History Characters / DeadSpace3

-->"Whatever they had been, they were men!"

* CowardlyBoss: In the first two encounters, [[spoiler:it retreats after enough damage has been done]].

* SuperPersistentPredator: It attacks Isaac shortly after he crashes on the planet and [[spoiler:continues to stalk him throughout most of the game. Even after he fights it off several times, it keeps hunting him.]]

* AllForNothing: Her entire quest to understand and use the Markers to save humanity ultimately (and unsurprisingly) ended up being doomed from the start. Alongside the given reports of suicides, random violence and Necromorph outbreaks both among their flotilla and from planetside outposts, Graves herself would ultimately lose her sanity to Marker Sickness and be reduced to an impotent prisoner in her own quarters. Eventually this would be capped off by the SCAF High Command [[KnowWhenToFoldThem finally deciding]] that the Markers were too dangerous to play around with, ''period'', and pulling the plug on their projects for good via [[LeaveNoWitnesses Scenario Five]], resulting in the deaths of the entire expedition.

* SoleSurvivor: Out of his entire engineering brigade, he was the only one who refused to eat the tainted flesh of the infected, and the only one who didn't degenerate into a savage, cannibalistic ghoul as a result.

* AxCrazy: [[spoiler: The S.C.A.F personnel foolish enough to eat the infected flesh of dead Necromorphs to stave off starvation ended up degenerating into deranged cannibals as the tainted meat gradually infected them from the inside out. Sam Ackerman had to run from his own comrades and trap them by disabling the elevator when they tried to kill and eat him.]] Fast forward 200 years later and it's a safe bet to say that there's nothing human about them mentally anymore.

* AxCrazy: [[spoiler: The S.C.A.F staff that were foolish enough to eat the infected flesh of dead Necromorphs to stave off starvation began to turn insane, violent and cannibalistic when the infection started to take them over. Sam Ackerman had to run from his own comrades and trap them by disabling the elevator when they tried to kill and eat him.]] Fast forward 200 years later and it's a safe bet to say that there's nothing human about them mentally anymore.

* ImAHumanitarian: Feeders are not very picky about who or what they start tucking into. As a bonus, they're usually created when the person in question infects themselves by eating meat, human or otherwise, that has been tainted by the Necromorph plague. A fate that would see a sizeable contingent of the S.C.A.F personnel planetside reduced to hordes of emaciated revenants, lurking in the darkness of facilities long abandoned.

* {{Yandere}}: Is willing to kill Isaac and sell out the whole universe [[spoiler:to keep Ellie for himself]].

->Played by: Robert Gant

* SenselessSacrifice: [[spoiler: If they'd gone down into the city and activated the machine, they could have destroyed the Brethren Moons forever. Instead, they wasted their lives by simply offing themselves and destroying the Codex instead, in a classic bout of LawfulStupid.]] This was mostly due, in no small part, to the many MANY Markers (and their creator) being in such close proximity. Giving everyone on the planet and in orbit a solid dosing of Marker signals, driving them insane.

* BadassArmy: Although not without taking significant losses in the process, and despite being populated for the most part with NewMeat, the fact that they were familiar with the infected to the point that they had managed to not only figure out and dedicate a portion of their combat manual to eliminating them, but openly research them to the point that they were tacking dead Necromorphs onto the walls and vivisecting them heavily hints, if not states outright that the S.C.A.F were fighting a fierce ground war with the undead for a fairly long time and holding their own well enough that they were still carrying out their archaeology operations as well, all while the [[UndeadAbomination Brethren Moon]] in orbit and the [[ArtifactOfDoom countless Markers]] in and around the planet played their usual trickery with them. Compared to [[ArmiesAreUseless how well the military fared in the last two outbreaks]], that’s no mean feat indeed.
* ImAHumanitarian: Low supplies and desperation led to some of the S.C.A.F trying to extend their resources by eating killed necromorphs. [[spoiler: Naturally, this backfired on them horribly, turning them into [[TechnicallyLivingZombie a new strain of necromorph]] nicknamed "Feeders".]]
* LeaveNoWitnesses: Part of the Liquidation order was to [[spoiler: exterminated ''anyone'' who might be able to pass on the infection, or even tell people where they could get infected]].

* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: Like all Unitologist villains in the series, he genuinely believes that "Convergence" will mean an end to all individual suffering and want. He's just stubbornly blinding himself to what Convergence actually means, both immediately and in the long run. Except he's even more fantatical about it and enjoys being important.

* FragileSpeedster: One or two rounds will take a standard Feeder down, but they close the gap between you and them fairly quickly, and attack in droves.

* MonstrousMandibles: Unhinge their jaw like a snake during their death scene when they're about to bite off Isacc/John's head.

* AllForNothing: Her entire quest to understand and use the Markers to save humanity ultimately (and unsurprisingly) ended up being doomed to failure. Alongside the given reports of suicides, random violence and Necromorph outbreaks both among their flotilla and from planetside outposts, Graves herself would ultimately lose her sanity to Marker Sickness and be reduced to an impotent prisoner in her own quarters. Eventually this would be capped off by the SCAF High Command [[KnowWhenToFoldThem finally deciding]] that the Markers were too dangerous, ''period'', and pulling the plug on their projects for good via [[LeaveNoWitnesses Scenario Five]].

* MeaningfulName: She lead the expedition to their graves.

* JerkassGods: The closest contender to an actual divine power seen in the Dead Space universe and, provided that it's not an embellishment fabricated by their Unitologist thralls, had a major hand to play in uplifting humanity into their current state. They're also a bunch of self-absorbed sadists who actively want to burn down the civilisations they helped foster, subjecting their populations to a hell without end as the Moons twist them, both in body and mind, into their broken undead slaves.

* UndeadAbomination: All Necromorphs are this to varying degrees, but these ones take the cake: Sapient undead planetoids made from the countless dead bodies of entire civilisations, they possess unimaginable psychic abilities, are so horrifically powerful that it took Isaac and Carver an honest to god miracle to kill just ''one'' incomplete one of them, and their presence alone can drive even the most impregnable of minds to madness.
