On page 116, Vladek refers to Haskel as a “kombinator” What is a “kombinator”? Do you agree with him why or why not?

I'm really confused about this question if someone could please leave their opinion to help guide me with this question i would really appreciate it! :)

A kombinator is a person of questionable ethics. Haskel is a cousin of Vladek's. He is like a slimy salesman. He schmoozes and schemes his way into being treated better than other Jews. Vladek calls him “Kombinator" which means schemer.
