->'''Played By:''' Creator/KellyAuCoin
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/billions_309_1998r_1_8.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''"I'm Keyser Soze, motherfucker."'']]
-->''"...I am not uncertain."''
Stern is a trader at Axe Capital, and one of the guys who have been with Bobby the longest. His loyalty is beyond question.
* BaldOfAwesome / BaldOfEvil: More like thinning but it's doable.
* BerserkButton: He will move heaven and earth to find the person responsible for stealing his lucky dollar.
* CrimeAfterCrime: When his Chicken Man insider trading scheme backfires, he has a VillainousBSOD and decides to escalate all the way to [[spoiler: bio-terrorism by infecting a chicken farm with bird flu]].
* EvilIsPetty: In "Flaw in the Death Star" he plumbs the very depths of pettiness, stealing a newspaper from a vending machine and then destroying Spyros's car because Spyros inconvenienced him.
* {{Flanderization}}: Zig-zagged. In season 1, Bill is just your basic amoral trader. By season 3, he descends briefly into self-parody (see EvilIsPetty above) before forming a [[PragmaticVillainy pragmatic alliance]] with Spyros in order to make more money.
* HiddenDepths: Seeming at first like the epitome of the ruthless, macho, double-dealing lifestyle of their firm, with nothing more than his (very well-compensated) loyalty to Axe as a redeeming feature, his changing conduct towards Taylor in Season 2 shows there is more to him than that.
* LargeHam: Not one for subtlety or a plain tone. As seen in the right image, "over the top" is his default state.
* ManipulativeBastard: His out-gambitting of Chuck Rhoades: "I'm Keyser Soze, motherfucker."
* PaperTiger: Bill loves to yell and scream and bluster, but it's mostly noise.
** Has a tantrum when Axe gives the second Alpha Cup seat to Taylor, but Axe shuts him down fast.
--> '''Bill:''' That's ''my fucking seat!''
--> '''Axe:''' I paid for it; it's ''my'' fucking seat. I can give it to whoever the fuck I want!
** In "Icebreaker" (s03e09), gets shown up by ''three'' lower-ranking employees at different times. Only one pays for it, and that one is punished by Wags, not Bill.
** In "Fight Night" (s04e08), getting his ass handed to him by Bonnie (who is half his size) during an impromptu training session turns him into a weeping, blubbering mess. [[spoiler:His big boxing match with Mafee ends in an underwhelming draw]].
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: At the start of Season 2, he very nearly calls Taylor a freak for identifying as non-binary, and only a sharp look from Axe stops him. To give him his due, once Taylor proves to be a major asset to the company, he shows genuine respect and loyalty.
* PetTheDog: Despite his earlier contempt towards Taylor, once they have shown their worth to the company and proven willing to engage in the cut-throat aspects of the Wall Street lifestyle, he treats them as a valued colleague, gives them a large off-the-books cash sum and some completely sincere advice about how it's always a good idea to have cash hidden away in case all hell breaks loose. At the end of the season when Taylor is made [=CIO=] instead of him, he accepts it as a good call and asks them what he can do to help.
* {{Pride}}: Takes great pride in being "not uncertain" and has an ego the size of the Moon. Hurting either will cause him to go overboard. Being forced to publicly apologize to Spyros causes him to wreck Spyros' Porsche. Finding himself unable to rig the chicken pricing scheme causes him to [[spoiler:steal an [=H1N1=]-infected chicken and attempt to plant it in a chicken farm, which would have caused a serious health crisis if Bobby and Wags hadn't stopped him in time]].
* TheRival: In "Flaw in the Death Star", he and Ari Spyros' mutual dislike spills into genuine hatred, with Bill eventually ramming his car into Spyros' prized Porsche.
* TheScrooge: His nickname comes from the fact he's a tightwad despite being a multi-millionaire hedge fund analyst.
** His frugality begins to make more sense with the post-arrest revelation that he's supporting two families.
* StupidCrooks: Usually averted, as his schemes are well thought-out and tend to insulate him and Axe Capital from the main criminal activity. However, when the Chicken Man scheme backfires, he has a VillainousBSOD and in desperation attempts to [[spoiler:infect a chicken farm with bird flu]]. He does the deed personally and seems unconcerned about fingerprints and security cameras. He also seems completely oblivious to the fact he is engaging in [[spoiler:bio-terrorism]] and could kill people.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Axe. In Bill's words "they fuck you, they fuck me!".

