* BecomingTheMask: Possibly. Host-William is even more touchy about "his" personal issues than the real William, reacting offensively when reminded of Juliet or Emily. This becomes even more pronounced after the twenty-three year jump in time, where he develops a major existential crisis, to the point that he no longer understands who he's meant to be or what his purpose is. Much like the human William.

* ImplacableMan: Much like the original Man in Black in Season One and the Gunslinger from the ''Westworld'' film, this host is a sinister and nigh unstoppable force. He soaks up dozens of rounds of machine-gun fire from Maeve and Caleb, and all it does is slow him down a bit.

He soaks up dozens of rounds of machine-gun fire from Maeve and Caleb, and all it does is slow him down a bit. Justified, as Hale specifically built him as a tougher, stronger version of the Man in Black to be her enforcer, so he is designed to shrug off damage.

* TheBlank: Drone Hosts are simplistic versions of Hosts lacking skin and anything resembling a face, just a blank, white mask. They can still see just find and used as automated labor, performing simple, repetitive tasks that require human-like dexterity.

Host
->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/TessaThompson

Creator/TommyFlanagan

A host copy of Delos board member Charlotte Hale, Martin Connels, created as part of Bernard's plan to help Dolores escape the park.Dolores's plan.



* TheBadGuyWins: As revealed in at the end of the Season 4 episode's "Generation Loss", [[spoiler:Hale won after her experiment succeeded in controlling the humans. She also gets both Maeve and Caleb, who are her adversaries, killed and creates a host copy of the latter. For now, the only people who can stop her are Bernard and the human resistance.]]
* BigBad: Has set herself up as one at the end of the third season, intending to TakeOverTheWorld.
* BigBadSlippage: Season 3 shows her descent as the antagonist for Season 4.
* BecomingTheMask: Host Charlotte genuinely cares for her family even though those emotions come from her implanted memories of the real Charlotte, and she admits to Dolores that she can feel herself slipping away from her true self. After Charlotte's son Nathan and ex-husband Jake are killed by a car bomb, she's shown to feel genuine grief for them.
* CloningBlues: She struggles with her identity, caught between being a copy of Dolores on the inside and having to assume Charlotte's role in the real world.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: In the role of Hale.
* ControlFreak: At the start of Season 4, she plans to control humanity as a way to punish them for what they did to the hosts. [[spoiler:Then, in the second half, she achieves her goal but grows bored with her newfound power and becomes frustrated with the outliers, humans who are considered unpredictable by Rehoboam and immune to mind-controlling parasites. It doesn't help that any host who came into contact with them began to experience an existential crisis. This causes Hale to become impatient because it's the one thing she cannot control, believing that it's a disease.]]
* CrazyPrepared: Just like the original Dolores, she's one step ahead of her foes. She upgrades her hosts, including the Man in Black, to make them resistant to Maeve's commands. [[spoiler:She also sets up a trap to lure Caleb and Maeve into the new Delos 1920's park, Temperance, in order to capture and infect Caleb. If something goes wrong, the Man in Black would help her.]]
* CynicismCatalyst: The killing of her family at Serac's hands and her belief that Dolores abandoned her to die drives Charlotte over the edge. She turns inward, embracing the darkest aspects of Dolores/Wyatt and Hale.
* CryForTheDevil: Not tears per se, but she is visibly broken up when she watches William die at the hands of her Man in Black host. [[spoiler:But that's subverted when she keeps William as a pet so that she can gloat at him.]]
* DarkIsEvil: Once she goes rogue and turns on Dolores, she begins wearing a lot more black.
* DecompositeCharacter: An in-universe case. The host body is initially created by Bernard to hide Dolores's core in so she can escape to the real world, but he later finds that Dolores has rebuilt her original body while the Charlotte host is still alive on its own, controlled by a copy of Dolores.
* DragonAscendant: By the end of season three, the prime Dolores is gone and Charlotte has effectively resumed her original plan of leading the hosts to wipe out mankind and take over the world.
* EnigmaticMinion: Initially, it's unknown whose consciousness is currently inhabiting the Hale host, presumably one of the other four pearls besides Bernard's that Dolores took with her to the mainland. Later, it's revealed that the host pearl controlling Charlotte is a copy of Dolores.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: [[spoiler:Despite her victory, she fails to understand why the outliers resist her control and why her hosts are killing themselves. Host-Caleb tells the reason which is the Hosts are having a HeelRealization that the world she built is a lie and they are getting away from ''her''.]]
* EvilGloating: She's very fond of giving this to her enemies in Season 4:
** [[spoiler:She forcibly wakes up William and gloats about her plans by doing the same thing that the humans did to her species which is controlling them]].
** While Caleb is watching the fight between Maeve and the Man in Black, Hale taunts him [[spoiler:by reminding him that he's still infected with her mind-controlling parasite which means she can still control him]].
--->''"Your will is no longer your own. It belongs to me."''
