History Characters / Dishonored2

* AmbiguouslyBi: If they're a woman and attracted to Emily.

* NiceGuy: Whatever gender they are, they come off as decent and sweet in their letters to Emily.

[[folder: Alexandria Hypatia]]

[[folder: Breanna Ashworth]]

[[folder: Armando (minor spoilers)]]

[[folder: Aramis Stilton]]

[[folder: Dr. Vasco]]

[[folder: Mortimer Ramsey]]

[[folder: Alexi Mayhew]]

[[folder: Paolo]]

* AmbiguousGender: Their gender is left unknown. This is intentional as per WordOfGod; they saw Emily as bisexual and thus Wyman can be either a man or a woman according to the player's preference.

* FailedASpotCheck: While he will be alerted if he finds dead or unconscious bodies of guards, missing guards, corpses, fruit or glasses or corpses laying in different positions don’t seem to tip him off that Emily/Corvo escaped.

* SealedRoomIntheMiddleOfNowhere: Defeating him nonlethally involves locking him inside Dunwall Tower's saferoom, which cannot be opened without an imperial signet ring (which you promptly take from him). Fortunately, he has a month's worth of food rations and access to the Tower's plumbing for water. [[spoiler:He's eventually found by Delilah, who has the other signet ring, but she [[TakenForGranite turns him into a statue]] for failing to stop the player.]]

* AndIMustScream: Defeating him nonlethally involves locking him inside Dunwall Tower's saferoom, which cannot be opened without an imperial signet ring (which you promptly take from him). Fortunately, he has a month's worth of food rations and access to the Tower's plumbing for water. [[spoiler: Its then [[ZigZaggingTrope zig-zagged]] cruelly: He's rescued because Delilah has the other signet ring, but she promptly [[TakenForGranite turns him into a statue]] for failing to stop the player.]]

* GoMadFromTheIsolation: If you lock him in the safe, you can later find a journal he kept while imprisoned. He starts out calm, patiently waiting for his allies to release him and keeping focused by exercising frequently. By the end, he's desperately begging Delilah to let him out and promising to grovel before her will still performing exercises for her amusement.

* TemptingFate: He jokes with his men that if he doesn't return, he most likely accidentally locked himself in Emily's safe room. Turns out, Emily or Corvo can do just that...

* TakenForGranite: [[spoiler:If he's left alive, when you return to Dunwall Tower in the final stage you can find him as a statue]]. It's pretty clear [[YouHaveFailedMe why that happened.]]

* VillainBall: Sure, Ramsey, lock your resentful and rebellious prisoner in their own rooms. It's not like they'd ever use their considerable physical skills to, say, ''climb out the unlocked windows.'' Granted, it could be argued that he doesn't know about Emily's training--no excuses to do so with Corvo, however.

* TurnedOnTheirMasters: Using a rewire tool on them will cause them to attack the player's foes, including Jindosh himself in his lab. Rendering them blind by decapitating them will also cause them to go berserk, attacking everything they hear.

* HasTwoDaddies: His father, Theodanis, was the lover of [[spoiler:Aramis Stilton]], who acted as a father-figure to the young Luca. In adulthood, Luca even cares for the [[spoiler:insane Aramis out of a sense of "familial" obligation]]. Luca's mother was a prominent society figure, but she died in accident when relatively young before she could influence her son's life much.

* RefugeInAudacity: [[spoiler: Claims to be the real Duke once he has the Duke's medallion of office. The reaction of the officer in the responding guard retinue is implied to be less belief than willingness to go along with it since the real Abele was a hated tyrant.]]

* GenderNeutralWriting: How they are referred, exception of a typo made in ''The Corroded Man'', where Wyman was accidentally referred to as a 'he'.
** The grammar of some dialogue in the French and Italian translations of the game also seems to assume Wyman is male.

* HourglassPlot: Invoked in his non-lethal elimination. [[spoiler: If the non-lethal solution is pursued, Armando sits on Karnaca's throne as the Duke while the real Duke Luca Abele gets thrown into the insane asylum as the presumed body double caught taking the role too seriously.]]

-->''This is quite amusing to record. This playback should trigger in case the machine detects my own lifeless body!''

* OneToManyToOne: Paolo's void artifact causes him to dissolve into a swarm of white rats upon suffering a fatal blow, and he reforms back in his bedroom none the worse for wear. [[spoiler:It's the withered hand of Granny Rags, who also possessed this power.]]

* AlwaysABiggerFish: Should the player kill Paolo in the Lower Aventa alley during the mission to Jindosh's mansion, he frets about this assailant in a journal you can find in the Howler's Dust District headquarters even though his AutoRevive saved him, partly (or wholly) because of the brazen attack was actually successful, partly (possibly) because otherworldly means were used by the player in assailing him.

