!! The original series
[[folder:The Palmers]]
!!Laura Palmer
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/laura_palmer.PNG]]
->Played by: Sheryl Lee
The most popular female student of the Twin Peaks High School, Laura was seen as an exemplary and beloved member of the local community. But her sudden murder and the subsequent investigation brings many of the dark secrets surrounding her to light, revealing that behind her pretty, wholesome and seemingly perfect surface she was in reality a severely troubled and lonely young woman deeply embroiled both in Twin Peaks' seedy underbelly and as well the town's more strange and unearthly happenings.
-----
* BerserkButton: ''Fire Walk With Me'' shows that even in her darkest moments of apathy and hedonism, the prospect of Donna being corrupted or coming to any sort of harm would bring her back around screaming and fighting.
* BiTheWay: ''The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer'' reveals that at least three of her numerous lovers were female: [[spoiler:Ronette Pulaski, Blackie, and Josie Packard]].
* TheChosenOne: ''The Return'' strongly hints that [[spoiler: The Giant created her through some sort of indirect immaculate conception to suffer at the hands of BOB and die a martyr]], or something similar anyway.
* CosmicPlaything: [[spoiler: If the theory that Laura was designed by The Giant/????? to combat BOB by becoming a martyr and setting off a chain of events that lead to BOB's downfall is correct, then the poor girl literally had cosmic beings ensure that she was destined to be ''molested and killed''.]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:For several years before murdering her, at least since her mid-adolescence, Laura's father Leland had been molesting her while possessed by BOB.]]
* DarkerAndEdgier: In the prequel movie, ''Fire Walk With Me'', we see fairly little of her happy, well-adjusted public face.
* DysfunctionJunction: ''Wow'' does it make sense why she went as wrong as she did.
* GiveGeeksAChance: Even the timid, mentally fragile shut in Harold Smith managed to get a piece of Laura when they made out and almost had sex in ''Fire Walk With Me.''
* GoGetterGirl: Laura subverts this as we get a glimpse of the darkness behind her seemingly perfect facade.
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:She suffers a ''major'' one in the prequel film when she finds out (or at least strongly suspects at the time) that BOB is possessing her dad, Leland.]]
* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: Laura Palmer was one of the prostitutes at One Eyed Jacks.
* ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne: A backstory-heavy but highly cryptic sequence from ''The Return'' implies that this is her role.
* MissingWhiteWomanSyndrome: Ending each episode with a still picture of her dressed as a prom queen was ''surely'' meant to evoke this.
* MrViceGuy: Laura Palmer turns out to have been involved in cocaine, prostitution, and [[spoiler: demonic possession.]]
* ParentalIncest: [[spoiler:BOB's main pleasure in possessing Leland seems to have been having him molest Laura.]]
* PosthumousCharacter: We see her alive in ''Fire Walk With Me'', but in the series proper she only shows up in recordings and flashbacks.
* ReallyGetsAround: It's probably quicker to count up the characters in Twin Peaks at the time of Laura's murder who ''weren't'' in love with and/or sleeping with her.
* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: Very much the case with Donna in ''Fire Walk With Me''.
* SeeminglyWholesomeFiftiesGirl: Played with -- the impression is not a sexually liberated young woman expressing herself under the safe cover of being a "good girl" as much as someone isolated and hurting in ways few people ever knew while she was alive.
* StepfordSmiler: Type A. She kept up a very good and wholesome image while her life was falling apart at the seems.
* UncannyFamilyResemblance: Sheryl Lee played both Laura ''and'' her cousin Madeline.
!!Leland Palmer
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/250px-Leland_Palmer_4702.jpg]]
->Played by: Ray Wise
The father of Laura Palmer, Leland is a well-respected lawyer in Twin Peaks.
[[spoiler:When he was a child, he met the evil spirit BOB and was possessed by him. After hearing the news of his daughter's murder, Leland suffers a nervous breakdown, which results in him killing murder suspect Jacques Renault at the end of season one.]]
[[spoiler:At the beginning of season two, Leland awakens to find his hair has turned white. He becomes very upbeat, joyfully dancing and singing show tunes. However, it isn't long until he is arrested by Cooper and Truman for Jacques Renault's murder, but is soon released due to being well-respected by the townsfolk.]]
[[spoiler:Not long after the trial, he brutally murders his niece Maddie Ferguson (who bears a strong resemblance to Laura) the day before she is supposed return to her hometown, Missoula. The police find out about the murder and, with help from the Giant, Cooper reveals that Leland is Laura's killer. When Leland is taken in for interrogation, BOB assumes full control over his body and forces him to commit suicide just before leaving. Leland tells of his tragic childhood and the murders he committed and, with Cooper's help, dies peacefully while seeing a vision of his daughter.]]
-----
* AndIMustScream:[[spoiler: In ''The Return'', an aged Leland appears to Cooper in the Black Lodge begging him to find Laura. This seems to imply that Leland's soul is trapped in the Black Lodge even after death.]]
* AmoralAttorney: When he goes back to working for Ben Horne, it is quickly revealed that his speciality is advising Ben on how to LoopholeAbuse his way out of paying taxes and how to whitewash his money.
* AbusiveParents: He definitely isn't one himself, but [[spoiler:he becomes one whenever BOB is in control of him, including forcing him to commit ParentalIncest. ''Fire Walk With Me'' does however imply that there was [[TheCorruptible an abusive aspect to Leland's personality all along]], that BOB [[TheCorrupter was able to latch on to and intensify]].]]
* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler:By BOB]].
* DyingAsYourself: [[spoiler: BOB leaves his body moments before his death and Leland has a MyGodWhatHaveIDone reaction.]]
* EnemyWithin: [[spoiler:BOB, though ''Fire Walk With Me'' implies that he is more of a devil on Leland's shoulder.]]
* ExcessiveMourning : While Leland's grief over his daughter's death is understandable, it frequently goes so over-top that it crosses into the realm of the ridiculous, and some of the scenes he causes with his occasional breakdowns means that several townspeople can't help but make fun of him behind his back.
* FateWorseThanDeath:[[spoiler:Not only was possesed by Bob, but after his death his soul appears to be trapped eternally within the Black Lodge in a similar manner to Cooper.]]
* HappyEndingOverride: [[spoiler: In Season 2 as Leland is about to die and overcome with horror over his actions, Cooper tries to comfort him and tells him to GoIntoTheLight towards what is implied to be the White Lodge. It seems to work on Leland as he apparently see's a vision of Laura and dies happy. Unfortunately in ''The Return'' Cooper see's an older Leland in the Black Lodge pathetically oblivious to Laura's fate.]]
* InelegantBlubbering: Frequently when he grieves over Laura.
* LockedIntoStrangeness: His hair turns white after [[spoiler:he murders Jacques Renault]].
* ParentalIncest: [[spoiler: Has been molesting Laura under BOB's influence since her early adolescence]].
* ThePollyanna: He becomes a weird, grown-up male version of this trope at the beginning of the second season after [[spoiler:he's killed Jacques Renault and BOB has taken more complete control of him,]] which literally prevents him from staying upset about anything, including tragic events, for too long and to frequently break into singing and dancing.
* MoreThanMindControl: [[spoiler:There some hints, especially in ''Fire Walk With Me'', that Leland's sexual abuse of Laura wasn't only down to BOB forcing Leland into doing it, but also that BOB was able to play on some repressed, dark urges already present in Leland.]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: After BOB makes him bash his head and hangs him out to dry, Leland has this moment where he reveals to Cooper all of the horrible things BOB has made him do and his horror upon remembering that he killed and molested his own daughter.]]
* SanitySlippage: He starts off pretty reserved and somber after Laura's death, only to become increasingly over-the-top in his mourning process. [[spoiler: And then we find out about the influence BOB's had on him.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Hoo boy! He is after all [[spoiler: the rapist and murderer of his own daughter]].
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Leland's hair turning white is a sign that [[spoiler:BOB has completely taken over.]]
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler: Once he's arrested, making him useless to BOB, BOB forces him to kill himself by smashing his head against a wall]].
* YourCheatingHeart: In ''Fire Walk With Me'' [[spoiler: it's shown that Leland, either by himself or under the influence of BOB, frequented the prostitutes of Deer Meadows like Teresa Banks while still married to Sarah.]]
!!Sarah Palmer
->Played by: Grace Zabriskie
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hqdefault333.jpg]]
The wife of Leland Palmer and the mother of Laura Palmer.
-----
* AdultFear: Has a fear her daughter is dead before its confirmed and later that her husband is going insane. [[spoiler: She's correct both times.]]
* TheAlcoholic: Spends most of her time in ''The Return'' getting drunk and watching TV, with seemingly nothing else to fill out the day.
* BigNo: Has a number of these reactions, not just with no over events in the series.
* BrokenBird: ''Quite'' thoroughly in ''The Return''. Considering all the shit she went through in the original, it's more than understandable.
* CloserToEarth: While still very shattered by her grief over Laura's death, she is not nearly the complete wreck that Leland is. [[spoiler: Subverted by the fact she missed her daughter was being sexually abused since puberty and had become a drug addicted prostitute.]]
* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler: Has either this or a SymbioticPossession going on. It's not really clear who or what is possessing her, other than that she has a very tough and violent inhabiting spirit that becomes active when she's threatened]].
* FreakOut: Has one in the middle of a grocery store in ''The Return''.
* GrumpyOldWoman: She's quite cold and rude to everyone in ''The Return'', but it's pretty understandable considering the traumas she's suffered.
* HeadInTheSandManagement: Her ignorance to what was going on in her own household was tremendous.
* HumanoidAbomination: [[spoiler:All but confirmed in ''The Return.'' She takes her own face off, revealing a terrifying void behind it.]]
* HystericalWoman: As BOB taunts her.
* NotHerself: [[spoiler: Possibly]].
* ParentsAsPeople: She seems to have been grossly ignorant of Laura's issues but was never malicious.
* PsychicDreamsForEveryone: She is frequently haunted by visions of BOB and the Pale Horse.
* TheScream: Completely breaks down when she discovers her daughter is dead.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Briggses]]
!!Major Garland Briggs
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Garland-Portal_3003.jpg]]
->Played by: Creator/DonSDavis
A high ranking member of the Air Force involved in UFO investigations, spiritualism, and the White Lodge. He is also Bobby Briggs' father.
-----
* AmbiguousDisorder: His lack of expression, odd SpockSpeak, and obsessive traits may not be only the result of a lifelong military career or working largely in secret, but possibly signs of some form of mental disorder.
* ApocalypticLog: [[spoiler:''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'' turns into this for him in its last chapter. The second to last entry has him describing his relief that Cooper has returned from the woods seemingly unscathed and he has asked sheriff Truman to tell Cooper to visit him once he recovers, before the entry cuts off with Briggs going down to greet Cooper who is ringing on his doorbell. The last entry has Briggs extremely worried, as Cooper was behaving very strangely during his visit. Briggs then writes that he needs to return to the listening post as quickly as possible, before the entry ends with "*M*A*Y*D*A*Y*"]]
* AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: [[spoiler: In ''The Return'' if William Hastings questionable testimony is anything to go by then Hastings entered the Black Lodge and witnessed the spirit of Briggs ascend into what is implied to be the White Lodge while mentioning the name ''Cooper'' several times.]]
* AwesomeMcCoolname: Neither Garland or Briggs is especially uncommon but together sounds like a comic book character.
* TheApprentice: [[spoiler:To Douglas Milford, who handpicked him to be his successor as "the Watcher in the Woods".]]
* BaldOfAwesome: This ''is'' Creator/DonSDavis, after all.
* BigGood: A mortal version of the trope like Cooper.
* BrokenPedestal: While he admits that any government body, especially a secretive one, could become corrupt, the Major asserts that the classified information he deals with is for a noble cause. [[spoiler: He quickly becomes disillusioned after realizing the Air Force has malicious plans for the White Lodge.]]
* BusCrash: [[spoiler: Dies in a mysterious fire after meeting with BOB!Cooper]]
** [[spoiler: An giant apparition of his head latter appears to Cooper in the Lodge saying "Blue Rose"]]
* TheCharacterDiedWithHim: [[spoiler: Died in a fire some years prior to the TimeSkip]], as Don S. Davis sadly passed away in 2008.
* CoolOldGuy: More like "Cool Middle-aged Guy", but close enough.
* ConspiracyTheorist: Actually ''more so'' than [[spoiler: Cooper]]. Though it might be a result of [[spoiler:him being in on the (seemingly) BenevolentConspiracy]].
* {{Eagleland}}: Flavor 1. Down to his uniform being his attire of choice for seemingly everything.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: What more can you say about a man whose greatest fear is the "possibility that love is not enough"?
* NarratorAllAlong: [[spoiler:At the end of ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'' he is revealed to be the mysterious "Archivist", the in-universe collector of the dossier the book is based on. It actually also brings the LiteraryAgentHypothesis into play, as it becomes gradually obvious that Briggs might have had a better understanding of the mysterious things going in Twin Peaks than most people, but even his perspective is shown to be flawed, limited and riddled with blind spots, and it is apparent he is ultimately missing several pierces of the different puzzles and have misunderstood certain events, as some of his conclusions contradicts events seen in the series and at several points he starts blatantly speculating and guessing about several things.]]
* NotSoStoic: His various [[spoiler: kidnappings]] take a serious toll on his psyche, to the point of stammering and shaking.
* OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler: In ''The Return'' the headless, vivisected corpse of a man identified as Major Briggs has apparently been popping up several times over the years with the Military covering it up. Tellingly it's Briggs' head that floats by Cooper in the Black Lodge.]]
* PosthumousCharacter: [[spoiler: Before he was killed by the Doppelganger, Briggs left instructions on how to enter the Black Lodge and coordinates that reveal the existence of two Coopers with his wife who passed it on to Sheriff Truman, Hawk and their son Bobby 25 years after Season 2. His legacy seems to be a key factor in the events of ''The Return''.]]
* RaisedCatholic: Briefly alluded to in the series (he and his wife wear a lot of cross iconography and keep an altar to Jesus in their house), but addressed further in ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'', which discusses his interest in religious mysticism as a product of having been brought up in a version of this trope that plays against type.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Emotional distance and weird formality aside, he makes every effort to respect that his son chooses a very different life from him.
* SharpDressedMan: Can't go wrong in a military uniform.
* SpockSpeak: One of the causes of the distance between himself and his son is just how bizarrely-eloquent he is.
* UnstuckInTime: [[spoiler: After BOB!Cooper apparently murdered Briggs in a fire, a mutilated corpse with his fingerprints has popped up several times over the past two decades. The most recent corpse had the coroner declare that the body had only been dead for a few days despite Briggs having died almost thirty years ago.]]
!!Robert "Bobby" Briggs
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bobby_briggs.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:300:[[labelnote:Click here]]http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bobby_briggs25.jpg[[/labelnote]] Twenty-five years later...]]
->Played by: Dana Ashbrook
The captain of the Twin Peaks football team and a small time drug dealer. He's the son of Major Briggs and the boyfriend of Laura Palmer.
-----
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Laura Palmer's last relationship is with him. Subverted in that she humiliated him by destroying his "bad boy" posturing, as [[spoiler:next to her he was both weak and innocent.]]
* BeingGoodSucks: Has cleaned up his act by ''The Return'' but that has actually ''alienated'' him from his ex-wife and daughter.
* BiggerIsBetterInBed: In ''Fire Walk With Me'', he wastes no time bragging about his "pocket rocket" to Laura.
* FairCop: [[spoiler: Twenty five years after Season 2, Bobby has joined the Twin Peaks Sheriff's Department and his good looks have managed to stay intact in his older state.]]
* GetRichQuickScheme: Spends most of his time coming up with these, and he's ''terrible'' at it.
* HeelFaceTurn: Between Season 2 and ''The Return'', he goes from a drug dealing punk to [[spoiler: a cop who specifically catches the kind of criminal he once was.]]
* IAmNotMyFather: By a ''long shot''. [[spoiler: Ironically, he enters government work after his father's death.]]
* JerkJock: An enormous ass in high school as well as the town's top football player.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He mellows out over the course of the show [[spoiler: and the TimeSkip]].
* {{Hypocrite}}: Cheats on Laura with Shelly, only to become enraged with James for having a relationship with her.
* LargeHam: Bobby can be quite hammy when he gets emotional. Some of the best examples can be seen in the pilot episode when he's both accused and later questioned about possibly murdering Laura Palmer as well as in the fourth episode with his big [[BigWordShout AAAAAAMEEEEN!!!]] at Laura's funeral, and earlier in the same episode when his father implies that he's afraid of said funeral (specifically the last part of his response to that).
-->'''Bobby Briggs:''' AFRAID?!! I'M GOING TO TURN IT [[PunctuatedForEmphasis UP!!SIDE!!DOWN!!]]
** And let's not forget the scene where he ''dances backwards'' into the school hallway when talking to Laura in TheMovie.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Ends up growing up into a ReasonableAuthorityFigure trying to look out for his wayward offspring, much like his own father.
* TheLostLenore: While he loves Shelly, he is utterly devastated by Laura's death [[spoiler: and still cries thinking about her twenty-five years later.]]
* ManlyTears: [[spoiler: The sight of Laura Palmer's Homecoming Queen portrait in 2016 almost immediately brings him to tears.]]
* MrFanservice: He's very, ''very'' pretty.
* OlderAndWiser: By ''The Return'', [[spoiler:he's become a deputy helping protect Twin Peaks.]]
* RebelliousSpirit: ''Very'' different from his wholesome parents. [[spoiler: Until ''The Return''.]]
* ReformedButRejected: An odd example as Bobby's wife is implied to have left him because she found his new good guy attitude to be boring.
* SmokingIsCool: And as expected, his far more clean-cut father doesn't approve of it.
* StraightMan: His LargeHam traits get downplayed when he starts working for Horne, most likely because Ben's SanitySlippage is enough to give ''him'' pause.
* WildCard: Screws up a number of really important criminal schemes by dangerous criminals as a teenager just by being ''that'' stupid.
* VillainProtagonist: We follow a number of his petty crimes across the series which include drug dealing and welfare fraud. This stops with ''The Return'' where he's become a Sheriff's deputy.

[[caption-width-right:300:[[labelnote:Click here]]http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/donna_h_m.jpg[[/labelnote]] ''Fire Walk With Me'']]
->Played by: Lara Flynn Boyle (TV show), Moira Kelly (''Fire Walk With Me'')
Laura Palmer's best friend and the daughter of the town doctor. He is romantically involved with James Hurley after Laura's death.
-----
* TheChick: One of the most emotional, heartfelt, and decent characters on the show. Sometimes.
** Becomes TheDarkChick to an extent with many FemmeFatale qualities that, sadly, don't last.
* DoggedNiceGirl: For James. She starts to change with CharacterDevelopment and James status as an OutOfFocus character.
* DrivenByEnvy: While Laura's best friend, it's clear she also wanted many things Laura had like James as well as a confident sexual persona.
* FemmeFatale: Becomes one of these to get the missing pages of Laura's diary.
* LukeIAmYourFather: In the season 2 finale, we find out that her biological father is actually [[spoiler:Benjamin Horne]].
* MoralityPet: For Laura Palmer in the prequel movie and ''The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer.''
* NotHerself: At the beginning of season 2. It is implied that she (either subconsciously or because of the Twin Peaks' general weirdness) is somehow absorbing some of Laura's personality traits from wearing her sunglasses. An alternate interpretation is she's simply enjoying taking a walk on the (slightly) wilder side.
* OnlySaneMan: One of the most normal people in Twin Peaks, which makes her frequently confused and bewildered by events around her.
* TheOtherDarrin: Moira Kelly in ''Fire Walk With Me'' was Lara Flynn Boyle's unpopular replacement.
* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: ''Fire Walk With Me'' makes it clear that she and Laura were involved in one.
* TheScully: Donna has as many Lodge encounters as Agent Cooper but misreads them as mundane events.
* SmokingIsCool: Starting with season 2.
* StarCrossedLovers: Donna imagines herself and James to be this but it's {{Subverted}} in the fact no one really seems to care at worst (except her boyfriend at the time) and many others actively support them.
!!Eileen Hayward
->Played by: Mary Jo Deschanel
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eileen.jpg]]
Donna's mother and the wife of Doc Hayward. She is paraplegic from an unknown accident.
-----
* CutShort: We'll never know all the details of [[spoiler:her relationship with Ben Horne]]. [[SeasonalRot Even though they're pretty obvious]].
* HappilyMarried: Subverted. At least at one point during her marriage. It's true in the present day.
* TheMistress: [[spoiler: Ben Horne treats his relationship with Eileen far more seriously than he does his other affairs.]]
* ParentsAsPeople: She's implied to be an excellent mother and NiceGirl who still had an affair [[spoiler: that birthed Donna.]]
* WhatTheHellHero: Accepts, unlike everyone else, Ben Horne has changed. Unfortunately, is the one most keenly aware his attempts to change, [[spoiler: specifically trying to start a relationship with his unknowning daughter,]] could destroy her family.
* YourCheatingHeart: Given Audrey and Donna are the same age, both she and Ben Horne were married when [[spoiler: Donna]] was conceived.
!!Gersten Hayward
->Played by: Creator/AliciaWitt
[[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gersten_hayward.jpg]]
The Hayward's youngest daughter and a musical prodigy. [[spoiler: Later Stephen's girlfriend.]]
-----
* AdorablyPrecociousChild: A musical prodigy who is just damn adorable as well as willing to help her sister sneak out. Averted when she caves immediately to her father asking where Donna went to.
* ClosingCredits: She gets to interrupt [[InstrumentalThemeTune Falling]] to play a boogie-woogie number on piano.
* DemotedToExtra: Was only in two episodes of the show despite Donna's prominence. Played straight in ''The Return'' as well where she doesn't get a speaking role but only shows up in a background shot.
* TheMistress: Stephen is cheating on his wife Becky with her in ''The Return''
* SheIsAllGrownUp: In ''The Return'', she's a rather tragic example as it's clear she never left Twin Peaks and dates scum like Stephen.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: Time has not served her well if she's hanging around with Steven in ''The Return.''
!!William "Doc" Hayward
[[quoteright:120:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/120px-DocHayward_2607.jpg]]
->Played by: Warren Frost
Twin Peak's seeming only doctor who also serves as a makeshift coroner.
-----
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Struggles to cover his laughter when Mayor Dwayne threatens to sue Lana for "death by sex".
* CoolOldGuy: One of the nicest and most decent people in Twin Peaks. He is as vital to solving Laura's murder as Sheriff Truman.
* ClosestThingWeGot: He has to step up as TheCoroner, despite not being a forensic medical examiner -- Twin Peaks isn't the kind of place that needs one -- but he does alright.
* NiceGuy: The most decent person on the show after Cooper and Pete.
* NotSoStoic: While he's generally a calm and reasonable man, he still has his limits, as demonstrated by his altercation with Albert early on, where he gets infuriated that Albert insists on keeping Laura's body for the upcoming funeral to perform an autopsy.
* PapaWolf: He completely blows up at [[spoiler: Ben Horne]] when he drives Donna to tears.

[[quoteright:166:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/166px-Audrey_009a_8271.jpg]]
->Played by: Sherilyn Fenn
Daughter of Ben Horne, and seems to have made it her life's mission to act up and play the FemmeFatale. Has a crush on Cooper from the moment she sees him.
-----
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Mostly evident in the pilot and early episodes.
* AwfulWeddedLife: Is openly cheating on her husband Charlie with another man and generally seems to hate how spineless and milquetoast he is.
* BeautyMark: Next to her left eye.
* BettyAndVeronica: The Veronica to Annie's Betty. In a twist, she's actually sort of a better person than Donna.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Mostly in the early episodes.
* BreakTheHaughty: Proudly manipulates her way into One-Eyed Jack's--and then, her experiences there [[OhCrap hits her hard with the realization that she's in over her head,]] leading to her privately shedding tears and praying for Cooper to save her.
* DaddysLittleVillain: Inverted - A majority of the time, her shenanigans are done to spite Ben, directly or indirectly. For a laugh in the earlier episodes, anyway.
* FilleFatale: [[DownplayedTrope She's eighteen, actually.]] But her sexuality is of the "playful/childlike" quality.
* FemmeFatale: ''Loves'' to revel in the role, particularly for Cooper. As the first season progresses, we come to discover she's actually more of an HeroicSeductress, using her sexual antics to investigate and sabotage the corruption around her.
* GenerationXerox: Becomes every bit as conniving as her father as the series goes on.
* GoodBadGirl: Puts off a highly sexual airs, and generally acts pretty rebellious, but all in all she's quite moral, after all.
* HiddenHeartOfGold: It's implied her rebellious attitude stems out of disgust at her father's corruption.
* LadySwearsALot: Her first scene in ''The Return'' has her let loose on her husband Charlie.
* LonelyRichKid: Cooper appears to be the first person she's truly opened up to in a while.
* MsFanservice: Constantly goes out of her way to act "sexy"...down to showing up in Cooper's ''bed'' in one episode.
* SeeminglyWholesomeFiftiesGirl: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] -- she initially comes across as a stereotypical "bad" girl...but turns out to have a HiddenHeartOfGold.
* SmokingIsCool: [[spoiler: Although she seems to quit around the middle of the second season]].
* SweaterGirl: Some truly beautiful ones are worn by her during the show, many which accent her figure.
* TookALevelInJerkass: As of ''The Return'', it seems.
* UglyGuyHotWife: By the time of ''The Return'' Audrey has managed to retain her good lucks but has found herself married to a man she openly loathes named Charlie who looks like a potato wearing glasses.[[note]] The actor suffers from juvenile rheumatoid arthritis [[/note]]
* YourCheatingHeart: In ''The Return'', [[spoiler: she shamelessly reveals to her husband that she's having an affair with a man named Billy]].
!!Benjamin "Ben" Horne
[[quoteright:224:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/224px-Twin_peaks_36_2797.jpg]]
->Played by: Richard Beymer
The millionaire hotel owner of the Great Northern and a land developer who hopes to turn the town into a tourist resort. He is the father of Audrey Horne as well as owner of the One Eyed Jacks brothel and casino.
-----
* BecomingTheMask: Starts off using a conservation scheme to derail Catherine's real estate plans, but eventually takes it seriously and starts reflecting on the decisions of his past.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Besides his legitimate company, which alone makes him the biggest business owner in Twin Peaks, he also got his finger in several more shady businesses, [[spoiler:such as One-Eyed Jacks]], and he is always plotting new ways to expand his business empire, usually through means that are extremely underhanded at best and outright illegal at worst.
* DeathGlare: A pretty hilarious version. One episode has a scene of Ben's 27 year old son [[AmbiguousDisorder Johnny]] running around outside in his Native American headdress playing Cowboys & Indians and emitting a childish war cry. Cue a shot of Ben looking out the window [[InadequateInheritor staring daggers into his only male heir]].
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: He kisses his mother's image while watching the old film.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: For all his manipulations, he genuinely cares for Audrey and is clearly proud of her when she asks to work in his department store.
* GoodFeelsGood: Deconstructed: when he starts to improve himself, Ben is clearly ecstatic to be doing the right thing for once. However, he doesn't take into the account the feelings of the people around him. For example, [[spoiler: revealing to Donna that he's her father may have been "right" but it completely tears apart her family in the season two finale.]]
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: He usually smokes cigars, signifying his role as a CorruptCorporateExecutive. After [[spoiler: his HeelFaceTurn in the second season]], he seems to [[AddictionDisplacement switch to celery stalks and carrots]].
* HandsomeLech: Has relationships with a large number of women in addition to the many prostitutes in his employ he sleeps with. Would be TheCasanova if not for the fact Ben is prone to corny oddball behavior (much like other Twin Peaks residents) and barely disguises his sleazier elements.
* KickTheDog: Refusing to send money to his mother after her grandson robbed her came off as rather cruel for a man who's mostly changed his ways.
* LargeHam: Especially in the middle-to-later episodes when things start to fall apart for him, which causes him to get much more dramatic and uncomposed, but especially so in the episodes after [[spoiler:he has a complete breakdown and starts acting and dressing like General Robert E. Lee]]. Even before that though, he fits the subtler variety of ham pretty well. His speech patterns can best be compared to that of Lionel Luthor from ''Series/{{Smallville}}'', in that both of them put emphasis on any words and parts of their lines that they feel are important.
* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:Revealed in the season 2 finale to be Donna's father.]]
* NotSoAboveItAll: Especially prevalent in season 1 where Ben is a more serious and sinister character than most other Twin Peaks residents. He's not above his own bit of odd behaviors such as when his brother introduces him to baguettes or when Leland comes in singing and he and Jerry break out the celebratory dance moves.
* PetTheDog: When his daughter is taken hostage, Ben sends Cooper to make the drop, fully intending for him to die per the hostage negotiator's orders. He does also send Hank to follow them and while he wants Hank to bring back his money as well, Ben places the greater importance on his daughter's safety.
* SharpDressedMan: In contrast to the retro-'50s style that most of the town dresses in, Ben favors '80s patterned ties and double-breasted suits.
* SmugSnake: Ben Horne is more intelligent than most of Twin Peaks criminals but he's brought low by Cooper and Truman.
* TookALevelInKindness: He starts the show as a manipulative businessman and cheating husband who exploited the girls at One-Eyed Jack's for his personal enjoyment. [[spoiler: Twenty-five years later, he openly criticizes Jerry for lusting after his married secretary and is clearly uncomfortable when Jerry points out that "never used to stop you".]]
** In ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'' the Archivist notices that the shock of [[spoiler:Audrey getting seriously injured in the bank explosion]], caused a subtle, but profound change in Ben's behavior and outlook, leading him to gradually become a better and more caring person.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: Until he inherited his family's company.
* VillainDecay: You don't get much lower than an extended plotline where you think you're General Lee.
* VillainousBreakdown: Several episodes in the making, but he finally goes well and truly off the rails when [[spoiler:he loses One-Eyed Jack's]].
* WhatHaveIBecome: He asks himself this a few times, [[IgnoredEpiphany only to shrug it off again]]. It seems to finally have stuck after [[spoiler:Audrey got seriously injured in the bank explosion]].
* YourCheatingHeart: Possibly the biggest offender in the series. He's married to Sylvia but he has an affair with Catherine Martell, sees the prostitutes in One Eyed Jack, [[spoiler:was one of Laura's lovers]] and [[spoiler:is revealed to be Donna's real father at the end]].
!!Jerry Horne
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jerry_horne.PNG]]
->Played by: David Patrick Kelly
Ben Horne's sleazy brother. He actually doesn't have too big of a role in the show, but he occasionally helps Ben with his schemes.
-----
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Has become this to Ben by ''The Return'', which is hilarious as they're both over sixty.
* BigEater: He fell in love Brie-on-baguette sandwiches when he went to Paris on a business trip for Ben. He brings home no less than four of them and insists that Ben try one. As a rule, he winds up developing a taste for at least one exotic or unusual dish from every foreign country he's been to, and likes to tell people about them in great detail.
** With the legalization of marijuana in Washington State, Jerry's taken to producing and selling his own edibles. His first scene in the third season introduces him chowing down on his own recipe for cannabis banana bread.
* CasanovaWannabe: Jerry, like his brother, is obsessed with women but unlike Ben doesn't seem able to get any love that isn't paid for.
* CloudCuckooLander: Already showed shades of this in the original series, but as of the return has seemingly become one of the loopier residents of Twin Peaks, doubtless due to his implied heavy use of weed.
* DragonWithAnAgenda: Downplayed. When Ben starts losing his mind, Jerry considers using the situation to his advantage by going ahead with his own ventures until Audrey puts a stop to it. In spite of this Jerry is still concerned about his brother's mental health and is quite happy when he recovers.
* DumbassHasAPoint: Jerry isn't a very good lawyer, Coop notes he failed the Bar exam twice and graduated last in his class, but the advice he gives Ben when he's arrested [[spoiler:for Laura's murder]] is pretty sound (and his big plan is to get his brother a better lawyer). Mainly he keeps trying to stop Ben from [[DiggingYourselfDeeper yammering on and insulting everyone]] because he's just making himself look guilty, and everything he's saying can and will be used against him in court. Even when he gives the ultimatum: charge Ben or let him go... which results in them charging him; Jerry isn't in the wrong because that's just what the police have to do anyway.
** In ''The Return'' Jerry also notes that he's making three times what his brother does with the Great Northern hotel as a legal marijuana grower. It should be noted Ben is a ''millionaire.''
* EruditeStoner: Twenty five years after Season 2 he seems to have become one. By 2016, Jerry not only appears to be taking advantage of Ben's investment in the medical marijuana industry but his new favorite food is marijuana infused banana bread.
* {{Keet}}: Jerry tends to get very enthusiastic when he discovers something he finds new and exciting, usually some kind of food, dresses in colorful clothes, and is notably more animated and active in how he moves than his more subdued brother.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: When Ben is falsely accused of Laura Palmer's murder, his legal counsel is literally to get a better lawyer.
* MarijuanaIsLSD: In ''The Return'', either he actually took some acid or he found himself a strain of marijuana that's powerful enough to hallucinate his foot talking to him. [[TheCloudCookoolanderWasRight Either that or his leg has been possessed by one of the demons living in the woods. The latter is entirely possible and probably the likeliest explanation.]]
* NumberTwo: Of all Ben's associates, Jerry's the one who Ben confides in. Jerry acts as Ben's co-conspirator, and he's the one taking international trips to secure investors.
* ShadowArchetype: To his brother. He publicly displays all the traits Ben attempts to hide behind his everyday mask of sophistication, from flamboyance and quirkiness, up to womanizing and underhanded and aggressive business manners. This also shown in more obvious ways; where Ben is a SharpDressedMan who favors muted colors in his wardrobe, Jerry seems to attempt to always be dressed as bombastically as possible.
* SmugSnake: Is a villain in the fact he's a less effective and dumber version of his brother.
* TheStoner: In ''The Return'', where he now runs a legal marijuana dispensary and seems to be almost constantly high. By 2016, he greatly resembles the type of bearded, spaced out older guy you'd find at a Music/{{Phish}} concert.
* SunglassesAtNight: Wears these in ''The Return'' as part of his new stoner persona.
* ToxicFriendInfluence: As detailed under ShadowArchetype, Jerry embodies and brings out Ben's worst traits. [[spoiler: During the TimeSkip, Ben seems to have cut Jerry out of both the hotel business and most of his personal life, in his efforts at self-improvement.]] ** By ''The Return'' their relationship has settled into a stable but strained relationship where Jerry regularly shows up to bother a visibly annoyed Ben.
!!Johnny Horne
->Played by: Robert Davenport and Robert Bauer
[[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/johnny_horne.jpg]]
Audrey's mentally handicapped brother.
----
* AmbiguousDisorder: It is unclear exactly what Johnny suffers from, but it causes him to be a silent, childish shut-in that sometimes makes weird outbursts. [[spoiler:A DeletedScene reveals that Johnny actually has a perfectly normal brain and intelligence, and his behavior stems from a serious trauma he experienced early in life, and Dr. Jacoby is optimistic about the prospects of unearthing this trauma.]]
* InadequateInheritor: It is clear that Ben expected his sole son to take over the family business, and it disappoints him to no end that Johnny really is in no condition to do so.
* ManChild: As brought on by his condition. At the start of the series Johnny is "27 going on 6."
* SecurityBlanket: His Native American chief's headdress. Dr. Jacoby is able to convince him to take it off for Laura's funeral, but it takes much coaxing.
* ThereWasADoor: Dammit Johnny you're not the Kool-Aid man...
* {{Wallbonking}}: By the time of "The Return" this is what you risk whenever you let Johnny out.

