[edit] Other characters
[edit] Anna-Maria Prisa
Anna-Maria is the second main character, although she isn't a playable character you can select her in the inventory to interact with items and people.
She asks for George to help her find treasure in a Manuscript that has been in her family for many generations. 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 some Manuscripts were stolen from the library prior to her disappearance.
[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 Moerlin.
[edit] The Neo-Templars
[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] 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 intensions 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. He is captured during George and Nico's trip to Congo and forced to work the Armillary in Egypt. He sacrifices himself so that George and Nico can stop Susarro.
[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 and somehow contracts anthrax, causing him to be placed in special care at the Hagenmeyer Clinic. 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

[edit] Petra
An assassin for Susarro who kills Vernon and attempts to frame Nico. She has platinum blonde hair and carries a magnum which jams on her several times throughout the game. Despite her efforts she is unable to kill either George or Nico. She is a reputed sadist. Though she appears loyal to Susarro she betrays him in Egypt and turns out to be an agent of the Grand Master who she saved at St. Ninians.
Throughout the game George teases Nico by making positive comments about Petra's appearance in comparison to Nico's at one point asking her if she ever considered "Going blond".
She seemlessly dissappears after the conclusive battle between George and the Grand Master.
[edit] Señor Susarro
An ailing, pale man who seeks the Dragon Power for himself. A former Neo-Templar and now the leader of the newly formed Dragon Cult. Sesarro has tapped into the dragon energy before and though its effects were innitially good he fell ill soon after and now searches to find the highest concentration of energy. He employs a private army from his fortress in Prague and repeatedly attempts to kill George and Nico. He is finally beaten in Egypt where the Grand Master uses his power to kill him.
[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.

After his confrontation with Nico he is not seen until the London part where he reveals his plot to Oubier and then kills him.
Karzac is successful in bringing Tezcatlipoca out of the Smoking Mirror, but in doing so he seals his own fate. Tezcatlipoca impales him and he seemingly melts upon the event.
[edit] Pablo

He appears again in London where Karzac kills Oubier. His last appearance is near the ending. He is killed in the games final cinematic, seen running away from the pyramid in tribal clothing he is killed by a blast of energy upon Tezcatlipoca's return.
[edit] Madame La Presidenta Grasiento
The dictator of Quaramonte and most likely Karzac's superior. She only appears twice, once to force her son to propose to Nico and at the end where he tries to choke Titipoco. The two trip and are left hanging from a ledge. Raoul appears and rescues Titipoco allowing his mother to fall to her death.
[edit] General Raoul Grasiento
Though starting out as a pawn to his mother Raoul is convinced by Nico that Karzac plans to dispose of him as soon as Tezcatlipoca has been freed. He has a brief struggle with Pablo off-screen, which he somehow survives to save Titipoco. He is rather tall with long blonde hair. In a conversation with Duane, George realises that he carries his medals on the wrong (the right) side of his chest.

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.

He has yellowish skin, bears a moustache and a clean-shaven head.

He can't however reach the slot for the stone and is surprised by President Grasiento who tries to strangle him. The two almost fall in to the deep pit which separates the Mirror's platform from the rest of the room but is saved by Raoul who happily let's her mother fall to her death (thus fulfilling the prediction Nico received in London). He however cowers at the presence of Tezcatlipoca and Titipoco is able to climb on him and place the stone in its slot.
[edit] Conchita Garcia
Owner of a local mining company. Grasiento is believed to have sabotaged the mining operation to allow Oubier to discover Tezcatlipoca's pyramid.

He discovers Nico and realises that she has been bitten by a venomous river snake.

He however lends George a fishing net to help him up the rocky cliff-face.

The owner of the Glease Gallery in Paris which shows displays of Mayan pots and Gleases own paintings.
