!!Main Characters
!!!TCTF

Konoko's uncle and a retired Syndicate associate, who was pardoned by the TCTF for his dark research into the Chrysalis in return for [[spoiler:helping them with their own dark research into the Chrysalis. He was ordered to infuse it into Konoko by Griffin, so she could be used a contingency plan should the Syndicate ever weaponize theirs.]]

Muro [[spoiler:Hasegawa]] is the BigBad of the game, the leader of [[TheSyndicate the Syndicate]] (which he usurped by [[AsskickingLeadsToLeadership getting rid of its leaders and centralizing leadership on himself]]) and a bearer of a daodan Chrysalis. He aims to TakeOverTheWorld by leaking the outside world's toxic fumes into the main settlements, forcing anyone who wishes to live to sell their souls to him for a Chrysalis. He's also [[spoiler:Konoko's brother.]]

The first enemy you encounter outside of training. Thugs are very weak, capable of going down in only a few punches and kicks. You start off fighting many of these guys, then they start being replaced by the Strikers. Thugs perform manual labor for whoever they work for and are not very combat-oriented.

* UndergroundMonkey: They appear as either enemies, allies, or simply civilians.

[[folder:Muro]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/muro_tropes_3323.jpg]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Kurt Naebig

Muro [[spoiler:Hasegawa]] is the BigBad of the game, the leader of [[TheSyndicate the Syndicate]] (which he usurped by [[AsskickingLeadsToLeadership getting rid of its leaders and centralizing leadership on himself]]) and a bearer of a daodan Chrysalis. He aims to TakeOverTheWorld by leaking the outside world's toxic fumes into the main settlements, forcing anyone who wishes to live to sell their souls to him for a Chrysalis. He's also [[spoiler:Konoko's brother.]]

