Guess I'll add all the characters I've killed in my Darwin's Soldiers stories:
Schrodinger's Prisoners:
(Note: None of these characters actually died, as it was a virtual reality simulation, and they all wake up at the end)
Bruce Tinner: Future Dragnostorm scientist (as this is a prequel), and rival of Shelton. He built the virtual reality machine. Gets shot in the arm after his programmed immunity was turned off and later dies from a green wall of death he programmed himself.
He's responsible for the whole story, and his defeat in this story serves as the impetus for Nietzsche's Soldiers.
Compton: One of the soldiers who goes into the virtual reality machine, his discovery of the the origin of the poisonous gas allows the rest of the team to proceed, even though he dies from the gas.
Ridgeway: A soldier who stuck with Shelton for most of the story, he saves Shelton from Zenarchis, but later gets stuck in the air vents and dies of poisonous gas.
Finney: Last soldier, sacrificed himself providing cover fire from the invaders so the rest of the team could proceed.
These three did little more than just shoot stuff, but each of them saves Shelton's life at least once while in the machine.
Biff Carlo: A saboteur who takes over the virtual reality machine while inside it, he turns off Tinner's immunity and later gets killed by gunfire and poisonous gas simultaneously.
Served as a "final boss" after Tinner's death, but otherwise minor

Card of Ten:
Siberys: Part of James' team. Tried to get revenge on King Gamas for everything he's done, but in doing so he betrayed James and was preventing the team from escaping, so James shot him.
First casualty of James' team, the only one to die in the first half of the story
Hawkeye: Stayed behind on Gaman to open the hangar doors and let the rest of the team escape the disintegrating planet. He lived on as the cybernetic part of his mind integrated with the shuttlecraft's computer.
Saved the rest of the team from dying on Gaman.
Vic and Kagetora: Stayed behind in anti-Pelvanida to keep the bridge open for the rest of the team, and presumably died of radiation.
Allowed the rest of the team to get home.
Everybody on Gaman: When the rebels attempted to take back the planet from Jacade, leader of the Sapaar, he activated a series of controlled explosions to weaken the planet's crust and cause the planet to break up. Only a few shuttlecrafts escaped; most of the planet's population perished.
Ship of State will chronicle the fates of the remaining survivors in the shuttle crafts

Nietzche's Soldiers:
Alpha, Beta, and Gamma: Dragonstorm commandos. Tried to hunt down Shelton, Kerzach, and Eddie. Eddie killed Gamma with a mop handle, Kerzach sniped Beta from a distance, and both worked together to finish off Alpha.
Each one was like a "mini-boss" before the trio reached Tinner
Dr. Tinner: Reappearing from Schrodinger's Prisoners, this time Tinner has adapted his virtual reality machine to hide Dragonstorm from the outside world. Kerzach shoots him in the chest three times at the end of the story.
Again, served as primary antagonist, and completed his character arc started in Schrodinger.
Eddie McKay: Assistant to Dr. Tinner, he betrayed Dragonstorm to help Shelton and Kerzach destroy the virtual reality machine. Programmed the virtual reality machine to blow up, with him inside it.
Responsible for the destruction of the virtual reality machine, and also showed that not everyone in Dragonstorm supports what the scientists are doing.

Pavlov's Checkmate:
Ricky Warden: Rogue Pelvanida night guard, kidnapped surviving team mates from Card of Ten, traveled to 1990, and used the Einstein-Rosen bridge to start a smuggling operation. Killed in a knife fight by James, who went back in time to stop him.
Primary antagonist, but otherwise non-notable.
Lockdown: Surviving team mate from Card of Ten, he made it back to Earth but was killed by Ricky when Shelton and Hans refused to repair the bridge.
Only mentioned in dialogue, no importance on story.
