This page is for listing the tropes related to the kett individuals in ''VideoGame/MassEffectAndromeda''

* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: The WeaponOfChoice of all Destined.

* ItCanThink: Despite being in a perpetual state of utter rage, after getting out of its tracks Ryder down. And somehow managed to acquire a gun.

* PsychoPrototype: It's the first somewhat successful [[spoiler:exhalation of the krogan species]] but its [[spoiler:blood rage]] was accidentally made permanent, making it hostile to anything that moves, including other kett.

* NotSoDifferent: If Ryder [[spoiler:spares her facility]], she will remark that she is glad Ryder understands the "gift" of exaltation. Ryder, of course, can use an interrupt to shoot her in the back of the head.

* BraggartBoss: [[spoiler:He spends a lot of the final battle going on about what he's going to do to the Ryders, their work, [[AndYourLittleDogToo their loved ones, and so forth]].]]

* EvilOldFolks: While kett physical development [[spoiler:outside Exaltation]] and the kett lifespan are unknown, the Archon has been leading the kett in the Heleus cluster since the kett made first contact with the angara over eighty Earth years ago.
* EvilSoundsDeep: The Archon's voice is quite deep and he is the villain of the main storyline.
* EvilIsPetty: The true depths of his evil are revealed during the final battle, in which his actions become increasingly petty. [[spoiler:While at first, his actions are pragmatic (disabling Ryder's SAM and using the ''Hyperion'' to have about 20,000 hostages), after Ryder overcomes his defenses one after another, he starts losing it. He delights in causing Ryder's sibling as much pain as possible, [[IShallTauntYou trash-talks everyone in the Heleus Cluster incessantly]], and then [[MotiveDecay completely abandons his original goal]] of [[JoinOrDie threatening to destroy entire planets]] if the Heleus Cluster didn't submit to the Kett... proclaiming them ''all'' unworthy and announcing that he'll skip straight to the EarthShatteringKaboom. By the end of it all, he's just trying to hurt as many people as he can, as badly as he can.]]

* GalacticConqueror: As his title translates to "campaign leader", and his tactics are clearly those of a seasoned commander (such as feigning friendliness in his initial encounter with the angara), he's implied to have already conquered many other races in the name of the kett empire. [[spoiler:His ultimate goal is to gain additional power from the Precusors' technology in the Heleus Cluster in hopes of increasing his own position, possibly at the expense of the empire he serves.]]
* JoinOrDie: The Archon's broadcast to the ''Tempest'' closed with this message. [[spoiler:He was being entirely honest about the offer. He also claims to his second in command that this is his ultimate goal with taking control of the Remnant teraforming network; issue an ultimatum to the Angaran and Initiative to submit to Exaltation or he'll use the network to kill their whole worlds, one by one, leaving nothing livable.]]

* NearVillainVictory: The Archon [[spoiler:captures whichever Ryder is not the Pathfinder in an attempt to take control of the Remnant's Meridian Engine and use it to make every world in the cluster uninhabitable. He very nearly succeeds; by the time Ryder kills him, he's connected to the entire vault network]]. That being said, [[spoiler:messages between Initiative personnel point out that the Vaults were clearly never intended as weapons, and question exactly what he could have done with it--especially since he barely had the thing working at all. The Remnant he sent against you, for example, were just running on corrupted cleaning protocols rather than being controlled directly. While the network could have been put to horrific use (he planned to make the inhabited worlds barren until the populations gave in to the kett, and it's also implied he planned to [[HostileTerraforming change the terraforming thresholds to something inimical to life]] or making inhabit) he didn't get the chance]].

* DamageSpongeBoss: Ridiculously heavily armored for something its size and thus takes huge amounts of firepower to bring down. It's one of only a few enemies in the game that can actually survive a hit from a Cobra missile (an anti-tank weapon that will one-shot just about anything else), and takes literally hundreds of bullets to bring down even with high-level assault rifles. On the other hand, [[PaddedSumoGameplay it can barely hurt you]]- its only weapon fires a slow plasma ball that deals pitiful damage over a long period.

* PsychoPrototype: It's the first somewhat successful [[spoiler:exhalation of the krogan species]] but it's [[spoiler:blood rage]] was accidentally made permanent and it is now hostile to anything that moves, including other kett.

* CharacterDeath: You have the option to kill her, though Jaal will do so if Ryder doesn't.

* CharacterDeath: You have the option to kill her, but Jaal will kill her himself if Ryder does not.

* CharacterDeath: You have the option to kill her or let her live.

!!The Archon

-->'''Ryder:''' I've seen your experiments. It's what we call "inhuman."
-->'''Archon:''' And what I call progress.

!!The Primus
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/primus_ingame.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"ThePurge has only just begun."'']]

-->'''Primus:''' You are a single minded creature, Pathfinder. [[WorthyOpponent I see it now]]. Your determination will grant the kett dominion over this galaxy.
-->'''Ryder:''' [[ShutUpHannibal Not on my watch, asshole!]]
-->'''Primus:''' This posturing benefits no one. Our confrontation is inevitable, not imminent.

!!The Cardinal
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kett_cardinal.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"This is a gift! Who are you to deny it?"'']]

!!Archon's Sword
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/archons_sword_enemy_box.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"The Archon wants that one. Destroy the rest."'']]

* TheDreaded: Is apparently feared through the kett for serving as the Archon's fist. Those who run afoul of the Archon's Sword are never heard from again.

!!The Valiant
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/meandromedakettascendant.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"None escape the Decimation's reach!"'']]

!!The Invictor
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/invictor_enemybox_1.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"Your presence is not a threat. I will test you and then discard."'']]

* EvilSoundsDeep: Like most kett.

!!Kett Behemoth
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/behemoth_enemy_box.png]]

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: He is more vile and less powerful (individually) than the main antagonists of the previous games and sees the main character as less of a worthy foe.

* TheNapoleon: When seen standing in a group of other kett soldiers, the Archon is actually the shortest one present. [[spoiler:This is the early hint that he's not an exalted angara, like most of his forces.]]

* NormalFishInATinyPond: [[spoiler:For the kett, he's just one of hundreds of mid-level military commanders subservient to the Senate (his title is said to translate to "campaign leader"). For the angarans and Initiative colonists, he's the BigBad due to the fact that even his relatively small resources of a few cruiser-sized ships, a few fighter squadrons, and a few dozen thousand troops are daunting.]]

* CharacterDeath: You have the option to kill her or let her live. If Ryder spares her, Jaal kills her anyway.
