Emile sees himself as a SPARTAN, and nothing more. Thus, to him the real Emile is his armor, not the man underneath. This is conveyed by having Emile never take off his helmet, making him appear inhuman to the viewers. His contempt for Jorge's soft side also conveys Emile's views on both himself and what he believes a SPARTAN should be: a soldier and a killer first and foremost.
Giving a human face to Emile would completely ruin the image of man who, deep down, is afraid or unable to admit that, augmentation, training, and armor aside, he is just a man.
Yes, it adds alot more mystery to the character too, like 6, Rookie, and Chief. And what's more interesting is that he's flambouyant, and the other 3 are not, and he still doesn't remove his helmet. Just that white skull of death staring at you.
As for Noble Team not having 'personality', who cares? They're Sparatns. In the novels, they never yapped on about bs or acted all goofy like the ODSTs in Halo 3: ODST. They're about business, nothing else. And besides, I thought Jorge, Jun, and Kat had great personalities. Carter was like Chief, he had to be serious, 6 again, is like Chief in a way, he's you, so you don't want to give off too much personality, and he's a machine, a hyper lethal vector, and Emile is a killing machine, a Spartan, proud of it, and doesn't want to be looked at as anything else. It even says in his bio/profile or whatever that he doesn't work well with or get along with 'non-Spartans'.
