!The Team
[[folder:In General]]
* MusclesAreMeaningless: Applies to the extremely buff males, since they will die if hit by one bullet.
* OneHitPointWonder: With the sole exception of the [=MSX2=] port of the original ''Contra''.
* OneManArmy: Alien invasion? Global terrorist force? Just send one or two badass soldiers to do the cleanup job. ''Works every time.''
* SpectacularSpinning: Somersaults are one thing in common between the characters.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: This trope happens to every male playable character at some point.

!!'''Bill Rizer'''
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RikiyaKoyama (''Contra 3D'', Japanese), Creator/PMSeymour (''Contra Returns'', English), Creator/SteveBlum (''VideoGame/ContraOperationGaluga'', English)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bill_contra_ss_1.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:"It's time for revenge."]]
The main character of the series and a member of the Contra Force.
----
* TheDreaded: "Bill Rizer is now [[DiabolicalMastermind a symbol]]. He is [[spoiler:the never-ending [[ItAmusedMe desire for conquest]], '''[[UnstoppableRage aggression incarnate]]'''. Power that exceeds all, [[OmnicidalManiac pure destruction]]." -- ''Project C''.]]
* {{Expy}}: Of John Matrix from ''Film/{{Commando}}'', though the cover art of the first game portrays him as Major Alan "Dutch" Schaefer from ''Film/{{Predator}}''.
* HeroicBSOD: Goes through a brief one in ''Neo Contra'' due to Master Contra's BreakThemByTalking speech.
* HumanPopsicle: The man was sentenced to '''[[DisproportionateRetribution ten thousand years]]''' in cryogenic prison in retaliation for [[spoiler:[[TheScapegoat wiping out about 80% of the global population]]]] and [[spoiler:[[UsefulNotes/VictimBlaming the supposed murder of Lance Bean.]]]]
* LovableJock: This is his personality in ''Contra Returns''. He's happy to help anyone in need and friendly to almost everyone he meets, including some enemies. Here he's very laid back, likes to kid around when he's not in battle and he's often nostalgic about old missions. While he's intelligent, he loves being an action guy and prefers not thinking about things, to the annoyance of his old pal Lance.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:His overall reactions after having to take down [[WellIntentionedExtremist Lance Bean]] in ''Shattered Soldier'' and [[FaceHeelTurn Lucia]] in ''Neo Contra'' might qualify as this -- most notoriously, when the former reveals the '''[[UnwittingPawn truth]]''' behind the [[GovernmentConspiracy Alien War]]. ]]
* MythologyGag: Bahamut in ''VideoGame/HardCorpsUprising'' could be Bill Rizer, given the similar role across the games [[spoiler:(if he's not the same Bahamut in ''Contra: Hard Corps'').]]
* NakedOnArrival: He appears like this [[spoiler:for a few cutscenes in ''[=ReBirth=]''.]]
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Bill's appearance is based on Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger's likeness.
* OralFixation: Is portrayed chewing on a cigar in several official artworks, just like [[Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger Arnie]].
* SayMyName: [[spoiler:He shouts the names of Lance in ''Shattered Soldier'' and Lucia in ''Neo Contra'' when he kills them.]]
* ShoutOutThemeNaming: Is named after Bill Paxton and Paul Reiser, both of whom had starred in ''Film/{{Aliens}}''.
* ShutUpHannibal: Bill's response to [[spoiler:Master Contra [[AGodAmI claiming to be the ultimate form of Bill Rizer]]]] is this:
--> '''Bill:''' No, you're a joke. You're just a heap of metal with an inflated ego.
* TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler:In ''Neo Contra''.]]
* TraumaCongaLine: [[spoiler:The negative outcome of the [[GovernmentConspiracy Alien War]] had an ultra-magnetic weapon suffering a ConvenientMisfire, which led to the absolute eradication of '''four fifths''' of Earth's population, potential environmental collapse, and the supposed murder of his partner in the middle of the rampant chaos -- to which Bill Rizer was then mis-blamed for and imprisoned. Fast-forward five years later, Lance Bean had apparently underwent a FaceHeelTurn during the time Bill was out of commission, and became a terrorist leader with [[PuppeteerParasite a secret]].]] Come the inevitable battle, and after Bill defeated him, as Lance [[spoiler:died a slow, agonizing death, [[WellIntentionedExtremist he revealed that he only created the Blood Falcon organization to overthrow]] [[GreaterScopeVillain the Triumvirate]] [[WellIntentionedExtremist and expose their true plans]].]] Granted, the man did exact his revenge, [[spoiler:and yet... [[WasItReallyWorthIt he felt no better, once realizing that nothing would bring his dear friend back]]. In short: by the end of the game, we get to understand why his being called '''shattered''' ''couldn't be any more fitting''.]]
** ''Neo Contra'' continues the thread. [[spoiler:Turns out that Lucia, the female partner he had during the events of ''Shattered Soldier'' was revealed to be [[TheDragon one]] of the members of the [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Neo Contra organization]], and unlike what happened with Lance, was killed without giving any real explanation behind her FaceHeelTurn. Her boss in question, [[BigBad Master Contra]], delivered a [[BreakThemByTalking hurtful speech]] by claiming that he ''was'' the real Bill Rizer and that our protagonist's memories were pieced together by a military database with the sole purpose of creating a weapon designed for '''complete genocide'''.]] It was only [[spoiler:after Mystery G was [[BloodyHorror slashed open by the gloating leader]], and the elderly man's last words of encouragement when he was promptly freed from a devastating HeroicBSOD.]]

