13	!!Jim
14	->'''Played By:''' Creator/CillianMurphy
15
16	A bicycle courier who lived in Deptford, London with his parents. While running a delivery to an address somewhere across the city, a car cut in front of Jim's bike and caused him to crash, putting him into a coma. 28 days later, Jim woke up and the entire city was empty due to an outbreak of the Rage Virus.
17	----
18	* ActionSurvivor: It takes him a little while to get up to speed, but after a few days he's wielding a baseball bat like a champ. A few days after that, he's taking out a squad of soldiers.
19	* AdrenalineMakeover: Coupled with ImportantHaircut. Getting rid of his coma-hair shows he's kicking it up a notch.
20	* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's sweet. And then some people decide to repopulate the earth using his friends.
21	* ButtMonkey: Even in [[CrapsackWorld this world]], Jim has a tough time of it.
22	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Perhaps 'moron' isn't the right word. But Jim is quite bumbling at first and makes a litany of careless mistakes. But he proves when he's pushed to the limit that he is a rather formidable opponent.
23	* DeadpanSnarker: Jim can be quite snarky.
24	-->''"Oh, great. Valium. Not only will we be able to go to sleep, if we get attacked in the middle of the night, we won't even care."''
25	-->''"World's worst place to get a flat, huh?"''
26	-->''"No, no. No, see, this is a really shit idea. You know why? Because it's really obviously a shit idea."''
27	* TheEveryman: Until he finds his inner Badass.
28	* EyeScream: [[spoiler:How he kills Cpl. Mitchell.]]
29	* FinalBattleInducedShirtLoss: Loses his shirt after he escapes his execution and goes through his whole attack on the soldiers shirtless.
30	* TheLoad: At first. He gets better.
31	* MirrorCharacter: He shows himself to be capable of the same brutality as the Infected.
32	* MusclesAreMeaningless: A very slender, almost scrawny young man, yet has no problems overpowering trained soldiers with his bare hands.
33	* NakedOnArrival: How he wakes up from his coma.
34	* NiceGuy: Compassionate, kinda, and is shaken up over needing to kill an infected child. [[BewareTheNiceOnes However, when needed]], [[spoiler:[[BewareTheNiceOnes he can be just as brutal as the infected, as West's men learned the hard way]].]]
35	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: His callow and careless actions [[spoiler: ''directly'' result in Mark's death.]]
36	* OnlyOneName: His surname is never revealed.
37	* TookALevelInBadass: Over the course of the film, he goes from a confused courier to an Infected-killing badass who runs circles around a group of soldiers.
38	* ThrowingOffTheDisability: Whatever landed him in the coma, it doesn't affect him on his journey to becoming far, far more badass.
39	* WouldHurtAChild: {{Justified\|Trope}}, because he had to. He's pretty shaken up over it.

42	[[folder:Selena]]
43	!!Selena
44	->'''Played By:''' Creator/NaomieHarris
45
46	A young woman who lived in London. During the outbreak of the Rage Virus, Selena's family was killed and she hid in a barricaded shop in the London Underground with another survivor named Mark. Selena adopted a more serious attitude towards the current situation and believed "staying alive's as good as it gets". She is a qualified pharmacist and obviously has a measure of medical training.
47	----
48	* ActionSurvivor: She's a chemist (pharmacist for Americans), and she's survived the apocalypse for a month.
49	* BadassLongcoat: She meets Jim wearing a gas mask and a really awesome coat.
50	* BigSisterInstinct: After [[spoiler: Frank dies]], she tells Jim that she doesn't want Hannah to cope, she wants her to be safe and well. Later, when she realizes that she [[spoiler: can't fight the soldiers off, she settles for drugging Hannah so she won't be so traumatized]].
51	* BrokenBird: She's lived in hell while Jim slept through it. She is ''not'' a happy camper.
52	* BrutalHonesty: She tells Jim in no uncertain terms that she will not hesitate to kill him or leave him behind if need be.
