Major Jones

Info - Major Jones is an important ally towards Steve. She is currently 28
years of age and has been trained to adapt to various situations and
is an excellent pilot. Both people knew each other before, but due to
Steve's Amnesia, he does not recollect who she is when they meet
together again. Major Jones is also helping out General Carrington
on the 'conspiracy' of the president's assassination.


General Ben Carrington

Info - Another important ally who Steve needs to rescue first from the
Emerald Military Base. General Carrington was captured, then arrested
and sent to a prison cell inside the Military Complex by the SPADS.
He is conducting his own enquiry into the assassination.
Unconventional, but a good source of information and a good man.
General Carrington is the Chief of Staff, which is the highest US
Military Post and is also a war hero, being honoured with some of
the most prestigious medals in the United States Army.


Colonel Amos

Info - A high ranking FBI Official. Amos, who has a Czechnian and Jewish
nationality is a very methodical and intelligent person. He is currently
running the official FBI enquiry into the death of President William
Sheridan.


William Sheridan

Info - The unfortunate President who was assassinated supposedly by Steve
Rowland, while at a presidential parade in the streets of New York
City. William Sheridan was the 43rd President of the United States
of America.


Walter Sheridan

Info - Vowing that he will continue the work that his brother William had
started, he is currently helping General Carrington carry out his
inquiry into the assassination of his brother, William Sheridan.
He has also promised to stand against the Republican candidate
Joseph K. Galbrain.


The Mongoose

Info - The Mongoose has some connection towards the Presidents death. He is
a rather secretive, shadowy character with the skills of a professional
killer. One thing for sure is that he wants Steve Rowland
dead, something that The Mongoose thought had happened when he was
shot, after jumping off the boat. Failure is not an option for this
person.


General William S. Standwell

Info - A political figure and has quite a temper. He wants to replace General
Ben Carrington as the White House Military Chief of Staff.


Colonel Seymour McCall

Info - Has some ties to Standwell. He operates the Special Assault Destroying
Section division on an island off the Mexican Coast. He is an ambitious
and violent person who will stop at nothing to get the job done.

"Section E - Weapon Inventory"
###############################################################################

This section explains in detail about each of the weapons which are included
in the game. Each weapon includes both it's advantages and disadvantages - so
try to get to know these weapons so you can adjust to whatever situation you
are stuck in.

_______________________________________________________________________________
E01 \ * * * Close Combat * * *
-=-=-=-=-=-\___________________________________________________________________


- Punch -

Primary Mode - Punch
Secondary Mode - n/a

Info: One of the most common forms of attack in a game, Punching is pretty
self explanatory. Use it for various situations like stealth and
surprise approaches or just for conserving ammo.


- - - - - - - - - -

- Combat Knife -

Primary Mode - Throw Knife
Secondary Mode - Stab
Clip Size - 1
Primary Ammunition Type - Knives
Dual Weapons - No

Info: The most basic type of all weapons that you will obtain in XIII. The
standard combat knife is especially effective in close combat with the
enemy - silent but deadly. The primary mode allows you to throw the
knives from a distance, but this is ineffective in long range combat
as the distance and velocity the knife travels at is relatively
poor, especially against moving targets. This weapon is best used in
infiltration levels or in those areas you have the urge to stab the
typical guards head with - given the chance.

E02 \ * * * Handguns * * *

- 9mm Pistol -

Primary Mode - Single Shot
Secondary Mode - Dual Pistols [If available]
Clip Size - 13
Primary Ammunition Type - 9mm Bullets
Dual Weapons - Yes
Total Clip Size - 26

Info: A handy weapon to have at all times. The 9mm Pistol has a large ammo
clip for a Handgun and doubles when you are holding dual pistols. The
accuracy for this pistol is relatively good, although can be a little
off aim sometimes when firing rapidly. The major drawback of the
Pistol is it's relative weakness and the dual pistols reloading time
is longer.

