[edit] Main characters
[edit] George Stobbart
An American patent lawyer on vacation in Paris who is knocked out by the explosion caused by Khan which killed Plantard. With the help from Nico George begins to piece together the motive behind the murder which leads him on the trail of the Knights Templar. George travels to Ireland, Spain and Syria and eventually to Scotland for the final confrontation with the Neo-Templars all the while making stops at Nico's apartment in Paris, solving puzzles and avoiding being killed by either traps, Khan or thugs of the Neo-Templars.
[edit] Nicole Collard
A French freelance photo-journalist who was supposed to meet Plantard before his death who connects the murderer to two previous murders (the victims of which turn out to be members of the Neo-Templars). Nico does mostly investigative work though helps George steal the Tripod from the museum when George knocks himself out while trying to stop Flap and Guido. Nicole destroys the Sword of Baphomet when she throws Khan's C4 on to a pile of burning gunpowder. Nico lives at a dump of an apartment and is trying to become a big-time journalist. She eventually falls in love with George.
[edit] Khan
A Syrian member of the assassination cult, the Hashiashin, and the greatest nemesis of the Neo-Templars. Khan views the Neo-Templars as enemies of Allah and humanity, unworthy of the title of the noble enemy his ancestors fought. Khan begins to kill members of the Neo-Templars in order to prevent them from piecing together the location of the Sword of Baphomet. In the end Khan is shot by Eklund but his C4 is used by Nico to destroy the sword. Khan's most distinct traits are his threatening, snake-like voice and the crescent-shaped scar on his right cheek. Khan may not actually be his real name as he goes under many aliases, the most used one being Thomas Moerlin.
[edit] Supporting characters
[edit] Flobbage
A road-worker whose sewer-key is stolen by George and used several times during his adventure. George gives Flobbage a newspaper and he learns about a favourite racehourse of his who is racing that day, so he goes to put a bet on the racehorse and wins that bet which turns his life around, he returns in Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon.
[edit] André Lobineau
A History student that Nicole had known in college who still considers him a contestant for her affections. Though subtle he gets carried away when talking about history. Though an expert on history, his geography is apparently not that good. His distinct feature is his ponytail which George seems to detest (though this might be due to its bearer).
[edit] Sergeant Moué
A dutiful but over-excited Gendarme who has a habit of premature extrapolation which his superior, Rosso, detests. Moué is thought to be deceased during the first game but the sequel reveals that he apparently revealed Rosso's secret and simply went to hiding. He has some odd hobbies such as collecting matchboxes. A quote from the second game hints that he may have been promoted to Inspector during the time between the first game and the second. He bears a thick moustache.
[edit] Inspector Rosso
A stern officer of the law and a proponent of psychic-detection which he often uses to solve his cases. Rosso is later revealed to be a member of the Neo-Templars, the likely reason for the closing of the café-bombing investigation. Though Rosso tries to drive George away from revealing the truth he finally cracks at the end, killing Eklund to save George, before being shot by the Grand Master. He has yellowish skin, bears a moustache and a clean-shaven head.
[edit] The Gendarme
A Gendarme is constantly drinking at the café near Mountfaucon, unaware that the Neo-Templars meeting place is located in the underground caves beneath it. He would later return in the sequel after being forced to retire.
[edit] Flap & Guido
Two petty criminals hired by the Neo-Templars as thugs and to organise the theft of Peagram's tripod. Flap is a fat and powerful, but a simple-minded thug while Guido is more suave and trusts more in his gun or throwing knife. Although both are presumed dead by the end of the game, Flap returns in The Sleeping Dragon.
[edit] Lady Piermont
The old English lady at the Piano in the Hotel Ubu. She is very helpful to George by giving him information on Khan and by distracting the clerk to allow him to take the room key. Later, she helps him obtain the manuscript. In Sleeping Dragon, she is mentioned again as "Aunt Clarissa" by her Niece Mellissa, although she never meets George again
[edit] Sean Fitzgerald
A young Irishman from Lochmarne who is supposed to deliver Peagram's Gem to Jacques Marquet. George scares him off and he gets run over by Khan who got disguised as a Pixie for the occasion. Whether or not he survived has never been disclosed.
