History Characters / RedVsBlueCharonIndustries

* ArcVillain: He's the main antagonist of the Chorus trilogy, and is revealed to be behind Locus and Felix's actions against Chorus, and is the reason the Reds and Blues crashed on Chorus in the first place and why they haven't found rescue.
* BigBad: It's been hinted that he's the series' new BigBad now that the Director has been killed off, but it is so far unconfirmed.
* BigGood: He appears to be this throughout Season 6 - though abrasive, his goal is to take down the Director for committing war crimes - but ultimately subverted with the reveal of him being the corrupt CEO of Charon Industries and the possibly the show's ''BigBad''.
* BiggerBad: Only in Season 8, where he sent the {{Arc Villain}}s Washington and the Meta to Valhalla to retrieve the Epsilon AI, but otherwise has little connection to the plot.

* ArcVillain: [[BigBadEnsemble Shared]] the role with the Meta in Season 7. Was also hinted as the main antagonist of the Project Freelancer flashbacks, but it was subverted by the reveal that Project Freelancer were just as, if not ''more'' villainous than the Insurrection, and the real villain of the flashbacks was Sigma.

The Insurrection is a military force made up of soldiers who have broken off from the UNSC, who spend Seasons 9 and 10 in battle with the Freelancers. In reality, they are a private security force for Charon Industries.[[note]]They are possibly [[MythologyGag a nod to]] ''Halo'' canon, in which prior to the war with the [[ScaryDogmaticAliens Covenant]], Earth (and human-controlled space) was undergoing a civil war between the UNSC and a coalition of rebel groups, for the control of human colonies. Incidentally, it was during this civil war the SPARTAN-II program was initiated, as a countermeasure against the rebellion.[[/note]]

--> '''Connecticut:''' Here, take the info. It's not complete, but it'll get them started.

* AntiHero: While his priorities ultimately do seem to be good in the end, WordOfGod and his voice actor both argue that he is trying to increase his own standing and power as well, and using the alien tech on Chorus to get to that position.

* EvilerThanThou: [[EvilAllAlong As revealed in the finale of Season 12, he is even worse than the Director ever was. While the Director operated Project Freelancer in order to bring back his beloved Allison, causing a lot of property damage in the process, Hargrove is willing to annihilate the population of an entire planet (Chorus) for money.]]

* GoodIsNotNice: In order to retrieve the Epsilon unit, he was more than willing to send the [[AxCrazy Meta and Wash to Valhalla, when Wash made it clear he wouldn't be ''asking'' the for Reds and Blues to return it. Of course, he's ultimately not as good as he'd like to paint himself as.]]

* TheMeanBrit: ZigZaggedTrope. Relatively reasonable for the most part, but see HeroAntagonist and GoodIsNotNice for more information. On second thought, he's more of an EvilBrit after he's revealed to be "Control".

* TheVoice: Only "seen" through intercepted voice messages to Locus and Felix.
* VoiceOfTheLegion: The way their transmissions are disordered creates this effect.

* WalkingSpoiler: Even before the Chairman and "Control" are revealed to be one and the same, the fact that "Control" is part of a third party in the Chorus Civil War is a huge spoiler.

!'''Felix'''
[[quoteright:297:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/felix_red_vs_blue_4585.png]]

-> ''"[[EvilGloating At the end of the day, if I'm stronger than you and if I'm faster than you, than I can kill you! And that's better than anything money can buy.]]"''
-->'''Voiced By:''' Miles Luna

A gray and orange mercenary employed by the Chairman to manipulate the New Republic first introduced in Season 11. He and Locus were allies during the great war, but they never liked one another. Felix couldn't return to civilian life after that, and the Chairman hired him and Locus to push the CivilWar. He acts opposed to Locus and the Federation, he does what he can to keep the Reds and Blues alive and explain the New Republic's situation to them and says that the New Republic is hoping that these "legendary heroes" can tip the balance of the war into the Republic's favor.

He's lying about his true allegiance, of course. He is TheSociopath, downright evil, and the reason why this CivilWar has not ended. In comparison to Locus, his partner, he is the more evil of the pair, preferring to twist the knife rather than kill and get on with it. He serves as one the primary antagonists of ''The Chorus Trilogy'', and the most proactive one in Season 12.

