The Warden’s Ghosts
In General
A group of former rebels imprisoned in Supermaxx. They all have explosive devices implanted in them, forcing them to cooperate with Eden as they take on covert operations.
- Boxed Crook: Basically a bunch of enemies of the state coerced into working for the Warden.
- Dwindling Party: Over the course of the first season they slowly bite it one by one. Only Bullfrog is still alive at the end, and Laserhawk appears to be in some sort of digital limbo.
- Expy: Much like the Suicide Squad, they are a bunch of criminals coerced into undertaking dangerous missions or risk having their heads explode from the bombs planted in them.
- Your Head A-Splode: If any of them step out of line, the warden can detonate the bombs in their heads with her bracelet.
Captain Laserhawk
Captain Dolph Laserhawk
Voiced by: Nathaniel Curtis (English), Guillaume Orsat (French)
Original appearance: None
A stoic cyborg soldier who defected from Eden’s military before being betrayed by his own lover and forced to lead the Warden's team.
- Computer Voice: Dolph’s cybernetics are controlled by an onboard computer which speaks to him in a synthesized female voice.
- Cyborg: His left arm and the right side of his face have been replaced with cybernetic components.
- Dark and Troubled Past: According to sources, he is the only child of an immigrant thief and a sex worker and became addicted to crack at nine years old. He was saved from certain death by Eden’s Military Rehabilitation Program who gave him his cybernetic enhancements, but worked in the shadows for Marcus Holloway before betraying him. How much of this information is actually true remains unclear, though later events certainly make that last part questionable, as Marcus simply puts Dolph in a paradise simulation and just lets him go free later, which implies that they've either never met previously or don't have any real personal issues with each other, unlike Sarah, who Marcus basically subjects to VR torture.
- Defector from Decadence: Was originally a respected member of the Eden military before going rogue.
- Handicapped Badass: Has cybernetics and a cannon for an arm but fights incredibly well.
- Heroic Sacrifice: He triggers the bomb in his head in an effort to take out Sarah. Unfortunately, she uploads herself in a backup body, rendering his sacrifice moot.
- Hero with Bad Publicity: Eden's propaganda machine does everything in its power to slander him. In the first episode alone, they put out a slanted biopic which portrays him as a depraved psychopath who indulges in every vice imaginable and cares for nothing but himself.
- Ink-Suit Actor: Aside from his cybernetics, he bears a strong resemblance to his voice actor, Nathaniel Curtis. This is especially noticeable in the VR simulation, where Nathaniel Curtis himself portrays a live-action Dolph.
- Manly Gay: He's a gay man and a strong, cool-headed, quiet fighter.
- Not Quite Dead: Blows himself up in an attempt to take out the Warden, but The Stinger reveals he's in some sort of afterlife limbo, showing there's more going on.
- Original Generation: Unlike the rest of the cast, he has no origins in video games. While he shares a lot of traits with Sergeant Rex "Power" Colt, the protagonist of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, he's ultimately his own character, created just for the series.
- Parrying Bullets: His cybernetic arm is bulletproof, and his reflexes are fast enough that he can bring it up in time to deflect singular bullets away from himself. Deflecting semiautomatic fire seems to be beyond his abilities, though.
- Recoil Boost: He can use the recoil from firing his Arm Cannon to launch himself great distances.
- Revenge: Laserhawk was betrayed by his own boyfriend, and now he's out for his blood. After he finally gets it, he realizes that Bullfrog was right in that Vengeance Feels Empty.
- The Stoic: The withdrawn, grouchy member of the team.
- Super-Strength: His cybernetic arm gives him incredible strength, so much so that in the final episode, he's able to stop the Niji 6's Humongous Mecha from crushing him underfoot and even knocks it over by shoving upward against its sole.
- Swiss-Army Appendage: His cybernetic arm can switch between a normal hand, a Grappling-Hook Pistol, and an Arm Cannon.
- Unwitting Pawn: The Warden secretly infects him with a trojan virus so that when he interfaces with the VR facility, the virus will spread to its systems and allow her to take over.
The Warden (SPOILERS)
Warden Sarah Fisher
Voiced by: Caroline Ford
Original appearance: Splinter Cell
The cold, ruthless warden of Eden’s SuperMax prison and the daughter of Sam Fisher, who's more than willing to betray anyone to get what she wants.
- Absurdly Sharp Blade: The bladed ends of her cybernetic Spider Limbs are sharp enough to slice through guns and security drones alike without resistance.
- Adaptational Villainy: She was The Heart and Sam's Morality Pet in her native series. Here, she’s a cold-hearted villain who betrayed her own father as a child.
- Big Bad: She's a member of the Board of Directors and has been manipulating events from the start in an effort to gain control of the VR facility and wipe out DedSec. By the end, she’s the sole surviving member of the board.
- Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: She betrayed her own father and Holloway in favor of Eden. However, she didn't like certain things about Eden, so she plotted against them by forming a group to take them down. She betrays that group as well when she puts a virus in Laserhawk's arm which infects Marcus Holloway's computer systems.
