11->'''Played by:''' Creator/IkoUwais
12
13The main protagonist of the series, formerly a member of the police strike team, takes part in the titular raid in the first film. After surviving that, he goes undercover (going by Yuda) to infiltrate the Indonesian underground criminal organizations to topple them.
14----
15* ActionDad: Insanely fast, strong, and capable of taking a beating before tearing his opponent to shreds. His wife is heavily pregnant in movie 1, and in movie 2 he has a young son, though the boy is never put into any danger.
16* ArmorIsUseless: Averted. Though he ditches his body armor half-way through the first film, it actually does protect him during the fight with the Machete gang. One member lands a blow on him, which cuts the armor, but Rama is unharmed.
17* BewareTheNiceOnes: Rama is a kind and quiet man who deeply cares for his comrades and family, but he also just so happens to be one of the best fighters in the series. [[OneManArmy Fighting against armies of mooks and fellow martial artists]], that are [[OneManArmy one men/women armies]] in their own right.
18* BroomstickQuarterstaff: After a bunch of prisoners is about to pull a hit on Uco, Ramma, who was holding a push broom, detaches the broom head from the pole and uses it to a decent effect against the would-be assassins before he loses it.
19* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: He displays levels of strength, speed, stamina, and endurance that are nearly superhuman. All thanks to his training and the experiences he has faced in both movies.
20* CombatPragmatist: Rama is as resourceful as he is ruthless in a fight. If he isn't beating you to death with martial arts or using weapons. He's either throwing objects, breaking limbs, stabbing people with all sorts of sharp objects, slamming you against walls or any tough surface, headbutting you, or using your own knife to either kill you or your friends. One stand-out moment is his using a local restaurant's grill to turn one of his opponents into a two-faced corpse
21* CradlingYourKill: A variation of this happens twice in the finale; he lets the dying Assassin and [[spoiler:Uco]] lean against him as they die from fatal karambit wounds.
22* DeathFakedForYou: After the disastrous raid in the first film, the police list him as [= MIA =], allowing him to take the new identity of "Yuda" and go undercover.
23* {{Deconstruction}}: Of the ActionHero and InvincibleHero. Rama may be a badass OneManArmy that can run through dozens of mooks, but he is still human and can be injured and fight because he ''has'' to, rather than for action's sake. Not to mention, in almost every aftermath of his fights, he's left bruised, battered, and limping. This is best shown in the first movie during his fight with the machete gang, where Rama's first instinct was to ''run'' rather than bravely face them head-on. It is after he's cornered that he manages to muster up the courage to face them head-on in order to stay alive. In short, Rama is not invulnerable and has a very real chance of being killed despite all his skills. Also, unlike most action movie protagonists who usually are the ones looking for action, action comes to ''him'', and he's usually fighting to survive rather than show off.
24* DualWielding: Seems to have a habit of engaging in this. He wields both a combat knife and a [[LawmanBaton nightstick]] in the first film. He also uses two weapons several times in the sequel, such as making use of two batons during the prison riot and uses two bottles when fighting his ambushers. After killing the Assassin, he takes his two karambits, which become useful when [[spoiler:Uco tries to kill him]].
25* GrievousBottleyHarm: When getting ambushed in ''Berandal'', the fight reaches a local restaurant that has Rama DualWielding a pair of bottles that he breaks and uses as shivs to cut up his assailants.
26* OneManArmy: Rama can take an entire gang if he has to. In the second film, the titular Raid is performed by himself against an entire organization
27* ItsPersonal: At first, Rama didn't want anything to do against the drug lords, Indonesian gangs, and Yakuza in ''Berandal'', up until Bejo killed his brother. Just after the two worked together to survive the first film, he's now very much interested.
28* LightningBruiser: You'd be hard-pressed to find ''anyone'' who is faster, stronger, and out and out more badass than Rama. Mad Dog is an exception, not the rule.
29* ProperlyParanoid: He exhibits this trait after his release from prison as part of his infiltration into Bangun’s gang. The first thing he does when he gets a new set of clothes is check for a wire and promptly tear it out when he finds it. When he gets to his apartment, he turns up the music loud, swaps out the SIM card he had, and chews out his boss for planting a wire on him. When he first meets Bangun, he has Rama stripped so he can check the latter’s clothes for a wire. He also orders Bunawar and his men to keep their distance due to the danger Bangun and his gang pose.
30* SinisterShiv:
31** When fighting Mad Dog, Rama makes use of a broken fluorescent tube to try and finally take him down; it takes nearly ripping Mad Dog's throat open with said tube to finally put him down.
32** During the prison riot, Rama manages to steal a few of the prisoner's shanks and then proceeds to use them against his opponents.
33* TheStoic: Rama can emote when he needs to, but he keeps up a stone-faced calmness through much of his appearances.
34* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: When Wahyu is being overwhelmed by two mooks in the narcotics lab, he manages to throw a random knife with pretty good precision that it lands on the pointy end (also helped by Wahyu turning to let the mook get hit). In the sequel, he also uses one of the Assassin's karambits to hit [[spoiler:Uco, when the latter has him pinned]].
35* TookALevelInBadass: Not to say he wasn't an excellent fighter before, but in the sequel he level grinds in badassery when he's in prison. By the time he gets out, he's turned into a bonafide one-man army with only a few allies to help him out.

