* RedBaron: Besides “Meltdown” (which is [[AxCrazy certainly fitting]]), she also calls herself “Hurricane Norma”, usually as a PreAssKickingOneLiner.

* FriendlySniper: Cheerful, outgoing and articulate. Also, has maxed-out Marksmanship and a history as an SAS sniper. She's one of the most stable possible teammates as well, only objecting to Tim "Numb" Sutton (mostly because he's just that good at pissing everyone off).

Added DiffLines:

* AxCrazy: While not as completely imbalanced as some other mercs, Leech still has the 'bloodthirsty' trait which means he'll ignore orders to do anything other than shoot, and he'll leave your team if he doesn't kill enough people. For being a former trap shooter, he made the switch to shooting people disturbingly well, and comments how hearing people scream as he shoots them is more fun.


Added DiffLines:

* IKnowMaddenKombat: Borderline. Leech is one of the most accurate snipers in [=AIM=], though instead of a professional soldier, his background was a world-class trapshooter. Explains why his physical stats are pretty average.

!! Alejandro "Smiley" Diaz
* AwesomeButImpractical: Recruiting him currently involves some very tough firefight with some high level enemies. There are apparently peaceful ways but they are currently bugged.
* {{Elopement}}: Double subversion in his case. [[spoiler: He ran away with Mollie after the Pantagruel Festival, Maman Liliane worried that he kidnapped her but Mollie actually came with him willingly. Of course he isn't aware that Mollie is a GoldDigger and gladly swapped him with Blaubert when she got the chance.]]
* FriendlySniper: He is always smiling when he isn't angry.



* TheFriendNobodyLikes: He is almost universally hated by Legion members outside of Ernie, and some are just too happy when they just got a chance to kill him, a hint that he isn't as bad as he appeared initially.





to:

\n* YouHaveFailedMe: He will be in the receiving end of one should you decide to spare him, he will end up a slave in a diamond mine and later a prisoner in a disciplinary camp. Still, those didn't break him and he still somehow managed to stay in fighting shape despite going through all of that.




Added DiffLines:

* CavalryBetrayal: [[spoiler: If you don't visit the refugee camp when Santiago calls you, he will instead come for you when you are close to defeating The Major. This was initially disguised as the rescue party as La Fontaine was surprised when the ones rescuing him are mercenaries and not soldiers.]]

to:

* BloodKnight: While not as crazy as some others, he loves a good fight and is actually happy when you get him to kill half of a village who just happen to be murderers.



* SirSwearsALot: He is a lot more foul-mouthed in 3.



* MotorMouth: She is unable to keep her mouth shut for long.
