11
12	->'''Voiced by:''' Robert (Sean) Omeara
13
14	Nathan's abusive father. A businessman who owns most of Arcadia Bay.
15
16	----
17	* AbusiveParents: To Nathan. He's emotionally abusive towards him and willfully ignores [[AxCrazy just how badly his son needs therapy]]. He might not have treated his daughter well either.
18	* AmbiguouslyEvil: It's never made precisely clear [[spoiler:if he was actively complicit in Jefferson's depravities or not, though at the end of the game he is investigated due to owning the property the Dark Room was on.]]
19	* CorruptCorporateExecutive: He appears to be deliberately destroying Arcadia Bay's economy to advance his own interests.
20	* CrazySurvivalist: He has an apocalypse bunker built beneath a farmstead he owns. It's filled with many of the same supplies and brands that David has. His family is said to have inspired a bomb shelter craze in the town. [[spoiler:It is also the same place where Nathan and Jefferson take their victims and take pictures of them in their grotesque state, and seems to be the primary purpose for the bunker nowadays.]]
21	* FourEyesZeroSoul: He wears nice glasses, but is an incredibly horrible person.
22	* TheGhost: He doesn't appear in the original game, but is mentioned frequently and his influence hangs over Blackwell. The closest we get to see him is an old picture on Nathan's desk. [[spoiler: He finally appears in person in Episode 2 of ''Before the Storm'', yelling at Nathan for being worried about being laughed at before the play.]]
23	* GreaterScopeVillain: He's treated as the biggest threat to the entire town, as he hired [[spoiler:[[BigBad Mark Jefferson]], though it's implied even he didn't know about the teacher's MadArtist agenda.]] He also threatens Max via text if she reports Nathan's behaviour.
24	* HatedByAll: Absolutely nobody in the game considers Prescott a good person or is on board with his plans to take over Arcadia Bay.
25	* HateSink: He's considered to be the most horrible person in the entire story, with absolutely no sympathetic qualities whatsoever. Even his own deranged son despises his very presence.
26	* TheHeavy: Almost every negative thing happening to Arcadia Bay, from the environmental damage to Nathan and [[spoiler:Jefferson's]] kidnapping escapades, is linked back to Sean Prescott, his family, and their funding.
27	* HiddenAgendaVillain: It's implied that he has some end goal in mind for both the town and Nathan, but exactly what it is is never made clear.
28	* IOwnThisTown: He's the most powerful man in Arcadia Bay. Blackwell Academy and the Arcadia Bay Police Department bow to his whims.
29	* ItsAllAboutMe: In ''Before the Storm'', he pressures his son to give a good performance in the school play because of how it'll make ''himself'' look good as a parent.
30	* {{Jerkass}}: The biggest one in Arcadia Bay, working only to benefit himself and barely even pretending to care about his mentally ill son.
31	* KickTheDog: The biggest examples of this being his abuse towards Nathan.
32	* LackOfEmpathy: He only seems to care about his family's "legacy"
33	* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler: In the "Sacrifice Chloe" ending, his son's arrest and his heavy role in unknowingly assisting a serial killer for months causes the great Prescott to be called in for questioning by the authorities, tarnishing his family's legacy for good. His exact fate in the other ending is unclear.]]
34	* ManOfWealthAndTaste: He only pays for the best quality of anything he desires.
35	* NeverMyFault: [[spoiler: In ''Before the Storm'', should Chloe call him out on abusing Nathan, he just brushes her aside and tells her to mind her own business, believing that Nathan deserved his harsh treatment.]] He's also dismissive of his son's blatant mental issues and has the nerve to say that ''Nathan'' is at fault for all his problems when Sean himself is making them worse, whether directly or indirectly.
36	* OneSteveLimit: Averted. He shares his birth name with Sean Diaz, the protagonist of the second game.
37	* PetTheDog: In episode 3 of ''Before the Storm'', you can find a letter at the hospital from him offering to anonymously pay all of whichever of the North brothers was injured's medical bill, as the incident took place on school grounds. It's possible that he's trying to save face and look good in the public eye; nevertheless, it was one of his rare decisions that benefited others in the long run.
38	* RedHerring: [[spoiler:Despite being built up as the ultimate evil in Arcadia Bay, he has nothing to do with the strange weather and his level of involvement with Jefferson's crimes is unclear.]]
39	* RichJerk: He's the richest man in the state and a sociopathic monster.
40	* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: He uses his extensive donations to Blackwell Academy and the local police department to stop any attempt to make Nathan answer for his crimes. [[spoiler:However, when the police learn of what Nathan and Jefferson are doing in the Dark Room, they do arrest Nathan. In one of the alternate timelines, they begin an investigation into Mr. Prescott's involvement with the crimes as well, with the implication that his control of Arcadia Bay has come to an end.]]
41	* SinisterShades: Not exactly shades, but he's a villain who wears dark-tinted glasses.
42	* TheSociopath: Is willing to ruin anyone's life in his bid to take over Arcadia Bay. Even his own son's mental issues mean nothing to him.
43	* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler: He's been sending money to his son and unknowingly assisted a serial killer in their criminal actions. He eventually gets called in by the police for this.]]