-->''"You do your three or five or ten years here, then you flip to our side, cash seven figures from the same big funds you're trying to bring down."''
Bach is the in-house lawyer for Axe Capital, and used to teach law at NYU.
* AmoralAttorney: As Bobby's attorney, he advises Bobby on how to deal with Chuck's investigation and is often privy to his client's schemes to dodge scrutiny.
* AffablyEvil: Maybe not "evil"...at least compared to people like Hall. But he is probably the most level-headed person on Axe's team, and remains cordial with his former student Bryan Connerty even though they are on opposite sides of the Axe-Rhoades feud.
* FaceHeelTurn: He taught Connerty that a lawyer's calling was about serving the spirit of the law beyond mere recompense, but one day he sold out and started playing for the defence and [[EvilPaysBetter its seven figures per year]].
* HonestAdvisor: Is this to Bobby.
* TheMentor: Interestingly enough, to Connerty, who was his law student.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Does not waver from his support of Bobby, through investigations and allegations and all the might of the U.S. Attorney's office gunning for him. His loyalty is to Bobby and Bobby alone, even when Lara tries to bribe him and consult him for divorce advice. He turns her down flat, reminding her Bobby pays him well enough that she'd have to triple the bribe just to get his attention.

SEC official who is a thorn in Chuck's side at the Attorney General's office. He later becomes the compliance officer at Axe Capital.
* BrickJoke: In season 2, he bullies Chuck with the Cortado Gambit (see [[EvilIsPetty Evil Is Petty]] below). In his first appearance in season 3, he swaggers into Axe's office holding... a cortado.
* CoolCar: Owns a sleek red Porsche convertible. Which Dollar Bill [[ThePreciousPreciousCar totals]].
* EvilIsPetty: Makes Chuck send his secretary out for a cortado, then refuses to drink it.
* FaceHeelTurn: From the Securities and Exchange Commission to Axe Capital, a major rules violator. He tries to present his role there as responsible of compliance as enforcing good practice, with little success.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Ari gets on the nerves of everyone in Chuck's office by butting into their investigations, and is especially loathed by Chuck after he finds out that Ari [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil raped a classmate in college]]. When Ari leaves the SEC for Axe Capital, his new co-workers also regard him with disdain.
* GloryHound: This is really what all his [[{{Jerkass}} Jerkassery]] is about.
* IgnorantOfTheirOwnIgnorance:
** "This is a case of what I like to call... The Prisoner's Dilemma." Chuck immediately snaps and retorts that's just how it's called.
** Bursts into Axe's office warning of a "[[DefconFive DEFCON 6]]" situation, only for Taylor to correct him about how the DEFCON scale really works.
* IncitingIncident: He's the one who brings Axe's insider trading into Rhoades' attention. Chuck initially refuses to take action because he doesn't want to mess with a Bobby who is like "Tyson in his prime."
* {{Irony}}: As an SEC representative, Ari was the person who originally put Bobby on Chuck's radar and set the whole premise of the series into motion. By the start of the third season, he has left the SEC and become one of Bobby's advisors after his indictment.
* {{Jerkass}}: A colossal stuck up, ridiculous asshole.
* KarmaHoudini: Sure, Chuck manages to get the better of him, eventually. But Spyros just moves over to Axe Cap, where, ironically, Chuck can't do much to him.
** Subverted in "All the Wilburys." Bobby fires Ari for backstabbing Wendy, but Dollar Bill gets Ari his job back when he finds a useful moneymaking scheme.
* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Triumphantly announces himself to Axe Cap: "The Answer Man is here!" Cue eye-rolls from the actual smart people in the room.
** Becomes a B plot in Season 5, when this tendency by Spyros (including wearing a fake Mensa lapel pin) tanks Axe's meeting with the SEC chairwoman. Spyros becomes determined to show off his intellect by taking Mensa's online questionnaire so that he can join for real. Mafee rigs the questionnaire so that Spyros passes (knowing that he would spitefully flag Axe Cap's trades if he flunked) but immediately regrets it when Spyros rubs his apparent triumph in everyone's faces.
* MustHaveCaffeine: If there is one characteristic Spyros has besides his douchiness, it's his love of exotic coffee.
* TheRival: Hates Dollar Bill and everything he stands for, but must work with him after being ordered to by Bobby. After Ari gloats over Bill's forced-apology, Bill rams his car into Ari's prized Porsche. Subverted in that Dollar Bill helps get Ari his job back after Bobby fires him, but he makes it clear that it's a one-time deal.
* SmartBall: Despite his asinine obnoxiousness, he can come up with an useable idea every now and then.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Hoping to help out Axe and impress him, he tells the NSA about the trade Wendy made during the Ice Juice ICO, giving Connerty what he needs to go after Chuck and Wendy.

