* CompleteMonster: [[spoiler:[[BigBad Ulrik Strange]], initially appearing to be Sarah Lund's loyal ally and LoveInterest, is a brutal war criminal determined to bury his crimes. Whilst stationed in Afghanistan, Strange located a family accused of helping the Taliban and goaded [[ShellShockedVeteran Raben]], the leader of a squad sent to help him, into [[WouldHurtAChild shooting one of the children]], before executing the rest himself. Later becoming a [[DirtyCop police detective]], Strange decides to murder the entire squad after realizing he is being investigated. Visiting the home of a lawyer looking into his case, Strange stabs her over 21 times, before dumping her in a memorial park and framing it to look like the work of a terrorist. Locating two other members of the squad, Strange kills one with his own dog tag and has the other [[CruelAndUnusualDeath necklaced]], sadistically using the man's own mobile phone to spark the fire. When Raben escapes and goes to his former comrade Lisbeth Thomsen, Strange steals explosives from an army barracks and blows up Thomsen on her boat. After he and Lund corner Raben, Strange attempts to shoot him dead under the pretence that Raben wouldn't lower his weapon. Strange [[FrameUp then plants evidence]] to frame a soldier called Bilal, which causes the man to snap and [[DrivenToSuicide kill himself]] after abducting Raben's wife. When Lund correctly deduces that Strange was the culprit, Strange coldly guns her down before beating the traumatized Raben and attempting to kill him too.]]

** Troels has his moments, too. He's introduced to the audience ''crying at his wife's grave'' and then it gets worse, often in a way that [[YankTheDogsChain yanks the dog's chain.]] Really this applies to almost any major character who doesn't turn out to be an actual murderer.
