In the second part of the Watch Dogs game, the characters are noted for their unusualness, because in the universe of the technological future, it can not be otherwise. Here, each person has his own character worked out to the smallest detail and views on the world. The developers took care of this, so that the players were interested to follow the evolving history of the project.
World of Digital Achievements
According to the game legend, our time is in the yard, but technology has gone far ahead. In Watch Dogs, characters can hack literally any device using a mobile phone. Here we are talking about the main characters of two parts. They differ from each other completely and are almost not connected. The protagonist of the original game, Aiden Pearce, appears in only one mission called Shadows, where he intersects with his colleague Marcus Holloway. It was his role that the gamers in the second part took on.
People have already managed to get acquainted with all the personalities of the first part, and now everyone is interested in new stories from the sequel. Developers throughout the advertising campaign fueled the interest of the crowd, and people rushed to look for any information.
The plot of the second part
In order to better understand what the hackers are trying to achieve in the sequel, you should know the plot of Watch Dogs 2. The names of all the characters here have nicknames - aliases on the network so that they could not be calculated. The story begins with the fact that people stop believing in huge corporations that own all the digital developments of the new era.
Computer systems independently determine the level of threat and the likelihood of a person committing a crime. The same device completely controls the city of San Francisco and all spheres of human activity. Blume and its allies decided to take over the system, but hackers from the DedSec organization learned about this. The reaction was brutal, as the radical young people did not want to allow anyone else to control their life, except themselves. The struggle began, in which the most modern technologies were involved. Burglars even destroyed entire corporate buildings by exploding backups, and they tried to retaliate and take their enemies to justice. No matter how much this struggle goes, no one knows, but the main protagonist has appeared.
Marcus Holloway
In Watch Dogs, the characters can not be compared with the charisma of the protagonist of the sequel. This young man, whose name is Marcus Holloway, has an incredible mind and talent for hacking information systems. He grew up in Auckland, California. The family never had enough money to educate the boy, as they lived in poverty.
From an early age, the guy’s selfishness made him promise to knock out a place under the sun. It was for this that he moved to San Francisco, where he planned to start a peaceful life and find a decent job. The plans went the other way when the ctOS city management system assigned him a top-level criminal profile. Thus, an end to the career was put, and Marcus himself did not want to put up with it. He joins the DedSec organization and begins his struggle to destroy the unfair order in the metropolis.
Even before the release of the project, the guy was liked by all fans who saw 2 photos of characters in Watch Dogs. He is hiding behind a mask and glasses, dark-skinned, and at first glance looks defiant. His motives are understandable, and gamers gladly sat down to play, knowing what it was necessary to fight for in the person of Marcus Holloway.
Rench
On the first commercials, trailers and artworks, a masked character appeared in Watch Dogs 2. No one knew what kind of guy this was, but his secrecy, manner of speech and anarchist views captivated many fans. The appearance of this member of DedSec is not known to anyone, since he carefully hides it under a black mask with spikes. Another feature of this device is that small screens are located at eye level. With their help, the character in the form of emoticons demonstrates their own emotions to the interlocutors.
After Marcus joined the hacker community, it was Rench who became his main ally and closest friend. His character can be viewed from two sides. A negative feature of this person is his constant rudeness towards others. For him there are no authorities, and anarchy around the world is considered the goal of life. On the other hand, he is cheerful, likes to joke, never backs down in the face of danger. For the sake of friends, I’m ready to substitute the back, and thanks to this, other characters in Watch Dogs 2 lose him. The ranch in the FBI report appears to be a secretive man who does not really like to be in the company of girls.
Sitara
It is said that a rich life, upbringing of the upper class and social benefits often do not suit children with a rebellious character in wealthy families. This is exactly what happened to Sitar, who was the heiress of the great dynasty of Americans. Instead of securing university studies, she dropped out of school and began to rob people who deserve it, according to her principles.
It later turned out that her parents were not sinless either. They also circumvent laws and try to increase wealth in an unfair way. The girl saw her vocation in leading the DedSec organization. In terms of appearance and durability, all the characters of Watch Dogs 2 are inferior to her. Sitara decided to “borrow” money from her parents, and thanks to her, hackers have advanced technical support. They have warm feelings for the main character and understand the injustice that happened in his life. In addition, Sitara is considered the leading designer in the organization. Her voice uses DedSec to post statements online on its behalf.
Raymond Kinney
In Watch Dogs 2, the main characters do not have a past related to the original game, except for Raymond Kinney. This middle-aged man wears two other pseudonyms - Ray and T-Bon Grady. Sometimes his name is a mystery man, because even Rench, who initially clashed with him, is not capable of understanding what is on his mind. Its appearance differs only in hairstyle and piercing. He is not picky in clothes; he always chooses an ordinary T-shirt or a gray shirt, as well as worn jeans.
The hero has his own drug - hacking prohibited objects. If in the world somewhere an organization hides access to data, the task of T-Bon becomes to get them by any means. For this, many secret organizations prey on him, including the FBI and the CIA. In the second part, Marcus managed to make friends with Raymond and learned from him that he was involved in the development of the long-suffering city management system ctOS. In the end, they together found a way to destroy it and defeat enemies.
Dushan Nemech
The culprit of all the troubles of ordinary people and the main enemy of Marcus Holloway is Dusan Nemech. Around him were grouped into Watch Dogs characters who long for power. This guy was a genius of his age, who hardly spent time on the street. Since childhood, he had no friends, and he grew up on the Internet. There he studied technology, followed the news and dreamed of creating something of his own. His Slavic origin did not prevent him from traveling to San Francisco and developing a completely new technology there.
He gradually climbed the corporate ladder until he became Blume's technology director. The high post gave more opportunities, and after a few months Nemech got access to adjust the ctOS 2.0 system. This fact confirms that with this power, he can control the lives of people and lead the city as he wishes. His annual income is more than 110 million dollars, but even this is not enough for him. When the plan of control over San Francisco was born in his head, it is not known exactly, but throughout the plot he is ardently trying to achieve his goal.
Other allies of the protagonist
It is worth noting that not all characters of the Watch Dogs 2 game are the main ones. Among the secondary there are interesting personalities who were on opposite sides of the barricades. Members of DedSec and other hacker organizations primarily entered into an alliance with Marcus. For example, a music lover Horace or good-natured Josh. The first is always ready to share the latest songs heard, and the second has simply incredible hacking abilities.
It is Josh who everyone considers the most talented of their association. Here it is worth noting Lenny - the head of another hacker group called Prime_Eight. He did not help Marcus in his adventures, because the two largest gangs of crackers always competed with each other, but he never interfered. They simply went their separate ways and tried to confront Nemech and his other allies.
Minor Antagonists
Among the other villains, allies of Dushan Nemech, Mary Catskill was noted first. In Watch Dogs 2, the characters are all extravagant, but this woman managed to hook the players the most. She really loves power and owning her network! NVITE is not enough for her. Mary is a valuable ally, as she has access to the profiles of many citizens of the city and country. A woman can track the flow of information, the mood of citizens, find different clues. Therefore, the main antagonist considers her an ally, and not just a pawn in his hands. These include Mark Truss - a congressman in the US parliament. The funds to his account come from network revenues! NVITE, and therefore he fully represents the interests of Dushan Nemech in the Senate. His voice is used to promote the use of ctOS 2.0 in other areas and cities of the country.
