3[[folder:Player Character]]
4!!Frank Carlson
5
6The player character. A former Bureau of Secret Service agent under King George V of Britain. After being bombed in the London Blitz, it somehow [[TimeTravel sends him back in time]] to the fateful day when he failed his mission, to try and SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong.
7----
8* ChickMagnet: Georgia is fascinated with him, Deena adores him, Daisy likes him, and even Penny stood up for him when the Bureau canned him. That being said, he only seems to have had eyes for Georgia, but their relationship never developed past PlatonicLifePartners as Carlson's Secret Service career developed.
9* DoomMagnet: In addition to the ''Titanic'', he traveled on the doomed ''Hindenburg'' in the original timeline.
10* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler: Escaping the ship with all the objects will avert World War I, the communist revolution, and World War II, allowing Carlson to retire after a successful career to a world of peace]].
11* FailureHero: The original Carlson, since he failed his mission, thus causing World Wars I and II. [[spoiler:You can still fail it again.]]
12* GoodOldFisticuffs: He'll beat the ever-loving crap out of [[spoiler:Vlad]] when he tries to stop Carlson.
13* KilledOffForReal: Carlson can drown when the ''Titanic'' goes down. If he doesn't get the best ending, he'll die 30 years later, [[spoiler:either by [[StableTimeLoop the Blitz]], [[ThoseWackyNazis German soldiers]], [[RedScare Soviet soldiers]], [[CommieNazis German Communists]], or in a [[NukeEm nuclear explosion]] [[StupidJetpackHitler courtesy of the Luftwaffe]]]].
14* MrFixit: His job after getting canned from the service was to fix broken watches or clocks. He also can repair complicated engineering when he goes to the lower decks. Both his friends Deena and Jack are mystified by this.
15* OvertOperative: At the very least, Daisy and Conkling know Carlson's a spy. And since Daisy knows, the rest of the world [[CannotKeepASecret probably does too]].
16* QuintessentialBritishGentleman: He's British, elegant, and quite intelligent.
17* RichSuitorPoorSuitor: He was the Poor Suitor with Georgia. It wasn't necessarily a lack of money, but the lack of a title, that ended the relationship. According to Georgia, Carlson took it really poorly.
18* TheScapegoat: After [[spoiler:his failure on the mission leads to World War I]], Carlson is made to take the blame and is canned from the service.
19* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: The plot of the story focuses on him attempting to do so.
20* SharpDressedMan: Beatrix mentions he's wearing a fetching French-cut tuxedo. We only see Carlson in shadow, but he is quite dapper.
21[[/folder]]
22
23[[folder:Antagonists]]
24!!Colonel Zeitel
25
26A German Colonel, Zeitel is inspecting German embassies in the United States and Latin America, but he's been rumored to have stolen a priceless artifact and smuggled it on the ship.
27----
28* CulturalPosturing: Is quite dismissive of the British, a TruthInTelevision rivalry at the time. He praises Americans as sharp businessmen, but later on, he will drop all pretense and proclaim the superiority of Germany.
29* DirtyCoward: Will abandon his plan to save his own life.
30* FauxAffablyEvil: He's incredibly polite, and refuses to talk without being introduced by friends. It just makes him feel sinister. His warning not to wander the ship, and a later conversation on the D-Deck reception during [[spoiler:the search for the painting]] only underscore his malice.
31* IdiotBall: Grabs it if you hand him the knockout pen. He stupidly sets it off.
32* IGaveMyWord: He's honest about his dealings. Despite the fact that he could just shoot Carlson and take what he wants, he'll make deals, and honor his end of the bargain. If you [[spoiler:trade him the painting for the antidote to save Georgia, he will not only give the antidote, but truthfully tell you where Georgia is]]. Later, if you [[spoiler:trade the boat pass to get the painting back]], he honors it to the letter.
33* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: If he [[spoiler:shoots Carlson after getting the notebook]], he'll shoot a glancing blow despite being less than ten feet away. [[spoiler: If Carlson refuses to give the painting for the antidote, the bullet is more accurate.]]
34* KilledOffForReal: If you [[spoiler:don't give him the boat pass, regardless of whether or not you give him the painting]], Zeitel goes down with the ship.
