Past Characters

The Cretaceous Period

Gertrude

Species: Tyrannosaurus rex

Appearances: Legends of Tomorrow

A Tyrannosaurus rex that Ray made an enemy of when trapped in the Cretaceous.

Anachronism Stew: The Waverider crashed 70, million years ago, several million years before the appearance of Tyrannosaurus rex.
Animal Nemesis: Made life hell for Ray due to him stealing her eggs.
Artistic License – Paleontology: Like most depictions in fiction, she's featherless and has exposed teeth. Like real dinosaurs, however, she's clearly warm-blooded, and active during the winter.
Fluffy the Terrible: A seven-ton superpredator named Gertrude, or Gertie for short.
Mama Bear: Hates Ray due to his stealing one of her eggs to eat.
Misplaced Wildlife: The climate of her environment indicates somewhere in northern Canada or Alaska, rather than the Montana flood plains that T. rex favored.
Outliving One's Offspring: Ray ate some of her eggs, which is the reason why she hates him so much.
Prehistoric Monster: Subverted, as Amaya points out, she's an animal, and won't attack without reason. Too bad Ray majorly pissed her off.
Shout-Out: Her name is one to Gertie the Dinosaur, one of the first works of animation.

Mr. Sneezums

Species: Sabertooth tiger

Appearances: Legends of Tomorrow

A sabertooth tiger that found himself time-displaced in 1870 and became an attraction at P.T. Barnum's Museum of Freaks.

Ambiguous Gender: Before using his Shrink Ray on it, Ray wonders wether it's a male or a female because it could affect the outcome. However, Amaya later uses male pronouns to describe him and Ray calls him "Mister Sneezum" at the end, so he appears to be indeed male.
The Bus Came Back: Possibly. A similar-looking sabertooth tiger appears briefly when Nate and Gary time-travel to 760,000 BC in the Season 4 episode "Dancing Queen", but it's unknown if it's the same individual or not.
The Dreaded: Ava runs in terror the moment she sees him, and even Sara is quite wary of him when he becomes giant, much to Amaya's surprise.
Amaya: Don't tell me the infamous Sara Lance is scared of a big cat.
Sara: Giant tiger!
Fluffy the Terrible: "Mr. Sneezum" isn't a particularly theatening name for a prehistoric wild beast.
Formally-Named Pet: At the end of the episode, Ray decides to call him "Mr. Sneezums", because he makes him sneeze due to his cat allergy.
Incredible Shrinking Man: After a failed attempt by Ray, Sara manages to use the Shrink Ray to reduce him to the size of a normal cat. However, he eventually regains his normal size and attacks Sara and Ava, forcing Ray to shrink him down a second time.
Make My Monster Grow: Ray accidentally causes him to become enormous due to a wrong manipulation of his Shrink Ray.
Non-Malicious Monster: As pointed out by Amaya, he's just a confused animal.
"Open!" Says Me: After having accidentally been made bigger by Ray, he breaks out of his cage by ripping out one of the doors.
Panthera Awesome: He's a giant sabertooth tiger! Need I say more?
Ridiculously Cute Critter: After shrinking him down, even Amaya can't help but find him "kind of cute".
Sealed Evil in a Teddy Bear: Once shrunk, he becomes actually pretty adorable for a savage predator.

1253 B.C.

Helen of Troy

Species: Human

Played By: Bar Paly

Appearances: Legends of Tomorrow

The one and only Helen of Troy, who found herself in Hollywood , 1937, due to a time anachronism. Zari later drops her off at the island of Themyscira, so she can finally live far away from men and become stronger.

