7!!Dan Huffington
8!!!Huff
9!!!'''Voiced by:''' Michael Dalmon
10->[-'''Appearances:'''-] ''VideoGame/SeriousSamDoubleD''[[note]]XXL version only[[/note]]
11A hillbilly who, thanks to some kind of accident with the {{Time|Machine}}-Lock, gets transported to the past instead of Sam.
12----
13* BadassNormal: Just an ordinary redneck who can cause as much havoc to Mental's forces as Sam himself.
14* CanonForeigner: Exclusive to the [[UpdatedRerelease XXL version]].
15* HalfWittedHillbilly: A more competent example than usual, but he ticks all the boxes.
16* SleevesAreForWimps: Wears a bright, yellow shirt with the sleeves torn off.

24->[-'''Appearances:'''-] ''VideoGame/SeriousSamTormental''
25----
26* AnimateInanimateObject: ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. His "Dyna" variant changes him into walking dynamite.
27* CartoonBomb: He ''is'' one and can cause non-animate ones to blow up.
28* RequiredSecondaryPowers: {{Averted|Trope}}. He may have the power to spawn more bombs and detonate them all at once, but he does ''not'' have explosion immunity. There is an item that reduces explosion damage, but it has to be obtained separately.
29* StuffBlowingUp: His specialty. His ability allows him to remotely blow up every single bomb and mine in the room at once. Just be careful not to stand next to one when using it, since activating them this way will not trigger a countdown and instead explode them immediately.

33!!Bad Bulb

37->[-'''Appearances:'''-] ''VideoGame/SeriousSamTormental''
38
39A sentient lightbulb rescued in the Nightmare Caves. He uses electricity to attack his enemies.
40----
41* AnimateInanimateObject: A living lightbulb. Unlike Bomb, he doesn't even have arms or legs!
42* BatterUp: His melee weapon is a metal bat, referred to in-game as a "Melee Bulb". Interestingly, he's the only character to not use a [[CarryABigStick sledgehammer]].
43* CastFromHitpoints: His "Sparky" variant drains health to attack, but compensates by healing with every figment[[note]]the game's currency[[/note]] collected.
44* ChainLightning: He shoots a beam of electricity that chains to nearby enemies, dealing reduced damage to them.
45* CloseRangeCombatant: His limited range requires you to get up close and personal with enemies, which can be difficult with the game's BulletHell tendencies.
46* HatesBeingTouched: Sometimes after being hit, Bulb demands that his enemy uses sanitizer the next time they touch him.
47* InsufferableGenius: He likes to boast about his intelligence compared to everyone else.
48-->'''Bad Bulb:''' ''"Ah, I see you've gone for the intelligent choice. There is hope for you yet!"''
49* MechanicallyUnusualClass: He is the only character that does not use a traditional gun as his main weapon, instead using a beam of electricity to kill enemies. As such, he's also the only character who does not get any gun upgrades, receiving a selection of normal items instead.
50* ShockAndAwe: His "gun" and special ability revolve around this.
51* SophisticatedAsHell: Bulb has a very posh attitude most of the time, but even he can't help but vent some frustration if he's killed.
52-->'''Bad Bulb:''' "''Ah Mental, thou art a heartless bitch.''"

59[[caption-width-right:300:[[labelnote:Click here for his dark variant.]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ughzandark.png]][[/labelnote]]
60->[-'''Appearances:'''-] ''VideoGame/SeriousSamTormental''
61A friendly member of the Ugh-Zan Dynasty, locked away deep within Mental's subconscious.
62----
63* BaritoneOfStrength: Has a deep, booming voice and is the physically strongest character you can unlock.
64* BigRedDevil: He is an alien, but the piercing red skin, horns and goat legs certainly make him look the part.
65* DarkIsNotEvil: His unlockable variant has [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver entirely black skin with red horns]], but he is still fighting against Mental.
66* GrievousHarmWithABody: His special ability allows him to pick up both projectiles and enemies ([[ContractualBossImmunity except bosses]]) and throw them at others to deal massive damage.
67* WhiteSheep: Every other member of the Ugh-Zan Dynasty encountered so far has been in high-ranking positions in Mental's Horde. Ugh-Zan Jr. instead chose to rebel against him.
68[[/folder]]
69
70!! Humans
71!!! Earth Defense Force
72[[folder:In general]]
73
74* RedshirtArmy: Mental's forces slaughter them by the thousands. By the time ''BFE'' nears its end, [[SoleSurvivor only Sam is left]].
75* TheAlliance: Every single government and military on Earth, united as one against the alien invasion.

