* BigBad: [[spoiler:Zig-Zagged. While the werewolves are the threat at large, he is the one who lured Sarge's team in hopes to lure werewolves in the first place, setting the plot in motion. It helps that he became bitten in the initial attack and becomes a werewolf himself and the FinalBoss.]]

* HateSink: He's not partricularly friendly or grateful to the squad when they rescue him, and from there he only continues pushing their buttons and making Joe want to cut his throat, but it reaches a climax when [[spoiler:the squad discover he used them as bait for the werewolves when he assigned them to their training exercise]].

* MotiveRant: {{Downplayed}}. When pressed and all but interrogated by Cooper and Sarge for an explanation, Ryan explains what he and his team were doing in the glen trying to catch a werewolf,and where the squad themselves came into their plan, though it takes a lot of talking and a physical death-threat from Cooper to push each section of Ryan's explanation along.

* SmugSnake: He executed the [[spoiler:operation to attempt capturing a werewolf for the Special Weapons Division]], but didn't account for there being more than one werewolf. He's also very smug and {{jerkass}}.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Not that far off from being a BlackComedy case of HypocriticalHumor. He initially orders one of his men to not go being a hero, then a few minutes later when he's pinned by a werewolf slashing open his belly, he screams at Cooper to leave him and get out of here. {{Lampshaded}} by Cooper:

* DangerTakesABackseat: [[spoiler:How the poor bastard [[IncrediblyLamePun meats]] his end. At least he fights it like a man.]]

* DyingAsYourself: Invoked. [[spoiler: Chooses to sacrifice himself before he succumbs to the werewolf transformation]]/

* FatalFamilyPhoto: The picture of his wife Annie. [[spoiler: Looks at it before he dies]]

* KryptoniteFactor: [[spoiler:Silver, as to be expected. Not only is it fatal, it removes their HealingFactor.]]

* ImplacableMan: It turns out to be {{justified|Trope}} [[spoiler:when it's revealed the house the soldiers have holed up in is the werewolves' home in their human forms, making the soldiers invaders in their territory. Sergenat Wells lampshades this]].

* CombatMedic: Cooper appears to be squad medic and knows he's way around an open body. He's the one that patches up Sarge.

* BraveScot: Cooper is Scottish or Northern English and is TheLeader of the team. He's the only one who doesn't freak out, and keeps a cool head consistently through the whole duration of the plot.

* TheCutie: Friendly, mild-mannered border collie.

* ImplacableMan: It turns out to be {{justified}} [[spoiler:when it's revealed the house the soldiers have holed up in is the werewolves' home in their human forms, making the soldiers invaders in their territory. Sergenat Wells lampshades this]].
