History Characters / TheSecretWorldOtherFactions

* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler: At the end of the Solomon Island Arc, she not only steals Excalibur from Beaumont, she literally kicks him in the face before leaving for dead. Nasty and definitely gratuitous, but nobody's denying that the bastard had it coming.]]

* BareYourMidriff: Commonly seen wearing a midriff-exposing top.

* BareYourMidriff: Amparo's top leaves a good deal of midriff exposed, naturally offsetting her long coat.

* SexyWalk: Makes good use of this throughout her time on-screen.

* HandCannon: Her WeaponOfChoice, a Desert Eagle. Sadly, not enough to change Said's mind.

* MacheteMayhem: Her WeaponOfChoice is the machete. As seen in her character model, she has two strapped to her back for DualWielding or [[ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks throwing]].

* KnifeNut: Adrian has a thing for knives and razors, often making good use of them while threatening Rada; Alina indicates that he also likes carving his initials into his victims - and believes that she'll end up being subjected to this treatment if he ever finds her.

* NiceHat: Instantly distinguished by her white ushanka. It's so distinctive that when she has to abandon it in the warmer climate of Venice, the game reintroduces her with a dramatic zoom-in and a flashback to her previous look.

* NiceHat: Another part of the official uniform of the Council soldier - a striking blue beret.

* [[LikeASonToMe Like A Daughter To Me]]: Having already accepted Sarah as his student and protégé, he openly admits to seeing her as the daughter he never had in the outro to "Venice Sinking"; it's her disappearance that results in Arturo crossing the DespairEventHorizon.

* RantInducingSlight: When you first meet him in Issue #8, Arturo has had to deal with a growing workload, the Tokyo Crisis, and a good deal of political hell-raising. [[spoiler: Of course, he's under even more stress than he lets on: later issues reveal that he's under pressure from the Phoenicians to keep you out of Tokyo, with blackmail on the line if he fails.]] He's also grieving for Sarah - who's presumed dead at this point. But in spite of all this, he appears to be taking things in stride, shouldering the burden with professional efficiency and well-refined etiquette... right up until he receives a rather unfortunate phone call, in which one of his contacts innocently suggests resorting to a compromise. Cue temper explosion.
--> Compromise? COMPROMISE!? Cazzo! Che cazzo! Do not tell me compromise! Tell it to the dead! Do you remember the last time? The bodies? The ones still... ''alive.'' The singing... oh, that terrible singing... A committee? "Evaluate the situation?" By the time we agree on a special committee, they will be dead - ''again!'' Your committee can dig a mass grave and throw in all of their bones, and do you know what the tombstone will say? "Killed by compromise!"

* NotSoDifferent: A noted critic of the feuds between the secret societies, Amparo attempts to dissuade players from buying into the enmity by pointing out just how similar the factions are.

* [[spoiler: FaceDeathWithDignity]]: [[spoiler: Having realized that she's the latest target of the White Rabbit's killing spree, Naonomi has had time to come to terms with her impending death and refuses to panic as it draws closer; instead, she simply sits down, finishes her glass of wine, and waits for the end.]]

* [[spoiler: FamousLastWords]]: [[spoiler: "You should leave now: Orochi vengeance is coming, and it is wearing bunny ears. Go."]]

* [[ManipulativeBastard Manipulative Bitch]]: Naonomi has a particular gift for emotional manipulation, hence the reason why the FNF leadership employed her to mould socially-awkward recruits into loyal operatives of the cult. To put her abilities in this field into perspective, her most prominent victims still care a great deal about her, even after it's become apparent that their relationship with her was a lie: [[spoiler: Yuichi actually asks if you can make sure she's alive and safe, while John assures her that the mission she selected him for is almost complete.]]
* [[spoiler: SeekingTheMissingFindingTheDead]]: [[spoiler: Zig-zagged. Naonomi is still alive when you finally meet her; however, it's made abundantly clear that her time's running out thanks to the Rabbit Killer's ongoing contract against the FNF, and true to form, the assassin arrives in the safehouse almost as soon as you turn to leave.]]
* [[spoiler:SoundOnlyDeath]]: [[spoiler: During her assassination, Naonomi is sitting just around the corner from the hallway the player character is wandering down; as a result, when the Rabbit Killer opens fire, we only see her pointing her gun around the corner and firing two silenced shots, Naonomi's death punctuated by the sound of her wineglass shattering.]]

