* Military Brat
* Samuel "Sam" Garver
* Glen "Boss" Hatchet
* Mr. Fixit
* Verbal Tic - He adds "Hell" in the beginning of every sentence.
* Lesley "Smoke" Peterson
* Psychopathic Manchild - Practical jokes? Sure, why not. Short-fusing explosives and putting friendlies in mortal danger for some cheap laughs? Not the mark of an entirely sane man.
* Jimmy Upton
* Boxed Crook
* Dr. Ahmad "Doc" Koolhan
* Wink E. Dickerson
* Mary Beth Wilkens
* Rudy "Lynx-Eyed" Roberts
* Egomaniac Hunter
* Friendly Sniper
* The Hunter: His pasttime, according to his bio, is to hunt down endangered species.

* Name's the Same: There is an Atlanta reporter by the same name.
* Wrench Wench

* Edward "Ears" Stockwell
* Murray "Moses" Ebstern
* Patrick "Screw" Phillips
* Helmut "Grunty" Grunther
* BFG - his Weapon of Choice
* Poirot Speak
* Cluster F-Bomb - If he sees a bad guy, in German so you may not understand it
* Russel "Rusty" Hunter
* Only Sane Man - His selling point when compared to more skillful, but crazier explosive experts.
* Ivan Dolvich
* Deadpan Snarker -- And when he does, it is always in Russian.
* Former Regime Personnel
* Ensemble Darkhorse -- Did anyone ever play this game without hiring Ivan on day one?
* Husky Russkie -- Though he is rather short. His main specialty is firing heavy weapons, so.
* More Dakka with BFG -- His preferred way of dealing with his enemies
* Eloquent in My Native Tongue: Ivan only speaks Russian. Very good Russian, but still. By the time of JA 2, he has picked up enough English to communicate. His Russian is still eloquent, though.
* Dr. Bernie Gloveless
* "Unusually Ruthless" Reuban
* Ax Crazy - His weapon of choice is a cordless hedge trimmer. He wiped out his entire family with it.

* Japanese Ranguage
* Ascended Fanboy - Turns out, he left AIM because he got movie deals in Japanese-made Westerns. He returns in Unfinished Business as a mercenary for MERC, still wanting a taste of gunning down bad guys Western-style.
* Fidel Dahan
* Ax Crazy - "Fidel likes to kill."
* Mad Bomber
* Psycho for Hire - A lot more muted in Jagged Alliance 2, in which AIM slapped him and sent him off for counseling. They note he hasn't been himself...

* The Ace - mysterious, armed to the teeth, a master of almost every possible discipline and impractically expensive to employ.
* Face Heel Turn - in Jagged Alliance 2
* Hector Alvarez
* Johnny "Snake" Edwards

* Mr. Fixit
* Nerd Glasses
* Willy "Weasel" Augustin
* The Stool Pigeon
* Timothy "Leech" Jenkins
* Verbal Tic - "Give me a break"
* Dr. Clifford "Cliff" Highball
* Combat Medic - One of the few who has both decent (80s in Ja2) medical and marksmanship skills. He also has a perk in explosives, but it doesn't look like much (30-ish points in Explosives).
* Frank "Hitman" Hennessy
* Badass Grandpa (in JA 2)
* Lance Fisher
* Dr. Margaret "Stella" Trammel
* Battleaxe Nurse - Has the looks and attitude of one, but is a very professional and competent doctor in her own right.

* Corporal Len Anderson
* Sergeant Rock - Career military man since his teens. Has an experience level of 7 (out of a potential maximum of 9) in the sequel, surpassed only by Gus (8).