* NiceGuy: Along with Mafee, he's the only one of the top traders who considers the ethics of some of the fund's moves. He is also one of the few people who isn't celebrating Heidecker's death.
* TookALevelInBadass: After two and a half seasons as a doormat, he finally grows a spine when Dollar Bill tries to bully him.

* IllBoy: Contracts terminal cancer and quickly succumbs to it.
* NiceGuy: One of the few genuine ones in Axe Cap, and a big reason why everyone in the firm loves him.
* StraightGay: No one would have pegged him for gay, until his husband shows up.
* TagalongKid: On paper, not a great fit at Axe Cap: too little machismo and too much conscience. But the entire firm loves him and is distraught when he dies. Even Rhoades shows up to his funeral.

* IgnoredEpiphany: Left Axe Cap because of moral qualms over the Sandicot debacle, only to come back over a season later.
* PutOnABus: Quit Axe Capital over the Sandicot issue in Season 2 and wasn't seen again until Season 4.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Is introduced near the end of Season 3 without much characterization beyond being TheLadette on the Axe Cap trading floor. During Season 4 she evolves into Wendy's female confidante at Axe Capital, and someone who is both mentally and physically formidable for her size.
* LustObject: Has a history of being hit on or pursued by men, which she is not comfortable with. Spyros in particular has a creepy infatuation with her. [[spoiler:Which makes it all the more surprising when she reciprocates Dollar Bill's advances and starts an affair with him.]]

[[caption-width-right:300:...]]
Bobby's Chief of Staff in season two, brought in as part of Bobby's obsession with tightening security and transparency.
* BewareTheHonestOnes: Has no qualms about telling Bobby precisely what she thinks of his decisions, and reminding him of past boneheaded decisions.
* BlackBossLady: To the employees at Axe Capital, as Bobby's new chief of staff.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Bobby treats her terribly, causing her to have no qualms becoming a witness for the Southern District.
* MookFaceTurn: Bobby's firing of her causes her to turn state's witness against Axe Capital, and point the finger straight at Taylor for the current illegal goings-on.
* OnlySaneEmployee: Steph frequently mediates between the volatile traders and Bobby.
* PutOnABus: Gets fired and leaves Axe Capital, with only a single fleeting appearance thereafter.
* SexySecretary: Only a secretary in the sense that she functions as a legal check on Bobby doing any more insider trading and therefore must attend and take notes at every meeting.
* ShootTheShaggyDog: All the possibilities for her helping Bobby go legit go out the window when he fires her, saying [[ThenLetMeBeEvil he's a Terminator and he needs Wags, not her]].

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hall.jpg]]
-->''"You don't have to outswim the shark. You just have to outswim the guy you're scuba diving with."''
Bobby's "fixer". You listen to him, or you go down in flames.
* BeardOfSorrow: Grows one while he hides out in Nova Scotia. He gets rid of it when he returns to Bobby's service.
* NoodleIncident: Whatever went down with him and Bobby in Reykjavik, it affected all of their dealings afterward. Bobby trusts him implicitly, and has Hall's number in his phone listed as "Iceland".
* {{Fetish}}: Hall is seen taking a phone call at a sauna while a dwarf woman with a riding crop waits for him to follow her somewhere. It's stated that not even Wags can stomach to guess what Hall does in his off-hours.
--> '''Hall:''' "What gets me off would disturb you on such a deep level, you'd be best served never to think about it again."
* OnlyOneName: "Hall" is the only name we have for him. Bobby seems to address him as "Neil" in the Season 3 finale.
* PutOnABus: Quickly makes himself scarce when the Ice Juice scandal breaks at the end of season 2. He is not seen for the first half of Season 3 and Bobby takes on two new fixers dubbed "the new Halls". However, TheBusCameBack in "Not You, Mr. Dake" to help Bobby beat Connerty's charges against Wendy and sabotage his case.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In the season two finale, Hall disappears without a trace, apparently reading the writing on the wall in regards to the Ice Juice scandal, the U.S. Attorney's office heading for Axe Capital, and Bobby's impending arrest.
* TheSpook: We initially know nothing about his background, personal life, qualifications - just that he's Bobby's "fixer" and that he has pull in every corner of the globe. It's strongly implied he was on Langley's payroll in the past.
* WorfEffect: To a degree. Hall is such an intimidating figure that Wags, Wendy and Boyd are all wary of him. But when Andolov backhands him with no repercussions, it shows who the ''real'' badass is between them.

