56
57	[[folder:Richard Williams]]
58	!! Richard Williams
59	-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/PaulStPeter
60
61	-> An Irish assassin and the father of Nina and Anna Williams, having trained both of them to follow his line of work. Although he died between Tekken 1 and Tekken 2, his tendency to favor Nina over Anna is what set in motion the siblings' intense rivalry.
62	----
63	Tropes associated with Richard:
64	* AbusiveParents: While not as bad as Heihachi or Kazuya, Richard is hardly Father of the Year material. He trained both his daughters to become cold-hearted assassins, neglecting his younger daughter for wanting to have a normal life. Despite openly favoring Nina, it was his training that conditioned her to become the cold-hearted woman that we know today.
65	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: To Richard's credit, in his dying moments he realized how much his actions have ruined the lives of both his daughters and urged them to reconcile. Unfortunately, the damage was already done and the sisters never got the memo.
66	* PosthumousCharacter: Dead by the time the second game began.
67	* TruceZone: His gravesite is this, as seen in ''Tekken 2''. Nina and Anna would never fight each other at his grave.

72	!!Alan Smithee
73	[[quoteright:262:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/death_by_degrees_edgar.jpg]]
74	[[caption-width-right:262:]]
75	-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/CrispinFreeman
76
77	->A sneaker sent by the CIA and [=MI6=] alongside John Doe to infiltrate the Kometa cruise ship Amphitrite. When John gets killed by Edgar Grant, he has to leave the rest of the job to Nina, although he continues to give her clues while he goes off somewhere to gather intelligence. In actuality, he ''is'' Edgar Grant, one of the Kometa executives.
78	----
79	Tropes associated with Alan:
80	* ApologeticAttacker: Despite his agenda, he seems to develop some sort of affection for Nina, as he regrets having to kill Nina in order to dispose all witnesses.
81	* BigBadFriend: In hindsight, Nina wastes a lot of time trying to locate Edgar Grant when he is communicating or even tailing her around for quite a few times.
82	* DragonWithAnAgenda: He is technically the Dragon for Lana Lei. However, he secretly wants to kill everyone else so he can claim credit ''and'' dispose any bad marks. Also, Lana kills him before he has a chance to fight Nina.
83	* EscortMission: If Alan is around, you have to ensure that he survives his ordeal until he leaves. That includes sniper missions. Fortunately, he is more than capable to defend himself until you rescue him.
84	* {{Foreshadowing}}: Really, the fact that he somehow manages to escape multiple instances of disasters wrought upon by Kometa (like avoiding the Type J robots or surviving the helicopter crash) should clue you in that he is helped by them.
85	* IntergenerationalFriendship: Possibly. ''DBD'' seems to take place shortly after the fall of the Soviet Union and before or during the events of ''T2'', where Nina is chronologically and physically in her twenties, i.e. she isn't subjected to cryosleep yet. Alan, meanwhile is 40.
86	* LeaveNoWitnesses: He wants to kill all witnesses of the development of Salacia, including all executives, scientists, developers, and assassins who discover it so there would be no one to implicate him.
87	* ManipulativeBastard: Presents himself as Nina's handler, when he is really one of the BigBad.
88	* MeaningfulName: "Alan Smithee" is the pseudonym used by film directors in the second half of the 20th century who want to distance themselves from their projects. Edgar Grant wants to sweep all evidences of his responsibility in Kometa so he can walk out of the carnage as an innocent man.
89	* MissionControl: Acts one to Nina, providing her with information and maps. Sometimes you wonder where he is when Nina isn't around. Lounging in the executive room, perhaps?
90	* TheMole: His real name is Edgar Grant, one of the executives of Kometa.
91	* TheUnfought: Before Nina even has a chance to hit him, Lana recovers and shoots him dead.
92	* WalkingSpoiler: Very much so.

