Simmons (Red vs. Blue)

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.

In Season 15, Sarge becomes extremely depressed as he did not die heroically on Chorus. His depression leads him to create evil robots to fight, and declaring war on gravity and the "Whites" (Jax and Dylan). Sarge is easily manipulated by Temple, and joins the Blues and Reds to help the war on the UNSC, betraying the Reds and Blues. Sarge has a change of heart, and saves Dylan and Jax from execution before rejoining the Reds and Blues.

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