[[folder:The New Halls]]
!! The New Halls
-->'''Played by:''' Creator/TomLipinski & Creator/BrianWiles
Axe's anonymous new fixers and counter-intel experts, derisively dubbed "the new Halls" by Wags. Younger, sleeker, and higher-tech than their predecessor.
* AmbiguouslyGay: They're joined at the hip and seem to share a very close relationship, but it hasn't been explicitly shown that they're a couple. It's rather telling that they introduce each other rather than themselves when first establishing their bona fides.
* ContinuityNod: As Hall was "Iceland" in Bobby's phone contacts, the new Halls are dubbed "Greenland".
* DeadpanSnarker: Wags tries to bully and intimidate the New Halls. They are unimpressed.
--> '''Wags:''' Why should I trust you to do anything other than point me to the nearest avocado toast?
--> '''New Hall no. 1:''' Smashed spring pea toast is the new avocado toast.
* GeniusBruiser: They're both highly intelligent and combat-trained spies for hire.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: They're also referred to as "the Winkelvii", due to their physical resemblance to the Winklevoss twins.
* TheSpock: They're not even [[RedOniBlueOni Red Oni, Blue Oni]]; it's more like Blue Oni, Bluer Oni.

->'''Played By:''' Creator/KellyAuCoin
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/billions_309_1998r_1_8.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''"I'm Keyser Soze, motherfucker."'']]
-->''"...I am not uncertain."''
Stern is a trader at Axe Capital, and one of the guys who have been with Bobby the longest. His loyalty is beyond question.
* BaldOfAwesome / BaldOfEvil: More like thinning but it's doable.
* BerserkButton: He will move heaven and earth to find the person responsible for stealing his lucky dollar.
* CrimeAfterCrime: When his Chicken Man insider trading scheme backfires, he has a VillainousBSOD and decides to escalate all the way to [[spoiler: bio-terrorism by infecting a chicken farm with bird flu]].
* EvilIsPetty: In "Flaw in the Death Star" he plumbs the very depths of pettiness, stealing a newspaper from a vending machine and then destroying Spyros's car because Spyros inconvenienced him.
* {{Flanderization}}: Zig-zagged. In season 1, Bill is just your basic amoral trader. By season 3, he descends briefly into self-parody (see EvilIsPetty above) before forming a [[PragmaticVillainy pragmatic alliance]] with Spyros in order to make more money.
* HiddenDepths: Seeming at first like the epitome of the ruthless, macho, double-dealing lifestyle of their firm, with nothing more than his (very well-compensated) loyalty to Axe as a redeeming feature, his changing conduct towards Taylor in Season 2 shows there is more to him than that.
* LargeHam: Not one for subtlety or a plain tone. As seen in the right image, "over the top" is his default state.
* ManipulativeBastard: His out-gambitting of Chuck Rhoades: "I'm Keyser Soze, motherfucker."
* PaperTiger: Bill loves to yell and scream and bluster, but it's mostly noise.
** Has a tantrum when Axe gives the second Alpha Cup seat to Taylor, but Axe shuts him down fast.
--> '''Bill:''' That's ''my fucking seat!''
--> '''Axe:''' I paid for it; it's ''my'' fucking seat. I can give it to whoever the fuck I want!
** In "Icebreaker" (s03e09), gets shown up by ''three'' lower-ranking employees at different times. Only one pays for it, and that one is punished by Wags, not Bill.
** In "Fight Night" (s04e08), getting his ass handed to him by Bonnie (who is half his size) during an impromptu training session turns him into a weeping, blubbering mess. [[spoiler:His big boxing match with Mafee ends in an underwhelming draw]].
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: At the start of Season 2, he very nearly calls Taylor a freak for identifying as non-binary, and only a sharp look from Axe stops him. To give him his due, once Taylor proves to be a major asset to the company, he shows genuine respect and loyalty.
* PetTheDog: Despite his earlier contempt towards Taylor, once they have shown their worth to the company and proven willing to engage in the cut-throat aspects of the Wall Street lifestyle, he treats them as a valued colleague, gives them a large off-the-books cash sum and some completely sincere advice about how it's always a good idea to have cash hidden away in case all hell breaks loose. At the end of the season when Taylor is made [=CIO=] instead of him, he accepts it as a good call and asks them what he can do to help.
* {{Pride}}: Takes great pride in being "not uncertain" and has an ego the size of the Moon. Hurting either will cause him to go overboard. Being forced to publicly apologize to Spyros causes him to wreck Spyros' Porsche. Finding himself unable to rig the chicken pricing scheme causes him to [[spoiler:steal an [=H1N1=]-infected chicken and attempt to plant it in a chicken farm, which would have caused a serious health crisis if Bobby and Wags hadn't stopped him in time]].
* TheRival: In "Flaw in the Death Star", he and Ari Spyros' mutual dislike spills into genuine hatred, with Bill eventually ramming his car into Spyros' prized Porsche.
* TheScrooge: His nickname comes from the fact he's a tightwad despite being a multi-millionaire hedge fund analyst.
** His frugality begins to make more sense with the post-arrest revelation that he's supporting two families.
* StupidCrooks: Usually averted, as his schemes are well thought-out and tend to insulate him and Axe Capital from the main criminal activity. However, when the Chicken Man scheme backfires, he has a VillainousBSOD and in desperation attempts to [[spoiler:infect a chicken farm with bird flu]]. He does the deed personally and seems unconcerned about fingerprints and security cameras. He also seems completely oblivious to the fact he is engaging in [[spoiler:bio-terrorism]] and could kill people.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Axe. In Bill's words "they fuck you, they fuck me!".
* VillainousBSOD: Has one after [[spoiler:he fails to rig the chicken pricing scheme in Arkansas.]]
--> '''Bill:''' I'm the guy who ''DELIVERS!''

