{{quote| ''"My name is Sgt. James Heller, and I will destroy Alex Mercer."''}}
 
A [[Semper Fi|marine]] who [[Death By Origin Story|lost his family to the infection]] while he was away on duty. He returns to Manhattan, [[Death Seeker|runs a series of suicide missions in the Red Zone]], and is eventually mortally wounded. Mercer is impressed by his skill, however, and [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain|infects Heller]] [[Emergency Transformation|with his unique strain of Blacklight.]] Now a [[Badass Abnormal|newly]] [[Humanoid Abomination|super powered Heller]] [[I Hate You, Vampire Dad|vows to kill Mercer.]]
 
* [[Angry Black Man]]
* [[Anti -Hero]]: [[Sliding Scale of Anti -Heroes|A mix of a Type II and III in personality and a Type IV by virtue of the necessarily extreme degree of some of his actions.]]
* [[Appendage Assimilation]]: Gains new abilities by tearing off and assimilating the limbs of Blacklight Abominations {{spoiler|and Evolved}} with those powers.
* [[Badass Normal]]: Before the transformation.
Line 22:
* [[Determinator]]: His first reaction to seeing Alex Mercer, super-strong super-agile notorious bio-terrorist scourge of New York? Pull out the only weapon he had at the time - a large knife - run up and ''stab the bastard''. Rinse, repeat even after being flung roughly a block and while being lifted into the air, strangled and impaled simultaneously. Total waste of effort, of course, but Alex must ''need'' the [[Super Strength]] to lift a man with balls that size.
** Later on, when Heller {{spoiler|interferes with the Whitelight dispersal}}, Alex decides enough is enough and {{spoiler|just tries to kill Heller by reinfecting him and destroying him from within. Heller survives through nothing but raw ''hate'' (and generic resistance) and breaks off Mercer's appendage from the "wrist" down.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|Did You Just Eat Alex Mercer?]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[The Dragon]]: To Alex Mercer initially.}}
* [[Emergency Transformation]]: He's unhappy about what Mercer did to him in order to save his life.
Line 36:
* [[Horrifying Hero]]: {{spoiler|Really hits home when he's finally reunited with his daughter and she's just too terrified to even touch him. [[Heartwarming Moments|She gets over it, though.]]}}
* [[Humanoid Abomination]]: Same deal as Alex.
* {{spoiler|[[I Hate You, Vampire Dad|I Hate You, Supervirus Dad]]}}
* [[Immune to Bullets]]: With the "Bulletproof" mutation.
* [[Kill and Replace]]: Like Mercer, but his most prominent and lasting one was {{spoiler|[[The Dragon|Lieutenant Riley]], codename "Castle".}}
Line 52:
** [[Combat Tentacles]]: To an even more extreme degree than Mercer, apparently. His Tendril powers can be used in conjunction with [[Wreaking Havok]], allowing for wholesale devastation of scenery as well as large numbers of [[Mook|Mooks]].
** [[Instant Armor]]: The Armor from [[Downloadable Content|the Excessive Force pack]].
** [[Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me]]: The Shield, which can now be [[Dual -Wielding|dual wielded]].
** [[Power Fist]]: The Hammerfists.
** [[Spikes of Doom]]: The Groundspike maneuver, now used in conjunction with the Hammerfists.
*** His [[Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me|shields]] become studded with spikes after a certain point.
** [[Whip Sword]]: Heller's Whipfist, while a [[Combat Tentacles|Combat Tentacle]], has serrations and is tipped by a blade.
** [[Why Am I Ticking]]: The Biobomb.
** [[Wolverine Claws]]: The Claws, which bear serrations on their outer edges, similar to a combat knife.
*** They can be used to perform a [[Deadly Lunge]].
* [[Shell -Shocked Veteran]]: Was diagnosed with both PTSD and [[Unstoppable Rage]].
* [[Sir Swearsalot]]: Becomes noticeably much more vulgar after {{spoiler|he loses his family.}}
* [[Smarter Than You Look]]: He's gruff as all hell and not always eloquent, which makes him seem a bit like [[Dumb Muscle]]. However, he's at times startlingly witty (though he ascribes to [[Black Comedy]]) and the way he utterly turns Blackwatch upside-down makes it clear that he's tactically brilliant. Likewise, being a sergeant in the Marine corps requires no little amount of intelligence.
Line 91:
 