37
38[[folder:Jaka]]
39
40->'''Played by:''' Creator/JoeTaslim
41----
42* AFatherToHisMen: Jaka's incredibly protective of the men under his command. When Rama opens up an escape way under the floorboards, Jaka insists on going first to see if it's safe. Even after they've been outgunned and routed, he insists on finding Bowo and Rama before they leave and chews out Wahyu telling him to just leave them.
43* CombatPragmatist: His fighting style is less flashy than other characters, using UsefulNotes/{{Judo}} throws and takedowns and keeping his strikes in low angles, and is more based on counterattacking than plodding forward.
44* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He is harsh and short-tempered but an efficient and moral leader.
45* LargeAndInCharge: He is the tallest member of his team and is also the one who gives commands.
46* RankScalesWithAsskicking: Jaka's the officer in charge with a ton of experience under his belt, so he can hold his own in a fight. He even manages to hold on the longest against Mad Dog in single combat.
47* SergeantRock: He's a no-nonsense, tough-as-nails sergeant who looks out for his men.
48* TellMeHowYouFight: Jaka puts himself in harm's way constantly to protect his squad, and it's reflected in his fighting style, particularly in the fight with Mad Dog. He uses Judo and counter-attacking heavily, so he lets Mad Dog get in a lot of hits before returning with his own. While Mad Dog defeats him, his style and his goal are fulfilled - he buys time for his team to get away, sacrificing himself for their safety.
49* TheresNoKillLikeOverKill: When struggling against a gangster, Jaka ends up slamming him against a table and unloading ''three'' point-blank shots into his head.
50[[/folder]]
51
52[[folder:Bowo]]
53
54->'''Played by:''' Tegar Satrya
55----
56* DesperationAttack: His most notable moments in combat are ones of desperation. Utilizing a breaching axe to slay an attacker is one kind of desperation; reduced to crawling, wounded, past dying enemies and being forced to stab one repeatedly when they grab on to you is ''a whole other kind''. [[TheDeterminator If there's one thing Bowo's not gonna do, it's give up]].
57* EarAche: A chunk of his ear is blown off during a gunfight.
58* GameBreakingInjury: Getting shot in the stomach during the opening shoot-out incapacitates him for the rest of the film.
59* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Bowo is standoffish and easily annoyed, but he's a loyal teammate, and in his last scene he gives Rama a sincere warning to stay safe.
60* ShellShockSilence: Him getting shot in the ear kills all sound in the scene and brings on a loud ringing noise.
61* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: [[spoiler: A cut scene shows that Bejo's gang found him and his wife in the sequel and murdered them both]].
62* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In the Sequel. After telling Rama to be careful, Bowo heads to the hospital and is never seen or heard from again. [[spoiler:A deleted scene shows him being killed]].
63
64[[/folder]]
65
66[[folder:Wahyu]]
67
68->'''Played by:''' Pierre Gruno
69----
70* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: [[spoiler: With the reveal of him being a DirtyCop, all of his takedowns of gangsters end up falling under this trope. Most notably his murder of Tama.]]
71* CombatPragmatist: Makes use of dirty tactics and uses improvised weapons to compensate for his lack of martial arts skills.
72* DirtyCop: [[spoiler:He's a malicious corrupt cop. Wahyu wanted to kill Tama so his own corrupt superiors would promote him]].
73* DirtyCoward: When the shooting starts up, he's near paralyzed with fear, though when the team is cornered, he's up and shooting with the rest. He runs from Mad Dog... [[KnowWhenToFoldThem, which is understandable]], and when he, Dagu, and Rama are thrown into unarmed combat, Wahyu does his best even if he isn't as skilled as the other two. [[spoiler:Killing Dagu and using Tama as a way out, however, cements him as this]]. He also refused to search for the other police officers before leaving Tama's apartment.
74* HeKnowsTooMuch: Twice: [[spoiler:In the first movie, it's part of the reason he's offed in addition to YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness. His corrupt superiors don't need him, and he knows too much about their operation to let him live. In the sequel Bunawar has him killed because he knows Rama's alive, and Bunawar needs Rama to fake his death in order to get into the crime syndicate. Ironically he doesn't think Wahyu knows enough about the corruption to be useful, as the superiors can just shrug off the accusations.]]
75* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: [[spoiler:Underneath his pragmatism, as well as his hesitations and cracks in his rigid facade, Wahyu's a selfish asshole willing to murder his own men in a desperate bid to save his own skin]].
76* KnowWhenToFoldThem: He immediately runs for it when he sees Mad Dog. Which is the only logical response when confronted with someone like him.
77* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: [[spoiler: is gunned down suddenly at the start of The Raid 2 under the orders of Lieutenant Bunawar.]]
78* TellMeHowYouFight: In the drug lab fight, we see Wahyu using his environment a lot, slamming thugs into desks, throwing objects down, and using makeshift weapons - reflective of how he's more than willing to use others to get his goals and putting others in harm's way before himself.
79* TokenEvilTeammate: [[spoiler:Among the legitimate cops who raided Tama's apartment, he was the corrupt one.]]
80* WouldHurtAChild: When they were using stealth, and Wahyu sees a kid about to raise the alarm, he shoots him in the neck, justifying it under IDidWhatIHadToDo.
81
82[[/folder]]
83
84[[folder:Dagu]]
85
86->'''Played by:''' Eka Rahmadia
87----
88* TheBigGuy: While Rama's a better fighter, it seems that Dagu is stronger physically, as he's seen lifting heavy objects as well as his foes. His fighting style reflects it, as his strikes are slower but heavier and feature ample UsefulNotes/{{Taekwondo}} pivots as opposed to Rama's rapid-fire.
