* EvilerThanThou: As revealed in the finale of Season 12, he's 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 [[WarForFunAndProfit money]].

* BadBoss: Egregiously so. His dialogue explicitly reveals that he sacrifices dozens, if not hundreds, of his employees to supply his...''less savory'' employees: he is sending some of his own ships (and ships and men under the jurisdiction of the UNSC) into Chorus's region of space to have them shipwrecked by tractor beams or infiltrated and stolen by his other men. He also makes it clear to Locus and Felix that if they don't speed things up, he'll have them killed.

->''"Everything I've built... Everything I've worked towards, rests upon a strong foundation. An intricate web of partners, politicians and clients each supporting one another and right now... your thread is straining to support the rest. I think I know what the problem is. I think, it's your motivation. Clearly your monetary compensation isn't enough. So I'd like to try something different."''

* FamousLastWords: "[[OhCrap W-WAIT!]]" when a grenade blast throws him off the tower.

* AxCrazy: According to Felix, which is why he goes by the name of his armor instead of his actual name. Wash is kind of freaked out by this. Locus himself denies this, taking offense to [[GratuitousSpanish Lopez]] calling him insane. Actually, it's Felix who has the [[TheSociopath mental disorder]]. However, Locus' behavior still seems to indicate that Locus may not be sane anyways.

** Calling him insane. [[LanguageBarrier Lopez]] finds this out the hard way.

* BookEnds: He reveals his betrayal by asking Tucker to toss him a grenade while holding up his DeflectorShield to seemingly protect the Blood Gulch Crew from Locus and his men, then smugly complimenting him on his throw and tossing it aside. He dies when Tucker throws a grenade at him, smugly telling him to catch it, while he holds up his DeflectorShield to defend himself from a bomb fired at him by the Blood Gulch Crew.

* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Becomes this with Locus after TheReveal. They're almost never apart, repeatedly fight together, and their conversations show a lot of the operations on Charon's side of the war.

* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Becomes this with Felix after TheReveal. They're almost never apart, repeatedly fight together, and their conversations show a lot of the operations on Charon's side of the war.

* HateSink: While most villains are either too [[LaughablyEvil entertaining]] or too [[EvilIsCool badass]] to genuinely hate, the sole exception is [[EvilAllAlong Felix]]. Although he at first seems LovableRogue JerkWithAHeartOfGold, he gleefuly shows his TrueColors halfway through season 12 when it's revealed that he's been [[ManipulativeBastard manipulating the Reds and Blues]] into perpetuating a civil war with goal of killing everyone on both sides. In a show which has its share of {{Jerkass}}es, Felix is the only character whose sociopathy is ''not'' PlayedForLaughs, and is hated by the fans possibly more than [[BigBad the guy who's actually paying him]] to commit his atrocities.

-->'''Locus:''' ''(Stuck in a one-sided hug to his waist with his arms stretched out into the air)'' "I hate this..."

* GoodCostumeSwitch: After his HeelFaceTurn, he incorporates some white into his armor and gives it a friendlier appearance.

* HeelFaceTurn: After Santa helps him realize that he is being controlled by Felix, he chooses to abandon him and instead helps the Blood Gulch Crew activate the Communication Temple. He then disappears, vowing to [[TheAtoner make things right]]
* HeelRealization: Begins down this route in Episode 7 of Season 13, after seeing his fear in the trials for becoming a true warrior that he had become a monster rather than a soldier, and that Felix has become even worse than him. Cemented in Episode 19 of the same season, when Santa flat out spells out that ''he'' is what Felix is afraid of, letting him realize that he was keeping him following orders to make sure he never got out of his dependence on Felix and his ShellShockedVeteran status. Spelled out in his ShutUpHannibal to Felix.

* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: He doesn't bat an eye when Lopez calls him a douche multiple times, but snaps when he indirectly calls him insane.

* LanguageBarrier: Averted, as he's bilingual, and is even the first person to actually understand Lopez's insults. Turns out to be a ChekhovsSkill in Season 15, as when the other Reds and Blues send Lopez into space to find help. If he'd run into anyone else, they most likely wouldn't understand him, but luckily, Locus finds him and answers the cry for help.

** On a more [[{{Irony}} ironic]] level, [[GratuitousLatin ''locus'' is the Latin word for place or location.]] Locus is a StealthExpert, and is known for using his [[InvisibilityCloak Active Camouflage]] to vanish on the spot, making his actual location unknown.

* NotSoSimilar: Locus compared himself to the Meta/Agent Maine and believed that they both sought perfection by being the perfect weapon. The Counselor corrects Locus by telling him that while he seeks perfection by being a soldier and following orders, the Meta sought perfection by [[PinocchioSyndrome striving to be human]].

* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: By his own admission, Locus belongs in a cell for all the people he's killed. However, [[TheAtoner he'd much rather make amends for his misdeeds personally]].

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: He and Locus hated each other during the war, which led to a bitter rivalry afterwards. Though actually, it led to a bitter ''partnership'', as even though they hate each other, they work quite well together and continue to do so until just before his end.

* TomTheDarkLord: His codename is "Felix," which is a fairly unassuming name. Suffice to say, it doesn't even begin to describe the absolute monster that he is. His real name, Isaac Gates, isn't much better.

* AmbiguousDisorder: His apparent lack of free will, that fact that he left his name behind, his denial towards his actions being anything but evil and insistence that he's a "true soldier", and how he acts towards Washington all seem to indicate that there's ''something'' wrong with him, though it's unknown what (PTSD is a strong candidate, as Santa notes that he was "broken by war").

* AxCrazy: According to Felix, which is why he goes by the name of his armor instead of his actual name. Wash is kind of freaked out by this. Locus himself denies this, taking offense to Lopez calling him insane. Actually, it's Felix who has the [[TheSociopath mental disorder]]. However, Locus' behavior still seems to indicate that Locus may not be sane anyways.