[[caption-width-right:220:"Let's attack aggressively!"]]
Bill's primary partner during the first few games.
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: Dyes his hair blue in recent games/remakes. [[JustifiedTrope Quite understandable]], if you consider the title screen for the [[AdaptationDisplacement NES port]] of the original ''Contra''.
* BigBad: Of ''Shattered Soldier''. [[DiscOneFinalBoss Until you defeat him with an A or S rank.]]
* CannotSpitItOut: [[spoiler:An AbortedDeclarationOfLove, if the cutscnes showing [[HoYay their interaction]] during the events of ''Shattered Soldier'' are any implication.]]
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Let's all agree that [[spoiler:allowing an [[PuppeteerParasite alien's embryo]] to have a safe birth, development and reproduction inside his body]] clearly '''wasn't as reliable''' as he had hoped, something ''even he'' eventually lampshades.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: He's not the real villain of ''Shattered Soldier''. [[spoiler:[[GreaterScopeVillain The Triumvirate]] is.]]
* TheDreaded: [[spoiler:[[CorruptBureaucrat The Triumvirate]] didn't send off Bill Rizer [[HeKnowsTooMuch to get rid of him]] by mere whim.]]
* {{Expy}}: Of ''Franchise/{{Rambo}}''. In ''Shattered Soldier'', he looks like [[spoiler:[[ThoseWackyNazis Heinrich Himmler]].]]
* FallenHero[=/=]TragicMonster: The first confirmed in-universe example.
* InsufferableGenius: Downplayed, in ''Contra Returns'' he's usually a pretty nice guy but he's temperamental when he's in thought, which is often, and Lance can be rather bitchy about how kids nowadays have it easy. They can practice with his latest inventions through VR, while he had to build everything and then go test them in field.
* GadgeteerGenius: In ''Contra Returns'', several times in the story it mentions that almost all the fancy hardware that the Contra Force uses has been developed by Lance. He's currently working on a new secret personal project that Bill believes to be a booster pill.
* GeniusBruiser: As mentioned above, he's the genius behind Contra Force's equipment and he's got the muscles of an elite bodybuilder.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thldXYYuQY8 Lance Lullaby.]]
* MythologyGag: Leviathan in ''VideoGame/HardCorpsUprising'' could be a young Lance Bean, but then [[spoiler:there comes UnexplainedRecovery if Leviathan is NotQuiteDead after his Knight Lunata battle]].
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Lance's appearance is based on Creator/SylvesterStallone's likeness.
* OneWingedAngel: After being defeated for the first time in ''Shattered Soldier'', [[FusionDance he fuses with the alien's DNA]].
* PowerFloats: Among other unusual abilities, thanks to [[NotQuiteHuman his]] [[spoiler:willing]] [[NotQuiteHuman corruption]].
* RogueProtagonist: In ''Shattered Soldier''.
* ShoutOutThemeNaming: Is named after Michael Biehn and Lance Henriksen, both of whom starred in ''Film/{{Aliens}}''.
* VillainExitStageLeft: He teleports out when he first encounters Bill (or Lucia) in ''Shattered Soldier'', but not before vowing that he won't show any mercy the next time they meet.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: With Bill Rizer. [[spoiler:To [[ImpliedLoveInterest what depth]] their [[HoYay bond]] went throughout the games was left in the air.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:To an illogical extreme in ''Shattered Soldier''.]]
* WholesomeCrossdresser: As [[spoiler:an undercover agent in ''[=ReBirth=]''.]]
* WorthyOpponent[=/=]AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Halfway through his battle and in the [[spoiler:[[MultipleEndings real outcome]]]], Lance isn't ashamed to admit he truly underestimated how powerful Bill (or Lucia) has become [[spoiler:-- an indication that [[TragicMonster he isn't as villainous as it has been assumed]].]] On the other hand...
* YouBastard: [[DownerEnding Should you get an average rank lower than A]], Lance can't help but laugh at [[TooDumbToLive your lack of foresight]] and fades away without saying a word explaining his FaceHeelTurn... [[spoiler:[[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness Not that it is]] [[HaveANiceDeath going to matter, anyway]].]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Lucia]]
!!'''Lucia[=/=][[spoiler:Pheromone Contra]]'''
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/WendeeLee (''Neo Contra'', English)
Lucia, a.k.a. Bioroid LCR, was a female cyborg who was created by [[MadScientist Dr. Geo Mandrake]], but [[DevelopmentHell was unable to complete her as he had died]]. She served as Bill's partner during the events of ''Shattered Soldier''.
----
* ActionGirl[=/=]DarkActionGirl: In ''Neo Contra''.
* {{Expy}}: She is quite possibly one to Ellen Ripley from the ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'' film franchise.
* FallenHeroine: And Bill does not deal with her betrayal and death any better.
* KnightOfCerebus: Compared to the other members of the QuirkyMinibossSquad in ''Neo Contra'', she's the only one to be treated fully seriously.
* MaleGaze: The shots used in her introduction as [[spoiler:'''Pheromone Contra''']] [[MsFanservice were probably intentional]].
** Should you complete ''Neo Contra'' with an S-Rank, it is entirely possible to [[spoiler:put the player characters back to action in their undergarments. As for Lucia, she'll be seen wearing a bikini.]]
** In ''Contra 4'', she becomes one of the two post-''Contra III'' female characters ascended to playable by looks alone [[spoiler:(with the other being Sheena Etranzi from ''Hard Corps'')]].
* MirrorBoss: [[spoiler:In ''Neo Contra'', if the player chooses her as a player character once she's unlocked.]]
* RogueProtagonist: She's [[QuirkyMinibossSquad one of the villains]] in ''Neo Contra'', but unlike [[WellIntentionedExtremist Lance]], her reasons behind her FaceHeelTurn are unknown.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Arguably the reason why her battle was treated in a '''fully serious''' tone, to contrast with previous encounters.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: Her design in ''4'' differs greatly from her original incarnation.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Jaguar]]
!!'''Genbei "Jaguar" Yagyu'''
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/BeauBillingslea (''Neo Contra'', English)
Jaguar is a human-alien samurai who serves as Bill's partner during the events of ''Neo Contra''.
----
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: Jaguar [[InvertedTrope inverts this trope]] between ''Neo Contra'' and ''Contra'' ''[=ReBirth=]''. In ''Neo'', he's slower but more powerful than Bill Rizer, and you can unlock the option to replace one of his guns with a powerful but melee-range katana. In ''[=ReBirth=]'', he not only plays identically to Bill, but dresses like him, too.
* {{Expy}}: Takes direct inspiration from the historical samurai Yagyū Jūbei Mitsuyoshi -- with some cues from ''VideoGame/GetsuFumaDen''.
* HumanAliens: He is from the planet called "Oh! Edo". Justified since ''Neo Contra'' was set after a major space colonization.
* InfinityPlusOneSword: Jaguar's katana is pretty powerful, [[spoiler:just enough to destroy '''a single machine''' on its own]].
** An ending in ''Neo Contra'' shows him [[spoiler:slicing down hordes of enemies with just his katana instead of his guns.]]
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Though he fully averts this trope in ''Contra'' ''[=ReBirth=]''.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To [[FallenHero Lance Bean]], thanks to the [[BlatantLies extensive]] [[DivergentCharacterEvolution redesign]] he acquires in ''[=ReBirth=]''.
[[/folder]]
!Other Team Members
[[folder:Probotector]]
->"Probotect and serve."
Initially a replacement for most of the human characters when the Contra games were released in Europe in the 1990s due to censorship concerns raised by the Federal Department for Media Harmful to Young Persons ([=BPjM=]) on violent games at the time.
They're integrated into the mainstream storyline where Probotector androids are used as scout and combat support units in the Alien Wars.
----
* AdaptationalExplanation: The presence of the Probotectors in the mainstream storyline is explained; they were originally training robots for Contra trainees (which, owing to their agility, may explain how Contra operatives possess impressive capabilities), before they are retrofitted for combat.
* RobotSoldier: Probotectors are deployed to support Contra ops as frontline troops when needed.

