| 6 | ---- |
| 7 | [[folder: The Agent]] |
| 8 | !!The Agent |
| 9 | * AntiHero: At times, you appear almost as bad as the gang members you're trying to take down. [[spoiler:Then it turns out you were an UnwittingPawn.]] |
| 10 | * DeathIsCheap: No matter how many times an Agent is killed, the Agency can always clone them a new body and let them return to action. |
| 11 | * TheDragon: [[spoiler:To the Director.]] |
| 12 | * DumbMuscle: They can be seen as this. Standard Operating Procedure for them is to eliminate criminals, Freaks, and CELL members in the most brutal and mindless manner possible, they never question their orders (or ''anything'', [[SilentProtagonist for that matter]]), [[spoiler: and are little more than [[UnwittingPawn a hyper-destructive pawn for the Agency.]]]] |
| 13 | * GiantMook: Not so much in the first game, but in the sequel this applies when you get to higher levels, since you're taller than most Peacekeepers and Cell members. Some freaks rival you in size, but even then most do so barely. |
| 14 | * HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: At first in the sequel, you don't have a helmet, but later gain one as you grow tougher. |
| 15 | * InASingleBound: It's possible to leap over some smaller buildings with the right level of agility, in the sequel. |
| 16 | * KnightTemplar: [[spoiler:Definitely in the sequel]]. |
| 17 | * LegacyCharacter: The Agents in the sequel are a successor group; with the Agents from the first game being turned into freaks. |
| 18 | * LightIsGood / DarkIsNotEvil: Depending on your colour scheme. |
| 19 | ** LightIsNotGood / DarkIsEvil: [[spoiler:In the sequel, the Agency has become more aggressive and actively malevolent- the Agent does the same, but does not necessarily know it]]. |
| 20 | * LightningBruiser: By the time the Agent's skills are fully maxed, he counts, especially in the sequel. He runs fast enough to keep pace with many vehicles (and in 2 gain the ability to plow straight through oncoming traffic), can lift and throw heavy objects with ease, and are able to resist quite a lot of ordinance and rapidly heal any damage taken. |
| 21 | * NominalHero: You're in it to make Pacific City a better place, but damn if you aren't brutal. |
| 22 | * NoNameGiven: You're only referred to as "Agent". ''3'' gives each playable Agents their own names and backstories, with particular emphasis on Jaxon in the intro. |
| 23 | * NotQuiteFlight: You get a wingsuit as your agility improves in the sequel, which allows you to theoretically glide across and soar higher, but it requires a bit of practice to even be considered flying. You can get thruster boots when your agility is maxed out, or alternatively get the DLC and use them early, at the cost of an equipment slot. |
| 24 | ** WeaponisedExhaust: Using the thruster boots can set enemies alight, and there's an achievement which rewards you for setting certain numbers alight in a single flight. |
| 25 | * OneManArmy: In both games, but particularly the second, where you can plough through legions of Freaks as if you were crossing the street for a loaf of bread, take entire, heavily fortified tactical points by yourself, and fight off mutated versions of previous Agents. |
| 26 | * RogueProtagonist: The first game's agents are turned into freaks in the second. |
| 27 | * ScaryBlackMan: The default agent is a very tough looking black dude. |
| 28 | * SilentProtagonist: They don't talk in the first two games, but they don't have to. |
| 29 | * SuddenlySpeaking: They gain the ability to speak in ''3''. |
| 30 | * SuperSoldier: Genetically designed to go above and beyond the call of duty. |
| 31 | ** HealingFactor / GoodThingYouCanHeal: As you get tougher, you heal faster, and given how you will often have everything trying to kill you it's very necessary. |
| 32 | ** MadeOfIron: You start shrugging off missiles and chaingun fire as you get tougher. |
| 33 | ** SuperSpeed: As your Agility increases. |
| 34 | ** SuperStrength: By the time you've maxed out skill, it's possible for you to punch {{Giant Mook}}s to death with your bare hands, or pick up a giant bus and whack them to death with it, while running with [[MoreDakka missile launchers or machine guns]]. |
| 35 | * TookALevelInBadass: In-game, you do this as your skills get better. In-universe, the programme itself seems to have taken one for the sequel, owing to the fact that the Agent at the end of the sequel is stronger than the one at the end of the first game, with better technology, vehicles and weaponry to boot. |
| 36 | * UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:In both games so far, the Director misleads you into wiping out Agency enemies]]. You can possibly be more unwitting as you find more audio logs, however. |
| 37 | * VillainProtagonist: [[spoiler:By the time of the second game.]] |
| 38 | * VillainWithGoodPublicity: [[spoiler:In the second game, though you are an UnwittingPawn.]] |
| 39 | [[/folder]] |
| 40 | |
| 41 | [[folder: The Director]] |
| 42 | !!Director Charles Goodwin |
| 43 | * BigBad: [[spoiler:Of the entire series.]] |
| 44 | * BerserkButton: Don't annoy the director by killing Peacekeepers or Civillians. He will say stuff such as ''Don't kill Peacekeepers agent. IT HURTS ME AS MUCH AS IT HURTS YOU!!!''. Or ''Kill Freaks, NOT PEACEKEEPERS!!''. |
| 45 | * CombatPragmatist: While he hasn't appeared in person (at least directly), the Director will always send in The Agent to solve a problem. Given the Agent's skills, this works very well. |
| 46 | * DeadpanSnarker: Most quips he makes when you are hurt come to mind. |
| 47 | * EvilAllAlong: [[spoiler:The Director is worse than the gangs, and wiped them out so he could take over their spot. And the kicker? ''You'' [[NiceJobBreakingItHero just made it all possible]]. Good job.]] |
| 48 | * EvilerThanThou: [[spoiler:To the gangs in the first game, who he eliminates]]. |
| 49 | * TheFaceless: Owing to the fact we haven't seen his face- we've seen ''him'', but his face is always shadowed. |
| 50 | * {{Jerkass}}: Generally mocking and rude, even when you are on fire or in serious pain. [[spoiler: Turning out to be EvilAllAlong isn't really a surprise]]. |
| 51 | * KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler:His wiping out the gangs to forward his own agenda and become a tyrant is somewhat monstrous, but none of them were particularly noble or benevolent in the first place. This is actually recognised by him as a good form of PR.]] |
| 52 | * ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler:He ends up basically being in charge of Pacific City by manipulating the first Agent into wiping out the competition.]] |
| 53 | * MissionControl: In all three games. |
| 54 | * NoNameGiven: Until ''Crackdown 3'' lists his name as Charles Goodwin. |
| 55 | * PragmaticVillainy: [[spoiler:Shooting civilians is bad PR, and also doesn't let you rule over people if they're all dead. That's more or less the only reason that the Agency will kill you if you start going on a rampage]]. |
| 56 | * SirSwearsALot: He swears much more than any other character in the franchise. |
| 57 | * SlaveToPR: [[spoiler:Why he insists on having to KickTheSonOfABitch, and why he tries killing the Agent should they go rogue and start murdering civilians / Peacekeepers.]] |
| 58 | * TookALevelInKindness: He's a ''lot'' less of a {{Jerkass}} in ''3'', [[spoiler: though he's still evil]]. |
| 59 | * VillainWithGoodPublicity: [[spoiler:In reality, the Director used the gangs as an excuse to further the Agency's power by giving them a SuperSoldier or five. He wipes out the Freaks partially for this reason, since they drain his resources by attacking civilians. This makes him a SlaveToPR]]. |
| 60 | * TheVoice: Always communicates with you via radio. |

