An Axe To Grind is no longer a trope


* AnAxeToGrind: He butches a lumberjack with an ax for repeatedly making a fool of him. To be fair, it's Jake's fault for being stupid enough to be fooled by the guy.

Disambig. per TRS

* CorruptHick: Listen to his voice! And he's very much morally corrupt, being a drug lord.



* LargeHam: Although most of the characters give various degrees of DullSurprise, Colt is definitely the most vocal of the Devil's Hand, ChewingTheScenery with his DeepSouth, CorruptHick accent.

Added DiffLines:

* AmbitionIsEvil: He desires nothing more than absolute power and will do anything to attain it.
* ArchEnemy: To the Conways sans the young Mikey, but especially Jake.
* ArchnemesisDad: He's this to Ellie for his horrible abuse of her and his wife. She even wishes him dead at the end.

* BigBad: As the leader of the Devil's Hand. He also has enmity with the Conways that goes further back then his gang, making him pretty much responsible for everything.
* ChewingTheScenery: When he goes into his MotiveRant at the end, he's hamming the scenery up with wide gestures.
* TheDreaded: He's feared as some kind of boogeyman in his gang, with most members not even being permitted to see him but being fully aware of how violent he is.
* EvilFormerFriend: To Toledo Conway, Jake's father.
* FlunkyBoss: His fight consists of a gauntlet of paramilitary goons coming at Jake, followed by a bike chase where he's flanked by elite guards.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Toledo scarred his face just as he was about to take his wife.
* RasputinianDeath: Suffers this at the end. First, Jake jumps onto his bike and gouges his eyes out, then Caesar drives off a cliff while blinded, but survives the fall only to be crushed by his bike, which starts leaking petrol. Finally, Jake throws his lighter away, igniting the petrol and causing the bike and Caesar to explode.
* {{Sadist}}: He literally expresses there is almost no greater joy in life than hurting others.
* TheSociopath: A textbook case of a megalomaniacal narcissist and killer.

!!John "Caesar" McKenzie

to:

!!John "Caesar" McKenzie{{McKenzie}}



The leader of the Devil's Hand. Originally a close friend of Toledo Conway, Caesar grew to enjoy the thrill of hurting others and desired to be something more than a humble biker. Betraying Toledo, Caesar steadily amassed support to transform his hometown into a criminal empire and deposed his former friend by drowning him in debt, taking everything away from him but his wife, whom Caesar lusted after. After Toledo fled with his wife following a lost "all or nothing" race, Caesar, feeling his ego was wounded, brutally murdered both of them and passed an order to hunt down every remaining Conway and their friends to the last child.

The NumberTwo to Caesar and the biggest man of the Devil's Hand besides him.
----
* TheDragon: Directly to Caesar.
* FacialHorror: The left side of his face is horribly mutated and a metal plate covers one of his eyes.
* IronicName: "Pretty Boy." Jake even casts a lampshade hanging on it.
* IronicDeath: Jake finishes him off by mutilating what's left of his good face.
* NoodleIncident: The bad side of his face? That was [[BadBoss Caesar's doing.]] It's not made clear why he did that.
* SurroundedByIdiots: He says as much before pulling out of his shotgun to deal with Jake himself.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Caesar. His last moments are even pledging absolute loyalty to his strength.

Pretty Boy's right-hand woman. Jake helps her out with some insane errands that can only be explained as padding out the game.
----
* AbsoluteCleavage: Her short is so low cut it's amazing her rack doesn't spill out.
* TheDragon: To Pretty Boy.
* FailedASpotCheck: Despite being the direct subordinate of the second highest ranked member of the Devil's Hand...she somehow fails to identify Jake, even as he's wearing a jacket with his family name on it. Keep in mind everyone in the gang up to the lowest mooks have profiles of him and are ordered to kill on sight.
* FetchQuest: She has Jake steal a coveted bike she and Pretty Boy want, at which point she'll lead him to her boss. Why Jake doesn't just torture her for information like everyone else is a wild guess.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Her fate is totally unaccounted for after she takes Jake to Pretty Boy's home.