* {{spoiler|[[Blade Below the Shoulder]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Humanoid Abomination]]: One of Mercer's [[Co -Dragons|Evolved]].}}
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Pretty much a given, especially with the track record of other Gentek scientists. He is ''elated'' when he sees Heller is infected but alive - such an intriguing subject! {{spoiler|Being an Evolved, he has other motives for investigating Heller.}}
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Plays {{spoiler|Heller}} like a fiddle for a few missions, much like Karen Parker did to Mercer in the first game.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: König (of which Koenig is an alternate spelling) means "king" in German. He's the head virologist of Gentek.
* {{spoiler|[[The Mole]]: For Mercer.}}
* [[Morally -Ambiguous Doctorate]]: Given that he's the "lead virologist" at a company known only for creating some pretty deadly viruses...
* [[Playing With Syringes]]: The Gentek ''modus operandi'', but his enthusiasm is unusual even for Gentek. He literally has Heller [[Strapped to An Operating Table]] at one point.
 
Line 107:
* [[Femme Fatale]]: She tends to rely on sex-appeal in order to get her way.
* {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Revolving Door]]: Works for Mercer, being a spy in Gentek, but then helps Heller against Mercer's Evolved. Finally shifts back to Mercer's side when Heller doesn't take her offer to leave the city with her.}}
** {{spoiler|[[ItsIt's All About Me]]}}
{{quote| {{spoiler|'''Heller''': Who's side are you on?}}<br />
{{spoiler|'''Galloway''': Mine.}} }}
* {{spoiler|[[Hot Chick in A Badass Suit]]: Sort of. She doesn't actually fight you at all, but she does prove to have [[Super Strength]] when she finally shows her [[Humanoid Abomination|Evolved]] form.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Humanoid Abomination]]: One of Mercer's [[Co -Dragons|Evolved]].}}
* [[Manipulative Bitch]]: She's quite aware she's no soldier and relies on deals and planning to survive.
* {{spoiler|[[The Mole]]: For Mercer.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Rewarded As a Traitor Deserves]]: Consumed by Mercer along with the other Evolved present in order to supercharge himself for the final battle.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Scarily Competent Tracker]]: Of other Evolved. She can track any of them, presumably by a method similar to Heller's viral sonar, except Heller himself and the untraceable [[Stealth Expert|Roland]].}}
* {{spoiler|[[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: Tries to convince [[Papa Wolf|Heller]] to escape the city and leave his daughter behind. He doesn't take.}}
* {{spoiler|[[The Starscream]]: Suggests she and Heller team up against Mercer, but is rejected.}}
* [[The Sociopath]]: Her motivations are her own advancement and Gentek's bottom line, in that order, and absolutely nothing is off the table in the name of aiding those two things.
** One scene makes it clear that she is. She hopes Heller stops Operation Firebreak before anyone "important" is harmed. Heller immediately replies "[[IllI'll Pretend I Didn't Hear That]]".
 
=== Colonel Douglas Rooks ===
Line 132:
** [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones]]
* [[Not So Different]]: He seems to realize this when he discovers Heller's daughter is still alive, realizing how he could use that against Heller and to his own advantage.
* {{spoiler|[[Pragmatic Villainy]]: Sort of. [[Et Tu, Brute?|Kills his own men]] in order to let Heller escape NYZ with his daughter because it just wasn't worth the effort to kill him when he didn't care about fighting for anything but her.}}
 
=== Lieutenant Clint Riley ===
