History Characters / GleeOtherMajorCharacters

* TookALevelInJerkass: In "Funk", although to some extent you can tell he regretted it. It goes UpToEleven after he begins advising the club in "Funeral", and is a dick to pretty much everybody except for Rachel.

* PartingWordsRegret: Bert bursts into tears while describing the last time he saw Finn. Finn was really upset about failing a test at collage and instead of hugging him and telling him it was going to be okay, Bert padded him on the back and told him to keep trying.

* TheBusCameBack: For "Glee, Actually", though that was only a dream sequence.

* AbsenteeActor: Jessalyn Gilsig remained a series regular despite appearing in only 5 episodes after her and Will's divorce, and then only 4 episodes of Season 2.

* ActorRoleConfusion: Poor Grant Gustin actually got death threats from [[FanDumb Klainers]] because his character was trying to break up [[OfficialCouple Kurt and Blaine]] so he could have Blaine to himself. This seems to have died down since Gustin became [[Series/TheFlash2014 The Flash]].

* ActorRoleConfusion: Poor Grant Gustin actually got death threats from [[FanDumb Klainers]] because his character was trying to break up [[OfficialCouple Kurt and Blaine]] so he could have Blaine to himself.

* IHatePastMe: It's implied and latter stated outright that his overly supportive/PapaWolf moments are at least partly motivated at the shame he feels for bullying gay kids when he was in school. In "The Quarterback", he admits that his infamous berating of Finn in "Theatricality" was more about himself then it was Finn.

* PartingWordsRegret: Bert bursts into tears while describing the last time he saw Finn. Finn was really upset about failing a test a collage and instead of hugging him and telling him it was going to be okay, Bert padded him on the back and told him to keep trying.

* OpenMindedParent: He supports his son's interests and activities even without fully understanding them. So much so that when he catches his son making out with a girl, he recommends protection if things get to that point. Though given the flimsy attempt by Kurt to pretend to be straight, one can guess he's mostly just humouring his son's soul searching.

* {{Meganekko}}

--> '''Sue''': Why would someone assume I'm a friend of [[Creator/EllenDeGeneres Ellen]]? Just because I'm mannish, and highly aggressive, and have short hair, and I only wear tracksuits, and I coach a girls' sport, and I married myself... It just doesn't make sense!

* DeadpanSnarker: One of the biggest one of the show, along Santana.

* DependingOnTheWriter: Can vary from JerkWithAHeartOfGold to out and out JerkAss, depending on what episode it is.

--> '''Sue:''' My first order of business: ''destroy Glee Club''.
--> '''Will:''' I thought we were friends?
--> '''Sue:''' Yeah, that got boring.

* {{Jerkass}}: Sue is a real ass to everyone, except people with disabilities. During season one, every time she is hit with LaserGuidedKarma she ultimately ends up benefiting from it. She has no qualms about doing unforgivable and illegal things as long as it serves her interests.

-->'''Blaine''': ...Sebastian, of course it was you [that stole the Nationals' Trophy].
-->'''Sebastian''': No it wasn't. I swear. I turned over a new leaf, remember? No more bullying, blackmail, or salt this year.
-->'''Blaine''': That must be boring for you.
-->'''Sebastian''': ({{Beat}}) Yeah, it is. Being nice sucks.

* AbortedArc: Season 4 revealed that he had cancer. However, it was never mentioned after said season, likely due to Finn's death.

* AttentionWhore: Sue wants all the school's attention to be on ''her''.

* {{Hunk}}: Adam is muscular, though on the lean, slender side, and attractive.

-> '''Portrayed by:''' Lauren Potter

-> '''Portrayed by:''' Nolan Gerard Funk

-> '''Portrayed by:''' John Stamos

-> '''Portrayed by:''' Oliver Kieran-Jones

-> '''Portrayed by:''' Dean Geyer

* PutOnABus: Gets sent out of the picture as soon as Kurt and Blaine get back together. Somehow justified as he graduates shortly after.

* BigBrotherMentor: Plays the role at first for Kurt, introducing him to NYADA, guiding him around and imparting tips. But he quickly becomes one of his LoveInterests instead.
* ChildOfTwoWorlds: His actor states that being both British and American, he has trouble fitting in in both countries.

