[[folder:Rebecca]]
!!Rebecca Locke/Becky George
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/locke_rebecca_9090.jpg]]
->'''Played By:''' Creator/RachelNichols

The rookie field agent brought in by Web, who wishes to use her gift to his advantage. She is able to put herself in the shoes of the victims, since she was one herself. This makes her excellent at getting inside the mind of a killer.
----
* ActionSurvivor: Since she was a little kid.
* AloneWithThePsycho: It happens pretty frequently, due to her lack of instinct for self-preservation.
-->'''Mel:''' I'm just saying..."Girl to Grab" isn't just Volume Four of some encyclopedia, it's Rebecca's life. She gets taken - like it's a hobby.
-->'''Danny:''' It ''is'' on the freaky side of often...
* BadassInDistress: With some frequency. When she's kidnapped or held at gunpoint, she tends to stay cool and collected. She also tends to gets herself out of trouble.
* ButtMonkey: Rebecca's life as been an almost unending train of misery, starting with being kidnapped as a child. She has no life outside of her work and Web continues to push her to breaking point either as part of a grand plan or his own sadistic amusement.
* BrokenBird: Her kidnapping as a child (and whatever the kidnapper did to her) has strongly affected every aspect of her life. Rebecca is obsessive, socially stunted and a workaholic with seemingly no hobbies or even family connections.
* ConsummateLiar: Put her in a diner with her co-workers and she'll stammer like she's in an exam and hasn't studied. Put her in front of an unsub and she'll play him or her like a harp with laments of how lonely and traumatized (and, in one case, fat) she is. Played with; given her background and the way she behaves, it doesn't seem like ''all'' of her weeping about being lonely is lies...
* DamselInDistress She is constantly being abducted and threatened by the killers her units finds.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Rebecca was kidnapped by some lunatic as a child and held by him for months. It's unclear what happened to her, but it was deeply traumatic. Physical and sexual abuse are vaguely suggested, but it's even more heavily implied that what he did to her was ''even worse''.
* FauxActionGirl: Rebecca is apparently very handy in a fight, but it's barely ever shown with how often killers and kidnappers get the drop on her.
* TheHero: The most prominent member of the unit, and the protagonist.
* LittleMissBadass: As a child, she ''set her kidnapper on fire''.
%%* MsFanservice
* NoSocialSkills: Rebecca is perfectly capable of forging social connections and has a high level of empathy, but is utterly pathetic when it comes to small talk or comforting others. Social situations seem to alarm her.
* TheSoulless: WordOfGod describes her as a person with "no inside."
* TheWorkaholic

[[folder:Web]]
!!Virgil "Web" Webster
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/webster_virgil_8489.jpg]]
->'''Played By:''' Creator/PeterCoyote

The supervisor. He is not married as far as we can tell. He chose his squad based on their secrets, their weaknesses and their strengths. He is known to push his agents to the max, especially Agent Locke, much to the disgust of Agent Ryan. He is also known to bend the rules or justify actions.
----
* AmbiguouslyEvil: There's a distinct possibility that he was a [[spoiler:serial killer]] in the past or present.
* AntiHero: He only escapes VillainProtagonist status for two reasons - he works for the good guys and [[spoiler: it's never confirmed if he is or was in the past, a serial killer.]]
%%* BadassInANiceSuit
* BetterTheDevilYouKnow: Rebecca and Paul comment that having him as a boss is a much better option than having him loose in the world with nothing to occupy his time.
* TheChessmaster: He is always ahead of the killers, and usually, of the other officers.
* ClearMyName: In an odd way. He's guilty of many things, but innocent of others.
* CoolOldGuy: Despite being older, he's usually the one who rescues Rebecca.
* DeadpanSnarker: Very, very, very deadpan.
* EvilMentor: To Rebecca and to the unit in general, even if he isn't an actual [[spoiler:serial killer]], he's still extremely manipulative and mistreats them.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: We don't know how far past this line Web is, but it's safe to say he's been this for a long time.
* ManipulativeBastard: Even if he's a heroic version, he still relentlessly abuses and mistreats Rebecca's already-fragile mental state, never mind his treatment of killers.
* PragmaticHero: Web is willing to do whatever it takes to solve a case, even if it means disregarding a kidnapping victim's mental health and withholding info from his team.
* TricksterMentor: An especially dark version to the unit, as he appears to have little concern for Rebecca's health and is willing to go to whatever lengths necessary, even planting evidence.
%%* TheSmartGuy
* VillainProtagonist: If you ascribe to the theory that [[spoiler: Web is a serial killer and is training Rebecca to become one. Or [[CreateYourOwnVillain training her to catch him.]]]]

[[folder:Paul]]
!!Paul Ryan
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ryan_paul_3631.jpg]]
->'''Played By:''' Creator/JayHarrington

A young, married agent who Web chose to be his 'conscience'. Idealistic and kind, he sees things in black and white. He is often paired up with Agent Locke, which leads him to discover her past secret. On more than one occasion, he and Web have clashed based on differing principles.
----
* TookALevelInBadass: Alongside with getting morally challenged by Web and the horrible cases he sees.
%%* BadassInANiceSuit
* BigBrotherInstinct: Towards Rebecca though Danny thinks that Paul really [[DeclarationOfProtection just wants Rebecca for himself]].
* TheConscience: Web lampshades word-by-word that this is the role he plays for Web.
%%* DeadpanSnarker
* HappilyMarried: To his pregnant wife Karen.
%%* TheHeart
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Becomes gradually corrupted during the Billy Ray Pope case.
* ItsPersonal: In "Thief of Hearts" & "Aiden".
* TheLancer: As he's usually paired with the hero, Rebecca.
* NiceGuy: His job is to be this, although he genuinely is.
* TenMinuteRetirement: In "Thief of Hearts."
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: [[spoiler:Paul would sit by and allow Nate Laid to kill Zoya Pettkof and Billy Ray Pope, because Pope isn't a good man and Pope's manipulations indirectly lead to Karen losing their unborn child in a car accident.]]

[[folder:Danny]]
!!Danny Love
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/love_daniel_8611.jpg]]
->'''Played By:''' Creator/AdamBaldwin

----

!!Melody "Mel" Sim
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sim_melody_5285.jpg]]
->'''Played By:''' Katie Finneran

A quick-witted, intelligent and friendly agent who often mourns her lack of social life and shares a friendship with Danny.
----

* TheLoad: Doesn't add much to the group in terms of skill.
* OutOfFocus: She has no centric episode.
* PlatonicLifePartners: With Danny.
