History Characters / Predator2

* BadassNormal: Harrigan is not a [[SemperFi special forces soldier or trained recon expert]], yet he is able to prove a worthy opponent to the Predator. Not only that, he manages to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere cause the Predator to actually run from him]], before turning the tables and [[BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame hunting down]] / killing the Predator in hand-to-hand combat! Although, when it comes to fighting skills, it's a ZigZaggedTrope as, while Harrigan is technically a normal police officer, his section of the city is an urban hellhole described in no uncertain terms as a warzone. He might not have all of the skills that Dutch and his team did, but he's every bit their match when it comes to open combat.

* {{Determinator}}: He doesn't let anything get in his way of hunting down the Predator, disobeying police protocol to hunt it down and facing his own phobias (Acrophobia).

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_0567.PNG]] [[caption-width-right:350:''"And you told me, lieutenant, "the only way you survive down here is because you're a team." "The door swings both ways," remember?"'']]

* YouShallNotPass: He tries to pull this on the predator of all people (Ballsy, stupid but Ballsy) It doesn’t work and it costs him his life but the predator was impressed enough that he did take Jerry’s skull and spine as a trophy.

* MySecretPregnancy: [[spoiler: Good thing for her, since the Predator doesn't kill pregnant prey]].

* AntiVillain: It's a NobleDemon who WouldNotShootACivilian (i.e., anyone unarmed).

** Judging by the Predator's sudden movements while camouflaged, the boy's presence startled it while it was stalking Harrigan. Once it regains its composure, it realizes it was only a young child with a toy gun. Expanded universe material indicates that Predators never kill children.

* TheChick: She's the only female member of Harrigan's team, and the only major female character in the film.

* WeaponOfChoice: A nickel-plated SIG-Sauer P226 handgun.

* WeaponOfChoice: A SIG-Sauer [=P226=] pistol fitted with a custom LaserSight.

->'''Played By:''' Creator/DannyGlover

-->''"I don't roll over for anybody, especially for the feds, without a goddamn good explanation!"''

An LAPD lieutenant and the main protagonist, Harrigan begins tracking the Predator after it kills El Scorpio's henchmen.

* AntiHero: Doesn't keep a lot of suspects alive, while being rude to his chief and recruit. But he has an all-around good heart.
* BadassNormal: Harrigan is not a [[SemperFi special forces soldier or trained recon expert.]] Yet he is able to prove a worthy opponent to the Predator. Not only that he manages to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere cause the Predator to actually run from him]], before turning the tables and [[BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame hunting down]] / killing the Predator in hand to hand combat! Although when it comes to fighting skills, it's a ZigZaggedTrope as, while Harrigan is technically a normal police officer, his section of the city is an urban hellhole described in no uncertain terms as a war-zone. He might not have all of the skills that Dutch and his team did, but he's every bit their match when it comes to open combat.
* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: To Dutch. Dutch was an experienced special forces operative with a bodybuilder physique. Mike is an average cop who doesn't have any military experience and isn't especially big though still in good physical shape. Of course given that Mike's command is explicitly stated to be in a part of the city that's a straight up warzone, he has every bit as much experience as Dutch in fighting and shooting people.
** Their methods of dealing with their perspective Predator opponents also strongly contrast. Dutch's fight against the first Predator was more like a duel between two master hunters. Harrigan's fight? He just got [[UnstoppableRage really, really pissed off and comes at the City Hunter with everything he's got.]]

