Charles

Charles Calvin

Personality

Charles is a young and experienced pilot for the Government. In the Triple Threat route, he is able to stop his chopper mid-flight so the rotor blades don't chop up Henry Stickmin and Ellie Rose as they leave the sabotaged rocket. This is an incredibly difficult maneuver to pull off and he does it easily. Charles, Henry and Ellie each share a mutual friendship in Triple Threat and are all friends in Pardoned Pals. This is because, "Any friend of Henry's is a friend of mine."

Because of his abilities as a pilot, General Hubert Galeforce seems to always trust him with missions despite his history of hilariously failing to assist Henry, most famously when he crashes his helicopter in two fails. Despite his silliness and accident-prone tendencies, Charles is easily one of the more noble characters in the series, and is even willing to sacrifice himself for his allies as shown in the Valiant Hero route.

His answer to any problem he and Henry encounter throughout the series is to crash his helicopter into it. While it normally ends badly, in Completing the Mission, this both works for and against him when the resulting crash critically damages the station's core, leading to a series of events that results in Charles being unable to escape the station with Henry.

Compared to both Henry and Ellie, whose morality are dependent on the players' choice, Charles is the only one in the main trio who's outright noble and heroic from the get-go. As such, Charles will only help out Henry in routes where he aligns with the Government.

Charles has a tendency to try and make small talk and stumble his words which shows that he's more sociable than Henry and much more nonchalant about missions despite the known severity of them. He also has plenty of background knowledge on Government weapons and other such tools.

If Henry sides with the Government, Charles shows complete confidence and trust in Henry in any missions they team up in, showing how loyal he is to a close friend. He is also shown to take things literally at times, demonstrated when he shut the power of the Airship off when asked, without realizing the airship needs power to fly.

Charles is amiable, sociable, half-witted yet intelligent, and an above average pilot who firmly sticks with his side, but does have a more open mind considering he put his faith in Henry in the Pardoned Pals route despite Henry going rogue and stealing the Romanian Ruby, and gave Henry a chance to side with him over joining the Toppats or surrendering to the Wall.

Charles is also able to remain calm in stressful or dangerous situations, keeping his composure and not sounding worried. A good example of this is in the Special BROvert Ops route, where he loses control of his helicopter while trying to snipe someone, and doesn't sound panicked in the slightest while trying to regain control; Henry actually looks more worried than Charles sounds. Charles is also very optimistic as seen in the Valiant Hero ending, where he assures Henry that he will find a way out of the Toppat Orbital Station, which is about to explode.

He is also shown to be easily distracted as shown when he comments on a duck flying into the airship’s propellers, inadvertently blowing Henry’s cover, without him realizing this, indicating that he is not always focused on the present situation.

Apperance

Charles wears a red headset throughout all his appearances. It is shown in Special BROvert Ops and Valiant Hero that Charles has red shoes. His headset suffered damage in Valiant Hero due to Charles crashing into the Toppat Orbital Station.

He has never been seen without his red headset. The headset has been shown to be a versatile communications device; able to call in reinforcements and communicate directly with phones.

Ellie Rose

Personality

Ellie loves action, going on missions, and fighting. She is shown to be serious and straightforward, coming up with detailed plans, and also demonstrating good logic. She is every bit as capable as Henry Stickmin if she's allowed to tag along in the Convict Allies route, and Completing the Mission shows that she's still plenty capable of pulling her weight in every route that features her. Circumstances that led to Ellie's imprisonment at the Wall are unknown, but her actions show that she is just as gung-ho as Henry is due to taking part in a heist immediately after escaping in one of the routes. She is shown to clearly have experience, being able to escape from The Wall by herself in the Toppat Civil Warfare route. General Hubert Galeforce mentions that she, like Henry, was also on the government's radar.

Should Henry choose to help her escape too, she becomes very loyal to him. However, this loyalty towards Henry can come across as undying, blind, and passive, as most of her actions are dependent on Henry's choices despite being more competent herself, never ever doubting him for the most part, even if the idea is impractical. Her loyalty toward Henry eventually pays off by the end of the Toppat King route, as Henry decides to promote her as his Right Hand Lady.

