If you mean the "stalker-with-a-crush" Asuna's escort, that guy is Kuradeel. And it seems that he have a stereotyped view on "Beaters", such as:

- They keep their useful information, experiences and hoard rare items solely for themselves. These info would've save lifes if leaked, but they don't. They thought it's because they wanted to hoard all the rare items, when they really can't because they would've risking getting kicked out.

- If their life is in danger, they'll simply ditch the rest of the party to save themself.

In Episode 3 Kirito really acts like one, what with hiding levels and infos and all. but in "Aria in the Starless Night" side story he acts otherwise (at least to Asuna, thanks to her map). If the wall of text is too much to you, Episode 2 tell the same story, though it leaves the finer plots out.
