| 8 | The Government is a heroic faction based on the United States' government, playing a major role in ''Infiltrating the Airship'' and ''Completing the Mission''. If Henry (and possibly Ellie) chooses to side with them to bring down the Toppat Clan, he (they) would receive a pardon for their previous crimes or possibly a promotion, depending on the route taken. |

| 16 | ---- |
| 17 | * ArmorIsUseless: On the Executive/Allies route, although Major Hershell Panzer equipped himself with heavy armor that allows him to stop a speeding vehicle, one good punch from Henry is enough to knock him out ([[JustifiedTrope granted]], Henry did punch him in his unarmored and unprotected head). |
| 18 | * BadassArmy: Galeforce's team is specialized to take down the Toppat Clan. |
| 19 | * DemotedToExtra: In ''Fleeing The Complex'', only Charles makes an appearance, and only if Henry chooses to call him to get free from The Wall. |
| 20 | * {{Eagleland}}: Of the Beautiful variety, being the only major faction to be shown as unambiguously heroic, and are explicitly shown to be based on the real-world US government. |
| 21 | * GatlingGood: Their standard door gunner weapons appear to be miniguns. |
| 22 | * HeroAntagonist: They will become this on the Executive/Allies, Executive/Dead and Thief/Allies route (which is [[spoiler:eventually averted if Henry and Ellie choose to ally with the Government for the "Pardoned Pals" ending]]). |
| 23 | * TheJuggernaut: On the Executive/Dead route, it's shown they own a massive tank named "Big Boy". When Henry uses a scrambler on Big Boy, the massive tank goes on a rampage, causing enough chaos for the Center for Chaos Containment to respond with its own G.A.B.E.G.G. |
| 24 | * {{Leitmotif}}: Themes consisting of percussion and brass instruments are commonly associated with them. |
| 25 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Some of them have really funny descriptions on their bios. |
| 26 | * RecruitingTheCriminal: They willingly recruit Henry due to his skills of both stealing the Tunisian Diamond and escaping prison by himself. In the Government/Allies route, they also accept Ellie as a part of their team to take down the Toppat Clan. |
| 27 | * RedGreenContrast: Most of the Government’s tanks and helicopters are green. In contrast, the prototype "Big Boy" is a massive red tank. |
| 28 | * TankGoodness: Like most military groups, they own and use many regular tanks. They even have a massive one named "Big Boy", which would have been used in their operation to take down the Toppat Clan in the Executive/Dead route had it been working properly. |
| 29 | * TokenGoodTeammate: The games consist of two WildCard {{Villain Protagonist}}s whose morality is dependant on player choices, two antagonistic factions led by a DastardlyWhiplash GentlemanThief and a sinister prison warden respectively, and a mysterious organisation dedicated to preventing and stopping chaos, often by creating ''even more chaotic situations'' in their attempts. Compared to them, the Government military along with Charles are often the only cast members who are outright noble and heroic. Although there's also a police force and a couple security guard factions, they're more like [[PunchClockHero people who are in Henry's way and just doing it for the job]] rather than actual heroes. |

| 53 | ->Appears In: ''Infiltrating the Airship'', ''Completing the Mission'' |
| 54 | |
| 55 | An army officer in charge of the undercover Toppat raid in ''Infiltrating the Airship''. It was his idea to "recruit" Henry, for better or worse. |
| 56 | ---- |
| 57 | * AngryFistShake: He's doing this as he yells out Henry's name in the [[spoiler:''Executive'']] ending. |
| 58 | * AntiVillain: He's treated as an antagonist in the routes with Henry opposing the government, but he's still as heroic as ever. |
| 59 | * BenevolentBoss: He cares for all the soldiers under his leadership. |
| 60 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Attempting to shoot down his helicopter with a rocket launcher results in him giving orders to take down the whole airship. |