89* EveryoneHasStandards: While fighting Mad Dog 2 on 1 would still probably result in their deaths, Dagu's not very happy to have been ordered to abandon Jaka to protect Wahyu.
90* MauveShirt: Dagu is the nameless SWAT rookie who survived the initial purge that took out all the red shirts. After making it out, he receives a bit of character, and we learn his name when they are under fire.
91* PintsizedPowerhouse: Like Rama, he's a little on the short side, and like Rama he can kick all kinds of ass. Dagu's fights involve a lot of lifting of his larger opponents. When Rama wants to move a fridge when under fire, he, Dagu, and Agee push it together until Agee is killed, and Rama ends up returning fire. Dagu pushes the fridge into place all by himself.
92* TellMeHowYouFight: He's very aggressive during the drug lab fight - he's the first through the door, tackling and body-slamming a thug into debris, chokeslamming another, and full-on sprinting at an attacker while charging straight through projectiles being thrown at him. He's a head-on fighter that runs straight towards his opponents, [[spoiler: which results in him charging ahead of Rama and Andi, but alongside Wahyu, who betrays and shoots him.]]
93* TooDumbToLive: He lets Wahyu, a man he knows isn't trustworthy, keep a gun while leaving himself unarmed. It ends as well as you'd expect.

97[[folder:Bunawar]]
98
99->'''Played by:''' Cok Simbara
100----
101* BigGood: He's a high-ranking officer doing his best to suss out the corruption within the police force and take down the gangsters. Rama works under him in the sequel and his machinations set off the plot.
102* MeanBoss: However, his management of Rama leaves much to be desired, what with him constantly micromanaging and hiding information from Rama.
103
104[[/folder]]
105
106[[folder:Reza]]
107
108->'''Played by:''' Roy Marten
109----
110* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler: His fate, courtesy of Uco after he steals a shotgun that was meant for him, he only has a few moments to have an OhCrap moment before Uco blasts him in the face..]]
111* CorruptPolitician: A seedy and duplicitous politician whom gangsters fight over so they can have him approve their doings.
112* GreaterScopeVillain: As a corrupt higher-up official, the many gangs are in a mad frenzy to curry his favor. He's only mentioned by name at the end of the first film, but it's clear that the titular Raid was from his manipulations to [[spoiler: kill Wahyu as he was a loose end]]. He finally appears in the second film, and part of Bejo's gambit is to get his attention so he can have such a high-ranking official in his pocket. Reza makes it clear that he's happy with the war as he can gain more money and influence.
113* OhCrap: He has a beautiful one, [[spoiler: the moment Uco aims a shotgun at him.]]

117!!The Apartment Gangsters
118
119[[folder:Tama Riyadi]]
120
121->'''Played by:''' Ray Sahetapy
122----
123* BigBad: Of the first movie.
124* BoomHeadshot: He kills several people this way at the start of the movie. [[spoiler:And ironically for him it's how Wahyu kills him]].
125* FauxAffablyEvil: While Tama doesn't have many scenes, he does come off as a mild-mannered man who mocks those around him who he's about to sentence to death. Even when he's ordering the death of the Swat team, he reminds all of his underlings to have fun.
126* HellHotel: He runs one, an apartment filled with mostly tenants with criminal backgrounds. The higher levels participate in his more seedier activities.
127* NonActionBigBad: Unlike his underlings, Tama has no physical prowess (although that doesn't mean he doesn't take part in executions); he just gives the orders and watches the chaos unfold.
128* PostFinalBoss: He's already a NonActionBigBad to begin with, but Wahyu captures him with little resistance while the brothers have their climactic battle with [[TheDragon Mad Dog]]. By that point, dealing with Tama wraps up the film's plot and nothing more.
129* ProperlyParanoid: As he puts it, he's persistently paranoid of everyone else, hence why he relies on security cameras to keep tabs on them. He turns out to be right in his suspicions of Andi after his cameras catch him and Rama.
130* RevolversAreJustBetter: Keeps one in his room, using it to execute a hostage until it runs out of ammo.
131[[/folder]]
132
133[[folder:Andi]]
134
135->'''Played by:''' Donny Alamsyah
136----
137* AffablyEvil: He's one of the lieutenants of a ruthless crime lord but is friendly and protective of his brother, Rama.
138* BecauseImGoodAtIt: This is why he became a gangster. He discovered that he was good at the trade and felt it fit him. He also chooses to remain as one even as his family wants him home.
139* BigBrotherInstinct: Ultimately, his reason for helping Rama out when he finds out he's among the SWAT team.
140* CombatPragmatist: His status as a gangster would make him this by default, but he really takes the cake when he [[spoiler: uses a piece of broken fluorescent tube to stab Mad Dog in the neck from behind.]]
141* CurbStompCushion: During his and Rama's final showdown with Mad Dog, he got punished ''a lot'' more than Rama did, but he manages to land some good hits and even lodged the glass in Mad Dog's throat, which Rama eventually used finish him off. Granted, he was beaten extensively before the fight started, so this might have affected his performance somewhat.
