History Characters / RainbowSixSiege

* TheSociopath: Her psychological profile mentions that her brutal behavior stems from her suffering from antisocial personality disorder, though the tests conductive have all shown to be inconclusive

* BoringButPractical: He's not one to rely on electronic gadgets, and keeps a six-inch-long knife strapped to his arm just in case. In gameplay, his EMP grenades are extremely straightforward to use but very effective due to their massive wall-penetrating radius.

* DynamicEntry: The most Dynamic in ''Siege'', given switching to his underbarrel shotgun and back is the fastest for the operator to get their gun ready again than other breaching methods. Really, it's the main point of his Underbarrel Shotgun with [[ShortRangeShotgun the shotgun being so close-ranged]] it's barely effective past knife range.

* {{Invisibility}}: As if the Yokai is not jam-packed with bleeding-edge technology yet, it can also render its bottom surface invisible after sticking itself on the ceiling.

* TheInsomniac: Much to the concern of his handlers.

* NotTheIntendedUse: Some players turned Castle into an ambusher by exploiting the fact that the bulletproof barricades always break after 12 hits. By hitting the barricades 11 times beforehand, a player can hit the barricade once, destroy it, and rush through, surprise the enemies on the other side since it still looks like a completely indestructible bulletproof barricade from the outside.

* TheHeart: Castle is surprisingly empathetic, and strives to keep not just ''the'' peace but also personal calm.

* MechanicallyUnusualClass: Thermite (or Hibana) is considered to be a must-pick for every single situation. No exceptions. That is because he is the only Operator that can breach through reinforced walls, creating a whole new level of tactical dynamic all by himself.

* ArtisticLicenseMilitary: The game goes into more fictional and creative grounds when it comes to operator gadgets, but Smoke's [[DeadlyGas lethal gas grenades]] are beyond anything any special force would use in real life - chemical weapons of the lethal variety are outlawed by the overwhelming majorty of world governments by international treaties.

* DifficultButAwesome: He's definitely one of the more skill-orientated Operators. Played right, Smoke can easily deny Attackers a point of entry.

* DifficultButAwesome: Castle sees almost no use in casual gameplay with random players. However, he has a surprising presence in top-tier competitive games, where his bulletproof barricades have tactical uses that are almost impossible to be effective without a good team.

* IconicItem: In spite (or perhaps, because) of [[TierInducedScrappy being infamously regarded as the absolute worst operator in the game to play]], his Maska-1SCh helmet is distinct and unmistakable among fanart - a not-insignificant bit consisting [[{{Fanservice}} ''only'' of his helmet]].

* {{EMP}}: Thatcher's EMP grenades destroy all electronics in a large area, and can easily disable [[CripplingOverspecialisation electronically reliant teams]]. As of the ''Operation Dust Line'' DLC, they can also disable electronic gun sights (holographic, reflex, red dot, etc.), [[InterfaceScrew further blinding anyone in their radius]].

* TokenMinority: Frost is the closest thing to a Chinese Operator for now.

* RevolversAreJustBetter: Like other GIGN Operators, she has access to the [[LFP568]] revolver.

* RevolversAreJustBetter: Like other GIGN Operators, he has access to the [[LFP568]] revolver.

* ArtisticLicenseMilitary: The game goes into more fictional and creative grounds when it comes to operator gadgets, but Smoke's [[DeadlyGas gas grenades]] are beyond anything any special force would use in real life - chemical weapons are outlawed by the overwhelming majorty of world governments by international treaties.

* GoodOldWays: His old-fashioned armor, machine gun turret, helmet, and even codename are holdovers from Russia's past, and he's damned proud of them.

* BadassBeard: The first DLC Operator with a serious beard...only to be later outshined by Blackbeard.
* CoolGuns/BattleRifles: His L1A1 Self-Loading Rifle, designated as the [[FunWithAcronyms CAMRS]] ('''C'''anadian '''A'''rmy '''M'''arksman '''R'''ifle '''S'''ystem), is a Commonwealth derivative of the FN FAL.

* CoolGuns/{{Handguns}}: The USP40, another USP variant, this time chambered in .40 S&W rounds.

The USP40, another USP variant, this time chambered in .40 S&W rounds.

* ArtisticLicenseMilitary: The game goes into more fictional and creative grounds when it comes to operator gadgets, but Smoke's [[DeadlyGas gas grenades]] are literally beyond anything any military would use in real life - chemical weapons are outlawed by the overwhelming majorty of world governments by international treaties.

Glaz uses a special armor-penetrating marksman rifle, the [=OTs-03=] which can destroy barricades and walls with ease. He can also toggle his flip-up sight attached on his rifle for extra zoom and light up enemies for easier target acquisition.

* TheGadfly: Not actually known as an outright jokester, compared to the likes of Blitz, Jäger or Bandit, but she has serious shades of this in addition to some of her dialogue ("Stop complaining. It's just electricity."). In Terrorist Hunt, she trash-talks the most frequently, primarily teasing the older operators for their age and supposed decrepitude.
* TheHeart: Like Montagne, she is explicitly described as a highly intuitive and empathetic individual--in direct contrast to many engineers. Her genuine belief in the ability to improve people's lives is her motivation for military service.

* PuttingOnTheReich: His [[https://i.redd.it/p8upp9uuq8xx.png Elite skin]] makes him bear an uncanny resemblance to that of a WWII-era German soldier.

* MechanicallyUnusualClass: Her gadget is tied to her drones, unlike other offensive operators.

* MechanicallyUnusualClass: His gadget is tied to his primary weapon.

Glaz uses a special armor-penetrating marksman rifle, the [=OTs-03=] which can destroy barricades and walls with ease. He can also toggle his flip-up sight attached on his rifle for extra zoom.