[edit] Countess de Vasconcellos
The lonely owner of the de Vasconcellos' Lands and the last of her line, with just her gardener to keep her company. She believes that the Templars betrayed her family by not coming to the rescue of one of his ancestors and his children. In the end it is revealed that the lost de Vasconcellos is buried in the cathedral at Montfaucon. Later George discovers the children's skeletons at the bottom of a forgotten well along with an ancient chess-piece and the final clue to the location of the Sword of Baphomet.
[edit] The Hendersons
An American couple called Duane and Pearl Henderson who visit the Marib town in Syria. Both overweight and jolly, Duane is the chairman of a greeting card manufacturing company (so he says, until it is revealed he works for some Government scheme; possibly the CIA). George tricks them in to giving him 50$. They return for an appearance in Broken Sword II: The Smoking Mirror when George bumps into them in Quaramonte City in Central America. Duane makes a solo cameo appearance in the sauna in Angel of Death.
[edit] Liam McGuire
A young boy who George meets outside McDevitts bar in Lochmarne. McGuire witnessed Sean Fitgerald being knocked over by Kahn and he tells George of how he saw Professor Peagram give Sean Fitzgerald a package at the dig.
[edit] The Neo-Templars
[edit] Plantard
The old man and the intended victim of Khan. Plantard was supposed to give Nicole the manuscript which George later steals from Khan. Nothing much is known about him, except that he met with Khan's other victims obviously to discuss about the Sword of Baphomet.
[edit] Nigel Peagram (a.k.a. Molly Peagram)
A renowned archaeologist who also hosted his own TV-show, "Peagram's Past". He returns from retirement in order to dig up the Gem and Tripod from the castle at Lochmarne, Ireland. Before George reaches him, Peagram leaves in the fears of being killed by Khan and leaves the Gem for Sean Fitzgerald to deliver for Jacques Marquet. Peagram is never seen in the game aside from a magazine-page shown by Nico and the dialogue-icons. According to George's and the Grand Master's conversation towards the end of the game, he is presumed dead.
[edit] Bruno Ostvalt
A Nobel Prize winner and Historian for the Neo-Templars. Although not named in this game, his name is revealed in the third Broken Sword game. By the second time George meets him in The Sleeping Dragon he has abandoned the Neo-Templars, describing their intentions as “evil”. In The Shadow of the Templars he is still a member of the organisation but his doubts towards the Grand Master’s scheme are hinted at during one of their meetings. Although he speaks slower and with less zest than in The Sleeping Dragon his speech still bears the same lack of a sense of humour.
[edit] Jacques Marquet (Mole of Montmartre)
A man suspected guilty of many crimes but free due to his competent team of attorneys. Jacques is severely beaten up from an attack attempt by Khan, causing him to be placed in special care at the Hagenmeyer Clinic. It is initially thought that he has contracted anthrax, however this is merely a rumour started by the hospital guard. Under heavy medication, he mistakes George for a Neo-Templar and reveals that he has hired Flap and Guido to steal Peagram's Tripod. Marquet ends up killed by Eklund.
[edit] Eklund
A dangerous member of the Neo-Templars who kills Marquet and later tries to do the same to Nico and George. He is killed by Rosso who throws a dagger at his neck.
[edit] Klausner
While searching for clues to the location of the sword of Baphomet Klausner is trapped inside a cave in Syria and dies of starvation. He wears an outfit very similar to that of Indiana Jones.
[edit] The Grand Master
The Leader of the Neo-Templars who is killed along with several of the Templars when Nico destroys the Sword. He attempts to turn George on his side but ultimately fails. He is later revealed to have survived the castle's explosion in the third Broken Sword game.
