** Subtly implied in season three too: when Dr. Pelton needs to pull Winnie out of class to [[spoiler: deliver information to [[RebelLeader Ruth]] on behalf of the [[LaResistance anti-Wilford resistance]]]], Miss Gillies nods for Winnie to leave, all the while remaining beneath suspicion enough to be invited to [[LJ and Oz's "[[BreadAndCircuses Loyal Wedding]]" alongside Wilford's inner circle]].

* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: Shows shades of this. She's Snowpiercer's foremost agricultural expert, but she's also extremely knowledgeable about the process of bringing people out the drawers (even assisting Klimpt), and it's implied she helped engineer the process.

* AmbiguouslyEvil: Klimpt is doubtlessly creepy, due to being the jailor of Snowpiercer's troublemakers, who he's disturbingly seen doting over in a way that hints at possible abuses of power. However, he's yet to be seen doing anything genuinely ''evil''; he breaks the law, but according to him, it's only so he can keep his charges properly looked after. His other creepy mannerisms might be due to poor social skills. [[spoiler:He eventually seems to support Layton's revolution, or at least [[KnowWhenToFoldEm decides not to resist it]], releasing Tailie prisoners from the Drawers]].
* HiddenDepths: At first glance, Klimpt seems like a generically creepy scientist-turned-jailor, but he has insightful thoughts about the nature of life on Snowpiercer. He also trades in kronole not to increase his own standing, but to provide the comforts for the inhabitants of the Drawers that Wilford never thought to invest in.

* ALighterShadeOfBlack: He's an essential part of the train's BlackMarket, but unlike amoral freebooters like Terence and Oz he only does so to provide a level of comfort for those in the Drawers that the original designers didn;t consider.
* NoSocialSkills: Doesn't seem to interact with people beyond those who visit the Drawers, lavishing affection and care on those within them instead.

!Second Class Passengers

[[folder:Jinju]]
!!Jinju Seong
->'''Portrayed By:''' Susan Park

The finest chef at the train's finest restaurant, and a member of the train's elite. She oversees the agricultural and aquarium cars, frequently taking dives in the latter to harvest ingredients personally.
----
* AlmightyJanitor: She's one of Melanie's main advisors and confidants despite being a mere cook in Second. That said, certain scenes imply she's key in the train's agricultural sections, likely explaining her prominence.
* FriendOrIdolDecision: She really doesn't want to have to choose between Till and Melanie, implicitly because she'd choose the latter. Till simply tells her to stay in her room and stay safe instead of forcing her to a side.
* LipstickLesbian: She's beautiful and feminine, and in a passionate relationship with Till.
* SecretKeeper: She's one of the few people who know [[spoiler:that Melanie is impersonating Mr. Wilford]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Klimpt]]
!!Dr. Henry Klimpt
->'''Portrayed By:''' Happy Anderson

A research scientist-turned-doctor, who oversees those unfortunate enough to be sentenced to the coffin-like Drawers.
----
* AmbiguouslyEvil: Klimpt is doubtlessly creepy, due to being the jailor of Snowpiercer's troublemakers, who he's disturbingly seen doting over in a way that hints at possible abuses of power. However, he's yet to be seen doing anything genuinely ''evil''; he breaks the law, but according to him, it's only so he can keep his charges properly looked after. His other creepy mannerisms might be due to poor social skills. [[spoiler:He eventually seems to support Layton's revolution, or at least [[KnowWhenToFoldEm decides not to resist it]], releasing Tailie prisoners from the Drawers]].
* HiddenDepths: At first glance, Klimpt seems like a generically creepy scientist-turned-jailor, but he has insightful thoughts about the nature of life on Snowpiercer. He also trades in kronole not to increase his own standing, but to provide the comforts for the inhabitants of the Drawers that Wilford never thought to invest in.
* SoleSurvivingScientist: He's a former research scientist, and qualified scientists generally are in short supply on Snowpiercer. More specifically, Melanie claims that his work on the Drawers is designed to master the science behind {{Human Popsicle}}s to save people in the event that the train someday breaks down.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Miss Gillies]]
!!Mary Elizabeth Gillies
->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/FionaVroom

The train's schoolteacher.
----
* CoolTeacher: She seems to be encouraging towards the class, capable of independent thought (as opposed to The Teacher from the movie), concerned for her students during a near disaster and has Bojan as a guest speaker at one point.
* InterclassFriendship: A literal example. When serving on the Tribunal for [[spoiler:LJ Folger]] she gets along well with the other two jurors, one from first class and one from third.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Her middle and last names are likely a reference to the actress and singer Creator/ElizabethGillies.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: [[spoiler:Uses a syrupy voice and empty patter to distract Bennett so Josie can speak to Miles while he's being treated, and later to cover her own conspiring with Martin Colvin against the Folger's.]]
* ReverseMole: She seems to be an ally of the Tailies, helping Josie visit Miles against Melanie's orders and also working with a supporter of Melanie during [[spoiler:The Folger revolt]] in a way that suggests an EnemyMine scenario.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Dr. Pelton]]
!!Dr. Pelton
->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/KarinKonoval

A doctor onboard the train who sometimes works with Layton and the Brakemen.
----
* ClosestThingWeGot: Of all the doctors on the train she has the most experience with dead bodies, but she isn't a medical examiner by trade.
* CombatMedic: She was an army medic in the Middle East before the Freeze.
* TheCoroner: She's the one who analyzes what was done to the murder victims.
* InternalReformist: She seems to hold some sympathy towards the Tail and Layton, and testifies firmly for the prosecution in the killer's trial.
* WrongGenreSavvy: She knows that Melanie has a list of people to put in the Drawers, including her, and suspects it's a list of dissidents to serve as UnwittingTestSubject's for one thing or another. [[spoiler:Melanie claims it's actually a list of important people to save if the train suffers a crisis]].
