->'''Played by:''' Creator/JamesFranco
-->''"Caesar. I'm sorry. This is my fault. This has to stop. This isn't the way, you know what they're capable of. Please come home. If you come home, I'll protect you."''
The son of Charles Rodman, the adoptive human father of Caesar, and the boyfriend of Caroline Aranha. Through his connection to Caesar, Will unknowingly became the adoptive human grandfather of Caesar's two young sons, Blue Eyes and his infant brother. He was the scientist who was responsible for the creation of ALZ-112, the so-called cure for Alzheimer's Disease. Like Robert Franklin, Will was one of the rare employees at Gen-Sys Laboratories who actually did care for animal test subjects, such as Bright Eyes, and did not simply see them as experiments.
----
* BusCrash: [[spoiler:According to WordOfGod, Will and Caroline die (likely from the Simian Flu) in the interlude between ''Rise'' and ''Dawn''.]]
* TheCaretaker: For his father, who has Alzheimer's.
* DecoyProtagonist: His name comes first in the credits, but Caesar is the real protagonist.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: Despite being the DecoyProtagonist, he is still the secondary focus of the story after Caesar.

* HotScientist: Caroline seems to think so.
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:Will dies from the Simian Flu, which he was responsible for creating, however inadvertently.]]
* PapaWolf: Toward Caesar. He attacks Dodge when he realizes Caesar is being abused.
* ParentalSubstitute: He and his father took care of Caesar after the latter's mother died.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Will drops the ball many times. He doesn't fess up about taking the cure home and its effect on his father until his father is starting to relapse. He doesn't fess up and point out that one of the test apes' intelligence is off the charts. Despite knowing the intelligence level of Caesar, and knowing full well there are children out in the street Will doesn't have "the talk" with him.
* PromotionToParent: After taking Caesar home, he becomes his father in every respect.
* ReedRichardsIsUseless: Will's drug gives his father full reversal of Alzheimer's for eight years (followed by a rapid regression and progression). A potential pharmaceutical gold mine he dumps and starts over from scratch because it wasn't permanent. Granted, his father's death messed with his judgment, but still.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: His work (although enabled by Jacobs and spread by others) ultimately dooms most of humanity.
* WhatTheHellHero: He gets one from Caroline when she discovers Caesar's true nature, although it falls a little flat since she's trying to say that curing Alzheimer's is wrong.

Rodney remained neutral, believing that Dodge was cruel to the apes, but was mostly too afraid - either of Dodge or his father's position - to question orders.

->'''Played by:''' David Hewlett
A pilot for Global Airlines and a neighbour of Charles Rodman and Will Rodman. He had a bad temper, despised the Rodmans with deep hatred for no apparent reason, and clashed with them when three-year-old Caesar escaped and frightened his children when the curious chimpanzee wanted to ride a bicycle found in Hunsiker's garage.
----
* ArtificialLimbs: After being {{Fingore}}d by Caesar, his lost finger was replaced by a metal-looking one.
* AssholeVictim: He's a colossal jerk [[spoiler:and winds up infected with ALZ-113, transmitting it around the world]].
* ButtMonkey: He only turns up when something bad is about to happen. To him. [[AssholeVictim Which he most deserved due to his reactions to his misfortunes]].
* {{Fingore}}: Caesar bites his finger off.
* HairTriggerTemper: He has a razor-sharp temper, which usually kicks in just in time to screw him over.
* HateSink: Before the inclusion of Dodge and Jacobs' more pivotal role later in the film, Hunsiker's role basically stands in as the first example of HumansAreTheRealMonsters that Caesar learns and most of his appearances was just to show his IrrationalHatred towards the film's protagonists even though their actions are not directly against him on purpose.
* HotBlooded: He is very temperamental and not afraid to get physical. This backfires ''constantly''.
* IrrationalHatred: Apparently of his neighbors the Rodmans (even if one of them is a senile old man) and any friends of theirs, [[spoiler: his animosity towards anything related to his hated neighbors backfires on him big time when catching Will's friend red-handed for seemingly trespassing, only to get infected with ALZ-113]].
* {{Jerkass}}: While a lot of his behavior is [[JerkassHasAPoint somewhat reasonable if you considerable the circumstances from an impartial viewpoint]], it's still bad form to blow your lid at a clearly senile old man. The best thing to do was to speak to his carer and/or family member rather than borderline assault someone who clearly didn't know what was going on. However, his angry reaction is so suspiciously extreme that it feels more out of IrrationalHatred of his neighbors then just what Charles did.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Hunsiker initially gains audience sympathy when he finds a chimpanzee in his home, ''[[PapaWolf near his children]]'', and has the nerve to fend off what he obviously believed is a dangerous wild animal. Also, he assaulted a dementia-stricken elderly man, but is arguably understandable given the circumstances over the damage of his car.
* PapaWolf: He has kids, and is somewhat [[JerkassHasAPoint justified in his anger at Caesar since he's just protecting them as best as he can. There was no way to know that Caesar wasn't dangerous]].
* SmallRoleBigImpact: [[spoiler:He winds up being the one to infecting the world with ALZ-113. Through his actions in provoking Caesar, in confronting Franklin and in spreading the virus through air transport, Hunsiker played a central role in the fall of mankind]].
* TyphoidMary: While he ''does'' display symptoms, he ignores them [[spoiler:and winds up transmitting ALZ-113 around the world. Of course, he had no way of knowing what he was infected with.]]

