One example is engaging in a coup d'etat which involves retrieving the Battalion's Terror Bites for vile purposes, attacking Buckley AFB by surprise, and programming computer-controlled XA-60-Ex UCAVs to destroy every major city in the United States. His hard reasons for betraying his country remains a mystery as players will be able to know why Barrows did so in the PlayStation 3 conversion of the game.

Ricardo Blanco
The man behind the shooting of the Caruban president whilst disguised as Richard Miller. Ricardo was hired by Wild Dog to capture the president alive & deliver him to Wild Dog, framing Richard Miller. Ricardo did that, but was found by Richard. The two had a shootout, which Richard won, though he didn't finish Ricardo off. However, before Ricardo can answer any questions, Wild Dog shows up on a helicopter & finishes Ricardo off. In his dying breath, Ricardo tells Richard where Wild Dog is hiding. Although Blanco contributed much to Project Titan's shocking plot, he is not the chief antagonist in the game. Very accurate with a machine gun.

Ernesto Diaz
Ernesto Diaz is the chief antagonist in Time Crisis II. He was once an American military officer. Under the guise of a "Starline Network" to unite the world, he planned to launch a military satellite. He recruits Wild Dog as a security force. In the final duel against VSSE agents Keith Martin and Robert Baxter, he grabbed Christy Ryan and tried to use her as a shield against the agents. When that failed, he tried to throw her off to her death, but Baxter managed to save her. Diaz died when he fell down and into the satellite launchpad, destroying both him and the satellite. Diaz was handy with a rocket launcher (when fighting alongside Wild Dog), had accuracy that surpassed even his marksmen, and utilized a prototype satellite in an act of advanced planning.

Sherudo Garo
The last blood relative of the Sercian royal family. While Sherudo's plot is the central focus of Time Crisis, he is not the chief antagonist of the game. Sercia was once a monarchy until it was overthrown in the Sercian Revolution by William MacPherson, who later went on to be president of the newly-established Republic of Sercia. Determined to restore Sercia's imperial rule, Sherudo abducted the president's daughter, Rachel. Garo threatened to kill Rachel unless President MacPherson resigned from office and installs Sherudo into the throne. Although Garo fought VSSE agent Richard Miller valiantly utilizing throwing knives, his plan was spoiled when he was killed by Miller.

Kantaris
Little is known about this mysterious leader of the Kantaris criminal organization. Established long before the formation of the Republic of Sercia, the Kantaris organization was responsible for a number of large-scale crimes including arms dealing, drug dealing, theft, forgery and fraud. The leader Kantaris herself owned the Chateau du Luc, a luxury hotel that also served as a front for a weapons factory. While VSSE Intel came up empty on Kantaris, the agency does have positive verification that the Kantaris Organization itself is Wild Dog's Arms provider. Kantaris was presumed dead at the end of the game, though survival is possible.

Derrick Lynch
Derrick Lynch is the chief antagonist of Crisis Zone. Lynch is the leader of a terrorist organization called U.R.D.A., which as responsible for attacking Garland Square. Lynch's story is that he is a former commander in the Irish Revolution Army after serving in the British Army. He has two bodyguards named Tiger and Edge. In the game, Lynch planned to unleash a nuclear reactor at a nuclear test site. S.T.F operators were able to shut down the machine, killing Lynch in the process. After Lynch's death, Jared Hunter becomes second-in-command. In combat, he uses a strange-looking high-gauge semi-automatic shotgun plus "potato masher" grenades.

Derrick Lynch was named after an employee of Namco who created the game Time Crisis itself.

Terror Bites
The Terror Bites are biological weapons researched, created, invented, and compiled by the Hamlin Battalion. Barrows, in an act of dissatisfaction on how the Hamlin Battalion were being treated, ordered the Hamlin Battalion to turn against America, and to utilize the Terror Bites as part of Barrows' aim to destroy the United States shortly after the Terror Bites were approved for use. In the game, there are four types of Terror Bites: a beetle-like creature, a mosquito-like creature, an armadillo-like creature that explodes, and a mantis-like creature. The beetles and the mosquitos attack in swarms, attempting to latch onto their victims and kill them. The armadillos expands its abdomen and then explode. 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. All members of the Hamlin Battalion, as well as Wild Dog, wear devices that emit signals so that the Terror Bites do not attack them. Specific members of the Battalion use devices that actually control the actions of the Terror Bites. These creatures serve as the game's central plot in Time Crisis 4.

Wild Dog
The only character that has been featured in every single Time Crisis installment, protagonist or antagonist, save Crisis Zone.

Wild Fang
Wild Fang is Wild Dog's apprentice in training, whose known appearance as of 2007-01-14 was Time Crisis 3. He wears a red shirt with suspenders. His movements are free and his kick moves enable him to use objects as weapons. While proficient with a hand gun, Wild Fang prefers to use martial arts. During the events of Time Crisis 3, Alan Dunaway and Wesley Lambert managed to gun Fang down in spite of a tough fight. Whether or not he survived the events of the Astigos Island crisis remains unknown. The official Time Crisis 3 website lists him as "an idiot who thinks he is really cool." Alluding to his cocky nature in battle.

Giorgio Zott
Giorgio Zott is the leader of the Zagorias Federation Army. He's also the chief antagonist of Time Crisis 3.

In the story of Time Crisis 3, Zott sends out his army to invade Astigos Island. Despite protests from several nations and heavy resistance from the Lukano Liberation Army, the Zagorias Federation managed to seize 80% of Astigos Island thanks to Zott's strategy. First the Lukano Liberation Army discovers that Zott plans to launch four tactical missiles from Astigos to destroy Lukano. Then the VSSE states that the tactical missiles' potency can also be a threat to the surrounding nations as well. Unbeknowingst to the public good and the Lukano Liberation Force, Zott teamed up with Wild Dog. Alan and Wesley, in spite of a difficult fight, managed to kill Zott and destroy the tactical missiles before it left the silo, removing the threat to Lukano. Zott utilized a wide variety of weapons in combat, including an MP5, two rocket launchers, tesla tanks for support, and even a sword for close combat.
