43
44A Canadian computer genius hired by President Nikoladze to keep the world blind to Georgia's activities, Masse is ''the'' man who instigated the Georgian Information Crisis by using his "Masse Kernels" to disrupt information networks.
45----
46* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:His "Masse Kernels" show up in the hands of [[PrivateMilitaryContractors Displace International]] in the third game, where they are ultimately destroyed for good.]]
47* TheCracker: Instigated the "Information Crisis" that the conflict in the original ''Splinter Cell'' is named for.
48* EvilCounterpart: To Grimdottir. They're both hackers who perform similar functions in their respective organisations; Masse willingly plunges several countries into crisis for money, while Grim works to reverse the destruction caused by it.
49* EvilGenius: He singlehandedly threw the entire America into chaos with his Information warware skills alone.
50* InsufferableGenius: He's a genius hacker who revolutionized Information warfare and he's also a total {{Jerkass}}, who treats everyone around him like utter garbage.
51* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: He [[KnowWhenToFoldEm disappears entirely]] halfway through the main game, and only gets his comeuppance 2 months after Nikoladze's death.
52* NonActionGuy: He's just TheCracker and has no fighting capability. When Fisher finds him in the Kola Cell mission, he runs away for cover in fear.
53* PostClimaxConfrontation: Fisher tracks him and kills him after assassinating Nikoladze.
54* PostEndGameContent: The PC and Platform/{{Xbox}} versions of the first ''Splinter Cell'' include three additional missions after the Presidential Palace one. The first of them has Fisher infiltrating an abandoned factory near Severomorsk in the Kola peninsula to find Masse, kill him and retrieve his algorithms.

61!!!'''Voiced by:''' Russell Yuen
62!!!'''Appears in:''' ''VideoGame/SplinterCell1''
63
64A rogue high-ranking officer of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) who allies himself with Nikoladze. He operates from the Chinese embassy in Rangoon, Myanmar.
65----
66* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: His name. The script assumes "Feirong" is the surname, but anyone with a passing knowledge of [[UsefulNotes/ChineseLanguage Mandarin]] will know "Kong" is the surname and Feirong is the given name. Even moreso given that in Mandarin, surnames that are longer than one syllable are unusual.
67* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: After Nikoladze deserts him, he tries to flee the scene only to have his plans foiled by Fisher; anticipating the arrival of Chinese special forces, he proceeds to poison himself by drinking a bottle of tainted alcohol rather than face arrest.
68* RenegadeRussian: Chinese version, as in an army general from a Communist regime who goes rogue and threatens world peace.
69* RogueSoldier: A high-ranking officer who leads a renegade faction of the PLA.
70* SpitefulSuicide: Feirong attempts to do this after Fisher foils his plans, claiming he does not want there to be peace between the United States and China. It doesn't work out for Feirong, as Fisher is still able to obtain evidence that proves Feirong was acting without approval from the Chinese government. Feirong still dies, though.
71* TakingYouWithMe: He murders several of his own men who tried to disarm him when he proceeds to poison himself to death.
72* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Nikoladze flees Myanmar and leaves Feirong to fend for himself when Third Echelon closes in on them. Feirong does ''not'' react well to this, and is left at the mercy of Fisher who's uncovered their alliance.

