24	----
25	* AGodAmI: Shows shades of this during her "crocodile at the watering hole" monologue. [[spoiler:She plans to steal the launch codes for Russia's nukes, along with a nuclear submarine. This would cement her as a new nuclear superpower, and make the nations of the world fear her judgement.]]
26	* ArchEnemy: To Dom and his family.
27	* AxCrazy: She may not do it physically, (until ''Fast X'' that is), but she is definitely the epitome of this.
28	* BadassBookworm: It turns out that Cipher is skilled martial artist who can take down a dozen men ''twice'' her size with her bare hands if they do not have the advantage of firearms. Made worse by the fact that her sociopathy allows her to resort to savage and vicious tricks like biting, tearing and ''eye-gouging'' that ''actual'' human beings would wince and hesitate to use ''without hesitation.''
29	* BerserkButton: Being spoken down to. Not being in control.
30	* BigBad: Of ''The Fate and the Furious''.
31	* BigBadDuumvirate: Ostensibly with Otto, after the latter betrays Jakob, in ''[=F9=]''. However, since Otto is a BigBadWannabe, Cipher is clearly the dominant figure.
32	* TheBully: She clearly gains a high from watching people emotionally crumble from being forced to sell out their family, principles and humanity on her command.
33	* BroughtDownToBadass: [[spoiler: Even though Cipher loses her resources and subordinates to Dante, she still has her cunning and reveals herself be a very competent fighter who has taken out her former soldiers]].
34	* CapturedSuperEntity: In a way. Upon capturing her from Mr. Nobody, Jakob forces her to work with a primitive computer inside a glass cage, because he knows full well that she will royally screw everyone if allowed to roam free and access a device with an internet. [[spoiler:Proven right when Otto deliberately sets her free, as she immediately takes over the Project Aries operation.]]
35	* ColdHam: In ''F9''. She manages to devour scenery by the truckload without ever raising her voice.
36	* ControlFreak: Revels in controlling others as shown when taking a sadistic glee in getting Dom to do her dirty work, [[spoiler: with her ultimate endgame being to take control of a nuclear sub and pretty much hold the world hostage. When Dom is no longer under her sway, it's becomes major a BerserkButton when he talks down to her.]]
37	* CorneredRattlesnake: Cipher usually prefers to let others do her dirty work while she watches from afar, but if there is a situation that requires her to take action, like [[spoiler:Dante taking away all of her resources and men]], Cipher is more than capable of getting her own hands dirty, being an extremely capable combatant of her own right.
38	* TheCorrupter: She manipulates and drives heroes like Dom [[spoiler: and both Shaw Brothers]] into villainy.
39	* TheCracker: A Master Hackette who is described by Mr. Nobody as some sort of a computer goddess, who easily beats Ramsey at her own game ''twice'', [[spoiler:the first time when she fakes Dom's location when Ramsey uses the God's Eye to track him, and when Ramsey comes up with a countermeasure to that, she traces the signal back to Mr. Nobody's base and assaults it to take God's Eye herself. The second time when she battles Ramsey for the nuclear submarine's control and wins while also simultaneously locks down the submarine when Tej, Roman and Little Nobody attempts to remove the nuclear launch command chip directly from the submarine itself. She also has a team of master hackers who controls the digital world like nobody's business, as demonstrated when they take control of ''hundreds of cars in New York City and weaponize them to attack the Russian Ambassador's convoy.'']]
40	* CrazyPrepared: In ''Fast X'', when [[spoiler:Dante turned most of her men against her with blackmail, she revealed that she had a jammer on her that would disable all their weapons long enough for her to take out most of them with her bare hands before the jammer was destroyed]].
41	* DarkActionGirl: A sultry Metallica shirt, leather jacket, black nail polish, and long twirled-hair wearing anarchist/terrorist.
42	* DiabolicalMastermind: She is an absolute genius with a megalomaniac scheme to [[spoiler:become a nuclear power all on her own.]] Unlike all the previous villains in the franchise, who had either money or revenge as their motivation, Cipher is the only one with ambitions on a ''global'' scale.
43	* EnemyMine: Cipher is forced to work with Dom and his crew when [[spoiler: Dante takes all of her resources and men before trying to kill her]].