* {{Determinator}}: Doesn't let anything get in his way of hunting down the Predator, even disobeying police protocol to hunt it down, or facing his own phobias (Acrophobia).
* DefiantToTheEnd. Subverted. Battered, blooded, and bruised after killing the City Hunter only to see a whole squad of Predators show themselves, Harrigan only asks "Who's next?". Luckily, they congratulate him on the victory (in their way) and let him go.
* GlorifiedSpermDonor: [[spoiler: Deleted scenes reveal that he and Leona got drunk and slept together a few weeks ago and that he may or may not be the father of her baby]].
* HadToBeSharp: Mike's precinct presides over a part of the city that is referred to flat-out as a war-zone that is constantly fought over by drug-dealers and other organized criminals and street criminals. As such, Mike and his people, though technically only standard police, have been in so many fights and firefights that experience-wise they are probably on the level of special forces when it comes to open conflict.
* HandCannon: Wields a Desert Eagle as his weapon of choice.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Danny. Danny's death at the Predator's hands is what causes him to hunt it down.
* {{Hypocrite}}: He tells Lambert not to pull any of his usual CowboyCop antics under his command, but he acts as a Cowboy Cop for the rest of the movie.
* ItsPersonal: Fights the Predator over the death of his fellow partners. This is most evident with Danny, with Harrigan even saying the trope word for word.
-->'''Lieutenant Mike Harrigan''': Captain, Danny and I came up together. ''Fifteen years on the fucking street!'' Whoever killed him's gonna pay. I'm gonna finish it.
-->'''Lieutenant Mike Harrigan''' (grabbing Keyes and violently pinning him against the wall): Listen, shithead. I don't give a fuck who you really are or what you want with this asshole... because now it's personal, and he's a dead man.
* LargeHam: Is very prone to shouting and very violent outbursts.
* OhCrap: When Harrigan finds out that Leona is pregnant. Justified since [[spoiler: deleted scenes reveal he might be the father]].

* RedOniBlueOni: Red to Leona and and Danny's blue, blue to Jerry's red.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: While he was already set on stopping the City Hunter, all bets were off upon the death of Danny. Harrigan became a veritable wrecking ball to anything between him and the Predator.
* ScaryBlackMan: Has quite a reputation on the street. [[spoiler: Even the Predator learns to fear him.]]
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Has a fear of heights, which the Predator seems fond of.

->'''Played By:''' Creator/BillPaxton

-->''"Lieutenant, I've paid my dues. I had to bust my ass to get my transfer."''

* BadassNormal: Able to hold his own in a gunfight [[spoiler:and holds off the Predator to save a crowded subway, which is enough for the Predator to claim his skull and spine as a trophy.]]
* CannotTellAJoke: He often tells jokes and "funny" stories but his colleagues mostly just find them irritating.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Harrigan and his team find Jerry and his invasive attitude and jokes irritating. And almost nobody can stand him.
* HiddenDepths: Seems like a loudmouth and a braggart at first but [[AwesomeEgo is exactly as good at his job as he claims to be.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Holds off the Predator to save a crowded subway car.]]

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He may act like a prick and got his previous partner killed, but deeply cares about his partners and is willing to put his life on the line.
* MacheteMayhem: [[spoiler:Picks up a machete for his confrontation with the Predator.]]
* PluckyComicRelief: Not very mature and has a tendency to crack bad jokes.
* RedBaron: Has the nickname of "The Lone Ranger," which according to the novelization, came from him taking down four bank robbers by himself on his first day.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:His stand-off against the Predator is what caused Leona to take him seriously.]]
* SmallNameBigEgo: Has this sort of reputation due to losing his previous partner, although he seeks to atone for this.
* TheSmartGuy: Has experience with surveillance techniques and uses them to track down Keyes' group and monitor their progress.

->'''Played By:''' Creator/MariaConchitaAlonso

-->''"You try that cowboy shit with me, fucker, and you can kiss these goodbye."''

* ActionGirl: She can handle herself quite well with a weapon especially during a crime filled heatwave in L.A. [[spoiler: Turns out to be a PregnantBadass as well]].

* TheChick: Only female member of Harrigan's team.
* GroinAttack: Gives one to Jerry for annoying her and hitting on her, threatening to crush his balls if he does. Quoted above.

