1A list of the characters that appear in the ''Eagle Eye Mysteries'' game series, and the tropes associated with each character. (This list consists largely of recurring characters, unless otherwise indicated, as most one-off characters are often the guilty party or suspects in the mysteries they appear in, and as such any information on them would be spoiler-ific.)

3The list is complete (for now).

7[[folder:Main Characters]]
8!!Jake and Jennifer Eagle
9The founders of the Eagle Eye Detective Agency.
10* AmateurSleuth
11* BadassLongcoat: In ''EEM London,'' both twins wear trench-coats as part of their character sprites; Jake sports a khaki-colored one, while Jennifer's is dark blue.
12* BornDetective: Jake and Jennifer's rules for sleuthing were given to them by their great-grandfather, [[AllThereInTheManual based on a crime-solving handbook he wrote in 1842]].
13* BrainyBrunette: Jennifer.
14* CoolBoard: Jake rides one in the first game, whenever you go to an investigation scene with him as your partner.
15* CrazyPrepared: In ''EEM London,'' the [[JustifiedTutorial practice mystery's]] intro tells you that Jennifer packed the TRAVIS in her suitcase prior to the twins' trip to London, just in case they ran into any mysteries while on holiday.
16* AFriendInNeed: Generally speaking, but especially to Nancy Marx in ''EEM Original's'' "Case of the Midnight Masquerade;" specifically, the versions of that mystery in Books 1 and 2.
17* GadgeteerGenius: According to (now former) senior producer of Stormfront Studios, Sarah Stocker, Jennifer's personality was designed for her to be this. See [[http://rpgvault.ign.com/articles/358/358323p1.html here]].
18** The introduction to ''EEM London's'' JustifiedTutorial also makes it pretty clear that Jennifer's the one who designed the TRAVIS, and who added the new features that it didn't have in the first game. As well, "Case of the Robin Hood Hacker" establishes that she's a bit territorial about who gets to handle the TRAVIS.
19--> '''Jake:''' ''(if you play the mystery with him as your partner)'' My sister's pretty touchy about who we let handle the TRAVIS. She only wants (player's name) and I to use it.
20* HalfIdenticalTwins
21* KidDetective
22* MysteryMagnet: The Eagles themselves seem to be this, judging by their comments at the start of the sequel.
23--> '''Jake/Jennifer:''' [[LampshadeHanging It looks like mysteries just seem to pop up wherever we go!]]
24* RollerbladeGood: Jennifer rides on a pair of these in the first game, whenever you go to an investigation scene with her as your partner.
25* SecretKeeper: As of ''EEM London's'' "Case of Blood's Bold Bauble."

31
32!!Mr. and Mrs. Eagle
33The twins' parents. They're never actually seen, but are referenced on a few occasions in the first game, so we know they're around.
34* [[HeWhoMustNotBeSeen They Who Must Not Be Seen]]
35
36!!Miranda Eagle
37The protagonists' aunt, Uncle Basil's wife and Nigel's mother, and a reporter for the ''Times''.

51--> '''Jake/Jennifer:''' I hope so.
52
53!!Nigel Eagle
54The protagonists' cousin, and son of Miranda and Basil Eagle.
55* BerserkButton: He will not tolerate anyone cheating at chess. Period. As he says at the start of ''EEM London's'' "Case of the Chess Club Caper":
56--> '''Nigel:''' ''(upon entering the garret)'' Blast it all! It's a royal game, and cheating is just not done! It's a disgrace.
57* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Fish and chips. And nothing will stop him from getting it if he can get it.
58
59!!Patrick Moss
60Aunt Miranda's brother-in-law through marriage to her older sister Joanna. He has three children, Geoff, Darren and Claire. All of them feature prominently in "Case of Blood's Bold Bauble."
61* SecretKeeper: You, Jake and Jennifer become this for Patrick upon hearing the story behind the titular "Blood's Bold Bauble," a Crown Jewel that was stolen amongst others in a daring heist and was the only one never recovered (because a fisherman found it but kept it out of fear of being associated with the thieves).
62* SecretLegacy: The story of Blood's Bold Bauble, explained above, is a longtime family secret that has been passed down from parents to children in the Moss family for 300 years. Patrick told his children about the legend, but he thinks that one of them may have squealed the secret to get rich off of it; consequently, he comes to Aunt Miranda for help, who in turn commissions the detectives to find out which of the three Moss children may have let the secret slip, turning you, Jake and Jennifer into [[SecretKeeper Secret Keepers]] so as to keep from possibly alerting the squealer. [[spoiler:Turns out none of them let the secret slip--it was a misunderstanding.]]
63
64!!Geoff, Claire and Darren Moss
65Patrick Moss' three children. Geoff, the oldest, is a stage actor who aspires to hit the big-time on the silver screen, and he regularly performs at the Old Vic theater. Claire, the middle child, works at Oxford University. Darren, the youngest, is a cadet at the Tower of London.
66* SecretLegacy: They are all part of this, as explained under Patrick Moss' entry.
67
68!!Cousins Stanley and Agatha
69Two very obscure cousins who are briefly mentioned at the start of "Case of the Envelope Espionage" and nowhere else before or after that. One or the other of them will be mentioned depending on which of the twins you have as your companion for that mystery, but not both at the same time.