99	[[quoteright:245:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/death_by_degrees_lana.jpg]]
100	[[caption-width-right:245:]]
101
102	->The head of Kometa, an organization made from remnants of the former Communist governments wanting harness the power of methane hydrate that enables them to detonate ships from a distance.
103	----
104	Tropes associated with Lana:
105	* AxCrazy: After Bryce dies and Edgar almost kills her, she immediately races to activate Salacia to destroy the East Coast.
106	* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: Nina does not have to murder her BigBadFriend. Lana kills Edgar for her.
107	* BigBad: As leader of Kometa.
108	* CombatHandFan: She utilizes her razor-sharp fans as a sort of boomerang.
109	* DragonLady: Aggressive, check. Untrustworthy, check. Mysterious, check. Although unlike the typical vamp, she only has one love in her life.
110	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She loves dear Bryce so much she puts his preserved corpse on her bed, adorned by roses.
111	* LaughingMad: When you consider that she's not too sane.
112	* MadeOfIron: She not only survives two fights with Nina, but shrugs off being shot several times. Despite these injuries, she manages to fight Nina a third time.
113	* MasterOfIllusion: She takes Nina to an alternate dimension during all their battles.
114	* MindRape: Able to bring out her target's worst memories. In the case of Nina, she brings up the latter's memories of her father being killed.
115	* OneSteveLimit: No relation to Lei Wulong.
116	* PrecisionGuidedBoomerang: See CombatHandFan above.
117	* RasputinianDeath: She survives being shot several times by Edgar. In contrast, she merely shoots Edgar three times and he dies instantly. She seemingly finally dies after her third fight with Nina, where she bleeds out, while the ship she's on is exploding.
118	* SilkHidingSteel: Think this fan-carrying lady is harmless? She is the last of the Kometa executives to die.
119	* TheSmurfettePrinciple: The sole female executive of Kometa.
120	* WhiteHairBlackHeart

126	[[quoteright:245:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/death_by_degrees_lukas.jpg]]
127	[[caption-width-right:245:]]
128
129	-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/BeauBillingslea
130
131	->A scientist who works for Kometa. He is a pupil of Dr. Bosconovitch, whom he resents for being more popular than he is. From Bosconovitch, he stole a blueprint for Type J, which is later used by Kometa to mass produce robots. Lukas is the designer of Salacia, but when Kometa misuses his work for money, he attempts to escape, only to be captured again.
132	----
133	Tropes associated with Lukas:
134	* ActionSurvivor: He is the only true non-combatant in the game, so it is a wonder he is able to hold himself together for long.
135	* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil: He used to be mentored by Dr. Bosconovitch, but when he realized that he would never outdo him he decided to leave Mishima Zaibatsu and took up job with Kometa.
136	* BlackDudeDiesFirst: Subverted. The opening makes it look like he will be executed, but turns out that he is merely imprisoned, as Kometa still needs his expertise to activate Salacia. He is the third major Kometa character to die.
137	* EscortMission: Again like Alan, whenever Lukas is around, you have to ensure he survives. But unlike Alan, Lukas is a non-combatant and absolutely cannot defend himself.
138	* EvilGenius: Of Kometa.
139	* GoryDiscretionShot: We see Edgar shooting Lukas from the latter's perspective. Nina only sees the aftermath.
140	* GreenEyedMonster: Against Dr. Bosconovitch.
141	* JiveTurkey: His ghetto speech contrasts heavily with the general seriousness of the game.
142	* NerdGlasses: Wears these.
143	* ShootTheShaggyDog: Nina spends her entire mission in Solitary Penitentiary to rescue Lukas, the only one who can deactivate Salacia. Then he is captured by Enrique and forced to activate Salacia at gunpoint, after which Edgar kills him. But really, Nina's entire mission in the isle is doomed from the start, as her handler, Alan, is Edgar.
144	* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Edgar executes him after he places Salacia in position.

152	-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/SteveBlum
153
154	->An executive of Kometa who rules over Solitary Penitentiary Isle.
155	----
156	Tropes associated with Enrique
157	* EvilGenius: While Lukas builds Salacia, Enrique is the one who gets connections to send reinforcements for Kometa from Tekken Force.
158	* GratuitousSpanish: Peppers his speech with Spanish.
159	* KatanasAreJustBetter: Wields one.
160	* OccidentalOtaku: Considering his choice of weapon and his role as an intermediate between Kometa and Mishima Zaibatsu.
161	* {{Omniglot}}: Speaks English, Spanish, and Japanese fluently.