35* StuffBlowingUp: Sets a bomb in his room that Carlson must disarm.
36
37!!Willie von Haderlitz
38
39Zeitel's protege, Haderlitz is a young associate professor from Vienna studying the unconscious mind and indigenous mythologies.
40----
41* AffablyEvil: Unlike Zeitel, Willie comes off as completely friendly. [[spoiler:It helps that he's actually not working for Germany.]]
42* AllPsychologyIsFreudian: Freud was quite the hot topic during the time, and Willie wanted to bring his own theories to impress the man.
43* BadassBookworm: He's a professor, but he is an avid fencer.
44* CannotTellAJoke: According to Claris, his jokes are bad, but they make her laugh.
45* {{Foreshadowing}}: If you look at [[spoiler:his ring]], a sharp eye (or Trask) can tell you it has Cyrillic (Russian) text. [[spoiler:Willie's a Tsarist sympathizer.]]
46* GentlemanAndAScholar: As a professor, he is quite learned on ancient history, and incredibly polite.
47* Expy: It is hard to not see the similarities that Willie has with T.E. Lawrence.
48* HarmlessElectrocution: [[spoiler:A rather painful-looking aversion.]]
49* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Electrocuted in the Turkish Bath.]]
50* TheMole: [[spoiler:He worked with Zeitel on encouraging Bolsheviks in exile within Germany and Austria. While a German spy, Willie is also a Tsarist sympathizer, and intends to get the conspirator's names to the Russian secret police.]]
51* NiceGuy: Claris is fond of him because he is so genuine.
52* NumberTwo: He's Zeitel's right-hand man. [[spoiler:A traitorous one.]]
53* SpannerInTheWorks: He's this for [[spoiler:Zeitel. Even if Willie obtains the painting, he gives it to Jack rather then getting it for the Colonel.]]
54* WickedCultured: Versed in Freud, poetry, and other scholarly topics, and is the protege of the evil Colonel Zeitel. [[spoiler:Or not, so the trope is subverted.]]
55
56!!Sasha Barbicon
57
58An Anglo-Serbian owner of an art gallery, Sasha is Zeitel's contact on the ship, and the intended recipient of Zeitel's stolen artifact, and was to give him a smuggled painting, containing secret troop deployments on the back, to German High Command. He also had an affair with Georgia Lambeth.
59----
60* AffablyEvil: Unlike Zeitel, he comes off as charming, despite being so oily.
61* {{Greed}}: Charles outright says Sasha is a greedy bastard. And he is, willing to betray his cause for money. [[spoiler:Vlad will kill him as a result.]]
62* {{Hypocrite}}: He invokes this when Georgia questions him about his terrorist friends, claiming that she, who married for money and title, has no right to lecture him on morality.
63* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Shot by Vlad when Sasha tries to cheat him.]] He'll also [[spoiler:kill Carlson if he catches Carlson stealing Georgia's necklace]].
64* SpannerInTheWorks: He's this for Georgia's plans, since he's [[spoiler:hiding her real necklace at Charles's behest]].
65* TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized: He helps organize Bosnian and Serbian nationalists, people Georgia points out are looking for guns and bombs. [[spoiler:It's the Black Hand terror group, which famously assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand, starting World War I.]]
66
67!!Vlad Demonic
68
69A Serbian nationalist who lost his wife and children to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Stows away on the ''Titanic'', and was intended to be the middleman between Zeitel and Sasha.
70----
71* BerserkButton: He hates Austrians.
72* CrusadingWidower: His wife and children were murdered by Austrians. All he has left is revolution.
73* DirtyCoward: He's much braver than Zeitel or Sasha, but [[spoiler:if he has the notebook or Rubaiyat, he is willing to trade one of them to get a shawl to escape the ship. More pronounced if he only has one of said item, since he won't have the other to fall back on for the Black Hand.]]
74* DisguisedInDrag: He'll dress as a woman to get on a lifeboat, since it's women and children first.
75* FauxAffablyEvil: He's actually very polite to Carlson at their first meeting. But his overly malicious tone and outright glee at the thought of killing Austrians just makes him creepy.
76* GameOverMan: If you try to climb the stairs in the boiler room with the ''Rubaiyat'' while Vlad is there, he will catch you, take it, and shoot you dead.
