History Characters / ArrowverseFreelandCriminals

* PlayingGertrude: Krondon was a mere 35 when the first season aired, yet Tobias was already an established adult villain in flashbacks 30 years ago, meaning he must be at least 50. Subverted when it's revealed later that he [[OlderThanTheyLook takes a serum that keeps him from aging]].

* AdaptionalVillainy: The Masters of Disaster fought by the Outsiders in the comics had moments of genuine sympathy and humanity, with Shakedown being a somewhat dim-witted but loyal GentalGiant as well as Coldsnap and Heatstroke being a couple seeking a cure for their abilities, as their powers ensured they could never again be in any form of intimate proximity with one another. Here, the Masters are unrepentant and ruthless criminal psychopaths, with little screentime to flesh out their characterization beyond being violent superpowered thugs.

* DudeWheresMyRespect: Todd's an undisputed genius, but he always had doors slammed in face because of his background and lack of connections.

* PragmaticVillainy: The ''only'' thing stopping him from targeting the Garfield students is that he knows that trying to attack the "Black Jesus of Freeland" would be the only thing that would properly galvanize the cops to take action. This doesn't stop them from ordering the Pierce sisters deaths so they can hide the bodies so they can't testify.

* AssholeVictim: Lala absolutely believed he deserved to die - a coward and misogynist who was willing to force Jennifer into prostitution to fix his issues.

Tobias's right-hand woman, who trained her to become an assassin when he took her from an orphanage when she was eight-years-old.

A brilliant computer and robotics student who after burning his bridges at his college falls in with Tobias.

* {{Foil}}: To Khalil, both are promising students who had their dreams shattered -- Khalil because of his injury and Todd because of racism and classism. But unlike Khalil, Todd adapts extremely well to working with Tobias, and shows no hesitation for any of the illegal activities Tobias asks him to do. For emphasis, Khalil was a physical threat, whereas Todd is a TechnoWizard.
* TragicVillain: A promising student with a bright future in robotics gets his research grant denied because of blatant favoritism upon the Board's part -- they gave it to a rich white kid whose dad make a sizable donation the week before, then ends up being corrupted by Tobias.

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:When Todd does all he can to help Tobias with the pod kids, he's of no more use, so Cutter lets him go with a new car ... that's rigged to explode.]]

%% Doesn't explain what the reaction is. * Berserk Button: He doesn't like "church-singing negroes" on the basis that they all want to go to heaven, but none of them want to die.

* AlternateSelf: Has one on [[Series/Lucifer2016 Earth-666]] [[Recap/Lucifer2016S01E03TheWouldBePrinceOfDarkness who is a]] ClingyJealousGirl.

* BerserkButton: He doesn't like "church-singing negroes" on the basis that they all want to go to heaven, but none of them want to die.

* IllGirl: Suffers from ALS.

Tobias's right-hand woman, who trained her to become an assassin when he took her from an orphanage when she was eight-years old.

* AbsoluteCleavage: Prone to this when not [[BareYourMidriff Baring Her Midriff]].

* MadeOfIron:Tobias had carbon fiber armor grafted to her body beneath the surface of the skin.

** He treats Painkiller harshly throughout his "apprenticeship", verbally and psychologically abusing him at almost every turn to mold him into a better employee. [[spoiler:Taken UpToEleven when Khalil can't go through with murdering Rev. Holt; after deciding that his teaching has failed because he was too ''lenient'' and ''friendly'' with the boy, Tobias proceeds to beat Khalil half to death and punch his head against the piranha tank until the reinforced glass shatters, while ordering him to kill his own mother as further punishment. Ironically, he had no idea that the reason for Khalil's betrayal is because he knew Tobias was the one who shot him.]]

* RantInducingSlight: Finding out he lost a research grant to some rich kid, whose dad made a sizable donation really set him off, especially ''after'' the Grant Board complimented on his extraordinary work the past year.
-->'''Todd:''' The same Garett Tortolani whose rich white dad just donated a new wing to the research center?\\
'''Board Member:''' Quite frankly, I resent the implication, Mr. Green.\\
'''Todd:''' Well, you can resent it all you want. That doesn't make it any less true.\\
'''Board Member:''' Good day, Mr. Green. The panel's decision has been made, and that decision is final.\\
'''Todd:''' Some straight bull! You can take that grant to hell, 'cause that's where all of you corrupt, racist bastards are going! ''[looks at the sole Black member]'' [[SarcasmMode Thank you, brother]].

* OverarchingVillain: The most recurring enemy in the series who menaces the Pierce family from its first season to its last.

* KnifeNut: Favors all kinds of knives as her weapons. Also uses knives to [[PinnedToTheWall pin]] her targets or bystanders down in a KnifeOutline, if they are in her way.
* MeaningfulName: She is a KnifeNut who likes to cut people.

** The season 2 finale finally sees Whale get his comeuppance. He is beaten handily by Black Lightning and Lightning, and is imprisoned in an off the books prison for metahumans called the Pit. The season 3 premiere also reveals that the serum that slows his aging is wearing off and he is dying.
** [[spoiler: He dies in battle against Jefferson in the Season 4 finale. It is also likely his crimes will be exposed by Looker's testimony.]]

* AffablyEvil: It is hard to pin-point if Tobias is genuinely nice to his co-horts or just [[FauxAffablyEvil a snake in the grass]]. While he is a BadBoss to his men, he did love his sister, cared about Syonide, and is willing to break his father's spinal cord without a moment's notice. Essentially, if you play your cards right for him, Tobias will end up taking care of you, as if you were family to him. As long as you don't double-cross him.

* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: Doubling with {{Pun}}, her name is pronounced as "cyanide".

* BadassBeard: He sports a very thick beard. Also overlaps with BeardOfEvil.

* ShoutOut: Introduces himself saying"[[Literature/MobyDick Call me Ishmael]]"

* MeaningfulName: Despite all the heavy crime in the city, Two-Bit was either unable or unwilling to get into anything worse than pushing drugs on the street (though on the other hand, Green Light is not exactly marijuana or ecstasy).

* NotSoDifferent: She ''tries'' to claim this between her and Black Lighting claiming they just look after their own. He shuts her down pretty quickly; Jefferson doesn't discriminate against race, only hate and that's not even going into how she uses her powers to force the Sange to be her slaves.
