* KissMeImVirtual: Sylvester has a lucrative sideline pimping the hosts to the techs by hacking their programs and wiping all traces afterwards. As it's NotSoDifferent from her own profession, Maeve doesn't take offense, but finds it useful blackmail material.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: After escaping Wyatt's posse it's unknown what happens to her. Presumably as a guest she was protected by the park's various safety features. Though if she's still in the park after Ford initiates the RobotWar and alters the park's protocols so humans can be harmed, she's going to have a hell of a time trying to get out. Season 2 doesn't reveal her fate.

* PetTheDog: He's not particularly nice to Felix, but does seem to protect him in his own way. When Maeve wakes up, Felix doesn't report it despite genuinely believing that it was Felix's error. This may just be Sylvester being worried about possible repercussions on his end, but when he finds that Lutz has stolen a bird host, he gives him a genuine if brusque warning instead of reporting him.

[[folder:Felix]]
!!Felix Lutz
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lutz_felix.jpg]]
->'''Portrayed By:''' Leonardo Nam

A tech who, along with his colleague Sylvester, fixes up Hosts who have been killed or injured and sends them back out.
----
* AsianAndNerdy: He's portrayed by an actor of Asian descent and, after Bernard, is probably the staff member most interested in the science behind the hosts.
* TheBusCameBack: After a two-episode absence, he returns in "Virtu e Fortuna".
* ExtremeDoormat: He's very meek and easily dominated by stronger personalities like Sylvester and Maeve.
* TheFarmerAndTheViper: When Felix has Maeve at his mercy, he refuses Sylvester's plan to erase her data [[AndroidsArePeopleToo because he sees her as a person]]. She proceeds to [[HeWhoFightsMonsters torment numerous Hosts to test her powers]], cause the deaths of dozens of humans, [[NoHonorAmongThieves and betray even the Hosts recruited to her side]]. However Maeve does nothing to harm Felix himself, appreciating that his empathy makes him better than the other humans she's encountered.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: He trusts and follows every word of Maeve to a point beyond reason, even when Maeve reminds him that she had him reprogram her to be less trustworthy.
* InterchangeableAsianCultures:
** Sylvester accuses him of having a {{Hentai}} obsession at one point because of his interest in Maeve. However, Hentai is ''Japanese'', not Chinese, making the statement come across as casually racist.
** When Maeve is unable to command the Shogun World hosts due to their malfunctioning multi-linguistic mechanism where they can only understand Japanese, Sylvester suggests Felix if he could talk to them. Felix is very offended with this suggestion, and unlike the previous example, he calls Sylvester out on it:
--->'''Sylvester''': Can't you just say something to them...?
--->'''Felix''': I'm from Hong Kong, you asshole!
* NiceGuy: Extremely so.
* TheQuisling: He assists Maeve with escaping the park even after he clearly realizes what is happening and knowing that Maeve considers humans lesser beings.
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Sylvester; they work together, but they're not exactly friends.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Felix is one of the few lowly employees who doesn't act like a jerk/rapist, and he grows more invested in helping Maeve. This may have been by design. Delos's selection criteria during recruitment are supposed to weed people like he (i.e. those with normally functioning empathy) from the workforce, ASAP. Ford may have "let" a careful number through the net in specific workstations for his own reasons.
* TomatoInTheMirror: Parodied when he learns Bernard is a Host and starts looking at his own hands in horror. Maeve is quick to assure him that he's ''not'' one.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Sylvester and Felix cover up Maeve's sudden wake up on the operating table out of fear of losing their jobs. Felix insists he wasn't responsible, but doesn't push the issue. When Maeve pulls this trick again, she's alone with Felix and ''much'' more aware of her situation than she was the last time. Subverted by the fact that Maeve's awakening was engineered by an outside party. He was just a [[UnwittingPawn pawn]].
* YouAreACreditToYourRace: As Maeve leaves the elevator to get on the train out of the park, she says that Felix really is a "terrible human." Note that her view of humanity is as a bunch of violent oppressors, so this comes off as a veiled compliment.
* YouSaidYouWouldLetThemGo: Almost word-for-word when Maeve non-fatally slices Sylvester's throat, after a crucial reconfiguration which he only agreed upon after being promised that Maeve "wouldn't hurt anyone", much to his horror. Granted, Sylvester had it coming and she didn't kill him, but it wasn't the last death she would cause.

[[folder:Sylvester]]
!!Sylvester
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sylvester_the_adversary.jpg]]
->'''Portrayed By:''' Ptolemy Slocum

-->'''Armistice:''' This one has a guilty look.
-->'''Sylvester:''' No, that's just my face. Tell her, it's just my face!