[[folder:Mad Dog and Scorpion]]
* DecompositeCharacter: Originally, Mad Dog and Scorpion were simply the codenames of Bill and Lance in American regions. With the release of ''Contra 4'', however, they have become characters in their own right within the Japanese continuity.

[[folder:Solomon Caesar]]
A former soldier of fortune during the Alien Wars, Solomon was captured by the Red Falcon army and experimented on, removing his eyesight and ability to process oxygen. After he was rescued by the Contra Force, Solomon decided to join the force himself. Bill's partner during the events of ''Contra 4 Redux''.
----
* DelinquentHair: Wears his hair in a bright green mohawk.
* DisabilityNegatingSuperpower: His face mask allows him to safely breath oxygen again as well as give him superhuman levels of eyesight.
* OfficialFanSubmittedContent: Created by young artist Stephen Hetrick for a contest held during the development of ''Contra 4 Redux''.

->'''Voiced by:''' Mike Ishibe
The main character of ''Hard Corps: Uprising''. Former soldier of [[TheEmpire Commonwealth]], he deserted it after realizing that it was evil. Leader of [[LaResistance the Union Force]]. One of the two playable characters in the base game.
----
* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: The staff members who developed the game do not confirm who Bahamut is, thus one possible clue (apart from Colonel Bahamut) is that this Bahamut might be a young Bill Rizer or someone else with a similar name.
* TheHero: Of ''VideoGame/HardCorpsUprising''.
* JackOfAllTrades: He is the most balanced out of all characters with his speed, health bar, and dash all sitting comfortably in the middle.

[[folder:Krystal]]
!!'''Krystal'''

A woman who joined the Union Force to fight against The Commonwealth after her village was destroyed by Tiberius. She partners with Bahamut. The other playable character in the base game.
----
* BrokenBird:
* EyepatchOfPower
* FragileSpeedster: Her playstyle. With the exception of Leviathan she has the lowest health out of all playable characters with only two bars. As a trade-off she has the fastest dash which mean if you are good with dodging and know the layout of the level, she is the optimal choice for clearing a stage the fastest.

BR-W9, a.k.a. Brownie, is [[RobotGirl a small android girl]] who talks in a high-pitched voice and is affiliated with the Contra Force.
----
* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: If you beat ''Contra'' ''[=ReBirth=] ''on the Normal difficulty or higher, you'll get [[TheStinger a scene]] after the credits revealing [[spoiler:that she might've developed a FaceHeelTurn at some point (that, or [[TalkingAnimal Plissken]], [[BigBad who is revealed to be the game's villain all along]], decides to make a HeelFaceTurn).]]
* ChildSoldiers: She's only half her partners' height, with a demeanor as mature as you'd expect.
* DistaffCounterpart: To [[RobotBuddy Browny]] from ''Contra: Hard Corps''.
* DubNameChange: In the Japanese version, her name is Tsugu-min.
* ShoutOut:
** She's basically a parody of ''Anime/{{Fireball}}'''s Drossel von Flügel. Even her Japanese name is a reference to the character (Tsugu-min is a play on "Tsugumi," a dusky thrush in Japanese, just like Drossel is in Deutsch).
** Whenever she falls in battle, she leaves a flower on her body, like Konami Lady from ''VideoGame/WaiWaiWorld''.
* SomethingElseAlsoRises: Holds [[ThatPoorPlant a wilting flower]] anytime she gets herself killed.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Of Browny from ''Hard Corps'', even having almost the same name. They're also some of the best characters in the series, gameplay-wise.

[[folder:'''Ray''']]
!!'''Ray Poward'''
->"Locked and loaded!"
First appearing in ''Hard Corps'', he is a member of the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Hard Corps]] and the main character of the game. Along with [[RobotGirl Sheena Etranzi]], [[WolfMan Brad Fang]], and [[RobotBuddy Browny]], his mission was to stop [[FaceHeelTurn the former war hero Colonel Bahamut]] from using the [[ArtifactOfDoom Alien Cell]] for his nefarious purposes. He also appears in ''Legacy of War'' and ''C: The Contra Adventure''.
----
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: In ''Contra Returns'', he look younger and wears a hoodie to distinguish himself from Bill Rizer.
* {{Expy}}: Of Bill Rizer. His weapons are all classic Contra standbys or variations therof.
* TheHero: He's the main character in ''Hard Corps''.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: In ''Operation Galuga'', he is the adopted son of Lance Bean.
* SleevesAreForWimps: Averted with Ray. While he's shown to be [[WalkingShirtlessScene the only playable character to wear a long-sleeved shirt]] in a OneHitPointWonder universe, he's also proven himself to be just as competent.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Sheena]]
!!'''Sheena Etranzi'''
->"Let's rock!"
She makes her first appearance in ''Hard Corps''. She is a fierce warrior who is skilled in guerrilla tactics, and in jungle combat she is said to be equal to an entire squad. She later appears as a secret character in ''4'' and [[spoiler:''Operation Galuga'']]
----
* ActionGirl: As the deuteragonist of ''Hard Corps''.
* TheCameo: [[spoiler:In TheStinger for ''VideoGame/ContraOperationGaluga'', she can be seen spying on Bradley as he mutates into a werewolf.]]
* MaleGaze: She becomes one of the two post-''Contra III'' characters ascended to playable by looks alone [[spoiler:(with the other being Lucia from ''Shattered Soldier'').]]
* OneManArmy: More like [[RobotGirl one-robotic-woman]] army, with her reputation as this trope getting referenced in the ''Contra: Hard Corps'' [[AllThereInTheManual biography]].
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Sheena's outfit in ''Contra 4'' is akin to a bikini. [[http://www.blogcdn.com/nintendo.joystiq.com/media/2008/03/cdsjppr002ak.jpg See it here.]] Her original outfit was only slightly more modest, with a few belts around her midriff and her breast plate covering her cleavage.