* ImperiledInPregnancy: [[spoiler: Cantrell is spared by the Predator when his scanner reveals a fetus in her womb (the novelization states that killing a pregnant prey is against the rules of the hunt). It's unstated whether Cantrell herself knew she was pregnant beforehand]].
* {{Irony}}: Leona explains that Jerry Lambert is a lone wolf with a reputation for recklessness that gets his partners killed. [[spoiler: His actions get himself killed and Leona survives]].
* MamasBabyPapasMaybe: [[spoiler: Leona is pregnant, and it's unknown if her husband or if Harrigan is the father of the baby]].
* MySecretPregnancy: [[spoiler: Good thing for her, since the Predator doesn't kill women with child]].
* NeckLift: The Predator does this to Leona when confronting her in the subway -- lifting her to just the right height for it to realize [[spoiler: she is pregnant. He lets her live]].
* OneNightStandPregnancy: [[spoiler: A deleted scene would've revealed Harrigan and Leona got drunk and slept together once a few weeks prior. And that she is currently pregnant]].
* OnlySaneMan: Tries to warn Harrigan that they're in over their heads, but he doesn't listen.

* SpicyLatina: DownplayedTrope, as she has a bit of a fiery temper and is a Latina, but is more level-headed than Harrigan and Jerry.

->'''Played By:''' Creator/RubenBlades

Harrigan's best friend and partner who knew him before joining the police force. Ends up being killed by the Predator when he investigates.

* DeathFromAbove: [[spoiler:Danny is investigating the massacre of Gold Tooth and his men when the Predator snags him by the leg, he tries to pull his sidearm on it and it proceeds to drag him into the ceiling, where it kills him.]]
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: According to his autopsy report, the Predator did this and boned him like a fish afterwards.
* NiceGuy: Certainly less abrasive than his partners and far more reasonable.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Harrigan's red.
* SacrificialLamb: Is the most sympathetic member of Harrigan's group and his death causes the protagonists to take action against it.

* WeHardlyKnewYe: Is established as Harrigan's friend, but is killed by the Predator not long into the film.

->'''Played By:''' Creator/GaryBusey

-->''"How many times do I have to tell you? You don't know what you're dealing with."''

* AdmiringTheAbomination: Finds the Predator and its technology fascinating, although he tells Harrigan he doesn't admire it for what it does.

* BigBadWannabe: He wanted to capture the City Hunter for his and his crooked agency's selfish gains, but while it would make him a threat in another work like a science fiction government ConspiracyThriller of sorts, he however is just another small potato in comparison to the City Hunter.
* CurbStompBattle: He's on the wrong side of this trope when the City Hunter bisects him at the waistline with a Smart Disc.
* BlackHelicopter: Averted as his team uses a silver Alouette chopper, like the silver thermal suits they later use.
* FreezeRay: His plan to capture the Predator. [[spoiler: Turns out it's HarmlessFreezing to the Predator and gets killed for it.]]

* HeKnowsTooMuch: Harrigan believes he will do this to him in the novel. In the movie however he rejects the idea that they should kill Harrigan (albeit for pragmatic reasons) and later tells Harrigan to save himself while he takes on the Predator himself.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Warns Harrigan that he doesn't know what he's dealing with, but Keyes isn't fully prepared for the City Hunter either. Still, the plan mainly failed because he did not forsee alternate vision modes defeating his carefully laid freezer trap and one of his squad members accidentally making too much noise on a stairway. Additionally, the City Hunter had his clan along for the trip back at the ship, so Keyes and his team would have likely had to deal with them even if they had won due to one of theirs' not returning to the ship.
* IronicLastWords: Keyes intervenes between Harrigan's duel with the City Hunter, and feels confident that he can win. However, he gets effortlessly bisected by a Smartdisc and the City Hunter continues his pursuit of Harrigan.
-->'''Keyes''': Get out of here, Harrigan. I'm going to save your ass. This is between me and him.
* {{Irony}}: Harrigan's intervention when Keyes and the Predator are about to face off saves Keyes from what would have been a lethal ranged attack due to the Predator being distracted and having his aim thrown off. His own offhand attempt to repay the favor is what ultimately gets him killed since there's no way the Predator could miss this time.
* IWarnedYou: Delivers a lot of these to Harrigan. While Harrigan assumes he's being threatened (he is), Keyes is not wrong that YouHaveNoIdeaWhoYoureDealingWith.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's not exactly polite to Harrigan and refuses assistance when Harrigan offers it.
* JustThinkOfThePotential: Wants to capture the alien intact, or at least its technology so as to advance our technology.