A sinister gray and green mercenary in the service of the Chairman who first appears in Season 11 and no doubt harbors grim intentions for the "legendary heroes" and the rest of Chorus. He's not working for the Federation at all, but rather manipulating them for the Chairman's purposes. Unlike Felix, who pretends to be good, Locus doesn't hide that he's not a good guy.

[[folder: Space Pirates]]
!'''Space Pirates'''
[[quoteright:270:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/space_pirates_9189.png]]
A group of mercenaries who were first referred to at the end of Season 10. They don't show up in person until Season 12, where they are revealed to be the "third party" in the Chorus CivilWar, under the control of [[CoDragons Locus and Felix]], helping them annihilate the population of Chorus and prolong the war.
----
!!!Associated Tropes:
* ChekhovsGunman: They were offhandedly referred to at the end of Season 10, with Carolina and Epsilon preparing to go after them. Turns out, they are the main antagonistic group in the Chorus Civil War.
* EliteMooks: They wield Forerunner weapons and are much more dangerous than the Federation or New Republic soldiers. Three of them even pose a threat to Carolina.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: One of the pirates, Zachary, is ''brutally'' tortured by Dr. Gray. Then at the end of the episode, he gets fatally shot by one of his own teammates. Considering he was one of the pirates that killed all of Gray's friends, it's very hard to pity him.
* OutsideContextVillain: In Season 12. The only protagonists to be aware of their existence were Carolina and Epsilon, both of whom were MIA, until their attack on the Fed outpost.
* SpacePirates: What they are most commonly referred to. Except they ''aren't''.
* {{Walking Spoiler}}s: The mere fact that there is a third party in the civil war is the twist that turns the Chorus story arc on its head during Season 12. They are also this due to reporting not only to Locus, but also to Felix.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: If they fail to prevent their gear from being stolen, they're... taken care of.
* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: Zachary is killed by another pirate once he starts spilling his guts.
[[/folder]]

* [[BiggerBad Biggest Bad]]: Above the Director, there's Charon Industries. They're behind the Insurrectionists in seasons 9 and 10, the Space Pirates and mercenaries in the Chorus Trilogy, and are implicitly responsible for "C.T." and his group in Recreation.

* BigBad: He's the main antagonist of the Chorus trilogy. He is revealed to be behind Locus and Felix's actions agaisnt Chorus, and is the reason the Reds and Blues crashed on Chorus in the first place and why they haven't found rescue.
* BigGood: Very little is known about him, but he seems to be this. Though abrasive, his goal is to take down the Director for committing war crimes. Completely subverted in the Season 12 finale, where he is the BigBad, and the one who hired Locus and Felix in the first place. It's also implied that he is the ultimate BiggerBad of the series.
* BiggerBad:
** In Season 8, where he sent the BigBadDuumvirate of Washington and the Meta to Valhalla to retrieve the Epsilon AI.
** He's actually this for the series as a whole when it's revealed that he funded the Insurrection in the first place, and is quite possibly bigger than the Director.

* NonActionBigBad: Locus and Felix are the ones driving the plot while Control gives them orders form afar.

* BigBadEnsemble: Alongside the Director in Season 9, though the former is more [[ManBehindTheMan behind the scenes]].

->''"[[WhamLine Ha, ha,]] [[IsThatWhatHeToldYou is]] [[LaResistance that]] what [[BiggerBad he]] told [[UnwittingPawn you]] [[HeroAntagonist we]] are?"''

* BigBadEnsemble: With the Meta for ''Recreation''.
* BigBad: During Season 10. Could also be qualified BigGood if you see the Freelancers as the bad guys.

* BigBadFriend: He is Kimball's most trusted soldier and a figure to the Reds and Blues, yet he is planning on killing them all.

* NotSoAboveItAll: Despite his criticisms of Felix's tendency to waste time and monologue, he's shown to be obsessed with Washingron, trying to HannibalLecture him throughout their fight rather than just kill Wash then and there.

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: He seems genuinely concerned when the guys leave and goes to retrieve them against Kimball's orders, until it turns out that he actually left so he could kill them all. Turns out he's [[EvilAllAlong far worse than we expected]], and [[PlayingBothSides he and Locus are manipulating the entire conflict]]. While he's [[EvilGloating gloating]] to them, [[InvokedTrope he mentions]] JerkWithAHearOfGold more or less by name, [[DefiedTrope and makes fun of them for believing he was one]].