[[folder:Brad Fang]]
!!'''Brad Fang'''
->"It's payback time!"
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/PMSeymour (''Contra Returns'', English)
A WolfMan who was created using genetic engineering and cyborg technology. He's well trusted by the members of the Contra Force and is good at close range and hand-to-hand combat.
----
* AmbidextrousSprite: His ArmCannon changes sides when he faces left.
* ArmCannon: Mixed with GatlingGood
* TheBigGuy: The biggest of them all, and wields [[GatlingGood a minigun]] [[ArmCannon directly attatched to his arm]].
* CanonCharacterAllAlong: [[spoiler:In ''VideoGame/ContraOperationGaluga'', we are introduced to Bradley, who appears to be a PunchClockVillain working for Red Falcon before [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere calling it quits after seeing their true colors]]. In TheStinger, we later see him mutate into a werewolf, thus revealing him to be the same Brad Fang in ''Hard Corps''.]]
* CoolShades: Which become SunglassesAtNight in the underground levels of ''Hard Corps''.
* DifficultButAwesome: He possesses no homing weapons so you really have to aim well while dodging the enemy attacks, not to mention, he's got the biggest hit box in the game. One of his weapons is a short explosive punch that forces you to stand still when you fire and cannot be aimed, and his 4th weapon, Psychic Blaster, forces you to stop and fires a pathetically weak orb that only be fired forward. Those who knew how he works and juggle well between dodging and aiming, are rewarded with [[GameBreaker one of the most powerful characters in the game]]: That punch takes a huge chunk of damage especially to stationary bosses and can be rapid-fired too, and Psychic Blaster is actually a ChargedAttack, charge it and see bosses that dare to get into Brad's horizontal line of sight get reduced to ashes in one to three blasts. Not to mention, his rapid-fire weapon also acts as a powerful spreadshot at long ranges.
* GatlingGood: Mixed with ArmCannon
* InfinityPlusOneSword: His Beast Shot, Psycho Blaster, and Explosive Punch are pretty powerful.
* NecessaryDrawback: While he has ''the'' most powerful weapons of the four, he's also the largest of the four which means that his larger hitbox makes him more susceptible to getting killed.
* PowerFist: Half his weapons involve punching
* WolfMan: The most memorable example ''Contra'' could ever present to us.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Browny]]
!!'''Browny'''
He is the Model CX-1-[=DA300=] Combat Robot, though he is referred to as "Browny" by the Contra Force due to his warm personality. His ability to link up with numerous systems makes him an unsurpassed intelligence tool.
----
* DeathThrows: He's the only playable character in the entire ''Contra'' series who dies in this manner.
* DoubleJump: Out of the four playable characters, he has the capability of doing a second jump in midair thanks to his jetpack. To compensate, he has the lowest jump height otherwise.
* NecessaryDrawback: His ability to DoubleJump is compensated with his low jumping height. While he's the smallest of the four heroes, allowing him to avoid attacks easily, his invincible slide is also the shortest.
* KillerYoYo: His Super-Electromagnet Yo-Yo is an electromagnetic yoyo that is surprisingly powerful, dealing heavy amounts of continuous damage on contact and homing in on enemies to boot.
* RobotBuddy: A warm and friendly robot of the Hard Corps.

* FinalBoss: There are two paths where he becomes the FinalBoss in ''Hard Corps''.
* FusionDance: With the Alien Cell in one of the paths.
* KarmaHoudini: [[MultipleEndings One of the endings]] has him flying off in a helicopter after the Alien Cell is destroyed.
* MyDeathIsJustTheBeginning: In one path, when he's defeated, he'll say that upon his death, a missile loaded with the Alien Cell will launch [[ItsAWonderfulFailure and destroy the planet]].

* VillainExitStageLeft: Does this in one of the endings.

A mercenary hired by Colonel Bahamut during the events of ''Hard Corps''.
----
* BreatherBoss: [[EpicFail Surprisingly easy]] for [[TheDragon someone with his position]] -- he cannot kill the player via CollisionDamage, and only has one attack: an easily avoidable horizontal shot.
* TheDragon: To Colonel Bahamut.
* DragonTheirFeet: In one path, he can be fought after [[spoiler:defeating [[BigBad Bahamut]] while going after the missile]].
* DragonWithAnAgenda: He seems to have his own plans. He also states he doesn't care that Bahamut is dead in the [[MultipleEndings Missile Path.]]
* WorthyOpponent: If you choose to surrender to [[MadScientist Dr. Mandrake]], [[spoiler:he'll break you out of your cell in a military train so he can fight you later on]].

[[folder:Dr. Mandrake]]
!!'''Dr. Geo Mandrake'''
He was a scientist who was affiliated with Colonel Bahamut to do research on [[EldritchAbomination Gava]]'s DNA. [[PosthumousCharacter He]] ''also'' built [[RobotGirl Lucia]] (from ''Contra: Shattered Soldier'') as one of his plans, but [[DevelopmentHell died (presumably assassinated) before her creation]].
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: He doesn't betray the player in the Sega Genesis version of ''Probotector''.
%%* MadScientist
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: In the path where the player resists capture in ''Hard Corps'', he stays behind to use teleporter-fused monstrosities against you. When he tries mashing them all together at once, the resulting miserable-looking husk immediately eats him.
* PosthumousCharacter: Post ''Hard Corps'' events.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Bahamut kills Mandrake and mutates him into a bug in one of the paths.

