History Characters / MassEffect2SecondaryAntagonists

* KickTheDog: Her remark about how her hostage's son will be scarred for life after losing his mother, within earshot of Liara, whose mother was killed in the last game. Liara isn't happy to hear this ("I'm going to ''end'' you, Vasir."). If Shepard is a Colonist[[note]]Parents killed by batarian raiders[[/note]] or Earthborn[[note]]Abandoned as a child[[/note]], it could be intended for them as well.

* BullyingADragon: One of the biggest offenders in the entire series. Seriously, the guy thought that trying to capture the biggest badass in the galaxy would be a good idea.

* AmoralAfrikaner: A CardCarryingVillain with an Afrikaans accent

* {{Foreshadowing}}: During the brief period she's a party member, it's possible to hear the otherwise mild-mannered Kenson suddenly yell out "DIE, batarians!" in a fight. Soon enough, she turns out to be a lot less composed than she's acting.

* CutsceneBoss: [[spoiler: If Zaeed kills him.]]

* FateWorseThanDeath: DummiedOut [[spoiler: content in [=ME3=] reveals that if he survived Zaeed's loyalty mission in [=ME2=], he gets hauled away by a Reaper Harvester between the two games, begging Zaeed for a MercyKill, but Zaeed just abandons him to his fate]].

* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:Paragon ending of Zaeed's loyalty mission.]]
* KickTheSonOfABitch: His betraying and cutting ties with Zaeed can be considered this; Zaeed ''is'' hardly ethical.

* BadassBystander: See HeroicSacrifice.

* AuthorityEqualsAssKicking: She's a Spectre for a reason.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Commanders.

* TheEmpire: In all but name. See NGOSuperpower.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Averted -- when he and Zaeed founded the Blue Suns, Vido ran the business while Zaeed was the field commander.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Comes with being a krogan, but he fits best, since he's in charge of the Blood Pack on Tuchanka.

* ArcVillain [[BigBadEnsemble Ensemble]]: With Tarak and Jaroth for Archangel's recruit mission.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Being a krogan battlemaster and all. He can apparently regenerate faster than most krogan can, according to Archangel.

* ContraltoOfDanger: When she reveals she's an antagonist, her voice deepens and gets raspy, and not because she's indoctrinated.

* MadnessMantra: [["QUIET PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!"]]

* MadnessMantra: "It all seemed harmless..."

* PoweredByAForsakenChild: [[spoiler:The Overlord VI was created by merging an autistic math savant with the geth network via stuffing all kinds of plugs and tubes into the subject's body, in an attempt to exploit the geth's religious tendencies and control them. David quickly suffered extreme SensoryOverload due to his autism and he went completely insane, trying to upload himself into every machine in existence so he can escape the noices.]]

* ThePasswordIsAlwaysSwordfish: The password to his vault is 'Peruggia', after the thief who tried to steal the Mona Lisa. This is probably intentional, as he suspected Kasumi would try to steal the graybox from his home.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: While he didn't physically appear in the first game, the way he was talked about by other characters indicated that he was a neutral [[KnowledgeBroker information broker]] who is neither benevolent nor hostile, always trying to preserve the balance of power. As of the second game however, he is presented as a clear villain, who is greedy above everything else.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking:
** In the ''Lair of the Shadow Broker'' DLC, [[spoiler:he's the biggest and deadliest enemy you face.]] Also, [[spoiler:AsskickingEqualsAuthority since he took control of the previous Shadow Broker's organization by starting off as a "pet" and then killing him.]]

* OneWomanArmy: Given that Spectres are virtually always plucked from their respective race's military forces, it is almost certain that before Tela was a Spectre that she was an asari commando, widely regarded as the deadliest individual warriors in the galaxy.

%%* DarkSkinnedRedhead

* PunchClockVillain

* FateWorseThanDeath: DummiedOut [[spoiler: content in ME3 reveals that if he survived Zaeed's loyalty mission in ME2, he gets hauled away by a Reaper Harvester between the two games, begging Zaeed for a MercyKill, but Zaeed just abandons him to his fate]].

The captain of the Purgatory, a PrisonShip run by the Blue Suns that takes the kind of criminals no-one wants ''anywhere'' on their planet. He claims to be doing this "for the good of the galaxy", but regularly has prisoners beaten or [[ThrownOutTheAirlock spaced]] as an example to others, and much of his funding comes from selling inmates to people looking for payback. Cerberus arranges for Shepard to buy Jack from him, but it turns out his eyes are bigger than his stomach.

* KnightTemplar: What he considers himself to be. It quickly becomes clear that he's just a slaver who uses this trope to justify his actions.