* CoDragons: Shares this with Felix for [[BigBad Control in Seasons 11 and 12.]]

* {{Jerkass}}: '''Holy shit is he ver.''' Between willingly attempting to commit genocide and twisting the knife on the Reds and Blues on how much they helped, '''he could very well be the biggest dick in the series''', and that's saying a lot.

* EvilGloating: True to this trope, this buys enough time for Carolina to [[BigDamnHeroes save the Reds and Blues. He was doing it as a form of therapy after dealing with the Reds and Blues on his side. He does it again in episode 18, only for it to bite him in the ass when Tucker and Church are revealed to have been recording what he has said, and it is broadcast to the Capital, where the Republic and the Feds are fighting.]]

* IdiotBall: Stops [[VillainBall Locus' firing squad from killing the Reds and Blues]] [[JustBetweenYouAndMe so he can monologue]], [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech chew them out]] [[MotiveRant and explain their plan]] -- giving Carolina time to [[BigDamnHeroes save the day.]] Locus calls him out on it.

While he's [[EvilGloating gloating]] to them, [[InvokedTrope he mentions this trope more or less by name,]] [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk and makes fun of them for believing he was one]].

* NeverMyFault: After Carolina saves the BGC team from execution, Felix is quick to reproach Locus for being sloppy enough to allow her to infiltrate his team. Never mind the fact that Felix gave Carolina ample time to prepare herself for the rescue by delving into a MotiveRant on why he hated the Reds and Blues, whereas [[DangerouslyGenreSavvy Locus]] [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim simply wanted to shoot them]] and be done with it. When Locus points out the hypocrisy of this in a threatening tone, Felix notes that they shouldn't be throwing blame around. This unwillingness to take blame continues into the end of Season 12, where, upon speaking to CEO Hargrove, he says they lost because the Reds and Blues got lucky, but Locus admits it was because they (read:Felix) were sloppy and made enormous mistakes.]]

** Season 12 Episode 10, he's the one telling Felix [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim to stand down and let his men kill the Reds and Blues while he [[VillainBall incessantly monologues]]. It really seems that, had it been all up to him, the Reds and Blues would all be dead a long time ago.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He seems genuinely concerned when the guys leave and goes to retrieve them against Kimball's orders, until it turns out that he actually left so he could kill them all.

* TookALevelInJerkass: In Season 11, he was nice, friendly, serious, and seemed to genuinely care about the fate of the New Republic. In Season 12, particularly Episode 3, it's revealed that he's much more brash, self-centered, and snarky than he previously let on. [[WhamEpisode Episode 10 reveals this to be an inversion, as this is more in-line with his [[TheSociopath real personality.]]]]

He's lying about his true allegiance, of course. He is TheSociopath, not quite as nice as the Reds and Blues thought he was, and is down right evil, and the reason why this CivilWar has not ended. In comparison to Locus, his partner, he is the more evil of the pair, preferring to twist the knife rather than kill and get on with it. He serves as one the primary antagonists of ''The Chorus Trilogy'', and the most proactive one in Season 12.

!'''Malcom Hargrove''' (The Chairman of the Oversight Sub-Committee and Charon Industries CEO)

-->'''Voiced By:''' Jack Lee

Malcolm Hargrove is the CEO of Charon Industries and the current main antagonist of ''Red vs Blue''.

Initally, Chairman Malcom Hargrove served as the counterpart to the Director during ''Reconstruction'', where they alternated reading memos directed at each other during the start of each episode. The Chairman leads a committee to review what has occurred with the Freelancer Project, mostly to find out how it can have multiple [=AI's=] when they were only given one. Although he starts off calm and friendly in his dealings with the Director, he soon becomes hostile when he realizes that the Director is stalling for time and avoiding answering his questions. In the end, he informs the Director that he is under arrest and that entirety of the moral codes for dealing with [=AIs=] are being re-written due to the Director's actions. In ''Recreation'', he returned to make a deal with Agent Washington to ensure the latter's freedom in exchange for finally getting the evidence necessary to put the Director away.