-->''"You do your three or five or ten years here, then you flip to our side, cash seven figures from the same big funds you're trying to bring down."''
Bach is the in-house lawyer for Axe Capital, and used to teach law at NYU.
* AmoralAttorney: As Bobby's attorney, he advises Bobby on how to deal with Chuck's investigation and is often privy to his client's schemes to dodge scrutiny.
* AffablyEvil: Maybe not "evil"...at least compared to people like Hall. But he is probably the most level-headed person on Axe's team, and remains cordial with his former student Bryan Connerty even though they are on opposite sides of the Axe-Rhoades feud.
* FaceHeelTurn: He taught Connerty that a lawyer's calling was about serving the spirit of the law beyond mere recompense, but one day he sold out and started playing for the defence and [[EvilPaysBetter its seven figures per year]].
* HonestAdvisor: Is this to Bobby.
* TheMentor: Interestingly enough, to Connerty, who was his law student.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Does not waver from his support of Bobby, through investigations and allegations and all the might of the U.S. Attorney's office gunning for him. His loyalty is to Bobby and Bobby alone, even when Lara tries to bribe him and consult him for divorce advice. He turns her down flat, reminding her Bobby pays him well enough that she'd have to triple the bribe just to get his attention.

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s3e884.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''"The Answer Man is here!"'']]
SEC official who is a thorn in Chuck's side at the Attorney General's office. He later becomes the compliance officer at Axe Capital.
* BrickJoke: In season 2, he bullies Chuck with the Cortado Gambit (see [[EvilIsPetty Evil Is Petty]] below). In his first appearance in season 3, he swaggers into Axe's office holding... a cortado.
* CoolCar: Owns a sleek red Porsche convertible. Which Dollar Bill [[ThePreciousPreciousCar totals]].
* EvilIsPetty: Makes Chuck send his secretary out for a cortado, then refuses to drink it.
* FaceHeelTurn: From the Securities and Exchange Commission to Axe Capital, a major rules violator. He tries to present his role there as responsible of compliance as enforcing good practice, with little success.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Ari gets on the nerves of everyone in Chuck's office by butting into their investigations, and is especially loathed by Chuck after he finds out that Ari [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil raped a classmate in college]]. When Ari leaves the SEC for Axe Capital, his new co-workers also regard him with disdain.
* GloryHound: This is really what all his [[{{Jerkass}} Jerkassery]] is about.
* IgnorantOfTheirOwnIgnorance:
** "This is a case of what I like to call... The Prisoner's Dilemma." Chuck immediately snaps and retorts that's just how it's called.
** Bursts into Axe's office warning of a "[[DefconFive DEFCON 6]]" situation, only for Taylor to correct him about how the DEFCON scale really works.
* IncitingIncident: He's the one who brings Axe's insider trading into Rhoades' attention. Chuck initially refuses to take action because he doesn't want to mess with a Bobby who is like "Tyson in his prime."
* {{Irony}}: As an SEC representative, Ari was the person who originally put Bobby on Chuck's radar and set the whole premise of the series into motion. By the start of the third season, he has left the SEC and become one of Bobby's advisors after his indictment.
* {{Jerkass}}: A colossal stuck up, ridiculous asshole.