- 9mm Pistol Silenced -

Primary Mode - Single Shot
Secondary Mode - Dual Pistols [If available]
Clip Size - 13
Primary Ammunition Type - 9mm Bullets
Dual Weapons - Yes
Total Clip Size - 26

Info: A rare attachment found especially in the singleplayer mode of the
game, the silenced pistol suppresses the bullets being fired from the
weapon, so it is harder for anyone in the area to hear the gun being
fired. Usually, if you are holding dual pistols and you grab the
silencer, it only adds the silencer to one of the two pistols you
are actually holding. Compared to the original 9mm Pistol, the
silenced version of the Pistol is pretty much the same, besides the
silencer obviously! Great for stealth or infiltration missions.

- .44 Special Revolver Magnum -

Primary Mode - Single Shot
Secondary Mode - Rapid Fire Shots
Clip Size - 6
Primary Ammunition Type - .44 Bullets
Dual Weapons - No

Info: The typical Magnum Revolver. A powerful and great handgun to use
against opposing enemies. This weapon tends to be more accurate
than the 9mm Pistol when using the Primary Mode, which is the
single shot. It takes about two or three bullets in the clip to
kill an armoured enemy with the exception of a head shot. Both the
firing rate and reloading is a little slow and the number of bullets
in the clip is very limited but the good accuracy compensates for
these noticeable drawbacks. If you find yourself with a difficult
enemy to kill or you are confronting a small group of enemies in
short range, using the secondary mode - 'rapid fire shots'
discharges all the bullets in the clip in a matter of seconds.
This secondary mode is achieved by the gunner continuously hitting
the 'hammer' at back of the magnum to make it fire faster.
Unfortunately, by using this mode, the accuracy is decreased to
about 20% to 30%, except if you are literally right next to the
enemy, because by hitting the gun numerous times, you lose control
of the Magnums actual accuracy.

E03 \ * * * Automatics * * *

- M16/M203 Assault Rifle -

Primary Mode - Automatic Fire
Secondary Mode - High Explosive Grenade Launcher
Primary Clip Size - 30
Secondary Clip Size - 1
Primary Ammunition Type - AR Ammo
Secondary Ammunition Type - AR Grenade
Dual Weapons - No

Info: The M16; a rapid firing assault rifle used as a standard firearm
in the US army. This weapon is a modified variant of the basic
M16, including a Medium Range High Explosive Grenade Launcher
mounted below the barrel, which can be used as it's secondary
function. The rapid firing rate of this assault rifle - creating
more of a small spread effect, compensates for it's average
accuracy and the short amount of ammunition inside the magazine.
Due to it's 'unstable' handling caused by the high amounts of
recoil, the user of the weapon will be required to constantly
adjust the weapon downwards when in rapid fire, if there is to be
any chance of hitting the acquired target. When using the secondary
function of the weapon, depending on how far you need to shoot the
grenade into the distance, you'll need to tilt the weapon upwards
at a greater angle to achieve longer ranges, as the grenade loses
velocity at a fast rate.

- Ak-47 Kalashnikov -

Primary Mode - Automatic Fire
Secondary Mode - Burst Fire
Clip Size - 30
Primary Ammunition Type - 7.62mm Bullets
Dual Weapons - No

Info: Known as the Kalash in XIII, this weapon acts pretty much the same
way as the M16 does, except the lack of accuracy is much more
noticeable. The Kalash is considerably more powerful than the
M16 Assault Rifle, therefore also making it a good choice as
an all-rounder assault weapon in combat.

- MiniGun -

Primary Mode - Automatic Fire
Secondary Mode - Dual MiniGuns [If available]
Clip Size - 32
Primary Ammunition Type - MiniGun Ammo
Dual Weapons - Yes
Total Clip Size - 64

Info: This very fast firing weapon disposes of it's entire clip in
seconds. It's accuracy is one of the poorest among all automatics
but can spray it's bullets along a certain area. If you want the
