Chin Ho - Chin Ho and Steve have a very "normal" relationship with one another. They are seen getting along quite well most of the time. Chin Ho will always do what was asked by Steve and does it without any fuss. Chin Ho and Steve's great relationship comes from the bonding that Chin and Steve's father had shared which had passed on to his son, Steve.
