History Characters / PokerFace

-->'''Charlie''': Avenge you? I don't even like you.

Charlie’s estranged sister.

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: It's practically a RunningGag that when Charlie finds a clue, the first person she confides in is the actual killer. She almost never distrusts anyone unless they openly lie to her, and sometimes not even then.

* JoinTheArmyTheySaid: Joined the FBI because he loves his country and wants to protect it from terrorist threats. Winds up babysitting forgotten old mobsters and radicals, and resents it greatly.

A pair of residents at Mossy Oaks Retirement home. Formerly hippies in the 70's, the two were thick as thieves and in with a group of protestors until a police raid left them imprisoned and Irene paraplegic. When they discover their old group leader Gabriel has moved in (and sold them out), they decide on murder.

-->'''Charlie''': I really thought you two guys were these super cool old women, standing up for what you believe in and holding the assholes accountable... Oh, wow... ''You're'' the assholes. Yikes.

!!Austin
One of Taffy's co-workers at the radio station, running his own show.

* NothingIsScarier: Whatever was on his computer[[note]]very heavily implied to be child pornography[[/note]], which is apparently worth multiple murders by his hosts at the Sterlings’ casino.

* CastingGag: [[Film/KnivesOut Not the first time Noah Segan’s played a cop in a Rian Johnson production]].

* SenseiForScoundrels: Marge’s experience with living off the grid is passed on to Charlie, helping her keep ahead of the surprisingly tech-savvy Cliff.

* ObfuscatingStupidity: Jed doesn’t take his uncle seriously, and treats him like an absent-minded guardian he could easily get up to mischief around… until Abe quietly reveals he knows Jed cut Charlie’s brake-lines, which he repaired, and then just as quietly points out how it makes Jed look guilty of something worse, before taking out his hearing-aids to muffle Jed’s protestations.

* KarmaHoudini: A {{downplayed}} example. True, we never see her get arrested or see any consequences for trying to blackmail Kathleen and Michael over the murder, but it's safe to say that since the duo are going to prison, she's not going to see a [[ShoutOut single]] [[Film/KnivesOut red dime]] of her demands.

* WhatYouAreInTheDark: The fact that he refuses to tip his deliveryman, despite clearly being wealthy and living well out of the way in the mountains, shows [[Jerkass what kind of guy he is]].

* NiceToTheWaiter: The fact that he refuses to tip his deliveryman, despite clearly being wealthy and living well out of the way in the mountains, shows what kind of guy he is.

* DeathByFallingOver[=/=]DisneyVillainDeath: Her end coms in when after running onstage to Michael for his heart pills, she falls down the trapdoor. She strikes her head on the edge of it, then falls the remaining 15 feet down to her death.

* PopCulturedBadass: His preferred frame of reference for how dangerous Charlie is when trying to convince Jr. to stop his plan? Michael Westen from Series/BurnNotice.

* BigBadWannabe: He has ambition and authority granted from his father, but clearly doesn’t stack-up compared to his old man, and [[spoiler: doesn’t make it past the first episode.]]

* SmugSnake: Unlike most of the other antagonists in the series, Jr. was not only informed about Charlie’s LivingLieDetector, he proved it to himself and attempted to recruit her to scam the casino’s “whale.” He then proceeds to still need her help to plot their scam, and still tries to lie to her face about what happened to her friend [[spoiler: and sets up his own doom doing so.]]
* WellDoneSonGuy: His desire to prove he can handle the situation without his father's help after a series of previous screw-ups shapes the first episode, and when he fails [[spoiler: receiving a call from his father prompts his suicide.]]

* NotSoDifferent: She is introduced as an (overly) sensitive GranolaGirl who is on the receiving end of Kathleen's unreasonable rants. But when she realizes that Michael and Kathleen killed Ava, she proves to be equally greedy (immediately trying to get rich off the event instead of reporting it) and narcissistic (expressing more anger at the two's plot distracting the audience from her acting than the murder). She even mirror's Kathleen's earlier "fucking millennials" insult by calling the two boomers.

** They also genuinely loved Gabriel before he revealed that he sold them out.

* BludgeonedToDeath: He takes a fall from the mechanic's roof, but manages to survive until Jed bashes him in the hed with a crowbar.

!!!'''Played by:''' Creator/ChloeSevigny (Ruby), John Darnielle (Al), G.K. Umeh (Eskie)

* TheDon: Sterling Sr. is heavily implied to be involved in organized crime as well as corporate corruption. [[spoiler:At the very least, he's a high-enough ranking member of the Southwest Syndicate that Beatrix Hasp being implicated for his assassination sparks a war between them and the Five Families.]]