* {{Hunk}}: Adam is muscular, though not overtly so, and attractive.

* SlutShaming: Him being a prostitute is portrayed as an unforgivable flaw, despite him disliking it.

* LoveAtFirstNote: Adam explains that he first saw Kurt when he owned the song "[[Awesome music Being Alive]]" from ''Theatre/{{Company}}'' and was instantly smitten.

An upperclassman of British origins, who leads the Adam's Apples, the fun-focused Glee Club in NYADA, earning little respect in sucha competitive college. He quickly befriends Kurt and becomes his second boyfriend, after his (temporary) break-up with Blaine.

* AbortedArc: Save for a couple of [[EyeScream rather dangerous]] pranks, Sebastian arguably doesn't get that much more threatening than when he first appears. The build-up to full-blown antagonist is slow and steady through the first half of Season 3, but his development and story arc is somehow [[HandWave brought to a complete stop and instantly resolved]] in "On My Way," in which Karofsky's suicide attempt pushes him to become 'good,' effectively ending the threat he poses to the others. While this can be considered a 'complete' character development arc, the nature in which he is built up makes it seem like the writers were planning bigger things for him, but very suddenly decided against it. He then gets [[DemotedtoDragon demoted]] to a rather harmless background character in the fourth season in favor of new Warbler Captain Hunter Clarington]].

* AlternateSelf: According to the multiverse theory, is the [[TheFlash2014 Fastest Man Alive]].

-->'''Sebastian''': (beat) Yeah, it is. Being nice sucks.

* HeelRealization: He acts as if he was a player who always win and the others being eithers props to use, prizes to win, or obstacles to take down. But as he admitted, it's all fun and games until someone tries to commit suicide. Such a reality check knocks him down quite a number of pegs.

* SerialHomewrecker: Downplayed for we only see him try to break one couple, but how casually he treats it hints that he might have done it before. Anyways, he is dead-set on bedding Blaine, knowing full well and not caring the slightest that his target relationship might get wrecked.

* AffablyEvil: Subverted. He tries very much to present himself as this, but he is far too arrogant and unpleasant for it to work.

* CheatersNeverProsper: His win is imediately revoked after his steroid abuse is revealed, and being legally of age, he is brought to justice for it.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Sure Hunter, wreck an entire coffee shop just because some overworked barista mistook your order. Very mature pal, very much not.

* HairTriggerTemper: He cultivates a smooth, collected image, but in truth he has a '''very''' short fuse, and more than a few anger-management problems. See BerserkButton and DisproportionateRetribution.

* VillainousBreakdown: Flies into violent, exceedingly disproportionate rages as soon as his BerserkButton is pressed, which means often.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Starts giving one to Rachel in "Glease" over the phone. Rachel [[ShutUpHannibal hangs up.]]
--> "Auditioning for an off-Broadway play, throwing yourself at an upper classman, and telling me that I need to get back in the game? I need to get back in the game?! I think you were over reaching and needed a little bit of a reminder. I am the game, Schwimmer. And you are what you've always been. A privileged, self-indulgent, dime a...

* AllThereInTheManual: Not validated by WordOfGod, but the actor has pictured him quite a backstory, as the son of a American man and an Englishwoman, who divorced and live each in their country. As such has a hard time to fit in, but can see people's potential and encourages people to enjoy life.

* CoolLoser: While talented, handsome and charming, he and his Glee Club are looked down upon by all due to their focus on fun. [[UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist Rachel]] has the gal to call joining his club "social suicide" [[AesopAmnesia despite owing it all to another glee club dismissed as exactly this]].
* ForHappiness: Adam insists that enjoying what you do and generally having a good time. Earning a living through your passion is well and good, but keep in mind why it is your passion to begin with.

* LoveAtFirstNote: Adam explains that he first saw Kurt when he owned the song "Being Alive" from ''Theatre/{{Company}}'' and was instantly smitten.
* PutOnABus: Gets sent out of the picture as soon as Kurt and Blaine get back together.
* RomanticFalseLead: Adam develops a crush for Kurt pretty much at first sight. They ''do'' get together, but it was only a matter of time before Kurt got back together with Blaine. Heck, they even hook up before Adam has any chance of becoming a real boyfriend to Kurt.

