History Characters / DeadSpace2

* ShutUpHannibal: One of the audio logs near the end of Dead Space 2 details Tiedemann telling a man loyal to the Overseer to pretty much suck an egg after they chew him out on his decision to evacuate both his civilians and subordinates from the station in the wake of the outbreak.

-->'''Isaac:''' [[spoiler: You're a Unitologist? Of ''course'' you are. Why did I trust you?!]]

* ThemeNaming: Another character named after a famous Golden Age sci-fi author: Ursula K. LeGuin.

* EvilLaugh: During it's MookDebutCutscene, when Isaac sees a mother being fooled by a Crawler, if you listen carefully, you can actually hear it laughing just before it detonates and kills her.

* RaptorAttack: They're not technically raptors, but they look and act so much like them that it's fair enough to make the comparison.

* Foil: To the Guardian. Guardians are seemingly all male, are always found indoors, and regularly summon Pods to defend themselves, alongside unleashing a lightning fast tentacle to decapitate Isaac if he gets too close. Nests are all female, are only encountered in vacuum or low gravity environments, and just fling projectiles at Isaac with their three arms.

* KingMook: It's body structure resembles that of an exaggerated, stronger Brute made of extra corpses that's had more time in the proverbial oven than it's smaller brethren.
* NonIndicativeName: With a name like 'Tormentor", you'd think it would persistently chases Isaac throughout the Sprawl. [[OneSceneWonder Nope.]]

* PsychicAssistedSuicide: Isaac's fate if he's not able to destroy the Golden Marker.

* BeastWithAHumanFace: As is befitting an undead, eldritch monster created from merged human corpses, the Tormentor wears the face of one of the fusees as its own. It's surprisingly intact too, with all the features barring [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily the mouth]] remaining almost completely untouched in contrast to the rest of its warped and twisted body.

* BeastWithAHumanFace: As is befitting an undead, eldritch monster created from merged human corpses, the Tormentor wears the face of one of its fusees as its own. It's surprisingly intact too, with all the features barring [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmundFamily the mouth]] remaining almost completely untouched in contrast to the rest of its warped and twisted body.

* BishonenLine: Unlike other Necromorph, the Ubermorph looks like a completely natural life-form rather than a horribly mutilated and deformed human, and is one of the strongest individuals that Isaac encounters.

* ImplacableMan: Like the Hunter before it, the Ubermorph cannot be killed conventionally, as it will simply regenerate and resume the chase, incentizing the player to flee from encounters. The only way to stop it outside of exploiting glitches is by locking the creature in a room just outside of the chamber holding the Marker, where it presumably stays until Isaac destroys said Marker and liquifies
the beast and/or is blown to kingdom come along with the station.

* ImplacableMan: Like the Hunter before it, the Ubermorph cannot be killed conventionally, as it will simply regenerate and resume the chase, incentizing the player to flee from encounters.

* PaletteSwap: It is literally the Hunter with a different [[IncrediblyLamePun skin]]. It even shares the death animation with the Hunter.
* SuperPersistentPredator: This thing pursues Isaac relentlessly throughout Chapter 14 and for part of 15, and appears quite frequently for that time frame.

* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: Unlike the Hunter, there is no information regarding the Ubermorph's origin. It is possible that it is an immature Hive Mind due to its resemblance to the creature

* BenevolentBoss: Is just as considerate of the lives of his employees as he is of the civilians on his station. As disclosed in a log near the end of the game, when the Necromorphs finally breached the sector to get to the Marker, he orders his surviving subordinates to evacuate as well when it's become clear that there's no stopping the infected.

* ShutUpHannibal: One of the audio logs near the end of Dead Space 2 details him telling the Overseer to pretty much suck an egg after they chew out Tiedemann on his evacuating both his civilians and subordinates from the station in the wake of the outbreak.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Despite the orders of the Overseer prohibiting an evacuation in the event of an outbreak, Tiedemann proceeds to follow through with ordering one anyway, giving the Overseer himself a severe verbal lashing and challenging the man to settle the matter in court should both survive to see it. Judging from the amount of spacecraft that can be seen successfully escaping the station in Chapter 2 as well as Fattouh's audio log disclosing a secondary evacuation of the Government Sector's personnel, it can be safely said that his decision to go against his superior saved many lives that day.

* YourHeartsDesire: Much of its ''modus operandi'', as with all Markers. It manipulates many of the people it comes across into doing what it wants by offering them whatever they wish. Unfortunately for those who bargain with it, much of its offers are falsehoods and the wishes it ''can'' grant are either granted in the most horrific manner imaginable or come with a great many strings attached.

** Courage: After the second evacuation mentioned above, he managed to fight his way to the Marker, alone and critically injured himself, to stop Clarke from completing the Convergence Event taking place.

* EvilVirtues: Tiedemann is a well-versed practitioner of at least two: ** Responsibility: When he loses control of the Marker, he evacuates the Public Sector when the undead begin assaulting the residential and medical areas to save as many people as he can from the horrors he indirectly brought to them. He would do this again when the Government Sector itself was attacked and overrun shortly afterwards, ordering the remainder of his men and research staff to flee the Station before they too were killed, while staying behind himself to try and fix his mess.

* VillainousValor: While it's undeniable that he's at least partially responsible for Titan Station turning into a necropolis, his personal courage and sheer selflessness is nothing short of extremely commendable. When the Marker first starts his assault on the station, he starts evacuation efforts to save as many civilians as he can when it becomes obvious that the undead plague is spreading too fast to be stopped, then stages a second evacuation to save the lives of his remaining subordinates after Isaac unleashes a gargantuan horde of undead into the Government Sector, while staying behind himself in an effort to ensure Isaac does not reach the Marker.