| 63 | !Gangs |
| 64 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 65 | '''Los Muertos''', '''The Volk''' and the '''Shai-Gen Corperation''' are the three biggest and most powerful gangs in Pacific City, each dominating and controlling a district of the city, and being led by a kingpin and has six generals who play a major role in their respective gangs. They are the main antagonists of the [[VideoGame/{{Crackdown}} original game]]. |
| 66 | ---- |
| 67 | * BigBadEnsemble: The kingpins of each gang share the role as rivals. However, [[spoiler:The Director is the true BigBad]]. |

| 76 | [[caption-width-right:310:Several members of Los Muertos, including all its leaders from left to right; Gonzalez, Martinez, Alvarez, Garcia (the kingpin), Guerra, Diaz, Sanchez]] |
| 77 | Los Muertos, "The Dead", have rapidly grown from a petty band of Central American drug dealers into a significant narcotics operation, dominating the two islands forming Pacific City's east side, a district now known as "La Mugre", The Dirt. The gang's "Death" designation was originally chosen to strike fear into those who might dare stand in their way. Now their name is more associated with the consequences of their vile trade. Los Muertos are formidable fighters with remarkable brute strength and brutality to match. They are also renowned vehicle specialists, stealing and customizing the finest cars and vans before using them to great effect in crimes and getaways. Beware that La Mugre's south island is packed rooftops that present an ideal retreat for athletic agents under extreme duress. |
| 78 | ---- |