* MadeOfIron: Manages to survives an ranged attack by the Predator that he seemingly didn't even dodge, though his survival can be accredited to the arrival of Harrigan throwing the Predator's aim off as he wasn't looking directly at Keyes when making the shot.

* PredecessorVillain: The organization he created and the sub-plot he brings to the table (the government being interested in Predator technology come hell, high water or large casualties) are shown to still cause trouble [[Film/ThePredator in canon]] [[VideoGame/PredatorHuntingGrounds media]] taking place decades later.
* VillainousValour: Despite being a dick for the entire movie, Keyes is no coward and when his plot to catch the Predator goes belly-up, he puts himself on the line to try to finish it off rather than running away.
* TheWorldsExpertOnGettingKilled: To be fair, his plan to capture the Predator failed only due to an unfortunately placed staircase creaking and giving away his squad's position and not been able to predict the Predator had other vision modes, one of which was capable of detecting their UV flashlights.

->'''Played By:''' Creator/MortonDowneyJr

* AssholeVictim: A non-fatal example, Harrigan punches him out late in the movie when he's had enough of his nosing around.
* HateSink: His character fulfills every moment to despise him.
* {{Jerkass}}: Nosy and impolite in his search for news, which causes everyone to hate him as a result.
* JerkassHasAPoint: He is constantly badgering that the mayor of L.A. is doing absolutely nothing to help stop the hang violence, instead living it up in his house on Lake Tahoe, and things are bad enough that the mayor declaring ''martial law'' would be a good thing, as well as praises the carnage the City Hunter is delivering to the gangs. From what we see of the situation that doesn't involves the Hunter, he's right.

* PetTheDog: He referred to Danny's death as the killing of one of L.A.'s finest.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Despite being a shock reporter, he thinks of himself as responsible for delivering the truth to the public.

->'''Played By:''' Creator/KentMcCord

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Is willing to permit Harrigan's violent escapades, knowing they get the job done.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Disappears once Harrigan starts pursuing the Predator for the final showdown.

->'''Played By:''' Creator/RobertDavi

The Deputy Chief of Police of Harrigan's district who used to be friends with him, but became distant after being promoted and have grown to hate Harrigan for his recklessness.

* ActorAllusion: Davi had previously played a cop in ''Film/ManiacCop2''.
* BadBoss: Treats Harrigan with little respect.

* DaChief: Well, officially, he's a deputy chief, but he is the highest ranked officer of the LAPD we see.
* ItsAllAboutMe: If telling Harrigan he made him look bad is any indication, it appears he only cares about his image over the job of fighting crime getting actually done.
* {{Jerkass}}: In his appearances so far, he never overlook an opportunity to express his IrrationalHatred of Harrigan and his CowboyCop antics.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Heinemann may not appreciate Harrigan's successes, but he was correct that Harrigan's actions does a lot of damage to the city, which he points out when he brings up a record of Harrigan's vandalism from his past duties, while confronting him over Danny's death as Captain Pilgrim attempts to defend Harrigan's actions.
* TheNeidermeyer: Only cares to look good in front of the public and the Chief of Police then the effectiveness of the police work.
* ObstructiveBureaucrat: He tries to impede Harrigan's case when Keyes comes into town.
* PoliceAreUseless: He's the reason for the this, giving into pressure by Keyes.
* SlaveToPR: He is very conscious of his public relations and finds Harrigan embarrassing to his image.
* UngratefulBastard: He berates him for disobeying orders during the siege on El Scorpio's hideout despite it winning the shootout. He [[PetTheDog does stick out for him when the Chief of Police threatens to fire Harrigan for Danny's death]], however, despite his hatred of Harrigan and [[SubvertedTrope blaming him for Danny's death]].
* WeUsedToBeFriends: A cut sub-plot included in the novelization revealed this is the case with him and Harrigan due to his promotions causing him to be more submissive and have TookALevelInJerkass at some point.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Disappears after meeting with Harrigan over Danny's death. [[spoiler: A deleted scene reveals that Keyes' group abandoned the LAPD when things get nasty and he's being pursued by angry reporters. Heinemann begs Harrigan to help him, but Harrigan rejects him since he's still furious over Danny's death.]]