- Desecrating the Dead: At Laserhawk's request, she blew up Jade's head with an implanted bomb as a distraction so the rest of the Ghosts could escape from Pagan Min.
- Dissonant Serenity: She remains chillingly calm even when killing people in horrific ways that result in their blood spattering her face.
- Enfant Terrible: As a child, she coldly led Eden security to a DedSec hideout, betraying her father in the process.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: While it didn't stop her from betraying him, Sarah still clearly cares about her father as she desperately tries to save him during her mental probe by Marcus.
- Foreshadowing: For her cybernetics. While she was trapped in the virtual world, she lets slip that she wanted cybernetics because it can enhance her physical parameters. She actually went full borg, Adam Smasher style.
- Full-Conversion Cyborg: Her entire body has been replaced with cybernetics, as revealed when Laserhawk blows himself up in a failed attempt to kill her.
- My Greatest Failure: Despite having sold her father out to Eden, she utterly regrets their final conversation with him. Maybe.
- Pragmatic Villainy: When Jade is shot by Pagan Min, she detonates the bomb in her head to aid the other Ghosts' escape.
- Spider Limbs: Her cybernetic legs can split into large spider-legs for combat.
Bullfrog
Bullfrog
Voiced by: Yves "Balak" Bigerel (English), Nessym Guetat (French)
Original appearance: None, but inspired by Assassin's Creed
An anthropomorphic frog and a trained member of the Brotherhood of Assassins.
- Beware the Silly Ones: He may look and act goofy, but he is nonetheless a skilled assassin and can kill with ease.
- Big Ol' Eyebrows: Despite being a frog and thus not needing hair, he has enormous bushy eyebrows.
- Blade Below the Shoulder: Like (most of) the protagonists in the franchise he's inspired by, Bullfrog wields the Assassins' tool of trade, the Hidden Blade, a wrist-mounted dagger that extends with the flick of his wrist. Like Ezio Auditore of Assassin's Creed II, he wields two blades, as well.
- A Dog Named "Dog": He's a frog assassin named Bullfrog. It doesn't get much more direct than that.
- Fragile Speedster: As expected of an Assassin, he's a mix of this and a Glass Cannon: he can't take hits very well (even more so than usual given his nature as a frog Hybrid), but his nimbleness, hidden blades and proficiency at Combat Parkour can make him a terrifying opponent in the right situation.
- Frog Ninja: Sneaky infiltrator specializing in stealth-killing... who happens to be a frog.
- Gratuitous French: Not only does he have a thick French accent, he also peppers his dialogue with a lot of (correctly used) french words.
- The Heart: He takes on this role more and more as the show goes on, discouraging his friends from the path of vengeance and convincing Rayman to defect from Eden.
- Killer Rabbit: The shortest and most cutesy of the Ghosts he may be given he's a French frog-man, but he can and has fought people larger than his allies and won.
- Last of His Kind: He claims to be "the last of the Guild", meaning he's the only member of the Assassin Brotherhood left. Assuming we take his word for it, that is. Considering the Eden Corporation is actually the Templar Order in disguise, it's not unlikely that they've been using their newfound influence to systemically exterminate the Brotherhood to remove what they'd consider the biggest threat to their power.
- My Greatest Failure: As he is about to be executed in episode six, he admits that his greatest regret was that he didn’t do more for his friends.
- Nice Guy: Bullfrog is a very sweet person; always doing his best to be friendly, and he's usually the one looking after his teammates wellbeing. It makes his extreme proficiency and skill in fatal violence all the more jarring.
- Nonstandard Character Design: Due to being an anthropomorphic frog, he has much more cartoonish proportions than most of the other characters.
- Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Not quite powerful but pretty decent for someone of his size.
- Pre-Asskicking One-Liner: During a lull in the fight with Pagan Min's enforcers, Bullfrog tells them about his power to see visions of the past and future by blowing bubbles. He then asks them, "Would you like to know which one of you will die first?" Seconds later, all three of them are dead at his hands.
- Seers: Has the ability to blow bubbles that project visions of the past and future.
- Sole Survivor: Thanks to the original Rayman, he is spared from the Retribution Day execution in Episode 6 and is (currently) the only surviving Ghost.
- Stealth Pun: He's a frog-man who speaks with a heavy French accent, "frogs" being an old slur for Frenchmen due to frog's legs being a famous part of their cuisine.
Jade
Jade
Voiced by: Courtney Mae Briggs
Original appearance: Beyond Good & Evil
A photojournalist recruited into the Ghosts.
- Advertised Extra: While she is prominent on the main poster, she doesn’t live past episode 2.
- Death by Adaptation: Dies as early as episode 2 when she is shot by Pagan Min. And given that Laserhawk requested the bomb in her head be detonated for their escape, one would assume that she isn't coming back...But the Sequel Hook throws that into question, since Laserhawk detonated his own bomb as well.