* [[TurnOutLikeHisFather Turn Out Like Her Father]]: According to the Morninglight profile accessed in "Obstructive Persons," this is Naonomi's worst nightmare, which might explain why she went so far as to join a cult in her attempts to rebel against Masao.

** DragonWithAnAgenda: [[spoiler: After communing with the Dreamers, Marquard continued posing as Lilith's puppet for a while so he could go on siphoning resources from the Orochi Group, up until...]]
** TheStarscream: [[spoiler: ...He tried to have Lilith assassinated and then seized control of the Morninglight in the name of the Dreamers.]]

* GoodScarsEvilScars: Sports a long scar running diagonally through her left eye. While off-duty in Venice, she apparently covers it with a large pair of sunglasses.

* LastOfHisKind: Claims that his people are long-extinct. [[spoiler: Said people being the Norse Gods. He's not all that broken up about it, given that they exiled him in the first place.]]

* MultipleChoicePast: When a drugged Che Hannson is interrogated by the Morninglight over Beaumont's apparent agelessness he gives a different answer each time, from a being [[PhysicalGod god]] to drinking from the FountainOfYouth.

* WorldOfCardboardSpeech: Beaumont provides a rare villainous example during the confrontation in the archives, observing that he's finally done keeping secrets and ready to cut loose after centuries spent in exile.

* ChurchOfHappyology: The Morninglight qualify in just about every respect. Among other things, they're supposedly a self-help group, but behind the scenes they're actually a fanatical religious movement; their tenets are based on a scam [[spoiler: or hey were up until the Dreamers took over the cult]]; they worship their leader as a messiah; they're notoriously protective of their public image; and last but not least, they take a very dim view of defectors.

* TheTrickster: Claims that ''sagas'' have been written about his long cons. [[spoiler:This boast is [[Myth/NorseMythology absolutely true.]] ]]

-->'''Cassie:''' ... I might be... flexible. Very, ''very''... flexible.
-->'''Che:''' She's talkin' about sexual positions. That's what that little pause was; it's her idea of subtlety.
-->'''Cassie:''' Fuck. Off.

* CainAndAbel: [[spoiler: As has been mentioned under the Templar entry, the founders of the Phoenicians and the Templars were actually brothers; in spite of their familial bond, the two of them ultimately suffered a disastrous falling-out - apparently over a woman - though who the woman in question was remains a mystery.]]
* CityOnTheWater: New Carthage, their great flotilla-turned-metropolis. Nothing has been seen of it so far by the player, though precious few outside the faction have seen it either due to the Phoenicians' security measures.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Her attempt to force Said into complying with the Phoenicians' contract, apparently limited to putting a gun to the immortal mummy's head and hoping for the best. It's clear that she's acting out of sheer desperation, as is demonstrated by the frantic stream of offers she makes immediately afterward, but it's still ''really'' stupid... [[spoiler: especially considering that she's working with Berihun, who managed a much more successful attempt at threatening Said.]]

-->See [[spoiler: Kaoru]]

* BadDreams: According to her dialogue tree, Rada suffers from periodic nightmares of being adrift in a cold and dark ocean, slowly sinking beneath the waves and being dimly aware of ''something'' waiting in the darkness below her.

* VillainTeamUp[=/=]EnemyCivilWar: Until recently, Adrian and the other cultists stationed in Transylvania were counted as Mara's allies, planting them firmly under the vampire army's protection. However, by the time the player arrives in the Carpathian Mountains, the alliance has broken down and the vampires have started preying on the cabins they once protected.

* BiTheWay: She'll hit on you regardless of whether your player character is male or female.

* WomanInWhite: Dresses all in stark white snow gear. Sadly, she has to abandon this outfit in Venice and replace it with the traditional Phoenician uniform.

* ManInWhite[=/=]WomanInWhite: Their soldiers all wear crisp white uniforms, and most of the Council's special operatives and officials wear white clothes of varying formality.