Apple of Discord: Just like in the classical myth, men start fighting about her once she appears.
As Herself: An in-universe example, Helen is immediately cast as herself after wandering onto the set.
Back for the Finale: Comes back in the Season 3 finale to help the Legends against Mallus' forces (alongside a few other allies).
The Dulcinea Effect: In her debut episode, Helen has this on literally every man she meets.
Expy: In the finale, after she Took a Level in Badass off-screen, Helen serves as a pretty obvious stand-in for a certain iconic female superhero.
Foreshadowing: In Real Life Helen of Troy never actually existed as a historical figure, and is purely a character from Classical Mythology, which could demonstrate that Greek deities and demi-gods actually exist in the Arrowverse. In fact, we see this is indeed the case two seasons later when the actual Moirai from Greek mythology play an extremely prominent role in the season's Story Arc.
Guest-Star Party Member: Pretty much serves as one for the Legends in the Season 3 finale.
Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: The fact that Helen's beauty entrances every single man who sees her and only men (Sara barely gives her a second glance) implies that she might have some supernatural ability to charm men that she is unaware of. It's never examined in depth.
Not Even Bothering with the Accent: The character is Greek, Bar Paly plays her with her natural Russian-Israeli accent. This becomes a bit of a Mythology Gag when Helen becomes an Expy of Wonder Woman (who in the DCEU is also played by an Israeli actress using her natural accent).
So Beautiful, It's a Curse: Helen is horribly distraught about the fact that men always start killing each other over her.
Sword and Gun: In the Season 3 finale, she shows herself to be a master of both swords and firearms.
Took a Level in Badass: Unsurprisingly, this has happened to Helen of Troy after living on Themyscira, practically turning her into a One-Woman Army.
World's Most Beautiful Woman: If the above tropes weren't enough indication.

49 B.C.

Julius Caesar

Gaius Julius Caesar

Species: Human

Played By: Simon Merrells (Season 3 debut episode), Jason Merrells (Season 3 finale)

Appearances: Legends of Tomorrow

The famous roman conqueror, who finds himself time-displaced in Aruba.

Alternate Universe: Creates one after stealing the book Rise of Rome and returning to his timeline, preventing his own assassination and ensuring that the Roman Empire would last until present day.
Back for the Finale: After only appearing in the Season 3 debut episode, he finally returns in the finale as a servant of Mallus.
Historical Domain Character: Obviously.
Laser-Guided Amnesia: Two times, in both episodes he appears.
Politically Incorrect Villain: He's dismissive of Sara because she is a woman and feels humiliated after getting defeated by her.

Species: Human

Played By: Nils Hognestad

Appearances: Legends of Tomorrow

Frontline General: He personally leads his knights during their battles.
The Good King: He is loved and respected by his subjects.
Irony: His first episode had him Mind Controlled by a character played by Arthur Darvill.

Platonic Life-Partners: With his wife, who is a lesbian. They consider themselves as really close friends.
Reasonable Authority Figure: He listens to his subjects and values their opinions.

Queen Guinevere

Species: Human

Played By: Elyse Levesque

Appearances: Legends of Tomorrow

The legendary Queen of Camelot and King Arthur's wife.

Adaptational Badass: This version of Guinevere is much more of an Action Girl than in other versions of the story.
Adaptational Sexuality: Turns out the love triangle between Arthur, Guinevere, and Lancelot wasn't exactly what the traditional legends describe, as the marriage between Arthur and Guinevere is revealed to be more of a military/political alliance, while Guinevere states she rather more prefers Sara Lance, a lot.
Benevolent Boss: Despite being a Reasonable Authority Figure, she's not afraid to use force if the situation calls for it.
Fiery Redhead: While reasonable, she's very... opinionated.
Frontline General: She personally leads her knights during her only battle scene.
The High Queen: The beautiful and respected Queen of Camelot.
I Am Very British: Has an especially posh British accent.
Icy Blue Eyes: She has piercing blue eyes which gives her an effective Death Glare, further adding to her Lady of War credentials.
Jeanne d'Archétype: After her husband and a number of the Camelot knights were Mind Controlled, the remaining knights of the kingdom rely solely on her to take command. She complies by wearing a silver armor and riding a white horse much like the Trope Namer.
Lady of War: She's a very graceful female knight.
Lipstick Lesbian: Feminine and graceful, which befits a queen.
Platonic Life-Partners: With her husband. Despite their Incompatible Orientation, they consider themselves as really close friends.
Reasonable Authority Figure: She listens to her subjects and values their opinions.
Statuesque Stunner: A beautiful woman who stands 5'9 1/2. The latter makes her the third tallest woman on Earth-1 and tied in fourth in the entire Arrowverse^note.
You Are in Command Now: She has to lead the troops into battle herself after her husband is Mind Controlled by the Legion, which is a big burden for her.

