Tropes related to them:
- Badass Creed:Reaper: "Twin Souls: Strength of the Fist!"
Born into a hardworking mining family in the Twin Souls clan. Four years ago, his sister Jester joined the security forces charged with protecting the clan. After a skirmish left her injured, Reaper left the mines and joined the forces in order to watch for her safety. He lost everything on Twin Souls, and will not rest until he sees the total annihilation of those responsible.
- Calling the Old Man Out: Several times, against Malcolm.
- Aftermath to the Necris' invasion:
Reaper: This isn't war - this is slaughter. You call this calculated losses? Collateral damage?
Malcolm: We didn't think they'd came this fast... attack every front...
Reaper: You wanted them to break the rules, start an open war... Take a look, you got your wish!
Malcolm: They came too fast... we didn't provoke this... they must have been preparing for years...
Reaper: Yeah, you blew it. But this was coming no matter what we did... Only one thing to do now. Let's kick some Necris ass. - Expy: Of Marcus Fenix from Gears of War.
- Improbable Use of a Weapon: He uses his Rocket Launcher to stomp Akasha's head in the end of the game.
- Roaring Rampage of Revenge: What he seeks after his colony is overrun by the Krall.Malcolm: Listen. I heard what happened to your colony. I know you want blood. This job gets you there faster. Trust me.
- And then, against Malcolm.
"Only one person knew our plans. That makes you next... Malcolm."
Born into a hardworking mining family in the Twin Souls clan, she never showed much aptitude for mining; her capricious, happy-go-lucky attitude was not a fit for the dangerous, methodical lifestyle of a miner. Instead, she chose an even more dangerous route by joining the security forces charged with protecting the clan's interests at the colony and abroad. Once known for her lighthearted nature, Jester's entire world shifted when the Krall slaughtered her parents and friends. Her acrobatics in combat and carefree approach left her with the nickname "Jester".
- Died in Your Arms TonightReaper: Jester... My little Sarah... I'm so sorry.
- Warrior Therapist: To Reaper, in the first match:Reaper: Damn. Dying HURTS!
Jester: Try not to tense up.
Reaper: That sounds easy
"Need more bedrest?"
"Nice one, big brother!"
Born into a family of means, and never had to work to support himself. Instead, he challenged himself with the most deadly jobs and adrenaline-fueling adventures around the galaxy, which includes a participation in the Liandri Grand Tournament, and mercenary work in against-all-odds military conflicts. He became a drifter, floating from colony to colony, teeding his needs as a street brawler and soldier for hire. A series of unfortunate coincidences made him a first-hand witness to the Twin Souls Massacre.
- Actor Allusion: He's voiced by Terrence C. Carson, the voice of Kratos. Othello's real name and his facial markings being a reminiscence of Kratos's also reflects this.
- Blood Knight: He enjoys fighting.Othello: Hell yeah, this is my kind of fight!
Jester: The kind where we all die, Othello? - Challenge Seeker:"Othello was born into a family of means, and never had to work to support himself. Instead, he challenged himself with the most deadly jobs and in adrenaline-fueling adventures around the galaxy - climbing the ice floes of Mt. Karanish, participation in the Liandri Grand Tournament, even mercenary work in against-all-odds military conflicts."
- Early-Bird Cameo: His first appearance to the public took place at the Unreal Engine 3 demonstration back at the E3 2005.
Ronin team's resident Cold Sniper. He's a Warrior Poet who considers himself a Crusader, a Knight Templar on a mission from God. Those falling outside of his close circle of friends, or worse, those serving on an opposing force in a battle, are subject to his brand of divine justice. No church would ever sanction his methods. His tactics usually fall just within the limits of legality and wartime treaty convention, but they never fit well within a civilized society or regular army. Thus Bishop found himself on the fringes of known space, serving as a mercenary by day and an exceedingly unpopular army chaplain by night. He may be unstable, but his deep inner focus, intense personality, and steady aim make him a valuable asset.
- Cold Sniper"My deliverance shall be swift."
"Every sinner shows in my sights, eventually."
- Warrior Poet: He spouts Bible passages while killing people.
The Necris empire
As the High inquisitor of the Necris, Akasha rules with an Iron Fist, and orders with the Voice of the Prophet. She's the responsible of leading the Necris army to the planet Taryd. Reaper wants her head because the Necris used the Krall to overrun the Twin Souls colony.
- Authority Equals Asskicking: "The High Inquisitor of the Necris".
- Back from the Dead: She's a Necris, after all.
- Badass Boast:"I am High Inquisitor. You WILL obey."
"Take no pride in victory. Soon I will be invincible!"
"I am the death bringer."
"I shall burn the flesh from your soul." - Big Bad
- Create Your Own Hero: Led the invasion to Twin Souls. The resulting onslaught led to four of its inhabitants into becoming the Ronin team, and one of them eventually becoming her killer.
- Hive Queen: She's the leader and ruler of Omicron, the Necris' home planet. The final match is a one-on-one deathmatch against her.
- I Shall Taunt You:"You die quickly... like your family."
"There is no honor for you here."
"You've come so far, just to die alone."
- Voice of the Legion: She is said to speak with the voice of the Prophet.
