Claude, like Keith, served in the British SAS prior to his coronation to the STF.

Richard Miller

Richard Miller is the protagonist of Time Crisis. The current ace of VSSE as the agency knows it, Richard often conducted solo missions, thus many authorities hail him as being the one-man army. Richard served as a US Marine during the Gulf War, where he learned how to use various munitions responsively and accurately. Combined with his lightning-quick reflexes, these skills allowed Richard to infiltrate and pursue antagonists secretly and swiftly. Because of Richard's immense abilities, Wild Dog hates him. Richard's milestones consists of the following: elimination of the Los Meurtos drug cartel, infiltration of the criminal organization Wild Dogs and Kantaris, securing Sercia's democracy and returning Rachel MacPherson back to William MacPherson "all in one piece", and clearing his name from a crime he didn't commit and exposing the reasons why he got framed.

William Rush

Rush is one of the two deuteragonists in Time Crisis 4. A 33-year old Captain of the U.S. Army and an operative in the U.S. Joint Intelligence Division.

Rush also served as part of the TF-11 (11th task force) prior to being transferred to the U.S. Joint Intelligence Division. Rush graduated at the University of Texas in Dallas as an Army ROTC cadet. When the U.S.J.I.D. realized the information leak that possibly could jeopardize the reputation of the VSSE. agents, Rush was sent to report the leakage to the VSSE and assist the operatives in their mission to pursue the traitors and curb the treasonous acts of the Hamlin Battalion. Rush fights alongside the VSSE agents, informs them of their enemies' identity in the beginning, and even rallies the remaining forces of the Colorado Air Force Base to fight off the depredations of the Hamlin Battalion and the "Terror Bites".

The mantis usually fights alone or in pairs, splitting into three separate weaker offsprings when one is killed. The Terror Bites seem to be controlled and directed by specific radio frequencies.