[[folder:The Hurleys]]
!!"Big" Ed Hurley Jr.
->Played by: Everett [=McGill=]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bigednewpic.jpg]]
A local mechanic and junk dealer trapped in an unhappy marriage. He is James Hurley's uncle and Nadine's husband. He's in an adulterous relationship with Norma Jennings.
-----
* AwfulWeddedLife: Ed loves Nadine but in a manner which makes it clear his marriage is miserable.
* ChildhoodSweetheart: To Norma.
* CloserToEarth: He's incomparably more sensible and down to earth than his wife Nadine.
* HenpeckedHusband: He may not have it as bad as Pete, but he still gets his share of beleaguerment from Nadine and her antics.
* LoveTriangle: Is part of one of the central ones in the show with it briefly becoming a love square.
* MrFixit: Ed is noted to be quite the talented mechanic. In ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'', it is noted that his main childhood hobby was taking apart toasters and vacuum cleaners and then putting them back together again; in perfect working condition no less. Deputy Hawk writes that already in his teenage years, Ed could put a Volkswagen together blindfolded.
* MultipleChoicePast: Either married Nadine because Norma Jennings had married Hank Jennings while he was in Vietnam or because he put out Nadine's eye accidentally during a hunting expedition.
* NiceGuy: A Bookhouse Boy and doting uncle to James Hurley.
* QuestionableConsent: Sleeps with Nadine when she thinks she's seventeen.
* TheQuietOne: So quiet and slow to move on his feelings that Hawk believes it'll take him ''decades'' to get back with Norma in "The Secret History of Twin Peaks".
* SympatheticAdulterer: YMMV may vary on this given he continues his affair with Norma while also continuing it with Nadine.
* WillTheyOrWontThey: Throughout many episodes, it's very clear that he and Norma still have strong feelings for one another, but due to ending up with different people, they are constantly conflicted about whether acting on their feelings is the right thing to do. [[spoiler:Later in the second season, they start getting much closer again when they drift further apart from Hank and Nadine respectively because of newer developments such as Hank going back to jail and Nadine falling in love with Mike Nelson.]]
* YourCheatingHeart: Is cheating on his wife with Norma Jennings, though it's never clear how physical their relationship is.
** Keeps up his sexual relationship with Nadine [[{{Squick}} even when she thinks she's a teenager.]]
!!James Hurley
->Played by: James Marshall
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/twin_peaks_james_hurley.png]]
Big Ed's nephew. A Biker teen who lives with Ed and Nadine instead of his parents, who, he tells people, died in a car accident.
-----
* BettyAndVeronica: Gender inverted, he's the Betty to Laura Palmer while Bobby's the Veronica.
* CoolBike: Somewhat deconstructed: his bike makes him easily identifiable by both the police and people hoping to frame him for their own crimes. [[spoiler: It also, eventually, get him in a motorcycle accident.]]
* DiscoDan: A 50's greaser kid about 40 years too late, at least in fashion (though Twin Peaks is rather behind the times in most areas).
* GoodIsDumb: In ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'', Deputy Hawk notes that James is a nice kid, but notes that that he is often LateToThePunchline and has a serious problem with reading anything more complicated than children's books.
* TheDitz: Almost astonishingly stupid. As Laura Palmer says in one of her tapes, "James is sweet, but he's ''so dumb''."
* TheDrifter: Becomes one of these at the end of the series when he is PutOnABus.
* DullSurprise: James never seems to have much of a reaction to anything even when he is stunned or heartbroken.
* LikesOlderWomen: If [[spoiler:his affair with the 30-something Evelyn March]] is any indication...
* MoralityPet: For Laura Palmer in the prequel movie.
* NeverLearnedToRead: {{Downplayed| Trope}}. ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'' reveals that while he can read, his skills lacks ''way'' behind his age. Deputy Hawk describes how Big Ed had to struggle pretty hard even get him to that point, and latter sarcastically adds that even into his late teens, James' favorite book is still ''Literature/CharlottesWeb''.
* NiceGuy: Is one of the most decent people in ''Twin Peaks.''
* PutOnABus: Though, he seemed to came back to ''Twin Peaks'' during the TimeSkip between Seasons 2 and 3.
* RuleAbidingRebel: Aside from the fact he drives a motorcycle and works instead of getting a high school education, he is far nicer a boy than Bobby (a man sleeping with a married woman while dealing drugs) yet is considered the outlaw of the two.
* SingingVoiceDissonance: His normal voice is rather deep. His singing voice literally sounds like a woman.
* StarCrossedLovers: Has this sort of relationship with Laura Palmer. Averted with Donna as she has no opposition from her parents who can tell James is a NiceGuy. Ironically, this seems to actually hurt his relationship with Donna.
* TheQuietOne: Much like his uncle. Shelly notes he's gotten even more quiet [[spoiler: after his accident during the TimeSkip.]]
* TroubledButCute: Seems to be a high school drop out and from the wrong side of the tracks but is, otherwise, supportive and kind.
* YourCheatingHeart: Is the other man in Laura's life than her boyfriend. Also, develops feelings for Maddie that end up ruining his relationship with Donna.
!!Nadine Hurley
->Played by: Wendy Robie
[[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nadine_hurley.jpg]]
The one-eyed, drape-obsessed housewife of Big Ed Hurley.
-----
* AmbiguousDisorder: Accent on the ambiguous. In a town as quirky as Twin Peaks, it's hard to tell if Nadine's emotional issues and obsessiveness are due to having a condition of some sort or not. [[HollywoodPsych This is, of course, before she actually has amnesia that convinces her she's a high school senior against all evidence to the contrary.]]
* BadassNormal: She may not be connected to the supernatural ongoings in Twin Peaks, but her SuperStrength and overall athleticism come in handy from time to time.
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:She saves Ed when Hank tries to kill him.]]
* ConspiracyTheorist: Seems to be Doctor Jacobi's biggest fan in ''The Return.''
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Doesn't even begin to describe her!
* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:At the end of season 1, she tries to overdose on pills out of depression when she can't sell any of of her cotton balls since not many people are interested in silent drape-runners, which she had just created with them, hoping they would make her and Ed rich. Thankfully though, it only sends her into a coma, which she awakens from a few episodes later.]]
* DoesNotKnowHerOwnStrength: [[spoiler:When she awakens from her coma, she sees herself as a dainty teenager, but still has all her previous strength and athleticism from her adult life.]]
* EarnYourHappyEnding: During the decades long interval between Season 2 and ''The Return'' it seems that Nadine has accomplished her dream of opening a successful silent drape business, Run Silent, Run Drapes.
* EyepatchOfPower: Her most prominent physical feature, which goes great with her extreme physical strength
* FieryRedhead: Was subject to wild mood swings and had super-strength.
* GenkiGirl: [[spoiler:Post-coma in season 2, when she thinks that she's a teenager.]]
* LargeHam: Overreacts to the smallest things and is dramatic about everything from cheerleading to silent drapes.
* SelectiveObliviousness: A variant after her [[spoiler: coma]]. She admits that she knows about Ed and Norma's interest in each other and doesn't mind... as [[spoiler: Ed and Norma are naked, in bed with each other. Right in front of her.]]
* SuperStrength: She can effortlessly hurl a full-grown man over a whole sports field.
* WomanChild: [[spoiler:A [[JustifiedTrope justified]] example. For some strange reason, she awakens from her coma near the beginning of season 2 thinking she's still a teenager in high school, and therefore, has the mindset of and acts like one.]]
* WaifFu: She's certainly not built like someone of her strength at all. As Dr. Jacoby points out, "that tissue's packed in there pretty hard".

[[folder:The Jenningses]]
!!Hank Jennings
->Played by: Chris Mulkey
[[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hank_jennings.jpg]]
A ex-Bookhouse Boy and Twin Peaks most dangerous criminal. He is the recently paroled husband of Norma Jennings.
-----
* AmuletOfConcentratedAwesome: His domino key-chain.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Hank Jennings, unlike Leo, was actually quite good at keeping up an AffablyEvil front and pretending at a HeelFaceTurn. This did not last.
* BullyingADragon: Hank has this attitude as he's incapable of treating anyone who he has momentary advantage of as anything other than garbage. This includes very dangerous people like Josie Packard and Ben Horne. Ironically, it's his wife that proves to be the most dangerous dragon he bullies.
* BusCrash: [[spoiler:''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'' reveals he was fatally wounded in prison by a Renault relative.]]
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: To the point it actually serves as Hank Jenning's FatalFlaw. Hank turns on every single person he makes cause with as soon as something better comes along. The Bookhouse Boys, Josie, Ben Horne, Ernie, and more. As such, when his patron in Jean Renault is taken down, he's left with absolutely no one to turn to.
* TheDragon: To several villains throughout the series.
* FallenHero: Used to be a Bookhouse Boy. Truman grew up with him and thought he was one of their best, until he ended up in prison.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He's friendly enough in casual conversation when he's working at the diner... but as soon as people turn their backs, he lets his distaste for his customers slip. He also can't hide his dark side from his wife for long.
* KarmicDeath: As per ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'' [[spoiler: as he betrayed most of the town for Jean Renault, only to have the Renault family blame him for his death. They killed him in prison.]]
* LoserSonOfLoserDad: ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'' states that the town of Twin Peaks had viewed the Jenningses as losers and troublemakers for a long time. Notably, Hank's grandfather, Einer, was "amongst the leading candidates for town drunk" and his father, Emil, had already in his youth complied quite a rap sheet of various petty crimes and would eventually end up dying from passing out drunk in his bathtub and drowning.
* MightAsWellNotBeInPrisonAtAll: Had a very large number of contacts within the criminal underworld so that his prison stays were very comfortable. {{Subverted}} on his return when, according to ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'', he was killed by the Renault family.
* PoisonousFriend: He brings his former cellmate back into the criminal life within hours of meeting him, despite the man having found himself in a very cushy position as well as possessing no desire to return to crime.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: He attempted this, according to ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks''. [[spoiler: Knowing that he's pretty much doomed in prison, he wrote a full confession of his crimes and completely apologizes for betraying the trust of his friends and family.]] Its never made clear if anyone bought it.
* RelationshipSabotage: Hank had desired Norma throughout high school, despite her and Big Ed being very much in love with each other. When Big Ed went overseas for military service during the Vietnam War, Hank saw an opportunity to throw a kink in his and Norma's relationship, and took up a job at the Twin Peaks post office, and made sure that neither party saw any of the mail they attempt to send each other. With Norma thoroughly saddened that Ed never seemed to respond to any of her letters, Hank could then make his move and play the role as the nice, understanding friend with the shoulder to cry on.
* SmugSnake: While introduced as a much more dangerous criminal than Leo, he quickly found himself outsmarted at every turn.
* TheWorfEffect: He's introduced taking down Leo Johnson, one of the show's most brutal criminals at the time, to establish himself as a badass. This quickly turns on him when it's he who get's his ass handed to him to establish the strength of other characters like Mr. Kumagai or Nadine.
!!Norma Jennings

->Played by: Peggy Lipton
The long-suffering owner of the Double R Diner and lover of Big Ed Hurley. The wife of Hank Jennings.
-----
* BerserkButton: Being treated with disrespect, whether by Ed, Hank, or her mother.
* ChildhoodSweetheart: To Ed.
* CoolBigSis: She acts as one towards Shelly Johnson, and is a literal one to Annie Blackburn.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Breaking all ties with her mother over a bad review. {{Justified}} as it was the straw that broke the camel's back after a lifetime of neglect.
* TheDogBitesBack: Hank Jennings really shouldn't have crossed her.
* FanserviceWithASmile: She ''is'' played by Peggy Lipton after all.
* GreasySpoon: Runs her own diner.
* InsecureLoveInterest: According to ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'', this was part of the reason she and Ed never got together in their teens.
* TheMistress: Is unhappily one of these to Big Ed due to his unwillingness to leave Nadine.
* ParentalSubstitute: Gradually morphs into this for Shelly and her daughter by the time of ''The Return'' since Shelly remains as mature as she was during the original series.
* ParentalNeglect: She's estranged from her mother due to Mrs. Jennings' commitment to her job over Norma. When she makes it clear that she considers Norma "overly emotional" about the matter, Norma cut ties with her completely.
* WillTheyOrWontThey: Throughout many episodes, it's very clear that she and Ed still have strong feelings for one another, but due to ending up with different people, they are constantly conflicted about whether acting on their feelings is the right thing to do. [[spoiler:Later in the second season, they start getting much closer again when they drift further apart from Hank and Nadine respectively because of newer developments such as Hank going back to jail and Nadine falling in love with Mike Nelson.]]

->Played by: Eric Da Re
The abusive husband of Shelly Johnson and the local drug dealer.
-----
* TheAggressiveDrugDealer: Well... sort of. He is aggressive and does sell drugs to high school kids, but they seek him out to buy them.
** Although, at the point of the sales, he doesn't do things by halves, and will straight-up threaten to kill his customers unless they fulfill their end of the deal.
* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:Sort of; despite his horrible treatment of Shelly, Leo shows obvious concern when Windom Earle states that he might kill her, and later tries multiple times to stop Earle's plans. His poor mental state doesn't allow him to do much, but he does manage to free Major Briggs so that the latter could help Shelly.]]
* AxCrazy: He takes this trope to a literal degree when [[spoiler:he awakens from his coma in the middle of season 2 and the first thing he tries to do is murder Shelly with an ax.]]
* BiTheWay: His Flesh World ad mentions being open to encounters with men.
* TheBrute: A violent thuggish man who abuses his wife and intimidates everyone around him. [[TheWorfEffect Except Hank Jennings.]]
* CrazyJealousGuy: When he finds out that Shelly has been having an affair with Bobby, he tries to ''murder'' both of them even though he generally treats Shelly horribly and doesn't really give her a reason to love him to begin with.
* ButtMonkey: [[spoiler:In the second season.]]
* ConvenientComa: Well, he does clearly [[spoiler:have some brain damage, but it's only convenient for some, who would have preferred him dead]].
* HateSink: Leo is a drug dealer, domestic abuser, and all around {{jerkass}}. Viewers ''will'' loathe him.
* {{Jerkass}}: You ''will'' want to punch his punchable face.
* RedHerring: Despite his sadism, violence, [[spoiler:frequent cold-blooded killing]] and [[spoiler:being present at the scene of her murder]], Leo [[spoiler:did not kill Laura Palmer]].
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:Releases Major Briggs from captivity so he can warn Shelly. Windom Earle leaves him in a situation he's highly unlikely to have survived.]]
* VillainDecay: Leo has the bad luck of being the absolute middle man. Terrifying to the teenagers who are dabbling, easily manipulated by the real powers in Series/TwinPeaks.
* TheWorfEffect: Hank Jennings easily beats him up and intimidates him into submission. Windom Earle does the same.
!!Shelly Johnson[[spoiler: /Briggs]]

->Played by: Mädchen Amick
A waitress at the Double R diner and wife to Leo. [[spoiler: Later, she married Bobby Briggs.]]
-----
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Though she seems to be getting better with each try, from the downright abusive Leo, to the unstable and short-tempered Bobby, to... Gordon Cole.
* AmicableExes: [[spoiler: As revealed in ''The Return'', she and Bobby got married... and it didn't last, though she still carries his last name and they still seem to get along, at least where their daughter is concerned.]]
* AuthorAppeal: She kisses Gordon Cole, played by David Lynch himself. Cue CrowningMomentOfFunny when her boyfriend, Bobby, comes in.
-->'''Bobby:''' What the hell is going on?!\\
'''Gordon Cole''': YOU ARE WITNESSING A FRONT THREE-QUARTER VIEW OF TWO ADULTS SHARING A TENDER MOMENT. ''(to Shelly)'' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Acts like he's never seen a kiss before.]]\\
'''Dale Cooper''': Uh, Gordon...\\
'''Gordon Cole''': ''(to Bobby)'' TAKE ANOTHER LOOK, SONNY! IT'S GONNA HAPPEN AGAIN.
* DomesticAbuse: Her husband forces her to do all the chores, beats her with a soap in a sock at one point, and is deeply jealous.
* FanserviceWithASmile: Works as a waitress in Norma's diner.
* MsFanservice: Not as much as Audrey, but she has her moments. And being played by Mädchen Amick doesn't hurt.
* SmokingIsCool: Though in her case, with her stress load, it makes sense.
* SympatheticAdulterer: Considering that Leo is an abusive husband and not faithful himself.

-----
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Is having an affair with Ben Horne.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: [[spoiler:Despite often holding Pete in contempt and regarding him as a "soft, old fool", her planting a big, wet kiss on him when she reveals herself to him in her Mr. Tojamura disguise, shows that she does have some genuine affection for him.]]
* BigBadWannabe: Catherine isn't nearly as on the ball as she thinks since Ben Horne and [[spoiler: Josie Packard]] both run rings around her.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: She gives Ben Horne a serious run for his money.
* EvilRedhead: Catherine Martell was told to basically vamp it up like a soap opera villainess.

[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Pete_Martell_561.jpg]]
->Played by: Jack Nance
The Packard Lumber Mill manager and a fishing enthusiast. He is also a chess grandmaster.
-----
* {{Adorkable}}: His love of fishing, affable demeanor, and lack of ambition put him at odds with everyone else's scheming. Especially his wife's.
* AwfulWeddedLife: {{Downplayed| Trope}}. He describes Catherine as "plain hell to live with", and finds it hard to cope with her ruthless, stubborn, and generally unpleasant nature, which runs counter to his own docile and kind demeanor. Despite this, he is shown to hold some kind of genuine (though mostly nostalgic) affection for her though, most notably he is quite torn up about [[spoiler:her apparent death]].
* ButtMonkey: A DownplayedTrope example as Pete is liked by everyone in town ''but'' his wife. However, he gets almost no respect despite being a hardworking plant manager, talented fisherman, and amateur chess master.
* TheCharacterDiedWithHim: [[spoiler:''The Secret History of Twin Peaks reveals that he died in the bank explosion at the end of the season 2 finale, as Jack Nance died in 1996, 5 years after the season 2 finale aired.]]
* CoolOldGuy: In a friendly, kinda-dorky way.
* HenPeckedHusband: Catherine just won't cut the guy a break.
-->She was plain hell to live with.
* HeroicSacrifice : [[spoiler:''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'' also reveals he shielded Audrey from the blast with his body.]]
* HiddenDepths: Pete actually proves to be an avid and very talented chess player. [[spoiler:He uses these skills to help Cooper against Windom Earle]].
* NiceGuy: One of the nicest in the series.
* NoodleIncident: How ''did'' the fish get in the coffee pot?
* SmartPeoplePlayChess: A remarkable chess player, he aids Agent Cooper in the game against Windom Earle. At one point he plays three simultaneous games of chess and wins ''all'' of them.
* TokenGoodTeammate: In season 2, when Catherine, Josie, and [[spoiler:Andrew]] are all working/manipulating each other against Eckhardt or Horne, Pete's the most moral of them and mostly just goes along because they're all family.

[[folder:The Milfords]]
!!Mayor Dwayne Milford
->Played by: John Boylan
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/twin_peaks_milford_6.png]]
The liberal Mayor of Twin Peaks. He has a long-standing feud with his brother.
-----
* DirtyOldMan: [[spoiler: Hooks up with his brother's wife after his death.]]
* TheDutifulSon: ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'' describes him as such, following in his father's footsteps and taking over the family pharmacy business, in contrast to his brother, Douglas, who was seen as a rebellious troublemaker.
* RevengeBeforeReason: His desire to avenge his brother dying of sexual intercourse in his late seventies with a much-much younger woman. [[spoiler: ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'' says he's probably right.]]
** [[spoiler: Subverted when he ends up with Lana himself.]]
* SiblingRivalry: Dwayne is a Democrat and at least something of a liberal by the standards of a town full of rural whites. He and his more conservative brother hold an exactly opposite set of political views.
* SiblingYinYang: With Douglas. Made especially clear in ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks''. Dawyne is described as always calm and reliable, even under pressure, and is seen as a pillar of the community, while Douglas is HotBlooded and impulsive, and is seen as a troublemaker. It even extends to their political views.
* StrawPolitical: His outrage at his brother's defense of Nixon in ''The Secret History Of TwinPeaks.''
!!Douglas "Dougie" Milford
->Played by: Creator/TonyJay
[[quoteright:267:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/milford.png]]
A former political ally of Richard Nixon and TheMenInBlack. He is mostly known in the series as the head of the local paper and for his feud with Mayor Milford.
-----
* AllThereInTheManual: ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'' spells out the details of his bizarre and adventurous backstory. Specifically, among other things, that he founded TheMenInBlack and was aware of the supernatural. Oh and he was a friend with Nixon.
* BlackSheep: ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'' describes him as this to the Milford family, being a rebellious troublemaker where his brother, Dawyne was TheDutifulSon.
* ConspiracyTheorist: In ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'', he proffers up a paranoid-sounding explanation for Nixon's impeachment involving a conspiracy against him. [[spoiler: His own experiences]] certainly factor into this, but his defense of Nixon in Twin Peaks' local paper swerves into the downright paranoid.
* DirtyOldMan: If the ''vast'' collection of sexual paraphernalia in his bedroom is any indication.
* OutWithABang: He has a fatal heart attack upon consummating his marriage to Lana.
* TheMenInBlack: [[spoiler:''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'' implies that he was the cause of the creation of this trope in-universe during his time as a government spook.]]
* NoSuchAgency: ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'' reveals [[spoiler: his direct involvement in a project involving [=UFOs=] and alien encounters, as a direct confidante of President Richard Nixon]].
* SiblingRivalry: He and Dwayne are 100% opposed on politics: Dwayne is a Democrat and a liberal and Doug is a Republican and a conservative.
* SiblingYinYang: With Dawyne. Made especially clear in ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks''. Douglas had a knack for getting into trouble in his youth, is prone to act on his impulses, and has quite the temper, where Dwayne is described by his peers as always calm and reliable, even in stressful situations. It even extends to their political views.
* SirSwearsALot: Though it is downplayed in ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'', Douglas has a notable tendency to casually drop profanity in his speech. When he appears on list of witness statements on UFO sightings, the other people on the list describe their encounters with [=UFOs=] in technical therms, using measurements to describe the size and speed of the objects when asked for details, Douglas describes the object he saw as "big as a f*** house" and "fast as s***".
* StrawPolitical: Is such a hardline Republican that he devotes an entire front page op-ed to insisting Nixon's impeachment was a conspiracy rather than a genuine resolution to corruption charges.
!!Lana Budding Milford
->Played by: Robyn Lively
[[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lana.jpg]]
The lovely widow of Douglas Milford and a woman who briefly menaces Twin Peaks' male population.
-----
* CartwrightCurse: Claims to be this rather than a BlackWidow. Its never made clear if she's telling the truth [[spoiler: in spite of Briggs' suspicions.]]
* HelloNurse: An extremely beautiful nurse.
* HeroesWantRedheads: Considering how Coop, Truman, Andy, and Hawk react when around her...
* HoneyTrap: [[spoiler:Briggs, the in-universe writer of ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'', suspects her of being a assassin who actually didn't marry Douglas for his money, but to get close to and kill him, speculating that she was hired by someone from Douglas' political past who thought [[HeKnowsTooMuch He Knew Too Much]]. Briggs, however, also notes that he has absolutely no way of proving this.]]
* GoldDigger: Pretty clearly.
* InformedAttractiveness: Whether you find her attractive or not, it's ''very'' difficult to say in all honesty that she's as attractive as ''every male in Twin Peaks'' finds her.
* SettleForSibling: After her husband Dougie dies, she gets engaged to Dwayne, his brother. That's kinda gross. [[spoiler:''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'' reveals that it ultimately didn't last and she left Twin Peaks for good about six months later.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Packards]]
!!Andrew Packard
->Played by: Dan [=O'Herlihy=]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/andrew_1.jpg]]
The former owner of the Packard Lumber Mill. He is the late husband of Josie Packard and brother of Catherine Martell.
-----
* AffablyEvil: He's as shifty as his sister but unfailingly polite to everyone.
* BestFriendsInLaw: In a stark contrast to Catherine, he and Pete were quite chummy. At one point when serving breakfast the pair fool around with the food and Catherine grumpily notes that they bring out the worst in each other.
* FakingTheDead: Though the series starts with him having been dead in a boating accident (set up by Hank), the series drops a number of hints that he may still be alive. [[spoiler:Ultimately he reveals that this was the case as he and his sister faked his death]].
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler: Dying at the hands of Eckhardt's ThanatosGambit is a good fate for someone so confident in his intelligence. Shame about Pete, though.]]
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler: His treatment of Josie is rotten even if she did try to kill him.]]
* ALighterShadeOfBlack: His conflict with Eckhardt is clear EvilVsEvil but of the two Andrew comes off as more personable and has more PetTheDog moments than Eckhardt.
* MayDecemberRomance: He was much older than Josie when they married.
* PetTheDog:
** Andrew may be a corrupt and amoral man but even he has a soft spot for Pete and the two have a strong brotherly relationship. Even when he and Catherine start to go against each other he still trusts Pete and lets him in on his schemes. [[spoiler:Which unfortunately get the pair killed]].
** He admits an admiration for Audrey's protest when he encounters her, complimenting her for sticking to her principles.
* PosthumousCharacter: Is originally believed to have died at some point before the start of the series. [[spoiler:Not really.]]
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: [[spoiler: Gives one to Josie before saying they will never speak again.]]
* SmugSnake: Thinks he's got everyone wrapped around his finger but really just coasts along on Catherine's plans.
!!Jocelyn Packard
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/josie_packard.PNG]]
->Played by: Creator/JoanChen
The beautiful Chinese American widow of Andrew Packard and current owner of the Packard Lumber Mill. She is currently lovers with Sheriff Harry S. Truman.
-----
* AmbiguouslyEvil: The show constantly zig-zags between Josie being an innocent victim ForcedIntoEvil and a ManipulativeBitch. We never get a clear answer up until [[spoiler: she dies.]]
* BiTheWay: ''The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer'' [[spoiler:reveals that she was one of Laura's lovers while Laura was her English tutor]].
* ConsummateLiar: Assuming she was faking her fear of David Eckhardt or at least playing it up, she fools everyone in Twin Peaks except [[spoiler: Cooper.]]
* DaddysLittleVillain: ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'' reveals that [[spoiler:her father was [[TheTriadsAndTheTongs a high ranking "Red Pole" in the Sui-wong triad]], and she clearly took after dear old dad, even in her youth. Already by the age of ''sixteen'', she was running a prostitution and drug ring out of the prestigious boarding school she studied at, while blackmailing several members of said school's staff, both in the administration and the faculty]].
* DidNotThinkThisThrough: Throws herself on the mercy of Catherine Martell [[spoiler: and her brother Andrew]]. She would have had more luck with Harry S. Truman and Coop. Hell, even Pete.
* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler: Josie kills David Eckhardt the moment she's alone with him.]]
* DragonLady: Possibly subverted in that she doesn't have nearly the self-assuredness one would expect from the trope. [[spoiler:Her chief motivation is simply survival as she is manipulated and bullied by almost everyone in her life (except Pete and Sheriff Truman).]]
** Played straight as an arrow in ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'', [[spoiler:which reveals her real identity as Li Chun Fung, daughter of a Chinese gangster and a ferocious criminal in her own right, building up a multimillion-dollar fortune through drug and prostitution rings by the age of 21 and fleeing to America after her plan to assassinate her own father and take over his position went awry.]]
* DrivenToSuicide: WordOfGod was that she would have shot herself but they couldn't do it on camera. [[spoiler: So BOB and the Arm kills her instead.]]
* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: is trapped in a desk knob in the Great Northern hotel and according to Deleted Scenes the Black Lodge.]]
* FemmeFatale: Zig-zagged as she seems to be one then turns kind and shy then is back to being a FemmeFatale.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Is Josie a victim? Evil? Both?
* LovableTraitor: Does a lot of shady stuff and even tries to kill Catherine Martell but no one seems to treat any of this as a big deal.
* MissingMom: ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'' reveals that [[spoiler:her mother was a prostitute who died from a drug overdose shortly after her birth]].
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Cooper never suspected Josie was EvilAllAlong or had any reason to go after him [[spoiler: until she shot him.]]
* TheVamp: Has sex with Andrew Packard, David Eckhardt, Sheriff Harry S. Truman, and Laura Palmer.
* VillainsDoTheDirtyWork: [[spoiler: After she kills David Eckhardt, she is killed by BOB and the Arm.]]
* WhyNotJustShootHim: Averted. Except, she had the profoundly bad luck of being across the hall from Agent Cooper [[spoiler: when she killed David Eckhardt.]]
* WoundedGazelleGambit: Pretty much her only trick aside from being TheVamp.
* YourSoulIsMine: Later in the second season, [[spoiler:BOB apparently steals and [[FateWorseThanDeath traps her soul]] [[AndIMustScream in a dresser doorknob at the Great Northern]] [[MindScrew or something like that]]]].

[[folder: Other Twin Peaks residents]]
!!Harold Smith
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Harold-Portal_3073.jpg]]
->Played by: Lenny Von Dohlen
Harold Smith is an orchid grower a close friend of Laura Palmer, who she met through working for the Meals-on-Wheels program. Harold [[{{Hikikomori}} never leaves his home]] as a result of having agoraphobia (a fear of open spaces). Near the start of the second season, Donna Hayward befriends him in an attempt to get answers and discovers that Laura gave him her diary before her murder. When Harold finds out that Donna is trying to steal the diary, he [[FreakOut goes insane]] and soon [[DrivenToSuicide hangs himself]], leaving a suicide note which reads ""J'ai une âme solitaire." (French for "I am a lonely soul."). Cooper and the Twin Peaks police use the diary to help find the identity of Laura's killer.
-----
* {{Adorkable}}: Donna quickly takes a liking to him after meeting him, as he might be quite awkward and shy, but he is also very polite, friendly, and has a poetic mind.
* TheConfidant: To Laura.
* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:Donna's betrayal leads him to hang himself.]]
* DyingAlone: ""J'ai une âme solitaire."
* FreakOut: Gets hit HARD with this when [[spoiler:he finds out Donna's been tricking him to get Laura's diary]].
* {{Hikikomori}}: Due to having agoraphobia. The guy cannot physically leave his house with suffering a crippling panic attack.
* NiceGuy: Despite his inherent uneasiness around people, he is quite friendly and polite. [[spoiler:At least until he [[FreakOut completely snaps]] when he finds out about Donna's betrayal]].
* PrettyBoy: A feminine and gentle but still handsome young man.
!!Dick Tremayne
->Played by: Ian Buchanan
[[quoteright:330:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1xrdmqst8rcjw4fg5aww_400x400.jpeg]]
Dick Tremayne runs the clothing department at Horne's Department Store and was in an on-and-off relationship with Lucy Moran.
-----
* BritishStuffiness: A goofier example.
* CampStraight
* TheDandy
* FakeBrit: In-universe, it's heavily implied that he adopts the British accent purely to make himself appear cultured and interesting compared to the other townsfolk. Most damning of all is Dr Hayward's throwaway comment that he was the physician in attendance at Dick's birth - meaning that Dick is almost certainly, in fact, a native of Twin Peaks.
** Averted in that Ian Buchanan is actually British, though since he's specifically ''Scottish'' he's most likely not using his natural accent for the UpperClassTwit Dick, who's clearly going for [[IAmVeryBritish Southern-RP English]].
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite his shortcomings, he's not a bad guy.
* MeaningfulName: Any time he fails to be useful or responsible, Lucy will put extra emphasis on calling him "Dick".
* OddFriendship: Of all people, he and ''Andy'' bond over trying to learn about Little Nicky's past, despite their rivalry for Lucy's affections.
* SharpDressedMan: Well, he ''does'' run a men's clothing department.
* SmallNameBigEgo
* UpperClassTwit
!!Dr. Lawrence Jacoby
->Played by: Russ Tamblyn
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jacobynew.jpg]]
The eccentric psychologist who treated Laura Palmer for her many issues before falling in love with her.
-----
* ArtisticLicenseMedicine: Mental health version. Everything about how treats his patients save Johnny Horne. The fact he knew about Laura's many issues (which included active illegal activity) is especially noteworthy.
* BeyondTheImpossible: By 2016, Jacoby has a genuine chance of surpassing the Log Lady as the biggest CloudCuckooLander in all of Twin Peaks.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: In a town of weirdos who are great at their job, Doctor Jacoby is an awful-awful psychologist. Zig-Zagged as he does help Johnny Horne prepare for the funeral of Laura Palmer and cure Ben Horne's insanity.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Dr. Jacoby was born in Hawaii and has had an obsession with the place all his life, dressing in tropical shirts and decorating his entire home with Polynesian kitsch. Taken UpToEleven in ''The Return'', where he's a ConspiracyTheorist with his own podcast/pirate radio show who sells spray painted "shit digging shovels" for 29.99 a pop.
* CoolShades: He almost always wears a pair of 3D glasses. Twenty five years later in Season 3 he's shown to wear them even under larger sunglasses!
* ConspiracyTheorist: An overtly humorous example in ''The Return''. He runs a pirate radio station in which he advocates naturopathic medicine and anti-GMO conspiracy theories as a lead-in to making a pitch for his shovel business.
** Notable for the fact TheMenInBlack, TheFairFolk, TheSyndicate, as well as an FBI conspiracy all exist in this universe. Yet, ''nothing'' Jacoby says is true.
* JerkassBall: He frequently switches between trying to be genuinely helpful and acting extremely insensitive and dismissive. One particular example is after Laura's funeral, where he guiltily confesses to Cooper that he doesn't care about his patients, but wants to help find Laura's killer. He then proceeds to completely fail to offer anything of value and secretly keeps Laura's necklace for himself, rather than hand it over as evidence. In ''The Return'', he is an exploitative con man using a conspiracy podcast to get gullible townspeople to buy his overpriced painted shovels.
* HigherUnderstandingThroughDrugs: ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'' discusses the fact that he has always had an interest in tribal views on mental illnesses, and he would spend a good part of his youth seeking out various isolated tribes in South America and attempting to gain insight in how they understood the human mind by partaking in their rituals. Naturally, quite a few of these rituals involved the use of strong psychoactive drugs, and Jacoby insists in his journals that he is much the wiser for having gone through these experiences.
* ItAmusedMe: Doctor Jacoby seems to actively enjoy feeding his patient's neuroses like encouraging Ben Horne to act like General Lee and having Nadine enroll in high school. Given he confesses to Cooper he doesn't care about any of his patients, this is almost certainly deliberate. Also, he looks terribly amused whenever his patients are having complete breakdowns.
* LargeHam: Gets ''really'' worked up while doing his radio show, often letting loose a ClusterFBomb for good measure.
* MakingASpectacleOfYourself: he always wears a pair of 3D glasses.
* TheStoner: According to ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'' and ''The Return'', he has been living a stoner lifestyle for a while, which [[CloudCuckooLander explains a lot]].
* UglyGuyHotWife: Dr. Jacoby isn't so much "ugly" as he is quirky and unattractive. However, he's married to a pretty Hawaiian woman who seems to be a [[MayDecemberRomance couple years younger than him]].
* WorstAid: Doctor Jacoby is probably one of the worst psychologists in the world. His handling of just about everyone in the show is comically terrible.
!!Margaret "The Log Lady" Lanterman
[[quoteright:210:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/210px-Log_Lady_6578.jpg]]
->Played by: Catherine E. Coulson
Probably the most unusual of the Twin Peaks townsfolk, ([[QuirkyTown which is]] [[EccentricTownsfolk saying a lot]]). Margaret Lanterman, a/k/a "The Log Lady", is an [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} eccentric]] recluse who lives in a cabin in the forest. She is always seen carrying a [[CompanionCube log]] (hence her nickname), which is implied to either contain the spirit of her dead lumberjack husband or, as of ''Fire Walk With Me'', to serve as a link to him in the Black Lodge -- though she never voices either theory outright and is implied to be forbidden from doing so. Because of this, the other townsfolk think she's crazy. She was with Laura five days before her murder. Also, her husband is Jurgen Prochnow.
-----
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Hoo boy... She sticks out in Twin Peaks for this.
* CompanionCube: Her log.
* ConsultingMisterPuppet: She frequently defers to her log when questioned.
* HugeSchoolgirl: She was noted to be quite tall for her age in Elementary School, and was a bit awkward as a result.
* IWasQuiteALooker: She was noted to be very pretty in her youth. Her old friend, Robert Jacoby, described her as a borderline StatuesqueStunner back in the day.
* OddFriendship: By 2016, she seems to have formed one with Hawk.
* MadOracle: She's a more benign form of this, but is definitely strange and tends to speak in omens.
* NonSequitur: "Wait for the tea. The fish aren't running."[[note]]There was a trout in the coffee, but the tea would have taken longer to make.[[/note]]
* TouchedByVorlons: ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'' reveals her weirdness might have been a result having been the victim of what appears to be an alien abduction in her childhood. It is implied that, other than her strange quirks, the incident left her with some strange kind of pre-cognition.
* WidowedAtTheWedding: Her husband, Sam, was a volunteer firefighter, and unluckily enough, a forest fire started during the newly wed couple's wedding reception. Sam quickly left the reception along with the rest of the brigade to fight it; he didn't make it back.
!!The Waiter
->Played by Hank Worden
A mysterious figure who works at the Great Northern Hotel.
-----
* CaptainOblivious: Ignores Agent Cooper having been shot when he tries to clean his room.
* CloudCuckoolander: Has extremely odd behavior possibly related to his old age. [[spoiler: Is actually the Giant in disguise.]]
* GoodLuckGesture: Compliments a mortally wounded Cooper, winks and gives him a thumbs up three times.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Is he another spirit of the Black Lodge or is he really just some senile elderly waiter? He appears to Cooper in the Red Room during the last episode before being replaced by the Giant who say's "One and the same," so make of that what you will.
** [[spoiler: The two are not necessarily mutually contradictory as the spirits of the Lodges need bodies to possess.]]
* WhamLine: [[spoiler: "That gum you like is going to come back in style."]]
!!Mike Nelson
->Played by: Gary Hershberger
A football player for Twin Peaks high school and Donna Hayward's boyfriend (before she dumps him for James).
-----
* {{Jerkass}}: He has almost no personality traits except being unpleasant to people as well as being Bobby's sidekick.
* JerkJock: Incredibly jerkish to almost everyone he meets. Also, a football player.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Even when he starts becoming interested in [[spoiler: Nadine]] he's still a ass. Notable when he calls in Steven in ''The Return'' 25 years later just to chew him out.
* LikesOlderWomen: [[spoiler:Eventually falls for Nadine in the second season]].
* NamesTheSame: Not that other [[{{Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000}} Mike Nelson]].
* OlderAndWiser: In ''The Return'' much like his friend Bobby, twenty five years after Season 2 Mike seems to have matured into a respectable member of society. A DownplayedTrope example as he's still an incredible {{Jerkass}}.
* OnlySaneMan: While not exactly a rational kid, his problems revolve more around getting laid and his reputation at school than the murder mysteries and get rich schemes of his friends.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Forms this with Bobby, with whom he is usually seen together.
[[/folder]]
!! The Return
[[folder: New Twin Peaks Residents]]
!!Red
-> Played by: Balthazar Getty
A neurotic gangster with a penchant for odd magic tricks.
----
* AffablyEvil: Will calmly threaten to saw open your skull and eat your brains right before he shows off his nifty coin trick.
* AllGirlsWantBadGuys: Especially if their husband is a pillar of the community and too much of a good guy to do anything about Red's apparent homewrecker status. [[spoiler:Shelly can attest to this, much to Bobby's disdain.]]
* AmbiguousDisorder: Moves his muscles in odd ways, claiming a problem with his liver.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Despite his eccentricities, he's a competent and intimidating criminal.
* {{Expy}}: Like Mr. Eddy in ''LostHighway'', he definitely has a [[Film/BlueVelvet Frank Booth]] lite thing going on.
* ImpossiblyAwesomeMagicTrick: Uses an odd coin trick to bewilder and intimidate rivals and potential recruits.
* WickedCultured: Really, what other gangbanger besides Red would talk about a Rogers and Hammerstein play while making convincingly sharp threats on your life?
!!Wally Brando
->Played by: Creator/MichaelCera
The son of [[spoiler: Andy and Lucy Brennan]], born during the TimeSkip.
----
* CloudCuckooLander: "My shadow is always with me..."
* CoolBike: Much like James, he's a biker.
* InTheBlood: [[spoiler: If Dick is his biological father, he's certainly inherited his quirk of always affecting an unusual accent.]]
* LoonyFan: He seems to be completely obsessed with Marlon Brando. He speaks almost exclusively in a Creator/MarlonBrando Godfather voice and even renamed himself "Brando".
* WhosYourDaddy: [[spoiler: He looks like Andy and Lucy's kid, but in his first and only appearance so far he definitely gives off a Dick Tremayne vibe with the interesting fashion sense and weird self imposed accent.]]
!!Rebecca "Becky" Burnett
->Played by: Creator/AmandaSeyfried
Shelly's [[spoiler: and Bobby's]] daughter. A young woman in Twin Peaks who ends up marrying a really sketchy and flaky guy named Steven.
----
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: "She's with the wrong guy!"
* TheDogBitesBack: Finally snaps and goes after her husband with a gun.
* DrugsAreBad: While ''The Return'' is not quite as moralizing as the original run, we're still treated to seeing Becky getting high and acting loopy.
* GenerationXerox: She inherited her mother's taste for marrying lazy sleazeballs.
!!Steven Burnett
->Played by: Caleb Landry Jones
Becky's husband. Established to be an unemployable drug addict who can somehow afford designer drugs and a car.
----
* AddledAddict: He and Becky's main date activity seems to be getting high out of their gourd on designer drugs. His lack of day-to-day functionality is shown during his disaster of a job interview.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Becky falls for Steven, a flaky drug addict who drives around Twin Peaks in his CoolCar and can't find a job.
* BastardBoyfriend: Where do we start? First, his insistence on getting his wife high and addicted and his stubborn refusal to contribute to society definitely mark him as this. And then his insistence on screaming out and threatening to beat Becky for not being enough of a breadwinner to support him while he's unemployed. Yeah, this guy is kinda no good.
* MeaningfulName: "Burnett" doesn't sound that much different from "Burn Out."
* TheSlacker: His laziness, only exacerbated by substance abuse, shows up all too clearly in his job interview with Mike Nelson's company.
* YourCheatingHeart: [[spoiler:His affair with Gersten Hayward drives Becky crazy in episode 11]].
!! Richard Horne
->Played by: Eamon Farren
A sleazy relative of Ben, Jerry, and Audrey Horne.
-----
* AccidentalMurder: A bad day interacting with Red leads to one. ''Whoops''.
* TheAggressiveDrugDealer: Much like Leo Johnson in the first season.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: At least until they make the switch from "rebellious smoker" to "groping rapist."
* AxCrazy: He's violently unstable and prone to fits of explosive rage, and is in all likelihood a sociopath.
* BerserkButton: Resents being called "kid" and generally not being taken seriously.
* BlackSheep: Seems to be hated by the rest of his family, judging by the fact that his grandmother immediately demands that he leave after he pulls into her driveway. Given his behavior ''immediately'' after that, it's more than justified.
* CountryMatters: Calls his ''grandmother'' this after breaking into her house, choking her out, and robbing her. [[HateSink Are you starting to get the idea of this guy yet?]]
* DestroyTheEvidence: Bribes [[spoiler: Chad]] to withhold the letter sent by Miriam to the Twin Peaks' Sheriff's Department telling them she witnessed his AccidentalMurder of a child. [[spoiler: Chad withholds the evidence, but doesn't destroy it, possibly so that he has blackmail material on Richard for later if Richard double crosses him]].
* DirtyCoward: Is easily intimidated by anyone who isn't a child, old woman, smaller young woman, or obviously not-dangerous.
* EnfantTerrible: Strongly implied to have been just as much of a bad guy early on in life as he is by the time of ''The Return''.
--> '''Ben Horne:''' "That boy was ''never'' right!"
* GenerationXerox: The Hornes are established as one of Twin Peaks' most entitled families, and he is no exception.
* HairTriggerTemper: He reacts poorly when things don't go his way, and generally displays a very impulsive, violent personality.
* HateSink: At the rate he's going he's going to have his own page soon. He's an all-around {{Jerkass}}. How else is the audience supposed to react to him during his EstablishingCharacterMoment? And THEN in his third scene he remorselessly mows down a kid while high on cocaine! As if none of that's bad enough, he attempts to murder a schoolteacher, then beats up and robs his grandmother all while threatening to bring harm to the mentally disabled Johnny. Jesus, Lynch, we get it: the guy's a [[MeaningfulName dick]].
* ItsAllAboutMe: When he runs down a child with his car, his only thought is how to evade capture by the cops.
* {{Jerkass}}: To put it very mildly.
* MeaningfulName: Much like the other "Richard" in the series, this guy is a dick.
* NeverMyFault: He blamed the child for running out into the street when he hit him.
* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: We know this guy is scum when he starts groping a woman at the bar and demands to have sex with her whether she wants it or not.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Much like Ben Horne, but taken UpToEleven. Pays a hefty bribe to continue smoking in a non-smoking area.
* ShoutOut: After he dishes out the swearing and misogyny you begin to wonder if [[Film/BlueVelvet he enjoys Pabst Blue Ribbon too]].
* SirSwearsALot: Tends to let loose whenever he gets angry, which is often.
* SmokingIsCool: His rebellious nature attracts a nearby young woman over to his table. He then proceeds to act disturbingly rapey.
* SmugSnake: He acts tough, but when he's up against real serious criminals like Red, he's easily cowed and intimidated.
* TheSociopath: No empathy for anyone, is AxCrazy, and will happily brutalise his own family as well as run down a kid whilst high on cocaine.
* WhosYourDaddy: His parents are never stated, but [[spoiler:it is strongly implied he is the [[ChildByRape offspring]] of Cooper's doppelganger and Audrey Horne, but nothing is for sure.]]
* WouldHitAGirl: Beats a local school teacher to death after she threatens to go to the police to report him for manslaughter, and ''then'' shows up at his grandmother's house to hit her and then rob her! ''Not'' a nice guy.
* WouldHurtAChild: Doesn't really try to stop or even slow down when a child is crossing the street, and when he hits and kills him his main concern is for the police attention it'll bring him.

