This guide is gonna break down the rag tag group of characters from Bulletstorm.

Grayson Hunt

When Dead Echo members Grayson Hunt, voiced by Steve Blum, and Ishi Sato discover that they had been working on the wrong side, they betray their squad commander and end up being exiled to the edges of the galaxy. Players take the role of Grayson Hunt a few years after his exile, who had since become a drunken space pirate. He ends up getting involved on an interstellar crash landing in an encounter with their old squad commander. Grayson Hunt and Ishi Sato discover on the planet that they are surrounded by hordes of hostile mutants and crazed cannibalistic gangs in an abandoned paradise. They decide to work together once again to get off the planet alive and take revenge on the man who stranded them in this defiled paradise.
Grayson Hunt was the leader of Dead Echo, an elite band of soldiers and the pride of General Sarrano’s army. After a revelation of the true nature of the work they did for Sarrano, Gray and his team went AWOL and have since become a band of rogue space pirates. Extremely cynical, resentful and harboring a drunken disposition, Gray is pissed at the world, a ticking time bomb ready to explode at any second, which makes him both a dangerous and a skilled soldier.

His gun is as dry as his sarcastic wit. Gray often acts first and thinks about consequences never. Fighting is what keeps him busy and helps him forget about what happened in the past. Gray was seen battling the Ulysses, the warship of General Sarrano before both men went down in flames. After landing on the planet Stygia, Gray is forced to find his way off the planet while, in the mean time, teaming up with some rather unusual partners. Gray was last seen in an escape pod with Trishka on his way off of Stygia.

Ishi Sato

Ishi Sato is a character in the game Bulletstorm. He is a cyborg and accompanies Grayson Hunt in Bulletstorm. Calm and professional, Ishi Sato leads the Dead Echo squad with Gray. As Dead Echo began to sink into the life of pilfering piracy, Ishi alone remained the voice of reason.
Ishi is the son of Kose Sato, one of the galaxy’s wealthiest men. Kose, the founder of Sato Colonial Developed, was no fan of the newly formed Central Unit as he suspected General Sarrano’s methodology would hurt new development, thus threatening all of his business building new cities in new worlds. When Kose’s youngest son left to enter the Central unit’s military academy, Kose offered Ishi enough wealth to purchase an entire city of his own, anything to dissuade him from joining the force. Ishi’s response; “Without an end to war, the fortune you offer me would mean nothing.”

After his near fatal injury, Ishi had several cybernetics attached to him, including a robot’s bioprocessor. Ishi is then in a constant war for control with the AI inside him, often leading to violence against people he would normally regard as friends.

Trishka Kovak

Trishka “Lovely Bitter” Novak (voiced by Jennifer Hale) is the daughter of a human rights leader who was coldly assassinated; though she never got a look at the men who did the killing she dedicated her life to becoming an elite assassin herself so that she might one day find her father’s killers and pay them the hell back. To this end, she joined Final Echo, the premiere covert squad in all the colonies, led by General Sarrano. Trishka is an Echo Assassin, one of the most deadly in the universe; a tough, fierce soldier with a “no bullshit” attitude.

General Sarrano

General Sarrano is the previous general of Dead Echo. He manipulated Grayson’s team to do some “ugly shit.” It is currently unknown what he tricked Dead Echo into, but it could have been the tricking was killing innocent people when Serrano told Grayson they were criminals.
Described as a “dick” by a Bulletstorm producer, his somewhat deranged appearance, irrational actions, and barrages of insults could lead one to question his sanity, and through the course of the game it becomes incredibly apparent that he is sociopathic. He is the main villain of the game and has placed a bounty on Dead Echo’s head for mercenaries to kill Grayson and co. Grayson has swore a vendetta on him, but Sato suggests to use Sarrano and his ship, the Ulysses, to get off Stygia.

Whit Oliver

Dr. Whit “Mechanic” Oliver is a father figure to the crew. Graying and overweight, he fits the role. A good ol’ boy from Tennessee exuding the southern charm of a gentleman, he’s also the best field surgeon around. You get shot up, Doc is the guy you want stitching you back together.
Expert engineer as well as Doctor, he was one of the first people brought in to develop the “hack and weld” method of in-the-field limb replacement. He’s trained in arm, leg, finger, and toe replacement. For any limb blown off in battle he could attach a robotic one in fewer than two minutes.

He and Grayson Hunt don’t always see eye to eye. Doc often sides with Ishi Sato on issues. The years spent as a pirate don’t sit well with Doc, but as a wanted man, what other choice does he have?

Rell Julian

Rell “Le Pew” Julian is a French-Canadian explosives expert with a taste for booze and womanizing. Rell did poorly in school but showed a natural aptitude for blowing things up. Rell was chosen for Central unit by General Sarrano. Rell has been docked as many paychecks as he’s earned while under the command of the General.
If you’re “in the shit”, Rell is the guy you want on your side. He operates a large grenade launcher and is a whiz with explosive traps. He’s fearless, the first guy shooting every time — sometimes when he shouldn’t. Post Dead Echo, Rell and Grayson Hunt have a close friendship born from a mutual love of being intoxicated. They are stereotypical skirt chasing, fighting, filthy, drinking buddies.

Kose Sato

Kose Sato is one of the galaxy’s wealthiest men. As the founder of Sato Colonial Developed, he was no fan of the newly formed Central Unit as he suspected General Sarrano’s methodology would hurt new development, thus threatening all of his business building new cities in new worlds. When Kose’s youngest son left to enter the Central unit’s military academy, Kose offered his son Ishi Sato enough wealth to purchase an entire city of his own – anything to dissuade him from joining the force.

Bryce Novak

Bryce Novak is a reporter and is also Final Echo member Trishka Novak’s father. General Sarrano minipulated Dead Echo and ordered the squad to assassinate him. Dead Echo then realised what Sarrano was up to after reading an article Bryce was working on about the General’s corruption.
