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:

Traeger, an alien technology expert through his Project Stargazer. Studying artifacts from past predator attacks, Traeger is amassing all the knowledge he can about the creatures. “He has his own interest at heart, but also [is] looking to just kick the predator’s ass.
The interview goes on to explain that Traeger isn't the most friendly of sorts -referring to him as "kind of a dick".
