6	[[quoteright:246:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ltlf1z9_9.png]]
7	->'''Voiced by:''' Joe Assante
8	The [[NominalHero alleged]] hero. Jake Conway is a biker recently discharged from his tour of duty in Vietnam. His attempts at living a quiet life are quickly upturned by the murder of his kid brother at the hands of an evil biker gang that have a score to settle with his family.
9	----
10	* AffablyEvil: Even with all the destruction he causes and his willingness to play dirty with his enemies, he does genuinely care for those who are willing to help him.
11	* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: Can be fully invoked by the player with the optional call girls. However, Jake does save just about every random woman from trouble in the narrative. This immediately leads to sex.
12	* AllTheOtherReindeer: Mikey claims Jake has always been [[AmbiguousDisorder different]] from the family norm, but he's family nonetheless.
13	* AndThisIsFor: He tortures Colt by shooting him limb from limb and citing various people he's wronged, ending it with his brother.
14	* AntiHero: An incredibly surreal mix of this, NominalHero, ''and'' VillainProtagonist that frankly goes all over the place. On the heroism scale, Jake is trying to avenge the murder of his kid brother and is up against a cartoonishly evil cast of villains that elicit no pity or sympathy from his wrath. In some instances, he's also portrayed as altruistic in helping others, namely trying to discourage others from drugs. On the nominal scale, he blatantly doesn't care for collateral damage (even unintended) in his quest and is inhumanly sadistic towards his enemies; even when they're incapacitated and begging or did everything he asked, Jake almost never spares anyone, and in some instances inflicts such gratuitous cruelty it calls into question of if he's a sociopath hiding behind a mask. On the villainous scale, Jake is willing to and has murdered countless civilians and cops to satiate his [[ComplexityAddiction addiction]] to solving trivial matters in extremely convoluted ways. In particular, had the game realistically paid attention to the damage his destruction of the dam should have caused, he should be one foot short[[note]]although this is even debatable as Jake is successful in his rampages whereas Cook was foiled before he could nuke America[[/note]] of [[OmnicidalManiac Cook]] in villainy and worse than any other villain in the game - including Caesar.
15	* ArchEnemy: To the Devil's Hand and vice versa. On a personal note, Caesar is this to Jake after he learns of his history with his father.
16	* BadassBoast: Towards the end, when confronting Caesar, he boasts death itself hasn't stopped him.
17	* BadassBiker: What the writers intended for him to be. YMMV on whether that worked or not.
18	* BatterUp: One of his favorite weapons is a spiked bat. He can be seen on the cover art brandishing one.
19	* BigNo: He tends to shout these whenever upset, like when Meathook is killed, but [[DullSurprise due to his inability to convey anger]], it's always a LittleNo unintentionally.
20	* BloodKnight: Despite his PTSD, some instances in the game like with the illegal fight ring shows Jake enjoys fighting.
21	* ClearMyName: While on his ludicrous errand quest for Brandy, a group of miners assumes he's Devil's Hand and blame him for their troubles. Pleading his innocence, Jake proves it [[InsaneTrollLogic by murdering most of them.]]
22	* ColdBloodedTorture: He inflicts this on literally every Devil's Hand member or associate he incapacitates! Sometimes it can be downright horrifying how nonchalant he is about it.
23	* ColdHam: It's clear the writers tried to portray him as a LargeHam from some of his mannerisms, especially when he goes into an UnstoppableRage, but due to his [[DullSurprise perpetually calm]] line delivery, he is this instead.
24	* CoolShades: He wears these on occasion during bike riding missions.
25	* CombatPragmatist: He will use any means to win a fight. In-universe, there is the "dirty fighting technique", an ability that lets you instantly defeat an enemy with something in the environment, usually by smashing their head into it.
26	* ComplexityAddiction: To pad out the game, Jake frequently takes the most convoluted and insane approach to the simplest problems.
27	** Most infamously is the electric fence scenario. When going after Colt, who operates from a ranch protected by electric fencing, Jake decides to murder a bunch of truckers, steals their fuel truck, kills a bunch of cops trying to stop him, drives to a power plant, kills the workers, and then blows up the truck to destroy the plant so the fence has no juice and he can climb over it. Instead of doing all this, he could have just climbed up a large object or a portable ladder...
