History Characters / ApexLegendsAssault

* NeverMessWithGranny: At 55, she dethrones Fuse as the oldest Legend in the game. She also has one of the most aggressive kits in the game.

* DifficultButAwesome: Contrary to [[SkillGateCharacter how it usually goes]] for the basic soldier-archetype in hero shooters, Bangalore is one of the trickier Legends to use effectively due to how her smokescreens can disorient her own team just as easily as the enemy if used inappropriately. More than any other Legend available at the start, Bangalore forces you to get creative with how to use her abilities if you want to consistently get the better of Legends who can't screw their own team over as easily as she can.

* AmbiguousSituation: Is Leigh merely a fragment of Ashleigh's personality, or is she Ashleigh in her entirety? Ash describes her as a remnant of Ashleigh similar to herself and Leigh doesn't use the name Ashleigh for herself, but Leigh only manifested when Ash's memories of her human life were recovered and she's usually represented via the human Ashleigh.

** Ash can be seen as one to Wraith. Both are blade-carrying, ex-IMC Pilot [[DarkActionGirl Dark Action Girls]] who were both ambitious scientists in their old lives before losing their memories. However, while Wraith's memory loss led to her CharacterDevelopment away from her immoral past self, Ash's Simulacrum conversion resulted in her empathy locked away into an entirely separate personality that she is actively suppressing. Also, they both have portal ultimates, but Wraith's Dimensional Rift has versatile uses for her whole team such as bringing downed allies out of the line of fire or allowing them to quickly tactically reposition themselves, while Ash's Phase Breach's instant placement and one-way nature makes it great for starting or leaving a fight and little else. They both also have fantastical versions of neurodivergency, but Ash wants to permanently silence her alternate personality; Wraith learned to trust in the disembodied voices she hears. The difference highlighted by their new Season 12 character select lines:

** Rounds out the robot trio by also being this to Pathfinder. Dispassionate IceQueen versus cheery [[ThePollyanna Pollyanna]]. A permanently-stoic porcelain mask said to "{{invoke|d}} ranges of emotional reaction", versus a computer screen that clearly expresses his emotions and cements him as a {{Cute Machine|s}}. A Titan Pilot, the setting's LivingLegend and one of the most dominant forces of the Frontier, versus a MRVN unit, the ButtMonkey of the setting and oftentimes treated as disposable. Sees the Legends as objects of her amusement at best and living training dummies at worst versus seeing them all as one big group of friends, including villainous characters. One of the original spearheads of the Branthium project that betrayed them, versus [[spoiler:the newest member that would ensure their efforts were not for nothing in the end]]. Gameplay wise, Ash's tactical snares enemies in opposition to Pathfinder's ability flinging him around; and her passive is a powerful informational tool that effectively allows her to roughly gauge enemy positions across the entire map with no practical way to avoid or counter it, while his toolset completely lacks any form of enemy scan despite his class (Recon) being distinguished for that ability.

!Kaleb Cross -- Revenant

-->''"Dying after death. Welcome to my life."''
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DarinDePaul (English), Mikhail Georgiou (Russian)

Kaleb Cross was the greatest hitman the Mercenary Syndicate ever had. And he continued to be that after he died, for the Syndicate used his mind to create their first Simulacrum, known as Revenant. Enslaved by his programming, the Syndicate gave him people, and those people would be taken out in due process. But after his assassination of Marcos Andrade, he finally saw a glitch: a shard of glass lethally impaled his neck, with no blood nor pain. This finally awoke his dormant memories, years of suffering, death, and rebirth rushing back all at once. He wanted revenge against the people that did this to him, but he was almost 300 years too late, so his revenge is now directed towards anyone working with Hammond Robotics, and -- after the Syndicate forcibly recruited him into the Apex Games -- the other Legends.
\\\
Revenant is a merciless hitman who specializes in sneaking up on unsuspecting foes and taking them down with ruthless efficiency. His tactical ability, ''[[PowerNullifier Silence]]'', fires a device that damages enemies and prevents them from using their abilities, whether it strikes them directly or if they wander into the damaging cloud left behind. His passive ability is ''[[TheSneakyGuy Stalker]]'', which allows Revenant to sneakily move faster while crouching and climb taller walls faster. His ultimate ability places a ''[[RespawnPoint Death Totem]]'' on the ground, which lasts for thirty seconds and has one hundred health. Any player who touches the totem transforms into a shadow for a short time, allowing them to instantly respawn back at the totem instead of getting downed at the cost of not being able to heal or use their shields.

