Killzone/Characters: Difference between revisions

 

* [[Asskicking Equals Authority]]: He gets promoted to Colonel by the time of ''Killzone 2'', in no small part due to his central role in fighting off the Helghast invasion of Vekta.

* [[The Kirk]]: Acts as the arbitrator between logical, Spock-like Hakha and "Hulk Smash" Rico.

* [[The Mario]]: He's the most balanced of the 4 player characters, and the one that plays most like a standard FPS hero.

 

=== Sergeant Rico Velasquez ===

 

* [[Action Girl]]/[[Dark Action Girl]]: Although she's one of the "good guys", she's also a stone-cold assassin.

* [[Fragile Speedster]]: Being an assassin, she moves faster than the other 3 player characters and can vault over objects, but her light armor also means she can survive noticeably less damage.

 

=== Colonel Gregor Hakha ===

 

* [[Defector From Decadence]]: Despite holding the rank of Colonel in the Helghast army and even being the Chief of Staff for General Lente, Hakha eventually defected to the ISA out of concern over the fascist direction Scolar Visari was taking the Helghan people.

* [[Token Enemy Minority]]: The only friendly Helghast character in the series.

 

 

=== General Stuart Adams ===

 

* [[Bad Boss]]: {{spoiler|He breaks the skull one of his own men out of frustration after being told his planned ambush of Templar's squad has failed.}}

* [[Dreadlock Rasta|Dreadlock General]]: Has a rather unique appearance, consisting of dreadlocks and a soulpatch.

* {{spoiler|[[The Mole]]}}

* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: Adams breaks down into insanity after the many constant failures to kill Jan and his team.

 

=== Lance Corporal Dante Garza ===

 

 

=== Corporal Shawn Natko ===

=== Captain Jason Narville ===

 

 

=== Jammer ===

=== Hooper ===

 

 

== The Helghast ==

 

=== Autarch Scolar Visari ===

 

* [[Big Bad]]: Of the series whole, although he only appears in person at the end of ''Killzone 2'' {{spoiler|(where Rico promptly kills him)}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]}}

* [[Large Ham]]

* [[Magnificent Bastard]]

 

=== General Joseph Lente ===

* [[The Dragon]]: To Visari.

 

=== General Armin Metrac ===

 

=== Colonel Mael Radec ===

* [[Anticlimax Boss]]: One can use the flamethrower to burn Radec, and his boss battle will then only consist of him screaming and flailing in agony (leaving him unable to attack) whilst the player continuously shoots him until he runs out of health, which then triggers his death cutscene.

* [[Bad Boss]]/[[A Father to His Men]]: Radec is a very rare example of both being a Bad Boss and yet a genuine Father to His Men. He's a leading teacher at the Helghan Academy and personally trained many of the Helghast soldiers defending Pyrrhus, and also gives rousing speeches to his men over the radio, yet is also completely ruthless and even had two of his men executed for uniform violations ("the dress code is the foundation of discipline").

* [[Blood Knight]]: He relishes on war and bloodshed.

* [[Colonel Badass]]

* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: He's one of the series' most popular characters.

* [[Genius Bruiser]]: He's a tactical genius, as well as a master of personal combat and seemingly as strong as a [[Giant Mook]] (as shown in his brief fight with Colonel Templar).

* [[Kick the Dog]]: He remorselessly shoots a captured ISA marine during an interrogation. He also shoots Evelyn when she tries to delete the nuclear codes.

* [[Worthy Opponent]]: He sees Templar as one. When he meets Templar during the Helghast counter-attack on the ISA ships, he expresses disappointment that they couldn't meet each other on the battlefield like soldiers.

 

=== Admiral Orlock ===

 

* [[This Is Sparta]]: This is an '''OUTRAGE!'''.

 

=== Chairman Jorhan Stahl ===

 

* [[Arch Enemy]]: He is one to Orlock.

* [[Bad Boss]]: Stahl clearly holds his men in contempt, and is more than willing to sacrifice them to further his own goals at the drop of a hat.

* [[Blackmail]]: He threatens to reveal senator Kuisma's infatuation with young boys if he didn't give him his support.

* [[Diabolical Mastermind]]/[[Evil Genius]]: He's basically the Diabolical Mastermind counterpart to Visari's [[Evil Overlord]].

* [[Sequel Hook]]: The cliffhanger ending hints that Stahl was able to escape his cruiser before it exploded.

* [[Taking the Bullet]]: Subverted when he quickly uses a nearby HAZMAT to unwillingly take the bullet when Sev tries to kill him.

* [[You!]]: Does one when Sev reveals himself from his disguise.