!Red Falcon Organization
[[folder:In general]]
An evil organization of brainwashed humans and alien lifeforms seeking to dominate the world. Or do they?
----
* {{Determinator}}: If their goals in ''Shattered Soldier'' were to go by, they ''won't give up'' until humanity is annihilated or they're all annihilated.
* {{Homage}}: To the ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'' series. Many of their enemy designs are {{Xenomorph Xerox}}es and based on other things in the movies.
* NebulousEvilOrganisation: Initially they appear as an evil force out to conquer the world. We do learn their true goals eventually however, in ''Shattered Soldier''.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:One possible angle you can interpret their invasion of the planet, given how in ''Contra: Shattered Soldier'' we learn they're invading Earth to reclaim an artifact the Triumvirate stole. It's just that they've gone overboard about it.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Java]]
!!Demon Dragon God Java[=/=]Gomeramosking[=/=]Red Falcon[=/=]Para Slug
The commander of the Red Falcon forces in the first game.
----
* BigBad: Of the first game, where he's the one behind the Red Falcon invasion.
* DubNameChange: Was renamed "Red Falcon" in the localization of the original game. In ''Contra III'' it was renamed again to "Para Slug", likely because Gava was already given the name "Red Falcon" in that game.
* EvilIsVisceral: The FinalBoss of the game is Java's still-beating heart.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:'''Gava''' ]]
!!'''Emperor Devil Gava[=/=]Red Falcon'''
The leader of the Red Falcon organization and the mastermind behind most of the invasions on Earth.
----
* BigBad: Of most games, as the overall leader of Red Falcon. In particular it serves as this in the arcade version of ''Super Contra'' and ''Contra III''.
* BrainInAJar: You fight his brain in ''Contra III'' and [[spoiler:''Neo'']].
* CognizantLimbs: Tends to have two destructible snake-like skeleton aliens for "arms" in almost all appearances.
* DemotedToDragon: Is not the FinalBoss in the NES port of ''Super C''.
* DubNameChange: The English manual for ''Contra III'' identifies him as '''Red Falcon'''.
** ''Super C'''s English manual implied his name was Jagger Froid.
* EldritchAbomination: A mass of teeth and flesh, several stories tall.
* {{Expy}}: His humanoid form in ''3D'' is similar to either [[VideoGame/HardCorpsUprising Tiberius]], [[spoiler:Lance Bean in ''Shattered Soldier'']], or [[Franchise/StreetFighter M. Bison]].
* FinalBoss: Of the arcade version of ''Super C'' and ''Contra III''.
* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: He appears as [[spoiler:a boss in ''Neo'' under the hands of Master Contra and is also the FinalBoss of ''Operation Galuga'']].
* GreaterScopeVillain: Presumably for the first ''Contra'', where the Red Falcon forces are led by Java, who in later games is a mid-boss under Gava.
* RecurringBoss: He appears at least once per game since ''Super C''.
* SlasherSmile: His default expression is a toothy, sinister grin.
* XenomorphXerox: Resembles the Xenomorph Queen from ''Film/{{Aliens}}''. His appearance in ''[=ReBirth=]'' resembles the Predalien from ''Film/AliensVsPredatorRequiem''.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Kimkoh]]
!!Shadow Beast Kimkoh/Golden Beast
A creature in the Red Falcon army who serves as a recurring boss in the series.

* FinalBoss: Of the NES release of ''Super Contra''
* RecurringBoss: Starting with ''Super Contra'', it's appeared in a boss in nearly every ''Contra'' game.

[[folder:Black Viper]]
!!'''Black Viper'''
She is an alien leader and the sister of Red Falcon/Emperor Devil Gava. She is behind the invasions in ''Operation C'' and ''4''.
----
* BigBad: She serves as the main antagonist of the American release of ''Operation C'' and ''Contra 4''.
* BrainInAJar: In ''Operation C''.
* CanonImmigrant: An odd variant of this. Black Viper was something made up for the American version of ''Operation C'', but was seemingly added to the Japanese canon by way of ''Contra 4''. Though in Japan, the name "Black Viper" was instead associated with a playable aircraft in ''[[VideoGame/{{Parodius}} Sexy Parodius]]'', in which it serves as a ShadowArchetype of Vic Viper.

* DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler:Despite being the BigBad and being fought in the final stage, he is ''not'' the FinalBoss; shortly after you kill him a GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere (implied to be Gava) devours Varanis' ship along with you, [[WombLevel where you must fight your way through its intestines]], and eventually fight the giant alien as the real FinalBoss.]]

!Contra: Shattered Soldier
[[folder:'''Spoiler''']]
!!'''The Triumvirate'''
They are a trio of ancient men who governed the Earth in ''Shattered Soldier''. Their names are '''[[TheCaligula Gaius]]''', '''Nero''', and '''Commodus'''.
----
* AssholeVictim: In their attempt to harness the relic's power, all three get consumed by the resulting chimera. Considering that they were responsible for the past wars and framed Bill for the slaughter of nearly the entire world's population, all three of them had this death due.
* BigBadDuumvirate: They're the true main antagonists of ''Shattered Soldier''.
* CorruptPolitician: They were the ones responsible for the [[GovernmentConspiracy Alien Wars]] since they stole a mysterious artifact from the aliens, called the [[ArtifactOfDoom Relic of Moirai]].
* DestroyTheEvidence: They were the ones commanding the '''[[HeKnowsTooMuch immediate execution''']] of Lance Bean, [[NoodleIncident when he casually stumbled upon]] the by-product of their plans. Unfortunately for them, the man [[PuppeteerParasite found a way]] [[NotQuiteDead to survive the ordeal]], and became their worst enemy. Bill Rizer would follow suit eventually...
* EvilLaugh: In the DownerEnding of ''Shattered Soldier'', they laugh after disposing of Bill using a KillSat.
* EvilOldFolks: The individual members of the Triumvirate are several hundred years old and are responsible for the alien war as they stole the Relic of Moirai.
* FatBastard: Gaius is the most overweight of the three and is just as depraved.
* FinalBoss: Of ''Shattered Soldier''.
* AGodAmI: They obtained the Relic of Moirai to get god-like power.
-->'''Gaius:''' We now possess the relic and its power, making us virtual gods.
* GreaterScopeVillain: For most part of the '''entire franchise'''. They caused the invasions in the first three games by pilfering the Relic of Moirai from Jupiter, leading the Red Falcon to invade to retrieve it.
* KarmicDeath: Once they finish analyzing the [[ArtifactOfDoom Relic of Moirai]], their plan to use it backfires when it merges with them, becoming the FinalBoss.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://youtu.be/t-8F0wRIxn0 Senator]].
* OneWingedAngel: When the Relic of Moirai merges with them.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: The Triumvirate pretty much gave Bill Rizer [[ItsPersonal enough motivation]] to actively hunt them down, when they forced him into killing his former partner, Lance Bean.
* ThatManIsDead: Though, to be fair, Bill is also at fault [[RewardedAsATraitorDeserves for assassinating Lance]]...
-->'''Nero:''' Avenge him? When it's ''your hands'' that are [[TheseHandsHaveKilled red with his blood]], [[NeverMyFault you threaten us]]?
* ThemeNaming: The members of the Triumvirate in ''Shattered Soldier'' (Gaius, UsefulNotes/{{Nero}} and Commodus) are named after three of the most infamous Roman emperors (you may know Gaius better as UsefulNotes/{{Caligula}}).
* TheUnfought: Unless you count [[KarmicDeath the Relic of Moirai merging with the Triumvirate and overwhelming them]].

