Sarah Parker's direct superior in the first game, and a high-ranking official in the Crayven Corporation.
----
* AmbiguouslyBrown: In ''Ground Control'' she has a notably darker skin color compared to other characters.
* AgeLift / RaceLift: She looks much older and paler in ''Dark Conspiracy'' compared to the main game.
* BigBadDuumvirate: Forms one with [[spoiler:Cardinal Aegiri]] in the climax of the Order campaign.
* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] by her in ''Dark Conspiracy.'' She takes advantage of [[spoiler: her knowledge of Jarred Stone's location to weasel her way out of Parker killing her.]]
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Fits this trope to a T.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In the briefing for the very first Crayven mission, she expresses annoyance at Parker for being 8 minutes late, and gives her less forces than requested (one squad as opposed to three) due to it "not being financially viable" before casually dismissing the Major before leaving to attend a staff meeting.
* FauxAffablyEvil: She rarely raises the tone of her voice, yet it's obvious she's only interested in the results, and not the casualties taken to achieve those results.
* KarmaHoudini: Despite her actions in the main game and the expansion, she gets away scot-free.
* ManipulativeBitch: See CantKillYouStillNeedYou above.
* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:She herself ends up manipulated by [[TheManBehindTheMan M]].]]

----
* AMotherToHerMen: One of her main problems with Crayven authority is their casual disregard for their troops' wellbeing.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: She caused no shortage of headaches to her superiors with her regular insubordination and attitude, but since her combat record is very impressive, they keep her employed.
* DeadpanSnarker: There's barely a single mission where she doesn't have a sarcastic quip during briefing.
* FirstNameBasis: [[{{Jerkass}} Major]] [[SociopathicSoldier Dwight]] [[TheDragon Thomas]] called her by her first name in a cutscene and a few times in-game. She has consistently returned the favor throughout the whole game since the first instance, her voice dripping with sarcasm each time.
* ImportantHaircut: During ''Ground Control'' she has her hair in a neat ponytail. In ''Dark Conspiracy'', her hair is loose, nearly shoulder-length and messy, to show she's gone rogue.
* KnightInSourArmor: She may be sarcastic, dry-witted and disrespectful at times, but she's always willing to do the right thing.
* MajorlyAwesome: She's a Major, and has kicked a lot of ass in the game and in her [[AllThereInTheManual backstory.]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: Judging from her appearance in briefings and cutscenes (like the one to the right) you'd be forgiven for thinking she was in her early 20s. Instead, according to the game manual, she's 35.
* PlayerCharacter: In the First game and its expansion.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Has a habit of doing this, which often leads to her clashing with her superiors.
* SnarkKnight: See DeadpanSnarker above.
