History Characters / TheRaid

* * BigBrotherInstinct: It's not made clear which is the eldest, but the brother takes charge between him and his sister when they fight Rama, and once Hammer Girl is killed, he flies into a RoaringRampageOfRevenge and almost overwhelms Rama.

* TheBrute: The Assassin seems to command some authority in the organization, while the siblings are mostly just hired muscle employed to kill and both are their top enforcers.

* CombatPragmatist: Like Mad Dog, The Assassin enjoys a good fight and when Rama finally faces off against him both assume fighting stances and prepare for a bout. Unlike Mad Dog, The Assassin treats his job more seriously than just an excuse to fight, and when he starts losing the fistfight, he breaks out his karambits.

* DirtyCoward: Has shades of this. Unlike Mad Dog, the Assassin always fights in a position that gives him an advantage. He only fights Prakroso after the latter is very wounded and exhausted from fighting and killing dozens of mooks (sent to kill him as well), and the moment Rama gets the upper hand on their last fight he quickly grabs his karambits, despite having no problem fighting hand-to-hand at first.

* LightningBruiser: You'd be hard-pressed to find ''anyone'' who is faster, stronger, and out and out more {{Badass}} than Rama. Mad Dog is an exception, not the rule.

* {{Housewife}}

* DirtyCoward: When the shooting starts up he's near paralyzed with fear, though when the team is cornered, he's up and shooting with the rest. He runs from Mad Dog... which is understandable, and when he, Dagu and Rama are thrown into unarmed combat, Wahyu does his best even if he isn't as skilled as the other two. [[spoiler:Killing Dagu and using Tama as a way out, however, cements him as this]].

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Jaka's the officer in charge with a ton of experience under his belt, so he can hold his own in a fight. He even manages to hold on the longest against Mad Dog in single combat.

* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler: His fate, courtesy of Uco after Bejo arms him with a shotgun he only has a few moments to have an OhCrap moment before Uco blasts himin the face..]]

* AbusiveParents: According to WordOfGod, the two had an abusive father whom caused [[spoiler:hammer girl's scarred eye]]. His abusive ways and the two killing him for it was stated to be the reason why they are now psychopathic criminals.

* DefianttotheEnd: Prakoso sees The Assassin coming for him. However, instead of running, he meets him head-on and even tries to throw the first punch.

* AnAxeToGrind: Agee might have brought the axe in, but by the time they engage the gangsters, it's in Bowo's hands. When Jaka's swarmed by a bunch of thugs, Bowo buries the axe in one of their shoulders and drags him off.

* {{Deconstruction}}: Of the ActionHero and InvincibleHero. Rama maybe a badass OneManArmy that can run through dozens of mooks, but he is still human that can be injured and fights because he ''has'' too, rather than for action sake. Not to mention, in almost every aftermath of his fights, he's left bruised, battered, and limping. This is best shown in the first movie during his fight with the machete gang, where Rama's first instinct was to ''run'' rather than bravely faced them head on. It is after that he's cornered that he manages to mustered up the courage to face them head on in order to stay alive. In short, Rama is not a hero, he is just a normal human doing heroic things.

* LightningBruiser: You'd be hard-pressed to find ''anyone'' who is faster, stronger, and out and out more Badass than Rama. The only one to ever come close however was Mad Dog.

* JerkassWithAHeartOfGold: He is harsh and short-tempered, but an efficient and moral leader.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler:With the reveal of him being a DirtyCop, all of his takedowns of gangsters end up falling under this trope. Most notably his murder of Tama]]

* WouldHurtAChild: When they were using stealth, and Wahyu sees a kid about to raise the alarm, he shoots him in the neck, justifying it under IDidWhatIHadToDo

* BadassBystander: He takes care of his ill wife by himself, saves Rama and Jaka's lives, and resists the Machete Gang Leader's intimidation.

* RareGuns: Uses a Beretta 93R in the car chase scene.

* Deconstruction: Of the ActionHero and InvicibleHero. Rama maybe a badass OneManArmy that can run through dozens of mooks, but he is still human that can be injured and fights because he ''has'' too, rather than for action sake. Not to mention, in almost every aftermath of his fights, he's left bruised, battered, and limping. This is best shown in the first movie during his fight with the machete gang, where Rama's first instinct was to ''run'' rather than bravely faced them head on. It is after that he's cornered that he manages to mustered up the courage to face them head on in order to stay alive. In short, Rama is not a hero, he is just a normal human doing heroic things.

[[caption-width-right:350:some caption text]]

* SmugSnake: Not nearly as competent, cunning, or ruthless as he thinks he is. [[spoiler:His first big plan is to secretly orchestrate a disastrous gang war at Bejo's behest, and when his father refuses to take the bait, Uco's outraged reaction quickly gives his involvement away. When he finally does kill his father so he can take over what's left of their organization, he's unable to look the man in the eye during his betrayal]].

* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: In the finale of the film, Bejo arms him with a shotgun that he puts to good use. [[spoiler:Shoting Reza on the head, point blank. Before finally turning it on Bejo, getting a good hit on his leg, shoulder and then killing him off with a close blast to the head]].

* ArmorIsUseless: Though he ditches his body armor half-way through the firt film, it actually does protect him during the fight with the Machete gang. One member lands a blow on him which cuts the armor, but Rama is unharmed.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Rama is a kind and quiet man, who deeply cares for his comrades and family, but he also just so happens to be the best fighters in the series. [[OneManArmy Fighting against armies of mooks and fellow martial artists]], that are [[OneManArmy One men/women armies]] in their own right.

* OneManArmy: Rama can take down the entire gang if he has to. In the second film, the titular Raid is performed by himself against an entire gang.

* UnwittingPawn: To both Bejo and Rama. Both men spend most of the movie trying to gain his trust.

* {{Foil}}: He and Rama are very similar in terms of appearance, clothing and fighting style. In fact when the two fight on even terms in the final act, it almost borders on a MirrorMatch. Especially when Rama gets one of the Assassin's knives, wherein the two look almost indistinguishable.

* AbusiveParents: According to WordOfGod, the two had an abusive father whom caused [[spoiler:hammer girl's scarred eye]]. His abusive ways and the two killing him for it was stated to be the reason why they are now psychpathic criminals.

* BatterUp: The brother's weapon of choice and namesake are a metal baseball bat. That he uses very effectively, while he uses it the obvious way, he also incorporates jabs with the tip and even utilizes the grip to deliver blows.
* BerserkButton: Throwing his ball away instead of giving it to him when he asks for it is a good way to piss him off. [[spoiler:Killing his sister also understandably flies him into a rage]].
* TheBrute: The Assassin seems to command some authority in the organization, while the siblings are mostly just hired muscle employed to kill and both are their top killers.

* InTheHood: Baseball Bat Man wears a hoodie and sometimes is seen having the hood up.

* BaldOfAwesome: In ''Berandal'', his head is shaved thanks to his undercover stay in prison and he's just as if not more badass as before. Although it starts slowly growing back but it's still very short.

Warning spoilers are unmarked!

* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: He displays level of strength, speed and endurance that are nearly superhuman. All thanks to his training and the experiences he has faced in both movies.
* CombatPragmatist: Rama is as resourceful as he is rather ruthless in a fight. If he isn't beating you to death with martial arts or using weapons. He's either throwing objects, breaking limbs, stabbing people with all sorts of sharp objects, slamming you against walls or any tough surface, headbutting you to distract you, or using your own knife to either kill you or your friends.