| 61 | * BigBad: If we look at it in a HeroAntagonist way, Galeforce serves as this in most routes where Henry opposes the government. |
| 62 | * BigGood: Of the entire series, overall. Serves as this in ''Infiltrating the Airship'' and in certain routes of ''Completing the Mission''. |
| 63 | * BigOlEyebrows: He's one of the few characters to have these. |
| 64 | * CoolOldGuy: He's clearly been serving for a long time and he's very much a ReasonableAuthorityFigure. |
| 65 | * CrazyPrepared: The [[spoiler:Thief]] ending of ''Airship'' shows him having a Plan B in case something goes wrong with Henry's mission, which does happen so Galeforce has Charles call for reinforcements. |
| 66 | * DeathGlare: He gives one to Henry in the [[spoiler:Thief]] ending, before ultimately deciding to let him go. |
| 67 | * EtTuBrute: [[spoiler:The player can choose to have Henry betray him and instead become the new Toppat leader in ''Executive'']]. |
| 68 | * EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: He's only ever referred to by title. His full name is only known thanks to the intro to the ''Master Bounty Hunter'' path in ''Mission''. |
| 69 | * FacePalm: Does one of these in the ''Lightning-Quick Larcenist'' FAIL of ''Airship'' when the safe Henry steals is revealed to only contain a teddy bear. |
| 70 | * FaithInTheFoe: His line about Henry having a plan in the [[spoiler: Executive]] ending shows that Galeforce trusts that Henry will do the job, despite them being on opposite sides of the law. |
| 71 | * TheFarmerAndTheViper: Is on the receiving end of this should Henry [[spoiler:choose to become the Toppat leader instead of handing over Reginald]]. |
| 72 | * AFatherToHisMen: Galeforce clearly cares about his soldiers, evident when he calls a retreat to cut their losses during the Big Boy tank rampage in [[spoiler:''Toppat 4 Life'']]. |
| 73 | * {{Foil}}: To Dmitri Johannes Petrov, the Wall's warden. They both share some traits like being old leaders of their respective factions, but their characters are fundamentally different, namely that unlike Dmitri, Galeforce is a genuine heroic figure who cares about his soldiers, fights for justice and is reasonable and always willing to give others a chance to redeem themselves. |
| 74 | * FourStarBadass: A military general and definitely a badass guy. |
| 75 | * FriendlyEnemy: Despite being on opposite sides of the law, Galeforce is generally amicable when talking to Henry if he helped the government. |
| 76 | * FrontlineGeneral: Despite his old age, he still goes into the battlefield with his much younger underlings. |
| 77 | * GeneralRipper: Downplayed. Galeforce is not insanely obsessed with taking down the Toppat Clan, but he does mention that they've been giving them trouble before, thus why they decided to recruit Henry to help. |
| 78 | * TheGhost: Of [[spoiler:Triple Threat]] route in the ''Mission'', as he is mentioned by Charles. |
| 79 | * GivenNameReveal: In the intro to the ''Master Bounty Hunter'' path in ''Mission''. |
| 80 | * GoAndSinNoMore: [[spoiler:In the Pardoned Pals ending, Henry and Ellie help Charles take down the Toppat rocket after they've been planning to join the Clan to get away from the Wall. Galeforce is surprised to see the two, but lets them off the hook and pardons them for their help]]. |
| 81 | * TheGoodCaptain: Has the title Captain in ''Airship'' and is one of the heroic characters. |
| 82 | * GoodHairEvilHair: Has a long spiky beard along with his mustache, and serves as the BigGood of the series. |
| 83 | * GoodIsNotSoft: He's an honorable and respectable guy through and through, but pulls no punches when dealing with criminals. |
| 84 | * GreaterScopeParagon: Of the ''Triple Threat'' route, where Charles mentions that he sanctioned the pickup of Henry and Ellie and in return, they have to help them with the Toppats again. |
| 85 | * GreaterScopeVillain: Again, HeroAntagonist-wise. He's this in the routes where the government soldiers oppose Henry but he himself doesn't appear. |