53	* DefrostingIceQueen: She slowly warms up to Jim, then even more with Hannah and Frank.
54	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Her brutal take down of [[spoiler: Mark]] after she realizes he might be infected. This was someone that she's probably been through hell with and Selena doesn't hesitate for a second once she thinks that [[spoiler: Mark]] might turn.
55	* FireForgedFriends: With Mark pre-film, but especially with Jim, Hannah, and Frank.
56	* JerkassHasAPoint: You don't survive in this apocalyptic world by being soft.
57	** Her unhesitating dispatch of [[spoiler: Mark]] when he gets infected comes off as really cold-blooded, but she is right when she says he was fucked and they both knew it.
58	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She was a nice and normal woman before the outbreak, and is only as hard as she is because of the situation. Her kinder side shows itself as time goes on.
59	* TheMedic: Her job before the outbreak, which comes in handy in the new, post-outbreak world. She has her own personal stash of Valium to help her "not care" about her situation.
60	* ScaryBlackWoman: Although a heroic version, Selena's ruthlessness can be very scary.
61	[[/folder]]
62
63	[[folder:Hannah]]
64	!!Hannah
65	->'''Played By:''' Megan Burns
66
67	The daughter of Frank. When the virus broke out, she and her father barricaded themselves into their apartment. When they ran out of water they were forced to find another place with Jim and Selena.
68	----
69	* ActionSurvivor: She's definitely not a trained fighter, but she manages to be resourceful enough to survive to the end.
70	* AdrenalineMakeover: She's just a young teenage girl who is understandably terrified by the circumstances, but she manages to [[spoiler:take out several soldiers with a car]] near the end after being subjected to attempted rape.
71	* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Averted, thankfully, and it makes sense in the context that this is a very, very scary post-apocalyptic world.
72	* CarFu: How she takes out West and some other soldiers.
73	* CreepyMonotone: While out of her mind on Valium.
74	* DaddysGirl: Her mother isn't mentioned but, given that she only has her father in the world, this is understandable.
75	* TheDogBitesBack: When the soldiers are planning to rape her and [[spoiler:Jim thankfully intervenes]], Hannah joins in with him.
76	* LittleMissBadass: She's a very young teenager in a post-apocalyptic world.
77	* MissingMom: Nothing is said about her mother.
78	* MoralityChain: For Frank. Although he is an ''extremely'' NiceGuy, Hannah is his whole reason to live even in a zombie-infested CrapsackWorld.
79	* MoralityPet: For Selena. Selena is (also understandably) very, very hardened by her circumstances, but when she breaks down and tells Jim that she wants Hannah to be happy, it's the major step on the "defrosting" part of DefrostingIceQueen.
80	* TookALevelInBadass: After her father dies, especially once the soldiers attack her.
81	* WrenchWench: Hannah can drive. This doesn't seem especially notable, except that she's about fourteen.
82	* WiseBeyondTheirYears: A realistic example.
83	[[/folder]]
84
85	[[folder:Frank]]
86	!!Frank
87	->'''Played By:''' Creator/BrendanGleeson
88
89	A cabdriver in London who lived with his wife and daughter Hannah in an apartment block near the center of the city. When the Rage Virus broke out, his wife was killed, but Frank was able to barricade the apartment complex and use salvaged police equipment to fight the Infected.
90	----
91	* ActionSurvivor: Frank ''will'' attack any of the Infected he has to.
92	* TheDeterminator: Mostly for his daughter, Hannah.
93	* DriverOfABlackCab: Averted and parodied in a deleted scene.
94	* TheHeart: Manages to still hold onto some form of decency in the face of the world hitting rock-bottom.
95	* NiceGuy: Happily takes in Jim and Selena, and is generally a jovial fellow in spite of all of the horrible things happening around him.
96	* PapaWolf: Even leaving everything else aside, his first instinct when he realizes he's infected and has seconds before turning is to apologize to Hannah for shouting at her.
