Much like Tex, one of the first questions that York brings up when asked to help Tex get in somewhere to find Omega is “What’s in it for me.” And instead of any kind of monetary reimbursement, it’s very much the idea of payback that gets him interested. In the past, Omega-Texas had somehow (in a way that wasn’t ever really explained) injured his left eye, which left York at a disadvantage on that side. Delta watches it for him, of course, but there’s still possibly some lingering resentment over this fact. York notes that it’s “still blurry, hurts when I read,” when Tex asks how his eye is doing. The thing about it, is, however, that Tex asks him to help get her in to where she needs to be. She doesn't ask him to help back her up, to stake the place out, to basically go back to doing Freelancer-ish things, save for picking that one lone lock. It's York that slips into the rhythm of it once more, it seems, defaulting to her when it comes to all of this, slipping back into the kind of Freelancer mentality, where they function as a small group. He doesn't have to do any of this; he agrees to get her in, but he furthers this by helping her as he does.
York's relationship with Delta is one that requires some talking about, too. When you take into account the other Freelancers and their AI counterparts, you have people like Epsilon and Wash (who don't get along currently and who suffered from it), Omega and Texas (Tex, who focuses on trying to find a way to kill Omega after the things he's done/will do), Wyoming and Gamma (Gamma, who forcibly removed himself from Wyoming, etc) you have this kind of mess of essentially Bad Things that have resulted from Freelancer experiments. Then, you get introduced to York, who is away from Freelancer, has been living on his own with his AI for an undetermined amount of time, and when Texas sees him, he's not treating Delta with animosity or any sort of mistrust; if anything, he treats Delta like one would treat their best friend; asking for advice, jibing back and forth, playfully. It's a sharp sort of contrast to the rest of the Freelancer/AI pairings, where everything has turned out kind of Bad End, and instead with these two, they get along well, are able to function outside of the mess of Freelancer, working as essentially best friends, treating Delta like a real person instead of an AI fragment.
Abilities and Weaknesses:
York’s an excellent infiltration specialist. Arguably one of the best left over from Freelancer after everything else that went on, when York is paired with Delta, they’re able to get into a lot of things. There’s no canon basis for just what he can or cannot do, considering all that’s shown is Tex asking for his help getting into something that she herself cannot get into. With the timeline and the technology available, I’d venture a guess that York’s extremely capable with all of this sort of thing, regarding technology and locks, encryptions, hacking, etc.
As far as weaknesses go, physically, he’s next to blind in his left eye, which results canonly in York asking Delta for help in watching his left side, knowing he’s weaker on it due to that. He compensates for it, of course, and is used to it, but it still puts him at a disadvantage at times, especially if he’s lacking Delta at any point in time.