| 86 | * GuileHero: He came up with the idea to use Henry to take down the Toppat Clan in exchange for pardoning his previous crimes. If Henry goes through with the plan, it's a great success. |
| 87 | * HeroAntagonist: Explicitly plays this role to Henry's VillainProtagonist in all routes (with few exceptions) where he betrays the government. |
| 88 | * HeroOfAnotherStory: He mentioned in ''Airship'' that he's already been dealing with the Toppats a while before recruiting Henry and given how old he is it's likely that he had his fair share of adventures even before that. |
| 89 | * HumbleHero: He's not above seeking Henry's help with the Toppats again, admitting that they could really use it and even promises Henry that he'll owe them a big favor. |
| 90 | * IdealHero: Aside from Charles, Galeforce is the only main character who is heroic in all routes. He serves as the BigGood, is reasonable, fights for justice and bringing down bad guys. |
| 91 | * IGaveMyWord: If Henry succeeds in the mission, he keeps his promise and pardons Henry's criminal record. |
| 92 | * IncorruptiblePurePureness: No matter what route you're on, he always remains heroic and reasonable. |
| 93 | * KnowWhenToFoldEm: In [[spoiler:''Toppat 4 Life'']], he orders his men to retreat once the Big Boy tank goes on a rampage thanks to Henry. |
| 94 | * MagneticHero: Downplayed. He's able to recruit Henry (and potentially Ellie) a few times in order to help the government deal with the Toppats, and the general's honest character no doubt had a role in them accepting the jobs. |
| 95 | * TheMenFirst: If the situation gets too dangerous for them, Galeforce will command a retreat to cut their losses in the force. |
| 96 | * MirrorCharacter: Their characterizations aside, Galeforce has some similarities to Dmitri, such as: |
| 97 | ** They're both older than most of the cast. |
| 98 | ** They're both the leaders of their own faction, with Galeforce leading his government soldiers and Dmitri leading his Wall employees. |
| 99 | ** They both serve the law. |
| 100 | ** They both pursue Henry, the VillainProtagonist of the series, thus making them {{Hero Antagonist}}s. |
| 101 | * MissedHimByThatMuch: In [[spoiler:''Toppat 4 Life'']], Henry flies right past very fast, but Galeforce didn't see him and never figured out that Henry was still alive after being presumed dead, or that he was responsible for the Big Boy rampage that forced the government to retreat. |
| 102 | * MissionBriefing: He does this in ''Airship'' and on a few routes in ''Mission''. |
| 103 | * MrExposition: In ''Mission'', where he explains the situation with the Toppats at the beginning of some routes. |
| 104 | * NiceGuy: Galeforce deeply cares about his underlings, keeps his promise to Henry by giving him a pardon and he can even forgive him for his betrayal should he help the government again. |
| 105 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: His decision to recruit Henry to take down the Toppats can become this in [[spoiler:the ''Toppat King'' and ''Toppat 4 Life'' routes, where Henry personally secures the Toppats' orbital station launch from the government as their leader.]] |
| 106 | * NotSoStoic: [[spoiler:Henry's betrayal in ''Executive'']] is enough to make him yell in anger. |
| 107 | * AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Captures Henry to help take down the Toppats, reminding him that the government has several charges against him. |
| 108 | * OfficerAndAGentleman: He's a military general who's honorable and respectable. |
| 109 | * OldSoldier: Judging at the colour of his beard, he's been on active duty for a long time and he still fights on the front lines, as shown in the "Grappling Hook" storyline in ''Airship'' and the Executive/Dead route of ''Mission''. |
| 110 | * OlderHeroVsYoungerVillain: The older HeroAntagonist to Henry's younger VillainProtagonist. |
| 111 | * OneSteveLimit: He shares his first name with Judge Brown from ''Prison''. |
| 112 | * OnlySaneMan: He's really the only character who's both well-meaning and is the voice of reason. |
| 113 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: The one time he sounds genuinely angry is when [[spoiler:Henry betrays the government to join the Toppat Clan]]. |