28	** Near the end of the game, Jake goes after Pretty Boy, TheDragon of the Devil's Hand, and knows where he stays. But rather than just go after him, he instead wins a couple of races for Pretty Boy's girlfriend, Brandy, goes to a mine and kills all of the workers there (to be fair, they shot at him first, but he is a biker, after all), goes to a miner's house to steal his bike, evades the police (killing many more of them), gets the bike fitted with C4, and gives it back to Brandy, who takes it to Pretty Boy's loft. And what happens next? Jake shoots the bike to blow it up (not detonating the explosives or anything, and no, the explosion is no different than the millions of explosions that came before it) in order to get Pretty Boy's attention. This leads to another fight with the Devil's Hand and yet another bike chase. Jake might as well have just shot an ordinary bike or car or simply fired a warning shot since it seemed to serve the same purpose. At the very least, the electric fence part had a purpose, even if Jake mishandled it.
29	* CopKiller: He murders ''dozens'' of cops throughout the story, all of whom were trying to stop his acts of terrorism.
30	* CutsceneIncompetence: At the end of the first chase against Greasy Steve, Steve blows up a stick of dynamite and topples a tree over the roadway. Jake crashes into said tree, despite it looking exactly the same as the many trees he often ducks under in driving sequences, even the ones in this sequence.
31	* DeadpanSnarker: He has a sarcastic streak in regards to everything around him.
32	* DeathGlare: He frequently shoots these, but due to the janky facial animations, they're not intimidating as they are funny.
33	* DisappearedDad: His daddy was murdered by the Devil's Hand and Mack has been hiding him and Mikey since. It isn't until later in the game Mack tells him the whole story.
34	* DrugsAreBad: His other motive for taking on the Devil's Hand. Of course, [[{{Hypocrite}} he sells their looted drugs]] [[GameplayAndStorySegregation as a gameplay mechanic.]]
35	* DullSurprise: Jake never raises his voice past a monotone low-pitch. Even when yelling in a rage at one point, it's fairly low-key at the same time.
36	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He might be a ruthless and gravely amoral biker, but he loves his friends and family. His whole motive is taking revenge for his brother, after all.
37	* EvenEvilHasStandards: While he does some downright terrible things, he's shown to have no patience for domestic abusers, sexual predators, or those who attack prostitutes; he'll often save women threatened by these types. Moreover, while Jake does get rewarded for doing so with sex, there's no indication he actually expects these women to sleep with him as thanks; in one case, he just asks a woman he rescues for a drink.
38	* FromCamouflageToCriminal: He went from a Vietnam veteran to an outlaw biker.
39	* GoodOldFisticuffs: Jake is exceptionally skilled at bare-handed brawling.
40	* HeWhoFightsMonsters: While the game never pays mind to this from a narrative point of view, his sheer brutality against his enemies and the innocents he indiscriminately kills along the way makes him ironically only a little less bad than the Devil's Hand.
41	* {{Hypocrite}}: In so many ways! But the chief of which is his disgust for the Devil's Hand's drug operation (when dealing drugs is a source of income in the hub) and cruelty (when Jake takes the most convoluted and destructive method of solving his problems and frequently tortures his enemies).
42	* InsaneTrollLogic: The only explanation for Jake's convoluted schemes to mundane solutions, which often results in the deaths of countless innocents. On a literal note, Jake at one point complains why the Devil's Hand thugs can't just be cooperative and do things "the easy way" when he interrogates them. Coming from him, that's rich.
43	* ItHasBeenAnHonor: He sarcastically rebukes Pretty Boy's sincere notion of this before torturing him to death.
44	* ILied: Almost every time he promises to spare someone he's interrogating. He only lets one person in the game scram.
45	* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: Jake's way of getting information from Devil's Hand members. He also almost never lets any of his victims live.
46	* {{Jerkass}}: His few moments of decency aside, Jake is thoroughly shown to be a crass individual even with his crimes against humanity not taken into account. He can only be said to be nice to his few loved ones and Ellie for the most part.