89!!Sgt. Nails
90Chief Barnes' deputy.
91* CluelessDeputy
92* FriendOnTheForce
93* KindheartedCatLover
94* PoliceAreUseless: Well, to his credit, he tries. Ultimately, though, it's the Eagle Eyes who have to solve whatever case he's been assigned to (and who often have to clear up a false impression he's built of any possible suspect who is in fact innocent).
95
96!!Mrs. Garcia
97The librarian at Richview's local library.
98* ForeignQueasine: During Book 2's version of "Case of the Runaway Reptile," Mrs. Garcia mentions that when she was a little girl living in Mexico, her family used to eat iguanas, which she claims tastes like chicken.

125* {{Greed}}: His most defining trait.
126* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Dave Grant.
127* IJustWantToBeSpecial: In ''EEM Original's'' practice mystery, your partner tells you that deep down, Mark Moriarty probably just wants to join the Eagle Eye Detective Agency.

128* JerkAss
129* ManipulativeBastard

225!!Sergio
226A construction worker at Dependable Construction, and an aspiring chef.
227* OnlyOneName: When the detectives ask him what his last name is, he says he's like Madonna or Cher--he has no last name. In the Challenge Book's version of "Case of the Midnight Masquerade," this causes Silvia Torres, a minor character, to suspect him of being a criminal on the run and possibly the guilty party in the mystery. [[spoiler:He's innocent.]]
228** However, Sergio's statement about last names is erroneous. Although not many persons would really think about it, Cher and Madonna ''do'' have last names--Cher's full name is Cherilyn Sarkisian, while Madonna's is Madonna Louise Siccone. [[FridgeLogic Which means that Silvia Torres' suspicion about Sergio might not be too far off the mark...]]

250The Eagle family's next-door neighbor.
251* [[GrumpyOldMan Grumpy Old Lady]]: When it comes to toys being left in her yard.
252* KindheartedCatLover: She owns two, named Fluffy and Puffy.
253* PrettyInMink: Used to play it straight, but eventually quit wearing hers after reading about how minks are raised in cages (and she doesn't approve of cruelty to animals). She keeps the mink for sentimental value, though, plus it ''did'' cost her a pretty penny.
254* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Iguanas]]: She's absolutely '''terrified''' of the detectives' pet iguana, Watson. [[spoiler:Eric Vickor takes advantage of this in Book 1's version of "Case of the Runaway Reptile" as revenge for her confiscating his baseball when he left it in her yard.]]

257Owner of Washington Jewelers.

302The owner of Brass Monkey Antiques.
303* CardCarryingVillain: He has an unfriendly-looking avatar picture, but otherwise seems to be a fairly reasonable and practical man in Book 1's version of "Case of the Angry Arsonist." But later on, he proves to be a villainous douche after [[spoiler:he burns down Grime's Novelties and Gags because the owner wouldn't sell the property to him in Book 2's version of the same mystery.]]
304--> '''Jake:''' That was cold, the way Mr. Edwards [[spoiler:burned Grime's Novelties so he could take over the store.]]
305--> '''Jennifer:''' Thanks to (player's name), he'll get just what he deserves!

380
381!!Michael and Christopher Gallin

400* GrumpyOldMan: Where the need for quiet in the library is concerned.

402* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
403* PerpetualFrowner
404* ScaryLibrarian
405* SherlockScan: Subverted; when you first meet him he instantly knows who you are, and gives a reasonable explanation of how he figured it out...then admits that Miranda told him you'd be coming by.