* Lightning Bruiser - Big guy with an Agility score of 99.
* Mr. Fixit
* Reverend "Rev" Clyde Potter
* Warrior Monk
* Megan "Sparky" Roachburn
* Valley Girl
* Genius Ditz - Between saying "like" in every sentence and missing every shot she ever fires, she's a master repairer- able to repair more points of gear per mission than Speck despite his higher mech score (due to a much higher dex).
* Dr. Mitch Shudlem
* Robert "Scully" James Sullivan
* Knife Nut
* Loveable Rogue
* Casanova - Apparently. And he's paid for it... quite literally, since he's paying child support.
* Howard "Carp" Melfield
* Carl "It" Goodman
* Gentle Giant
* Vincenzo "Vinny" Massimo
* Capt. Bob Adams

* Louisa "Buzz" Garneau
* Ax Crazy
* Broken Bird
* Alan "Spam" Webster

* Carl "Reaper" Sheppards
* Cold Sniper
* Dissonant Serenity
* Obviously Evil - Hell, even AIM quotes a CO that he's too dangerous for even service in Special Forces.
* Kyle "Shadow" Simmons
* Cold Sniper
* Deadpan Snarker - When up against Crepitus.
* Dissonant Serenity
* Stealth Expert - Paraphrasing his bio: "...that shrub, sand dune, snow drift or satellite dish could easily be this master of disguise. He has made it his business to blend into any kind of environment for any length of time." And it shows - he's a 100% camouflaged in all environments, regardless of what he's wearing.
* The Quiet One
* Trevor Colby
* Gadgeteer Genius
* G Day Mate. Warning: Don't let Stogie hear that.
* Ron "Raider" Higgins
* Battle Couple: With Raven.
* Charlene "Raven" Higgins
* Deadpan Snarker - To an awesome degree.
* Battle Couple - With Raider.
* Love Triangle - If Hitman's on the same squad. Oddly, she doesn't do anything - Hitman and Raider just argue and take a huge drop in morale.
* Thor Kaufman
* New Age Retro Hippie - His bio states he's a healer. Of course, he's good in artificial medication, too.

* Stephen Rothman
* Verbal Tic - "Schmorgasbord!"
* Dr. Daniel "Danny" Quinten
* Combat Medic
* Guns Akimbo
* Dr. Q. Huaong
* Badass Normal - He has the lowest marksmanship of all AIM people, but who cares if he got high agility and he can kill people with his BARE HANDS, which is very useful if you want to KO an Elite Mook to steal his gun (and his wisdom is high enough to make him one of the best after the initial few fights)!
* Combat Medic
* Ernie "Red" Spragg
* Mad Bomber - Inverted as it is heavily implied that his work with explosives has made him insane, rather than the opposite. He's also extremely finicky about setting up explosives.
* Keith "Blood" Hanson
* Knife Nut, Extremely deadly knife throwing skills
* Bare-Fisted Monk, Also one of the few characters with the martial art skill.
* Dr. Donna "Spider" Houston
* Deathbringer the Adorable - Turns out, "Spider" is so-called because she's afraid of insects.
* Bobby "Steroid" Gontarski
* Genius Bruiser: as the name implied, he is very strong. He is also one of the best mercs for repair, computers and lockpicking until you can afford specialists (and even then, still good). His primary weakness being speed.
* You No Take Candle - "Robert Gontarski is ummm... UNAVOIDABLE right now."
* Fantastic Racism - He hates Russians. Which has some real-life justifications, considering he's Polish.
* Narm - "Gun is empty! Dammit to hell!"
* Large Ham
* What the Hell Is That Accent? - sounds like a constipated Arnie parody, as done by someone who is mentally challenged.
* Norma "Meltdown" Jessop
* Ax Crazy - AIM even claims someone died of terror before she even raised her gun.
* Guns Akimbo
* Monica "Buns" Sondergaard
* Jack of All Trades - "Before settling on A.I.M., Buns explored a number of careers: kindergarten teacher, geriatric nurse, Danish sharpshooter at the Atlanta Olympic games, and professional soldier"

* Barry Unger
* Apologetic Attacker - Forgive me for taking life.
* Badass Bookworm
* Badass Preacher - his lines show that he is rather religious.
* Magikarp Power - has high wisdom
* Igor Dolvich

* Dr. Michael "M.D." Dawson
* The Medic: Quite well versed as a doctor straight out of med school.
* Wide-Eyed Idealist, Young, inexperienced, a little chattier than most of the others
* John "Bull" Peters
* Blood Knight, known to be violent and aggressive and while he is tough as nails in combat he is also known for a lack of discipline.

