Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: The Responsible to Juliette's Foolish. Which makes it weird when Helene herself appears to give Manon her mission briefing in the game's last levels. Expy: is based on real life OSS operator Hélène Deschamps-Adams (who also served as Underground's technical adviser). Juliette later notes the irony that Manon is the one of them who winds up getting shot. She's fiercely protective of her sister and does her best to protect her, even though Juliette is perfectly capable of handling herself too. Cool Big Sis: To Juliette in Above and Beyond. Action Girl: Manon is a recurring protagonist who has taken out scores of Nazis over the series. Previous Player-Character Cameo: Returns in the Underground bonus mission, is mentioned in Allied Assault, and pilots a plane with the player character on it in Airborne. He's also the player character through the Underground bonus mission. Player Character: Of the first Medal of Honor game, Frontline, and Heroes. One-Man Army: When the OSS need something done, they send him. Implacable Man: Stormed Omaha Beach, retrieved an important attaché case while being chased by the Gestapo, destroyed the railgun Greta, scuttled the U-4901 and the U-4902, the latter of which he used to infiltrate a German port in Lorient, which he left a smouldering wreck, infiltrated Kleveburg and the highly-guarded Dorne manor in order to free Dutch resistance operative "Gerritt", stopped the production of the Ho IX fighter jets and killed SS Haupsturmführer Rudolf Ulbricht von Sturmgeist and his bodyguards, gassed Fort Schmerzan, sabotaged the Rjiukan Hydro Plant, saved numerous works of art and treasures from the Germans, and destroyed a V-2 rocket facility. The Noodle Incident that Patterson performs after surviving that crash is what gets him noticed by the OSS and sets off his heroics. The plane is damaged and is going down as the player jumps out. In one of the player character's missions Patterson is piloting the plane dropping them in. Hero of Another Story: In Airborne he's this. Elites Are More Glamorous: He's a member of the 2nd Ranger Battalion. Chekhov's Skill: His training as an aeronautical engineer, mentioned in the briefing to the first level, comes into play to sabotage the V2's gyroscope in the penultimate.
If it wasn't for his apparently subpar German (achieved a C- in German but argues he'd rather let bullets do the talking anyway), he would qualify for The Ace. Also very athletic and proficient with all kinds of firearms and explosives.