- Dies Wide Open: She dies with her face locked in an expression of wide-eyed horror.
- Genre Savvy: When tasked with a role for a mission, she points out that she's not suited for the role of a Femme Fatale. She was right on the money.
- Heroic Seductress: Invoked and Played for Laughs. The Warden assigns her the role of femme fatale for the mission to infiltrate Pagan Min's pagoda despite Jade protesting that she's no good at that role. During the infiltration, she tries to seduce one of the guards to get her hands on his access card, but her efforts are so awkward that she ends up weirding the guy out and driving him away. So she jabs a syringe full of sedative into his butt instead and swipes the card while taking him somewhere to lie down.
- Innocent Bigot: She tries to seduce one of Pagan Min's tiger guards by playfully growling at him. The guard takes offense to this, calling it "a lion thing" and accusing Jade of being speciesist.
- Intrepid Reporter: She'd been trying to expose Pagan Min's criminal activities for several years before the events of the series.
- Rejection Affection: Pey'j has a thing for her, but she flatly turns him down when he confesses his feelings due to seeing him as more of a surrogate uncle and being understandably grossed out by it as a result.
- Sacrificial Lamb: She is one of the friendliest, most decent members of the team, and is the first to die in the field.
Pey'j
Pey'j
Voiced by: Glenn Wrage
Original Appearance: Beyond Good & Evil
Jade's adoptive father, a pig hybrid also recruited into the Ghosts.
- Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: In Beyond Good & Evil, Pey'j was an honorary uncle to Jade and clearly didn't see himself as anything more than that. In this show, he admits that he's actually in love with her.
- BFG: Wields a massive gatling gun during a mission.
- Cyborg: His eyes are seemingly electronic.
- Genius Bruiser: One of the heavy hitters of the group and the largest to boot. Also knows how to track down the signals of a mind-controlling device.
- Heroic Sacrifice: He throws himself in the line of fire to protect a young hybrid girl from being gunned down by Eden's forces during the riots.
- Love Confession: He gives one to Jade before their mission at Pagan Min's. Seeing as how Jade views him as a Parental Substitute, she's understandably weirded out by this.
- Papa Wolf: Something this Pey'j has in common with his canon version:Pey'j (To Jade): I made a promise that I would protect you no matter what!
- Pay Evil unto Evil: His murder of Pagan Min is unnecessary and cruel. Given that Min is a ruthless crime lord who had callously murdered Jade shortly beforehand, it's hard to feel sorry for him.
- Pig Man: Pey'j is an anthropomorphic pig like his video game counterpart, only much bigger.
- Roaring Rampage of Revenge: The Warden tells the group not to kill Pagan Min no matter what, but once Min kills Jade, all bets are off and Pey'j chases him down and brutally murders him.
- Taking the Bullet: In episode 3, he throws himself in front of a child to protect her from a hail of bullets.
Cody Rhodes
That's a fuckin' frog.
Cody Rhodes
Voiced by: Himself
Original Appearance: All Elite Wrestling
A professional wrestler for the Eden Wrestling Federation kidnapped and forced into the Ghosts. Is the first one to die when the Warden detonates the bomb in his head when he attacks her.
- As Himself: An alternate universe version of Cody Rhodes voiced by the real Cody Rhodes.
- Celebrity Casualty: A real-life wrestler and the first on the team to die.
- We Hardly Knew Ye: He gets blown up in the group's introduction to the Warden and (aside from a brief mention from Bullfrog in episode 6) doesn't really get much focus ever again.
- Your Head A-Splode: The Warden detonates the bomb in his head when he makes the mistake of bum rushing her.
Anti-Eden Rebels
Alex Taylor
Alex Taylor
Voiced by: Boris Hiestand
Original Appearance: The Crew
An anti-Eden rebel and Captain Laserhawk's boyfriend...until he betrays Laserhawk during a heist, leading to the latter joining the Ghosts.
- Adaptational Sexuality: Is openly gay in the series and begins the show in a relationship with Dolph.
- Closet Key: He is implied to have been this for Dolph, given that Pagan Min taunts Dolph by claiming Alex told him all about "the closeted little queer" that Dolph used to be.
- Disc-One Final Boss: Alex is set up as the main villain of the show between his betrayal of Dolph and the extreme lengths he's willing to go to in the name of bringing down Eden, but he dies at the end of the third episode, halfway through the season. The Warden then takes over as the Big Bad.
- It Is Beyond Saving: He believes that the only way to save Eden from itself is to burn it to the ground and start over.
- Love-Interest Traitor: Sold out Dolph and left him for dead as part of an unknown deal.
- Manly Gay: He's a gay man with a handsome beard and a very well-built body, to the point that other men are jealous of him for it.
- No Kill like Overkill: Dolph blows a hole through him by shooting him in the gut at point-blank range. The force of the blast flings him backward to crash into his own antenna right as Bullfrog is sabotaging it below, causing him to be electrocuted for good measure.
