* GeneralRipper: He's part of the command staff responsible for sending countless Founders to their deaths in the meat grinder of Oklahoma for no gains at all.
* {{Jerkass}}: An even worse one than his nephew. It apparently runs in the family. Unlike the good captain who disappears from the narrative after Haven, General Blair remains a 100% antagonistic force during the entire latter third of the campaign.

The leader of a group of deserters.

to:

The leader of a group of deserters.Founders deserters encountered during the Vega mission.
* TheCavalry: If he survives the events at Vega, he and his forces show up to lend support for the final mission at Galveston.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:If you choose to execute him for desertion on orders of Founders HQ, he calmly accepts the sentence and takes full responsibility so his men can survive.]]
* AFatherToHisMen: He led his surviving men away from the Founders once he realized how callously they were being sacrificed in the meat grinder of Oklahoma.
* MilitaryBrat: Implied to hail from a long line of military officers. If he survives the Vega mission, he gives you a trained tank crew led by his son as a farewell gift, which also unlocks an achievement called Military Dynasty.
* OldSoldier: Certainly up there in years and obviously weary of fighting, but still giving it his all nonetheless.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Far more so than anyone in Founders HQ. If he's still alive when you leave Vega, it's mentioned that the city under his care becomes a new safe haven for Movement troops and civilians in the area.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Deserted from the Oklahoma assault when he found out that he and his men were nothing but bait for Legion's forces in the city.

%%Add tropes here

to:

%%Add tropes here* {{Jerkass}}: An even worse one than his nephew. It apparently runs in the family.
* KarmaHoudini: He never suffers any consequences for all the shit he did during the campaign and before.
* {{Nepotism}}: He's Captain Blair's uncle, and it's all but spelled out that his nephew only rose to this rank because of their relation.



* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Is willing to hear out Church's side of the story regarding the loss of Haven Base and the subsequent disappearance of T-Force from the Founder chain of command, and ultimately calls off the bounty on T-Force after exonerating them of desertion.

to:

* FaceHeelRevolvingDoor: [[spoiler:He starts out as an antagonist by agreeing to brand T-Force as traitors and deserters, then turns into an ally by giving them a chance to clear their name, and eventually turns into an even bigger asshole by cheerfully denying them evacuation from the massive Legion army converging on Galveston at the climax of the final mission.]]
* GeneralRipper: Although he initially comes across as a ReasonableAuthorityFigure, it turns out he's just as callous about needlessly sacrificing Founders troops as the rest of HQ.
* GloryHound: He wants all the glory of the Galveston mission for himself and gets increasingly annoyed as circumstances force him to let T-Force give more and more support to his forces.
* KarmaHoudini: If he got his comeuppance for his actions at Galveston, the game doesn't mention it.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Is willing to hear out Church's side of the story regarding the loss of Haven Base and the subsequent disappearance of T-Force from the Founder chain of command, and ultimately calls off the bounty on T-Force after exonerating them of desertion. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, his reasonability pretty much ends there.]]


Added DiffLines:

* AFatherToHisMen: He's extremely protective not only of his men, but of all of what's left of mankind. If a plan or strategy runs the risk of being too costly in human lives, he shoots it down without a second thought.



* ClearTheirName: [[spoiler:About halfway through the campaign, he learns that the loss of Haven Base was blamed on him and he was marked a traitor and deserter, sentenced in absentia to death. Part of the rest of the campaign then revolves around getting Founders high command to exonerate him so he and T-Force can get back to fighting Legion undistracted.]]



* RedOniBlueOni: He's the calm and rational Blue to Mason's brash and aggressive Red.



* FireForgedFriends: His working relationship with Church can be summed up as TeethClenchedTeamwork for most of the campaign, but he eventually comes to respect Church and becomes less confrontational.



* RedOniBlueOni: The Red to Church's Blue.



* BigFun: Definitely on the larger side (hence his callsign), and one of the few sources of levity in this dark and gritty game.
* BloodKnight: He ''really'' enjoys StuffBlowingUp, especially if he and his tank crew are the ones responsible for the fireworks.
* HiddenDepths: He's quite knowledgeable about Integrator technology. It's never revealed where he got this knowledge from, but it sure comes in handy at certain points of the campaign, [[AnyoneCanDie assuming he's still alive]].



%%Add tropes here

to:

%%Add tropes here* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler:After going AWOL at Haven, then being MIA for much of the game and being a pain in the ass the whole time, he shows up in the final mission as one of Legion's cyborg infiltrators. Whether or not he was one from the beginning or was only recently converted isn't made clear.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: Boy, is this guy annoying.
* {{Nepotism}}: Finding out that his uncle is a high-ranking general with the Founders' command staff probably explains how this incompetent and cowardly jackass made it to captain.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: He abandons the defense of Haven Base halfway through, leaving Lieutenant Church to pick up the slack and [[spoiler:later successfully blaming the loss of the base on Church due to his connections to Founders high command]].

* ArmorPiercingAttack: His laser sniper rifle is able to just barely damage Legion armor so while he has a low chance of success alone, he can support other units attacking armored vehicles by possibly getting a lucky shot with his rifle to possibly damage a component.



* GlassCannon: Packs a very high power sniper for how early he joins and his EMP grenades and hacking can turn robots into allies for even more firepower but being a 2-man sniper team, will get cut down fast if anything more than a few Homunculi attack him without support.



* HollywoodHacking: Will likely be the first unit that the player obtains that is able to hack enemies and comes with EMP grenades for disabling robots and is able to hack into Legion robots quickly if the player helps his plan.

* ProductionThrowback: The character of "Big Bob" first appeared in Syrian Warfare's DLC and his continued appearance in this game is possibly a reference to "Thick Bob" from ''VideoGame/ParadiseCracked'' as both look visually similar. (Cats Who Play has some former GFI Russia/Mist Land South developers who worked on Paradise Cracked.)
* TankGoodness: Like Calderon, he is one of the first units able to drive a tank that the player gets their hands on and his voice lines complain about not being in a tank if he's on-foot. (Though he drives a Bradley in his first appearance.)
