History Characters / InvisibleInc

--> '''Prism:''' Meaning they caught you cheating.
--> '''Dr. Xu:''' [[DistinctionWithoutADifference It's a question of semantics.]]

-->'''Shalem:''' Do you know how to handle yourself out here?
-->'''Xu:''' I've reviewed the telemetry from countless infiltrations. I think I have a pretty good idea.
-->'''Shalem:''' So no.

--> Internationale: ''"Human nature doesn't change. We're all still people."''
--> Dr. Xu: ''"Even Sharp?"''
--> Internationale: ''"Well, most of us, anyway."''

* RevolversAreJustBetter: Decker's archived variant is equipped with a refurbished revolver. It has the largest ammo reserve out of every ranged weapon in the game, but cannot be reloaded.

* IllGirl: Getting pulled out of Invisible Inc.'s mainframe and installed in the company jet as a stopgap measure has not been good to her. The campaign mode's [[StalkedByTheBell time limit]] comes from how long Incognita can last before running out of power [[spoiler: or until a new host can be found]].

* CrutchCharacter: Her On-File version's augment allows for a pretty drastically different playstyle than in almost any team without her, since you're able to scout for devices far more efficiently (see below). Getting used to wireless scanner-less gameplay can be a major challenge.

* TheAce: Thinks of himself as such (see his folder quote).

[[folder: Dr. Xu]]

[[folder: Shopcat]]

[[folder: R4ttlesnke]]

* ItGetsEasier: Shalem can have a conversation with Nika regarding how many people they've killed. Nika says she's killed 83, Shalem says he's lost count. Nika says it bothers her sometimes, and asks if it bothers Shalem, and he says "not since I lost count".

* DummiedOut: In early access, R4ttlesnke would contact the players through certain console events. Since console events were removed, he/she is gone.

* HackYourEnemy: Dr. Xu's On-File augment lets him hack enemy mainframe devices and drones and deactivate them. It also lets him disable enemy heart monitors, to prevent them from triggering when the guard dies. However, the disable only lasts for one turn, and uses up his attack.

Dr. Xu was a highly respected University Professor from a wealthy family who once did private security contracts. However, Dr. Xu also enjoyed exploring security mainframes too much and was arrested after one of his exploratory trips was discovered. Fired from his job after being released, Dr. Xu joined Invisible to continue his research, as well as to give himself some protection from the Corps.

These characters are not actually canonically agents of Invisible, but agents from Central's previous job as an agent (and later leader) of the PEIA at the time of the Istanbul Run. The DLC release in general centers on this event, which Prism's data log reveals was a crucial mission at The Istanbul Hotel that went terribly wrong for PEIA and marked both the end of the agency and the end of the war. The mission was completed by four agents, presumably Draco, Rush, Central and Monst3r, the latter two going underground after the mission failed. As Prism's data log mentions [[spoiler: the execution of the captured agents, plural, it's likely Draco and Rush are no longer alive. ]] Additionally, both Draco and Rush lack 'on-file' versions. [[WordOfGod According to the devs]], their presence in the game represents a sort of 'what if' scenario.

* ConspicuousTrenchcoat: Wears a brown (or black if archived version) Trenchcoat, hearkening back to the age of film noir. Said to be an affectation of his obsession with the 20th century.

->''"I hope we find a usable terminal on this floor."''

* {{EMP}}: His unique augment, letting him use a weak one once per turn for free as a melee attack. Best used on safes, as the contents can be removed before the electronics reboot. Can also permanently destroy camera drones.

* NonActionGuy: With a background in academia, he's one of the few agents (along with Draco and Prism) who was a normal civilian (though with a rule-breaking streak) before joining Invisible. Plus, some of the agent banter seems to show that he's considered this by the team and is lacking in field experience.