44	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Despite her many flaws, Cipher isn't without standards as she was disgusted with Dante's motives and saw him as far worse than her. Also, Cipher found the Agency a sick place because she was disturbed that they would fix things before breaking them.
45	* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Mocks Dom for refusing to humiliate the loser of a drag race by taking his prized car in spite of him conspiring to kill Dom to win the race, taking his respect instead. Cipher sneered that he had no "obligation" to be so noble; but it is ''precisely'' because of Dom's ability to turn the other cheek and let bygones be bygones that allows him to [[spoiler: earn the friendships and/or respect of said drag racer and even the Shaw Brothers, who turned out to be the trump cards in stopping Cipher's genocidal plans in ''Furious 8''.]]
46	* EvilIsPetty: She may be a brilliant mastermind when it comes to recruiting mercenaries and utilizing nuclear weapons but she's a vindictive bitch to the core when she noticed Dom wouldn't kill Letty as part of her request for his mission working for her so as punishment: [[spoiler:she has Elena killed right in front of Dom and his baby son to spite him for it.]]
47	* EvilSoundsDeep: Charlize Theron's breathy alto certainly fits this trope.
48	* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: An absolute heartless monster of a person, but played by Creator/CharlizeTheron.
49	* FatalFlaw: Pride and LackOfEmpathy, she knows full well how to use her skills and how to manipulate people to do her bidding through words or blackmail. But this blinds her heavily to not covering all her angles, allowing her to be countered once things start going sideways because she's not good at adjusting on the fly, especially when she rely on certain linchpins in her plan to keep it together (Dom in the eighth film, Jakob in the ninth). Likewise since she scoffs at family and friends thinking them a weakness to exploit, she'll readily throw anyone who works for her under the bus. This leaves her with virtually no one to cover her back if all her defenses are taken out, making her vulnerable once her enemies get face-to-face with her.
50	* FauxAffablyEvil: She seems calm, collected and approachable, but is quick to shed this mask whenever she can't have her way.
51	* ForTheEvulz: While she likes to gives out pseudo-philosophical speeches to justify her actions, it's very clear she does most of the horrible stuff she does because she enjoys it. Best exemplified by her kissing Dom right in front of Letty simply for no other reason than to break Letty's heart.
52	* GreaterScopeVillain: Of the entire '' The Fast and the Furious'' series, especially the third, fourth, sixth, seventh, and ninth movies, as she was the one who employed [[spoiler:Owen Shaw [[note]] which led to his confrontations with Dom, leading to his coma, causing his brother to seek vengeance starting by killing Han in Tokyo[[/note]](and by extension Arturo Braga) and Mose Jakande to steal the Nightshade device and acquire the God's Eye]], respectively. [[spoiler:''F9'' sees her begrudgingly provide Otto and Jakob with the resources they need to find and activate Project Aries, and after she manipulates Otto into betraying Jakob, Cipher partners up with Otto in a BigBadDuumvirate.]]
53	* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: If her story arc in ''Fast X'' is any indication, she appears to be heading toward redemption]].
54	* HijackedByGanon: ''F9'' has Otto as the main villain with Jakob working under him. [[spoiler: Then Otto reveals towards the end that he released Cipher from prison and turns on Jakob, and Cipher joins up with Otto in a short-lived BigBadDuumvirate.]]
55	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler: Her plans are ultimately foiled when, in her frustration to kill Dom in the climax, she shoots a heat seeking missile at him. Dom quickly uses it to his advantage by using his car to redirect it at the Russian sub she hacked, destroying it.]]
56	* HollywoodHacking: She does this ''in spades'' throughout the film. Special mention goes to the climax where she uses this to [[spoiler:hijack ''a nuclear submarine!'']]
57	* {{Hypocrite}}: Constantly spouts her philosophy that life is about freedom to do whatever you want when you want, yet takes pleasure in robbing the freedom to choose from others.
58	* ItAmusedMe: Her ultimate motivation; "Nothing is necessary, there is only choice." In other words, if it looks amusing, or even mildly interesting, she'll do it just to satisfy her curiosity and boredom, no matter how cruel or monstrous it may be; from causing city-wide car-crashes that potentially can kill thousands, murdering mothers in front of their babies, or randomly firing thermonuclear weapons just to prove her absolute power.
