No, he's desperate and incapable of taking care of things himself. He needs someone 
strong to protect him and to tell him what to do. And his 'bravery' is born out of 
desperation, too. Cutting off his own arm is still better than facing what LV would do 
to him if he refused to do it. So it's not real, hero-type bravery, it essentially is just the 
opposite, cowardice. He's too afraid of one thing, so he faces the other thing, always 
taking the easier route.