----
* AGodAmI: A rare averted example for a [[TheSociopath sociopathic character]]. During the Season Five “Broken Ghost” storyline, [[spoiler: an [[TheMole unknown person]] tipped off to Revenant that the other legends were plotting against him, leading to his discovery of the Shadowfall Universe - a place where that universe’s Revenant - known as Shadow Revenant by the others - considers himself that Outland’s God, something the mole wanted the main universe Revenant to discover as well as act upon. Instead, he had zero interest in becoming the “King of the Skin Suits” and told Loba to her face there was a mole helping his cause as well as sabotaging the other legend’s goals. The legends believed they were finding artifacts to limit Revenant’s power, but Loba was discovered to be lying as well: she was gathering them for Hammond Robotics in exchange for the coordinates to Revenant’s “source code” - his [[AchillesHeel organic head]] whose mind and personality is derived from posthumously - which makes him immortal via inserting his mind into a new simulacrum body while it’s still intact. If she could destroy it, he would die and stay dead, something she desired as part of her revenge against her parent’s murderer in the past. Despite this, Revenant helped the other legends on some of the missions to track down the artifacts, [[CardCarryingJerkass all the while taunting them outside of the missions]] and [[{{Narcissist}} making every effort possible to get attention towards himself]]]].
** After the final Season Five “Broken Ghost” PVE mission ends, [[spoiler: the reason why Revenant helped the legends became clear: He wanted to die, having lived a [[WhoWantsToLiveForever tortured life with technical immortality against his will]], only to become excited when he discovered that Loba had the potential to track down as well as destroy his [[WetwareCPU organic head]] after she almost succeeded during the Season Five trailer. He was willing to help Loba if she would continue her mission to destroy him because his programming [[ICannotSelfTerminate prevents him from harming his own source code]], but as of Season Seven she betrayed him by instead sending his organic head through a phase runner heading towards the planet Gridiron, which destroyed this partnership and enraged Revenant. In the end, he swore revenge against her by [[RevengeByProxy threatening to murder her as well as destroy everyone and everything she cared about]]]].
* AIIsACrapshoot: Revenant’s programming made him believe he was human and gave him “contracts” of people he was commanded to assassinate. The programming also kept his original personality intact, but each time he “died” from a botched assassination his [[BodyBackupDrive new simulacrum body]] would corrupt his programming by accumulating glitches. Eventually, his programming broke down to the point it couldn’t fool him with illusions anymore, [[UnwillingRoboticisation making him realize what he was all along]].
* AnimalMotifs: Revenant has a [[SpidersAreScary spider]] motif, with one of his legendary banner frames showcasing a spider theme and spider-like legs on the logo of his passive ability. It fits his passive ability well, being able to scale walls higher as well as creep up on victims while making little noise (while crouching).
** There is also several of his legendary skins. “Unholy Beast” and “False Idol” has him sporting a goat’s head, which is a symbol of satanic religions/cults - whereas “Shadow of the Sun” and “Bird of Prey” references Ra from the Egyptian God pantheon, complete with a bird-shaped head.
* ArchNemesis: Revenant is this to Loba, having murdered her parents in the past. He’s also well aware of who Loba was when he encountered her after her botched attempt to destroy his organic head, yet taunted her with glee into fighting him regardless. [[spoiler: Eventually Loba threw his [[WetwareCPU organic head]] into a phase runner, thus preventing Revenant from achieving the [[WhoWantsToLiveForever one thing he desires the most]]. Needless to say, he’s not happy about this, and is already [[RevengeByProxy planning his revenge]]]].
* AxCrazy: Being revived every time he died as a simulacrum for centuries - having his memories wiped with every revival to boot - did not do wonders for his [[TheSociopath already questionable sanity]], not to mention he still feels pain despite being a simulacrum. He even intends on becoming a boogeyman of sorts in the Outlands once he disposes of the Hammond Robotics company (who created him) as well as its employees. [[spoiler: Having been betrayed by Loba in Season Seven - who threw his [[WetwareCPU source code]] “halfway to Gridiron” using a phase runner - has only made things worse, especially for anyone Loba cares about]]. In a later comic, he tries to kill Horizon just for entering his domain.
* BadBoss: If he's Squadmaster in Control mode, he doesn't exactly inspire much confidence in his leadership skills.
--> ''"I'm Squadmaster. And if I say lie down and die? You will."''
* BaritoneOfStrength: He has a [[EvilSoundsDeep deep]], [[EvilSoundsRaspy raspy]] voice, and was a professional hitman capable of [[OneManArmy taking on a full room of guards on his own]].
* BaitAndSwitch: Forge, who had been hinted to be the next legend in the roster starting in Season Four, was assassinated by Revenant in the cinematic trailer, “Up Close and Personal”, during a TV interview. It’s notable that Revenant had the most leaked files revealed before Season Three ended, only for Respawn to announce it was Forge coming out first... though Revenant had [[YouKillItYouBoughtIt other plans]].
* BirdsOfAFeather: One of the few characters Revenant not only doesn't hate, but actually like is Ash, a fellow Simulacrum who revels in violence just as much as he does, albeit preferring to only spectate rather than actually participate in it. The teaser comic for Season 11 has him preparing to kill Ash, but not out of malice; he was doing it as a MercyKill, as he saw forcing a Simulacrum to remember their prior life to be a FateWorseThanDeath out of his own experience. [[DoWrongRight His alternate universe counterpart even mocks him for this]], challenging the "[[ForTheEvulz murderbot]]" persona he's built up and largely demonstrated previously. In Revenant's words:
--> "I like the new boss. She likes skinbags as much as I do."
* BlackComedy: Revenant’s attempt at comedy is this, much to the chagrin of his fellow legends.
--> '''Revenant''' (While driving a Trident and trying to get his teammate(s) to join him): “So what if I have a death wish and can’t drive? Get in the car.”
--> '''Revenant''' (While he’s teammates with Loba and they’re inside the restaurant where he murdered her parents): “Look familiar, Loba? Awww... shame they got rid of the elevator.”
--> '''Revenant''' (While jumping on a Trident one of his teammates are driving): “I'll join you. Crashes aren't so bad... if the jagged metal kills you quickly.”
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Revenant can weaponize his hands by folding his fingers together into blades. It was how he assassinated Forge in the cinematic trailer, “Up Close and Personal,” and he utilizes his weaponized hand(s) in one of his finisher animations.
* BlessedWithSuck: His Death Totem allows its users to gain a level of safety before pushing an opponent and retrieve themselves from danger, but some voice lines hint that something vague and unpleasant is happening to anyone who does.
-->'''Leigh, as Ash''': (anxious and confused sounds)\\
'''Valkyrie''': "Back to the Totem and [[NotHerself back to myself]]."\\
'''Horizon''': "AH. I'M -- oh, just back at the Totem."\\
'''Octane''': "Back at the Totem; ay, [[OutOfCharacterMoment I think I need to sit down]]... No."
* BodyBackupDrive: A robotic variant; as a simulacrum, he [[BrainUploading uploads his mind into a new robotic body]] whenever the current one he’s using is destroyed.
* BodyHorror: His robotic body allows him to contort and fold in unnatural ways, like dislocating his joints to stretch out his limbs.
* BrainUploading: According to Caustic during Season 5's story, most Simulacra are effectively just {{Full Conversion Cyborg}}s: their mechanical bodies interface with the original person's brain tissue. Revenant, on the other hand, is this: his original head is preserved, and whenever he dies it's copied into a fresh body.
* BreakTheCutie: In the “Apex Legends: Pathfinder’s Quest” book, [[spoiler: Revenant convinced Pathfinder that he was the one who murdered the scientists from Project: Iris, of which he knew he was a part of. Due to the information at hand, Pathfinder believed Revenant, which made Pathfinder realize he either murdered the people who knew who his creator was or even outright murdered his creator from the group. [[HeroicBSOD This didn’t sit well with him at all]], so he planned to flee towards the Fringe Worlds or even Earth to ensure that he wouldn’t be a threat to his friends. Fortunately, Rampart managed to talk Pathfinder out of doing this later on and convinced him to speak with Kuben Blisk, who she suspected would have the means for Pathfinder to find out the truth about what happened that fateful day]].
* BreakThemByTalking: Revenant loves doing this to anyone who annoys him, angers him, or when he’s just plain bored. In the “Apex Legends: Pathfinder’s Quest” book, [[spoiler: poor Pathfinder was the receiving end of this when he pushed angered Revenant too far with BrutalHonesty]].
* BrokenAce: On one hand, the human which Revenant’s mind was copied from - Kaleb Cross - is stated to be the best hitman the Syndicate ever had. Also, Revenant continued to serve as the Syndicate’s top hitman until he discovered the truth about his existence. However, Revenant didn’t enjoy being brought back as a simulacrum, and given he still feels pain even as a robot it’s no wonder [[GoMadFromTheRevelation he turned psychotic when he looked into a mirror and saw what he had been turned into]].
* ButForMeItWasTuesday:
** A Season 5 loading screen has him note that he had a ton of victims in his memory banks, making figuring out which one Loba was connected to a non-trivial task as vengeance-seekers are dime a dozen for him. When she confronts him at the end of "The Broken Ghost", one of the first things he says is "You're not that original. You're not even the first to use snipers as overwatch."
** He can {{invoke|d}} this as a taunt against the other Legends by a Season 11 quip:
---> "Oh no, I killed... who are you again? Nevermind, I don't care."
* ButtMonkey: One of the legends least likely to make it out of a launch trailer alive, and he tends to die in particularly humiliating ways as well.
* CallAHumanAMeatbag: "Skinbag" and "skin suits" are some of Revenant's most frequently used terms.
* CastingAShadow: His “Death Totem” ability turns the user(s) into shadow being(s). Also, His “Silence” tactical ability emits a dark aura.