59	* ItsAllAboutMe: In ''Fast X'', when Dante shouts at her band to do exactly as he says if they value the person they love the most, Cipher almost yawns "The person I love the most? You're looking at her," bored by the seeming stupidity of him threatening a known sociopath who loves nobody. Unfortunately for her, Dante was addressing ''her men'', ''actual'' human beings whose loved ones are now held at knife-point. Owing no loyalty to a monster who regards them as less than tools, the mercenaries turn on her in a heartbeat.
60	* JokerImmunity: [[spoiler:Holds the distinction of being the first ''Fast & Furious'' villain to escape justice. Twice!]]
61	* KarmaHoudini:
62	** [[spoiler:Escapes by parachute before Deckard can kill her, though at best her plan and organization are in shambles and another confrontation will be likely.]]
63	** [[spoiler: She once again leaves the ninth movie unscathed after Dom shoots down her plane.]]
64	* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: [[spoiler:After escaping justice in ''Fate'' and ''F9'', ''Fast X'' has her see her entire operation usurped by Dante, with a bullet to her gut on her way out and an incarceration to Antarctica after.]]
65	* KnightOfCerebus: Easily the greatest threat Dom and his family has faced. [[spoiler:As of ''Fast X'', however, she later loses this status to Dante.]]
66	* LackOfEmpathy: Cheerfully refers to bonds of familial love as chemical responses for species preservation, and with smug pride candidly admits her lack of respect for such emotions allows her to play ''actual'' human beings like puppets. This comes back to haunt her in a ''big'' way during ''Fast X'' when Dante cheerfully waltzes into her headquarters and threatens her subordinates to work for him instead by holding all their loved ones hostage (killing the one man who "dosen't even have a cat"); having ''no'' actual respect or loyalty to a BadBoss (who dosen't trust them either in return), they turned on her in a heartbeat.
67	* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: In ''F9'', after Dom manages to capture Jakob alive, she tells a frustrated Otto that "if this was a movie right now, ThisIsThePartWhere the villain suffers a minor setback".
68	* MaskOfSanity: She waxes on about her actions in pseudo-philosophical debates to try and excuse them and appears calm and controlled but it's glaringly obvious underneath it all she's an [[AxCrazy insane]] [[TheSociopath psychopath]] with a [[AGodAmI God-complex]] who wouldn't shy away from the mass murder of thousands or God forbid, likely put entire countries to the nuclear torch for [[ForTheEvulz a few cheap laughs and a good stroke of her ego.]]
69	* NiceJobFixingItVillain:
70	** [[spoiler:Allowing Rhodes to kill Elena to spite Dom cut the number of hostages she held over Dom's head right down in half. At no point did she ever consider this would backfire.]]
71	** [[spoiler: In ''[=F9=]'', convincing Otto to turn on Jakob utterly backfires as not only do the Crew save him, but he proves instrumental in flipping the transport to allow them to get inside and stop the upload. Plus robbed her of a useful subordinate in Jakob and cost her another in Otto when she tried to kill Dom directly via a drone, only to hit Otto instead.]]
72	* NonActionBigBad: Cipher usually has people to handle all the fighting for her while she focuses on coming up with diabolical plans. [[spoiler:{{Subverted}} in ''X'', where she’s more than capable of fighting people on her own, though by then she loses her BigBad status to Dante]].
73	* OffscreenKarma: In ''Film/{{F9}}'', it's revealed that sometime between the events of the eighth and ninth movie, she was captured by Mr. Nobody. Obviously, it doesn't stick, and she was immediately broken out by the time the events of the ninth movie occur.
74	* OhCrap:
75	** [[spoiler: Once it's made known that Deckard has saved Dom's son, she quickly realizes that she no longer as any hold on Dom, meaning he, his family, and the Shaw Brothers are now all free to come gunning for her for all the crap she's put them through. As Dom put best: "You just took your foot off the tiger's neck."]]
76	** This is followed shortly after when Dom [[spoiler: uses a heat seeking missile she shot at him to redirect it into the Russian sub she took control of. She quickly realizes her folly but by then it far too late to try and counter it.]]
77	** [[spoiler: In ''[=F9=]'', she takes over Otto's drone and flies it to the transport which Dom is on, firing missiles on it. At first she thinks she's got him, only to realize he steered it in a way that the truck will flip right into her drone's path. She lets out a ''Shit!" right before it hits.]]
