History Characters / DiscoElysiumTheDockworkersUnion

* DirtyCoward: [[spoiler:Keep the mercenary tribunal talking long enough and Shanky gets antsy and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere runs off]]. The survivors swear to track him down and MakeAnExampleOfHim.]]

* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler: If he runs away during the tribunal, the surviving Hardie Boys promise to track him down and [[MakeAnExampleOfHim punish him for his cowardice.]] Nothing further is revealed about his fate, but his odds don't look good.]]

* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler: If he runs away during the tribunal, the surviving Hardie Boys promise to track him down and punish him for his cowardice.]]

* {{Leitmotif}}: "Your Body Betrays Your Degeneracy".

* NeighbourhoodFriendlyGangsters: Evrart wants the citizens of Martinaise to view the Union as this despite their their morally-sketchy behavior. [[spoiler:For what it's worth, the Claires genuinely ''have'' done a lot of good work on Martinaise's behalf. They've bargained for better wages and benefits for the local workers, they established a community watch in the form of the Hardie Boys to make up for the RCM's decades-long absence, and they have big plans to renovate the poorer parts of town (although they're willing to expel people in the the fishing village to make this happen). Even their involvement in the drug trade has had a net positive effect on Martinaise, as they ensured that it stays regulated as much as they can.]]

* ChivalrousPervert: Has a warped respect for women.

* BatmanGambit: [[spoiler:Evrart openly shares his and his brother's plan to perform a forcible takeover of the habor with you, including the fact that the Union is refusing to back down, no matter how much violent force Wild Pines is going to bring down upon them if they try to do this. What Evrart doesn't tell you, however, is that he is actually banking on you to still be a good cop at heart, despite all your personal defects and problems, and that you therefore are going to be appropriately horrified of the idea of how many lives could be lost in a bloody confrontation, so that you will be motivated to warn Joyce about it. Joyce, in turn, is a by-and-large HonestCorporateExecutive and overall ReasonableAuthorityFigure and will therefore be similarly unwilling to throw a lot of lives away over profit, leading her to decide to cut her losses and backing down without a fight, thereby leaving the Union to take over the harbor without firing a shot.]] Ultimately though, [[spoiler:it is unknown whether or not Evrart had accounted for the Krenel Mercenaries going rogue and instigating violence on their own. You never get a chance to ask him, because the harbor goes on lockdown after the Tribunal]].

->[[spoiler:Titus Hardie : "Easy, Lizzie..." ''His voice is almost gentle.'' "Let me handle it. I know guys like this. I'm sure we can come to a peaceful agreement. Ain't that right, fellas?"]]
->[[spoiler:Authority : He is facing overwhelmingly superior firepower, and he knows it.]]

* GutturalGrowler: Titus' voice in ''The Final Cut'' version is notably more raspy than in the original version.

* InsistentTerminology: '''AL GUL''' (alcohol) is at the root of the decline of the '''HAM SANDWICH RACE''' (white people). Measurehead himself is the pinnacle of '''HAPLOGROUP [=A4A=]''' (people from the Semenine Isles), who will replace them as the master race... according to him, anyway.

* SmugStraightEdge: Doesn't pollute his body with drugs, tobacco, or "'''AL GUL'''" (''alcohol'' -- [[GeniusBonus a play off the older Arabic word for the substance, 'al-khul', 'body-eating spirit', which shares a root with the English 'ghoul']]), although he does have lots of sex with his women. Also possibly StraightEdgeEvil depending on how 'evil' you find him, [[spoiler:given that he is an unrepentant fascist but otherwise not involved in the murder.]]

* BigBrotherIsWatching: Evrart has the entirety of Martinaise bugged, tapped, and under surveillance. Anyone and everyone is potentially feeding him information. That includes [[spoiler:Joyce's yacht]]. [[spoiler:After the Tribunal he'll even scramble all your attempts to report the shootout to your HQ, not wanting the RCM to intrude on his attempt to consolidate power]].

* ChummyCommies: The Claires are eager to build themselves up this way, and inspire seemingly genuine loyalty among the Union.

* ColdHam: Even though Measurehead is calm and [[IncrediblyLamePun measured]] when he speaks, he has a penchant for poetic and grandiose language. Additionally, all of his dialogue is delivered in [[SelfDemonstrating/CapsLock ALL CAPS]], implying that despite the flat delivery, he speaks with a loud, booming voice.

* SubParSupremacist: Zigzagged as he is aware that most racists are usually poor representation of their race, so he built himself to fit his ideology of the superior Semenese. However, like the other racists in the game, his InsaneTrollLogic and hypocrisy makes him look like a simpleton, no matter how eloquent he tries to be. His rant on potatoes in particular is difficult to take seriously.

* TheLoinsSleepTonight: Another part of his bizarre philosophical beachheads is that men should only reproduce "spiritually" as mentor figures for the next generation (who would produce it, if not the men, he declines to think about). To that end, he has joined a community of promiscuous males who nonetheless train their bodies to not ejaculate while inside a woman. And if he should slip up, he knows where all the abortion clinics are.

* BadassGrandpa: He's a seasoned and formidable combatant despite his old age. [[spoiler: It's said after the tribunal that he went down fighting despite his age.]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AmberJanellePutnam

->'''Voiced by:''' Music/DizzyDros

* GiantMook: The largest character in the game other than FatBastard Evrart, able to essentially hold off an entire crowd of scabs unarmed and without any backup.

* DirtyCommunists: A common perspective on the Claire Brothers and the Union as a whole is that they're simply using communism as a prop and are actually closer to a crime syndicate. [[spoiler:A closer examination of Evrart, and by extension Edgar's motivations, seems to indicate that he genuinely does hold at least some socialist ideals, especially when it comes to harboring a massive grudge against the wealthy liberal elite for what they did to Revachol and its people.]]

* AffablyEvil: Evrart never loses his chummy tone, even when straight-out asked why he's so fat or when calling Harry a son of a bitch.

* AGoodWayToDie: [[spoiler:After his death, Titus mentions Theo loathed the idea of dying of old age in a bed, and it's said he charged at the mercs fearlessly during the tribunal. He's also noticeably the only one that believes the detective is suicidal if you try to threaten to shoot yourself in the head.]]

* WhatTheHellHero?: While asking about the investigation and her relation to Klaasje, you can dwell way too long on her sexuality and ask immature questions about being a lesbian; both Ruby and Kim are audible in their shared disappointment with you.

* AlasPoorVillain: She's a career criminal who has no compunctions about blasting you senseless with a radio-based pale/sound weapon, but what she ultimately is is a lonely and scared woman with a hard life who wanted to help the person she loves. Failing to stop her suicide feels ''really'' bad -- in-game it causes Morale damage.

* BuxomBeautyStandard: They will often talk about a prostitute called Monica, and compliment her on her apparently enormous "[[GagBoobs milkers]]".

* HandCannon: If you manage to sufficiently provoke Titus, he will attempt to intimidate you and Kim into backing off by showing that he is carrying a gun under his vest. Your Hand-Eye Coordination can potentially recognize it as an Ister 50. It further comment, with no shortage of awe, that it is a "Zsiemsk-made monstrosity" that is easily capable of blowing your head clean off.
