"Jagged Alliance 2" (PC) - Quest-Characters 1 Quiz

Answer: Elliot

"Elliot, you idiot!"

Elliot is the most devout servant an evil dictator could possibly hope for. He regularly reports the player's actions to the Queen, including mostly bad news. The Queen then invariably slaps Elliot silly and calls him an idiot, which seems to have absolutely no effect on the poor bloke's enthusiasm for his job. Eventually, as the player's forces approach the Queen's palace in the capital, Deidranna becomes so enraged that she actually shoots Elliot in the forehead. Surprisingly, this does nothing to stop him either!

Answer: Mike

Mike was the top mercenary available for hire in "Jagged Alliance 1", and quite a fan-favourite! Sirtech ("JA2"'s developing company) decided to remove Mike from the roster for the second game, and instead licensed his mercenary services to the Tyrant Queen, meaning that he's an enemy this time around.

This plot twist sits well with Mike's back-story as a cunning opportunist. Mike will usually appear when least expected, carrying a very powerful rifle (an H&K G11), and will not hesitate to kill your men. Fortunately, no one on your team will be dismayed for putting several lead bullets into him.

Answer: Sal

Pablo handles incoming shipments at Drassen Airport. However, unless his palm is properly "greased", he will occasionally steal parts of your shipments, setting you back financially. You can opt to intimidate him, but like anyone else in the game he might also be killed outright.

He'll then be replaced by Sal, a nice guy who means no harm, but can often be far worse when it comes to shipments (he can lose an entire shipment by mistake, or cause massive delays!). The best option would be to slip Pablo a nice bundle of cash - this will placate him and ensure that your shipments arrive without a hitch.

Answer: Carmen

Carmen travels around Arulco and can often by located in one of its many bars. He offers $10,000 for the heads of a number of terrorists who may or may not be hiding in the country. Yes, that literally means THEIR HEADS, which you must cut off their dead bodies with a machete after killing them. If you find one and attack him (or her), make sure to avoid aiming for the head as you might accidentally blow it clear off!

Answer: Freak

There are a total of 6 different terrorists in "Jagged Alliance 2", scattered in the different towns of Arulco. However, only some of them (randomly) will appear in any single play-through of the game. They are hiding behind pseudonyms, and you will only be given outdated portraits with which to identify them.

It's not terribly difficult to recognize them based on the photographs though. Once killed, you must chop off a terrorist's head and take it to Carmen for the $10,000 reward. Of course, that's assuming you can kill them - some are very accomplished combatants. And if you play your cards right, you could even recruit one of them...

Answer: Kulba

John and Mary Kulba are a retired American couple who were hoping to take a nice, quiet vacation in Aruba. Unfortunately, John bought tickets to Arulco instead - a military dictatorship in the midst of a civil war. You'll find the Kulbas at the ruins in Chitzena, and they'll ask you to escort them back to the airport at Drassen, which is way across on the other side of the country.

While the trip may be long (unless you've got the helicopter at your disposal), it does carry a considerable reward.

Answer: Kyle

Kyle is the token "camp" character in Arulco. His dream is to own a leather shop; and conveniently enough there is a leather shop in San Mona as well. If you do a certain good deed, you will be granted the deed (no pun intended!) to that leather shop, which you can give to Kyle for a substantial financial compensation.

Answer: Billy

Billy guards the main door at the San Mona brothel. He won't cause any trouble, unless of course your relations with the San Mona criminal organization have gone sour. If you're doing side-quests involving said brothel (hint-hint!), you should remember that Billy is not the only guard in the building...

Answer: Henry

There are 5 mines in Arulco, each placed in a different town on the map. Controlling the mines is of utmost importance, as they are the only continuous source of cash-flow that the game provides. Since it costs money to hire and keep mercs on your team, the amount of mine income you get is the chief factor in determining how many mercs (and which mercs) you can employ. One of the mines (randomly selected) will run out sometime after it's been liberated. Just pray that it is the smallest mine (Chitzena), otherwise the hit to your income may make the situation much more dire for you!

Answer: Rat

There are almost a dozen different characters hanging around in Arulco that may be recruited to your team. On the whole, native Arulcans RPCs (for "Recruitable Player Characters") are not particularly well-endowed in combat skills or experience, but most of them will join you for FREE, making them great characters for support roles such as logistics or militia training. Two of the characters, Iggy and Conrad, are rather valuable, but do require a considerable fee on par with professional mercenaries. Rat is not one of the RPCs; he is a quest-related NPC (a "Non-Player Character") who will only appear when playing the Sci-Fi campaign.
