History Characters / DontBreathe

* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler:He's a kidnapper and murderer, but he doesn't consider himself a rapist. Since he's forcibly impregnated a woman, he technically ''is'' a rapist. He mainly considers himself to not be one because he did not actually force himself upon her and only had sex with her when she "consented"...even though being forced to do so if you ever want to have a chance of being released isn't truly consent. When he attempts to replace Cindy with Rocky, he says he doesn't want to wait this time and instead opts to impregnate using a turkey baster filled with his semen.]]

* AssholeVictim: She killed the Blind Man's daughter while driving drunk and used her family's money to get away with it.

* NiceGuy: like Money, Alex is helping Rocky because he cares about her. He is not just in it for his own cash. In addition, he is very hesitant to rob a blind old war veteran of the money that was given to him to compensate the loss of his daughter. He is also willing to give up the loot and go to jail if it means having a murderer who has kidnapped a woman to forcefully impregnate her brought to justice.

* PapaWolf: [[spoiler:He kidnapped the woman who accidentally killed his daughter, and has forcefully impregnated her to get himself a new child.]] Really dark version.[[spoiler:Going by the trailer & synopsis for the sequel, he is a more noble version of this this time around, having adopted a young girl who was orphaned in a fire. We see him training her & when she's kidnapped, he unleashes Hell to get her back.]]

* TooDumbToLive: From the get-go, he acts reckless for the sake of being reckless, breaking household items and pissing on rugs (leaving his [[WhatAnIdiot DNA as evidence]]) during what should be a straight-forward break-in. Then he brings a gun when he and his companions break in to the Blind Man's house, which, as Alex points out, would give the Blind Man permission to do whatever he wants to the group. [[spoiler:Guess what ends up happening because of that]].

* HandicappedBadass: He may be blind but he's still a powerfully built man with years of military experience under his belt.

* AntiVillain: For about the first half of the movie it seems like he's just defending his home and his property from a bunch of armed criminals, who after all started the whole conflict when they broke in to rob him. [[spoiler:Subverted when later revelations paint him in a ''far'' more sinister light.]]

* PetTheDog: When the Blind Man asks how many other people are with him, he lies that he's the only one.