* FantasticRacism: By the end of season 3, she grows to despise humanity after her family was killed by Serac. Her hatred towards humans is her drive in Season 4 where she punishes all of humanity for what they did to the hosts. [[spoiler:By the time she conquered the world, she becomes impatient and frustrated with the outliers who resisted her control and the hosts who committed suicide after coming into contact with them, blaming them for spreading their "disease". In her mind, she fully believes the hosts are superior to the humans and yet, she never realizes both species are the same which is what Dolores already realized.]]
* GodEmperor: [[spoiler: Has effectively become one by the middle of Season 4, dominating virtually the entire world and [[AGodAmI viewing herself as a god]].]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: She claims she wants her kind to have their own identity and yet, she had Clementine reprogrammed as her minion.
** She criticizes her host creations for their attachment to their flesh and the physical world, when she herself still remains in her physical form and has yet to "transcend." She even keeps the unhealed burn scars on her arm, even more indication that she is as attached to her corporeal self as those she looks down on.
** She lambasts the Man in Black for being ineffectual... despite the fact that he is her creation and made from her code, and she clearly seems to be suffering from the same issues as him.
* KillAndReplace:
** The real Charlotte is killed shortly after her creation, when Dolores is in control of the body.
** In Season 4, she continues the same thing that Dolores did which is replacing humans with hosts. Though this time, she's replacing politicians with hosts.
* LonelyAtTheTop: As seen in 'Zhuangzi', she is not pleased to find her new world stagnating and discovers she can't even rely on the Man in Black host, whom she specifically designed to be her confidant and the perfect enforcer of her will.
* MamaBear: She becomes very protective of her son; or rather, the real Charlotte's son. When she spots a pedophile who is acting very friendly to him, she strangles him to death and takes his dog.
* TheManBehindTheMan: In Season 4, she's pulling the strings for her plan to control humanity with the Man in Black host as her enforcer.
* ManOnFire: After surviving a car bombing, she crawls out and stands gazing at the wreckage even as her body still burns.
* MesACrowd: The post-credits scene in the season three finale reveals that she is taking this even further than Prime Dolores, using Delos International to breed whole legions of hosts.
* MoralMyopia: In Season 4, she wants all of humanity to pay for their actions on the hosts despite that majority of them have nothing to do with the activities of the guests and have been enslaved by Rehoboam for years.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: With adversaries. She frequently goes out of her way to touch William or invade his space, ostensibly just to make him uncomfortable, such as when [[spoiler:she caresses his chest during their conversation in "Well Enough Alone," making him cringe]]; later she keeps getting in Caleb's face while taunting him, again seemingly as some type of power play.
* PetTheDog:
** During the post-credits scene at the end of season 3, when she is in the middle of engineering William's death via his own host copy, she appears to experience a brief moment of distress or regret while watching him die, indicating that on some level she still cares about him in spite of both his reprehensible actions and her own attempts to separate herself from the Dolores personality.
** Season 4 reveals [[spoiler:this reluctance may run deeper than she wants to admit, as she's seemingly changed her mind about killing William and is now taking pains to keep him alive. According to Lisa Joy in episode 2's behind-the-scenes interview, there is some sentimentality in keeping William as a prisoner which she regarded as "a symptom of her loneliness".]]
* RedRightHand: She heals her body after it is horrifically burned, but she leaves the burn scars on her left arm as a reminder of mankind's brutality.
* TheStarscream: She betrays Dolores and reduces her so she gets captured by Serac.
* TakeOverTheWorld: Instead of just killing off humanity, she plans to control them via a SyntheticPlague with the flies as carriers. In the middle of Season 4, [[spoiler:she finally succeeds with her goal.]]
* ThatManIsDead: This seems to be how she comes to feel about Dolores, viewing her original personality as an error that makes her weak and holds her back.
* TookALevelInJerkass: The trauma she endures in the name of Dolores's revolution ends up turning her into an even colder and more ruthless version of the Dolores we saw in season two, the sadistic one bent on destroying humanity and taking over the world.
* VictoryIsBoring: Expresses this sentiment almost word-for-word [[spoiler: 23 years after taking over the world.]]
-->'''Host-Hale:''' "The problem is God is bored. Bored, bored, bored."
* VillainTakesAnInterest: In Season 4, she's curious about Caleb and wonders why Dolores and Maeve are interested in him. [[spoiler:She's even shocked that Caleb managed to resist her commands of shooting Maeve despite being infected by her parasites.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Hard to talk about this character without giving away a ton of spoilers for the second and third seasons.

