While she continues to serve the EDF, Jane has begun to work with the AMC Squad in their more recent operations, and has served as backup in a few missions.

* KillItWithIce: Her Slot 0 weapon is an [[ArmCannon arm-mounted]] [[FreezeRay freeze beam]]. It works similarly to her [[ArmCannon Handlaser]] weapon rather than Duke's freezethrower, and it makes short work of unarmored, lightly-armored, and supernatural enemies; however, heavily-armored enemies are protected from the beam.

A [[CyberNinja cybernetically enhanced]] ''[[CyberNinja kunoichi]]'' and [[DemonSlaying demon hunter]] from the Akai Kiba clan, Kagura Takahashi is introduced in Episode 4, ''Law of the Knights'', as the AMC Squad's latest recruit, courtesy of her uncle Rusty Nails. She carries with her a [[EvilWeapon cursed katana]] called "Yo," with whom she's formed an unusual bond, and possesses a great deal of knowledge on the Shadow Realm and its inhabitants. Ever the curious sort, Kagura travels with the AMC Squad to Elysion on their mission to find the Mandala and learn what new things she can find on the ring world.
----
* CyberNinja: She's got [[ArtificialLimbs cybernetic arms]] that she uses to [[WallCrawl climb up walls]] and [[SuperStrength manage recoil on large-caliber guns]].
* DemonSlaying: Her trade before she joined the AMC Squad; specifically, she hunts demons from the [[VideoGame/ShadowWarrior1997 Shadow Realm]] before they cause more damage to Earth.
* DualWielding: One of her special weapons is a pair of daggers called the "Dragon Blades." She can either swing them one by one or swing them downward simultaneously, and, if she has Orange Mana, can send out a RingOfFire to ward off groups of enemies. Great for taking down supernatural foes.
* KindheartedCatLover: She owns a cat, who is named "Miki-chan," and is one of the nobler characters in the Squad. Background info states that her cat originally belonged to her mother.
* LimitBreak: In a sense, her sword Yo can send out a powerful SwordBeam that slices through enemies, even the toughest of foes such as [[DegradedBoss Cyberdemons]] and [[AllTrollsAreDifferent Trolls]], but he needs [[SoulPower souls]] to power up the attack. Slicing enemies with the weapon charges Yo up for this attack, and once he's powered up (indicated by Kagura's HUD flashing purple), she can then send out the SwordBeam to rend apart enemies.

-->Voiced by: [=AliCatGamer=]
A [[CyberNinja cybernetically enhanced]] ''[[CyberNinja kunoichi]]'' and [[DemonSlaying demon hunter]] from the Akai Kiba clan, Kagura Takahashi is introduced in Episode 4, ''Law of the Knights'', as the AMC Squad's latest recruit, courtesy of her uncle Rusty Nails. She carries with her a [[EvilWeapon cursed katana]] called "Yo," with whom she's formed an unusual bond, and possesses a great deal of knowledge on the Shadow Realm and its inhabitants. Ever the curious sort, Kagura travels with the AMC Squad to Elysion on their mission to find the Mandala and learn what new things she can find on the ring world.
----
* CyberNinja: She's got [[ArtificialLimbs cybernetic arms]] that she uses to [[WallCrawl climb up walls]] and [[SuperStrength manage recoil on large-caliber guns]].
* DemonSlaying: Her trade before she joined the AMC Squad; specifically, she hunts demons from the [[VideoGame/ShadowWarrior1997 Shadow Realm]] before they cause more damage to Earth.
* DualWielding: One of her special weapons is a pair of daggers called the "Dragon Blades." She can either swing them one by one or swing them downward simultaneously, and, if she has Orange Mana, can send out a RingOfFire to ward off groups of enemies. Great for taking down supernatural foes.
* KindheartedCatLover: She owns a cat, who is named "Miki-chan," and is one of the nobler characters in the Squad. Background info states that her cat originally belonged to her mother.
* LimitBreak: In a sense, her sword Yo can send out a powerful SwordBeam that slices through enemies, even the toughest of foes such as [[DegradedBoss Cyberdemons]] and [[AllTrollsAreDifferent Trolls]], but he needs [[SoulPower souls]] to power up the attack. Slicing enemies with the weapon charges Yo up for this attack, and once he's powered up (indicated by Kagura's HUD flashing purple), she can then send out the SwordBeam to rend apart enemies.

