A group of religious fanatics have divided in several factions, two of whom have different intentions toward the clones.
* AbusiveParents: Not a single decent parent or parental figure among them. From a conversation between [[spoiler: Helena]] and Gracie, it can be inferred that [[MouthStitchedShut sewing their children's lips together]] for disobedience is a standard practice.
* ChurchMilitant: Very much so. In fact, they're the most violent faction so far. Art even refers to them as terrorists.
* {{Cult}}: The whole organization checks off so many boxes.

* EvilVsEvil: Against the Neolutionists.
* {{Foil}}: In a case of "science vs. religion", they're the "religion" to the Neolutionists' "science". However, they're NotSoDifferent in their shared view of the clones as objects to exploit and control rather than real people.
* TheFundamentalist: They're religious extremists.
* KillEmAll: [[spoiler: Maggie]] and Tomas taught [[spoiler: Helena]] that she had a duty to kill all the other clones.
* MedicalRapeAndImpregnate: [[spoiler: A large portion of the Johanssen arc in season 2. Hank extracts Helena's eggs and fertilizes them with his sperm. Them he artificially inseminates Helena and Gracie, with the plan to do so to more women. All the children on his farm were conceived this way albeit with different genetic mothers. It's also likely that they planned to involve Sarah and Kira in this plot.]]

!!Tomas
-->'''Played by''': Daniel Kash

A mysterious fanatic who acts as a pseudo-father figure to [[spoiler: Helena]]. It's implied he took her from the Ukrainian convent where she grew up.
* AbusiveParents: He acts as a parental figure to [[spoiler: Helena]], but he's anything but loving.
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: He's killed by Mark on Hank's orders]].
* BackForTheDead: [[spoiler:Disappears for about three episodes and is then killed after reappearing]].
* BadBoss[=/=]WouldHitAGirl: He's physically abusive to [[spoiler: Helena]]. She's too far under his control to fight back [[spoiler: until he threatens [[{{Protectorate}} Kira]]]].
* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler: In 2.02, he's shot by Mark with a bolt gun]].
* BreakThemByTalking: Because [[spoiler: Helena]] is very capable of kicking his ass, Tomas controls her through verbal and emotional abuse that borders on brainwashing.
* TheCaretaker: Subverted. He nursed [[spoiler: Helena]] back to health after the events of episode 5, but is verbally and emotionally abusive to her. Once she recovers, he starts beating her into obedience.
* TheFundamentalist: At first, he appears to represent the belief system of the Proletheans, since he's the only such character onscreen aside from the less-reliable Helena. The second episode of season 2 reveals he was an aberration, and that other Proletheans are more accepting of science than he was.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: 2.02 reveals that he scars himself in a similar method to Helena's.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:After cruelly locking Helena inside a small cage, Sarah finds her and, rather than kill him outright, decides to imprison him in the very same cage]].
* ItIsDehumanizing: Tomas refers to "The Imposter" (i.e. Sarah) as "it" in his conversation with [[spoiler: Helena]].

[[spoiler:And then [[DoubleSubversion Double Subverted]] when we see that he plans to have Helena impregnated whether she wants it or not, and ''especially'' [[MouthStitchedShut how he treats]] his natural daughter Gracie]].
* AffablyEvil
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: Courtesy of Helena.]]
* BigBad: For [[spoiler: Helena]]'s season two storyline, when he's established as the leader of the Proletheans.
* BullyingADragon: Whether through ignorance of what she's capable of, megalomania, or ideological inability to believe that a woman could be a threat to him, he spends the whole storyline behaving abusively to Helena and to other people in front of her. The sole question for the average viewer is just how long it'll take her to lose her patience and off him.
* {{Cult}}: He's the leader of one.
* EvilGenius: He's a MIT grad with a lab hidden on his compound.
* TheFundamentalist: Played with. He's a Prolethean, but studied at MIT and unlike Tomas, believes "religion without science is blind".
* GroinAttack[=/=]ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler: Helena stabs the embryo-implanting rod, with which he impregnated both Helena and Gracie (and likely many other women), either into his rectum or through his perineum, though thankfully we don't get to see much of it. If that didn't kill him, he probably died after Helena set the entire compound on fire]].
* ItsAllAboutMe[=/=]{{Narcissist}}: Heavily implied, as he believes he's entitled to [[spoiler: impregnate many women with Helena's eggs because she a "scientific impossibility". All of them were fertilized with his sperm because, in his mind, he's the only man worthy of being their father.]]
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler: Impregnating his own daughter with his and Helena's embryos was a ''baaaad'' idea and led to Gracie, Helena, and Mark betraying him, with fatal results.]]