77* GoodOldFisticuffs: He'll engage in a fistfight with Carlson in the turbine room. [[spoiler:Later, he'll bring a giant wrench.]]
78* KarmaHoudini: No matter what you do, Vlad escapes the sinking ship. [[spoiler:The clincher is whether or not he does so with something that he can sell to finance the Black Hand. If he fails, one can see him [[KarmaHoudiniWarranty getting his just desserts]], as his hope to destroy Europe in war sinks with the Titanic]]
79* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: His surname all but spells it out.
80* NoNonsenseNemesis: He doesn't mess around. [[spoiler:Trying to leave the boiler room with the ''Rubaiyat'' results in him taking it from you and immediately shooting you dead]]. When he realizes you've been interfering with his plans, he attacks you personally in a fistfight. If you [[spoiler:knock out Zeitel with the pen, he ambushes you with a giant wrench as you come down from the funnel to take the notebook]].
81* NonStandardGameOver: If you try to leave [[spoiler:the boiler room with the ''Rubaiyat'']] while Vlad is there, he'll kill you.
82* TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized: Much more militant than Sasha and conversely dedicated to the cause.
83[[/folder]]
84
85[[folder:First-Class Passengers]]
86!!Lady Georgia Lambeth
87
88A former lover of Carlson's, Lady Georgia asked him to meet her when she discovered he was on board, causing him to fail his mission. With his TimeTravel, he can now do his mission and meet her at the same time.
89----
90* BlueBlood: Georgia's father was the Duke of Norwick.
91* DistressedDamsel: [[spoiler:Zeitel poisons her to get Carlson to turn over the painting.]]
92* HappyMarriageCharade: With only the barest of pretense.
93* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: She believed Sasha when he told her members of the Black Hand were just from a Balkan aid society. Although she did wise up.
94* KilledOffForReal: Georgia is stated not to have survived the original timeline. [[spoiler:Carlson can change this by saving her. If she gets the antidote, she leaves on the last lifeboat.]]
95* NeverASelfMadeWoman: Georgia did not inherit her father's title. This could be the reason why she decided to marry Charles.
96* NiceGirl: She's friendly and harmless, and always thinks the best of Carlson.
97* OldFlame: She and Carlson were lovers about five years before the game starts.
98* OutGambitted: She thinks she outplays Charles by hiding her diamond necklace, worth a fortune, with Carlson. [[spoiler:Charles tricked her by switching it with a fake, and she's completely oblivious.]]
99* PlatonicLifePartners: She views Carlson and herself as this, since they could share anything with each other.
100* PrettyInMink: A number of men mention her beauty, and her fur coats.
101* RichSuitorPoorSuitor: Carlson fancied her, but he had no title, so Georgia left him for Charles. Carlson wasn't all that pleased, and Georgia's not blind to the irony of her situation in asking for his help.
102* UpperClassTwit: She's pretty ditzy, and [[spoiler:never figures out her husband deceived her]].
103
104!!Lord Charles Lambeth
105
106Georgia's husband, Lord Lambeth is a titled British gentleman in dire financial straits.
107----
108* TheAlcoholic: The game takes place over about roughly six hours, and Charles spends it plastered. His facial sprite has bleary eyes and flushed skin, too. Georgia doubts he can even see straight.
109* AllAccordingToPlan: He's quite pleased with the scheme he's cooked up to get out of his debts to Andrew Conkling and be rid of Georgia. If it wasn't for the ship sinking, it might have even succeeded.
110* FaceDeathWithDignity: Unlike Conkling, Zeitel, or Vlad, who all try to escape the ship in some way, Charles accepts that he is likely going to die and wishes Carlson luck in his endeavors.
111* HappyMarriageCharade: Charles and Georgia barely even try to act married.
112* ImpoverishedPatrician: He owes Conkling thousands of pounds. Charles lost his money due to poor decision making. But don't tell him that.
113* InVinoVeritas: Drunk enough to tell Carlson, his wife's former lover, that he [[spoiler:switched her diamond necklace for a fake]].
114* KilledOffForReal: Almost cheerfully, stating he'll "go to the devil full of gin" when the ship goes down.
115* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He's not nearly as bad as Zeitel, Sasha, or Vlad. But he is an antagonist to Georgia, and bemoans that if women's suffrage comes about, women will no longer know their proper place.
116* RichInDollarsPoorInSense: The trope taken to its logical conclusion. Bad investments makes the formerly wealthy Lord Lambeth utterly broke and in debt to Conkling.
117* RichesToRags: He was the toast of London five years ago. According to Daisy, they have scarcely enough money for appearances.
118* SmugSnake: He's pretty pleased with himself in screwing over Georgia. But his plan never succeeds.
119--> '''Charles:''' Poverty should remain the domain of the virtuous. I have no taste for it.
120
121!!Daisy Cashmore
122
123A friend of Carlson's and acquaintance of many others, Daisy is an elegant young lady always keen to name-drop and make acquaintances of the rich and powerful.
124----
125* CloudCuckoolander: She's blabbers almost unintelligibly and is obsessed with status seeking.
126* TheDitz: Georgia may have been dense, but she could at least wise up and learn Sasha was up to no good, [[spoiler:even catching that Sasha stole the painting]]. Daisy couldn't even muster that.
127* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Carlson isn't all that pleasant to her, Andrew Conkling considers her preposterous, and even when the ship is sinking, no one wants to be around her.
128* GoldDigger: When she discovers a man making eyes at her, the first thing she wants to know is if he's filthy, or merely stinking, rich.
129* KilledOffForReal: Is so obsessed with being next to the rich and powerful, she doesn't go in the lifeboats of commoners. She will only go on the boats of J.J Astor or Benjamin Guggenheim (both of whom died on the ''Titanic''). She's seen wandering in a daze on the boat deck after all the lifeboats are gone.
130* MotorMouth: Like she's eaten an entire bag of sugar.
131* UpperClassTwit: Probably one of the best examples in a game.
132
133!! Eric Burns
134
135A friendly photographer on his honeymoon, feuding with his wife because he can't stop taking pictures.
136----
137* CameraFiend: Quite the shutterbug.
138* HappilyMarried: Mostly. His honeymoon is strained because he keeps taking photos, but he loves his wife, and she loves him.
139* PlayerNudge: If you give him the prayer card, he'll hint at where [[spoiler:Willie hid his notebook on top of the inactive smokestack]].
140
141!!Max Seidlemann
142
143Buyer and Salesman for Haymaker's department store, and a proud Philadelphian.
144----
145* AllMenArePerverts: He's really looking to hit it off with Claris Limehouse.
146--> '''Max:''' She's got a cabin on D-Deck, near reception. And boy, could I receive her!
147* {{Eagleland}}: Combines traits of both. He's fast talking, slick, and has a serious gambling addiction. But he's nothing but helpful to Carlson.
148* FaceDeathWithDignity: If talked to when all the lifeboats are gone, Max simply sighs, tells Carlson he'd have made a mint on Spruce Street, and braces for the end.
149* TheGamblingAddict: He lost a lot of money to Riviera.
150* GutFeeling: Seidlemann is the only civilian character in the game who guesses Zeitel is up to no good, as Carlson and Penny already have knowledge of his activities.
151* HeroWorshipper: Idolizes Isidor Strauss, and meets him. Unfortunately, it's as the ship is going down.
152* KilledOffForReal: Tragically does not survive the sinking. He can be found on the starboard deck after the boats are gone.
153* NewMoney: Earned his fortune as a buyer for Haymaker's.
154* OddFriendship: He gets along really well with Zeitel. He'll introduce Carlson to him. However, in truth, Seidlemann doesn't trust Zeitel at all.
155* SmokingIsCool: He smokes Old Reds with a flourish. This is a clue: A poem from [[spoiler:Haderlitz]] reads "But still the Vine her ancient ruby yields, And still a Garden by the Water blows", a piece of the ''Rubaiyat''. This is almost a literal metaphor, referring to the box of his cigarettes found in a cafe with lots of greenery. Taking them to Max reveals he knows [[spoiler:Haderlitz hid his notebook on the smokestack]].
156
157!!Henry and Ribeena Gorse-Jones
158
159A chatty elderly British couple who enjoy teasing each other.