-->Voiced by: Eddie Teach
The sixth agent to be recruited by the AMC Squad, Geoffrey is a former graphics designer from Holland who, during his previous life, received a commission from a mysterious client to design a logo for them. Said client turns out to be a fascist state, and Geoffrey's name was found in documents pertaining to the organization; thus, the young artist was forced to go on the run and leave his home behind. Afterward, he smuggled himself on a ship headed to Mars' Aelita colony, where he laid low, donned a new uniform and mask, and forged himself a new identity as a gunman for hire. When he met James in a seedy bar in Aelita, Geoffrey initially rejected his offer to join the AMC Squad; however, when the British commando offered to clear his name in exchange for his services, Geoffrey reluctantly accepted.
----
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He may be a [[DeadpanSnarker wisecracking]] dork who never stops making jokes at his friends' (and sometimes, his enemies) expense, but make no mistake; underneath his joking exterior is a [[{{Cyborg}} cybernetically-enhanced]] hacker and formidable combatant who can (and will) put a bullet in between someone's eyes if they're unfortunate enough to get in his way.
* ClearMyName: His goal in life is to clear himself of the association with the fascist organization that he inadvertently got involved in.
* {{Cyborg}}: His background states that the harsh Martian atmosphere and rough life on the Aelita colony forced him to visit [[BackAlleyDoctor illicit augmentation clinics]]; this is reflected in his slightly-higher-than-average HP count and damage resistance.
* TheFaceless: Never seen without his mask, likely out of a desire to cover his identity while on the run.
* NominalHero: He's only in the AMC Squad to get his name cleared of his association with the fascist regime, and some of his dialogue indicates that he doesn't have a lot of faith in the Complex's goals.
* OutOfFocus: He never really gets a lot of screentime post-Episode 1, not even having new dialogue for Episode 2 until the 10th Anniversary update changed that, and even then, it's only in the boat ride to the Island Facility, where he banters with Rusty over life on Mars. His presence is slightly increased in Episode 3, [[ADayInTheLimelight where he's assigned a mission in Africa to investigate suspicious activity]], but he would fade to the background again in Episode 4 (though this is likely because of the more fantastic nature of episode).
* PlayfulHacker: He specializes in hacking into virtual reality terminals, and he displays a carefree and sometimes [[ManChild childish]] attitude when out on the field. Nevertheless, his skills in breaking into neural networks is rather impressive, only rivaled by his fellow squadmate Mikko Sandt.
* PluckyComicRelief: His role in the team dynamic is this, often cracking jokes about his objectives (and sometimes, at other people's expense) and is the last one to understand the gravity of his situation. That said, [[BewareTheSillyOnes his enemies tend to make the fatal mistake of underestimating him whenever he shows up]].
* ThatManIsDead: [[ImpliedTrope Implied]], as far as he's concerned; the young Dutch graphic artist that he used to be is no more, and he has become someone else entirely. It's even reflected in his bio, in that he sees Mars as his birthplace, not Holland.