* CherryTapping: Similarly to Bangalore's smoke grenade, it is possible to kill an enemy with Revenant's tactical if they have little health left.
* CloseRangeCombatant: Revenant’s passive makes him a potent choice for sneaking up on opponents with a SMG/shotgun, making him dangerous when closing the distance on prey as well as ambushing them without making a sound until it’s too late. It helps his cause that he can also scale taller walls faster than other legends.
* CombatHandFan: Wields these in a skydive emote, and one of his banner frames displays them.
* CutscenePowerToTheMax: In the Season Four launch trailer, Revenant displayed the ability to enter his shadowy state at will, and teleport by fading into smoke. In the game proper, he must first summon a death totem to enter this state. One of his finisher animations also incorporates his ability to teleport by fading into smoke.
* CycleOfRevenge: His ongoing feud with Loba in a nutshell. [[spoiler: Ironically, Revenant wanted this to end despite being a sociopathic assassin, but Loba’s decision to hide his source code somewhere on the planet Gridiron has only made it continue. Denied his chance to finally rest for good, he’s decided to use his technical immortality [[RevengeByProxy by tormenting as well as murdering everyone Loba cares about]]]].
* DarkIsEvil: A relentless assassin who wouldn't hesitate to murder as well as maim non-combatants in his way, and also has the power to turn into a [[CastingAShadow shadowy form]].
* {{Determinator}}: A frightening one, considering he’s an AxCrazy murderer with access to advanced technology as a simulacrum. Furthermore, in the “Apex Legends: Pathfinder’s Quest” book, Pathfinder remarked to Revenant how he doesn’t have an infinite amount of shells, making him question what would happen if he did indeed lose every last body before getting his revenge on [[spoiler: Loba]]. Revenant stated he supposed he would become a computer program at that point, yet still find a way to come back. After all, he cannot truly die for good until his [[WetwareCPU organic head]] is destroyed.
* DifficultButAwesome: Revenant is the king of “third partying,” aka engaging enemy squads who are already fighting each other in order to ambush them. Thanks to his ultimate ability, Revenant and his teammates can safely do this since they cannot die for good while in shadow mode, allowing them to make aggressive moves against enemy opponents with impunity. He also works well as an assassin thanks to his passive ability, making it easier to infiltrate hostile areas in order to catch enemies unaware and/or set up a totem in secrecy, plus his tactical ability prevents opponents from using their tactical/ultimate abilities as well as some passives to boot. However, his tactical ability is a skill shot that can be difficult to aim, and since anyone can use his ultimate ability he must place the totem in a spot where it cannot be abused by enemy teams.
** “Stalker” allows Revenant to climb walls much higher than other legends at a faster rate and crouch-walk at the same speed he would normal walk, making it easy for him to infiltrate hostile territory in secrecy (legends don’t make noise when crouch-walking). Players who learn how to crouch strafe as well as move erratically while firing will find that Revenant can be a difficult target to hit due to this passive.
** “Silence” fires a small orb at opponents that, upon hit, does ten damage and [[PowerNullifier nullifies their tactical/ult abilities]] for twenty seconds. It creates an AOE radius for ten seconds upon landing - which applies the same effects if opponents try to storm through it as well - making it useful for cutting off choke points, and he holds two charges at a time with a cooldown of twenty five seconds per orb. It will only prevent victims from being able to use their abilities, thus the ones already in effect will still work with the exception of the following examples:
*** Gibraltar’s “Gun Shield” passive ability, and will instantly drain the shield when hit.
*** Lifeline’s “Combat Revive” passive ability, which is instantly canceled if she’s hit and prevent her teammate from being revived from the D.O.C., forcing Lifeline to revive her teammate herself without the shield.
*** Pathfinder’s “Grapple Hook” ability while he is currently deploying it as well as swinging from a surface. If deactivated while swinging, he will fling himself in the direction he was going before the grapple hook was forcibly deactivated.
*** Wraith’s “Dimensional Rift” while she is still trying to place the second portal. She will be able to use this ability immediately with no cooldown once the debuff ends.
*** Mirage’s “Now You See Me” is deactivated and he cannot cloak until the debuff ends.
*** Octane’s “Swift Mend” is deactivated, forcing players to rely on third party healing resources instead.
** “Death Totem” creates an artifact that upon activation turns any legend, friend or foe, into a shadow for thirty seconds. While in this form, a shadow who dies will return back to the totem with up to a maximum of fifty percent of their health remaining (depending on how much health they had before activating the totem), effectively giving them a second life to kill opponents with; this is a good strategy if your team decides to “third party” a battle, but with far safer implications if Revenant’s team is defeated since they will not stay dead as long as the totem is active. However, their shields are deactivated during this time; they cannot use healing items; and if the totem is destroyed - or the timer runs out - then players return to their normal form in their current position while also retaining all health damage up to fifty percent (depending on how much health the user had before activating the totem), which can end badly if they’re caught out in a vicious firefight they intended to die in.
* {{DoppelGanger}}: Revenant has one in the Shadowfall alternate universe known as Shadow Revenant; they hate each other with every ounce of their being. [[DoppelgangerGetsSameSentiment The other legends don’t like Shadow Revenant either]], although it’s well justified considering their [[CardCarryingJerkass Shadowfall host’s behavior]].
* TheDreaded: Both Hammond Robotics as well as the Syndicate are afraid of him, and for good reason considering he cannot truly die until his source code - his original organic head - is destroyed. Many of the legends see him as this outside of the Apex Games as well since the technology which keeps them from permanently dying no longer applies to them. It doesn’t help matters he’s [[AxCrazy Ax-Crazy]] and considers assassinating Hammond Robotic employees a fun way to kill time when he’s not in a match.
--> '''Revenant''' (Upon entering World’s Edge): “Fighting in World's Edge. Good. I've missed the smell of terrified Hammond employees.”
* EarlyBirdCameo: He appeared as a silhouette during the launch trailer for the Halloween “Fight or Fright” event in 2019, serving as the announcer for the event’s duration. Also, the shadowy figures of those who died reappear as part of his “Death Totem” ability, albeit players enter this form in a different manner.
* EasterEgg: Many of Revenant’s voice lines -- while not directly addressed to them -- hit a little too close to home for his legend colleagues, indicating he did his homework on them...
--> “I’ve seen the other side. There’s nothing. ''You’re'' nothing.” (References Wattson's deceased father)\\
“They say there's honor in death... hahahahaha...” (References Bloodhound's sense of honor)\\
“I find no pleasure in taking a life that doesn’t appreciate it.” (References Octane's recklessness and self-induced leg loss)\\
“What’s your name? I have to know.” (References Lifeline's shame for her family's acts)\\
“They’ve already forgotten you.” (References Mirage's mother, an Alzheimer's patient)\\
“Hoping to meet your maker? They don't exist.” (References Pathfinder's goal to find his creator)\\
“That little voice saying there's still hope... it's lying.” (References Wraith's ability to hear guidance from other dimensions)\\
“It's too late to kill the people who made me, but I can take it out on you.” (References Valkyrie's regret dedicating her life to vengeance)\\
“I look forward to meeting you all... real close and personal.” (References how he killed Forge)
* EvilCounterpart: Serves as this to Pathfinder, who is nice; cheerful; and eager to be everyone's friend, whereas Revenant... isn’t the [[LeanAndMean nicest being around]], and is more interested in watching people die. Their ColorMotifs also contrast against each other's: Pathfinder is marked by a [[BlueIsHeroic clear shade of sky blue]], while Revenant is marked by a [[RedIsViolent blood-like shade of red]]. Revenant's banner poses showcases this as well. Several of his banner poses involve him attacking Pathfinder in some way, including choking the poor MRVN; knocking him out; etc.
* EvilVersusEvil: Revenant’s storyline is shaping up to be this. On the one hand, Revenant is a sociopath [[{{Sadist}} who enjoys violence and death]], and [[CardCarryingVillain he’s quite proud of this to boot]]. However, Hammond Robotics was the company who created him, and considering their role in the Frontier War of the past they’re not innocent either - not to mention several Season Four loading screens reveal they might be up to no good once again for the people of the Outlands. Complicating matters is the fact that [[DarkActionGirl Loba]], the daughter of a family Revenant assassinated years ago, has entered the Apex Games looking for revenge against her family’s murderer, [[spoiler:and she gets this revenge by sending his [[WetwareCPU source code]] “halfway to Gridiron” using a phase runner,” [[WhoWantsToLiveForever making it more difficult for him to die for good]]]].
* EvilerThanThou: Revenant is this in comparison to Caustic. While the latter isn’t a nice legend in the Apex Games, he does have some redeeming qualities, like his [[WickedCultured sense of classiness;]] his [[AffablyEvil politeness towards most of his teammates;]] and his fondness of [[MoralityPet Wattson]]. By contrast, Revenant [[VirtueIsWeakness disdains empathy and benevolence]]; the closest to kindness he gets is cold, ruthless yet quick efficiency when murdering someone, and that's only to continue his [[SerialKiller favorite pastime]].