78[[folder:Professor Stein]]
79!!Professor Hermann Stein
80!!!'''Voiced by:''' Garry Peters
81->[-'''Mentioned in:'''-] ''VideoGame/SeriousSam3BFE'', ''VideoGame/SeriousSamVRTheLastHope'', ''VideoGame/SeriousSam4'', ''Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem''
82
83An archaeologist prominent in the study of Sirian artifacts found in Egypt. He was the one who figured out how to activate the {{Time|Machine}}-Lock, giving humanity a fighting chance against Mental.
84----
85* TheGhost: Despite being a character vital to the series as a whole, all that's ever seen of Stein is the hand of his corpse.
86* HerrDoktor: {{Implied|Trope}}. He's a colleague of Professor Kiesel and his name is German in origin, so it's very likely that he's German as well.
87* TheIllegible: Sam spends most of ''The Last Hope''[='=]s Shaanti levels trying to decipher the handwritten notes Stein gave him, which are supposed to help him find Mental's experimental superweapon. He manages to find it eventually, but makes sure to complain about it.
88* MinorMajorCharacter: He's a fairly recurring character and very important to the plot, as Sam never would have made it to the past without his discovery on how to use the Time-Lock. Yet we never actually get to meet the guy. Sam never even talks to him on-screen.
89* SoundOnlyDeath: You can hear his screams while looking for him in the Cairo museum, but he's already dead by the time Sam gets to him. You don't even get to see the corpse.

96%%[[caption-width-right:350:]]
97----
98* GuestStarPartyMember: Shows up later on in Carcassonne as a member of LaResistance, provided you complete the SideQuest "We Can Be Heroes".
99* TheGenericGuy: Doesn't have much personality compared to everyone else.
100* TheLancer: To the dead Massimo Murena.
101* YouAreInCommandNow: With Massimo Murena dead, he's now the leader of the Italian resistance.
102[[/folder]]

104[[folder:Dmitry]]
105!!Dmitry
106!!!'''Voiced by:''' Zach Valenti
107[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ss4_dmitry_0.jpg]]
108[[caption-width-right:350:''"Is this... joke?"'']]
109->[-'''Appearances:'''-] ''VideoGame/SeriousSam4'', ''Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem''[[note]]Only heard in audio logs[[/note]]
110--> ''"Why does everyone think they are comedian?"''
111
112An EDF member hailing from Russia.
113----
114* CatchPhrase: He always starts his audio logs with "I would like to register complaint regarding" whatever it is the audio log is about.
115* ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike: Chides Sam for non-standard use of a snow mobile instead of thanking him for saving him from a Khnum.
116* TheEeyore: Always sounds positively miserable.
117* InconsistentSpelling: One of his logs complains about how the EDF keeps misspelling his name with an "i" instead of a "y".
118* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: He does this in his second audio log.
119-->''"I would like to register complaint regarding system to register complaints, which is reminiscent of 21st century computer game audio log system. It is primitive way of communicating important information in crisis situation."''
120* NoSenseOfHumor: Dmitry does not find everyone else's jokes even remotely funny.
121* OnlySaneMan: He certainly considers himself as such and joined the EDF to try to straighten things out. However, while he is definitely more sane than most of the A.A.A. Team, he also has a serious case of SkewedPriorities.
122* SkewedPriorities: Sam using a snow mobile for decapitation is apparently more important than almost being eaten alive. He's also more upset that there was no proper security check at a Siberian oil refinery than the fact that everyone there is dead.
123* SurroundedByIdiots: Everyone around him is always doing something wrong, so he'll make an audio log to complain about it. He specifically joined the EDF to fix some of these problems himself.

