It's a religious thing about not covering the turban, Sikh, I believe.

The gentleman is indeed a Sikh. Getting charged by a platoon of Sikhs would be terrifying.

... getting charged by a platoon of a lot of things would be terrifying. Eg ducks, strawberries, decomposing clowns, "helpful" AIs trying to make your job easier, Boeing's "HR" team, uncomprehendable eldritch monsters, regular monsters (ie humans), Smurfs, Tuvixs, big mommy dommy Amazonians, etc.

Yes it is a religious thing, though it is more about covering the head not the turban. This is kind of half and half depending on how orthodox the sikh is. So many Sikhs will wear anything on their head, helmet, hat etc.