* AmazonBrigade: His elite guard in the final stage seems entirely [[ActionGirl comprised of women]]. The Furies (clad in crimson) are explicitly Muro's all-female bodyguard unit.
* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: How he took over the Syndicate in his backstory.
* BadassBoast: [[spoiler:Runs in the family.]]
-->'''Muro:''' Maybe I should start ''trying''?
%%* BadassInANiceSuit: In some of his artwork.
* BadBoss: Of the YouHaveFailedMe variety, at least on paper; he threatens Barabas with this at least once, though doesn't go through with it and gives him other chances.
* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:His plot more or less succeeds thanks to Konoko having to come up with a last-minute contingency plan to try and contain it, though he doesn't live to see it. Huge swathes of humanity are wiped out, and the survivors will indeed have to turn to the Chrysalis to continue living.]]
* BarrierWarrior: He has a near-permanent shield active in [[spoiler:his mutant form.]]
* BeamSpam: Many of his attacks after [[spoiler:going OneWingedAngel]] involve firing crimson beams around the place. Doubles as a PersonalSpaceInvader, pulling enemies towards him.
%%* BigBad
* BigBadEnsemble: With [[spoiler:Griffin]] FromACertainPointOfView, though [[spoiler:Griffin's]] either [[spoiler:killed or pulls a late HeelFaceTurn]] by the final battle, cementing Muro as the FinalBoss and more dangerous villain.
%%* CainAndAbel: Cain.
* ColdBloodedTorture: Subjects Shinatama to this, [[{{Sadist}} glad that she was programmed to feel pain]].
* CombatPragmatist: Several of his special attacks give off this vibe.
%%* TheChessmaster
* TheCorrupter: He eventually tries to turn Konoko to his side, citing [[spoiler:Griffin]] as someone who's used and abused her. It doesn't work.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: He and his father were kidnapped by the Syndicate when Muro was a child, and he was implanted with a Chrysalis to be used as a weapon. Whatever purpose they had for him is a bit of a moot point, seeing as Muro himself usurped the organization in later life and became its new leader.
* DarkMessiah: He believes the Chrysalis is the future of humanity.
* DealWithTheDevil: His end goal is to be the one giving the deals out, forcing anyone who wants to survive the impending apocalypse to sell their soul and loyalty to him for a Chrysalis.
* EldritchAbomination: [[spoiler:His OneWingedAngel reeks of this.]]
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: He has the same Daodan-mode powers as Konoko. [[spoiler:Taken to its zenith in the darker ending, in which he goes OneWingedAngel with it.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Misplaced, but he sees his grand plot as the culmination of everything his father dreamed of doing.
-->'''Konoko:''' He dreamed of life. All you know is death.
%%* EvilCounterpart: To Konoko.
%%* EvilGenius
%%* EvilLaugh
* EvilMakesYouUgly: According to Kerr, the Daodan Chrysalis's final form will reflect your true nature. [[spoiler:Muro's turns him into a disgusting, hulking mutant.]]
* EvilMinions: His Syndicate includes almost every type listed on the trope page.
* EvilPlan: To poison the world by reversing the atmospheric processors, forcing anyone who wishes to survive to become a bearer of Chrysalis, [[spoiler:like he and Konoko.]]
* EvilSoundsDeep: Sometimes, though [[spoiler:''all'' the time in his monstrous Chrysalis form.]]
%%* EvilTwin
* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: He's portrayed as rather physically attractive. [[spoiler:At least until he goes OneWingedAngel...]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: He's soft-spoken, polite, contemplative, and rarely overtly confrontational (even while torturing you ForTheEvulz), but it's made clear by the final battle that it's only hiding a pretty deranged human being beneath it all.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: According to his bio, he came out of nowhere ten years before the plot began, and has been ruling the criminal underworld as the Syndicate's ruthless boss ever since. [[spoiler:As it happens, he has some history with the organization that makes his rise to power a little easier to appreciate.]]
* ForTheEvulz: He kidnapped Shinatama because he figured out her link to Konoko, though his dialogue with her indicates that he quite enjoys torturing the poor AI bot.
* GotTheWholeWorldInMyHand: Look at the pic.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: According to Kerr, the [[spoiler:Chrysalis's]] true final form is reflective of its each individual owner's soul. [[spoiler:Muro's turns him into a towering, monstrous mutant.]]
%%* LackOfEmpathy
* LastVillainStand
-->'''Konoko:''' Surrender. We have you surrounded.
-->'''Muro:''' Never.
* {{Sadist}}:
-->'''Muro:''' I'm impressed. You're almost human.
-->'''Muro:''' Curious. Why bother programming you to feel pain so intensely?
-->'''Muro:''' Of course, pain is a necessary response to certain stimuli, but they could have dulled the sensation or given you a threshold that would limit the extent and depth of your agony.
-->'''Muro:''' [[ForTheEvulz I'm glad they didn't.]]
* OmnicidalManiac: Konoko thinks so, but subverted somewhat in that he doesn't want to ''wipe out'' humanity so much as redefine and evolve it. Which just happens to have the side effect of wiping out huge swathes of it. Hmm...
* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:If you killed Griffin, Muro will invoke the next stage of his Chrysalis and become a towering monster when you confront him, making the final battle considerably harder.]]
* PragmaticVillainy: If his interactions with Barabas are anything to go by, he keeps his followers in line with a YouHaveFailedMe kind of creed, but instead of carrying the sentence out upon said failure, he simply reassigns his underlings to tasks they're better suited to.
%%* SpikesOfDoom: [[spoiler:When he goes OneWingedAngel.]]
* TyrantTakesTheHelm: Not that the Syndicate's previous bosses were much better. Muro's just much more ruthless and intelligent with how he manages his resources.
* TheUnreveal: Muro being [[spoiler:your brother isn't that much of a surprise; many players will twig his cryptic remarks to/about Konoko some time before it comes out, if their similar appearances didn't give it away already. The game places more emphasis on the twins' shared backstory and exposure to the Daodan Chrysalis as the true reveal.]]
* VillainousValour: It helps that he's a pretty straight badass in his own right.
* VisionaryVillain: Albeit from his own warped point of view.
* WeCanRuleTogether: [[spoiler:Offers this to Konoko when she confronts him in the final stage.]]
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: He's quite proud of his [[spoiler:monstrous OneWingedAngel form]], and intends to turn the surviving populace of the world into Daodan Chrysalis bearers to be like him.
* YoungConqueror: He forcefully usurped the Syndicate's leaders at a very young age.