* ActionGirl: By far the deadliest female agent in the game, and one of only a handful of agents designed specifically to kick ass. And in addition to what we see of her in the opening cutscene and in gameplay, one of the unlockable data bank files you can find reveals some more details about the aforementioned assassination attempt on the Russian oil CEO she had worked for. Of particular note: there were around two dozen of them, she took out one of the assassins by [[RazorFloss slicing her arm off with nanowire]], and took out another by ripping two flash grenades from his belt and ''shoving them under his helmet, in his eyes''. Furthermore, they're not even sure of the exact number of assailants. They were in so many pieces by the time she was through with them that the team of forensics (in the year 2070, mind) had to take DNA samples to determine the exact number, and even then they could only make an educated guess.

These characters are not actually canonically agents of Invisible, but agents from Central's previous job as an agent (and later leader) of the PEIA. Canonically these characters are about two decades older than they are portrayed here, if they're even still alive.

* PosthumousCharacter: Explicitly stated to have been killed during the Resource Wars.

* BadassBookworm: He's a former 'neurvelist' (i.e. writer).

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Well, he has a rare skin condition that makes him sensitive to light, he's codenamed Draco, and he gains power by 'analysing' (i.e. drinking blood) killed enemies.

* BigGood: Central has been fighting the corporations directly and indirectly for almost two decades, so the current conflict is very much her war.

* InterfaceSpoiler: Her On-File version weaponizes this in the form of a built-in wireless scanner that lets her passively detect mainframe objects through walls. This gives you a better view of what's in a room without even having to peek through the door, much less open it and risk being spotted. It also opens up more targets for Incognita to hack, like cameras, which can give you an even better view of the room before entering.

* NonActionGuy: With a background in academia, he's one of the few agents (along with Draco and Prism) who was a normal civilian (though with a rule-breaking streak) before joining Invisible. Plus, some of the agent banter seems to show that he's considered this by the team.

* PlayfulHacker: Enjoyed hacking into security databases. It what got him expelled from his University.

* InstantSedation: She has a custom made paralytic serum that takes effect quickly. The target needs to be restrained (i.e. already knocked out) to apply it, but it can extend their little naptime by another several turns.

* JustAMachine: {{Downplayed}}. He occasionally refers to Incognita as "it" or "your AI" instead of "she" or by name, and states that he never took Central for the anthropomorphising type. That's about it though, and he still quips "I think she likes you" when Incognita comments on how well you're doing.

* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler:Being forced from her childhood job as a weatherman into a military operator in one of the largest and bloodiest resource wars in history, only to watch the major players mutually obliterate each other and let the unscrupulous, incompetent corporations take over the remains had a damaging effect on her psyche.]]

* {{Invisibility}}: Decker's On-File unique item, a cloaking rig that let's him turn invisible for an entire turn or until he attacks. Compared to the generic cloaking rigs you can get as loot, it's essentially a Level 2 rig, but with Level 1 stat requirements, making it easier to pass off to another agent if and when you get something better.

* CrutchCharacter: Can be this on endless. Early game his EMP augment allows him to hack one safe per turn and kill camera drones for free without using any energy but later on most items will have EMP shielding which makes his augment just reduce the number of firewalls by two. Still useful but not enough to carry your hacking on it's own.

* Race Lift: She played Olivia Gladstone in "The Istanbul Four", a historical drama based on the Resource Wars, despite the real Olivia Gladstone being white.

* ActionGirl: By far the deadliest female agent in the game, and one of only two agents designed specifically to kick ass. Furthermore, one of the unlockable data bank files you can find reveals some more details about the aforementioned assassination attempt on the Russian oil CEO she had worked for. Of particular note: there were around two dozen of them, she took out one of the assassins by [[RazorFloss slicing her arm off with nanowire]], and took out another by ripping two flash grenades from his belt and ''shoving them under his helmet, in his eyes''.

* {{Badass}}: As if there weren't already enough evidence in-game, one of the unlockable data bank files you can find reveals some more details about the aforementioned assassination attempt on the Russian oil CEO she formerly worked for. Of particular note: there were around two dozen of them, she took out one of the assassins by [[RazorFloss slicing her arm off with nanowire]], and took out another by ripping two flash grenades from his belt and ''shoving them under his helmet, in his eyes''.