| 114 | * TheParagon: His recruitment of Henry and potentially Ellie can convince them to leave the criminal life behind and enlist in the military in some routes. |
| 115 | * ThePardon: |
| 116 | ** He recruits Henry to take down the Toppat Clan in exchange for giving him this. If Henry does succeed, he keeps his word. |
| 117 | ** He also gives one to [[spoiler:both Henry and Ellie in ''Pardoned Pals'' as a reward for helping them take down the Toppat rocket]]. |
| 118 | * PlotArmor: [[spoiler:He's the only main character (other than Ellie) who only dies in few fails, albeit offscreen.]] |
| 119 | * RankUp: He's been promoted to a general by the time of ''Mission''. |
| 120 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: |
| 121 | ** If Henry does exactly as he instructed and either attains evidence for the Toppats' crimes or captures the leader of the Toppat Clan, he keeps his word and erases Henry's criminal record, no strings attached. Not to mention that he does not explicitly open fire on Henry or try to turn against him unless Henry turns against them first. |
| 122 | ** Even if Henry goes OffTheRails and decides to steal a huge ruby from the Toppat Clan over the mission, Captain Galeforce [[spoiler:ultimately allows him to go, as Henry in the course of this act grounds the Toppat Clan's airship and inadvertently gives the government the best chance they'll ever have of catching most if not all of the Toppat Clan and seizing the records through force. By comparison, one thief is a small fry and not worth wasting time on]]. |
| 123 | ** Further demonstrated in ''Mission''[='=]s [[spoiler:''Pardoned Pals'' ending. Despite Henry's past conduct, Galeforce still grants him and Ellie pardons as a reward for helping take down the Toppat Clan]]. |
| 124 | ** Even in the [[spoiler:''Special [=BROvert=] Ops'' ending of ''Mission'', he promises that, despite Henry not owing the government anything at the moment, he'll receive a really big favor for helping them out. In a roundabout way, he sticks to his word, as when the job is done, he immediately promotes Charles ''and'' Henry into special covert ops agents. When Charles questions the fact that Henry isn't enlisted, Galeforce says that he now is, which gives off the impression that Henry doesn't have a choice, until he follows up with, "unless he doesn't want it." He ''does'' bargain with Henry by saying that if he takes up the promotion, he'll run loads more missions with Charles, but through technicality, Galeforce did stick to his word of owing Henry a favor by giving him the option to accept the promotion right after elaborating upon it.]] |
| 125 | * RecruitingTheCriminal: It was his idea to recruit Henry to bring down the Toppat Clan, in exchange for pardoning all his previous crimes. |
| 126 | * RedOniBlueOni: He's the calm stoic blue to Charles' enthusiastic excitable red. |
| 127 | * TheRedeemer: It's thanks to his influence that Henry (and Ellie) are able to make a HeelFaceTurn in some routes. |
| 128 | * RightForTheWrongReasons: In [[spoiler: ''Executive'' after Henry and Reginald throw out dummies to fake their deaths]], Charles notes that the fall was too big to survive, and Galeforce reassures him that Henry must've had a plan. He did, [[spoiler:it just wasn't to capture Reginald like Galeforce intended for the mission to be]]. |
| 129 | * SayMyName: Pulls one off [[spoiler:in the ''Rapidly Promoted Executive'' ending, when Henry decides to join the Toppats and fakes his and Reginald's death by tricking them with dummies]]. |
| 130 | -->'''Captain Galeforce:''' '''''HENRYYYY!!!''''' |
| 131 | * ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: [[spoiler:Letting Henry go in the "Pure Blooded Thief" ending of ''Airship'' was done by him as a result of arresting the Toppats being a bigger priority in that moment, even though Henry still is a criminal and even stole the Ruby the Toppat Clan had]]. |
| 132 | * SignatureHeadgear: His dark green military cap. |
| 133 | * TheSoftHeartedWarrior: Galeforce always has a friendly demeanor while not on the battlefield. |