97	* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: He's both. He's a total badass who can take charge, but he's a loving father, knows his wine, and appreciates the beauty that's still in the world.
98	* StepfordSmiler: A fairly unique example. For the sake of his beloved daughter, he puts on a happy, cheerful face while keeping his own optimism alive. When speaking privately to Jim, he expresses more uncertainty. He also has a short-lived blow-up when [[spoiler:the soldiers don't appear to be at the blockade]]. However, he quickly gets over this [[spoiler:due to his sudden unfair infection]] and apologizes to Hannah for shouting around her.
99	* TeamDad: Takes Jim and Selena in like they're his own.

102	[[folder:Mark]]
103	!!Mark
104	->'''Played By:''' Noah Huntley
105
106	-->''"OK, Jim. I've got some bad news."''
107
108	A young man who lived in London with his parents and sister. During the outbreak of the Rage Virus, Mark survived and hid in a barricaded shop in the London Underground with Selena.
109	----
110	* ActionSurvivor: Got through the first 28 days, no problem. Jim's arrival changes that.
111	* DeadpanSnarker: Has a very dry wit. It's not too hard to imagine given the state of the world he lives in.
112	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He’s snarky and callous, but he has a wonderfully touching monologue about his family during the infection.
113	-->''"My...parents and my sister, we went to Paddington Station, hoping maybe we could get on a plane, maybe we could buy our way onto a plane. I remember my dad had all this cash, even though cash was completely useless. About 20,000 other people had the same idea. Crowd was surging. I lost my grip on my sister's hand. I remember the ground was soft. I looked down and I was standing on all these people. Like a carpet. People who had fallen and...somewhere in the crowd there were Infected. It spread fast. No one could run. All you could do was climb. Climb over more people. So I did that. I climbed. And I got up on top of this kiosk. Looking down, you couldn't tell which faces were infected and which weren't. Then I saw my dad. Not my mum or my sister. My dad. His face...Selena's right. You should be grateful."''
114	* NothingIsScarier: The way Mark describes his father's presumed infection (quoted above) is as terrifying as anything we see in the movie.
115	* WeHardlyKnewYe: When Selena sees the bite on his arm, she immediately kills him.
116	* ZombieInfectee: Got bitten by an infected person.

119	!Soldiers
120
121	[[folder:West]]
122	!!Major Henry West
123	->'''Played By:''' Creator/ChristopherEccleston
124
125	-->''"This is what I've seen in the four weeks since infection: people killing people."''
126
127	A veteran in the British Army. During the original outbreak of Rage, West and his brigade of 800 soldiers are tasked to protect Manchester and keep the Infected out by manning the M602 Blockade, which becomes the only entrance into Manchester. After the death or infection of nearly all in his command and the fall of Manchester to the Infected, West is driven insane by what he has seen.
128	----
129	* AffablyEvil: He zigzags between this and FauxAffablyEvil. West comes across as very genial, reasonable and well-composed. Ultimately, however, this turns out to not be the case.
130	* AFatherToHisMen: West is extremely protective of his 'boys'.[[spoiler: A dark deconstruction, it's implied this trait is what drove him to insanity and, eventually, villainy.]]
131	* AmbiguouslyGay: West is very touchy feely with his men, especially Jim, but seems to have no interest in raping Hannah or Selena. It may be the case that this is EvenEvilHasStandards, but it's ambiguous.
132	* BigBad: The main human villain.
133	* DissonantSerenity: [[spoiler: The first hint there is something seriously wrong with him.]] He delivers the news to Jim that [[spoiler: he plans to allow his men to rape Selena and Hannah]] with the same emotional gravitas as somebody ordering Chinese takeout, and he is shown to casually sip tea above the steps of his mansion headquarters in between bouts of slaughtering infected.