* KarmaHoudini: Sure, Chuck manages to get the better of him, eventually. But Spyros just moves over to Axe Cap, where, ironically, Chuck can't do much to him.
** Subverted in "All the Wilburys." Bobby fires Ari for backstabbing Wendy, but Dollar Bill gets Ari his job back when he finds a useful moneymaking scheme.
* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Triumphantly announces himself to Axe Cap: "The Answer Man is here!" Cue eye-rolls from the actual smart people in the room.
** Becomes a B plot in Season 5, when this tendency by Spyros (including wearing a fake Mensa lapel pin) tanks Axe's meeting with the SEC chairwoman. Spyros becomes determined to show off his intellect by taking Mensa's online questionnaire so that he can join for real. Mafee rigs the questionnaire so that Spyros passes (knowing that he would spitefully flag Axe Cap's trades if he flunked) but immediately regrets it when Spyros rubs his apparent triumph in everyone's faces.
* MustHaveCaffeine: If there is one characteristic Spyros has besides his douchiness, it's his love of exotic coffee.
* TheRival: Hates Dollar Bill and everything he stands for, but must work with him after being ordered to by Bobby. After Ari gloats over Bill's forced-apology, Bill rams his car into Ari's prized Porsche. Subverted in that Dollar Bill helps get Ari his job back after Bobby fires him, but he makes it clear that it's a one-time deal.
* SmartBall: Despite his asinine obnoxiousness, he can come up with an useable idea every now and then.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Hoping to help out Axe and impress him, he tells the NSA about the trade Wendy made during the Ice Juice ICO, giving Connerty what he needs to go after Chuck and Wendy.

* NiceGuy: Along with Mafee, he's the only one of the top traders who considers the ethics of some of the fund's moves. He is also one of the few people who isn't celebrating Heidecker's death.
* TookALevelInBadass: After two and a half seasons as a doormat, he finally grows a spine when Dollar Bill tries to bully him.

* NiceGuy: One of the few genuine ones in Axe Cap, and a big reason why everyone in the firm loves him.
* StraightGay: No one would have pegged him for gay, until his husband shows up.
* TagalongKid: On paper, not a great fit at Axe Cap: too little machismo and too much conscience. But the entire firm loves him and is distraught when he dies. Even Rhoades shows up to his funeral.

* IgnoredEpiphany: Left Axe Cap because of moral qualms over the Sandicot debacle, only to come back over a season later.
* PutOnABus: Quit Axe Capital over the Sandicot issue in Season 2 and wasn't seen again until Season 4.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Is introduced near the end of Season 3 without much characterization beyond being TheLadette on the Axe Cap trading floor. During Season 4 she evolves into Wendy's female confidante at Axe Capital, and someone who is both mentally and physically formidable for her size.
* LustObject: Has a history of being hit on or pursued by men, which she is not comfortable with. Spyros in particular has a creepy infatuation with her. [[spoiler:Which makes it all the more surprising when she reciprocates Dollar Bill's advances and starts an affair with him.]]
* TeamMom: While Wendy is TheShrink at Axe Capital, Bonnie is this for the traders. It is Bonnie who organizes a labor action amongst the traders to protest the Flagship fund, which turns out to be the result of a psy-op by Taylor Mason Capital partly designed to recruit her. Axe recognizes Bonnie's qualities and, to keep her at Axe Cap, includes her in the fund.