| 134 | * SoProudOfYou: He'll express this sentiment towards Charles and Henry when they succeed in bringing down the Toppat Clan, even offering a promotion to them. |
| 135 | * TheStoic: He's pretty calm and collected compared to everyone else. |
| 136 | * StrokeTheBeard: You can see Galeforce doing this in a few scenes. |
| 137 | * SupportingLeader: He's the one in charge of the Toppat raid. |
| 138 | * SympatheticInspectorAntagonist: In contrast to other HeroAntagonist [[KnightTemplar Dmitri]], Galeforce is a clearcut heroic character whose goal is to apprehend criminals for justice and to uphold the law. |
| 139 | * TacticalWithdrawal: Orders this in [[spoiler:''Toppat 4 Life'']] when the Big Boy tank starts going on a rampage, courtesy of Henry. |
| 140 | * TechnicalPacifist: Galeforce will always try to bring criminals to justice through non-lethal methods, only resorting to violence if it is absolutely necessary. |
| 141 | * TimeForPlanB: He says this verbatim in [[spoiler:''Thief'']] when Henry sets off the Toppat vault alarm, then tells Charles to call in reinforcements. |
| 142 | * ToBeLawfulOrGood: Briefly encounters this in the [[spoiler:''Thief'']] ending of ''Airship''. Charles asks Galeforce for orders on how to deal with Henry, who did not accomplish his mission (at least not in the way the government intended) because he got sidetracked by the Romanian Ruby and stole it. Galeforce responds by letting Henry go, citing "We got what we came for. He's not worth the trouble." and goes on to help arresting the Toppats instead. |
| 143 | * TokenGoodTeammate: Aside from Charles (who serves as this between himself, [[VillainProtagonist Henry and Ellie]]), Galeforce is the only main character who stands out as heroic compared to [[BigBad Reginald]], [[NoNonsenseNemesis RHM]], [[KnightOfCerebus Dmitri]] and [[TheDragon Grigori]]. |
| 144 | * TheUnfought: Galeforce is never directly confronted by Henry (or Ellie) in the routes where they oppose the government. |
| 145 | * VagueAge: It's clear he's the oldest of the main characters, but exactly how old is never stated or alluded to. Dmitri, the only other elder in the cast, can be safely assumed to be in his 70s at least, since his bio states that he's been running the Wall for 5 decades. |
| 146 | * WorthyOpponent: In the intro to ''Airship'', he seems to consider Henry this, referring to him as elusive and skillful. This is most likely part of the reason why he decided to recruit him. |

| 187 | ---- |
| 188 | * AdvertisedExtra: One of the five characters appearing on the box-art seen on the main page, alongside [[TheHero Henry]], [[AcePilot Charles]], [[ActionGirl Ellie]] and [[BigBad Reginald]]. Isn't as important as the other ones in any way possible besides appearing more than anyone else, except Henry. |
| 189 | * ByTheBookCop: He's serious when it comes to maintaining order. |
| 190 | * ContinuityNod: His bio in ''Diamond'' mentions that his workplace suffered a huge embarrassment, referring to Henry's escape from prison. |
| 191 | * DemotedToExtra: Rupert gets increasingly minor roles in every game as the series goes on. He drops from being part of Dave's MinorRoleMajorImpact in ''Prison'' to being a threat in the Intruder on a Scooter path of ''Diamond'', to being a minor character in the intro and various other scenes in ''Airship'', to finally being relegated to a mere background character in exactly one scene in ''Mission''. |
| 192 | * EnragedByIdiocy: In the ''Lightning Quick Larcenist'' fake ending, when the safe that Henry stole from the Toppat Clan contains a single teddy bear, Rupert is barely struggling to keep it together while slowly aiming his rifle at Henry. |
| 193 | * HeroAntagonist: Back when he was part of the police, Rupert is antagonizing Henry from trying to subdue him to prevent his prison break in ''Sneaky Escapist'' and later on when trying to stop him from making off with the Tunisian Diamond in ''Intruder on a Scooter''. |
| 194 | * HotBloodedSideburns: Has black sideburns and and a rather aggressive character. |
