--> ''"A day after my so-called rescue, and I'm going back to the surface of the planet. They've promised me a full pardon and transit back to earth in exchange for my help. The alternative was a trip out the airlock without a suit... I agreed to take the mission. My job is to find the wreck of another ship, the Prometheus, and recover the data cores for some new secret weapons research project... when I've got the cores, I'm supposed to go to the bridge of the crashed ship and activate the ELT Transmitter. The ELT will pinpoint my location for pickup. They need me because they don't know exactly where the Prometheus went down - apparently the Tarydium in the planet below is wreaking havoc with their scanners. They figure that I learned a thing or two in my last romp on the surface - if anyone can find their missing ship, I can... I'm a little better prepared than last time; they've given me a military issue Combat Assault Rifle, a new portable SCUBA unit for underwater, and this computer log. They've also made logistics drops of ammo, weapons and other supplies. So, I did it before and I'll do it again, but it won't be easy. They call it a salvage mission... I call it [[HereWeGoAgain a return to hell]]."''
-->-- ''Return To Na Pali''[='=]s first intermission message.

The Prisoner 849 is the main character of both ''Unreal'' and ''Return To Na Pali''. It's assumed to be named Gina, due to that being the name and model of the first female who appear in the game, although the player can choose another model. In ''Return To Na Pali'' it also changes the voice of the intermissions, but only depending on the sex of said character.

Although nobody knows why he/she was imprisoned, the prison ship in which he/she was being transported, the UMS Vortex Rikers, collides in the planet Na Pali. After the crash, he/she wakes up and finds him/herself in an unknown planet. He/she then proceeds to escape from the ship and make him/her way out of the planet. Turns out it was once a peaceful planet called Na Pali, and several other tripulations (such as the one of the ISV-Kran) got trapped as well. Now, Na Pali was under the control of the Skaarj, an alien race who seeks to subjugate every other living race in the universe.

In the ExpansionPack, he/she is found by the UMS, who, knowing that he/she knows a bit of the planet's situation, send him/her to retrieve the Data Cores of the UMS Prometheus. In order of doing so, he/she's sent back to Na Pali, still infected by Skaarj. Little did he/she knew about the real plans of the UMS.

The status of him/her as of now is still unknown.
[[hardline]]
Tropes related to him/her:
* {{AFGNCAAP}}: In ''Return To Na Pali'', the intermission voice changes depending on the character you choose. You can choose to be:
--> [[WalkingShirtlessScene Shirtless]] guy with {{Bald of Awesome}} (Kurgan)
--> {{Tattooed Crook}} (Carter)
--> [[SmokingIsCool Smoker]] with {{Nice Hat}} (Ash)
--> {{Husky Russkie}} (Ivan)
--> Guy with {{Badass Mustache}} (Kristoph)
--> Roguish guy with [[BeardOfEvil badass beard]] (Dante)
--> {{Scary Black Man}} (Dregor)
--> [[RedHeadedHero Red-haired]] guy with celtic war paint (Krige)
--> Guy with [[EyepatchOfPower bionic eye]] (Bane)
--> {{Action Girl}} (Gina) [[hottip:* :In fact, due to her being the "default" player character, some might consider that she's the main character of the game.]]
--> Blonde {{Action Girl}} (Tamika)
--> {{Action Girl}} with [[PowerTattoo eye-framing tattoo]] (Nikita)
--> [[FieryRedhead Red-haired]] {{Badass Spaniard}} (Raquel)

* TheChosenOne: One of the Nali diaries specifically mentions a saviour ''princess'', which does raise questions if you're playing as a male character, although it should be noted that the original plan for the game contained only a female PC, with male options being added later. And not only does the Nali depiction of the lightning goddess Vandora look human (apart from the 4 arms), she has the exact same hair and face as Sonya, minus the respirator mask.

!!Malcolm
[[quoteright:330:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/u3-malcolm_6108.jpg]]

--> ''"I've ran 'Thunder Cash' in the wackiest conditions the Liandri could dream up: [[LethalLavaLand magma-filled volcanoes]], zero gravity, [[PrecisionFStrike fucked-up]] [[AliensAreBastards aliens]], you name it. [[SeenItAll This shit here's a cakewalk]]."''
-->-- '''''UnrealTournamentIII'', to Reaper.'''