On several occasions, Ellie speaks up in Henry's defense when they are both in dangerous situations. Notable examples are when Ellie asks The Wall's guards to hold up the elevator for the duo to blend in and when she speaks her intention to join The Toppat Clan alongside Henry towards Reginald and Right Hand Man.

In contrast to the more bumbling Charles Calvin, Ellie demonstrates a much better awareness on what to do in most situations and can sometimes show up Henry. Despite this, she can still be just as silly as Charles and there are a few fails that are due to mistakes on her part.

Despite being a criminal like Henry, Ellie is noticeably nicer than him as she appear to be pretty friendly towards people she cares about and willing to trust Henry on her first encounter with him to boost him up to the vent ceiling, ultimately becoming truly loyal to Henry if he returns the favor. However, Ellie can be pretty scary when being violent as she's definitely not a person you want to be messing with. And Henry learns this the hard way in Toppat Civil Warfare route where Ellie is utterly mad at him for abandoning her at The Wall.

Despite being a criminal, Ellie seems to have no real morality beyond her loyalty to Henry if he helps her escape the Wall. Whether this means following Henry into a heroic or villainous path is determinant upon the player's choice in Airship. Ellie is more than happy to accept any of Henry's decisions throughout his journey, even if it's something that could get both herself and Henry killed.

If Henry abandons her at the Wall after using her to escape, Ellie will become dedicated to seeking revenge against him, becoming the main antagonist of the Toppat Civil Warfare route. During this route, Ellie is shown to be quite ruthless, as well as a skilled leader as she appears to command the respect of much of the Toppat Clan.

She is also somewhat persuasive and influential on others, encouraging and convincing Henry to help her steal money from the Toppats in the Capital Gains route, which Henry obeys and agrees to help (being a criminal himself). In addition, she influenced Reginald and the entire Toppat Clan to turn against Henry in the Toppat Civil Warfare route, and also has the respect and loyalty of the Toppats in that route.

In addition to her own influence on others, she is also completely loyal to Henry in most of her appearances, doing anything he does, trusting him and any of his friends and even changing sides just to stay with him.

Apperance

Ellie is a young woman who has short red hair, red eyebrows, cream-colored shoes, and wears red lipstick. The outlines of her hair were slightly redder in the original version of Fleeing the Complex, but nothing else was changed in the remastered version.

In the Completing the Mission routes where she is a member of the Toppat Clan, Ellie is shown with two hats. The first hat is pink with a single purple rose, while the second is pink with a ring of purple roses. She gets the first hat as an ordinary Toppat, and the second as the leader of the clan.

Ellie's hair is slightly different in Completing the Mission from its appearance in Fleeing the complex

Ellie appears as the deuteragonist of Fleeing the Complex, and the overall tritagonist of Completing the Mission.

In Fleeing the Complex, Ellie appears as:

The deuteragonist of Convict Allies. A supporting character of Ghost Inmate. A minor character of Presumed Dead, International Rescue Operative and The Betrayed. In Completing the Mission, Ellie appears as:

The deuteragonist of Triple Threat, Pardoned Pals, Toppat Recruits, Capital Gains and Toppat King. The main antagonist of Toppat Civil Warfare.

Henry Stickmin

Personality

Henry is a mostly silent protagonist, often letting his actions speak for him. On several occasions, he lets out a word or two (such as the grenade belt in Escaping the Prison, and the branch fail in Stealing the Diamond). In Completing the Mission, Henry is considerably more vocal than in previous instillments. He can be heard detailing a plan to Charles Calvin, asking a Toppat security guard to raise a barrier, and reacting to misplacing the Leafmöde in a fail, as well as speaking nearly a full sentence to Ellie Rose during the CorrupTick fail scenario (line was originally said by Ellie).

Henry is a majorly an introvert, lucky, yet equally unlucky person. He frequently makes silly and outright mindless decisions, which is usually what leads to his many incarcerations. He sees himself to be legendary and commonly acts in a grandiose manner, but this cocky behaviour is usually what causes whatever mission he is on to result in often humorous failures. He is remarkably greedy, constantly in pursuit of valuable items such as various large gemstones, miscellaneous precious items stolen by the Toppat Clan, or simply just cold-hard cash - which causes him to get in trouble more often than not. His combat techniques reflect his reckless nature.