[[folder: Mr. C and his Gang (SPOILERS)]]
!! Mr. C/Cooper/The Doppelganger
->Played by: Creator/KyleMacLachlan
An evil doppelganger of Dale Cooper created when Agent Cooper entered the Black Lodge in the Season 2 finale. The Doppelganger chased after Cooper in the Lodge and returned to reality in Cooper's place while also serving as a vessel for BOB to possess. Sociopathic, perverted and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking garishly dressed]], he's an EvilCounterpart to the morally pure Cooper in just about every sense. Spends the quarter century between Season 2 and 3 spreading violence and murder wherever he goes, collecting garmonbozia for BOB and himself.
----
* AmbiguousSituation: Given the very last scene of Season 2 seemed to heavily imply that Cooper was now possessed by BOB in the same manner as Leland, many believed that the Doppelganger was BOB himself in Cooper's original body. Episode 5 of ''The Return'' features a scene with the Doppelganger [[OnceMoreWithClarity flashing back to the scenes of BOB and the Doppelganger cackling in the Black Lodge and smashing Cooper's head on the mirror]] before telling his reflection that he knows that he (BOB) is still there with him, seeming to set the record straight for the audience that BOB and the Doppelganger are two separate entities sharing the same body.
* BackFromTheDead: After his plan to eliminate his crony Ray backfires and Ray instead shoots and kills him, the [[TheLegionsOfHell Woodsmen]] appear and swarm over his body where they start rubbing Mr. C's blood on his face. Whether this was a blessing from the Woodsmen or an attempt at extracting BOB, the result was Coopelganger healing from his bullet wound and coming back to life.
* BadBadActing: In Episode 4 of ''The Return'' he and BOB put on an unsettling, UncannyValley imitation of Cooper's personality and body language during his meeting with Gordon and Albert in jail. It's enough to tip Gordon off that something is very wrong.
* BadBoss: Abusive and threatening to his cronies and won't waste a thought on killing them once they are of no further use to him. This is mostly why Darya and Ray took on the contract from Jeffries to kill Mr. C.
* BarbarianLonghair: Twenty five years after Season 2 he's shown to have grown out Cooper's hair to greatly resemble BOB's own unkempt hair.
* BigBad: For ''The Return''. Effectively serving as the new BOB in light of Frank Silva's death and now sharing the mantle with BOB for evilest villain in the series.
* BlackEyesOfEvil: Has very dark irises that give off this impression most of the time.
* CardCarryingVillain: Literally. Shortly before he murders her, Doppel Dale shows Daria a playing card he carries around with him. It's an Ace of Spades card, only in the center instead of an ace it's a bizarre, black circle with antenna like appenditures so the closest thing it resembles is a bug like a tick.
* ChickMagnet: He seems to have no problem in picking up morally questionable women before murdering them.
* CosmicDeadline: Seems to be well aware that he's due to be returned to the Black Lodge twenty five years after being released.
* CreepyMonotone: Speaks in an unnatural, almost robotic cadence, especially after his capture when he seems to lose a bit of his power.
* CurbstompBattle: Deals one to [[spoiler: Ray's buddy Renzo, crushing him in an arm wrestling contest before crushing his face with one punch]].
* DarkIsEvil: Whereas BOB wore a denim jacket, Coopelganger seems to favor a black leather jacket to highlight his evil nature.
* DarkReprise: Many of his characteristics and dialogue are sinister reimaginings of Cooper's mannerisms. He even gets a gunshot to the gut like Cooper.
-->'''Special Agent Dale Cooper:''' What I want and what I need are two different things, Audrey.
-->'''Mr. C:''' I don't need anything. I want.
* DirtyOldMan: Special Agent Dale Cooper turned down the amorous advances of Audrey Horne due to moral reservations. BOB!Cooper delights in feeling up women much younger than he is (at least physically).
* TheDreaded: Just like BOB. While most of Cooper's friends believe he just vanished, those familiar with the "new" Cooper dread his presence.
* EmotionEater: Presumably feeds off of the pain and suffering of others like BOB. [[spoiler: There was certainly a large amount of garmonbozia in his stomach.]]
* EvilCounterpart: [[CaptainObvious Helloooo-ooooo!]]
* EvilLaugh: His first action upon being created by BOB is to cackle like a psychopath alongside his creator in the Black Lodge. It's also one of the first things he does upon waking up in reality.
* EvilPlan: It's heavily implied that in an effort to escape his CosmicDeadline, the Doppelganger with the help of BOB created Dougie, another doppelganger of Cooper, to act as a decoy and throw off the trail of the Black Lodge. [[spoiler: It works.]]
* EvilSoundsDeep: His voice is noticeably deeper than that of the real Coop.
* FatalFlaw: For how easily he manages to operate on a day-to-day, he's too evil to know how to imitate [[NiceGuy Cooper]] and proves to be utterly incapable of tricking Gordon and Albert.
* FusionDance: Despite the reveal that Coopelganger and BOB are two separate individuals, episode 5 of ''The Return'' sees the Doppelganger's reflection briefly morph into BOB's face as some kind of unholy BOB!Cooper chimera. The Doppelganger's comments seem to imply that BOB resides within the Doppelganger's body but allows Mr. C to be the one behind the wheel.
* TheHeartless: How [[spoiler: Diane]] is able to him apart from the good Coop.
* HorrifyingTheHorror: His underlings include HillBillyHorrors and ProfessionalKillers who are easily cowered by him.
* HumanoidAbomination: An entity created by an EldritchAbomination like BOB in an EldritchLocation like the Black Lodge.
* LargeHam: Subverted in that when BOB first created him he was certainly this. Fast forward twenty five years and the years with Cooper's body have given the Doppelganger time to reel in his personality so that he now appears as TheStoic.
* ManipulativeBastard: His first appearances after the twenty-five year TimeSkip heavily imply that he's tricked various [[UnwittingPawn Unwitting Pawns]] and arranged numerous tragedies and frame jobs over the years without getting caught, all to continue to instill as much suffering as possible.
* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Like Frank Silva before him, Creator/KyleMacLachlan's personality is light years away from such an evil character.
* ObviouslyEvil: Dark clothing and CreepyMonotone aside, everyone who's known Cooper can't help noticing that there's something inherently [[UncannyValley wrong]] with his character that tips them off that he's not the real one.
* OneHitKill: Caves [[spoiler: Renzo's]] face in with one punch as retribution for [[BullyingADragon being punched by him earlier]].
* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: [[spoiler:He's strongly implied to have raped Diane, and as such, she finds him — who she initially mistakes for the real Cooper — to be revolting and refuses to have anything more to do with him. Of course, he ''is'' possessed by BOB, so this is a given.]]
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Whether or not the Doppelganger being separate from BOB was the plan all along, Frank Silva passing away in 1995 certainly made it impossible to show scenes of an older BOB. So far [[FanNickname Mr. C]] has certainly filled the void left by him.
* SerialKiller: Kills at least two people in the first episode of ''The Return'' and there's no telling how high he's ranked his body count over the years.
* ShoutOut: Kyle [=MachLachlan=] says his appearance is derived from that Creator/JavierBardem's portrayal of [[Literature/NoCountryForOldMen Anton Chigurh]]. He also shares a few personality traits with him.
* TheSociopath: Yessir.
* TheStoic: Twenty five years of becoming accustomed to his body have led Coopelganger to never raise his tone or let a slip of emotion show.
* SuperStrength: Completely ''destroys'' [[spoiler: Renzo, a '' very'' strong man, in an arm wrestling match before crushing his skull with a single punch to the face.]]
* TomTheDarkLord: Another similarity to BOB. When you hear the name "Cooper" you could see why it would go hand in hand with a heroic idealist like Dale Cooper but not a wanted criminal and HumanoidAbomination like Coopelganger.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Even if he isn't actually BOB himself he might as well be. As mentioned above, he emulates BOB's physical appearance and style whilst operating as the BigBad evil force of the Black Lodge. The abundance of similarities is why many fans originally believed that the Doppelganger was still BOB himself.
* SymbioticPossession: Seems to have this going on with BOB.
* UncannyValley: An InUniverse example. Everyone who's met the guy and known the real Cooper is quick to realize that there's something horribly ''off'' about him.
* VomitIndiscretionShot: In Episode 3 of ''The Return'', BOB!Cooper pulls over to the side of the road and pukes out an enormous amount of garmonbozia (cream corn) after narrowly avoiding the Black Lodge's attempt to pull him back in and replace him with Cooper.
* WalkingSpoiler: For the infamous cliffhanger of Season 2 and original series finale.
* WouldHitAGirl: He hits and [[spoiler:then kills]] Daria.
* WildHair: Grows his hair out to resemble BOB's.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Like Dougie he's only 25, but being originally created as a doppelganger to the then 30-something year old Cooper has led him to resemble a man pushing 60 twenty five years after Season 2.
!!Buella, Darya, Ray Monroe, & Gary "Hutch" and Chantal Hutchens

* DarkMistress: Daria is apparently this to Mr. C, [[spoiler: not that it does her much good]].
* EvilMatriarch: Buella's the head of a family of HillbillyHorrors. The family is an almost ''The Hills Have Eyes'' levels of creepy. They live in a creepy cabin in ths middle of the woods with their deformed family members and are at Mr. C's beck and call.
* OutlawCouple: Hutch and Chantal are married, and they do jobs together.

[[folder: The Jones Family]]
!!Douglas "Dougie" Jones
->Played by: Creator/KyleMacLachlan
A sleazy insurance salesman with a strange similarity to Dale Cooper.
----
* BodyBackUpDrive: Cooper replaces him upon escaping the Black Lodge, although the process isn't perfect.
* CloningGambit: Heavily implied to have been [[spoiler: created by BOB to con the Black Lodge and avoid returning.]]
* CloudCuckooLander: Aside from his sleazy and hedonistic traits, Dougie originally seems like he's more or less a normal person. However, comments made by Dougie's wife and co-workers to EmptyShell Cooper after he takes Dougie's place seem to reveal that people aren't immediately tipped off by Cooper's bizarre behavior because Dougie had a habit of having "episodes" and spacing out.
-->'''Phil Bisby:''' Off in dreamland again, eh Dougie?
* DullSurprise: Like a true copy of Cooper, he takes his abduction into the Black Lodge, hand deflating, his body disintegrating into black smoke and transforming into a tiny golden orb remarkably well.
-->'''Dougie:''' That's... weird.
* FatBastard: Many character note that Cooper weighs ''much'' less than Dougie, a man who 1) got his family into serious debt with dangerous people, 2) frequently drinks, gambles, and cheats in his free time, and 3) is utterly incompetent at his insurance job.
* TheFool: He goes through his day like a zombie but still manages to win $452,000 at a casino, save his company and its clients as well as his own life by the power of intuition and ParrotExposition.
* HeCleansUpNicely: Seeing as Dougie is just a schlubby, less fashionable version of Cooper. When Cooper takes his place, everyone familiar with Dougie thinks he went on a diet, got a haircut and bought new clothes while remarking on how sharp he looks.
* HenpeckedHusband: Implied, given Janey's initial nonchalance to "Dougie's" odd silence when she confronts him for missing Sonny Jim's birthday. However, Dougie's sleazy, cheating behavior makes it clear that her nagging is ''completely'' justified.
* HumanoidAbomination: He's more of a sleazy, modern day businessman instead of a psychopath like Doppel Coop, but seeing as Dougie is another doppelganger he was still created out of thin air/black smoke.
* OurClonesAreIdentical: Played with. While ''extremely'' similar to Cooper, it's noted that Cooper is much thinner and barely fits into Dougie's clothes.
* ParrotExposition: He simply repeats others' words which those characters than take for a statement or command to be acted upon.
* PosthumousCharacter: Functions as such. Most of his life is uncovered during Cooper's impersonation.
* ReallyWasBornYesterday: He's presumably 25, but looks pretty much the same age as Coop. [[spoiler: Episode 9 implies he's even younger than that, as there was no record of him prior to 1997.]]
* VomitIndiscretionShot: Dougie pukes out ''something solid'' that looks more like he hacked up a lung instead of cream corn.
* VanityLicensePlate: DUGE LV.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Returned to the Black Lodge and turned into a gold orb minutes after his first appearance, presumably for good.
* YourCheatingHeart: Has a wife and son but his very first appearance shows Dougie having just finished shacking up with a prostitute in an empty suburban home for sale.
!![[spoiler: Jane]] "Janey-E" Jones née [[spoiler:Evans]]
->Played by: Creator/NaomiWatts
Dougie's wife, a surburban mom increasingly concerned about Dougie's strange behavior. [[spoiler: Estranged Half-sister to Diane Evans.]]
----
* AwfulWeddedLife: Her husband is a dirtbag who was apparently gone for two days ''before'' Cooper accidentally took his place, as well as landed them $50k in debt. The married life is not treating her well. Even then, she protects Dougie by going to meet two gangsters and giving them the money. [[spoiler: She also tries to choke out Ike while Cooper is holding him down.]]
* EatingTheEyeCandy: When Cooper's being examined at a doctor's office and she notices how much more well built he is than Dougie. It almost immediately reignites her sexual interest in her husband.
* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: [[spoiler: After what is implied to have been a SexlessMarriage with Dougie, her first night with Cooper is a nearly ecstatic experience for her]].
* TheImmodestOrgasm: [[spoiler: Enough to wake Sonny Jim up]].
* MundaneSolution: Her TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to the two gangsters, which consists entirely of complaining about being part of a disadvantaged middle class... and then walking away.
* OneDegreeOfSeparation: Part 14 reveals that [[spoiler:she and Diane are estranged half- sisters.]]
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gets two gangster bookies her husband owes money to leave her family alone... with a political rant about economic inequality.
!!Sonny Jim Jones
-> Played by: Pierce Gagnon
The son of Dougie and Janey-E Jones.
----
* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Despite his young age, he quickly figures out that "Dougie" is struggling with day-to-day tasks and gives him some helpful demonstrations.
* ChildrenAreInnocent: Considering what his parents are like, he's amazingly well adjusted.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Assuming he's Dougie's biological son and not stepson then Sonny Jim may certainly have some of the Black Lodge in his genes.
* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: Let's hope "Sonny" is just his nickname.
** Let's hope NOT because that means his name is [[UnfortunateName Jim Jones]].

->Played by: Adele René

* ParrotExposition: He simply repeats others' words which those characters than take for a statement or command to be acted upon.
* PosthumousCharacter: Functions as such. Most of his life is uncovered during Cooper's impersonation.
* ReallyWasBornYesterday: He's presumably 25, but looks pretty much the same age as Coop. [[spoiler: Episode 9 implies he's even younger than that, as there was no record of him prior to 1997.]]
* VomitIndiscretionShot: Dougie pukes out ''something solid'' that looks more like he hacked up a lung instead of cream corn.
* VanityLicensePlate: DUGE LV.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Returned to the Black Lodge and turned into a gold orb minutes after his first appearance, presumably for good.
* YourCheatingHeart: Has a wife and son but his very first appearance shows Dougie having just finished shacking up with a prostitute in an empty suburban home for sale.
!![[spoiler: Jane]] "Janey-E" Jones née [[spoiler:Evans]]
->Played by: Creator/NaomiWatts
Dougie's wife, a surburban mom increasingly concerned about Dougie's strange behavior. [[spoiler: Estranged Half-sister to Diane Evans.]]
----
* AwfulWeddedLife: Her husband is a dirtbag who was apparently gone for two days ''before'' Cooper accidentally took his place, as well as landed them $50k in debt. The married life is not treating her well. Even then, she protects Dougie by going to meet two gangsters and giving them the money. [[spoiler: She also tries to choke out Ike while Cooper is holding him down.]]
* EatingTheEyeCandy: When Cooper's being examined at a doctor's office and she notices how much more well built he is than Dougie. It almost immediately reignites her sexual interest in her husband.
* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: [[spoiler: After what is implied to have been a SexlessMarriage with Dougie, her first night with Cooper is a nearly ecstatic experience for her]].
* TheImmodestOrgasm: [[spoiler: Enough to wake Sonny Jim up]].
* MundaneSolution: Her TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to the two gangsters, which consists entirely of complaining about being part of a disadvantaged middle class... and then walking away.
* OneDegreeOfSeparation: Part 14 reveals that [[spoiler:she and Diane are estranged half- sisters.]]
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gets two gangster bookies her husband owes money to leave her family alone... with a political rant about economic inequality.
!!Sonny Jim Jones
-> Played by: Pierce Gagnon
The son of Dougie and Janey-E Jones.
----
* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Despite his young age, he quickly figures out that "Dougie" is struggling with day-to-day tasks and gives him some helpful demonstrations.
* ChildrenAreInnocent: Considering what his parents are like, he's amazingly well adjusted.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Assuming he's Dougie's biological son and not stepson then Sonny Jim may certainly have some of the Black Lodge in his genes.
* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: Let's hope "Sonny" is just his nickname.
** Let's hope NOT because that means his name is [[UnfortunateName Jim Jones]].

!! Colonel Davis
->Played by: Creator/ErnieHudson
An Air Force Colonel at ThePentagon, tasked with covering up the whereabouts of Major Briggs, who seems to be found... well, ''everywhere''.... after his death
-----
* TheConspiracy: When and where Briggs' corpse reappears (it's happened ''several'' times in-universe), it's Davis' job to cover it up.
* IWasNeverHere: Briggs' mysterious resurgence in quite a few places is some super secret stuff, as Colonel Davis attests to in giving orders to his subordinate.
* RetGone: In universe, his job is to make sure Briggs is recorded as having had one and only one death.
!! Lieutenant Knox
->Played by: Adele René
An underling of Colonel Davis, also tasked with keeping [[spoiler: Briggs' many deaths]] a secret.
-----
* TheConspiracy: With Davis as her immediate superior, her job is to assist in covering up the whereabouts of a certain plot-relevant corpse.
* SheKnowsTooMuch: At least hinted at as of her most recent appearance.

Changed line(s) 362,390 (click to see context) from:
* BecomingTheMask: Starts off using a conservation scheme to derail Catherine's real estate plans, but eventually takes it seriously and starts reflecting on the decisions of his past.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Besides his legitimate company, which alone makes him the biggest business owner in Twin Peaks, he also got his finger in several more shady businesses, [[spoiler:such as One-Eyed Jacks]], and he is always plotting new ways to expand his business empire, usually through means that are extremely underhanded at best and outright illegal at worst.
* DeathGlare: A pretty hilarious version. One episode has a scene of Ben's 27 year old son [[AmbiguousDisorder Johnny]] running around outside in his Native American headdress playing Cowboys & Indians and emitting a childish war cry. Cue a shot of Ben looking out the window [[InadequateInheritor staring daggers into his only male heir]].
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: He kisses his mother's image while watching the old film.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: For all his manipulations, he genuinely cares for Audrey and is clearly proud of her when she asks to work in his department store.
* GoodFeelsGood: Deconstructed: when he starts to improve himself, Ben is clearly ecstatic to be doing the right thing for once. However, he doesn't take into the account the feelings of the people around him. For example, [[spoiler: revealing to Donna that he's her father may have been "right" but it completely tears apart her family in the season two finale.]]
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: He usually smokes cigars, signifying his role as a CorruptCorporateExecutive. After [[spoiler: his HeelFaceTurn in the second season]], he seems to [[AddictionDisplacement switch to celery stalks and carrots]].
* HandsomeLech: Has relationships with a large number of women in addition to the many prostitutes in his employ he sleeps with. Would be TheCasanova if not for the fact Ben is prone to corny oddball behavior (much like other Twin Peaks residents) and barely disguises his sleazier elements.
* KickTheDog: Refusing to send money to his mother after her grandson robbed her came off as rather cruel for a man who's mostly changed his ways.
* LargeHam: Especially in the middle-to-later episodes when things start to fall apart for him, which causes him to get much more dramatic and uncomposed, but especially so in the episodes after [[spoiler:he has a complete breakdown and starts acting and dressing like General Robert E. Lee]]. Even before that though, he fits the subtler variety of ham pretty well. His speech patterns can best be compared to that of Lionel Luthor from ''Series/{{Smallville}}'', in that both of them put emphasis on any words and parts of their lines that they feel are important.
* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:Revealed in the season 2 finale to be Donna's father.]]
* NotSoAboveItAll: Especially prevalent in season 1 where Ben is a more serious and sinister character than most other Twin Peaks residents. He's not above his own bit of odd behaviors such as when his brother introduces him to baguettes or when Leland comes in singing and he and Jerry break out the celebratory dance moves.
* PetTheDog: When his daughter is taken hostage, Ben sends Cooper to make the drop, fully intending for him to die per the hostage negotiator's orders. He does also send Hank to follow them and while he wants Hank to bring back his money as well, Ben places the greater importance on his daughter's safety.
* SharpDressedMan: In contrast to the retro-'50s style that most of the town dresses in, Ben favors '80s patterned ties and double-breasted suits.
* SmugSnake: Ben Horne is more intelligent than most of Twin Peaks criminals but he's brought low by Cooper and Truman.
* TookALevelInKindness: He starts the show as a manipulative businessman and cheating husband who exploited the girls at One-Eyed Jack's for his personal enjoyment. [[spoiler: Twenty-five years later, he openly criticizes Jerry for lusting after his married secretary and is clearly uncomfortable when Jerry points out that "never used to stop you".]]
** In ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'' the Archivist notices that the shock of [[spoiler:Audrey getting seriously injured in the bank explosion]], caused a subtle, but profound change in Ben's behavior and outlook, leading him to gradually become a better and more caring person.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: Until he inherited his family's company.
* VillainDecay: You don't get much lower than an extended plotline where you think you're General Lee.
* VillainousBreakdown: Several episodes in the making, but he finally goes well and truly off the rails when [[spoiler:he loses One-Eyed Jack's]].
* WhatHaveIBecome: He asks himself this a few times, [[IgnoredEpiphany only to shrug it off again]]. It seems to finally have stuck after [[spoiler:Audrey got seriously injured in the bank explosion]].
* YourCheatingHeart: Possibly the biggest offender in the series. He's married to Sylvia but he has an affair with Catherine Martell, sees the prostitutes in One Eyed Jack, [[spoiler:was one of Laura's lovers]] and [[spoiler:is revealed to be Donna's real father at the end]].

* SingingVoiceDissonance: His normal voice is rather deep. His singing voice literally sounds like a woman.

* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Has become this to Ben by ''The Return'', which is hilarious as they're both over sixty.
* BigEater: He fell in love Brie-on-baguette sandwiches when he went to Paris on a business trip for Ben. He brings home no less than four of them and insists that Ben try one. As a rule, he winds up developing a taste for at least one exotic or unusual dish from every foreign country he's been to, and likes to tell people about them in great detail.
** With the legalization of marijuana in Washington State, Jerry's taken to producing and selling his own edibles. His first scene in the third season introduces him chowing down on his own recipe for cannabis banana bread.

* CloudCuckooLander: Already showed shades of this in the original series, but as of the return has seemingly become one of the loopier residents of Twin Peaks, doubtless due to his implied heavy use of weed.
* DragonWithAnAgenda: Downplayed. When Ben starts losing his mind, Jerry considers using the situation to his advantage by going ahead with his own ventures until Audrey puts a stop to it. In spite of this Jerry is still concerned about his brother's mental health and is quite happy when he recovers.
* DumbassHasAPoint: Jerry isn't a very good lawyer, Coop notes he failed the Bar exam twice and graduated last in his class, but the advice he gives Ben when he's arrested [[spoiler:for Laura's murder]] is pretty sound (and his big plan is to get his brother a better lawyer). Mainly he keeps trying to stop Ben from [[DiggingYourselfDeeper yammering on and insulting everyone]] because he's just making himself look guilty, and everything he's saying can and will be used against him in court. Even when he gives the ultimatum: charge Ben or let him go... which results in them charging him; Jerry isn't in the wrong because that's just what the police have to do anyway.

* KnowWhenToFoldEm: When Ben is falsely accused of Laura Palmer's murder, his legal counsel is literally to get a better lawyer.

Deleted line(s) 774,826 (click to see context) :
* ArtisticLicenseMedicine: Mental health version. Everything about how treats his patients save Johnny Horne. The fact he knew about Laura's many issues (which included active illegal activity) is especially noteworthy.
* BeyondTheImpossible: By 2016, Jacoby has a genuine chance of surpassing the Log Lady as the biggest CloudCuckooLander in all of Twin Peaks.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: In a town of weirdos who are great at their job, Doctor Jacoby is an awful-awful psychologist. Zig-Zagged as he does help Johnny Horne prepare for the funeral of Laura Palmer and cure Ben Horne's insanity.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Dr. Jacoby was born in Hawaii and has had an obsession with the place all his life, dressing in tropical shirts and decorating his entire home with Polynesian kitsch. Taken UpToEleven in ''The Return'', where he's a ConspiracyTheorist with his own podcast/pirate radio show who sells spray painted "shit digging shovels" for 29.99 a pop.
* CoolShades: He almost always wears a pair of 3D glasses. Twenty five years later in Season 3 he's shown to wear them even under larger sunglasses!
* ConspiracyTheorist: An overtly humorous example in ''The Return''. He runs a pirate radio station in which he advocates naturopathic medicine and anti-GMO conspiracy theories as a lead-in to making a pitch for his shovel business.
** Notable for the fact TheMenInBlack, TheFairFolk, TheSyndicate, as well as an FBI conspiracy all exist in this universe. Yet, ''nothing'' Jacoby says is true.
* JerkassBall: He frequently switches between trying to be genuinely helpful and acting extremely insensitive and dismissive. One particular example is after Laura's funeral, where he guiltily confesses to Cooper that he doesn't care about his patients, but wants to help find Laura's killer. He then proceeds to completely fail to offer anything of value and secretly keeps Laura's necklace for himself, rather than hand it over as evidence. In ''The Return'', he is an exploitative con man using a conspiracy podcast to get gullible townspeople to buy his overpriced painted shovels.
* HigherUnderstandingThroughDrugs: ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'' discusses the fact that he has always had an interest in tribal views on mental illnesses, and he would spend a good part of his youth seeking out various isolated tribes in South America and attempting to gain insight in how they understood the human mind by partaking in their rituals. Naturally, quite a few of these rituals involved the use of strong psychoactive drugs, and Jacoby insists in his journals that he is much the wiser for having gone through these experiences.
* ItAmusedMe: Doctor Jacoby seems to actively enjoy feeding his patient's neuroses like encouraging Ben Horne to act like General Lee and having Nadine enroll in high school. Given he confesses to Cooper he doesn't care about any of his patients, this is almost certainly deliberate. Also, he looks terribly amused whenever his patients are having complete breakdowns.
* LargeHam: Gets ''really'' worked up while doing his radio show, often letting loose a ClusterFBomb for good measure.
* MakingASpectacleOfYourself: he always wears a pair of 3D glasses.
* TheStoner: According to ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'' and ''The Return'', he has been living a stoner lifestyle for a while, which [[CloudCuckooLander explains a lot]].
* UglyGuyHotWife: Dr. Jacoby isn't so much "ugly" as he is quirky and unattractive. However, he's married to a pretty Hawaiian woman who seems to be a [[MayDecemberRomance couple years younger than him]].
* WorstAid: Doctor Jacoby is probably one of the worst psychologists in the world. His handling of just about everyone in the show is comically terrible.

* TheBerserker: He's not the sort of hitman to MakeItLookLikeAnAccident. He runs full boar into an office building in broad daylight and brutally stabs everyone he sees while snarling like an animal. Presumably he gets hired whenever his employers want to send a message. [[spoiler: This comes back to bite him in the ass when he tries to kill Cooper by charging at him in broad day light with a pistol. Unfortunately for Ike, even in his EmptyShell state, [[TheAce the old Cooper resurfaces]] and effortlessly thwarts the assassination attempt, disarms Ike and karate chops the little creep until he runs off.]]
* BlackComedy: His second scene features him viciously stabbing a woman he had been hired to kill and her co-workers to death. After finishing off his most recent kill he looks down to see that in the process of stabbing a woman's rib cage, he had bent the blade of his ice pick. His response is to squeak out a cute little "Oh no!"
* BritishTeeth: As he snarls and stabs Lorraine to death he reveals that he has a pair of brown, distorted looking teeth.
* DepravedDwarf: A little person who is also a contract killer that prefers killing his targets with an ice pick.
* InformedAbility: He is hyped up as a skilled and efficient assassin who the police can't pin for any of the killings he's committed. However, the only hits we see him commit are ''far'' from inconspicuous (his modus operandi appears to consist solely of running up to people and screaming while trying to stab/shoot them), [[spoiler: and when he tries to kill Cooper by charging at him with a pistol drawn ''in broad daylight'', he's dispatched almost immediately and arrested soon afterwards.]]
* LittlePeopleAreSurreal: Even though his scenes take place in reality they're still bizarre and even dream like. This being a series by Creator/DavidLynch a.k.a. one of the few people who can pull this trope off without looking hacky, its not surprising that this trope came into play again.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: The weird smell a witness to his assassination attempt on Cooper describes him as having. Is it the gasoline-style odour associated with [=BOB=] and the Black Lodge, or just bad personal hygiene?
* PottyFailure: Shits himself [[spoiler:when he's arrested.]]
* SeriousBusiness: Visibly upset to learn that he bent the blade of his beloved ice pick after stabbing two women to death.

[[spoiler: They also treat Cooper to a nice meal when he gets them 30 million dollars.]]
* JerkassHasAPoint: While beating the Pit Boss of their casino and forcing him out of town might seem like a KickTheDog moment, the fact the Pit Boss didn't intervene when [[spoiler: Cooper]] won jackpot after jackpot despite the astronomical odds means he really was woefully incompetent. At the very least, the Pit Boss could have shown [[spoiler: Cooper]] the door after the first couple of jackpots. That's entirely legal for the casino to do, too.

->Played by: Frank Silva, [[spoiler: Ray Wise, and Creator/KyleMacLachlan]]
The show's [[BigBad main villain]]. He is the chief suspect
Changed line(s) 869,928 (click to see context) from:
* AnimalMotifs: He's associated with owls.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: [[spoiler: Given his possession of Leland and his role in Leland's backstory, it's not hard to read BOB as the personification of child abuse.]]
** ''The Return'' then loosely extends the metaphor: [[spoiler:he also represents the "rape" of the environment by nuclear testing and the defilement of humanity by the H-bomb.]]
* AxCrazy: Now, when most people say that one character ''is'' a trope, they don't mean it this literally...
* BigBad: One way or another, Twin Peaks' problems are his doing.
* BodySnatcher: Of the DemonicPossession variety.
* ContinuitySnarl: His origins are given in ''Part 8'' of ''The Return'' while also being included in ''The Secret of Twin Peaks.'' Both are contradictory while also being canon. [[spoiler: ''The Return'' claims Bob was created by the Trinity nuclear tests while TSHOTP claims the owl-shaped spirit has existed far longer. This could be a SubvertedTrope in the most bizarre way, though. Given time doesn't exist in the Black Lodge and the tests could have just allowed him in, these aren't necessarily contradictory. The TSHOTP is also an in-universe document that has other contradictions to the show deliberately put inside it.]]
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Played with, in that he "gets to know" those he possesses and controls their base desires. In the original run this takes the form of [[spoiler: Leland]]'s darker and more harmful abusive sexual urges, represented by BOB's chaotic style of raping and murdering his victims to take garmonbozia from them. It therefore makes sense that 25 years later, while [[spoiler: possessing Cooper]], BOB takes on some of [[spoiler: Cooper]]'s highly controlled and logical personality and channels it into more elaborate, long-term strategies to harvest garmonbozia from his victims. Also arguably justifiable as him trying to stay further off of the Black Lodge's radar, although [[spoiler:he seems to genuinely enjoy playing with his food]].
* DemonicPossession: When he isn't murdering or terrorizing his future victims, BOB takes special interest in hot wiring the body and mind of whoever is unfortunate enough to be his vessel. [[spoiler:Just ask poor Leland and Coop.]]
* DepravedBisexual: [[spoiler:It's implied that he molested Leland when he was younger]].
* TheDreaded: No one that knows BOB wants anything to do with him, even his Black Lodge friends.
* EmotionEater: He feeds on the pain and suffering of humans.
* EvilLaugh: Tends to laugh maniacally during his crimes.
* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: [[spoiler:A deleted scene from ''Fire Walk With Me'', which was released in ''The Missing Pieces'', sees BOB in control of Cooper's body and trying to emulate Cooper's sense of humor, and... not really doing a good job of it.]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Possessed-Cooper:''' I slipped and hit my head on the mirror. The glass broke when my head struck it... ''(with an ominous smile)'' It struck me as funny, Harry. ''(with a sudden vague hint of threat in his voice)'' Do you understand me? It ''struck'' me as ''funny''.]]
* EvilSmellsBad: A sign of BOB's presence is an inexplicable smell of oil or gasoline.
* EvilerThanThou: He manages to violate even the morals of the Black Lodge, a realm of ''pure evil'', to the point where the other Lodge spirits try to capture him.
* FauxAffablyEvil: His behavior while possessing [[spoiler: Leland]] exemplifies this.
* ForTheEvulz: The only reason he does anything. He feeds on pain and suffering, after all.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: It seems that the other residents of the Black Lodge, including his former partner in evil MIKE are pretty fed up with BOB's antics either because he's somehow violating the Lodge's BlueAndOrangeMorality or because he is hogging all of the garmonbozia for himself.
* FusionDance: [[spoiler: A chilling image of BOB's face mixed with Evil Cooper's face in episode 5 of ''The Return'' seems to imply that BOB has merged with the Evil Doppelganger of Cooper that he created but leaves the Coopelganger in control while residing dormant within him.]]
* GrandTheftMe: To [[spoiler:Leland]] and later [[spoiler:Cooper]].
* GreenAesop: In ''The Return'', he is implied to be a product of environmental ruin caused by [[spoiler: the H-bomb]].
* GutturalGrowler: He has a low, raspy voice.
* TheHeartless: Albert speculates that BOB is "the evil that men do" and can't really be destroyed AsLongAsThereIsEvil.
* HiddenVillain: He's seen from time to time during the first season, but it's not until the second that we learn unambiguously that his name is BOB, and much later till we learn his role in the story. [[spoiler: In ''The Return'' it appears that BOB is laying low in the body of Doppel Coop.]]
* HumanoidAbomination: BOB is obviously a kind of demon or something, but he looks like a perfectly average human.
* KnightOfCerebus: Whenever he gets involved at any point in the show, things are guaranteed to get pretty bad. Not to mention frightening. In fact, BOB is arguably single-handedly responsible for most of the darkest elements in the show and most ''definitely'' in the prequel film. Plus, if you look at the NightmareFuel page for the show, he's responsible for at least 80% of the entries, being the main reason most of those scenes are considered scary.
* LargeHam: Justified (sort of) in that he is not played by a professional actor but by a set dresser who happened to find himself [[ThrowItIn accidentally foreshadowed in certain scenes]].
* LimitedWardrobe: Always seen in the same denim vest and jeans.
* MadeOfEvil: His origin story in ''The Return'' makes it clear that he was fully developed bad news from the very get-go.
* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Not even technically an actor as Frank Silva was just a film crew member who was added to the cast after a ThrowItIn. But behind the scenes interviews show the late Frank Silva in full BOB garb (messy hair and denim vest) as soft spoken and thoughtful in all his responses.
* MindRape: To his direct victims, actual rape for the others.

