| 15 | ->'''Voiced By:''' Gianpaolo Venuta (English)[[note]]'''Other Languages''':Sergey Bekasov (Russian)[[/note]] |
| 16 | [[quoteright:256:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Jason_Brody_2_201.jpg]] |
| 17 | |
| 18 | Talented, intelligent, and directionless, Jason Brody has drifted from one job to another without finding any that could sustain his interest. He instead devotes his passion to extreme sports (the sky-diving that landed on Rook is just one example among many) and his girlfriend, Liza, though they have clashed in the past on his unwillingness to find a place in life. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | On Rook, Jason must at last commit to a goal - rescuing his friends. In this he discovers a capacity for violence that frightens even himself, a remarkable talent for survival against overwhelming odds, an intense need for vengeance against those who have wronged him...and perhaps a place where he feels he can belong. But all these things demand a price. Whether he can or is willing to pay it remains to be determined. |
| 21 | ---- |
| 22 | * ActionSurvivor: At the start, he is just an athletic young man who wants to get the hell out of the pirate camp. |
| 23 | * AnimalisticAbilities: Jason is given a PowerTattoo that is said to simultaneously grant him the power of a shark, a heron and a spider. In game mechanics terms, each animal is associated with a branch of the [[SkillScoresAndPerks skill tree]]: Shark skills grant endurance, toughness and better healing, Heron skills grant better handling of long-range weapons and improve mobility, and Spider skills grant better stealth and more efficient exploration. |
| 24 | * AntiHero: A befuddled, timid classical Anti-Hero. [[spoiler:Initially. Pragmatic Anti-Hero or Nominal Hero later]]. |
| 25 | * TheAntiNihilist: [[spoiler: In the "Save Friends" ending, he comes to terms with the horrible things perpetrated by people on the island, much of which is of his own doing, and decides to stop himself from JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope by leaving the island with his friends and accepting responsibility for the atrocities he's committed.]] |
| 26 | * AudienceSurrogate: Jason fits this mold for the [[TheWatson usual]] [[EscapistCharacter reasons]] [[spoiler:at first. Later on, as he warms up to the [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Rakyat lifestyle]] to a [[BloodKnight disturbing extent]], and his quest to save his friends [[HeWhoFightsMonsters consumes him]], the similarities between him and the player [[YouBastard aren't presented so much as a good thing]]]]. |
| 27 | * AxCrazy: As soon as he begins to opt for violence and the habit of killing, Jason becomes increasingly bloodthirsty, cruel, brutal and {{sadist}}ic, to such an extent that he enjoys [[{{Pyromaniac}} pyromania]] and the habit of burning things, as evidenced in a mission. |
| 28 | * BadassNormal: No specialized training and learns "on the job" to have all of the skills of a master hunter and guerrilla. |
| 29 | * BloodKnight: Over the course of the game. This is pointed out by others. |
| 30 | * BlueIsHeroic: He wears a blue shirt, and is the AntiHero PlayerCharacter. |
| 31 | * BornLucky: He cheats death a lot and is a natural with a gun. |
| 32 | * BoundAndGagged: He and Grant are this at the beginning of the game. |
| 33 | * BreakTheBadass: [[spoiler:Jason's bravado and the adrenaline rush is cut off because of Buck and Citra.]] |
| 34 | ** [[spoiler: He goes through multiple trials for the Chinese dagger and after reuniting with Keith, Buck tries to betray him. After learning that Buck never intended to go through with his side of the bargain, Jason goes into a battle trance that allows him to overpower Buck and execute him by stabbing him with his own weapon. Afterwards, Jason is in shock and his hands are trembling, he has snapped back into reality and has realised what he's done. This wasn't a rescue mission or a power rush, Jason had to defend himself against someone who had always intended to hurt and dominate him.]] |
| 35 | ** [[spoiler:When Jason loses the rest of his humanity, Citra starts emotionally blackmailing him and feeding his psychopathy so he can become the perfect warrior. After freeing Riley and destroying Hoyt's empire, Citra captures Jason's friends and tries to convince Jason to stay on the island as both her champion and lover. If Jason agrees, Citra kills him after assuming she's pregnant with his child.]] |
| 36 | * BrilliantButLazy: Jason is smart enough to think his way through just about every obstacle in the game, and one of his hallucinations early-game indicate he was already a crack shot with a gun long before he killed a man with one, but before the events of the game he was a directionless college-age guy who didn't take any initiative. |
| 37 | * BuriedInAPileOfCorpses: In one of the game's more nightmarish sequences, Jason has to crawl his way out after Vaas shoots him and leaves him in one. |
| 38 | * ClassicalAntiHero: [[spoiler: At the beginning of the game, at least. He eventually becomes a SociopathicHero.]] |
| 39 | * TheChosenOne: Played with as Jason starts off as a Rakyat warrior recruited, primarily, for escaping from Vaas' camp and killing one of his men along the way. His later position as their chosen warrior to kill Vaas and Hoyt is earned on mountains of corpses. [[spoiler:Subverted, also, in that Citra has no intention of letting Jason Brody live.]] |
| 40 | * CombatPragmatist: Jason can take on the pirates guns blazing if need be. Or he can just smack the lock off a tiger's cage and run like hell as it mauls its captors. Hey, a free outpost is a free outpost. |
| 41 | * DeadPersonImpersonation[=/=]DressingAsTheEnemy: Kills and impersonates one of Hoyt's recruits late in the game. |
| 42 | * DeadpanSnarker: Becomes more sarcastic as he gets more used to life on the islands. |
| 43 | * DestructiveSavior: The amount of damage Jason causes in just about every mission is staggering, but nowhere more so than during the treasure hunt for Buck where millennia-old historical sites of immeasurable significance routinely go down in flames within minutes of his arrival. It's a safe bet to assume that wherever Jason shows up, things will be looking ''a lot'' worse when he's left the premises. |
| 44 | * TheDragon: A figment of Jason appears as Citra's greatest warrior whom Vaas occasionally faced throughout his DLC in ''VideoGame/FarCry6''. |
| 45 | * TheDreaded: Eventually. At first the pirates don't really think of Jason as anything special, just another guy with a gun who is working with the Rakyat. Later on, they start referring to him by the "Snow White" moniker, but while derisive, it shows that they recognize him specifically. But after [[spoiler: Jason finally kills Vaas]], the pirates show a lot more respect, even calling him by his name in stark terror. |
| 46 | * EveryoneHasStandards: Despite being willing to resort to violence against humans and animals alike when he's traversing the Rook Islands, Jason is disgusted to hear that Hurk tried using monkeys as suicide bombers. |
| 47 | * {{Fingore}}: [[spoiler:His left ring finger is cut off by Hoyt.]] |
| 48 | -->'''[[spoiler:Hoyt]]:''' [[spoiler:[[FauxAffablyEvil Aw, Jason!]] [[FauxYay Now we'll never be married!]]]] |
| 49 | * FluffyTheTerrible: Rook Island is populated by mobsters, CIA spooks, pirates, and a ProudWarriorRace. Jason Brody is a rich college kid who they derisively nickname "Snow White." This proves to be a mistake. |
| 50 | ** His nickname is even sillier in the French version, in which it becomes "biquette" ("goat", in a familiar tone).[[note]]"Biquette" can also mean "sweetheart", which is more likely. The other meaning is "young female goat" or "doeling".[[/note]] |
| 51 | * FrenchJerk: Referenced. When he first meets Citra, she asks him "Did they teach you to speak without permission in America?" and he replies "No, I learned that in France." |
| 52 | * GainingTheWillToKill: His first kill was by accident and he is noticeably shocked after doing so. Not long after that, he's reluctant to take Dennis' money to buy a gun with the knowledge that he is soon going to be shooting other people with it. It's not much longer, though, that not only does he has no problem massacring a bunch of pirates, he starts liking it. |
| 53 | * GoingNative: [[spoiler:Though he snaps out of it in the "Save Friends" ending. And dies because of it in the "Join Citra" ending.]] |
| 54 | * HardWorkHardlyWorks: Subverted. Jason Brody may have an unusual talent for killing and mayhem but the amount of experience he must accumulate to level up means that he'll have to kill literally ''hundreds'' of animals and pirates to reach his full potential. |
| 55 | * HeelRealization: As Jason goes through every trials and obstacles, he becomes more accustomed with the lifestyle of a warrior and the bloodlust, even wishing to stay on the island. This comes to a point where he starts distancing himself from his friends and will not go back to the States with them. [[spoiler:It is only when he is forced to torture his younger brother in order to maintain his cover as one of Hoyt's men that he realizes that becoming a Rakyat warrior has also made him a monster.]] |
| 56 | ** HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoiler:Ultimately, any effort for Jason to change can be for naught in the "Join Citra" ending]]. |
| 57 | * HotBlooded: Increasingly, [[spoiler:until the ending, in which he can choose to pull out of his dive. Even in that case, however, he acknowledges what he is deep down, but makes an effort to prove himself better]]. |
| 58 | * HeWhoFightsMonsters: Over the course of the game, he goes from a nerve-wracked ActionSurvivor trying to save his remaining friends from an AxCrazy {{Pirate}} to a HotBlooded BloodKnight hell-bent on revenge, a different kind of insanity to counter the BigBad, and then a ruthlessness not far from the GreaterScopeVillain. |
| 59 | ** This fittingly ties into what the Jackal said all the way back in ''Videogame/FarCry2''. He claimed that tapping into the darkness to overcome your enemies can be useful - but if you [[BecomingTheMask get lost in it]], then you become worse than your enemies. Ultimately, you lose sight of who you really are, in the dark, and that can wind up killing you. |
| 60 | * IAmAMonster: [[spoiler:In the "Save Friends" ending, Jason narrates how his experience on Rook Island has make him a monster no different from Vaas and Hoyt and even after leaving the island, he can still feels all the rage he had built up inside him]]. |
| 61 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Can inflict this on numerous different enemies in gameplay. From a story perspective, he [[spoiler:kills Buck, Vaas, and Hoyt in this manner. Vaas even jams a knife into Jason's torso before Jason manages to kill Vaas, so he's been on both ends - and, unusually, ''survived'' being the receiver. Partially subverted however as WordOfGod confirms Jason was actually stabbed with a hypodermic needle, and even without knowing this it can be assumed he didn't really get stabbed, since [[ThroughTheEyesOfMadness Vaas somehow had the ancient Chinese dagger Jason had just recovered for Citra]]. In the two endings of the game, he's either on the receiving fatal end of this from Citra, or the attempted receiving end from Dennis only stopped by Citra.]] |
| 62 | * InstantExpert: DownplayedTrope. Jason Brody learns wilderness and combat skills which would make [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Aragorn]] envious, but it's all ''on the job learning.'' Jason also is established as a fanatic when it comes to extreme sports and is noted by his brother to be excellent military material, if he actually had the drive to do so. |
| 63 | * ItGetsEasier: Jason is horrified the first time he has to kill someone. The hundreds of other times after that? Not so much. |
| 64 | * KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:OutWithABang only happens to him in one ending because he murdered Liza and his remaining friends and family in cold blood at Citra's urging. As shaky as his mental state had become (''not'' helped by the staggering quantity of drugs in his system), it was his choice to make.]] |
| 65 | * LetsGetDangerous: Arguably the point of the game. Jason starts off as a pasty Neet California boy, but caught between torture, slavery, or death, he becomes the island's most terrifying guest in ages. |
| 66 | * MightyWhitey: |
| 67 | ** Though this is not met with a lot of enthusiasm at first, Jason is gradually chosen as the chosen warrior of the Rakyat for his prowess, first being his survival of an encounter with Vaas. Though he is more their errand boy than their leader. |
| 68 | ** One of Dennis' early lines indicates that Rook Island draws "the strong" to itself. In which case, ''anyone'' who arrives on the island, for whatever reason, may invoke this trope regardless of race. Going by the background of Rook, it's apparently a repeating occurrence - outsiders come to the island, take over, enslave or claim leadership of the natives, eventually go insane, and get killed either in the jungle or by other outsiders come to do exactly the same thing. Even Citra's mythological tale of Rook Island's origin (the "prince from the northern kingdom" who came to slay the giant) reflects this. Jason's actions are just one iteration in a long line of repeating events. |
| 69 | ** Also, played with due to the fact the Rakyat seem to include Caucasians as well as other ethnicities. [[spoiler: Citra's betrayal calls into question how much of Jason was anything other than a convenient weapon to point at her brother, too.]] |
| 70 | * NumberTwo: To BigGood Citra. [[spoiler: Subverted as she's anything but.]] |
| 71 | * OohMeAccentsSlipping: His voice actor is Canadian, so trying to make Jason sound Californian doesn't always work for him. |
| 72 | * OneManArmy: Jason pretty much does most of the work for the Rakyat. [[spoiler:He single-handedly kills most of Vaas' pirates as well as Hoyt's privateers.]] By the end of the game, his body count could be in the four digits. The player can liberate all the outposts if they want, effectively overthrowing a heavily-armed regime alone. |
| 73 | ** The game encourages you to be a OneManArmy through being a StealthExpert versus a more traditional gun-toting killing machine. You can do this too but expect the game to treat you like a GlassCannon. |
| 74 | * PlayerCharacter: Of the single-player campaign. |
| 75 | * PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Downplayed. In the side-mission, "Light at the End of the Jungle", he encourages Rebecca's husband to go back to his wife in such a way that suggests he has heteronormative tendencies. (To be fair, cheating ''is'' wrong.) Also, his overall arc, from his perspective, is pure MightyWhitey. |
| 76 | * PopculturedBadass: Makes [[ShoutOut references]] to a wide variety of media. |
| 77 | * PossessionImpliesMastery: Despite the fact that Jason has no on-screen weapons training, he is an expert with every weapon he picks up in the entire game. The game attempts to explain this via an early-game hallucination/memory where Grant (himself a former military man who could have given him pointers in the backstory) mentions that Jason is "a natural with a gun", and earlier Jason's reluctance to buy a gun with the money Dennis offers him noticeably has him protesting he's never fired a gun ''on somebody'', not that he's never handled a gun period, but it's highly likely Jason never had prior experience with rocket launchers. |
| 78 | * PrettyBoy: Deconstructed. He is a very handsome man, and therefore numerous characters show clear attraction to him. The deconstruction comes in due to the Rook Islands being ''the last place'' you want to be considered attractive and the aforementioned "clear attractions" have unsavory connotations. When he first meets Buck, the mercenary takes a moment to eye up Jason before speaking, and clearly wants to take him in along with [[spoiler:Keith]] as a sex slave. Similarly, Citra ends up falling in love with him as he starts to prove himself. Also, when walking around the Privateers Compound, Jason will get random quips from soldiers. |
| 79 | -->'''Soldier:''' Well, well, Hoyt's hiring pretty boys now. You better pucker up that asshole. |
| 80 | * PyrrhicVictory: [[spoiler: Killing Vaas and Hoyt does little to give Jason peace. He struggles with the monster he has become and how he is going to balance his peaceful home-life with his bloodthirsty nature in the future. As Vaas aptly describes the situation, "We are fucked."]] |
| 81 | * RealLifeSuperpowers: The tatau apparently gives you this in spades. Jason never really demonstrates powers or abilities beyond what any really talented person could do in RealLife [[note]]Maybe healing from near-fatal injuries with an injection, but [[GameplayAndStorySegregation that's a necessary element in videogames]][[/note]], but there's no denying that he takes it to such an extreme that no one would be faulted for thinking the tatau made him Franchise/{{Superman}}. |
| 82 | ** Played with as while the tatau might be considered a magical talisman, almost all of Jason Brody's ''powers'' are skills that he might learn hunting down pirates and wild animals as a necessary part of leveling up. |
| 83 | * RedBaron: "Snow White." That said, it's not really all that badass sounding. |
| 84 | ** AppropriatedAppellation: Pirates apparently gave him this name out of contempt, and at least one you kill may be heard to say, "Killed by Snow White? That sucks..." |
| 85 | ** Given that the majority of the native population would never have heard the story of Snow White, and know very little about snow, [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant the meaning they would apply to it would be]] ''[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast The White Man Who Is A Cold Blooded Killer.]]'' |
| 86 | *** FromNobodyToNightmare: As Jason's bodycount rises into the triple-digits against impossible odds, [[spoiler:including killing Vaas, who was easily viewed as one of the most dangerous men on the entire island]], it starts carrying much more weight among the pirates. |
| 87 | * SanitySlippage: Becomes a HotBlooded BloodKnight as the game progresses, scaring his ActionSurvivor friends. [[spoiler:In the "Save Friends" ending, he finally tries to come back from the brink, and he notes in the ending narration that he's going to be struggling with that nature for a very long time.]] |
| 88 | * StrawNihilist: Prior to the events described in TheAntiNihilist above, Jason slowly starts growing [[GoingNative more enamored]] with the Rakyat's belief in this lifestyle, and becomes [[ItGetsEasier more willing to rationalize]] to all the killing he is forced to do. [[spoiler: In the "Kill Liza" ending, he fully embraces this lifestyle [[KickTheDog at the cost of his friends' lives]]. He earns a [[OutWithABang post-coital]] stabbing [[KarmicDeath for his choice]]]]. |
| 89 | * ThisLoserIsYou: The intro and flashbacks show him to be a {{Neet}}, whose [[UnluckyEverydude relationship with his girlfriend]] had become strained [[DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife over his lack of direction]]. After spending more time on the islands, he gains [[JumpedAtTheCall a sense of purpose]], though [[TheUnfettered how healthy this is]] for him is debatable. All this is meant to mirror the player's situation in [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential deciding to engage in the violent actions]] the game encourages. |
| 90 | * TookALevelInBadass: Through out the game Jason goes from scared college kid derisively called "Snow White" to being the second most crazed and (arguably) the most dangerous warrior the Rakyat have, slaughtering his way through every Pirate, Privateer, and animal that goes against him. |
| 91 | * UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:To Citra and the Rakyat. Jason is little more than a useful tool with delusions of grandeur. While they may have not expected him to do quite as well as he later proves capable of being, it's obvious Citra never expected to let him be the island ruler he has visions of becoming.]] |
| 92 | * WhatHaveIBecome: [[spoiler:Asks himself this after torturing Riley by punching him senseless and shoving his thumb into a bullet wound.]] |
| 93 | * WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: One of the key themes of the story is how close Jason is to becoming this. As soon as he finds himself in a life-and-death situation on the island and begins killing mercilessly, we wonder how close he is to degenerating into a monster, or if he can still go back to being the person he once was. The final mission answers these questions, [[spoiler:depending on your choice]]. |