134	* DoubleMeaning: [[spoiler: A lot of what he says is eventually revealed to have sinister undertones. When he's talking about Mailer, he describes how he got infected and locked away 2 days prior to Jim, Selena and Hannah's arrival and Mailer's is now futureless as a result of his infection. When he explains to Jim about the sex slave plan, West states that he caught Jones attempting to commit suicide 3 days ago because he lost all hope in having a future. From then on, West decided to create a sex slave solution to prove that the future wasn't ''futureless''.]]
135	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: West genuinely loves his men, [[spoiler:which is actually part of the reason he's willing to let them rape a fourteen-year-old girl.]]
136	* EvilCounterpart: Like Frank and Jim's father, West is a very protective TeamDad figure for the men under his command. Unlike Frank and Jim's father, however, [[spoiler: he considers raping women the only way to go forwards.]]
137	* FallenHero: [[spoiler: [[StartOfDarkness It's implied losing his entire command sans the handful of soldiers that we meet has]] [[DrivenToMadness driven him to madness]]. Before that, he was presumably a distinguished military officer, though in the comics, Selena suggests that there was something wrong with him from the beginning if he was willing to go to such monstrous extremes so quickly.]]
138	* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: [[spoiler: By capturing women and turning them into sex slaves, West believes he's providing hope to his men after stopping Jones from committing suicide in a fit of despair after the massacre at the M602 Blockade; in the comics, however, Selena points out that it didn't take long for West to conjure up this plan and he was likely just looking for an excuse to fulfil his misogynistic agenda.]]
139	* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:He's killed by Mailer, an infected soldier he sadistically left to starve to death in the courtyard. His death was also caused by Hannah, a girl he planned to have raped as part of his plan for the future.]]
140	* MaddenIntoMisanthropy: He has very low views of the human race and believes the fight against the infected is nothing new since people have been fighting and killing long before the Rage Virus ever took place.
141	* ManipulativeBastard: He's less infantile than most of the men under his command are and knows how to turn the charm on. He might even seem normal. [[spoiler: [[SanitySlippage He's not]].]]
142	* OfficerAndAGentleman: Part of the image he projects. He might've been one before the outbreak, but he definitely isn't now.
143	* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler: His plan to repopulate the country and prove there is a future for the men and himself involves women being raped and becoming sex slaves for the soldiers. This comes across as especially unnecessary since the UK is actually just quarantined and the rest of the world was able to evade the infection. Selena further points out in the comics that he was only looking for an excuse to act out his depravity due to the relatively short amount of time it took for him to fall into madness.]]
144	* PapaWolf: Brutal he may be, but he genuinely does care for the soldiers under his command. When Jim kills them, he takes the gloves off.
145	* PetTheDog: In a rather twisted example, [[spoiler:he offers Jim a chance to live and join him instead of being executed. A more straightforward example is when he comforts Jones before he dies]].
146	* RevengeBeforeReason: He claims to be keeping the infected Mailer chained up outside so he can study how to kill the infected. He does learn the infected starve to death as a result of neglecting their basic needs but he now chooses to endanger his squad by keeping Mailer alive. It's likely that he keeps Mailer alive as a form of personal revenge for losing so many soldiers to the infected at the Forty-Second Blockade.
147	* SanitySlippage: The apocalypse has not had a good effect on his sanity in general. He slips even worse when Jim kills several of his soldiers.
148	* StepfordSmiler: Although which type he qualifies as is somewhat ambiguous, depending on whether you think he was driven to madness by the infected, or if he always had such darkness in him, or if he's actually doing this all for his men as he claims.
149	* SociopathicSoldier: Of the ‘broken’ variety. It’s clear by his monologue about ‘people killing people’ that he’s thoroughly disillusioned by the world, and his disillusionment has twisted him into a monster.
150	* TheUnfettered: [[spoiler: He'll do anything to repopulate the country and to prove that there is a future for his men, to the point that he's blinded himself to the possibility that there's no point in repopulation.]]
