History YMMV / RedVsBlueTheChorusTrilogy

** [[spoiler:[[WarForFunAndProfit Malcolm Hargrove]], the [[CorruptPolitician Chairman of the UNSC Oversight Subcommittee]], poses as a ReasonableAuthorityFigure to hide his massive list of crimes. Using his position as the [[CorruptCorporateExecutive CEO]] of Charon Industries, Hargrove illegally used UNSC soldiers as a private security force. Starting up an investigation against Project Freelancer, Hargrove used it to take Freelancer's technology for his own use while arresting anyone involved in the project, even going as far as releasing a SerialKiller from prison to help him. Finding alien artifacts on the planet Chorus, he hired a group of [[Characters/RedVsBlueSpacePirates space pirates]] to kill everyone on the planet by manipulating them into a CivilWar. Hargrove sent ships containing cargo for the mercenaries to use to the planet, where the mercenaries killed everyone on the ship and stole the cargo for their own use. When the Reds and Blues got involved, Hargrove took advantage by having them escalate the conflict with the intention to [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness kill them when they were no longer necessary]]. When the mission was jeopardized, Hargrove threatened to kill his lead mercenaries by sending a new agent to finish the job. When exposed, Hargrove decided to kill as many of the people as possible out of spite rather than surrender.]]

** [[spoiler:[[PsychopathicManchild Felix]], real name [[TheSocialDarwinist Isaac Gates]], is a [[AxCrazy psychopath with a love for killing]]. When he fought in the Great War, he never showed any mercy to his enemies, even those that were trying to surrender. When one of his teammates, Locus, was broken by the war, Felix kept him from getting help and molded him into his partner. Hired by Hargrove as one of the space pirate leaders to create a CivilWar on the planet Chorus, the mercenary took pleasure in infiltrating one of the sides while he was leading them to their deaths. He also led the raid on a prison ship where the entire crew is killed and the prisoners who are not worthy to join forces with him [[ThrownOutTheAirlock ejected from the ship]]. Hearing about the Purge, a temple that could exterminate all life on the planet, Felix personally led the operation to activate it, dismissing the certain deaths of his own soldiers as acceptable losses. In the end, Felix proved to be unwilling to listen to any attempt at reasoning, whether it be from Washington, the Reds and Blues, or even his own partner.]]

* ToughActToFollow: Much like with [[WebAnimation/RedVsBlueTheProjectFreelancerSaga Season 10]] years before, Season 13 is generally agreed upon by multiple sections of the fanbase to be one of the best storylines written for this series. Unlike Season 10, however, which paved the way for the Chorus Trilogy, this season was followed by the start of Red vs Blue's SeasonalRot with the [[WebAnimation/RedVsBlueTheShisnoTrilogy Shisno Trilogy]], which is generally considered a completely unnecessary follow-up to Season 13's meaningful BolivianArmyEnding. Seasons 15 through 17 being considered [[DenserAndWackier a drastic decrease]] [[ReferenceOverdosed in writing quality]] didn't make matters any better.