78	* PetTheDog: [[spoiler: In ''Fast X'', despite their well justified rivalry, she willingly helps Letty escape from prison in Antartica, going as far as offering her a jacket before they head out into the cold.]]
79	* PowerHair: Her hair is drastically short in ''[=F9=]''.
80	* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: In ''F9'', she wears a red, leather jumpsuit with matching high heels and a black tanktop.
81	* TheSociopath: Coldly charming on a superficial level, Cipher confesses a complete detachment from human feeling, refusing to acknowledge love itself above the level of evolutionary function and hormonal responses '''and''' uses said emotion to drive heroes into villainy. She is perfectly indifferent to threatening children with murder to force obedience from their parents, justifying her monstrosity with pretenses of Utopian aspirations. Her impulse control is nonexistent as her ego is huge. The only emotions she is capable of feeling are cold satisfaction from watching decent people crumble under her tyranny, and animalistic rage when things do not go her way.
82	* SoftSpokenSadist: Speaks in a constantly breathy voice even when threatening somebody's life.
83	* UnderestimatingBadassery: Zigged-zagged. She knows Dom is formidable [[spoiler:due to him taking down Owen and Jakande, two men that were in her employ]]. So rather then try and confront him, she manipulates him into working for her [[spoiler: via holding his former lover and son hostage]]. It does nearly work for the most part, but as she got closer to her goal, Cipher got too cocky near the endgame [[spoiler:that she didn't realize Dom had set a plan in motion to have his son saved by Deckard and Owen while his team handled her plan. Once that leverage was taken away, she was forced to fight Dom directly. Predictably, her plan gets shot to Hell in a matter of seconds and she's left running with her tail between her legs.]]
84	* TheUnfought:
85	** In ''Fate'', she only appears to the team in person once, but they don’t face her. The team only ends up battling her submarine in the climax while Owen and Deckard [[StormingTheCastle storm her plane]]. [[spoiler: When her submarine is destroyed and her plans are ruined, [[VillainExitStageLeft she escapes when Deckard has her cornered.]]]]
86	** [[spoiler: And again in the ninth movie. She attacks the team piloting a plane, though she’s not really inside it. After the plane is destroyed, she once again escapes.]]
87	* UnknownRival: [[spoiler: Dom has been inadvertently foiling Cipher's plans for at least two movies, by stopping Owen Shaw and Mose Jakande. She hasn't taken it well. Then she directly tries to manipulate him into fulfilling her plans in their stead, only for that encounter to go south. He mocks her for underestimating him.]]
88	* VillainExitStageLeft:
89	** [[spoiler:After her plans are foiled and the Shaw brothers kill all her men and capture her plane, Cipher escapes from it by jumping with a parachute, remaining at large as the movie ends.]]
90	** [[spoiler:Pulls this off again in ''F9'' after Dom manages to shoot down her plane.]]
91	* VillainousBreakdown:
92	** [[spoiler:She loses it during the climax of ''Fate'' beginning with Ramsey setting her back one time too many. It continues even more when Deckard and Owen attack her plane, allowing Dom to kill Rhodes as well as save his son. Then she becomes increasingly irate as her attempts to kill Team Toretto repeatedly fails. She finally reaches her breaking point when Dom [[HoistByHisOwnPetard uses the heat-seeking missile that she launched against the submarine she hijacked in order to destroy it]]. To be fair to her, she manages to keep herself composed enough to escape Deckard but she clearly doesn't take the tables being turned against her well]].
93	--->'''Cipher:''' [[spoiler:Put a heat seeker on him now. ''Now!'']]
94	** [[spoiler: She gets a brief one in ''F9'' too after Dom uses the transport to take out her drone. She just ''barely'' manages to keep her cool and regains her composure, but it's obvious this second defeat at Dom's hands nearly puts her over the line.]]
95	* WickedCultured: She is knowledgeable in not just computer hacking but also history and pop culture. In ''[=F9=]'', she compares Jakob to Qasar (a younger brother of UsefulNotes/GenghisKhan, who is far less well-known despite serving as one of his best generals), and Otto to [[Franchise/StarWars Yoda]] (because he's a puppet, A.K.A. someone who is always controlled by others).