Merlin

A magician and King Arthur's adviser. She is actually Courtney Whitmore/Stargirl taking refuge in this era.

see the Arrowverse: Justice Society of America page

Sir Galahad

Species: Human

Played By: Neil Webb

Appearances: Legends of Tomorrow

A legendary Knight.

Age Lift: Traditionally, he's the son of Lancelot and is significantly younger than Arthur and the rest of the characters. Here, he appears to be in the same age group as King Arthur.
Demoted to Extra: Usually one of the most prominent members of the Knights of the Round Table, he's unceremoniously killed off here.
Dropped a Bridge on Him: He's unceremoniously stabbed In the Back and then dies.
Face of a Thug: Ray mistakes him for a Jerkass bully due to his gruff demeanor. He's actually a Nice Guy.
Forgotten Fallen Friend: His death never affected any of the other knights and Guinevere. The only one who was affected was Ray, but even that was only brief.
Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: A Mind Controlled King Arthur stabs him In the Back with a broadsword.
Knight in Shining Armor: Literally, and one of the legendary examples. We don't get to see him in action, however.
Nice Guy: He's a decent fellow.
Odd Friendship: He and Ray hit it off really fast.
Take Up My Sword: Ray literally takes up his sword after his death. He then turned the sword into a literal Lightsaber.
Unrelated in the Adaptation: He is Lancelot's son in most media. Here, Sara is ultimately revealed to be "Lancelot", and no relation exists between them is stated.
We Hardly Knew Ye: Dies in his only episode.

King Konstantyn

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/19_6.jpg

Species: Human (Empowered via Magic)

Played By: Matt Ryan

Appearances: Legends of Tomorrow

John Constantine's earliest recorded ancestor, a king of one of the Celtic tribes of the British Isles and the first of Constantine's bloodline to wage a war against dark magic.

Adaptational Name Change: In the comics, Constantine's kingly ancestor is named Kon-stan-tyn; the show simplifies to the more conventional Konstantyn.
Aerith and Bob: Konstantyn is a name of Polish and Russian origin you'd expect to be the Slavicized version of the Greco-Byzantine Constantine, which would have only been a name really in Eastern Europe after the famous Roman emperor Constantine and it would have been logical to assume John's ancestral line began somewhere around there. There is nothing at all Celtic about his name.
An Arm and a Leg: John cuts off his hand.
Fantastic Racism: King Konstantyn has a burning hatred for every magical creature, harmless or not something that deeply disturbs his descendant.
Identical Grandson: King Konstantyn looks just like John Constantine only with longer hair.
Knight Templar: King Konstantyn is utterly convinced of the righteousness of his cruel deeds, defending them even after John cuts off his hand.
Modest Royalty: There isn't anything Konstantyn wears to mark him as king of his tribe save for his yellow tunic which is longer and more colorful than the rest. Justified as his kingdom is rather modest and his primary responsibility as king is keeping his tribe safe.
Mythology Gag: Alan Moore has repeatedly clarified that John's last name is pronounced as "Constan-tyne" (like valentine) rather than the "Constan-teen" everyone else uses. This character was partially included to play around with and handwave this minor source of discontent between Moore and everyone else.
Our Founder: Of Constantine's bloodline by virtue of being the first one to wield magic against darkness and evil; his name Konstanyn would be anglicized down the centuries into the family surname of Constantine
Shadow Archetype: He represents what John would be without any restraint or conscience — in short what John was before the Newcastle incident. John is disturbed enough by the implications that he firmly states that he is not his ancestor.
Strong Family Resemblance: Has a strong resemblance to his descendant John Constantine, by virtue of being played by the same actor.

13th Century

Genghis Khan

see the Arrowverse: Mystics page

Appearances: Legends of Tomorrow

Ambiguously Bi: His wife mentions that he spends a lot of time with his subordinates.
Arranged Marriage: With Anne of Austria.
Butt-Monkey: Aside from Time Pirates attempting to kill him, his wife cheats on him before consummating their marriage.
Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": He's only referred to as the King of France, but the credits lists him as King Louis XIII of France.
Historical Domain Character: Obviously.
Large Ham: He is very theatrical.
Non-Action Guy: He's not combat proficient.