->Played by: Al Strobel
Bob's former partner in murder and chaos who has since repented.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: [[spoiler: Given his possession of Leland and his role in Leland's backstory, it's not hard to read BOB as the personification of child abuse.]]
** ''The Return'' then loosely extends the metaphor: [[spoiler:he also represents the "rape" of the environment by nuclear testing and the defilement of humanity by the H-bomb.]]
* AxCrazy: Now, when most people say that one character ''is'' a trope, they don't mean it this literally...
* BigBad: One way or another, Twin Peaks' problems are his doing.
* BodySnatcher: Of the DemonicPossession variety.
* ContinuitySnarl: His origins are given in ''Part 8'' of ''The Return'' while also being included in ''The Secret of Twin Peaks.'' Both are contradictory while also being canon. [[spoiler: ''The Return'' claims Bob was created by the Trinity nuclear tests while TSHOTP claims the owl-shaped spirit has existed far longer. This could be a SubvertedTrope in the most bizarre way, though. Given time doesn't exist in the Black Lodge and the tests could have just allowed him in, these aren't necessarily contradictory. The TSHOTP is also an in-universe document that has other contradictions to the show deliberately put inside it.]]
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Played with, in that he "gets to know" those he possesses and controls their base desires. In the original run this takes the form of [[spoiler: Leland]]'s darker and more harmful abusive sexual urges, represented by BOB's chaotic style of raping and murdering his victims to take garmonbozia from them. It therefore makes sense that 25 years later, while [[spoiler: possessing Cooper]], BOB takes on some of [[spoiler: Cooper]]'s highly controlled and logical personality and channels it into more elaborate, long-term strategies to harvest garmonbozia from his victims. Also arguably justifiable as him trying to stay further off of the Black Lodge's radar, although [[spoiler:he seems to genuinely enjoy playing with his food]].
* DemonicPossession: When he isn't murdering or terrorizing his future victims, BOB takes special interest in hot wiring the body and mind of whoever is unfortunate enough to be his vessel. [[spoiler:Just ask poor Leland and Coop.]]
* DepravedBisexual: [[spoiler:It's implied that he molested Leland when he was younger]].
* TheDreaded: No one that knows BOB wants anything to do with him, even his Black Lodge friends.
* EmotionEater: He feeds on the pain and suffering of humans.
* EvilLaugh: Tends to laugh maniacally during his crimes.
* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: [[spoiler:A deleted scene from ''Fire Walk With Me'', which was released in ''The Missing Pieces'', sees BOB in control of Cooper's body and trying to emulate Cooper's sense of humor, and... not really doing a good job of it.]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Possessed-Cooper:''' I slipped and hit my head on the mirror. The glass broke when my head struck it... ''(with an ominous smile)'' It struck me as funny, Harry. ''(with a sudden vague hint of threat in his voice)'' Do you understand me? It ''struck'' me as ''funny''.]]
* EvilSmellsBad: A sign of BOB's presence is an inexplicable smell of oil or gasoline.
* EvilerThanThou: He manages to violate even the morals of the Black Lodge, a realm of ''pure evil'', to the point where the other Lodge spirits try to capture him.
* FauxAffablyEvil: His behavior while possessing [[spoiler: Leland]] exemplifies this.
* ForTheEvulz: The only reason he does anything. He feeds on pain and suffering, after all.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: It seems that the other residents of the Black Lodge, including his former partner in evil MIKE are pretty fed up with BOB's antics either because he's somehow violating the Lodge's BlueAndOrangeMorality or because he is hogging all of the garmonbozia for himself.
* FusionDance: [[spoiler: A chilling image of BOB's face mixed with Evil Cooper's face in episode 5 of ''The Return'' seems to imply that BOB has merged with the Evil Doppelganger of Cooper that he created but leaves the Coopelganger in control while residing dormant within him.]]
* GrandTheftMe: To [[spoiler:Leland]] and later [[spoiler:Cooper]].
* GreenAesop: In ''The Return'', he is implied to be a product of environmental ruin caused by [[spoiler: the H-bomb]].
* GutturalGrowler: He has a low, raspy voice.
* TheHeartless: Albert speculates that BOB is "the evil that men do" and can't really be destroyed AsLongAsThereIsEvil.
* HiddenVillain: He's seen from time to time during the first season, but it's not until the second that we learn unambiguously that his name is BOB, and much later till we learn his role in the story. [[spoiler: In ''The Return'' it appears that BOB is laying low in the body of Doppel Coop.]]
* HumanoidAbomination: BOB is obviously a kind of demon or something, but he looks like a perfectly average human.
* KnightOfCerebus: Whenever he gets involved at any point in the show, things are guaranteed to get pretty bad. Not to mention frightening. In fact, BOB is arguably single-handedly responsible for most of the darkest elements in the show and most ''definitely'' in the prequel film. Plus, if you look at the NightmareFuel page for the show, he's responsible for at least 80% of the entries, being the main reason most of those scenes are considered scary.
* LargeHam: Justified (sort of) in that he is not played by a professional actor but by a set dresser who happened to find himself [[ThrowItIn accidentally foreshadowed in certain scenes]].
* LimitedWardrobe: Always seen in the same denim vest and jeans.
* MadeOfEvil: His origin story in ''The Return'' makes it clear that he was fully developed bad news from the very get-go.
* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Not even technically an actor as Frank Silva was just a film crew member who was added to the cast after a ThrowItIn. But behind the scenes interviews show the late Frank Silva in full BOB garb (messy hair and denim vest) as soft spoken and thoughtful in all his responses.

* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Implied - the creatures in the Black Lodge feed off pain and suffering, which suggests that BOB's predilection for rape (not to mention [[spoiler:incest]]) is partly motivated by the level of suffering it causes in the victim.
* RealityWarper: [[spoiler: The Black Lodge seems to automatically create doppelgangers on its own but ''The Return'' heavily implies that BOB was able to conjure up his own doppelganger of Cooper, Dougie Jones, to trick the Black Lodge and avoid being sucked back in.]]
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Kind of. Frank Silva was barely but ''clearly'' visible in a certain shot in the pilot [[note]]In the reflection of the mirror at the top right of the shot, when Sarah Palmer wakes up and screams at the end of the episode[[/note]]. They easily could have done another take, but David Lynch decided to ThrowItIn and build an entire terrifying character around a single bad take.

* SerialKiller: Or rather, turns people into one.
* ShoutOut: A messy haired, HumanoidAbomination that rocks a denim vest and jeans with a hobby for appearing in your nightmares? Are we sure BOB's initials aren't [[Literature/TheStand R.F]]?
* SlasherSmile: Just look at his picture!
* SymbioticPossession: [[spoiler: Unlike with Leland who he controlled mercilessly, BOB seems to have this kind of relationship with the Evil Dale Cooper doppelganger he created. They both share the same goal of collecting garmonbozia and work together to avoid being sucked back into the Black Lodge. BOB!Cooper does all of the physical work while BOB remains mostly dormant but influences Doppel Coop's physical

* YourSoulIsMine: [[spoiler: Extracts Window Earle's soul from his body in the last episode of Season 2 after Earle breaks the rules of the Lodge. BOB also leaves Cooper and apparently Leland's souls in the Lodge to rot for all eternity.

!!Steven Burnett
->Played by: Caleb Landry Jones
Becky's husband. Established to be an unemployable drug addict who can somehow afford designer drugs and a car.
----
* AddledAddict: He and Becky's main date activity seems to be getting high out of their gourd on designer drugs. His lack of day-to-day functionality is shown during his disaster of a job interview.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Becky falls for Steven, a flaky drug addict who drives around Twin Peaks in his CoolCar and can't find a job.
* BastardBoyfriend: Where do we start? First, his insistence on getting his wife high and addicted and his stubborn refusal to contribute to society definitely mark him as this. And then his insistence on screaming out and threatening to beat Becky for not being enough of a breadwinner to support him while he's unemployed. Yeah, this guy is kinda no good.
* MeaningfulName: "Burnett" doesn't sound that much different from "Burn Out."

Changed line(s) 930,1005 (click to see context) from:
* TheAtoner: He claims to be this, although the final scenes of the movie throw a bit of doubt on this claim.
* BodySnatcher: MIKE is a being like BOB who can possess a human host to interact with the world beyond the Black Lodge.

** He works with BOB in [[spoiler: killing Josie Packard and claiming her soul.]]
** He later actively helps Cooper in his quest to escape the Black Lodge and survive assassination attempts against him in ''The Return.''
* ArcWords: He's the source of many of them.

* TheChessmaster: May or may not be controlling everything, even BOB.
* CrypticConversation: Oh my yes... The fact that Cooper keeps seeing him in his dreams, where nothing has to really make sense, just makes things more ''sinister''.
* HeroicNeutral: One interpretation of the character is that he's friends with MIKE and BOB both due to being the part of Mike which was "touched by the Devilish one."

A mysterious godlike being who is instrumental in solving the Laura Palmer case.

* ArcWords: "The Owls are not what they seem."
* BaldOfAwesome: A bald giant.
* BigGood: Unlike the MFANP who displays AmbiguouslyEvil and ChessMaster traits when speaking to Cooper, the Giant seems to sincerely want to help Cooper with the Laura Palmer case by giving him honest and slightly less cryptic clues.
* BodySnatcher: However, it's clear he has stayed in the same body for a long, long time.
* CannotTellALie: "The things I tell you will not be wrong."
* TheChooserOfTheOne: ''The Return'' implies this is his role [[spoiler: to Laura]], assuming he's not her "father" in some spiritual sense such as immaculate conception, using humans as a vessel, or similar.
* CoolHouse: Lives in a {{Retraux}} Raygun Gothic mansion that looks straight out of the imagination of Georges Melies or William Wallace Denslow.
* CrypticConversation: Less so than The Man From Another Place, giving one straightforward clue - "Without chemicals, [[YouKnowTheOne he]] points." Some of his dialogue indicates that he genuinely wants to make more sense, but his ability to do so is somehow limited by forces out of his control.
* GentleGiant: His speaking voice is pleasant, and he's dressed smartly. It's difficult to imagine him hurting a fly. That said, he is a creature of the Black Lodge, a world of pure evil... but is also clearly a major figure in the White Lodge whenever he appears in black and white, so his [[IncrediblyLamePun true colors]] are unknown.
* GoodCounterpart: To the Man From Another Place. He seems to be much more benevolent in his aims, and speaks normally and pleasantly in contrast to the Man's BlackSpeech. His gigantism also contrasts the Man's dwarfism.
* GreaterScopeParagon: Is apparently something like the Aslan of the Twin Peaks universe.
* TheMaker: ''The Return'' strongly implies [[spoiler:that he, or a spirit who created him in his image, had a role in the creation of the Black Lodge and its denizens, if not the entire world itself]].
* MeaningfulName: His name is revealed as The Fireman later on in ''The Return''.

* EmotionEater: Presumably feeds off of the pain and suffering of others like BOB. [[spoiler: There was certainly a
* EvilCounterpart: [[CaptainObvious Helloooo-ooooo!]]
* EvilLaugh: His first action upon being created by BOB is to cackle like a
* EvilPlan: It's heavily implied that in an effort to escape his CosmicDeadline, the Doppelganger with the help of BOB created Dougie, another doppelganger of Cooper, to act as a decoy and throw off the trail of the Black Lodge. [[spoiler: It works.]]
* EvilSoundsDeep: His voice is
* FatalFlaw: For how easily he manages to operate on a day-to-day, he's too evil to know how to imitate [[NiceGuy Cooper]] and proves to be utterly incapable of tricking Gordon and Albert.
* FusionDance: Despite the reveal that Coopelganger and BOB are two separate individuals, episode 5 of ''The Return'' sees the Doppelganger's reflection briefly morph into BOB's face as some kind of unholy BOB!Cooper chimera. The Doppelganger's comments seem to imply that BOB resides within the Doppelganger's body but allows Mr. C to be the one behind the wheel.
*
* HorrifyingTheHorror: His underlings include HillBillyHorrors and ProfessionalKillers who are easily cowered by him.
* HumanoidAbomination: An entity created by an EldritchAbomination like BOB in an EldritchLocation like the Black Lodge.
* LargeHam: Subverted in that when
* ManipulativeBastard: His first appearances after the twenty-five year TimeSkip heavily imply that he's tricked various [[UnwittingPawn Unwitting Pawns]] and arranged numerous tragedies and frame jobs over the years without getting caught, all to continue to instill as much suffering as possible.
* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Like Frank Silva before him, Creator/KyleMacLachlan's personality is light years away from such an evil character.
* ObviouslyEvil: Dark clothing and CreepyMonotone aside, everyone who's known Cooper can't help noticing that there's something inherently [[UncannyValley wrong]] with his
* WeaselCoworker: Always shown mouthing
* OneHitKill: Caves [[spoiler: Renzo's]] face in with one punch as retribution for [[BullyingADragon being punched by him earlier]].
* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: [[spoiler:He's strongly implied to have raped Diane, and as such, she finds him — who she initially mistakes for the real Cooper — to be revolting and refuses to have anything more to do with him. Of course, he ''is'' possessed by BOB, so this is a given.]]
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Whether or not the Doppelganger being separate from BOB was the plan all along, Frank Silva passing away in 1995 certainly made it impossible to show scenes of an older BOB. So far [[FanNickname Mr. C]] has certainly filled the void left by him.
* SerialKiller: Kills at least two people in the first episode of ''The Return'' and there's no telling how high he's ranked his body count over the years.
* ShoutOut: Kyle [=MachLachlan=] says his appearance is derived from that Creator/JavierBardem's portrayal of [[Literature/NoCountryForOldMen Anton Chigurh]]. He also shares a few personality traits with him.
* TheSociopath: Yessir.
* TheStoic: Twenty five years of becoming accustomed to his body have led Coopelganger to never raise his tone or let a slip of emotion show.
* SuperStrength: Completely ''destroys'' [[spoiler: Renzo, a '' very'' strong man, in an arm wrestling match before crushing his skull with a single punch to the face.]]
* TomTheDarkLord: Another similarity to BOB. When you hear the name "Cooper" you could see why it would go hand in hand with a heroic idealist like Dale Cooper but not a wanted criminal and HumanoidAbomination like Coopelganger.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Even if he isn't actually BOB himself he might as well be. As mentioned above, he emulates BOB's physical appearance and style whilst operating as the BigBad evil force of the Black Lodge. The abundance of similarities is why many fans originally believed that the Doppelganger was still BOB himself.
* SymbioticPossession: Seems to have this going on with BOB.
* UncannyValley: An InUniverse example. Everyone who's met the guy and known the real Cooper is quick to realize that there's something horribly ''off'' about him.
* VomitIndiscretionShot: In Episode 3 of ''The Return'', BOB!Cooper pulls over to the side of the road and pukes out an enormous amount of garmonbozia (cream corn) after narrowly avoiding the Black Lodge's attempt to pull him back in and replace him with Cooper.
* WalkingSpoiler: For the infamous cliffhanger of Season 2 and original series finale.
* WouldHitAGirl: He hits and [[spoiler:then kills]] Daria.
* WildHair: Grows his hair out to resemble BOB's.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Like Dougie he's only 25, but being originally created as a doppelganger to the then 30-something year old Cooper has led him to resemble a man pushing 60 twenty five years after Season 2.

* DarkMistress: Daria is apparently this to Mr. C, [[spoiler: not that it does her much good]].
* HillbillyHorrors: To an almost ''The Hills Have Eyes'' level. They live in a creepy cabin in ths middle of the woods with their deformed family members and are at Mr. C's beck and call.
* TheStarscream: [[spoiler: Ray and Daria try to kill Mr. C at the behest of Philip Jeffries. Both fail, though Ray would have succeeded if not for the intervention of the Woodsmen]].

Changed line(s) 1144,1207 (click to see context) from:
* AmbiguousSituation: Given the very last scene of Season 2 seemed to heavily imply that Cooper was now possessed by BOB in the same manner as Leland, many believed that the Doppelganger was BOB himself in Cooper's original body. Episode 5 of ''The Return'' features a scene with the Doppelganger [[OnceMoreWithClarity flashing back to the scenes of BOB and the Doppelganger cackling in the Black Lodge and smashing Cooper's head on the mirror]] before telling his reflection that he knows that he (BOB) is still there with him, seeming to set the record straight for the audience that BOB and the Doppelganger are two separate entities sharing the same body.
* BackFromTheDead: After his plan to eliminate his crony Ray backfires and Ray instead shoots and kills him, the [[TheLegionsOfHell Woodsmen]] appear and swarm over his body where they start rubbing Mr. C's blood on his face. Whether this was a blessing from the Woodsmen or an attempt at extracting BOB, the result was Coopelganger healing from his bullet wound and coming back to life.
* BadBadActing: In Episode 4 of ''The Return'' he and BOB put on an unsettling, UncannyValley imitation of Cooper's personality and body language during his meeting with Gordon and Albert in jail. It's enough to tip Gordon off that something is very wrong.
* BadBoss: Abusive and threatening to his cronies and won't waste a thought on killing them once they are of no further use to him. This is mostly why Darya and Ray took on the contract from Jeffries to kill Mr. C.
* BarbarianLonghair: Twenty five years after Season 2 he's shown to have grown out Cooper's hair to greatly resemble BOB's own unkempt hair.
* BigBad: For ''The Return''. Effectively serving as the new BOB in light of Frank Silva's death and now sharing the mantle with BOB for evilest villain in the series.
* BlackEyesOfEvil: Has very dark irises that give off this impression most of the time.
* CardCarryingVillain: Literally. Shortly before he murders her, Doppel Dale shows Daria a playing card he carries around with him. It's an Ace of Spades card, only in the center instead of an ace it's a bizarre, black circle with antenna like appenditures so the closest thing it resembles is a bug like a tick.
* ChickMagnet: He seems to have no problem in picking up morally questionable women before murdering them.
* CosmicDeadline: Seems to be well aware that he's due to be returned to the Black Lodge twenty five years after being released.
* CreepyMonotone: Speaks in an unnatural, almost robotic cadence, especially after his capture when he seems to lose a bit of his power.
* CurbstompBattle: Deals one to [[spoiler: Ray's buddy Renzo, crushing him in an arm wrestling contest before crushing his face with one punch]].
* DarkIsEvil: Whereas BOB wore a denim jacket, Coopelganger seems to favor a black leather jacket to highlight his evil nature.
* DarkReprise: Many of his characteristics and dialogue are sinister reimaginings of Cooper's mannerisms. He even gets a gunshot to the gut like Cooper.
-->'''Special Agent Dale Cooper:''' What I want and what I need are two different things, Audrey.
-->'''Mr. C:''' I don't need anything. I want.
* DirtyOldMan: Special Agent Dale Cooper turned down the amorous advances of Audrey Horne due to moral reservations. BOB!Cooper delights in feeling up women much younger than he is (at least physically).
* TheDreaded: Just like BOB. While most of Cooper's friends believe he just vanished, those familiar with the "new" Cooper dread his presence.
* EmotionEater: Presumably feeds off of the pain and suffering of others like BOB. [[spoiler: There was certainly a large amount of garmonbozia in his stomach.]]
* EvilCounterpart: [[CaptainObvious Helloooo-ooooo!]]
* EvilLaugh: His first action upon being created by BOB is to cackle like a psychopath alongside his creator in the Black Lodge. It's also one of the first things he does upon waking up in reality.
* EvilPlan: It's heavily implied that in an effort to escape his CosmicDeadline, the Doppelganger with the help of BOB created Dougie, another doppelganger of Cooper, to act as a decoy and throw off the trail of the Black Lodge. [[spoiler: It works.]]
* EvilSoundsDeep: His voice is noticeably deeper than that of the real Coop.
* FatalFlaw: For how easily he manages to operate on a day-to-day, he's too evil to know how to imitate [[NiceGuy Cooper]] and proves to be utterly incapable of tricking Gordon and Albert.
* FusionDance: Despite the reveal that Coopelganger and BOB are two separate individuals, episode 5 of ''The Return'' sees the Doppelganger's reflection briefly morph into BOB's face as some kind of unholy BOB!Cooper chimera. The Doppelganger's comments seem to imply that BOB resides within the Doppelganger's body but allows Mr. C to be the one behind the wheel.
* TheHeartless: How [[spoiler: Diane]] is able to him apart from the good Coop.
* HorrifyingTheHorror: His underlings include HillBillyHorrors and ProfessionalKillers who are easily cowered by him.
* HumanoidAbomination: An entity created by an EldritchAbomination like BOB in an EldritchLocation like the Black Lodge.
* LargeHam: Subverted in that when BOB first created him he was certainly this. Fast forward twenty five years and the years with Cooper's body have given the Doppelganger time to reel in his personality so that he now appears as TheStoic.
* ManipulativeBastard: His first appearances after the twenty-five year TimeSkip heavily imply that he's tricked various [[UnwittingPawn Unwitting Pawns]] and arranged numerous tragedies and frame jobs over the years without getting caught, all to continue to instill as much suffering as possible.
* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Like Frank Silva before him, Creator/KyleMacLachlan's personality is light years away from such an evil character.
* ObviouslyEvil: Dark clothing and CreepyMonotone aside, everyone who's known Cooper can't help noticing that there's something inherently [[UncannyValley wrong]] with his character that tips them off that he's not the real one.
* OneHitKill: Caves [[spoiler: Renzo's]] face in with one punch as retribution for [[BullyingADragon being punched by him earlier]].
* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: [[spoiler:He's strongly implied to have raped Diane, and as such, she finds him — who she initially mistakes for the real Cooper — to be revolting and refuses to have anything more to do with him. Of course, he ''is'' possessed by BOB, so this is a given.]]
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Whether or not the Doppelganger being separate from BOB was the plan all along, Frank Silva passing away in 1995 certainly made it impossible to show scenes of an older BOB. So far [[FanNickname Mr. C]] has certainly filled the void left by him.
* SerialKiller: Kills at least two people in the first episode of ''The Return'' and there's no telling how high he's ranked his body count over the years.
* ShoutOut: Kyle [=MachLachlan=] says his appearance is derived from that Creator/JavierBardem's portrayal of [[Literature/NoCountryForOldMen Anton Chigurh]]. He also shares a few personality traits with him.
* TheSociopath: Yessir.
* TheStoic: Twenty five years of becoming accustomed to his body have led Coopelganger to never raise his tone or let a slip of emotion show.
* SuperStrength: Completely ''destroys'' [[spoiler: Renzo, a '' very'' strong man, in an arm wrestling match before crushing his skull with a single punch to the face.]]
* TomTheDarkLord: Another similarity to BOB. When you hear the name "Cooper" you could see why it would go hand in hand with a heroic idealist like Dale Cooper but not a wanted criminal and HumanoidAbomination like Coopelganger.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Even if he isn't actually BOB himself he might as well be. As mentioned above, he emulates BOB's physical appearance and style whilst operating as the BigBad evil force of the Black Lodge. The abundance of similarities is why many fans originally believed that the Doppelganger was still BOB himself.
* SymbioticPossession: Seems to have this going on with BOB.
* UncannyValley: An InUniverse example. Everyone who's met the guy and known the real Cooper is quick to realize that there's something horribly ''off'' about him.
* VomitIndiscretionShot: In Episode 3 of ''The Return'', BOB!Cooper pulls over to the side of the road and pukes out an enormous amount of garmonbozia (cream corn) after narrowly avoiding the Black Lodge's attempt to pull him back in and replace him with Cooper.
* WalkingSpoiler: For the infamous cliffhanger of Season 2 and original series finale.
* WouldHitAGirl: He hits and [[spoiler:then kills]] Daria.
* WildHair: Grows his hair out to resemble BOB's.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Like Dougie he's only 25, but being originally created as a doppelganger to the then 30-something year old Cooper has led him to resemble a man pushing 60 twenty five years after Season 2.

* BodyBackUpDrive: Cooper replaces him upon escaping the Black Lodge, although the process isn't perfect.
* CloningGambit: Heavily implied to have been [[spoiler: created by BOB to con the Black Lodge and avoid returning.]]
* CloudCuckooLander: Aside from his sleazy and hedonistic traits, Dougie originally seems like he's more or less a normal person. However, comments made by Dougie's wife and co-workers to EmptyShell Cooper after he takes Dougie's place seem to reveal that people aren't immediately tipped off by Cooper's bizarre behavior because Dougie had a habit of having "episodes" and spacing out.
-->'''Phil Bisby:''' Off in dreamland again, eh Dougie?
* DullSurprise: Like a true copy of Cooper, he takes his abduction into the Black Lodge, hand deflating, his body disintegrating into black smoke and transforming into a tiny golden orb remarkably well.
-->'''Dougie:''' That's... weird.
* FatBastard: Many character note that Cooper weighs ''much'' less than Dougie, a man who 1) got his family into serious debt with dangerous people, 2) frequently drinks, gambles, and cheats in his free time, and 3) is utterly incompetent at his insurance job.
* TheFool: He goes through his day like a zombie but still manages to win $452,000 at a casino, save his company and its clients as well as his own life by the power of intuition.
* HeCleansUpNicely: Seeing as Dougie is just a schlubby, less fashionable version of Cooper. When Cooper takes his place, everyone familiar with Dougie thinks he went on a diet, got a haircut and bought new clothes while remarking on how sharp he looks.
* HenpeckedHusband: Implied, given Janey's initial nonchalance to "Dougie's" odd silence when she confronts him for missing Sonny Jim's birthday. However, Dougie's sleazy, cheating behavior makes it clear that her nagging is ''completely'' justified.
* HumanoidAbomination: He's more of a sleazy, modern day businessman instead of a psychopath like Doppel Coop, but seeing as Dougie is another doppelganger he was still created out of thin air/black smoke.
* OurClonesAreIdentical: Played with. While ''extremely'' similar to Cooper, it's noted that Cooper is much thinner and barely fits into Dougie's clothes.
* PosthumousCharacter: Functions as such. Most of his life is uncovered during Cooper's impersonation.
* ReallyWasBornYesterday: He's presumably 25, but looks pretty much the same age as Coop. [[spoiler: Episode 9 implies he's even younger than that, as there was no record of him prior to 1997.]]
* VomitDiscretionShot: To contrast Doppel Coop puking up garmonbozia during the Black Lodge's attempt to pull him in. We don't see him do it but right before his abduction, Dougie pukes out ''something solid'' that looks more like he hacked up a lung instead of cream corn.
* VanityLicensePlate: DUGE LV.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Returned to the Black Lodge and turned into a gold orb minutes after his first appearance, presumably for good.

The married life is not treating her well. Even then, she protects Dougie by going to meet two gangsters and giving them the money. [[spoiler: She also tries to choke out Ike while Cooper is holding him down.]]
* EatingTheEyeCandy: When Cooper's being examined at a doctor's office and she notices how much more well built he is than Dougie. It almost immediately reignites her sexual interest in her husband.

The son of Dougie and Janey-E Jones.
----
* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Despite his young age, he quickly figures out that "Dougie" is struggling with day-to-day tasks and gives him some helpful demonstrations.
* ChildrenAreInnocent: Considering what his parents are like, he's amazingly well adjusted.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Assuming he's Dougie's biological son and not stepson then Sonny Jim may certainly have some of the Black Lodge in his genes.
* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: Let's hope "Sonny" is just his nickname.
** Let's hope NOT because that means his name is [[UnfortunateName Jim Jones]].

!! Colonel Davis
->Played by: Creator/ErnieHudson
An Air Force Colonel at ThePentagon, tasked with covering up the whereabouts of Major Briggs, who seems to be found... well, ''everywhere''.... after his death
-----
* TheConspiracy: When and where Briggs' corpse reappears (it's happened ''several'' times in-universe), it's Davis' job to cover it up.
* IWasNeverHere: Briggs' mysterious resurgence in quite a few places is some super secret stuff, as Colonel Davis attests to in giving orders to his subordinate.
* RetGone: In universe, his job is to make sure Briggs is recorded as having had one and only one death.
!! Lieutenant Knox
->Played by: Adele René
An underling of Colonel Davis, also tasked with keeping [[spoiler: Briggs' many deaths]] a secret.
-----
* TheConspiracy: With Davis as her immediate superior, her job is to assist in covering up the whereabouts of a certain plot-relevant corpse.
* SheKnowsTooMuch: At least hinted at as of her most recent appearance.

!!Ike 'The Spike' Stadtler
->Played by: Christophe Zajac-Denek
There's a new little person in the world of Twin Peaks, only instead of being an AmbiguouslyEvil resident of the Black Lodge, Ike is an ice pick wielding hitman who receives his next targets from Duncan Todd in Las Vegas. His latest target: one Dougie Jones.
----
* TheAlcoholic: Keeps a bottle of Jack Daniels on a desk in his motel room and downs two tall glasses of whiskey [[spoiler: before he is arrested.]]
* AxCrazy: When he's on the job he's a snarling little person chasing after you with an ice pick and will gladly stab you a hundred times until he knows you're dead.
* BaldOfEvil: Possibly a skinhead, otherwise he just shaves his head. Either way he's not a nice fellow.
* TheBerserker: He's not the sort of hitman to MakeItLookLikeAnAccident. He runs full boar into an office building in broad daylight and brutally stabs everyone he sees while snarling like an animal. Presumably he gets hired whenever his employers want to send a message. [[spoiler: This comes back to bite him in the ass when he tries to kill Cooper by charging at him in broad day light with a pistol. Unfortunately for Ike, even in his EmptyShell state, [[TheAce the old Cooper resurfaces]] and effortlessly thwarts the assassination attempt, disarms Ike and karate chops the little creep until he runs off.]]
* BlackComedy: His second scene features him viciously stabbing a woman he had been hired to kill and her co-workers to death. After finishing off his most recent kill he looks down to see that in the process of stabbing a woman's rib cage, he had bent the blade of his ice pick. His response is to squeak out a cute little "Oh no!"
* BritishTeeth: As he snarls and stabs Lorraine to death he reveals that he has a pair of brown, distorted looking teeth.
* DepravedDwarf: A little person who is also a contract killer that prefers killing his targets with an ice pick.
* InformedAbility: He is hyped up as a skilled and efficient assassin who the police can't pin for any of the killings he's committed. However, the only hits we see him commit are ''far'' from inconspicuous (his modus operandi appears to consist solely of running up to people and screaming while trying to stab/shoot them), [[spoiler: and when he tries to kill Cooper by charging at him with a pistol drawn ''in broad daylight'', he's dispatched almost immediately and arrested soon afterwards.]]
* LittlePeopleAreSurreal: Even though his scenes take place in reality they're still bizarre and even dream like. This being a series by Creator/DavidLynch a.k.a. one of the few people who can pull this trope off without looking hacky, its not surprising that this trope came into play again.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: The weird smell a witness to his assassination attempt on Cooper describes him as having. Is it the gasoline-style odour associated with [=BOB=] and the Black Lodge, or just bad personal hygiene?
* PottyFailure: Shits himself [[spoiler:when he's arrested.]]
* SeriousBusiness: Visibly upset to learn that he bent the blade of his beloved ice pick after stabbing two women to death.
* SpySpeak: In episode 9, he leaves a cryptic message on his employer's answering machine about his failed assassination on Dougie and his immanent exit:
-->"No cigar. Taking medical leave."
* WeaponOfChoice: Again the ice pick.
* WouldHitAGirl: More like stab, stab, stab and stab a girl.
!!The Mitchum Brothers (Rodney and Bradley)
->Played by: Robert Knepper and Jim Belushi
A pair of mobsters who own the casino in which [[spoiler: Cooper manages to win 30 million dollars.]]
----
* CloningGambit: Heavily implied to have been [[spoiler: created by BOB to con the Black Lodge and avoid returning.]]
* CloudCuckooLander: Aside from his sleazy and hedonistic traits, Dougie originally seems like he's more or less a normal person. However, comments made by Dougie's wife and co-workers to EmptyShell Cooper after he takes Dougie's place seem to reveal that people aren't immediately tipped off by Cooper's bizarre behavior because Dougie had a habit of having "episodes" and spacing out.
-->'''Phil Bisby:''' Off in dreamland again, eh Dougie?
* DullSurprise: Like a true copy of Cooper, he takes his abduction into the Black Lodge, hand deflating, his body disintegrating into black smoke and transforming into a tiny golden orb remarkably well.
-->'''Dougie:''' That's... weird.
* FatBastard: Many character note that Cooper weighs ''much'' less than Dougie, a man who 1) got his family into serious debt with dangerous people, 2) frequently drinks, gambles, and cheats in his free time, and 3) is utterly incompetent at his insurance job.
* TheFool: He goes through his day like a zombie but still manages to win $452,000 at a casino, save his company and its clients as well as his own life by the power of intuition.
* HeCleansUpNicely: Seeing as Dougie is just a schlubby, less fashionable version of Cooper. When Cooper takes his place, everyone familiar with Dougie thinks he went on a diet, got a haircut and bought new clothes while remarking on how sharp he looks.
* HenpeckedHusband: Implied, given Janey's initial nonchalance to "Dougie's" odd silence when she confronts him for missing Sonny Jim's birthday. However, Dougie's sleazy, cheating behavior makes it clear that her nagging is ''completely'' justified.
* HumanoidAbomination: He's more of a sleazy, modern day businessman instead of a psychopath like Doppel Coop, but seeing as Dougie is another doppelganger he was still created out of thin air/black smoke.
* OurClonesAreIdentical: Played with. While ''extremely'' similar to Cooper, it's noted that Cooper is much thinner and barely fits into Dougie's clothes.
* PosthumousCharacter: Functions as such. Most of his life is uncovered during Cooper's impersonation.
* ReallyWasBornYesterday: He's presumably 25, but looks pretty much the same age as Coop. [[spoiler: Episode 9 implies he's even younger than that, as there was no record of him prior to 1997.]]
* VomitDiscretionShot: To contrast Doppel Coop puking up garmonbozia during the Black Lodge's attempt to pull him in. We don't see him do it but right before his abduction, Dougie pukes out ''something solid'' that looks more like he hacked up a lung instead of cream corn.
* VanityLicensePlate: DUGE LV.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Returned to the Black Lodge and turned into a gold orb minutes after his first appearance, presumably for good.
* YourCheatingHeart: Has a wife and son but his very first appearance shows Dougie having just finished shacking up with a prostitute in an empty suburban home for sale.
!!Janey-E Jones
->Played by: Creator/NaomiWatts
Dougie's wife, a surburban mom increasingly concerned about Dougie's strange behavior.
----
* AwfulWeddedLife: Her husband is a dirtbag who was apparently gone for two days ''before'' Cooper accidentally took his place, as well as landed them $50k in debt. The married life is not treating her well. Even then, she protects Dougie by going to meet two gangsters and giving them the money. [[spoiler: She also tries to choke out Ike while Cooper is holding him down.]]
* EatingTheEyeCandy: When Cooper's being examined at a doctor's office and she notices how much more well built he is than Dougie. It almost immediately reignites her sexual interest in her husband.
* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: [[spoiler: After what is implied to have been a SexlessMarriage with Dougie, her first night with Cooper is a nearly ecstatic experience for her]].
* TheImmodestOrgasm: [[spoiler: Enough to wake Sonny Jim up]].
* MundaneSolution: Her TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to the two gangsters, which consists entirely of complaining about being part of a disadvantaged middle class... and then walking away.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gets two gangster bookies her husband owes money to leave her family alone... with a political rant about economic inequality.