A former San Francisco police chief who became Mayor shortly after the beginning of the Simian Flu outbreak which subsequently claimed the lives of his wife and children. He retained his position of authority in the rapidly depopulated city for a decade, and took a militant stance against the Evolved Apes.

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:He dies believing that he did it for the human race.]]
* TheLeader: Of the Colony.
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: His two kids died during the outbreak.
* PoorCommunicationKills: The victim of this; [[spoiler: from Dreyfus' viewpoint, the humans are fighting in self-defense. Just when the colony receives power and starts communication, Koba leads the apes to start slaughtering and imprisoning the humans. So when Malcolm, at gunpoint, starts making peace talk, it's understandable why Dreyfus refused to give him the benefit of the doubt.]]
* PrecisionFStrike: Gives one to [[spoiler:Malcolm]] during the film's climax.
-->'''Dreyfus:''' Are you out of your fucking mind?
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He takes time to listen to what his subordinates has to say.
* RousingSpeech: He makes a couple of them. First, when he gets everyone behind his plan to reclaim the dam's power. He delivers another one when [[spoiler:the apes are on their way to attack the Colony.]]
* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:Attempted this at the sequel's climax.]]
* SuddenlyShouting: ''"They're ANIMALS! THEY ATTACKED US!"''
* WastelandElder: Dreyfus is TheLeader of the Colony, and one of the older members.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: While he gave Malcom's plan a chance, before that he was planning to wipe out the apes in order to get to the generator at the dam and planned to go ahead with it if he didn't hear back from him in time. And the film makes it very clear that the refugees will not survive for long without the power from the generator. [[spoiler:After Koba's attack, he tries to blow up the entire tower the apes are occupying to kill as many of them as possible, believing that after the attack, they cannot be reasoned with and for the sake of humanity, they must die.]]

