* BossInMooksClothing: They are resistant to damage and have a lot of health points, their attacks hurt ''a lot'', they have access to two moves at turn and they are a rare type of late game enemy. Taking down one of these things is not an easy task.

* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Her accent remains consistent throughout the game, and she does use German phrases, but it doesn't quite ''sound'' German, and she occasionally slips into RP English for half a sentence. There's also a bit of French in there too. [[FridgeBrilliance So she could be Swiss, from the Rhineland, or Alsacien.]] It's also possible that she grew up in somewhere like Germany but moved to somewhere like England a few years back, such that her accent is mid-transition from German to English by the start of the game.

* GotVolunteered: Despite the Volunteer's title, it's still the Commander who selects a soldier to enter the Gollop Chamber. FridgeBrilliance hits when you realize that ''every'' soldier under your command must have volunteered for the duty, so you only have to choose who will be ''the'' volunteer.

* GermanScientist: She even gets to show off her German in the tutorial mission, [[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent although it's just as heavily English-accented as her German-accented English]]. Her occasional use of RP English and French, coupled with her decidedly non-German first name, ultimately leaves her country of birth ambiguous.

* CoolGuns: All of their weapons are sleek, black metal, German-style weapons, with their assault rifles most notably being a dead ringer for [=H&K G36s=]. Their laser weapons have effectively the same housing as their ballistic weapons, but with additional attachments and glowing red lines.



* FalseFlagOperation: The descriptions for EXALT's CoolGuns mention that they might be useful for random requests from the funding nations looking to launch these against EXALT.

* SquishyWizard: Downplayed. Their psionoc capabilities are fearsome, but physically, they're just beefier Sectoids, and the Plasma Pistol they're waving around is hardly a threat to units with good armor, though they shouldn't be underestimated even then, as their Aim is decent and they also have a grenade that they ''will'' use if they see an opportunity; besides that, they have health and defense about on par with a Heavy Floater.
