Line 29:
* [[Aerith and Bob]]: As revealed in supplemental material, the full lineup for the Old Gods of Asgard were Odin, Tor, Loki and Fat Bob.
** Although his full stage name was Fat Bob [[wikipedia:Baldr|Balder]], so he's an Aerith and a Bob at the same time.
* [[The Alcoholic]]:
** Agent Nightingale is said to drink due to his stressful job. {{spoiler|Having lost his old partner probably doesn't help either.}}
** Alan is one himself, thanks to the numerous parties in the wake (pun unintended) of his recent bestselling novel.
** Walter, the drunkard locked up in the sheriff station. He later sneaks off to the Anderson farm to steal some moonshine. It goes badly for him.
* [[Alas, Poor Villain]]:
** It's hard to stay mad at {{spoiler|Mott the fake kidnapper}} once you realize that the only reason he tried to wrestle a manuscript out of Alan was because {{spoiler|Hartman was manipulating him to}}. Additionally, he runs into the Dark Presence shortly before he and Alan meet for the last time. We don't see what the Dark Presence does to him, but by the time Alan catches up to him, he's broken and sobbing, begging for mercy.
** This can also apply to {{spoiler|Agent Nightingale}} if you have access to ''[[All There in the Manual|The Alan Wake Files]]'' from the Limited Edition. {{spoiler|He feels guilt over his partner's death and is taking it out on others on the job. Of course, Alan receives the full brunt of Agent Nightingale's behaviour}}.
** Mister Scratch of all people is a helpless slave to the way he's written. As a self-aware fictional character, it bothers him enough that he tries to bring it up with Alan but ''can't''.
* [[The Alcoholic]]:
** Agent Nightingale is said to drink due to his stressful job. {{spoiler|Having lost his old partner probably doesn't help either.}}
** Alan is one himself, thanks to the numerous parties in the wake (pun unintended) of his recent bestselling novel.
** Walter, the drunkard locked up in the sheriff station. He later sneaks off to the Anderson farm to steal some moonshine. It goes badly for him.
* [[All There in the Manual|All There In The Manuscript]]:
** You'll miss out on a ton of the backstory if you don't read the manuscript pages you keep finding, including certain characters' names and what was happening when Alan Wake was preoccupied or unconscious.