Anne of Austria

Species: Human

Played By: Rebecca Eady

Appearances: Legends of Tomorrow

Queen of France from 1643-1651.

Adaptational Sexuality: There are no records saying that the real-life Anne of Autria is a lesbian or bisexual.
Arranged Marriage: With King Louis XIII of France.
Ambiguously Bi: Enjoys the pleasure of her maid's company as readily as her husband enjoys that of his manservants.
Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": She's only referred to as the Queen of France, but the credits lists her as Anne of Austria.
Everything's Sexier in French: She's definitely easy on the eyes, though technically she's Austrian by birth.
Girl of the Week: She's the very first for Sara in Season 2.
Historical Domain Character: A real life queen of France.

Pimped-Out Dress: We see her in a fancy green dressing gown that is trimmed with ermine.

Masako Yamashiro

Species: Human

Played By: Mei Melancon

Appearances: Legends of Tomorrow

A woman betrothed to an evil shogunate who saved Nate Heywood's life. She is Tatsu Yamashiro's distant ancestor.

Adaptation Expansion: Her and her family's appearance contributed to Tatsu's backstory.
Arranged Marriage: She is set to be married to the shogunate. She dreads this as he's The Bluebeard
Did Not Get the Girl: She and Nate did not end up together due to the different timelines they live in.

Lady of War: She's calm while pointing a sword at the shogunate. Not a hard guess given who her present day descendant is.
Missing Mom: Only her father is seen.
Nice Girl: She's very pleasant and saves Nate despite him being a stranger.
One-Steve Limit: Tatsu is married to Maseo, so she's a Yamashiro either from her mother side, Maseo took her family name, or worse, they're related (which does not help the fact that they're exiled from Japan in the Arrow Season 3 flashbacks). Since Yamashiro is a very common surname in Japan, it's very likely that this is just the trope in-play.
Rescue Romance: With Nate. Due to the different timelines they live in, it's Doomed by Canon from the start, and Nate leaves.
Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: Saves Nate despite the shogunate not liking foreigners.

Ichiro Yamashiro

Species: Human

Played By: Sab Shimono

Appearances: Legends of Tomorrow

Masako's father and Tatsu Yamashiro's distant ancestor.

Adaptation Expansion: He and his family's appearance contributed to Tatsu's backstory.
Celebrity Paradox: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was mentioned in The Flash (2014) Season 2. His actor is a franchise player there, appearing on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III and voicing a Recurring Character on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012).
Cool Old Guy: He's very pleasant and wise, even sharing an important wisdom to Ray when the latter is suffering from Heroic BSoD over the loss of his Powered Armor.
Nice Guy: He's very pleasant and offers Ray wise words.
One-Steve Limit: Tatsu is married to Maseo, so she's a Yamashiro either from her mother's side, Maseo took her family name, or worse, they're related which does not help the fact that they're exiled from Japan in the Arrow Season 3 flashbacks). Since Yamashiro is a very common surname in Japan, it's very likely that this is just the trope in-play.
Outliving One's Offspring: His eldest son was killed by the shogunate out of envy.
Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: Tolerates his daughter for saving Nate.
You Are Better Than You Think You Are: He advises Ray that he doesn't need his Powered Armor to be a hero, and that he's a hero because that is just what he is.

Oda Yamashiro

Species: Human

Masako's older brother and Tatsu Yamashiro's distant ancestor.

Adaptation Expansion: He and his family's appearance contributed to Tatsu's backstory.
The Ace: He's so competent, adored and respected that the shogunate killed him out of envy.
Killed Offscreen: The shogunate ordered his death many years ago.
One-Steve Limit: Tatsu is married to Maseo, so she's a Yamashiro either from her mother side, Maseo took her family name, or worse, they're related which does not help the fact that they're exiled from Japan in the Arrow Season 3 flashbacks). Since Yamashiro is a very common surname in Japan, it's very likely that this is just the trope in-play.
Posthumous Character: He's dead both in the time period the Legends visited and obviously in The Present Day.

Tokugawa Iemitsu

Species: Human

Played By: Stephen Oyoung

Appearances: Legends of Tomorrow

Ruler of Japan in 1641 and a renowned tyrant.

