[edit] Protagonists

[edit] Commander Kessler

The commander-in-chief of the Special Tactical Force. Kessler received positive verification from a distress call when the URDA attacked Garland Square without warning, demands, or any motivation. Sensing suspicion within the URDA's reasons to take over Garland Square, Kessler dispatches STF's ace squad—Platoon One (led by Claude McGarren) to do away with the URDA. Later, realizing that his daughter, Melissa, was kidnapped by the URDA, he resends Platoon One to do away with the remnants at the Grassmarket District hoping that Platoon One will secure his daughter.

[edit] Melissa Kessler

Commander Kessler's daughter, Melissa was kidnapped by Jared Hunter as his vehicle to take his revenge against the STF, but was later rescued by Claude McGarren and the rest of STF's Elite Platoon One. Though Melissa was unharmed, Claude was forced to perform an air-to-sea chase to nullify Jared Hunter out cold.

[edit] Rachel MacPherson

The daughter of William MacPherson, supporter of the Sercian Revolution, former VSSE Agent, and first president of the Republic of Sercia. In a revenge plot, Rachel was kidnapped by Sherudo Garo, but was rescued by Richard Miller.

[edit] V.S.S.E. Dossiers

Main article: V.S.S.E.

Christy Ryan, Marisa Soleil, and Xavier Serano are considered VSSE dossiers since they are directly and/or indirectly involved with the VSSE's "problem-solving" agenda.

[edit] Daniel Winston

The leader of the Lukano Liberation Army. Hard-working and devoted to the cause of his country, Lukano, Daniel led a mission to the Zagorias-occupied Astigos Island, but was captured soon afterwards. He was eventually rescued by Alan, Wesley and his sister, Alicia.

[edit] Villains

[edit] Zeus Bertrand

Zeus is one of Kantaris' loyal bodyguards. He is currently holding Marisa Soleil captive after Kantaris ordered him to do so as a result of Kantaris intercepting Soleil's e-mails. Aboard Kantaris' yacht, he was guarding Marisa's cell when he was killed by Richard in a shootout.[1]

[edit] Marcus Black

A 38-year old Captain of the United States Army and the leader of the weapons transport regiment in the Hamlin Battalion. When Black was unhappy about commanding a private regiment through strict orders by the U.S. Military, Black (with the permission of Gregory Barrows) attempted to transport a truck shipment of Terror Bites and sell it to an unknown terrorist organization for a high price. The truck shipment was stopped as Black was forced to defend himself until the moment he was gunned down. The moment Giorgio, Evan, and Rush inspected the corpse of the paramilitary enemies (including Black), it appeared that Black, like all Hamlin Battalion troops, attempted to sell a truck shipment of Terror Bites through an act of betrayal against the United States (Black, like Barrows, was dissatisfied at the poor treatment the Hamlin Battalion was receiving from the U.S.). Black sports a black jumpsuit, a custom-made Barrett M107 anti-tank rifle in one hand, and a compact grappling hook to swing from high places and hurl heavy objects.[2]

[edit] Buff Bryant

Little is known about one of Neodyne's senior employees, except that he protects the Neodyne Industries Railways and is regarded as one of NDI's best bodyguards. Highly loyal since his military days. Bryant is charged with protecting the train that is transporting the satellite to Neodyne. Bryant attacked the VSSE agents utilizing his gatling gun and his brute strength to prevent the satellite from falling into the hands of Keith and Robert, but was gunned down in spite of his efforts..[3]

[edit] Edge

Edge[4] is one of the second-in-commands of the U.R.D.A. and a bodyguard for Derrick Lynch. Edge was once a student of ninjutsu until he was expelled for his violent tendencies. After this, Edge became a mercenary and eventually met Tiger, whom he befriended. After Derrick Lynch was arrested, Edge persuaded Tiger to help him break Lynch out of prison. After this, Lynch appointed Edge and Tiger as his lieutenants and bodyguards within the U.R.D.A.. In combat, Edge was a fearsome opponent, using claw-tipped bracers and throwing knives. He was also agile and fast, traits perfected during his days as a ninja-in-training. Edge was killed during the S.T.F's mission to retake the Garland complex.[5]

[edit] Randy Garrett

Garrett is the leader of the Zagorian clawmen. When Alan and Wesley boarded a supply train to reach the Astigos Island missile facility, Randy and his team of clawmen attempt to ambush them. He is armed with a pair of claw-tipped bracers and carries a grenade launcher. Randy was shot down by Alan and Wesley after a drawn-out fight.

