Although Haakon grew up on Earth and his parents worked with non-Zaldans, it is very difficult to sway a Zaldan once they have set their minds upon a course.

This has lead to a tendency for Zaldans to be very protective of their 'tribe' and 'lands.' As with most Zaldan who venture into space, Haakon's "tribe" consists of his crewmates, while his "lands" consist of his ship and the Federation.