151	* VillainWithGoodPublicity: [[spoiler:In the comics; Jim is arrested and executed for killing Major West and the 8 soldiers because West's plan was never publically revealed.]]
152	* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler:Talking about him reveals one of the major plot twists in the movie and the film's final third act.]]

155	[[folder:Farrell]]
156	!!Sergeant Farrell
157	->'''Played By:''' Stuart [=McQuarrie=]
158
159	A veteran soldier of the British Army and serves as Major Henry West's second-in-command.
160	----
161	* DefectorFromDecadence: [[spoiler:Farrell is disgusted by how far the other soldiers have slipped into savagery and draws the line at their plans to rape Hannah and Selena.]]
162	* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler:Tells Mitchell to basically go fuck himself, and distracts him and Jones from Jim escaping.]]
163	* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler: He shows no fear at his execution and refuses to give Mitchell the satisfaction of seeing him breakdown or beg for his life.]]
164	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Pulls one to give Jim a chance to escape.]]
165	* HiddenDepths: He takes a surprisingly philosophical perspective on the apocalypse, and he's the only member of the entire squad to protest Mitchell's boorish attitude towards Selena.
166	* IronicName: Farrell sounds a lot like ''feral.'' [[spoiler:He's the only soldier that ''isn't'' a savage.]]
167	* OnlySaneMan: [[spoiler:Quite literally, given West had gone insane and the other soldiers are [[PsychopathicManchild petulant manchildren]].]]
168	* SanityHasAdvantages:
169	** As the OnlySaneMan, he's actually the group's only competent commander, with his skills outstretching even Major West - to the point that it's Farrell that that organises the defense of the base when the infected attacked, not West. [[spoiler: After he is killed, [[AHouseDivided the whole group falls apart]] [[CurbStompBattle and are all killed]] [[EpicFail in under a few hours.]]]]
170	** For good measure, he can clearly see the one part of the big picture that West and the others are psychologically blind to: [[spoiler: the infection hasn't escaped the United Kingdom - and likely ''couldn't'', given the rapid incubation period - so the rest of the world is continuing as normal, meaning that West's plan to repopulate the Earth is meaningless.]]
171	* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:To show the kind of people the other soldiers ''really'' are. Though, considering he saves Jim, who later saves Selena and Hannah and considering [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge what Jim does to the rest of the soldiers while he's at it]], he does manage to go out with much more dignity than his 'comrades' and his heroism will likely be vindicated by Jim, Selena, and Hannah when they are all finally rescued.]]
172	* TokenGoodTeammate: He's the only member of the squad with a definite moral compass [[spoiler:and to the end of his life tries to protect Selena and Hannah from West and his men, even sacrificing his life to save Jim so that he has a chance to save the girls]].
173	* WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler:Calls out Jones for allowing Mitchell to kill him cruelly and painfully rather than just shooting him. [[PetTheDog Jones at least has the decency to agree and shoot him before Mitchell has his chance.]]]]
174	[[/folder]]
175
176	[[folder:Mitchell]]
177	!!Corporal Mitchell
178	->'''Played By:''' Ricci Harnett
179
180	A vulgar, cocky, and insensitive soldier under Major Henry West's command. He is sarcastic and cruel to virtually everyone he meets, seeming to have a particularly bitter rivalry with one of his two remaining superiors, Sergeant Farrell.
181	----
182	* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:He's the most eager about the prospect of forcing women to become sex slaves and is proven to be the most sadistic of the soldiers. Fittingly, he gets the most brutal and graphic death of all of them as Jim gouges out his eyes after beating him against the wall.]]
183	* AxCrazy: He's all too gleeful at the notion of [[spoiler:raping Selena, and wants to kill Farrell with his bayonet, that latter of which even Jones objects to]].
184	* TheBully: Particularly to Jones.
185	* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler: For all his macho posturing, his fight with Jim is a completely one-sided beatdown with Mitchell on the receiving end and culminating in his gruesome demise.]]
