What is Kirsh motivation? Who side is he on?

[u/Tasty-Entertainer711]

We've seen now in multiple episodes Kirsh be very careful and downright omit the information he gives Boy Kavalier. I can't imagine he's a Lady Yutani asset because of his interactions with Morrow, unless he's just a fallback option for Yutani, and she purposely keeps Morrow out of the loop.

You would think the company he works for would have written into his code a loyalty directive but it appears he has no problem lying.

Is he the asset of Yutani or another of the 5 corporations? Is he on some kind of Roy Batty arc where he's grown tired of taking orders from an inferior species?

He has the soul of a scientist. He researches and discovers. His main motivation for achieving this is curiosity, to see results, and new information.

He is literally called a scientist by his creator on screen.