169
170	-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/LexLang
171
172	->Lana Lei's personal bodyguard and lover.
173	----
174	Tropes associated with Bryce:
175	* BodyguardCrush: He and Lana are lovers.
176	* TheBrute: Of Kometa.
177	* DeadGuyOnDisplay: After he dies, Lana preserves his body, puts him on her bed, and adorns him with roses. The sight is creepy, to say the least.
178	* FadeToWhite: When he dies.
179	* GunNut: "I like guns". He means it; during his last fight with Nina, he throws his guns...only to bring out another pair.

187	[[caption-width-right:162:]]
188
189	->'''Origin''': United States
190
191	->A star quarterback football player in college, Bo Montana took up a military career after graduating and took the nickname "Rodeo". While on a mission, his squad were ambushed and all of Rodeo's comrades had their life force drained by the mysterious Revenant. Rodeo travels the world to exact revenge on him.
192	----
193	Tropes associated with Rodeo:
194	* ActionGenreHeroGuy: Fits the bill, only lacking a buzzcut.
195	* AllAmericanFace: A straightforward American hero. Tall and muscular? Check. Star athlete in school? Check. Military background? Checkerino.
196	* AscendedMeme: Some have drawn comparisons between Rodeo and the generic, muscular American skinhead whom Harada jokingly claimed would replace the divisive [[TokenMiniMoe Lucky Chloe]] in the western ports of ''Tekken 7''. Getting to appear in the mobile port may be a consolation prize.
197	* {{Eagleland}}: Type 1.
198	* TheGenericGuy: Let's face it, he's not winning any Mr. Personality awards, though he at least has a semblance of a storyline and some unique moves, which is more than can be said for the other generic enemy combatants who debuted in the mobile game.
199	* GoodOldFisticuffs: Similar to Miguel, his fighting style is basic street brawling, though with some added finesse thanks to his combat training. Some of his hard-hitting moves and mannerisms are also reminiscent of Marduk.
200	* IKnowMaddenKombat: His repertoire contains a few tackles owing to his sporty background and he has a gridiron football uniform as an alternate costume.
201	* MegatonPunch: His Critical Art consists of one, similar to those of Paul Phoenix and other characters.
202	* {{Revenge}}: Seeks Revenant's head on a plate to avenge his fallen comrades.
203	* TallDarkAndHandsome: Especially in his black leather coat alt.

212	->A mysterious hooded fighter who wields dark, energy-draining powers. He has a history with the American fighter Bo Montana, and reemerges one day to interrupt a match between Kazuya and Nina.
213	----
214	Tropes associated with Revenant:
215	* ApocalypseCult: Leads one called the Acolytes, who hail the return of [[spoiler:Ogre]].
216	* DarkIsEvil: Wears a black hood and wields darkness-based energy powers.
217	* GenericDoomsdayVillain: He's just an evil guy who appears to cause trouble for various characters.
218	* VampiricDraining: He drains the life force from his victims to add to his own power [[spoiler: and, eventually, Ogre's too.]]

227	General tropes:
228	* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Their generic enemy names describe exactly what they are.
229	* TheGenericGuy: None of them have storylines or personalities to speak of and they all mimic animations from established Tekken characters.
230
231	!!Tiger Miyagi
232
233	-> A Japanese karateka, also known simply as "Karate Master".
234	----
235	Tropes associated with Tiger Miyagi:
236	* UsefulNotes/{{Karate}}: His style is fairly basic, though he incorporates some techniques from Kazuya's Advanced Mishima-Style Karate.
237
238	!!Ruby
239
240	-> A female brawler dressed in leather, also known simply as "Biker".