52
53	A homeless woman living behind the Two Whales diner. She knows a lot about the town.
54	----
55	* {{Hobo}}: She lives behind the Two Whales diner. Joyce gives her meals free of charge.
56	* NoNameGiven: Solely known as the "homeless lady".
57	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Max can warn her of the impending tornado in Episode 3, believing she'll be receptive to the news. [[spoiler:Doing so saves the woman's life when the tornado hits.]]

65
66	->'''Voiced by:''' Michael Vasque
67
68	The bouncer outside the club at the old mill. Very proud of his Samoan decent.
69	----
70	* TheMole: [[spoiler: He's been spying on his boss Damon for the DA's office in return for immunity from prosecution for a past offense.]]
71	* PetTheDog: He tries to stop Chloe from getting into the party because he's worried about her safety. If she suitably impresses him in the backtalk challenge, he laughs and lets her through, saying she's alright.
72	* PunchClockVillain: He works for the town's biggest criminal drug dealer Damon, but he gets no amusement out of any of it.
73	* RealMenWearPink: If Chloe tries to make fun of the floral design on his motorbike, he'll give her a brief lecture on his heritage.
74	* TokenGoodTeammate: It's shown that he's only with Damon to earn some cash, not because he wants to enforce his drug cartel. [[spoiler: In fact, it's later revealed that he's a mole hired by the police to rat out his boss.]]
75	* VillainyFreeVillain: The most "evil" thing he does is prevent Chloe from entering a club, but he's shown to be a decent guy underneath his tough exterior.
76	* WarmupBoss: Chloe's attempt to get past him is effectively a tutorial on how the backtalk mechanic works. You can still fail it, but since the correct answers are marked, you'd have to do it deliberately (and it has a minimal impact on the story).

81	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/39292458_c8cb_46ba_ad38_6963c998afb9.jpeg]]

84	[[caption-width-right:350:Peter.]]
85
86	->'''Voiced by:''' ???
87
88	A pair of "skeevy guys" who accost Chloe at the concert at the old mill. Both work for Damon.
89	----
90	* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: Chloe can frame one of them as a mole in Damon's inner circle which gets one of the two killed by him.]]
91	* AxCrazy: Sheldon. He tries to murder Chloe, a teenage girl, for the horrible crime of accidentaly spilling his beer in a MOSHPIT.
92	* DirtyCoward: Both of them act tough and intimidating when dealing with Chloe and Rachel but when Frank steps in, they immediately back down.
93	* DisproportionateRetribution: They attack Chloe after she accidentally spills Peter's drink, even if the player apologizes.
94	* TheDividual: They appear to menace Chloe in Episode 1 of ''Before the Storm'' and are completely interchangeable (just being known as "Skeevy Guy" and "Other Skeevy Guy" in the overlay and when Chloe writes about them in graffiti). Their names only appear in James Amber's list of Damon's associates.
95	* GrievousBottleyHarm: Sheldon eventually tries to stab Chloe with a broken beer bottle, and more than likely would have gone through with it if Rachel hadn't intervened.
96	* {{Jerkass}}: They're both extremely rude, aggressive and make a big deal about nothing. But Sheldon is far worse than Peter (who looks more like an insecure follower than anything else.).
97	* SmugSnake: Again, both of them, but Sheldon is far worse. He acts like he's untouchable because he works for Damon. Turns out that it's all talk, if Chloe hits Sheldon in Episode 1, Damon doesn't really seem to care. In Episode 3, if Chloe (who is pretending to be James Amber over the phone) tells Damon that Sheldon is the snitch, Damon replies that he barely knows him, so Sheldon isn't even that important.
98	* TattooedCrook: Sheldon's arms and his neck are covered in tattoos.
99	* WouldHitAGirl: They have no qualms about hurting Chloe.