[[/folder]]
!!In General
A group of religious fanatics have divided in several factions, two of whom have different intentions toward the clones.
* AbusiveParents: Not a single decent parent or parental figure among them. From a conversation between [[spoiler: Helena]] and Gracie, it can be inferred that [[MouthStitchedShut sewing their children's lips together]] for disobedience is a standard practice.
* ChurchMilitant: Very much so. In fact, they're the most violent faction so far. Art even refers to them as terrorists.
* {{Cult}}: The whole organization checks off so many boxes.
** BreedingCult: Hank Johanssen's branch specifically [[spoiler: wants to make a population of "miracle" babies, a merger of science and religion, born of Helena's eggs and Hank's sperm using several different women as surrogates. Not even Hank's own daughter is safe from this plot]].
* EvilVsEvil: Against the Neolutionists.
* {{Foil}}: In a case of "science vs. religion", they're the "religion" to the Neolutionists' "science". However, they're NotSoDifferent in their shared view of the clones as objects to exploit and control rather than real people.
* TheFundamentalist: They're religious extremists.
* KillEmAll: [[spoiler: Maggie]] and Tomas taught [[spoiler: Helena]] that she had a duty to kill all the other clones.
* MedicalRapeAndImpregnate: [[spoiler: A large portion of the Johanssen arc in season 2. Hank extracts Helena's eggs and fertilizes them with his sperm. Them he artificially inseminates Helena and Gracie, with the plan to do so to more women. All the children on his farm were conceived this way albeit with different genetic mothers. It's also likely that they planned to involve Sarah and Kira in this plot.]]
* OneTrueFaith: Subverted. There are multiple versions of their doctrine, as Tomas and the Johanssens don't see eye-to-eye on several points.
[[folder: Maggie Chen]]
!!Margaret "Maggie" Chen
A scientist who played a role in the cloning experiment, but saw "the error of her ways" and joined the Proletheans to get rid of the clones.
* KilledToUpholdTheMasquerade
* TheMole: [[spoiler: She infiltrated the Neolutionists, then reported back to the others]].
* ParentalSubstitute: [[spoiler: Along with Tomas, she raised Helena to be a killer and is responsible for making her what she is today.]]
* PosthumousCharacter: She was killed by Beth [[spoiler: to protect the clones]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Tomas]]
!!Tomas
-->'''Played by''': Daniel Kash
-->''"Abominations have no souls."''
A mysterious fanatic who acts as a pseudo-father figure to [[spoiler: Helena]]. It's implied he took her from the Ukrainian convent where she grew up.
* AbusiveParents: He acts as a parental figure to [[spoiler: Helena]], but he's anything but loving.
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: He's killed by Mark on Hank's orders]].
* BackForTheDead: [[spoiler:Disappears for about three episodes and is then killed after reappearing]].
* BadBoss[=/=]WouldHitAGirl: He's physically abusive to [[spoiler: Helena]]. She's too far under his control to fight back [[spoiler: until he threatens [[{{Protectorate}} Kira]]]].
* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler: In 2.02, he's shot by Mark with a bolt gun]].
* BreakThemByTalking: Because [[spoiler: Helena]] is very capable of kicking his ass, Tomas controls her through verbal and emotional abuse that borders on brainwashing.
* TheCaretaker: Subverted. He nursed [[spoiler: Helena]] back to health after the events of episode 5, but is verbally and emotionally abusive to her. Once she recovers, he starts beating her into obedience.
* TheFundamentalist: At first, he appears to represent the belief system of the Proletheans, since he's the only such character onscreen aside from the less-reliable Helena. The second episode of season 2 reveals he was an aberration, and that other Proletheans are more accepting of science than he was.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: 2.02 reveals that he scars himself in a similar method to Helena's.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:After cruelly locking Helena inside a small cage, Sarah finds her and, rather than kill him outright, decides to imprison him in the very same cage]].