160----
161* TheAlcoholic: Henry loves his gin.
162* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Variant. They enjoy Carlson's company so much, [[spoiler:they'll get him into a lifeboat with them]].
163* CoolCrown: Ribeena's hat looks very much like a crown.
164* CoolOldLady[=/=]CoolOldGuy: Both of them are very nice and very helpful.
165* DeadpanSnarker: Henry. So very, very much.
166--> '''Henry''': Quick as a cow, she is.
167* TheDitz: Ribeena more than Henry, but they're both prone to attention-deficit distractions, and change the subject frequently whenever they talk.
168* MotorMouth: Ribeena. Henry's just [[DeadpanSnarker full of snark instead.]]
169* OldSoldier: Henry fought in the British rebellion in India in 1857. Ribeena is just as vicious to social climbers.
170* PermanentlyMissableContent: If you run into them after the ship sinks, you can refuse their offer [[spoiler:to get on a lifeboat with them]]. They'll disappear at this point, and Carlson will need another way to [[spoiler:get off the ship]]. They'll also leave just before the last two lifeboats are launched, if Carlson hasn't reached them yet.
171* PlayerNudge: Ribeena will send Carlson to Trask after he gets [[spoiler:Haderlitz's ring]]. She'll also twice refer him to Eric Burns to get his pictures.
172* SophisticatedAsHell: Henry's not afraid to swear and make lewd innuendos.
173
174!!Claris Limehouse
175
176Rich young debutante traveling with her mother, an acquaintance of Haderlitz.
177----
178* ArrangedMarriage: Her mother is trying to get her to make one with a poor European nobleman. TruthInTelevision for a number of rich American heiresses at the time.
179* IconicItem: Recognizes Willie's gold ring on sight.
180* ItMayHelpYouOnYourQuest: A variant. Claris gives Carlson (her only other friend on the ship) her shawl, telling him to keep it to remember her and [[spoiler:the late Willie]]. Carlson can't use it, but it has another use.
181* KilledOffForReal: She refuses to leave the ship, staying beside [[spoiler: her beloved Willie]].
182* LoveAtFirstSight: She fell for the genuine [[spoiler:Haderlitz after he told her jokes and took her for a walk as they talked about the stars]].
183* OjouRinglets: Her side-swept hair. Her large earrings, which are similar in color to her hair, also give off this vibe.
184* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: She hates the men her mother sets her up with, because they just want her family's money, and much prefers the kind Willie.
185* SpannerInTheWorks: For [[spoiler:Zeitel, since she's the one who steers Carlson towards the notebook]]. She can also [[spoiler:stop World War I or the Russian Revolution with her shawl, as it can be traded to retrieve the notebook or Rubaiyat from Vlad]].
186
187!!Andrew Conkling
188
189Steel baron and owner of Conkling Steel. Rich and desperate to get a stolen letter back from his former servant.
190----
191* AssholeVictim: He's one of the most loathsome members of the cast, and no matter what, he's not getting off the ship alive.
192* BabyFactory: Wanted to use his maid to get a baby, since his wife is barren. While all parties agree the sex was consensual, the fact that the Conklings would steal the baby and fire the mother puts them in a negative light.
193* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Makes bad steel, and is only really concerned that the knowledge getting out will ruin him.
194* DirtyCoward: Attempts to bribe his way into a lifeboat, even saying they can throw out somebody else. He doesn't even try to meet Jack or Sheila in person for the letter, instead insisting on using Carlson as the intermediary.
195* HateSink: The man's only care is his money and reputation. He tries to paint himself in a good light to Carlson, but cares more that his company's substandard steel [[note]]In his defense, even the best steel-making methods in that era were naturally inferior to today's procedures, but on the other hand, if the steel was considered bad by 1910s standards...[[/note]] will be revealed to the public rather than the lives it puts at risk. He just saw Sheila as a BabyFactory, and when put in real danger, quickly shows himself to be a coward, lacking Zeitel's suave demeanor or even Vlad's belief in his cause. Even ''Charles'', drunkard that he is, behaves with more dignity at the end than Conkling.
196* KilledOffForReal: Will get shot by Third Officer Morrow when panicking and trying to force his way onto a lifeboat if you speak to him. If not, he's left on the ship as it goes down.
