Condemned (series)/Characters

Ethan Thomas
An SCU agent who was framed for the murder of two cops while investigating the crime scene of a high profile serial killer. He spends the vast majority of the game trying to clear his name and track down the real culprit. His only weapons are a tazor, his SCU gear, and whatever he can find in the ruined environments around him.


 * The Alcoholic: He can't even shoot right in the second game with drinking alcohol, although he does eventually get better.
 * Beard of Sorrow: Gains one in the second game.
 * Made of Iron: Which is actually explained in the game itself.
 * Took a Level in Jerkass: In the first game he seems pretty calm and rational, if not friendly. One of the first things he does in the second game is to tell a bum who tried to help him off the ground to "piss off" while flipping him the bird.