126[[folder:One-Eyed Olga]]
127!!Olga
128!!!One-Eyed Olga / The One-Eyed Horror / Lady Death
129!!!'''Voiced by:''' Julia Mikayla Wilson
130[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/serioussamoneeyedolgasplash.png]]
131[[caption-width-right:350:''"Eye for an eye, bitches!"'']]
132->[-'''Appearances:'''-] ''Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem''
133->[-'''Mentioned in:'''-] ''VideoGame/SeriousSam4''
134
135A legendary Russian sniper. Believed to have died shortly after assassinating the Octanian general Ktapodius the Strangler, Olga shows up alive and well to help Sam in ''Siberian Mayhem''.
136----
137* AlternateSelf: [[spoiler:Shows up alongside [[HelpYourselfInTheFuture Future Sam]] at the end of ''Siberian Mayhem'', who recruited an Olga from an AlternateTimeline for an important mission. She, Future Sam and Siberian Mayhem!Sam then depart through a time portal to parts unknown.]]
138* TheDreaded: She's infamous enough for the Horde to give her nicknames like "Lady Death" and the "One-Eyed Horror". One Octanian soldier can be heard telling a horror story about her.
139* EarlyBirdCameo: She is mentioned twice in [[VoiceOfTheResistance Radio Free Earth]] broadcasts throughout ''4'', only to show up in the flesh in ''Siberian Mayhem''.
140* EatingTheEyeCandy: Admits to having stared at Sam's butt during their holdout at her hideout.
141-->'''Olga''': ''"Stone? You OK down there?"''\
142'''Sam''': ''"Yeah... I'm all right. Thanks for watching my butt."''\
143'''Olga''': ''"Couldn't help myself..."''
144* EyepatchOfPower: Has one covering her left eye socket. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking It's even listed as a crime on her wanted poster.]]
145* EyeScream: They don't call her One-Eyed Olga for nothing. According to one of her loading screen quotes, she keeps her missing eye in her chest pocket.
146* FakingTheDead: Killing Ktapodius the Strangler had the side-effect of making her a key target for the Octanian forces, so she faked her death so she can recover from her injuries.
147* FriendlySniper: One of the best snipers in the EDF and nothing but friendly to Sam.
148* ICallItVera: Her [[LoreCodex NETRICSA file]] mentions that she affectionately calls her favourite rifle "Victor".
149* ImprobableAimingSkills: She shoots down a plane by hitting one of its engines with a single shot.
150* LivingLegend: Going by Radio Free Earth and Sam's own comments, she's just as much of a legend as Sam is.
151* MaamShock: One of her loading screen quotes has her saying that she does ''not'' appreciate being called "ma'am".
152* SmallRoleBigImpact: She only has one major appearance in ''Siberian Mayhem'', but she shoots down [[spoiler: Brand's cargo plane]], preventing him from reaching Tunguska and leading to his and Sam's confrontation in Ustinov.
153* SoleSurvivor: She lost both her eye and her entire squad in a struggle against a horde of Kleers. This led to her officially leaving the EDF to fight on her own, but she still keeps in touch.
154[[/folder]]
155
156!!!The Alien Artifact Acquisition (A.A.A.) Team
157[[folder:In general]]
158* BadassCrew: Some of the EDF's best soldiers, capable of keeping up with Sam during several points in ''4''.
159* BunnyEarsLawyer: They may be partially-to-complete lunatics, but they all have skills that make them the EDF's best.
160* DueToTheDead: The surviving members of the team take a drink in memory of their fallen comrades during ''4''[='=]s ending credits.
161* EtTuBrute: [[spoiler:{{Downplayed|Trope}}. None of them particularly liked General Brand, but they never saw his betrayal coming. They are all outraged when he reveals himself a {{Turncoat}} and want to get their revenge on him, which they gladly indulge in at the end.]]
162* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: General Brand handpicked them from various parts of the EDF and they are as eccentric as can be.
163* SeriousBusiness: {{One|Liner}}-liners. As Jones puts it:
164--> ''"This is Triple-A, boy, you gotta survive with style."''
165* TrueCompanions: The core members of the team constantly rip on and make bad jokes about each other, but they stick together through thick and thin.
166* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:The entire mission to find the Holy Grail was one big lie. Their actual goal was to unlock the ArtifactOfDoom for General Brand so he can claim it for himself and [[TurnCoat join Mental's side]].]]