Adaptational Sexuality: The real-life Tokugawa Iemitsu was gay, whereas this one is implied to be straight or bisexual, given that he is The Bluebeard.

Bad Boss: If he sense you're better than him, he'll have you killed.

The Bluebeard: He apparently kill his wives for reasons unknown.

Defeat Equals Explosion: How he died after Nate destroyed the A.T.O.M suit.
Empowered Badass Normal: He's already a skilled Samurai. Then he gets his hands on Ray's Powered Armor...
Green-Eyed Monster: He had Masako's older brother killed out of envy for the latter being The Ace.
Historical Badass Upgrade: Thanks to getting his hands on Ray's Powered Armor.
Historical Villain Upgrade: In Real Life, he didn't go around marrying random women only to murder them afterwards.
Historical Domain Character: Obviously.
Instant Expert: He easily figures out how to use the A.T.O.M suit despite its technology being centuries advanced.
Jerkass: He's not a pleasant fellow.
Screw the Rules, I Make Them!: He has no qualms in abusing his authority.
Small Role, Big Impact: He's a traditional Villain of the Week, but his only appearance lead to Ray's Powered Armor being completely destroyed.

Edward "Blackbeard" Teach

Species: Human

Played By: Jonathan Cake

Appearances: Legends of Tomorrow

The most feared pirate in history, Blackbeard.

see Stargirl (2020): Villains for The Shade, the post-Crisis Earth-2 character who bears his physical likeness

Back for the Finale: He returns the Season 3 finale as one of Mallus' demonic possessed lackeys.
Dirty Coward: A farcry from his historical depiction, this Blackbeard is a complete coward who runs in terror at the slightest danger and can easily be swayed if his life is threatened. Overlaps with Lovable Coward and Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain, as you just can't hate him because he is very entertaining.
Mercy Kill: Killed his wife who was possessed by the Earth Totem, though her corpse would continue being reanimated.
Not-So-Harmless Villain: Actually manages to disarm Amaya in the Season 3 finale in a sword fight. Unfortunately, Nate hands her a spare.
Pirate: One of the most famous pirates in history, though he doesn't quite live up to the legends.
Worthy Opponent: Comes to respect Amaya as the Dread Pirate Jiwe.

18th Century

George Washington

Species: Human

Played By: Randall Batinkoff

Appearances: Legends of Tomorrow

The Commander-in-Chief of the U.S Continental Army.

Badass in Distress: Spends most of his episode captured.
Death by Adaptation: Subverted. Brainwashed Rip kills him before he crosses the Delaware River as part of the Legion's Batman Gambit to get a piece of the Spear of Destiny from the Legends. As the Legion anticipated, the Legends will Time Travel to an earlier point before the assassination and successfully claim said piece. Once they got their hands on the piece, they allowed the Legends to restore history.
Frontline General: He joins his men in action.
Historical Domain Character: Obviously.
Historical Hero Upgrade: Though that's typical for him, as well as the American revolutionaries in general. He claims to honour the 'rules of war' and gives prisoners respect, which greatly contrasts the real life Washington who had Native villages burned for siding with the British while survivors on the battlefield were often executed and then desecrated (though this was on both sides). Meanwhile the revolutionaries seem to be rather accepting of Nate and Amaye's mixed marriage and several interracial couples are seen dancing, which is baffling given that Washington kept black people as slaves. To their credit, the episode ends with Washington learning to 'fight dirty' from Rory, indicating that Washington's less-pleasant actions during the war could be because of Mick's influence.
Odd Friendship: Formed one with Mick Rory.
Unwitting Pawn: Brainwashed Rip kills him to create a huge time aberration to lure the Legends. He gets better.
Young Future Famous People: He's the 1st ever President of the United States, met by The Legends during his time as a General.

Charles Cornwallis

Species: Human

Played By: Noel Johansen

Appearances: Legends of Tomorrow

A high-ranking British Army officer.