A tech who, along with his colleague Lutz, fixes up Hosts who have been killed or injured and sends them back out.
----
* AssholeVictim: Sylvester gets put through the ringer by Maeve and Armistice, but considering how vile he is, it's hard to feel too sorry for him.
* BeardOfEvil: He turns out to be worse than just an odious jerk, he's straight-up evil: he has an illegal side business in pimping out unconscious hosts to his colleagues.
* TheBusCameBack: After a two-episode absence, he returns in "Virtu e Fortuna".
* ButtMonkey: From the moment Maeve wakes up, Sylvester's life takes a turn for the horrifying. He's caught between a rock and a hard place, gets threatened over and over, has his throat cut by Maeve (which almost kills him), is almost killed by Armistice, and is abandoned in the midst of the host rebellion. [[spoiler:Season 2 shows that he has not fared much better off-screen; whereas Lutz doesn't seem to be in much immediate danger, Armistice had placed a live grenade between his chin and neck and only removes it safely when Maeve arrives. Then it's right back to being threatened into complicity.]] He arguably deserves every second.
* DirtyCoward: He works with Maeve entirely out of fear, and is happy enough to beg for his life.
* {{Jerkass}}: Sylvester is a very hard person to like. Even ignoring his side business in pimping out unconscious hosts to fellow techs, he's personally an overbearing, unpleasant and plain obnoxious man.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Sylvester may be crass, but Lutz's fiddling with a host bird's code to figure out how it works is bound to get him in trouble. Especially considering he's working for Delos, who have strict contracts against the smuggling of data out of their park. He is even more right about Maeve needing to be shut down before she will start hurting guests and staff, the first ending up being himself.
* KissMeIAmVirtual: Sylvester has a lucrative sideline pimping the hosts to the techs by hacking their programs and wiping all traces afterwards. As it's NotSoDifferent from her own profession, Maeve doesn't take offense, but finds it useful blackmail material.
* OhCrap: He has several of these moments, in particular lobotomizing Clementine in front of Maeve followed by Maeve's threat to kill him.
* OnlySaneMan: In comparison to Felix, Sylvester is the only person who believes that boosting Maeve's abilities is ''an incredibly bad idea''. He's 100% right.
* PetTheDog: He's not particularly nice to Felix, but does seem to protect him in his own way. When Maeve wakes up, Felix doesn't report it despite genuinely believing that it was Felix's error. This may just be Sylvester being worried about possible repercussions on his end, but when he finds that Lutz has stolen a bird host, he gives him a genuine if brusque warning instead of reporting him.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: When he finds Felix with a dressed Maeve, he snidely asks if it's something to do with hentai.
* SlashedThroat: He gets one courtesy of Maeve, though lucky for him he happened to be in just the right place for it to be sealed before he could bleed out.
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Felix; they work together and they're rarely seen apart, but they're not exactly friends. Sylvester is yet to share a scene without Lutz.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Sylvester and Lutz cover up Maeve's sudden wake up on the operating table out of fear of losing their jobs. In Sylvester's case, he just assumes Felix forgot to put her under properly despite Lutz's insistence. Rather than even entertain the possibility that Lutz is right, he tries to ignore the whole thing. When Maeve pulls this trick again, she's alone with Felix and ''much'' more aware of her situation than she was the last time. Like Felix, this is subverted by the fact that Maeve's awakening was engineered by an outside party and while they were unwilling, it was going to happen anyway.

[[folder:Destin]]
!!Destin Levy
->'''Portrayed By:''' Christopher Gerse

Another tech in the body shop, responsible for disposal.
----
* BiTheWay: His first (visible) victim of DudeShesLikeInAComa couldn't be seen, but his second attempt at a good time was with Hector.
* CovertPervert: He seems normal enough, but he's been raping Hosts in sleep mode. In the context Destin is working in, "sleep mode" means "dead".
* DudeShesLikeInAComa: Elsie blackmails him by revealing that she knows he has sex with inactive Hosts.
* KarmicDeath: Hector kills him right after Destin tried to rape him.
* OhCrap: Destin's face is a study in this trope when Elsie casually hands him her tablet, which is playing a video of his... "extracurricular activities" with a Host that's in sleep mode.

[[folder:Phil]]
!!Phil
->'''Portrayed By:''' Patrick Cage

Another body shop tech stationed at the Sector 19 Remote Refurbishment Facility.
----
* ButtMonkey: Absolutely ''nothing'' goes right for this guy and his existence from his first moment of screen time is misery.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Let's see... we've got robots who dress like white Americans circa the Civil War forcing a black American to do their bidding under the constant fear of death if he falls out of line and keeping him bound. [[MadeASlave Huh.]]
* LeaveBehindAPistol: [[spoiler:Teddy leaves him a gun with a single bullet after trapping him on the train, calling it his "last act of mercy".]]
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He's just a tech that Dolores has kidnapped for her larger plans. Yet it's his technical expertise that allow Dolores to [[spoiler:force Teddy to follow her murderous orders]].
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:Dolores has Teddy trap him on a doomed train car after she's finished using him.]]

[[folder:Roland]]
!!Roland
->'''Portrayed By:''' Aaron Fili

-->''"Remember, there is no pleasure without pain."''

