Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six (video Game) - Characters

Characters

• John Clark - born in 1944 is commander of Rainbow, and arguably the closet thing to a main protagonist the game has. Although he almost never physically appears he appears during the planning stage, during which the player can get a briefing from him. Unlike most characters Clark can give briefings on every mission throughout the game. His physical character appears during the closing cut scene when John Brightling is being interrogated by the FBI. At the end he commends the soldiers for their bravery.

• Catherine Winston - born in 1965 is a bio-hazard expert who becomes involved with Rainbow after being kidnapped by Hutu rebels in Africa and rescued by Rainbow. She briefs the characters on most mission but not all. Unlike John Clark, Catherine makes more physical appearances than him on levels 2 and 10. Ironically both of these levels she has been kidnapped (she is kidnapped by Phoenix Group after discovering their plan). She is last seen viewing Brightling's interrogation.

• John Brightling - CEO of "Horizon" and the games main antagonist. He organised Horizon as a cover for "Phoenix Group" and had some members in Global Security. He is and adviser on levels 2 and 4 but goes into hiding after Rainbow begin to unravel everything. However after his plan fails, Lang and Hendrikson are captured and put in Rainbow's custody. Brightling barricades himself in the Horizon Ark itself. After Rainbow storm the ark, they find Brightling to which he said "I see the Cavalry has finally arrived. He states that the guns aren't necessary as he will come quietly. Once in Rainbow's custody, he tells Clark that it's not over and in 100 years there wont be a creature larger that a rat alive anywhere on the planet.

• Anne Lang - Adviser for Rainbow and Horizon and main supporting antagonist. She is rainbow's security leak and gave away all their Intel to Brightling and she orders Catherine's capture. Clark said that he never trusted her or Brightling. Anne herself is put into Rainbow's custody after a failed attempt to fake her own death. She is last seen arguing with Clark saying that this is outrageous.