* FateWorseThanDeath: Upon learning he wasn’t a human - instead a simulacrum - Revenant panicked upon the realization [[WhoWantsToLiveForever he had technical immortality that he never wanted]]. To make matters worse the Season Four loading screen, “Lies,” revealed that Revenant’s programming makes him feel pain every time his body was destroyed and it mimicked how a normal person would’ve felt that pain. For example, if a person stabbed a knife through his chassis then his programming made him feel the stabbing wound a normal human would. Considering there was no need for Revenant to feel pain at all implies his creator(s) did so to spite and/or sadistically torture him. Upon this discovery, the combined pain of every single instance Revenant “died” in the last 300 years before he learned he wasn’t human crashed into his mind all at once.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Revenant behaved this way when partnered with Loba in a match during Season Five. While he did compliment and thank Loba, it's all done in a condescending and sarcastic tone - not to mention he enjoyed referencing her dead parents whom he murdered. That being said, [[JerkassHasAPoint he did have a point calling out Loba’s rude behavior, considering they’re supposed to work with each other in order to win]]. However, this trope was subverted with the rest of the legends at the time; he made no attempt to hide his [[{{Jerkass}} true nature]] from them.
--> '''Revenant''' (When addressing Loba’s “thank you”): "Didn’t your parents teach you any manners?”
* {{Fingore}}: It's not easy to notice, since most of the time Revenant players will shoot his tactical at enemies and be too preoccupied to look at his first-person animations, but if one holds down Revenant's Tactical button, they'll notice that to launch it, his fingers bend back at unnatural angles and stretch incredibly far to grab the projectile and launch it like a slingshot.
* {{Foil}}: To Caustic. While both are [[TokenEvilTeammate the more malicious legends]] in the lineup, they are polar opposites.
** Caustic is a pudgy human, while Revenant is a lean synthetic being with a human-like mind.
** Caustic’s abilities utilize science-based gadgets, whereas Revenant’s appear to be supernatural.
** While Caustic can come across as quite haughty, he is respectful towards his squadmates, and shows a soft side towards Wattson. In contrast, Revenant doesn't respect his fellow legends, and never says anything nice to his teammates unless he [[SarcasmMode coats it thick with sarcasm first]].
** Caustic was denied his applications to become a Simulacrum based on personality tests pointing out his troubling mental state. Revenant never wanted to be a Simulacrum, and the side effects of becoming one have taken a far more severe toll on his mind than what Caustic could ever handle.
* ForTheEvulz: The Season Four loading screen, “No More Lies,” implies that once Revenant exacts his revenge on Hammond Robotics [[spoiler:and Loba]], he will murder whoever he wants; whenever he wants; and wherever he wants, becoming the [[TheDreaded boogeyman of the Outlands]].
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: His lobby animation has him pacing back and forth in a slow yet calculated manner - keeping eye on the player at all times - before charging towards the screen in his shadow form without warning.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: ''None'' of the other Legends like him (except [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter Pathfinder]]). This ranges from mild apathy (Gibraltar, Wraith, Crypto, Octane, Horizon and Fuze), to considering him a jackass (Bangalore, Caustic, Lifeline, Rampart and Wattson), to genuine terror (Mirage), and finally absolute loathing (Loba).
* GlamourFailure: The last straw that turned him self-aware was looking at his reflection and seeing a glass shard lodged into his neck. What should have been a grisly wound that [[WeirdnessCensor gets blocked out by his programming]] made him fully realize what he was.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: The default state of his eyes, as befitting of a murderous simulacrum; their normal color is an [[YellowEyesOfSneakiness eerie yellow]]. However, while in Shadow mode, [[RedEyesTakeWarning the eyes turn red]].
* GuideDangIt: While players are under the influence of a Death Totem, if they execute an opponent who was downed they will recharge their shields back to full charge once they return back to normal - despite having their shields deactivated while they’re in shadow form.
* HiddenDepths: During Season Four, when Revenant was revived in-game, one of his voice lines had him screaming in frustration how he cannot stay dead. [[TorturedMonster It’s clear he hated being brought back as a simulacrum]] - henceforth why he is trying to murder everyone in Hammond Robotics as well as destroy the company - which makes it possible he joined the Apex Games hoping a legend possesses the means to put him out of his misery for good. [[spoiler: It ended up being a case of {{Foreshadowing}} since the Season Five “Broken Ghost” storyline revealed at the time Revenant teamed up with Loba outside of the games so he could finally die. However, Loba had [[FateWorseThanDeath other plans for him]] upon learning this [[WhoWantsToLiveForever crucial detail]]]].
--> '''Revenant''': "Why... can't I... just ''die already!?''"
* HoistByTheirOwnPetard: Opponents can use Revenant’s “Death Totem” as well, which can lead to Revenant’s team having to also eliminate an opposing team twice to kill them off for good. Also, anyone who uses the totem and recklessly runs into a battle might turn back to normal in a dangerous spot, which means anyone who wants to return to the totem must aggressively push against opponents so they can die in order to return back to the totem in safety. Considering, of course, opportunistic opponents aren’t waiting near a totem to gun down weakened victims or set up traps near it.
* {{Homage}}: Revenant's debut in the Season Four launch trailer could be one to the opening scenes of ''Film/GhostInTheShell2017''.
* HPToOne: The original version of his Death Totem reduced its users' HP to 1 if it resurrected them; it no longer does that, restoring up to 50 hp now.
* {{Immortality}}: See BodyBackUpDrive above. To get an idea of how much Revenant hates it, see FateWorseThanDeath above.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: What Revenant did to Forge during his interview in a cinematic trailer, complete with a [[HighPressureBlood fountain of blood]] being splattered on Forge’s interviewer.
* ImplacableMan: Revenant is '''not''' happy he was turned into a simulacrum, and wants the Hammond Robotics company along with their associates dead. Furthermore, due to being immortal as a simulacrum - plus having access to abilities which revive him when he dies - Revenant’s targets have no idea how to kill him off for good since his [[WetwareCPU organic head]] keeps teleporting to new locations every time something threatens it.
** [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EPoVXaXXUAMahY9.jpg:large A lore material]] shows the email exchanges between Jacob Young - the Syndicate's PR director - and Hammond Robotics personnel, whose conversation implied Revenant was invited into the Apex Games in an attempt to use the fighting to satisfy his blood thirst, thus keeping Hammond Robotics and the Syndicate safe for the time being. [[spoiler: They also hired Loba in order to destroy Revenant’s source code after discovering she almost succeeded, albeit she decided to keep him alive forever by throwing his source code through a phase runner, thus betraying Hammond Robotics; the Syndicate; and Revenant, [[WhoWantsToLiveForever who wanted to die and told Loba to destroy his source code]]]].
* InnerMonologue: Has a tendency to go on long tangents when left to his own devices.
** In-game, the final loading screens of Season 4's battle pass have lore text attached, formed from half-and-half narration of Revenant's actions, and his prose padding out said narration. It's split over five different screens.
** The epilogue to the Season 9 Twitter comics have Revenant enter a lengthy, almost poetic monologue about how he sees people taking to life and what they want from it.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Revenant is a textbook case of a {{Narcissist}} who couldn’t care any less about humans (who he refers to as “skin suits”) and only furthers his own goals. This trope was nearly invoked word-for-word in the “Apex Legends: Pathfinders Quest” book when Pathfinder talked to Revenant about Loba.
-->'''Revenant''' : “I entertained her little vendetta in the beginning because I thought I could at least play with my food for a bit before devouring it. But then something truly evil happened...”\\
'''Pathfinder''' : “She started winning?”\\
'''Revenant''' : “She isn’t winning jack-all, do you hear me?! I win! She’s up there right now in that ship, plotting and scheming against me. And that’s still not enough. I’m the one who’s going to win here. Not her. [[PsychologicalProjection She’s crazy, you know. She’s obsessed]].”\\
'''Pathfinder''' : “I saw Loba three days ago.”\\
'''Revenant''' : “And I bet all you heard about was ‘Demonio this’ and ‘Demonio that’!”\\
'''Pathfinder''' : “Your name never came up.”\\
'''Revenant''' : “Exac-wait, what?”\\
'''Pathfinder''' : “She never said your name. Hold on. I’ll check the transcript... nope. Not even once.”\\
'''Revenant''' : “I’m the whole reason she’s even here at all! Every single move she makes is all about me! Me! Me! ''Me!'' ''Meeeeeee''!”
* {{Jerkass}}: By far the rudest of the legends. Unlike Caustic, who will [[AffablyEvil politely ask for weapons and supplies and show gratitude]], Revenant will do anything in his power to show how little he cares about others.
-->'''Revenant''' (When selected at the beginning): “Team looks good. It’ll do nicely as shields.”\\
'''Revenant''' (when “thanking” a teammate): "I’m not thanking you.”\\
'''Revenant''' (when “thanking” a teammate): "Don't think I owe you anything."\\
'''Revenant''' (when pinging a location): "Go there. Now!"\\
'''Revenant''' (when asking for a specific loot): "Give me X."\\
'''Revenant''' (dibs): "It's mine. Don't touch it!"\\
'''Revenant''' (when pinging lava): "Lava there. Go swim in it.”
* JerkassHasAPoint:
** Revenant questions Loba's extreme vengeance against him after [[spoiler:she sends his head to Gridiron]] in some of their voice lines. It's not going to change the fact that he's a SerialKiller ForTheEvulz and trying to piss her off, but she decided he deserves [[spoiler:an eternity of anguish and suffering]] basically only because he killed her parents at a time when he wasn't self-aware and was working off of his programming; whenever she talks about the demonio, it's never about avenging anyone but herself or her parents.
--->"You think you're the victim? What about me? What about what I lost?"
** His BreakThemByTalking schtick relies on pointing out things that his targets already know are true and taking them to logical possibilities, so he ends up predicting events that would later happen:
*** When Horizon approaches him for help "waking" Ash up, he warns her that it's probably a bad idea, and then later on attempts to destroy her to prevent the process from completing. One reunion with her ArchEnemy later, Horizon concedes that she probably should've listened to him, albeit for a different reason.
*** In a Season 11 comic, he confronts Bangalore about her search for her brother. When she refutes the idea of him being dead, Revenant points out that Bangalore is an intergalactic celebrity at this point, so if Jackie still hasn't found her by now, he's either dead or doesn't ''want'' to be found. Bangalore finds herself unable to refute the possibility. [[spoiler:Both possibilities end up becoming true to some extent: Bangalore finds evidence that Jackson died, and later discovers that he was indeed ignoring her message.]]
* KickTheDog: Revenant’s personality can be summed up as this, but even for him there are times when he really goes out of his way to screw someone over.