* ArmorPiercingAttack: Glaz's marksman rifle can penetrate 2 breakable surfaces at once, and is one of the few guns that can penetrate Castle's barricades.

* MechanicallyUnusualClass: Glaz's pick rate is much higher on the Presidential Plane map (and only on that map) due to one thing: his [=OTs-03=] the only weapon in the entire game that can penetrate the otherwise bulletproof windows on the plane. For that matter, his gadget (Flip Sight) is tied to his primary weapon, like Montagne, Blitz, Buck and Blackbeard.

* MechanicallyUnusualClass: Similar to Montagne, his gadget is tied to his primary weapon.

* MechanicallyUnusualClass: Similar to Glaz and Blackbeard, Buck's gadget attached to his primary weapon. As it's an underbarrel attachment, Buck is unable to equip a vertical grip.

* MechanicallyUnusualClass: Similar to Buck and Glaz, his gadget is an attachment to his primary weapon.

* MechanicallyUnusualClass: Caveira's "gadget" (more accurately her special ability) differs from the other operators in many ways. Overall, playing as her is more like playing a StealthBasedGame like ''VideoGame/SplinterCell'' or ''VideoGame/MetalGear''.

* MechanicallyUnusualClass: Similar to Caveira, his gadget (Eyenox) is not a physical gadget and is instead an ability that can be used up to three times. Also like Caveira's gadget, it can identify and mark enemy teammates.

An disciplined FBI SWAT Operator, equipped with Brimstone BC-3 Exothermic Charges allowing him to breach through reinforced metal walls.

* CoolGuns/AssaultRifles: His 556xi belongs in the SIG SG 550 family.

FBI SWAT operator from California equipped with bulletproof barricades that he can deploy on windows and doorways.

Low-armor high-mobility Operator equipped with a special Heartbeat Sensor that can sense enemies through walls.

* GentleGiant: Everything about him--his body, his shield, his armor--is huge and somewhat menacing, but he lives to protect his teammates and wouldn't hesitate to take the bullet for them.

* HealingShiv: He carries MPD-0 Stim Pistol which revives and heals wounded teammates at a range. It heals back more health than reviving manually and can be shot at any range at anyone, including himself.

* ThrowDownTheBomblet: Rook now has access to Impact Grenades.

* CoolGuns/AssaultRifles: Her Steyr AUG.

* TheLittleDetecto: Her Gadget can detect electronics, including Pulse's Heartbeat Sensor. However...

* CoolGuns/{{Handguns}}: The Makarov PM.

* LongRangeFighter: His Flip Sight and powerful marksman rifle make him a beast at long range. While he's not terrible mid-range, his gun's fire rate leaves something to be desired.

* MechanicallyUnusualClass: Glaz's pick rate is much higher on the Presidential Plane map (and only on that map) due to one thing: his [=OTs-03=] the only weapon in the entire game that can penetrate the otherwise bulletproof windows on the plane. For that matter, his gadget (Flip Sight) is tied to his primary weapon, like Montagne and Blitz.

* CoolGuns/{{Handguns}}: The Makarov PM, though confused for the PMM, shared with the other Spetsnaz Operators.

* MightyGlacier: The only Heavy Armor Operator on the Attacking side that isn't ''restricted'' to a Ballistic Shield. His arsenal consists of a Ballistic Shield, a light machine gun, an AK-pattern assault rifle and two Cluster Charges that can shoot up to five grenades.

* CoolGuns/{{Handguns}}: The Makarov PM, though confused for the PMM, shared with the other Spetsnaz Operators.

* SkillGateCharacter: There's nothing special about his gadget. It is easy to use for a beginner and relatively effective at lower level play where players are not observant enough to their surroundings. At higher level play, his gadget is is practically useless, since everyone watches where they step and anticipates for the traps.

* TheGadfly: He used his gadget to force his twin brother into earlier retirement,

* CoolGuns/BattleRifles: His FN FAL, a marksman rifle, can be found in this category.

* DifficultButAwesome: Not with regards to his gadget, but instead to his primary weapons:
** The C8-SFW has ''crazy'' recoil. Easily one of the highest in the game and notoriously so. As little as three automatic shots can result in the aim flying way off the original position. If one could compensate the recoil however, the weapon is a very good complement to the breaching capabilities of the Skeleton Key, able to follow up many high-damage shots to the target in a short burst.
** The CAMRS (FN FAL) is normally not very hard to use (easier than the C8 at least), but its highest potential comes in that it has no upper limit to its firing rate - it fires as fast as the player could tap the fire button, making it possible to deal out insane amounts of damage with reasonable recoil in a very short time, if the player could tap that fast that is.

* MultiRangedMaster: A mid-ranged assault rifle, a long-ranged marksman rifle, and a close-ranged underbarrel shotgun attached to both of them. You don't get more multi-ranged than this.

* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: His "Skeleton Key" is an Underbarrel Shotgun that can easily shoot out large holes for Buck and anyone else to go through or create a line of sight.. Essentially, he's a longer-ranged variation of Sledge. However as an actual weapon, its not useful, better to just use the gun its attached to.

* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: She's the only other operator, along with fellow GEO operator Jackal, to have a shotgun as options for both her primary and secondary weapons.

* PuttingOnTheReich: His Elite skin makes him bear an uncanny resemblance to that of a WWII-era German soldier.

* ReclusiveArtist: An idiosyncrasy of his character is his background as an artist, which helps him spot details as a sniper. Apparently, he makes surprisingly expressive and colorful art ([[InformedAbility according to his Psychological Profile]])

* MechanicallyUnusualClass: Glaz's pick rate is much higher on the Presidential Plane map (and only on that map) due to one thing: his [=OTs-03=] the only weapon in the entire game that can penetrate the otherwise bulletproof windows on the plane.