A close compatriot of ???????, exact relation unknown although she appears to be family either by marriage or blood. So far, she has appeared to express shock and terror at the fate of a New Mexico town at the hands of an atomic bomb, and eventually The Woodsmen.
----
* BigGood: Is clearly indicated as a (silent but expressive) voice of morality among the story's supernatural beings.
* HeroicMime: Imagine an immensely supernaturally powerful silent movie starlet, and you've got Dido.
* HotWitch: A {{Retraux}} example, she recalls L. Frank Baum's Good Witch of the South in the original ''Oz'' novels.
* LightIsGood: Her shining wardrobe is clearly meant to evoke this.
* RaygunGothic: Her expressionist makeup and extravagant costume recall the surreal and flamboyant aesthetics of silent science fiction cinema such as ''Metropolis'' and ''A Trip to the Moon''. Hers and the Giant's mansion is also built in a Deco-esque science fiction style.
!!The Woodsmen
->Played by: Robert Broski (''The Return: Part 8''), and Jurgen Prochnow & David Brisbin (''Fire Walk with Me'' & ''The Missing Pieces''). Others portrayed by Stewart Strauss (''The Return: Parts 2 & 8''), Gabriel Lane, Christian Calloway, and three unidentified performers (all in ''The Return: Parts 7, & 8'')
A group of ObviouslyEvil aliens, demonic sprites, or [[MindScrew something]], who take the form of homeless vagrants and lumberjacks. Known to participate in carjackings, murders, parasitic invasions, and other general mischief. They nearly ''always'' appear in pure black and white and may have a connection to the Black Lodge and/or BOB. One in particular credited as "The Woodsman" appeared in New Mexico during the 1950's to dish out some good old fashioned unspeakable terror.
------
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: As with the appearance of any supernatural character, their exaggerated appearance as lumberjacks and vagrants is strongly implied to be because that's the closest thing our minds can make sense of how they actually look.
* ArcWords: For [[EliteMooks The Woodsman]]:
** ''"Gotta light?"''
** ''"This is the water, and this is the well \\
Drink full, and descend \\
The horse is the white of the eyes and dark within."''
* BeardOfEvil: The woodsmen have straggly matted facial hair. [[UncannyValley Some of them even appear to wear large, obviously fake beards]].
* BlackSpeech: Their voices are weirdly distorted.
* BrownNote: Their above mentioned BlackSpeech seems to have this effect at least for that unfortunate middle-aged couple they accosted.
* DarkIsEvil: With the exception of their milky white eyes they are covered head to toe in oil or ash or... something and unlike most supernatural beings (save BOB) who operate on BlueAndOrangeMorality, the Woodsmen seem set on committing evil deeds.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: With the exception of the woodsmen who appear in ''Fire Walk With Me'', in ''The Return'' the woodsmen ''always'' appear in pure black and white, whether they are in the past or the present.
* EarlyBirdCameo: In ''Fire Walk With Me'', during the Phillip Jeffries scene where reality breaks down and flashes to BOB, The Arm and other Black Lodge spirits converging in the [[TheLittleShopThatWasntThereYesterday convenience store]], beings who resemble the Woodsmen can be seen sitting in the background. A terrified old lady who may or may not be a woodsman also briefly appears at the Fat Trout Trailer Park, complete with jarring BrownNote and general sense of unease, while Chet and Stanley stop by to ask about Teresa Banks.
* EldritchAbomination: They are quite unnerving and clearly otherworldly powerful.
* EmotionEater: Swarm around the convenience store built on the ground originally used for nuclear bomb testing like locusts, presumably to feast on all the suffering that resulted from this location.
* EvilSoundsDeep: All the ones who speak have inhumanly deep, gravelly voices.
* FacialHorror: What's Black and White and eerily expressionless all over?
* GreenAesop: It's ''very'' strongly implied their existence is somehow connected to nuclear tests that knocked out part of America's desert wilderness, making [[MindScrew various strange and usually bad things happen]].
* GutturalGrowler: They sound (and look) like Music/TomWaits impersonators.
* {{Hobos}}: They ''look'' like these, but they're really much worse.
* HumanoidAbomination: They look like homeless vagrants or lumberjacks covered in grime but they are far, far from human.
* TheLegionsOfHell: May or may not be the equivalent of cockroaches from the Black Lodge. They certainly give Ray this impression when they creepily appear out of thin air and stampede towards the recently killed Doppel Dale.
* LivingShadow: They can materialize or float away in a cloud of vapor/smoke.
* MadnessMantra: The weird incantation they repeat over the radio, which causes all who hear it to lose consciousness.
* MythologyGag: Anyone familiar with Lynch's other work will certainly have unpleasant memories of [[Film/MulhollandDrive whatever the hell that thing outside Winkie's was]] resurface.
* ObviouslyEvil: Their entire appearance is hinted at with a brown note, and they help out the BigBad of the series while giving anyone else who sees them the heebie jeebies at best and a caved in skull at worst.
* PuppeteerParasite: Appears to be their main weapon, in addition to their skills in hypnotism and reviving the dead.
* RealityWarper: As with the Lodge creatures. They are hinted to be connected to an invasion of parasitic aliens in 1940s/50s New Mexico. They also appeared to revive Mr. C from the dead.
* SerialKiller: A deserted New Mexico town becomes their bloody playground. Oh, does it ever.
* SmokingIsCool: A-fucking-verted.
* SuperStrength: They can crush people's skulls with their bare hands.
* WordSaladHorror: They can use hypnotism through nonsense-sounding phrases to both knock out anyone who hears them and command a parasite to infest a human host.
* ZombieGait: They walk around like stereotypical movie zombies.

* HotWitch: A {{Retraux}} example, she recalls L. Frank Baum's Good Witch of the South in the original ''Oz'' novels.
* LightIsGood: Her shining wardrobe is clearly meant to evoke this.
* RaygunGothic: Her expressionist makeup and extravagant costume recall the surreal and flamboyant aesthetics of silent science fiction cinema such as ''Metropolis'' and ''A Trip to the Moon''. Hers and the Giant's mansion is also built in a Deco-esque science fiction style.
!!The Woodsmen
->Played by: Robert Broski (''The Return: Part 8''), and Jurgen Prochnow & David Brisbin (''Fire Walk with Me'' & ''The Missing Pieces''). Others portrayed by Stewart Strauss (''The Return: Parts 2 & 8''), Gabriel Lane, Christian Calloway, and three unidentified performers (all in ''The Return: Parts 7, & 8'')
A group of ObviouslyEvil aliens, demonic sprites, or [[MindScrew something]], who take the form of homeless vagrants and lumberjacks. Known to participate in carjackings, murders, parasitic invasions, and other general mischief. They nearly ''always'' appear in pure black and white and may have a connection to the Black Lodge and/or BOB. One in particular credited as "The Woodsman" appeared in New Mexico during the 1950's to dish out some good old fashioned unspeakable terror.
------
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: As with the appearance of any supernatural character, their exaggerated appearance as lumberjacks and vagrants is strongly implied to be because that's the closest thing our minds can make sense of how they actually look.
* ArcWords: For [[EliteMooks The Woodsman]]:
** ''"Gotta light?"''
** ''"This is the water, and this is the well \\
Drink full, and descend \\
The horse is the white of the eyes and dark within."''
* BeardOfEvil: The woodsmen have straggly matted facial hair. [[UncannyValley Some of them even appear to wear large, obviously fake beards]].
* BlackSpeech: Their voices are weirdly distorted.
* BrownNote: Their above mentioned BlackSpeech seems to have this effect at least for that unfortunate middle-aged couple they accosted.
* DarkIsEvil: With the exception of their milky white eyes they are covered head to toe in oil or ash or... something and unlike most supernatural beings (save BOB) who operate on BlueAndOrangeMorality, the Woodsmen seem set on committing evil deeds.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: With the exception of the woodsmen who appear in ''Fire Walk With Me'', in ''The Return'' the woodsmen ''always'' appear in pure black and white, whether they are in the past or the present.
* EarlyBirdCameo: In ''Fire Walk With Me'', during the Phillip Jeffries scene where reality breaks down and flashes to BOB, The Arm and other Black Lodge spirits converging in the [[TheLittleShopThatWasntThereYesterday convenience store]], beings who resemble the Woodsmen can be seen sitting in the background. A terrified old lady who may or may not be a woodsman also briefly appears at the Fat Trout Trailer Park, complete with jarring BrownNote and general sense of unease, while Chet and Stanley stop by to ask about Teresa Banks.
* EldritchAbomination: They are quite unnerving and clearly otherworldly powerful.
* EmotionEater: Swarm around the convenience store built on the ground originally used for nuclear bomb testing like locusts, presumably to feast on all the suffering that resulted from this location.
* EvilSoundsDeep: All the ones who speak have inhumanly deep, gravelly voices.
* FacialHorror: What's Black and White and eerily expressionless all over?
* GreenAesop: It's ''very'' strongly implied their existence is somehow connected to nuclear tests that knocked out part of America's desert wilderness, making [[MindScrew various strange and usually bad things happen]].
* GutturalGrowler: They sound (and look) like Music/TomWaits impersonators.
* {{Hobos}}: They ''look'' like these, but they're really much worse.
* HumanoidAbomination: They look like homeless vagrants or lumberjacks covered in grime but they are far, far from human.
* TheLegionsOfHell: May or may not be the equivalent of cockroaches from the Black Lodge. They certainly give Ray this impression when they creepily appear out of thin air and stampede towards the recently killed Doppel Dale.
* LivingShadow: They can materialize or float away in a cloud of vapor/smoke.
* MadnessMantra: The weird incantation they repeat over the radio, which causes all who hear it to lose consciousness.
* MythologyGag: Anyone familiar with Lynch's other work will certainly have unpleasant memories of [[Film/MulhollandDrive whatever the hell that thing outside Winkie's was]] resurface.
* ObviouslyEvil: Their entire appearance is hinted at with a brown note, and they help out the BigBad of the series while giving anyone else who sees them the heebie jeebies at best and a caved in skull at worst.
* PuppeteerParasite: Appears to be their main weapon, in addition to their skills in hypnotism and reviving the dead.
* RealityWarper: As with the Lodge creatures. They are hinted to be connected to an invasion of parasitic aliens in 1940s/50s New Mexico. They also appeared to revive Mr. C from the dead.
* SerialKiller: A deserted New Mexico town becomes their bloody playground. Oh, does it ever.
* SmokingIsCool: A-fucking-verted.
* SuperStrength: They can crush people's skulls with their bare hands.
* WordSaladHorror: They can use hypnotism through nonsense-sounding phrases to both knock out anyone who hears them and command a parasite to infest a human host.
* ZombieGait: They walk around like stereotypical movie zombies.

* EldritchAbomination: Even moreso than the other spiritual beings in the series. It looks ''nothing'' like a human being, violently kills the only people unfortunate enough to meet it, and is heavily implied to be [[spoiler: the creator of BOB]].
* EyelessFace: Doesn't appear to have any eyes.

!! The Black Lodge and The White Lodge
Enigmatic supernatural entities who live in the woods around Twin Peaks.
----
* BlackSpeech: Their distorted, reversed voices can be considered a variant of this trope.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: They have their own strange code of ethics that make no sense on a human level.
* CreationStory: In ''The Return'', they get one to rival most classic myths.
* CrypticConversation: They speak mainly in vague hints and omens.
* DemonicPossession: At least two of the Lodge creatures assume human form in the personality of an existing person, manipulating their actions.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: Everyone and everything in the White Lodge shows up in black and white. Of course, so do the woodsmen whenever they show up.
* DreamWeaver: Seemingly their main way of communicating with mortals.
* EldritchAbomination: They're spiritual beings from another plane of reality who frequently possess and manipulate human beings.
* EmotionEater: They feed on "garmonbozia", the pain and suffering of mortal beings.
* EnergyBeings: They can apparently travel through electricity.
* TheFairFolk: They're not ''fairies'' per se, but they certainly fit the spirit of the trope. In ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'', the Archivist speculates that their interactions with humanity throughout history might be the reason why the trope came into existence in-universe.
* HumanoidAbomination: Most of them appear this way, though it may be a case of AFormYouAreComfortableWith.
* TheLittleShopThatWasntThereYesterday: An effect of their RealityWarper traits -- they once lived above a convenience store on a floor that no longer exists and are implied to have abducted an entire trailer park (assuming it wasn't aliens).
* RealityWarper: They have the power to possess human hosts, create doppelgangers of people who enter the Black Lodge and unleash them on the world (sometimes making it appear as if they were there all along), and make entire houses and floors of buildings disappear and/or reappear. Electricity also starts acting in strange ways whenever they're present.
* RaygunGothic: The apparent wardrobe and aesthetic choices of the White Lodge.
* {{Ultraterrestrials}}: Heavily implied in ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks''. Both Douglas Milford and the Archivist come to believe that whatever they are, they have been around on Earth long before the early mankind walked out of woods (and maybe mankind even left the woods in the first place out of fear for them), and have been behind a lot -- if not all -- of recorded paranormal activity through human history.
* XanatosGambit: [[spoiler: They seem to have implemented two.]]
** [[spoiler: Episode 8 of ''The Return'' seems to imply that before the main events of the series The Giant/????? and Señorita Dido, upon learning about the forces of evil like BOB who were born from the Trinity nuclear tests, created Laura Palmer through divine immaculate conception to combat BOB's evil so that she would die a martyr and create a legacy that would lead to BOB's defeat.]]
** [[spoiler: The Lodge appears to have implemented a second gambit in ''The Return'' with their release of Cooper from his lengthy stay in the Black Lodge and how they have gone out of their way towards guiding EmptyShell Cooper to fulfill their as of yet unrevealed plans.]]

----
* AnimalMotifs: He's associated with owls.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: [[spoiler: Given his possession of Leland and his role in Leland's backstory, it's not hard to read BOB as the personification of child abuse.]]
** ''The Return'' then loosely extends the metaphor: [[spoiler:he also represents the "rape" of the environment by nuclear testing and the defilement of humanity by the H-bomb.]]
* AxCrazy: Now, when most people say that one character ''is'' a
* BigBad: One way or another, Twin Peaks' problems are his doing.
* BodySnatcher: Of the DemonicPossession variety.
* ContinuitySnarl: His origins are given in ''Part 8'' of ''The Return'' while also being included in ''The Secret of Twin Peaks.'' Both are contradictory while also being canon. [[spoiler: ''The Return'' claims Bob was created by the Trinity nuclear tests while TSHOTP claims the owl-shaped spirit has existed far longer. This could be a SubvertedTrope in the most bizarre way, though. Given time doesn't exist in the Black Lodge and the tests could have just allowed him in, these aren't necessarily contradictory. The TSHOTP is also an in-universe document that has other contradictions to the show deliberately put inside it.]]
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Played with, in that he "gets to know" those he possesses and controls their base desires. In the original run this takes the form of [[spoiler: Leland]]'s darker and more harmful abusive sexual urges, represented by BOB's chaotic style of raping and murdering his victims to take garmonbozia from them. It therefore makes sense that 25 years later, while [[spoiler: possessing Cooper]], BOB takes on some of [[spoiler: Cooper]]'s highly controlled and logical personality and channels it into more elaborate, long-term strategies to harvest garmonbozia from his victims. Also arguably justifiable as him trying to stay further off of the Black Lodge's radar, although [[spoiler:he seems to genuinely enjoy playing with his
* DemonicPossession: When he isn't murdering or terrorizing his future victims, BOB takes special interest in hot wiring the body and
* DepravedBisexual: [[spoiler:It's implied that he molested Leland when he was younger]].
* TheDreaded: No one that knows BOB wants anything to do with him, even his Black Lodge friends.
* EmotionEater: He feeds on the pain and suffering of humans.
* EvilLaugh: Tends to laugh maniacally during his crimes.
* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: [[spoiler:A deleted scene from ''Fire Walk With Me'', which was released in ''The Missing Pieces'', sees BOB in control of Cooper's body and trying to emulate Cooper's sense of humor, and... not really doing a good job of it.]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Possessed-Cooper:''' I slipped and hit my head on the mirror. The glass broke when my head struck it... ''(with an ominous smile)'' It struck me as funny, Harry. ''(with a sudden vague hint of threat in his voice)'' Do you understand me? It ''struck'' me as ''funny''.]]
* EvilSmellsBad: A sign of BOB's presence is an inexplicable smell of oil or gasoline.
* EvilerThanThou: He manages to violate even the morals of the Black Lodge, a realm of ''pure evil'', to the point where the other Lodge spirits try to capture him.
* FauxAffablyEvil: His behavior while possessing [[spoiler: Leland]] exemplifies this.
* ForTheEvulz: The only reason he does anything. He feeds on pain and suffering, after all.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: It seems that the other residents of the Black Lodge, including his former partner in evil MIKE are pretty fed up with BOB's antics either because he's somehow violating the Lodge's BlueAndOrangeMorality or because he is hogging all of the garmonbozia for himself.
* FusionDance: [[spoiler: A chilling image of BOB's face mixed with Evil Cooper's face in episode 5 of ''The Return'' seems to imply that BOB has merged with the Evil Doppelganger of Cooper that he created but leaves the Coopelganger in control while residing dormant within him.]]
* GrandTheftMe: To [[spoiler:Leland]] and later [[spoiler:Cooper]].
* GreenAesop: In ''The Return'', he is implied to be a product of environmental ruin caused by [[spoiler: the H-bomb]].
* GutturalGrowler: He has a low, raspy voice.
* TheHeartless: Albert speculates that BOB is "the evil that men do" and can't really be destroyed AsLongAsThereIsEvil.
* HiddenVillain: He's seen from time to time during the first season, but it's not until the second that we learn unambiguously that his name is BOB, and much later till we learn his role in the story. [[spoiler: In ''The Return'' it appears that BOB is laying low in the body of Doppel Coop.]]
* HumanoidAbomination: BOB is obviously a kind of demon or something, but he looks like a perfectly average human.
* KnightOfCerebus: Whenever he gets involved at any point in the show, things are guaranteed to get pretty bad. Not to mention frightening. In fact, BOB is arguably single-handedly responsible for most of the darkest elements in the show and most ''definitely'' in the prequel film. Plus, if you look at the NightmareFuel page for the show, he's responsible for at least 80% of the entries, being the main reason most of those scenes are considered scary.
* LargeHam: Justified (sort of) in that he is not played by a professional actor but by a set dresser who happened to find himself [[ThrowItIn accidentally foreshadowed in certain scenes]].
* LimitedWardrobe: Always seen in the same denim vest and jeans.
* MadeOfEvil: His origin story in ''The Return'' makes it clear that he was fully developed bad news from the very get-go.
* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Not even technically an actor as Frank Silva was just a film crew member who was added to the cast after a ThrowItIn. But behind the scenes interviews show the late Frank Silva in full BOB garb (messy hair and denim vest) as soft spoken and thoughtful in all his responses.
* MindRape: To his direct victims, actual rape for the others.
* MirrorMonster: One of the most iconic in television history.
* TheMirrorShowsYourTrueSelf: Whenever he's possessing someone, his reflection shows up in mirrors in place of the victim's.
* MultipleChoicePast: See ContinuitySnarl above. BOB has multiple origins that are all considered canon.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: How he kills [[spoiler: Maddy]].
* OminousOwl: A dream sequence pretty overtly aligns him with the owls [[ArcWords not being what they seem]].
* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Implied - the creatures in the Black Lodge feed off pain and suffering, which suggests that BOB's predilection for rape (not to mention [[spoiler:incest]]) is partly motivated by the level of suffering it causes in the victim.
* RealityWarper: [[spoiler: The Black Lodge seems to automatically create doppelgangers on its own but ''The Return'' heavily implies that BOB was able to conjure up his own doppelganger of Cooper, Dougie Jones, to trick the Black Lodge and avoid being sucked back in.]]
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Kind of. Frank Silva was barely but ''clearly'' visible in a certain shot in the pilot [[note]]In the reflection of the mirror at the top right of the shot, when Sarah Palmer wakes up and screams at the end of the episode[[/note]]. They easily could have done another take, but David Lynch decided to ThrowItIn and build an entire terrifying character around a single bad take.
* RecursiveAcronym: '''B'''eware '''O'''f '''B'''OB.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler: In the middle of Season 2 after Cooper and Co. have cracked the Laura Palmer case and have Leland dead to rights, BOB taunts everyone and hightails it out of Leland's body but not before making Leland bash his head in as a parting gift.]]
* SerialKiller: Or rather, turns people into one.
* ShoutOut: A messy haired, HumanoidAbomination that rocks a denim vest and jeans with a hobby for appearing in your nightmares? Are we sure BOB's initials aren't [[Literature/TheStand R.F]]?
* SlasherSmile: Just look at his picture!
* SymbioticPossession: [[spoiler: Unlike with Leland who he controlled mercilessly, BOB seems to have this kind of relationship with the Evil Dale Cooper doppelganger he created. They both share the same goal of collecting garmonbozia and work together to avoid being sucked back into the Black Lodge. BOB!Cooper does all of the physical work while BOB remains mostly dormant but influences Doppel Coop's physical appearance and helps maintain the Doppelganger's status as TheDreaded.]]
* TomTheDarkLord: He is a demonic entity who feeds on fear and pleasure and comes from an alternate plane of reality that consists of pure evil. He goes by the name BOB.
* TheUnfettered: "You may think I've ''gone insane'', but '''I promise, I will''' '''''KILL AGAIN!'''''"
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Implied to be the case with the owls, and certainly the case with his human hosts, who can appear as themselves or as BOB depending on what he feels like doing.
* WouldHitAGirl: And he'll do it with someone else's hands too.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: With MIKE; before the events of the series the two seemed to have a VillainousFriendship.
* WildHair: Long, grey, and messy. [[spoiler: Given enough time, the hair of the Cooper doppelganger he creates becomes extremely similar.]]
* YourSoulIsMine: [[spoiler: Extracts Window Earle's soul from his body in the last episode of Season 2 after Earle breaks the rules of the Lodge. BOB also leaves Cooper and apparently Leland's souls in the Lodge to rot for all eternity.]]

** In Episode 6, a couple of his subordinates are even seen giving each other "sucks to be him" looks.
* InnocentBigot: According to ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'', he gave Hawk his nickname, which Hawk admits to finding condescending. While the nickname stuck, Hawk largely considers the incident a case of ValuesDissonance that Franklin grew out of.

* HonestCorporateExecutive: Despite the fact he's a corporate raider, he's depicted as fixing damaged businesses so they'll flourish while also making them eco-friendly. In short, the very opposite of Ben Horne.
* ImprobableAge: A DownplayedTrope example. Billy Zane was about 25 when Twin Peaks aired and while it's not IMPOSSIBLE for Jack to have done all the things he's done, it's somewhat unlikely.

* BlackSpeech: Their distorted, reversed voices can be considered a variant of this trope.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: They have their own strange code of ethics that make no sense on a human level.
* CreationStory: In ''The Return'', they get one to rival most classic myths.
* CrypticConversation: They speak mainly in vague hints and omens.
* DemonicPossession: At least two of the Lodge creatures assume human form in the personality of an existing person, manipulating their actions.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: Everyone and everything in the White Lodge shows up in black and white. Of course, so do the woodsmen whenever they show up.
* DreamWeaver: Seemingly their main way of communicating with mortals.
* EldritchAbomination: They're spiritual beings from another plane of reality who frequently possess and manipulate human beings.
* EmotionEater: They feed on "garmonbozia", the pain and suffering of mortal beings.
* EnergyBeings: They can apparently travel through electricity.
* TheFairFolk: They're not ''fairies'' per se, but they certainly fit the spirit of the trope. In ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'', the Archivist speculates that their interactions with humanity throughout history might be the reason why the trope came into existence in-universe.
* HumanoidAbomination: Most of them appear this way, though it may be a case of AFormYouAreComfortableWith.
* TheLittleShopThatWasntThereYesterday: An effect of their RealityWarper traits -- they once lived above a convenience store on a floor that no longer exists and are implied to have abducted an entire trailer park (assuming it wasn't aliens).
* RealityWarper: They have the power to possess human hosts, create doppelgangers of people who enter the Black Lodge and unleash them on the world (sometimes making it appear as if they were there all along), and make entire houses and floors of buildings disappear and/or reappear. Electricity also starts acting in strange ways whenever they're present.
* RaygunGothic: The apparent wardrobe and aesthetic choices of the White Lodge.
* {{Ultraterrestrials}}: Heavily implied in ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks''. Both Douglas Milford and the Archivist come to believe that whatever they are, they have been around on Earth long before the early mankind walked out of woods (and maybe mankind even left the woods in the first place out of fear for them), and have been behind a lot -- if not all -- of recorded paranormal activity through human history.

* FatalFlaw: For how easily he manages to operate on a day-to-day, he's too evil to know how to imitate [[NiceGuy Cooper]] and proves to be utterly incapable of tricking Gordon and Albert.

* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Like Frank Silva before him, Creator/KyleMacLachlan's personality is light years away from such an evil character.
* ObviouslyEvil: Dark clothing and CreepyMonotone aside, everyone who's known Cooper can't help noticing that there's something inherently [[UncannyValley wrong]] with his character that tips them off that he's not the real one.
* OneHitKill: Caves [[spoiler: Renzo's]] face in with one punch as retribution for [[BullyingADragon being punched by him earlier]].
* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: [[spoiler:He's strongly implied to have raped Diane, and as such, she finds him — who she initially mistakes for the real Cooper — to be revolting and refuses to have anything more to do with him. Of course, he ''is'' possessed by BOB, so this is a given.]]
* SerialKiller: Kills at least two people in the first episode of ''The Return'' and there's no telling how high he's ranked his body count over the years.
* ShoutOut: Kyle [=MachLachlan=] says his appearance is derived from that Creator/JavierBardem's portrayal of [[Literature/NoCountryForOldMen Anton Chigurh]]. He also shares a few personality traits with him.
* TheSociopath: Yessir.
* TheStoic: Twenty five years of becoming accustomed to his body have led Coopelganger to never raise his tone or let a slip of emotion show.
* SuperStrength: Completely ''destroys'' [[spoiler: Renzo, a '' very'' strong man, in an arm wrestling match before crushing his skull with a single punch to the face.]]
* TomTheDarkLord: Another similarity to BOB. When you hear the name "Cooper" you could see why it would go hand in hand with a heroic idealist like Dale Cooper but not a wanted criminal and HumanoidAbomination like Coopelganger.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Even if he isn't actually BOB himself he might as well be. As mentioned above, he emulates BOB's physical appearance and style whilst operating as the BigBad evil force of the Black Lodge. The abundance of similarities is why many fans originally believed that the Doppelganger was still BOB himself.
* SymbioticPossession: Seems to have this going on with BOB.
* UncannyValley: An InUniverse example. Everyone who's met the guy and known the real Cooper is quick to realize that there's something horribly ''off'' about him.
* VomitIndiscretionShot: In Episode 3 of ''The Return'', BOB!Cooper pulls over to the side of the road and pukes out an enormous amount of garmonbozia (cream corn) after narrowly avoiding the Black Lodge's attempt to pull him back in and replace him with Cooper.

* WouldHitAGirl: He hits and [[spoiler:then kills]] Daria.
* WildHair: Grows his hair out to resemble BOB's.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Like Dougie he's only 25, but being originally created as a doppelganger to the then 30-something year old Cooper has led him to resemble a man pushing 60 twenty five years after Season 2.

->Played by:
The show's [[BigBad main villain]]. He is the chief suspect for the murder of Laura Palmer for much of the early season until it is discovered things are much more complicated than that.
A sleazy insurance salesman with a strange similarity to Dale Cooper.
Changed line(s) 1047,1107 (click to see context) from:
* AnimalMotifs: He's associated with owls.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: [[spoiler: Given his possession of Leland and his role in Leland's backstory, it's not hard to read BOB as the personification of child abuse.]]
** ''The Return'' then loosely extends the metaphor: [[spoiler:he also represents the "rape" of the environment by nuclear testing and the defilement of humanity by the H-bomb.]]
* AxCrazy: Now, when most people say that one character ''is'' a trope, they don't mean it this literally...
* BigBad: One way or another, Twin Peaks' problems are his doing.
* BodySnatcher: Of the DemonicPossession variety.
* ContinuitySnarl: His origins are given in ''Part 8'' of ''The Return'' while also being included in ''The Secret of Twin Peaks.'' Both are contradictory while also being canon. [[spoiler: ''The Return'' claims Bob was created by the Trinity nuclear tests while TSHOTP claims the owl-shaped spirit has existed far longer. This could be a SubvertedTrope in the most bizarre way, though. Given time doesn't exist in the Black Lodge and the tests could have just allowed him in, these aren't necessarily contradictory. The TSHOTP is also an in-universe document that has other contradictions to the show deliberately put inside it.]]
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Played with, in that he "gets to know" those he possesses and controls their base desires. In the original run this takes the form of [[spoiler: Leland]]'s darker and more harmful abusive sexual urges, represented by BOB's chaotic style of raping and murdering his victims to take garmonbozia from them. It therefore makes sense that 25 years later, while [[spoiler: possessing Cooper]], BOB takes on some of [[spoiler: Cooper]]'s highly controlled and logical personality and channels it into more elaborate, long-term strategies to harvest garmonbozia from his victims. Also arguably justifiable as him trying to stay further off of the Black Lodge's radar, although [[spoiler:he seems to genuinely enjoy playing with his food]].
* DemonicPossession: When he isn't murdering or terrorizing his future victims, BOB takes special interest in hot wiring the body and mind of whoever is unfortunate enough to be his vessel. [[spoiler:Just ask poor Leland and Coop.]]
* DepravedBisexual: [[spoiler:It's implied that he molested Leland when he was younger]].
* TheDreaded: No one that knows BOB wants anything to do with him, even his Black Lodge friends.
* EmotionEater: He feeds on the pain and suffering of humans.
* EvilLaugh: Tends to laugh maniacally during his crimes.
* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: [[spoiler:A deleted scene from ''Fire Walk With Me'', which was released in ''The Missing Pieces'', sees BOB in control of Cooper's body and trying to emulate Cooper's sense of humor, and... not really doing a good job of it.]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Possessed-Cooper:''' I slipped and hit my head on the mirror. The glass broke when my head struck it... ''(with an ominous smile)'' It struck me as funny, Harry. ''(with a sudden vague hint of threat in his voice)'' Do you understand me? It ''struck'' me as ''funny''.]]
* EvilSmellsBad: A sign of BOB's presence is an inexplicable smell of oil or gasoline.
* EvilerThanThou: He manages to violate even the morals of the Black Lodge, a realm of ''pure evil'', to the point where the other Lodge spirits try to capture him.
* FauxAffablyEvil: His behavior while possessing [[spoiler: Leland]] exemplifies this.
* ForTheEvulz: The only reason he does anything. He feeds on pain and suffering, after all.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: It seems that the other residents of the Black Lodge, including his former partner in evil MIKE are pretty fed up with BOB's antics either because he's somehow violating the Lodge's BlueAndOrangeMorality or because he is hogging all of the garmonbozia for himself.
* FusionDance: [[spoiler: A chilling image of BOB's face mixed with Evil Cooper's face in episode 5 of ''The Return'' seems to imply that BOB has merged with the Evil Doppelganger of Cooper that he created but leaves the Coopelganger in control while residing dormant within him.]]
* GrandTheftMe: To [[spoiler:Leland]] and later [[spoiler:Cooper]].
* GreenAesop: In ''The Return'', he is implied to be a product of environmental ruin caused by [[spoiler: the H-bomb]].
* GutturalGrowler: He has a low, raspy voice.
* TheHeartless: Albert speculates that BOB is "the evil that men do" and can't really be destroyed AsLongAsThereIsEvil.
* HiddenVillain: He's seen from time to time during the first season, but it's not until the second that we learn unambiguously that his name is BOB, and much later till we learn his role in the story. [[spoiler: In ''The Return'' it appears that BOB is laying low in the body of Doppel Coop.]]
* HumanoidAbomination: BOB is obviously a kind of demon or something, but he looks like a perfectly average human.
* KnightOfCerebus: Whenever he gets involved at any point in the show, things are guaranteed to get pretty bad. Not to mention frightening. In fact, BOB is arguably single-handedly responsible for most of the darkest elements in the show and most ''definitely'' in the prequel film. Plus, if you look at the NightmareFuel page for the show, he's responsible for at least 80% of the entries, being the main reason most of those scenes are considered scary.
* LargeHam: Justified (sort of) in that he is not played by a professional actor but by a set dresser who happened to find himself [[ThrowItIn accidentally foreshadowed in certain scenes]].
* LimitedWardrobe: Always seen in the same denim vest and jeans.
* MadeOfEvil: His origin story in ''The Return'' makes it clear that he was fully developed bad news from the very get-go.
* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Not even technically an actor as Frank Silva was just a film crew member who was added to the cast after a ThrowItIn. But behind the scenes interviews show the late Frank Silva in full BOB garb (messy hair and denim vest) as soft spoken and thoughtful in all his responses.
* MindRape: To his direct victims, actual rape for the others.
* MirrorMonster: One of the most iconic in television history.
* TheMirrorShowsYourTrueSelf: Whenever he's possessing someone, his reflection shows up in mirrors in place of the victim's.
* MultipleChoicePast: See ContinuitySnarl above. BOB has multiple origins that are all considered canon.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: How he kills [[spoiler: Maddy]].
* OminousOwl: A dream sequence pretty overtly aligns him with the owls [[ArcWords not being what they seem]].
* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Implied - the creatures in the Black Lodge feed off pain and suffering, which suggests that BOB's predilection for rape (not to mention [[spoiler:incest]]) is partly motivated by the level of suffering it causes in the victim.
* RealityWarper: [[spoiler: The Black Lodge seems to automatically create doppelgangers on its own but ''The Return'' heavily implies that BOB was able to conjure up his own doppelganger of Cooper, Dougie Jones, to trick the Black Lodge and avoid being sucked back in.]]
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Kind of. Frank Silva was barely but ''clearly'' visible in a certain shot in the pilot [[note]]In the reflection of the mirror at the top right of the shot, when Sarah Palmer wakes up and screams at the end of the episode[[/note]]. They easily could have done another take, but David Lynch decided to ThrowItIn and build an entire terrifying character around a single bad take.
* RecursiveAcronym: '''B'''eware '''O'''f '''B'''OB.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler: In the middle of Season 2 after Cooper and Co. have cracked the Laura Palmer case and have Leland dead to rights, BOB taunts everyone and hightails it out of Leland's body but not before making Leland bash his head in as a parting gift.]]
* SerialKiller: Or rather, turns people into one.
* ShoutOut: A messy haired, HumanoidAbomination that rocks a denim vest and jeans with a hobby for appearing in your nightmares? Are we sure BOB's initials aren't [[Literature/TheStand R.F]]?
* SlasherSmile: Just look at his picture!
* SymbioticPossession: [[spoiler: Unlike with Leland who he controlled mercilessly, BOB seems to have this kind of relationship with the Evil Dale Cooper doppelganger he created. They both share the same goal of collecting garmonbozia and work together to avoid being sucked back into the Black Lodge. BOB!Cooper does all of the physical work while BOB remains mostly dormant but influences Doppel Coop's physical appearance and helps maintain the Doppelganger's status as TheDreaded.]]
* TomTheDarkLord: He is a demonic entity who feeds on fear and pleasure and comes from an alternate plane of reality that consists of pure evil. He goes by the name BOB.
* TheUnfettered: "You may think I've ''gone insane'', but '''I promise, I will''' '''''KILL AGAIN!'''''"
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Implied to be the case with the owls, and certainly the case with his human hosts, who can appear as themselves or as BOB depending on what he feels like doing.
* WouldHitAGirl: And he'll do it with someone else's hands too.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: With MIKE; before the events of the series the two seemed to have a VillainousFriendship.
* WildHair: Long, grey, and messy. [[spoiler: Given enough time, the hair of the Cooper doppelganger he creates becomes extremely similar.]]
* YourSoulIsMine: [[spoiler: Extracts Window Earle's soul from his body in the last episode of Season 2 after Earle breaks the rules of the Lodge. BOB also leaves Cooper and apparently Leland's souls in the Lodge to rot for all eternity.]]

* ContinuitySnarl: His origins are given in ''Part 8'' of ''The Return'' while also being included in ''The Secret of Twin Peaks.'' Both are contradictory while also being canon.

* HenpeckedHusband: Implied, given Janey's initial nonchalance to "Dougie's" odd silence when she confronts him for missing Sonny Jim's birthday. However, Dougie's sleazy, cheating behavior makes it clear that her nagging is ''completely'' justified.
* HumanoidAbomination: He's more of a sleazy, modern day businessman instead of a psychopath like Doppel Coop, but seeing as Dougie is another doppelganger he was still created out of thin air/black smoke.
* OurClonesAreIdentical: Played with. While ''extremely'' similar to Cooper, it's noted that Cooper is much thinner and barely fits into Dougie's clothes.
* PosthumousCharacter: Functions as such. Most of his life is uncovered during Cooper's impersonation.
* ReallyWasBornYesterday: He's presumably 25, but looks pretty much the same age as Coop. [[spoiler: Episode 9 implies he's even younger than that, as there was no record of him prior to 1997.]]

* CoolHouse: Lives in a {{Retraux}} Raygun Gothic mansion that looks straight out of the imagination of Georges Melies or William Wallace Denslow.

-----
* ArcWords: "The Owls are not what they seem."
* BaldOfAwesome: A bald giant.
* BigGood: Unlike the MFANP who displays AmbiguouslyEvil and ChessMaster traits when speaking to Cooper, the Giant seems to sincerely want to help Cooper with the Laura Palmer case by giving him honest and slightly less cryptic clues.
* BodySnatcher: However, it's clear he has stayed in the same body for a long, long time.
* CannotTellALie: "The things I tell you will not be wrong."
* TheChooserOfTheOne: ''The Return'' implies this is his role [[spoiler: to Laura]], assuming he's notof her "father" in some spiritual sense such as immaculate conception, using humans as a vessel, or similar.
* CoolHouse: Lives in a {{Retraux}} Raygun Gothic mansion that looks straight out of the imagination of Georges Melies or William Wallace Denslow.
* CrypticConversation: Less so than The Man From Another Place, giving one straightforward clue - "Without chemicals, [[YouKnowTheOne he]] points." Some of his dialogue indicates that he genuinely wants to make more sense, but his ability to do so is somehow limited by forces out of his control.
* GentleGiant: His speaking voice is pleasant, and he's dressed smartly. It's difficult to imagine him hurting a fly. That said, he is a creature of the Black Lodge, a world of pure evil... but is also clearly a major figure in the White Lodge whenever he appears in black and white, so his [[IncrediblyLamePun true colors]] are unknown.
* GoodCounterpart: To the Man From Another Place. He seems to be much more benevolent in his aims, and speaks normally and pleasantly in contrast to the Man's BlackSpeech. His gigantism also contrasts the Man's dwarfism.
* GreaterScopeParagon: Is apparently something like the Aslan of the Twin Peaks universe.
* TheMaker: ''The Return'' strongly implies [[spoiler:that he, or a spirit who created him in his image, had a role in the creation of the Black Lodge and its denizens, if not the entire world itself]].
* TheNameless: Officially credited as "''???????''" in ''The Return''.