169[[folder:Rodriguez]]
170!!Dwayne Juan Maria Rodriguez
171!!!Rodriguez the Ram
172!!!'''Voiced by:''' Antonio Alvarez (''4''), Bill Wise (''3: BFE'')
173[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ss4_rodriguez.jpg\
174[[labelnote:Click here to see Rodriguez in ''BFE'']]\
175https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ss3_rodriguez_8.png[[/labelnote]]]]
176->[-'''Appearances:'''-] ''VideoGame/SeriousSam3BFE'', ''VideoGame/SeriousSam4''
177->[-'''Mentioned in:'''-] ''Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem''
178--> ''"Did I want to be a soldier? Fuck no. I coulda been a wrestler. Or a porn star. Or both."'' - Rodriguez
179%%[[caption-width-right:350:]]
180One of Sam's closest friends in the Earth Defense Force and a member of the A.A.A. Team. Originally introduced as a RedShirt that is promptly killed off at the start of ''BFE'', Rodriguez plays [[AscendedExtra a more important role]] in ''4''.
181----
182* AndThisIsFor: While fighting [[SoftSpokenSadist Lord Achriman]], Rodriguez lists a few people he intends to avenge.
183-->''"[[spoiler:For Jones! For Kenny! For Carmelita! Eat this!]]"''
184* DumbMuscle: Not all that bright, but can throw down with the best of them.
185* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Seen mowing down Mental's armies with Jones while screaming at the top of his lungs:
186-->''"Yeeeeeahaaaaaw! That's right, you sons of bitches! I fuck Mental! I fuck your whole army! Come at me, you alien [[GratuitousSpanish pendejos]]! Ya want Mexican? I got Mexican! Ya want American? I got American! Y'all want a bite of me? Come get your chili con carnage!"''
187* FunctionalAddict: Very much likes himself some drugs and would rather being doing some than fight Mental's armies, but puts them aside because mankind's survival is much more important.
188* HardTruckin: Used to be a truck driver before Mental's invasion hit.
189* HotBlooded: Manages to outdo both Sam and Hellfire in his passion for carnage.
190* ICallItVera: He named his machete "Carmelita", after a stripper that used to work in his favourite restaurant/strip club. She died in the Siege of Mexico City, using a shotgun to take a few aliens with her. It's likely that he had a thing for her, since he reminisces fondly of her and later calls her name when fighting Lord Achriman.
191* KilledOffscreen: How he meets his demise in ''BFE'' is unclear. When he calls Sam for the second time, it's actually Jones using his earphone since Rodriguez was already dead. Some unused dialogue from Jones states that he "took one in the chest".
192* LargeHam: Even by ''[[WorldOfHam Serious Sam]]'' standards, Rodriguez has a loud and bombastic personality.
193* LudicrousGibs: His and Jones' bodies are blown to smithereens by a [[ActionBomb Beheaded Kamikaze]] and so charred that it's impossible to tell what belonged to whom. At least Rodriguez seems to have already been dead by the time this happened.
194* NoodleIncident: On top of his numerous promotions and demotions due to his unpredictability, Rodriguez also received a reprimand for causing the "Saratoga Industrial Lubricant Incident".
195* MachoLatino: One of the strongest men in the A.A.A. Team, hailing from Mexico.
196* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Rodriguez has a surprisingly introspective moment after he finds out about [[spoiler:Jones' death]]. He fully admits that he expects himself to die in some stupid way later on, but was hoping [[spoiler:his friend would make it out alive to be the cook he always wanted to be.]]
197* SavedByCanon: Since both Rodriguez and Hellfire show up in ''BFE'', it is clear that they'll manage to escape the [[LivingShip Harvester Leviathan]] at the end of ''4''.
198* TheHedonist: Drowing himself in the pleasure of drugs and prostitues is his favourite past time activity, but he sadly doesn't get to do much of that while the world is ending. His [[LoreCodex NETRICSA file]] even calls him this.
199* TookALevelInJerkass: By the time of ''BFE'', Rodriguez has become a lot more rude towards Sam compared to his respectful behavior in ''4''. The fact that humanity is on its last legs at this point and they are on a mission he considers pointless likely doesn't help.
200* WeHardlyKnewYe: Only has a brief conversation with Sam at the start of ''BFE'' and is unceremoniously KilledOffscreen a few minutes later. Thankfully, his expanded role in ''4'' considerably fleshes out his character.