47	* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: All it took was witnessing his brother being murdered for him to go from a shell-shocked but otherwise amicable war veteran to a vengeful SerialKiller targeting anyone and everyone he holds responsible for his brother's death in a matter of a few days.
48	* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Likely because he was at Vietnam, he's in the dark to most of what's going on with his father when everyone else already knows.
49	* MoralMyopia: Jake's motive for taking down the Devil's Hand is not just based on them killing his brother, but also for the damage they've caused to his hometown through drugs and intimidation. This is obscenely hypocritical when Jake sells drugs for income, murders civilians regularly, and causes wanton damage to the environment around him in his quest.
50	* MultiMeleeMaster: He can wield a variety of melee weapons from bats to crowbars and knives.
51	* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: He delivers a savage beatdown to Meathook, Mikey's killer, when fighting him in the fight ring.
52	* OneManArmy: The scope of the Devil's Hand extends to being a continental military force. Jake slaughters the whole gang by the end. Not to mention the police force hot on his trail throughout the game. Pretty much nothing can stop Jake in his journey to avenge his brother.
53	* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: At one point, Jake is openly baffled at a woman repairing a truck. For this, said woman threatens to bash his head in with her wrench.
54	* RapidFireNo: [[spoiler: When he finds Mack's corpse.]] Ironically, the [[DullSurprise dull]] line delivery makes it a chain of LittleNo than BigNo like the scene is trying to clearly emphasize.
55	* ReallyGetsAround: He can have sex with literally every woman he comes across except Brandy if the player does the optional rescues. That not even taken into account, he has sex with almost every woman in the narrative.
56	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: The crux of his crusade against the Devil's Hand is avenging his murdered brother, Mikey.
57	* ShellShockedVeteran: While it's never outright stated, one gets the feeling from many of the decisions Jake makes over the course of the game, particularly the ones involving needlessly complicated plans that result in the deaths of a ridiculous number of innocents, that fighting in the Vietnam War was not good for his mental health.
58	* SkywardScream: After he kills Anvil, he screams into the sky in a rage, albeit in an [[DullSurprise oddly low]] tone compared to the usual for this trope.
59	* SmokingHotSex: After fucking Naomi, the bartender Colt abuses, he has a smoke while looking absently forward.
60	* SmokingIsCool: He is frequently seen with a cigarette on hand.
61	* SociopathicHero: For a measure of "hero", anyways. Jake can be downright monstrous in his cruelty.
62	* TheStoic: [[DullSurprise His moments of ineffectual rage and sadness aside]], Jake for the most part is very stoic and softspoken.
63	* TattooedCrook: He has decorative tattoos all over his large arms.
64	* UnexplainedRecovery: The Devil's Hand gang mowed him down with gunfire at the start of the story after killing Mikey. How he survived is never explained or shown, as the scene segues to Jake alive and well right after.
65	* UnstoppableRage: An in-game mechanic has him undergo this before he unleashes a FinishingMove on an enemy.
66	* WasItReallyWorthIt: Jake has a moment of contemplating this after [[spoiler: Mack is murdered.]] In the end, he concludes his whole quest was somewhat worth it.
67	* WifeBasherBasher: Early on, when helping a mechanic named Sarah, he beats her abusive husband but doesn't kill him.
68	* WouldHurtAChild: While the recycled character models don't lend much credibility, a good deal of the Devil's Hand thugs Jake roughs up are suggested to be teenagers or young adults. He brutalizes them all the same, making it hypocritical for him to remind Colt that Mikey was a teenager when he roughed him up.
69	* WouldntHitAGirl: He subtly threatens Brandy but doesn't go through with harming her. For reference, Brandy is the only female antagonist in the game, making it strange why Jake wouldn't torture her for information like he does every other Devil's Hand lieutenant besides this trope taken into account. Instead, he goes on a ridiculous errand quest for her (see ComplexityAddiction).

73	[[quoteright:246:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/goggary.png]]
74	->'''Voiced by:''' Conner Hall
75	Jake's uncle and parental substitute.
76	----
77	* CoolOldGuy: He has the vibe of a wise mentor to the younger Conways.
