History Characters / Killer7

* DifficultButAwesome: Kevin's knives deal the least amount of damage out of all the weapons the Smiths wield, but the fact he is also the only one who doesn't have to reload ([[spoiler: Beside Mask, once you find his final mask upgrade]]) and has perfect aim means a player with good accuracy and reaction speeds can just mow down entire rooms of Smiles by striking their hit weakpoints and [[OneHitKill and taking them out in one shot]] one by one. As such, "Critical" for him is usually the OneStatToRuleThemAll alongside "Speed" to remove what little delay there is to his throws.

** Because he throws [[DeviousDaggers knives]] instead of using a gun, Kevin is the only Smith that doesn't need to reload (beside [[spoiler: Mask, in his final costume]]). [[NecessaryDrawback To balance this advantage out however, they also has the worst attack and stopping power out of all the other weapons the Smith use]]

* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: Mask is completely unable to hit weak points, which means there is no point scanning them with him either, but given his main weapons are granade launchers, he is the only Smith that can hit multiple Smiles with his normal attacks. Because of that, he doesn't have a "Critical" ability to upgrade like the other Smiths, as it is replaced by a "Range" ability, which increases the blast radius of his granades with each upgrade.

** Kevin also has perfect accuracy from the start, so he does not have a "Waver" ability to improve, which is instead is replaced by "Invisibility". As expected,
it lengthens the amount of time Kevin can stay invisible to avoid detection from enemies and security systems.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: [[spoiler:She's the first of the Smiths that directly encountered Emir. And, being a ''sniper'' rather than a close-range combatant and caught in what amounts to her sleep clothes without her weapon on-hand, she runs and hides -- and swiftly dies without a fight when Emir plugs her body with bullets while she's in a closet.]]

* AxCrazy: He has the nickname The Bloody Heartland for a reason.

* PlayableEpilogue: He's the only character playable in it, detailing something he does three years after the other levels. [[spoiler:The name on the pause menu still says "Garcian", but all [[AllThereInTheManual extra material]] seems to indicate that he's accepted himself as Emir]].

* ZeroEffortBoss: Shoot the third eye and he'll kill himself. It's very likely symbolic.

** Arguably, the Timer Smile as well who is also fought very late into the game but before the Galactic Tomahawk Smile. Maybe even moreso since unlike the former, the Timer Smile can't be [[AchillesHeel more easily taken down]] with Dan Smith's Collateral Shot. The Timer Smile requires quick yet precise shooting to take out its many weakpoints before it gets too close and inflicts a OneHitKill.

* MetalSlime: Micro and Camillia smiles. Both give huge amounts of thick blood when killed (and the Micros awaken all the sleeping Smiths,) but Micros are small and hard to hit, and fly towards you really quickly (fortunately, the explosion doesn't hurt you, but it does blind the player) and Camillia's sprint as fast as they can away from you and then explode if you shoot them without killing them or get too close.

* AmnesiacDissonance: He's coldly professional but always polite, even being described as the sort of person who wouldn't hurt a fly. [[spoiler:He used to be known as Emir Parkreiner, an AxCrazy ChildSoldiers prone to psychotic murder sprees.]]

* DwindlingParty: [[spoiler:DoubleSubverted. It's later revealed that every member of the syndicate was already dead at the start of the game and that Garcian or rather Emir Parkreiner was merely mimicking their personalities and abilities. Regardless, even those "personaes" ended up being killed in the endgame with only Garcian and Harman Smith as the Syndicate's surviving personalities.]]

* BadassInANiceSuit: One of the most well-dressed assassins and the most important to their success.
* BlackGuyDiesFirst: An enforced aversion - Garcian's death is the only way to get a GameOver, since he's [[spoiler: the core personality]] and the only one capable of retrieving and reviving the other dead assassins. In fact, [[spoiler:at the end, he is the only member of the killer7 left]].

* DeadPersonImpersonation: What's actually going on is more complicated, but this is what's suggested by [[spoiler:all the other personas' weapons being in his briefcase]].
* DecoyProtagonist: He's the first Smith we see, and often has a lot of focus in cutscenes as the one talking to the informants the Syndicate deals with, but Harman is the host personality and the person guiding these fractured psyches. [[spoiler: As the story progresses he begins getting more and more focus, until eventually its revealed that he was the protagonist all along and the real host personality.]]

** WolverinePublicity: Even in marketing he tends to be treated as the face of ''killer7'' as a whole, frequently getting a lot of focus and billing that none of the other characters ever match. [[spoiler:This culminates in him being the only Smith to make an appearance outside of ''killer7'' in a completely seperate game ''VideoGame/TravisStrikesAgainNoMoreHeroes'' during the updated intro sequence. Turns out he's affiliated with the secondary lead Badman, hunting him down only to spare his life and instead inform the vengeful father of Travis Touchdown's location and giving him a chance to revive his deceased daughter.]]

* HandbagOfHurt: Uses his briefcase in his down attack.

* FlechetteStorm: His special charged attack is to throw several knives in quick succession.
