Ubisoft seems to be steady with revealing bits of details about its upcoming blockbuster Watch Dogs. Last time it was the unboxing of the Vigilante Edition.
This time, Watch Dogs finally reveals something more connected to the actual game, the characters. These are the personalities that you will come across as Aiden Pierce, the character you will play and the protagonist in the single player campaign.
Video too fast to keep up? Don’t worry, we did the dirty work of listing all the characters down.
Clara Lille
Pierce describes this 28 year old Tattoo Artist as a “dangerous wildcard” and “the best hacker I know.” She is seen assisting Pierce in his quest to hack against the conspiring people of Chicago. Don’t let her tats intimidate you, she’s on your side. She comes with some baggage though, as Chicago Police list her as a “Suspected Dedsec Hacker.”
“T-Bone” Grady
Every story has “that crazy guy who likes blowing sh*t up” and T-Bone is Watch Dogs’s version. Blowing up sh*t is a mojo for him, apparently. He is not what he seems like, much like the entire Chicago city i.e. a 52 year old welder who is wanted by the cops for “civil disobedience.” Wonder whatever that was about..
Jordi Chin
Inclusion of T-Bone showed that Watch Dogs is taking the stereotypical route of characters. And just like in every modern American story, Jordi Chin is your Asian character in Watch Dogs. Chicago Police have no records of him, and Pierce describes him as a “fixer of principles that change with the price.” From the footage, he can be seen hooking up Pierce with a sticky bomb.
Ex-army, with experience of both tactical and gang warfare, 26 year old “Iraq” helps out Pierce in his stifling gun battles. Now self-employed, “Iraq” has extended his hand to Pierce’s purpose.
Dermot “Lucky” Quinn
“Lucky” Quinn rules Chicago’s crime syndicate with muscle and charm, as Pierce thinks so. Acquitted of multiple felony charges, this 75 year old calls himself a ‘philanthropist’ like that wasn’t obvious. “Experiences taught me not to be manipulated, not to back down” says Lucky.
