Added DiffLines:

* AFatherToHisMen: Tavus was well-respected for his dedication to the soldiers under his command. His defection was born of how he had felt that his troops had been treated by the Republic, and he is deeply affected when Needles and Andrik are killed by the Trooper. [[spoiler:It's possible to convince him to surrender by making him realize that his actions are what led to the deaths of everyone under his command, resulting in [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone immense guilt on his part for failing his soldiers]]]].
* AlmightyJanitor: Officially, he held the rank of captain in the Republic Army. However, as the widely-respected commander of [[ElitesAreMoreGlamorous Havoc Squad]], he held more authority in the Republic forces than an average officer of the same rank, and was more commonly referred to as "commander" rather than his official rank.


Added DiffLines:

* TheCaptain: His official rank in the Republic Army was that of captain. However, he is almost universally called "[[CommandingCoolness commander]]", an old Republic Army tradition designating him as [[AlmightyJanitor someone whose authority and skill supersedes any specific rank]].

* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Fuse is the youngest member of the squad.
* BadBoss: The Havoc traitors tend to treat other soldiers under their command in the Sith Empire terribly, but Needles in particular uses his own forces, ''also'' Republic defectors to the Empire like him, as test subjects for his experiments [[spoiler:on making the rakghoul virus worse]].



* DefectorFromDecadence: They view the Republic as a corrupt government that treats their soldiers like dirt... so they defect to TheEmpire, where any non-Sith is a second-class citizen. The Trooper can call them out on this several times.

* DemolitionsExpert: Fuse's role in the squad. As part of the Empire, he's put to work making bombs on Tatooine, though he runs into the issue of the bombs being tested on civilian targets and is imprisoned by Colonel Gorik when he objected. His position as Havoc Squad's demolitions expert is filled in by Tanno Vik after his defection.
* TheEngineer: Gerabox's role in the squad is as their technician; he focused on trying to repair the fallen walker on Ord Mantell and later as part of the Empire designed an assault walker that the Trooper must destroy to defeat him.

* MadDoctor: Needles is referred to as "Doctor Dorant" when spoken of about his lab during the Imperial Agent storyline. True to form, he's an expert on synthesizing combat stimulants and neurology, [[spoiler:skills he puts to use in service to the Sith Empire as part of experiments to weaponize the rakghoul virus by making it fast-acting and [[BadBoss testing it on newly defected Republic troops]]]]. His research and data is sought after during the Imperial Agent storyline by the fallen Jedi Ki Sazen during her search for Doctor Nassan Godera's Ultrawave Transmitter.

* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:Fuse begs you to leave him behind in his cell and stop Colonel Gorik from escaping with his bomb designs, knowing full well that he'll die when the base explodes. You can choose to do as he asks, or rescue him from the cell and allow Gorik to flee the base.]]


Added DiffLines:

* TokenGoodTeammate: Most of the squad are ObviouslyEvil in various ranges of sociopathy. Fuse is the exception, being cordial and nice to the Trooper even while serving the Empire. [[spoiler:He's the only member of Havoc Squad other than Tavus to get a chance at redemption, telling Havoc Squad about his bombs being used on civilian targets. This [[RedemptionEqualsDeath possibly ends with his death]] if you do as he asks and chase down Colonel Gorik to stop him from escaping with his bomb designs instead of saving him from his cell]].
* VillainousLegacy: Doctor Dorant's research on the rakghoul virus continued to live on after his experiments were put to an end by the Trooper.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: On Belsavis, Vik is one of two squadmates who approves of the Trooper executing Gouge, an escaped prisoner that was just recaptured by the squad they've been sent to rescue. While M1-4X simply prioritizes the mission to extract Dagger Wing and sees Gouge as dead weight to escort back to Republic custody, Vik actually joins in on savagely beating the Gouge if the Trooper pistol whips him.

* RoyalBrat: A milder variant than most, but he's clearly irritated at the idea he's ''not'' in charge of the Trooper and Havoc Squad, to the point where the cell guard expresses relief that ''someone'' didn't kiss his ass at the end of the Alderaan questline should the Trooper not give in to his demands. He also complains directly to ''General Garza'' in an attempt to get the Trooper reprimanded, but all Garza does to them is basically chide them about keeping their allies happy and then giving them a light slap on the wrist.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DaranNorris

The nephew of the Great Duke Organa, whose grudge against Markus Thul makes him a bit of a speedbump for Troopers who aren't willing to kowtow to him.
----
* EntitledBastard: He sees himself as holding more control over the Trooper than he does, failing to understand being son of House Organa's duke does ''not'' make him privy to military secrets or have any say in what the Trooper does with Markus Thul.
* HonorBeforeReason: The sort of honor practiced by the nobility of Alderaan at that. He seems to think everyone operates on it too and fails to understand that the Trooper isn't telling him their mission because it's classified, not because he's not trusted.

Both are the commander to the military classes of the factions and both tend to advocate shady actions, though Keeper is more about mitigating destruction while Garza encourages it. Another similarity is that they were both masters of their field before being taken out of the action and promoted to desk jobs. Keeper becomes the Minister of Intelligence and Garza becomes a General overseeing all Special Forces operations. It's possible they've even encountered each other other in the past in one way or another.
