Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup


* ArcherArchetype: Disregarding the magical ranged attack of Mechanist priests, the crossbowmen are the main ranged guard unit of the Mechanists. This is one of the things that distinguishes the Mechanists from the Hammerites even further, as the Hammerite tradition prefers melee-only guards.



* ArcherArchetype: Peculiarly, armed with a ranged instead of a melee weapon. They use the Mechanist pistol crossbows as their weapons.

* BigBad: Of ''The Metal Age''. Came from the ranks of the Hammerites, founded and leads their Mechanist offshoot, [[spoiler: plotting to kill every organic being the entire world and live surrounded by machines singing his praises]].

* CooperationGambit: [[spoiler: It's heavily implied that Viktoria is the "contact" through which Garrett is given the Shoalsgate job, and all the information he's provided to help him are due to the fact that the Pagans have already infiltrated the station and are currently trying to wrestle the control of it out of Karras's hands, with the information provided by Lieutenant Mosley, who by then had joined their cause. Understandably, given their past, Viktoria decided to not hire Garrett directly, and instead seemingly decided to draw him towards her and into her cause from afar over time]].

* MysteriousWoman: Even when we learn she is a Dryad and she gets closer to Garrett, in many ways neither we or Garrett ever get to find out who she really is or her past.

* WalkingSpoiler: Their true nature is one of the first signs a player has that the Mechanists are not on the up-and-up, and any trope concerning them (as you can see) lets the cat of the bag.

* {{Mooks}}: Slightly less common than the Worker Bot, but otherwise the commonest and largest robotic minion of the Mechanists. Due to its size, durability and firepower, it can be a fairly [[BossInMookClothing formidable opponent]] if it catches you sneaking around.

Per this, Talking To Himself has been merged with Acting For Two


* TalkingToYourself: Garrett and Karras share the same voice actor, so interactions play out like this.

Added DiffLines:

* GreenThumb: Her ability to generate plant life from thin air is crucial to the final mission of ''Thief II'', since [[spoiler:the Rust Gas replicates itself upon contact with organic matter, so filling the cathedral with plants will result in it being flooded with the gas after the Masked Servants are redirected there. Unfortunately, creating too many plants too fast is lethal to her.]]


Added DiffLines:


* DomesticAbuse: Was a victim of this, courtesy of her husband, the assistant librarian Ashton. She had a plan to escape this by [[spoiler:having her paramour, the head librarian Giles, take a job at another lord's mansion, which she would flee to, while Ashton would be placated by his promotion to head librarian. It failed, and Ashton murdered the two and hid their bodies in the library before leaving and taking the job Giles wanted for himself.]]

Added DiffLines:

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Had he not targeted [[TheHero Garrett]] for elimination in the first place in his paranoia, along with causing the death of his MoralityChain Viktoria, Karras almost certainly would have succeeded in his plans for destroying the world, instead snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

* MoralityChain: Subtly becomes this to Garrett over the course of the Metal Age, turning him away from his [[AntiHero cold, loner, selfishness and apathy]] and towards the [[KnightInSourArmor heroism he normally scorns]], as they grow closer working together to stop [[OmnicidalManiac Karras]], bringing out the best in him, making him start to care about what is happening to the world and to other people. When he panics over the prospect of storming Soulforge Cathedral, he tries to abandon her, but the mere word that she is in danger makes him [[ConscienceMakesYouGoBack change his mind and go back]] to try to save her. While he fails, she inspires him in her HeroicSacrifice to defeat Karras and the Mechanists once and for all, to save the world and [[ResignedToTheCall to stop fleeing from his destiny.]] She also becomes this to Dyan in Deadly Shadows posthumously, when she wants to have Garrett killed for stealing a Pagan artifact, but remembers how Viktoria felt about Garrett and offers him another way to make it up to the Pagans without violence.