78!!Suhadi Sadono
79[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scsadono.jpg]]
80!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DavidKaye (English), Jean-Pierre Michaël (European French)
81!!!'''Appears in:''' ''VideoGame/SplinterCellPandoraTomorrow''
82
83The leader of an East Timorese-based revolutionary/terrorist group called "Darah Dan Doa" ("Blood and Prayer"), Suhadi Sadono is one of the two members of the BigBadDuumvirate in the second game.
84----
85* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Despite not displaying any remarkable combat skills previously, when you go up against him at the end of the game he has crazy good aim and can kill Sam with ''one shot'' from his pistol. You're not supposed to fight him directly.
86* BigBadDuumvirate: With Norman Soth.
87* CigarChomper: Several videos and cinematics show him with a cigar in his mouth.
88* DeadMansSwitch: His "Pandora Tomorrow" scheme involves several sleeper agents in the U.S. who will detonate smallpox bombs if he is killed or captured, in order to prevent the U.S. interfering with his revolutionary uprising.
89* DistractedByTheSexy: Apparently because Karlthson was a woman, he couldn't resist her requests to have full access to his facility when she was captured.
90* {{Expy}}: '''Heavily'' based on UsefulNotes/CheGuevara, as not only does he look and dress like Che and share similar beliefs about [[TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized violent revolution]], but it's even revealed in-game that Sadono's image and likeness have been appropriated for [[MerchandiseDriven shirts and other merchandise]] as a symbol of "ironic" rebellion. Meanwhile, Sadono's background as a former CIA-backed anti-communist guerilla turned anti-American terrorist leader certainly draws inspiration from UsefulNotes/OsamaBinLaden.
91* FarEastAsianTerrorists: A terrorist from East Timor (former Indonesian province before it became independent), in Southeast Asia. He was likely a pro-Indonesian militiaman prior to East Timor's independence.
92* FeetOfClay: Although the news media portrays Sadono as a cunning and capable guerrilla leader, it's discovered over the course of the campaign that, though charismatic, he's rather incompetent and his successes are mostly due to his allies and his insurance policy.
93* FrontlineGeneral: He's seen taking to the field alongside his rebel troops. This is part of his EvilPlan; since his death would result in a mass terror attack, American forces are forced to withdraw whenever he shows up rather than risk killing him.
94* LimaSyndrome: Toward [[UsefulNotes/{{CIA}} Ingrid Karlthson]].
95* {{Narcissist}}: He's quite vain and arrogant. In one cutscene he is seen fighting alongside his troops, and he stops to wink at the camera.
96* OneManArmy: One of Pandora Tomorrow's goals is to turn Sadano into one of these. Since millions will die in smallpox bombings if he is killed in combat, whenever he takes to the field, U.S. forces are forced to retreat so as not to risk killing him, making him look like some sort of superhero to the local populace. Part of Sadano's reason for coming up with the scheme was likely to become a FakeUltimateHero and play into his ego.
97* PsychopathicManchild: According to Karlthson, he has a child's view of war, seeing no difference between soldier and civilian, and seeing them all as legitimate targets.
98* YouCantThwartStageOne: You have a perfect opportunity to shoot Sadano in the face in the game's prologue level, well before he's implemented his Pandora Tomorrow scheme and without putting any of the hostages at risk. This results in an immediate mission failure for deviating from your orders to avoid engaging with the enemy.

102!!Norman Soth
103[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scnormansoth.jpg]]
104!!!'''Voiced by:''' Stephen Croce
105!!!'''Appears in:''' ''VideoGame/SplinterCellPandoraTomorrow''
106
107A former CIA agent who took up sides with Suhadi Sadono, Soth is one of the [[BigBadDuumvirate two villains]] of the second game.
108----
109* AnArmAndALeg: His "disagreement with a landmine" cost him his entire right leg and some fingers on his left hand.
110* BaldOfEvil: He's a hairless terrorist.
111* BigBadDuumvirate: With Suhadi Sadono.
112* CodeName: Several. In the 90s he went under the name Richard Arbor. After being abandoned by the CIA he took on a name Jonathan Poindexter, with "Mortified_Penguin" as an E-Mail nickname.
113* DeepCoverAgent: How he started out. Then he went [[FaceHeelTurn too deep]].
114* DragonInChief: Sadono is the face of Pandora Tomorrow, but it's Soth that does all the planning and all the legwork.
115* DragonTheirFeet: [[spoiler: Despite the capture of Sadono, Soth still owns one last unit of ND-133s, and attempts to unleash the smallpox virus in the LAX Airport on various unsuspecting travallers for maximum exposure. The final mission of Pandora Tomorrow consists in stopping all of this.]]
116* EvilCripple: Has a prosthetic leg, courtesy of the car bomb that he blamed on Uncle Sam.
117* FaceHeelTurn: He was a former CIA agent before going rogue.
118* {{Foil}}: To Sam Fisher. Both are secret agents who performed top secrets operation for the US government. But while Fisher, in spite of the disagreements with Lambert, always remained both loyal to his country and supported by NSA, Soth was abandoned by his higher-ups, to which he responded by starting a violent vendetta against the US.
119* HandicappedBadass: Is apparently still fit enough to lead commando raids even with only one leg. His prosthetic limb also doesn't handicap him in any way during the final shootout.
120* NotInThisForYourRevolution: Soth doesn't give a damn about Sadono's revolution. He just wants to get revenge on America for burning him all those years ago.
121* RogueAgent: Was "burned" by the Agency while in deep cover in Indonesia. This got him blown up by the people he was embedded with. He survived, minus one leg, and ended up hooking up with Sadono to get revenge on America.
122* WesternTerrorists: A former CIA agent who turned against his country.
123* YoungerThanHeLooks: He's only 44 years old at the time of the game, but looks an old man in his sixties.