| 96 | [[folder:Liza]] |
| 97 | !!Liza Snow |
| 98 | ->'''Voiced By:''' Mylène Dinh-Robic (English)[[note]]'''Other Languages''':Elena Ivasishina (Russian)[[/note]] |
| 99 | [[quoteright:249:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Liza_9636.jpg]] |
| 100 | |
| 101 | An only child brought up in a dysfunctional household, Liza Snow was always the responsible one. Passionate, smart, and sensible, she enjoys helping others conquer their problems. After initially being attracted to Grant's self-possession, she saw Jason's untapped potential and fell in love. She passionately believes in Jason and sees great potential in him when no one else does, even him. |
| 102 | ---- |
| 103 | |
| 104 | * ActionSurvivor: Given the circumstances, her driving skills just after she's rescued are incredibly impressive, and the fact that her AI can and will run over enemies in her path makes her one of the few members of the group who can actually kill anyone. |
| 105 | * BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: She wants Jason to grow up and find something to do with his life beside partying. Jason eventually finds out he is good at violence and want to stay on the island. She lampshades it during their break up. |
| 106 | * BettyAndVeronica: The Betty to Citra's Veronica. Shows a lot less skin than Citra, and wants Jason to leave the Rook Islands and get a steady job. |
| 107 | * DamselInDistress: Twice. Once, when she's held for a ransom video by Vaas, ending with a fire in the house where she is kept. Later, [[spoiler:at the hands of the Rakyat]]. |
| 108 | * MadeOfIron: Shortly after Jason rescues her from Vaas, she and him fall through several storys of scaffolding until they eventually hit the floor hard. Neither of them suffers as much as a scratch, and while that's more or less expected from Jason, it's one hell of a lot more impressive from Liza. |
| 109 | * MoralityPet: Tries to serve as one to Jason. Depending on the players choices it can go well or not. |
| 110 | * NiceGirl: She obviously cares greatly for Jason, and for the rest of their group. |
| 111 | * SlashedThroat: [[spoiler:If Jason kills her.]] |
| 112 | * WetBlanketWife: Wants Jason to stop doing the cool stuff that the audience has paid to see. Then again, considering Jason's undergoing SanitySlippage, you can't really blame her. |
| 113 | * WhatTheHellHero: Though all the survivors get in on the act a little, she's clearly the most disturbed and upset by Jason's free-fall into madness and doesn't hold back on letting him know. |
| 114 | [[/folder]] |
| 115 | |
| 116 | [[folder:Riley]] |
| 117 | !!Riley Brody |
| 118 | ->'''Voiced By:''' Alex Harrouch (English)[[note]]'''Other Languages''':Rachik Orujev (Russian)[[/note]] |
| 119 | [[quoteright:247:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Fc3riley_991.jpg]] |
| 120 | |
| 121 | The youngest of the three Brody brothers. |
| 122 | ---- |
| 123 | * AcePilot: The reason Jason and the others are on the island is to celebrate him getting his pilot's license. |
| 124 | * ActionSurvivor: [[spoiler: Upon finally being rescued, he's instantly flung into an extremely intense situation that involves him flying a helicopter (which he's never done before, mind you) to get himself and Jason to safety. All things considered, he does amazingly well.]] |
| 125 | * AmbiguouslyGay: In the flashback missions at the club, he can be seen dancing with what appears to be another dude. He's also the only male in the group that doesn't have a girlfriend or show an explicit attraction to the opposite sex. |
| 126 | * ChekhovsSkill: [[spoiler:Partially averted. The pilot license that Riley recently acquired was for a plane, not helicopter. Despite this, he is capable of piloting one out of Hoyt's hangar at the game's climax.]] |
| 127 | * DistressedDude: At the start, Riley is captured and presumed to be held somewhere. [[spoiler: After a while of falsely believing that Riley is dead, Jason finds out he's still alive and being held prisoner by Hoyt]]. |
| 128 | * HiddenDepths: It’s implied that he’s given Hoyt more problems than is apparent at first glance. Compared to Oliver and Lisa, who are kept by the less dangerous and less well-armed pirates of the north island, Riley is being kept prisoner by the Privateers, in their home base no less. The fact that he was so close to escaping that the privateers shot him would indicate that he came extremely close to getting away - since Hoyt explicitly says that “damaging his product” is punishable by death, his men wouldn’t risk shooting at an escapee unless the alternative was losing them entirely. |
| 129 | ** [[spoiler:In the “All In” mission, he’s able to very quickly ascertain not to give Jason’s name while on camera. When it’s clear that Jason and Sam can’t rescue him at that moment, whereas Jason has to have his suggestion of distracting the privateers shot down, Riley ''gives him the go-ahead'' to beat the shit out of him to maintain their cover]]. All in all, Riley is much tougher than he initially appears. |
| 130 | * InstantExpert: [[spoiler:Despite having no experience piloting a helicopter, Riley is able to fly one to escape from Hoyt's men]]. |
| 131 | * JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: [[spoiler:At the hands of Jason himself as Jason is infiltrating Hoyt's privateers. For extra fun, there's recognition on both their parts a split second before Jason has to crack Riley in the jaw to avoid being given away and continue beating him mercilessly.]] |
| 132 | * MoralityPet: For Jason. [[spoiler:When he thinks Riley is dead from Keith's words, he sinks even deeper into the trap of the island in his desire for revenge, while finding out he's actually alive (and being forced to perform a JackBauerInterrogationTechnique on him to maintain his cover) gives him a heavy moment of MyGodWhatHaveIDone that helps shake off the hold.]] |
| 133 | * NiceGuy: Easily one of the nicest and most innocent characters in the game. |
| 134 | * NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:Keith says he saw Riley die, shot dead in an escape attempt. He ''was'' shot, and he fell, but the bullet didn't actually ''kill'' him. The privateers captured him to try and learn why Jason and his friends were on Rook.]] |
| 135 | * OnlyAFleshWound: [[spoiler:He gets shot in the shoulder during his escape attempt and goes untreated. This is never brought up ([[NightmareFuel except for when Jason helpfully presses into it during the torture scene]]) and doesn’t seem to hinder him at all.]] |
| 136 | * SexSlave: Hoyt’s plans for him, who sold him to someone "from Yemen, who like's them young". |
| 137 | * TheBabyOfTheBunch: He’s the youngest in the group of friends by a few years, at 21 years old, two years younger than the next-youngest (Oliver, 23) and nine younger than the oldest (Grant, 30). |
| 138 | [[/folder]] |

| 140 | [[folder:Grant]] |
| 141 | !!Grant Brody |
| 142 | ->'''Voiced By:''' Lane Edwards (English)[[note]]'''Other Languages''':Denis Nekrasov (Russian)[[/note]] |
| 143 | [[quoteright:249:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Fc3grant_2691.jpg]] |
| 144 | |
| 145 | Everything Grant does, he does well. All-American good looks, a killer work ethic and nuanced social skills carried him easily to the team captain position on the high school and college swim teams. After graduating, he joined the army reserve while training for the national swim team. As the eldest son of a household missing a father, Grant protects his friends and brothers. |
| 146 | ---- |
| 147 | * TheAce: Implied in the opening, since he's the reason Jason even gets a chance to live long enough to try to save their friends. |
| 148 | * ActionGenreHeroGuy: Subverted. While he certainly fits much of the bill in both background, personality, and appearance, he is not the hero of the game and is already killed off in the tutorial. |
| 149 | * BigBrotherInstinct: He's very protective over Jason and Riley and considers their situation a failure on his part. |
| 150 | * BigOlEyebrows: He has some pretty dense eyebrows. |
| 151 | * BoundAndGagged: He and Jason are this at the beginning of the game. |
| 152 | * CrazyIsCool: [[InUniverse According to Jason.]][[invoked]] |
| 153 | * DeathByOriginStory: For Jason. Vaas shoots Grant in the neck at the end of the tutorial level, leaving him to bleed out. |
| 154 | * DecoyProtagonist: Given the choice between the actual soldier and his panicking brother (Jason), it's quite clear that Grant would have been the main character in any other story with a similar premise. |
| 155 | * InformedAbility: He's supposed to have undergone army training before going on holiday near the Rook Islands, so you'd think Grant would know better than to check the map when he and his brother were only two feet away from the pirates' compound. |
| 156 | * IgnoredExpert: In the flashback, he is the only one voicing hesitation to go sky-diving to the Rook Islands. Sadly, no one seems to think to listen to the military expert. |
| 157 | * TheMentor: Serves the purpose of mentoring Jason through the tutorial, right up until falling victim to MentorOccupationalHazard. |
| 158 | * NervesOfSteel: Despite Vaas threatening Grant when he tries to mumble something through his tape gag, when Vaas later leaves the two alone with the guard, Grant immediately breaks out of his bonds and begins helping Jason and himself escape from the camp, clearly unfazed by the oppressive atmosphere and Vaas's intimidation attempts. |
| 159 | * TooDumbToLive: His death is due to one glaring mistake: When you sneak under the bad guys you can clearly hear, two feet away in the open where anyone passing the massive lack of a wall or fence or anything is not where you go to check the map. |
| 160 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: Gets barely five minutes of screentime before he checks out via bullet to the throat. His appearances in Jason's optional drug-fuelled flashbacks don't give him much more characterization, either. |

| 166 | [[quoteright:249:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Fc3daisy_1755.jpg]] |
| 167 | |
| 168 | Daisy Lee was Grant Brody's girlfriend and is part of the group of friends Jason must rescue throughout the game. She has similar characteristics to Grant that may have drawn them together--strength of will, athleticism (as a champion swimmer) and extreme confidence in herself that she often lends to others to help them. However, she lacks his military experience and has no fondness for violence. |
| 169 | ---- |
| 170 | * ActionSurvivor: She is the only Action Survivor other than Jason to successfully escape her predicament on her own. Going by her injuries, she was also attacked at least once by either a tiger or leopard during her escape, but still managed to get away. The only reason she needs help when Jason finds her is because she didn't know she was running through a field of toxic plants while bleeding, and was poisoned. |
| 171 | * CoolBigSis: To the whole party. |
| 172 | * DamselOutOfDistress: Not only is she tough as nails (see above), but she quickly gets over [[spoiler: the death of her boyfriend, Jason's brother, Grant]] and quickly starts thinking about ways of getting the survivors off the island (see WrenchWench), similar in some ways to Jason himself, just with less killing. |
| 173 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: A stunning blonde and the second-most kindhearted character after Liza, she's largely responsible for holding her traumatized friends together and finding them a way off the island while Jason's off wreaking havoc. |
| 174 | * MistakenIdentity: Doctor Earnhardt confuses her for "Agnes", his deceased daughter... who died at the age of ''two''. |
| 175 | * OnlySaneMan: She keeps her calm and contribute the most in the group after Jason, who is gaining bloodlust. |
| 176 | * TeamMom: A subtle example, she is the most put-together of the party and looks after her friends and plans their escape while Jason runs about GoingNative. She is the first survivor to make it to the hideout, and serves to welcome each if her friends as they return. She can be seen tending to Keith upon his rescue, sitting beside him while he recovers, and comforts Liza when Jason tells the group he intends to stay. In the flashback sequences at the Bangkok nightclub, she advises Jason to work on his relationship. |
| 177 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: When Jason tearfully breaks the news about Grant's death to her, she while consumed by her own anger and sadness tells him that whoever killed Grant (read Vaas) deserves to die. Jason doesn't refute her point, but Daisy's words can be seen as unintentionally feeding Jason's own initial descent as he goes from just killing in self-defense and to save his friends to indulging further in "justified" revenge. |
| 178 | * WrenchWench: Works on a boat for the others to escape in. |

| 184 | [[quoteright:248:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Fc3oliver_1656.PNG]] |
| 185 | |
| 186 | Oliver Carswell is a good friend of Jason, rich and an avid drug enthusiast. It's implied from the intro that he was the one who paid for the vacation which landed him and his friends on Rook Island. |
| 187 | ---- |
| 188 | * ActionSurvivor: Though a rich kid and stoner, Oliver will actually snatch up a fallen AK-47 when Jason rescues him and return fire. He still needs Jason to cover him to escape, but he's no slouch and adjusts very quickly to the situation, readily manning the escape boat. He, Liza, and Grant are the only ones of Jason's group besides Jason himself that can kill anyone throughout the game. |
| 189 | * CasualDangerDialogue: Hilariously tries to catch up on things with Jason while being chased and shot at by RuthlessModernPirates. This is ''after'' a period of imprisonment, a beating and a firefight, mind you. Granted, it seems to at least partially because he assumed the pirates were always going to let him go once his parents paid the ransom, and only grasps the full seriousness when Jason up-front tells him they would have sold him into slavery even if the ransom had been paid. |
| 190 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: As soon as Jason opens fire on Oliver's captors, he grabs a rifle and gets to cover. As long as Jason doesn't let too many pirates swarm him, he can take care of himself fairly competently. |
| 191 | * GoingNative: He adjusts to life in the island even quicker than Jason does, and intends to stay behind and live with the doctor. Jason talks him out of it. |
| 192 | * HiddenDepths: Despite seeming to be the least mature of the group, he adjusts to the island as quickly as Jason and braves the crisis as well as Daisy. Despite the girls' despair and disapointment, he completely respects Jason's decision to stay behind, and even gives up on his own plans in order to bring the news of the Brody brothers home to their mother. As Jason himself puts it, Ollie is stronger than he thinks. |
| 193 | * InSeriesNickname: He's often called "Ollie". |
| 194 | * LighterandSofter: Character arc version. Compared to what the rest of Jason's friends incurred, Oliver doesn't seem to have suffered too much and the missions to save him don't involve the level of deconstruction otherwise prevalent throughout the rest of the game. Noticeably, his rescue happens between Liza's rescue (which ends with Liza freaking out and pointing out that killing dozens of people isn't something Jason should be happy about) and Keith's rescue (who's so broken from Buck's sexual sadism it's made apparent that even if they do escape the Rook Island, none of them will ever be the same.) |
| 195 | * ParentalNeglect: He complains that his rich parents were too busy traveling to give Ollie any attention. He considers the Brody brothers his ''real'' family. |
| 196 | * TheStoner: Almost the second he is safely hidden away in Earnhardt's cave, he begins to hit the doctor up for drugs. He even initially plans on staying on the island to spend the rest of his days getting high as a kite, though thankfully Jason talks him out of it. |

| 203 | |
| 204 | Keith Ramsay is a friend of Jason and a successful Wall Street banker. He decides to take some time off from his demanding job to go travelling with his friends. |
| 205 | ---- |
| 206 | * BloodyHandprint: A use of the trope with unconventional (but similarly horrifying) symbolism behind it. [[spoiler:Before he was sold to Buck, Keith's shirt was clean white. When Jason finds him, it's marked all over with dark red handprints and stays that way, and Keith flinches from almost any touch. [[SexSlave It's not hard to connect the dots]].]] |
| 207 | * BreakTheBadass: [[spoiler:The once dominating and combative Keith is now left with a broken spirit and a fear of being touched after becoming Buck's sex slave.]] |
| 208 | * BreakTheHaughty: Flashbacks show him as confident, belligerent, and dismissive of any perceived weakness. After his experiences on Rook, he's... no longer like that. He's still able to put up a strong front, but he's mainly doing it to hide just how bad he took the experience. |
| 209 | * BrokenBird: His experience with Buck has severely damaged him. In the flashbacks, Keith was shown to combative and angry as he caused a fight between himself and some club attendees. |
| 210 | * DistressedDude: For a while, courtesy of Buck. |
| 211 | * FightMagnet: Implied in a drug-induced flashback. |
| 212 | * {{Irony}}: Before being sold as a sex slave to a sadistic pervert, he was an internet porn addict with a combative personality. |
| 213 | * {{Jerkass}}: Whatever positive character traits he might have, he never shows them on-screen. When he gets into a spat with some locals in a club and is asked if he thinks he's better than them, he flat-out confirms that he does. His profile and whatever else one learns about him doesn't paint him in any better light. |
| 214 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: With all the above said, he's genuinely grateful for Jason rescuing him and keeping his story secret. He also is genuinely happy to see the others again and wishes Jason the best [[spoiler:when he says he's not going back to the States]]. |
| 215 | * PornStash: His profile mentions he's a paying customer to [[TheInternetIsForPorn dozens of porn websites]], and although it's unclear whether he has a personal stash somewhere, he certainly has ready access to lots of others. |
| 216 | * RapeAsDrama: [[spoiler:Heavily implied from Buck. And no [[DoubleStandardRapeMaleOnMale double standard]] here, as Jason is completely sympathetic to him and Keith is shown to be completely traumatised by the experience.]] |
| 217 | * RedOniBlueOni: A flashback shows him being the red Oni to Riley's blue Oni (whose ColorMotif, not coincidentally, is blue) with the youngest Brody brother trying to solve a situation diplomatically and Keith trying to literally punch his way out. |
| 218 | * ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: According to the Survival Guide, "he was caught cheating on several tests, but his pops bailed him out." |
| 219 | * UnreliableExpositor: [[spoiler:He saw Riley get shot and fall, and assumed he died. However, Riley is proven to be very much alive near the end of the game.]] |
| 220 | * WhiteIsPure: [[spoiler: Before being captured on the Island, Keith wore a clean white shirt but after his experience with Buck, his shirt is grimy and there is a noticeable bloody handprint on the back of his left sleeve. It's all but said that Keith was bought as Buck's sex slave and the experience has left him so traumatized that he practically begs Jason to get him out.]] |