[[folder:Barabas]]
[[quoteright:128:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/barabas_tropes_3058.jpg]]
--> '''Voiced by:''' George Adams

Muro's [[TheDragon Dragon]], head enforcer, and general right-hand-man, the hulking Barabas is out to remove his master's enemies by any means necessary.

%%* BaldOfEvil: Not a single strand of hair on his head. He inexplicably has [[HornedHumanoid a horn though]].
* BeardOfEvil: A short, barbaric beard fitting his status.
* {{BFG}}: His weapon of choice is normally found on ''assault vehicles'' and is so heavy that Konoko can barely carry it. Fortunately, it takes a lot to charge the attack.
* TheBrute: Albeit a surprisingly lucid one.
* CrazyPrepared: He ''thinks'' he's this, at least.
* TheDragon: Subverted, at first he seems to be this for Muro, before we learn that he had Mukade.
* TheDreaded: His TCTF file mentions that he's incredibly powerful and a wanted criminal beside his obvious superhuman nature.
* GroundPound: One of his most dangerous attacks has him jumping and releasing a shockwave upon landing.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Subverted. He can handle his cannon just fine, it's everyone else who lacks the muscle to utilize it properly.
* JetPack: Also serves as a means of escape.
* OneManArmy: Held off a large TCTF squad on his lonesome before Konoko took him on one-on-one.
* RecurringBoss: He's fought twice during the course of the game.
* RegeneratingHealth: When he says "Stronger... and stronger!" he emanates a red aura and heals himself.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: He's called Barabas in the game itself, but scripts and binaries refer to him as "Barabbas," "Barabus," or, affectionately, "Baba."
* TaintedVeins: Sports noticeable bulging veins around his eyes.
* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:His fate after Konoko defeats him the final time is never made clear. He may have died from his wounds, or (perhaps more likely, given he was defeated on top of a police HQ) was arrested.]]
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Subverted. Muro reminds him not to underestimate Konoko, and he doesn't.
* WaveMotionGun: Carries a massive cannon named the Wave Motion Cannon. Konoko can claim it for herself, but it severely limits her movement.
* WorthyOpponent: Konoko mentions in her diary that the infamous Barabas will likely be one.
* YouHaveFailedMe: Muro reminds him of the price of failure before he engages Konoko for the first time, but nothing comes of it. Barabas even contacts his boss right after the fight to tell him that he failed, and Muro simply gives him another task.

[[folder:Mukade]]
[[quoteright:233:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mukade_tropes_9821.jpg]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Kevin Gudahl

Mukade is Muro's head ninja. He seems to take over the role of TheDragon after Barabas is defeated, and is dispensed by his master to retrieve critical information regarding Konoko's past, which inevitably brings him into conflict with our heroine.

* AlwaysAccurateAttack: He can cast a sinister red bullet of energy that will chase after Konoko for the entire arena. Luckily, you can find a force field before the boss fight.
* AnimalMotifs: The [[CreepyCentipedes Centipede]]: his name translates to that (specifically, the Japanese variety, feared for its venomous sting), his black armor invokes the plated body and head of the beast, and he's a vile, dangerous and crafty opponent who's not afraid to take advantage of sneak attacks and homing bolts to kill.
* BlackKnight: His armour seems designed to invoke this.
* BloodKnight: As a Ninja, his job is to deliver the disk with Konoko's past to Muro. He still lets her catch up and tries to make her realizes that, deep down, she's as much of a bloodthirsty assassin as he is.
* DarkIsEvil: A ninja in pitch black armor and is one of the vilest characters.
* DirtyCoward: Subverted. He spends most of his screentime running away from you, but when you finally do corner him, he simply tells you that [[PreAsskickingOneLiner you're the one who should have just let him go]].
* EvilLaugh: Made even more creepy and evil-sounding because of his mask.
* ExtremityExtremist: His infamous combo attack has him delivering a fast series of deadly kicks in a row.
* LightningBruiser: Like his namesake animal, Mukade can move pretty fast and attack relentlessly.
^^ * MalevolentMaskedMan: And he's never unmasked.
%%* MeaningfulName: "Mukade" is the Japanese name of the Centipede. See above.
%% * NeckSnap: [[spoiler:What does him in.]]
* SensorCharacter: WordOfGod states that all those imbued with a Chrysalis can sense others of their kind.
* SpikesOfVillainy: He has some large spike-like things protruding from his back, though they're seemingly cosmetic.
%%* StrawNihilist
* RoofHopping: He precedes you across a series of roofs up above, while you have to catch up to him.
* TeleportSpam: He can disappear in a blue flash and reappear somewhere else, but you can interrupt him if you manage to land an attack before he can get away.
* TemptingFate: His insistence that he and Konoko are alike is what [[spoiler:ultimately leads to her violently executing him in short order.]]
* TheyHaveTheScent: Konoko likens the strange bond she has with Mukade to animals squaring off for territory, destined to hunt and fight one another. WordOfGod says that this is due to Mukade possessing an evolved Daodan Chrysalis, making him a kind of "super predator." Their link is that [[spoiler:Konoko's own senses are beginning to catch up]], and that Mukade is taking note of this and encouraging it.
%% * VaderBreath