142* EvenEvilCanBeLoved: Despite his gang affiliation, both Rama and their father still love him, with Rama vowing to his father get him out of the building alive at beginning of the first movie and [[spoiler: his murder]] at the hands of Bejo being a driving force behind the plot of the second movie. His father is also grief-stricken when the latter is [[spoiler: at his funeral]]
143* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: In return, he also takes care of his younger brother.
144* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler: Averted. He dies shaking and begging for his life.]]
145* GoodOldFisticuffs: Unlike Rama, who trains and fights using martial arts, Andi uses brash and reckless punches or a street fighting style.
146* IChooseToStay: He ultimately refuses to come home when Rama asks, opting to remain a gangster.
147* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: [[spoiler:After surviving the first movie, Andi's killed off in the opening scene of the sequel because he was a threat to a rival gangster]].
148* TheUnfavorite: He notes that his rule breaking streak pushed his father and him apart.
149

151
152[[folder:Mad Dog]]
153
154->'''Played by:''' Creator/YayanRuhian
155----
156* TheBerserker: When Mad Dog gets going, he's a crazy mixture of fury and fists.
157* BewareTheQuietOnes: He doesn't say much, letting his fists speak for him. Thankfully, his fists speak [[ImplacableMan A LOT]].
158* BloodFromTheMouth: Has some after his fight with Jaka.
159* BloodKnight: He prefers to fight with his fists because he enjoys the rush of killing someone with his bare hands.
160* BrainsAndBrawn: When paired with Andi, Mad Dog shows more signs of the latter, as he is the more bloodthirsty of the two.
161* TheBrute: Among Tama's enforcers, he's his most powerful fighter.
162* ChallengeSeeker: He finds it more enjoyable to put himself at a disadvantage and create difficulties. This becomes a MemeticMutation in Indonesia.
163* ClimaxBoss: The fight with Mad Dog is treated as a more climactic battle, while Wahyu takes Tama into custody and betrays the team. This is also the point where Tama reveals that Wahyu was sent to be killed off by his superiors, making his entire goal for nothing.
164* DoesntLikeGuns: He believes that firearms detract from the thrill of a fistfight, eagerly dropping his pistol when he has Jaka at gunpoint while the cop only has a knife to defend himself.
165* TheDragon: Initially CoDragons with Andi, Mad Dog proves to be the most powerful and loyal underling in Tama's employ once Andi's loyalty to his brother results in him being stripped of his lieutenant status.
166* DragonInChief: Works for Tama but is considerably more powerful and dangerous than him and the one who faces the team personally. Once Mad Dog is out of the picture, Tama is little more than a plot thread that needs tying up.
167* TheDreaded: Played with. His reputation as a vicious and powerful fighter precedes him, but not many people actually know what he looks like.
168* FairPlayVillain: He puts away the gun he has trained on Jaka and later allows Rama to bandage Andi's wounds before facing them in combat.
169* HeroKiller: He kills Jaka after a prolonged fight to seal the deal on how dangerous he is.
170* HeroesFightBarehanded: Inverted because he's a villain who prefers to fight barehanded, while the heroes rely on anything they can find and use to survive.
171* ImplacableMan: Mad Dog is anything if not utterly relentless. Kick him in the head, stomp on him, and he's back up again. [[spoiler: Having a piece of fluorescent light stabbed into his throat just makes him even more energetic, [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill, and it takes breaking both of his arms and slitting his throat with said piece of light to finally kill him]]]].
172* NobleTopEnforcer: [[DownplayedTrope Somewhat.]] While he doesn't object to Tama's gleeful cruelty ''per se'', he never takes part in it himself, and while he loves to fight he doesn't seem particularly sadistic or malicious in general.
173* LetsFightLikeGentlemen: When he has Jaka at gunpoint, he disarms himself, feeling hand-to-hand combat is a more worthy endeavor. He even lets Rama untie and bandage Andi's wounds before allowing them to assume fighting stances and attack him. His actor states that it's because he enjoys the thrill of hand-to-hand combat and the rush of killing someone with his bare hands.
174* NoNameGiven: Is only known as the Mad Dog.
175* PintSizedPowerhouse: He's a fairly short man, shorter than Andi and Rama. He can also match both of them together and take on more physically imposing fighters like Jaka.
176* RasputinianDeath: It takes a lot for Rama and Andi to bring down Mad Dog. First, Andi drives a fluorescent light tube into his neck, which causes him to start bleeding through the tube, then has both arms effectively broken and is held down by both brothers as Rama slashes his throat with the tube still lodged in his neck.
177* SmugSuper: He's completely confident that he can take on larger and/or multiple opponents using only his bare hands. He isn't wrong.
178* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: In the context of the first film, he is the "final boss," giving the heroes the hardest fight for the climax. However, in the context of the film series, it seems almost odd that one of the strongest gangsters (and Mad Dog does outclass quite a few of the criminals in the sequel) is employed by Tama, a relatively small person in the grand scheme of things. Though Bangun did value Tama's position as a negotiator between the gangs and the corrupt officials, perhaps that allowed him to employ such a powerful minion.
179* VillainousCheekbones: Yayan Ruhian's cheekbones are pretty distinctive and help accentuate his thin figure. They're more present here than in the sequel, where he grows a beard.
180* VillainousValor: Jaka is bigger than him; Andi and Rama double-team him. Mad Dog doesn't care one bit.

