History Characters / BrothersInArms

* SilentAntagonist: He never utters a line in his two appearances, which serves to establish his status as a cold and amoral soldier.

* AllGermansAreNazis: Averted, He hates Nazi ideology.

* HeroKiller: [[spoiler: It's implied via a flashback by Baker that he's the one who killed George during the Events of Hill 30]]

* WeaponOfChoice: He prefers the M1 Garand in ''Road to Hill 30''. By ''Hell's Highway'', he switches to the BAR.

* WeaponOfChoice: The vast majority of their troops use the standard Kar 98 rifle, while their sergeants seldom use the MP 40.

* WeaponOfChoice: Of the German infantry units featured in all 3 games, theirs varies the most, depending on what unit they're assigned to.

* WeaponOfChoice: Like the Infanterie, they make use of a huge variety of weapons. However, the most unique and exclusive of these weapons in the FG-42 automatic rifle, which the vast majority of their troops field by ''Earned in Blood''.

* WeaponOfChoice: As stated above, they prefer automatic weapons like the STG-44 and MP 40. In terms of rifles, they prefer the semi-automatic Gewehr 43 as well as the Karabiner 98 kurz.

* WeaponOfChoice: He uses an MP 40 during his and his men's LastStand.

* AmbiguousDisorder: He is rather aloof, and seems to have trouble relating and socializing with other squad members, [[spoiler: even before Allen and Garnett's deaths.]] How much of this is his reaction to the war and his developing PTSD and how much is actually a possible social disorder is unknown.

* RareGuns: A mechanized unit of them carry STG 44s late in ''Earned in Blood''.

* RareGuns: They're the first German unit in ''Road to Hill 30'' to use the STG 44 assault rifle, and are the only troops to use the FG-42 rifle in ''Earned in Blood''.

* RareGuns: The're the soldiers that rely the most on the STG-44 assault rifles, as well as the Gewehr 43 sniper rifle in ''Hell's Highway''. Justified, since the weapon was often handed out to mechanized and/or elite units like them.

* TheVoiceless: Literally, [[spoiler: after the same artillery shell that killed Friar and wounded Baker and Hartsock also damages his throat.]]

* ThoseTwoGuys: With Sink.

* ShipTease: With Baker in the novelization. Several passages indicate she finds him attractive, and they have several bonding moments, but the circumstances of the war somewhat prevent any real romance from taking place. Still, it is implied at the end that Baker at least wants to write her a letter.

* WhatHappenedtotheMouse?: As mentioned below, he never appeared again after his debut, so it is impossible to tell wether he survived Operation Market Garden or not.

* YouAllLookFamiliar: A very mild example. He shares his head model with Friar.

* ThoseTwoGuys: When he does appear, it's always together with Sink.

* ActorAllusion: Not the first [[Series/BandOfBrothers Dale Dye played Sink]].

* HeroOfAnotherStory}}: He serves as this in "Earned in Blood".

A loud mouthed corporal from Kansas who serves as leader of Hartsock's assault team.[[spoiler:He is made leader of second squad after Hartsock is wounded.]]

A veteran paratrooper who gets reassigned to Baker's squad some time before Operation Market Garden, serving as part of Baker's assault team. A self described "English bastard of a rich father and a poor mother," his resentment of being the result of his [[DisappearedDad upper-class father]] [[UsefulNotes/ATouchOfClassEthnicityAndReligion slumming it with his not-so-rich mother]] led him to move to America and enlist in the US Army. He is a strong believer in fate and his superstitions have made him a loner in the group.[[spoiler:It is revealed that he met Leggett before he joined the squad and was told the truth of Allen and Garnett's deaths. He spends much of the third game trying to get Baker to confess the truth to the squad.]]

The commander of Baker's assault team and a friend of his since boot camp. He fights under Baker through Normandy and Operation Market Garden but their friendship is tested as the war continues, with Corrion believing he is ready to command his own squad but Baker feels he is not ready.[[spoiler:He is wounded in Holland and after learning that Baker hid the truth of Allen and Garnett's deaths from the squad he vows to never fight alongside Baker again, despite the former saving his life.]]

* ObligatoryWarCrimeScene: He has no regard for the Dutch civilians in the area, and shells them as well as the attacking Americans when the latter are capturing Son.

* {{Blackmail}}: He threatens Baker with [[spoiler:spilling the true circumstances of Allen's, Garnett's, and Leggett's deaths]] himself, and is only holding back on the reason that it's the Sergeant's job to reveal it and not him.

* JerkassHasAPoint: That said, his blackmailing towards Baker has some merit in that [[spoiler: not revealing what really happened to Allen and Garnett]] would break the trust between him (Baker), and the rest of his squad. His point is proven later when [[spoiler:Corrion]] is utterly disgusted at his actions, and as a result [[TookALevelInJerkass takes a level in jerkass]] towards Baker.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He may come off as an asshole towards Baker by figuratively rubbing salt in a wound the latter didn't have a good experience with, but his intentions are clearly for trust between Baker and the rest of his squad.

* DirtyCoward: Many of the other squad members believe him to be this due to his sensitivity and NonActionGuy status. [[spoiler: It only becomes worse after Allen and Garnett get killed, and everyone but Baker assumes he hid in the bushes and let the two die. In reality, the suddenness of the shootout caught him off guard and stunned him in place, and by the time he came to his senses, everyone but him was dead.]]