245
246	!!Yue
247
248	-> A Chinese martial artist, also known simply as, uh... [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment "Martial]] [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Artist".]]
249	----
250	Tropes associated with Yue:
251	* PerpetualFrowner: She has a mean expression at all times and shows no other emotion.
252	* SheFu: Her fighting style is slightly more complex than the other generics, blending elements of various female characters' fighting styles, most prominently those of Xiaoyu, Leo and Julia.
253
254	!!Isaak
255
256	-> A thuggish male street brawler, also known simply as "Punk".
257	----
258	Tropes associated with Isaak:
259	* FaceOfAThug: He certainly looks like a violent delinquent.
260	* GreaserDelinquents: He's got it all: slicked-back haircut, faded denim jeans, a tacky jacket and a wife-beater vest.
261	* {{Mooks}}: He resembles a typical low-ranking street thug you'd encounter in a beat-'em-up such as ''VideoGame/FinalFight''.

274
275	-> '''Voiced by:''' Rumiko Varnes (''5''), Creator/ErinFitzgerald (''6''), Creator/KiraBuckland (''8''), Jessica Schwartz (Anime/TekkenTheMotionPicture, ENG)
276
277	->A girl orphaned in a conflict zone, she is spotted by Jack-2, who defies his programming and takes care of her. She later grows up to become a scientist for G Corporation.
278	----
279	Tropes associated with Jane:
280	%%* AGirlAndHerX: The X being a series of intelligent robots. %% Add more context to describe their relationship and what effect it has on them. %%
281	* DemotedToExtra: Jane used to be the main driving force of Jack's stories. Part of Jack-2's motivation to join the second tournament was to get in contact with Dr. B. so he can cure her disease. In ''3'' she created Gun-Jack and tried to infiltrate Mishima Zaibatsu with him to get Jack-2's memories back. In ''5'' she sent Jack-5 to the fifth tournament for combat data and to get Jack-2's memories back, but after this her screentime decreased. The last time she showed up is in Jack-6's ending in ''6'' for a gag, and after she's only mentioned in Jack's character profiles to explain his upgrades. The same happens in ''8'' in Jack-8's character episode ending.
282	* FlatCharacter: Has no real personality besides caring for Jack.
283	* InterspeciesFriendship: With the Jacks, who retain their memories of Jane due to the Jack-2 chip installed on their programming.
284	* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: She's Russian, but only ever spoke English with an American accent.
285	* ParentalAbandonment: Her parents died in an unspecified conflict.
286	* SatelliteCharacter: She is only around to try to get Jack-2's memories back and create new Jack models.
287	* SheIsAllGrownUp: Oh yes. Without the backstory, no one may ever know that the comely scientist who infiltrates Mishima Zaibatsu with Gun-Jack in his ''3'' epilogue is the same girl lounging with Jack-2 in his ''2'' ending.

299
300	->A MadScientist working for Mishima Zaibatsu as a rival of Dr. Bosconovitch. He is the creator of Bryan Fury.
301	----
302	Tropes associated with Dr. Abel:
303	* BadBoss: Abandons Bryan once he finds out that the latter fails to kill Bosconovitch and is slowly dying.
304	* {{Foil}}: To Dr. Bosconovitch. Bosconovitch is caring to his creations and robots in general, while Abel creates Bryan merely as a pawn for [[TakeOverTheWorld world domination]].
305	* GreenEyedMonster: Is frustrated that Dr. Bosconovitch gets more recognition than he does to the point that his first order to Bryan is to assassinate him.
306	* KillSat: Dr. Abel designed one such weapon and had it operational. He uses it to destroy Jack-2 in his ending, and after Jane repairs Jack-2 and upgrades him into Gun Jack, Abel again uses it in an attempt to destroy Gun Jack in his ending as well, in the process revealing himself. However, his attempt on Gun Jack fails due to the robot being equipped with energy DeflectorShields.
307	** His KillSat weapon becomes a ChekhovsGun in ''7'', when Heihachi (who remarks the weapon was Abel's legacy) uses it to blast Kazuya and Akuma while they're fighting atop the G-Corp HQ building. They both survive, however, and Kazuya [[ImprobableAimingSkills uses his Devil power's beam to shoot the satellite down]].
308	* MadScientist: Par excellence.
309	* TakeOverTheWorld: Creates Bryan as a part of a planned zombie army that he would use to rule the world. Unfortunately, Bryan is crazier than he thought.
310	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Hasn't been seen since Bryan punches him in his ''4'' ending. However, he is mentioned by Heihachi in ''7'', so he may still be around.