186	* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler: Has his head smashed in and eyes painfully gouged out by Jim. Given how vile he'd been prior, it's very gratifying to see.]]
187	* DeadpanSnarker: Gets a few insulting remarks in, mainly towards Jones.
188	* DirtyCoward: His arrogance and sadism vanish the moment he's faced with an actual threat at which point he hides and uses a woman as a human shield.
189	* EyeScream: [[spoiler:Jim kills him by gouging out his eyes. And it is '''''glorious'''''.]]
190	* HateSink: [[spoiler:He's the worst of the soldiers due to his sadism and sexism. He's also the most enthusiastic about turning women into sex slaves which makes Jim beating him up and killing him by pushing his eyeballs in all the more satisfying.]]
191	* {{Jerkass}}: Aggressive, violent, bullying, and smug.
192	* MilesGloriosus: He struts around like he's a tough guy but when faced with infected, he runs with his tail between his legs, uses Selina as a human shield, and is utterly useless in an actual fight, getting bested and killed by [[spoiler:Jim]], a regular civilian.
193	* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: He gleefully announces how much he'd like to rape Selina brutally, claiming he'll "make her squirm".
194	* {{Sadist}}: Gets off on hurting others, he even wants to [[spoiler:bayonet Farrell to death when he's charged with executing him and Jim]] just because they hate each other.
195	* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: [[spoiler: He does this as his eyes are being gouged out by Jim.]]
196	* SmallNameBigEgo: Clearly fancies himself as a tough-as-nails soldier in the vein of {{Franchise/Rambo}}. In reality, he's nothing more than a smug, cowardly sadist who's utterly useless at anything but cruelty.
197	* SmugSnake: He's not a tenth as tough or clever as he thinks he is, and ''oozes'' self-satisfaction in the most grating way possible.
198	* SociopathicSoldier: Mitchell is a sadistic piece of walking shit who wears a big grin when he's getting ready to do something horrible.
199	* WouldHurtAChild: It's heavily implied he plans to brutally rape Hannah as well as Selina.

202	[[folder:Jones]]
203	!!Private Jones
204	->'''Played By:''' Leo Bill
205
206	-->'''West:''' Jones, our resident tin opener.
207
208	A young, inexperienced soldier. He serves as the cook for the group.
209	----
210	* AlasPoorVillain: Although he never had any qualms with [[spoiler:luring women to the mansion to rape them, his constant mistreatment and general instability warrant him at least some pity when Jim bayonets him. It doesn't help that West comforts him when he finds him dying on the doorstep.]]
211	* TheBabyOfTheBunch: He's the youngest of the soldiers and is hazed by the others for being the rookie, as they make him do the unfavourable task of preparing food for them. [[spoiler:His near-suicide was the thing that motivated West to find a way to boost morale and promise a future to his despairing soldiers. He was also the one whom West comforted during his final moments.]]
212	* BitchInSheepsClothing: Jones is timid, unconfident, and a likeable enough fellow that you can almost forget that [[spoiler:he plans on gangraping a 14-year-old girl.]]
213	* ButtMonkey: He's delegated to TeamChef duties despite having no talent, bullied and taunted by his supposed comrades, and [[spoiler:ultimately meets a horrible death]].
214	* DeathByIrony: [[spoiler:He shot Farrell before Mitchell could bayonet him... and later gets bayoneted by Jim.]]
215	* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:3 days prior to Jim, Selena, and Hannah's arrival, West found him with a gun in mouth preparing to pull the trigger. West was able to stop him in time and told Jones about his plan to create a future in order to stop Jones and the other soldiers killing themselves.]]
216	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Is horrified that Mitchell wants to make [[spoiler:Farrell's]] death slow and excruciating, and wants to simply shoot him instead.
217	--> '''Jones:''' Mitch, just use the gat.
218	--> '''Mitchell:''' Why?
219	--> '''Jones:''' Because it's fucking ''quicker!''
