Line 33:
** Also Mike and Heck.
** There's also Mike and Marburg, if Mike goes out of his way to impress Marburg by acting as a [[Consummate Professional]]. It's helped that Marburg's background is [[Not So Different]] from Mike's, and the fact Marburg is implied to be [[Ambiguously Gay]] by Mike and Madison (since Mike questions the statues of naked men in Marburg's mansion, and Madison affirms that she never saw Marburg "entertaining" any female guests).
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]:
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]:* {{spoiler|Thorton}}, arguably. In one ending he {{spoiler|sticks Westridge and Leland with the blame for the stolen missiles, which it was. By threatening Parker with the fact that once what Halbech and Alpha Protocol becomes public Parker will be stuck holding the bag he convinces Parker to help him preserve the evidence of Alpha Protocol's involvement. Naturally, Leland protests that he has powerful friends who will protect him, to which Thorton replies that they '''can't''' ''since it would require admitting that not only does Alpha Protocol exist but that it is sanctioned by the US government''.}}
** Combine with [[Manipulative Bastard]] when you consider that Mike ''allowed'' Madison to die because he'd just ''found out'' that she is Alan Parker's ''daughter'' - note in the dossier that it specifically tells the player just how Parker would react if something bad happened to her. It's specifically ''urging'' the player to make sure Madison dies ''just'' so Mike has ammunition against Parker.
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Michael never really crosses it but a lot of NPC's do. Most of his less White actions seem to be in the [[I Did What I Had to Do]] territory.