It isn't until the Season 12 finale that we discover he is the CEO of the giant umbrella company Charon Industries, the mysterious "Control", and the one who masterminded the CivilWar in the first place, hoping it will be profitable for the company. However, the Blood Gulch gang jeopardise his plan on Chorus, showing everyone proof that Locus and Felix were working together and brining the war to a close, now leaving him the target of the wrath not only of the Reds and Blues, but also the entire planet of Chorus. It's implied that he's preparing to fight back though, and has obtained Project Freelancer technology, including F.I.L.S.S. and the Meta's helmet.

* BigBad: He's the main antagonist of the Chorus trilogy, and quite possibly the series overall.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: His initial letters to the Director are actually relatively restrained and calm, and he seems quite content to get the process done ASAP while doing his best to not interfere with the Director's work, while being given relatively little to go on. When he finds out that the Director has broken the law, this attitude is dropped.

-> ''"[[AC:[[VoiceOfTheLegion If the Reds and the Blues manage to reunite...kill them.]]]]"''
-->'''Voiced By:''' Arryn Zech and Jack Lee

Control is the leader of the Space Pirates, first referenced in Season 11 as Locus' superior. They are teased to be Carolina at the end of the season, but that turns out to be a RedHerring. "Control" is in fact an identity directly assumed by Charon Industries CEO Malcolm Hargrove, with Locus, Felix, and the rest of the Space Pirates directly reporting to him.

* BigBad: Of the Chorus trilogy, revealed to be behind Locus and Felix's actions, and the reason the Reds and Blues crashed on Chorus in the first place.
* TheChessmaster: He realizes that nuking the Chorus from orbit would attract attention, but the inhabitants all killing each other would not be as suspicious.
* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen[=/=]HiddenVillain: For two seasons, he was only heard through transmissions, and his true identity was unknown.
* TheManBehindTheMan: To Locus and Felix throughout the Chorus trilogy.
* NonActionBigBad: Locus and Felix are the ones driving the plot while Control gives them orders form afar.
* OmnicidalManiac: He intends on wiping out the entire population of Chorus.
* OpportunisticBastard: Both this and TheChessmaster at the same time. While he has the plan to manipulate Chorus via a CivilWar mostly figured out, he takes advantage of the Reds and Blues to help escalate it, and is still TheChessmaster even then.
* PlayingBothSides: He influenced the Chorus Civil War via Locus and Felix.
* RedHerring: TheStinger of season 11 supposedly reveals that Carolina is Control. Actually, she's just hijacked the Chairman's communications.
* TheVoice: Only "seen" through intercepted voice messages to Locus and Felix.
* VoiceOfTheLegion: The way their transmissions are disordered creates this effect.
* WalkingSpoiler: He is part of a ''third'' party in the Chorus Civil War. Now that's a spoiler. The reveal of him being the Chairman makes it even worse.
* WarForFunAndProfit: Controlling a civil war on Chorus in order to kill everyone so he/the third party can claim the valuable artifacts on the planet.
* XanatosSpeedChess: Though he didn't mean for the Reds and Blues to crash land on Chorus (the pirates just wanted the weapons), he manages to alter his plans to not only include the Reds and Blues in the fighting, but to also use them as martyrs to motivate the citizens of Chorus into a final confrontation.

----
!!!Associated Tropes:

In comparison with Felix, he is very serious about his job, and a firm believer of WhyDontYouJustShootHim, never doing any EvilGloating. He spies on the Reds and Blues throughout the season, and does his best to sabotage any possibility of their rescue, including murdering the pilot who brings Donut, Doc, and Lopez to the crash. However, he has a very creepy fascination with Agent Washington that breaks his emotionless killer personality.

A gray and orange mercenary employed by the New Republic who discovers the Reds and Blues in Season 11. Opposed to Locus and the Federation, he does what he can to keep the Reds and Blues alive and explain their situation to them, revealing that the place that the BGC landed on is a planet on the edge of colonized space, explaining why they have not been rescued, and that the planet is in the midst of a civil war. He is hoping that these "legendary heroes" can tip the balance of the war into the Republic's favor. Season 12 reveals that he is a SociopathicHero, not quite as nice as the Reds and Blues thought he was, though he is still on their side. It's revealed that Locus and Felix were allies during the great war, but they never liked one another. According to Kimball, Felix couldn't return to civilian life after that, and the New Republic hired him on their side for the CivilWar.