[edit] Jake Hernandez

The former second-in-command of the Lukano Liberation Army. Greedy and selfish, Jake leaked information about the Lukano Liberation Army to Giorgio Zott in return for money. Jake was paid a sizable fortune for his part in the capture of most of the Lukano Army's members. When Jake learned that Alicia had escaped, he tried to capture her as well for more money, but was unable to do so due to Alicia's VSSE-like combat abilities. In combat, Jake was an excellent gunman proficient in the use of explosives, as well as martial arts. Jake was finally killed by Alicia when he tried to escape in a V-TOL prepared for him by Zott.[6]

[edit] Jared Hunter

Derrick Lynch's second-in-command who led the URDA remnants after Derrick's death. Attempting to seek revenge against "the STF Fools," Jared held the entire district of Grassmarket hostage and kidnapped Melissa Kessler as an insurance policy. In paper, Jared demands that all URDA comrades impounded and incarcerated by British authorities released and safely returned to him in exchange for Melissa. In reality, he only cares about taking revenge against the STF, the party he feels responsible for the downfall of Derrick Lynch's plans to destroy London.[7]

[edit] Jacob Kinisky

A former KGB operative, Kinisky defected to NDI after the collapse of the USSR. As an NDI operative, Kinisky is to prevent anyone from leaking information regarding about the Starline Network. In the introductory cut scene, he is seen storming Christy Ryan's hotel room and capturing her. He attempts to defeat the two protagonists, Robert and Keith, in various ways. He drives a truck to the plaza, but it topples over. As Keith and Robert pursue him, he jumps on his boat and uses his machine gun to try to mow them down. After a long battle, the two agents kill him, and his boat explodes. After the explosion, Keith and Robert recover the portable suitcase computer he had taken from Christy Ryan, thus the agents were given ample direction. .[8]

[edit] Jack Mathers

A 33-year old First Lieutenant of the United States Army and the manager of the Biological Weapons Research regiment of the Hamlin Battalion. Mathers was once a hero in the past and extremely loyal to America. Serving Gregory Barrows, Mathers doesn't always listen when it comes to certain tasks (since he tends to be a fanatic type). Knowing that Barrows' orders are absolute[9], Mathers vows to listen and communicate with Barrows more closely. He is very muscular and had brutish pig-like features along with pointed ears. Jack is an expert wrestler, and is very handy with a two-barreled machine gun, mantis terror bites, and grenades. He was sent to guard the Biological Weapon Research Facility in Wyoming against those who oppose Barrows. It is unclear whether he was killed after the battle or merely fell unconscious and was arrested later.

[edit] Moz

An assassin hired by Sherudo Garo. Moz was said to have undergone training as a ninja in Yokohama before he came to Sherudo's attention. In his service to Sherudo, Moz had murdered eleven people, including five senators of the Republic of Sercia. When Richard Miller encounters Moz and defeats him, Moz tells Richard with his last breath that Rachel is at the top of the tower in Sherudo's castle, and that she may already be dead as he told Richard. Richard then punches Moz, killing him. Moz's favored weapon was a bracer with claws made of titanium alloy.[10]

[edit] Tiger

One of the second-in-commands of the U.R.D.A. and a bodyguard of Derrick Lynch. Tiger was feared within the U.R.D.A. for his great strength, which he used to lift or toss heavy objects as weapons. The heaviest item he was seen lifting was a construction beam, which he used like a club. Tiger was also an accurate shot with an AK-47 rifle. Tiger was killed during the S.T.F's mission to retake the Garland complex.[11]

[edit] Web Spinner

The personal bodyguard of Kantaris. He was a savate champion and a cyborg who was altered to be able to use electric boomerangs. Some say that the Republic of Sercia had offered a reward for the capture (or death) of Web Spinner, who had reportedly murdered a hundred people before his service to Kantaris.

[edit] Victor Zahn

A solid V-TOL Pilot who served the Zagorias Federation for years. Utilizing his V-TOL weaponry, Zahn attacks intruders who seek to penetrate the Zagorian areas of the Marano Beach area. In spite of Zahn's brute strength and generous V-TOL weaponry, Zahn was eventually killed with his V-TOL exploding in the skies.