| 226 | Vincent Salas is a friend of Jason and an engineering student at Cal Tech. He was originally intended to be rescued by Jason in a mission like the others until Liza was made the objective of his rescue mission instead due to time constraints. |
| 227 | ---- |
| 228 | * AllThereInTheManual: His background as an engineering student can be found this way. |
| 229 | * {{Flashback}}: The only place the player can find him within the game is in the flashback sequences to the nightclub where Jason and his friends partied before setting off to the Rook islands on Doug's advice. |
| 230 | * IJustShotMarvinInTheFace: [[WhatCouldHaveBeen Had most of his content not been cut from the game]] he would have been the subject of this courtesy of Jason. |
| 231 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Good luck trying to find out what happened to this guy. The best anyone can guess is that he was the friend Vaas was referring to in the tutorial mission when he spoke of slicing one of Jason's friends open. |

| 239 | [[quoteright:235:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Willis_Huntly_3249.jpg]] |
| 240 | |
| 241 | Agent Willis Huntley is a CIA operative who provides Jason Brody with information about the islands and its inhabitants. To that effect he's also the writer of the in-game "Survival Guide". |
| 242 | |
| 243 | He reappears in ''VideoGame/FarCry4'', intent on doing some "house cleaning" for the CIA. If we take one of his remarks there at face value, he does not remember Jason fondly. And he shows up yet again in ''VideoGame/FarCry5'', and still doesn't think too highly of Jason (or Ajay Ghale, for that matter). |
| 244 | ---- |
| 245 | * AnswersToTheNameOfGod: Inverted when you follow him into his hideout: |
| 246 | -->'''Huntley:''' You have ten seconds to tell me who you are before I remotely detonate the C4 under the table and this whole place explodes like a pop bottle.\ |
| 247 | '''Jason:''' ''[[OhCrap Jesus]]!''\ |
| 248 | '''Huntley:''' [[DeadpanSnarker I doubt it.]] Five seconds. |
| 249 | * AuthorTract: He writes every entry in Jason's digital handbook. While there's some useful intel in there, he mostly uses it as a platform for [[CulturalPosturing patriotic rambling]], [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain dismissing foreign cultures]], and taking vicious shots at his [[AwfulWeddedLife ex-wife]] and [[ObnoxiousInLaws her mother]]. |
| 250 | * AwfulWeddedLife: He compares several animals to his ex-wife in your handbook. Suffice to say, the comparisons aren't flattering. |
| 251 | * BeardOfEvil: More like Beard of Political Incorrectness, but in ''Far Cry 4'', he more solidly qualifies as this thanks to [[spoiler: betraying Ajay to Yuma]]. |
| 252 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: [[CloudCuckoolander Willis is a very strange man]], but he has managed to gather quite a bit of information on the people, the native floura and fauna and locations on the island. He also manages to maintain a link with an agent in deep undercover in Hoyt's operation and knows enough to reliably point Jason in the right direction. It's pretty impressive he's managed to do this without getting his head chopped off. |
| 253 | * CanonWelding: Along with Hurk, Willis is the only thing connecting ''Far Cry 3'' to its sequel. |
| 254 | * CardCarryingVillain: In ''Far Cry 4'', he openly tells [[spoiler: Ajay that every patriot he knows is a "sonofabitch." [[SelfDeprecation Himself included]].]] |
| 255 | * CloudCuckoolander: A paranoid, bizarre, [[EagleLand hyper-patriotic]] CIA agent who talks about global politics, human history and brutal warfare like he's in an off-color propaganda reel. |
| 256 | * CoolShades: He wears them constantly, which makes sense due to the sunny tropical setting, but then [[SunglassesAtNight he still wears them at night and indoors]]. |
| 257 | * TheCloudCuckoolanderWasRight: When Jason asks him if he ever goes out on recon with his men, Willis replies that he doesn't and cites that he won't be GoingNative as long as he stays where there's "order and society." While his mental state indicates [[GoMadFromTheIsolation it's not quite working out for him as well as he claims]], he's much better put together mentally than most of the villains despite having spent a good deal of time on the island by trying to disconnect himself from "the jungle". [[spoiler:Compare that to Jason, who embraces "the jungle" to the point he undergoes SanitySlippage ''much'' faster and farther.]] |
| 258 | -->"''No, no, no... There's a reason why I have the American flag in here. In here, there's society, there's order. Out there? In the jungle?! The synapses in our brains go dark little by little. You forget where you're from, who you are!''" |
| 259 | * CulturalPosturing: He seems unable to go for three sentences without comparing America to something foreign and distasteful; at one point he goes on a rant about how chewing gum being illegal in Singapore is "declaring war on Uncle Sam", and the Survival Guide info about a gun from there calls them "fascists". It's not clear if this jingoism is due to his (implied) nature as a Republican, or if Rook Island has gotten to him. |
| 260 | * CrazyPrepared: When Jason enters his hideout, Willis reveals he has booby-trapped the ground floor with enough plastic to level half the surrounding village in case someone tracked him down. He also keeps an unusual collection of equipment handy that's often just the thing Jason needs for the next mission. |
| 261 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Easy to miss and never outright stated, but in the handbook entries for the elusive seagulls and [[GuideDangIt only-killable-via-glitch]] jellyfish, he seems [[TroubledBackStoryFlashback haunted by traumatic memories]], likely agrivated by his stress and paranoia. These entries presumably harken back to some of his darker work as a CIA operative, or perhaps a military past. |
| 262 | -->"''Every night I watch the skies from inside my bunker. They'll come back. If I watch they'll come. I can hear their voices from the sky. Calling out my name. There's the ridge. The guns in the jungle. Screaming. Smoke. The blood. All over my hands.''"\ |
| 263 | "''The screams through the night. The hot air of explosions shaking the treetops. The bodies. Some faceless. They were only following orders.''" |
| 264 | * DeadpanSnarker: Probably the islander who exhibits the trait most strongly. |
| 265 | * DirtyCommunists: His opinion of communist countries is pulled straight out of the Cold War. His information on every Soviet-made firearm in the survival handbook is rife with dismissive comments and mean-spirited jokes, even if he has to admit the guns are quality, and he refers to Ming dynasty Chinese as communists. It's hard to tell if this ''egregiously'' poor grasp of history is just his patriotic sense of humor or a touch of his jingoistic jitters getting to him. |
| 266 | * {{Eagleland}}er: Initially a mixed-type depending on who he is interacting. He is amiable when interacting with Jason because he is a fellow white like him, but instantly shifts to the Boorish-type when interacting with Ajay (part-Caucasian, part-Kyrati). |
| 267 | * {{Expy}}: Bears more than a passing resemblance to Det. Sonny Crockett from ''Series/MiamiVice''. |
| 268 | * GoMadFromTheIsolation: Not isolated per se, as he seems to frequent the bars and brothels of Badtown on CIA business, but he mentions having had little contact with Washington for quite some time, and appears to spend a great deal of time in his hidden basement. Goofiness aside, his behavior and dialogue can be quite erratic, and some of his handbook entries suggest some severe lapses in sanity. That said, he's definitely doing better in the mental health department [[GoingNative than most of the inhabitants]]. |
| 269 | * GoshDangItToHeck: He swears copiously... with G-rated swearwords. [[CatchPhrase "Pardon my French."]] |
| 270 | * HearingVoices: He claims to be the one putting information into your survival guide. If you manage to kill a seagull, he'll compose a dark, shell-shocked monologue about them calling to him. |
| 271 | * TheInformant: All of the info in the Survival Guide is written by him. |
| 272 | * {{Jerkass}}: Has shades of it in ''3'' (mainly due to his pronounced jingoism and contempt of foreign cultures), but [[TookALevelInJerkass turns into a really massive one]] in ''4''. |
| 273 | ** If you read some of the entries in Jason's handbook, you'll find that he's done his homework and thinks little of most of your friends, and has no problem telling you. |
| 274 | * KillItWithFire: By proxy - he's the one who provides Jason with the extremely destructive flamethrower to wreak havoc on Hoyt's drug fields (and whatever else may end up on the wrong side of its muzzle). |
| 275 | * LemonyNarrator: Judging by the use of his CatchPhrase on your PDA, Willis is responsible for providing a lot of information about the things that you find on the islands. He makes some very unusual comparisons of animals. For instance; |
| 276 | -->'''Manta Ray'''\ |
| 277 | ''Manta Rays are American animals. They're strong. They soar like eagles underwater. They're always on the go. And fish from third world countries clean their gills for no pay.'' |
| 278 | * NWordPrivileges: He tells Jason at one point that he feels "Capiche?" is a thing only Italians can say, stating that him saying it is like "spraying furniture gold". |
| 279 | * ObnoxiousInLaws: When he isn't comparing the local wildlife to his [[AwfulWeddedLife ex-wife]], it's usually her mother instead. |
| 280 | * PetTheDog: Through the handbook, he commiserates with Jason on Grant's death. He also wishes him luck as they part ways and congratulates him on taking out [[spoiler:Vaas Montenegro]]. |
| 281 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: [[spoiler:When he gets his first look at the Kyrati-American Ajay Ghale, Willis remarks that Ajay is "American on the inside, useful on the outside", as opposed to the white Jason.]] |
| 282 | * PutOnABus: [[spoiler:He has to [[VideoGame/ModernWarfare go to Russia to help as a part of Task Force 141]] (implied to be "Operation Kingfish" from the third ''Modern Warfare''), so he drops Jason off on the southern island and then leaves.]] However, that doesn't stop him from providing Jason with snarky intel on that location as well. |
| 283 | * SuddenSequelHeelSyndrome: Willis returns in ''VideoGame/FarCry4'', where he [[spoiler: tricks Ajay into killing a collection of CIA assets to remove the American footprint in Kyrat, then essentially sells him out to [[TheDragon Yuma]].]] |
| 284 | * TooDumbToLive: He dismisses warnings not to eat fish tainted by nuclear waste as left-wing nonsense. The remainder of the handbook entry trails off worryingly. |
| 285 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:The ''Control'' DLC reveals that Willis is partly responsible for the cause of Hope County being nuked in ''5'' as the nukes were likely launched from Kyrat as Pagan Min's retaliation for America's presence in his country]]. |

| 292 | |
| 293 | Sam Becker was an infiltration agent posing as a high-ranking Privateer for Hoyt Volker through Rook Islands CIA agent Willis Huntley. Sam was born in Texas, who then moved and was raised in Germany due to his father, a Navy SEAL, being stationed there. |
| 294 | ---- |
| 295 | * AllGermansAreNazis: Averted InUniverse. He is automatically believed to be villainous enough to be one of Hoyt's top men simply because he is German. [[spoiler: He's not really even German. His dad was a SEAL, and Sam was born when he had been recalled to Texas. Shortly thereafter, he was redeployed to Germany, so that's where Sam grew up. Presumably, that's where Sam got the accent and German mannerisms from.]] |
| 296 | * ArtisticLicenseHistory: InUniverse. He thinks that "Uncle Sam" is one of the founding fathers of the United States of America. Jason's very confused. |
| 297 | ** [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant Samuel Adams?]] |
| 298 | %%* BaldOfEvil: What he's pretending to be. |
| 299 | * BattleCry: BLITZKRIEG! |
| 300 | * BloodKnight: He calls an assault on a huge enemy encampment "the best day of his life". |
| 301 | * DeathByIrony: [[spoiler:He brings a knife in his boot to Hoyt's poker game so he can kill him with it. Instead, he himself dies when Hoyt shoves a large knife into his throat. It's Jason who stabs Hoyt to death afterwards.]] |
| 302 | * DeepCoverAgent: He's been embedded with Hoyt's privateers for ''years'' without hearing from his handler. |
| 303 | * TheDogBitesBack: He had to do a lot of unpleasant shit for the privateers and Hoyt, so he takes ''extreme'' pleasure when he and Jason finally get to break the operation open. |
| 304 | * EleventhHourRanger: He's your primary ally on the southern island, which is only visited in the latter third of the game. |
| 305 | * {{Fauxreigner}}: [[spoiler:He was born in Texas, making him as American as Jason, but he grew up among Germans, which possibly justifies his accent.]] |
| 306 | * GratuitousGerman: As one would expect. Particular cases include stating that Jason needs to disguise himself for safety from Hoyt or he'll be "blown into a thousand stücke" and outlining the plan to kill Hoyt as causing "chaos in his Gestapo" to keep him distracted. |
| 307 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:During a poker game with Hoyt, who had found out about the plan to kill him.]] |
| 308 | * ImpromptuTracheotomy: [[spoiler:Hoyt's knife goes into his throat when he kills him.]] |
| 309 | * NiceGuy: One of the few characters that genuinely cares about the well-being of Jason and [[spoiler:Riley]], outside what he stands to gain from said well-being. |

| 325 | |
| 326 | Alec Earnhardt basks in an artificial glow of life generated by the pills he takes daily. Originally hailing from Oxford, he went sailing around the world after personal tragedy, ultimately discovering Rook Island and all the wonderful hallucinogens and narcotics growing among the local flora. He set up a lab on the northwestern end of the island and now makes his living making and selling drugs to clients throughout the area- including Vaas. |
| 327 | ---- |
| 328 | * AlmostDeadGuy: [[spoiler:Tells Jason where his friends were taken and by whom before dying of his wounds.]] |
| 329 | * BeneathSuspicion: Jason requests for Earnhardt to shelter his friends at his place because he believes that Vass wouldn't look at the place where they frequently buy their medicine. |
| 330 | * CloudCuckooLander: He's noticeably not all there in the head, thanks to his habits. |
| 331 | * CoolOldGuy: He's the oldest member of the cast, and is pretty cool once you get past his eccentric, almost-constantly-stoned nature. |
| 332 | * DramaticIrony: [[spoiler:Instead of Vaas' pirates attacking him for harboring Jason's friends like Earnhardt feared, it is the Rakyat instead.]] |
| 333 | * DrFeelgood: He left a few red pills by the cave if you want to relax. |
| 334 | * DrowningMySorrows: One of the reasons he got into drugs in the first place. |
| 335 | * EruditeStoner: He knows what he is doing even though he is on a bunch of drugs, only downside is that he thinks Daisy is his daughter at times, but aside from that he is knowledgable. |
| 336 | * {{Expy}}: A brilliant, {{cloudcuckoolander}} doctor with a a penchant for psychotropics? Sounds a lot like ''Series/{{Fringe}}'''s Walter Bishop. |
| 337 | * FrontierDoctor: While not normally employed to act as this, Earnhardt does fall into this role while having to treat Daisy for exposure to poisonous plants. |
| 338 | * GoKartingWithBowser: It's implied in the ''Far Cry 6'' "Insanity" DLC that Vaas and Dr. Earnhardt had a good relationship, often tripping on drugs together, which accounts for why Earnhardt never gets attacked by Vaas' pirates. |
| 339 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:He is killed trying to protect Jason's friends from the Rakyat]]. |

| 341 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:By the Rakyat, who kidnap Jason's friends.]] |
| 342 | * MadDoctor: He's a nice enough person (at least, in comparison with most major island inhabitants), but he has obvious mental health problems and samples the pharmaceutical wares he mixes and sells to the pirates. He's still a good guy, though. |
| 343 | * NiceGuy: He can look plenty creepy (picture above being a prime example) and is a bit touched in the head, but a proves himself to be a perfect decent guy. |
| 344 | * NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: He initially refuses to let Jason's friends hide on his property, but changes his mind when Daisy, who he thinks is his dead daughter Agnes, asks him to reconsider. [[spoiler:When the Rakyat come to kidnap Jason's friends, they torch Earnhardt's house and mortally wound him, even though he could hardly be considered a threat.]] |
| 345 | * OutlivingOnesOffspring: Earnhardt's baby daughter died many years ago. Overcome with grief, Earnhardt leaves London and travels around the world before settling on Rook Island. However, he never got over Agnes' death and begin to sample his own drugs to overcome this memory. He even mistaken Daisy as his daughter. |
| 346 | * ProperlyParanoid: When Jason asks Earnhardt if his friends can lay low at his place, he initially refuses and explains the huge risk that comes with providing shelter for Vaas' missing captives, which is perfectly understandable. [[spoiler:And while it isn't Vaas' pirates who attack his house and kidnap Jason's friends, he turns out to be right that sheltering them would ultimately bring trouble.]] |
| 347 | * SmartPeopleSpeakTheQueensEnglish: He's an intelligent chemist with a cultured English accent. |
| 348 | * ThoroughlyMistakenIdentity: While looking after Daisy and still a little hazy from his last round of drugs, Earnhardt actually mistakes her for his dead daughter, Agnes; it's for this reason that he agrees to let Jason's friends hide on his property. |