However, it's all an act, and he's working ''with'' Locus for Control, and is one of the primary antagonists of the Chorus Trilogy.

* AffablyEvil: He's a pretty casual, jokey kind of guy, even when he's being openly and unapologetically evil.

* BigGood:Subverted - While Kimball may be the leader of the New Republic, she makes it clear the only reason they're still around is Felix, but he's actually working for Control, and a primary antagonist.

However, he's not working for the Federation at all - he's part of the third party in the war, working for Control in leagues with Felix.

!'''"Locus"'''

Season 12 reveals that Locus and Felix were allies during the great war, but they never liked one another. According to Kimball, Locus decided to work with the Federation when he saw Felix being hired by the New Republic as a challenge. However, it's eventually revealed that he is really working with Felix for a third party to wipe out all of the people on Chorus.

* {{Walking Spoiler}}s: The mere fact that there is a third party in the civil war is the twist that turns the ''Chorus Civil War'' story arc on its head during Season 12. They are also this due to reporting not only to Locus, but also to Felix.

[[folder:In general]]

The Insurrection is a military force made up of soldiers who have broken off from the UNSC. They serve as the main antagonists for the Freelancers. They are possibly [[MythologyGag a nod to]] ''Halo'' canon, in which prior to the war with the [[ScaryDogmaticAliens Covenant]], Earth (and human-controlled space) was undergoing a civil war between the UNSC and a coalition of rebel groups, for the control of human colonies. Incidentally, it was during this civil war the SPARTAN-II program was initiated, as a countermeasure against the rebellion.

As Season 12 reveals, they are actually a private security force for Charon Industries, a corrupt organization headed by Oversight Subcommittee Chairman Malcolm Hargroove, AKA "Control". They are actually part of the same group that the Space Pirates, Locus, and Felix are a part of.

!'''"Control" Chairman Malcolm Hargrove'''

Locus' mysterious superior, who is assumed to be on the side of the Federation. First referenced in Season 11 by Locus, Control has unknown plans for the Reds and Blues that Locus carries out. At the end of the season Control is revealed to be Carolina.

Except he's ''not'' Carolina, nor is he with the Feds ''at all''. He is part of an [[BiggerBad unknown third party]] that apparently wants the alien technology on Chorus, and he has hired Locus and Felix to wipe out the entire population of Chorus. In order to further his plans, he tells Locus and Felix to report the Reds and Blues as dead, despite the fact they are missing but alive. He is eventually revealed to be the Chairman of the Oversight Sub-Committee Malcolm Hargrove, and the CEO of Charon Industries.

* BigBad: Of Seasons 11 and 12, being Locus's superior and the reason why no rescue has come for the Reds and Blues. He is eventually revealed to be directing Locus and Felix to KillEmAll, and is ultimately the reason why the ship the Reds and Blues were on crashed
* TheChessmaster: Though not yet seen, he is planning ''everything''. He realizes that nuking the Chorus from orbit would attract attention, but the inhabitants all killing each other would not be as suspicious.
* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: So far, we only hear their transmissions. No wait, never mind. He's the Chairman.
* HiddenVillain: Well, at least until Season 12, when he is revealed as the Chairman.
* TheManBehindTheMan: Of Seasons 11 and 12 to Locus and Felix.
* NonActionBigBad: Locus and Felix is the one I mean, ''are'' the ones mostly driving the plot while Control gives him or them orders.

* RedHerring: TheStinger of season 11 reveals that Carolina is Control. Actually, she's just hijacked the Chairman's communications.

A gray and orange mercenary employed by the New Republic who discovers the Reds and Blues in season 11. Opposed to Locus and the Federation, he does what he can to keep the Reds and Blues alive and explain their situation to them, revealing that the place that the BGC landed on is a planet on the edge of colonized space, explaining why they have not been rescued, and that the planet is in the midst of a civil war. He is hoping that these "legendary heroes" can tip the balance of the war into the Republic's favor.

Season 12 reveals that he is a SociopathicHero, not quite as nice as the Reds and Blues thought he was, though he is still on their side. It's revealed that Locus and Felix were allies during the great war, but they never liked one another. According to Kimball, Felix couldn't return to civilian life after that, and the New Republic hired him on their side for the CivilWar. However, it's eventually revealed that he's actually working with Locus for a third party to kill everyone on Chorus.

