History Characters / Redfall

[[folder:The Gateway[=/=][[spoiler:Grace]]]]

* CannotSpitItOut: He starts to warn the protagonists that there was a 6th Master Vampire (the flashback to them exsanguinating the Gateway clearly shows there was a 6th figure present receiving her blood), but then stops himself and says "no, it couldn't be". He seems to believe this person is either already dead or for some reason won't undergo the same transformation as the other 5 did; whatever his reasoning, the ending scene seems to show he was clearly mistaken.

* BoomHeadshot: He has perks that increase his headshot damage against human enemies, and also boosts his teammates' headshot damage against human enemies.

* NonPlayerCompanion: Bribon isn't just a summon like Jason or Raven, but an actual [=NPC=] that will follow Remi around the entire game and help in combat (though he's only equipped with a low-power, single-shot gun that can't be upgraded, and while enemies can attack him they tend to prioritize actual players instead unless he's in distraction mode).

* ActionSurvivor: Compared to the other characters who have some kind of military background or history with the unnatural before the vampire attack, Layla is just a college student who gained telekinetic abilities during the vampire attack.

* LongRangeFighter: He has no ability to deal out area-of-effect damage, putting him at a disadvantage in intense close-combat situations against multiple enemies (escaping such encounters is what his cloaking device is for). His ultimate is also ineffective at close range, due to being a ghostly sniper rifle which is inaccurate when hipfired and has a long zoom that makes aiming-down-sights at close targets difficult.

* ThrowDownTheBomblet: Her secondary ability is to throw out a sticky satchel of C4 which she can detonate remotely. It only does modest damage at first (knocking off about 1/4th to 1/3rd of a vampire's health), but its damage and radius can be greatly increased with upgrades.

* TheSneakyGuy: His cloaking device and ability to mark enemies through walls makes him the most stealth-focused character. The flip side of this is that he's the only hero without a traversal ability, making him completely dependent on old-fashioned LeParkour to reach out-of-the-way areas. He's also the only hero without a damage-dealing ability outside of his ultimate.

* BuffySpeak: She's written with a very Millenial[=/=]Zoomer quality and speaks in a quite Whedonistic manner.

* MindOverMatter: She has telekinesis similar to that of the vampires, thanks to medical tests done on her by Aevum Pharmaceuticals to cure her migraine headaches. In-game, she can summon an umbrella-shaped shield which blocks bullets and can also be thrown forward as an energy wave, and also create psychic lifts which act like trampolines to either jump to high places or throw enemies into the air.

* SummonMagic: Layla's ultimate calls upon her friendly ex-boyfriend Jason, who seems to have become a different sort of vampire than all the others in Redfall (explained in the tutorial as due to the fact he underwent the same medical experimentation that gave Layla her powers). While he's present, he'll attack Layla's enemies for her.

* SpicyLatina: Underplayed, but present.

* CombatResucitation: With upgrades, Jason can revive Layla once per summon if she goes down while he's active.

* {{BFG}}: His ultimate is to summon a spectral sniper rifle that deals heavy damage and locks onto enemy heads. At max upgrades it can even shoot enemies through walls in combination with the raven's marking ability.

* ArcSymbol: Butterfly, symbolizing the rejuvenation procedure.

* ArcSymbol: Bell, symbolizing his father's control over him.

* ArcSymbol: Key, symbolizing her control over her patients.

* PersonalityPowers: [[spoiler: As a vampire god, Charles is an endlessly suffering "Bloodbag," fated to be harvested eternally, which reflects both what his cadre did to the Gateway and Charles's guilt over it.]]

A mysterious venture capitalist who found the Gateway.

[[folder:The Gateway]]

* DrawAggro: Remi's primary ability is to order Bribon to go into distraction mode for several seconds; this causes enemies to focus on him rather than on her. Like Jacob's cloak, this is so effective that enemies will stop in mid-attack and switch aggro to Bribon, though unlike the cloak it takes a couple seconds to take effect rather than being instant.
* NonPlayerCompanion: Bribon isn't just a summon like Jason or Crow, but an actual [=NPC=] that will follow Remi around the entire game and help in combat (though he's only equipped with a low-power, single-shot gun that can't be upgraded, and while enemies can attack him they tend to prioritize actual players instead unless he's in distraction mode).

* ThrowDownTheBomblet: Her secondary ability is to throw out a sticky satchel of C4 which she can detonate remotely.

* {{BFG}}: His ultimate is to summon a spectral sniper rifle that deals heavy damage and locks onto enemy heads.

* {{Familiar}}: Jacob has a crow that follows him ever since he received his deadeye. It can even speak, although it does so very sparingly. He can send it out to scout ahead and mark enemies, and with upgrades it will even attack them (however this upgrade also means you can't use it for stealth marking anymore).

* WeakenedByTheLight: His ultimate is to put down a portable [=UV=] projector which releases periodic [=UV=] blasts that petrify any vampires that get in front of it, and will even stagger human enemies.

* MindOverMatter: She has telekinesis similar to that of the vampires, thanks to medical tests done on her by Aevum Pharmaceuticals. In-game, she can summon an umbrella-shaped shield which blocks bullets and can also be thrown forward as an energy wave, and also create psychic lifts which act like trampolines to either jump to high places or throw enemies into the air.

* CombatAndSupport: Remi's ultimate conjures a field around herself and Bribon that rapidly replenishes lost health to any friendly unit that stands in it.

* {{BFG}}: His ultimate is to summon a spectral sniper rifle that deals heavy damage.

* TeleportersAndTransporters: His secondary ability is to throw a teleportation pad that he can teleport to. It has a decent throwing range and gives him by far the greatest traversal ability of any of the heroes (even more so than Layla's lifts, since it can be used to negate fall damage); the flip side of this is that it's not particularly effective in combat (unless you throw the pad ''really'' far like off a cliff) since vampires can teleport short ranges too, though upgrades let you heal and deal increased damage after teleporting.

[[spoiler: In life, she was a woman named Grace with a supernatural talent for healing the sick, through donating her blood to them.]]

* HunterOfMonsters: He has perks that help him put vampires into their DownButNotOut state faster, and also boosts the damage his team does against vampires. Apparently his experience studying and tracking cryptids translates into expertise at fighting the supernatural.

* ShockAndAwe: His primary ability is to throw out a shock lance that latches to surfaces or enemies, and periodically sends out electrical shocks for several seconds.

* TeleportersAndTransporters: His secondary ability is to throw a teleportation pad that he can teleport to. It has a decent throwing range and gives him by far the greatest traversal ability of any of the heroes (even more so than Layla's lifts, since it can be used to negate fall damage); the flip side of this is that it's not particularly effective in combat (unless you throw the pad ''really'' far like off a cliff) since vampires can teleport short ranges too.

* SummonMagic: Layla's ultimate calls upon her friendly ex-boyfriend Jason, who seems to have become a different sort of vampire than all the others in Redfall. While he's present, he'll attack Layla's enemies for her.

* ColdSniper: Admits as much in a cutscene during the hunt for Black Tom.

* TheUnfought: Bellwether Security is in Redfall because Kurz paid them to do it. You find their mission parameters in one of the earliest story missions; they're meant to find the five VIPs of Aevum and kill all witnesses. Kurz himself isn't in the game at all outside of a couple of psychic echoes.

* ActionSurvivor: Compared to the other characters who have some kind of military background or history with the unnatural, Layla is just a college student who gained telekinetic abilities during the vampire attack.
