* ActionGirl: A member of an underground resistance movement, she's no less capable at dispatching monsters than Jacob is.
* DefrostingIceQueen: She starts off openly hostile to Jacob, believing him to be involved in the accident on Europa, but mellows out once she learns it's not the case. [[spoiler: And even after she finds out he was actually involved after all she does not turn hateful again, having had a chance to know him better and witness his regret and desire to atone.]]
* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: Almost goes through with it once she gets infected with the biophage, but Jacob stops her in time.]]



* TheLostLenore: [[spoiler: Her little sister Lily who died to biophages on Europa.]]
* TheScapegoat: For the Europa accident according to the UJC.

* {{Catchphrase}}: "There's always a price to pay", said when he [[spoiler:flushes the airlock with Jacob and Elias inside]], and then [[spoiler: just after he goes OneWingedAngel]].



* SoftSpokenSadist: He never gets physically abusive with Jacob until the shit hits the fan, but it's clear from his demeanour before and after the outbreak starts that he enjoys lording over his prisoners as an overseer.



* TheOldConvict: Has spent half of his life in Black Iron and knows it almost like the back of his hand.
* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: Most of the time he's away from Jacob, talking to him via their implants and guiding him through Black Iron, as he's often in a better position to access its computer systems.



* AncientConspiracy: [[spoiler:Is a part of one called the Commonality, that's been trying to guide the humanity's development for centuries.]]



* TheExtremistWasRight: While he is wrong about a lot of things, he isn't wrong about [[spoiler: the Biophage having a legitimate advantage when it comes to surviving hostile environments, as the Biophage can easily survive on Callisto's surface despite the lethal atmosphere and freezing temperatures, something that would quickly be fatal to ordinary humans.]]

* WellIntentionedExtremist: despite his terrible actions, [[spoiler: including causing the biophage outbreak,]] he does have genuinely good intentions.

* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:In the present. Seeing how far Cole is willing to take the biophage project, she decides she's had enough and turns against him, helping Jacob behind Cole's back.]]
* HeelRealisation: [[spoiler:Has one after hearing how Cole considers the Europa outbreak a revelation and an opportunity.]]
* ForScience: [[spoiler:Her original motivation, in her recordings she gleefully speaks of wonders and potential applications of the biophage pathogen to enhance the humanity, and does not mind conducting experiments on living humans to unlock those applications.]]
* ALighterShadeOfBlack: [[spoiler:Compared to Cole. She's still an amoral scientist who experimented on humans and had possibly knowingly sent another science team to their deaths to survey the old colony, but unlike Cole she considers the Europa outbreak nothing but a tragedy, and turns against him after Cole replicates it in Black Iron.]]
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: She outfits Jacob with the CORE implant after he had been unlawfully icarcerated at the start of the game without batting an eye, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

* PunchClockVillain: While he is certainly an ass, he never goes out of his way to KickTheDog, and is willing to be friendly with Jacob until the warden requests he be detained.

Strange, grub-like creatures that often attack the player when opening containers.

* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: Their tendency to show up and attack out of nowhere isn't isolated to just Jacob, as they [[spoiler: infect Dani with the virus during an unexpected surprise attack.]]
* JumpScare: Their primary tactic, they'll often jump out of containers to attack the player and force them into a quick time event.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: [[spoiler: They're the primary vector of infection, the larvae of an alien creature that carry the Biophage virus. As such, they're the reason why the outbreak is happening at all.]]