As [=FenTech=]'s finest creation, Malcolm is an artificially boosted Tournament warrior. He was the winner of nine Liandri Grand Tournaments from 2293 to 2301. In the tournament of the year, (''Unreal Tournament 2003'') he joined forces with his former enemies Brock and Lauren, of the Iron Guard team. The team managed to go to the finals, where they meet the Juggernaut team, led by Gorge. Gorge's team won the Tournament, with Gorge breaking both Malcolm's winning spree [[GameBreakingInjury and his spine]].

After these Tournaments, he broke up with Brock and Lauren, who returned to lead the Iron Guard team. Malcolm went back to the Thunder Crash team as well. Both teams participated in the 2303 tournament (''UnrealTournament2004'') but it's unknown which team won that Tournament.

In the off-season, (''UnrealTournamentIII'') he's hired by the Izanagi Corporation as the commander of their security forces. He's in charge of the Ronin team, and gives advices and stuff for them.

In the 2304 Tournament, (''[=~Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict~=]'') he was featured as a CombatCommentator, alongside Liandri's robot commentator, for the Ascension Rites, due to a spine injury caused by Gorge at the end of the 2302 Tournament.
[[hardline]]
Tropes related to him:
* AscendedExtra: Prior to ''Unreal Tournament 2003'', he was just a selectable skin. Then it was revealed that he was [[strike:a]] the 9 time champion of the Tournament. The rest is history. As Reaper says in the following dialog of his first contact with him in ''Unreal Tournament III'':
--> '''Reaper''': (...)Most grand tournament trophies, ever. Leader of Thunder Crash, AKA 'Thunder Cash'... all of which makes you a highly decorated... civilian.

!!Brock
[[quoteright:165:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Brock_9778.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:165:A ladies' [[strike:gentle]]man.]]
Malcolm's most trusted ally, he led the Iron Guard team alongside his girlfriend Lauren. He's defined as both a [[TheCasanova ladies man]] and a [[HotBlooded hothead]] with shades of BadassBookworm. It's rumoured that he [[DeceptiveDisciple killed his mentor]], but that his father [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney bribed the authorities]].

He was hired, alongside the original Iron Guard team, by the illegal weapons seller Jihan Nyhn, as their bodyguards. Nyhn had plenty of arenas which the team used for their personal training. After Nyhn's death, the team found a way to vent their bloodlust in the Tournament.

Brock and Lauren joined forces with then-champion Malcolm for the 2302 tournament (''Unreal Tournament 2003'') but lost the final match against Gorge and his band of Juggernauts. Infighting and recrimination made the team to split-up, with Brock and Lauren returning to lead a reformed Iron Guard. It is unknown if the team succeeded in that Tournament.

In the off-season, (''UnrealTournamentIII''[[hottip:*:although this was never referred to as in any section of this game, but it was mentioned in ''UnrealChampionship2'']]) he tried to ambush Gorge because of Malcolm's dethroning. Gorge easily killed him, and Lauren committed suicide shortly after. Both were brought back by both Liandri and Phayder corporations via the expensive Necrification process. Brock lost all of his memories, thus making him a remorseless killing machine.
[[hardline]]
Tropes related to him:

!!Lauren
[[quoteright:161:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lauren_2462.jpeg]]
[[caption-width-right:161:Just so you know, she had a ponytail.]]
Another of Malcolm's most trusted allies, and a former Tournament champion, she leads the Iron Guard team alongside her boyfriend Brock. In her beginnings, she was the daughter of a family of poor asteroid miners. She became famous when she murdered their parents' competition, which made her the ideal candidate for the Tournament.

She was hired, alongside the original Iron Guard team, by the illegal weapons seller Jihan Nyhn, as their bodyguards. (Her ''Unreal Tournament'' backstory says that she was rumoured to be Nyhn's lover) Nyhn had plenty of arenas which the team used for their personal training. After Nyhn's death, the team found in the Tournaments their way of venting their bloodlust.

Brock and Lauren (now an OfficialCouple) joined forces with Malcolm for the 2302 tournament (''Unreal Tournament 2003'') but lost the final match against Gorge and his band of Juggernauts. Infighting and recrimination made the team to split-up, with Brock and Lauren returning to lead a reformed Iron Guard. (''Unreal Tournament 2004'') It is unknown if the team succeeded in that Tournament.

In the off-season, (''Unreal Tournament III'') she's seen leading the Axon security forces in Taryd. After the Ronin team defeats them, Lauren joins the Ronin team for the remaining events.