78	* CoolUncle: Inverted. Mikey doesn't always agree with his stern and secretive nature, which leads to tensions that causes his death.
79	* StuffedIntoTheFridge: [[spoiler: He is killed off-screen and hung by Caesar toward the end.]]
80	* WorfHadTheFlu: [[spoiler: An interpretation of how he was taken down, given he survived an assassination attempt prior that left him injured.]]

84	[[quoteright:255:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mikey.PNG]]
85	->'''Voiced by:''' Ryan Deluca
86	Jake's kid brother, whose murder in the story kickstarts his quest for revenge.
87	----
88	* BadassBiker: Like Jake, despite only being a teenager.
89	* MoralityPet: To the otherwise troubled Jake.
90	* SinsOfOurFathers: Along with Jake, he's marked for death by the Devil's Hand due to Toledo's actions against their boss.
91	* WeHardlyKnewYe: He's killed before we really learn much of him.

96	[[quoteright:255:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mikey_0.PNG]]
97	->'''Voiced by:''' Anthony Aroya
98	An army sergeant and instructor that goes way back with Jake's family.
99	----
100	* AFatherToHisMen: He very much cares for the well-being of his troops and occasionally has Jake look out for the ones he feels are more troubled than they let on.
101	* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's not that nice, but he's relatively passive compared to Jake. Despite this, he reminds Jake no one fucks with him when he blows up Cook with his own nuke after he stole said nuke under his watch and murdered many of his men that day.
102	* BigGood: Well, for a measure of "good" considering he is aiding [[NominalHero Jake Conway]], but he supplies Jake his weapons in his fight against the Devil's Hand.
103	* BlackBestFriend: To Jake and the rest of the Conways by extension.
104	* OldFriend: He and Toledo went way back.
105	* ScaryBlackMan: Not usually, but as Cook (and Jake) found out, he's not to be screwed over.

110	[[quoteright:255:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mikey_9.PNG]]
111	->'''Voiced by:''' Sumona Roy
112	Mikey's girlfriend before his death. She decides to tag along and help Jake in little ways against the Devil's Hand.
113	----
114	* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler: Caesar hit her and her mother all the time by her own words. But considering how evil he is, it's not too unbelievable.]]
115	* MoralityPet: Jake refers to her as such.
116	* NiceGirl: In this CrapsackWorld, she can be said to be the only genuinely kindhearted character, without a spot of a criminal rap sheet either.
117	* TheRunaway: [[spoiler: She fled home due to Caesar's abuse and took shelter with the Conways.]]
118	[[/folder]]
119	!!The Devil's Hand
120	[[folder:Anvil]]
121	!!Anvil
122	[[quoteright:246:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/xrcmz52.png]]
123	->'''Voiced by:''' David Howard Thornton
124	A DumbMuscle brute stated to be at the bottom of the pole in regards to Devil's Hand lieutenants.
125	----
126	* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: His infamous introductory scene has him randomly spout some bullshit of once torturing a calf to intimidate Mikey.
127	* DefiantToTheEnd: Unlike almost every Devil's Hand member that comes after him, he never caves to Jake's intimidating tactics and only mocks him to the very end.
128	* DumbMuscle: He's even described as such in promotional material.
129	* PaperTiger: Ironically, despite his burly appearance, he spends all his time [[DirtyCoward running from Jake and never confronts him in a physical fight]].
130	* SlashedThroat: How Jake kills him.
131	* VillainHasAPoint: He does point out he saw Jake clearly die when he's cornered; the game never bothers to explain how he survived so it'd make sense Anvil is confused.
132	[[/folder]]
133	[[folder:Meathook]]
134	[[quoteright:246:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gbdrhql.png]]
135	->'''Voiced by:''' Rodger Thomson
136	A particularly AxCrazy Devil's Hand lieutenant said to be CoDragons with Anvil in the muscle department. Notable for murdering Mikey at the start of the story.
137	----
138	* AxCrazy: He is a homicidal maniac even described as a short fuse.
139	* BearHug: His most dangerous move in his fight is this.
