List of Red vs. Blue characters


The following list describes each of the characters from the popular webseries Red vs. Blue, originally created by Rooster Teeth Productions.

Note that some of the characters listed are either currently MIA (Missing in Action), KIA (Killed in Action), reoccurring, and/or are important to the plot of each season.

Colonel Sarge is the leader of the Red Team on Blood Gulch. He is voiced by Matt Hullum, co-creator of the series, and first appeared at the end of Episode 1. He has a Southern accent. Sarge is somewhat bloodthirsty, and the only Blood Gulch soldier on either team to actually be serious about war. It is mentioned that he has a military background and briefly joined the ODSTs. His preferred weapon is a shotgun, which he carries at all times. He has a passionate disgust for Grif, demonstrated by his repeated willingness to sacrifice Grif during combat missions as well as how all of his contingency plans are to kill Grif. Despite all of this, Sarge relies on Grif the most as the only times his suicidal plans work are when Grif holds an active role in them. He has something of a father-son relationship with Simmons, but is either oblivious to Simmons' feelings or just doesn't seem to care. He displays little knowledge of tactics and his plans are often horrible suicide missions. However, he is shown to be a good mechanic, and is able to repair Jeeps with limited supplies and construct complex droids.

At the end of The Recollection series, after finding out that the whole Blood Gulch war was merely simulation training for the Freelancers, he is extremely devastated, forcing him to re-evaluate his motives. Realizing how important his teammates are to him, both Red and Blue, he rallies both teams together to fight a common enemy; The Meta. After his revaluation, he is shown to be a good motivational speaker, and speaks to the teams various times throughout the later seasons.

Sarge is played by Saul Portillo in the live-action, crossover episode Immersion: The Warthog Flip.

Captain Richard "Dick" Simmons is voiced by Gustavo Sorola, co-creator of the series. He's the second-in-command of the Red Team. Simmons and Grif were the first two characters to ever appear in Red vs. Blue, appearing at the start of Episode 1. He is very attentive to his superior, Sarge, and, unlike Grif, obeys his orders, but is also a "brown-noser". Simmons is by far the most intelligent member of Red Team and shows extensive knowledge of technology and computers, as he is able to hack into the Freelancer mainframe and delete the Blue Team's records. He is shown to be very tactically minded and continuously demonstrates an ability to formulate effective battle plans and strategies. However, his plans are always overlooked by Sarge, but when Simmons attempts to follow through with his plans, the plan often falls apart and he panics. He appears to be the most practical of the Red team, and determines the logical explanation for events while Sarge creates ludicrous theories. He appears to have a fairly decent friendship with Grif, despite their constant bickering.