- Torso with a View: Dolph blows a hole through him with a point-blank Arm Cannon shot in Episode 3.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Alex Taylor has a dream of bringing down Eden, and he will betray his own boyfriend and brainwash an arena full of humans into attacking hybrids to do it.
- You Don't Look Like You: The Alex Taylor of Captain Laserhawk has pretty much nothing in common with the Alex Taylor of The Crew other than being a getaway driver. The original Alex was a short, lanky American with Nerd Glasses, short brown hair, and a full beard; this Alex is a blond-haired, musclebound hunk with muttonchops and a British accent. The original Alex was a Boxed Crook looking to avenge the murder of his brother; this Alex is an ideologically-motivated terrorist targeted by a Boxed Crook out for revenge.
Marcus Holloway
Marcus Holloway
Voiced by: Mark Ebulue
Original Appearance: Watch_Dogs 2
The leader of DedSec, an anti-Eden rebel group.
- Age Lift: Is much older than the young man he was portrayed as in his original game.
- Bald of Authority: He is bald with a full beard and leads a rebel group.
- Disabled in the Adaptation: He's blind in one eye here, whereas his game counterpart has the use of both eyes.
- Forgiveness: Marcus has hated Sarah Fisher ever since she brought the authorities to DedSec's doorstep, and when she arrives at the VR facility, his initial plan was to torture her for what she did and then put a bullet between her eyes. Dolph vouches for her, however, and this good word convinces Marcus to bury the hatchet with Sarah. Unfortunately, his forgiveness immediately proves to be misplaced.
- Hero with Bad Publicity: He leads the largest resistance movement against Eden's authoritarian regime, for which he is branded public enemy number one.
- Time-Passage Beard: Marcus was originally cleanshaven, but he grew a large, unkempt beard while he was imprisoned in the VR facility. He never bothered to shave it off and still has it years later.
- True Companions: Marcus views the members of DedSec as the closest thing he has to family, so much so that after Sam Fisher rescued him from the VR facility, Marcus insisted on going back to rescue them all.
Eden
Rayman (UNMARKED SPOILERS)
Rayman/Ramon
Clickhere to see "Ramon"
Voiced by: David Menkin (English), Guillaume Darnault (French)
Original Appearance: Rayman
A limbless refugee from Dimension X who serves as Eden’s main television presenter, mouthpiece, and mascot. After he is fired for losing his temper with a speciesist interviewee on camera, he is replaced by an exact doppelgänger and has a breakdown until he realizes how damaging his actions have been to people and sets out to exact justice.
- '90s Anti-Hero: His Ramon persona takes quite a few cues from the dark superheroes of the '90s, with him wearing a Badass Longcoat, sporting a mullet, wielding guns, desiring to settle a personal vendetta, and being willing to murder his enemies.
- Adaptational Jerkass: He serves as the mouthpiece for a despotic megacorporate regime and is shown to indulge in drinking, drugs, and prostitutes in his off hours. Despite this, he does come to see the error of his ways and turn on Eden (albeit in a violent and bloody way).
- Affably Evil: He maintains a lighthearted and chipper personality on-air, and genuinely believed he was helping people as Eden's propagandist. Bullfrog's bubble shatters his illusions completely, but he becomes much less affable after his Heel–Face Turn.
- The Ageless: Curiously, he's been around for decades and apparently hasn't aged much if at all from he was when he first arrived on Earth, if at all.
- Ain't Too Proud to Beg: While he is initially confident that the Board of Directors won't dare replace him after arguing with them over his outburst, the moment he realizes that he's been replaced by a duplicate, he becomes a nervous wreck. When it looks like the Board are contacting him, he goes down on his knees and gives a groveling apology. Later as he's undergoing his Heel–Face Turn when becoming "Ramon", his reflection (depicting his previous showman persona) suggests begging for mercy from the board of directors, which Ramon responds to by shooting the mirror, indicating he's completely done with doing this.
- Anti-Hero: The entire season is effectively Rayman's Character Development and Heel Realization that he's working for the wrong side the entire time, going from a Punch-Clock Villain that doesn't even realize he is a bad guy to one of the only characters that actually manages any major, lasting damage on Eden without dying in the process. But rather than genuine altruism, it's mostly the byproduct of Sanity Slippage, self-loathing and barely recovering from a self-destructive breakdown, utterly unadulterated postal murder rage for being used and his people mistreated, and ultimately borders on the edge of Byronic Hero.
- Anti-Villain: It isn't really accurate to call him a "villain" at all. Rayman’s still a good guy at heart, but his desire for acceptance from humanity and to help others like him has blinded him to the reality of how despicable his bosses really are. Bullfrog helps him snap out of this line of thinking in Episode 5.Rayman: I can't look away anymore. They're gonna slaughter another innocent hybrid live on my show with my face! [cocks gun] I won't allow that.
- Ax-Crazy: His Sanity Slippage reaches a breaking point in Episode 6, and he becomes the violent vigilante known as Ramon; he proceeds to have a casual argument with his reflection, shoots said reflection, headshots a member of the board of directors as soon as he enters the room, and kills every last one of them save Sigma, who is elsewhere at that moment even after they complied with his demands.