140	* BloodKnight: Meathook is the champion of an illegal fight ring he also spends most of his time in.
141	* CombatPragmatist: When the tides turn against him in his fight, Steve hands him a wired bat to even the odds in what was supposed to be a fistfight.
142	* DuelBoss: He's fought one on one in a straight fight.
143	* {{Hypocrite}}: He professes the importance of honor and how Jake has none. When Jakes calls him out, however, he confesses he doesn't really believe his own words all that much either.
144	* LeanAndMean: Quite scrawny, but a vicious fighter all the same.
145	* MacheteMayhem: His signature weapon is a machete, but he doesn't actually brandish it in his fight per rules.
146	* YouHaveFailedMe: And HeKnowsTooMuch. Steve kills him so he doesn't relay any information to Jake's interrogation.
147	* ViolentGlaswegian: He speaks with a strong Scottish accent and is incredibly violent even by the standards of the Devil's Hand.
148	* WouldHurtAChild: He slit Mikey's throat and mockingly expresses no remorse for it whatsoever.
149	[[/folder]]
150	[[folder:Greasy Steve]]
151	!!Steven
152	[[quoteright:246:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nendaf2.png]]
153	->'''Voiced by:''' Frank Todaro
154	A slippery man a rung above Meathook and Anvil in authority, answering directly to Triple Six.
155	----
156	* BadassBiker: His defining trait is he's a great racer, enough that Jake can't even catch up to him until he makes adjustments to his ride.
157	* DirtyCoward: Despite being a SmugSnake that took every opportunity to taunt Jake and even boss his fellow Devil's Hand cohorts around, when Jake catches up to him, he's begging for his life.
158	* KarmicDeath: Jake blows him up with his own dynamite when he's through with interrogating him.
159	* NervousWreck: He's a stuttering wreck when reporting to Triple Six. Besides likely being intimidated by his superior, the man owes it to his drug abuse and tells him to knock it off.
160	* ThrowDownTheBomblet: His main weapon and form of attack is throwing dynamite.
161	[[/folder]]
162	[[folder:Colt]]
163	[[quoteright:246:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/uwwckjd.png]]
164	->'''Voiced by:''' Frank Todaro
165	A drug lord central in the Devil's Hand operations.
166	----
167	* DefiantToTheEnd: He uses his last moments only to weakly taunt Jake.
168	* DirtyCoward: Subverted. Unlike most Devil's Hand goons, he fully stands his ground against Jake in several gunfights.
169	* DiscOneFinalBoss: PlayedWith. Despite the game setting him up as this, Steve comes after him and he can be taken out before Meathook or Anvil.
170	* FatBastard: He has a noticeable gut and is very evil.
171	* LargeHam: Although most of the characters give various degrees of DullSurprise, Colt is definitely the most vocal of the Devil's Hand, ChewingTheScenery with his DeepSouth accent.
172	* IronicDeath: Jake kills him with colt revolvers.
173	* WouldHurtAChild: He brutally bashes Mikey's face in with his rifle when interrogating Jake.
174	[[/folder]]
175	[[folder:Cook]]
176	[[quoteright:246:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/uwwckjd_3.png]]
177	->'''Voiced by:''' Frank Todaro
178	A Vietnam veteran that went mad from his tour of duty. Cook only hooked up with the Devil's Hand to procure a means of exacting revenge on America, which he later finds in the form of an atomic bomb...
179	----
180	* AxCrazy: He's trying to annihilate all of America in retribution for what he witnessed in Vietnam.
181	* DragonTheirFeet: As his story is independent of Caesar's conflict with Jake, he can be killed after him.
182	* DragonWithAnAgenda: He admits to having no real allegiance to the Devil's Hand past getting what he needs for his own agenda.
183	* FinalBoss: Of his titular DLC, "Cook's Mad Recipe", and potentially for the whole game if you kill Caesar before starting the DLC.
184	* {{Foil}}: Like Jake, he is a shell-shocked Vietnam veteran. Unlike Jake, who tried to adjust to a peaceful life, Cook desires to destroy his country in revenge.