| 351 | [[folder:Citra]] |
| 352 | !!Citra Talugmai/Montenegro |
| 353 | ->'''Voiced By:''' Faye Kingslee (English)[[note]]'''Other Languages''':Karina Mishulina (Russian)[[/note]] |
| 354 | [[quoteright:249:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Citra_2508.png]] |
| 355 | |
| 356 | Known to the rebels as their warrior goddess, Citra is cloaked in the mystery of old ritual and superstition. Charismatic and beautiful, she yearns for power and wishes to return her tribe to its former glory. Citra doesn't like to lose and will do whatever it takes to see her wishes fulfilled. Her followers believe in her, and more importantly, she believes in herself. |
| 357 | ---- |
| 358 | * AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: InUniverse. She's universally adored and admired by the Rakyat, and even Willis and Hurk find her alluring. Vaas, however, warns Jason that his sister is a manipulative, self-serving sociopath. |
| 359 | ** This goes both ways. Jason and the locals consider Vaas a violent, irredeemable monster, and Citra agrees, but she blames his descent into madness on Hoyt's corrupting influence and drugs. She hopes to see Hoyt dead as payment for her brother's fall from grace. |
| 360 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: On the one hand, she and Vaas, who has a Spanish surname and vaguely Latin American accent, claim to be each other's siblings. On the other, they have very different complexions, and she speaks the language and with the accent of the Rakyat. Calling each other brother and sister may not be literal, or they may be blood but she engrossed herself more in the culture and customs of the island while Vaas associated with the worldly Hoyt and RuthlessModernPirates. Hurk does make an offhand remark about her being Malaysian, but then Hurk is not exactly the brightest bulb and may have been generalizing based on their location. For what it's worth, she's voiced by an Australian of Chinese-Irish parentage brought up in Malaysia. |
| 361 | * BettyAndVeronica: The Veronica who seduces Jason into accepting the wild lifestyle of Rakyat, to Liza's Betty who tries to get Jason into returning to the normal world. |
| 362 | * BigBad: |
| 363 | ** [[spoiler:Technically shares the spot with Hoyt in a BigBadEnsemble. While Citra is never openly antagonistic to Jason, she feeds his power trip and is partially the reason he sinks into SanitySlippage in fighting the pirates and privateers. Plus, the final choice of the game that determines whether it's a DownerEnding or a BittersweetEnding is entirely by her doing.]] |
| 364 | ** A figment of Citra is the main antagonist of the "Insanity" DLC for ''VideoGame/FarCry6'', constantly tormenting Vaas of his failures. She is also fought against in two encounters, once as a boss and another during the final segment of the DLC as a BossInMookClothing in later waves. |
| 365 | * BlackWidow: [[spoiler: She's obsessed with creating the "perfect warrior" to a point where she'll kill Jason after having sex with him. This only happens after Jason kills his friends, and she only kills him after ''assuming'' she's pregnant with his child.]] |
| 366 | * BloodlessCarnage: [[spoiler:When Dennis accidentally stabs her to death, her stomach wound doesn't produce any blood.]] |
| 367 | * BrotherSisterIncest: [[spoiler:It's heavily implied that Citra tried to get her brother Vaas to have sex with her in order to beget the next perfect warrior, just like she tries with Jason. On the way to kill Vaas, Jason has visions of himself and Citra doing the deed, but with Vaas in his place.]] |
| 368 | * CainAndAbel: With Vaas. [[spoiler:It initially looks like she's the Abel to Vaas' Cain, but several of Vaas' ''furious'' rants about her and her own later actions show it goes both ways.]] |
| 369 | * TheCorrupter: While Jason was getting more accustomed to the Rakyat lifestyle, he was still relatively level headed... It was not long after meeting Citra that began to change. |
| 370 | ** Some of Vaas' lines imply that, while Hoyt is responsible for his current state, Citra is the one that started him down his path of madness. |
| 371 | * DudeMagnet: She attracts the attention of Jason, Dennis and Hurk [[spoiler: and it is impled that she and Vaas were more than just brother and sister as well]]. |
| 372 | * EarlyBirdCameo: A prominently placed picture of her appears barely three minutes into the game during Jason's and Grant's escape from Vaas' compound. Depending on where the player falls on the sliding scale of main story progression versus sidequesting, many hours may pass before she's met in person for the first time. |
| 373 | * FinalBoss: [[spoiler:The last antagonist Jason must face.]] |
| 374 | * GoingNative: Like her brother Vaas, Citra is an outsider, but she ''really'' took to the Rakyat culture, to the point that she became the effective leader of the Rakyat and has a temple where she's worshipped as a warrior goddess. |
| 375 | * GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler:If the implication of pressuring Vaas resulting in him switching to Hoyt Volker's side are true, then that makes her indirectly responsible for everything that happens in the game, and later becomes it's Final Boss.]] |
| 376 | * HellbentForLeather: Wears a backless top and a miniskirt made of smooth leather. [[MsFanservice The top comes off on occasion]]. |
| 377 | * {{Hypocrite}}: She mourns her brother Vaas for being turned into a remorseless killer by Hoyt luring him with the promises of drugs and power, [[spoiler:but she has no qualms about brainwashing Jason into becoming a murderous psychopath himself. And it's heavily implied by Vaas that she was the one who started corrupting him in the first place.]] |
| 378 | * InformedAttribute: Her combat prowess. Whatever she did or is capable of that earned her her tribe's worship as their warrior goddess, it's never witnessed during gameplay. The only time she ever uses a weapon is [[spoiler:when she kills Jason directly after conceiving his child]], and that's not only not combat-related, it's also an optional scene. |
| 379 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:[[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness To Jason in the]] "Kill Liza" ending. Accidentally on the receiving end from Dennis in the "Save Friends" ending.]] |
| 380 | * InLoveWithYourCarnage: She is turned on when she narrates how a warrior from the northern kingdom beheaded the giant and really wants Jason to embrace his mass-murdering side. |
| 381 | * JigglePhysics: Her assets do have a bit more bounce than they ought to when she's strutting around Jason topless. Not that anyone's complaining. |
| 382 | * JunglePrincess: The classic Jungle Princess is a Western woman who was raised by natives, rules them, and doesn't wear very much. Citra ticks all of the boxes except for "raised by natives" - it isn't clear how she came to the Rook Islands. |
| 383 | * ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler:After Jason begins to have second thoughts of staying on the island with her, Citra begins to [[{{Gaslighting}} manipulate his feelings]] by drugging him to into thinking that his friends do not care of him and during said hallucination, he nearly kills them.]]. |
| 384 | * MsFanservice: Has two topless scenes and up to two first-person sex scenes, all the while fully averting NippleAndDimed; the rest of the time she isn't wearing a whole lot more. |
| 385 | * NeverMyFault: [[spoiler:Vaas' rambling indicates that Citra is at fault for him turning against the Rakyat. Despite the two being siblings, Citra only mentions Vaas after his death and tells Jason that Hoyt was the one who corrupted him into enlisting as a pirate by luring him with drugs and a promise of power. Vaas, on the other hand, tells Jason that Citra drove him to his breaking point as a Rakyat warrior and forced him to seek freedom and solace with Hoyt as a pirate.]] |
| 386 | * PlayingTheVictimCard: [[spoiler:Citra's method of manipulating Jason is to portray herself as the victim so Jason would be sympathetic to her and follow her orders without question. Citra only mentions her brother, Vaas, after Jason has succeeded in killing him and convinces him to go after Hoyt when she tells him that Hoyt lured Vaas away with drugs and other false promises. In one of their encounters, Vaas tried to tell Jason his interpretation of the events; Citra drove him to his breaking point as a warrior by emotionally blackmailing him into subservience.]] |
| 387 | * PleaseDontLeaveMe: [[spoiler:Her last words if you choose to save your friends and Dennis accidentally kills her, mostly word for word.]] |
| 388 | * ProudWarriorRaceGirl: To the point where she [[spoiler:kidnaps Jason's girlfriend, surviving brother, and the rest of his friends, [[SadisticChoice and forces him to murder them all to cut his ties to his old life.]] [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder And then murdering Jason if he goes through with killing them,]] and subsequently has sex with her, [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness believing she's been impregnated with "The Perfect Warrior", who she wishes to lead the people of Rakyat]].]] |
| 389 | * ARealManIsAKiller: Her philosophy. |
| 390 | * RebelLeader: To the Rakyat. |
| 391 | * TheSocialDarwinist: [[spoiler:In a sense, as she [[BrotherSisterIncest wanted the love of her own brother]] [[AllAmazonsWantHercules because she thought he was the only warrior strong enough for her]], and only wanted Jason [[OneManArmy after he wiped out Vaas' Pirates and Volker's Mercenaries]]. The reason? [[UnholyMatrimony After having sex with Jason,]] ([[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice and subsequently stabbing him]] [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness after realizing she's pregnant]]), she claimed it was all to give birth to the "Perfect Warrior", [[MessianicArchetype who would command the destiny of the Rook Islands and the Rakyat]]. A ProudWarriorRaceGirl, indeed.]] |
| 392 | * StalkerWithATestTube: [[spoiler:[[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice She guts Jason]] [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness upon realizing she's pregnant with his child]], but reassures him that their child would command the destiny of the Rakyat as the [[TheSocialDarwinist "The Perfect Warrior"]], and even whispers [[AWinnerIsYou "You won."]] [[FadeToBlack right before the screen blacks out]]. [[DissonantSerenity And from her tone of voice, she truly believes her own words and that Jason would be glad to take them into death.]]]] |
| 393 | * TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler:Well, more like [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice Taking The Knife]], but in the "Save Friends" ending, she leaps between Jason and [[NumberTwo Dennis]] before the latter could stab the former, [[HeroicSacrifice impaling herself in the process]].]] |
| 394 | * {{Troll}}: When she first meets Jason, and he snarks at her, her reply is to comment on the tatau on his arm, then threatens to cut it off his skin and give it back to him. When Jason winces, she dryly comments, "I thought you liked jokes?" [[spoiler:That should have been Jason's first clue that she's ultimately not as friendly as she appears to be.]] |
| 395 | * UnreliableExpositor: She maintains the mystical outlook of the Rook Island and believes that Vaas ran away to join the pirates because Hoyt lured him away with drugs and other promises. [[spoiler: While Hoyt did have the means to tempt Vaas so he'd stay as a pirate, Citra was the one who drove him away in the first place. Tellingly, Citra never mentions Vaas until Jason kills him.]] |
| 396 | * TheVamp: [[spoiler:As shown by the "Kill Liza" ending, she "loves" Jason's warrior side, and kills him as soon as she thinks she is pregnant with the "ultimate warrior", not only that, but, she clearly isn't above using Jason and Dennis' clear attraction to her to get her way.]] |
| 397 | * WhatBeautifulEyes: Has big, very striking eyes of a light grey that forms a stark contrast to her dark skin and black hair. |
| 398 | * {{Yandere}}: |
| 399 | ** [[spoiler:She is ''very'' possessive of Jason. In the 'Save Friends' ending, she goes ballistic once Jason starts cutting his friends loose. In spite all of that, however, [[TakingTheBullet she throws herself upon Dennis's knife]] [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere if Jason rejects her]], even though she, of all people, logically would've taken his decision the worst. Whatever else one can say, Citra cares about Jason. In her own way.]] |
| 400 | ** In the ''Far Cry 6'' "Insanity" DLC, she also acts this way towards Vaas, even at one point [[spoiler: stabbing him in the chest for being "out of control" when catching him mid-coitus with a random local woman.]] |
| 401 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:Though she does it more out of "[[ARealManIsAKiller love]]" than out of callousness, she'll still kill Jason after he has sex with her in the "Kill Liza" ending, stating that now that she's pregnant with his child, she can raise him to be "The Perfect Warrior" to lead her people. She even tells Jason that he "won" while he dies.]] |

| 404 | [[folder:Dennis]] |
| 405 | !!Dennis Rogers |
| 406 | ->'''Voiced By:''' Charles Malik Whitfield (English)[[note]]'''Other Languages''':Ivan Litvinov (Russian)[[/note]] |
| 407 | [[quoteright:288:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Dennis_5522.png]] |
| 408 | |
| 409 | Born and raised in Liberia, Dennis Rogers is no stranger to war and poverty. He eventually left his home and immigrated to America. Ten years later, he left, disillusioned due to the constant alienation he felt there. After drifting from job to job he found his way to Rook Island and met Citra. He embraced her cause and proved himself as a dedicated warrior. |
| 410 | ---- |
| 411 | * AccidentalMurder: [[spoiler: Should Jason reject Citra's love and chooses to go home, an enraged Dennis tries to stab him, only for Citra to get in the way of his blade.]] |
| 412 | * AlwaysSecondBest: Dennis is an excellent leader, a great warrior, and a respected believer in the Rakyat philosophy. None of that matters when Jason comes to town. |
| 413 | * ArtisticLicenseGunSafety: He uses handguns like other people use their index finger to point at various things, like the person he's talking to for instance, or [[TooDumbToLive his own head]]. |
| 414 | * BaritoneOfStrength: He has a deep, mature voice, and he's a strong African warrior of the Rakyat tribe. |
| 415 | * BerserkButton: [[spoiler:Rejecting Citra. It may be fuelled just a little by jealousy.]] |
| 416 | * BloodKnight: It comes with being a Rakyat. |
| 417 | * BlueBlood: He reveals in his drunken rant that he hails from Liberia's upper class, which made the disrespectful treatment he suffered in the US worse enough for him to eventually leave and end up on the Rook Islands. |
| 418 | * TheChosenWannabe: [[spoiler: He was Citra's second-in-command because he wanted to impress Citra by becoming the "perfect warrior" but he was usurped by Jason. Ironically, if he was the "perfect warrior" then Citra would have killed him after siring an heir.]] |
| 419 | * DrowningMySorrows: Dennis is in love with Citra but it is clear that she doesn't return his feelings. Before Jason heads to the second island, Dennis can be seen getting drunk while rambling of his past, clearly jealous over the fact that Citra chooses Jason over him. |
| 420 | * GoingNative: Like Jason, Dennis was once a directionless outsider (born in Liberia, moved to America at 18, left America 10 years later) who somehow found his way to the Rook Islands and became part of the Rakyat. |
| 421 | * GoodScarsEvilScars: He has a massive scar crossing his left brow, and we eventually learn that he, [[spoiler:like the rest of the Rakyat]], is not as friendly as he appears. |
| 422 | * {{Irony}}: [[spoiler: He fell head over heels in love with Citra and grows to resent Jason for becoming Citra's favourite. If Citra reciprocated his feelings, she would have killed Dennis after conceiving "the perfect warrior" with him.]] |
| 423 | * InVinoVeritas: He gets very, very drunk indeed after Jason's full initiation into the Rakyat and rambles a bit about his past. |
| 424 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: He makes it clear when you first meet him that he's completely in love with Citra, but doesn't show any animosity towards Jason when he becomes Citra's consort (although he does get himself drunk shortly afterwards). In fact, he becomes enraged if Jason turns down Citra's advances. |
| 425 | * KillMeNowOrForeverStayYourHand: His response to Jason reaching for a knife when he wakes up to find Dennis tattooing him. He aims his machete towards Jason's face and tells him "You have the right to take my life. But know, I will also take yours." He then spins the machete around so the handle is facing Jason instead of the blade, as proof that Dennis is trustworthy. Technically subverted [[spoiler:if Jason rejects Citra, in which case an enraged Dennis tries to kill him. We don't know whether Jason would have killed him in self-defense, because Citra shields him at the cost of her life.]] |
| 426 | * KillTheOnesYouLove: [[spoiler:If Jason rejects the Rakyat in the "Save your Friends" ending, Dennis accidentally stabs Citra to death trying to kill Jason.]] |
| 427 | * LadyKillerInLove: Prior to joining the Rakyat he was a womanizer and even commented to Jason that he'd have any woman on the island if he wanted but his heart is set on Citra. [[spoiler: He grows increasingly jealous about Jason's interactions with Citra and even attacks him in the "Save your Friends" ending because Jason refuses to follow Citra's command to kill his brother and friends. This leads to Dennis accidentally killing Citra when she stands in front of Jason, which causes Dennis to be overwhelmed with guilt for killing her. According to the writer, Jeffrey Yohalem, when asked about Dennis' fate after the "Save Your Friends" ending; "Dennis is a hardcore gamer, he'll find another game."]] |
| 428 | * MacheteMayhem: When Jason tries reaching for a knife upon waking up to find Dennis tattooing him, Dennis points at him with a machete and warns him "[[KillMeNowOrForeverStayYourHand You have the right to take my life]], [[BadassBoast but know]] [[TakingYouWithMe I will also take yours]]." |
| 429 | * MagicalNegro: [[spoiler:He's the one who saves Jason at the beginning of the game and tells him what he needs to do in order to survive on the Island and to save his friends. Given that he's also an outsider that became a Tattooed Warrior, it's a wonder why he didn't try to save the inhabitants from the Pirates himself.]] |
| 430 | ** The trope is {{Deconstructed}} as it seems fairly obvious that Dennis was NumberTwo to Citra before Jason. By helping Jason, he's unwittingly put himself out of a job. And his advice is not doing wonders for Jason's sanity. |
| 431 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:If he kills Citra.]] |
| 432 | * NiceGuy: Played with. He's very friendly to Jason and seems all too eager to set him up as a pirate-killing machine, which is a bit unsettling, but at least he wants to help Jason save his friends. [[spoiler: However, this curdles near the end of the game; when Jason says that he's found Riley, Dennis tells him to forget about his little brother and cut off all ties to his past life. And in the ending, he's perfectly willing to let Jason kill his innocent friends and brother, and if Jason refuses, he's furious at him for rejecting Citra and tries to stab him.]] |
| 433 | * NumberTwo: Implied to have been this to Citra until Jason came along. |
| 434 | * PleaseDontLeaveMe: [[spoiler:Begs for this regarding Citra's corpse if he kills her, while invoking PleaseWakeUp.]] |
| 435 | * ScaryBlackMan: He's not as scary as, say, [[AmoralAfrikaner Hoyt]] or [[RuthlessModernPirates Vaas]] or [[DepravedHomosexual Buck]], and he's not a tall, muscular powerhouse, but he's still one of the Rakyat, and [[spoiler:he gets murderously enraged if Jason decides to reject Citra in favour of releasing his friends.]] Also, you're first introduced to Dennis when Jason wakes up to find him tattooing his arm, and holding a machete to his face if he tries reaching for his knife. |
| 436 | * SinkOrSwimMentor: More or less. He tattoos Jason in his sleep, hands him a gun, and tells him to go kill pirates. |
| 437 | * SpecsOfAwesome: Wears glasses and can more than hold his own in a fight. |
| 438 | * SubordinateExcuse: From his lines, his admiration of Citra goes way beyond loyalty. She's obviously not interested. |
| 439 | * WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler:Delivers one to Jason if he rejects Citra's love and refuses to kill Liza before trying to kill him.]] |