* BaldOfEvil: Shaved bald, and although 'evil' is debatable he's certainly enough of an asshole to be an antagonist.
* DirtyCoward: Shoots Ash in the beginning of the film out of blind terror. His continued fear and distrust of the apes leads him to sneak a shotgun to the dam, which only serves to increase the friction between the apes and Malcolm's group [[spoiler:and make him a believable scapegoat for Koba's FalseFlagOperation]].
* FantasticRacism: He absolutely '''hates''' the apes, blaming them for the Simian Flu.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoiler:He gets killed just after expressing a genuine moment of happiness.]]
* HotBlooded: He's in a permanently foul mood, and it only takes the slightest nudge to send him into violence.
* InformedAbility: Malcolm's reason for bringing Carver along is that he worked on the dam, but we never see him offer any real help in getting the dam fixed, in fact they manage just fine without him, thus narrowing his role in the film to just being the perpetual fuck-up.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's selfish, aggressive, ignorant and miserable. He insults Malcolm and Ellie by bringing up their dead loved ones in an accusatory tone and his unchecked temper ultimately helps [[spoiler: Koba to take power by framing him.]]
* LampshadeHanging: "Okay, so ''I'm'' the asshole."
* TheLoad: See InformedAbility above for more information.
* NotSoDifferent: He is practically a human Koba. Both are distrustful, angry and violent. [[spoiler: Makes it ironic since the latter killed him.]]
* PermaStubble: Like many male survivors.
* RevengeBeforeReason: Carver straight-up admits that he's angry at the apes because he has nobody else to blame for the virus. He also ignorantly dismisses the Simian Flu's true origins - a virus created by humans and not spread by apes - as "hippy-dippy bullshit".
* TheScapegoat: See SmallRoleBigImpact below.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: In comparison to the other human characters Carver is relatively minor (and [[spoiler:he's killed halfway through ''Dawn'']]) but he serves as an example to Caesar's apes of the possible threat humanity poses. Ultimately, he's used [[spoiler:as a scapegoat by Koba to incite war between ape and human.]]

-->''"Caesar. I'm sorry. This is my fault. This has to stop. This isn't the way, you know what they're capable of. Please come home. If you come home, I'll protect you."''
The son of Charles Rodman, the adoptive human father of Caesar, and the boyfriend of Caroline Aranha. Through his connection to Caesar, Will unknowingly became the adoptive human grandfather of Caesar's two young sons, Blue Eyes and his infant brother. He was the scientist who was responsible for the creation of ALZ-112, the so-called cure for Alzheimer's Disease. Like Robert Franklin, Will was one of the rare employees at Gen-Sys Laboratories who actually did care for animal test subjects, such as Bright Eyes, and did not simply see them as experiments.
----
* BusCrash: [[spoiler:According to WordOfGod, Will and Caroline die (likely from the Simian Flu) in the interlude between ''Rise'' and ''Dawn''.]]
* TheCaretaker: For his father, who has Alzheimer's.
* DecoyProtagonist: His name comes first in the credits, but Caesar is the real protagonist.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: Despite being the DecoyProtagonist, he is still the secondary focus of the story after Caesar.

* PapaWolf: Toward Caesar. He attacks Dodge when he realizes Caesar is being abused.
* ParentalSubstitute: He and his father took care of Caesar after the latter's mother died.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Will drops the ball many times. He doesn't fess up about taking the cure home and its effect on his father until his father is starting to relapse. He doesn't fess up and point out that one of the test apes' intelligence is off the charts. Despite knowing the intelligence level of Caesar, and knowing full well there are children out in the street Will doesn't have "the talk" with him.
* PromotionToParent: After taking Caesar home, he becomes his father in every respect.
* ReedRichardsIsUseless: Will's drug gives his father full reversal of Alzheimer's for eight years (followed by a rapid regression and progression). A potential pharmaceutical gold mine he dumps and starts over from scratch because it wasn't permanent. Granted, his father's death messed with his judgment, but still.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: His work (although enabled by Jacobs and spread by others) ultimately dooms most of humanity.

