History Characters / Doom2016UACAndARC

* OhCrap: The near-entirety of the ARC staff on board the carrier in ''The Ancient Gods Pt. 1'' decide to pull a swift [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere evacuation]] once they see that [[spoiler:the Doom Slayer hasn't brought the Father's life sphere back, but the ''Dark Lord'''s.]] Far as they know, it's the EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt the instant they realize this. The only person that sticks around is the Intern below.

* AuthorityGrantsAsskicking: [[spoiler:As the Father, he was the creator of the multiverse as well as the one who originally defeated the Dark Lord aeons ago.]] Even with the revelation [[spoiler:he was actually an impostor who usurped Father's power and title, that doesn't make him any less powerful back before he departed the physical realm]].

* MeaningfulAppearance: [[spoiler:Her becoming the Spider Mastermind is very poetic - she made a DealWithTheDevil for power and godhood and betrayed her own people just for that. But she didn't really consider how demons, in general, see humanity ([[TheDreaded save for the Slayer himself]]) as mere ''insects''. Instead of the healthy, all-powerful goddess she hoped she would be, she became a highly intelligent albeit grotesque, demonic beast whose appearance echoes that of a spider, referring to her sins, and being left by the demons she sided with to be put down like a rabid animal]].

* IronicName: [[spoiler:Despite his name being {{Satan}}-like, he is strongly opposed to letting the demons conquer our world, even as he draws from theirs to stop an energy crisis and becomes appalled after learning where the energy he sought comes from.]]

* BigBadSlippage: [[spoiler:In ''The Ancient Gods'', Samuel - or ''Samur'' - at first places his bets on the Doom Slayer getting The Father's life sphere to grant him physical form and save Urdak from the demons...unfortunately the Slayer betrays him by getting the ''Dark Lord'''s sphere instead, seeking to banish demonkind back to Hell entirely. He even spitefully crushes The Father's sphere in front of Samur - and the next time the two meet is when Samur becomes the FinalBoss.]]

The Armored Response Coalition is a military organization founded by the Allied Nations and Dr. Samuel Hayden to fight the Hell invasion. They appear in ''DOOM Eternal''.

** [[spoiler:He does it one final time in ''The Ancient Gods: Part One'' when he returns to his original Seraphim body. It also turns out that he had previously transferred from ''that'' body into a human one before ''DOOM (2016)'', only for it to cause a LossOfIdentity that led him to keep transferring to new bodies in an attempt to recover his full identity and knowledge.]]

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: The reason for his changing priorities over ''DOOM'' and ''Eternal'' was that he had lost certain important memories. [[spoiler:Specifically, his human and later cyborg bodies were only able to slowly process his full Maykr memories as Samur, leaving him with large swaths of HigherTechSpecies knowledge but unclear on his original identity and allegiances for decades on end. With the destruction of his cyborg body in ''Eternal'', these memory faculties seem to be flooding back to him as evidenced by his surprisingly in-depth knowledge of the Khan Maykr's plans. By the time he returna to being Samur he has full clarity once again, though this would then pit him and the Slayer at odds with each other.]]

* RedBaron: According to the ''DOOM Eternal'' Collector Edition's Lore Book, he's known and reviled by the demons as the "Lucent Defiler".

* {{Foreshadowing}}: ''DOOM (2016)'' notes that "it is rumoured that VEGA's core is powered by a piece of arcane technology found near the Argent Fracture." Come ''Eternal'' [[spoiler:it's revealed he is in fact the lost [[DeusEstMachina A.I. god]] of the Maykrs.]]

A global military crisis-relief initiative formed by the Allied Nations to combat the Hell invasion, the Armored Response Coalition fought hard to protect Earth against the demonic hordes, but are on the brink of collapse by the start of ''DOOM Eternal''.

* {{Cameo}}: A statue of her appears briefly in the Nekravol level of ''Eternal''. Naturally, you have to destroy it for progression.

* MrExposition: Hayden turns into this for the later parts of ''Doom Eternal'' where he frequently explains to the Doom Slayer plot-related fact and other lore. [[spoiler:This includes information he couldn't ''possibly'' know if he were a normal human being or even a Night Sentinel, giving hints to his own identity in the course of the exposition itself.]]

* SmugSnake: Grows into this after returning to his original form of [[spoiler: Samur Maykr]]. Becoming more arrogant and so blinded by his ego The Doom Slayer pulls off a gambit right under his nose while an Intern figures out his plan in mere seconds.

[[folder:Abraham Peters]]

* KilledOffScreen: He's killed between the events of ''2016'' and ''Eternal'' during the failed Operation Hellbreaker and when you meet him again, he's missing [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe the bottom half of his boody]] and an arm. While his robotic brain is saved, ARC scientists haven't managed to revive him. He's eventually brought back to life as his mind his transferred into the Fortress of Doom's network.

* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler:His first human body was a cloned body that Samur transferred his consciousness into]]. * BadBoss: It's not clear how much of a hand he had in drafting the UAC's more sinister policies on Mars (a seven-day workweek, deliberately sacrificing workers to demons simply to acquire better data, etc.), but it's implied that he at least willingly turned a blind eye to it. Even during the Mars outbreak, he is rather cavalier about the deaths of his employees, admitting responsibility but expressing zero remorse, as he deems the UAC's energy extraction WorthIt. [[EveryoneHasStandards To his credit]], [[spoiler:he does draw the line at the industrial-scale planetary genocide that is required to create Argent Energy in the first place.]]

* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler:His first human body was a cloned body that Samur transferred his consciousness into]].
* AuthorityGrantsAsskicking: Leader of the UAC and doubtlessly its strongest fighter, thanks to his cybernetic body. He's the only person other than the Doom Slayer to survive a trip to Hell and back. In ''Eternal'', it's revealed that he personally led the forces of humanity in battle wielding the Crucible, though this worked out less than perfectly, with him essentially on life support and missing several limbs by the time the Doom Slayer takes him away.

* LouisCypher: [[spoiler:Samuel Hayden > [[LouisCypher S. Hayden]] > {{Satan}}, meaning someone who turned against Heaven. However, as ''Eternal'' shows, this just means he's ''more'' trustworthy, given "Heaven" is in league with Hell. It also signifies his status as the Seraphim who "fell" by turning on Khan Maykr and also an actual demon who turned against the Father along with his race and cast him down, branding him as the Dark Lord.]]

--->'''Samuel:''' If stopping our energy production is what you want, then you need '''only''' to destroy this last filter, and Argent energy will no longer exist in this solar system... We will be back at square one.\\

'''Samuel:''' '''[[WhatTheHellHero You have no idea what you have just done]].'''

* ItsAllAboutMe: At the start of "The Ancient Gods", [[spoiler:he isn't as good as before and doesn't hide his selfishness and ego. He comments to the Slayer he should be humble in his quest to retrieve the Father's life sphere, and that Humanity owes everything to the Father and Samur, as they are Their creators. And even though he tells the Slayer that retrieving the Father's life sphere will save Earth and Urdak from the Demons, his main thought, later on, is that it will save him from his Transfiguration.]]