- Badass Longcoat: He starts wearing one on top of a red hoodie in Episode 5 as civilian attire (and to hide his missing limbs), and continues to wear it after he starts calling himself Ramon.
- Beware the Silly Ones: Though he's still something of a goofy character, even with all of his vices, following his Heel Realization he becomes the most direct threat to Eden's Board of Directors, personally killing all but one of them. Note that the Board of Directors are the heads of the Templar Order. Being able to hold them all hostage at once and then slaughter them is no mean feat.
- Big Damn Heroes: After bonding with Bullfrog and being shown the true depths of Eden's atrocities, Rayman undergoes a full Heel–Face Turn and rescues him from being executed on live television.
- Body Sushi: During his downward spiral after being fired from his show for an on-screen Precision F-Strike, a drunken, coke-addled Rayman is seen despondently eating sushi off the back of a hybrid cow prostitute. Notably, this scene is where he finds out about his on-screen duplicate having replaced him.Rayman: Wait, this is live? Who the fuck is this?!
- Call-Back: Rayman's television presenter suit/tie and shoes are colored to resemble the shirt/drawstring hood and sneakers of his outfit from the games, and in a pixel art-style flashback where he talks about his past experiences with Fantastic Racism, appears in the design from his very first game.
- Drowning My Sorrows: After being fired for his (justified) outburst towards Red, Rayman is shown in his home in a drunken, bitter state... while also snorting cocaine, which does not help matters whatsoever.
- Everyone Has Standards: The major kicker that ruins his job at ETV happens to be Red openly calling the interdimensional aliens "scum" in the middle of an interview, with Rayman on the other line. When Rayman asks him to clarify that because of how offensive it was, Red doubles down, causing Rayman's Precision F-Strike that gets him fired. Throughout the rest of the story, he's primarily focused on how Eden needs him and they can't just replace him, but once he tries to help Bullfrog over his imminent execution as a fellow hybrid, Bullfrog then shows him the consequences of Eden's rule over the hybrids Rayman thought he was helping, and he hits his Heel Realization firmly.
- Expository Hairstyle Change: When he becomes Ramon in Episode 6, he slicks his tufts of hair into a shaggy mullet.
- Floating Limbs: He wouldn’t be Rayman without detached hands and feet. In Episodes 5 and 6, he disguises these with a long trenchcoat and track pants, and cleverly knocks out an Eden guard by using one of his hands as a distraction.
- Friend to All Children: Supporting human and hybrid children alike was a big motivator for why he became the voice of Eden in the first place. When he sees human kids being groomed into child soldiers and innocent hybrids (both adults and children) suffering at Eden's hands in Episode 5, he becomes very distressed, crying his eyes out and vomiting on the floor, absolutely horrified at the lies he helped spread their way. Appropriately, it's part of what motivates him to turn against Eden following this.
- From Nobody to Nightmare: As far as the story is concerned, either this Rayman didn't have massive adventures that saved entire worlds like in his home series, or they simply don't matter, as he was just some random alien that ended up on Earth like any other hybrid. Eden propped him up as the Mouth of Sauron, making it seem like he was doing good and helping hybrids adapt to society, oblivious to the fact that Eden was actually oppressing them as slave labor. Once he gets fired by Eden, they even prop up an identical Rayman just to keep up appearances while brushing him off as a washed-up nobody. Turns out that was their biggest mistake of the show.
- Going Postal: While a figurehead rather than a menial worker, Rayman still goes through the arc of getting oppressed while trying to do his best, realizing he's disposable and replaceable, and how much they've taken advantage of him as a true believer in what Eden promises to the common man, spiralling down before finally snapping and shooting up his former bosses after forcing them to stop Bullfrog's execution at gunpoint.
- Guns Akimbo: When he raids Eden's tower under his "Ramon" persona, Rayman unveils a pair of submachine guns upon getting to the board's office, and uses them to execute all the members present.
- Heel Realization: Has one when Bullfrog uses his powers to show him just how much harm his work with Eden has caused. He's especially horrified when children and hybrids — the two groups that he most wanted to help — are shown suffering the worst of the atrocities, and sees himself as a monster.
- Hookers and Blow: Even before losing his job, he's seen trying to cope with his stress by getting drunk, stuffing his nose with cocaine and hiring a hybrid prostitute to eat sushi off of.
- I Just Want to Be Loved: After winding up on Earth, Rayman struggled to find acceptance from humanity, even going to college to try and close the gap. It wasn’t until Eden made him their mascot that he found acceptance and love... however, it blinded him to the truth of how corrupt they were and how much damage he was doing.
- I'm Standing Right Here: When Niji Red starts showboating, he mentions that the Niji 6 will defeat any and all "filthy interdimensional scum" that come their way, which prompts Rayman to mention that he came from Dimension X himself and ask if that makes him scum to Red. Red doubles down on his stance.