324	----
325	%%* DotingGrandparent: Is one to Christie, as shown in her and Eddy's ''5'' ending.
326	* KilledOffForReal: Dies in Eddy and Christie's ''6'' endings, and is one of the few characters to be confirmed as ''staying'' dead canonically, with Eddy's storyline in ''7'' mentioning hsi death.
327	* TheOldConvict: Incarcerated since before Eddy came and actually released two years after the latter.
328	* OldMaster: Of capoeira.
329	* SoapOperaDisease: His unspecified illness conveniently gives Eddy and Christie enough time to participate in two whole tournaments. Not that it stops him from dying.

343
344	->A scientist and executive of G Corporation and Leo's mother. She is murdered by an assassin sometime before the events of ''6'', and Leo suspects that her superiors, including Kazuya Mishima himself, are somehow responsible.
345	----
346	Tropes associated with Emma:
347	* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: Once worked with Mishima Zaibatsu before she resigned, possibly due to objecting to the Hybrid Gene experiments that put children's lives in danger.]]
348	* DeathByOriginStory: Her death sparks Leo's quest to find out everything about G Corporation [[spoiler: and Mishima Zaibatsu]].
349	* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: Leo remembers her fondly as a hardworking and caring single mother and regularly pays respects at her grave.
350	* {{Foil}}: To Nina Williams. They are both attractive blonde women who have a maternal connection to [[spoiler:Steve Fox]], and even share the [[Creator/MaryElizabethMcGlynn same voice actress]]. The difference is that while Nina is [[spoiler:Steve's biological mother]], she refuses to acknowledge him as her son and coldly rebuffs him when they finally meet face-to-face in her story mode in ''7''. Emma partook in the experiments to create [[spoiler:Steve]] but treated him as her own child. Nevertheless, both of them end up saving [[spoiler:Steve's]] life one way or another. Nina ultimately couldn't bring herself to assassinate [[spoiler:Steve]] when she was hired to do so and lets him go, while Emma smuggled him out of the Mishima Zaibatsu.
351	* GoodParents: To Leo. [[spoiler: Steve as well, if only briefly.]]
352	* MotherlyScientist: When she was working for the Mishima Zaibatsu, Emma cared for a boy known as "[=NT01=]" who was created through in-vitro breeding [[spoiler:using egg cells taken from Nina Williams]] for testing in experiments with the Devil Gene; Emma came to see him as an actual son, gave him a real name, and after declaring him dead, she smuggled him out of the Mishima Zaibatsu, saving his life. [[spoiler:That boy would become Steve Fox in the present day]].
353	* MissingMom: Murdered before the events of ''6''.
354	* ParentalSubstitute: [[spoiler: To Steve.]]
355	* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler: ''8'' heavily implies that this is the reason Kazuya had her assassinated, no longer having any use of her research during his time as acting CEO of the Zaibatsu.]]

369
370	->Lars' friend in the Tekken Force and one of the few to support his rebellion.
371	----
372	Tropes associated with Tougou:
373	* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Lars. There has to be a reason why he goes into trouble to defect from a world-dominating conglomerate to ally with a mere rebellious general.
374	* KilledOffForReal: In Scenario Campaign.
375	* LastNameBasis: Thanks to being in the military, and as a result his given name is never revealed.
376	* MissionControl: Briefs Lars in several chapters of Scenario Campaign.
377	* NumberTwo: He is Lars' second in command within [[LaResistance the splinter Tekken Force group that rebelled]] against the main faction still under Jin's command.
378	* SacrificialLion: Dies just before the climax of the Scenario Campaign as a further motivation for Lars to go on and take down Kazuya and Jin.
379	* SatelliteCharacter: Has little characterization beyond being Lars' loyal lieutenant and friend.

