* ConspiracyTheorist: Yakedo isn't really one, but he is the first to suggest that [[spoiler:the Chinese government might behind the attack]].



* DirtyCop: Vic Feng, who's trying to break into the Hong Kong drug business. Also counts as an example of KillerCop, as when Ingram tries to reason with him, he takes out a [[KillItWithFire flamethrower]] and torches you with it. Good thing there's a fire extinguisher near by...



* RecycledInSpace: Sort of. The whole game is an homage to ''VideoGame/DeusEx'', but some striking similarities can be drawn between the plots. One of the first nano-aug agents at UNATCO sets out to find the culprits behind a terrorist attack, discovers a conspiracy, and goes on the run to put an end to it. Sound familar?