203[[folder:Jones]]
204!!Thomas Jones
205!!!'''Voiced by:''' Byron Marc Newsome
206[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ss4_jones.jpg]]
207->[-'''Appearances:'''-] ''VideoGame/SeriousSam4''
208%%[[caption-width-right:350:]]
209Another of Sam's teammates in the A.A.A. Team and Rodriguez' BestFriend.
210----
211* AllLovingHero: After his death, Jones recorded a message to explain why he decided to take part in the war despite just wanting to be an ordinary cook. The reason?
212-->"''I went into this fight knowing I would probably die. And that's OK, if it's the price for saving the planet. But I wanted you to know, to remember, that I didn't give my life for a nation, or a race, or a religion. I joined because I like people. Ordinary human beings of every type and flavor. Not presidents and generals, not even artists and geniuses. Just ordinary old dumbass human beings, doing their thing. That's it. That's enough. Remember that.''"
213* DeadManWriting: A [[VoiceOfTheResistance Radio Free Earth]] broadcast halfway through the game passes a message Jones had recorded in case he dies in the field to the rest of the world.
214* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Seen mowing down Mental's armies with the screaming Rodriguez, following up his BadassBoast with a [[TheQuietOne calm]] ''"What he said"''.
215* MauveShirt: Lives until the end of the third level and receives a decent amount of characterization before his death.
216* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Gets his entire torso bitten off in one bite by a [[EliteMook Khnum]].
217* RedOniBlueOni: Whereas Rodriguez is a HotBlooded drug addict, Jones always keeps his cool.
218* SavedByCanon: {{Subverted|Trope}}. The Jones we meet in ''BFE'' actually turns out to be his brother.
219* TheQuietOne: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Jones isn't as quiet as this trope usually suggests, but he is a lot less talkative than his LargeHam companions.
220* YouDoNOTWantToKnow: When Rodriguez asks Hellfire if he ever told her how his goatee got its nickname, Jones recommends her to ''never'' let him tell her that story.

233Sam's girlfriend and an excellent driver, [[UniversalDriversLicence regardless of vehicle]]. An ActionGirl in her own right, Hellfire's main responsibility is to bring her teammates safely from point A to B.
234----
235* ActionGirl: ''4'' shows that she's just as badass with a gun as her male teammembers.
236* BadassDriver: Drives a bus, a helicopter and a plane to get her teammates where they need to be.
237* BoyishShortHair: In ''4'', which is befitting her {{Tomboy}} personality.
238* CoolShades: Never seen without a pair of sunglasses.
239* DroppedABridgeOnHer: A [[TheGoomba Gnaar]] of all things sneaks up on her near the end of ''BFE''.
240* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Seen crushing an [[FatBastard Emetic Anthropolyp]] with a bus while cheering like a college student.
241-->''"Speedbump!"''
242* GatlingGood: Her preferred weapon. She outright calls herself a "minigun gal" in ''BFE''.
243* GirlishPigtails: In ''BFE''.
244* HiddenDepths: Used to be a pacifist before the war started. Now she's slaughtering aliens by the dozens.
245* OfficialCouple: ''4'' confirms that she and Sam are in a relationship.
246* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Her real name, Fiona Starr, is only mentioned in her [[LoreCodex NETRICSA file]]. Everyone just calls her Hellfire.
247* SavedByCanon: Since both Hellfire and Rodriguez show up in ''BFE'', it is clear that they'll manage to escape the [[LivingShip Harvester Leviathan]] at the end of ''4''.
248* UndignifiedDeath: Eaten by a Gnaar while making a StockScream.
249* YouDontLookLikeYou: Even moreso than Rodriguez. She sports a drastically different design in ''4'' compared to ''BFE''.

257* DroppedABridgeOnHer: KilledOffscreen during a surprise attack on the last EDF headquarters.
258* MissionControl: Gives Sam instructions on his next objective throughout ''BFE'' and to a lesser extent in ''4''.
259* SurroundedByIdiots: Certainly gives off this vibe when having to deal with Sam and the A.A.A. Team's antics.

271A German scientist and the A.A.A.'s scientific advisor.
272----
273* AbsentMindedProfessor: Doesn't always pay attention to what is going on around him.
274* ActuallyPrettyFunny: {{Subverted|Trope}}. He initially pretends to find one of Sam's jokes amusing, only to state that he finds his humor incomprehensible when Sam asks if he's honest.
275* GratuitousGerman: Likes to remind the player that he is, in fact, German by peppering his sentences with German words.
276* HerrDoktor: Has a very thick, stereotypical German accent.
277* MissionControl: Gives Sam a few optional side-missions during ''4''.
278* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: Finding out that HAARP actually is an EarthquakeMachine has him quite bewildered. A [[VoiceOfTheResistance Radio Free Earth]] broadcast in a later mission shows an interview where he's still upset about it.
279* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: His fate after ''4'' is uncertain, since he is not heard from in ''VideoGame/SeriousSam3BFE''.