->'''Played By:''' Calvin Lockhart

Leader of the Jamaican Voodoo Posse drug cartel competing with the Colombian Scorpions. He orders the execution of one of El Scorpio's men before he meets with Harrigan to discuss the Predator, which has begun attacking his men and Harrigan's. He is killed by the Predator shortly afterward.

* AffablyEvil: Discusses with Harrigan about the Predator while holding a degree of respect without any tension.
* AssholeVictim: He's a crimelord after all, at least he [[FaceDeathWithDignity faced death with dignity]].
* BigBadWannabe: Averted. Despite being a cartel leader, his outrageous appearance that sticks out like a sore thumb and having operations throughout the city streets that includes ordering the hit on a Colombian cartel member, he does not seem to actively try to pursue being an ArchEnemy of Harrigan's and even tries to warn Harrigan of the Predator's presence.
* CaneSword: Posses one with a snake head hilt.
* ColdHam: Tends to speak slowly, with dramatic emphasis.
-->'''King Willie''' (his last words while facing the City Hunter, reciting Psalm 87:1): His foundation lies in the holy mountains. Selah!

* DreadlockRasta: Subverted, as he is actually Voodoo.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Its implied that despite being on the opposite side of the law, the reason he discusses with Harrigan about the Predator is to somewhat warn him about it being a dangerous off-world threat that is very likely more deadlier than his mob, the Colombian mob and Harrigan's precinct put together.

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: His voodoo comes across as this and he believes the Predator to be a demon.
* OffWithHisHead: How the Predator kills him. Since this is usually the fate of {{Worthy Opponent}}s, it's suggesting that he put up a good fight offscreen.
* PragmaticVillainy: Does not seek to fight the police, unlike his psychotic Colombian counterpart El Scorpio, and even takes the time to warn Harrigan about the Predator.
* PunctuatedForEmphasis: He has a habit of regularly talking slowly and emphasizing his words, as the ColdHam description entails.
* RightForTheWrongReasons: Believes the one killing his men is a demon. He's right about it not being human, at least.
* ScaryBlackMan: Not so much in appearance, but his voodoo beliefs and behavior certainly make him qualify. Also, an InvokedTrope as his gangs use their voodoo-style killings to frighten their rivals.
* VillainOfAnotherStory: Was an established crimelord in battle with both their Colombian rivals and the police, only having to put their account on hold when the Predator shows up.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Gets killed a couple minutes after Harrigan meets with him.

->'''Played By:''' Henry Kingi

* AssholeVictim: He's a crimelord who murdered several people onscreen.
* AxCrazy: Takes delight in slaughtering police officers.
* BigBadWannabe: Was going out of his way in being the biggest threat to law enforcement until the City Hunter showed up that easily made him just another cannon fodder for Harrigan to take down at the beginning of the second film.
* CallBack: Possibly, to the StabTheScorpion scene from the first movie.
* DisneyVillainDeath: Falls off a roof after getting gunned down by Harrigan.

* GunsAkimbo: Carries two Micro-Uzis with him wherever he goes.

* MoreDakka: Uses a grenade launcher to take out a police car and attempts to invoke this when the police enter his hideout, but the Predator stops that.

* VillainOfAnotherStory: Was battling the cops on behalf of the Colombian Scorpion drug cartel before the City Hunter swooped in.

* WeHardlyKnewYe: Gets offed within the first ten minutes.

->'''Played By:''' Kevin Peter Hall, Danny Smith, Hal Rayle (Voice)

Another Predator who has come to Los Angeles with its tribe to hunt humans.

* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler: Loses its left arm to Harrigan, although it survives and heals up for their final showdown.]]
* AntiVillain: Is a NobleDemon who WouldNotShootACivilian (i.e., anyone unarmed).
* BerserkButton: The Predator was ''furious'' when Harrigan unmasked it. It threw Harrigan, smashed his shotgun, roared at him and would've killed him [[spoiler: if Keyes hadn't intervened]]. Harrigan insulting it's appearance probably didn't help either.
-->'''Mike:''' [[CallBack You're one ugly mother-]]\\

* BloodKnight: More so than any other Predator as while their preferred hunting grounds and tactics prefer lone isolated targets, the City Hunter regularly jumps in the middle of heavily armed groups and giving his prey more chances than a regular Predator would.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Spares a little kid after identifying his gun as a toy and [[spoiler: does the same to Leona when it realizes she's pregnant,]] although all bets are off if you can defend yourself, as it kills an old lady in the subway shootout, and it did aim its gun at the head of the child mentioned above at first. The city hunter doesn't seem to distinguish between dangerously armed and armed but still doesn't stand a chance, so it's best to play ActualPacifist to survive.
* ChameleonCamouflage: Wouldn't be the Predator without it.
* DeadlyDisc: Its Smart Disc acts as remote controlled boomerang buzzsaw that can fly.
* GlorySeeker: [[WordOfSaintPaul The late Kevin Peter Hall, the actor who played the City Hunter and Greyback]], states in the DVD/Blu-ray extras that he played the City Hunter as a "wild boy" who chose LA so his actions during the hunt would be well-known.
* HarmlessFreezing: [[spoiler: Turns out Keyes' nitrogenthrowers don't have much of an immediate effect on him and he's able to escape and retaliate after being blasted the first time though it hurts him as a creature preferring warm environments.]]

* ImmuneToBullets: Absorbs 30 bullets (two 15-round magazines of [=9mm=] ammunition) from Lambert and barely slows down, while Harrigan's shotgun blasts merely knock him out.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler: Ends up stabbed with its Smart Disc by Harrigan and having its stomach sliced open.]]
* InescapableNet: Uses one made of some sort of piano wire-like material to kill a gang banger and trap Harrigan momentarily.
* NobleDemon: Comes across as this in comparison to the original, considering it [[PetTheDog spares victims not capable of defending themselves such as a child and a pregnant woman]]. Additionally, much more of its victims come across as [[AssholeVictim assholes]] deserving to die compared to the first, especially the drug cartel members.
* NoWaterproofingInTheFuture: Like the first Predator, this one has its cloaking device flicker [[spoiler: when walking through a puddle to confront King Willie]] and short circuit when emergency sprinklers go out in the warehouse.

