History Characters / NintendoWars

* ExcellentJudgeOfCharacter: Probably his most dangerous personal quality. He is not afraid to put himself in front of people who can have him shot and killed because he has an easy time figuring out what people want and promising it to them. He uses this to [[spoiler:cause dissension in the ranks of the heroes by setting up an ethical dilemma under false pretenses, since he knows Will would never turn in Isabella and Lin would follow Will to the meeting point; he has Tabitha ready to stop attempts on his life and set up the dilemma under false pretenses, since he was going to carpet bomb the heroes whether or not they gave Isabella back.]] There are several instances where his ability to read people leads to others readying themselves to kill him only to be left slavishly devoted to his every word.

!Super Famicom Wars Commanding Officers

* BigGood: Is the overarching protagonist of the franchise due to not only founding Red Star, but also having created the original Famicom Wars as a training program.

* EarlyInstalmentWeirdness: In later games, his faction would become an analogue to Japan, while his main foe’s faction would take inspiration from Germany instead.

* GenerationXerox: She bears a striking resemblence to her eldest daughter, Nell.

The child of a very rich billionare, Billy is the second of the Super [=COs=]. He bears a striking resemblence to Colin and is just as able to bend the tides with an immense wave of funds.

* TheDragon: In the first game, he's one to Sturm.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: A deconstruction of the trope. As he himself notes, greed, wrath, envy, and other classical villainous vices hold no actual appeal to him; all he really wants is the opportunity to do his research freely. The issue with that is that he has no ''filter'' or ''limit'' to what he researchs and how he applies his research. He'll start conflicts simply on the basis of setting up ethical dilemmas for people because he wants to see how people respond when their backs are up against the wall, he'll hand out weapons of mass destruction simply to see how powerful they are, and most egregiously, [[BecauseImGoodAtIt he'll try to perfect the most deadly virus around because he can.]] Add to this the fact he sees human life as completely rote and just something else to experiment with and his [[spoiler:focus on immortality through cloning]] and you get a man who isn't ''evil'' in the traditional sense but is still a monster that needs to be put down for the sake of world peace.

* CombatMedic: Caulder's CO-Zone grants every single unit 60% more attack and defence on top of healing 5 HP at the start of his turn. This is the reason why is he such a GameBreaker, he is the only one who has a CO-Zone that can heal units without needing a CO Power.

** Or an Infantry. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiclqIOlhVo WATCH!]]

* AnimalMotif: Snakes. Sometimes, he even hisses like a snake. And his idle animation in Reboot Camp even evokes the stereotypical sway of a snake that is raised up.

* AnimalMotif: Snakes. Sometimes, he even hisses like a snake.

* KnightOfCerebus: Despite his comedic traits, the game does get much more serious the more involved he becomes. Notably, he's the only character who doesn't appear in the (hint-providing) War Room.

* {{Bishonen}}: More in his official art, but Jake's on the slender and pretty side.

* {{Bishonen}}: He's got a standard pretty facial design.

* {{Bishonen}}: His face is very feminine and on the pretty side.

* {{Bishonen}}: Another guy who's on the slender, pretty side.

* CripplingOverspecialization: Most of his boosts are only useful for naval units or aircraft, rendering him one of the less effective [=COs=].
** He is, however, so powerful on naval maps that [[invoked]][[PopularGameVariant most players will house rule a ban on selecting him]] to prevent such maps from turning into [[MirrorMatch "everyone picks Greyfield"]] affairs.

* ShipTease: With Sasha and Rachel, though the latter gets [[ShipSinking sunk]] in the final mission if they are the [=COs=] selected.

* {{Expy}}: Just as Sturm resembles [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]] with a nice hat, Von Bolt resembles Emperor Palpatine with additional headgear. In terms of his gameplay, he's also generally seen as a somewhat balanced version of Sturm.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: In the Re-Boot Camp remake, his eyes turn red when he activates his power, as seen in the preview shown as part of the February 9th Nintendo Direct. He's also a dangerous CO who also wants to [[TakeOverTheWorld conquer the Wars World]].

* ShoutOut: He's named after UsefulNotes/BillGates.

* JustFollowingOrders:

* DarkChick: A gender-flipped variant of this trope. He's very narcissistic and prone to underhanded tactics.

* DarkChick: In the third game she's more or less the resident PerkyFemaleMinion of Black Hole.