** In the Season Five “Broken Ghost” storyline, [[spoiler: Revenant used Crypto’s hacked drone to torment Wattson by trying to ram her with it. What makes it worse is that he questioned why the drone wasn’t armed with anything sharp, which hinted he intended to test any weapons the drone had on her, all the while telling a bad pun joke on purpose to mock [[PungeonMaster her sense of humor]]; even her VerbalTic wasn’t spared]].
---> '''Revenant''' [[spoiler: (Through the speaker of Crypto’s now hacked drone): “Got a new message from my little friend and thought I’d check in with my favorite pack of skinbags. Hear you found something that belongs to me, and I’d like to give you... a piece of my mind. [[VerbalTic Get it]], Wattson? Huh? Get it?!"]]
** His treatment of Loba in general is this. [[spoiler: And considering she had the opportunity to get rid of him for good but decided against it, she has no one to blame but herself for allowing Revenant to continue tormenting her]].
** In the “Apex Legends: Pathfinder’s Quest” book, Revenant decides to “help” Pathfinder [[spoiler: discover more about Project: Iris, which he believes plays an important clue in who his creator was. In reality, all Revenant did was twist some of the information Pathfinder knew and make him think he was the one who murdered all the scientists who died while working on the project, [[HeroicBSOD which caused Pathfinder to abandon his quest for a time and even consider running away to the Fringe Worlds or Earth in order to protect his friends from himself]]]].
* LeanAndMean: Revenant has long and slender humanoid limbs which make him appear skeletal, and is overall a malicious figure who assassinates people at a whim - now that he is free of Hammond Robotic’s as well as the Syndicate’s control.
* LoinCloth: He wears one. Combined with the skeletal chassis and exposed wires in some spots, it adds to a sort of ramshackle "built 300 years ago" aesthetic, fitting for a prototype Simulacrum. Also, if Octane needs to mock Revenant, he goes for the loin (cloths).
-->"Piece of advice, amigo? Wanna go faster? Lose the loincloth."\\
''[When talking about Shadow Revenant]'' "Hey, Señor Loincloth's got a brother. Maybe they'll go be boring somewhere else."
* MalevolentMaskedMan: He is a merciless simulacrum who wears a skull-themed mask.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Many of Revenant’s abilities appear borderline supernatural. His “Silence” and “Death Totem” abilities both emit a dark aura for unknown reasons, his “Death Totem” revives a person/robot from dying, and so far the developers have made minimal effort in trying to explain how these devices work. The reason given by them is that revealing this information would spoil a future planned character in the in-game universe.
* MeaningfulName: '''Revenant''' means a person who has returned from the dead, and he’s the first legend who's a simulacrum - a robot with the mind of a dead person uploaded into its systems. Also, he can enter a [[CastingAShadow shadow form]] which invokes supernatural undead themes.
* MisplacedRetribution: The people who originally created him have died, so he intends to take it out on everyone even vaguely connected to Hammond Robotics. Once he's through with them, nobody will be safe from him.
* {{Narcissist}}: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]]. While he was hinted as being such upon release, the Season Five “Broken Ghost” storyline revealed he didn’t like it when Loba ignored him for too long, and made grand entrances - despite knowing the other Legends wanted him gone for good - just to screw with everyone while sating his own ego. Where the deconstruction begins is when the “Apex Legends: Pathfinder’s Quest” book revealed that Revenant believes the world revolves around him, but only to torment his very existence. In short, he believes reality revolves around him in his twisted mind, but only to treat him like a ChewToy for its own amusement, yet he cannot help but desire attention of any kind regardless.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: A villainous version: during the Season 5 quest, he learns that Loba is [[spoiler:closer to getting to destroying his source code than any other vengeance-seeker he's encountered. He openly tells her this, assuming that she will just get it on with and destroy his head, but when armed with this new information, she instead modifies her plot for revenge; instead of killing him like they both originally wanted, she sends his head deep into space so that killing him is now significantly harder, if not impossible. If he just shut up and didn't reveal that she was doing exactly what he wanted at the start, Revenant would have gotten the death he desired long ago]].
* NightmareFetishist: Revenant himself is this, but his Shadowfall alternate universe counterpart - [[DoppelGanger Shadow Revenant]] - exaggerates this as the announcer for the Shadowfall LTM and Shadow Royale LTM; he expressed glee whenever he observed a player die or flee from danger.
--> '''Shadow Revenant''' (announcing champion): "Meet your champion. Lots of kills by this one, heheh, I like that."
--> '''Shadow Revenant''' (first blood): "First blood has been taken. How wonderful."
--> '''Shadow Revenant''' (ring moving): "The ring is moving. I like it when you all flee."
* {{Ninja}}: He has a heavy emphasis on deception and disabling the opponent. Let's not forget he wears a bandana and often include literal Shinobi and Ninja Tools in his backgrounds. Hell, he even has a purchasable Ninja skin.
* NoodleIncident: During the 2560s, a cult had stalked Revenant for quite some time, believing him to their messiah - likely due to the fact he was a simulacrum at that point. This irritated Revenant, who still believed he was human at the time, and thought of the cult members as being too crazy for even him to handle.
* NoSell: While in shadow form, players are immune to the extra damage bonus from the Hammerpoint Rounds hop-up; this was likely done to balance the fact shadows [[ArmorPiercingAttack take damage directly to health]] instead of their shields.
* NotMeThisTime: Midway into Season 14's story, [[spoiler:Jaime is attacked by an assassin, but survives because his assailant was forced to flee before he could finish the job due to Loba and Vantage arriving earlier than expected. Loba and Valkyrie both assume Revenant did it. He didn't. The epilogue reveals that it was one of their fellow Legends.]]
* NotTheIntendedUse: The spheres left behind by his Silence ability are visually noisy and hard to see through. Crafty Revenant players might be able to use them to hide themselves while doing things such as reviving allies.
* ObviouslyEvil: He wears a [[WhiteMaskOfDoom mask that resembles the face of a skull]], is marked by [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver the colors red and black]], and has an [[EvilSoundsDeep eerily deep voice]]. [[SarcasmMode He's a good guy for sure]].
* OneManArmy: The Season Four launch trailer showed Revenant single-handedly annihilate a full room of guards to assassinate Marcos Andrade.
* OurLichesAreDifferent: He's effectively a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot robot lich]], as he has all the tropes surrounding them. His body is skeletal and bony, his abilities (such as power negation and resurrective Death Totems) border on being magical, he's effectively immortal, and he even has a phylactery -- that being his organic head.
* PaintingTheMedium: Comics show him with white text on black text bubbles, which help get across his EvilSoundsDeep voice.
* PetTheDog: The only legend that Revenant doesn’t act like a complete {{Jerkass}} towards is Rampart. He is interested in hiring her services, but Rampart refuses to associate herself with him for obvious reasons. Unfortunately for her, he doesn’t seem interested in taking no for an answer.
* PowerNullifier: Revenant’s tactical ability does this upon hitting an opponent, or when an opponent walks into the AOE radius after the orb landed. All of the victim’s tactical/ultimate abilities are negated and certain abilities/passives which were in use are automatically deactivated. See DifficultButAwesome above for a full list of these abilities.
* PreMortemOneLiner: Revenant spoke '''one''' word for the entirety of the Season Four cinematic launch trailer which introduced him.
--> (Revenant has killed all the guards, and is holding Marcos Andrade by the neck)\\
'''Andrade''' (gasping): "What the hell are you?"\\
'''Revenant''': "... Death." (Breaks Andrade's neck)
* PrimalFear: A terrifying inversion of the “Shadow of Death” variant. Living forever opens you up to the possibility of a FateWorseThanDeath.
* ProfessionalKiller: The human that Revenant’s mind was based on used to be the deadliest hitman for the Syndicate. Revenant himself was also this for said group until he learned he was a simulacrum after his programming faltered.
* PutThemAllOutOfMyMisery: Revenant hates ''everyone'', and as revealed by the Season Four loading screen, “No More Lies,” he plans to take his anger out on the people of the Outlands - particularly anyone from Hammond Robotics and the Syndicate.
* Really700YearsOld: In the Season Four loading screen, “The Cycle,” Revenant learned from a Hammond Robotics employee which he interrogated that his first upload as a simulacrum began in 2445, which was two hundred eighty-eight years from that point. Considering his mind came from a human who had to be a few decades old before he died, the loading screen’s time point was shortly after he assassinated Marcos Andrade - plus said assassination happened in the past (the current present is a few decades after the assassination) - Revenant has to be somewhere over three hundred years old.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: His default outfits consist of red and black, and he's not a benevolent being by far.
* RedOniBlueOni: The murderous, cold-hearted Blue Oni. To Pathfinder's optimistic and naive Red Oni, it's even subverted in their color schemes as the only two playable robots thus far.
* RedIsViolent: Revenant is a murderous simulacrum who is associated with the color red.