185	* KarmicDeath: Tyrell traps him with his own armed nuke as he sets the ship to sail far away, obliterating him in the process.
186	* NotInThisForYourRevolution: He straight up admits that, he doesn't give a rat's ass about the Devil's Hand, or what their goal is, or even their beef with the Conways. All he cares about is his personal vendetta with America
187	* OmnicidalManiac: He desires nothing less than the total destruction of America, reciting its annihilation as MadnessMantra.
188	* ShellShockedVeteran: Like Jake, albeit far worse.
189	* TimedBoss: If he isn't defeated on time, the nukes will go off and kill everyone.

192	!!Damien Silver
193	[[quoteright:246:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bibwezh.png]]
194	->'''Voiced by:''' Steve Carter
195	One of the highest ranked Devil's Hand members, serving as CoDragons with King Dick to Pretty Boy, Caesar's only Dragon. As opposed to Dick, he is open to people and to who the lower lieutenants answer.
196	----
197	* AintTooProudToBeg: He begs and tries to bargain with Jake to let him go. Despite doing everything he told him to, however, Jake doesn't have any of it and feeds him to his wood chipper.
198	* BadBoss: His loggers work in terror of his wrath. As the Devil's Hand is concerned, Steve is blatantly afraid of him, and he even hits him during a conversation.
199	* TheBrute: He fits this niche most in the Devil's Hand, being the toughest physical combatant next to the lower-ranked Meathook.
200	* ChainsawGood: He readies a double-bladed chainsaw to fight Jake with.
201	* CruelAndUnusualDeath: He's fed to one of his own wood chippers.
202	* FlunkyBoss: Fought alongside several mooks.
203	* FourEyesZeroSoul: His oval glasses are his most distinctive feature.
204	* KarmicDeath: With how hideously unsafe his logging facility is designed to be, it's ironic he meets his end through one of his wood chippers.
205	* NumberOfTheBeast: The inspiration for his nickname.
206	[[/folder]]
207	[[folder:King Dick]]
208	!!King Dick
209	[[quoteright:246:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bu6jhtn.png]]
210	->'''Voiced by:''' Chip Joel
211	One of the highest ranked Devil's Hand members, serving as CoDragons with Triple Six to Pretty Boy. He's a pimp that cultivates a CultOfPersonality to his worship in his spare time.
212	----
213	* BadBoss: His subordinates are all afraid of him and he's noted to take fingers off anyone that slightly irks him.
214	* CultOfPersonality: He cultivates one of these devoted not to the worship of the Devil's Hand, [[{{Narcissist}} but to him]].
215	* DisproportionateRetribution: He mentions he once ripped off the fingers of one of his cooks for serving him food that made him ill that day.
216	* FaceDeathWithDignity: He does give Jake information, but he has no apprehension or fear of dying, cursing Jake to the last.
217	* {{Fingore}}: He's known for ripping fingers off as punishment to those that offend him. This is karmically turned on him when Jake breaks each of his fingers.
218	* InsultBackfire: He calls Jake a "rotten son of a bitch" but Jake only muses he "doesn't know the half of it."
219	* {{Jerkass}}: He views everyone as beneath him and is a massive jackass. Fitting his name, he's a royal dick.
220	* KarmicDeath: He's drowned in the baptism altar of his own church.
221	* {{Narcissist}}: In his spare time, he cultivates a CultOfPersonality dedicated to himself.

223	[[folder:Brandy]]
224	!!Brandy
225	[[quoteright:246:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/brand.PNG]]
226	->'''Voiced by:''' Elizabeth Romanski
227	Pretty Boy's right-hand woman. Jake helps her out with some insane errands that can only be explained as padding out the game.
228	----
229	* TheDragon: To Pretty Boy.
230	* FailedASpotCheck: Despite being the direct subordinate of the second highest ranked member of the Devil's Hand...she somehow fails to identify Jake, even as he's wearing a jacket with his family name on it. Keep in mind everyone in the gang up to the lowest mooks have profiles of him and are ordered to kill on sight.
231	* FetchQuest: She has Jake steal a coveted bike she and Pretty Boy want, at which point she'll lead him to her boss. Why Jake doesn't just torture her for information like everyone else is a wild guess.
