Ansel Crane

Ansel, a character in The Heist: Monaco series, is the one who sold your crew out. He is first seen in The Heist: Monaco, Chapter 1.

Personality
Ansel is shown to be treacherous given that he sells your crew out in exchange for immunity. Since then, he has become a "security expert". He is also very fond of himself, maybe even narcissistic. That was one of the reasons why he betrayed the crew. He has a condescending attitude towards other people in the security industry. He expresses derogatory views towards the guards on Trask Island, since a high profile criminal (potentially two if you freed Whisper) escaped from a maximum security prison.

His selfish tendencies are shown in Chapter 7, when it is revealed that his contract with Ulrich Ziegler gives him the rights to whatever security system that is designed for the wedding and brand it as his own. In Chapter 9, his hypocrisy is shown when he justifies Carlisle's illegal methods but condemns other criminals like you.

Your Character
After Ansel sells your crew out, you vow to take him down and humiliate him. In Chapter 10, you have the option to reminisce with him about a job in Santorini where you saved him from the cops. He admits that he wanted to be you and that his betrayal was nothing personal. However, he lets it slip that Rye unintentionally helped him betray your crew to help his mother.

Barrett Carlisle
Ansel is working for Carlisle.

Lena Ortiz
Lena is Ansel's ex. She is eager to take him down to get her revenge. According to her, Ansel can't talk his way out of a speeding ticket. She saw him try once pleading with tears the whole deal and the officer charged him double. She also tells you that he is a jealous, insecure worm; if she is your Muscle, she gives you a fake business card of Ansel's rival to plant on Sonia to watch him get huffy and suspicious at his current right-hand woman.

Sonia
Sonia is Ansel's Chief Security Officer. In Chapter 9, she starts to doubt her allegiance to him after he makes several inappropiate advances on her and tries to justify Carlisle's corrupt business practices.