-->Voiced by: Mikko Sandt
The seventh agent to be recruited into the AMC Squad, Mikko Sandt is the ruthless [[CorruptCorporateExecutive CEO]] of his own [[MegaCorp corporation]], [=MSCorp=] Industries. Hailing from Finland, Mikko was, at one point, confronted by and eventually killed by the EDF's then-top agent, [[VideoGame/DukeNukem3D Duke Nukem]], for his constant exploitation of resources and subsequent damaging of Earth's environment. However, thanks to the efforts of his loyal followers, Mikko is now resurrected and enhanced with top-of-the-line cybernetic augmentations, and continues to hunt down his enemies if it means expanding his corporate empire and developing new technologies.
----
* ALighterShadeOfBlack: He's a ruthless combatant and rules his company with an iron fist, and is only interested in [[{{Greed}} profit]], and he may or may not be the first to sell out the Squad and the Complex if it means making more bank, but Mikko is only on the side of good because his enemies are far worse than him.
* ArchEnemy: Gregory Costanza, the CEO of Vandelay Industries. According to Mikko, Costanza was a former business partner of his, but at some point he backstabbed him and sent him to his death by hiring a group of environmentalists to send Duke Nukem to take him out. Then, during Mikko's resurrection, Costanza attempted a hostile takeover of his company and its subsidiaries and drain Mikko of his funds, and when that didn't work, hired [[PrivateMilitaryContractors mercenaries]] to destroy his research facilities and kill his followers. This rivalry drives Mikko to engage in CorporateWarfare against him and Vandelay Industries, and forms the backdrop of Mikko's early missions.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: He's bankrolling much of the AMC's operational costs, but expects a cut of the profits from discovering and researching new technologies. He's also intolerant of any competition, and goes as far as to destroy any rival companies who try to bust into the markets he's involved in.
* {{Cyborg}}: He's been outfitted with a lot of cybernetics since his resurrection. This explains his high damage resistance and HP count, as well as his ability to hack into VR terminals.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The intro cutscene for the Episode 1 mission "Snow Base" serves as this for Mikko. His briefing for his squadmates Zaxtor and Highwire shows a lack of tolerance for "treehuggers," reveals that he was murdered by Duke Nukem in the past only to be revived by his followers, states that he's going to kill anyone who has ransacked the research facility they're heading to, and, when Zaxtor tells him "good luck!", coldly rebukes him by saying "only the weak believe in luck." [[TheUnfettered Ruthless]], [[LackOfEmpathy lacking empathy for his fellow man]], and above all, is a [[TheSocialDarwinist believer in strength prevailing above all]].
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He may be greedy and ruthless, but he values loyalty from his followers and is against planetary destruction. When he learns from a scientist on Energeia that [[spoiler:the people still loyal to Vandelay have rigged a massive weapon to destroy Earth via shooting a massive beam through an Einstein-Rosen bridge, Mikko rushes to the location of this weapon and attempts to shut it down; when he finds out that the only way is to reroute power to fire the weapon inward, he reluctantly accepts this and reverses the power flow of the weapon. He even looks back at Energeia's [[EarthShatteringKaboom destruction]] rather solemnly and states that "this is going to cost [him]."]]
* {{Greed}}: His main purpose in life is to make as much money as possible, whether it's by buying up his competition or destroying them and taking their efforts with him, as demonstrated in his [[CorporateWarfare war against his rival, Vandelay Industries]].
* {{Jerkass}}: He's arrogant and rude to everyone he meets, treats everyone he sees as below him like they're his own servants, and isn't above brainwashing his employees into blindly following him. That said, [[EvenEvilHasStandards he has his limits]] when it comes to certain things.
** [[spoiler:His actions on the EDF Panama during Episode 4 show that he is unwilling to rescue EDF personnel unless they pledge to serve him for the rest of their lives, and even then he expresses disdain for the soldiers who survived the crash, if his conversation with Bombshell is of any indication.]]
* {{Narcissist}}: He's even formed a CultOfPersonality with ''his own employees'', and even has statues of himself on every property he owns.
* NominalHero: He's only in the AMC Squad to further his own interests, and has no compassion for his fellow man, except for his followers, and even then, it's more to boost his ego than any sort of appreciation for them.
* SoftSpokenSadist: Doesn't really emote beyond a soft vocal register even as he's slaughtering hostile forces left and right, and has some of the more disturbing lines in the whole game.
-->'''Mikko''': ''"There's only one way for you: extinction."''
* TheSocialDarwinist: He believes that the weak deserve to be exterminated, and is willing to demonstrate this in his own operations.

