"Mike:"
 * A lot, but what about
 * The entire, in fact, can become one if you side with Albatross in Moscow, as Few games have ever allowed the player to feel like as much of a Magnificent Bastard as you do when you play that sequence right.
 * Especially if you make it seem as if your other allies, i.e. Heck, Hong Shi, SIE, etc. are the ones Thorton thinks will come save him; Leland responds to them with mockery, but he has no idea  Thorton can also
 * Sparing Shaheed then killing him near the end.
 * The entire battle against Brayko. He's almost That One Boss, except that the music playing while fighting him is so freaking awesome.
 * If Thorton has a low approval with Madison, she'll  Watch it here.

"Marburg: I will end you, Thorton."
 * Completing the game on a Pacifist Run, without using lethal force. Think about it. Mike Thorton, alone, with limited support, is betrayed, cut off, and forced to fight police, mercenaries, terrorists, Deus Vult agents, G22 operatives, Triads and Russian gangsters, the Chinese Secret Police, CIA agents, and  all armed to the teeth and willing to kill him.