183[[folder:Machete Gang Leader]]
184
185->'''Played by:''' Alfridus Godfred
186----
187* AxCrazy: In his words:
188-->"Kalau saya muak, saya menggila" (English translation: "When I'm pissed off, I'll go apeshit")
189* TheBrute: On a much smaller scale. He is a machete-wielding thug who goes for straight-up brutality, and he and his gang are the most bloodthirsty of the tenants.
190* EliteMooks: The Machete Gang are only 5 men strong, and they give Rama a considerably more difficult fight than the army of mooks before, and the drug cooks after.
191* {{Jerkass}}: He's not the most pleasant guy to be around. He ends up insulting and threatening Gofar and his sick wife before trashing their apartment while looking for Rama and Bowo.
192* MacheteMayhem: His gang's specialty.
193* MookLieutenant: He leads the Machete Gang, a hunting party formed to take out any surviving cops.
194* NeverBringAKnifeToAFistFight: He and his gang have a hard time hitting Rama with their machetes, and get beaten. When he drops his machete, he's able to put up a better fight and can land more hits, up until he picks up the machete again, and the fight goes downhill.
195* NoNameGiven: He's listed in the credits as "Machete Gang #1"

199!!The Bangun Organization
200
201[[folder:Bangun]]
202
203->'''Played by:''' Tio Pakusadewo
204----
205* AntiVillain: Bangun is a very wise man by villain standards. Though he has no problem getting rid of problematic elements in the city or his organization, he is extremely fair and appreciative to the soldiers who work for him. When a war very nearly breaks out with Goto's syndicate, Bangun breaks the tension by being apologetic and offering a "peace package" to the latter.
206* BenevolentBoss: For a crime boss, Bangun takes pretty good care of the men under him, as long as they don't betray him. When Prakoso is assassinated, rather than risk the lives of more men to get revenge on his killers, he instead declare his intention to see that the man's family is taken care of.
207* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler: How he dies, courtesy of his son Uco]].
208* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Unleashed one on Uco after he realized what his son has been planning. Unfortunately, this leaves him off guard for Bejo and his crew to storm in his office, and for Uco to kill him.
209* ParentsAsPeople: A crime boss he may be, but he very much loves his son and wants the best for him. He practically used Rama as a babysitter for Uco, when he has tantrum, telling Rama to buy him a beer or get him a woman. Unfortunately, his son resents him for refusing to grant him a higher position in his criminal empire due to Bangun knowing that he's ill-suited for it.
210* PragmaticVillainy: He prefers to avoid unnecessary bloodshed, which some dismiss as weakness.
211* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Bangun is patient and understanding in spite of being a powerful criminal warlord. He doesn't indulge in the sadistic excesses that Tama or Bejo love and when conflict arises between him and the Japanese gang, Bangun does his best to settle it non-violently.
212[[/folder]]
213
214[[folder:Uco]]
215
216->'''Played by:''' Arifin Putra
217----
218* AmbitionIsEvil: Uco's desire for more rank and responsibility in his father's organization is the crux of his arc and how Bejo finds a way to corrupt him.
219* ApologeticAttacker: [[spoiler:He apologizes to his dad... before he kills him]].
220* AxCrazy: Slowly devolves into this as the film progresses, mainly thanks to Bejo.
221* BoomHeadshot: Delivers a lot of these throughout the film. Victims include but aren't limited to [[spoiler:his father, Reza and Bejo]].
222* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: He saves Rama the trouble of killing [[spoiler:[[BigBad Bejo]] by doing the deed himself, after finding out that he was behind the hit on him in prison and had been manipulating his ambitions the whole time.]]
223* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Throughout the movie, he betrays [[spoiler:his father's loyal henchman Eka, his own father Bangun, his fellow conspirator Bejo and finally his last "friend" Rama.]] All in the name of [[AmbitionIsEvil ambition]] and revenge.
224* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:After Rama stabs him Uco grabs onto Rama, hugging him tightly and sobbing before finally the karambit is twisted. Giving him a rather pathetic death after all he's done.][
225* {{Deuteragonist}}: Of ''The Raid 2.'' Half of the movie's pivotal moments come with him as their instigator.
226* GroinAttack: After the karaoke hostess insulted him, he shoved a microphone into her skirt and threatens to rape her.
227* {{Patricide}}: [[spoiler:He shoots his father in the head after implicitly revealing his alliance with Bejo to him.]]
228* PostFinalBoss: Technically, Rama's last opponent, but compared to the Assassin, he goes down with little difficulty once Rama gets past his shotgun.
229* SmallNameBigEgo: PlayedWith. Overall, Uco is very well aware that his father commands respect, and he only reaps the benefits, but he wants to change that by building a name for himself. Eka accuses him of doing this in prison, throwing his weight around because he's the son of a powerful gangster, while Uco argues that, with enemies everywhere, it's necessary to use his reputation to gain allies.
230* SanitySlippage: He was already a {{Jerkass}} at the start, but he becomes even more unstable and uncontrollably violent thanks to Bejo's manipulations. [[spoiler:After murdering his father, he becomes permanently checked-out and can only respond to any presence he dislikes with violence.]]
231* SmugSnake: Not nearly as competent, cunning, or ruthless as he thinks he is. [[spoiler: Despite acting like a big player in the prison, he would have been assassinated if not for Rama's intervention. His first big plan is to secretly orchestrate a disastrous gang war at Bejo's behest, and when his father refuses to take the bait, Uco's outraged reaction quickly gives his involvement away. When he finally does kill his father so he can take over what's left of their organization, he's unable to look the man in the eye during his betrayal]].
232* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: In the finale of the film, he steals from midair a shotgun meant for Reza that Bejo had thrown and puts it to good use. [[spoiler: Blowing Reza's brains out point blank, and then finally turning it on Bejo. Shooting him in the leg, the shoulder, and finally finishing him off with a blast to the head. He was pretty close to taking down Rama, too.]]
233* UnwittingPawn: To both Bejo and Rama. Both men spend most of the movie trying to gain his trust, although Bejo is more explicit about actively manipulating him.
234* WouldHitAGirl: He grabs the hair of the karaoke hostess that insulted him and shoves a mic in her skirt, threatening to rape her. When the other hostess calls for security, he kicks her in the head.
235[[/folder]]
236
237[[folder:Eka]]
238
239->'''Played by:''' Oka Antara
240----
241* BattleButler: He serves a concierge role for Bangun and his gang, and when the chips are on the table, he's more than willing to get his hands dirty.
242* BadassDriver: In one of the film's biggest action scenes, a kneecapped Eka takes on Bejo's gang with a car and a machine pistol to free Rama. He does an impressive job tearing through them.
243* CarFu: Uses this liberally in the car chase scene, using precise maneuvers to take out Bejo's men, even doing some of them one-handed!
244* LawmanGoneBad: Late in the film, it's revealed that he was Rama's predecessor. Bunawar placed him as a spy within the gang but abandoned him when he gave little useful intel. That's what made him decide to defect to Bangun.
245* MoreDakka: His chosen weapon in the car chase is a machine pistol, which proves useful in perforating his opponents.
246* UndyingLoyalty: He believes in Bangun, and [[spoiler:after the police abandoned him he swore loyalty to the crime lord]]. When [[spoiler:Uco kills him]], Eka is outraged at his betrayal.
247
248[[/folder]]
249
250[[folder:Prakoso]]
251
252->'''Played by:''' Yayan Ruhian
253----
254* BeardOfSorrow: Yayan Ruhian grew out a large, scraggly beard for this role. It's not a BeardOfEvil, as all it does is show Prakoso as an unkempt homeless man. It further highlights his emotional scenes by showing how pitiful he looks. The beard also covers up Ruhian's distinctive Villainous Cheekbones.
255* ConfusionFu: While quite refined technically, his fighting style is crazy and erratic, and he uses some degree of improvisation.
256* DefiantToTheEnd: Prakoso sees The Assassin coming for him. However, instead of running, he meets him head-on and even tries to throw the first punch.
257* TheDragon: Tellingly, it isn't Eka or Uco that serves this role for Bangun. It's Prakoso, the most innocuous, unassuming, and (by far) the most lethal of the bunch.
258* {{Foil}}: To Rama. Both are very competent fighters but Prakoso is an aging assassin while Rama is a cop, relatively new to the force. They were both forced to leave their families behind due to their respective occupations. They both also can take on numerous opponents at the same time. However, Prakoso is eventually killed by Bejo’s top assassin when he is too exhausted to fight after fighting against numerous men. Rama is able to fight numerous men and continue to fight and [[spoiler: kill]] Bejo’s top three assassins: Baseball bat man, hammer girl, and the aforementioned assassin.
259* HonoraryUncle: His interactions and Uco's conversations with his father imply that Prakoso was this to Uco.
260* IdenticalStranger: He's played by the same actor who played Mad Dog.
261* ImprovisedWeaponUser: Capable of using anything that comes to hand as a weapon. As long as it's fairly solid or sharp, he can cause damage to it.
262* OneManArmy: Something like two dozen of Bejo's Mooks swarm him at the nightclub, most of them armed in some way. By the time The Assassin finally takes him down outside, he's taken down ''all of them''.
263* PintSizedPowerhouse: Like Mad Dog before him, Prakoso stands at 5'2'' and is easily one of the most powerful fighters around. However, unlike Mad Dog, there are fewer down-facing camera shots and scenes with him next to taller characters, so it's not as emphasized as it was in the first film.
264* ScreamingWarrior: Bellows some war cries in the club brawl.
265* TragicVillain: He was good at killing and not much else. He applies his trade as a mob assassin to help provide for his child. His wife detests him and his work and makes it clear she wants the child to grow up away from his father's bloody work. [[spoiler:And she gets her wish after he dies by the Assassin's hands]].
266* UndyingLoyalty: To Bangun. Uco and Bejo don't even ''try'' to corrupt or turn him as they know it would be futile.
267* WorfHadTheFlu: His death at the hands of The Assassin ''should'' be an example of [[TheWorfEffect the parent trope]], but considering Prakoso had just [[OneManArmy demolished twenty]] or so {{Mooks}} and [[DentedIron suffered severe injuries doing so]], [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome realistically]] this trope is definitely in play.
268* VillainousCheekbones: Averted. Yayan Ruhian's distinctive cheekbones are covered by his beard, which takes the edge off the character and gives him a less threatening visage.
269* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Uco betrays him to Bejo's assassins so he can provoke his father into declaring war with the Goto family.

271
272!!The Bejo Group
273
274[[folder:Bejo]]
275
276->'''Played by:''' Alex Abbad
277----
278* AmbiguousDisorder: Bejo displays almost [[LackOfEmpathy no emotion]] beyond [[SmugSnake smug satisfaction]], does many things throughout the movie in an ''extremely'' drawn-out, overly dramatic way (pushing the box cutter over to Uco, picking up the phone) and walks with an unexplained limp. Whether all this is due to some sort of behavioral disorder or something else is never explained.