- Innocently Insensitive: His entire role gives Eden a means of coming off as politically correct while still reducing the rights of hybrids, but he fails to realize how damaging he is to his own kind until Bullfrog spells it out for him.
- Mouth of Sauron: He unwittingly serves this role for Eden until he comes to his senses.
- My God, What Have I Done?: Goes through one of these when Bullfrog shows him how much damage he's done working with Eden, especially to children and hybrids.Rayman: (audibly sobbing) What have I done!? I'm a monster!
- Nonstandard Character Design: True to his original design, he looks a lot more cartoony than the other characters who are more realistically proportioned.
- Not So Above It All: His "Ramon" persona is serious, edgy and a mess sanity-wise, but he still retains some of Rayman's more whimsical and cartoonish traits, shown by how he deals with the guard and how he interacts with his own hand.
- Precision F-Strike: Hurls one at the Niji 6 on live television after Niji Red starts spouting broad anti-alien remarks while being interviewed. The other reporter on the scene immediately motions to cut the line but is way too late to stop it being broadcasted. This leads to him getting fired.Rayman: Then why don't you say it to my face without cameras, YOU FUCKING RED PRICK?!
- Punch-Clock Villain: At the start of the season, Rayman genuinely thinks he's doing the right thing and doesn't seem to realize he's a villain at all. His conversation with Bullfrog in Episode 5 helps shake him out of this.
- Rage Against the Reflection: While prepping to fight Eden, his reflection takes on the appearance of his TV persona and tries to talk him out of it. When his reflection suggests begging for Bullfrog's life since begging's what they're best at, he shoots his reflection, with the shards of glass now showing his true look.
- Role-Ending Misdemeanor: In-universe. He's the beloved and family-friendly voice of Eden, but when he swears at Red during a live broadcast, the Board of Directors quietly has him fired and replaced by a doppelganger.
- Sanity Slippage: One that's curiously accompanied with his Heel–Face Turn. After being fired and replaced and being made aware of how much damage he's done as a propogandist, Rayman starts arguing with his reflection, talks to his hands and totes twin machine guns to rampage through the halls of Eden. It culminates in him getting Bullfrog's execution cancelled and killing all but one of the Board members.
- Spanner in the Works: If the Board of Directors didn't fire him, they probably would have still been alive.
- Suppressed Rage: Rayman, even before his eventual realization, seems to be subconsciously aware of the disdain people treat him with on either side of the equation — especially since he's had to deal with Fantastic Racism even before Eden came to power — and as a result, gets irritable and more defensive when forced to deal with the bigotry rampant in Eden directly.
- Technical Pacifist: Rayman — even as the more violent and proactive Ramon — still tries to avoid killing people if he can help it, even if it's just to avoid raising alarms too soon. That being said, he's more than happy to gun down every member of the Board that had the misfortune of showing up to work.
- That Man Is Dead: Rayman sheds his former identity in Episode 6 when he turns against Eden and becomes Ramon. Combined with Rage Against the Reflection when he destroys his reflection, symbolically destroying his TV persona.Rayman: Those days are over. Now it's time for Eden to meet... Ramon.
- Tranquil Fury: The entire end of the season is Rayman stuck in a perpetual Death Glare, attempting to have a growling and angered edge to his voice, and ready to knock out or murder anyone in his path that associates with Eden. It only finally relents after he's killed nearly all of the Board of Directors, lying on their table after the slaughter with a tired look on his face.
- Unwitting Pawn: To Eden, initially. Rayman starts out as a television presenter and propaganda mouthpiece for them, which he does with the intent of promoting representation and fairer rights for hybrids and being a good role model to children. However, he remains blind to Eden's atrocities and the fact he's unintentionally doing the aforementioned groups much harm with what he's saying until he's fired (and immediately replaced by an Identical Stranger) for an on-air outburst and then fully shown the truth about everything by Bullfrog.
- Walking Spoiler: Hoo boy, is he ever.
- What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Part of Rayman's backstory in this universe is his being a victim of speciesism as a refugee from a dying world, something he hasn't exactly escaped by 1992. His outburst at Red shows this is still a very sore spot for him.
The Replacement (MASSIVE UNMARKED SPOILERS)
Rayman(?)
Voiced by: David Menkin
Original Appearance: Rayman...?
After getting fired for an on air outburst, Rayman is horrified to find he's been replaced with an exact doppelganger. One who's much less interested in getting hybrids accepted by society and more willing to go with Eden's horrible plans.- Ambiguous Situation: Who, or what, he is is never made clear in the context of the show apart from his relationship with the original Rayman.
- Faux Affably Evil: He has the same chipper tone as Rayman's on-air persona but uses it to announce a live execution of Bullfrog. He doesn't go through with it, but only due to the real Rayman forcing the Board to call it off.
- Replaced with Replica: It's unknown who (or what) this new Rayman really is, but he looks and speaks identically to the real one and was bought out to replace him after his on-air outburst.