[[folder:Dr. Kerr]]
[[quoteright:128:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kerr_oni_827.png]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Bob O'Donnell

Konoko's uncle and a retired Syndicate associate, who was pardoned by the TCTF for his dark research into the Chrysalis in return for [[spoiler:helping them with their own dark research into the Chrysalis. He was ordered to infuse it into Konoko by Griffin, so she could be used a contingency plan should the Syndicate ever weaponize theirs.]]

Despite his past, he's fond of Konoko and tries to protect her.

* TheAtoner: Why he ends up helping you.
* AwfulTruth: He eventually comes clean with Konoko, informs her of her parents and their mission, and drops the reveal that [[spoiler:Muro is her brother]].
* HeelFaceTurn: In his backstory.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:When a TCTF Black Ops trooper attempts to shoot Konoko with a Mercury Bow, Kerr jumps in front of her to take the shot.]]
%%* NonActionGuy
* PetTheDog: He frequently challenges and contests Griffin, and tries to give Konoko as many benefits as he can.
* ReformedCriminal: He worked with the Syndicate because he and his brother-in-law couldn't obtain any legal funding for the Chrysalis project.
%%* TakingTheBullet
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Hasegawa & Jamie Kerr/Hasegawa]]
Hasegawa was a talented professor who took a romantic interest in a talented student of his, Jamie Kerr. He became involved in her activism, which led to the pair traveling beyond the atmospheric processors. During the trip, Jamie cut her leg and suffered an immediate infection, which she died of shortly after. Enraged, Hasegawa decided to take up her cause and find a counter to the bleak reality that lies beyond civilization: [[spoiler:the Chrysalis.]]

Hasegawa joined forces with his brother-in-law, Dr. Kerr, and the two masterminded the [[spoiler:Daodon Chrysalis]]. However, the Syndicate took an interest in their work, and kidnapped the pair, until Kerr escaped.

Hasegawa and Jamie had two children, [[spoiler:whose identities you can probably guess at this point. Kerr fled with Konoko to the TCTF when she was a child, where the pair were granted sanctuary and protection, while Muro and his father remained with the Syndicate. Both Muro and Konoko were infused with the Chrysalis by their respective "patrons."]]

* CrusadingWidower: Hasegawa also gained the support of Jamie's brother, Dr. Kerr, in his quest.
* DumbBlonde: Jamie, to a certain extent. It wasn't the smartest idea to wear ''shorts'' while venturing into an area filled with infected plants.
* LastNameBasis: Hasegawa's first name is never given.
* MercyKill: Maybe. It's known that he could only "ease her pain," though a newspaper afterward treated Jamie's death as suspicious.
* PosthumousCharacter: Both are treated as deceased; Jamie explicitly, and Hasegawa implicitly.
* ProperlyParanoid: They were right about what lies beyond the quarantined zones, [[spoiler:and Hasegawa's research into the Chrysalis does indeed end up being humanity's only hope of survival.]]
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The game never confirms or denies Hasegawa's death, though he's not affiliated with either the Syndicate (which [[spoiler:his son]] now leads) or TCTF, like his partner-in-crime and brother-in-law Dr. Kerr.