391
392	-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/MamoruMiyano (JP), Creator/DavidVincent (ENG)
393
394	->An enigmatic ex-Mishima Polytechnic student hunted by Jin Kazama and Kazuya Mishima for unknown purposes. Their assistants, Nina and Anna, respectively, send Alisa and Xiaoyu to infiltrate Kyoto International School, where Shin now attends.
395	----
396	Tropes associated with Shin:
397	* TheAgeless: [[spoiler: Thanks to the M gene.]]
398	* BlessedWithSuck: [[spoiler: The experiment with the M gene has made him immortal, essentially denying him the ability to die naturally, and makes him pursued by people curious about the experiment's machinations in the first place. Then it's revealed that the experiment's a distraction all along.]]
399	* BungledSuicide: Xiaoyu first meets Shin after he jumps from a building. She later learns that he has tried to kill himself multiple times, without success. [[spoiler: They're prevented by his immortality.]]
400	* {{Hunk}}: He's quite cut for an ordinary college student.
401	* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: Heihachi swiftly disposes of Shin once his purpose as a lure is fulfilled.]]
402	* MrFanservice: A major reason Xiaoyu agrees for the espionage mission is because her target is a hottie.
403	* PowerTattoo: Sports a black tattoo on his arms [[spoiler: and chest, similar to the one possessed by Devil Jin. It glows green when Shin powers up the gene.]]
404	* RedHerring: [[spoiler: The M gene experiment is a lure Heihachi set up so Kazuya and Jin would personally face him, thus giving him chance to take their Devil Genes once again.]]
405	* RememberTheNewGuy: Shin was a classmate of Jin back during his high school days. However it's justified since Jin's school life beyond Xiaoyu is never explored, not to mention that he and Shin may not be close.
406	* ShowerScene: Other than for {{Fanservice}}, it's used to show Xiaoyu his tattoo, [[spoiler: a side effect of the M gene experiment]].
407	* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler: Xiaoyu finds out that Shin is not the only one to become experimented with the M gene. He's just the only surviving one.]]
408	* TallDarkAndHandsome
409	* ToplessnessFromTheBack: During the aforementioned shower scene. Full-blown nakedness, actually; all the way to his rear end is shown.
410	* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Firmly holds this viewpoint. His first scene is a failed suicide, after all.
411	* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler: Once Kazuya and Jin are assembled, Shin is no longer of importance to Heihachi, who proceeds to break his back.]]

425
426	->A journalist from an unknown country conducting an investigation into the Mishimas after the deaths of his family during the war caused by Jin in ''6''. He is the narrator of the Mishima Saga Story Mode in ''7''.
427	----
428	Tropes associated with the Journalist:
429	* BestServedCold: Keeps quiet about his anger at Jin for causing the war that killed his family. It is only when the latter is vulnerable that he attempts to take revenge, but is fortunately stopped by Lars.
430	* CreepyMonotone: He speaks in a dry, emotionless monotone for the entire story (save one instance, see below), even when recounting his family's deaths and contemplating the murder of Jin Kazama.
431	%%* DullSurprise:
432	* FirstPersonPeripheralNarrator: He's the narrator, but the combatants, especially the Mishima family, are the main characters.
433	* GoodParents: He cares for his son very much, and his death obviously angers him.
434	* ImprovisedWeapon: He comes close to murdering an unconscious Jin with a screwdriver that he found lying around.
435	* IntrepidReporter: Will stop at ''nothing'' to write an expose about the Mishima and related families. He visits Japan on the spot just to confirm his findings for example.
436	* LateToTheTragedy: Comes home too late to see his hometown razed to the ground.
437	* NerdGlasses: Later chapters of the story reveal that he wears them.
438	* NonActionGuy: Is one in the Story Mode of ''7'', being the only non-combatant in Lars' company.
439	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: He raises his voice only once in the entire story, when he begs Heihachi to tell him what the war means to him.
440	* OutlivingOnesOffspring: His son is killed during the war.