- Walking Spoiler: Even more so than the original!
Niji 6
Niji 6
Voiced by: Adi Shankar (Red)
Original Appearance: Very loosely based on a pun of Rainbow Six Siege
FORM THE RAINBOW!
A colorful Superhero-styled team that serves Eden's government. Their leader, Red, is bigoted towards hybrids.
- An Arm and a Leg: Red gets his left arm shot off by Laserhawk in their first encounter, later getting it replaced with a cybernetic one.
- Beware the Silly Ones: Silly antics and general incompetence aside, Red does manage to overpower and almost kill Captain Laserhawk in the first episode. He only fails because Alex distracted him by shooting him, giving Dolph the chance to regain the upper hand.
- Corrupted Character Copy: Of Sentai-style superhero teams. They have all the surface-level aesthetics down pat, but they're ultimately fighting to uphold the oppressive status quo as opposed to trying to bring it down like you'd expect from a sentai team, with Red in particular being an unashamed bigot who'd rather indulge in his own violent whims than follow any sort of objective despite ostensibly being the group's leader.
- The Faceless: They are never seen without their helmets.
- Gender-Equal Ensemble: Their team consists of three men and three women.
- Hate Sink: Red thrives off being as big of an asshole as he possibly can. He pridefully displays his bigotry on live camera and even doubles down when Rayman calls him out on it, and he even makes it clear how much pleasure he would have in killing Rayman when the opportunity presents itself. He also attempts to kill Laserhawk despite being told not to bother simply because he wanted to kill him.
- Humongous Mecha: Like any good Power Rangers pastiche, they have a giant robot which they pilot as a group.
- Kick the Dog: Red and Rayman work on the same side, but Red's such an unrelenting prick about the aliens he fights that he outright calls them all scum and doubles down just to spite Rayman when called out on it. He also revels in the opportunity to beat the crap out of Rayman in a later confrontation just because the opportunity presented itself.
- Living Prop: Half of them never speak or are seen really doing anything.
- Malicious Misnaming: Red constantly and deliberately messes up Laserhawk's name, calling him things like Laserpigeon, Lamerhawk, and Laserjoke.
- Politically Incorrect Hero: The Niji 6 are painted as a team of Power Rangers-style superheroes representing Eden but, while not much is known about the rest of the team, Red is portrayed as a colossal jerk who looks down on aliens like Rayman. He also complains how annoyed he is at "identity politics" because Laserhawk was considered a first pick as a super soldier before he escaped Eden's grasp.
- Psychopathic Manchild: Red tends to be incredibly juvenile whenever he's onscreen, often calling people childish names, is extremely excitable, petty, impulsive, and stubborn, and is prone to using violence to solve problems when there's no need for it.
- Red Is Heroic: Downplayed. Red may be protecting the city and its inhabitants from dangers, but he's still an obnoxious, arrogant and racist asshole.
- Red Is Violent: Red will happily beat the crap out of anyone who opposes him, as seen with Rayman and Dolph.
- Sentai: Naturally, given that they're color-coded heroes who work as a team, complete with their own "Super Sentai" Stance.
- Small Role, Big Impact: Red doesn't factor into the plot too much, but his Fantastic Racism, and Rayman's outburst following it, kicks off a chain of events that ends with the Board of Directors dead at Rayman's hands.
- Stealth Pun: In a show chock-full of references to Ubisoft titles, it may seem a bit out of place that they don't appear to be directly based on anything Ubisoft-owned but are prominent characters. It might take a while for the viewer to realise that each of the six members are all associated with a different color; a Rainbow of Six if you will.
- Sub-Par Supremacist: Zig-zagged. While true Red is vocally prejudiced against aliens but makes no attempt to hide his resentment of Dolph being chosen for a Super-Soldier program instead of him, he's easily outwitted by Rayman, and his own team doesn't really respect him. He also did defeat Captain Laserhawk in the first episode, he and the other Neji were able to easily defeat the invading alien bunnies, and while doesn't seem to respect, they still obey his commands without argument.
The Board of Directors (SPOILERS)
The Board of Directors/The Templar Order
Original appearance: Assassin's Creed
The men and women in charge of Eden, effectively the rulers of the world.
- Affably Evil: Before replacing him with a doppelganger, they at least have the courtesy to call a drunk, angry Rayman to talk him down and let him go easy. When he holds them all at gunpoint in Episode 6, they also try to talk him out of his rampage after he goes postal.
- Ancient Conspiracy: They are the current incarnation of the Templar Order, the Big Bads of the Assassin’s Creed series, and an ancient organization bent on controlling humanity.
- Create Your Own Hero: While his morality is questionable, it's entirely on the Board of Directors for making Rayman into the one to take them down. By not just firing him for an outburst over anti-alien slurs, but replacing him with a replica, Rayman was free to question Bullfrog as the guards didn't know he was fired and from that, he finds the truth and with nothing to lose, goes postal on them.