* TheReveal: In the Season Five “Broken Ghost” PVE missions, [[spoiler: Revenant is revealed to be the “broken ghost” the missions refer to. He knows he has lived far longer than he should have, and has reached a point where he’d rather just die than continue to pursue revenge against Hammond Robotics, but is unable to kill himself due to his programming preventing him from harming his [[AchillesHeel “source code”]] - his [[WetwareCPU organic head]]. Initially, he teamed up with Loba so she could destroy it, but her betrayal in Season Seven has ended this partnership.]]
** The “Apex Legends: Pathfinder’s Quest” book revealed that Revenant’s name as a human was Kaleb Cross. Furthermore, the man who ended Kaleb’s life was his last victim while he was still human; the victim’s name was Bob Woods.
* RevengeByProxy: Said proxy being the people adjacent to Loba, something he promised her after she [[spoiler:ensured that he'd never be able to feel the release of death]].
* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: Played with. Revenant is a simulacrum - a robotic body with a deceased human’s mind uploaded into its systems - making it act and think like its original human counterpart while alive. As a result, he behaves like a human would, although being revived after dying for centuries while having his memories wiped every time [[AxCrazy did a number on his sanity]].
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Revenant is seeking revenge on Hammond Robotics for turning him into a simulacrum. He also won’t hesitate to take his anger out on anyone who gets in his way. Or anyone he sees, really; he’s not picky on that particular detail as the Season Four loading screen, “No More Lies,” revealed:
--> '''Revenant''': Question: who gets to die next? Answer: Anybody you want. This is the Outlands, baby. There's no law. No order. And you're the boogeyman. Or, at least, you will be. Soon enough. So when somebody vanishes without a trace? That's you. When a murder goes unsolved? That's you. Your revenge isn't aimed at one person. It's aimed at every person. It's aimed at any person. An endless supply of skin suits, and so much time to kill. What are you waiting for, little simulacrum? Get to work...
* RoboticPsychopath: He's certainly off his rocker.
* {{Sadist}}: In his default finisher, Revenant laughs like a maniac after finishing off his victim. He also takes a special joy in tormenting Loba by making constant reminders about her deceased parents when they’re working together as teammates.
--> '''Revenant:''' “Make a corpse and you get flies... they are all easy to crush.”
* SciFiHorror: Revenant’s entire being as well as storyline counts as this. It doesn’t help matters that he’s effectively immortal, so long as his human head [[AchillesHeel isn’t damaged]].
* SerialKiller: The “Revenge” variant, though Revenant is gaining shades of “Hedonistic” as well if the Season Four loading screen, “No More Lies,” is any indication.
* SinisterScythe: His Heirloom, the Dead Man's Curve. It's one of the largest Heirlooms in the game, its blade can be segmented into a {{Whip Sword}}-like configuration, and it folds around a cutting wheel-like pivot near the base of the blade.
* TheSneakyGuy: Revenant is proficient at stealth; he managed to sneak into the live TV interview in the cinematic trailer, “Up Close and Personal,” without making a sound. Also, Forge - a ''five time Hyperfighting Federation champion'' - didn't notice anything wrong until Revenant [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice stabbed him]].
** On the gameplay side of things, his abilities reflect his status as an assassin. His passive ability, "Stalker," allows him to crouch walk faster (a legend can move silently when crouch walking) and climb up taller surfaces. Needless to say, this ability is useful for sneaking up on enemies.
* TheSociopath: The Season Four cinematic launch trailer showed Revenant murder a full room of people - including non-combatants - without showing any remorse or hesitation. [[AxCrazy It only got worse when he discovered he was no longer human]].
* StartOfDarkness: Has ''two'' of them. The 2020 Shadow Royale event revealed Kaleb Cross was abused by his father as a human child, and it’s hinted by the voice line he eventually snapped and murdered his father... [[FateWorseThanDeath or worse, considering the technology which exists in that universe]]. The second start began during Kaleb’s new life as a simulacrum when he discovered he was no longer human. While he was already a sociopathic assassin to begin with, [[WhatHaveIBecome he completely loses it upon seeing his true appearance in the mirror]], turning him into the AxCrazy RoboticPsychopath murderer known as Revenant who assassinates people whenever he feels like it - [[ProfessionalKiller compared to simply doing it as his job]].
--> '''Revenant''': (Upon getting roasted by Shadow Revenant in the Shadow Royale event): “I once had a father that talked to me that way. Once...”
* SuperPrototype: PlayedWith: He's the first Simulacrum to ever be built, and between his shadow form and his myriad of {{Body Backup Drive}}s, he has features that aren't apparent in later Simulacra bodies such as Ash's. [[FlawedPrototype But also]], said backup bodies were created as a response to the data degredation that his original plans were susceptible to, and even so it's not a fully foolproof fix.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Any legend forced to work with Revenant will invoke this, considering how little he thinks of his teammates to begin with. He will cooperate with his teammates, but only because he sees them as more things for enemies to shoot at instead of himself. This gets taken up a notch when partnered with Loba, whose parents he murdered in the past, and Revenant is well aware she wants him dead... yet all that does is [[KickTheDog make him want to rile her up even more]]. [[spoiler: Then Loba, despite promising to find his [[WetwareCPU source code]] to end matters between them, instead sent his organic head “halfway to Gridiron” using a phase runner; this intensified the hatred between them]].
-->'''Revenant''' (when addressing an ally who is down): "Oh, you’re down? Begging is good for the soul.”\\
'''Revenant''' (when reviving a downed ally): “You’re better off dead, but I could use the cover.”\\
'''Revenant''' (when reviving Loba): “Saved by the same monster that killed your parents, isn't that delicious?”\\
'''Revenant''' {when “thanking” Loba for reviving him): “It must eat you alive... saving my life so I can ruin yours.”
** Later seasons have him take a particular dislike towards Caustic and Bangalore. In Caustic’s case, [[spoiler: Revenant was aware that Caustic wanted Loba gone by any means because she knew about his criminal past, thus Revenant kept making threats towards Caustic to ensure he didn’t screw over Revenant’s best chance to finally die for good. Caustic mirrored this animosity by feeling like he gotten the short stick out of his deal with Revenant that cost Caustic the trust of his former protegee, Wattson]]. In Bangalore’s case, it’s because of her newly found camaraderie with Loba. [[spoiler: Loba herself joined this list later on after she betrayed Revenant by hiding his source code instead of destroying it, earning his animosity once more in a way that is outright desire to torture her]].
--> '''Revenant''' (When “thanking” Bangalore): “You surprised me, soldier. Think she (Loba) won’t use you too? She already is.”
** Season Nine sees him take a similar stance towards Valkyrie who, in the same vein as Bangalore, has a growing friendship with Loba. [[spoiler: And as a comic revealed during Season Nine, Revenant is keeping a close eye on both Bangalore and Valkyrie, [[RevengeByProxy have decided to murder the woman that Loba falls in love with]]]].
--> '''Revenant''' (When reviving Valkyrie): "I'd let you die, ''but we're just beginning to bond.''"
* TokenEvilTeammate: Shares this with Caustic, the other sociopathic legend in the lineup.
* TorturedMonster: Revenant in a nutshell, no matter which world he’s in.
--> '''Shadow Revenant''' (when respawning as a Shadow in the Shadowfall LTM): "Dying after death. Welcome to my life."
--> '''Revenant''' (kill quip): “You should thank me. You can rest now... I never will.”
* UnwillingRoboticisation: There’s a good reason why Revenant hates Hammond Robotics.
* VillainsOutShopping: Season 13 shows him attending Bangalore's retirement party in the drop ship. Though he's at the bar, brooding to himself instead of partaking in festivities, so is Bangalore.
* VillainsNeverLie: While Revenant does act AxCrazy a great deal of the time, he is usually honest when he talks to others, but tends to [[BreakThemByTalking weaponize uncomfortable truths]] against those he doesn’t want to murder yet. Usually this is [[ForTheEvulz just for kicks]], but he also does this when he wants to make his chosen victim(s) more vulnerable. For example, in the “Apex Legends: Pathfinder’s Quest” book, [[spoiler: Revenant managed to convince Pathfinder he was the one who murdered all the scientists - likely including his creator - by pointing out several facts he couldn’t disprove at the time. And while he knew the facts didn’t prove he was the culprit for sure, Revenant also pointed out Pathfinder couldn’t prove his innocence because he had [[AmnesiacHero forgotten everything about that time]] and was strong enough to murder an entire group of humans with ease. [[HeroicBSOD This broke poor Pathfinder’s will to find out the truth for a while]], much to Revenant’s amusement]].
* WasOnceAMan: The Season Four cinematic launch trailer starts with Revenant shaving before going on a mission. After finishing off Marcos Andrade (his target) and a room full of his guards, he noticed there was a shard of glass stuck in his neck, yet he wasn't bleeding. That's when his programming broke down and he realized he was a simulacrum all along. It remains ambiguous if Revenant’s mind is truly Kaleb Cross’s back from the dead, or a simple copy of a dead hitman’s mind turned into programming, [[GoMadFromTheRevelation but either way it didn’t settle well with Revenant at all]].
** The Season Five cinematic launch trailer revealed Revenant’s organic head still exists: his brain is his [[WetwareCPU control center’s origin]].
* WetwareCPU: In the Season Five cinematic launch trailer some of Revenant’s spare bodies were showcased, and revealed that his organic head is his control center. Loba attempted to exploit this weakness, but failed, and instead activated defense mechanisms which transported the head to a new location.
* WhatHaveIBecome: In the cinematic trailer for Season Four he had a case of this upon discovering he was a simulacrum the entire time. He roared in anger, then proceeded to smash the glass reflecting him.
* WhiteMaskOfDoom: Simulacra are known in-universe to adorn their bodies with accessories which display their original human personality. In Revenant's case, he wears a white mask which resembles the face of a skull, a reminder of the fact he assassinated/murdered a great deal of people even before he became a simulacrum.[[/folder]]