Alliterative Name: Charles Cornwallis.
Historical Domain Character: Obviously.
Historical Villain Upgrade: Fortunately averted. Though he and his army are the badguys, they're merely treated as one side of a war, and when we hear Brainwashed Rip's ramblings to the soldiers, its clear they view the war as a case of domestic terrorists and traitors they're fighting against rather than idealistic freedom fighters. In particular, the only badguy involved is Rip, who is brainwashed to be this way rather than actually a villain.
Young Future Famous People

Marie Antoinette

see the Arrowverse: Mystics page

19th Century

Jonah Hex

Species: Human

Played By: Johnathon Schaech

Appearances: Legends of Tomorrow

A former Confedarate soldier and morally ambiguous gunslinger in the Old West with knowledge of Time Travel.

see the Arrowverse: Other Earths page to see his Earth-18 counterpart

Adaptational Attractiveness: His facial burns don't look as severe as they are in the comics and other adaptations. To be fair, Hex's disfigurement in the comics wouldn't be easy to create on a TV budget.
Badass Longcoat: An Iconic Outfit of the character. Rip's own coat was a gift from him.
Bromance: He and Rip have a very strong bond.
Commuting on a Bus: He guest stars Once a Season.
Early-Bird Cameo: One of his Alternate Self appears briefly in The Flash (2014) episode, "Welcome to Earth-2", when the Flash travels through a dimensional gateway. And ironically it's Sarah Lance who gave an Alternate Self his facial scar during the Crisis on Infinite Earths (2019).
Facial Horror: The right side of his face is burnt.
The Gunslinger: Per the norm.
Intergenerational Friendship: Technically, he and Rip were born 200 years apart.
Large Ham: Jonathon Schaech is clearly having fun with the role.
Moveset Clone: His outfit and weapon is very identical to Rip's.
Politically Incorrect Hero: He's slightly misogynist, though he appears to be working on it after Sara called him out.
Seen It All: The team being time travelers doesn't faze him, nor do most of their skills, with Firestorm being the sole exception (the sight of him makes Hex bless himself with the sign of the cross).
Ship Tease: In the Season 3 finale, he gets teased a few times with Zari.
Still Wearing the Old Colors: As in the comics, he wears a Confederate uniform more than a decade after the war ended.

Jeb Stillwater

Species: Human

Played By: Brent Staite

Appearances: Legends of Tomorrow

An outlaw who leads a gang that terrorizes towns during the 1800s.

see Smallville: Clark's Allies for Kent Nelson, the Earth-167 character who bears his physical likeness

Asshole Victim: Rip kills him at the end of his episode.
Badass in a Nice Suit: Wears a typical 1800s suit.
The Bully: He and his gang push their weight on different towns.
Evil Old Folks: He's an evil old man.
The Leader: Of the Stillwater gang.
Villain of the Week: For Season 1 Episode 11.

Unnamed old woman

Hawkgirl's 19th Century incarnation.

Hannibal Hawkes

Hawkman's 19th Century incarnation.

see the Arrowverse: The Hawks page

Ulysses Grant

Ulysses S. Grant

Species: Human

Played By: John Churchill

Appearances: Legends of Tomorrow

A general of the Union Army.

Benevolent Boss: Cares for the lives of his men, and is saddened that he may be sending some of them to their deaths.
The Chains of Commanding: Commiserates with Sara over the burdens of being a leader, knowing that they may be sending their people to die.
Expecting Someone Taller: Inverted. He's surprisingly taller than Nate expected.
A Father to His Men: He is depicted as a general who understands the burden of being in command, as he shows great care for his fellow army men.
Frontline General: He joins his men in action against the Zombie Infectees.
Historical Domain Character: Obviously.
Politically Correct History: He has no problems whatsoever accepting the fact that Sara, a woman, is The Leader of her group, and even gives her some respectful advice on leadership.

Two First Names: Grant is commonly used as a given name ^note, and his case is Truth in Television.
Young Future Famous People: He's the 18th President of the United States, met by The Legends during his time in the army.

Mr. Collins

Species: Human

Played By: Dean S Jagger

Appearances: Legends of Tomorrow

A slave owner.