[[caption-width-right:128:''[[OneManArmy One Man Army]]'']]
-->Voiced by: Cedric Lutes
The hero of the Oblivion Wars and the first agent to be recruited by James for the Squad, Zaxtor Znort is a [[FunnyAnimal fossaman]] hailing from the country of Madagascar. He possesses a [[TheBigGuy large frame]], [[HotBlooded a fiery attitude]], and a chip on his shoulder after the [[ScaryDogmaticAliens Cycloids]] [[DoomedHometown ravaged his homeland]] in a bid for conquest. With nothing else to lose, Zaxtor joins the Squad and serves as the group's frontliner.
----
* AbsurdlySharpClaws: His claws not only served as his EmergencyWeapon back in the Oblivion Wars, here he can also use them to [[WallCrawl climb walls]].
* AchillesHeel: He's WeakToFire, and thus takes more damage if he is lit aflame. His report suggests that the oils in his fur contribute to his increased flammability, and thus he must take care when facing off against fire hazards or [[KillItWithFire enemy combatants making use of flame weapons]].
* ArchEnemy: [[ScaryDogmaticAliens Cycloids]], the aliens who destroyed his home country of Madagascar during the Oblivion Wars and tried to exterminate his fellow fossas. For this reason, he has developed an unwavering hatred for the alien empire, and spares no quarter when fighting against them.
* BerserkButton: If his own missions are of any indication, he ''hates'' seeing his homeland defiled by alien presences. He gets deployed to a forest in Madagascar and discovers a base built there, presumably by the Cycloids and assisted by the local cult there, and his reaction is to angrily proclaim that he will kill every last alien in there and blow up the base.
* {{BFG}}: His arsenal is decked out with these. It's telling that his ''least'' heavy weapon, his auto rifle, is a medium-weight weapon, meaning he can still lose [[SprintMeter stamina]] easily if he is not careful.
* TheBigGuy: He's large and exceptionally well-built, which is reflected in his staggeringly high base HP count of ''255'' and his [[{{BFG}} arsenal of big guns]].
* BloodKnight: Really enjoys killing enemies, especially if they're [[ScaryDogmaticAliens Cycloids]].
* {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/DukeNukem3D Duke Nukem]], down to the outfit and his attitude. Even in the [[ArtEvolution art overhaul]] the 3.5 patch has brought, Zaxtor still wears Duke's outfit on missions. Might also be a case of ExpyCoexistence, since the game features a statue of the Duke out in front of the EDF's headquarters.
* NoSell: Psychic attacks have no lasting effect on him. He even lets out an [[DissonantLaughter audacious laugh]] when blasted by a [[GhastlyGhost Lost's]] attack.
--> '''Zaxtor''': ''"Hahahaha! I'm not afraid of anything!"''
* OneManArmy: His epithet is this, and he backs this up by possessing the highest HP count and a vast amount of big guns.
* PsychicBlockDefense: He's resistant to psychic attacks, and can even [[NoSell shrug off]] a [[GhastlyGhost Lost's]] attack without Spirit Armor.
* VocalDissonance: His voice is high-pitched and scratchy, which contrasts with his muscled "'80s Action Hero" appearance and attitude. Likely intended to be the case with fossapeople.