232	* UglyGuyHotWife: Well, hot girlfriend, but she's far more attractive than the hideously disfigured Pretty Boy.
233	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Her fate is totally unaccounted for after she takes Jake to Pretty Boy's home.
234	[[/folder]]

236	[[quoteright:246:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/brand_1.PNG]]
237	->'''Voiced by:''' Steve Carter
238	The NumberTwo to Caesar and the biggest man of the Devil's Hand besides him.
239	----
240	* DidYouActuallyBelieve: He scolds Jake for being naive enough to believe his father wasn't dead the whole time, saying this verbatim.
241	* TheDragon: Directly to Caesar.
242	* FacialHorror: The left side of his face is horribly scarred and a metal plate covers one of his eyes.
243	* IronicName: While he's called "Pretty Boy", he's far from an attractive man. Jake even hangs a lampshade on it.
244	* IronicDeath: Jake finishes him off by mutilating what's left of his good face.
245	* NoodleIncident: The bad side of his face? That was [[BadBoss Caesar's doing]]. It's not made clear why he did that.
246	* SurroundedByIdiots: He says as much before pulling out of his shotgun to deal with Jake himself.
247	* UndyingLoyalty: To Caesar. His last moments are even pledging absolute loyalty to his strength.
248	[[/folder]]

252	->'''Voiced by:''' Leer Leary
253	The leader of the Devil's Hand. Originally a close friend of Toledo Conway, the power-hungry Caesar desired to be something more than a humble biker. Betraying Toledo, Caesar steadily amassed support to transform his hometown into a criminal empire and deposed his former friend by drowning him in debt, taking everything away from him but his wife, whom Caesar lusted after. After Toledo fled with his wife following a lost "all or nothing" race, Caesar, feeling his ego was wounded, brutally murdered both of them and passed an order to hunt down every remaining Conway and their friends to the last child.
254	----
255	* AmbitionIsEvil: He desires nothing more than absolute power and will do anything to attain it.
256	* ArchEnemy: To the Conways sans the young Mikey, but especially Jake.
257	* ArchnemesisDad: He's this to Ellie for his horrible abuse of her and his wife. She even wishes him dead at the end.
258	* BadassBiker: He's likely the best racer in the game, once even beating Toledo in an all-or-nothing race with nothing implying he cheated.
259	* BadBoss: He's the one who scarred Pretty Boy's face.
260	* BigBad: As the leader of the Devil's Hand. He also has enmity with the Conways that goes further back than his gang, making him pretty much responsible for everything.
261	* ChewingTheScenery: When he goes into his MotiveRant at the end, he's hamming the scenery up with wide gestures.
262	* TheDreaded: He's feared as some kind of boogeyman in his gang, with most members not even being permitted to see him but being fully aware of how violent he is.
263	* EvilFormerFriend: To Toledo Conway, Jake's father.
264	* FlunkyBoss: His fight consists of a gauntlet of paramilitary goons coming at Jake, followed by a bike chase where he's flanked by elite guards.
265	* GoodScarsEvilScars: Toledo scarred his face just as he was about to take his wife.
266	* LoveMakesYouEvil: His grudge against the Conway family comes from Jake's mother refusing to leave Toledo Conway for him. Given that he moved on and had a child with another woman after killing her, it can be inferred that he didn't really love her that strongly and was merely angry about being defied.
267	* RankScalesWithAsskicking: A surprisingly downplayed example. Despite his reputation as a badass, he doesn't confront Jake head on, but still puts up a tenacious chase regardless.
268	* RasputinianDeath: Suffers this at the end. First, Jake jumps onto his bike and [[EyeScream gouges his eyes out]], then Caesar drives off a cliff while blinded, but survives the fall only to be crushed by his bike, which starts leaking petrol. Finally, Jake throws his lighter away, igniting the petrol and causing the bike and Caesar to explode.
269	* {{Sadist}}: He literally expresses there is almost no greater joy in life than hurting others.
270	* TheSociopath: A textbook case of a megalomaniacal narcissist and killer.