->Played by: Creator/HarryDeanStanton
[[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mqdefault_9.jpg]]
A local trailer park owner living [[WhereTheHellIsSpringfield outside Twin Peaks in Deer Meadow]]. He is involved in two murders in ''Fire Walk With Me'' and ''The Return'' but only as a bystander.
-----
* BystanderSyndrome: [[spoiler: Averted when he is the only one to go and console the mother whose son got mowed down by Richard Horne.]]
* CoolOldGuy: If not originally then definitely by the time of ''The Return''. Seeing as he is played by Creator/HarryDeanStanton, this is a given. WordOfGod has it that Carl was one of the [[https://twitter.com/mfrost11/status/890292121172881408 original bookhouse boys]] back in the 1940s.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Was traumatized by an abduction involving either [[spoiler: aliens, woodsmen, or the Black Lodge]]. In any case, it wasn't pleasant, and Briggs outright speculates in ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'' that Carl Rodd may have been a traumatized victim of child molestation.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: His debut scene in ''Fire Walk With Me''. He's a GrumpyOldMan with typical Lynchian quirks, having a sign not to bother him before 9 a.m. and helping the detectives into the victim's trailer. In spite of that, he's cooperative with the FBI and brings them some coffee. The scenes serve as a good summary of Carl's character and further highlights Deer Meadows as the inverted Twin Peaks being an inhabitant of the former but behaving like the latter (cooperative with the investigation, strange but friendly, and giving good coffee).
* GrumpyOldMan: Especially in his first appearance in ''Fire Walk With Me'' where he hangs a sign on his trailer's door specifically saying not to be bothered before 9 a.m.
* HiddenDepths: Turns out that Creator/HarryDeanStanton and Carl by extension, are quite good at singing and playing the guitar.
* LazyBum: Then again, trauma and depression can have that effect.
* PsychicPowers: Implied to have some kind of connection to the Black Lodge. In ''The Return'' after [[spoiler: a coked out Richard Horne kills a little kid with his truck, Carl is able to see some sort of yellow energy float away from the boy's body only to unfortunatley become caught in electrical cables.]]
* SmokingIsCool: In ''The Return'' he happily comments on having smoked everyday for 75 years without any negative effects. Played with as he's making an observation about the fickleness of fate versus commenting on its lack of health risks.
* TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow: ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'' explains that he is a traumatized victim of [[spoiler: an "alien" abduction as a child, in addition to some of the other trailer park residents he lived with]], resulting in the Lodge creatures and Woodsmen haunting the area now and again as seen in ''Fire Walk With Me''.
* TookALevelInKindness: In ''The Return'', Carl has mellowed out considerably and is a quietly friendly old man who wants the best for those around him.
* TraumaButton: At least twice, he has been visibly haunted and shell-shocked by seeing evidence of the Black Lodge in the "normal" world. His childhood experiences with the Lodge were definitely on the traumatic side.
* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: His business, Fat Trout Trailer Park, is close enough to have numerous residents of Twin Peaks come in and out of it while far enough to be across county lines.

* WouldHurtAChild: Doesn't really try to stop or even slow down when a child is crossing the street, and when he hits and kills him his main concern is for the police attention it'll bring him.

* AxCrazy: He's violently unstable
* BerserkButton: Resents being called "kid" and generally not being taken seriously.
* BlackSheep: Seems to be hated by the rest of his family, judging by the fact that his grandmother immediately demands that he leave after he pulls into her driveway. Given his behavior ''immediately'' after that, it's more than justified.
* CountryMatters: Calls his ''grandmother'' this after breaking into her house, choking her out, and robbing her. [[HateSink Are you starting to get the idea of this guy yet?]]
* DestroyTheEvidence: Bribes [[spoiler: Chad]] to withhold the letter sent by Miriam to the Twin Peaks' Sheriff's Department telling them she witnessed his AccidentalMurder of a child. [[spoiler: Chad withholds the evidence, but doesn't destroy it, possibly so that he has blackmail material on Richard for later if Richard double crosses him]].
* DirtyCoward: Is easily intimidated by anyone who isn't a child, old woman, smaller young woman, or obviously not-dangerous.

* GenerationXerox: The Hornes are established as one of Twin Peaks' most entitled families, and he is no exception.

* HateSink: At the rate he's going he's going to have his own page soon. He's an all-around {{Jerkass}}. How else is the audience supposed to react to him during his EstablishingCharacterMoment? And THEN in his third scene he remorselessly mows down a kid while high on cocaine!

[[folder: Mr. C and his Gang (SPOILERS)]]
!! Mr. C/Cooper/The Doppelganger
->Played by: Creator/KyleMacLachlan
An evil doppelganger of Dale Cooper created when Agent Cooper entered the Black Lodge in the Season 2 finale. The Doppelganger chased after Cooper in the Lodge and returned to reality in Cooper's place while also serving as a vessel for BOB to possess. Sociopathic, perverted and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking garishly dressed]], he's an EvilCounterpart to the morally pure Cooper in just about every sense. Spends the quarter century between Season 2 and 3 spreading violence and murder wherever he goes, collecting garmonbozia for BOB and himself.
----
* AmbiguousSituation: Given the very last scene of Season 2 seemed to heavily imply that Cooper was now possessed by BOB in the same manner as Leland, many believed that the Doppelganger was BOB himself in Cooper's original body. Episode 5 of ''The Return'' features a scene with the Doppelganger [[OnceMoreWithClarity flashing back to the scenes of BOB and the Doppelganger cackling in the Black Lodge and smashing Cooper's head on the mirror]] before telling his reflection that he knows that he (BOB) is still there with him, seeming to set the record straight for the audience that BOB and the Doppelganger are two separate entities sharing the same body.
* BackFromTheDead: After his plan to eliminate his crony Ray backfires and Ray instead shoots and kills him, the [[TheLegionsOfHell Woodsmen]] appear and swarm over his body where they start rubbing Mr. C's blood on his face. Whether this was a blessing from the Woodsmen or an attempt at extracting BOB, the result was Coopelganger healing from his bullet wound and coming back to life.
* BadBadActing: In Episode 4 of ''The Return'' he and BOB put on an unsettling, UncannyValley imitation of Cooper's personality and body language during his meeting with Gordon and Albert in jail. It's enough to tip Gordon off that something is very wrong.
* BadBoss: Abusive and threatening to his cronies and won't waste a thought on killing them once they are of no further use to him. This is mostly why Darya and Ray took on the contract from Jeffries to kill Mr. C.
* BarbarianLonghair: Twenty five years after Season 2 he's shown to have grown out Cooper's hair to greatly resemble BOB's own unkempt hair.
* BigBad: For ''The Return''. Effectively serving as the new BOB in light of Frank Silva's death and now sharing the mantle with BOB for evilest villain in the series.
* BlackEyesOfEvil: Has very dark irises that give off this impression most of the time.
* CardCarryingVillain: Literally. Shortly before he murders her, Doppel Dale shows Daria a playing card he carries around with him. It's an Ace of Spades card, only in the center instead of an ace it's a bizarre, black circle with antenna like appenditures so the closest thing it resembles is a bug like a tick.
* ChickMagnet: He seems to have no problem in picking up morally questionable women before murdering them.
* CosmicDeadline: Seems to be well aware that he's due to be returned to the Black Lodge twenty five years after being released.
* CreepyMonotone: Speaks in an unnatural, almost robotic cadence, especially after his capture when he seems to lose a bit of his power.
* CurbstompBattle: Deals one to [[spoiler: Ray's buddy Renzo, crushing him in an arm wrestling contest before crushing his face with one punch]].
* DarkIsEvil: Whereas BOB wore a denim jacket, Coopelganger seems to favor a black leather jacket to highlight his evil nature.
* DarkReprise: Many of his characteristics and dialogue are sinister reimaginings of Cooper's mannerisms. He even gets a gunshot to the gut like Cooper.
-->'''Special Agent Dale Cooper:''' What I want and what I need are two different things, Audrey.
-->'''Mr. C:''' I don't need anything. I want.
* DirtyOldMan: Special Agent Dale Cooper turned down the amorous advances of Audrey Horne due to moral reservations. BOB!Cooper delights in feeling up women much younger than he is (at least physically).
* TheDreaded: Just like BOB. While most of Cooper's friends believe he just vanished, those familiar with the "new" Cooper dread his presence.
* EmotionEater: Presumably feeds off of the pain and suffering of others like BOB. [[spoiler: There was certainly a large amount of garmonbozia in his stomach.]]
* EvilCounterpart: [[CaptainObvious Helloooo-ooooo!]]
* EvilLaugh: His first action upon being created by BOB is to cackle like a psychopath alongside his creator in the Black Lodge. It's also one of the first things he does upon waking up in reality.
* EvilPlan: It's heavily implied that in an effort to escape his CosmicDeadline, the Doppelganger with the help of BOB created Dougie, another doppelganger of Cooper, to act as a decoy and throw off the trail of the Black Lodge. [[spoiler: It works.]]
* EvilSoundsDeep: His voice is noticeably deeper than that of the real Coop.
* FatalFlaw: For how easily he manages to operate on a day-to-day, he's too evil to know how to imitate [[NiceGuy Cooper]] and proves to be utterly incapable of tricking Gordon and Albert.
* FusionDance: Despite the reveal that Coopelganger and BOB are two separate individuals, episode 5 of ''The Return'' sees the Doppelganger's reflection briefly morph into BOB's face as some kind of unholy BOB!Cooper chimera. The Doppelganger's comments seem to imply that BOB resides within the Doppelganger's body but allows Mr. C to be the one behind the wheel.
* TheHeartless: How [[spoiler: Diane]] is able to him apart from the good Coop.
* HorrifyingTheHorror: His underlings include HillBillyHorrors and ProfessionalKillers who are easily cowered by him.
* HumanoidAbomination: An entity created by an EldritchAbomination like BOB in an EldritchLocation like the Black Lodge.
* LargeHam: Subverted in that when BOB first created him he was certainly this. Fast forward twenty five years and the years with Cooper's body have given the Doppelganger time to reel in his personality so that he now appears as TheStoic.
* ManipulativeBastard: His first appearances after the twenty-five year TimeSkip heavily imply that he's tricked various [[UnwittingPawn Unwitting Pawns]] and arranged numerous tragedies and frame jobs over the years without getting caught, all to continue to instill as much suffering as possible.
* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Like Frank Silva before him, Creator/KyleMacLachlan's personality is light years away from such an evil character.
* ObviouslyEvil: Dark clothing and CreepyMonotone aside, everyone who's known Cooper can't help noticing that there's something inherently [[UncannyValley wrong]] with his character that tips them off that he's not the real one.
* OneHitKill: Caves [[spoiler: Renzo's]] face in with one punch as retribution for [[BullyingADragon being punched by him earlier]].
* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: [[spoiler:He's strongly implied to have raped Diane, and as such, she finds him — who she initially mistakes for the real Cooper — to be revolting and refuses to have anything more to do with him. Of course, he ''is'' possessed by BOB, so this is a given.]]
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Whether or not the Doppelganger being separate from BOB was the plan all along, Frank Silva passing away in 1995 certainly made it impossible to show scenes of an older BOB. So far [[FanNickname Mr. C]] has certainly filled the void left by him.
* SerialKiller: Kills at least two people in the first episode of ''The Return'' and there's no telling how high he's ranked his body count over the years.
* ShoutOut: Kyle [=MachLachlan=] says his appearance is derived from that Creator/JavierBardem's portrayal of [[Literature/NoCountryForOldMen Anton Chigurh]]. He also shares a few personality traits with him.
* TheSociopath: Yessir.
* TheStoic: Twenty five years of becoming accustomed to his body have led Coopelganger to never raise his tone or let a slip of emotion show.
* SuperStrength: Completely ''destroys'' [[spoiler: Renzo, a '' very'' strong man, in an arm wrestling match before crushing his skull with a single punch to the face.]]
* TomTheDarkLord: Another similarity to BOB. When you hear the name "Cooper" you could see why it would go hand in hand with a heroic idealist like Dale Cooper but not a wanted criminal and HumanoidAbomination like Coopelganger.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Even if he isn't actually BOB himself he might as well be. As mentioned above, he emulates BOB's physical appearance and style whilst operating as the BigBad evil force of the Black Lodge. The abundance of similarities is why many fans originally believed that the Doppelganger was still BOB himself.
* SymbioticPossession: Seems to have this going on with BOB.
* UncannyValley: An InUniverse example. Everyone who's met the guy and known the real Cooper is quick to realize that there's something horribly ''off'' about him.
* VomitIndiscretionShot: In Episode 3 of ''The Return'', BOB!Cooper pulls over to the side of the road and pukes out an enormous amount of garmonbozia (cream corn) after narrowly avoiding the Black Lodge's attempt to pull him back in and replace him with Cooper.
* WalkingSpoiler: For the infamous cliffhanger of Season 2 and original series finale.
* WouldHitAGirl: He hits and [[spoiler:then kills]] Daria.
* WildHair: Grows his hair out to resemble BOB's.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Like Dougie he's only 25, but being originally created as a doppelganger to the then 30-something year old Cooper has led him to resemble a man pushing 60 twenty five years after Season 2.
!!Buella, Darya, Ray Monroe
Mr. C's associates.
---
* DarkMistress: Daria is apparently this to Mr. C, [[spoiler: not that it does her much good]].
* HillbillyHorrors: To an almost ''The Hills Have Eyes'' level. They live in a creepy cabin in ths middle of the woods with their deformed family members and are at Mr. C's beck and call.
* TheStarscream: [[spoiler: Ray and Daria try to kill Mr. C at the behest of Philip Jeffries. Both fail, though Ray would have succeeded if not for the intervention of the Woodsmen]].

[[folder: The Jones Family]]
!!Dougie Jones
->Played by: Creator/KyleMacLachlan
A sleazy insurance salesman with a strange similarity to Dale Cooper.
----
* BodyBackUpDrive: Cooper replaces him upon escaping the Black Lodge, although the process isn't perfect.
* CloningGambit: Heavily implied to have been [[spoiler: created by BOB to con the Black Lodge and avoid returning.]]
* CloudCuckooLander: Aside from his sleazy and hedonistic traits, Dougie originally seems like he's more or less a normal person. However, comments made by Dougie's wife and co-workers to EmptyShell Cooper after he takes Dougie's place seem to reveal that people aren't immediately tipped off by Cooper's bizarre behavior because Dougie had a habit of having "episodes" and spacing out.
-->'''Phil Bisby:''' Off in dreamland again, eh Dougie?
* DullSurprise: Like a true copy of Cooper, he takes his abduction into the Black Lodge, hand deflating, his body disintegrating into black smoke and transforming into a tiny golden orb remarkably well.
-->'''Dougie:''' That's... weird.
* FatBastard: Many character note that Cooper weighs ''much'' less than Dougie, a man who 1) got his family into serious debt with dangerous people, 2) frequently drinks, gambles, and cheats in his free time, and 3) is utterly incompetent at his insurance job.
* TheFool: He goes through his day like a zombie but still manages to win $452,000 at a casino, save his company and its clients as well as his own life by the power of intuition.
* HeCleansUpNicely: Seeing as Dougie is just a schlubby, less fashionable version of Cooper. When Cooper takes his place, everyone familiar with Dougie thinks he went on a diet, got a haircut and bought new clothes while remarking on how sharp he looks.
* HenpeckedHusband: Implied, given Janey's initial nonchalance to "Dougie's" odd silence when she confronts him for missing Sonny Jim's birthday. However, Dougie's sleazy, cheating behavior makes it clear that her nagging is ''completely'' justified.
* HumanoidAbomination: He's more of a sleazy, modern day businessman instead of a psychopath like Doppel Coop, but seeing as Dougie is another doppelganger he was still created out of thin air/black smoke.
* OurClonesAreIdentical: Played with. While ''extremely'' similar to Cooper, it's noted that Cooper is much thinner and barely fits into Dougie's clothes.
* PosthumousCharacter: Functions as such. Most of his life is uncovered during Cooper's impersonation.
* ReallyWasBornYesterday: He's presumably 25, but looks pretty much the same age as Coop. [[spoiler: Episode 9 implies he's even younger than that, as there was no record of him prior to 1997.]]
* VomitDiscretionShot: To contrast Doppel Coop puking up garmonbozia during the Black Lodge's attempt to pull him in. We don't see him do it but right before his abduction, Dougie pukes out ''something solid'' that looks more like he hacked up a lung instead of cream corn.
* VanityLicensePlate: DUGE LV.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Returned to the Black Lodge and turned into a gold orb minutes after his first appearance, presumably for good.
* YourCheatingHeart: Has a wife and son but his very first appearance shows Dougie having just finished shacking up with a prostitute in an empty suburban home for sale.
!!Janey-E Jones
->Played by: Creator/NaomiWatts
Dougie's wife, a surburban mom increasingly concerned about Dougie's strange behavior.
----
* AwfulWeddedLife: Her husband is a dirtbag who was apparently gone for two days ''before'' Cooper accidentally took his place, as well as landed them $50k in debt. The married life is not treating her well. Even then, she protects Dougie by going to meet two gangsters and giving them the money. [[spoiler: She also tries to choke out Ike while Cooper is holding him down.]]
* EatingTheEyeCandy: When Cooper's being examined at a doctor's office and she notices how much more well built he is than Dougie. It almost immediately reignites her sexual interest in her husband.
* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: [[spoiler: After what is implied to have been a SexlessMarriage with Dougie, her first night with Cooper is a nearly ecstatic experience for her]].
* TheImmodestOrgasm: [[spoiler: Enough to wake Sonny Jim up]].
* MundaneSolution: Her TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to the two gangsters, which consists entirely of complaining about being part of a disadvantaged middle class... and then walking away.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gets two gangster bookies her husband owes money to leave her family alone... with a political rant about economic inequality.
!!Sonny Jim Jones
-> Played by: Pierce Gagnon
The son of Dougie and Janey-E Jones.
----
* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Despite his young age, he quickly figures out that "Dougie" is struggling with day-to-day tasks and gives him some helpful demonstrations.
* ChildrenAreInnocent: Considering what his parents are like, he's amazingly well adjusted.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Assuming he's Dougie's biological son and not stepson then Sonny Jim may certainly have some of the Black Lodge in his genes.
* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: Let's hope "Sonny" is just his nickname.
** Let's hope NOT because that means his name is [[UnfortunateName Jim Jones]].

-->'''William:''' WE WERE GONNA SOAK UP THE SUUUUUUUNNNN.
* {{Blog}}: Moderates his blog ''[[http://thesearchforthezone.com/ The Search for the Zone]]'' in his spare time.
* ConspiracyTheorist: It turns out that William is an avid reader and supporter in the belief of Multiverse Theory and other dimensions, even claiming to have entered one.
* {{Expy}}: In his few scenes he's certainly given off elements as being the second coming of [[spoiler:Leland]].
* InelegantBlubbering: During most of his chat with Agent Preston.

!!Ike 'The Spike' Stadtler
->Played by: Christophe Zajac-Denek
There's a new little person in the world of Twin Peaks, only instead of being an AmbiguouslyEvil resident of the Black Lodge, Ike is an ice pick wielding hitman who receives his next targets from Duncan Todd in Las Vegas. His latest target: one Dougie Jones.
----
* TheAlcoholic: Keeps a bottle of Jack Daniels on a desk in his motel room and downs two tall glasses of whiskey [[spoiler: before he is arrested.]]
* AxCrazy: When he's on the job he's a snarling little person chasing after you with an ice pick and will gladly stab you a hundred times until he knows you're dead.
* BaldOfEvil: Possibly a skinhead, otherwise he just shaves his head. Either way he's not a nice fellow.
* TheBerserker: He's not the sort of hitman to MakeItLookLikeAnAccident. He runs full boar into an office building in broad daylight and brutally stabs everyone he sees while snarling like an animal. Presumably he gets hired whenever his employers want to send a message. [[spoiler: This comes back to bite him in the ass when he tries to kill Cooper by charging at him in broad day light with a pistol. Unfortunately for Ike, even in his EmptyShell state, [[TheAce the old Cooper resurfaces]] and effortlessly thwarts the assassination attempt, disarms Ike and karate chops the little creep until he runs off.]]
* BlackComedy: His second scene features him viciously stabbing a woman he had been hired to kill and her co-workers to death. After finishing off his most recent kill he looks down to see that in the process of stabbing a woman's rib cage, he had bent the blade of his ice pick. His response is to squeak out a cute little "Oh no!"
* BritishTeeth: As he snarls and stabs Lorraine to death he reveals that he has a pair of brown, distorted looking teeth.
* DepravedDwarf: A little person who is also a contract killer that prefers killing his targets with an ice pick.
* InformedAbility: He is hyped up as a skilled and efficient assassin who the police can't pin for any of the killings he's committed. However, the only hits we see him commit are ''far'' from inconspicuous (his modus operandi appears to consist solely of running up to people and screaming while trying to stab/shoot them), [[spoiler: and when he tries to kill Cooper by charging at him with a pistol drawn ''in broad daylight'', he's dispatched almost immediately and arrested soon afterwards.]]
* LittlePeopleAreSurreal: Even though his scenes take place in reality they're still bizarre and even dream like. This being a series by Creator/DavidLynch a.k.a. one of the few people who can pull this trope off without looking hacky, its not surprising that this trope came into play again.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: The weird smell a witness to his assassination attempt on Cooper describes him as having. Is it the gasoline-style odour associated with [=BOB=] and the Black Lodge, or just bad personal hygiene?
* PottyFailure: Shits himself [[spoiler:when he's arrested.]]
* SeriousBusiness: Visibly upset to learn that he bent the blade of his beloved ice pick after stabbing two women to death.
* SpySpeak: In episode 9, he leaves a cryptic message on his employer's answering machine about his failed assassination on Dougie and his immanent exit:
-->"No cigar. Taking medical leave."
* WeaponOfChoice: Again the ice pick.
* WouldHitAGirl: More like stab, stab, stab and stab a girl.
!!The Mitchum Brothers (Rodney and Bradley)
->Played by: Robert Knepper and Jim Belushi

----
* AffablyEvil: They are mobsters introduced by beating up the manager of the casino for [[spoiler: letting Cooper win 30 million dollars]]. However, they clearly love each other and are not merciless psychopaths as seen when Rodney consoles Candie when she unintentionally hits him while trying to swat a fly. [[spoiler: They also treat Cooper to a nice meal when he gets them 30 million dollars.]]
* JerkassHasAPoint: While beating the Pit Boss of their casino and forcing him out of town might seem like a KickTheDog moment, the fact the Pit Boss didn't intervene when [[spoiler: Cooper]] won jackpot after jackpot despite the astronomical odds means he really was woefully incompetent. At the very least, the Pit Boss could have shown [[spoiler: Cooper]] the door after the first couple of jackpots. That's entirely legal for the casino to do, too.
* LaughablyEvil: While not completely harmless, they are portrayed for laughs.
* PetTheDog: [[spoiler: They let Cooper go after he gives them their 30 million dollars and even treat him to a nice dinner which seems to help him come out of his EmptyShell state a bit.]]
** WordOfGod says Candy and the other pink-dressed girls are former sex trafficking victims the brothers took under their protection rather than women they own.
* PragmaticVillainy: Once the financial situation is resolved between them and [[spoiler: Cooper]], they have no further reason to bother him and consider the matter settled.

* EldritchAbomination: Even moreso than the other spiritual beings in the series. It looks ''nothing'' like a human being, violently kills the only people unfortunate enough to meet it, and is heavily implied to be [[spoiler: the creator of BOB]].
* EyelessFace: Doesn't appear to have any eyes.
* TheGreys: It somewhat resembles this kind of alien.
* HornedHumanoid: Has two small horns on top of its head. [[spoiler: They make it resemble the symbol on the card Mr. C carries around]].

Episode 5 of ''The Return'' features a scene with the Doppelganger [[OnceMoreWithClarity flashing back to the scenes of BOB and the Doppelganger cackling in the Black Lodge and smashing Cooper's head on the mirror]] before telling his reflection that he knows that he (BOB) is still there with him, seeming to set the record straight for the audience that BOB and the Doppelganger are two separate entities sharing the same body.
* BackFromTheDead: After his plan to eliminate his crony Ray backfires and Ray instead shoots and kills him, the [[TheLegionsOfHell Woodsmen]] appear and swarm over his body where they start rubbing Mr. C's blood on his face. Whether this was a blessing from the Woodsmen or an attempt at extracting BOB, the result was Coopelganger healing from his bullet wound and coming back to life.
* BadBadActing: In Episode 4 of ''The Return'' he and BOB put on an unsettling, UncannyValley imitation of Cooper's personality and body language during his meeting with Gordon and Albert in jail. It's enough to tip Gordon off that something is very wrong.
* BadBoss: Abusive and threatening to his cronies and won't waste a thought on killing them once they are of no further use to him. This is mostly why Darya and Ray took on the contract from Jeffries to kill Mr. C.
* BarbarianLonghair: Twenty five years after Season 2 he's shown to have grown out Cooper's hair to greatly resemble BOB's own unkempt hair.
* BigBad: For ''The Return''. Effectively serving as the new BOB in light of Frank Silva's death and now sharing the mantle with BOB for evilest villain in the series.
* BlackEyesOfEvil: Has very dark irises that give off this impression most of the time.
* CardCarryingVillain: Literally. Shortly before he murders her, Doppel Dale shows Daria a playing card he carries around with him. It's an Ace of Spades card, only in the center instead of an ace it's a bizarre, black circle with antenna like appenditures so the closest thing it resembles is a bug like a tick.
* ChickMagnet: He seems to have no problem in picking up morally questionable women before murdering them.
* CosmicDeadline: Seems to be well aware that he's due to be returned to the Black Lodge twenty five years after being released.
* CreepyMonotone: Speaks in an unnatural, almost robotic cadence, especially after his capture when he seems to lose a bit of his power.
* CurbstompBattle: Deals one to [[spoiler: Ray's buddy Renzo, crushing him in an arm wrestling contest before crushing his face with one punch]].
* DarkIsEvil: Whereas BOB wore a denim jacket, Coopelganger seems to favor a black leather jacket to highlight his evil nature.
* DarkReprise: Many of his characteristics and dialogue are sinister reimaginings of Cooper's mannerisms. He even gets a gunshot to the gut like Cooper.
-->'''Special Agent Dale Cooper:''' What I want and what I need are two different things, Audrey.
-->'''Mr. C:''' I don't need anything. I want.
* DirtyOldMan: Special Agent Dale Cooper turned down the amorous advances of Audrey Horne due to moral reservations. BOB!Cooper delights in feeling up women much younger than he is (at least physically).
* TheDreaded: Just like BOB. While most of Cooper's friends believe he just vanished, those familiar with the "new" Cooper dread his presence.
* EmotionEater: Presumably feeds off of the pain and suffering of others like BOB. [[spoiler: There was certainly a large amount of garmonbozia in his stomach.]]
* EvilCounterpart: [[CaptainObvious Helloooo-ooooo!]]
* EvilLaugh: His first action upon being created by BOB is to cackle like a psychopath alongside his creator in the Black Lodge. It's also one of the first things he does upon waking up in reality.
* EvilPlan: It's heavily implied that in an effort to escape his CosmicDeadline, the Doppelganger with the help of BOB created Dougie, another doppelganger of Cooper, to act as a decoy and throw off the trail of the Black Lodge. [[spoiler: It works.]]
* EvilSoundsDeep: His voice is noticeably deeper than that of the real Coop.
* FatalFlaw: For how easily he manages to operate on a day-to-day, he's too evil to know how to imitate [[NiceGuy Cooper]] and proves to be utterly incapable of tricking Gordon and Albert.
* FusionDance: Despite the reveal that Coopelganger and BOB are two separate individuals, episode 5 of ''The Return'' sees the Doppelganger's reflection briefly morph into BOB's face as some kind of unholy BOB!Cooper chimera. The Doppelganger's comments seem to imply that BOB resides within the Doppelganger's body but allows Mr. C to be the one behind the wheel.
* TheHeartless: How [[spoiler: Diane]] is able to him apart from the good Coop.
* HorrifyingTheHorror: His underlings include HillBillyHorrors and ProfessionalKillers who are easily cowered by him.
* HumanoidAbomination: An entity created by an EldritchAbomination like BOB in an EldritchLocation like the Black Lodge.
* LargeHam: Subverted in that when BOB first created him he was certainly this. Fast forward twenty five years and the years with Cooper's body have given the Doppelganger time to reel in his personality so that he now appears as TheStoic.
* ManipulativeBastard: His first appearances after the twenty-five year TimeSkip heavily imply that he's tricked various [[UnwittingPawn Unwitting Pawns]] and arranged numerous tragedies and frame jobs over the years without getting caught, all to continue to instill as much suffering as possible.
* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Like Frank Silva before him, Creator/KyleMacLachlan's personality is light years away from such an evil character.
* ObviouslyEvil: Dark clothing and CreepyMonotone aside, everyone who's known Cooper can't help noticing that there's something inherently [[UncannyValley wrong]] with his character that tips them off that he's not the real one.
* OneHitKill: Caves [[spoiler: Renzo's]] face in with one punch as retribution for [[BullyingADragon being punched by him earlier]].
* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: [[spoiler:He's strongly implied to have raped Diane, and as such, she finds him — who she initially mistakes for the real Cooper — to be revolting and refuses to have anything more to do with him. Of course, he ''is'' possessed by BOB, so this is a given.]]
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Whether or not the Doppelganger being separate from BOB was the plan all along, Frank Silva passing away in 1995 certainly made it impossible to show scenes of an older BOB. So far [[FanNickname Mr. C]] has certainly filled the void left by him.
* SerialKiller: Kills at least two people in the first episode of ''The Return'' and there's no telling how high he's ranked his body count over the years.
* ShoutOut: Kyle [=MachLachlan=] says his appearance is derived from that Creator/JavierBardem's portrayal of [[Literature/NoCountryForOldMen Anton Chigurh]]. He also shares a few personality traits with him.
* TheSociopath: Yessir.
* TheStoic: Twenty five years of becoming accustomed to his body have led Coopelganger to never raise his tone or let a slip of emotion show.
* SuperStrength: Completely ''destroys'' [[spoiler: Renzo, a '' very'' strong man, in an arm wrestling match before crushing his skull with a single punch to the face.]]
* TomTheDarkLord: Another similarity to BOB. When you hear the name "Cooper" you could see why it would go hand in hand with a heroic idealist like Dale Cooper but not a wanted criminal and HumanoidAbomination like Coopelganger.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Even if he isn't actually BOB himself he might as well be. As mentioned above, he emulates BOB's physical appearance and style whilst operating as the BigBad evil force of the Black Lodge. The abundance of similarities is why many fans originally believed that the Doppelganger was still BOB himself.
* SymbioticPossession: Seems to have this going on with BOB.
* UncannyValley: An InUniverse example. Everyone who's met the guy and known the real Cooper is quick to realize that there's something horribly ''off'' about him.
* VomitIndiscretionShot: In Episode 3 of ''The Return'', BOB!Cooper pulls over to the side of the road and pukes out an enormous amount of garmonbozia (cream corn) after narrowly avoiding the Black Lodge's attempt to pull him back in and replace him with Cooper.
* WalkingSpoiler: For the infamous cliffhanger of Season 2 and original series finale.
* WouldHitAGirl: He hits and [[spoiler:then kills]] Daria.
* WildHair: Grows his hair out to resemble BOB's.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Like Dougie he's only 25, but being originally created as a doppelganger to the then 30-something year old Cooper has led him to resemble a man pushing 60 twenty five years after Season 2.
!!Buella, Darya, Ray Monroe
Mr. C's associates.
---
* DarkMistress: Daria is apparently this to Mr. C, [[spoiler: not that it does her much good]].
* HillbillyHorrors: To an almost ''The Hills Have Eyes'' level. They live in a creepy cabin in ths middle of the woods with their deformed family members and are at Mr. C's beck and call.
* TheStarscream: [[spoiler: Ray and Daria try to kill Mr. C at the behest of Philip Jeffries. Both fail, though Ray would have succeeded if not for the intervention of the Woodsmen]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder: The Jones Family]]
!!Dougie Jones
->Played by: Creator/KyleMacLachlan
A sleazy insurance salesman with a strange similarity to Dale Cooper.
----
* BodyBackUpDrive: Cooper replaces him upon escaping the Black Lodge, although the process isn't perfect.
* CloningGambit: Heavily implied to have been [[spoiler: created by BOB to con the Black Lodge and avoid returning.]]
* CloudCuckooLander: Aside from his sleazy and hedonistic traits, Dougie originally seems like he's more or less a normal person. However, comments made by Dougie's wife and co-workers to EmptyShell Cooper after he takes Dougie's place seem to reveal that people aren't immediately tipped off by Cooper's bizarre behavior because Dougie had a habit of having "episodes" and spacing out.
-->'''Phil Bisby:''' Off in dreamland again, eh Dougie?
* DullSurprise: Like a true copy of Cooper, he takes his abduction into the Black Lodge, hand deflating, his body disintegrating into black smoke and transforming into a tiny golden orb remarkably well.
-->'''Dougie:''' That's... weird.
* FatBastard: Many character note that Cooper weighs ''much'' less than Dougie, a man who 1) got his family into serious debt with dangerous people, 2) frequently drinks, gambles, and cheats in his free time, and 3) is utterly incompetent at his insurance job.
* TheFool: He goes through his day like a zombie but still manages to win $452,000 at a casino, save his company and its clients as well as his own life by the power of intuition.
* HeCleansUpNicely: Seeing as Dougie is just a schlubby, less fashionable version of Cooper. When Cooper takes his place, everyone familiar with Dougie thinks he went on a diet, got a haircut and bought new clothes while remarking on how sharp he looks.
* HenpeckedHusband: Implied, given Janey's initial nonchalance to "Dougie's" odd silence when she confronts him for missing Sonny Jim's birthday. However, Dougie's sleazy, cheating behavior makes it clear that her nagging is ''completely'' justified.
* HumanoidAbomination: He's more of a sleazy, modern day businessman instead of a psychopath like Doppel Coop, but seeing as Dougie is another doppelganger he was still created out of thin air/black smoke.
* OurClonesAreIdentical: Played with. While ''extremely'' similar to Cooper, it's noted that Cooper is much thinner and barely fits into Dougie's clothes.
* PosthumousCharacter: Functions as such. Most of his life is uncovered during Cooper's impersonation.
* ReallyWasBornYesterday: He's presumably 25, but looks pretty much the same age as Coop. [[spoiler: Episode 9 implies he's even younger than that, as there was no record of him prior to 1997.]]
* VomitDiscretionShot: To contrast Doppel Coop puking up garmonbozia during the Black Lodge's attempt to pull him in. We don't see him do it but right before his abduction, Dougie pukes out ''something solid'' that looks more like he hacked up a lung instead of cream corn.
* VanityLicensePlate: DUGE LV.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Returned to the Black Lodge and turned into a gold orb minutes after his first appearance, presumably for good.
* YourCheatingHeart: Has a wife and son but his very first appearance shows Dougie having just finished shacking up with a prostitute in an empty suburban home for sale.
!!Janey-E Jones
->Played by: Creator/NaomiWatts
Dougie's wife, a surburban mom increasingly concerned about Dougie's strange behavior.
----
* AwfulWeddedLife: Her husband is a dirtbag who was apparently gone for two days ''before'' Cooper accidentally took his place, as well as landed them $50k in debt. The married life is not treating her well. Even then, she protects Dougie by going to meet two gangsters and giving them the money. [[spoiler: She also tries to choke out Ike while Cooper is holding him down.]]
* EatingTheEyeCandy: When Cooper's being examined at a doctor's office and she notices how much more well built he is than Dougie. It almost immediately reignites her sexual interest in her husband.
* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: [[spoiler: After what is implied to have been a SexlessMarriage with Dougie, her first night with Cooper is a nearly ecstatic experience for her]].
* TheImmodestOrgasm: [[spoiler: Enough to wake Sonny Jim up]].
* MundaneSolution: Her TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to the two gangsters, which consists entirely of complaining about being part of a disadvantaged middle class... and then walking away.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gets two gangster bookies her husband owes money to leave her family alone... with a political rant about economic inequality.
!!Sonny Jim Jones
-> Played by: Pierce Gagnon
The son of Dougie and Janey-E Jones.
----
* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Despite his young age, he quickly figures out that "Dougie" is struggling with day-to-day tasks and gives him some helpful demonstrations.
* ChildrenAreInnocent: Considering what his parents are like, he's amazingly well adjusted.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Assuming he's Dougie's biological son and not stepson then Sonny Jim may certainly have some of the Black Lodge in his genes.
* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: Let's hope "Sonny" is just his nickname.
** Let's hope NOT because that means his name is [[UnfortunateName Jim Jones]].

->Played by: Creator/ErnieHudson
An Air Force Colonel at ThePentagon, tasked with covering up the whereabouts of Major Briggs, who seems to be found... well, ''everywhere''.... after his death
-----
* TheConspiracy: When and where Briggs' corpse reappears (it's happened ''several'' times in-universe), it's Davis' job to cover it up.
* IWasNeverHere: Briggs' mysterious resurgence in quite a few places is some super secret stuff, as Colonel Davis attests to in giving orders to his subordinate.
* RetGone: In universe, his job is to make sure Briggs is recorded as having had one and only one death.
!! Lieutenant Knox
->Played by: Adele René
An underling of Colonel Davis, also tasked with keeping [[spoiler: Briggs' many deaths]] a secret.
-----

!!Tracey Barberato
->Played by: MadelineZima

!!William Hastings
->Played by: Creator/MatthewLillard
A high school principal in Buckhorn, South Dakota who was recently arrested on suspicion of murder and runs quite the interesting blog...
----
* BlackComedy: His breakdown to Agent Preston in Episode 9 starts off sympathetic but then takes a turn for the hilarious when he goes on to moan about how he wont be going scuba diving with his mistress.
-->'''William:''' WE WERE GONNA SOAK UP THE SUUUUUUUNNNN.
* {{Blog}}: Moderates his blog ''[[http://thesearchforthezone.com/ The Search for the Zone]]'' in his spare time.
* ConspiracyTheorist: It turns out that William is an avid reader and supporter in the belief of Multiverse Theory and other dimensions, even claiming to have entered one.
* {{Expy}}: In his few scenes he's certainly given off elements as being the second coming of [[spoiler:Leland]].
* InelegantBlubbering: During most of his chat with Agent Preston.
* LargeHam: Played by Matthew Lillard. 'Nuff said.
* WhatDidIDoLastNight: Arrested because his fingerprints were found at the crime scene of the murdered Ruth Davenport. William claims to his wife that he didn't kill Ruth or go to her the night before but he had dreams of being there.
* YouHaveToBelieveMe: Says this word for word to Agent Preston when he tells her about his experience in the Black Lodge, meeting 'The Major' and not murdering Ruth Davenport.
* YourCheatingHeart: Cheating on his wife Phyllis with his school's librarian Ruth.
* YourHeadAsplode: [[spoiler:A Woodsman creeps into the back of the police car and somehow makes this happen.]]