* LargeHam: Although most of the characters give various degrees of DullSurprise, Colt is definitely the most vocal of the Devil's Hand, ChewingTheScenery with his DeepSouth, CorruptHick accent.

to:

* BadBoss:
BadBoss: His subordinates are all afraid of him and he's noted to take fingers off anyone that slightly irks him.
* CultOfPersonality:
CultOfPersonality: He cultivates one of these devoted not to the worship of the Devil's Hand, [[{{Narcissist}} but to him.]]
* FaceDeathWithDignity:
DisproportionateRetribution: He mentions he once ripped off the fingers of one of his cooks for serving him food that made him ill that day.
* {{Fingore}}:
FaceDeathWithDignity: He does give Jake information, but he has no apprehension of fear of dying, cursing Jake to the last.
* {{Jerkass}}:
{{Fingore}}: He's known for ripping fingers off as punishment to those that offend him. This is karmically turned on him when Jake breaks each of his fingers.
* KarmicDeath:InsultBackfire: He calls Jake a "rotten son of a bitch" but Jake only muses he "doesn't know the half of it."
* {{Jerkass}}: He views everyone as beneath him and is a massive jackass. Fitting his name, he's a royal dick.
* KarmicDeath: He's drowned in the baptism altar of his own church.

One of the highest ranked Devil's Hand members, serving as CoDragons with King Dick to Pretty Boy, Caesar's only Dragon. As opposed to Dick, he is open to people and to who the lower lieutenants answer.
----
* AintTooProudToBeg: He begs and tries to bargain with Jake to let him go. Despite doing everything he told him to, however, Jake doesn't have any of it and feeds him to his wood chipper.
* BadBoss: His loggers work in terror of his wrath. As the Devil's Hand is concerned, Steve is blatantly afraid of him, and he even hits him during a conversation.
* TheBrute: He fits this niche most in the Devil's Hand, being the toughest physical combatant next to the lower-ranked Meathook.
* ChainsawGood: He readies a double-bladed chainsaw to fight Jake with.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: He's fed to one of his own wood chippers.
* FlunkyBoss: Fought alongside several mooks.
* FourEyesZeroSoul: His oval glasses are his most distinctive feature.
* KarmicDeath: With how hideously unsafe his logging facility is designed to be, it's ironic he meets his end through one of his wood chippers.

Added DiffLines:

A drug lord central in the Devil's Hand operations.
----
* CorruptHick: Listen to his voice! And he's very much morally corrupt, being a drug lord.
* DefiantToTheEnd: He uses his last moments only to weakly taunt Jake.
* DirtyCoward: Subverted. Unlike most Devil's Hand goons, he fully stands his ground against Jake in several gunfights.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: PlayedWith. Despite the game setting him as this, Steve comes after him and he can be taken out before Meathook or Anvil.
* IronicDeath: Jake kills him with colt revolvers.
* WouldHurtAChild: He brutally bashes Mikey's face in with his rifle when interrogating Jake.


Added DiffLines:

A Vietnam veteran that went mad from his tour of duty. Cook only hooked up with the Devil's Hand to procure a means of exacting revenge on America, which he later finds in the form of an atomic bomb...
----
* AxCrazy: He's trying to annihilate all of America in retribution for what he witnessed in Vietnam.
* DragonTheirFeet: As his story is independent of Caesar's conflict with Jake, he can be killed after him.
* DragonWithAnAgenda: He admits to having no real allegiance to the Devil's Hand past getting what he needs for his own agenda.
* FinalBoss: Of his titular DLC, "Cook's Mad Recipe."
* {{Foil}}: Like Jake, he is a shellshocked Vietnam veteran. Unlike Jake, who tried to adjust to a peaceful life, Cook desires to destroy his country in revenge.
* KarmicDeath: Tyrell traps him with his own armed nuke as he sets the ship to sail far away, obliterating him in the process.
* OmnicidalManiac: He desires nothing less than the total destruction of America, reciting its annihilation as MadnessMantra.
* ShellShockedVeteran: Like Jake, albeit far worse.
* TimedBoss: If he isn't defeated on time, the nukes will go off and kill everyone.