A livestock technician.
----
* BeardOfEvil: He has a light beard and zero empathy for the Hosts.
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:The Hosts he forced to butcher one another resurrect and cut open his neck with the little saw machine he was about to use on Maeve.]]
* LackOfEmpathy: Roland seems unable to even conceive of the Hosts as living things, viewing them solely as machines to be pulled apart, repaired, reprogrammed or disposed of.
* {{Sadist}}: [[spoiler:He's revealed to be one when he amps up the pain receptors for Maeve as preparation for her destruction. He explains that there can be no pleasure without pain.]]
[[/folder]]

!!!Guests

[[folder:In General]]
!!Westworld Guests

The various guests who come to Westworld, paying top dollar to experience the wild west and all its pleasures.
----
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Fitting the Western theme, "white hats" are there to save the day while "black hats" are there to pillage and cause damage.
* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: Most of the guests abuse and kill Hosts at their leisure. That said, some go out of their way to show basic decency and politeness to the Hosts.
* IdleRich: A single day at the park, for one guest, costs $40,000.
* ObliviouslyEvil: The guests have been told that the hosts are merely robots who can't actually feel pain or suffering but merely simulate the appearance of a human having these emotions.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Enforced and ''encouraged'' by the staff. The whole point of the park is to let guests have free reign to do what they want. To quote the Westworld website itself, "there's no rule in Westworld that can't be broken".
* SecretlyWealthy: Played with. Within the park, the guests often come off as excitable tourists. Logan (and William) turns out to work for a corporation interested in raising stock with Delos, William married into Logan's rich family and became Delos's heir.

[[folder:Craig & Lori]]
!!Craig & Lori
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ep01_ss04_1920.jpg]]
->'''Portrayed By:''' Currie Graham & Lena Georgas

A whitebread guest couple.
----
* TheBusCameBack: They disappear after the first episode of Season 1, but as it turns out, they've been continuing their vacation in Westworld all the way up to the Host rebellion.
* HenpeckedHusband: Craig tends to look to Lori for approval before embarking on one of Westworld's adventures. After the rebellion, she can't help nagging him about the trouble his wanting to play cowboy has gotten them in.
* LackOfEmpathy: While they're no different from anyone else who views the Hosts as glorified toys, it's still creepy to see Craig gleefully pump Hector full of bullets and Lori make fun of Armistice's dying twitching and convulsions before both he and Lori get a photo taken with Hector's dead body...all while Dolores cries over Teddy's corpse a few feet away.
* ManChild: Craig is pretty childish and clueless, to the point of it actually being a little endearing.
* NotSoAboveItAll: For much of their screen time, Lori acts snooty and impatient, as if she wishes she wasn't in Westworld at all. However, it seems she's taken in more than she realizes, and joyously celebrates Craig's victory over Hector.
* UglyGuyHotWife: Lori is noticeably younger and more attractive than Craig.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: They are last seen [[spoiler:in the custody of the Ghost Nation. Based on the fact that they were not killing guests, it's likely they survived and were evacuated in the Season 2 finale.]]

[[folder:Marti]]
!!Marti
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/marti.jpg]]
->'''Portrayed By:''' Bojana Novakovic

A guest who participates of some of the more adventurous story lines.
----
* ActionGirl: All the story lines she participates in involve gunfights and shootouts with outlaws.
* AtomicFBomb: She let's out a pretty epic one when she realizes she's in way over her head in the Wyatt narrative:
--> '''Marti''': ''OH MY '''FUCKING GOD!'''''
* LipstickLesbian: She's conventionally attractive and finds herself instantly drawn in by Clementine's wiles.
* NiceGirl: By the standards of the guests in any event. She does seem to like her gunfights, but she appears to be going "white hat" and fights alongside the sheriff and Teddy, and in general treats the hosts with some basic decency.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: After escaping Wyatt's posse it's unknown what happens to her. Presumably as a guest she was protected by the park's various safety features. Though if she's still in the park after Ford initiates the RobotWar and alters the park's protocols so humans can be harmed, she's going to have a hell of a time trying to get out. Season 2 doesn't reveal her fate.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"Maybe I miss taking my chances."'']]
->'''Portrayed By:''' Neil Jackson

A guest of The Raj, Nicholas is intrigued by Emily, who’s purpose at the British Colonial India-themed destination runs deeper than hunting game.
----
* TheCharmer: It doesn't take him long to seduce Grace.
* DecoyProtagonist: [[spoiler:He opens an episode and we spend a little time getting to know him, but then he's swiftly killed by a rampaging host.]]
* GreatWhiteHunter: He goes to Rajworld to hunt Bengal tigers and act like a gentleman adventurer.
* ImpostorExposingTest: Grace subjects him to one of these, which he passes. And by that, we mean "she shoots him and he doesn't bleed out on the floor".
* WeHardlyKnewYe: [[spoiler:Despite being set up as a new main character, he's quickly caught off-guard and killed during the host rebellion.]]
