History Characters / BioshockInfinite

* GatlingGood: Wield deadly Pepper Mill guns.

* WasOnceAMan: Ken Lavine hints that there is something [[TragicMonster very sad]] as to why they are in mechanical bodies.

* MeaningfulName: He could be named for the Comstock Lode mine in Nevada, which was for most of the 19th Century the richest vein of silver ore in North America; he could also be named after Anthony Comstock, moral crusader and postmaster general, who cracked down on "obscene" art and writings so hard and with such zeal (he credited himself with driving 15 artists/authors to suicide) that his name is synonymous for censorship even to this day.

* TheAntiChrist: The Founders, a very zealously Christian faction, refer to him as the "False Shepard". Given [[KnightTemplar what ideology the Founders hawk]], this should be taken with a grain of salt, and even if it's true-well, [[DarkIsNotEvil it's probably a good thing that Booker is morally disliked by them.]]

* BadassAbnormal: With Vigors and Nostrums.

** It also appears that Booker was at the Battle of Wounded Knee as well. How exactly this meshes with him being a former Pinkerton is... [[MultipleChoicePast questionable]], especially considering that if Wounded Knee was still in 1890 in the Bioshock Infinite-verse, he'd have to be 15 when he was present there. Which is a bit young for cavalry. Though its always possible that he might have lied about his age in order to join the military.
** He also had a wife that died in childbirth, and the child also died.

* AnimalMotifs: The Lamb, in Founders propaganda.

* {{Fingore}}: She's missing her pinkie finger on her right hand.

* OfCorsetsSexy: Elizabeth wears a corset outside her dress. While a corset is a period appropriate piece of clothing, it would commonly be worn as underwear rather than outerwear in that era, suggesting that it is for a bit of light {{fanservice}}
* OnlyOneName

* IronicNurseryRhyme: Inspired one about him: "Songbird, Songbird, see him fly, drop the children from the sky, when the young ones misbehave, escourts children to their grave."

* StalkerWithACrush: To Elizabeth, explicitly meant to have tones of an abusive relationship.

* MeaningfulName: He could be named for the Comstock Lode mine in Nevada, which was for most of the 19th Century the richest vein of silver ore in North America; he could also be named after Anthony Comstock, moral crusader and postmaster general, who cracked down on "obscene" art and writings so hard and with such zeal(he credited himself with driving 15 artists/authors to suicide), that his name is still synonymous for censorship even to this day.

** DarkMessiah: "The Lord forgives...but I'm just the Prophet. ''So I don't have to.''"
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: "Hero of Wounded Knee". See a description of that [[CurbStompBattle "battle"]] for why that kind of term isn't really accurate.

** DarkMessiah

* [[ScaryBlackDude Scary Black Lady]]

* FeaturelessProtagonist: Averted; unlike the previous protagonists in this series, he has a full name, an established personality, a consistent voice and a backstory.

* VoiceOfTheRevolution

** It also appears that Booker was at the Battle of Wounded Knee as well. How exactly this meshes with him being a former Pinkerton is... [[MultipleChoicePast questionable]], especially considering that if Wounded Knee was still in 1890 in the Bioshock Infinite-verse, he'd have to be 15 when he was present there.