96	* TheWomanBehindTheMan: She was the employer of both [[spoiler:Owen Shaw and Mose Jakande]] in their respective movies.
97	* WouldHurtAChild: Does not even blink, much less ''hesitate'' to force [[spoiler:Dominic]] to obey each and every one of her commands by holding the life of [[spoiler:his infant son]] in her hands, and calmly orders the execution of [[spoiler:the boy's mother]] right in front of him and [[spoiler:Dominic]] for the simple act of refusing to [[spoiler:shoot Letty]].
98	* YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler:In retaliation for Dom not being able to kill Letty during the mission in New York, Cipher has Elena executed by Rhodes.]]

114	----
115	* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler:In ''7'', he's now in a coma after he survived being thrown out of the plane in the last film.]]
116	* AxCrazy: Took blood-chilling pleasure in using his car to crush civilians in his rampage across the Spanish freeway.
117	* BadBoss: Sees his crew in terms of interchangeable parts.
118	* BigBad: Of ''6''.
119	* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:Early on in the eighth film, Mr. Nobody mentions that he is currently locked up at a government black site. During the climax, it's revealed that Dom enacted a plan to allow Deckard and Magdalene Shaw to find and break Owen out of prison. Owen subsequently assists Deckard when they assault Cipher's plane during the climax]].
120	* TheChessmaster: Always one step ahead of everyone.
121	* DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler:The SUV he is in hits a barrier at the back of the cargo plane that the climax of the sixth film takes place in as the aircraft is taking off. Since he doesn't have a seat-belt on, he goes [[DestinationDefenestration flying through the front window]] and out the back of the plane, falling several hundred feet onto the runway. {{Retcon}}ned as having survived but been put in a coma in the next film, however.]]
122	* EvilBrit: Yes he is British and yes he ''is'' evil.
123	* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: [[spoiler: Shown in ''Furious 8'' to be this, just like his brother Deckard.]]
124	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Despite being a cold and cruel ex-soldier with a penchant for bloodlust, he still retains enough humanity [[spoiler: to not hurt children.]]
125	* EvilCounterpart: To Dom.
126	* EvilVirtues: Resourcefulness and efficiency.
127	* FallenHero: From the various conversations that refer to his past in ''Furious 8'', Owen is implied to have once been a hero, or maybe even a good man, until Cipher drove him into villainy and madness.
128	* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: The opening of ''7'' reveals he survived the fall from the cargo plane, but he falls into a years-long coma.]]
129	* GoodAllAlong: Downplayed. The combination of Deckard and Cipher's revelations shows that in retrospect, while callous, manipulative, and ruthless enough to give off the appearance of sociopathic evil, Owen was never entirely heartless to begin with nor TheSociopath he looked. He has a genuine familial bond with his brother and mother and seemed to have had a real affectionate relationship with [[spoiler: Riley]]. His relationship with his team was simply professional and his apathetic disregard for their deaths or failures was mostly in accordance with his code of brutal efficiency — as was his insistence on always paying them well for successful jobs. Also, Owen respects a man with a code, whereas Cipher sneered at Dom for his constant offering of companionship to those he can best. Lastly, Owen and Cipher are not above shooting hostages when they are no longer of use to them, but Owen certainly has never demonstrated being willing to kill [[spoiler: ''a child'', much less an infant. Even if it's the son of the man who threw him out of a plane.]]
130	* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: He recovers and back in action for the climax of ''Film/TheFateOfTheFurious'' to defeat Cipher, his former contractor.]]
131	* {{Jerkass}}: And that's the ''nicest'' way to describe him. [[spoiler: He eventually gets better as he comes back in ''Film/FateOfTheFurious'' to help save Dom's baby son and take down Cipher.]]
132	* KickTheDog: While driving a tank he runs over some cars with civilians inside them.
133	%%* KnightOfCerebus
134	* LackOfEmpathy: Cares only for himself and states to Dom that his family is his weakness since he thinks that makes Dom predictable and easy to handle. [[spoiler: Oh how wrong he was and he no longer views it as his weakness in ''Fate''.]]
135	* TheManBehindTheMan: Revealed to be the one behind Arturo Braga, the drug lord from ''4'' [[spoiler: which explains how Letty ended up in his employ]].
136	* MommasBoy: Much like his big brother Deckard, as he [[spoiler:readily obeys her command to help him save Toretto's baby son]].