* {{Adorkable}}: The way he [[ItMakesSenseInContext makes a joke about armour]]. Before Wash even reacts to said joke, Felix just apologizes and says he was only trying to lighten the mood. The way he shows off his light shield also fits neatly under this. Potentially subverted as of Episode 10, when his allegiance with Locus is revealed, it's likely all part of the act.

* BigBadWannabe: The fact that he is a FauxAffablyEvil SmugSnake who loves to twist the knife makes him seem like a big threat when it's also what causes him to lose.

* BigGood: Kimball may be the leader of the New Republic, but she makes it clear the only reason they're still around is Felix. Subverted. He's actually EvilAllAlong, and plans on getting the entire New Republic killed.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Starts off quite affable, but once the Reds and Blues agree to help he gets much more jerkass-y, as there's little he needs from them anymore. Not to mention the fact he's, you know, a sociopath and straight up villain.
* BrokenBird: Shows signs of this. Later confirmed in Episode 3 of Season 12. Then again, it's possible that he's just lying.

* EveryManHasHisPrice: Literally says this regarding the Reds and Blues, and how they are NotSoDifferent, only working with the New Republic to help their friends.
* EvilGloating: He's more of an anti-hero, but he's hardly above gloating or grandstanding. Actually, it's just EvilGloating. And he kicks it into high gear after he shows his true colors. True to this trope, this buys enough time for Carolina to [[BigDamnHeroes save the Reds and Blues. He was doing it as a form of therapy after dealing with the Reds and Blues on his side. He does it again in episode 18, only for it to bite him in the ass when Tucker and Church are revealed to have been recording what he has said, and it is broadcast to the Capital, where the Republic and the Feds are fighting.]]

* FalseFriend: Downplayed in that he's just not as friendly as the Reds and Blues think he is. Then it's revealed that he was playing them the whole time.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He's a pretty casual, jokey kind of guy, even when he's being openly and unapologetically evil.

* HiredGuns: A mercenary working for the rebels on the planet the Blood Gulchers crashed on.

** He was really hired by Control along with Locus and is only pretending to work with the rebels. Not that the rebels know that.

* IllKillYou: You'd think he'd end up saying this to his [[TheRival rival Locus]], but in actuality he says his own version of this when it's revealed that Tucker has broadcast his entire MotiveRant to the capital, where all the Republic and Federation troops are currently stationed. [[VillainBall Shoulda kept the mouth shut buddy. ]]

->''"[[TheGovernment We can all understand that a shift from autonomy to oversight can be a difficult adjustment for anyone, but especially someone of your standing.]] In that spirit we have attempted to accommodate your ''brief'' [[TranquilFury explanations to our serious inquires.]] Nonetheless, I feel compelled to inform you that even ''our'' trust has its limits."''
-->'''Voiced By:''' Jack Lee

Chairman Malcom Hargrove serves as the counterpart to the Director during ''Reconstruction'', where they alternate reading memos directed at each other during the start of each episode. The Chairman leads a committee to review what has occurred with the Freelancer Project, mostly to find out how it can have multiple [=AI's=] when they were only given one. Although he starts off calm and friendly in his dealings with the Director, he soon becomes hostile when he realizes that the Director is stalling for time and avoiding answering his questions. In the end, he informs the Director that he is under arrest and that entirety of the moral codes for dealing with [=AIs=] are being re-written due to the Director's actions.

In ''Recreation'', he returns, and has made a deal with Agent Washington to ensure the latter's freedom in exchange for finally getting the evidence necessary to put the Director away.

In the Season 12 finale, not only is it revealed that he is the true identity of "Control", but that he is also the CEO of Charon Industries, a gigantic corporation involved in many businesses, with their most prominent being weapon and technology development. He was also the one who funded the UNSC splinter group that fought against the Freelancers in Season 10. He's also obtained the Meta's helmet, calling it good news...