----
* ActuallyADoombot: Once Master Contra is defeated, it turns out to be a machine. The real Master Contra is the facility itself, Project C.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Gives one of these to Bill during his BreakThemByTalking speech.
-->'''Master Contra:''' What do you remember from before they put you in cold sleep, hmm? How much? You probably remember missions and battles fairly accurately. But beyond that, any personal memories? Disturbing how little you can recall, isn't it?
* {{BFS}}: [[spoiler:Owns one whom he uses to murder Mystery G. Later, he uses it in Stage 6.]]
* BreakThemByTalking: [[spoiler:When he's revealed, he taunts Bill about how he claims to be the ''real'' Bill Rizer, and that Bill's memories were pieced together by a military database.]]
* {{Expy}}: Has a few traits similar to Sigma, particularly his ''VideoGame/MegaManX4'' incarnation, minus the GrimReaper motifs.
* HannibalLecture: He loves giving these. His speech in Stage 6 about winning wars and ultimate soldiers is an example.
* HoldTheLine: The final stage has you fighting Master Contra in his [[EldritchAbomination final form]]. Unusual for a typical ''Contra'' FinalBoss in that attacking him is optional, just [[BulletHell dodge the bullets]] and wait for him to burn up in atmosphere.
* ItsAllAboutMe: As Bill Rizer put it, he's just a "heap of metal with an inflated ego".
* EvilLaugh: He loves doing this.
* AGodAmI: [[spoiler:He claims to have far surpassed the original Bill Rizer, even going as far as to declare himself as the ultimate form of him.]]
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:His BreakThemByTalking speech as well as his killing of Mystery G.]]
%%* LargeHam
* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: He claims to want to destroy Earth [[FreudianExcuse as a means to demolish all structured society and their morals]]. In reality, him destroying the planet is simply ForTheEvulz.
* PsychoticSmirk: His default expression.
* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:Project C.]]
* RoboticReveal: [[spoiler:His first form.]]
* SlasherSmile: [[http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/ps2/a/neoc7-34.png This ending pic]] has him sporting one of these which looks rather similar to [[VideoGame/MegaManX Sigma]] or [[Franchise/StreetFighter M. Bison]].
* TrueFinalBoss: You can only fight him and his final form if you have a high enough ranking.
[[/folder]]
!Contra [=ReBirth=]
[[folder:Salamander]]
!!'''Chief Salamander'''
Chief Salamander is a [[TalkingAnimal reptilian alien]] who fights against the Contra Force.
----
* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: If you beat ''Contra'' ''[=ReBirth=] ''on the Normal difficulty or higher, you'll get [[TheStinger a scene]] after the credits revealing [[spoiler:that Plissken, one of the characters you can possibly play as, [[BigBad turns out to be the game's villain all along,]] and also it's implied that he makes a HeelFaceTurn at some point (that, or [[RobotGirl BR-W9/Brownie]] is the one to make a FaceHeelTurn)]].
* {{Bowdlerize}}: Naturally, this had to happen to him when ''Contra '' ''[=ReBirth=]'' was brought overseas. In the Japanese version, when a photograph of Chief Salamander is shown at the beginning of Stage 3, he looks strikingly like [[spoiler:UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler]].
* HeelFaceTurn: Presumably undergoes one in [[spoiler:TheStinger of ''[=ReBirth=]''.]]
* {{Tuckerization}}: [[spoiler:Chief Salamander and his Neo-Salamander Forces]] are named after ''[[VideoGame/{{Gradius}} Salamander]]'', while the name [[spoiler:Plissken]] is a direct reference to [[spoiler:Snake Plissken]] from ''Film/EscapeFromNewYork'' and ''Film/EscapeFromLA''.

!Hard Corps Uprising
[[folder:Tiberius]]
* BigBad: Of ''VideoGame/HardCorpsUprising''.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/MegaManX Colonel]], or [[spoiler:Master Contra of ''Neo Contra'' or Chief Salamander of ''Contra [=ReBirth=]'']].
** Ironically, he also seems to be partially based on [[spoiler:[[HeWhoFightsMonsters Bahamut]]'s appearance and role in the original ''Contra: Hard Corps'']], up to the point they Tiberius even ''resembles'' [[spoiler:''Contra: Hard Corps'' Bahamut]] visually, for example both having long hair and having a stache, as well as both wearing military uniforms and capes.
*** [[spoiler:He may be also based off The Triumvirate from ''Shattered Soldier'', if you count the Relic of Moirai fusing with them.]]
** [[spoiler:Tiberius Augustus = Justice, or The Triumvirate if you count the Relic of Moirai]].
*** He also resembles in this form, the first two stages of [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 G-Virus mutated William Birkin]], especialy with both sharing the overgrown one arm, with a pulsating, giant eye.
** [[spoiler:Tiberius Invictus = [[VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy Chaos]] (or, if you prefer, Valentine from the final battle of ''Guilty Gear 2: Overture'', or the Project C of ''Neo Contra''), and last but not least, he resembles a '''much''' more mobile Devil Emperor Gava, especially that both contain the ''"鬼"'' (demon, ogre, devil, oni) Kanji in [[DubNameChange their Japanaese names]] ]].