[[caption-width-right:128:''[[KnightInShiningArmor Medieval Knight]]'']]
-->Voiced by: Merlijn van Oostrum
A knight in service to the Netherlands and the second agent to be recruited by James, Merlijn van Oostrum is a hardened warrior who has maintained the peace, along with his brother Maarten. Merlijn specializes in close-quarters combat, eschewing modern weaponry for the good old-fashioned long sword, though this hasn't stopped him from using firearms when the situation calls for it. He also possesses the second-highest HP count and strength, at 200 HP and capable of wielding the heaviest blades with ease.
----
* AnAxeToGrind: He can wield two different axes: his default Great Axe, which can slice through enemies like a hot knife through butter and can do a 360-degree swing to cut down groups of foes converging on him; and his Long Axe, which is slightly weaker, but trades in the sweeping swing for an ArmorPiercingAttack alt-fire.
* ArchaicWeaponForAnAdvancedAge: Merlijn uses daggers, swords, bows, and even blunderbusses & cannons in a world that uses firearms and EnergyWeapons. Despite this, Merlijn is still capable of kicking ass and taking names.
* {{BFS}}: His Dragonslayer, which is, of course, a ShoutOut to ''[[Manga/{{Berserk}} Berserk]]''. It's so heavy that it costs him [[SprintMeter stamina]] to swing, but in return, it makes short work of big foes such as Battlelords and Bruisers.
* TheBigGuy: Second to Zaxtor in that department, but he's still a strong dude who can go toe-to-toe with various foes and still come out on top. He may be weaker than the fossa, but he makes up for it with a lot more finesse.
* BowAndSwordInAccord: He can use bows alongside his swords, in case he needs to pick off distant enemies and doesn't have access to any other ranged weapons.
* GenreRefugee: Merlijn wouldn't be out of place in a medieval fantasy FPS or RPG, what with his suit of plate armor and arsenal of medieval European weaponry such as daggers, long swords, bows, and even a blunderbuss. He still fits in the ScienceFantasy setting of ''AMC Squad'', however.
* KnightInShiningArmor: His aesthetic. He deliberately fashioned himself after the knights of yore and works to protect the people of Earth from evil. He even uses a bit of the old language, as well, often responding to his squadmates with "aye" and reminiscing about older times compared to the modern world.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: He carries a shield with him when he has equipped a one-handed weapon, such as his long sword, a dagger, or a Riot Gun. This shield is put away when he equips a weapon that requires both of his hands, such as a greataxe or his [[{{BFS}} Dragonslayer]].
* MidSeasonUpgrade: [[spoiler: Midway through Episode 4, he finds a [[ScaryImpracticalArmor suit of red and black armor]] in a temple in a snowy lookout. This armor, the Berserker Suit, is much sturdier and enhances his strength, demonstrated when he steps out of the temple and fights a trio of Cyberdemons and a group of Archers by himself. This armor would later be his default look upon finishing Episode 4.]]
* MultiShot: His Scatter Bow shoots multiple arrows in a shotgun-like fashion. While this weapon isn't as accurate as his default bow, it makes up for it in raw power and increased range.
* OnlySaneMan: In contrast to his quirkier teammates (with the exception of James), Merlijn is a bit more serious and is often the one who tries to keep the squad together during hairy situations.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Normally, he's a very uptight & [[TheStoic stoic]] man who is capable of braving all sorts of dangers he and his squad go through. So his reaction upon seeing [[spoiler:the Necromancer - his old nemesis who was responsible for the damage done to his homeland - alive in the Forgotten Tomb, with a map of the galaxy in front of him, is one of pure shock and disbelief at this development]].
** [[spoiler: This would happen again in Episode 4 after Axon kills James for unknown reasons after defeating the Necromancer. Only this time, he experiences grief and anger upon seeing their supposed ally kill his superior.]]
* TheStraightAndArrowPath: He uses bows in a sci-fi setting, although considering that he can use them well enough to pick off distant enemies and [[ArmorPiercingAttack penetrate armored enemies]], it's justified.
* VocalDissonance: His voice is somewhat high-pitched and nasally in contrast to his knightly appearance, although it's not as off-putting compared to Zaxtor's voice. And then there's one line in particular where he changes to a [[GutturalGrowler lower-pitched, gravelly register]].

[[caption-width-right:128:''[[FrontlineGeneral Russian Commander]]'']]
-->Voiced by: Steb [=McDreb=]
A Russian military officer and the third to be recruited into the AMC Squad, Highwire (real name unknown) is a former EDF agent who has helped James out in the past, and later led a revolution against a fascist political movement in his home country. He eschews modern tech for good old Soviet-era equipment, and is capable of leading his comrades to victory during missions. In essence, Highwire is the modern definition of an OfficerAndAGentleman, regarded by many as an excellent leader, tactician, and friend.
----
* AchillesHeel: He lacks any sort of anti-supernatural capability and his mobility is poor. In the case of the former, this necessitates bringing in a temporary weapon that can hurt supernatural enemies (e.g. a GDF plasma gun or a Tommy Gun loaded with [[SilverBullet silver rounds]]), or alternatively, unlocking and equipping a [[BlingBlingBang Gold weapon]] before setting off on a mission (which costs an arm and a leg). In the case of the latter, many of his weapons are heavy, and his [[SprintMeter stamina]] regen is slow, forcing Highwire to step back and fight off enemies from a distance rather than head on.
* AFatherToHisMen: Highwire looks after his fellow soldiers and ensures that many of them survive whatever threats that have come his way.
* ArchEnemy: [[TheGeneralissimo Prokhor Vilmos]], the leader of the Imperial Union, during his rebellion days. Vilmos is a cruel tyrant who forcibly took over Russia and left its citizens to rot, and executed anyone he felt was weak or trying to fight back, [[OrcusOnHisThrone all while sitting back in his palace]] [[CannedOrdersOverLoudspeaker barking orders at his forces to sniff out any resistance among the citizenry]]. It is because of him and his movement that Highwire left the Earth Defense Force to lead the revolt against Vilmos, out of duty to protect his homeland and his fellow countrymen.
* BerserkButton: [[DownplayedTrope It's not explicitly shown]], but Highwire has one in the form of political inaction, especially during crises and other events that require direct action. It's why he left the EDF during the setup to "The Revolution" - he grew disgusted at his superiors for looking away from the chaos and suffering Russia was going through, and decided to take matters into his own hands.
* BoringButPractical: Compared to his fellow squadmates, Highwire doesn't have a lot of flashy stuff. His arsenal consists of a mix of Soviet-era weaponry and NATO weaponry (heck, his strongest weapon happens to be an ''[=RPK=]''), and his special ability lets him command one extra trooper for backup. These qualities make him one of the most formidable agents, however, if lacking in flair.
* FrontlineGeneral: He takes up this position as an AMC agent, preferring to lead his forces on foot, and his special ability lets him command one extra soldier with him. He even has the look down, [[CommissarCap combo cap]] and all.
* GlassCannon: He isn't as strong as his fellow agents - in fact, he can go down rather easily on Normal difficulty without armor - but he makes up for it by dishing out a lot of pain very quickly. Analysis of his character stats reveals that he only has 100 HP, but has Strong armor rating, which means that without any armor to protect him, Highwire cannot last more than a few shots from enemy forces.
* OldSoldier: His age isn't specified, but judging by his ranking and facial features, he's been in the military for a long time.
* RebelLeader: Served as this in his rebellion against the Imperial Union, which is documented in the Episode 1 mission "The Revolution."

