After his confrontation with Nico he is not seen until 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 melts.

Later she 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.
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 survives to save Titipoco.
A dwarf who barely speaks English and originally a lackey for Karzac, he knocks Nico unconscious with a blow dart at the beginning of the game. Later in Marseilles, he is freed by George. He returns near the end of the game to help Nicole and George thwart Karzac. He carries one of the stones to the inner sanctum of Tezcatlipoca's temple. He cannot 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 both grab onto the edge. Raoul has to make a choice between his mother or Titipoco, who is saved by Raoul who lets his mother fall to her death. He then lets Titipoco climb on him and place the stone in its slot.

A musician supposedly arrested for playing traditional Quaramontean music, but who is suspected of being an anti-government agent and thus sentenced to death. George busts himself and Miguel out of jail with the help of Duane Henderson. Miguel leads George and Nico to a boat that takes them up-river.
A priest who was stranded in the jungle 11 years ago and lives in a tree house, occasionally visiting a native village. He discovers Nico and realises that she has been bitten by a venomous river snake. He ceased visiting the village after he conceived 7 children in a single week, during the feast of the monkey dance. He is torn between his shame at breaking his vow of celibacy and the pressure George puts on him about not abandoning the children he fathered.
A little fisher boy George meets in the Caribbean. Rio provides George with a broken bicycle, a fish, a conch and later a boat trip to Zombie Island. At first he tries to intimidate George when he reveals his desire to go to Zombie Island but once they arrive Rio refuses to leave his boat. He however lends George a fishing net to help him up the rocky cliff-face.

A French archaeologist suspected of having murdered his wife, an actress named Carol Kleimachs. He becomes addicted to drugs and the unwitting pawn of Karzac. He is confronted by George in Quaramonte but seems oblivious to Nico's abduction. He finally meets Nico in London where he steals the Jaguar Stone under orders from Karzac. Aboard Karzac's boat he is told that Karzac plotted to use Oubier by killing his wife and getting him addicted to drugs and is killed by Karzac.
Mina and Frost Ketch are the descendants of Captain Frederic Ketch, the pirate who stole the Eagle Stone from the Spanish. They are also the owners of the Frederic Ketch Memorial Museum.

It was recently revealed that Revolution's intentions were for her to be a ghost. The clues given were how the aunts didn't want to talk about her, how Rio missed her and how she suddenly turned around to talk to George in a fade. Rio explains to George how she died enclosed in a trunk when she was playing to hide and seek.
Haiku McEwan is the teen star of the film-adaption of Treasure Island being filmed on Zombie Island. He plays Jimbo Hawkins, as he explains he got the director to change the name of the lead character. Haiku explains that he was named Haiku by her mother because when he was born, he was so small and beautiful, he reminded her of a Japanese poem. His middle name is later revealed to be Limerick. He is in Broken Sword 2.5: The Return of the Templars mentioned by a passerby that he visited the History Museum.
Nicole's friend from college. During George's absence he has been trying, unsuccessfully, to seduce Nicole. He keeps the Coyote Stone safe while George is in Marseilles.
Pearl and Duane return in Quaramonte and once again assist George. Pearl is used to distract General Grasiento's assistant, Renaldo and Duane helps George with his prison break. The two apparently drove all the way to Quaramonte just to go shopping. Duane however seems to have his own agenda and claims to be on a top secret mission from Uncle Sam. According to Pearl, Duane is a "Snoozer" as while his CIA fantasies were cured by his hypnotherapist, he now really does work for the CIA without realising it. Duane mistakenly used organic as opposed to chemical fertiliser for his bomb rendering it useless for his plan to use explosives to break Miguel and George (who had gone to warn Miguel and ended up captured himself). He also falsely believes that Nico and George are in a threesome with Andre.
Moue, a character believed to have been killed in the first game, is mentioned to have actually gone into hiding. He is revealed to have gotten a promotion.