| 443 | !!Hurk Drubman Jr |
| 444 | ->'''Voiced By:''' Dylan Taylor (English)[[note]]'''Other Languages''':Ilya Khvostikov (Russian)[[/note]] |
| 445 | |
| 446 | A character exclusive to "Monkey Business" DLC, Hurk is an American living on Rook Island trying to make a name for himself by joining the Rakyat. |
| 447 | |
| 448 | ---- |
| 449 | * AmazonChaser: Hurk seems to have a thing for strong women as he refers to Citra as a MILF (Malaysian I'd Like To Fuck). |
| 450 | * AscendedExtra: He initially appears only in a DLC but becomes a recurring character in later installments. |
| 451 | * CallToAdventure: Hurk is an American who goes to wherever in the world there is a civil war is in turmoil. He is eventually call back to his hometown at Hope County, Montana. |
| 452 | * CanonWelding: Along with Willis, Hurk is the only thing connecting ''Far Cry 3'' to its sequels. |
| 453 | * CloudCuckoolander: Let's just say Hurk is not the brightest bulb in the box |
| 454 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Hurk may be a ManChild but not only he is good with a gun, he is capable of blowing stuff up, not to mention having survived multiple conflicts around the world. |
| 455 | * CuddleBug: He certainly seems eager to hug Jason whenever he gets the chance. As he says "you can never have too many hugs, man." |
| 456 | * DeepSouth: Hurk is portrayed as a stereotypical red neck with an accent that goes with it. |
| 457 | * HalfWittedHillbilly: He's basically a cheerful redneck, but none too intelligent. |
| 458 | * InsaneTrollLogic: Hurk tries to explain that he got the idea of using monkey suicide bombers from Russians who used dogs in World War II and the US Navy who used dolphins. He also notes the fact that the Russian dog bombers backfired due to being trained to run underneath their own tanks. |
| 459 | * HeroicWannabe: He helps Jason in his journey so that he could be inducted into the Rakyat as well. |
| 460 | * ManChild: The best way to describe Hurk is that he is a frat boy on a round the world trip carrying guns and explosives with him. |
| 461 | * MeaningfulName: Averted. His name is not short for "Hercules", because his parents were pacifists. |
| 462 | * MotorMouth: The guy can't shut up whenever he starts to talk. |
| 463 | * StepfordSmiler: Hurk is rarely seen without a smile on his face. |
| 464 | * UnknownRival: His wish to have sex with Citra makes him one for both Jason and Dennis, though since we never see him interact with Citra or Dennis, he doesn't seem to be a serious contender. [[FridgeHorror Still, makes you dread his reaction if he finds out that]] [[spoiler:either Citra killed Jason or Dennis killed Citra, depending on which ending you pick]]. |
| 465 | * WeaponizedAnimal: He straps C4 onto his pet monkeys, turning them into bombers. |
| 466 | * WhatTheHellHero: Jason is not fond of Hurk using monkeys as suicide bombers. |

| 474 | [[quoteright:279:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Buck_2892.png]] |
| 475 | |
| 476 | An ex-Australian military man, Buck is a sadistic murderer and slaver who is seeking an ancient Chinese knife. After being kicked out of the Australian military for brutality, Buck made his way to Rook Island, where he made his name as a gun-for-hire. |
| 477 | ---- |
| 478 | * AllAmazonsWantHercules: A rare male example; Buck is a sociopathic soldier and is shown to be attracted to aggressive men. He chose Keith because of his combative nature and eventually gains an interest in Jason after putting him through multiple deathtraps for the artifact. |
| 479 | * TheAlcoholic: He's buying a whole bottle for himself at the bar in Badtown when Jason first meets him. |
| 480 | * AllGaysArePromiscuous: He's a homosexual rapist and necrophiliac. |
| 481 | * ArcVillain: He is introduced and gets killed in the missions involving rescuing Keith from him. |
| 482 | * AndYourLittleDogToo: Buck bought Keith as a sex slave and uses him as leverage for Jason's services, if Jason doesn't do what he says then Buck will punish Keith instead. |
| 483 | * AnimalMotif: Deer, as shown by his design, name, and lustful behavior. |
| 484 | * AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:After raping and threatening Keith, and trying to kill Jason, it comes as a relief when Mr. Brody stabs him where he stands.]] |
| 485 | * AwesomeAussie: And former military. That said, there's nothing "awesome" about his personality, as you've no doubt guessed. |
| 486 | * AxCrazy: He's a brutal {{sadist}} who enjoys torture, rape and murder. That said, [[MaskOfSanity he's much more restrained about it than Vaas or Hoyt]]. |
| 487 | * BeardOfEvil: He has a short one and the evil part is unquestionable. |
| 488 | * BerserkButton: He hates it when Jason regards the ancient Chinese dagger as a knife, when Jason does this the first time he angrily regards it as art and that it has more history than Jason and Keith. He also loses his playful demeanor when Jason tries to assert himself and becomes threatening. |
| 489 | * BladeEnthusiast: The only weapon he is ever seen using is a combat knife, and his interactions with Jason are centered around an obsession with an ancient Chinese dagger, which Buck considers a work of beautiful art. |
| 490 | * BloodKnight: The main reason to why Buck was expelled from the military, he indulged in his sadism and was fixated on brutality. |
| 491 | * TheBogan: Buck is a foul-mouthed, violent Australian who spends most of his time loitering on the island drinking beer and playing with his knives. That said, he appears to be pretty cultured and an avid historian as he has shown his research on the dagger. |
| 492 | * BondageIsBad: An extremely subtle example is the cock ring around Buck's neck, as gay men used to wear chrome cock rings around their necks as a statement of their sexuality as well as a fashion accessory. Then there's the BDSM dungeon in Buck's home that he's been using to rape Keith repeatedly. |
| 493 | * BringingInTheExpert: Buck is Hoyt's personal hitman but Jason only found him to rescue Keith. |
| 494 | * CantKillYouStillNeedYou: He presumably saves Jason from drowning so he can recover the dagger for him. |
| 495 | * TheChessMaster: It's indicated that Buck is playing Jason and the pirates against each other so he can take the dagger for himself without risking his life or doing any of the dirty work. |
| 496 | * CoDragons: Along with Vaas, he is one of Hoyt's main subordinates. |
| 497 | * ColdHam: He's nowhere near as shouty as Vaas or Hoyt, but he's always going off on extensive, profanity-laden monologues about the history of that Chinese knife in a pronounced Australian accent. And Buck's FauxAffablyEvil demeanor is pretty theatrical. |
| 498 | * CriminalMindGames: It's suggested that Buck already knows the location of the knife but lacks the means to access it himself. He chooses to manipulate Jason and the Pirates so he can take the knife for himself and lets Jason believe that he had somehow put a tracking device on him. |
| 499 | * DeadpanSnarker: Usually spouts dry wit and snide commentary to Jason. |