* WomanScorned: A downplayed gender-reversed example. The last we hear of Adam, we learn that he kicked Kurt out of his glee club after he and Blaine got engaged. And given that he was pretty much a rebound unceremoniously dumped, he has more than earned a few petty points.

* HomeNudist: Frequently walks around the flat stark naked, without a care in the world.

** HighClassCallGirl: The male variation. He seemingly seeks client who can afford.
* ModestyTowel: His only clothing when we first see him. Could happen to an uglier fellow.

* RomanticFalseLead: Rachel does gets with him, but not for long, heavens forbid.
* RomanticRunnerUp: He'd make an excellent boyfriend to anyone (until we discover that he sell himself that is), but Rachel running back to Finn was a ForegoneConclusion before he entered the picture. It is telling that even after Cory Monteith's tragic passing, Rachel did not end up with him.

* RomanticFalseLead: After Brody and Adam, she makes the RuleOfThree in the "hot new LoveInterests met in New York who can't hold a candle to the HighSchoolSweethearts scenario.
* RomanticRunnerUp: Like Brody and Adam, there is nothing wrong with her but the FanPreferredCouple cannot stay apart for long...

* BigBad: Originally the main antagonist of the series.

* ComedicSociopathy

%% * DrillSergeantNasty

* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Sue is basically this, depending of the circumstances.

%% * IceQueen
%% * InstantWebHit: Sue's "Physical" music video in Bad Reputation.

%% * ItsAllAboutMe

%% * LonelyAtTheTop: Flat-out stated in "Funk"
%% * LoveRedeems: StatusQuoIsGod But only for an episode.

%% * MommyIssues: Explored in "Furt".
%% * MoralityPet: Her little sister and Becky. Also, Kurt to a degree.

** In “Funk” they really tease the hell out of the Sue and Will ship.

* StealthInsult: Sue, being Sue, manages to sneak one to Will in her rendition of Vogue on “The Power Of Madonna.”

%%* TeamMom: Gradually grows into (an albeit begrudging) one of these for New Directions.

* TerrifiedOfGerms

* OnlySaneEmployee:

* SchoolNurse: Temporarily in “Vitamin D”.

[[caption-width-right:350:In case you were wondering, which you were, I'm straight.]]
-> '''Portrayed by:''' Dean Geyer

One of Rachel's classmates at NYADA, as well as a potential love interest.

** HighClassCallGirl
* ModestyTowel: His only clothing when we first see him.
* MrFanservice
* NiceGuy

* SatelliteCharacter: To Rachel.
* SatelliteLoveInterest
* TallDarkAndHandsome

* DarkSkinnedBlonde

* GenderBlenderName: Santana lampshades it, trying to crack a joke about her parents knowing she'd be a lesbian and giving her a boyish name.
* LipstickLesbian
* NoLastNameGiven

* SpecialGuest

A boy who goes to NYU and joins Kurt's band. A theatre kid who is very flamboyant and outgoing, and not afraid to hide his talent. "Starchild" is his stage name, but he goes by Elliot in casual situations.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Kurt initially feels seriously threatened by him.

* TheRival: Temporarily for Kurt, though it's more of Kurt being his UnknownRival because of being scared he won't be able to out-shine Elliot.
* SpecialGuest

* OnlySaneEmployee

* AffablyEvil: Sebastian definitely acted this way, particularly when he told Kurt right to his face that he was going to try to seduce Blaine away from him.
* AllGaysArePromiscuous

* AmbitionIsEvil

* DepravedHomosexual: Although unusual in that his target is also gay, otherwise a much straighter-playing of the trope than Karofsky.

* FauxAffablyEvil: He tells Kurt that he's going to steal Blaine away from him right to his face, is eager to use information Blaine accidentally discloses to the Warblers' advantage, openly states he's tired of playing nice against the New Directions, and attempts to blind Kurt with a rock salt laced slushie, though Blaine [[TakingtheBullet took the bullet]] for him. Sebastian does all of this with a smirk on his face.
* HeelRealization: As he admitted, it's all fun and games until someone tries to commit suicide.

* ReallyGetsAround

* TheRival: PlayedForLaughs, but just see the interaction between Sebastian and Artie in “Michael”, especially in Bad and later in Black And White. It reeks of two rival gang leaders trying to best each other.

