History Characters / AceCombat5TheUnsungWar

* TheNarrator: Although other characters get to narrate some parts, Genette is the main one. He's also the narrator in ''Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception'' as well.

-->'''Voiced by''': Creator/WakanaYamazaki (Japanese, [=AC5=]), Creator/SeikoYoshida (Japanese, [=AC7=]), Creator/KarenStrassman (English)

* BaldOfAwesome: Balding, but still awesome [[spoiler: being an old Belkan ace]].

* FatherNeptune: While he doesn't sport a SeadogBeard, he instead has a BadassMustache.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Maybe. "ラーズグリーズ" ''is'' exactly how you'd spell "Ráðgríðr", a valkyrie attested in the ''[[Myth/NorseMythology Grímnismál & Nafnaþulur]]'', in kana syllablry. This has led to all sorts of fandom debate about whether the spelling in the released game is right, whether it was meant to be "Rathgrith" or similar (since Japanese lacks a true "th" syllable and must substitute ズ for it), and how much of a connection the player is meant to draw between the entity described in the game to the real-world myth.

* LetsYouAndHimFight: [[spoiler:Their method of getting revenge on Osea and Yuktobania, achieved by conducting {{False Flag Operations}} to provoke the two superpowers into waging war against each other.]]

* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: Take too long to shoot him and his squadron down in the final mission and they will self destruct.

* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: Take too long to shoot him and his squadron down in the final mission and they will self destruct.

* FatBastard: As heavyset as he is, he probably should have failed a physical exam. He never has a kind word to say to anyone and believes whatever nasty things are said about Wardog Squadron.

* EarlyBirdCameo: Their logo appeared in ''VideoGame/AceCombat04ShatteredSkies'' [[spoiler:on the final missile in Megalith]].

* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: [[Osea finally shuts down Gründer following the de-classification of all records related to the Circum-Pacific War.]]

* OneHundredAndEight: Wardog Squadron is the Osean Air Defense Force, 108th tactical Fighter Wing Detachment. [[FourIsDeath Four Wings of Sand Island]] devastating the enemy. Maybe Namco believes in Significant Numbers?

->''On a distal island,far away from civilization, the protectors of the peace take to the skies...''

* TheHero: Being the PlayerCharacter.

* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: Almost averted. Blaze is shown in a couple of photographs- in one, his face is covered by another person, and in the other there are several unknown characters with no indication which (if any) of them is him. Some later cutscenes show the entire squadron, though if Blaze's head is even in the frame the view is too far away to actually see what he looks like. And in one of the earliest cutscenes, multiple pilots are seen talking, but the view switches to a front shot of Bartlett ''just'' before it can pan over to show one specific pilot's face. During the missions, the pilot's faces are obscured by their oxygen masks and helmet visors as well, so forget trying to catch a glimpse of him there either.

** There is only [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/acecombat/images/2/2f/Gm302.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110207200825 one]] picture that shows his full body, but thanks to Chopper being a showoff and flexing his arm in ''just'' the wrong position, Blaize's face is obscured. The only thing that can be told for sure about Blaze from the picture is that he's male and that he's about Chopper's height with short cropped dark hair, and white skin.

* [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname Only Known by His Callsign]]: Like so many player characters in the series who aren't [[VideoGame/AceCombatAssaultHorizon William Bishop]], Blaze doesn't have a given name or a surname.

* TheCaptain: Takes this role and rank after the first two missions.