197* RichInDollarsPoorInSense: He thinks ignoring someone with a gun is a good idea because he can bribe them. Money isn't a very good bulletproof vest.
198* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Attempts this, but fails horribly.
199* ThisCannotBe: Freaks out when the ship is going down.
200* TooDumbToLive: Attempts to bribe (and later even push) his way onto a boat, despite a gun being pointed at him.
201
202!!Beatrix Conkling
203
204Andrew's wife and an interior designer
205----
206* BadSamaritan: She lavished "every kindness" on her maid, only for her to run off, [[spoiler:because Mrs. Conkling wants to steal her baby]].
207* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: She thinks Zeitel is on the up-and-up.
208* KilledOffForReal: It's implied in a conversation she will die on the ''Lusitania'' during World War I. [[spoiler:Of course, Carlson can prevent World War I from happening so it's not known what would happen to her in any scenarios where she escapes the Titanic.]]
209* LawOfInverseFertility: Beatrix tries very hard to make a baby. As it turns out, she's barren.
210* SmokingIsCool: She smokes as much as Max. [[spoiler:Also counts as very much the "evil" in GoodSmokingEvilSmoking.]]
211* UncertainDoom: If Andrew is shot by Morrow, she seems to lose the will to live, leaving it unclear if she survives.
212
213!!Leland Trask
214
215An American psychic who can peer into the spirit world.
216----
217* DreamingOfThingsToCome: He's got premonitions about the ''Titanic'', and tells Beatrix she will meet destiny on the ''Lusitania''.
218* FaceDeathWithDignity: After spending his life communing with spirits, he's not too distressed about meeting them face to face.
219* HintSystem: He'll give hints on items you might find.
220* KilledOffForReal: Declares himself too old and too fat for a lifeboat and stays aboard the ship as it sinks.
221* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: A lot of Trask's psychic readings are more about common sense and minor details than anything else, but he just might have mystic powers. [[spoiler:He's definitely got ''some'' kind of mystical connection, as he is aware that Carlson has traveled to the past and has changed history, urging him not to fail.]]
222* SweetTooth: A deleted line of dialogue indicated that Trask has an interest in recently introduced Oreo cookies. A few sprites do feature him clearly holding one in his hand.
223
224!!Isidor and Ida Straus
225
226Two real life passengers aboard the ''Titanic''. Max Seidlemann wishes to meet Isidor, one of the founders of Macy's.
227----
228* ChekhovsGun: Isidor loses his cufflink. Finding it allows Frank to make the purser busy enough for him to get the key to the Renault and find the painting.
229* TheGhost: They are repeatedly mentioned throughout the game but do not appear.
230* GoingDownWithTheShip: True to life, they remain together as the ship goes down. This is mentioned if the player is unable to get Frank off the ship and he speaks with Max.
231[[/folder]]
232
233[[folder:Second-Class Passengers]]
234!!Penny Pringle
235
236Carlson's contact. His failure to meet her in the original timeline kicked off a cavalcade of terrible events.
237----
238* ChekhovsGun: Gives Carlson a knockout pen that can [[spoiler:incapacitate Zeitel when Carlson finds the notebook]].
239* DeadpanSnarker: Not to the extent of Henry Gorse-Jones. But she has her moments.
240--> '''Penny:''' That steward was looking for you. Find him, and kick him smart in the shins.
241* HintSystem: Knocking on her door will have her tell the player where to go next -- at least until the ship starts to sink.
242* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She can be a real bitch, but she is dedicated to the mission and helps a wounded Carlson [[spoiler:whether it was Zeitel or Vlad who did it]]. She likewise attested to Carlson's loyalty as an agent in the original timeline, but this failed to prevent his termination.
243* MissionControl: Present on the ship rather then off-camera. Justified, given the time period.
244
245!!Rev. Edgar Trout
246
247An American priest recently returning from Nyasaland, where his wife Emily contracted parasites.
248----
249* DarkAndTroubledPast: His mission at Nyasaland was ''not'' successful, owing to an epidemic of Blood Flukes. Nearly everyone assigned to the mission contracted the parasites and died as a result. [[spoiler:Unable to take the strain any further, Trout embezzled the remaining mission funds to pay for tickets home, even though his wife insisted on returning the money. Then Emily would die just before reaching Port Said, leaving Trout alone.]]