The fourth agent to be recruited into the AMC Squad, Sangluss (or "Sang," for short) is a warlock hailing from Belgium who is struggling to reform himself from his evil ways. He is skilled in the [[BlackMagic dark arts]], capable of casting destructive spells, but suffers from a partial loss of strength as a result of a ritual to split himself from his dark side. Despite this setback, Sang continues to soldier on and fight the good fight, and hopes that one day, he'll be able to find and defeat his evil twin that spawned from the ritual.
----
* BeingEvilSucks: Held this mindset for a long time prior to his recruitment. He initially enjoyed the perks that came from practicing BlackMagic, but over time, he grew to resent the practice, and struggled to find someone who could temper his dark side and relieve himself of the beast within. He eventually found someone in [[TheMentor Mentor Caer Dore]], but still had trouble maintaining himself while under the influence. Eventually, he performed a ritual to cast out the evil side in him, which resulted in the creation of [[EvilTwin Le Sang]] and the [[BatOutOfHell bat]] that flies around his head, the latter of which served as a reminder of his evil days.
* BlackMage: He specializes in offensive spells and many of his weapons are magic items used for attacking enemies.
* BlackMagic: His practice, which he initially enjoyed using before he [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone realized]] [[EvilIsNotAToy how dangerous this type of magic can be]].
* DarkIsNotEvil: He may be a warlock who [[EvilWearsBlack wears a black robe]] and uses [[BlackMagic dark magic]] to fight, but he is considered one of the more noble characters in the whole game. Hell, the reason he joined the AMC Squad is to track down and defeat his EvilTwin! [[spoiler:This changes in the middle of Episode 3, when he defeats Le Sang and absorbs his power, in which he changes to a [[RedIsHeroic red-hooded cleric outfit]], which reflects his final changes into a force for good.]]
* GangstaStyle: This is how Sang holds his Uzi. Funnily enough, he doesn't do this when [[GunsAkimbo wielding two Uzis at once]], nor when he equips his other Slot 4 weapons.
* HeelFaceTurn: He's changed from an evil warlock to a sort-of good warlock, in that while he continues to use dark magic, he's a noble figure and prefers not to hurt innocents any further. [[spoiler:Solidified in Episode 3's "Gaza Pyramids" mission, in which he defeats his EvilTwin Le Sang and absorbs his power, complete with [[SignificantWardrobeShift a costume change]] to reflect this.]]
* SignificantWardrobeShift: [[spoiler:He changes from his black robe to a red hood and chainmail after he and his friends defeat Le Sang and he absorbs his power. This sticks from that time onward, and even jokes about it in his conversation with Oveus in Episode 4.]]
* WhatTheHellHero: Sang does this to James in "For Providence," in which he calls him out for thinking about killing Lilith after he mercilessly slaughtered all the cultists guarding the mines and the tomb, then [[WhatMeasureIsAMook argues that despite their fanatical mindsets and behavior, they're still people who joined the cults out of desperation]]. James fires back by asking him [[{{Hypocrite}} if one cultist's life is worth saving despite mowing down dozens of other cultists beforehand]], to which Sang retorts that it's their mission to neutralize threats and that Lilith can turn the other cheek. James ultimately relents and promises him that he'll find a way to save her if he can.