137	* SiblingYinYang: Owen is a volatile man who causes trouble for his aims, Deckard thinks before he acts and sees through deception. Owen's primary code is ruthless efficiency to the point that he can come off on the surface as a sociopath, while Deckard very openly operates by a familial warrior's code of honor similar to Dom's. [[spoiler:Despite this, they have each other's backs, both dote on their mother's commands, and neither Shaw brother has any interest in harming a child for a senseless goal of destruction.]]
138	* SmugSnake: {{Subverted}}. While he's certainly not lacking in the confidence department he can back it up with his [[MagnificentBastard skills]].
139	* TheSociopath: Has every hallmark of one. [[LackOfEmpathy People who aren't useful to him aren't even human, and only interesting resources at best if they are somehow useful]]. He emotionlessly admits an [[BadBoss utter lack of respect, much less sadness for comrades who fall in battle]], as they're clearly too incompetent to be useful; and that's if you're loyal to him. Most disturbing of all, he [[AxCrazy takes a practically boyish glee in running over and crushing innocent civilians when in command of a tank.]] Shaw's perhaps ''the'' single most evil character in the franchise up to ''6''... until he is thoroughly dethroned by the thoroughly ''inhuman'' Cipher in ''Fate''.
140	* SquishyWizard: Downplayed. An excellent planner and manipulator if he has the resources, and does contain a respectable amount of finesse and military combat prowess to the point of delivering a CurbStompBattle to Brian. However, put in a straight brawl against someone who can also throw hands ''and'' completely outclasses him in brute strength, he struggles much more. After his team is taken out except by Klaus, Dom defeats him while Hobbs does the same to his brute.
141	* TemptingFate: He manages to pull off a gambit near the end of the film that got him released after he was caught. But then he has to state that Dom's team "were never part of the game". [[spoiler: Not a few minutes after he says this, said team come bearing down on him as he's trying to make his getaway. Resulting in ''his'' team being dismantled in the ensuing fight and he himself getting ejected out of a car and out the back end of a plane onto a speeding runway.]]
142	* UnderestimatingBadassery: You know even if you do have a backup plan to get the MacGuffin, it's probably not wise to underestimate people who ''can stop a tank'' or [[spoiler: nearly go flying off a bridge to save a love one you yourself nearly tried to kill.]] And especially [[spoiler: kidnapping and threatening the wife and sister of two of your enemies' leaders]]. Note that he specifically chided one of his men for deriding them as common criminals. Someone needs to listen to their own advice. This is lampshaded in ''7'', [[spoiler:when Deckard admonishes him for always picking fights out of his league when they were children, which Deckard would have to finish]].
143	* UnexplainedRecovery: [[spoiler:By the end of ''The Fate of the Furious'' has fully recovered from ''being thrown off a plane'' with nothing more than a few scars.]]
144	* VillainousValor: Owen may be mortal foes with Dom, but he does respect the fact that Dom has a code by which he lives, which is why he offers Dom a chance to leave no strings attached. Of course, he's also seems not to realize that Dom's code is exactly why he ''won't'' leave under any circumstance.
145	* WorthyOpponent: When told that Dom's crew was just a bunch of "common criminals", he replies with this:
146	-->'''Shaw:''' Tonight, these common criminals were seconds away from taking us down. Show them the respect they deserve or it weakens us.
147	* YouHaveFailedMe: Doesn't even care for his teammates who have fallen in battle by justifying that they failed because they were careless, which disgusts Letty. [[spoiler:He himself is also on the receiving end of this when his employer, Cipher, left him for dead as revealed in the eighth film, which prompts him to team up with his brother Deckard in assaulting her plane.]]

158	* TheHeavy: He the guy whose responsible for the plot in ''Fast & Furious'' especially since we don't find out he was working for [[spoiler: Owen]] until ''6''.
159	* TheManInFrontOfTheMan: The front man for the drug running ring appears to be working for an unseen boss. The boss turns out to be a decoy and the front man is the actual boss and BigBad.
160	* NonActionBigBad: Good at planning and scheming, not so much on the action side.