250* {{Eagleland}}: Has some hints, with his distaste of communism.
251* FreudianExcuse: His rather dogmatic reliance on his faith can be attributed to the tragedy at Nyasaland and the death of his wife. [[spoiler:Also the fact that he's a bit of a {{Hypocrite}} in stealing money to pay for a ticket home, thus committing the very sins he accuses other passengers of committing.]]
252* HappilyMarried: Formerly, as his wife Emily died in Nyasaland due to [[https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/schistosomiasis Blood Flukes.]]
253* HonestJohnsDealership: Pretty pushy trying to get his donations. [[spoiler:Possibly because he's covering up that he embezzled money to pay for his ticket home.]]
254* KilledOffForReal: Second-class men didn't fare so well on the ''Titanic'', and neither does he.
255* LaughingMad: [[spoiler:Laughs uncontrollably when the ship goes down, thinking God is punishing him for stealing from his mission to buy his ticket home.]]
256* NobleBigot: He's not a bad person ''per se'', but he's definitely intolerant of communism, and considers Haderlitz visiting an "unchaperoned young woman" to be scandalous. As a Reverend, it's not unusual.
257* PlayerNudge: If Carlson answers correctly how long the biblical Great Flood lasted while the ship is going down, he'll point you to Claris Limehouse. If you answer what city Paul was traveling to when the ship sank, [[spoiler:Rome]], he'll point you to the Hackers.
258[[/folder]]
259
260[[folder:Third-Class Passengers]]
261!!Shailagh Hacker
262
263A young Irish mother and former maid of the Conklings. She was the one who stole Andrew Conkling's letter.
264----
265* BabyFactory: She was supposed to give the Conklings a baby, since Beatrix is barren. Shailagh agreed, but when she learned the Conklings were going to steal the baby from her and fire her, she fought back.
266* BewareTheNiceOnes: While generally not a confrontational person, threatening Eddie, her baby is ''very'' much guaranteed to showcase that she is no pushover.
267* GoshDarnItToHeck: Invokes this, telling her ClusterFBomb-happy brother there is no need for foul language.
268* IHaveYourWife: She ''panics'' when [[spoiler: Mrs. Conkling steals her baby from her]].
269* MamaBear: You do not screw with her son. Shailagh will ruin you if you do.
270* ShrinkingViolet: Without her brother around, Shailagh's a lot less aggressive.
271* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: She never realized the letter she stole was so dangerous, she just thought there might be a pound or two in the envelope.
272
273!!Jack Hacker
274
275Shailagh's firm and thuggish brother.
276----
277* {{Blackmail}}: Wants Conkling to give him $5,000 for the letter, enough to get Shailagh started in America. He considers it chump change to what Conkling actually makes.
278* ClusterFBomb: The game has a few "damns" here and there, but Jack swears more than everyone else put together, and he's only seen three times.
279* FaceDeathWithDignity: Planned on staying aboard as long as his sister and nephew could get off the ship, [[spoiler:but was offered to help row one of the remaining lifeboats and thus manages to escape.]]
280* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Unlike most third-class men, averted. He's given a seat in the lifeboat by Captain Smith himself.]]
281* PoliteVillainsRudeHeroes: In comparison to the FauxAffablyEvil Zeitel or Conkling, who tries to pass himself off as a reasonable person, Jack is to-the-point and very thuggish. He's also much more moral than either of them, claiming and proving that he keeps his word, willing to do whatever it takes to help Sheila and Eddie or anyone else he comes across. Contrast to Zeitel who is actively involved with political espionage and the corrupt Conkling.
282* SpannerInTheWorks: He's this for [[spoiler:Zeitel]], potentially. If [[spoiler:Haderlitz claims the painting before Carlson, he'll give the painting to Jack, while Jack will give it to Carlson if he gets Eddie back from Mrs. Conkling]].

284
285[[folder:''Titanic'' Crew]]
286!! John Smethells
287
288The assigned steward for both Carlson and Haderlitz.
289----
290* FascinatingEyebrow: His left eyebrow is in a very high arc.