* Blood Knight: Doesn't care who he kills as long as he get to kill.
* More Dakka: Along with a shank, Frankie's weapon of choice involve a leadspitter.
* Doug "Gasket" Milton
* Red Scare, does not trust the Russians too much...actually he doesn't trust them at all.
* Bill "Razor" Lamont
* Knife Nut, Ax Crazy posterchild in Jagged Alliance 2
* Florence "Flo" Gabriel
* The Load - Terrible skills all around, except maybe as a teacher of the militia in Alruco
* Tim "Gumpy" Hillman
* Magikarp Power - His wisdom score is 94. His quick rise from awkward movie nerd to a soldier of fortune is hilarious in contrast.
* Thorton "Bubba" Jones
* Deep South
* Tim "Numb" Sutton
* Jim "Cougar" Wallace
* Only Sane Man - before Unfinished Business came along, he was the only professional mercenary among the crowd of cowards, civilians, psychiatric patients, mental defectives and other misfits that was the M.E.R.C. roster. The most expensive, too.
* Military Brat - His father ran a military institute, and he follows the regs to the letter. In fact, he wouldn't be out of place in a World War Two flick.
* Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking - When near death, he complains about his gaping chest wounds... and asks for some asprin afterwards.
* Gaston Cavalier
* Face Death with Dignity: if he is severely wounded
* Friendly Sniper - Suave and sophisticated.
* Lt. "Stogie" Horge
* Colonel Badass - though he is not a colonel
* Firing One-Handed - Another one beside Grizzly that can hold a machine gun one handed
* Col Frederick Biggins
* Colonel Badass
* The Mario
* Quintessential British Gentleman - Apparently has had lesser mercs carry his equipment for him as if he was on an India hunt. Jagged Alliance 2 Local Recruitables
* Kevin "Maddog" Cameron
* Ax Crazy - Probably the only reason he joins you is that he always wanted to kill the queen's goons.
* Large Ham
* Magikarp Power - The only problem with him is he is level 1 when you get him, if you manage to get him to level 4...
* Mr. Fixit, a Trigger Happy one to boot!
* Greg "Dynamo" Duncan
* Catch Phrase - S-O-B!
* It's Personal
* Roaring Rampage of Revenge - Having your family executed in front of you kind of makes that happen.
* Devin Cornell
* Breeham "Shank" Druz
* Chekhov's Skill - He's a rather useless rebellious teenager, who happens to have practiced knife-throwing to impress his friends at parties. Guess what's the most effective way to stealthily kill somebody in this game?
* Dr Vincent Beaumont
* The Medic, Non-Action Guy - Low agility, worthless marksmanship and top-shelf medical skills.
* Lt. Conrad Gillit
* Awesome but Impractical - Great in everything... if he wasn't hideously expensive.
* Boisterous Bruiser - He likes to boast if he kills something (especially crepitus), though in a humorous way.
* Dissonant Serenity - "Remain calm, it just bug!"
* Insufferable Genius - A solidly competent soldier, trainer and a leader who sees himself as nothing less than a celebrity.
* More Dakka - He is an automatic weapons specialist.
* Igmus "Iggy" Palkov

* Knife Nut - though not as good as Dimitri
* Ira Smythe
* The Medic
* Deadpan Snarker - her comments on towns and special places.
* Mr. Exposition: Will, snarkily, give background on locations if she is sent there after they have been liberated.
* Magikarp Power - Her marksmanship is abysmal, but her wisdom is sky-high. This combined with time, patience and her expert-level Teaching specialty means she has the potential to be both a competent gunner and the absolute #1 militia trainer in the game.
* Dimitri Guzzo
* Knife Nut - The reason he stays useful even on end game is that he can 1 hit KO even black shirts.
* Mr. Exposition: usually take turns doing this with Ira, even though his English is certainly not perfect.