!!Non-player characters

[[folder:Striker]]
The rank-and-file foot soldier of the Syndicate. Strikers are general-purpose troops.

* {{Mooks}}: The basic and most common mook you encounter throughout the game.
** MiniMook: They appear as this in "Dream Diver", which takes place in Konoko's head while she's asleep.

[[folder:Comm Trooper]]
Communications specialists. Comm Troopers maintain communications during Syndicate operations, while also serving as field computer specialists and coordinators. They are known to run and set off alarms when attacked. Unlike other Syndicate troops, they do not have a color-based hierarchy, and wear black uniforms.

* EvilGenius: They are field computer specialists.
* MasterOfNone: The Comm Trooper wears tabi boots, but seems to lack ninja skills in-game.
* MookCommander: Comm Troopers often lead other Syndicate troops. When you usually encounter a group of Syndicate troops, chances are there's a Comm Trooper among them.

[[folder:Mad Bomber]]
Syndicate demolitions experts. Mad Bombers wear detonation harnesses, which will trigger a three-second countdown upon death. They wear the same uniform as the Comm Trooper, and, as with said Syndicate unit, they lack a color-based hierarchy.

* InsaneEqualsViolent: Could be considered this if his combat taunts are anything to go by.
--> "We're all doomed!"
* MadBomber: ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin.

[[folder:Tanker]]
Illegal SLDs created by the Syndicate. Tankers are units that specialize in wrestling.

* WrestlerInAllOfUs: [[AllThereInTheManual The manual]] states that Tankers are based on the brain engrams of an obnoxious Syndicate commander which a penchant for wrestling.

[[folder:Fury]]
The female fighters of the Syndicate. Furies are command-level Syndicate troops.

* BodyguardBabes: [[AllThereInTheManual The manual]] states that the blue Furies are bodyguards and personal aides to Syndicate senior staff, and that the red ones are Muro's bodyguards and personal aides, as seen when you confront him at the end of the game, two of them are at his side. Strangely, the blue ones never show up when Barabas is around.
* MookCommander: The tan and blue Furies are field commanders and overseers for large numbers of Syndicate troops. This is easily seen in the sixth chapter.
* ValleyGirl: Could be considered this, if their quotes are anything to go by.
--> "Oh, puh-lease!"
--> "[=WHATever!=]"

[[folder:Elite Striker]]
The most powerful Syndicate troops. Elite Strikers provide tremendous combat power in support of Syndicate troops.

* TheBrute: The bulkiest Syndicate troops, even more so than the Tankers.
* EliteMooks: They aren't called ''Elite'' Strikers for nothing.
* LightningBruiser: Elite Strikers are the strongest enemies in the game, especially the red ones. They are capable of surviving ''two'' hits from the Mercury Bow.

[[folder:Ninja]]
The spies and assassins of the Syndicate. Ninjas are the final Syndicate unit that appears in the game.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: Due to their faceless appearance, it is unknown if they are [[ArtificialHuman artificial humans]] like the [=SLDs=], but their visible neck skin suggests they are [[CyberNinja cyber ninjas]]. Interestingly, in the comic book, one of them explodes after Konoko defeats him.
* FragileSpeedster: Ninjas are the fastest characters in the game, even faster than Konoko.
* IWorkAlone: [[AllThereInTheManual The manual]] states that the tan ones are trained to operate alone. This is easily seen in "Truth And Consequences", where lone Ninjas are encountered in the Command Center.
* {{Ninja}}: ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin

[[folder:TCTF Tactical Trooper]]
Members of the TCTF Tac-Ops. TCTF Tactical Troopers are the bulk of the TCTF's fighting forces.

* {{Mooks}}: They're initially your allies, but later become your enemies. They're the TCTF equivalent of the Syndicate Striker.
* RedshirtArmy: The majority of the time, these guys are seen as corpses. For the few times when you have them as allies, they won't last long unless you help them out.

[[folder:TCTF Officer]]
Basic uniformed officers of the TCTF. They come in both male and female varieties.

* {{Mooks}}: They are encountered as enemies in Chapter 13. The males have the exact same fighting style as the TCTF Tactical Trooper, while the females have the same fighting style as Konoko.