* {{Fingore}}: Caesar bites his finger off.
* HairTriggerTemper: He has a razor-sharp temper, which usually kicks in just in time to screw him over.
* HateSink: Before the inclusion of Dodge and Jacobs' more pivotal role later in the film, Hunsiker's role basically stands in as the first example of HumansAreTheRealMonsters that Caesar learns and most of his appearances was just to show his IrrationalHatred towards the film's protagonists even though their actions are not directly against him on purpose.
* HotBlooded: He is very temperamental and not afraid to get physical. This backfires ''constantly''.
* IrrationalHatred: Apparently of his neighbors the Rodmans (even if one of them is a senile old man) and any friends of theirs, [[spoiler: his animosity towards anything related to his hated neighbors backfires on him big time when catching Will's friend red-handed for seemingly trespassing, only to get infected with ALZ-113]].
* {{Jerkass}}: While a lot of his behavior is [[JerkassHasAPoint somewhat reasonable if you considerable the circumstances from an impartial viewpoint]], it's still bad form to blow your lid at a clearly senile old man. The best thing to do was to speak to his carer and/or family member rather than borderline assault someone who clearly didn't know what was going on. However, his angry reaction is so suspiciously extreme that it feels more out of IrrationalHatred of his neighbors then just what Charles did.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Hunsiker initially gains audience sympathy when he finds a chimpanzee in his home, ''[[PapaWolf near his children]]'', and has the nerve to fend off what he obviously believed is a dangerous wild animal. Also, he assaulted a dementia-stricken elderly man, but is arguably understandable given the circumstances over the damage of his car.
* PapaWolf: He has kids, and is somewhat [[JerkassHasAPoint justified in his anger at Caesar since he's just protecting them as best as he can. There was no way to know that Caesar wasn't dangerous]].
* SmallRoleBigImpact: [[spoiler:He winds up being the one to infecting the world with ALZ-113. Through his actions in provoking Caesar, in confronting Franklin and in spreading the virus through air transport, Hunsiker played a central role in the fall of mankind]].
* TyphoidMary: While he ''does'' display symptoms, he ignores them [[spoiler:and winds up transmitting ALZ-113 around the world. Of course, he had no way of knowing what he was infected with.]]

----
* BadassBookworm: He is seen reading from time-to-time.
* DefrostingIceKing: He is initially distant, but eventually warms up.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: He is very, very pale.
* EmoTeen: His screentime usually involves him angry or sulking. As Malcom points out, [[JustifiedTrope we can hardly blame him]]; he watched the planet die around him for most of his life.
* {{Foil}}: To Blue Eyes. Both are the EmoTeen sons of the two factions' main characters. But while Blue Eyes is initially distant to Caesar, Alex has always been close to Malcolm.
* KidHero: The apocalyptic Earth forces him to be one.
* MissingMom: She died during the outbreak.
* NotSoDifferent: He is practically a human Blue Eyes.

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dreyfus_9040.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"I'm saving the human race."'']]
->'''Played By:''' Creator/GaryOldman
-->''"You all know what we're up against."''
A former San Francisco police chief who became Mayor shortly after the beginning of the Simian Flu outbreak which subsequently claimed the lives of his wife and children. He retained his position of authority in the rapidly depopulated city for a decade, and took a militant stance against the Evolved Apes.
----
* AntiVillain: While he becomes an antagonist, he is not an evil person. He's merely misguided, ill-informed and desperate to save his people.
* BadassLongcoat: He's usually seen wearing one of these.
* BadassMustache: Sports one.
* BenevolentBoss: He is a well-meaning leader to the San Francisco refugees.
* {{BFG}}: At one point Dreyfus wields a rocket launcher.
* CoolOldGuy: A badass FatherToHisMen.
* CrusadingWidower: His entire family was killed during the outbreak.
* AFatherToHisMen: Dreyfus is seen reassuring his troops and is very upset when harm comes to them.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:He dies believing that he did it for the human race.]]
* TheLeader: Of the Colony.
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: His two kids died during the outbreak.
* PoorCommunicationKills: The victim of this; [[spoiler: from Dreyfus' viewpoint, the humans are fighting in self-defense. Just when the colony receives power and starts communication, Koba leads the apes to start slaughtering and imprisoning the humans. So when Malcolm, at gunpoint, starts making peace talk, it's understandable why Dreyfus refused to give him the benefit of the doubt.]]
* PrecisionFStrike: Gives one to [[spoiler:Malcolm]] during the film's climax.
-->'''Dreyfus:''' Are you out of your fucking mind?
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He takes time to listen to what his subordinates has to say.
* RousingSpeech: He makes a couple of them. First, when he gets everyone behind his plan to reclaim the dam's power. He delivers another one when [[spoiler:the apes are on their way to attack the Colony.]]
* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:Attempted this at the sequel's climax.]]
* SuddenlyShouting: ''"They're ANIMALS! THEY ATTACKED US!"''
* WastelandElder: Dreyfus is TheLeader of the Colony, and one of the older members.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: While he gave Malcom's plan a chance, before that he was planning to wipe out the apes in order to get to the generator at the dam and planned to go ahead with it if he didn't hear back from him in time. And the film makes it very clear that the refugees will not survive for long without the power from the generator. [[spoiler:After Koba's attack, he tries to blow up the entire tower the apes are occupying to kill as many of them as possible, believing that after the attack, they cannot be reasoned with and for the sake of humanity, they must die.]]