-->Voiced by: Cedric "Sangman" Haegeman
The fourth agent to be recruited into the AMC Squad, Sangluss (or "Sang," for short) is a warlock hailing from Belgium who is struggling to reform himself from his evil ways. He is skilled in the [[BlackMagic dark arts]], capable of casting destructive spells, but suffers from a partial loss of strength as a result of a ritual to split himself from his dark side. Despite this setback, Sang continues to soldier on and fight the good fight, and hopes that one day, he'll be able to find and defeat his evil twin that spawned from the ritual.

[[caption-width-right:128:''[[TheGunslinger Western Gunslinger]]'']]
-->Voiced by: [=MajorTom2417=]
The fifth agent to be recruited into the AMC Squad, Rusty Nails is a gunslinger hailing from PartsUnknown who has a score to settle with someone. Skilled with a revolver and quick on the draw, Rusty has prowled both the Earth and Mars, doling out his brand of justice to criminals and cultists who were unfortunate enough to cross him. In addition, he has a very special talent that helps him gain information on his targets in the ability to see and communicate with the dead. Rusty's background is scant, with little details as to where he came from or how he managed to hone his skills; regardless, he's a formidable gunfighter, able to shoot down any combatant before they can draw their weapons.
----
* ArchEnemy: Dr. Jekyll, a man who Rusty has had a scrap with in the past. Rusty is determined to defeat him no matter what, much to Jekyll's amusement.
* DarkIsNotEvil: He appears with a mysterious aura about himself, dressed in dark clothes, has glowing ProphetEyes in a [[KubrickStare menacing glare]], and is generally standoffish. Despite this, he's firmly on the side of good.
* TheGunslinger: Fits this mold alright, specifically of the [[ImprobableAimingSkills Trick Shot]] type as he's capable of picking off targets from far away with his revolvers.
* HonorBeforeReason: [[InformedFlaw An alleged drawback of sorts]], but several bits of the game's lore indicates that he's willing to throw down in a duel against his opponent even when the odds are stacked against him. Rusty himself [[ExploitedTrope exploits this]] during his fight against Jekyll, by tricking him into a gunslinger duel during the first phase of the fight.
* NailEm: His Slot 0 weapon is a nailgun. Interestingly enough, it resembles a Crye Associates MR-C, a rifle that never went beyond the drawing board in RealLife.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: He's confirmed to be around 200 years old when speaking to Alea, the [[ClassicalHunter hunter]] [[OurElvesAreDifferent elf]] in her shack in Easthaven.
* RevolversAreJustBetter: His [[WeaponOfChoice weapons of choice]] are revolvers, and he's so good with them that he can simply [[UnorthodoxReload reload them by flicking them open and then flicking them shut in a second]].
* TheStoic: He doesn't emote much beyond a simple [[DeadpanSnarker dry wit]].

[[caption-width-right:128:The logo of the AMC Squad.]]
The backbone of the Allied Military Complex, the AMC Squad is the special operations force who undertake missions considered too risky by the Earth Defense Force and its sister organization, the Earth Attack Force. Founded and led by the EDF's best agent, James Stanfield, the AMC Squad initially had 8 members to round out the ranks, but over time, as the threats they've faced turned out to be far greater than they've expected, they have expanded their ranks with each episode. The AMC Squad is the primary playable faction in this game, with a host of secondary playable characters appearing in different missions to fulfill support roles for the main characters.

* EliteArmy: The best that the Complex has to offer to the world.
* OneManArmy: Each agent is more than capable of holding their own in the battlefield, often going up against hordes of enemies and managing to come out on top. Zaxtor's even known as the "One Man Army," which says a lot about his and his squadmates' capabilities.