133!!!'''Appears in:''' ''VideoGame/SplinterCellPandoraTomorrow'' | ''VideoGame/SplinterCellChaosTheory'' | ''Splinter Cell: Essentials''
134
135->''"America is sick, Sam... she's dying! The politicians, the bureaucrats, the whispered backroom deals, it's all life support for a sick old woman who was dead a long time ago."''
136
137Shetland is the CEO of Displace International. He is a former Force Recon Marine who was considered for the Splinter Cell program, and a friend of Sam's. [[spoiler:He is also the BigBad of the third game, trying to spark World War III in North Korea through the utilization of the destruction of the USS Walsh.]]
138----
139* AscendedExtra: He first appeared as a supporting character in ''Pandora Tomorrow''. He has a ''much bigger'' role in ''Chaos Theory''.
140* BaldOfEvil: Or in the least thinning brown hair.
141* BigBad: [[spoiler:Of ''Chaos Theory''.]]
142** BigBadFriend: To Fisher.
143* CoolOldGuy: Lampshaded by Grim in ''Pandora Tomorrow'', who comments: "Could almost believe the two of you are competing for the title "World's Most Amoral Reluctantly-Aging Badass".
144* CorruptCorporateExecutive: He is the head of Displace International, and is hellbent on expanding its power even if it means world war.
145* DestinationDefenestration: [[spoiler: At the end of their showdown, Sam throws him through a rooftop window to his death after either shooting him or stabbing him.]]
146* EliteMooks: Shetland's handful of personal bodyguards are equipped with thermal vision goggles and are the only enemies in the original 4 games to be able to see Fisher even in complete darkness.
147* EvilFormerFriend: A big case of this between him and Fisher.
148* FaceHeelTurn: In time for his turn as BigBad.
149* FromNobodyToNightmare: In ''Pandora Tomorrow'', he's at first a hostage to the Darah Dan Doa, then contributes to a mission briefing and has his contractors cover Sam with sniper fire. Come the sequel, [[spoiler: he's the big bad, along with Ottomo, and not only manages to start a second Korean War, but also very nearly gets Japan involved.]]
150* ISurrenderSuckers: Tries to pull this on [[spoiler:Sam]] during their last confrontation in ''Chaos Theory''. [[spoiler:It doesn't work.]]
151* KnightTemplar
152* MajorlyAwesome
153* MotiveRant: [[spoiler:He gives a pretty impressive rant on what drove him to fund terrorists and try to start World War III. Basically after being disillusioned with the American political system, its corruption and the way it treats soldiers as disposable tools. He wants to shake up the world order in the hopes that whatever comes out the other side is an improvement.]]
154* PuzzleBoss: The "final confrontation" with Shetland involves the player navigating a maze of pipes to defuse a series of bombs while dealing with a handful of EliteMooks. The actual short hand-to-hand fight on the roof that follows is more of a CutsceneBoss encounter.
155* RetiredBadass: To a degree, since he's still on the field as part of Displace; he only actually left the Marines after being KickedUpstairs over a friendly-fire incident involving another Marine under his command.
156* SemperFi: Formerly.
157** ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: Force Recon specifically.
158* VillainHasAPoint: Despite how [[WellIntentionedExtremist extreme]] his solution and reaction to the problem is, Shetland has an absolutely valid point about the depths of the corruption in the United States government, and their disposal of soldiers, not only due to it having betrayed him personally, but from what we see of this later in the series in "Double Agent" and "Conviction" alike, with Sam now on the receiving end of their treachery.
159* YouWouldntShootMe: [[spoiler:He tells Sam that he wouldn't shoot an old friend. Sam either [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim does shoot him]] or puts his gun away and [[ExactWords stabs him]] when Shetland tries to kill him.]]
160* YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters:
161-->'''Sam:''' You're a murderer, and a war criminal!\
162'''Shetland:''' Those are the only names the state has for the revolutionaries, Sam! You only become a hero after the war is over.