* OneHitPointWonder: His play style, being a CallForward to other ''Contra'' games.
* UndyingLoyalty: Tiberius' most faithful soldier. This is especially evident when you play as him, and find that he's still loyal to Tiberius even after [[WellIntentionedExtremist finding out the truth of the Capital Laboratory in stage 5]].
* WeUsedToBeFriends: With Bahamut, before he betrayed the Commonwealth organization.

* {{Expy}}: Of John Matrix from ''Film/{{Commando}}'', though the cover art of the first game portrays him as Major Alan "Dutch" Schaefer from ''Film/{{Predator}}''.
* HeroicBSOD: Goes through a brief one in ''Neo Contra'' due to Master Contra's BreakThemByTalking speech.

* LovableJock: This is his personality in ''Contra Returns''. He's happy to help anyone in need and friendly to almost everyone he meets, including some enemies. Here he's very laid back, likes to kid around when he's not in battle and he's often nostalgic about old missions. While he's intelligent, he loves being an action guy and prefers not thinking about things, to the annoyance of his old pal Lance.

* TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler:In ''Neo Contra''.]]
* TraumaCongaLine: [[spoiler:The negative outcome of the [[GovernmentConspiracy Alien War]] had an ultra-magnetic weapon suffering a ConvenientMisfire, which led to the absolute eradication of '''four fifths''' of Earth's population, potential environmental collapse, and the supposed murder of his partner in the middle of the rampant chaos -- to which Bill Rizer was then mis-blamed for and imprisoned. Fast-forward five years later, Lance Bean had apparently underwent a FaceHeelTurn during the time Bill was out of commission, and became a terrorist leader with [[PuppeteerParasite a secret]].]] Come the inevitable battle, and after Bill defeated him, as Lance [[spoiler:died a slow, agonizing death, [[WellIntentionedExtremist he revealed that he only created the Blood Falcon organization to overthrow]] [[GreaterScopeVillain the Triumvirate]] [[WellIntentionedExtremist and expose their true plans]].]] Granted, the man did exact his revenge, [[spoiler:and yet...

* FallenHero[=/=]TragicMonster: The first confirmed in-universe example.
* InsufferableGenius: Downplayed, in ''Contra Returns'' he's usually a pretty nice guy but he's temperamental when he's in thought, which is often, and Lance can be rather bitchy about how kids nowadays have it easy. They can practice with his latest inventions through VR, while he had to build everything and then go test them in field.
* GadgeteerGenius: In ''Contra Returns'', several times in the story it mentions that almost all the fancy hardware that the Contra Force uses has been developed by Lance. He's currently working on a new secret personal project that Bill believes to be a booster pill.

Jaguar is a human-alien samurai who serves as Bill's partner during the events of ''Neo Contra''.
----
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: Jaguar [[InvertedTrope inverts this trope]] between ''Neo Contra'' and ''Contra'' ''[=ReBirth=]''. In ''Neo'', he's slower but more powerful than Bill Rizer, and you can unlock the option to replace one of his guns with a powerful but melee-range katana. In ''[=ReBirth=]'', he not only plays identically to Bill, but dresses like him, too.
* {{Expy}}: Takes direct inspiration from the historical samurai Yagyū Jūbei Mitsuyoshi -- with some cues from ''VideoGame/GetsuFumaDen''.
* HumanAliens: He is from the planet called "Oh! Edo". Justified since ''Neo Contra'' was set after a major space colonization.
* InfinityPlusOneSword: Jaguar's katana is pretty powerful, [[spoiler:just enough to destroy '''a single machine''' on its own]].
** An ending in ''Neo Contra'' shows him [[spoiler:slicing down hordes of enemies with just his katana instead of his guns.]]
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Though he fully averts this trope in ''Contra'' ''[=ReBirth=]''.

They're integrated into the mainstream storyline where Probotector androids are used as scout and combat support units in the Alien Wars.
----
* AdaptationalExplanation: The presence of the Probotectors in the mainstream storyline is explained; they were originally training robots for Contra trainees (which, owing to their agility, may explain how Contra operatives possess impressive capabilities), before they are retrofitted for combat.

The main character of ''Hard Corps: Uprising''. Former soldier of [[TheEmpire Commonwealth]], he deserted it after realizing that it was evil. Leader of [[LaResistance the Union Force]]. One of the two playable characters in the base game.
----
* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: The staff members who developed the game do not confirm who Bahamut is, thus one possible clue (apart from Colonel Bahamut) is that this Bahamut might be a young Bill Rizer or someone else with a similar name.

!!'''Ray Poward'''
->"Locked and loaded!"
First appearing in ''Hard Corps'', he is a member of the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Hard Corps]] and the main character of the game. Along with [[RobotGirl Sheena Etranzi]], [[WolfMan Brad Fang]], and [[RobotBuddy Browny]], his mission was to stop [[FaceHeelTurn the former war hero Colonel Bahamut]] from using the [[ArtifactOfDoom Alien Cell]] for his nefarious purposes. He also appears in ''Legacy of War'' and ''C: The Contra Adventure''.
----
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: In ''Contra Returns'', he look younger and wears a hoodie to distinguish himself from Bill Rizer.
* {{Expy}}: Of Bill Rizer. His weapons are all classic Contra standbys or variations therof.
* TheHero: He's the main character in ''Hard Corps''.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: In ''Operation Galuga'', he is the adopted son of Lance Bean.
* SleevesAreForWimps: Averted with Ray. While he's shown to be [[WalkingShirtlessScene the only playable character to wear a long-sleeved shirt]] in a OneHitPointWonder universe, he's also proven himself to be just as competent.
[[/folder]]

She makes her first appearance in ''Hard Corps''. She is a fierce warrior who is skilled in guerrilla tactics, and in jungle combat she is said to be equal to an entire squad. She later appears as a secret character in ''4'' and [[spoiler:''Operation Galuga'']]
----
* ActionGirl: As the deuteragonist of ''Hard Corps''.
* TheCameo: [[spoiler:In TheStinger for ''VideoGame/ContraOperationGaluga'', she can be seen spying on Bradley as he mutates into a werewolf.]]
* MaleGaze: She becomes one of the two post-''Contra III'' characters ascended to playable by looks alone [[spoiler:(with the other being Lucia from ''Shattered Soldier'').]]
* OneManArmy: More like [[RobotGirl one-robotic-woman]] army, with her reputation as this trope getting referenced in the ''Contra: Hard Corps'' [[AllThereInTheManual biography]].
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Sheena's outfit in ''Contra 4'' is akin to a bikini. [[http://www.blogcdn.com/nintendo.joystiq.com/media/2008/03/cdsjppr002ak.jpg See it here.]] Her original outfit was only slightly more modest, with a few belts around her midriff and her breast plate covering her cleavage.