[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/foster_1.png]]
->'''Played By:''' Jon Eyez
-->''"You know the scary thing about them? They don't need power, lights, heat; that's their advantage. That's what makes them stronger."''
A member of the Colony and is a good friend to Malcolm and his family.
----
* AngryBlackMan: Only towards Carver, who certainly deserves all the scolding.
* BadassBeard: He sports one.
* BadassGrandpa: He's around his forties to fifties.
* BaldOfAwesome: He is bald and a badass.
* BlackBestFriend: To Malcolm and his family.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: He seems to be a decade older than Malcolm and Ellie, and certainly several decades older to Alexander.
* MartialPacifist: Much like Malcolm, violence is never a first choice for him.
* NotSoDifferent: He is practically a human Maurice: strong, loyal and intelligent.
* OnlySaneMan: One of the most level headed members of the group.
* OlderSidekick: To Malcolm.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He's not seen again after Koba has the apes chase the humans when he falsely accuses them of killing Caesar.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"I don't take orders from monkeys!"'']]
->'''Played By:''' Creator/KirkAcevedo
-->''""They're apes, man! You think they understand what you're saying?"''
A member of Malcolm's group.
----
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:He's beaten to death by Koba. Nobody mourns, except those who viewed his death as an AlasPoorScrappy moment for him after he shows a genuine moment of happiness upon witnessing their mission to restore the lights in the city complete.]]
* BaldOfEvil: Shaved bald, and although 'evil' is debatable he's certainly enough of an asshole to be an antagonist.
* DirtyCoward: Shoots Ash in the beginning of the film out of blind terror. His continued fear and distrust of the apes leads him to sneak a shotgun to the dam, which only serves to increase the friction between the apes and Malcolm's group [[spoiler:and make him a believable scapegoat for Koba's FalseFlagOperation]].
* FantasticRacism: He absolutely '''hates''' the apes, blaming them for the Simian Flu.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoiler:He gets killed just after expressing a genuine moment of happiness.]]
* HotBlooded: He's in a permanently foul mood, and it only takes the slightest nudge to send him into violence.
* InformedAbility: Malcolm's reason for bringing Carver along is that he worked on the dam, but we never see him offer any real help in getting the dam fixed, in fact they manage just fine without him, thus narrowing his role in the film to just being the perpetual fuck-up.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's selfish, aggressive, ignorant and miserable. He insults Malcolm and Ellie by bringing up their dead loved ones in an accusatory tone and his unchecked temper ultimately helps [[spoiler: Koba to take power by framing him.]]
* LampshadeHanging: "Okay, so ''I'm'' the asshole."
* TheLoad: See InformedAbility above for more information.
* NotSoDifferent: He is practically a human Koba. Both are distrustful, angry and violent. [[spoiler: Makes it ironic since the latter killed him.]]
* PermaStubble: Like many male survivors.
* RevengeBeforeReason: Carver straight-up admits that he's angry at the apes because he has nobody else to blame for the virus. He also ignorantly dismisses the Simian Flu's true origins - a virus created by humans and not spread by apes - as "hippy-dippy bullshit".
* TheScapegoat: See SmallRoleBigImpact below.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: In comparison to the other human characters Carver is relatively minor (and [[spoiler:he's killed halfway through ''Dawn'']]) but he serves as an example to Caesar's apes of the possible threat humanity poses. Ultimately, he's used [[spoiler:as a scapegoat by Koba to incite war between ape and human.]]
* TokenEvilTeammate: Of Malcolm's scouting party. [[spoiler: Koba even learns of this and sets him up (posthumously) to take the fall for his assassination of Caesar.]]