170
171The vice president of the VIP protection division of Displace International, he is the BigBad of the third game. [[spoiler:Part of the way in, it is determined that he is instead TheDragon to Shetland.]]
172----
173* AssholeVictim: Given the fact that he tried to start World War III, murders his own men, was involved in kidnapping Morgenholt, and was a war criminal before that, there's a lot of enjoyment in turning him into a corpse.
174* AxeCrazy
175* BigBad: [[spoiler:Subverted. He is really TheDragon.]]
176* FourEyesZeroSoul
177* MortonsFork: The second of two characters in the game who Sam will kill regardless of which button you press to take him out after interrogating him.

182
183!!!'''Appears in:''' ''VideoGame/SplinterCellChaosTheory''
184
185A naive computer theorist who wants to promote world peace through his protection by Displace International. [[spoiler:His "Dvorak" algorithms are used by Shetland in an attempt to provoke World War III.]] Mentioned in the second game, he shows up in the third.
186----
187* TheDreaded: Rumored to have gone insane by the events of the third game, he becomes this to Third Echelon in their investigation of the stolen algorithms on which he has intimate knowledge, having reverse-engineered Philip Masse's handiwork from the first game.
188* TheEvilGenius: In the third game, though he's not evil, nor does he know what is being done with his work until it is too late for him.
189* ReluctantMadScientist: He is a chronically naive computer theorist who only wants to use his [[HollywoodHacking unblockable magic hacker-program]] to promote the course of 'world peace'. Too bad he chose [[spoiler:Shetland]] as a partner.
190* SmartPeopleWearGlasses
191* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom
192* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:Shetland]] murders him once Zherkezhi realizes that [[spoiler:Shetland]] is using him.

197
198!!!'''Voiced by:''' Luis des Cespedes
199!!!'''Appears in:''' ''VideoGame/SplinterCellChaosTheory''
200
201----
202* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Everyone aboard the ''Maria Narcissa'' absolutely '''hates''' Lacerda. Lots of mentions of him complaining about petty things, and the people he's seen talking with are eager for him to go away. Multiple characters you interrogate at knifepoint don't really seem to care when Fisher makes it clear he's going to kill Lacerda.
203* AintTooProudToBeg: Naturally, once Sam has him at knife-point.
204%%* AssholeVictim
205%%* DirtyCoward
206* HeKnowsTooMuch: Lambert notes that the algorithms his people tortured out of Morgenholt are much too dangerous to risk him selling them to someone else - the entire point of the mission to the ''Maria Narcissa'' is to ensure Lacerda doesn't leave it alive.
207* MinorCrimeRevealsMajorPlot: An investigation into a kidnapping undertaken by small-time Peruvian guerillas ultimately leads to dealing with an orchestrated attempt to start WorldWarIII.
208* MortonsFork: He's the first of two characters who Sam kills after interrogating him, regardless of which button you press.
209* SmallNameBigEgo: He talks surprisingly big for the leader of such a small group. Naturally, the only people who even vaguely tolerate him are the foreign mercenaries he pays the big bucks to.
210* UnwittingPawn: He doesn't even know ''why'' he was contracted to kidnap Morgenholt, only that whoever wanted it paid him a lot of money.

