* Edward Campbell (AKA "Cam") (voiced by Alec Baldwin) - Campbell was a cop for fifteen years before he was fired from the force for refusing to open fire on a group of rioters looting a grocery store. A highly respected and high-ranking officer, Campbell's dismissal resulted in a city-wide strike of protest by his fellow officers. The Corporation retaliated by replacing the entire force with their own security firm. Campbell and his fellow officers continued to protest, eventually uncovering evidence that Corporation was funding organized crime outfits to harass non-Corporation businesses. When the ex-officers attempted to air their findings, key members were assassinated, prompting Campbell to go into hiding. He has since been instrumental in organizing the underground revolutionary group, Freedom Fighters.
* Eliza Pearce (AKA "Librax") (voiced by Ming-Na-Wen) - Eliza was an up-and-coming criminal attorney who once believed in the Corporation model of rebuilding America, until she was blackmailed by the security forces to falsify evidence against political prisoners. When Eliza refused to railroad her clients and threatened to expose Corporation, she paid a horrible price. A car bomb planted by Corporation thugs killed her husband and daughter, but she survived the blast. Believed to be officially dead, Eliza has now hooked up with Freedom Fighters seeking revenge on the fascist state.
* Cameron Simpson (AKA "Slugz") (voiced by Ving Rhames) - Slugz remembers the way his neighborhood used to be. Although it wasn't always the nicest place to live, it now seems like paradise compared to the veritable war zone that it has become. Overrun by state-sponsored death squads and gangs, The Corporation has launched a war of attrition against the forgotten people of Slugz's neighbourhood, filling the days with gang fights, drive-by shootings & robberies. Once a hardened gang member, this charismatic figure has now turned his efforts to organizing his community into an armed resistance against the Corporation.
* Patter Johnson (AKA "Phat" or "Pat") (voiced by Steve Buscemi) - Phat was orphaned in high school when his parents were arrested as political dissidents and were never seen again. Phat went into hiding with other runaways before he was recruited by agents of Freedom Fighters. As Phat's father used to run a PC repair shop, he has been using PC's since he was a child, and has become a prolific hacker and phone phreak. He is personally responsible for several attacks against Corporation's infrastructure, which first attracted the Freedom Fighters movement to put the hacker to good use.
* Maxwell Tran (AKA "Dragon Warrior") (voiced by Matt Damon) - Dragon Warrior graduated from Mesa High and joined the armed forces before the Corporation takeover. He was discovered by a sports agent while playing for the army's football team, and was recruited to play professionally. Dragon Warrior enjoyed a legendary career until the Corporation bought the professional football league. When he refused to participate in Corporation-sponsored match fixing, he was framed for illegal drug-use, and served five years in prison. With his future bleak and reputation destroyed, Dragon Warrior was ready to go take out as many of the men responsible as he could. Dragon Warrior now uses his experience to train new recruits to Freedom and lead organized attacks against the Corporation.