* BerserkButton: Felix's EvilGloating? ''That's'' what pisses him off big time.

-->'''Locus:''' ''Stuck in a one-sided hug to his waist with his arms stretched out into the air'' "I hate this..."

* VillainRespect: Felix expresses legitimate respect for [[TheStoic the Counselor]]’s lack of fear at having a gun pointed at his head and managing to talk his way into joining the Space Pirates, which is the only time he actually shows respect to ''anyone'', much less one of his own colleagues.

* VillainSong[=/=]TheVillainSucksSong: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpGzUQotZzU His Name Is Felix]]" from the Season 13 bloopers.

* AtrociousAlias: He actually calls himself "Sharkface", which Felix makes fun of. When he ambushes the group in Episode 10, the following dialogue ensues:
-->'''Caboose''': [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo Jinkies!]] It's ''Sharkface!''\\
'''Tucker''': Caboose, if you're gonna give him a nickname, don't make it ''that'' stupid.

--> '''Sharkface:''' Over? No. You can break me, burn me, bury me alive; but as long as I'm still breathing it will never be over. I will hunt you. I will burn you! As long as I'm alive, you're all as good as dead! ''(Wash and Kimball shoot him dead)''

* DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[invoked]] After being one of the main threats of Season 13, he is quickly shot to death by Wash and Kimball in Episode 16. WordOfGod said this was intentional so as to represent how Sharkface's quest for revenge had corrupted him to the point where his ultimate death deserved to be unceremonious.

* FatalFlaw: Revenge. He's allowed himself to be so consumed by it that it blinds him by the end of his and Carolina's final fight and he is killed by his hate-filled rant

* RevengeBeforeReason: He was so focused on his revenge that it clouds his judgement, resulting in him being shot down in the street like a mad dog.

** To Washington: Both had been deeply affected by the actions of Project Freelancer and ended up being jaded and bitter afterwards, seeking revenge against those that wronged them. However, Washington is able to let go of his hate after realizing it did him more harm than good, Sharkface is incapable of coming to the same conclusion and dies for it.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: After his defeat by Carolina in their rematch, he's left exhausted and stumbling on the ground, then he starts ranting about how as long as he's alive, he'll keep coming back for revenge. This prompts Kimball and Washington to simply shoot him on the spot.

* TokenGoodTeammate: A collective case for Charon Industries. They're the only soldiers in their employ to have never done terrible things (at least from what we can see) and were only abandoned to die due to their gross incompetence.

* ItsPersonal: Develops a ''special'' level of hatred for the Reds and Blues due to them constantly screwing with his plans, to the point where he wastes valuable time he could've spent going into hiding after Epsilon broadcast his message to the entire galaxy instead going personally to Chorus and trying to kill off the survivors.

* PlayingBothSides: He influenced the Chorus Civil War via Locus and Felix.

** Then when his activities are publicly revealed, he promptly sets a course to Chorus to deal with the Reds and Blues personally, even though it'd probably be more prudent [[EvilIsPetty to seek refuge from the law]].

* BigBadDuumvirate: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]], as the two are CoDragons for Malcolm Hargrove, but Felix and Locus are the most immediate threats of the Chorus Trilogy. As the leaders of the Space Pirates, the two are responsible for fueling the civil war, and receive far greater enmity from both the Reds and Blues and the inhabitants of Chorus for their betrayal. Hargrove himself is more of a GreaterScopeVillain who doesn't even get directly involved until the last episode of the trilogy, after Locus breaks free of Felix's manipulations and Felix himself dies. Hargrove is ultimately the greater threat, and Felix himself is [[BigBadWannabe fairly reliant on Locus]], but the two are nevertheless the [[TheHeavy much more prominent and impactful antagonists]].

Hargrove is the bigger threat in the long run, but Felix and Locus [[TheHeavy are far more prominent and impactful antagonists]].

* NGOSuperpower: They have enough resources to maintain a small army, including a powerful battleship, and are able to wage war on an entire planet. However, this trope is ultimately [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] in the grand scheme of things, as Charon had to rely on {{False Flag Operation}}s to get the people of Chorus to murder each other, and once the warring factions unite they prove strong enough to overwhelm Charon's forces despite both having been already nearly destroyed at that point. Once the [=UNSC=] gets informed of the situation, it's an automatic loss for Hargrove.

** To Wyoming, the other ColdSniper antagonist in the series. Wyoming is Laughably Evil, while Locus is a KnightofCerebus. Both are soldiers trying to fulfill their orders and play The Dragon to the Big Bad of the season(s). However, Locus is cold, calculating, and to the point while Wyoming is hammy, prideful, and likes to draw things out. Locus constantly makes use of his armor ability, while Wyoming only uses his at the very end. However, Locus is manipulated by his partner, and ultimately strives to redeem himself for what he had done. While Wyoming is a manipulator, attempting to put all the pieces into motion before his (final) death.

** On yet another level, the reason Locus goes by the name of his armour type is because his CO told him back in the war that a soldier is nothing more than a suit of armour with a gun and no will of their own. This is the archetype Locus aspires to live by until he finally realises that Felix is using that to manipulate him into being his puppet.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: After his true allegiance is revealed, absolutely nobody likes him. The BGC and the inhabitants of Chorus despise him for being a traitor, and his own partner Locus, his colleagues Sharkface and the Counselor, and even his own men hate him for being an asshole.

* ThrownOutTheAirlock: Does this to the prisoners aboard the ''Tartarus'' to separate those who can't/won't fight from those who can. It was just one in an entire string of KickTheDog moments he has in the opening to Season 13