[[folder:TCTF SWAT Trooper]]
The elite fighting forces of the TCTF.

* DoomTroops: The manual states that the sight of one of these guys is enough to make lawbreakers surrender on sight. Sadly, [[TheWorfEffect it doesn't seem to work on Syndicate troops]].
* SWATTeam: ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. However, the manual states that they are often deployed either alone or alongside TCTF Tactical Troopers.

[[folder:TCTF Black Ops Tactical Trooper]]
Members of the TCTF Black Ops division.

* EliteMooks: They are the most elite TCTF forces to be encountered.

[[folder:TCTF Black Ops SWAT Trooper]]

!!!Other
[[folder:Thug]]
The first enemy you encounter outside of training. Thugs are very weak, capable of going down in only a few punches and kicks. You start off fighting many of these guys, then they start being replaced by the Strikers. Thugs perform manual labor for whoever they work for and are not very combat-oriented.

* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Strangely, Thugs seem to have multiple allegiances, all determined by the color of their clothing. Blue thugs work for the Syndicate, green ones work for the TCTF, while yellow, brown and indigo ones are civilians.
* EvilMinions: Subverted. Thugs ''can'' and ''do'' fight, but their fighting skills are piss poor and they go down rather easily. Their appearance, and the areas that you encounter them in (the Syndicate Warehouse and TCTF Science Prison), suggest that they are nothing more than workers, and thus aren't suited for combat in the field.
* TheGoomba: The weakest enemy in the game. This only applies to the ones that are enemies.
* UndergroundMonkey: They appear as either enemies, allies, or simply civilians.

[[folder:Security Guard]]
Security personnel who are tasked with protecting public areas and keep civilians safe.

* UniqueEnemy: The one time they are fought as enemies is in "Truth And Consequences". Inverted as well, as they appear once as allies in "A Friend In Need".

[[folder:Thug]]
The first enemy you encounter outside of training. Thugs are very weak, capable of going down in only a few punches and kicks. You start off fighting many of these guys, then they start being replaced by the Strikers. Unlike other Syndicate troops, Thugs don't have a ranking system.

* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Strangely, Thugs seem to have multiple allegiances, all determined by the color of their clothing. Blue thugs work for the Syndicate, green ones work for the TCTF, while yellow, brown and indigo ones are civilians.
* EvilMinions: Subverted. Thugs ''can'' and ''do'' fight, but their fighting skills are piss poor and they go down rather easily. Their appearance, and the areas that you encounter them in (the Syndicate Warehouse and Musashi Manufacturing), suggest that they are nothing more than workers, and thus aren't suited for combat in the field.
* TheGoomba: The weakest enemy in the game. This only applies to the ones that are enemies.

!!NPCs

* AFriendInNeed: Disobeys orders to rescue her android familiar, Shinatama, from the Syndicate, which costs her [[spoiler:her job.]]

%%* {{Bishonen}}

%%* BadassInCharge

* {{Stripperific}}: This was notably averted during a time when female ActionGirl protagonists were more or less expected to embrace this trope. According to the developers, it took a ''lot'' of effort and pushback to keep Konoko in her professional, non-sexualized outfit. All of her outfits depict her in a fair deal of clothing; at most, she [[BareYourMidriff bares her midriff]] in a couple of casual non-TCTF uniforms, and goes without a helmet.

* BareYourMidriff: A couple of her outfits.

Muro [[spoiler:Hasegawa]] is the BigBad of the game, the leader of [[TheSyndicate the Syndicate]] (which he usurped by [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority getting rid of its leaders and centralizing leadership on himself]]) and a bearer of a daodan Chrysalis. He aims to TakeOverTheWorld by leaking the outside world's toxic fumes into the main settlements, forcing anyone who wishes to live to sell their souls to him for a Chrysalis. He's also [[spoiler:Konoko's brother.]]

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: How he took over the Syndicate in his backstory.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: Due to their faceless appearance, it is unknown if they are [[ArtificialHuman artificial]] like the SLDs, but their visible neck skin suggests they are [[CyberNinja cyborgs]].

* RedshirtArmy: Majority of the time, these guys are seen as corpses. For the few times where you have them as allies, they won't last long unless you help them out.