* FriendlyNeighborhoodGangster: He and the Howlers have this reputation at least in their territory of the Batista Mining District. Emily and Corvo are dismayed at this until Billie explains to them that they are basically the only real alternative to the corrupt Grand Guard, the fanatic Overseers, and the Witches.

* PetTheDog: He's been known to help blind people cross the street, then murder a barrister on the same day.
* PragmaticVillainy: As mentioned by the Outsider, despite Paolo's use of a Void relic to grant himself supernatural power, he's a pragmatic skeptic and not a fanatical Void worshipper like Delilah or Granny Rags. He uses the relic because it works, not because he has any interest in the Outsider or the Void's power.
* ProtectiveCharm: His artifact, which is [[spoiler:Granny Rags' hand]], turns him into a swarm of rats the first time anyone tries to kill him on a given day.

* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: At least from his view. Although nobility are usually left alone by the Abbey (like how Vera Moray was sent to a mental hospital instead of being burned) he's not above investigating suspicious supernatural activity in the Royal Conservatory.

* HundredPercentAdorationRating: [[spoiler:If he rules as Duke (in Low Chaos), he is largely beloved, with people overlooking his massive change in personality.]]

* HundredPercentAdorationRating: With the exception of some nameless nobles who mock him for his low-class background, absolutely everyone loves Stilton; many of the logs in his mansion are from people praising him. Even Luca Abele, despite grumbling about him, does seem to care enough to listen to him and to care for him when he's incapacitated.

* AxCrazy: Her "Grim Alex" persona is a violent psychotic that spends her time smashing things up or gruesomely murdering people.

* JackTheRipoff: [[spoiler: The Crown Killer/Grim Alex.]]
* JekyllAndHyde: [[spoiler:The good, kindly Doctor Hypatia, and the violent, cannibalistic Crown Killer. The Heart specifically notes that Grim Alex grows from the repression and sense of spite, that Hypatia's compassionate nature generally holds back, and that it's an outlet for the hedonistic excess that her commitment to work has kept under control]].

* NoSell: She is immune to the sleep darts and chokeholds [[spoiler:because attacking her brings out her SuperpoweredEvilSide. Grim Alex is also immune to both thanks to her super strength. She also is immune to Stun Mines and though knocked down by nonlethal air assassinations, is able to get right back up with no trouble at all]].

* TragicVillain: She was turned into a killer against her will.

* TheTheocracy: [[spoiler:If Paolo is eliminated and Duke Abele is killed, Byrne makes himself Duke of Karnaca, granting the Abbey of the Everyman total control of the isle.]]

* [[NiceGuy Nice Guy/Girl]]: Whatever gender they are, they come off as decent and sweet in their letters to Emily.

* [[NiceGuy Nice Girl]]: To the extent that it seems too good to be true. It is, but not in the way you might think.

* CurbStompBattle: The handful of them Delilah brought with her to Dunwall were capable of turning the tide against a huge Overseer army that tried to retake the tower, for a very simple reason -- [[OutsideContextProblem Not being powered by void magic]], they were immune to the music boxes the Overseers relied upon to counter the witchcraft of Delilah's coven.

* ObviousBeta: InUniverse. Most of their dialogue indicates it's "test" dialogue, and Jindosh is constantly figuring out ways to improve them overall. There are also stories of noble-owned Clockwork Soldiers that have obviously not had all the bugs worked out. A lady who bought one had the soldier cut a family of burglars to shreds, but it also took out her gardener and left her lawn covered in dismembered corpses. A message handed out to the Grand Guard also indicates there have been... "incidents"... that require specific instructions to avoid being repeated.

* BullyingADragon: In either of Emily or Corvo's cases, he should know full well by then that they underwent hellish experiences that only made them more deadly due to surviving them, and yet he remains ever a [[SmugSnake smug snake]], the only keen advantage he has are his Clockwork Soldiers, but even those can be easily dismantled with proper preparation. Needless to say, he shits his shorts once you're about to corner him and even becomes hysterical when you're about to do the [[FateWorseThanDeath non-lethal option]] to him.

* FailedASpotCheck: While he will be alerted if he finds Emily or dead or unconscious bodies of guards, he won’t be suspicious if he finds guards missing, or Alexi or the maid’s corpses missing or in different positions or fruit or glasses missing on his trip to the safe room.

* KarmicDeath: If she is chosen as the player character, Emily is shortly after treated to [[spoiler:the sight of Ramsey stabbing her childhood friend Alexi in the stomach]]. If Emily takes Ramsey on in a swordfight afterwards, she will kill him with that very sword.