* AntiHero: While his priorities ultimately do seem to be good in the end, WordOfGod and his voice actor both argue that he is trying to increase his own standing and power as well, and using the alien tech on Chorus to get to that position.
* BigGood: Very little is known about him, but he seems to be this. Though abrasive, his goal is to take down the Director for committing war crimes. Completely subverted in the Season 12 finale, where he is the BigBad, and the one who hired Locus and Felix in the first place. It's also implied that he is the ultimate BiggerBad of the series.
* BiggerBad:
** In Season 8, where he sent the BigBadDuumvirate of Washington and the Meta to Valhalla to retrieve the Epsilon AI.
** Season 12's finale reveals him to be this for the Planet Chorus arc, as he's revealed to be the 'Control' that Felix and Locus report to.
** He's actually this for the series as a whole when it's revealed that he funded the Insurrection in the first place, and is quite possibly bigger than the Director.
* BritishAccents: Though a different variation from Wyoming's. Justified as his VA is a real Brit.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: As the CEO of Charon Industries, he has hired Locus and Felix to wipe out Chorus.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The Chairman is only known as "Chairman" in most cases. Sponsor-only information gave his real name initially, but his name was eventually revealed in Episode 7 of Season 10. He's more directly called by name in the season finale of Season 12.
* EvilerThanThou: [[EvilAllAlong As revealed in the finale of Season 12, he is even worse than the Director ever was. While the Director operated Project Freelancer in order to bring back his beloved Allison, causing a lot of property damage in the process, Hargrove is willing to annihilate the population of an entire planet (Chorus) for money.]]
* TheFaceless: He has only been seen from the back of his head (showing him as having fair skin and graying, short-cut, black hair). He's later revealed fully in Season 12, however.
* GoodIsNotNice: In order to retrieve the Epsilon unit, he was more than willing to send the [[AxCrazy Meta and Wash to Valhalla, when Wash made it clear he wouldn't be ''asking'' the for Reds and Blues to return it. Of course, he's ultimately not as good as he'd like to paint himself as.]]
* TheGovernment: He is the face of and highest ranking member of the UNSC in the series, as both a member of the government and the commanding officer in charge of a maximum security prison.
* HauledBeforeASenateSubcommittee: To be precise, he is associated with the UNSC Oversight Subcommittee. However, this is subverted in that when he does figure out the Director's experiments, he doesn't just have him hauled there, but rather flat out has him arrested by a group of UNSC troops.
* HeroAntagonist: In Season 7 and 8. He only sent Wash and the Meta to Valhalla in order to get the evidence needed to put [[KarmaHoudini the Director behind bars.]] He even implied that he was expecting Washington to ''ask'' for the AI, instead of taking a more brutal approach immediately. He still sent them anyway, and it turns out though, he's not really that heroic at all.
* TheMeanBrit: ZigZaggedTrope. Relatively reasonable for the most part, but see HeroAntagonist and GoodIsNotNice for more information. On second thought, he's more of an EvilBrit after he's revealed to be "Control".
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: WordOfGod (his VA) is that his voice was based on Patrick Stewart.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: His initial letters to the Director are actually relatively restrained and calm, and he seems quite content to get the process done ASAP while doing his best to not interfere with the Director's work, while being given relatively little to go on. When he finds out that the Director has broken the law, this attitude is dropped.
* SinisterSchnoz: Has a rather big nose as seen in the pic.
* TranquilFury: The letters between the Chairman and the Director in ''Reconstruction'' gradually build in intensity until the Chairman's final letter, which is delivered very calmly, but sternly, telling the Director that officers have been dispatched to arrest him.

->''"[[WhamLine Ha, ha,]] [[IsThatWhatHeToldYou is]] [[LaResistance that]] what [[BiggerBad he]] told [[UnwittingPawn you]] [[HeroAntagonist we]] are?"''
-->'''Voiced By:''' Michael Joplin

Leader of the Insurrection group that the Freelancers regularly combat, who has a thing going with Connecticut.

After Connecticut was killed by Tex, he donned her helmet. He shows up in ''Recreation'', in charge of a dig site in the desert. As it turns out, his alien sidekick "Smith," and his men took over the operation, killing the other men (and aliens) working there. They are evidently after a pyramid-shaped superweapon, which Tucker theorizes they intend to sell to the highest bidder. He is very unwilling to tell Sarge, Grif, and Caboose anything about what he's doing in the desert, leading them to get suspicious, and rightfully so. After finally entering the dig site, C.T. ordered Jones (one of his men) to disable Epsilon-Church, who happens to be inside [[AveMachina one of those Forerunner monitors]]. That enraged the Elites and led to them killing off his forces.