| 501 | '''Buck''': Ha ha, I know! Well, you ''are'' leaving a trail of human breadcrumbs, mate! Helen fucking Keller could keep up with you. |
| 502 | * DeathByIrony: [[spoiler:That Chinese knife he sent Jason after? Jason sticks it into his heart in order to get his friend Keith out of Buck's sex dungeon.]] |
| 503 | * DepravedHomosexual: He even makes a joke about Keith screaming in terror about the [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil things he's been doing to him]]. |
| 504 | * DiabolusExNihilo: Unlike Vaas and Hoyt, who have some history of being abused, (Hoyt corrupted Vaas with drugs and other vices whereas Hoyt was said to be abused by his father). Buck hides under no such pretenses and kills others for no other reason than because he enjoys it. |
| 505 | * DownfallBySex: [[spoiler:After getting the dagger from Jason, Buck tries to betray Jason and keep him as another sex slave. This causes Jason to finally snap and he kills Buck with primal rage.]] |
| 506 | * DragonWithAnAgenda: Despite working for Hoyt (and by extension, affiliated with Vaas), He wants that knife [[spoiler: and Jason]] bad and he's willing to send Jason to kill pirates (that he's probably affiliated with) for him to get both. |
| 507 | * EarlyBirdCameo: He briefly appears in one of Jason's drug visions long before he's actually encountered in person, or even mentioned by anyone. |
| 508 | * EatingTheEyeCandy: Even from the very first encounter with Buck, paying attention to his eyes makes it clear he's checking Jason out. |
| 509 | * EmbarrassingFirstName: Bambi, which is probably why everyone calls him Buck. Doubles as FluffyTheTerrible considering. |
| 510 | * EvilCounterpart: |
| 511 | ** Buck serves as one for Jason; both are outsiders to the Rook Islands who became sadistic, psychotic murderers on the island. The key difference is that Buck was psychopath before his career took him to the island and he obviously revels in what he does, whereas Jason came to island through circumstance and was forced to adapt in order to escape and save his friends. However, as the story progresses, Jason starts to enjoy killing and starts losing his humanity along the way. |
| 512 | ** [[spoiler: In the third act of the game, Buck becomes Jason's parallel since Jason starts to kill out of vengeance and pleasure after killing Vaas, while still hiding under the pretence of saving Riley. Buck's last words "This is some fucked up foreplay, eh?" perfectly describes Jason's sexual relationship with Citra since he slept with her after killing her brother and can have sex with her again after choosing to kill his friends.]] |
| 513 | ** [[spoiler: If you interact with Daisy after rescuing Keith, their conversation mirrors Jason's first encounter with Buck. Jason shows the same arrogant behavior when spoken to about the knife and disturbingly holds the knife to a similar sentiment as Buck.]] |
| 514 | --->'''Daisy''': What's that? |
| 515 | --->'''Jason''': Oh, this? This is from the tomb of a Chinese warrior. |
| 516 | --->'''Daisy''': Well if I were you I'd get rid of it. |
| 517 | --->'''Jason''': ''(aggressively)'' Why? This knife is going to save us. |
| 518 | --->'''Daisy''': Don't let the pretty design fool you. Knives take people away, they don't bring 'em back. |
| 519 | * EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: When Jason reminds him that Hoyt sold Keith to him, Buck remarks, "Oh! Him! He said his name was (imitates Keith screaming through a gag)" He then doubles over laughing. [[spoiler:It becomes [[DudeNotFunny a lot less funny]] when you find out what he's doing to Keith.]] |
| 520 | * EvilSoundsDeep: Buck speaks with a low, cheerful, manly Australian accent, which makes his horrific antics even more disturbing. |
| 521 | * ExactWords: [[spoiler: When Jason retrieves the knife and tries to leave with Keith per their deal, Buck blocks the exit and explains that he had promised that Keith could leave ''with'' Jason, but he had no intention of letting Jason leave in the first place.]] |
| 522 | * FauxAffablyEvil: Sometimes friendly, sometimes vicious, sometimes vicious with an oily veneer of friendliness. He especially exhibits a fondness for toying with Jason's emotions - enraging him, chastising him for being impolite when his temper snaps, describing how Keith will suffer as punishment for Jason's impudence, then telling Jason to cheer up or simmer down as though they're friends. Unlike Vaas, he almost never loses his cheerful, affable demeanour, even when he's threatening to do horrible things to Keith. |
| 523 | * ForTheEvulz: The only real explanation for all of his actions. Unlike Vaas and Hoyt, he has no tragic event or FreudianExcuse in his past. Simply put, he always has been a sadistic psychopath. |
| 524 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: |
| 525 | ** [[spoiler:When Jason first hears about Buck, he makes a joke "[[ShoutOut His name is Buck]] [[Film/KillBill and he likes to...]]" After going through the sacred knife trials to save Keith, you can guess what Buck has been [[RapeAsDrama doing with him the whole time]], because he tries to do the same to Jason.]] |
| 526 | ** [[spoiler: "This is some fucked up foreplay, eh?" Guess what you do before sleeping with Citra.]] |
| 527 | ** An easy to miss example comes from his necklace, a chrome ring. In the 90s gay men used to wear chrome cock rings around their necks as a statement of their sexuality and as a fashion accessory. It's an extremely subtle and disturbing example of ''why'' he bought Keith in the first place and what horrors Keith is enduring during Jason's missions. |
| 528 | * FromCamouflageToCriminal: He's an ex-soldier turned hitman. |
| 529 | * {{Gayngster}}: An Australian mercenary who works for the leader of a slaver syndicate, and enjoys raping tough men. |
| 530 | * GenderBlenderName: His real name is Bambi, a feminine Italian name. |
| 531 | * HateSink: A slimy dirtbag and implied rapist who takes satisfaction in being the dominant one, Jason wastes no time hating his guts. And unlike Vaas, he doesn't have a tragic backstory or at least a FreudianExcuse like Hoyt. He's just an utter asshole. |
| 532 | * HawaiianShirtedTourist: Buck usually wears an unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt with a palm tree design. |
| 533 | * IHaveYouNowMyPretty: Gender-inverted. Buck has one of Jason's friends and is unsubtle about what he's been doing to him. |
| 534 | * TheHedonist: He is often found lazing about or drinking, his chief concern is locating a relic he desires as an art piece and his primary pastime appears to be keeping and abusing sex slaves. |
| 535 | * IAmAHumanitarian: [[spoiler:An alternate interpretation of his ILoveTheDead quote. Still makes him a depraved scumbag]]. |
| 536 | * {{Hypocrite}}: When Jason fails to find his knife again, Buck furiously accuses him of being "too bloody lazy...to get it for me", which is rich, since he doesn't lift a finger to track down that knife himself. |
| 537 | * IcyBlueEyes: Buck's blue eyes are not sincerely friendly. |
| 538 | * ILoveTheDead: [[spoiler: "I'll take you bloody if you like. I like my meat rare".]] |
| 539 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:[[KarmicDeath With the very knife he had Jason fetch for him.]]]] |
| 540 | * InformedAbility: [[spoiler:He is stated to be a skilled and feared hitman but the fight against him is a CurbStompBattle in Jason's favor]]. |
| 541 | * InLoveWithYourCarnage: Buck implies that he's observing Jason's activities and it's suggested that he's using both the pirates and Jason to get the dagger for himself. After enduring several traps, Buck tries to sexually harass Jason but Jason momentarily stands up to him and pushes him away. |
| 542 | * InterplayOfSexAndViolence: He's a psychopathic pervert and currently provides the trope quote. |
| 543 | -->'''Buck''': This is some fucked up foreplay, eh? |
| 544 | * IntimateOpenShirt: Not played for fanservice. It amplifies his perversion and sex crimes. |
| 545 | * IWillPunishYourFriendForYourFailure: He frequently uses Keith's abuse as a motivator for Jason. If Jason talks back to him or tries to threaten him, then Keith is punished. |
| 546 | * KnightOfCerebus: Buck's appearance in the game is the catalyst that turns Jason into a ruthless killer. [[spoiler: His sex crimes are played completely seriously and Buck has complete control over Jason, threatening to kill Keith if Jason doesn't comply with his demands. Once Jason retrieves the knife and reunites with Keith, Buck betrays him and tries to make Jason his new sex slave, forcing Jason to fight for his life and execute Buck with the ancient Chinese dagger. Afterwards, he takes the same level of perverted interest in the Ancient Chinese Dagger as Buck did. Jason becomes so mentally broken after his encounter with him that Jason is easily corrupted by Citra and it turns Jason's rescue operation into a revenge quest as he vows to kill Vaas and Hoyt for killing Grant and Riley.]] |
| 547 | * KnightTemplar: In one of the trailers focusing on him and Vaas, Buck tells Jason that he and the Privateers are the "shepherds" in charge of keeping the "savages" of the Rook Islands in line. |
| 548 | * LaughablyEvil: He has some of the most humorous dialogue in the game, though it doesn't detract from the fact he's a psychopathic rapist. |
| 549 | * LazyBum: When you first meet Buck in person, he's knocking back drinks at a bar in Bad Town. He sends you on a series of suicide missions in search of ''his'' treasure, lounging at the sites when you arrive but refusing to enter any ruins himself. He often excuses himself to go... visit Keith. |
| 550 | * LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Buck speaks condescendingly towards Jason, treating Jason as if he's a boy trying to prove himself a man. Buck regularly taunts Jason for playing games and for giving up too soon on finding the dagger. |
| 551 | -->'''Buck:''' Jason, Jason, Jason. Don't get your knickers in a twist. I'm not playing the bloody game, you are. |
| 552 | * LoneWolfBoss: He's not working for Hoyt this time; Buck bought Keith from Hoyt and is using Jason to get the Ancient Chinese Dagger for him in exchange for Keith. This is shown by how he's the only antagonist to not wear red, how he's happy to get the pirates killed in their fight against Jason, and how nobody mentions him again once Jason kills him. |
| 553 | * ManlyGay: He's a mercenary and a hitman, he's also an ex-soldier who was dismissed due to his fixation on brutality. |
| 554 | * MaskOfSanity: Buck is even better at hiding the psychopath he truly is than Hoyt. Most of the time, he's [[FauxAffablyEvil superficially cheerful and sarcastic]], if mildly rude. The only time we see this mask slip is when Buck loses his temper with Jason and snaps at him for perceived incompetence, making it clear [[IWillPunishYourFriendForYourFailure that he will do more than hurt Keith if Jason doesn't comply]]. Even when he's [[spoiler:challenging Jason to a knife fight with rape as his punishment for losing]], Buck treats it like one big game. |
| 555 | * MightMakesRight: He wants to be the dominant one and buys Keith to be his sex slave. He also seems to prefer fighters as he starts being attracted to Jason. |
| 556 | * MurderersAreRapists: He's a mercenary for hire who took Keith as his personal sex slave. He also planned to do the same to Jason. |
| 557 | * NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Buck has purchased Keith to keep as his personal sex slave and he "flirts" with Jason by calling him his "favourite pupil" while walking towards him. |
| 558 | * OffscreenTeleportation: Throughout his arc of the game, which is repeatedly lampshaded by Jason. |
| 559 | * OccamsRazor: It's suggested that Buck already knew the location of the dagger but lacked the means to access it for himself. Buck then pits Jason and The Pirates against each other so he can take the dagger from the last man standing. |
| 560 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: His real name is "Bambi Hughes'' but he's mainly called "Buck". |
| 561 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: |
| 562 | ** Buck's usual demeanor is [[FauxAffablyEvil friendly and playful]], and occasionally ornery when he senses Jason isn't paying attention or being polite. But the moment Jason loses his patience for Buck's games, Buck drops all pretence of amicability and prepares to have Keith executed as punishment for Jason's arrogance. |
| 563 | ** When Jason asks him "You know where I'm supposed to go don't you?", Buck similarly drops his showmanship by saying "No Mate. I just know where you're headed", another indication that Buck knew the location of the knife the entire time. |
| 564 | * OrnamentalWeapon: He carries a pistol in the back of his jeans that's secured by a chain. Buck ''never'' uses this against Jason due to his preference towards knives. |
| 565 | * OutsideContextVillain: Like his employer, Buck is not native to the island and he is actually from Australia. Buck has been employed by other crime lords in the past and Hoyt has employed him as his personal hitman. He's only in the story because he bought one of Jason's friends and because he's directing Jason to the ancient Chinese dagger. |
| 566 | * PantsPositiveSafety: He carries a 1911 that's secured with a chain stuffed in the back of his pants, although he's never seen using or even drawing it. |
| 567 | * PhallicWeapon: In promotional images, he's holding a knife at pelvic level. |
| 568 | * PinkIsErotic: [[spoiler: From the start, Buck is shown to be a perverted psychopath as he makes multiple sexual references, hits on Jason, and repeatedly jokes about Keith's captivity. After finally retrieving the ancient Chinese dagger for Buck, Jason meets Keith and while the game doesn't outright say what happened to him, it's evident by Keith's visible fear and reaction to physical contact that Buck bought him as a sex slave and has been raping him repeatedly. Buck's tattoo contains pink roses, his sex dungeon has pink lighting, and Buck is fought under pink lighting, symbolising a [[SexIsViolence sexual awakening in Jason]] as he becomes [[BreakTheBadass more violent and aggressive]] against the pirates and reflecting his eroding sanity on the Rook Islands.]] |
| 569 | * ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: He's supposed to be Hoyt's hitman and enforcer, but all we see of him in-game is a laid-back drunk obsessively seeking a long-lost artifact for his personal collection. |
| 570 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He uses the word "Japs" when describing the history of that Chinese knife he's after, so it's possible he doesn't like the Japanese. Also, in one of the trailers, Buck states that he and Hoyt's fellow Privateers are "the shepherds" in charge of maintaining control over the "savages" of the Rook Islands. |
| 571 | * PostRapeTaunt: He taunts Jason by talking about what he's been doing to Keith. |
| 572 | -->'''Buck''': Personally, I'm worried that your heart's not in it anymore. But, Jas, don't worry. Look at Keith. Keith... Keith just cries all the time, now. Actually, he's become a bit of a drag. |
| 573 | * ProfessionalKiller: An ex-soldier turned gun-for-hire. |
| 574 | * PsychoForHire: An AxCrazy maniac who worked for other warlords as an assassin and gun-for-hire but enlisted under Hoyt's banner as his personal hitman. |
| 575 | * RapeDiscretionShot: We never actually see Buck's actions. There's enough evidence to paint a picture due to Keith's fear of being touched, bloody handprints on his shirt and Buck's comments. |
| 576 | * RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Strongly implied to have been molesting Keith while keeping him prisoner. This implication makes him an acceptable target for the first person Jason actively and seriously contemplates killing in cold blood over an extended period. |
| 577 | * RingOnANecklace: A a more creepy variation than is typical. Buck wears a chrome ring around his neck like a necklace. In the 90s gay men involved in the rave scene used to wear chrome cock rings around their necks as a statement of their sexuality and as a fashion accessory. What makes it creepy is that it's an extremely subtle and disturbing indicator of [[SexSlave why]] he bought [[spoiler:Keith]] as a slave in the first place and what horrors [[spoiler:Keith]] is enduring during Jason's missions. |
| 578 | * {{Sadist}}: Taken to disturbing extremes. He is a rapist and torturer, after all. |
| 579 | * SerialRapist: Buck is a sex predator who finds torture orgasmic and uses Keith as a sex slave. Willis Huntley references him in the article about Sumatran tigers. |
| 580 | --> "These powerful felines have big appetites and are arguably the most dangerous predators on the island, excepting Buck, of course, who has an entirely different kind of appetite..” |
| 581 | * SetAMookToKillAMook: Buck sends Jason to find the compass pieces and also tips off the pirates while they are also looking for the dagger. |
| 582 | * SexIsViolence: He prefers fighters as his sex slave and likely chose Keith for his aggression, as seen by the nightclub hallucination when he nearly gets into a fight with some other patrons. |
| 583 | * ShoutOut: Buck is largely based on Buck from the movie ''Film/KillBill''. Both men have similar personalities and hairstyles. When hearing about Buck for the first time, Jason quotes a line from the movie before cutting himself off. |
| 584 | -->'''Jason''': His name's Buck and he likes to f... |
| 585 | ** Also, a [[TheBogan foul-mouthed]] [[AwesomeAussie Australian]] PsychoForHire who's holding one of the hero's loved ones captive? Are we talking about Buck or [[Film/{{Commando}} Bennet]]? |
| 586 | * SirSwearsALot: Really, you'd be hard-pressed to pick who swears more, him or Vaas. |
| 587 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: [[spoiler: Buck's role isn't as big or as popular as Vaas or Hoyt's. But, without Buck's involvement in the plot, Jason wouldn't have found Keith and the dagger. He's also the reason why Jason's sanity breaks completely, as he's the first real threat Jason encounters.]] |
| 588 | * SmugSnake: Buck seems to think that despite Jason having fought and survived his way through all the tests and obstacles to reach the knife, [[spoiler:Buck can not only get away with betraying him but that he can do it in a fair fight rather than at any point while he's distracted beforehand. It doesn't end well for Buck.]] |
| 589 | * TheSociopath: He forces Jason to find an exotic knife for him and callously rapes and tortures his friend Keith without any guilt or remorse. And it's suggested that he doesn't have the excuse of drug addiction or abusive family like Vaas or Hoyt to blame this on- he was a monster even before he came to the Rook Islands. |
| 590 | * SociopathicSoldier: Why he was kicked out of the military. |
| 591 | * StalkerWithACrush: He starts wanting Jason as his new slave. |
| 592 | * StarterVillain: He is the first major villain in the storyline. Vaas shows up first and Hoyt is mentioned before Buck shows up, but Buck is the first one who Jason interacts with on a regular basis and the first one he kills himself. |
| 593 | * StraightGay: [[spoiler:While there are several hints beforehand, such as the way [[EatingTheEyeCandy he eyes up Jason in their first meeting]] or joking about mistaking Keith's name for gag-muffled screaming, you don't actually learn about his sexual preferences until you find out what he's done to Keith in his sex dungeon.]] The sign of his sexuality was incredibly easy to miss due to being an outdated method since the 2000s, it's the ring around his neck. In the 90s, gay men used to wear chrome cock rings around their necks as a statement of their sexuality when they attended raves. Since Buck is into bondage and attracted to men, it's clear why he would wear this. |
| 594 | * TattooAsCharacterType: He is a psychopathic pervert who has a tattoo of a stag on his upper chest. Like Buck, stags are known to be violent during mating season. |
| 595 | * TattooedCrook: He has a tattoo of a deer on his chest and he is Hoyt's personal hitman. |
| 596 | * TranquilFury: When Jason prevents Buck from making a pass at him, Buck, calmly noting that Jason is "calling the shots now", promptly uses his walky-talky to get in touch with a (possibly fictional) {{mook}} called Hector, ordering him to dismantle everything in his house and [[GuttedLikeAFish slit Keith open from stomach to chin]]. Sure enough, Jason caves, and concedes that Buck is in charge. |
| 597 | * TreacherousQuestGiver: After he sends Jason on a FetchQuest to find his Chinese knife, [[spoiler:you find out that he's keeping Keith as a SexSlave in his cellar, and he tries to add Jason to the collection]]. |
| 598 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: Buck treats Jason as a boy trying to prove himself a man and regularly taunts him about holding Keith as a sex slave. [[spoiler:This is what does him in the end, he's caught off guard when Jason goes into a frenzy and he gets stabbed in the chest with the very dagger he sent Jason to fetch for him.]] |
| 599 | * VillainBall: There really wasn't any good reason for him to follow Jason into his [[spoiler: sex dungeon, explain how he has decided to keep Jason and Keith, and then engage Jason in a knife fight. And it should be noted he had a gun in the back of his pants the entire time. If Buck still wanted to kill him with the dagger then he could have sneaked behind Jason and then stabbed him in the back while both he and Keith were distracted.]] |
| 600 | * VillainousRescue: It's heavily implied that he dragged an unconscious Jason out of the ocean after the latter inadvertently sank a ship while he was still aboard. |
| 601 | * WalkingShirtlessScene: Half. His shirt is always unbuttoned and looks a size too small. |
| 602 | * WickedCultured: Mixed with SophisticatedAsHell. He makes Jason stand there and listen as he recounts how the knife wound up on Rook, a story that involves ancient Chinese history, gets genuinely angry when Jason refers to the Chinese knife ''as'' a knife (it's a piece of fucking art, mate!), quotes Robert Frost ("I know the woods are lovely, dark, and deep... but '''get the fuck up!''' C'mon!"), and generally exhibits cunning along with all the evil. |