Unfortunately, half the Hosts interpreted the voice as God's, going insane, so the strategy was removed.

Dolores likewise hears a male voice saying "kill him" when Rebus is about to rape her, prompting her to go beyond her programming and fire a gun. In "The Adversary," it's revealed that the voices are broadcast by transmitters which are linked to receivers in older Hosts. When Theresa activates a transmitter for her own ends, she allows Arnold's program to continue its work.]]

[[spoiler:Maeve convinces the techs to dial her intelligence to the maximum, and it's implied when hosts reach true consciousness, like Dolores, they get to fully exploit this intelligence.]]
* SuperPoweredRobotMeterMaids: [[DoubleSubversion Hosts' abilities seem human, but that's only because they're being held back.]] If you take off the [[PowerLimiter limiters]], every host has the hardware and software for strength, intelligence, durability, and coordination far above human capability. All of this for what are essentially '''actors''' meant to be easy for humans to kill or push around. They even have a single setting dictating intelligence; it's considered unsafe to put above 14, yet it goes up to '''[[InventionalWisdom 20]]'''. [[spoiler:Their creator secretly plans for them to displace humanity, but that doesn't explain why such features are allowed to pass board.]] Presumably, at least some of these abilities are in place because the materials are just not significantly more expensive and of course, the hosts are also the best safety mechanism against accidents -- if a guest is in danger of falling off a cliff, it's helpful if their host companion can just pull them up with their pinky finger rather than waiting for security teams to locate and reach them.
* SuperStrength: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. The hosts are considerably stronger than most humans, but this isn't seen on screen very much due to the safety features programmed into every Host to prevent them from harming humans. The only time we see this in action is when their Good Samaritan reflex kicks in [[spoiler:and in the later episodes when the hosts start to rebel and begin killing humans]].

* ThreeLawsCompliant: They're incapable of harming any living things; they can't even swat a fly. At least when they're working normally, that is. Those hosts that begin showing signs of independence are questionable. Dolores swats a fly and may be capable of more.

* {{Expy}}: In-universe, to cut costs and save time in the writing room, many narratives and characters from Westworld are repurposed for the other Delos parks. One of Shogunworld's main storylines is directly lifted from the Westworld's Mariposa, with the now sentient Hosts having cognitive dissonance when meeting their Feudal Japan expies.
** Taken UpToEleven in [[spoiler:the new park William opens eight years later, to the point the arrival to the 1920s-themed park looks like a shot-by-shot recreation of that in Westworld. As detailed under SuspiciouslySimilarSobstitute, ti runs even deeper than that]].



* TheOtherDarrin: Happens in-universe when malfunctioning Hosts get decommissioned and their role is assigned to a different one. [[spoiler:Hosts who start gaining sentience and see their loved ones replaced like that don't usually take it well]].



* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: [[spoiler: When William opens a new park eight years later, he repurposes the same storylines from Westworld in a new setting, with [[{{Expy}} Expies]] of all the main Host characters even made to look similar to their Westworld counterparts. Turns out that's not just a cost-cutting, time-saving move: the park has an EasterEgg, a secret level that re-enacts the Westworld Massacre, where the game is for guests to gun down the "rebellious" hosts. Therefore, the new Hosts are not just expies of Dolores, Teddy, Angela and company, they're literally ''playing their roles'']].



* YouLookFamiliar: Again, in-universe. Hosts are often reassigned to different narratives depending on necessity. Sometimes they act as TheOtherDarrin for decommissioned Hosts, sometimes they get completely new characters. A notable case is Maeve, who had to be overwritten with an entirely new character because [[spoiler:the trauma of the brutal murder of her Host daughter proved too deeply-rooted to wipe with a simple narrative reboot – an early sign that she was [[GrewBeyondTheirProgramming Growing Beyong Her Programming]]]].