[[folder: Las Vegas]]
!!Ike 'The Spike' Stadtler
->Played by: Christophe Zajac-Denek
There's a new little person in the world of Twin Peaks, only instead of being an AmbiguouslyEvil resident of the Black Lodge, Ike is an ice pick wielding hitman who receives his next targets from Duncan Todd in Las Vegas. His latest target: one Dougie Jones.
----
* TheAlcoholic: Keeps a bottle of Jack Daniels on a desk in his motel room and downs two tall glasses of whiskey [[spoiler: before he is arrested.]]
* AxCrazy: When he's on the job he's a snarling little person chasing after you with an ice pick and will gladly stab you a hundred times until he knows you're dead.
* BaldOfEvil: Possibly a skinhead, otherwise he just shaves his head. Either way he's not a nice fellow.
* TheBerserker: He's not the sort of hitman to MakeItLookLikeAnAccident. He runs full boar into an office building in broad daylight and brutally stabs everyone he sees while snarling like an animal. Presumably he gets hired whenever his employers want to send a message. [[spoiler: This comes back to bite him in the ass when he tries to kill Cooper by charging at him in broad day light with a pistol. Unfortunately for Ike, even in his EmptyShell state, [[TheAce the old Cooper resurfaces]] and effortlessly thwarts the assassination attempt, disarms Ike and karate chops the little creep until he runs off.]]
* BlackComedy: His second scene features him viciously stabbing a woman he had been hired to kill and her co-workers to death. After finishing off his most recent kill he looks down to see that in the process of stabbing a woman's rib cage, he had bent the blade of his ice pick. His response is to squeak out a cute little "Oh no!"
* BritishTeeth: As he snarls and stabs Lorraine to death he reveals that he has a pair of brown, distorted looking teeth.
* DepravedDwarf: A little person who is also a contract killer that prefers killing his targets with an ice pick.
* InformedAbility: He is hyped up as a skilled and efficient assassin who the police can't pin for any of the killings he's committed. However, the only hits we see him commit are ''far'' from inconspicuous (his modus operandi appears to consist solely of running up to people and screaming while trying to stab/shoot them), [[spoiler: and when he tries to kill Cooper by charging at him with a pistol drawn ''in broad daylight'', he's dispatched almost immediately and arrested soon afterwards.]]
* LittlePeopleAreSurreal: Even though his scenes take place in reality they're still bizarre and even dream like. This being a series by Creator/DavidLynch a.k.a. one of the few people who can pull this trope off without looking hacky, its not surprising that this trope came into play again.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: The weird smell a witness to his assassination attempt on Cooper describes him as having. Is it the gasoline-style odour associated with [=BOB=] and the Black Lodge, or just bad personal hygiene?
* PottyFailure: Shits himself [[spoiler:when he's arrested.]]
* SeriousBusiness: Visibly upset to learn that he bent the blade of his beloved ice pick after stabbing two women to death.
* SpySpeak: In episode 9, he leaves a cryptic message on his employer's answering machine about his failed assassination on Dougie and his immanent exit:
-->"No cigar. Taking medical leave."
* WeaponOfChoice: Again the ice pick.
* WouldHitAGirl: More like stab, stab, stab and stab a girl.
!!The Mitchum Brothers (Rodney and Bradley)
->Played by: Robert Knepper and Jim Belushi
A pair of mobsters who own the casino in which [[spoiler: Cooper manages to win 30 million dollars.]]
----
* AffablyEvil: They are mobsters introduced by beating up the manager of the casino for [[spoiler: letting Cooper win 30 million dollars]]. However, they clearly love each other and are not merciless psychopaths as seen when Rodney consoles Candie when she unintentionally hits him while trying to swat a fly. [[spoiler: They also treat Cooper to a nice meal when he gets them 30 million dollars.]]
* JerkassHasAPoint: While beating the Pit Boss of their casino and forcing him out of town might seem like a KickTheDog moment, the fact the Pit Boss didn't intervene when [[spoiler: Cooper]] won jackpot after jackpot despite the astronomical odds means he really was woefully incompetent. At the very least, the Pit Boss could have shown [[spoiler: Cooper]] the door after the first couple of jackpots. That's entirely legal for the casino to do, too.
* LaughablyEvil: While not completely harmless, they are portrayed for laughs.
* PetTheDog: [[spoiler: They let Cooper go after he gives them their 30 million dollars and even treat him to a nice dinner which seems to help him come out of his EmptyShell state a bit.]]
** WordOfGod says Candy and the other pink-dressed girls are former sex trafficking victims the brothers took under their protection rather than women they own.
* PragmaticVillainy: Once the financial situation is resolved between them and [[spoiler: Cooper]], they have no further reason to bother him and consider the matter settled.

!!Experiment
->Played by: Erica Eynon
The... [[HumanoidAbomination thing]] that appeared inside the glass box and killed Sam and Tracy.
----
* DeathBySex: It killed Sam Colby and Tracey Barberato when they were hooking up.
* EldritchAbomination: Even moreso than the other spiritual beings in the series. It looks ''nothing'' like a human being, violently kills the only people unfortunate enough to meet it, and is heavily implied to be [[spoiler: the creator of BOB]].
* EyelessFace: Doesn't appear to have any eyes.
* TheGreys: It somewhat resembles this kind of alien.
* HornedHumanoid: Has two small horns on top of its head. [[spoiler: They make it resemble the symbol on the card Mr. C carries around]].
* HumanoidAbomination: It looks humanoid, but we can safely assume that it's anything but human.
!!Señorita Dido
->Played by: Joy Nash
A close compatriot of ???????, exact relation unknown although she appears to be family either by marriage or blood. So far, she has appeared to express shock and terror at the fate of a New Mexico town at the hands of an atomic bomb, and eventually The Woodsmen.

Cooper is an FBI agent who arrives in Twin Peaks to help the local sheriff's department investigate the murder of Laura Palmer, as some details of the killing implies the work of a serial killer. A somewhat eccentric and quirky person, Cooper has a distinctive sense of humor, likes sprouting sage-like sayings, and believes that interpreting his dreams and investigating the subconscious of himself and others can give him a edge in finding the killer. He also appreciates a good cherry pie and a "damn fine cup of coffee" (which he takes black). During his time in Twin Peaks, he falls in love with the town and gains a great deal of acceptance within the tightly knit community.

The upstanding Sheriff of Twin Peaks
Changed line(s) 17,88 (click to see context) from:
* HundredPercentAdorationRating: Mostly true, Cooper's chipper personality and competency usually warms everyone up to him. If someone doesn't like Cooper then they're almost certain to be involved in something illegal or shady.
* TheAce: Agent Cooper is the best anyone will ever be at anything he ever does. He [[ProfessionalGambler always takes home a ten to fifteen percent return when gambling with bureau funds.]] When at the firing range, [[ImprobableAimingSkills he puts four rounds through the eyes and two through the nostrils.]] He can [[TheProfiler identify people's relationships at a glance.]] He's wary of being present for a witness's sketch artist session because he's [[PsychicPowers "a strong sender" and might influence the results]], [[HypocriticalHumor and then corrects the sketch anyways.]] And to top it all off, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking he whittles up a flute from scratch in just a few hours.]]
* AgentCooper: Co-TropeNamer
* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler: As of 2016, Cooper is still trapped in the Black Lodge. While appearing stoic like he usually does when in the Lodge, the time spent in the hellish dimension seems to be turning him into an EmptyShell. News from TMFANP that his doppelganger is using his body for evil only makes Cooper feel all the more trapped and powerless.]]
* BadassBookworm: Cooper is a man who will do his research - even if it's through unorthodox methods - before ever needing to do anything badass.
* BadassLongCoat: Rocks his signature trench coat when he's doing field work for a case. Cooper could give the [[Series/DoctorWho Tenth Doctor]] and [[Comicbook/JohnConstantine John Constantine]] a run for their money in how to make trench coats look good.
* BadassInANiceSuit: ...and he'll wear it over a reasonably stylish, reasonably priced suit. [[spoiler: Subverted in ''The Return'' as Cooper is still wearing his impeccable suit when he returns to reality only to be later dressed up in Dougie's oversized, clownish, lime green sports coat while in his EmptyShell state.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: A few times, like when he, Truman, and Hawk infiltrate One Eyed Jack's to [[spoiler: rescue Audrey]].
* BigEater: Sheriff Truman remarks that he must have the metabolism of a bumblebee.
* BigGood: He was always this to some degree. [[spoiler: In ''The Return'' Cooper seems to slooooowly be shaping up to be the BigGood to counter out his EvilCounterpart's BigBad.]]
* BornLucky: While he isn't immune to suffering, things tend to naturally go right for the man. As mentioned above, he tends to take home ten to fifteen percent returns when he gambles with bureau funds. [[spoiler: In a casino, he manages to win every slot machines he uses. He even points to machines (or at least a machine with an image of the Red Room above it) that lets an old lady win as well.]]
* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler: After 25 years trapped in the Black Lodge he is barely able to function as a human being after being released, only capable of imitating the actions and statements of others.]]
* BulletproofFashionPlate: He may have aged 25 years in the Lodge, but his suit is immaculate. (Give or take a hole in his sock.)
* BunnyEarsLawyer: While he may be on the eccentric side, he really is a good detective.
* ByTheBookCop: Somewhat. He generally follows police protocol unless lives are on the line, like when he goes out of his jurisdiction to investigate One Eyed Jack's.
* CaptainsLog: His tape recordings to Diane.
* CassetteCraze: Carries around a tape recorder, into which he dictates memos and daily commentary addressing an unseen Diane.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: To the point where, in the first scene of the regular episode of the series, he records his report ''[[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext hanging upside down from a coat rack]]''.
* ConspiracyTheorist: Given that this is the ''Twin Peaks'' universe, though, the conspiracies he believes in may very well be real, at least in-universe.
* TheChosenOne: [[spoiler: After over two decades in the Black Lodge, it seems as if the spirits of the Lodge have designated Cooper as the envoy to fill out their mysterious plans. First they release him back into reality (albeit as an EmptyShell) then they display avatars of the Black Lodge above jackpot winning slot machines to ensure that he wins an absurd amount of money and attracts attention to himself. They also seem to be rebuilding Cooper's HyperAwareness as seen when they help braindead Cooper instantly identify a liar. Why the Lodge is suddenly assisting Cooper and whatever they have planned for Cooper is still very much a mystery...]]
* CulturedBadass: Knows a few things about a few things, hand in hand with his TheAce status.
* DisabilitySuperpower: [[spoiler: Despite being nearly braindead when he returns to the mortal realm, he can somehow sense which slot machines at a casino are going to be jackpots, as well as intuitively knowing to hide from a sniper he couldn't possibly know was there. It may be the beings in the Black Lodge sending him signs so he can fulfill their plans for him]].
* DreamingTheTruth: A trait he has possessed since childhood and inherited from his late mother (similar to Sarah and Laura), according to ''The Autobiography of F.B.I. Special Agent Dale Cooper''.
* EmptyShell: [[spoiler: Two decades in the Black Lodge have made him apathetic and powerless. When he finally escapes into the normal world, he can barely remember basic functions like walking and talking, to the point where other people think he's had a stroke]].
* EvilLaugh: [[spoiler:Post-BOB-possession.]]
* {{Expy}}: Partly a more morally upright version of Kyle [=MacLachlan=]'s role as Jeffrey Beaumont in ''Film/BlueVelvet''.
** Also comes across as an exaggerated Literature/SherlockHolmes, with his bordering-on-the-absurd eccentricities and powers of deduction.
* FairCop: Probably the handsomest man in the FBI. [[spoiler: Even with twenty five years in the Black Lodge under his belt, he's still shown to have aged fairly well.]]
* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: As of the revival, there is no denying that the 25 years spent in the hellish Black Lodge have messed up Cooper well past any foreseeable recovery (at the moment)]]
* GoodFeelsGood: [[spoiler: Upon Cooper's return to reality, it seems that aside from coffee, the moments when Cooper, in his addled Dougie-state, starts to seem most like his old self and act independently are when he's able to help other people or make some kind of empathetic connection with them, like guiding the old woman in the casino to a winning slot machine, offering Sonny-Jim a potato chip, or protecting Janey-E from Ike.]]
* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: [[spoiler: Well if there's any consolation to make up for the twenty five years stolen from him at least Cooper got to have a roll in the hay with Janey-E that was clearly enjoyable for both parties.]]
* GrandTheftMe: [[spoiler: Was strongly implied to have happened to him at the end of Season 2. And BOB was apparently in control of his body for ''twenty-five years''.]]
* TheHero: Clean-cut, capable, highly ethical, and dedicated to unraveling the secrets of Twin Peaks.
* HesBack: [[spoiler: Subverted. After two and a half decades in the Black Lodge, Cooper is finally returned to reality. However his time in a dimension with no sense of space and time has left his mind fried so that he can only mimic and parrot what other people do. His first independent action was in response to seeing a cup of coffee, picking it up and, after scalding his tongue, loudly saying 'hi!' to the person scolding him.]]
* HyperAwareness: Very little escapes Cooper's attention. Sometimes his eccentricity can overshadow the fact that he ''is'' a remarkably good detective. [[spoiler: In ''The Return'' even in his brain dead state (and with a little help from the Black Lodge) Cooper is instantly able to point out that Dougie's co-worker is lying.]]
* IconicItem: His tape recorder and trench coat.
* IdealHero: Cooper is unfailingly moral, extremely good at his job, and liked by just about everyone.
* IdiotBall: Holds onto it pretty tightly during the last three or four episodes. May be a case of LoveMakesYouStupid, as most of his sudden incompetence is centered around Annie.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Arguably, given how Season 2 ends. But who can forget his response to Audrey Horne's question "Don't you have any secrets?"
-->'''Agent Cooper''': No.
* LivingLieDetector: His finely honed intuition returns [[spoiler: as Dougie]] during the most inappropriate moment possible, as he calls a senior co-worker on bluffing, potentially fraudulent behavior. It doesn't go over too well in context.
* MadnessMantra: [[spoiler:"How's Annie? HOW'S ANNIE???"]]
* MeaningfulName: Also a PunnyName. Coop's first and middle initials shorten to D.B., shared with [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D._B._Cooper D.B. Cooper]], the epithet of the culprit behind the only unsolved instance of air piracy in aviation history. Said instance took place in the Northwest (on a flight between Portland and Seattle), further tying the name to the region.
* MundaneObjectAmazement: Especially in the beginning, is completely amazed and enthralled by the country, bursting into spouts of excited admiration for trees and rabbits and other wilderness-y things.
* MustHaveCaffeine: Though he doesn't seem to be addicted to it, rather he ''really'' loves coffee.[[spoiler: A piping hot cup of black coffee is one of the few things that noticeably cracks Cooper's EmptyShell state in ''The Return'']]
--> [[CatchPhrase "Damn good coffee!"]]
* MyGreatestFailure: Long before he came to Twin Peaks, there was a mission where he was unable to prevent a woman that he was supposed to protect from getting killed because they fell in love with each other, and because of these feelings, he was unprepared for said attack. This also drove his former partner Windom Earle insane, [[spoiler:although we later found out that he's the one that did it.]] Because of this incident, Agent Cooper is hesitant to get romantically involved with anyone else to avoid the risk of putting them in danger.
* NiceGuy: The guy is incredibly friendly and polite, [[spoiler:which makes [[GrandTheftMe BOB's possession of him]] at the end of the show all the more tragic]].
* NotSoAboveItAll: Gordon Cole and Agent Cooper take way too much enjoyment in making a very hung over Harry Truman throw up by mentioning varieties of rich or spicy food.
* OccultDetective: Comes as close to this trope as an active FBI agent could. His methods are a little odd, but they work more often than they should.
* OhCrap: In ''Fire Walk With Me'' after telling Cole that he had a troubling dream, Cooper certainly has this reaction when he see's long-lost FBI Agent Phillip Jeffries stroll into FBI headquarters on security footage and realizes the events of his dream are replaying in reality.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: He gets visibly angry for the first time in the show while hearing a description of [[spoiler:the last night of Laura Palmer's life]], and you just ''know'' things aren't going to end well for the guy provoking him.
* ScarilyCompetentTracker: Agent Cooper is probably the second best in the series after Hawk. He's incredibly good at finding where people are, no matter how hard they try to hide from him. {{Justified}} as this is his job as an FBI agent. It's also less "woods" and finding out where criminals are hiding out.
* SeenItAll: [[spoiler: ''The Return'' shows that his lengthy stay in the Black Lodge has made him indifferent to all the surreal horror that surrounds him going hand in hand with the EmptyShell state he's turned into. Eyeless ladies, talking trees, floating heads? Just another day in the Lodge for Ol' Coop.]]
* SenseFreak: Particularly, taste.
* SharpDressedMan: Aside from the impeccable suit, his hair is so perfectly oiled in place that it defies the laws of physics - gravity seems to have no effect on it when Coop is hanging upside down in his hotel room.
* SherlockScan: Can deduce people's relationships--and honesty level--within the spans of a few minutes. At most.
* SignatureMove: A thumbs up. Even bleeding on the floor from a gunshot wound and on the verge of death, Cooper manages to flash the kooky Waiter a thumbs up instead of calling for help. [[spoiler: After all his time in the lodge, Cooper's able to return one to Sonny Jim. Whereas when the Doppleganger tries it, it just comes off as creepy and forced.]]
* PsychicDreamsForEveryone: Though oddly not DreamingOfThingsToCome.
* ToHellAndBack: [[spoiler: Finally escapes the Black Lodge after twenty-five years, but with a [[EmptyShell massive toll]] on his psyche.]]
* ThousandYardStare: Keeps a rather chilling one [[spoiler: while stuck in the Black Lodge and finally breaking out after 25 years.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Black coffee, cherry pie, donuts....it's a miracle his heart never exploded.
* TrappedInAnotherWorld: [[spoiler: Spends two decades trapped in the hellish Black Lodge]].
* TurnInYourBadge: After solving the Laura Palmer case, he is put on trial for crossing national borders as part of his investigation. [[spoiler:He's acquitted when it is shown that his accuser is impersonating a Mountie and is part of an international drug smuggling ring.]]
* WeUsedToBeFriends: With Windom Earle. [[spoiler: Windom Earle went evil and Cooper fell in love with his wife. That will break any friendship.]]

->Played by: Creator/DavidLynch
A high ranking member of the FBI with a special interest in Blue Rose (or paranormal) cases.
* TheAce: Agent Cooper is the best anyone will ever be at anything he ever does. He [[ProfessionalGambler always takes home a ten to fifteen percent return when gambling with bureau funds.]] When at the firing range, [[ImprobableAimingSkills he puts four rounds through the eyes and two through the nostrils.]] He can [[TheProfiler identify people's relationships at a glance.]] He's wary of being present for a witness's sketch artist session because he's [[PsychicPowers "a strong sender" and might influence the results]], [[HypocriticalHumor and then corrects the sketch anyways.]] And to top it all off, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking he whittles up a flute from scratch in just a few hours.]]
* AgentCooper: Co-TropeNamer
* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler: As of 2016, Cooper is still trapped in the Black Lodge. While appearing stoic like he usually does when in the Lodge, the time spent in the hellish dimension seems to be turning him into an EmptyShell. News from TMFANP that his doppelganger is using his body for evil only makes Cooper feel all the more trapped and powerless.]]
* BadassBookworm: Cooper is a man who will do his research - even if it's through unorthodox methods - before ever needing to do anything badass.
* BadassLongCoat: Rocks his signature trench coat when he's doing field work for a case. Cooper could give the [[Series/DoctorWho Tenth Doctor]] and [[Comicbook/JohnConstantine John Constantine]] a run for their money in how to make trench coats look good.
* BadassInANiceSuit: ...and he'll wear it over a reasonably stylish, reasonably priced suit. [[spoiler: Subverted in ''The Return'' as Cooper is still wearing his impeccable suit when he returns to reality only to be later dressed up in Dougie's oversized, clownish, lime green sports coat while in his EmptyShell state.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: A few times, like when he, Truman, and Hawk infiltrate One Eyed Jack's to [[spoiler: rescue Audrey]].
* BigEater: Sheriff Truman remarks that he must have the metabolism of a bumblebee.
* BigGood: He was always this to some degree. [[spoiler: In ''The Return'' Cooper seems to slooooowly be shaping up to be the BigGood to counter out his EvilCounterpart's BigBad.]]
* BornLucky: While he isn't immune to suffering, things tend to naturally go right for the man. As mentioned above, he tends to take home ten to fifteen percent returns when he gambles with bureau funds. [[spoiler: In a casino, he manages to win every slot machines he uses. He even points to machines (or at least a machine with an image of the Red Room above it) that lets an old lady win as well.]]
* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler: After 25 years trapped in the Black Lodge he is barely able to function as a human being after being released, only capable of imitating the actions and statements of others.]]
* BulletproofFashionPlate: He may have aged 25 years in the Lodge, but his suit is immaculate. (Give or take a hole in his sock.)
* BunnyEarsLawyer: While he may be on the eccentric side, he really is a good detective.
* ByTheBookCop: Somewhat. He generally follows police protocol unless lives are on the line, like when he goes out of his jurisdiction to investigate One Eyed Jack's.
* CaptainsLog: His tape recordings to Diane.
* CassetteCraze: Carries around a tape recorder, into which he dictates memos and daily commentary addressing an unseen Diane.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: To the point where, in the first scene of the regular episode of the series, he records his report ''[[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext hanging upside down from a coat rack]]''.
* ConspiracyTheorist: Given that this is the ''Twin Peaks'' universe, though, the conspiracies he believes in may very well be real, at least in-universe.
* TheChosenOne: [[spoiler: After over two decades in the Black Lodge, it seems as if the spirits of the Lodge have designated Cooper as the envoy to fill out their mysterious plans. First they release him back into reality (albeit as an EmptyShell) then they display avatars of the Black Lodge above jackpot winning slot machines to ensure that he wins an absurd amount of money and attracts attention to himself. They also seem to be rebuilding Cooper's HyperAwareness as seen when they help braindead Cooper instantly identify a liar. Why the Lodge is suddenly assisting Cooper and whatever they have planned for Cooper is still very much a mystery...]]
* CulturedBadass: Knows a few things about a few things, hand in hand with his TheAce status.
* DisabilitySuperpower: [[spoiler: Despite being nearly braindead when he returns to the mortal realm, he can somehow sense which slot machines at a casino are going to be jackpots, as well as intuitively knowing to hide from a sniper he couldn't possibly know was there. It may be the beings in the Black Lodge sending him signs so he can fulfill their plans for him]].
* DreamingTheTruth: A trait he has possessed since childhood and inherited from his late mother (similar to Sarah and Laura), according to ''The Autobiography of F.B.I. Special Agent Dale Cooper''.
* EmptyShell: [[spoiler: Two decades in the Black Lodge have made him apathetic and powerless. When he finally escapes into the normal world, he can barely remember basic functions like walking and talking, to the point where other people think he's had a stroke]].
* EvilLaugh: [[spoiler:Post-BOB-possession.]]
* {{Expy}}: Partly a more morally upright version of Kyle [=MacLachlan=]'s role as Jeffrey Beaumont in ''Film/BlueVelvet''.
** Also comes across as an exaggerated Literature/SherlockHolmes, with his bordering-on-the-absurd eccentricities and powers of deduction.
* FairCop: Probably the handsomest man in the FBI. [[spoiler: Even with twenty five years in the Black Lodge under his belt, he's still shown to have aged fairly well.]]
* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: As of the revival, there is no denying that the 25 years spent in the hellish Black Lodge have messed up Cooper well past any foreseeable recovery (at the moment)]]
* GoodFeelsGood: [[spoiler: Upon Cooper's return to reality, it seems that aside from coffee, the moments when Cooper, in his addled Dougie-state, starts to seem most like his old self and act independently are when he's able to help other people or make some kind of empathetic connection with them, like guiding the old woman in the casino to a winning slot machine, offering Sonny-Jim a potato chip, or protecting Janey-E from Ike.]]
* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: [[spoiler: Well if there's any consolation to make up for the twenty five years stolen from him at least Cooper got to have a roll in the hay with Janey-E that was clearly enjoyable for both parties.]]

Changed line(s) 91,114 (click to see context) from:
* AscendedExtra: He only appeared in four episodes in the original run and his voice was also heard in two others but he appear in almost all episodes of the revival.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Even when compared with AgentCooper himself.
-->COOP, TODAY YOU REMIND ME OF A SMALL MEXICAN CHI-WOW-WOW.
* CreatorCameo: Played by David Lynch himself. He shouts a lot and babbles ''almost'' incoherently.
* DaChief: '''Completely''' averted.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: He sometimes suggests that people do some suggested thing or other rather than whatever he misheard them as saying.
* TheFaceless: Watching his early "appearances" over the phone, and knowing [[WordOfGod Lynch doesn't plan things out]], it's clear that the casting was originally [[AuthorAvatar something of a joke]].

* DidNotThinkThisThrough: Windome Earle believes he can make a deal with the evil forces of the Black Lodge to gain great power. The problem is he seems to miss they're not LawfulEvil DealWithTheDevil types but AlwaysChaoticEvil EldritchAbomination ones.
* EvilCounterpart: A fallen version of Coop himself. Coop even blames himself for it, poor guy. [[spoiler: Cooper is wrong as Earle's evil is a result of his study of the Black Lodge.
*
* FallenHero: One of the worst in the FBI's history.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He's prone to silly antics

*
* NoObjectPermanence: Demonstrates this in ''The Return''. She struggles with the concept of mobile phones and Sheriff Truman making it to the office while supposedly being in the mountains. In another scene, she obsesses over what happens to the thermostat when she's not around.
* SassySecretary: Usually not very sassy (except when she has to deal with Andy's cluelessness or Dick's antics; then she ''really'' turns up the sass), but all the other stereotypical secretary traits (nasal, watches soap operas).
* WillTheyOrWontThey: With Andy for most of the series. [[spoiler:

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Still satisfying to watch, though. Leo is an awful, awful man.
* LargeHam: Is he ever! An example includes murdering a man so he can put him inside a giant chess piece. Also, a lengthy speech where talks about harnessing the power of the Black Lodge to bring about hell on Earth.
* LaughablyEvil: He may be someone you don't want to screw with, but some of the weird things he does (like [[spoiler:walking through the woods in a horse costume]]) are so ridiculous you can't help but laugh.
* LoveMakesYouCrazy: A CrazyJealousGuy who became obsessed with revenge on Cooper because of his wife falling in love with him. Cooper reciprocating didn't help.
* MasterOfDisguise: A bit of an InformedAbility as his disguises, while good, are easily seen through by the viewer.
* ManipulativeBastard: Is very good at setting people against one another and playing on their psychological weaknesses.
* ObfuscatingInsanity: PlayedWith. He faked a number of symptoms to get himself committed to an asylum to throw people off his tracks but Earle himself is deranged and he only pretended to be less coherent than what he was.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: With Cooper. Partners in fact.
* YourSoulIsMine: In the Season 2 finale. [[spoiler:And it's DoubleSubverted. He tries to steal Cooper's soul -- then BOB steals Earle's for breaking the rules of the Black Lodge. ''Then'' Cooper's soul is trapped in the Lodge anyway.]]

** Roger is a lot more business-like and professional than the other FBI agents, an amazingly low bar to cross, so he's often a source of comedy due to everyone else's BunnyEarsLawyer behavior.
* InspectorJavert: He doesn't consider the motivations of [[TheAce Agent]] [[NiceGuy Cooper]], the man may have illegally crossed national borders as part of his investigation he must be brought to justice!
* JerkassHasAPoint: Cooper has a lot of charges thrown at him and some are ridiculous like drugs going missing (with the implication Cooper sold them). However, Cooper's assault on One-Eyed Jacks to rescue Audrey resulted in a man being killed and didn't involve the Canadian authorities.

* TheSkeptic: Not a believer in Cooper's unorthodox and spiritual methods of detective work and recommends a full psych evaluation for Cooper.

* GoodFeelsGood: Deconstructed: when he starts to improve himself, Ben is clearly ecstatic to be doing the right thing for once. However, he doesn't take into the account the feelings of the people around him. For example, [[spoiler:
*
* HandsomeLech: Has relationships with a large number of women in addition to the many prostitutes in his employ he sleeps with. Would be TheCasanova if not for the fact Ben is prone to corny oddball behavior (much like other Twin Peaks residents) and barely disguises his sleazier elements.
* KickTheDog: Refusing to send money to his mother after her grandson robbed her came off as rather cruel for a man who's mostly changed his ways.
* LargeHam: Especially in the middle-to-later episodes when things start to fall apart for him, which causes him to get much more dramatic and uncomposed, but especially

* SmugSnake: Ben Horne is more intelligent than most of Twin Peaks criminals but he's brought low by Cooper and Truman.
*
* TheCharacterDiedWithHim: [[spoiler: Died in a fire some years prior to the TimeSkip]], as Don S. Davis sadly passed away in 2008.
* CoolOldGuy: More like "Cool Middle-aged Guy", but close enough.
* ConspiracyTheorist: Actually ''more so'' than [[spoiler: Cooper]]. Though it might be a result of [[spoiler:him being in on the (seemingly) BenevolentConspiracy]].
* {{Eagleland}}: Flavor 1. Down to his uniform being his attire of choice for seemingly everything.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: What more can you say about a man whose greatest fear is the "possibility that love is not enough"?

* VillainousBreakdown: Several episodes in the making, but he finally goes well and truly off the rails when [[spoiler:he loses One-Eyed Jack's]].
* WhatHaveIBecome: He asks himself this a few times, [[IgnoredEpiphany only to shrug it off again]]. It seems to finally have stuck after [[spoiler:Audrey got seriously injured in the bank explosion]].
* YourCheatingHeart: Possibly the biggest offender in the series. He's married to Sylvia but he has an affair with Catherine Martell, sees the prostitutes in One Eyed Jack, [[spoiler:was one of Laura's lovers]] and [[spoiler:is revealed to be Donna's real father at the
* NotSoStoic: His various [[spoiler: kidnappings]] take a serious toll on his psyche, to the point of stammering and shaking.
* OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler: In ''The Return'' the headless, vivisected corpse of a man identified as Major Briggs has apparently been popping up several times over the years with the Military covering it up. Tellingly it's Briggs' head that floats by Cooper in the Black Lodge.]]
* PosthumousCharacter: [[spoiler: Before he was killed by the Doppelganger, Briggs left instructions on how to enter the Black Lodge and coordinates that reveal the existence of two Coopers with his wife who passed it on to Sheriff Truman, Hawk and their son Bobby 25 years after Season 2. His legacy seems to be a key factor in the events of ''The Return''.]]

* CoolBigSis: She acts as one towards Shelly Johnson, and

* BettyAndVeronica: The Veronica to Annie's Betty. In a twist, she's actually sort of a better person than Donna.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Mostly in the early episodes.
* BreakTheHaughty: Proudly manipulates her way into One-Eyed Jack's--and then, her experiences there [[OhCrap hits her hard
* TheDogBitesBack: Hank Jennings really shouldn't have crossed her.
*
* FilleFatale: [[DownplayedTrope She's eighteen, actually.]] But her sexuality is of the "playful/childlike" quality.
* FemmeFatale: ''Loves'' to revel in the role, particularly for Cooper. As the first season progresses, we come to discover she's actually more of an HeroicSeductress, using her sexual antics to investigate and sabotage the corruption around her.
* GenerationXerox: Becomes every bit as conniving as her father as the series goes on.
* GoodBadGirl: Puts off a highly sexual airs, and generally acts pretty rebellious, but all in all she's quite moral,

* BecomingTheMask: Starts off using a conservation scheme to derail Catherine's real estate plans, but eventually takes it seriously and starts reflecting on the decisions of his past.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Besides his legitimate company, which alone makes him the biggest business owner in Twin Peaks, he also got his finger in several more shady businesses, [[spoiler:such as One-Eyed Jacks]], and he is always plotting new ways to expand his business empire, usually through means that are extremely underhanded at best and outright illegal at worst.
* DeathGlare: A pretty hilarious version. One episode has a scene of Ben's 27 year old son [[AmbiguousDisorder Johnny]] running around outside in his Native American headdress playing Cowboys & Indians and emitting a childish war cry. Cue a shot of Ben looking out the window [[InadequateInheritor staring daggers into his only male heir]].
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: He kisses his mother's image while watching the old film.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: For all his manipulations, he genuinely cares for Audrey and is clearly proud of her when she asks to work in his department store.
* GoodFeelsGood: Deconstructed: when he starts to improve himself, Ben is clearly ecstatic to be doing the right thing for once. However, he doesn't take into the account the feelings of the people around him. For example, [[spoiler: revealing to Donna that he's her father may have been "right" but it completely tears apart her family in the season two finale.]]
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: He usually smokes cigars, signifying his role as a CorruptCorporateExecutive. After [[spoiler: his HeelFaceTurn in the second season]], he seems to [[AddictionDisplacement switch to celery stalks and carrots]].
* HandsomeLech: Has relationships with a large number of women in addition to the many prostitutes in his employ he sleeps with. Would be TheCasanova if not for the fact Ben is prone to corny oddball behavior (much like other Twin Peaks residents) and barely disguises his sleazier elements.
* KickTheDog: Refusing to send money to his mother after her grandson robbed her came off as rather cruel for a man who's mostly changed his ways.
* LargeHam: Especially in the middle-to-later episodes when things start to fall apart for him, which causes him to get much more dramatic and uncomposed, but especially so in the episodes after [[spoiler:he has a complete breakdown and starts acting and dressing like General Robert E. Lee]]. Even before that though, he fits the subtler variety of ham pretty well. His speech patterns can best be compared to that of Lionel Luthor from ''Series/{{Smallville}}'', in that both of them put emphasis on any words and parts of their lines that they feel are important.
* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:Revealed in the season 2 finale to be Donna's father.]]
* NotSoAboveItAll: Especially prevalent in season 1 where Ben is a more serious and sinister character than most other Twin Peaks residents. He's not above his own bit of odd behaviors such as when his brother introduces him to baguettes or when Leland comes in singing and he and Jerry break out the celebratory dance moves.
* PetTheDog: When his daughter is taken hostage, Ben sends Cooper to make the drop, fully intending for him to die per the hostage negotiator's orders. He does also send Hank to follow them and while he wants Hank to bring back his money as well, Ben places the greater importance on his daughter's safety.
* SharpDressedMan: In contrast to the retro-'50s style that most of the town dresses in, Ben favors '80s patterned ties and double-breasted suits.
* SmugSnake: Ben Horne is more intelligent than most of Twin Peaks criminals but he's brought low by Cooper and Truman.
* TookALevelInKindness: He starts the show as a manipulative businessman and cheating husband who exploited the girls at One-Eyed Jack's for his personal enjoyment. [[spoiler: Twenty-five years later, he openly criticizes Jerry for lusting after his married secretary and is clearly uncomfortable when Jerry points out that "never used to stop you".]]
** In ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'' the Archivist notices that the shock of [[spoiler:Audrey getting seriously injured in the bank explosion]], caused a subtle, but profound change in Ben's behavior and outlook, leading him to gradually become a better and more caring person.

* VillainDecay: You don't get much lower than an extended plotline where you think you're General Lee.
* VillainousBreakdown: Several episodes in the making, but he finally goes well and truly off the rails when [[spoiler:he loses One-Eyed Jack's]].
* WhatHaveIBecome: He asks himself this a few times, [[IgnoredEpiphany only to shrug it off again]]. It seems to finally have stuck after [[spoiler:Audrey got seriously injured in the bank explosion]].
* YourCheatingHeart: Possibly the biggest offender in the series. He's married to Sylvia but he has an affair with Catherine Martell, sees the prostitutes in One Eyed Jack, [[spoiler:was one of Laura's lovers]] and [[spoiler:is revealed to be Donna's real father at the end]].