- Did Not See That Coming: They're so assured of their ultimate victory that they neglect to post proper security around their meeting (the most resistance Rayman encounters is a single guard, when the Templars would normally be much more vigilant about security, considering who their historical arch-enemies are), allowing Rayman to slaughter them easily, and are completely blindsided by Laserhawk annihilating their army, which had left them with nothing to work with even if they had survived. It's rather appropriate for the Templar Order to be done in by their own arrogance while their best-laid plans are collapsing around them in spectacular fashion.
- Death by Irony: They're all slaughtered by one of their puppets turned against them by Bullfrog, an Assassin. In Assassin's Creed, they used Daniel Cross, an Assassin, as a Manchurian Agent to kill the Mentor of the Assassin Brotherhood and several other Assassins.
- Killed Off for Real: All of them bar one are killed by Rayman in Episode 6.
- Killed Offscreen: For the most part, their massacre at Ramon's hands is not shown to the viewer, and we only get to see the gory aftermath.
- Malevolent Masked Man: They all wear masks in the boardroom and are bent on controlling the world.
- Sole Survivor: As of Episode 6, "Director Sigma"/Sarah Fischer is the only one of the Board alive as she wasn't present during Rayman/Ramon's attack.
- This Is Gonna Suck: Two members of the board silently shrink back in their seats once Rayman starts laughing, as if they just realized that he has no intention of letting any of them live.
Others
Sam Fisher
Sam Fisher
Voiced by: Nigel Barber
Original Appearance: Splinter Cell
Warden Sarah Fisher's father, a former United States officer.
- Badass Normal: No cybernetic enhancements (he dislikes them in general), no enhanced hybrid physical abilities, all he needs is some gadgets and his skills to whoop ass.
- Big Good: Shared with Marcus, having been the one to bust him out and train the current members of Ded-Sec.
- Disabled in the Adaptation: Sam is a double amputee in this series, having lost both legs in the line of duty sometime prior to the rise of Eden.
- Fatal Family Photo: He spent his last living moments looking at a photo of himself and Sarah in happier times.
- Handicapped Badass: He had long since retired from military service, having lost both of his legs and is left wheelchair-bound. Despite that, he still has all of his skills, and is equipped with gadgets to make up for his limitations to infiltrate a maximum-security prison and rescue old comrades to help start a revolution against Eden.
- Multiple Gunshot Death: He was riddled with bullets by one of Eden's hunter-killer drones.
- Must Make Amends: He blamed himself for Marcus and the other members of DedSec being sent to prison, so he took it upon himself to bust Marcus out. As he himself put it,Sam Fisher: A good man is rotting in hell because of me. It's my responsibility to make things right.
- Not Quite Dead: Despite visibly getting shot to pieces after a battle between Ded Sec and Eden by a drone checking for stragglers, The Stinger shows that Sam is still kicking it and is telling Laserhawk that their fight isn't quite over yet.
- Posthumous Character: He was killed years before the events of the series. However, the final episode's mid-credits scene implies that he lives on through a backup of his mind.
- Super Wheelchair: His wheelchair can transform into a remote-controlled VTOL aircraft.
- Weaponized Exhaust: His stealth suit covers the ends of his legs with kinetic thrusters for making quick maneuvers that he wouldn't be able to do on his own. He can use the exhaust given off by these thrusters to sweep his enemies' legs out from under them, or to launch a man into the ceiling with back-breaking force.
Pagan Min
Pagan Min
Voiced by: Daniel York Loh
Original Appearance: Far Cry 4
A notorious crime lord on the streets of Eden.
- Adaptational Villainy: While not much has changed compared to his canon counterpart, this version of Pagan Min is a sociopathic hedonistic manchild. Justified, since this version is implied to not be with Ishwari Ghale in this universe.
- Agent Peacock: Is as flamboyant and deadly as he was in his original appearance.
- An Arm and a Leg: Captain Laserhawk blows his right leg off below the knee as he's trying to flee.
- Blofeld Ploy: When Laserhawk goads him to shoot him, Pagan seems prepared to do so until he aims his gun at Jade and shoots her dead. As he explains, killing someone who is willing to die is no fun.
- Cruel and Unusual Death: Pey'j kills him by grabbing his head and repeatedly slamming his face against a wall until he stops moving. The first slam makes one of his eyes pop out of its socket, too.
- Dirty Coward: Talks a big game, but only when people are chained up or held at gunpoint. When the Ghosts break free he freaks out and runs.
- Disproportionate Retribution: Has a business associate violently killed for telling him “go fuck yourself.”
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He seems to sincerely love Alex. When Pagan has his foot shot off, he begs Alex to help him. When Alex instead leaves him for dead, Pagan is utterly shocked and heartbroken.
- Smug Snake: Thinks of himself as some sort of grand mastermind, but he's ultimately a small player. He dies in Episode 2 after Alex abandons him.
- Villains Want Mercy: When he is at the mercy of the Ghosts (and a very angry Pey'j), he is utterly terrified and pitifully begs for mercy. He is given none.