* PayEvilUntoEvil: The novel implies that it attacked the Jamacian gangmembers ''because'' they attacked the helpless Ramon Vega and his mistress; though Ramon Vega was a Colombian crime boss, he was unarmed and nude when they found him, and before killing him, they gang-raped his mistress.
* PlasmaCannon: In addition to the shoulder mounted weapon, this Predator has one built into its left gauntlet.
* PrecisionFStrike: Twice throughout the film, when Mike unmasked him, The City Hunter screamed "Motherfucker" and when The City Hunter almost defeats Mike, he says "[[DeadpanSnarker Shit happens]]".
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Among a race known for being [[Manga/CityHunter wild]] [[WaxingLyrical and tough]], City Hunter is almost certainly the wildest and quite possibly one of the toughest.
* Really700YearsOld: ''VideoGame/PredatorHuntingGrounds'' reveals the City Hunter is 300 years old and still a youth by Predator standards.
* RetractableWeapon: Its spear, wrist blades and wrist cannon.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Carelessly discards its mask and plasma caster when they are broken and does not retrieve its severed arm, all of which have dangerous consequences down the line. In the audio logs from ''VideoGame/PredatorHuntingGrounds'', it's revealed that the OWLF program picked up the City Hunter's discarded helmet, plasma caster and severed arm and used them to study Predator technology and physiology. This led them to have a better grasp on killing Predators, forcing the species to slow its hunts on Earth before drawing the ire of possibly the Predator Queen. This culminated in the events of the [[Film/ThePredator fourth film,]] where it's implied a rogue clan of Predators planned to take over the Earth and caused havoc in a Project Stargazer facility. In turn, this led to Stargazer being shut down and becoming a terrorist group selling black market Predator tech and destabilizing regions in hopes of attracting Predators.
* WorthyOpponent: Comes to view Lambert, King Willie, and Harrigan as this. The novel states that it, along with the rest of its kind, view Dutch as this.
* WouldHitAGirl: The Predator attacked Leona [[spoiler:only sparing her when it saw she was pregnant. Before then it did kill armed female commuters in the attack on the train shootout, including an elderly woman]].
* WouldHurtAChild: Implied in the film only to be Subverted. When the City Hunter came across a child carrying a gun, it aimed its plasma weapon at the boy's head, [[spoiler:only sparing the child after double-checking and identifying the gun as a toy]].
** Judging by the Predator's sudden movements while camouflaged, the boy's presence startled him while he was stalking Harrigan. Once he regained his composure, he realized it was a young child with a toy gun in his proximity. Expanded universe material indicates that Predators never kill children.

->'''Played By:''' Kevin Peter Hall, Hal Rayle (Voice)

The leader of the City Hunter's tribe with centuries of hunting experience on his belt.

* BerserkButton: [[spoiler:When a pirate killed Raphael Adolini, his intended prey, Greyback proceeds to kill the pirate for stealing his kill]].
* CoolOldGuy: A cool old Predator at that who recognizes a WorthyOpponent when he sees one.
* CoolSword: Carries a jagged sword in-lieu of wrist gauntlets.
* DueToTheDead: Does this with [[spoiler:the corpse of the City Hunter despite the City Hunter having lost several pieces of their technology that could fall into human hands, which the EU reveals is a crime in Predator society. He also does this in ''Predator: 1718'' when he buries Raphael Adolini, the original owner of the flintlock pistol he owns]].

* FireForgedFriends: With Raphael Adolini, an 18th century pirate who he targeted. [[spoiler: Before dying, Adolini gives him his pistol while the Predator buries Adolini and leaves his prized sword at his grave]].

* TimeAbyss: As its flintlock trophy implies, Predators live for centuries before becoming elderly. ''VideoGame/PredatorHuntingGrounds'' reveals the City Hunter is 300-years-old and still a youth by Predator standards, which means the Greyback is likely exceptionally old.
* ShoulderCannon: Has a Plasma Caster with a built-in targeting laser sight controlled by hand, considering it forgoes a helmet.
* WorthyOpponent: [[spoiler: Awards Harrigan its flintlock trophy for defeating the City Hunter and allows him to live. In ''Predator: 1718'', he shows his respect to Raphael Adolini by burying him.]]

* ActionGirl: [[spoiler: Turns out to be a PregnantBadass as well]].

* BigBadWannabe: Averted. Despite being a cartel leader, his outrageous appearance that sticks out like a sore thumb and having operations throughout the city streets that includes ordering the hit on a Columbian cartel member, he does not seem to actively try to pursue being an ArchEnemy of Harrigan's and even tries to warn Harrigan of the Predator's presence.

* CannotTellAJoke

* {{Hypocrite}}: Warns Harrigan that he doesn't know what he's dealing with, but Keyes isn't fully prepared for the City Hunter either. Still, the plan mainly failed because he did not forsee alternate vision modes defeating his carefully laid freezer trap and one of his squad members accidentally making too much noise on a stairway. Additionally, the City Hunter had his clan along for the trip back at the ship, so Keyes and his team would have liked had to deal with them even if they had won.

* TheScrappy: In-Universe. Harrigan and his team find Jerry and his invasive attitude and jokes irritating. And almost nobody can stand him.

-->'''Keyes''': I'm saving your ass Harrigan, this is between me and him.
