History Characters / Bioshock2

!!!'''Voiced in English by:''' Anna Graves

* MotiveDecay: If she was ever genuine with her collectist ideals, it has long since given away to her self-righteousness and hypocrisy. It’s clear that she cares less about making the world a better place through collectivism and more about enforcing her will on the world by the time Subject Delta is revived and begins to hunt her down.

* HumansAreBastards: As much as she claims to love everybody without bias, there's really no denying that her opinion of human nature overall is about as low as it gets, to the point that greed is etched into humanity's very genes (though scientifically speaking she's not exactly wrong) and the idea that someone, anyone could possess inherent selflessness is absurd to her.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: For all he's generally collected, he can be every bit as brutal as your average splicer in battle. Before he starts actively joining the war Suresh also privately expresses contempt for the majority of Rapture's citizens, comparing them to Pavlov's dogs and deriding how easy they are to control through BreadAndCiruses.

* FatBastard: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. He’s got a bit of a gut and is very morally questionable.

* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler: He faces this if the player decides to spare him; the booth he's been hiding in is no longer safe due to Eleanor remotely opening it, and if the Splicers don't kill him first, he'll end up drowning when the dome over Rapture gives way.]]

* DefiantToTheEnd: Discussed. He talks about how, he doesn't care about being taken to Persephone, and is all about "Writing his name in 40 foot letters"
* SanitySlippage: His Audio Diaries show his steady mental decline due to overuse of ADAM, making him bolder and more aggressive towards the leading corporations of Rapture, Ryan especially. The final diary has him sing the final verse of 'Solidarity Forever'
* SelfMadeMan: Idolized Rapture's objectivist ideals until....

* MamaBear: In her final Audio Diary, she vowed to find Susie at the Little Sister's Orphanage, and personally kill Susie's kidnappers

%%* BritishStuffiness

* EvenEvilHasStandards: In his final Audio Diary, he is shown to be horrified by the [[AndIMustScream fate]] of Big Daddies

%%* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness

-->"Now I've done a lot of bad things to people, but I ain't never made no one scream like dat"

* ElementalPowers: Same as the two previous protagonists
* FiringOneHanded: For the same reason as Delta.

* ThisIsADrill: The starting weapon, just like Delta

* CruelMercy: While it goes unaddressed, it's implied that Delta choosing not to kill him is only prolonging the inevitable. He may still have his health, but the booth he was holed up in has been opened remotely by Sofia Lamb, thus leaving him alone, unguarded and utterly terrified. He has to contend with the crazed Splicers roaming around who'll doubtlessly kill him for merely looking at them funny, and he has no weapons and hardly seems like the kind of person who could handle themselves in a fight, meaning his chances of living long enough to find a way out of Rapture before it's totally flooded are rather slim.

* LaserGuidedKarma: If Delta wishes to, he can smash Poole’s face in with his drill for selling him out, and even if he’s spared, it’s doubtful he'll make it out of the city; not only does his only cover no longer exist thanks to Lamb, but he’s unarmed and extremely cowardly, so it’s only a matter of time before he joins all the people he had killed at Dionysus Park, either from running into a pack of bloodthirsty Splicers, or from drowning as a result of Rapture completely breaching before he can find a way out.

* EvilBrit: She's voiced by Fenella Woolgar.

* KickTheDog: In the intro, she could have easily pulled the trigger on Subject Delta herself, but then she decided to make him [[PsychicAssistedSuicide shoot himself]], in front of Eleanor no less.

* GutturalGrowler: Although he doesn't speak, the voice grunts he does make are incredibly deep and rough.

[[folder:The Thinker]]

* BarrierMaiden: Of ''all'' of Rapture. It's noted that many of the luxuries (automatic doors, mail) and utter necessities (electricity, security) are all handled by The Thinker; if it goes down, everyone goes down with it. Porter even managed to stave off Lamb's Family by threatening to cut off resources to their areas if they don't back off; seeing as there are no Family members in the DLC, it worked.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler:After The Thinker is temporarily shut off by Wahl, Tenenbaum takes over as MissionControl, hinting that it wasn't actually Porter.]]
* FunWithAcronyms: Its full name is the Rapture Operational Data Interpreter Network, or R.O.D.I.N. Auguste Rodin was the artist who created the sculpture ''The Thinker'', a replica of which is in the main lobby of Minerva's Den.

!!!'''Voiced in English by:''' Carl Lumbly

* CruelMercy: While it goes unaddressed, it's implied that Delta choosing not to kill him is only prolonging the inevitable. He may still have his health, but the booth he was holed up in has been opened remotely by Sofia Lamb, thus leaving him alone, unguarded and utterly terrified. Even if he had a way out of Rapture before it breached and he drowned, he still has to contend with the crazed Splicers roaming around who'll doubtlessly kill him for merely looking at them funny. Bearing in mind that the cowardly Stanley is totally unarmed...