Changed line(s) 602,633 (click to see context) from:
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Has become this to Ben by ''The Return'', which is hilarious as they're both over sixty.
* BigEater: He fell in love Brie-on-baguette sandwiches when he went to Paris on a business trip for Ben. He brings home no less than four of them and insists that Ben try one. As a rule, he winds up developing a taste for at least one exotic or unusual dish from every foreign country he's been to, and likes to tell people about them in great detail.
** With the legalization of marijuana in Washington State, Jerry's taken to producing and selling his own edibles. His first scene in the third season introduces him chowing down on his own recipe for cannabis banana bread.
* CasanovaWannabe: Jerry, like his brother, is obsessed with women but unlike Ben doesn't seem able to get any love that isn't paid for.
* CloudCuckooLander: Already showed shades of this in the original series, but as of the return has seemingly become one of the loopier residents of Twin Peaks, doubtless due to his implied heavy use of weed.
* DragonWithAnAgenda: Downplayed. When Ben starts losing his mind, Jerry considers using the situation to his advantage by going ahead with his own ventures until Audrey puts a stop to it. In spite of this Jerry is still concerned about his brother's mental health and is quite happy when he recovers.
* DumbassHasAPoint: Jerry isn't a very good lawyer, Coop notes he failed the Bar exam twice and graduated last in his class, but the advice he gives Ben when he's arrested [[spoiler:for Laura's murder]] is pretty sound (and his big plan is to get his brother a better lawyer). Mainly he keeps trying to stop Ben from [[DiggingYourselfDeeper yammering on and insulting everyone]] because he's just making himself look guilty, and everything he's saying can and will be used against him in court. Even when he gives the ultimatum: charge Ben or let him go... which results in them charging him; Jerry isn't in the wrong because that's just what the police have to do anyway.
** In ''The Return'' Jerry also notes that he's making three times what his brother does with the Great Northern hotel as a legal marijuana grower. It should be noted Ben is a ''millionaire.''
* EruditeStoner: Twenty five years after Season 2 he seems to have become one. By 2016, Jerry not only appears to be taking advantage of Ben's investment in the medical marijuana industry but his new favorite food is marijuana infused banana bread.
* {{Keet}}: Jerry tends to get very enthusiastic when he discovers something he finds new and exciting, usually some kind of food, dresses in colorful clothes, and is notably more animated and active in how he moves than his more subdued brother.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: When Ben is falsely accused of Laura Palmer's murder, his legal counsel is literally to get a better lawyer.
* MarijuanaIsLSD: In ''The Return'', either he actually took some acid or he found himself a strain of marijuana that's powerful enough to hallucinate his foot talking to him. [[TheCloudCookoolanderWasRight Either that or his leg has been possessed by one of the demons living in the woods. The latter is entirely possible and probably the likeliest explanation.]]
* NumberTwo: Of all Ben's associates, Jerry's the one who Ben confides in. Jerry acts as Ben's co-conspirator, and he's the one taking international trips to secure investors.
* ShadowArchetype: To his brother. He publicly displays all the traits Ben attempts to hide behind his everyday mask of sophistication, from flamboyance and quirkiness, up to womanizing and underhanded and aggressive business manners. This also shown in more obvious ways; where Ben is a SharpDressedMan who favors muted colors in his wardrobe, Jerry seems to attempt to always be dressed as bombastically as possible.
* SmugSnake: Is a villain in the fact he's a less effective and dumber version of his brother.
* TheStoner: In ''The Return'', where he now runs a legal marijuana dispensary and seems to be almost constantly high. By 2016, he greatly resembles the type of bearded, spaced out older guy you'd find at a Music/{{Phish}} concert.
* SunglassesAtNight: Wears these in ''The Return'' as part of his new stoner persona.
* ToxicFriendInfluence: As detailed under ShadowArchetype, Jerry embodies and brings out Ben's worst traits. [[spoiler: During the TimeSkip, Ben seems to have cut Jerry out of both the hotel business and most of his personal life, in his efforts at self-improvement.]] ** By ''The Return'' their relationship has settled into a stable but strained relationship where Jerry regularly shows up to bother a visibly annoyed Ben.

* AmbiguousDisorder: It is unclear exactly what Johnny suffers from, but it causes him to be a silent, childish shut-in that sometimes makes weird outbursts. [[spoiler:A DeletedScene reveals that Johnny actually has a perfectly normal brain and intelligence, and his behavior stems from a serious trauma he experienced early in life, and Dr. Jacoby is optimistic about the prospects of unearthing this trauma.]]
* InadequateInheritor: It is clear that Ben expected his sole son to take over the family business, and it disappoints him to no end that Johnny really is in no condition to do so.
* ManChild: As brought on by his condition. At the start of the series Johnny is "27 going on 6."

* InadequateInheritor: It is clear that Ben expected his sole son to take over the family business, and it disappoints him to no end that Johnny really is in no condition to do so.
* ManChild: As brought on by his condition. At the start of the series Johnny is "27 going on 6."

As a rule, he winds up developing a taste for Bobby got married... and it didn't last, though she still carries his last name and they still seem to get along, at least one exotic or unusual dish from every foreign country he's been to, and likes to tell people about them in great detail.
** With the legalization of marijuana in Washington State, Jerry's taken to producing and selling his own edibles. His first scene in the third season introduces him chowing down on his own recipe for cannabis banana bread.
* CasanovaWannabe: Jerry, like his brother,where their daughter is obsessed with women but unlike Ben doesn't seem able to get any love that isn't paid for.
* CloudCuckooLander: Already showed shades of this in the original series, but as of the return has seemingly become one of the loopier residents of Twin Peaks, doubtless due to his implied heavy use of weed.
* DragonWithAnAgenda: Downplayed. When Ben starts losing his mind, Jerry considers using the situation to his advantage by going ahead with his own ventures until Audrey puts a stop to it. In spite of this Jerry is still concerned about his brother's mental health and is quite happy when he recovers.
* DumbassHasAPoint: Jerry isn't a very good lawyer, Coop notes he failed the Bar exam twice and graduated last in his class, but the advice he gives Ben when he's arrested [[spoiler:for Laura's murder]] is pretty sound (and his big plan is to get his brother a better lawyer). Mainly he keeps trying to stop Ben from [[DiggingYourselfDeeper yammering on and insulting everyone]] because he's just making himself look guilty, and everything he's saying can and will be used against him in court. Even when he gives the ultimatum: charge Ben or let him go... which results in them charging him; Jerry isn't in the wrong because that's just what the police have to do anyway.
** In ''The Return'' Jerry also notes that he's making three times what his brother does with the Great Northern hotel as a legal marijuana grower. It should be noted Ben is a ''millionaire.''
* EruditeStoner: Twenty five years after Season 2 he seems to have become one. By 2016, Jerry not only appears to be taking advantage of Ben's investment in the medical marijuana industry but his new favorite food is marijuana infused banana bread.

* ArtisticLicenseMedicine: Mental health version. Everything about how treats his patients save Johnny Horne. The fact he knew about Laura's many issues (which included active illegal activity) is especially noteworthy.
* BeyondTheImpossible: By 2016, Jacoby has a genuine chance of surpassing the Log Lady as the biggest CloudCuckooLander in all of Twin Peaks.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: In a town of weirdos who are great at their job, Doctor Jacoby is an awful-awful psychologist. Zig-Zagged as he does help Johnny Horne prepare for the funeral of Laura Palmer and cure Ben Horne's insanity.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Dr. Jacoby was born in Hawaii and has had an obsession with the place all his life, dressing in tropical shirts and decorating his entire home with Polynesian kitsch. Taken UpToEleven in ''The Return'', where he's a ConspiracyTheorist with his own podcast/pirate radio show who sells spray painted "shit digging shovels" for 29.99 a pop.
* CoolShades: He almost always wears a pair of 3D glasses. Twenty five years later in Season 3 he's shown to wear them even under larger sunglasses!
* ConspiracyTheorist: An overtly humorous example in ''The Return''. He runs a pirate radio station in which he advocates naturopathic medicine and anti-GMO conspiracy theories as a lead-in to making a pitch for his shovel business.
** Notable for the fact TheMenInBlack, TheFairFolk, TheSyndicate, as well as an FBI conspiracy all exist in this universe. Yet, ''nothing'' Jacoby says is true.
* JerkassBall: He frequently switches between trying to be genuinely helpful and acting extremely insensitive and dismissive. One particular example is after Laura's funeral, where he guiltily confesses to Cooper that he doesn't care about his patients, but wants to help find Laura's killer. He then proceeds to completely fail to offer anything of value and secretly keeps Laura's necklace for himself, rather than hand it over as evidence. In ''The Return'', he is an exploitative con man using a conspiracy podcast to get gullible townspeople to buy his overpriced painted shovels.
* HigherUnderstandingThroughDrugs: ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'' discusses the fact that he has always had an interest in tribal views on mental illnesses, and he would spend a good part of his youth seeking out various isolated tribes in South America and attempting to gain insight in how they understood the human mind by partaking in their rituals. Naturally, quite a few of these rituals involved the use of strong psychoactive drugs, and Jacoby insists in his journals that he is much the wiser for having gone through these experiences.
* ItAmusedMe: Doctor Jacoby seems to actively enjoy feeding his patient's neuroses like encouraging Ben Horne to act like General Lee and having Nadine enroll in high school. Given he confesses to Cooper he doesn't care about any of his patients, this is almost certainly deliberate. Also, he looks terribly amused whenever his patients are having complete breakdowns.
* LargeHam: Gets ''really'' worked up while doing his radio show, often letting loose a ClusterFBomb for good measure.
* MakingASpectacleOfYourself: he always wears a pair of 3D glasses.
* TheStoner: According to ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'' and ''The Return'', he has been living a stoner lifestyle for a while, which [[CloudCuckooLander explains a lot]].
* UglyGuyHotWife: Dr. Jacoby isn't so much "ugly" as he is quirky and unattractive. However, he's married to a pretty Hawaiian woman who seems to be a [[MayDecemberRomance couple years younger than him]].
* WorstAid: Doctor Jacoby is probably one of the worst psychologists in the world. His handling of just about everyone in the show is comically terrible.

Probably the most unusual of the Twin Peaks townsfolk, ([[QuirkyTown which is]] [[EccentricTownsfolk saying a lot]]). Margaret Lanterman, a/k/a "The Log Lady", is an [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} eccentric]] recluse who lives in a cabin in the forest. She is always seen carrying a [[CompanionCube log]] (hence her nickname), which is implied to either contain the spirit of her dead lumberjack husband or, as of ''Fire Walk With Me'', to serve as a link to him in the Black Lodge -- though she never voices either theory outright and is implied to be forbidden from doing so. Because of this, the other townsfolk think she's crazy. She was with Laura five days before her murder. Also, her husband is Jurgen Prochnow.

!!Evelyn Marsh
->Played by: Annette [=McCarthy=]
[[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/marsh.jpg]]
A woman who causes no end of trouble for James Hurley.
-----
* AmbiguouslyEvil: Like Josie, it's never entirely clear whether Evelyn Marsh is telling the truth about anything.
* BadBadActing: A charitable interpretation of her seduction of James is she's not that good at it.
* ConsummateLiar: Averted as her lies are close to BlatantLies but [[GoodIsDumb James buys them hook, line, and sinker.]]
* {{Expy}}: Basically is a Caucasian Josie Packard.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: One interpretation of why she balked at framing James. The other is a HighHeelFaceTurn. A third is she recognized killing James was possible but Donna would be one body too many.
* FemmeFatale: Is a walking stereotype, down to the allegedly abusive husband and the seeming intent to seduce James into a criminal situation.
* KarmaHoudini: Basically puts all the blame on her partner and plays the role of a terrified victim.
* KickTheDog: All but brags to Donna she's slept with James (Donna's boyfriend at the time). This despite the fact Donna and James are ''seventeen.''
* ManipulativeBitch: Plans to frame James Hurley for killing her husband.
* ShesGotLegs: And ''loves'' showing them off.
* SympatheticAdulterer: How Evelyn Marsh portrays herself. The truth is she's anything but.
* TheVamp: A classic example of one who easily persuades James Hurley to come to her bed.
* WomenPreferStrongMen: Acts this way, anyway, goading James into reflecting on his "free" lifestyle of living on the road.
!!John Justice Wheeler
->Played by: BillyZane
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/johnjusticewheeler.png]]
A love interest brought in for Audrey Horne when Cooper and her romance was shot down by ExecutiveMeddling.
-----
* TheAce: Rose from humble beginnings with Ben's help to raise his own empire.
* AwesomeMcCoolName: John Justice Wheeler is about the most 90s name you could come up with. Either that or something which belongs in WesternAnimation.
* ButNowIMustGo: Pretty much how his break-up with Audrey is handled.
* CatchPhrase: "Call me Jack." [[RunningGag No one does.]]
* CharacterShilling: Ben Horne gives the guy's glowing recommendations in front of his daughter.
* DebtDetester: It's implied that rather than genuinely liking Ben Horne, Jack feels indebted to him for giving him the seed money to start his company.
* HonestCorporateExecutive: Despite the fact he's a corporate raider, he's depicted as fixing damaged businesses so they'll flourish while also making them eco-friendly. In short, the very opposite of Ben Horne.
* ImprobableAge: A DownplayedTrope example. Billy Zane was about 25 when Twin Peaks aired and while it's not IMPOSSIBLE for Jack to have done all the things he's done, it's somewhat unlikely.
* NiceGuy: Considering he was a SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute to Coop as a love interest for Audrey, he is very nice, handsome, and extremely successful.
* OddFriendship: Given Ben Horne is a CorruptCorporateExecutive, attempted murderer, serial adulterer, and pimp (!) among his other less-savory qualities--it's rather strange to find him friends with a NiceGuy HonestCorporateExecutive like Jack.
* PutOnABus: Or, rather, put on a plane.
* UnclePennybags: Buys failing businesses, streamlines them, and then makes them eco-friendly. Probably the nicest depiction of a corporate shark like Gordon Gecko you'll ever see.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: His entire role in the series revolves about being Audrey's love interest. Played with as he has a (minor) role in Ben Horne's plan to sabotage the Ghostwood development project.
* SelfMadeMan: Apparently, worked his way up through construction (as a laborer) to starting his own company before becoming a corporate raider.

A beautiful refugee from a convent who takes up residence in Twin Peaks. She starts work at the Double R Diner and soon becomes Cooper's love interest.
-----
* BettyAndVeronica: The Betty to Audrey's Veronica.
* ExecutiveMeddling: Was installed in the series to be Cooper's love interest in place of Audrey.
* FanServiceWithASmile: Becomes a waitress at the Double R Diner.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has one on her wrist that's never explained, but presumably from a suicide attempt.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: A sweet girl who escaped from a nunnery played by the very blonde Heather Graham.
* NiceGirl: Almost as nice as Audrey.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Has qualities of Shelly and Audrey.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Harry assures Cooper that she's OK, even though both her scenes in the Black Lodge and her cameo in ''Fire Walk With Me'' heavily imply that she was murdered. Mentions of her in ''The Return'' seem to be deliberately ambiguous on her current status.
!!Blackie O'Reilly
->Played by: Victoria Catlin
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/x_760c254b.jpg]]
The madame for One Eyed Jacks and the mastermind behind [[spoiler: Audrey Horne's kidnapping.]]
-----
* BigBadWannabe: She is way out of her depth when she graduates from prostitution to kidnapping.
* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:She's fatally stabbed by Jean Renault early in Season 2, during the police raid on One Eyed Jack's, when it seems that she might be willing to sell him out to protect herself.]]
* DepravedBisexual: ''The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer'' reveals that she availed herself of the services of the girls at One Eyed Jack's, in addition to having a long-standing affair with its male owner and certain regular clients.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Is a beautiful pale skinned and dark haired woman.
* FunctionalAddict: Blackie has a heroine addiction, and while she is stable most of the time, she quickly becomes a wreck if she not given the drug regularly. The Horne brother uses this fact to control her and keep her docile.
!!Madeline "Maddy" Ferguson
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maddy_ferguson.PNG]]
->Played by: Sheryl Lee
Laura Palmer's identical cousin. She comes to Twin Peaks to help find justice for her dead relative.
-----
* AloneWithThePsycho: [[spoiler: In her final scene, with BOB. She doesn't survive]].
* AuthorAppeal: Maddy's hometown is Missoula, Montana, which is also the birthplace of Creator/DavidLynch.
* BackupTwin: Backup Cousin, actually.
* ButtMonkey: Maddy tries to help get justice for her cousin but nothing goes right and she almost breaks up her only friends in ''Twin Peaks.''
* BreakTheCutie: The drama in Twin Peaks starts taking its toll on the poor girl, to the point where she starts crying because people keep seeing Laura in her. She does try and pull herself together and [[spoiler:then this trope slips into KillTheCutie as BOB/Leland chases her down and kills her]].
* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:An especially infamous and shockingly brutal one (at least for the time of the original broadcast). She ends up getting beaten to death by Leland possessed by BOB.]]
* DawsonCasting: Possibly averted. ''The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer'' establishes Maddy as three years older than Laura Palmer despite their identical appearances. Which may be FridgeBrilliance given that's closer to Sheryl Lee's actual age. Played with as Maddie is never treated as any older than Donna or James.
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: [[spoiler: Her death at BOB's hands is one of the most brutal scenes in the show]].
* ForgottenFallenFriend: Maddy has a shockingly small amount of information about her outside of ''The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer''.
* {{Meganekko}}: Although she ditches the glasses later on.
* NiceGirl: Unlike her much edgier cousin, whose personal life was steeped in sex, drugs and deception, Maddy is straight out sweet and innocent. Even when she goes along with James and Donna's risky plans to find out who killed Laura, she's usually hesitant to go through with it or is regretful afterwards, probably only going along with them in the first place out of a desire to make some sorts of friends in Twin Peaks.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: His debut scene in ''Fire Walk With Me''. He's a GrumpyOldMan with typical Lynchian quirks, having a sign not to bother him before 9 a.m. and helping the detectives into the victim's trailer. In spite of that, he's cooperative with the FBI and brings them some coffee.

* LazyBum: Then again, trauma and depression can have that effect.

* SmokingIsCool: In ''The Return'' he happily comments on having smoked everyday for 75 years without any negative effects. Played with as he's making an observation about the fickleness of fate versus commenting on its lack of health risks.
* TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow: ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'' explains that he is a traumatized victim of [[spoiler: an "alien" abduction as a child, in addition to some of the other trailer park residents he lived with]], resulting in the Lodge creatures and Woodsmen haunting the area now and again as seen in ''Fire Walk With Me''.
* TookALevelInKindness: In ''The Return'', Carl has mellowed out considerably and is a quietly friendly old man who wants the best for those around him.
* TraumaButton: At least twice, he has been visibly haunted and shell-shocked by seeing evidence of the Black Lodge in the "normal" world. His childhood experiences with the Lodge were definitely on the traumatic side.
* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: His business, Fat Trout Trailer Park, is close enough to have numerous residents of Twin Peaks come in and out of it while far enough to be across county lines.

* CrypticConversation: His monologue on briefly reappearing is vague, weird and dissonant enough in tone that it only makes sense [[ItMakesSenseInContext if you know what will happen later chronologically in the series]]. And even then, it's pretty cryptic and bizarre. The fact that brief flashes of a screaming monkey show up on screen during his speech sure doesn't add any clarity.

!!Carl Rodd
->Played by: Creator/HarryDeanStanton
[[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mqdefault_9.jpg]]
A local trailer park owner living [[WhereTheHellIsSpringfield outside Twin Peaks in Deer Meadow]]. He is involved in two murders in ''Fire Walk With Me'' and ''The Return'' but only as a bystander.
-----
* BystanderSyndrome: [[spoiler: Averted when he is the only one to go and console the mother whose son got mowed down by Richard Horne.]]
* CoolOldGuy: If not originally then definitely by the time of ''The Return''. Seeing as he is played by Creator/HarryDeanStanton, this is a given. WordOfGod has it that Carl was one of the [[https://twitter.com/mfrost11/status/890292121172881408 original bookhouse boys]] back in the 1940s.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Was traumatized by an abduction involving either [[spoiler: aliens, woodsmen, or the Black Lodge]]. In any case, it wasn't pleasant, and Briggs outright speculates in ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'' that Carl Rodd may have been a traumatized victim of child molestation.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: His debut scene in ''Fire Walk With Me''. He's a GrumpyOldMan with typical Lynchian quirks, having a sign not to bother him before 9 a.m. and helping the detectives into the victim's trailer. In spite of that, he's cooperative with the FBI and brings them some coffee. The scenes serve as a good summary of Carl's character and further highlights Deer Meadows as the inverted Twin Peaks being an inhabitant of the former but behaving like the latter (cooperative with the investigation, strange but friendly, and giving good coffee).
* GrumpyOldMan: Especially in his first appearance in ''Fire Walk With Me'' where he hangs a sign on his trailer's door specifically saying not to be bothered before 9 a.m.
* HiddenDepths: Turns out that Creator/HarryDeanStanton and Carl by extension, are quite good at singing and playing the guitar.
* LazyBum: Then again, trauma and depression can have that effect.
* PsychicPowers: Implied to have some kind of connection to the Black Lodge. In ''The Return'' after [[spoiler: a coked out Richard Horne kills a little kid with his truck, Carl is able to see some sort of yellow energy float away from the boy's body only to unfortunatley become caught in electrical cables.]]
* SmokingIsCool: In ''The Return'' he happily comments on having smoked everyday for 75 years without any negative effects. Played with as he's making an observation about the fickleness of fate versus commenting on its lack of health risks.

* CardCarryingVillain: Literally. Shortly before he murders her, Doppel Dale shows Daria a playing card he carries around with him. It's an Ace of Spades card, only in the center instead of an ace it's a bizarre, black circle with antenna like appenditures so the closest thing it resembles is a bug like a tick.
* ChickMagnet: He seems to have no problem in picking up morally questionable women before murdering them.
* CosmicDeadline: Seems to be well aware that he's due to be returned to the Black Lodge twenty five years after being released.
* CreepyMonotone: Speaks in an unnatural, almost robotic cadence, especially after his capture when he seems to lose a bit of his power.
* CurbstompBattle: Deals one to [[spoiler:
* DarkIsEvil: Whereas BOB wore a denim jacket, Coopelganger seems to favor a black leather jacket to highlight his evil nature.
* DarkReprise: Many of his characteristics and dialogue are sinister reimaginings of Cooper's mannerisms. He even gets a gunshot to the gut like Cooper.
-->'''Special Agent Dale Cooper:''' What I want and what I need are two different things, Audrey.
-->'''Mr. C:''' I don't need anything. I want.
* DirtyOldMan: Special Agent Dale Cooper turned down the amorous advances of Audrey Horne due to moral reservations. BOB!Cooper delights in feeling up women much younger than he is (at least physically).
* TheDreaded: Just like BOB. While most of Cooper's friends believe he just vanished, those familiar with the "new" Cooper dread his presence.
* EmotionEater: Presumably feeds off of the pain and suffering of others like BOB. [[spoiler: There was certainly a large amount of garmonbozia in his stomach.]]
* EvilCounterpart: [[CaptainObvious Helloooo-ooooo!]]
* EvilLaugh: His first action upon being created by BOB is to cackle like a psychopath alongside his creator in the Black Lodge. It's also one of the first things he does upon waking up in reality.
* EvilPlan: It's heavily implied that in an effort to escape his CosmicDeadline, the Doppelganger with the help of BOB created Dougie, another doppelganger of Cooper, to act as a decoy and throw off the trail of the Black Lodge. [[spoiler: It works.]]
*
* FatalFlaw: For how easily he manages to operate on a day-to-day, he's too evil to know how to imitate [[NiceGuy Cooper]] and proves to be utterly incapable of tricking Gordon
* FusionDance: Despite the

-->'''Albert:''' I'm feeling better now.

* LargeHam: Subverted in that
*
* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Like Frank Silva before him, Creator/KyleMacLachlan's personality is light years away from such an evil character.
* ObviouslyEvil: Dark clothing and CreepyMonotone aside, everyone who's known Cooper can't help noticing that there's something inherently [[UncannyValley wrong]] with his character that tips them off that he's not the real one.
* OneHitKill: Caves [[spoiler: Renzo's]] face in with one punch as retribution for [[BullyingADragon being punched by him earlier]].
* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: [[spoiler:He's strongly implied to have raped Diane, and as such, she finds him — who she initially mistakes for the real Cooper — to be revolting and refuses to have anything more to do with him. Of course, he
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Whether or not the Doppelganger being separate from BOB was the plan all along, Frank Silva passing away in 1995 certainly made it impossible to show scenes of an older BOB. So far [[FanNickname Mr. C]] has certainly filled the void left by him.
* SerialKiller: Kills at least two people in the first episode of ''The
* ShoutOut: Kyle [=MachLachlan=] says his appearance is derived from that
* TheSociopath: Yessir.
* TheStoic: Twenty five years of becoming accustomed to his body have led Coopelganger to never raise his tone or let a slip of emotion show.
* SuperStrength: Completely ''destroys'' [[spoiler: Renzo, a '' very'' strong man, in an arm wrestling match before crushing his skull with a single punch to the face.]]
* TomTheDarkLord: Another similarity to BOB. When you hear the name "Cooper" you could see why it would go hand in hand with a heroic idealist like Dale Cooper but not a wanted criminal and HumanoidAbomination like Coopelganger.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Even if he isn't actually BOB himself he might as well be. As mentioned above, he emulates BOB's physical appearance and style whilst operating as the BigBad evil force of the Black Lodge. The abundance of similarities is why many fans originally believed that the Doppelganger was still BOB himself.
* SymbioticPossession: Seems to have this going on with BOB.
* UncannyValley: An InUniverse example. Everyone who's met the guy and known the real Cooper is quick to realize that there's something horribly ''off'' about him.
* VomitIndiscretionShot: In Episode 3 of ''The Return'', BOB!Cooper pulls over to the side of the road and pukes out an enormous amount of garmonbozia (cream corn) after narrowly avoiding the Black Lodge's attempt to pull him back in and replace him with Cooper.
* WalkingSpoiler: For the infamous cliffhanger of Season 2 and original series finale.
* WouldHitAGirl: He hits and [[spoiler:then kills]] Daria.
* WildHair: Grows his hair out to resemble BOB's.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Like Dougie he's only 25, but being originally created as a doppelganger to the then 30-something year old Cooper has led him to resemble a man pushing 60 twenty five years after Season 2.

* DarkMistress: Daria is apparently this to Mr. C, [[spoiler: not that it does her much good]].
* HillbillyHorrors: To an almost ''The Hills Have Eyes'' level. They live in a creepy cabin in ths middle of the woods with their deformed family members and are at Mr. C's beck and call.
* TheStarscream: [[spoiler: Ray and Daria try to kill Mr. C at the behest of Philip Jeffries. Both fail, though Ray would have succeeded if not for the intervention of the Woodsmen]].

Changed line(s) 1635,1691 (click to see context) from:
* AmbiguousSituation: Given the very last scene of Season 2 seemed to heavily imply that Cooper was now possessed by BOB in the same manner as Leland, many believed that the Doppelganger was BOB himself in Cooper's original body. Episode 5 of ''The Return'' features a scene with the Doppelganger [[OnceMoreWithClarity flashing back to the scenes of BOB and the Doppelganger cackling in the Black Lodge and smashing Cooper's head on the mirror]] before telling his reflection that he knows that he (BOB) is still there with him, seeming to set the record straight for the audience that BOB and the Doppelganger are two separate entities sharing the same body.
* BackFromTheDead: After his plan to eliminate his crony Ray backfires and Ray instead shoots and kills him, the [[TheLegionsOfHell Woodsmen]] appear and swarm over his body where they start rubbing Mr. C's blood on his face. Whether this was a blessing from the Woodsmen or an attempt at extracting BOB, the result was Coopelganger healing from his bullet wound and coming back to life.
* BadBadActing: In Episode 4 of ''The Return'' he and BOB put on an unsettling, UncannyValley imitation of Cooper's personality and body language during his meeting with Gordon and Albert in jail. It's enough to tip Gordon off that something is very wrong.
* BadBoss: Abusive and threatening to his cronies and won't waste a thought on killing them once they are of no further use to him. This is mostly why Darya and Ray took on the contract from Jeffries to kill Mr. C.
* BarbarianLonghair: Twenty five years after Season 2 he's shown to have grown out Cooper's hair to greatly resemble BOB's own unkempt hair.
* BigBad: For ''The Return''. Effectively serving as the new BOB in light of Frank Silva's death and now sharing the mantle with BOB for evilest villain in the series.
* BlackEyesOfEvil: Has very dark irises that give off this impression most of the time.
* CardCarryingVillain: Literally. Shortly before he murders her, Doppel Dale shows Daria a playing card he carries around with him. It's an Ace of Spades card, only in the center instead of an ace it's a bizarre, black circle with antenna like appenditures so the closest thing it resembles is a bug like a tick.
* ChickMagnet: He seems to have no problem in picking up morally questionable women before murdering them.
* CosmicDeadline: Seems to be well aware that he's due to be returned to the Black Lodge twenty five years after being released.
* CreepyMonotone: Speaks in an unnatural, almost robotic cadence, especially after his capture when he seems to lose a bit of his power.
* CurbstompBattle: Deals one to [[spoiler: Ray's buddy Renzo, crushing him in an arm wrestling contest before crushing his face with one punch]].
* DarkIsEvil: Whereas BOB wore a denim jacket, Coopelganger seems to favor a black leather jacket to highlight his evil nature.
* DarkReprise: Many of his characteristics and dialogue are sinister reimaginings of Cooper's mannerisms. He even gets a gunshot to the gut like Cooper.
-->'''Special Agent Dale Cooper:''' What I want and what I need are two different things, Audrey.
-->'''Mr. C:''' I don't need anything. I want.
* DirtyOldMan: Special Agent Dale Cooper turned down the amorous advances of Audrey Horne due to moral reservations. BOB!Cooper delights in feeling up women much younger than he is (at least physically).
* TheDreaded: Just like BOB. While most of Cooper's friends believe he just vanished, those familiar with the "new" Cooper dread his presence.
* EmotionEater: Presumably feeds off of the pain and suffering of others like BOB. [[spoiler: There was certainly a large amount of garmonbozia in his stomach.]]
* EvilCounterpart: [[CaptainObvious Helloooo-ooooo!]]
* EvilLaugh: His first action upon being created by BOB is to cackle like a psychopath alongside his creator in the Black Lodge. It's also one of the first things he does upon waking up in reality.
* EvilPlan: It's heavily implied that in an effort to escape his CosmicDeadline, the Doppelganger with the help of BOB created Dougie, another doppelganger of Cooper, to act as a decoy and throw off the trail of the Black Lodge. [[spoiler: It works.]]
* EvilSoundsDeep: His voice is noticeably deeper than that of the real Coop.
* FatalFlaw: For how easily he manages to operate on a day-to-day, he's too evil to know how to imitate [[NiceGuy Cooper]] and proves to be utterly incapable of tricking Gordon and Albert.
* FusionDance: Despite the reveal that Coopelganger and BOB are two separate individuals, episode 5 of ''The Return'' sees the Doppelganger's reflection briefly morph into BOB's face as some kind of unholy BOB!Cooper chimera. The Doppelganger's comments seem to imply that BOB resides within the Doppelganger's body but allows Mr. C to be the one behind the wheel.
* TheHeartless: How [[spoiler: Diane]] is able to him apart from the good Coop.
* HorrifyingTheHorror: His underlings include HillBillyHorrors and ProfessionalKillers who are easily cowered by him.
* HumanoidAbomination: An entity created by an EldritchAbomination like BOB in an EldritchLocation like the Black Lodge.
* LargeHam: Subverted in that when BOB first created him he was certainly this. Fast forward twenty five years and the years with Cooper's body have given the Doppelganger time to reel in his personality so that he now appears as TheStoic.
* ManipulativeBastard: His first appearances after the twenty-five year TimeSkip heavily imply that he's tricked various [[UnwittingPawn Unwitting Pawns]] and arranged numerous tragedies and frame jobs over the years without getting caught, all to continue to instill as much suffering as possible.
* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Like Frank Silva before him, Creator/KyleMacLachlan's personality is light years away from such an evil character.
* ObviouslyEvil: Dark clothing and CreepyMonotone aside, everyone who's known Cooper can't help noticing that there's something inherently [[UncannyValley wrong]] with his character that tips them off that he's not the real one.
* OneHitKill: Caves [[spoiler: Renzo's]] face in with one punch as retribution for [[BullyingADragon being punched by him earlier]].
* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: [[spoiler:He's strongly implied to have raped Diane, and as such, she finds him — who she initially mistakes for the real Cooper — to be revolting and refuses to have anything more to do with him. Of course, he ''is'' possessed by BOB, so this is a given.]]
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Whether or not the Doppelganger being separate from BOB was the plan all along, Frank Silva passing away in 1995 certainly made it impossible to show scenes of an older BOB. So far [[FanNickname Mr. C]] has certainly filled the void left by him.
* SerialKiller: Kills at least two people in the first episode of ''The Return'' and there's no telling how high he's ranked his body count over the years.
* ShoutOut: Kyle [=MachLachlan=] says his appearance is derived from that Creator/JavierBardem's portrayal of [[Literature/NoCountryForOldMen Anton Chigurh]]. He also shares a few personality traits with him.
* TheSociopath: Yessir.
* TheStoic: Twenty five years of becoming accustomed to his body have led Coopelganger to never raise his tone or let a slip of emotion show.
* SuperStrength: Completely ''destroys'' [[spoiler: Renzo, a '' very'' strong man, in an arm wrestling match before crushing his skull with a single punch to the face.]]
* TomTheDarkLord: Another similarity to BOB. When you hear the name "Cooper" you could see why it would go hand in hand with a heroic idealist like Dale Cooper but not a wanted criminal and HumanoidAbomination like Coopelganger.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Even if he isn't actually BOB himself he might as well be. As mentioned above, he emulates BOB's physical appearance and style whilst operating as the BigBad evil force of the Black Lodge. The abundance of similarities is why many fans originally believed that the Doppelganger was still BOB himself.
* SymbioticPossession: Seems to have this going on with BOB.
* UncannyValley: An InUniverse example. Everyone who's met the guy and known the real Cooper is quick to realize that there's something horribly ''off'' about him.
* VomitIndiscretionShot: In Episode 3 of ''The Return'', BOB!Cooper pulls over to the side of the road and pukes out an enormous amount of garmonbozia (cream corn) after narrowly avoiding the Black Lodge's attempt to pull him back in and replace him with Cooper.
* WalkingSpoiler: For the infamous cliffhanger of Season 2 and original series finale.
* WouldHitAGirl: He hits and [[spoiler:then kills]] Daria.
* WildHair: Grows his hair out to resemble BOB's.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Like Dougie he's only 25, but being originally created as a doppelganger to the then 30-something year old Cooper has led him to resemble a man pushing 60 twenty five years after Season 2.

* BodyBackUpDrive: Cooper replaces him upon escaping the Black Lodge, although the process isn't perfect.
* CloningGambit: Heavily implied to have been [[spoiler: created by BOB to con the Black Lodge and avoid returning.]]
* CloudCuckooLander: Aside from his sleazy and hedonistic traits, Dougie originally seems like he's more or less a normal person. However, comments made by Dougie's wife and co-workers to EmptyShell Cooper after he takes Dougie's place seem to reveal that people aren't immediately tipped off by Cooper's bizarre behavior because Dougie had a habit of having "episodes" and spacing out.
-->'''Phil Bisby:''' Off in dreamland again, eh Dougie?
* DullSurprise: Like a true copy of Cooper, he takes his abduction into the Black Lodge, hand deflating, his body disintegrating into black smoke and transforming into a tiny golden orb remarkably well.
-->'''Dougie:''' That's... weird.
* FatBastard: Many character note that Cooper weighs ''much'' less than Dougie, a man who 1) got his family into serious debt with dangerous people, 2) frequently drinks, gambles, and cheats in his free time, and 3) is utterly incompetent at his insurance job.
* TheFool: He goes through his day like a zombie but still manages to win $452,000 at a casino, save his company and its clients as well as his own life by the power of intuition.
* HeCleansUpNicely: Seeing as Dougie is just a schlubby, less fashionable version of Cooper. When Cooper takes his place, everyone familiar with Dougie thinks he went on a diet, got a haircut and bought new clothes while remarking on how sharp he looks.
* HenpeckedHusband: Implied, given Janey's initial nonchalance to "Dougie's" odd silence when she confronts him for missing Sonny Jim's birthday. However, Dougie's sleazy, cheating behavior makes it clear that her nagging is ''completely'' justified.
* HumanoidAbomination: He's more of a sleazy, modern day businessman instead of a psychopath like Doppel Coop, but seeing as Dougie is another doppelganger he was still created out of thin air/black smoke.

* CloudCuckooLander: Aside from his sleazy and hedonistic traits, Dougie originally seems like he's more or less a normal person. However, comments made by Dougie's wife and co-workers to EmptyShell Cooper after he takes Dougie's place seem to reveal that people aren't immediately tipped off by Cooper's bizarre behavior because Dougie had a habit of having "episodes" and spacing out.

* TheFool: He goes through his day like a zombie but still manages to win $452,000 at a casino, save his company and its clients as well as his own life by the power of intuition.
* HeCleansUpNicely: Seeing as Dougie is just a schlubby, less fashionable version of Cooper. When Cooper takes his place, everyone familiar with Dougie thinks he went on a diet, got a haircut and bought new clothes while remarking on how sharp he looks.
* HenpeckedHusband: Implied, given Janey's initial nonchalance to "Dougie's" odd silence when she confronts him for missing Sonny Jim's birthday. However, Dougie's sleazy, cheating behavior makes it clear that her nagging is ''completely'' justified.
* HumanoidAbomination: He's more of a sleazy, modern day businessman instead of a psychopath like Doppel Coop, but seeing as Dougie is another doppelganger he was still created out of thin air/black smoke.

[[spoiler: They also treat Cooper to a nice meal when he gets them 30 million dollars.]]
* JerkassHasAPoint: While beating the Pit Boss of their casino and forcing him out of town might seem like a KickTheDog moment, the fact the Pit Boss didn't intervene when [[spoiler: Cooper]] won jackpot after jackpot despite the astronomical odds means he really was woefully incompetent. At the very least, the Pit Boss could have shown [[spoiler: Cooper]] the door after the first couple of jackpots. That's entirely legal for the casino to do, too.
* LaughablyEvil: While not completely harmless, they are portrayed for laughs.
* PetTheDog: [[spoiler: They let Cooper go after he gives them their 30 million dollars and even treat him to a nice dinner which seems to help him come out of his EmptyShell state a bit.]]
** WordOfGod says Candy and the other pink-dressed girls are former sex trafficking victims the brothers took under their protection rather than women they own.
* PragmaticVillainy: Once the financial situation is resolved between them and [[spoiler: Cooper]], they have no further reason to bother him and consider the matter settled.

!!Experiment
->Played by: Erica Eynon
The... [[HumanoidAbomination thing]] that appeared inside the glass box and killed Sam and Tracy.
----
* DeathBySex: It killed Sam Colby and Tracey Barberato when they were hooking up.
* EldritchAbomination: Even moreso than the other spiritual beings in the series. It looks ''nothing'' like a human being, violently kills the only people unfortunate enough to meet it, and is heavily implied to be [[spoiler: the creator of BOB]].
* EyelessFace: Doesn't appear to have any eyes.
* TheGreys: It somewhat resembles this kind of alien.
* HornedHumanoid: Has two small horns on top of its head. [[spoiler: They make it resemble the symbol on the card Mr. C carries around]].
* HumanoidAbomination: It looks humanoid, but we can safely assume that it's anything but human.
!!Señorita Dido
->Played by: Joy Nash
A close compatriot of ???????, exact relation unknown although she appears to be family either by marriage or blood. So far, she has appeared to express shock and terror at the fate of a New Mexico town at the hands of an atomic bomb, and eventually The Woodsmen.
