[edit] Main Characters
[edit] George Stobbart
George Stobbart ("Two B's two T's" is his catchphrase) is the main playable character in the game Broken Sword: The Angel of Death. After his work as a patent lawyer dries up, he is forced to find work in New York.
The game starts out in New York, where George is working as a Bail Bonds clerk. There, he meets Anna-Maria, who is being chased by the mafia for an ancient manuscript which leads to treasure. George agrees to help Anna-Maria decode the manuscript; however, the manuscript is stolen by the mafia and George has to infiltrate their place of business to get it back. After retrieving the manuscript and upon closer inspection of it, George and Anna-Maria discover that they must travel to the ancient city of Constantinople (Medieval Istanbul) to find the treasure.
The manuscript indicates that the treasure is located underneath the old citadel, which is now Topkapı Palace. George and Anna-Maria break into the palace and find the entrance to the treasure room. After successfully retrieving the treasure (which is in the form of a golden angel statue), they escape the palace and spend the night together. When George wakes up the next morning, he finds Anna-Maria missing and Mevlut, a secret service agent, pointing a gun to his face. Mevlut explains that George and Anna-Maria were caught on the surveillance cameras breaking into the palace; in light of George's connections with the mafia, authorities assume he is a terrorist. He is arrested and sent to prison. At the prison, he is greeted by a priest and a nun who help him escape; the nun is revealed to be Nico in disguise. After escaping the prison, Nico agrees to help George look for Anna-Maria. They search Anna-Maria's room for clues and discover that she now lives in Rome.
The two travel to Rome to find Anna-Maria. Upon their arrival, they discover photos of Anna-Maria dressed as a nun and a metro ticket to the Vatican. George decides to travel to the Vatican to find out more. He infiltrates the wafer factory opposite the Order of St Michael by posing as a health inspector.
[edit] Anna-Maria Presa
Anna-Maria is the second main character; although she isn't a playable character, she can be selected from the inventory to interact with items and people.
She asks George to help her dencipher a manuscript which has been in her family for many generations, and which points to the location of a treasure. After they find the treasure, Anna-Maria and George spend the night together and, when George wakes up, he finds she is missing.
It is later revealed that she used to work for the Vatican and that some manuscripts were stolen from the library prior to her disappearance.
Later Anna-Maria helps George stop the badguys from using the Ark of the Covenant as a weapon of mass-destruction. As George bashes the ark with his telescopic golf-club, Anna-Maria holds Mevlut at bay and eventually shoots him, only to take a bullet as well.
[edit] Nico Collard
Nico is the second playable character, the third main character and an old friend of George's. She is also selectable from the inventory to interact with items and people.
She comes to George's help when he gets arrested in Istanbul and agrees to help him find Anna-Maria when the latter goes missing.

It's a screw-up alright!". Chico has a love for salami but isn't much of a gangster and mostly works as a comic relief.
[edit] Alfonso
The owner of the hotel where Anna-Maria is staying. Speaks with low, gravely voice and a distinct Brooklyn accent. His hotel though advertised online as a five-star affair is in fact (to the dissappointment of Mr. Minster) an under-managed establishments, lacking working toilets, functional soda- or cigarrette-machines and being infested by Death Watch Beetles. Alfonso himself is a chronic smoker and his receptionist's booth has a layer of smoke covering the ceiling. His sole employee is Juanita the maid. Despite the pathetic conditions of his hotel Alfonso cares enough for the security of his guests to have actually installed card-locked doors for the staircase leading up to the rooms.
Alfonso says that he intends to trade his antique grandfather clock for a condo in Florida once he retires. His golden lighter is the only thing he has left to remember his father by who according to him died in a gas-explosion.

[edit] Order of St. Michael

Member of the Holy Order who gives George information on Anna Maria. It is only later revealed that he and Father Gregor intend to wipe out the non-Christians of the world with the power of the Ark. Devlin appears to survive the events with little personal consequence.
