Characters Within The Story

Marcus

Marcus is the first voice you will hear when you start a new game of Borderlands 2 due to him narrarating the opening cutscene. Later on when you meet him he is an arms dealer. While very greedy with a no refund policy, he does have a heart. He was previously married and during one of the DLCS, he tells a story about our vault hunters journey through said DLC to an orphan to help him feel better.

Claptrap

Claptrap is the first character you meet when you finally get in the game. He is a robot made by the brand Hyperion, and is one of if not the last of his product line. Throughout the game and the franchise, he is more of a humor character you either hate or love for being annoying but annoyingly funny.

Angel

Angel is a character who will introduce her self as a projection. She is an "Artificial Intelligence" who is linked to all Hyperion tech and other tech throughout the world. She will help guide you and plays a pivitol role in the story with a plot twist.

Handsome Jack

Handsome Jack is the CEO of Hyperion and the "Villian" of our story. He wants to use the power of the vault on Pandora to abolish bandits and other scum off the planet to bring order. His face is covered by a mask replica due to scared tissue underneath. He is interesting due to seeing himself as the "Hero" of this story. As you play through the game he will be there to drop smart remarks and jokes.

Hammerlock

Sir Hammerlock is a hunter, gentlemen and last survivor of his town. He is just a genuine hunter and scholar, always looking for adventure and discovery.

Scooter

Scooter is a mechanic. He is the owner of the Catch-A-Ride system, allowing the player to spawn in vehicles at certain locations. He is the brother of a character I will introduce later.

Lilith

Lilith is a siren like Maya, but she posseses the power of Phasewalking. She used to be a vault hunter but now she works with her ex, who we will discuss soon, to holdoff bandits while he works.

Ellie

Ellie is also a mechanic, and the sister of Scooter.

Roland

Roland is also a previous vault hunter, but is now the commander of The Crimson Raiders, the last group to stand against Handsome Jack. He is Liliths ex.

Mordecai

Mordecai is also a previous vault hunter, working as an informant for Roland. He is joined by his bestfriend/bird Bloodwing. He is a great shot, even better when drunk, who mostly uses snipers.

Tiny Tina

Tiny Tina is a insane pyromaniac. Her story gets developed more in one of the DLCS but during the base game she takes the role of Rolands explosives expert, seeing him as a father figure since she is still young and lost her family tragically.

Brick

Brick is the leader of the bandit group known as "The Slabs". Aslo a previous vault hunter, him and Roland seperated after his methods got too brutal for Roland.
