* TheMole: [[spoiler:He's a constantly-nervous FatBastard who loudly questions if fighting OCP is worth it at one point. He was going to sell the rebels to OCP either [[DirtyCoward to save his own ass]] or [[OnlyInItForTheMoney for money]], that much was sure]].
* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: [[spoiler:The Rehabs blow him away during their raid on the Rebels' base -- we don't see the actual shooting, of course, but we see the Rehabs finding his dead body right after [=McDaggett=] orders them to look for him in an explicit invocation of this trope.]]

!!Rehabs

[[folder:Paul [=McDagget=]]]
[-Played by John Castle-]

Commander of the Rehabs, mercenaries hired by OCP.

* ArmyOfThievesAndWhores: He hires a vicious street gang after the police force quits.
* BigBadDuumvirate: With the OCP CEO in ''[=RoboCop=] 3''.
* ColonelKilgore: The CEO calls him "war-wacky" on the climax. The fact that he seems to like all the fighting that is going on and the carnage involved only adds to that.
* CopKiller: He tells his men to fire upon Metro West's officers when they decide to assist the Cadillac Heights rebels [[spoiler:and he personally gunned down Lewis.]]
* DecompositeCharacter: He takes over the Rehab/merc aspect from Kong in Creator/FrankMiller's [[ComicBook/FrankMillersRoboCop original script for]] ''Film/RoboCop2'' when the Rehabs for recycled for ''3''.
* DragonInChief: Though nominally the CEO is supposed to be his superior, [=McDagget=] ultimately answers only to Kanemitsu directly and mostly only tolerates the CEO. In fact it seems he's willing to go to extreme lengths not authorized by Kanemitsu in order to achieve his mission of cleansing Old Detroit to make way for Delta City.
* EvilBrit: British and very evil.
* HeroKiller: [[spoiler:Kills Officer Anne Lewis, a MoralEventHorizon moment for him [[InUniverse which leads Murphy]] to come gunning for him.]]
* ItsPersonalWithTheDragon: Even with OCP finished as a company, his forces either dead or in retreat and having nothing to gain by doing so, [=McDagget=] wanted to [[JustYouAndMeAndMyGUARDS kill [=RoboCop=] with the help of two Otomos]] for his own personal satisfaction and ultimately died because of this. The OCP executives and his own surviving men [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere wisely retreated]] because they had nothing to gain from destroying one lone cyborg at this point.
* KillThePoor: He plans to wipe out the citizens of Old Detroit who refuse to cooperate with being relocated from their homes.
* MoreDespicableMinion: Even the [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Corrupt Corporate Executives]] at OCP ultimately find his methods to be beyond the pale. He just pulls a HandCannon on the CEO and tells him to sit down and shut up.
* ANaziByAnyOtherName: Even more so than [=OCP=] (who were blatantly PuttingOnTheReich in the second film). The Rehabs also greatly resemble the infamous "Black And Tans" from UsefulNotes/TheIrishRevolution, considering that they're war veterans hired as mercenaries to augment the police in evictions. [=McDaggett=] himself being an EvilBrit hammers this home.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He's not blatantly racist, but as noted above, he's very much about [[KillThePoor killing the poor]].
