History Characters / BattlefieldHardline

%% * TheHero

* OverprotectiveDad: To an extreme degree. He disapproved of the relationship between his daughter Dune and Boomer, so he essentially ran Boomer out of town. He also monitors Dune's phone calls and has her wear a ''tracking bracelet.''
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: The majority of his cronies are, though Tony himself seems to [[SubvertedTrope subvert]] this. He assures Boomer, with whom he has a colorful history (and whom he is currently holding at gunpoint), that the enmity between them is not racial, but strictly personal.
* RightWingMilitiaFanatic: He and his men are mostly-racist, reactionary, heavily-armed isolationists who constantly talk about things like impeaching (and/or assassinating) the President. It's like they were going down a checklist.

%%* DaChief

->'''Played By:''' David DeSantos

[[folder:Tyson]]
!!Tyson Latchford
->'''Played By:''' Adam J. Harrington

-> ''"You know, I haven't robbed a place in almost eight days."''

Tyson spent his youth slinging cocaine, but has evolved into an upper middle-class criminal who spends more time with spreadsheets than scales and gram bags. His job is to make sure the drugs get to where they’re supposed to go; after that it’s somebody else’s problem. When he’s not working, Tyson imagines himself taking up golf.

* ButtMonkey: Whether it's an ambush, a breaching charge, or a booby trap, Tyson finds himself on the wrong side of a lot of ugly surprises. He usually manages to [[MadeOfIron get up and walk away]], though.
* DeadpanSnarker: Hardly anything comes out of his mouth that isn't dripping with sarcasm or condescension.
* {{Expy}}: Adam John Harrington has all but replicated his role as the snarky Detective Earle from ''VideoGame/LANoire''.
* TokenEvilTeammate: He's really not that bad of a guy, all things considered, but he's completely unrepentant about his criminal activities. It's implied the only reason he [[spoiler: joined up with Nick and Khai's revenge crusade was to be able to resume his operations in Miami, with the fringe benefit of possibly robbing Dawes' operation and getting rich]].
* ToughLove: He sets up his old friend Tap to get arrested-- partially to help break Nick out of jail as an inside man, and partially because he knows going to prison is pretty much Tap's only chance to kick his cocaine addiction.
* UndyingLoyalty: Despite his criminal activities and a non-personal motive for taking down [[spoiler: Dawes]], he fully jumps into danger alongside Nick and Khai on some missions and his loyalty is never questioned by any of the other characters.

[[folder:Neltz]]
!!Remy Neltz

A drug dealer who's trying to make his name in the Miami drug trade.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: Neltz is referred to as this; he dumped harmless food additives with scary-sounding names into a Florida swamp then used political connections to have the land condemned as a toxic hazard so he could use it to run drugs, then used an anime company to launder the proceeds, even going so far as to serve as the voice actor for the company's mascot. On multiple occasions characters take all this as a sign that he's both creatively brilliant and also completely nuts.
* CrazyPrepared: [[spoiler:He did make recordings to him speaking with Stoddard as proof in case he gets arrested.]]

[[folder:Boomer]]
!!Marcus "Boomer" Boone
->'''Played By:''' Eugene Byrd

After a few tours in Iraq as an intelligence analyst, Boomer came home and started applying the skills he learned from Uncle Sam to the criminal trade, acting as an IP specialist for a variety of nefarious characters. Though he's a gray-hat hacker, Boomer really wants to be one of the good guys and his old friend Khai gives him that chance.

* ActionSurvivor: Ex-Army, and appears to be moderately competent with a gun, but prefers to avoid fighting if at all possible.
* BlackAndNerdy
* DangerousDeserter: {{Subverted|Trope}}. Boomer ''is'' a deserter (he went AWOL from the Army some years ago) but is actually a pretty nice guy and not really a physical threat to anyone, except under extreme circumstances.
* DistressedDude: The first time Nick meets him, he's locked in the trunk of a car, courtesy of Kang.
* IJustWantToBeBadass: Despite panicking just about every time bullets start flying, Boomer gripes more than once about being [[MissionControl "the guy in the van."]]
* MrFixit: Is able to repair a Vietnam War era warplane to working condition in a rather short period of time. [[AcePilot And fly it out of what is pretty much a warzone in one piece!]]
* TheSmartGuy

[[folder:Roark]]
!!Neil Roark
->'''Played By:''' Creator/MarkRolston

-> ''"Enjoy the money while you can. Buy gold. Hell, buy a fuckin' sailboat... because I'm coming after you."''

Once a promising developer of anti-piracy software, Neil Roark took his millions (if not billions) and began to wage war against the loss of American opportunity. In his case, this means he’s holed himself up in a Hollywood mansion where he films rambling webcasts about the importance of privatization.

* TheDon: One of the few criminals in L.A. high-ranking enough to call a meeting between [[spoiler: Stoddard]] and other local crime bosses.
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: Yeah, Nick and Khai did 3 million dollars worth of damage to his house, but he's still active (and marrying Kang's wife).]]
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: His response to seeing Nick in his house?
--> "Well, you look Mexican, so I'll assume you're a burglar."
* WrongGenreSavvy: As noted above, he thinks Nick is trying to steal from him, not investigate him or his associates.

[[folder:Alpert]]
!!Tony Alpert
->'''Played By:''' Creator/FredTatasciore

-> ''"Whoa, hey, look at that... shit just got real."''

A separatist quasi-cult leader who leads a commune of like-minded individuals in the middle of the California desert, Tony Alpert’s stomped out the ideals of his hippie roots and replaced them with hate.

* BadassBoast: [[spoiler:When he shows up in a ZTZ-99 MBT to confront Nick after the latter commandeers an [=M1A1=] from his arsenal.]]
--> '''Tony:''' So here's the deal. You titwizards are all out of options. Which means I'm gonna kill you, chop off your heads, and piss down your necks!
* SmallTownTyrant: Rules over a commune in the middle of nowhere, and it's mentioned he's amassed a sizable fortune through running drugs.
* OverprotectiveDad: To an extreme degree. He disapproved of the relationship between his daughter Dune and Boomer, so he essentially ran Boomer out of town. He also monitors Dune's phone calls and has her wear a ''tracking bracelet.''
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: The majority of his cronies are, though Tony himself seems to [[SubvertedTrope subvert]] this. He assures Boomer, with whom he has a colorful history (and whom he is currently holding at gunpoint), that the enmity between them is not racial, but strictly personal.
* RightWingMilitiaFanatic: He and his men are mostly-racist, reactionary, heavily-armed isolationists who constantly talk about things like impeaching (and/or assassinating) the President. It's like they were going down a checklist.
* TankGoodness: He hoards old military equipment, up to and including helicopter gunships and tanks[[spoiler:-- one of the latter of which he rides into battle against Nick and Boomer]].

[[folder:Dune]]
!!Dune Alpert
->'''Played By:''' Creator/AlexandraDaddario

A young woman raised on a desert commune by gun-loving hippies, Dune is a badass blend of sunshine and survivalist. After she nearly eloped with Boomer a few years back, her father's kept her on a shortened leash.

%% Doesn't explain what the reaction is. * Berserk Button: If you're a criminal, ''do not'' try to use a NotSoDifferentRemark on him.

%% * The Hero
%% * He Who Fights Monsters: In the second half of the game.

* DaChief
