Actor Sterling K. Brown recently sat down with IndieWire in San Diego during Comic-Con to discuss his role in Shane Black's The Predator and to open up about his character, William Traeger.
Traeger is basically the man heading the Project Stargazer mission - an initiative to study and exploit the Predator species and their technology. We learn that Traeger has some personal interests at heart during the course of the film and also has a bit of a chip on his shoulder for the Predator. As IndieWire explains:

The interview goes on to explain that Traeger isn't the most friendly of sorts -referring to him as "kind of a dick".