Asshole Victim: A racist Jerkass Bad Boss, no one felt sorry for him after he dies.
Bad Boss: He treats his slaves like shit, and kills them if they try to escape.
Celebrity Paradox: Game of Thrones is mentioned on The Flash (2014) Season 1. His actor played a key antagonist on its sixth season.
Devoured by the Horde: His ultimate fate.
Entitled Bastard: Treats Jax and his slaves as shit, even dismissing their suggestions to fight the zombies. Once he gets Devoured by the Horde, he quickly asks for their help.
Jerkass: He's not a pleasant fellow.
Last-Name Basis: His first name is never revealed, though ''IMDb lists it as Daniel.
Politically Incorrect Villain: He's a typical racist Bad Boss depicted in works relating Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil in American history.
Sharp-Dressed Man: He's wearing a suit.
Too Dumb to Live: Refuses to give Jax and a slave guns to fight the zombies because they are "mere slaves", despite the persistent Zerg Rush. It goes exactly what you expect.

Quentin Turnbull

Species: Human

Played By: Jeff Fahey

Appearances: Legends of Tomorrow

The man responsible for the destruction of the town of Calvert, Oklahoma and Jonah Hex's Arch-Enemy.

Abnormal Ammo: In "Outlaw Country," Turnbull uses his dwarf star alloy to make bullets that explode into blue flame on contact and can penetrate Nate's otherwise Immune to Bullets Chrome Champion form (sans explosion). Given that it's one of the rarest materials in existence, his waste of it in this manner also qualifies as Mundane Utility.
Adaptational Jerkass: In the comics Turnbull hated Hex due to blaming him for the death of his son and sought revenge on him. This version has almost the opposite scenario, with Hex being the one having a vendetta against Turnbull. Said vendetta stemming from Turnbull killing the entire population of the town of Calvert, by trapping them in a church and burning it down.
Adapted Out: This version never had a son, removing the usual sympathetic reason for going after Hex.
And Starring: Gets this citation in the guest stars line-up.
Arch-Enemy: For Jonah Hex, being the bounty hunter's most personal enemy for murdering the town of Calvert.
Badass Longcoat: Wears a typical duster worn by cowboys.
Beard of Evil: Is sporting a beard.
Celebrity Paradox: Lost is mentioned on the very first episode of Arrow. His actor played one of the main characters there in its last three seasons.
Evil Overlord: In a Bad Future, he takes over the entirety of the Western half of the United States and renames it to "Turnbull Country", which embraces anarchic behavior and the complete absence of authority.
Expy: This version of the character has some Revolver Ocelot vibes in him, specifically the manner of speech and carrying a Colt Singe Action Army as his weapon.
Faux Affably Evil: While usually not pleasant fellow, he does get quite chummy with Mick when the two get drunk together and share storie of their criminal exploits.
The Gunslinger: He is proficient with a pistol, able to kill the traitorous time pirate before the man could shoot him.
One-Steve Limit: Shares his first name with Quentin Lance (not that it matters, since he died nearly a century before the latter was born).
Politically Incorrect Villain: He's a clear misogynist, being disgusted that Sara turned out to be a woman rather than a boy.
Refuge in Audacity: Shown to appreciate this after Mick was sent into the bar to start a fight, and ends up picking one with him. The next cut shows him and Mick laughing and drinking.
Revolvers Are Just Better: He has an affinity for the Colt Singe Action Army.
To Create a Playground for Evil: His endgame is to create his own country, as a lawless anarchist society where outlaws reign supreme.

P.T. Barnum

Phineas Taylor Barnum

Species: Human

Played By: Billy Zane

Appearances: Legends of Tomorrow

The founder and owner of Barnum's Roving Museum of Freaks and Hypnotic Hippodrome, as well as the ringmaster of his self-proclaimed "Best Show on Earth".

Historical Beauty Upgrade: Billy Zane is considerably better looking than portraits of the real Barnum.
Historical Domain Character: Obviously.
Younger Than They Look: He was visited in 1870, meaning he's supposed to be 59 or 60 years old. He's played by a 51 year old actor.

Sir Henry Stein

Species: Human

Played By: Victor Garber

Appearances: Legends of Tomorrow

Martin Stein's great-great grandfather who looks identical to his descendant. He's an actor as well as a cultist who works for Mallus' Cult.

Dastardly Whiplash: Sports one of these and is the only distinguishing feature between him and his descendant Martin.
Evil Old Folks: Appears to be as old as the present day Martin Stein, but is a villainous cultist who abducts young men off the street to drain their blood.