* CoolOldGuy: Even at 63, Ballistic is still a respected gunfighter who can compete in the Apex games against contested half his age.

* {{Immortality}}: See BodyBackUpDrive above. To get an idea of how much Revenant hates it, see AndIMustScream above.

[[folder:Bangalore]]
!Anita Williams -- Bangalore
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/apex_grid_tile_legends_bangalorepngadaptcrop16x9_7.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350: [[OldSoldier Professional Soldier]]]]
-->''"Name the weapon -- I'll still beat you."''
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/EricaLuttrell (English), Anna Kiseleva (Russian)

Bangalore used to be one of the IMC's top footsoldiers, always topping her military classes. After the Battle of Gridiron during the twilight years of the Frontier War, while travelling through space, a part of her ship's hull exploded and threatened to suck her out onto the surface of the planet Solace, but the one who ultimately fell was her brother, Jackson. To try and find him, as well as raise funds to get a ticket back to Gridiron -- and to her family -- Bangalore joined the Apex Games.

Bangalore is a good all-round soldier who doesn't particularly excel in any area, but makes up for any shortcomings with her great utility and wide variety of skills. Her tactical ability fires a grenade from her ''[[SmokeOut Smoke Launcher]]'', which creates a smokescreen that can be used for sneaking up on enemies, reviving downed allies, or simply for making a quick getaway. Her passive ability, ''[[ReflexiveResponse Double Time]]'', gives her a temporary speed boost whenever she is hit (or nearly hit) by enemy attacks. Finally, her ultimate ability, ''[[DeathFromAbove Rolling Thunder]]'', has her call in an artillery strike to rain down explosive missiles on an area of the battlefield.

