* WouldntHurtAChild: His one and only redeeming quality. Should the player blame him for the death of the Wrights' son (he's innocent, it was actually the Salvatores who killed him) Big Jesus is appalled and snarls "the Mordinos do ''not'' kill children!" He'll subvert this with--and ''only'' with--Myron for leaving his post, who is [[HateSink so utterly despicable]] you'd hardly blame him anyway.

* ImplacableMan: In various optional cutscenes, he's seen laughing off plasma rifle fire and [[spoiler:punching [[DemonicSpiders deathclaws]] in half]]. With 999 HP and an Armor Class of 45, he can take a lot of punishment.

* KarmicDeath: It's possible to kill him by making him O.D. on super-stims you've probably gathered around the wastes. It's actually preferable to do it that way, because if you don't you'll have an entire base of [[DemonicSpiders Enclave troopers]] on your ass.

[[folder:Kaga]]
An exile from Arroyo. When the village's fortunes turned dire, he entered the Temple of Trials to prove he was worthy of being the village's hero. However, in the final trial where he fought a member of the village, he used a hidden blade to murder them. The Elder, disgusted by his actions, banished him to the wasteland. He hates Arroyo with a passion, and especially you as the ''actual'' hero they've sent out.

----
* EvilCounterpart: To you, the hero chosen in his place. Characters warn you not to end up like him.
* TheExile: Banished from Arroyo for murder.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: He makes a run for it whenever his health gets too low.
* LordBritishPostulate: It's possible, but very difficult, to kill Kaga. He has an obscene amount of health, is immune to being knocked down or knocked unconscious, and runs away when his health gets low enough.
* MilesGloriosus: Has some shades of this in the RP mod. He'll still trash talk the Chosen One even as he's running for his life and abandoning the rest of his party.
* RecurringBoss: Is fought 6 times throughout the game, with increasingly more powerful equipment and party members.
* TheResenter: Hates that you were made the Chosen One instead of him.
%%* TheRival
* WorthyOpponent: He admits you've been one during the final fight with him.

Added DiffLines:

* KnightTemplar: Horrigan is a sadistic monster who enjoys murdering "muties" in ways that horrify even his fellow Enclave soldiers, but in his mind, he's a hero serving a righteous cause by wiping out all mutants so the Enclave and "true humans" can reclaim the Wasteland. His belief in the righteousness of his actions is best illustrated by his dying words.
-->'''Horrigan:''' Duty... honor... courage... Semper Fi...


Added DiffLines:

* FinalSolution: The Project that President Richardson is spearheading is the genocide of all mutated lifeforms so the "true humans" that make up the Enclave can be free to colonize the Wasteland and restoring their version of the United States.

* CannotTakeCriticism: According to the Enclave communications officer, President Richardson has a habit of interpreting any criticism as disloyalty and sends complainers to [[ReassignedToAntarctica lifetime shit assignments in the Wasteland]] as punishment.

* NiceToTheWaiter: Richardson is remarkably polite and willing to chat with players disguised as Enclave troops or scientists, especially considering the Chosen One is approaching him within a few hours of his EvilPlan being realized.



* GrammarCorrectionGag: He insists that "potato" is in fact spelled "potatoe" and has composed a list of many words he believes should be changed. A parody of the infamous time Dan Quayle hosted a spelling bee in an American school and "corrected" one of the students by saying that "potato" is spelled "potatoe."

President Richardson says his spelling has actually improved since receiving brain damage.


Added DiffLines:

* LaserGuidedKarma: Bird was in on the Enclave's plan to commit genocide against every mutated individual in the Wasteland. It's fitting then that Bird received brain damage from taking the experimental anti-toxin that is meant to make the Enclave immune from the effects of their own virus.

* ADickInName: AffablyEvil personality aside, he's still planning on mass genocide. Just to really hammer it home, he is also a Dick (or rather "Son of a Dick") in his last name.

Added DiffLines:

-->'''Secretary:''' The President says I kiss the best.
* TheFundamentalist: No matter what the Chosen One says to him, President Richardson cannot be talked out of his genocidal scheme or made to see the error of his ways. The Chosen One's claims that slightly mutated humans are still humans is met with CondescendingCompassion that the Chosen One would only understand Richardson's point-of-view if they were a "true human" like Richardson himself, while the Chosen One arguing mutation is turning the inhabitants of the Wasteland into something better will only bolster his resolve by saying that makes it all the more vital to save "true humans" from an evolving threat. Richardson also mixes his jingoism with religious dogma too, should the Chosen One [[YoureInsane call him insane.]]
-->'''President Richardson:''' I assure you, I'm quite sane, as is everyone on the Project. We're dedicated to the salvation of the human race. You can call single-minded dedication to a cause madness, I suppose, but if so, it's divine madness.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Nepotism}}: His political career was greatly advanced by his father, the former President Richardson. In five short years his father helped him go from a Congressman to the next President of the United States.


Added DiffLines:

* PetTheDog: He defends Vice President Bird if the Chosen One calls him a drooling idiot, referring to Bird as a national hero for testing the modified FEV anti-toxin even though it gave him brain damage.

* SuperToughness: He literally laughs off plasma rifle and minigun fire. His ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' card has the Indestructible rule on the attack, allowing him to shrug off anything that doesn't [[DeaderThanDead exile him]] or reduce his substantial toughness to 0.


Added DiffLines:

** For his ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' [[https://scryfall.com/card/pip/89/agent-frank-horrigan card]], [[https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/making-magic/game-on per Mark Rosewater]], the design team specifically wanted him to be the strongest mutant. While some of the other cards can be more powerful given time or resources - [[VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas Lily]] can grow to have better stats after several turns, for example - Frank Horrigan, right out of the gate, is bigger and scarier than most of the Magic cards that represent ''gods''.

* LightningBruiser: He has a very high amount of AP, an absurd amount of health, and a very powerful weapon.

to:

* LightningBruiser: He has a very high amount of AP, AP (more than twice as much as most other characters), an absurd amount of health, and a very powerful weapon.



* OneManArmy: Frank is, in terms of raw game stats, the single most powerful creature in either ''Fallout 2'' or its predecessor. He has perfect SPECIAL, 185% in four of the five combat skills, 999 HP, high damage resistances, and his custom plasma rifle has a burst mode that deals high damage for a low AP cost, letting him fire it three times a round. Even with the Chosen One reprogramming the turrets, talking the Enclave patrol into siding with them, and bringing companions with them, Horrigan holds his own and will likely last more than a few rounds, and on his own turns he's liable to kill at least one character. In terms of story, Horrigan is strong enough to punch apart deathclaws, tanks fire from a plasma rifle like it's nothing, and his stature is most directly comparable to a super mutant behemoth; not to mention he has a custom suit of power armor that's pretty much attached to him and surely is among the best tech the Enclave could provide.