213!!John Brown's Army
214
215[[folder:Emile Dufraisne]]
216!!Emile Dufraisne
217!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KeithSzarabajka
218!!!'''Appears in:''' ''VideoGame/SplinterCellDoubleAgent''
219
220The leader of John Brown's Army. Emile was a wealthy Mississippi citizen who sold all of his possessions in order to fund his revolutionary army. He believes America has become corrupt and has to be taken down and rebuilt.
221----
222* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Subverted in the Xbox 360[=/=]PC version. If you try to stealth kill him, he'll break out of Sam's grip and assume a fighting stance, but Sam will just drive his nasal bone into his brain with a single strike to the face, killing him. Played straight in the Xbox[=/=][=PS2=] version in which you have a full-on FinalBoss fight against him, due to him having a machine gun and Sam having lost his pistol inside a maze of laser tripmines.
223* BadBoss: He executes [[spoiler:Enrica]] if the bomb fails to go off on the cruise ship, suspecting [[spoiler:she]] was a mole who sabotaged the device, even though he had no evidence.
224* BaldOfEvil: Very much an example of such.
225* BigBad: Of ''Double Agent.''
226* CompositeCharacter: He's an {{Expy}} of both Lambert as the primary leader of the organization, and of the various runners Sam previously worked with due to his more hands-on tendencies; both Shanghai and Kinshasa involve him taking Fisher to the target area for Sam to perform his mission while Emile negotiates with other groups.
227* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Resembles the late actor ''Creator/TellySavalas'', which is fitting considering that he was famous for playing villains (one of the most notable roles being the James Bond villain Ernst Blofeld, who like Emile leads a paramilitary international criminal/terrorist organisation).
228* EqualOpportunityEvil: Played with. Despite being a militia leader, he's got a female liberal as his second-in-command. Likewise, he's taken his organization's name from a famous abolitionist.
229* IfYoureSoEvilEatThisKitten: He really likes pulling this, even on operatives who have already proven their loyalty.
230* ProperlyParanoid: He's got no less than two [[DeepCoverAgent deep cover agents]] in his organization. Sadly, his tests don't prove anything since he's rather forgiving of mistakes comparatively speaking.
231* RightWingMilitiaFanatic: Is the leader of one of these, though John Brown's Army is much more effective than most examples thereof.
232* TakingYouWithMe: When the Feds storm his secret HQ, he tries to use his nuclear bomb to blow up New York City rather than be taken alive.

240----
241* DumbMuscle: He's a big brute who's not big on things like planning and tactics.
242* TheDragon: To Dufraisne.
243** DragonTheirFeet: [[spoiler:He's the only high-ranking member of the JBA who isn't killed or captured in the raid on their headquarters; there's an unlockable bonus mission where Sam tracks him down afterwards to stop the final bomb.]]
244* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: His profile says he's racist, [[InformedFlaw though he never expresses it in game]].
245* ProperlyParanoid: He despises Sam, believing him to be bad news. His instincts turn out to be right in the end.
246* UnskilledButStrong: He has nowhere near the level of close combat training that Sam has, but if you try to stealth kill him he manages to counter and briefly give Sam some trouble through sheer brute strength. Sam quickly disables him with a few surgical strikes before snapping his neck, though.

253
254A ruthless young member of John Brown's Army.
255----
256* AffablyEvil: He's very nice to the people he considers his friends, but extremely cruel to the ones he does not.
257* TheBrute: He's prone to KickTheDog moments when Sam won't do it.
258* EvilCripple: Downplayed. He has a pacemaker in his chest to keep his heart regular, but he's otherwise capable and healthy. You can kill him with your pistol's EMP attachment in version 2 of the game, however.
259* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Has complete and utter faith in Sam Fisher's loyalty to the JBA.

267
268A former student activist who has found herself working for John Brown's Army.
269----
270* AffablyEvil: Despite being blackmailed into becoming a member of the JBA, she's still a member and assists in their terrorist activities.
271* DefectingForLove: In the Xbox/[=PS2=]/Wii version of ''Double Agent'', Sam develops a genuine romantic attachment to Enrica, and is very pissed when [[spoiler:she's killed by Third Echelon]]. In the Xbox 360/PC version, though, Sam's just playing her for info, and is perfectly happy to kill her in cold blood in order to achieve OneHundredPercentCompletion. She does help Sam by unlocking a coded door for him if he lets her live instead, but he can kill her before she walks away after the door is opened, and no option to knock her unconscious is available.
272* TheMedic: Serves in this role.
273* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Has a Ph.D. and is working for terrorists.
274* NotInThisForYourRevolution: Unlike the other members of the [=JBA=], who are all hardcore anti-government militants, Enrica is essentially an Ivy League educated revolutionary wannabe who only sticks around because Emile has enough dirt on her to bury her.
275* OptionalSexualEncounter: It's possible, though not required, for Sam and Enrica to hook up in ''Double Agent''.

300* CorruptCorporateExecutive: The CEO of a powerful PMC, Galliard is actually working for Megiddo in order to take down the United States.