* SmugSmiler

* StraightGay

* VillainousCrush: On Blaine.

* AffablyEvil

** Interestingly enough, he didn't explicitly say he was straight, only that he's [[ExactWords "not even remotely bi-curious"]]. This could imply that he's either entirely straight or entirely gay. Was never found out either way.
* {{Expy}}: Of Sebastian, though he's "not even remotely bi-curious."

* TallDarkAndHandsome

-> '''Portrayed by:''' Iqbal Theba

* ArchEnemy: Sue wants all the school's attention to be on ''her''. And apparently part of her hate-on for Will is that she hates men with curly hair. This is ''Sue'' though, so take that with a rather large grain of salt.

* CassandraTruth: No one in New Directions listens to his criticisms during Season 2, choosing to believe that their PowerOfFriendship approach will garner them the win. Surprise surprise, [[RealityEnsues National Show Choir Championships don't work like that, and they finish in twelfth place]].

* RealityEnsues:
** He flunked out of UCLA when he didn't realize he would actually have to study and make the grades.
** Jesse expects his ex-girlfriend to forgive him for the egging incident and get back together with him if he lavished enough singing praise on her. It's not the same as an apology, let alone making up for his betrayal. While Rachel is tempted, she has enough common sense to say "no" because she remembers the eggs.

* {{Transgender}}: He comes out as a trans man to Sam and Sue in "Jagged Little Tapestry", and tells them that he'll need time off in order to undergo his transition.

* UnsettlingGenderReveal: He didn't realize that Unique was, in fact, genetically a boy.

* CelebrityParadox: Rachel and Brody previously covered "Give Your Heart A Break", Demi Lovato's biggest hit. [[http://www.avclub.com/articles/tina-in-the-sky-with-diamonds,103590/ One review]] jokingly speculated that Dani actually "is Demi Lovato in one of those [[{{WesternAnimation/Aladdin}} Princess Jasmine]] scenarios where she’s trying to find someone who loves her for her." Other songs of hers would later be covered.

* ThoseTwoBadGuys: With Azimio.

** This is what led to her temporary suspension in “Sectionals” after the leaked setlists with her letterhead and handwriting were delivered to Figgins’s hands.

** She gets Quinn, Santana, and Britanny to join the club as [[TheMole moles]]. Finding that they enjoy being around people who support and care about them, they decide to stay. Sue has a pretty poor track record with her [[EvilPlan evil plans]], doesn't she?

** Delivers probably her most ''spectacular'' one yet to Will in season 6, pointing out just how a self-centered, hypocrite and creepy guy he has been in many occasions, denouncing his blatant favoritism of some kids over the others, the fact that he never thanked the band who has always been there to help him and the Glee club (truth is, he doesn't even know the names of the musicians), and the fact that he was a mediocre language teacher (who accepted not one but ''two'' "teacher of the year" award despite not speaking a single word of spanish!).

The school's obsessive-compuslive germophobic guidance counselor. Is in love with Will but got engaged to the football coach, Ken, because he was still married to Terri at the time. They began going out after he left her.

[[caption-width-right:224:Do not get up in The Panther's business, lady. You're all coffee and no omelette.]]

* AllThereInTheManual: After the events of the GrandFinale, Sheldon became a coach for the Cleaveland Browns.

* BadassBoast: YMMV on this, but he and the rest of Vocal Adrenaline singing “Another One Bites The Dust” personally to the members of New Directions just oozes “you’re screwed”. By the reactions of most of the members of New Directions, they seem to achieve the purpose a Badass Boast usually does.
* BastardBoyfriend: Rather, bastard ex-boyfriend. He dumped Rachel while announcing his transfer, and then lured her to a parking lot where Vocal Adrenaline proceeded to egg her and mock her vegan ways. That's basically DomesticAbuse. Jesse doesn't live this down for several seasons, even when he is really sorry and mad at himself.

* CassandraTruth: No one in New Directions listens to his criticisms during Season 2, choosing to believe that their PowerOfFriendship approach will garner them the win. Plus, they still haven't forgiven him for the betrayal. Surprise surprise, [[RealityEnsues National Show Choir Championships don't work like that, and they finish in twelfth place]].

* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Kurt will forever remember him as the guy who "made breakfast" on Rachel's head. It takes a while for Jesse to live that down.
