The fact that a good chunk of the story is the product of her obsessively hunting Richtofen proves that she has a measure of strategic and tactical acumen.

Wolf King.



* ActuallyIAmHim: Subverted. In ''Mob of the Dead'', Sal speculates that he is in fact some sort of reincarnation of Ferguson. ''Blood of the Dead'' makes it clear that Brutus and the Warden are in fact one and the same.
* AscendedExtra: In ''Mob of the Dead'', while he was a prominent feature of the map, he mostly functioned as a tough boss zombie. ''Blood of the Dead'' greatly increases his presence and role in the overall story of the setting.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: He ''loved'' being the powerful lord of Alcatraz as a human and craved more power and strength. His request is granted, but he is doomed to stay in Alcatraz forever [[spoiler:until Primis arrives. ''Blood'' makes it clear he's been there, dying endlessly, for a ''long'' time.]]
* BigBad: Downplayed in ''Mob of the Dead'', he's the boss zombie, no doubt. But [[{{Evil Versus Evil}} the prisoners are no better than him.]] He is firmly in the role for ''Blood of the Dead'', since he’s targeting the far more heroic Primis crew.
* TheDragon: Implied to be this to the entity behind the events going on in the map. [[spoiler: ''Blood of the Dead'' confirms it. Radios listened to while aiming through the charged Spectral Shield reveal he had been communing with the Shadow Man. In the boss fight, he also chants in the Apothicon language.]]
* DrunkOnTheDarkSide: ''Blood of the Dead'' makes it clear that his service to his evil master drove him insane. He waxed poetically about how he loved having a prison full of inmates to rule over, pathetically grovelled [[spoiler:before the Shadow Man]] and psychotically cackled as he [[spoiler:prepared to kill himself.]]
* EnemyMine: He and Weasel join forces in the EasterEgg climax of ''Mob'' to ensure Weasel survives.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: From the warden of a prison to a servant of an eldritch power.
* HearingVoices: As a human, he prayed to and received instructions from [[spoiler:the Shadow Man]], who spoke to him in his head.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler: In ''Blood of the Dead'', his defeat is partially brought on by the very prisoners (Sal, Finn, and Al) he either had executed to appease his master, or that he tortured endlessly in ''Mob of the Dead''.]]
* IHaveManyNames: In ''Blood of the Dead'', Richtofen reveals that Brutus is an entity that has taken on many forms and names.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:After post-''Revelations''!Richtofen unleashes the energy from his crystal, his next death kills him for good, releasing all of the souls trapped in Alcatraz.]]
* MightyGlacier: He can't run that fast, and the player can usually outrun him easily, but he hits like a truck.
* NoSell: The Acid and Fan Traps in the map will ''not'' hurt him, and he will disable them if he comes across them. He can die from the Tower Trap, however, especially if it is upgraded to fire rockets.
* NotSoDifferentRemark: As he points out to the mobsters sometimes when they kill him, he's trapped in Alcatraz just like them.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Though his true name is Brutus, he is only ever referred in-game to as "the Warden".
* PetTheDog: The canon ending (if any) of ''Mob of the Dead'' is unknown, but in the "The Cycle is Broken" ending, he teams up with Al to kill the other three mobsters.
* ScaryImpracticalArmor: [[SubvertedTrope Kind of.]] He wears hardened leather armour over a blue suit covered in barbed wire. Not exactly a match for the sort of armour-peircing weapons that the Mystery Box gives the Mobsters and Primis, but then it barely matters considering he's so tough-as-nails anyway.
* SealedEvilInACan: He wasn't kidding when he said he was trapped in Alcatraz. [[spoiler:Him wanting out is what motivates him to attack Richtofen and crew, and they had the means to get him out.]]
* SmokeShield: Knocking off his helmet causes him to unpin the smoke grenades attached to his vest and release smoke in the area, making him harder to see.
* SpannerInTheWorks: In ''Blood of the Dead'', he suddenly appears and destroys the portal to ''Zetsubou No Shima'' that Primis was about to use, trapping them in the purgatory Alcatraz. [[spoiler:It also breaks the cycle, ensuring that later events are going to turn out quite different.]]
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: Belts out, "No! IMPOSSIBLE!" after Post-Rev Richtofen unleashes energy from his crystal, killing all the zombies and removing his own power. He is cut down by Primis not long after this.]]
* VillainsNeverLie: Nothing he says to the mobsters in ''Mob of the Dead'' is a lie. He's correct that they are doomed to purgatory forever and must live with the consequences of their sins, and when they complete the needed steps of the Easter egg, he calmly agrees to tell them the truth and does so. When he returns for ''Blood of the Dead'', however, he starts spewing bullshit about how [[spoiler:the Apothicons will rule all and the Shadow Man's song and dance.]]
* VocalEvolution: ''Blood of the Dead'' significantly dials down the processing done to his voice that was present in ''Mob of the Dead''. Nolan North also had a much more sinister, growling delivery, whereas he sounds more eloquent and bombastic (but still brutish and intimidating) in ''Blood''.
* WardensAreEvil: As a demonic prison warden, it's sort of his job to actively get in your way. He locks up the box, the Perk-a-Cola machines, the work benches and even the plane if he gets near them. Unlocking them costs 2000 points, a price that increases every time he locks it down within a round. ''Blood'' confirms that he was evil even from the start, serving [[spoiler:the Shadow Man]].