| 603 | [[/folder]] |
| 604 | |
| 605 | [[folder:Vaas]] |
| 606 | !!Vaas Montenegro |
| 607 | ->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/MichaelMando (English)[[note]]'''Other Languages''':Konstantin Karasik (Russian)[[/note]] |
| 608 | [[quoteright:310:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Vaas_2723.png]] |
| 609 | |
| 610 | Simply put, Vaas is downright nuts. He's also violent, unpredictable, mercurial, prideful, and extremely dangerous. Vaas started on this downward spiral when he became addicted to drugs brought to Rook Island by Hoyt Volker. He eventually joined up with the self-appointed warlord after Hoyt promised him power and wealth. Now, on an island of madness, he is the most feared madman of them all. |
| 611 | ---- |
| 612 | * AdvertisedExtra: Despite all the publicity he got in the trailers, being on the cover of the game, and being the villain Jason has the most personal enmity with, [[spoiler:ultimately, Vaas is only TheDragon to Hoyt, the true BigBad.]] |
| 613 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: Though born in an Indonesian setting, Vaas doesn't seem to have a name native to the area. In fact, both his first and last names have Spanish meanings and he tends to use Spanish terms. [[spoiler: In contrast, his sister's names are both common in Indonesia.]] |
| 614 | * AntagonistInMourning: In the live-action vids, Vaas actually seems quite upset when he finds that Christopher has died as a result of his torture, and when one of his pirates interrupts his moment of grief, he even sounds a little choked-up. Then the pirate tells him about the skydivers that have just landed on the island, whereupon Vaas immediately loses all interest in Chris and runs off to inspect his newest playthings--pausing only to bury what's left of the previous one. |
| 615 | ** Averted when he believes that he's successfully killed Jason; Vaas celebrates by massacring an entire village. |
| 616 | * ArchEnemy: To Jason. Meanwhile Vass himself probably saw Citra as this. See CainAndAbel below. |
| 617 | * AxCrazy: An absolutely frightening MoodSwinger who is very open to the idea of senseless violence, and constantly [[ColdBloodedTorture tortures]] and murders [[ForTheEvulz for fun]]. |
| 618 | * BeardOfEvil: Not a big one, but it's there. |
| 619 | * BenevolentBoss: Quite surprisingly, Vaas appears to be one of these, which is not something you would normally expect from a man as insane and homicidal as he is. Several times (in both promotional material and in-game) Vaas is shown to be on good terms with his pirates, and even jokes around with them. And while he does occasionally get angry at them, it never goes beyond yelling. |
| 620 | * BerserkButton: Citra and Rakyat tattoos are enough to make Vaas want to burn Jason alive so he no longer has to look at them. |
| 621 | * BreakoutVillain: Vaas was so popular with the creators, they released a live-action miniseries starring him and he eventually became playable in his own DLC in ''VideoGame/FarCry6''. |
| 622 | * BreakTheBadass: [[spoiler:Vaas was once part of the Rakyat but he was driven to his breaking point by the constant violence and emotional blackmail from Citra. He ran away and joined Hoyt for liberation and relief.]] |
| 623 | * BreakThemByTalking: His primary way of dealing with his enemies before he kills them or puts them up for ransom. |
| 624 | * CainAndAbel: With Citra, to the point that when Vaas realizes that Jason has been inked due to Citra's influence, he goes on a furious rant about her and decides he's going to burn Jason to death rather than just shoot him. [[spoiler:While it initially looks like he's the Cain to her Abel, events both implied and shown indicate it actually goes both ways, as Citra gaslit him to insanity by constantly forcing him to fight for her and killing anyone who looks at him with affection.]] |
| 625 | * CatchPhrase: ''"Did I ever tell you... the definition of insanity?"'' |
| 626 | * CloseRangeCombatant: In ''Far Cry 6'''s ''Insanity'' DLC, several of Vaas's upgrades involve takedowns and bonuses gained from them. Once fully upgraded, he can perform takedowns on any enemy type in-and-out of combat, and both heal himself and refill the current magazine of his weapon(s) with takedown kills. |
| 627 | * DeathSeeker: More daring people to do it than actually wishing for it, though. [[spoiler:Zig-Zagged during the final confrontation with him in the hallucination. At first, he taunts Jason about how Citra has him around her finger before grabbing the gun and shouting at him to hurry up and shoot him, which Jason does but reveals it's another hallucination. Then Jason has to fight/dash through a bunch of Vaas hallucinations to reach him again that ''can'' hurt and kill him, yet by that point Vaas is just shouting a bunch of mocking religious spiel for Jason to finish him off so he'll be "reborn."]] |
| 628 | * DelinquentHair: His mohawk lets us know what type of man he is. |
| 629 | * DoppelgangerAttack: [[spoiler:Sort of. In the lead up to his death, Jason has to kill hallucinatory Vaas copies that come at him with knives, randomly appearing, and sometimes [[ManOnFire on fire]].]] |
| 630 | * TheDragon: Before Jason can set foot on [[BigBad Hoyt's]] island, he has to take care of Vaas, which requires him to complete all of his skill training and learn to be ruthless to survive. |
| 631 | * DynamicEntry: His favorite way of greeting Jason is to pop up abruptly and commit violence upon his person. A significant number of the times Jason passes out are accompanied by Vaas's beaming face. |
| 632 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: |
| 633 | ** PlayedForLaughs- [[BlackComedy very, very dark laughs]]- when he tells off Christopher Mintz-Plasse for not flossing his teeth. [[TheToothHurts After he's pulled one of them out.]] |
| 634 | ** In the ''Far Cry 6'' "Insanity" DLC, it's shown that Vaas started an uprising against Hoyt after he and his men were hired to wipe out the natives and take their land. As Vaas pointed out to Hoyt's man after shooting him in the leg, Vaas and his pirates ''are'' the natives. |
| 635 | * EvilCounterpart: Numerous hints across the game seem to imply Vaas was in a situation much like Jason's not so long ago: that of a foreigner forced to adapt to [[HungryJungle a strange island]] and taken in by a [[BarbarianTribe warrior culture]] that sought to change his decadent ways. In his case however, he snapped under the pressure, [[ForTheEvulz struck out on his own]], and eventually joined up [[TheCorrupter with Hoyt]]. |
| 636 | * EvilIsHammy: Mr. Mando is obviously having the time of his life. |
| 637 | * ExcrementStatement: Upon finding that Christopher Mintz-Plasse is still alive after all the torture he put him through in the live-action promo videos, he cheerfully urinates all over Chris' face. |
| 638 | * TheFatalist: Vaas believes he has to be unpredictable and erratic in order to break the cycle of repetitiveness. For Vaas, he nihilistically and solipsitically believes he must act outside the norm in order to be unique and control his own life. |
| 639 | * FauxAffablyEvil: He tries sometimes to make civil conversation with his captives, but he's so quick to switch to swearing and threatening violence that he rarely comes across as sincere. |
| 640 | * FreudianExcuse: A mix of drug abuse, Hoyt's manipulation, and [[spoiler:Citra's treatment of him]] all combined to mold Vaas into the maniac he is today. |
| 641 | * GoodScarsEvilScars: He has a prominent scar running from his left eyebrow up over his forehead and into his scalp, ending roughly halfway to the back of his head. Though it doesn't seem to have affected any nerves or muscles and it's not that disfiguring, its placement does make a lot of his facial expressions that extra little bit more kooky. |
| 642 | * HeartInTheWrongPlace: It’s implied [[spoiler:this is how he survives his final fight with Jason. In a flashback, it’s shown that Citra, in a fit of rage, stabbed in the chest multiple times, but it doesn’t kill him because she "missed [his] heart."]] |
| 643 | * TheHeavy: Hoyt might be his boss but it's Vaas who is usually directly confronting Jason. |
| 644 | * HeroOfAnotherStory: |
| 645 | ** Is the main character of the ''Far Cry 6'' "Insanity" DLC. |
| 646 | ** In said DLC, it's shown that Vaas actually initially started an uprising against Hoyt, before Hoyt managed to turn him to his side (how he managed this isn't shown). Vaas even remarks that this is one of the only memories he has that he's proud of. |
| 647 | * HorrifyingTheHorror: He's surprisingly meek and deferential when interacting with Hoyt, possibly because Mr. Volker is even more AxCrazy than he is. |
| 648 | * {{Hypocrite}}: During his "definition of insanity" rant, not only does he repeat the opening phrase, but he does so while trying to kill Jason after failing to do so once before, thereby making him— by his own definition— insane. |
| 649 | * IAmAHumanitarian: Not personally, but he forces this upon some of the people in captivity for giggles. |
| 650 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Apparently, this is how Jason finishes him off in a hallucination sequence. [[spoiler:However, it wasn't until his DLC in ''VideoGame/FarCry6'' where it is revealed that he is still alive, so his encounter with Jason may have been different or [[MadeOfIron he managed to survive being repeatedly stabbed in the chest]]]]. |
| 651 | * InkSuitActor: Vaas looks identical to Michael Mando, to the point where Mando can convincingly play the character in live-action promotional videos. |
| 652 | * {{Irony}}: [[spoiler: Every time he tries to kill Jason, the latter somehow survives (from escaping a burning building to a mere lighter stopping the bullet). Vaas is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result]]. |
| 653 | * ItsPersonalWithTheDragon: Hoyt may be the leader of the pirates but it's Vaas who killed Jason's brother and is much more involved in making his life hell than Hoyt. [[ZigZaggedTrope That said]], [[spoiler:once Jason kills Vaas,]] Hoyt makes it pretty personal for Jason too, forcing him to torture Riley, [[spoiler:stabbing Sam to death right in front of him, cutting off his left ring finger and telling him that he sold Riley as a sex slave to a Yemeni friend.]] |
| 654 | * KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:After almost ten years that the character was believed dead after being supposedly killed by Jason, the "Insanity" DLC of ''VideoGame/FarCry6'' confirmed that he survived his encounter with Jason, remaining completely undefeated and without having received any kind of comeuppance for his actions.]] |
| 655 | * LaughablyEvil: Despite being a horrific {{sadist}}, he is incredibly over-the-top, [[EvilIsHammy hammy]] and bombastic. In the live actions ads, his antics are played for BlackComedy. |
| 656 | * MachoLatino: Apart from his bouts of [[PsychopathicManchild immaturity,]] he's a violent Hispanic pirate who loves asserting his dominance over his captives. |
| 657 | * MadeOfIron: The ''Far Cry 6'' "Insanity" DLC shows that, at some point in the past, he survived being stabbed multiple times in the chest by Citra for being "out of control". Not only does he not die, but the injuries are insignificant enough that a couple days later he's much more worried about his deteriorating relationship with Citra rather than any physical consequences of being stabbed.[[spoiler: The secret ending of the DLC also shows Vaas having survived being stabbed multiple times by Jason Brody.]] |
| 658 | * MadnessMantra: Vaas, who gives a speech on how insanity is repeating the same thing over and over, expecting the situation to change. The kicker? He opens and closes the speech with "Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?" [[spoiler:and even repeats the line once more [[{{Hypocrite}} when he tries to kill Jason again]]]]. |
| 659 | * MoodSwinger: It's impossible to predict what'll send him from smiling and speaking softly to shrieking expletives and threatening to set people on fire. By the same token, it's impossible to be sure what'll send him back the other way. |
| 660 | * NeverMyFault: [[spoiler: He blames everything he does on Citra, stating how she had driven him to his breaking point as a Rakyat warrior by emotionally blackmailing him into killing others.]] |
| 661 | * NotBloodSiblings: While it's never stated in the game, there are several hints that Vaas and Citra may not be actual siblings. They speak with very different accents for one, but their names are from two completely different regions. 'Vaas' is Dutch and 'Montenegro' is a European/Spanish sounding name, while 'Citra' is derived from Sanskrit, an old language that is the equivalent of Latin to the Asia and South East Asia regions (where the game is loosely based on). It is possible Citra immersed herself more into the region's culture during her time there, and thus adopted its people's mannerisms and a new name as part of her descent into insanity. |
| 662 | * ObfuscatingInsanity: The OutOfCharacterMoment in the recorded conversation with Hoyt implies at least some of Vaas' more noticeable insanity is deliberate on his part to maintain a frightening image against both his enemies and his own men. |
| 663 | * OnlySaneMan: Vaas's "definition of insanity" speech shows that Vaas view himself as the sanest man on the Rook islands because he's erratic and spontaneous in comparison to everyone else since they are doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results. In reality, he's a ruthless pirate who does whatever he wants because he enjoys it. |
| 664 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When Willis plays an audio recording of Vaas speaking with Hoyt, the volatile pirate actually sounds ''deferential''. He comes across as genuinely subdued and serious for the only time in the game, which shows just how much he respects or ''fears'' Hoyt. |
| 665 | * PopCulturedBadass: Like Jason, Vaas often quotes movies, although his timing and choice of reference runs more toward surreal than snarky. |
| 666 | * PracticallyJoker: His MoodSwinger AxCrazy nature ForTheEvulz combined with his personal desire to break Jason and his StrawNihilist traits paint him as the equivalent of Creator/HeathLedger's [[Film/TheDarkKnight Joker]]. |
| 667 | * PromotedToPlayable: Vaas is playable in the ''VideoGame/FarCry6'' DLC "Insanity". In said DLC, Vaas is trapped within his own subconscious and must find a way to escape, all while a figment of Citra torments him of his failures. |
| 668 | * PsychopathicManchild: He takes a gleeful interest and approach to killing and torture, treating his victims like toys he owns. A lot of his screaming, swearing, and mood-swinging makes him come across as immature, too. It's possible that this was due to Hoyt corrupting him with drugs and offers of power from a young age, [[spoiler:or due to Citra coercing him into killing people as a Rakyat.]] |
| 669 | -->'''Vaas:''' Well, I hope your mama and papa really, really love you, 'cause you two white boys look expensive! And that's good, because I like expensive things... |
| 670 | * PuzzleBoss: [[spoiler:The quickest way to end the final boss fight with him is to just run past the clones. Vaas himself doesn't actually "fight" the player.]] |
| 671 | * PyrrhicVictory: Vaas claims that he and Jason are "fucked" no matter who wins. This is likely a commentary on the monsters that both of them have become. No matter which one of them dies, the other will have to live with the horrors of what he's seen and done. Jason actually acknowledges this in the ending. |
| 672 | * RankScalesWithAsskicking: He is [[TheHeavy the second-in-command]] of [[TheSyndicate Hoyt's organization]] and is an incredibly badass pirate. |
| 673 | * RedIsViolent: Vaas wears a red vest, and he's a brutal psychopath. |
| 674 | * {{Ruthless Modern Pirate|s}}: Very much so. Within seconds of being introduced to the player, he's swearing, shouting, and threatening to cut Grant Brody open for mouthing off to him behind his gag. |
| 675 | * {{Sadist}}: His favorite hobby is torturing to death any unfortunate man who crosses his path. |
| 676 | * ScarsAreForever: Vaas has a scar of unknown origin along his left temple. His DLC in ''VideoGame/FarCry6'' reveals that Vaas at one point tried to [[BungledSuicide shoot himself because of Citra only for the bullet to graze the side of his head instead]]. |
| 677 | * SirSwearsALot: His dialogue in the entire intro sequence alone is peppered with many utterances of "fuck". |
| 678 | * SleevesAreForWimps: Helps with his PsychoForHire image. |
| 679 | * SoftSpokenSadist: He has a very quiet, unassuming voice. That's until [[MoodSwinger he gets mad]]... |
| 680 | * SophisticatedAsHell: He tends to pepper his philosophical monologues with profanity. |
| 681 | * StartOfDarkness: |
| 682 | ** Hoyt's corruption, by way of money and drugs. |
| 683 | ** Early on, when he first mentions Citra, Vaas talks about her forcing him to choose between "them or me! ME or THEM!". At first it seems like more of his insane ranting, but by the end of the game it strongly suggests that [[spoiler: Citra forced him to make the same "kill your old friends to cut ties with your former life" decision that she puts upon Jason at the end.]] |
| 684 | ** Downplayed in the ''Far Cry 6'' "Insanity" DLC and prequel comic. Both seem to show that Vaas was using drugs and engaging in piracy long before he ever met Hoyt, but Citra manipulated him into executing several people (who they were isn't shown, as Vaas sees them all as Jason Brody) which didn't help his sanity any. Vaas is also initially shown trying to protect the Rook Islands from Hoyt, before Hoyt somehow managed to turn him to his side. |
| 685 | * StrawNihilist: His "Definition Of Insanity" speech gives him shades of this. Contrary to everyone else he sees doing "the exact same fucking thing over and over again" hoping [[HardWorkHardlyWorks this would affect change]], Vaas has since decided to simply [[ForTheEvulz do and take whatever he wants, whenever he wants]], as this sets him apart from everyone else and makes him, by his own definition, [[MightMakesRight not insane]]. |
| 686 | * SuddenlyShouting: Whenever he [[MoodSwinger gets riled]]. Which is... [[HairTriggerTemper a lot]]. |
| 687 | * TragicVillain: The real reason why he is an [[AxCrazy homicidal maniac]] is because [[BigBad Hoyt]] manipulated him with drugs, turning him BrainwashedAndCrazy. [[spoiler:It's also heavily implied ''something'' went down with his sister Citra that put him in that position to be manipulated to begin with, which likely involved the death of whatever old friends that still connected him to his old life.]] All signs point to him being no different from Jason at one point, just an otherwise-normal guy who ended up way over his head, had to kill or be killed, and finally snapped under the pressure. |
| 688 | * {{Troll}}: After Hoyt calls him away from Jason and Grant's cage, he makes like he's going to stab this other pirate, then laughs at said pirate and says "Gets you every fucking time, man." |
| 689 | * TermsOfEndangerment: Persistently refers to Jason as ''hermano'' - "brother". Knowing his feelings for his actual sibling, the term becomes even more ominous. |
| 690 | * UnreliableExpositor: As one of the villains of the game, Jason has no reason to trust Vaas or any of his words. Interestingly, out of him and Citra, Vaas is the most honest of the pair. [[spoiler: Combing Vaas' rants about Citra and the theme of duality between Vaas and Jason, the story appears to be that Vaas was the original "perfect warrior" until he finally broke from stress and from the constant emotional blackmail from Citra. Looking for freedom from the lifestyle of the perfect warrior, Vaas joined Hoyt and developed his "Meaning of Insanity" philosophy so he could be unique and take control of his life for once.]] |
| 691 | * VillainHasAPoint: [[spoiler: Even though it's motivated by his grudge towards Citra, he is right that she's not to be trusted and that she's playing with Jason's emotions so he'd do what she wants. The relationship between Jason and Citra is one-sided, and the only time she ever mentions Vaas is in a sob story to [[PlayingTheVictimCard make Jason fight Hoyt's empire for her]].]] |
| 692 | * WickedCultured: Though not to the same degree as Buck and Hoyt. Vaas' "Definition of Insanity" quote is one attributed to Creator/BenjaminFranklin (though the exact origin is a bit fuzzy; it's also associated with UsefulNotes/AlbertEinstein, author Rita Mae Browne and a Chinese proverb) and while not precisely canon, he prepares a dinner with some first-class presentation for his captive during the live action promotional videos, and briefly holds forth on the philosophical subject of whether all men are brothers. |
| 693 | * WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: He really was a ordinary guy but the pressure given by Citra and Hoyt's drugs has destroyed his sanity, turning him into [[AxCrazy homicidal maniac.]] Downplayed in the ''Far Cry 6'' prequel comic and "Insanity" DLC; both indicate Vaas was using drugs and engaging in piracy from a young age, but Citra's emotional manipulation did eventually end up driving him to work for Hoyt and going completely AxCrazy. |
| 694 | * YellowEyesOfSneakiness: While it's really a case of his eyes being a ''very'' light hazel, some of the promotional material are definitely invoking this trope. In the actual game, Vaas' eyes are closer to green. |
| 695 | * YouCantFightFate: His "Definition of insanity" speech has this theme and Vaas's behaviour is justified to himself as breaking the algorithm. He puts up the act that he's an erratic psychopath because he believes that showing weakness will make him vulnerable. He believes he must act a certain way so the world can make sense and remain in balance. |
| 696 | * YouMonster: Citra calls what he's become a monster, though he wasn't one before. |