289----
290* BlatantLies: The end of his [[LoreCodex NETRICSA file]] goes off to claim that Carter is "as handsome as he is intelligent", followed by stating that [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial he definitely did not hack her to add that paragraph]].
291* ConspiracyTheorist: Talks about practically nothing else.
292* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: His ideas about how the world works make the other A.A.A. members look sane by comparison.
293* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Gets down from the bus Hellfire was driving spewing a bit of useless trivia about it.
294-->''"Did you know this exact same model of bus was used in the assassination attempt on the Italian prime minister's personal [=UFOlogist=] in 2052? Now, most people say it was the Illuminati, but I'm pretty sure it was the CIA. Your tax money at work!"''
295* TheFriendNobodyLikes: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. The rest of the team is clearly exasperated by his constant talk about conspiracies, but they still respect his contributions and get along just fine otherwise.
296* HiddenDepths: He's skilled with the pipe organ, which he briefly demonstrates when the team enters the cathedral in Carcassonne.
297* KnewItAllAlong: Is ecstatic when General Brand confirms he was right about HAARP being an EarthquakeMachine.
298* MotorMouth: Tends to do this when he ''really'' gets into one of his theories.
299* NoodleIncident: He apparently leaked some sensitive information on the government in 2103, which got him barred from government service. Mental's invasion shifted some priorities, so Carter got a pardon and was allowed into the EDF.
300* OhCrap: His first reaction to Mental's invasion was "I knew it!", quickly followed by this.
301* TheParanoiac: The only things he seems to trust are himself and his teammates. He calls VHS tapes "the only reliable medium".
302* ShoutOut: His last name is Carter and he was born on Mars, a clear reference to ''Literature/JohnCarterOfMars''.
303* WhatExactlyIsHisJob: Sam, Rodriguez and Jones are the muscle. Hellfire is the transportation. Professor Kiesel is the scientific advisor. General Brand is the leader, with Quinn as his assistant. What Carter's purpose in the team is is anyone's guess, since he mostly just hangs around Father Mikhail.
304* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: His fate after ''4'' is uncertain, since he is not heard from in ''VideoGame/SeriousSam3BFE''.

318* EarlyBirdCameo: He's the soldier enjoying nature in one of the early trailers for ''4''.

322* NerdActionHero: He's a dorky student with a big love for frogs of any kind, but he starts pulling his weight alongside the rest of the team.
323* NewMeat: The newest member of the A.A.A. team.
324* NiceGuy: By far the nicest character in the entire series.
325* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: The rest of the team made sure to never let him forget that his first OneLiner was about losing his shoe, completely ignoring that he wasn't trying to make one in the first place.
326* OnlySaneMan: In spite of being the NewMeat, he's often the voice of reason in the A.A.A. team.
327* PhraseCatcher: After the aforementioned Shoe incident, the team constantly throws some variant of "I lost my shoe" at him, any chance they get.

338-> ''"I have my shotgun and my faith, son. I'm already packed."''

346* GodzillaThreshold: At the beginning of the second level of ''4'', he reveals why he's helping the A.A.A. team reach the Vatican.
347-->''"Technically, like Catholicism, the Holy Grail is... heretical. But this is no time for dogma. Each must do all he can to save the planet."''
348* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:Brand kills him by ramming the sharp end of the False Grail through his chest.]]
349* NiceGuy: Just a pleasant fellow all around. He's pretty much the only one who puts up with Carter's constant talk about conspiracies, simply because he has the patience of a saint.
350* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: His preferred weapon.
351* ShutUpHannibal: Quickly gets fed up when Lord Achriman keeps starting a BreakingSpeech in his BossFight.

365----
366* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Among the many crimes he's committed against Mental's Empire, his wanted poster mentions him having written an offensive song about Mental's mother, as well as heretically suggesting Mental has a mother in the first place.
367* DeathWail: His immediate reaction upon [[spoiler:seeing Ivan die]], followed by a ClusterFBomb.
368* DoNotGoGentle: [[spoiler: Even after his entire squad is killed and he's being overwhelmed with enemies, Ledov refuses to give up and fights his LastStand until he stops breathing.]]