418!!Lady Edna Saltcoats
419The owner of Marlford Manor and a longtime friend of Aunt Miranda and Uncle Basil.
420* ActualPacifist: She's revealed to be this in "Case of the Marlford Murder," where her scripted method of Count von Coburg's character's "murder" is being frightened to death by a mouse, instead of being shot, poisoned or bludgeoned as the Eagle Eyes initially assume; and when they ask her which of ''those'' methods was used, she reacts with absolute horror. Then she [[LampshadeHanging acknowledges]] the point:
421--> '''Lady Edna:''' Well...I know it sounds unlikely, but frankly, my dears, I just couldn't bear the thought of any violence. Not even play-acted!
422* BigFancyHouse: Marlford Manor.
423* HeroicBSOD: In ''EEM London's'' "Case of Macavity's Mace," it's revealed that several years earlier, Lady Edna went through one. [[spoiler:Her pet monkey Cupcake had died after being caught in a rabbit trap.]]

445* ArchEnemy: To both the Eagle Eyes and Scotland Yard.
446* [[spoiler:TheBadGuyWins]]
447* BatmanGambit: This is Macavity's shtick throughout the course of the sequel: testing the Eagle Eyes' skills throughout the game by pulling city-wide pranks; stealing a sign language-using chimpanzee; and arranging for the creation of a remote-control toy tiger to be stolen later. Eventually, in "Case of Macavity's Mace," the toy tiger is used to turn off the House of Common's security system, following which the chimp is sent to steal the Mace of the House of Commons--all in order to blackmail Parliament into passing the Animal Protection Law that has been under debate. Then, knowing the Eagle Eyes will intervene and potentially crack the case, arrangements are made to put Macavity's base of operations up for sale in preparation to flee the country, with the funds from the sale donated toward supporting the passing of the Animal Protection Law. [[spoiler:Before fleeing, they make a video confessing their wrongs and apologizing for the harm they have brought to the people of England in their zeal to protect animals. Thus, some measure of sympathy will be garnered for their repentance, and the citizens will have the choice to support the bill if they should so choose]].

479
480!!The Morgan Salvage Company
481A group of treasure-seekers who rival Max Landers' company and are, in Etienne Dumont's words, "modern-day pirates." They are led by one Mrs. Morgan, a callous, vindictive and scornful woman, and one of their main agents is Mr. Spector, a supposed soothsayer. They only appear in "Case of the Pirate Puzzle."
482* [[spoiler:FriendlyEnemy]]: [[spoiler:Mrs. Morgan is seen posing with Dumont and Landers in a newspaper clipping at the end of the mystery, suggesting that they are at least a little less antagonistic toward each other by this point.]]
483* MeaningfulName: Mrs. Morgan's name and description as a "modern-day pirate" by Etienne Dumont brings to mind the famous privateer Henry Morgan.
484* PunnyName: Mr. Spector, as per his soothsayer profession.
485* RedHerring: Mrs. Morgan directs the detectives to Mr. Spector to get directions on how to talk to the ghost of Cutlass Jack, the legendary pirate whose treasure is the focus of the "Pirate Puzzle" case. Predictably, if you go to the Highgate Cemetery and follow Mr. Spector's directions to raise up the supposed ghost, nothing happens.

491One of the major residents of Dartmoor in ''EEM London.'' Rae Maringh's father.
492* AgentScully: He doesn't subscribe to the various supernatural legends surrounding Dartmoor. He does acknowledge, however, that his neighbors would be superstitious because Dartmoor ''does'' look rather spooky.
493* PapaWolf: Regarding Rae.
494--> '''Ved Maringh:''' The first thing I must make very clear is that my daughter is quite innocent!
495** To provide further context: This happens during "Case of the Envelope Espionage," where both Ved and Rae are suspects. Which means that Ved is defending his daughter's innocence before considering his own.

498Lady Edna Saltcoats' maid at Marlford Manor.
499* CoolBigSis
500* GirlFriday

509* AssholeVictim: In ''EEM London's'' "Case of the Marlford Murder," Count von Coburg's victim character in the murder mystery party was a swindler and a heartless brute. Among his character's list of atrocities: he cheated one character out of the Victoria Cross bravery medal, sold another character's entire pig farm to a sausage factory and then claimed the animals were stolen, shot a third character's pet warthog for spite, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and defeated a fourth character in a baking competition]].
510* CoolOldGuy
511* EccentricMillionaire
512* JerkAss: Not the man himself, but his scripted character in the murder mystery party during "Case of the Marlford Murder." In fact, during Lord Cheswick's recital of his character's script, he lambastes Count von Coburg's character as [[AssholeVictim a swindler and rotten scum who nobody will miss]]...then briefly breaks character to assure the detectives that the Count is in fact a perfect gentleman.

521--> '''Nigel:''' I don't know about Ms. Brissot. She's nice and everything, but she seems awfully anxious to make a lot of money. She rattles on and on about how she'll spend her first million pounds! I think she spends more time thinking about that than she does writing her books!
