History Characters / FrontMission1

** It's known that Kevin was a [[TheAce very capable military commander and wanzer pilot]], but he regularly got into troubles with his superiors due to his inability to be cold-hearted when making decisions. In fact, in USN Mission 2, his refusal to give the clearance to fire at the Star of Freedom's base (because [[LoveInterest Maria]]'s team was still inside) resulted in the terrorist group's leader having ample time to run away. This caused Kevin to get the demotion that would later bring him to the Huffman Island. Similar things happened multiple times during the story and was apparently the main reason why Kevin had difficulties getting promoted despite his competence. However...

** Kevin: [[spoiler: Driscoll planned to have Kevin used as "S-Type Device" materials (though fortunate for Kevin, he slipped away before Driscoll could go through with the plan). Kevin ended up being the person who gave Maria the courage to strike back at Driscoll]].

* SpikyHair: Keith's hairdo might be proof that anti-gravity technology existed in the Front Mission universe.

* NotSoStoic: Ryuji definitely got very emotional when [[spoiler: his older brother Koichi killed their father Reiji for trying to expose the BD Project (buildup to OCU Mission 28)]].

* AGodAmI: Showed signs of being this, [[spoiler: [[SubvertedTrope though it turned out]] Driscoll was the one truly in control and Driscoll's wrath scared Koichi to death]].

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: No mention of Brown was made after [[spoiler: the battle at Longrivers Island (OCU Mission 30)]]. [[spoiler:Seeing that he's a member of Grimnir, it's likely that ''someone'' had been arranged to come pick him up from Rupidis Airport, as he was done with getting the Crows to expose the great powers' atrocities]].

* TheLoad: He insisted to stay behind when [[spoiler: the Crows were about to take off from Rupidis Airport to go after Koichi Sakata (OCU Mission 29), arguing that he would only get in the Crows' ways]]. Seeing that [[spoiler: he's a member of Grimnir, it's likely this was simply an excuse, and he was in truth going to be picked up by ''someone'' (see WhatHappenedToTheMouse below)]].

[[spoiler: Dr. Gilmore later encountered Kevin Greenfield again in Beltchka, where Gilmore gave Laurent, who was eager to fight OCU forces, an experimental Type 90 (which used BD technology) to gather combat data. It ended with the Type 90 losing control and Laurent dying. After the fight that ensued, Gilmore attempted to poke around Laurent's machine, and was caught by the Silver Lynxes. Kevin and co. finally had enough and intimidated Gilmore into confiding to them about the BD Project and the truth of the Second Huffman Conflict. It inspired Kevin to embark on his quest to expose the truth]].

* DamselInDistress: Briefly in Mission 1. Karen was normally capable of handling herself, but when she saw what was going on inside the Larcus factory ([[spoiler:evidence of the BD Project]]), she briefly [[GoMadFromTheRevelation went into a state of severe psychological shock]], which allowed Driscoll's squad to completely catch her off-guard.

* SpikyHair: One could argue, Keith's hair was proof that anti-gravity technology existed in the Front Mission universe.

* SpikyHair: Keith had quite the set of spikes.

* TheEvilGenius: [[spoiler: Once served as this to the OCU]].

-->'''Gentz''' ([[spoiler:As he invited Royd to fully join him]]): [[spoiler: ... There's no one waiting for me, and nothing I really want. Except to make this island a place where people can live]].

* WesternTerrorist: A relatively benevolent one, as [[spoiler: he only targeted the Sakata Industries and explicitly told his followers to not harm civilians]]. [[spoiler: Royd accepted Gentz's invitation to fully join force during the epilogue]].

* TheFaceless: His face was never shown in the game proper, as he almost always wore a helmet that hid his face. The only time he wasn't masked was [[spoiler: during the ending sequence, where he took off his helmet as he invited Royd to fully join force with him. However, during the scene the players were viewing events unfold during a sunset, from the back of the characters, with the characters' figures all shadowed]].

* LivingLegend: Royd seemed to have become this as [[spoiler: he started fighting for Huffman Island nationalism (epilogue), seeing that he was spoken of as "the Hero of Huffman" during the events of ''2'', which took place about 10 years about ''1st'']].

* IllKillYou: Said this to Gentz Weizer after [[spoiler: the Crows routed the Spirit of Huffman at the latter's HQ (OCU Mission 22): Royd decided to spare Gentz, who told the Crows about the BD Project. The Crows weren't fully convinced, so Gentz pointed them to Nirvana Institute's factory, where evidence awaited. Royd decided to go investigate, but threatened to hunt down and kill Gentz if Gentz turned out to be lying]].

* MoreDakka: Assault-class. She was also still this when she appeared in ''5'''s arena.

* SinisterShades: In ''5'', he even got assigned onto the same team as Hermes and Thammond from ''4'', solely for the fact that they all wore some sort of spectacles.