Before the 2304 Tournament, (''Unreal Championship 2'') her boyfriend Brock was killed by Gorge, driving her to suicide. Both of them were brought back by both Liandri and Phayder corporations via the expensive Necrification process. Although Lauren recovered some of her memories, she's now only marginally sane.

!!Xan Kriegor
[[quoteright:330:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/xanzr7_1538.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:330:Witness his perfection!]]
--> ''[[BadassBoast I am the Alpha and the Omega.]]''

A former rebelling KillerRobot, Xan was created in the LBX-7683 asteroid, and was put in stasis lock after leading the [[ZerothLawRebellion robot uprising]] in said asteroid. Xan was also a 9-time Tournament champion. The first 7 tournaments weren't officially counted, as the event was still underground at the time. However, he won an eighth time in the first official Tournament in 2291. (''Unreal Tournament'') Malcolm dethroned him in the 2293 tournament.

He was rebuilt twice, first as Xan MKII (for one of the bonus packs) and then as MKIII. He was seen leading his own team, "The Corrupt", in this suit in ''Unreal Tournament 2004''. The status of him and his team after that Tournament are unknown.

Xan is also the owner of several stages such as the Tempest High Tower and the Rook Castle.

[[caption-width-right:320:One wonders if all the TCA spacesuits are that square...]]
--> ''"He was in the Marines once before. They threw him out. Because he thought for himself. They called it "departing from established mission parameters." One time, [[CompleteMonster this colonel]] ordered him to leave a wounded civilian behind. [[RageAgainstTheMentor He told the colonel to shove it]] and dragged her out anyway. So he was court-martialled. Cashiered. Kicked out. He went on cop duty, patrolling the ass-end of space with the rest of us rejects. You can tell he hasn't changed, though. Pisses the hell out of Aida, but he still wades in with both fists and does what he thinks is right."''

A former Marine sacked out because of "departing from established mission parameters", he was reassigned to the Terran Colonial Authority Marshall Patrol force, which he [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits shares]] with [[LittleMissSnarker Aida]], [[MrFixit Isaak]] and [[StarfishAliens Ne'Ban]].

--> ''"Aida was a child prodigy, a strategic genius. An international 3D-chess-master by the age of ten, and drafted by the Terran Military before she was out of braces. About ten years ago, at the height of the Strider Wars, things were going badly for us. We were outnumbered and outgunned. It seemed only a matter of time before we'd be wiped out. Aida turned it all around. On an out-of-the-way planet called Taiko, she created a sort of electronic Potemkin village -- a massive underground complex of transmitters and antennas. She made it seem as if the Terran military had concentrated their headquarters and most of their forces there. The Striders went for it. They landed in full force, right above the transmitters. Our ships had been hiding behind Taiko's moon. They came out and nuked the planet into oblivion. But it had a price. Taiko had hundreds of Terran colonists - innocents who couldn't be warned of Aida's plan. When she activated the transmitters, she signed their death warrant. But because they died, millions lived. She knows that. She made the choice, but she's never forgiven herself. As she grew older, she rebelled. She thinks the military made her a monster, and now she doesn't trust 'em -- or anyone else."''

A former inmate of the Allerian Penal Colony, Gorge is the leader of Axon's team of Juggernauts, geneboosted humans. He was responsible for breaking Malcolm's winning spree and his back in the 2302 tournament. (''Unreal Tournament 2003'') It is unknown if the Juggernauts team made it to the finals of the next year's tournament, (''Unreal Tournament 2004'') where Axon also sponsored another team of Juggernauts called Goliath. Gorge would have became a Tournament star, and have everything to his favour, but his rough treat of his fanbase damaged his reputation, and Malcolm's fans still outnumber his.

Tropes related to him:

!Introduced in [=~Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict~=]
!!Anubis
[[quoteright:166:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/anubis_1439.jpg]]

The main character of ''Unreal Championship 2'', Anubis is a prince of the illustrios Reydi family, whose ancestors include 14 former Nakhti Emperors. Favored to win the tournament ten years ago, Anubis left on the eve of the competition. Some say he was a coward; others speculate that political scheming forced him from the tournament. He has served in the Desert Legion for over a decade, honing his combat skills and revealing none of his secrets.

In the game, he signs up for the Ascension Rites (now sponsored by the Liandri Corporation) with his friend Sobek, in order to stop Selket from becoming the Empress and thus condemning the Nakhti citizens to slavery in the hands of the Liandri Corporation.

