-->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/JimCummings

* BoobsOfSteel: Easily the most violent person in the game and has a decent chest on her as noted by other characters.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Can do this a lot (player optional of course)
** [[spoiler:In addition to sparing Brayko's life, Mike can take Brayko to kill and torture Surkov to death. He can even stay and watch.]]
** [[spoiler:If you want to kill Marburg, Mike is required to do this by heckling and belittling Marburg in nearly every encounter they have and giving him a big ReasonYouSuckSpeech to provoke him.]]
** [[spoiler:Punching Leland after their meeting is one way to refuse his deal.]]
** [[spoiler:Staying in the heroic path and killing Darcy is this after the guy beat up Mina.]]
** [[spoiler:Can cold bloodedly execute Scarlet Lake when she's outed as the assassin against Ronald Sung.]]
*** On the slipside, in certain circumstances, [[spoiler:he can talk Scarlet into executing Leland for him. Should she do so, she'll give Leland a wounding shot to the stomach before he's finished off.]]
** [[spoiler:If he fights Westridge, then arresting him and leaving him for the courts to deal with becomes this, more so than executing him as he's knowingly inflicting a FateWorseThanDeath for the guy.]]

* PeekABangs: Pink ones.

* OutDamnedSpot: He wears black gloves at all times. If Mike has accumulated enough of his dossier before meeting him, he can accuse him of wearing them in a feeble attempt to keep the blood off of his hands.

* IronicHell: [[spoiler:If Mike arrests him, the epilogue mentions that he is facing years of courtroom trials. Westridge joined Alpha Protocol so he could protect his country without being held accountable for using questionable methods.]]

* BonusBoss: There are two opportunities to fight her in the Leningradski Station mission. Beating her increases your rep with her.

* CoolShades: She wears sunglasses all the time.

* StatuesqueStunner: SIE is an even 6 feet.

* DeadpanSnarker: She loves trading barbs with Mike.

* IntrepidReporter: Her profession; she also enjoys a chance to get her hands on evidence of Halbech's dirty deeds. [[spoiler:Subverted. She uses her reporter status as a cover for her... [[ProfessionalKiller other career.]] And there's no indication that she ever runs an expose on anything Halbech does; she is, after all, on their payroll. Though it should be noted that, cover or not, she is apparently one of the most well-known photojournalists in the world and her work has appeared in Time. She also get's annoyed if you slight her journalistic credentials and is very flattered if you complement them, implying that they mean more than just a cover to her. Her work for Halbech is as a contractor; she outright states that she hates their guts and at the end she suspects [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness they're going to betray her]].]]

* TheMole: [[spoiler: She works with Mike in Taipei, and happily helps him track down Omen Deng...who is not Ronald Sung's assassin and is, in fact, working to prevent the assassination. She also uses him to acquire inside information on Halbech.]]

* TheEvilGenius: [[spoiler:He made the calculations for Leland's plans.]]

%% * Arc Villain: Of the Rome segment.

%% Doesn't explainw aht the reaction is. * Berserk Button: He ''hates'' people who are "all talk." Naturally, a Suave Thorton is someone he despises absolutely. [[spoiler:This is the key to convincing him to stay and fight so you can finish him off.]]

%% Doesnt' seem like a real outburst* Berserk Button: Asking any questions about Sis or her locket will always lead to an approval loss.
%% * The Handler: He's Mike's liaison with G22.

* BerserkButton: Do ''not'' murder civilians or American agents if you value her friendship.

* WouldNotShootACivilian: This is her BerserkButton. Civilian or American casualties are a very fast way to piss her off.

* ArcVillain: Of the Rome segment.

* BerserkButton: He ''hates'' people who are "all talk." Naturally, a Suave Thorton is someone he despises absolutely. [[spoiler:This is the key to convincing him to stay and fight so you can finish him off.]]

* BerserkButton: Asking any questions about Sis or her locket will always lead to an approval loss.
* TheHandler: He's Mike's liaison with G22.

* BerserkButton: [[spoiler:If you choose to blackmail him after uncovering dirt on him, he will break his alliance with you and cut you off from any resources he offered]].

* NiceHat: Wears a rather nifty beret.

* TheUnfought: [[spoiler:Unlike Brayko, he doesn't directly fight Thorton, his [[TheDragon dragon]], Championchik, makes the mistake of thinking that Mike won't bring a [[NeverBringAKnifeToAFistFight gun to a boxing match]], and he can be negotiated with after only dealing with a few of his {{Mooks}}. He'll also make the same mistake with [[KnifeNut Brayko]] and end up winning "Gold Medal in Dying".]]

* KnifeNut: He's infamous for slowly killing his enemies with knives. After dealing with him, Mike will get his knife as a souvenir for his safehouse, noting that there's enough coke residue on the knife to still get really high.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Grigori enjoys any GallowsHumor Mike writes in his email responses.

** Amusingly, this is the one stance out of three that ''[[RefugeInAudacity doesn't reduce your]] [[ActuallyPrettyFunny reputation with him]]''.

* CriticalResearchFailure: [[spoiler: InUniverse, pointed out by Mike. For someone who is TheChessmaster, he fails to attain certain info that shows that his plot is going to cause a ''real'' war instead of a cold one.]]

* CriticalResearchFailure: Invoked by Mike and Mina, who have the realization that while Henry is aiming to make money off the threat of war, he doesn't realize he's about to ''start'' WorldWarIII.

* BadassBeard: You can pick any number of beards for Mike, including a giant mountain-man beard.

* ImmuneToDrugs: If left alive, his arrest report states that he has enough cocaine in his blood to make "a baleen whale see Jesus". Similarly, coke spiked with rat poison will simply debilitate him slightly.

* NotSoDifferent: He at one point refers to Mike as "me, twenty years ago". If you're a primarily Suave Mike, you [[IShallTauntYou can throw it right back in his face]]. After all, while Mike and Marburg have similar pasts and were given similar raw deals, they reacted differently: Mike is still trying to take down corruption, while Marburg has resorted to blowing up innocent people in museums. Marburg will re-iterate the similarities [[spoiler:if he survives the game and Mike simply shoots Leland, showing up afterwards to recommend to Mike that he simply drop off-radar and become legally dead like he once did, adding that Mike will probably find it "liberating".]]

* CrazyAwesome: It's never made clear whether Heck really is a highly-trained secret agent, or just some random guy who decided being an espionage operative would be neat and started acting like one, successfully integrating into the profession on the basis of sheer unrelenting batshit insanity. Both are equally possible, but the man's abilities and effectiveness are undeniable. [[invoked]]
