* MagnificentBastard:
** Raoul is an ArmsDealer who will supply anybody with weapons as long as they have the money for it. Helping out Music/FiftyCent on his journey to reclaim his jewel-encrusted skull solely for the money, Raoul often provides assistance whenever he can, from supplying C4 needed to create a distraction that leads to Said Kamal's hideout getting set aflame with many of his men still inside, to recruiting a surviving enemy helicopter pilot to work for him so that 50 can use said chopper to chase after [[BigBad Wilder]]'s men, while still charging 50 for it.
** [[PrivateMilitaryContractors Derek Carter]] is a cool-headed mercenary for Trident who values money above morality. Siding with whoever pays him the most, Carter, hired by 50's promoter Anwar to help the rapper take down Kamal, makes a deal with 50 to assist him in robbing a truck full of gold before Kamal could as a form of payment. Manipulating 50 into wiping out Kamal's communication towers and his best men, Carter acquires the gold by activating a hidden explosive and knocking the truck off course. Betraying 50 to take all the gold for himself, Carter would've made it out with the gold if not for 50's tenacity.

* CompleteMonster: [[DiscOneFinalBoss Said Kamal]] is a terrorist crime lord who views himself as a god. Having a helping hand in turning a city into a crime-ridden wasteland with his heroin trades and thefts, [[BadBoss Kamal]] regularly guns his men down [[YouHaveFailedMe for failing him]] and threatens to harshly punish them for running away. Kamal's worst act comes in his deals with the strip club owner Eddy, allowing him protection if he lends some of his strippers for him and his men, with Kamal having mutilated Eddy's favorite stripper Ruma while [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil raping her]].

actually 50 mentions in game that the women were merely shocked by the bomb.


** 50 needs to take out some guards. So he calls a fan who owns a nearby strip club to send over some girls. They appear, clad in bikinis, and drape themselves all over the men. 50 then sets off a car bomb which kills all the guards. The women, standing right next to the guards half-naked prior to the blast, are never shown again.