Depending on the path chosen by the player, Henry can also be seen selflessly helping others out. Henry can choose to free Dave Panpa from the Toppats' captivity, a guard who is, ironically, guilty of his prison outbreak. He can assist his cellmate, Ellie, in their escape from the Wall. He can also agree to Charles' dangerous mission proposal in order to take down the Toppats for good, despite not having anything to directly gain from it. These scenarios make for solid evidence showing that as arrogant as Henry may be, he does genuinely care about other people and/or his friends and isn't entirely out for himself.

Henry's primary trait is his selfish greed. He is first seen attempting to rob a bank in the first game. His persistence was rewarded with a jail sentence, yet it becomes very obvious too that being jailed for the failed robbery did not make any difference and he immediately chases after a nearby bank truck in the Lawyered Up ending of Escaping the Prison once acquitted.

Even after being arrested and having to escape, it is clear he learned little, with his eyes turning into dollar signs upon seeing the Tunisian Diamond on the news and immediately preparing to steal it. In spite of this, he knew where to draw the line in his greed, since he willingly abandons the diamond in order to save himself. He is also completely willing to commit murder to further his agenda, as he willingly drops the diamond on a guard's head with no hesitation.

He is even offered a full pardon by the Government if he fulfilled their request, yet his lack of self-control over his greed proves to be too great. Upon seeing the Toppat Clan's gigantic Romanian Ruby they stole, he promptly abandons his mission and steals the ruby. Power-hungry and quite opportunistic, he has the option to betray the feds and take over the Toppat Clan when he catches Reginald Copperbottom, who surrenders the airship to him after Henry defeated the Right Hand Man.

Captured once again at The Wall complex, he sets out to escape once again. He has the option of escaping with a fellow convict named Ellie and for the seemingly first time, having a true friend that helps him all the way. That being said, in order to escape, he ends up freeing every prisoner and uses the riot to escape, not caring about what consequences those actions warrant. He also has the option to simply abandon Ellie and go on his own, perfectly illustrating his willingness to use or expend anyone should it benefit him.

Henry, despite everything, does care about other people if they are on his side. This is best seen when he breaks down after Charles sacrifices himself to save Henry.

Depending on the choice, Henry could backstab anyone he's working with. In Airship, Henry could abandon his mission from the government to strike on his own by either stealing the ruby or joining the Toppats instead. He also able to optionally leaves Ellie behind after she helped him in Complex.

As soon as he gets the package in Escaping the Prison, everything helps him, directly or indirectly. He gets out of prison, he steals the Tunisian Diamond, is pardoned by the government or becomes the leader of the Toppat Clan in Infiltrating the Airship, and escapes the Wall in Fleeing the Complex. In the Ghost ending of Complex, he abandons Ellie as soon as she outlives her usefulness. He receives no comeuppance for this in three of the four routes in Mission that follow from this ending (he isn't so lucky in Executive/Ghost).

The Betrayed ending in Fleeing the Complex is the first ending that has Henry getting his punishment, as he's killed by Reginald. And when that doesn't stick, he's killed for real in the Revenged ending from Completing the Mission by Reginald again after he gets his revenge on the Toppat Clan. Henry also gets a punishment in another one of the endings for Mission, though he does not die in this one.

After betraying Ellie yielded no results in Complex, she winds up following him to the Toppat Clan's airship, exposing him which results Reginald, using Henry's betrayal as an example, convinces much of the Toppat Clan to overthrow him. This puts Henry in a civil war between his much smaller team of loyalists and the rest of the clan led by new leader Ellie, stopping what would would have been an easy means of becoming the leader of a significantly large crime organization.

Apperance

Henry Stickmin's appearances is a stick figure with a circle white pure head, "simple black lines" for his torso, arms and legs, white hands, and eyebrows that float above his head. Henry wears brown shoes in all his appearances. Henry has black animated eyes. Henry is 6 feet tall. And Henry has "semitone voice", which higher than average male voice. Henry, however, has NO nose, NO chin, NO ears, and NO hair. If he becomes the new leader of the Toppats, he wears a black hat with a golden dollar chain. If he just joins them, he wears a dark blue hat with a golden "H".

In the Revenged ending of Completing the Mission, Henry is brought back with cybernetic enhancements by Dr. Vinschpinsilstien, similar to the ones that she gave the Right Hand Man in other endings. His cybernetic features include a metallic left arm and a spine.