!!Steven


Added DiffLines:

A slippery man a rung above Meathook and Anvil in authority, answering directly to Triple Six.
----
* BadassBiker: His defining trait is he's a great racer, enough that Jake can't even catch up to him until he makes adjustments to his ride.
* DirtyCoward: Despite being a SmugSnake that took every opportunity to taunt Jake and even boss his fellow Devil's Hand cohorts around, when Jake catches up to him, he's begging for his life.
* KarmicDeath: Jake blows him up with his own dynamite when he's through with interrogating him.
* NervousWreck: He's a stuttering wreck when reporting to Triple Six. Besides likely being intimidated by his superior, the man owes it to his drug abuse and tells him to knock it off.
* ThrowDownTheBomblet: His main weapon and form of attack is throwing dynamite.

Added DiffLines:

A particularly AxCrazy Devil's Hand lieutenant said to be CoDragons with Anvil in the muscle department. Notable for murdering Mikey at the start of the story.
----
* AxCrazy: He is a homicidal maniac even described as a short fuse.
* BearHug: His most dangerous move in his fight is this.
* BloodKnight: Meathook is the champion of an illegal fight ring he also spends most of his time in.
* CombatPragmatist: When the tides turn against him in his fight, Steve hands him a wired bat to even the odds in what was supposed to be a fistfight.
* DuelBoss: He's fought one on one in a straight fight.
* {{Hypocrite}}: He professes the importance of honor and how Jake has none. When Jakes calls him out, however, he confesses he doesn't really believe his own words all that much either.
* YouHaveFailedMe: And HeKnowsTooMuch. Steve kills him so he doesn't relay any information to Jake's interrogation.
* WouldHurtAChild: He slit Mikey's throat and mockingly expresses no remorse for it whatsoever.

A DumbMuscle brute stated to be at the bottom of the pole in regards to Devil's Hand lieutenants.


Added DiffLines:

* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: His infamous introductory scene has him randomly spout some bullshit of once torturing a calf to intimidate Mikey.
* DefiantToTheEnd: Unlike almost every Devil's Hand member that comes after him, he never caves to Jake's intimidating tactics and only mocks him to the very end.
* DumbMuscle: He's even described as such in promotional material.
* PaperTiger: Ironically, despite his burly appearance, he spends all his time running from Jake and never confronts him in a physical fight.
* SlashedThroat: How Jake kills him.
* VillainHasAPoint: He does point out he saw Jake clearly die when he's cornered; the game never bothers to explain how he survived so it'd make sense Anvil is confused.

Mikey's girlfriend before his death. She decides to tag along and help Jake in little ways against the Devil's Hand.
----
* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler: Caesar hit her and her mother all the time by her own words. But considering how evil he is, it's not too unbelievable.]]
* MoralityPet: Jake refers to her as such.
* NiceGirl: In this CrapsackWorld, she can be said to be the only genuinely kindhearted character, without a spot of a criminal rap sheet either.
* TheRunaway: [[spoiler: She fled home due to Caesar's abuse and took shelter with the Conways.]]

to:

* BewareTheNiceOnes:
AFatherToHisMen: He very much cares for the well-being of his troops and occasionally has Jake look out for the ones he feels are more troubled than they let on.
* BigGood:
BewareTheNiceOnes: He's not that nice, but he's relatively passive compared to Jake. Despite this, he reminds Jake no one fucks with him when he blows up Cook with his own nuke after he stole said nuke under his watch and murdered many of his men that day.
* BlackBestFriend:
BigGood: Well, for a measure of "good" considering he is aiding [[NominalHero Jake Conway]], but he supplies Jake his weapons in his fight against the Devil's Hand.
* ScaryBlackMan:BlackBestFriend: To Jake and the rest of the Conways by extension.
* OldFriend: He and Toledo went way back.