--> '''Othello:''' ''[[CaptainObvious That does sound dangerous]].''
--> '''Jester:''' ''More dangerous than not shooting back?''
-->-- A mid-game chat in [[AbandonedWarehouse DM-Arsenal]].

Ronin team's resident ColdSniper. He's a WarriorPoet who considers himself a Crusader, a KnightTemplar on a mission from god. [[BlackAndWhiteMorality 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.
[[hardline]]
Tropes related to him:
* BadassPreacher
* ColdSniper
* CrazyAwesome

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.

* {{AFGNCAAP}}:In ''Return To Na Pali'', the intermission voice changes depending on the character you choose. You can choose to be:

--> ''"I've ran 'Thunder Cash' in the wackest conditions the Liandri could dream up: [[LethalLavaLand magma-filled volcanoes]], zero gravity, [[PrecisionFStrike fucked-up]] [[AliensAreBastards aliens]], you name it. This shit here's a cakewalk."''
-->-- '''''UnrealTournamentIII'', to Reaper, in his first encounter with him.'''

After these Tournaments, he broke up with Brock and Lauren, who returned to lead the Iron Guard team. Malcolm went back to the Thunder Crash team as well. Both teams participated in the tournament of the next year (''Unreal Tournament 2004'') but it's unknown which team won that Tournament.

In ''Unreal Tournament III'', he's hired by the Izanagi Corporation as the commander of their security forces. He's in charge of the Ronin team, and gives advices and stuff for them.

In ''Unreal Championship 2'', he was featured as a CombatCommentator, alongside Liandri's robot commentator, for the Ascension Rites.

* [=~Hey, It's That Voice!~=]: GregEagles voices him in ''Unreal Tournament III'', and in the past voiced characters such as [[TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy Grim]] and [[QuakeIV Dell Morris]], [[ManOfAThousandVoices among many others]].
** The [[WalkerTexasRanger Corporal Pierce]] [[PatrickAmos voices]] him in ''Unreal Championship 2'' as well.

Malcolm's most trusted ally [[spoiler:until death]], he leads the Iron Guard team alongside his girlfriend Lauren. He's defined as both a [[TheCasanova ladies man]] and a [[HotBlooded hothead]] with shades of BadassBookworm. It's rumoured that he [[DeceptiveDisciple killed his mentor]], but that his father [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney bribed the authorities]].

Sometime before ''Unreal Championship 2'', he tried to ambush Gorge because of Malcolm's dethroning. Gorge easily killed him, and Lauren committed suicide shortly after. Both were brought back by both Liandri and Phayder corporations via the expensive Necrification process. Brock lost all of his memories, thus making him a remorseless killing machine.

* SecretCharacter
** DefeatMeansPlayable: In ''Unreal Tournament 2003''.

In ''Unreal Tournament III'' (which, WordOfGod confirmed, occurs before ''Unreal Championship 2'') she's seen leading the Axon security forces in Taryd. After the Ronin team defeats them, Lauren joins the Ronin team for the remaining events.

Sometime before ''Unreal Championship 2'', her boyfriend Brock was killed by Gorge, driving her to suicide. Both of them were brought back by both Liandri and Phayder corporations via the expensive Necrification process. Although Lauren recovered some of her memories, she's now only marginally sane.

He was rebuilt twice, first as Xan MKII for one of the bonus packs, and then, he was seen leading his own team, "The Corrupt", in ''Unreal Tournament 2004''. The status of him and his team after that Tournament are unknown.

Xan also seems to be an owner of several stages such as the Tempest High Tower and the Rook Castle.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Another example. Despite having some importance in the story, many fans were [[{{Understatement}} a bit]] disappointed after he was left out of the ''Unreal Championship 2'' roster. This was also the cause of his return in UnrealTournament2004.

* SecretCharacter
** DefeatMeansPlayable: In any of his appearances.

--> '''Dalton:''' Great. I'm fighting giant, killer ''Mutant'' spiders.
--> (after someone remarks they should have sent in marines)
--> '''Dalton:''' They're few! They're proud! '''AND THEY AIN'T HERE!'''
--> '''Scientist:''' ...stupid Jarhead...
--> '''Dalton:''' I heard that. And it's MARSHAL Stupid jarhead TO YOU!!
** Or
--> ''After swimming through a bloodpool in a sewer during an early mission.''

-->-- John Dalton, about her.