* ItIsDehumanizing: Tomas refers to "The Imposter" (i.e. Sarah) as "it" in his conversation with [[spoiler: Helena]].
* KickTheSonOfABitch: In [=S02E02=] [[spoiler:fans probably weren't too disappointed to see him get shot through the head with a bolt gun]]. In the following episode, [[spoiler:Helena]] even says "Good riddance."
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Hank Johanssen]]
!!Henrik "Hank" Johanssen
-->'''Played by''': Peter Outerbridge
-->''"You know, a wise man once said, "science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind"."''
A Prolethean religious leader.
* AbusiveParents: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] when we discover that he treats Helena much better than Tomas did. [[spoiler:And then [[DoubleSubversion Double Subverted]] when we see that he plans to have Helena impregnated whether she wants it or not, and ''especially'' [[MouthStitchedShut how he treats]] his natural daughter Gracie]].
* AffablyEvil
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: Courtesy of Helena.]]
* BigBad: For [[spoiler: Helena]]'s season two storyline, when he's established as the leader of the Proletheans.
* BullyingADragon: Whether through ignorance of what she's capable of, megalomania, or ideological inability to believe that a woman could be a threat to him, he spends the whole storyline behaving abusively to Helena and to other people in front of her. The sole question for the average viewer is just how long it'll take her to lose her patience and off him.
* {{Cult}}: He's the leader of one.
* EvilGenius: He's a MIT grad with a lab hidden on his compound.
* TheFundamentalist: Played with. He's a Prolethean, but studied at MIT and unlike Tomas, believes "religion without science is blind".
* GroinAttack[=/=]ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler: Helena stabs the embryo-implanting rod, with which he impregnated both Helena and Gracie (and likely many other women), either into his rectum or through his perineum, though thankfully we don't get to see much of it. If that didn't kill him, he probably died after Helena set the entire compound on fire]].
* ItsAllAboutMe[=/=]{{Narcissist}}: Heavily implied, as he believes he's entitled to [[spoiler: impregnate many women with Helena's eggs because she a "scientific impossibility". All of them were fertilized with his sperm because, in his mind, he's the only man worthy of being their father.]]
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler: Impregnating his own daughter with his and Helena's embryos was a ''baaaad'' idea and led to Gracie, Helena, and Mark betraying him, with fatal results.]]
* OldManMarryingAChild: He marries [[spoiler: Helena]] against her will. This is despite his already being married to Bonnie, who appears closer to his age.

-->''"She's a miracle, I'm told."''

* TheResenter: And for good reason too. [[spoiler: Gracie's father inseminated her with children made from his sperm rather than let her and Mark have children of their own]].
* ShellShockedVeteran: He joined the military at 19 but later went AWOL. His experiences still give him nightmares.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Yes, he kicked off Season 2 by [[spoiler: killing a BadassBystander trying to protect Sarah]], but he is VERY important to the plot in that [[spoiler: Mark is one of the clones of [[TheReveal Project CASTOR]]]].
* StepfordSmiler: He tries to act like everything's okay when [[spoiler: Hank informs him that he plans to make Gracie a surrogate for Helena's children]], but it doesn't last long.

* WellDoneSonGuy: Towards Hank, who "loves him like a son." [[spoiler: Subverted in 2.09 when Mark decides that being with Gracie and keeping her safe means more to him than pleasing Hank.]]