370* GunsAkimbo: Carries around two [[Aka47 AK-74MX]]s that he fires in each hand.
371* HiddenDepths: He's very skilled with the guitar and used to have his own music studio.

385->[-'''Appearances:'''-] ''[[VideoGame/SeriousSam4 Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem]]''
386
387A grumpy partisan in Ledov's Squad. He's never heard of Serious Sam before and thinks the name is stupid.
388----
389* DumbMuscle: Not exactly the brightest of the bunch, but he's loyal as can be and an effective soldier.
390* ComicallyCrossEyed: Briefly shows this after drinking some alcohol with Sam. He's fine again after they reach Ustinov, though.
391* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler:As a OneWingedAngel Brand is holding him captive, Ivan insults him to his face and tells Sam not to submit to his demands. Brand promptly kills him.]]
392* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: [[spoiler: Brand rips him in half after Ivan verbally spits in his face.]]

394* MundaneUtility: Once tried to use a repurposed [[{{BFG}} Draconian Raygun]] to make toast. Unsurprisingly, it didn't go so well.
395* RecruitmentByRescue: Immediately joined the squad after they rescued him from his TooDumbToLive moment below.
396* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: Wields an Autoshotgun in battle, a shotgun with an automatic trigger and a large magazine.
397* TooDumbToLive: He thought [[MeatPuppet getting processed]] sounded exciting and willingly surrendered himself to the Harvester Drones, only figuring out his mistake once the Octanians tried to probe him. Had Ledov's crew not rescued him, he would've become one of the thousands of Processed you kill throughout the game.
398* TookALevelInKindness: He's initially very dismissive of Sam, not getting why Ledov is so excited about meeting him. After seeing Sam backing up his reputation with actions, Ivan warms up to him and shares a drink on their train ride.
399* UndyingLoyalty: Towards the EDF's cause and his squad members.

423->[-'''Appearances:'''-] ''[[VideoGame/SeriousSam4 Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem]]''
424
425The last member of Ledov's Squad, a fairly reserved individual who suddenly showed up and joined the group one day.
426----
427* AmbiguouslyTrained: Vlad's [[LoreCodex NETRICSA file]] mentions that his discipline, skill in combat and general lack of a background suggests that he either used to be part of the military... [[AmbiguousCriminalHistory or a professional criminal]].
428* KilledOffscreen: [[spoiler: He and Natasha are already dead by the time Sam arrives at the Ustinov dam.]]
429* TheQuietOne: He doesn't talk a whole lot.

431* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: Vlad wields a double-barreled coach gun.
432* MysteriousPast: Absolutely nothing is known about Vlad's origin. He just kinda showed up one day with a bag of weapons and told Ledov that he was joining them. Ledov went with it and Vlad has been a trusted part of the group ever since.

439----
440* DeadpanSnarker: Even after Sam proves his worthiness, Rajiv still treats him like an afterthought.
441* HumanAliens: While Jebediah and Rajiv at least look like RubberForeheadAliens, Rolanda just looks like an ordinary black woman who happens to be a bit on the short side.
442* MissionControl: NETRICSA takes this role throughout the actual levels, but the Sirian Great Council instructs Sam on his next objective whenever he finishes business on a planet.
443* OnlySaneWoman: Rolanda is the only one who tries to keep the others focused on what's going on.
444* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: Jebediah is a member of the council and Sam's biggest fan.
445* YouDontLookLikeYou: On a species level. They have virtually no resemblance to the series' Beheaded enemies, who are ''also'' supposed to be Sirians. (The same issue would crop up even worse with The Oracle's mummy in ''BFE'', so it seems to be a perennial issue.)

461* ReformedBully: Used to take General Maxilla's lunch money when they were in grade school, but is now a respectful merchant.
462* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: He wonders if his bullying of Maxilla may have caused his StartOfDarkness.

478* TheMole: A spy supplying the French resistance with inside information on Mental's Horde.
479* OverlyLongName: Just try to say her name out loud. Sam just calls her Charlie, which coincidentally happens to be the nickname her brood mother gave her.
480* ThePrankster: Is apparently well-known for her love of practical jokes. She's completely on-board with the prank Sam wants to pull on Carter, but unfortunately they never get the chance to put it into action.
481* TokenGoodTeammate: The only friendly Arachnoid encountered so far.
482* VocalDissonance: Her incredibly deep voice makes it difficult to tell that she's female.