161	* RealMenWearPink: Subverted. [[spoiler:The fact that Braga, a man who supposedly clawed his way up from "barrio enforcer" to "ruthless drug kingpin", came to a drug deal wearing a salmon pink silk tie is immediately taken by Dom and Brian as evidence that the man is not the real Braga, even if he looks senior enough to look the part]].
162	* SmugSnake: In the climax in the fourth movie, he constantly keeps mocking Brian as Dom and he are trying to outrun Braga's men, so much so Brian finally gets fed up and punches him to shut him up. And again In the sixth movie, since he has muscle by his side, he thinks he can take Brian while he's in prison. Brian easily handles them and get the information needed out of him.

170	A private military terrorist who is being tracked by Mr. Nobody.
171	----
172	* AfricanTerrorists: If an highly sophisticated one, with high-tech and a lot of resources, and seemingly the legal cover of a private military firm.
173	* BaldOfAuthority: Appears to be the leader (or a very high ranking member) of his organization.
174	* BigBadDuumvirate: With Deckard Shaw in the 7th movie.
175	* CrazyPrepared: How else does one explain putting twelve [[GatlingGood Gatling Guns]] on a ''bus''?
176	* MoreDakka: He is a firm believer in this principle. In every appearance they make, his forces bring to bear a truly absurd amount of firepower.
177	* PrecisionFStrike: He yells out a few swear words in his VillainousBreakdown during the FinalBattle.
178	* PrivateMilitaryContractors: Even though he is a wanted terrorist, he still somehow runs one of these, and a very high-budgeted one.
179	* ScaryBlackMan: Jakande is very intimidating.
180	* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: He doesn't show up at all in the trailers and promotional materials for ''Furious 7'', which focus on the good guys, Deckard and some of the most colorful mooks.

190	One of Cipher's henchmen.
191	----
192	* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Considering he was directly responsible for the murder of Elena, it's hard to feel sorry for him when Dom breaks his neck.]]
193	* AxCrazy: Relishes in every chance he can get to murder human beings, ''especially'' woman and innocent children.
194	* BeardOfEvil: A long, shaggy one at that.
195	* ColdSniper: He is last seen trying to take out the Furious family with a sniper rifle.
196	* DirtyCoward: In his last bit with Dom, the latter states he's this since Rhodes never tries to fight someone directly despite all his posturing since most of the time Cipher is one holding the leash and preventing her targets from attacking back. Directly telling Rhodes that when [Dom] kills someone, he looks them dead in the eye. [[spoiler: Once the Shaw Brothers manage to save Dom's son. Dom repeats this to Rhodes right before he kills him.]]
197	* TheDragon: To Cipher.
198	* EvilIsPetty: Even worse than Cipher - he relishes in [[KickTheDog throwing his weight around and hurting innocents]].
199	* EvilRedhead: He has red hair, and is an AxCrazy psychopath who likes to kill just for the fun of it.
200	* HeroKiller: [[spoiler: He killed Elena under Cipher's orders, and would have killed Letty ''twice'' and the rest of Dom's family had Dom not put a stop to it.]]
201	* {{Jerkass}}: In case you haven't noticed all of the above tropes.
202	* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler: Killed Elena right in front of Dom and nearly kills Letty twice just to spite him. However once Deckard saves Dom's son and gives him the all clear. Dom wastes ''no time'' unleashing fury on him and ultimately his death.]]
203	* NeckSnap: [[spoiler: How he is taken out, by a vengeful Dom.]]
204	* OhCrap: He has just enough time to realize he's screwed before [[spoiler: Dom promptly beats and then kills him]].
205	* TheSociopath: Cipher casually states that the men under her command have no compunctions whatsoever about murdering [[spoiler: innocent babies]] with gunfire; Rhodes certainly showed nothing but grinning-joy in [[spoiler: slaying Elena right in front of her baby son.]]

210	!!!'''Played By:''' Thue Ersted Rasmussen [[labelnote:Other Languages]] Arturo Cataño (Latin Spanish)[[/labelnote]]
211	!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/{{F9}}''
212
213	The son of an Eastern European dictator who intends to move out of his father's shadow by becoming a cyberterrorist.
214	----
215	* BigBad: Of ''F9''. He is the mastermind behind the plan to steal and activate Project Ares, with Jakob as his main muscle. [[spoiler: Later turns against Jakob and joins up with Cipher in a BigBadDuumvirate.]]