| 87 | [[caption-width-right:256:]] |
| 88 | Don Domingo "El Brazo" Garcia is a tough and intelligent man who's violent temper serves him well as the leader of Los Muertos. In the past decade, he has used raw muscle and capable accomplices to elevate this street gang into the big leagues, making Los Muertos one of Pacific City's three dominant criminal organizations. On his rare visits into the capital, Garcia stays exclusively in his villa, protected by his elite guard unit "La Sombras". |
| 89 | ---- |
| 90 | * AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He looks a bit silly, but he isn't a bad fighter. |
| 91 | * BigBad: Head of Los Muertos. |
| 92 | * BigBadEnsemble: With the other kingpins Vladimir Golyak and Zuang Lun Wang. [[spoiler:The Director is the true BigBad]]. |
| 93 | * EyepatchOfPower: Sometimes spawns with one, but oddly enough he's one of the few characters that wears one and ''doesn't'' have an eye out. |
| 94 | * HandicappedBadass: He's missing one of his hands, so he replaced it with a steel one. |

| 103 | [[caption-width-right:256:]] |
| 104 | Juan "El Numero" Martinez is the "eyes and ears" of Los Muertos, and thanks to his loyal "Bangers" knows everything about anything on the streets. Residing in the heart of the multi-level hill-side housing development on La Mugre's southern island, this manipulative and malicious criminal also holds Los Muertos' pierce strings. Martinez puts the gang's ample illegal earnings to especially effective use when threaten by hiring the best assassins money can buy. |
| 105 | ---- |

| 115 | Ramon "Pistola" Gonzalez is a brutal and volatile man with an unnatural love of the gun. He handles his hardware with psychotic affection and lethal efficiency. Gonzalez controls the flow of Los Muertos cutting-edge munition supply from frequent deliveries at a secluded north cost cove to distribution to ground forces. |

| 125 | [[caption-width-right:250:]] |
| 126 | Rodrigo "Montana" Alvarez knows no morality, no fear, no boundaries. This mountain of a man rules a brutal pit fighting operation at his sports complex on La Mugre's southern island. He trains the men for his physical indulgence, showing off his prowess in the ring against multiple assailants. The result, Los Muertos is fit and lethal in close quarters combat. |
| 127 | ---- |
| 128 | * TheBrute: He’s in charge of training Los Muertos goons. |
| 129 | * InformedAttribute: He’s apparently good at physical fighting, but when you face him, he used a grenade launcher instead. |
| 130 | * WalkingShirtlessScene: He never wears a shirt. |

| 139 | Rafael "Chuco" Diaz is a renowned and accomplished car thief, joy rider and getaway driver. His extensive skills and knowledge are literally a driving force for any Los Muertos behind the wheel. Diaz supervises the creation of high-performance vehicles from the illegal acquisition of the best civilian transportation available to the extensive customization process. His base of operations is distinctive garage on La Mugre's north island where he and his "Easy Riders" race on a regular basis. |

| 150 | Jose "Tremendo" Guerra uses his failing nightclub on La Mugre's southern island as a front to ply is vile trade: the manufacture and distribution of potent and addictive narcotic cocktail. A cunning, cold-blooded operator, Guerra takes the deliveries of the drugs by day, and deals them to the desperate by night. This operation alone accounts for a significant percentage of the Los Muertos' illicit income. |
| 151 | ---- |

| 161 | Violetta "Santa Maria" Sanchez: "hot, dirty, deadly." Three choice words used by an undercover officer to describe the persuasive Los Muertos recruiter before he fell foul of her charms and her extreme initiation ceremony. Sex and violence are her favorite tools. Beyond a severe beating, lies the allure of an endless and effortless supply of the finest women, narcotics, firearms, and vehicles. |

| 172 | |
| 173 | The Volk, The "Wolf", is a beast to be reckoned with. Tired of relentless fighting for poor pay and no recognition, hardened militia from all over Eastern Europe came together to put their skills to more profitable use: organized crime. The Volk brought with it a strong pack work ethic, and a vast horde of munitions and armed vehicles of war. The mob's Wolves embrace strict military discipline and are experts in the use of firearms and explosives. They bolster their ranks with skilled illegal immigrants and use the rest as a disposable workforce. The Volk controls the entire industrial area of Pacific City, locally known as "The Den". |
| 174 | ---- |
| 175 | * FromCamouflageToCriminal: They conscripts former soldiers to their ranks. |

| 185 | "The Wolf" Golyak put his exceptional military training to successful use as a mercenary in the previous decade, forging strategic alliances with sinister and influential people whose appreciation of his work he used to build his own powerful empire. Golyak has returned to Pacific City to reclaim control of his troubled organization. His base of operation is an oil rig anchored off-shore, and heavily defended by his trusty "Kroff" who will likely present you with a challenge, Agent. Tread carefully. |
| 186 | ---- |
| 187 | * AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He's head of the Volk and a great fighter. |
| 188 | * BadassLongcoat: Wears one. |