279* BadBoss: [[spoiler: Gave the order]] for some of the inmates to kill Uco, he was in prison; if it weren't for Rama, they would have succeeded and offered up the men to be killed when they were released.
280* BigBad: Of the second movie. His ambitions get the plot rolling. He is the one who initiates the gang war and turns Uco against his father, and it's his minions that make up the main threats to Rama.
281* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler:How he meets his end. Uco shoots him with a shotgun twice, once on the leg and the other mangling his shoulder, then finally puts him down by by blowing his head open with a close shotgun blast]].
282* ConspicuousGloves: Much like his SinisterShades, Bejo always wears a pair of distinctive black gloves on his hands at all times, even when eating. In part [[spoiler: it's to help cover his gang tattoo]].
283* EvilCripple: He walks with a very noticeable limp, necessitating the use of a cane. He's also the sequel's BigBad, with several events having been either orchestrated or caused by him.
284* FauxAffablyEvil: Bejo likes to put on a gentlemanly air to better underscore his malice. At the start of the film, he has a brief chat about loyalty to Andi, all the while politely telling him to ignore the fact that his future executioner is loading a gun. He bargains with Uco in a calm and friendly tone as Uco slits the throats of the men Bejo offered up to him.
285* {{Gorn}}: [[spoiler:Like many characters in the film, he doesn't exactly go out cleanly. He takes a shotgun blast to the shoulder and to his skull. Both leave very grizzly wounds, with even the former getting a close-up while the third wound is seen from afar, yet it's safe to say half of his head has been blasted to bits.]]
286* NonActionBigBad: Like Tama in the first film, Bejo has no real combat ability to speak of, and his threat comes entirely from his underlings. Although, unlike Tama, when the fighting comes to him, he grabs a shotgun and starts blasting away.
287* HoistByHisOwnPetard: After Rama makes it through his gang's men and enforcers, Bejo arms himself with a shotgun and is about to give one to Reza, but [[spoiler:it was intercepted by Uco, who immediately blows Reza's brains out and shoots Bejo three times.]]
288* PsychoKnifeNut: Is quite unhinged, but the fact that the knife he carries is a boxcutter helps elevate his sadism.
289* SinisterShades: He's always wearing a very sinister set of sunglasses, even when indoors.
290* PsychoticSmirk: Sports one when Uco kills [[spoiler:his father]].
291* TattooedCrook: Uco realizes that Bejo ordered the attempt on the former’s life when Uco discovers that Bejo sports the same tattoo as one of the men that Uco killed when Bejo offered them up.

293
294[[folder:The Assassin]]
295
296->'''Played by:''' Cecep Arif Rahman
297----
298* BeardOfEvil: He's got a scruffy goatee, not as distinctive as most examples, but it does make him slightly more imposing, especially when contrasted to Prakoso's BeardOfSorrow.
299* ClimaxBoss: Rama's longest and most challenging fight is against the Assassin, prior to which it's revealed that Bejo ordered the hit on Uco in prison and has been manipulating him from the start.
300* CombatPragmatist: To contrast with Mad Dog, the Assassin, while enjoying a good fight, is first and foremost a professional hitman who prioritizes getting the job done. While no slouch in hand-to-hand combat, he's more deadly with his Karambits, which he'll break out if things stop going in his favor.
301* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: With Mad Dog. Both serve as enforcers to their respective {{BigBad}}s [[DragonInChief and more dangerous to boot]], with a few key differences. Mad Dog is an adrenaline junkie who loves to fight and kill his opponents with his bare hands; the Assassin is a professional killer who isn't interested in fair play and primarily fights with Karambits. Mad Dog is short in stature but extremely relentless; the Assassin is taller and goes for more precise attacks. While Mad Dog wouldn't resort to cheap tricks to win, the Assassin only ever humors a fair fight when he's confident he has the upper hand but is quick to break out the Karambits once things stop going his way.
302* TheDragon: He's Bejo's main hitman and most powerful agent. Much like Mad Dog he is the main threat to Rama.
303* DragonInChief: Far more dangerous than his boss and the one whom Rama shares a climactic fight with near the end of the film.
304* DualWielding: He carries a pair of Karambits, claw-like curved knives, which he uses to cut people's joints. They even have a special sheath on his back so he can easily pull them out when needed.
305* FacialHorror: By the time Rama is done with him in their final fight his face looks absolutely bloodied and swelling.
306* FinalBoss: Much like Mad Dog, the Assassin is the last obstacle between Rama and Bejo. His fight scene is the longest and most grueling challenge for Rama, and once he goes down, Bejo and Uco are more [[PostFinalBoss to tie things up]] than present a challenge.
307* {{Foil}}: He and Rama have their obvious differences, yet the two are also very similar in terms of appearance, clothing, and fighting style. In fact, when the two fight on even terms in the final act, it almost borders on a MirrorMatch. Especially when Rama gets one of the Assassin's knives, wherein the two look almost indistinguishable.
308* NeverBringAKnifeToAFistFight: PlayedWith. He utterly slaughters the unarmed and injured [[spoiler:Prakoso]] in his first scene. However, his fight with Rama plays with this. They're able to go at each other very well with their fists, but in the end, it's clear Rama has the upper hand. When he breaks out the Karambits, the fight gets much more bloody, and he wounds Rama considerably more than when he was without them, [[spoiler: and while Rama ends up winning, he had to take one of the karambits away from him first to kill him]].