220	* ExtremeDoormat: He's a bit of a pussy and easily pushed around by the other, more aggressive soldiers.
221	* LethalChef: Jones is no kind of chef, preparing an omelette with eggs that have long gone bad but figuring that if he used enough salt it would hide the flavor.
222	-->'''West:''' Jones, did you notice while cooking that these eggs were off?
223	-->'''Jones:''' I thought the salt might cover the taste, sir.
224	* ManChild: Although in his (slight) defence, he is very young, and seems much younger than the other soldiers.
225	* MoralityPet: [[spoiler:Jones is this for Major West, as shown by how West is the only one to respect him. Jones' near-suicide was the act that motivated West to promise the soldiers sex slaves so they can repopulate the country. He did this to boost morale and provide a future to Jones and the other soldiers.]]
226	* NervousWreck: He seems to be constantly on the verge of a breakdown.
227	* NothingLeftToDoButDie: [[spoiler:After surviving the attack at Forty-Second Blockade and being isolated at the new base, Jones attempted to take his own life after coming to the conclusion that life is "futureless". West was able to stop him and he now uses Jones' near-suicide as motivation for his plans for the future.]]
228	* PetTheDog:
229	** Shoots [[spoiler:Farrell]] [[MercyKill dead before Mitchell can torture him.]]
230	** On the receiving end: [[spoiler: while Jones is dying from his wounds, West holds his hand as a form of comfort.]]
231	* RealMenWearPink: Wears a pink apron while cooking... and fighting infected.
232	* ShrinkingViolet: Jones is easily bullied, timid and shy.
233	* TeamChef: But not a particularly good one.
234	* TearsOfFear: While hiding from the Infected, he's blubbering in utter terror.
235	* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Downplayed, because he's perfectly willing to go along with [[spoiler:West's plan to lure in women and rape them, but it was his BungledSuicide that set the plan in motion]].
236	* WantsAPrizeForBasicDecency: During the first Infected attack on the manor, Jones is so astonished that he actually managed to kill one of the invading horde - under circumstances in which it'd be hard ''not'' to score a confirmed kill - that he stops to tell Mitchell about it. Mitchell is not amused.
237	-->'''Jones:''' Mick, I fucking got one!

244
245	A highly dangerous infected soldier that Major West keeps chained up in the courtyard to see how long it takes the infected to starve to death.

247	* ChekhovsGun: A subtle one, but he pukes up blood when Jim and West are observing him. This comes into play later when he pukes on one of the soldiers, infecting him and turning him into one of the creatures.
248	* DefectorFromDecadence: Its very possible given West's rather cruel way of killing him (chaining him up while infected, leaving him exposed to the elements and letting him slowly starve to death) that Mailer was one of few soldiers (alongside Farrell) that disagreed with the plan to bring in survivors as sex slaves.
249	* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: A black man chained up outside an English manor house? It's because he's infected, but still.
250	* TheDogBitesBack: Prior to the events of the movie, Mailer was infected with the rage virus and, rather than kill him, West chose to chain him in the courtyard for study. West was able to learn that the infected neglect their basic needs and can starve to death with enough time. West now keeps the infected Mailer alive as a form of personal revenge against the infected for losing so many of his fellow soldiers at the Forty-Second Blockade. [[spoiler:When Jim is able to kill the remaining 8 soldiers, West ambushes him and shoots him in order to avenge his men. Hannah was able to kill Major West by reversing the car into Mailer, who broke through the back window and dragged the screaming Major West out of the back seat and beat him to death.]]
251	* ScaryBlackMan: Although he's not really responsible for it; he's a black soldier who was infected pre-film.

266	* AntiVillain: [[spoiler: Though he agrees with West's plan to have any woman kept as sex slaves, he does seem not to take pleasure in it unlike Mitchell and some of the others, he even helps Selena by telling the others that they should leave her and Hannah alone while he gives out a sad look at Hannah knowing that he and the others are going too far with this.]]