216	* BigBadWannabe: While still a credible threat, Jakob is basically the one doing all the legwork as DragonInChief or partner in a BigBadDuumvirate, and while Otto has the manpower and resources, he accomplishes next-to-nothing without Jakob's skills,[[spoiler: and when he partners up with Cipher instead, she is clearly using him either to succeed in their plan and allow her to control the global computer network, or to aid her in defeating the crew and killing Dom. Tellingly, he is unceremoniously killed when Cipher callously bombs his truck to kill Dom, not even caring if he dies in the bombing.]]
217	* DarkIsEvil: Favors dark suits over appropriate military outfits.
218	* FanBoy: Of ''Franchise/StarWars'', to the point he identifies with Luke and Han, somehow.
219	* FauxAffablyEvil: He greets Dom when he shows up at his mansion party, encourages him to have fun even, but it's made clear he's a slimey SmugSnake.
220	* {{Foil}}: To Jakob Toretto. Both are sons who feel overshadowed by another relative in their life (father for Otto, older brother for Jakob), causing their determination to act out by working together. But Otto is a privileged, spoiled kid, while Jakob came from the rough neighborhood of East Los Angeles and had to work his way to the top. All Jakob wants deep down is to be loved, and he still cares for his family to a degree, whereas Otto has declared his father to be a lost cause and wants to bring him down.
221	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: He is ultimately [[spoiler:killed when he's blown up inside his truck by his own drone.]]
222	* ObliviouslyEvil: Bizarrely, he views himself as the good guy. Bare in mind he's trying to TakeOverTheWorld with a super-virus that will control all technology and doesn't seem to be motivated by anything more than ambition (while he seems to have a bad relationship with his dictator father, he's not seemingly appalled at his dictatorship, and actually gloats about being "Dictator's son rich") and throws hedonistic parties full of [[SexSlave half-naked women he "owns"]], but he compares himself to [[Franchise/StarWars Luke Skywalker]] and balks at being called "The Bad Guy". His understanding of "the good guy" seems to be based on a bizarre MightMakesRight philosophy, since his reasoning for identifying with Luke and later Han Solo is based on them being "awesome" rather than noble and heroic, and accepts being called Yoda because "he's a powerful force user", which to him is what makes him a good guy. In a sense, to Otto, the "good guy" isn't that because they're noble, but because they're awesome/badass/powerful, and as he views himself as those things, that makes him the good guy.
223	* OverlordJr: He is the son of a dictator and aspires to become the true superpower.
224	* YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters: He claims at least, but he's definitely not motivated by degree of "freedom fighting." He just doesn't see himself as anything but the hero.

261	Shaw's team assassin, an Asian martial artist.
262	----
263
264	* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Non-verbally, as told by his smug expression and martial body language.
265	* AxCrazy: He beats down anyone trying to block his way, even if it's cops. He also screams his head off during the shootout in Shaw’s garage:
266	* BilingualDialogue: At some points talks in Bahasa Indonesia to his partners, who in turn speak only English.
267	* CurbStompBattle: Roman, Han, and two cops vs Jah. Two minutes later Jah walks off without a scratch on him after wiping the floor with them.
268	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Although Jah ultimately shares Shaw's ruthless pragmatism, he is visibly affected by Ivory's death.
269	* InscrutableOriental: He is focused and serene most of the time. Only when he is fighting he goes [[ScreamingWarrior a bit louder.]]
270	* LightningBruiser: Incredibly fast over his feet and then incredibly hard to take down in a fight.
271	* LeParkour: Uses some to run through the Waterloo station.

284	* TheBrute
285	* DumbMuscle: Although a guy like him could probably [[JustHitHim break a neck with one hand]], the guy resorts mostly to simpler tactics like throwing and punching around. Not that it isn't effective, however.
286	* GiantMook: So much it takes two heroes to (literally) take him down.
287	* LightningBruiser: Very fast, big and strong.
288	* ShoutOut: A hulking guy who wears in purple. [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Subtle.]]
289	* UnderestimatingBadassery: Letty threatens to beat him down in the beginning of the movie. Considering he was handing [[spoiler:Dom and Hobbs]] their asses one-on-one in the climax, and needed them to team up and the element and surprise to beat him, its very obvious that Letty has no idea how tough he really is