309* NoNameGiven: He is only known as the Assassin.
310* NotSoInvincibleAfterAll: Until the finale, the Assassin curb stomps everyone he meets (even beating Rama when they first fought). Then, he goes up against a much more prepared Rama and is outclassed in the first two minutes. He has to break out his karambits to even the field.
311* SilentAntagonist: He never speaks a line of dialogue in the whole film.
312* SlashedThroat: How he's finally done in after suffering extensive injury in his climactic battle with Rama.
313* UseTheirOwnWeaponAgainstThem: His DualWielding of Karambits ultimately becomes his undoing, as the final fight between him and Rama has the latter taking one of his knives and using it against him until he finally dies.
314* WorfHadTheFlu: Does this twice to two strong fighters.
315** He defeats and kills Prakroso after the hitman has completely destroyed and killed countless mooks without breaking a sweat. But the Assassin engages him in a fight when Prakroso is severely injured and tired from all the fighting, and he is unarmed, whereas the Assassin has his karambits.
316** He floors Rama when he surprises him in their first fight, but when they fight on even terms, [[spoiler:Rama wins.]] Turns out the surprise attack really mattered.

319[[folder:Hammer Girl and Baseball Bat Man]]
320
321->'''Played by:''' Julie Estelle and Very Tri Yulisman.
322
323A SiblingTeam of killers that work with the Assassin for Bejo.
324----
325* AbusiveParents: According to WordOfGod, the two had an abusive father whom caused [[spoiler:Hammer Girl's scarred eye]]. His abusive ways and the two killing him for it were stated to be the reason why they are now psychopathic criminals.
326* BackToBackBadasses: This is a villainous example; the siblings employ it against Rama for all the good it does them.
327* BatterUp: The brother's weapon of choice and namesake is a metal baseball bat, which he uses very effectively. While he mainly uses the obvious swings in a fight, he also incorporates baseballs for ranged attacks, jabs with the tip, and even utilizes the grip to deliver blows.
328* BerserkButton: Throwing his ball away instead of giving it to him when he asks for it is a good way to piss him off. [[spoiler:Killing his sister also flies him into a rage]].
329* BigBrotherInstinct: It's not made clear which is the eldest, but the brother takes charge between him and his sister when they fight Rama, and once Hammer Girl is killed, he flies into a RoaringRampageOfRevenge that almost overwhelms Rama.
330* TheBrute: Both serve as this in Bejo's organization. While more skilled than most would be with their [[BatterUp weapons of choice]], they still boil down to caving in people's skulls and are less skilled and precise than the Assassin.
331* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Both the siblings face this when fighting Rama. [[spoiler: The sister gets her throat ripped out by her own claw hammers, and then the brother has his face caved in by his own metal baseball bat. Even when Rama lets go, and the brother's body falls down, ''the bat is still lodged to his face''.]]
332* DarkActionGirl: A vicious fighter, the Hammer Girl utterly brutalizes her opponents and digs her hammer claws into them to either rip skin out or just stab them. The director was particularly impressed by Julie Estelle's commitment to her training and all the muscle she put on for this part.
333* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The two siblings care for each other thanks to their abusive childhoods. [[spoiler:When Rama kills Hammer Girl, her brother absolutely loses it and nearly overpowers Rama in blind sibling rage.]]
334* EyeScream: The main reason why Hammer Girl wears large shades is [[spoiler: to cover her scars and one blind eye]]. According to WordOfGod this was caused by their parents.
335* HandicappedBadass: Hammer Girl is deaf and [[spoiler: blind in one eye]] but also one of Bejo's top fighters.
336* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The duo is killed by Rama with their own weapons.
337* ImprobableAimingSkills: For a batter, the brother is very precise when using baseballs to hit people.
338* InTheHood: Baseball Bat Man wears a hoodie and is usually seen having the hood up.
339* NoNameGiven: She and her brother don't have names and are primarily known for their weapons.
340* PsychopathicManchild: Gareth Evans describes the siblings as such, being described as being childish in their mannerisms as a result of their upbringing. Hammer Girl is even described as a violent child in an adult's body with scenes like where she is dozing off, then her brother needs to wake her up and she almost forgets her hammers is meant to convey this. For Baseball Batman, the director states that when he whacks his baseballs at his enemies and then asks for the ball back is both to partly taunt them and also asking them to give them back to him.
341* SiblingTeam: The duo is a tight-knit pair of siblings. While they can fight independently, they are also capable of fighting together, as shown when Rama encounters them.
342* SinisterShades: Hammer girl wears a very large pair of sunglasses at all times. They help heighten her unemotive and stoic appearance as well as cover up [[spoiler: her disfigured eye]].
343* SwordDrag: When approacing some of the Yakuza, the brother drags his baseball bat against the concrete floor for intimidation factor before using it.

366* WinsByDoingAbsolutelyNothing: When the gang war erupts, Keiichi takes a number of gangsters to confront Bejo's gang, only to find that Rama's defeated all of them. With Bangun's gang similarly defeated, the Goto Family has won the Turf War without ever having to do anything. Keiichi, for his part, makes a point not to engage the one-man army that is Rama and may have offered him a job at the end.