| 191 | * BigBadEnsemble: With Don Domingo Garcia and and Zuang Lun Wang. [[spoiler:The Director is the true BigBad]]. |
| 192 | * PragmaticVillainy: The military discipline he imposes on the gang is necessary for a fighting force, not because EvenEvilHasStandards. The shooting of random civilians shows this. |

| 202 | [[caption-width-right:256:]] |
| 203 | Sergei "Sovetnik" Yuriev runs The Volk's oil refinery on the Den's north cost, pushing Workers hard on continual shifts to create vast amounts of cheap fuel to sell at a high-profit on the black market. Yuriev is convinced the Agency is out to get him, and he is correct in that assumption, which explains why he never leaves his tower at the center of refinery, and is guarded like gold. |
| 204 | ---- |
| 205 | * BaldOfEvil: Not a single hair on his head. |
| 206 | * FriendInTheBlackMarket: For the Volk. Killing him causes their ties to be strained and their cost-efficiency to suffer severely. |
| 207 | * IShallTauntYou: If you try to approach him while he's still safe inside his tower, he'll [[FlippingTheBird flip you a double duce]] through his bulletproof windows. |
| 208 | * ProperlyParanoid: Keeps a heavy guard and refuses to leave his reinforced tower out of fear that the Agency is targeting him. [[LampshadeHanging As the Director notes]], he's right on the money. |
| 209 | * PuzzleBoss: Before you can even start killing him, you need to force him out into the open by destroying three consoles around his refinery, blowing up his tower floor by floor until he's forced on to the roof. |

Romanova and her loyal "Puppies" operate the quarry on the east cost of the Den's southern island. From here, they direct the distribution of The Volk's near endless supply of explosives to the Workers in the Den. Be advised, Agent. They are skilled and excited by the use of their wares. |

This cunning and fierce woman craves control over her surroundings to compensate for her extreme volatility. She commands mindless, but dependable brought squads that maintain order in the Den. Gryzunova personally prepares her recruits in a training ground to the north of the Den, but she can be usually found where typically trouble thrives in the black market area to the south of the Den. |

| 262 | Igor "Rafik" Biragov spent his formative years forging a far reaching reputation as a driver of safety-challenged trucks packed with volatile, hazardous compounds over incredible distances and through treacherous conditions. These days, he drives a smooth-running of The Volk's substantial fleet of trucks and military vehicles. His dedicated teams of "Gators" shadow all cargo routes throughout the city, and hijack trucks forced to pass through the Den. Biragov then sells the merchandise to desperate immigrants, and uses the proceeds to buy military vehicles from his extensive contacts. |

Mikhailov smuggles in far more live bodies than required reportedly in foul conditions to ensure the survival of only the fittest. The remainder that don't make the grade are let loose to distract the Agency. Mikhailov and his depraved "Govnyak" guards reside at the Den's southern docks. |

| 290 | The Shai-Gen Corporation is a sinister and pervasive force for evil. It was founded and funded by the previous government with a remit to evolve radical preemptive defense solutions. Its intensive scientific research, strategic influence initiatives and black propaganda yielded staggering and disturbing results. The burgeoning division became financially independent, probably through illicit sources, and more powerful than its original patron. This led to its purchase by a mysterious individual and the birth of the Shai-Gen Corporation, and as a result, the Agency. Shai-Gen is based in "The Corridor", a space created for the lavish lifestyle of its personnel and a superficial utopia for its numbed citizens. Only exceptionally agile Agents have the capability to the heights. |

His seemly boundless capabilities lend credence to speculation that he employs the dark arts to fuel his phenomenal success and to empower his deadly "Kuow Louung" guards. While speculation is rampant, facts about this figure are almost non-existent. Only now, Wang signal his intention to engage with the Agency do we know know the location of his headquarters, the skyscraper in The Corridor's main square. Clearly this a trap. |

| 328 | Dr. Baltazar Czernenko is Shai-Gen's Research Director. His most successful inventions are the emotion suppressants used to keep civilians docile, and the genetic accelerants used to create so-called super soldiers. Czernenko's work focuses on every unlawful, unethical and unfounded field of medicine. The results seldom practical or pleasant, but Shai-Gen is confident another breakthrough is imminent. Fortunately for Czernenko, Pacific City provides a healthy supply of potential test subjects. |

His management of Shai-Gen's extensive and effective public relations campaign is exemplary. He single-handedly made the corporation irresistible, and encouraged an unprecedented influx of new talent. Oakley employs his own subliminal branding techniques, using methods too sophisticated to be understood by anyone else. Clearly Shai-Gen's reputation hinges on Oakley existence. |