* BadassBaritone: He has a [[EvilSoundsDeep deep]], [[EvilSoundsRaspy raspy]] voice, and was a professional hitman capable of [[OneManArmy taking on a full room of guards on his own]].

* BadassBookworm: In "The Truth" cinematic, Ashleigh is addressed by one of the Apex Predator mercenaries as "Commander Reid", indicating her prowess in combat as well as science.

* {{Ninja}}: She's almost constantly hooded, wields a katana, is able to teleport, her Arc Snare can be analagous to a throwing star, her kit encourages underhanded, unscrupulous tactics like ambushes and trapping, and she's extremely efficient in combat. Fitting, as Pilots were very ninja-like in ''Titanfall 2'', and even moreso for Ash for being the original Apex Predators' resident {{Ronin}} Titan Pilot.

* OrnamentalWeapon: ZigzaggedTrope; her sword is used only for her finishers and ultimate from the view of whoever is playing as her, with her melee option being normal punches and kicks. From an actual third-person view, however, Ash uses her sword when the player presses the melee button.

* PsychoElectro: Ruthlessly sociopathic, and her Tactical and Ultimate abilities both have associated electric effects on them.

* YouWillNotEvadeMe: Her tactical ability, the Arc Snare.

* OffModel:
** ''The First Ship'' portrays her with normal human feet, instead of the curved metal, prosthetic-like robot legs she's shown with pre- and post-redesign, as well as lacking visible lips.
** Her appearance in the Season 9 trailer uses a model that is neither her ''Titanfall 2'' appearance nor her ''Apex'' redesign, though borrows some obvious elements such as the glowing pupils and wider hood from the latter.

* FateWorseThanDeath: Upon learning he wasn’t a human - instead a simulacrum - Revenant panicked upon the realization [[WhoWantsToLiveForever he had technical immortality that he never wanted]]. To make matters worse the Season Four loading screen, “Lies,” revealed that Revenant’s programming makes him feel pain every time his body was destroyed and it mimicked how a normal person would’ve felt that pain. For example, if a person stabbed a knife through his chassis then his programming made him feel the stabbing wound a normal human would. Considering there was no need for Revenant to feel pain at all implies his creator(s) did so to spite and/or sadistically torture him. Upon this discovery, the combined pain of every single instance Revenant “died” before learning he wasn’t human crashed into his mind all at once.

* AGodAmI: A rare averted example for a [[TheSociopath sociopathic character]]. During the Season Five “Broken Ghost” storyline, [[spoiler: an [[TheMole unknown person]] tipped off to Revenant that the other legends were plotting against him, leading to his discovery of the Shadowfall Universe - a place where that universe’s Revenant - known as Shadow Revenant by the others - considers himself that Outland’s God, something the mole wanted the main universe Revenant to discover as well as act upon. Instead, he had zero interest in becoming the “King of the Skin Suits” and told Loba to her face there was a mole helping his cause as well as sabotaging the other legend’s goals. The legends believed they were finding artifacts to limit Revenant’s power, but Loba was discovered to by lying as well: she was gathering them for Hammond Robotics in exchange for the coordinates to Revenant’s “source code” - his [[AchillesHeel organic head]] whose mind and personality is derived from posthumously - which makes him immortal via inserting his mind into a new simulacrum body while it’s still intact. If she could destroy it, he would die and stay dead, something she desired as part of her revenge against her parent’s murderer in the past. Despite this, Revenant helped the other legends on some of the missions to track down the artifacts, [[CardCarryingJerkass all the while taunting them outside of the missions]] and [[{{Narcissist}} making every effort possible to get attention towards himself]]]].
** After the final Season Five “Broken Ghost” PVE mission ends, [[spoiler: the reason why Revenant helped the legends became clear: He wanted to die, having lived a [[WhoWantsToLiveForever tortured life with technical immortality against his will]], only to become excited when he discovered that Loba had the potential to track down as well as destroy his [[WetwareCPU organic head]] after she almost succeeded during the Season Five trailer. He was willing to help Loba if she would continue her mission to destroy him because his programming [[ICannotSelfTerminate prevents him from harming his own source code]], but as of Season Seven she betrayed him by instead sending his organic head through a phase runner heading towards the planet Gridiron, which destroyed this partnership and enraged Revenant. In the end, he swore revenge against her by [[RevengeByProxy threatening to murder as well as destroy everyone and everything she cared about]]]].

* DiscOneNuke: At the start the game where most players don't have decent gear, charged ultimates, or possibly even any ammo, ''Knuckle Cluster'' gives Fuse a lot of extra damage that other legends forced to fight with whatever they can find might not be able to keep up with, making him one of the more dangerous legends to face on drop.

Fuse is a demolitons expert whose abilities all revolve around dealing damage and blowing stuff up. His tactical ability is the ''[[RecursiveAmmo Knuckle Cluster]]'', which fires a cluster bomb that continuously expels airbust explosives on impact. His passive ability, ''[[ItemCaddy Grenadier]]'', doubles his carrying capacity for grenades, as well as letting him fire them faster, further, and more accurately than any other legend. Finally, his ultimate ability is ''[[FireBreathingWeapon The Motherlode]]'', which creates a ring of fire to entrap foes, causing damage to any who try to pass through the flames and highlighting all enemies within its radius for Fuse and his team.

* TheAce: As a combat-certified Titan Pilot, she's received TrainingFromHell par excellence, and her demeanor suggests that she wouldn't allow her skills to atrophy. Narratively, she's also one of the stronger characters too; the Season 11 launch trailer gives her one of the highest on-screen unassisted kill counts versus the other Legends in a single trailer[[note]]The only one who exceeds hers is Crypto in the Season 3 launch trailer, which isn't comparable in how it appears to be a montage over the course of multiple Apex Games sessions while the Season 11 trailer is a singular continuous plot[[/note]], and the Season 11 in-game story has her utterly trounce anyone in her way, primarily with her sword and Arc Snare while her opponents use guns. The only time someone successfully defies her in said story is [[spoiler:in a timely intervention by Leigh when Horizon confronts her the second time, and Leigh's continued influence after]], and even so it amounts to more of an annoyance to her plans than an actual setback.

* {{Homage}}: Revenant’s debut in the Season Four launch trailer could be one to the opening scenes of ''Film/GhostInTheShell''.

* WhiteMaskOfDoom: Simulacra are known in-universe to adorn their bodies with accessories which display their original human personality.