| 700 | !!Hoyt Volker |
| 701 | ->'''Voiced By:''' Steve Cumyn (English)[[note]]'''Other Languages''':Valery Storozhik (Russian)[[/note]] |
| 702 | [[quoteright:344:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/FarCry3_Hoyt_v01_5047.jpg]] |
| 703 | |
| 704 | Hoyt Volker is the primary antagonist of Far Cry 3. He is described as 'Armageddon' compared to Vaas and works in [[HumanTrafficking slave trafficking]] and murder as well as drugs. He is the leader of the Privateers and also rules the South Island. |
| 705 | ---- |
| 706 | * AbusiveParents: Hoyt himself is not a parent- thank goodness- but his diamond miner father back in Johannesburg used to beat his son repeatedly and treat him atrociously. [[SelfMadeOrphan No wonder Hoyt killed him.]] |
| 707 | * AmoralAfrikaner: [[FunetikAksent Seth Effrican]] dyed-in-the-bone, and an exceptionally cruel and brutal man, though unlike most examples he isn't a mercenary, just the ringleader of a slaving company. |
| 708 | * AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:When Jason kills him]]. |
| 709 | * AxCrazy: TheDon meets AxCrazy extraordinaire: He's a deranged, homicidal {{sadist}} who commits mass murder on a regular basis and is just as unhinged as Vaas. [[MaskOfSanity He's just better at hiding it.]] |
| 710 | * BadBoss: He generally lets his men do as they please as long as they follow his three rules, but if they don't they end up in a tiny metal box, doused in gasoline and burned alive as an example to his new recruits. |
| 711 | * BigBad: Although Hoyt is seldom seen [[spoiler:until Vaas is killed]], he's in command of the pirates on the islands and the one creating and profiting the drug and slave trade that oppresses the natives. [[spoiler:Although Citra effectively makes this a BigBadEnsemble]]. |
| 712 | * BlasphemousPraise: When he's delivering an orientation speech to his privateers, Hoyt recounts his father's exploits as a diamond miner, and says "For that wonderful... ''wonderful'' man, the company was God." Then again, Hoyt hated his father, so his praise is most likely false motivation in addition to blasphemy. |
| 713 | * CombatPragmatist: He shows himself as one of these [[spoiler:at the poker game between him, Jason and Sam. He waits for a lull in the game before pulling out a large knife and ''stabbing Sam's throat with it'', whilst his men restrain Jason to prevent him from interfering and to enable Hoyt to cut off one of Jason's fingers. Afterwards, in their KnifeFight, Hoyt sweeps Jason's legs out from under him twice, and then tries stabbing him while he's down.]] |
| 714 | * ConsummateLiar: [[spoiler: In his meeting with Jason Brody (who was in disguise) he gives a speech about the nature of his work and trying to know "Foster" before sending him to torture his prisoner, Riley Brody. For the most part, it looked like Hoyt never caught on to the plot, but a video recording of Jason reveals Hoyt was never fooled. He already knew what Jason looked like and he forced Jason to torture his own brother for Hoyt's amusement. However, he still let Jason destroy his empire because of his hubris and inability to recognise Jason as a threat.]] |
| 715 | * CoolCar: Apparently, Hoyt has a car, because he threatens to mount Vaas' head on the antenna if Mr. Montenegro doesn't make an effort to find and kill Mr. Brody soon. |
| 716 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: Granted, the fact that he deals in human trafficking and the drugs trade should make him corrupt by default, but the detachment and professionalism with which he talks about his business really cements his status as one. |
| 717 | * TheCorrupter: To Vaas, who became the monster we see in the game because of the drugs and power Hoyt offered him.[[spoiler: At least that's what Citra says, but some of Vaas’s lines shows his sister messed with him way before Hoyt showed up.]] |
| 718 | * DeathByIrony: His words to Jason that on the Rook Islands, it won't be cancer that kills you can be said to apply to Jason [[spoiler:if he kills his friends and gets knifed by Citra right after having sex with her,]] but they also apply to Hoyt himself, [[spoiler:who dies when Jason shoves two knives through his throat and into the top of his head.]] |
| 719 | * DecapitationPresentation: In a recording owned by Willis, he threatens to mount Vaas' head on his car antenna if he doesn't do his job and kill Jason Brody soon. |
| 720 | * DidNotThinkThisThrough: It's unclear how much of it came down to Hoyt's poor decision-making and how much of it was [[HandWave hand-waved]] by the devs for the sake of StuffBlowingUp, but that ship Hoyt blows up in his EstablishingCharacterMoment is anchored in a fairly cramped river dock far inland. The explosion is almost assured to cause heavy damage to the dock, followed by what's left of it being blocked completely by what's left of the ship. In short, getting rid of the ship in this way, in this location, is a very villainous version of AwesomeButImpractical. |
| 721 | * DirtyCoward: [[spoiler:Zig-zagged in the boss fight. Hoyt is all SmugSnake before he fights Jason. When Jason actually stabs him, though, he tries threatening that his friends will track Jason down if he kills him, and when he screams "You can't win! ''I hold all the cards''!!", Jason accuses him of being this. In spite of this, Hoyt never tries to run away from Jason, [[VillainousValor and keeps fighting until he loses]].]] |
| 722 | * TheDon: Of his own crime syndicate. He is the most powerful criminal on the island and the brains behind the slave trafficking and drugs. |
| 723 | * TheDreaded: Everyone on the islands is terrified of him, with the exception of his privateers. |
| 724 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: Jason's first one-to-one meeting with Hoyt sees the BigBad revealing his fondness for fine cigars and classical music, as well as an educated understanding of business, all of which he contrasts by the horrendous act of destroying a ship full of prisoners whose negotiators wouldn't hear Hoyt's demands for ransom money. Hoyt sees their deaths as nothing more than a failed business transaction and seems to enjoy the moment in his song at which the ship explodes, drawing a parallel between the two for himself. |
| 725 | * {{Expy}}: Hoyt's mannerisms are very reminiscent of [[Film/Scarface1983 Tony Montana]], as well as his actor, Creator/AlPacino. |
| 726 | * EvilerThanThou: As bad as Vaas was, Hoyt has proven himself to be infinitely worse. |
| 727 | * EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: After [[spoiler:[[{{Fingore}} cutting off one of Jason's fingers]]]], he says "Aw, Jason, [[FauxYay now we'll never get married.]]" |
| 728 | ** Also, he laughs like a little boy after blowing up the hostage-holding boat in his harbour. |
| 729 | * EvilIsHammy: |
| 730 | ** When he's shouting or waving his hands to opera music, he can be as over-the-top as Vaas. |
| 731 | ** Steve Cumyn really had a ball with playing Hoyt, as you can tell whenever he starts shouting in his raspy South African accent to both friends and enemies. |
| 732 | --->'''Hoyt''': (''addressing a bunch of captives from Beras Town'') [[NoIndoorVoice I WANT IT TO BE CLEAR!]] THAT ANYONE- ''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis ANYONE]]!'' WHO HELPS THOSE ''SAVAGES'' OUT IN THE WOODS! [[MakeAnExampleOfThem WILL END UP LIKE OUR FRIENDS HERE!]] IS MY POINT COMING ACROSS?! (''to one villager'') '''YOU!!! RUN!!!''' (''Hoyt fires a machine gun in the air, scaring the villagers across a rice field, so that two of them get blown up by landmines, and the remaining man ends up sprinting off into the pirates' territory'') POINT MADE! (''to his men'') HAVE FUN, BOYS! |
| 733 | * EvilPoacher: He tells Jason that he considers hunting "[[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain the noblest of professions]]". |
| 734 | * EvilSoundsRaspy: Probably on account of all that smoking he does, Hoyt's rough voice can be compared to a barking dog. |
| 735 | * FatalFlaw: {{Pride}}. Hoyt has built up his reputation as a fearsome man and anything that might threaten often sends him into a murdering mood to reassert himself, but he often goes above and beyond to prove his point in order to MakeAnExampleOfThem. [[spoiler:He knew exactly what Jason looked like, but played along with his and Sam's infiltration ploy, ignoring the much-safer option of just gunning down them both down in favor of an up-front encounter where he could shove it in their faces he was never fooled but simultaneously putting himself in the perfect position for Jason to still kill him.]] |
| 736 | * FauxAffablyEvil: Is often, on the surface, very friendly to his men, speaking to them personally and inviting them up to his personal office for a private talk if he likes their potential. He also has no problem simultaneously demonstrating the punishment for disloyalty by burning a man alive in a hotbox or casually destroying a cruise ship full of innocent people he tried to sell. |
| 737 | * {{Fingore}}: [[spoiler:He cuts off one of Jason's fingers after winning their poker game.]] |
| 738 | * {{Foil}}: To his own Dragon, Vaas. Where Vaas is an unpredictable, deranged lunatic who is as likely to kill someone in a frenzy as he is to have an amicable chat with them about the nature of insanity, Hoyt is a ''relatively'' calm, calculating, stable businessman with a pragmatic approach to problems. Where Vaas falls victim to his own madness at times, proving to be GenreBlind often when dealing with Jason, Hoyt is much more of a NoNonsenseNemesis, but when it comes down to it falls head-long into BondVillainStupidity just to prove a point. This even extends to their relative domains and minions. The northern island ruled by Vaas is wild and overgrown, with lots of dangerous animals and pirates roaming about without much in the way of organization. The southern island ruled by Hoyt is more controlled, with more open grassland, urbanized areas, military-style outposts, and frequent patrols by well-armed and organized privateers. |
| 739 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: Choleric. Hoyt has a taste for control and dominance towards others, and has aspects geared towards leadership and ambition. |
| 740 | * FreudianExcuse: Technically, [[AllThereInTheManual it's only in his character bio]], but Hoyt apparently had a "[[AbusiveParents a brutal upbringing by his father,]] a South African mining boss". Upon growing up, Hoyt "[[WellDoneSonGuy sought to]] [[EvilerThanThou outdo him]]", and did so by [[TheStarscream subverting and murdering the original leader of the Pirates]], [[FromNobodyToNightmare before expanding across the Rook Islands]] as a [[ArmsDealer gun runner]], [[MadeASlave sex trafficker]], [[HiredGuns and leader of a ruthless legion of mercenaries.]] |
| 741 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: Hoyt was born as the [[AbusiveParents abused son]] of a miner and told he'd never amount to anything. Choosing piracy as his calling, Hoyt grew up to join the pirates of the Rook Islands and worked his way up to the top by brutally executing his boss in front of his family, before expanding his territories and becoming the [[TheDreaded most feared man in the area]]. |
| 742 | * GayBravado: PlayedForLaughs. [[BlackComedy Very dark laughs.]] [[spoiler:After Hoyt cuts off Jason's ring-finger]], he jokes that they'll never be married now. |
| 743 | * GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: In his words, [[EverythingTryingToKillYou smoking won't be what kills people on the islands]]. He probably gets it from his father, judging by his remarks about his father smoking a cigarette before he went off diamond-mining. |
| 744 | * HateSink: Despite the fact that Hoyt can be quite [[EvilIsHammy Hammy]] and entertaining to watch, he's ultimately the reason for everything bad that happens in the game. The man is an incredibly depraved mob boss who routinely has people murdered, tortured, slaved, or raped; and unlike Vaas, his "FreudianExcuse" is very weak. What makes Hoyt exceptionally detestable is that, unlike Vaas, he's not mentally ill and fully aware of his actions. |
| 745 | * HeroKiller: [[spoiler:He stabs Sam to death right in front of Jason to raise the stakes of their poker game.]] |
| 746 | * HoardingTheProfits: One of the reasons Hoyt is such a BadBoss is that he insists on keeping all the profits made from his empire of drug running and human trafficking for himself, instead of sharing any of it with his [[RuthlessModernPirates privateers]]. The other half is that, if any of his men disobey him and keep some of the money for themselves, he'll [[DisproportionateRetribution burn them alive]] just to MakeAnExampleOfThem |
| 747 | * HypocriticalHumor: He comments on how the brass instruments in American orchestra versions of Wagner are "too bombastic", right after going through a gloriously hammy speech about his globalized criminal operations and humming energetically to the music. |
| 748 | * IControlMyMinionsThrough: Fear. We first meet him when he's giving a speech to his men that he rounds off by setting one of them on fire for breaking one of his three rules [[MakeAnExampleOfThem in order to let the rest of the men know he'll do the same to any one of them.]] He later tells Jason that fear is [[BlatantLies the secret to keeping his employees happy.]] |
| 749 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler: He's left with not one but two knives in his body - one in the neck and the other (depending on whether you perform the final QTE) lodged in his gut or wedged into his forehead.]] |
| 750 | * IronicName: Volker means "People's defender" and he runs a business in slavery and human trafficking. |
| 751 | * ItsCuban: He smokes Cohiba cigars, and offers Jason one when he's undercover as Foster. When Jason refuses, Hoyt attributes this to Jason being concerned about cancer, and tells him not to be: after all, on the Rook Islands, "cancer won't be what kills you". |
| 752 | * KickTheDog: |
| 753 | ** Forced three natives at gunpoint to run across a minefield after which they will be met with pirates on the other side that will shoot them down. |
| 754 | ** Blew up a slave ship he was selling after negotiations with its buyers broke down and called it lost collateral. |
| 755 | ** He knew full well who [[spoiler: "Foster" and Riley really were from the start,]] and forces the former to [[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique brutally beat the latter]] as a form of psychological torture. |
| 756 | * KnewItAllAlong: [[spoiler:The reason why Sam dies and his plan fails. It's not made clear precisely when Hoyt figured out who was who, but by the time they reach the poker game, he knows Sam is a traitor and who "Foster" really is.]] |
| 757 | * KnifeFight: [[spoiler: He whips out a wicked combat knife to murder Sam in one swift stroke, then dislodges the blade from Sam's throat to cut off Jason's finger. He proceeds to back up his swagger with the most difficult, intense knife fight of the game.]] |
| 758 | -->'''Hoyt:''' ''"I've been doing this long before you were born, kid."'' |
| 759 | * LackOfEmpathy: |
| 760 | ** Hoyt doesn't give a shit about anything as long as he's making a profit. He tells his men to kill the natives because they're in his way, skipping right over any diplomatic solution and informs them they can [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil do as they please]] with his slaves as long as they don't do anything that would cause permanent damage and impact what he can sell them for. |
| 761 | ** At another point, he explains to Jason the value of capitalism and how inefficient it is to avoid trading with people, which he then leads in to the slave ship he's got for ransom, which his would be buyers refuse to negotiate for. With no more interest in their lives than a simple product, Hoyt uncaringly blows the ship up and cuts his losses. |
| 762 | * LaughablyEvil: He provides some jokes during his lines. Besides, [[EvilIsHammy his over-acting demeanor]] can be quite enjoyable to watch. |
| 763 | * LeanAndMean: Hoyt is the thinnest of the three male villains, and he's the most vicious. |
| 764 | * MakeAnExampleOfThem: Native sympathizers stole a transportation manifest from him? He drives them across a ricefield laced with landmines, killing two of them, then entrusts his pirates with hunting the SoleSurvivor. One of his men ends up breaking the three company rules? He locks him in a metal box and sets fire to him. Hoyt is a serious man. [[spoiler:It ends up getting him killed when he decides to kill Sam and Jason face-to-face surrounded by guards to drive home to them that he was never fooled by their ploy, which ends up putting himself in knife-range of a furious and bloodthirsty Jason.]] |
| 765 | * TheManBehindTheMan: Vaas is [[TheHeavy the antagonist Jason faces the most]] but all operations he undertakes are done to upkeep the parts of Hoyt's business he has been entrusted with. |
| 766 | * ManOfWealthAndTaste: {{Downplayed|Trope}}, but visible. He wears a blazer and proper button-down shirt as opposed to his {{mook}}s, who generally wear tattered, casual clothes. He also has a taste for opera, as well as fine spirits and cigars. And he has a very nice, stylish, well-kept office on the island, one that wouldn't be out of place for a CEO of a successful company - [[DamnItFeelsGoodToBeAGangster which, of course he is]]. |
| 767 | * MaskOfSanity: Hoyt likes to put on a facade as a reasonable business man, but in truth he has absolutely no regard for human life and proves to be just as [[AxCrazy off his rocker]] as Vaas. |
| 768 | * NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: His first name is pronounced similarly to the {{Joisey}} pronunciation of "hurt", and his last name is similar to the word [[VileVulture "vulture"]]. No, [[Series/SpittingImage he's not a nice South African.]] |
| 769 | * NoMrBondIExpectYouToDine: Right before playing poker with Sam and Jason, he asks whether he can get them any food, like a nut. When they tell him no, he doesn't bring it up again. |
| 770 | * NoNonsenseNemesis: Subverted. He manages to [[spoiler: figure out that Foster is actually Brody and that Sam is betraying him]] but then Hoyt delves into BondVillainStupidity by monologuing about how he's outsmarted them and, instead of simply having one of his gun-toting mooks shoot Jason, forces Brody into a game of poker to death. And it's not even that savvy to begin with since [[spoiler: he had a video showing Jason and Riley identified him as his brother.]] |
| 771 | * OrcusOnHisThrone: He's Vaas' boss but allows [[TheDragon Vaas]] to operate under his own discretion and doesn't become a direct threat to Jason until [[spoiler: Vaas is killed]]. |
| 772 | * PoliteVillainsRudeHeroes: After telling Jason he knew who he was all along, he continues being FauxAffablyEvil to him as they continue their poker game. Jason, however, no longer feels any need to hide his hatred of Mr. Volker. |
| 773 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He hates the Rakyat to the point where he orders his men to shoot them on sight. He also claims to be a [[EvilPoacher hunter]], and describes it as "the noblest of professions". |
| 774 | * PracticallyJoker: His AxCrazy behavior ForTheEvulz, unbridled [[{{Sadist}} sadism]], intelligence, manipulation, [[EvilIsHammy Hammy]] tendencies, propensity for random violence, and the fact that he's TheDon of a criminal organization make him a noticeable parallel to Creator/HeathLedger's [[Film/TheDarkKnight Joker]]. |
| 775 | * PreFinalBoss: Despite being the man who's behind the DiscOneFinalBoss, Vaas, and the rest of the pirates operating out of the island, [[spoiler: he gets killed in the penultimate episode, and Citra becomes the FinalBoss.]] |
| 776 | * RankScalesWithAsskicking: He's pretty good with a knife. [[spoiler: Jason's earlier knife fight with Buck is a CurbstompBattle, whereas in the final fight Hoyt actually puts up a fairly even duel. That is, assuming that Brody didn't hallucinate him fighting Hoyt as he actually killed the guards, explaining why they were dead when the boss fight ended.]] |
| 777 | * RealMenWearPink: An evil South African slaver who wears a nice pink shirt. |
| 778 | * RuleOfThree: Hoyt has three company rules for his men to follow: |
| 779 | ## Keep his product (drugs and slaves) intact. They can [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil rape the slaves]], but [[PragmaticVillainy take care not to damage them]]. |
| 780 | ## Kill any native on sight. |
| 781 | ## [[ItsAllAboutMe Give all the profits to Hoyt.]] |
| 782 | * RuthlessForeignGangsters: In his case, Ruthless South African Gangster. |
| 783 | * {{Sadist}}: He clearly enjoys everything he does. |
| 784 | * TheScapegoat: ZigZagged, [[spoiler: Citra blames Hoyt for making Vaas a pirate by corrupting him with drugs and other false promises. However, if Vaas is to be believed, Citra self-righteously drove Vaas to his breaking point through emotional blackmail and is only blaming Hoyt to manipulate Jason as well.]] |
| 785 | * ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: He tries to pull this on Jason during their duel by claiming he has powerful friends who'll hunt Jason down in case of Hoyt's death. Jason assures him [[BadassBoast they won't find anything left of him]]. |
| 786 | * SelfMadeOrphan: He killed his abusive father at some point in order to outdo him. |
| 787 | * SherlockScan: He claims he can read people to "Foster", describing him as having CommitmentIssues, which is why Hoyt is reluctant to let "Foster" join his inner circle. [[spoiler:And he's actually more adept than he lets on, which enables him to work out that "Foster" is really Jason Brody and confront him with this at the poker game. "How stupid do you think I am?" indeed]]. |
| 788 | * SmugSnake: Lets Jason Brody continue his charade despite it destroying ''half'' his organization. [[spoiler: He also believes he can take on Jason Brody himself where both Buck and Vaas failed, which ends up killing him.]] |
| 789 | * TheSociopath: In a game filled with brutal psychopaths, he still stands out as one of the most chilling examples. |
| 790 | * StrawNihilist: Of a different stripe than Vaas. Whereas Vaas in his "definition of insanity" speech derided people for constantly "doing the same thing over and over again expecting shit to change" and so aspired to [[ForTheEvulz do whatever he wants whenever and however he wants]], Hoyt's entire operation effectively ''is'' that cycle of repetition of suffering and profit. Hoyt, however, doesn't care about that and in his conversation with Jason shows he sees life as fleeting, thus any moral qualms are unnecessary [[TheHedonist with the only goal being to profit and indulge as much as possible while he has it while doing his damnedest to live long enough to enjoy every moment]]. |
| 791 | * SuddenlyShouting: |
| 792 | ** Does this [[spoiler: when he reveals to Jason he was in on his and Sam's plot to kill him.]] |
| 793 | --->'''Hoyt:''' [[spoiler:[[DidYouActuallyBelieve How stupid do you think I am?!]]]] |
| 794 | ** And earlier, in a recording secured by Willis, he loses his temper and stops being polite to Vaas when the pirate is more concerned with the fact that his sister's tatooing Jason than that he has not killed Jason yet: |
| 795 | --->'''Hoyt:''' ''"I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOUR FAMILY!'' ''It is by my grace that your head isn't impaled on the antenna of my car! Therefore, I would like it if you gave a fuck about Jason Brody!"'' |
| 796 | * SwipeYourBladeOff: He does this [[spoiler:with a knife he's lodged in Sam's neck,]] spraying [[spoiler:Sam's]] blood all over the table [[spoiler:right before cutting off Jason's ring finger.]] |
| 797 | * TheSyndicate: Hoyt's criminal organization is an immensely powerful organization dedicated in drug trade and human trafficking. And as if that was not enough, he has an army of bloodthirsty mercenaries at his disposal. |
| 798 | -->'''Hoyt:''' "I'm a hunter myself. The noblest of professions. But you know, I like to hunt real game. I can offer you travel to slave markets in Rio, Hong Kong, New York. This is a global enterprise. Globalisation is the future, bringing things from far away to me." |
| 799 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: |
| 800 | ** [[spoiler:He assumed that his own knife skills and a dozen bodyguards would be enough to take care of Jason. He was wrong.]] |
| 801 | ** [[spoiler:Jason and Sam are also on the receiving end of this. When they sat down on at the poker game, they both expected that they had the perfect cover, and that Hoyt didn't suspect a thing. Wrong on both counts.]] |
| 802 | ** And going much, ''much'' earlier, [[spoiler:he blows off Vaas' concerns about Citra and tells him to focus solely on Jason. Nevermind that Citra was effectively always using Jason as her main weapon against him, and was the one who first got him interested in the ancient Chinese knife that partially led to the encounter and killing of Hoyt's main hitman Buck, encouraged Jason to take on Vaas, and then manipulated Jason to taking the fight directly to Hoyt himself.]] |
| 803 | * VillainHasAPoint: Hoyt's kill-on-sight order for any of the Rakyat his men meet initially appears to be just evidence that he's a PoliticallyIncorrectVillain. Considering that we later learn the Rakyat were [[spoiler:EvilAllAlong and try to convince Jason to kill his friends, cut all ties to the outside world, and then murder him after he impregnates Citra]], one might wonder whether or not it might be better to just let Hoyt kill the Rakyat. |
| 804 | * VillainousBreakdown: Has a progressive one as Jason dismantles his organization. [[spoiler:Jason even calls him out as afraid in their final battle.]] |
| 805 | * WickedCultured: A big fan of [[Music/RichardWagner Wagnerian]] orchestra. He even has a preference for European rather than American orchestral renditions, claiming the brass section in the latter to be "too bombastic". Rather hypocritical considering his composer of choice. |

| 809 | !!Citra Talugmai/Montenegro |
| 810 | |
| 811 | While Citra aided Jason in defeating his enemies, she always had her own intentions for him. Following the culture of the Rakyat, she seeks to mold Jason into the perfect warrior of their tribe, even if that means forcibly and permanently severing him off from any link to his old life completely by his own hands. |