* AmbiguouslyHuman: Zombies typically go after ''every'' living human, but ignore him, implying he's not human at all. He also presumably spent untold years locked in a cage without food or water, yet is perfectly fine when freed and just wants booze and/or candy.
* AntiFrustrationFeatures: As he's an essential ally in getting things done efficiently, he can't be hurt by any form of damage you deal. Meleeing him makes him move faster temporarily as well, so you don't have to waste time watching him slowly plod his way towards you. The worst that happens when he takes a bullet is that he flees back to his cell and needs to be freed again.

* BigGuy:
TheBigGuy: He's the tallest person that isn't a zombie.zombie. In fact hee's so tall that he always walks in a hunch and has to crouch down to get through doorways.



* FoeTossingCharge: Give him booze and he'll guzzle it down before charging off into the opposite direction at high speed. This is essential for clearing debris and making shortcuts through the map, as well as accessing things you have to take long ways around normally. His charge can also one-shot zombies that get in the way, and give you points for stuff he breaks based on how far he goes.



* NighInvulnerable: Shooting him just makes him run away to his cell. It's impossible to do any damage to him. Hell, not even upgraded Ray Guns do anything!



* PluckyComicRelief: Serve as this for Victis for the duration of the otherwise depressing ''Buried'' (not that Victis themselves aren't lighthearted). He has many amusing, {{Slapstick}} reactions to the environment:
** Ramming debris (or a wall) will result in Slapstick him falling backwards with a panicked yell.

* NonActionGuy: Downplayed. While you can convince him to fight for you with booze or candy, most of the time he just wanders around slowly and nervously, making no effort to attack the zombies.

* UtilityPartyMember: Arthur has a lot of uses and applicability, but first you have to give him either booze or candy. In no particular order, he can:
** Smash through areas blocked by debris and/or break certain objects. Warning, he can kill zombies AND knock down players with his charge, so stay clear.
** Flail through a crowd of zombies to take the heat off of you.
** Pick up a crawler and follow you while holding it to extend round time without constantly having to pay attention to said crawler.
** Collect parts for buildables and craft them at tables.
** Keep the Mystery Box from rolling a Teddy Bear.
** Fetch the Mystery Box from its current spot and bring it to a designated area.
** Draw chalk outlines for weapons in random areas.
** Grab a power-up at the Deposit Box for 2,000 points.

Badass Mustache and Badass Beard were merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. Having facial hair is not enough to qualify. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with manliness in some way. Please read the trope description before re-adding to make sure the example qualifies.

As an adult, her German accent is a bit more subtle than it was when she was a child, which could be explained away by her traveling the world a lot as a BND agent and becoming fluent in English.