A WolfMan who was created using genetic engineering and cyborg technology. He's well trusted by the members of the Contra Force and is good at close range and hand-to-hand combat.
----
* AmbidextrousSprite: His ArmCannon changes sides when he faces left.
* ArmCannon: Mixed with GatlingGood
* TheBigGuy: The biggest of them all, and wields [[GatlingGood a minigun]] [[ArmCannon directly attatched to his arm]].
* CanonCharacterAllAlong: [[spoiler:In ''VideoGame/ContraOperationGaluga'', we are introduced to Bradley, who appears to be a PunchClockVillain working for Red Falcon before [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere calling it quits after seeing their true colors]]. In TheStinger, we later see him mutate into a werewolf, thus revealing him to be the same Brad Fang in ''Hard Corps''.]]
* CoolShades: Which become SunglassesAtNight in the underground levels of ''Hard Corps''.
* DifficultButAwesome: He possesses no homing weapons so you really have to aim well while dodging the enemy attacks, not to mention, he's got the biggest hit box in the game. One of his weapons is a short explosive punch that forces you to stand still when you fire and cannot be aimed, and his 4th weapon, Psychic Blaster, forces you to stop and fires a pathetically weak orb that only be fired forward. Those who knew how he works and juggle well between dodging and aiming, are rewarded with [[GameBreaker one of the most powerful characters in the game]]: That punch takes a huge chunk of damage especially to stationary bosses and can be rapid-fired too, and Psychic Blaster is actually a ChargedAttack, charge it and see bosses that dare to get into Brad's horizontal line of sight get reduced to ashes in one to three blasts. Not to mention, his rapid-fire weapon also acts as a powerful spreadshot at long ranges.
* GatlingGood: Mixed with ArmCannon
* InfinityPlusOneSword: His Beast Shot, Psycho Blaster, and Explosive Punch are pretty powerful.
* NecessaryDrawback: While he has ''the'' most powerful weapons of the four, he's also the largest of the four which means that his larger hitbox makes him more susceptible to getting killed.
* PowerFist: Half his weapons involve punching
* WolfMan: The most memorable example ''Contra'' could ever present to us.

He is the Model CX-1-[=DA300=] Combat Robot, though he is referred to as "Browny" by the Contra Force due to his warm personality. His ability to link up with numerous systems makes him an unsurpassed intelligence tool.
----
* DeathThrows: He's the only playable character in the entire ''Contra'' series who dies in this manner.
* DoubleJump: Out of the four playable characters, he has the capability of doing a second jump in midair thanks to his jetpack. To compensate, he has the lowest jump height otherwise.
* NecessaryDrawback: His ability to DoubleJump is compensated with his low jumping height. While he's the smallest of the four heroes, allowing him to avoid attacks easily, his invincible slide is also the shortest.
* KillerYoYo: His Super-Electromagnet Yo-Yo is an electromagnetic yoyo that is surprisingly powerful, dealing heavy amounts of continuous damage on contact and homing in on enemies to boot.
* RobotBuddy: A warm and friendly robot of the Hard Corps.

* BrainInAJar: In ''Operation C''.
* CanonImmigrant: An odd variant of this. Black Viper was something made up for the American version of ''Operation C'', but was seemingly added to the Japanese canon by way of ''Contra 4''. Though in Japan, the name "Black Viper" was instead associated with a playable aircraft in ''[[VideoGame/{{Parodius}} Sexy Parodius]]'', in which it serves as a ShadowArchetype of Vic Viper.

!Hard Corps Uprising
[[folder:Tiberius]]
* BigBad: Of ''VideoGame/HardCorpsUprising''.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/MegaManX Colonel]], or [[spoiler:Master Contra of ''Neo Contra'' or Chief Salamander of ''Contra [=ReBirth=]'']].
** Ironically, he also seems to be partially based on [[spoiler:[[HeWhoFightsMonsters Bahamut]]'s appearance and role in the original ''Contra: Hard Corps'']], up to the point they Tiberius even ''resembles'' [[spoiler:''Contra: Hard Corps'' Bahamut]] visually, for example both having long hair and having a stache, as well as both wearing military uniforms and capes.
*** [[spoiler:He may be also based off The Triumvirate from ''Shattered Soldier'', if you count the Relic of Moirai fusing with them.]]
** [[spoiler:Tiberius Augustus = Justice, or The Triumvirate if you count the Relic of Moirai]].
*** He also resembles in this form, the first two stages of [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 G-Virus mutated William Birkin]], especialy with both sharing the overgrown one arm, with a pulsating, giant eye.
** [[spoiler:Tiberius Invictus = [[VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy Chaos]] (or, if you prefer, Valentine from the final battle of ''Guilty Gear 2: Overture'', or the Project C of ''Neo Contra''), and last but not least, he resembles a '''much''' more mobile Devil Emperor Gava, especially that both contain the ''"鬼"'' (demon, ogre, devil, oni) Kanji in [[DubNameChange their Japanaese names]] ]].
* HeroesPreferSwords: A villain example.
* ParentalAbandonment: [[spoiler:He abandoned Sayuri.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Leviathan]]
* BloodKnight
* DeadAllAlong: [[spoiler:If you play as him. Unless you consider Leviathan as Lance Bean.]]
* TheDragon: To Tiberius
* OneHitPointWonder: His play style, being a CallForward to other ''Contra'' games.
* UndyingLoyalty: Tiberius' most faithful soldier. This is especially evident when you play as him, and find that he's still loyal to Tiberius even after [[WellIntentionedExtremist finding out the truth of the Capital Laboratory in stage 5]].
* WeUsedToBeFriends: With Bahamut, before he betrayed the Commonwealth organization.