291* HeKnowsAboutTimedHits: He serves as the tutorial. You can skip it if you want.
292* QuintessentialBritishGentleman: Has the accent and the polite demeanor.
293* TheStoic: When [[spoiler:Haderlitz is killed]], the only thing he can say is that it is "most regrettable."
294* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Smethells is not seen again after ''Titanic'' hits the iceberg. However, all of the male first class stewards perished in the sinking, so it's likely that he met the same fate.
295
296!! Third Officer Morrow
297
298A reasonable veteran of the Boer War who assists in various shipboard duties.
299----
300* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: A variation throughout the mission. It's not that Carlson is nice, it's that Carlson stays calm and helps others. Naturally, if the player has Carlson choose an option to freak out, Morrow doesn't help. Prior to the sinking, what makes Morrow willing to bend the rules for Carlson is his willingness to listen and understand Morrow's tales and concerns.
301* BerserkButton: Don't offer to buy him a drink. Just don't. His commanding officer got most of their unit killed because he was drunk.
302* CompositeCharacter: He's an amalgamation of Captain Smith (a veteran of the Boer War), William Murdoch (the officer on duty that evening), Charles Lightoller (the officer in charge of the port-side evacuation), and Herbert Pitman (the actual third officer).
303* FaceDeathWithDignity: He stays on the ship, trying to launch as many life boats as he can, before potentially securing the last spot for Carlson, asking only that he tells the world of the crew's actions during the ship's final moments.
304* KilledOffForReal: Remains on the ship after the boats are gone.
305* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: The actual third officer was Herbert Pitman, and he survived the sinking.
306* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He is the one who shoots Conkling when the latter tries to bribe his way onto a life boat.
307
308!! Buick Riviera
309
310The suave French blackjack dealer.
311----
312* TheBet: Quite an important one.
313--> '''Riviera:''' My stakes? Why, mon ami, we play for souls. Or something equivalent.
314* FaceDeathWithDignity: He remains in the smoking room during the sinking, intending to go down with the ship.
315* HeroOfAnotherStory: Quite literally so, as he was previously [[VideoGame/DustATaleOfTheWiredWest working at Diamondback]] thirty years ago. He's now made himself a proper fortune and reputation.
316* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: Always has a cigar in his hand, befitting his suave demeanor.
317* LargeHam: Fairly over the top in speech and demeanor.
318* PunnyName: His name is also a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buick_Riviera brand of car]].
319
320!! The Purser
321
322The officer in charge of the ship's safe.
323----
324* BagOfHolding: Frank can check in the objects he's found with the purser to keep them safe.
325* KilledOffscreen: Titanic's purser went down with the ship.
326* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: The real purser was Hugh Walter [=McElroy=].
327
328!! Lift Attendant
329
330The operator of the first class elevator.
331----
332* GoingDownWithTheShip: All of the lift attendants died in the sinking.
333* NiceGuy: He's quite chatty with Frank, sharing some gossip that serves as hints to what's happening on board.
334
335!! Other Crew
336
337Three other men who work on the ship handling electrical, mechanical, and other security duties.
338----
339* GoingDownWithTheShip: Two of them remain on the boat deck if Frank fails to get into a lifeboat. Seaman 3, who Frank meets in the control room, seems to be the only one who survives.
340* NPCRoadblock: They will keep you from entering the bridge, the engine room, and the cargo hold without permission. During the sinking, they seal off lower areas of the ship.
341* [[ThoseTwoGuys Those Three Guys]]: Keep showing up as a group, and serve as a bit of comic relief.
342[[/folder]]
343
344[[folder:Other Characters]]
345!!Deena and Jack
346
347Friends of both Carlson and Georgia, Deena is a young heiress who likes to travel, and Jack is an American and Carlson's confidante.
348----
349* CoolCar: Jack has a sweet set of wheels in a picture in Carlson's memories album.
350* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Both Deena and Jack are trying to get Carlson to move on with his life.
351* NiceGirl: In a postcard she sends Carlson, Deena offers to get him a job with her father's firm after Frank is canned.
352* NonIdleRich: Jack travels and works, but he's wealthy enough to go everywhere across the world, including New York, Tunis, and Bombay.
