Bill Williamson
Bill Williamson
Portrayed by: Brendan Fletcher.
An anarchic mass murderer with the intent of curbing such things as overpopulation, religion, global warming, income inequality and government corruption (or the government as a whole).
- Angry White Man: A rare liberal example. He hates women and holds xenophobic thoughts against the Middle East, particularly Saudi Arabia, even if he pushes for a left-wing agenda that betters everyone's civil rights.
- At Least I Admit It: Bill admits that he does kill and shoot civilians even when he speaks out against gun shooting massacres, claiming he had to do it to get his message across the United States on a national scale in the second movie.
- Bald of Evil: Shaves himself bald in the second movie.
- Basement-Dweller: Though he did work a job as a mechanic to make his own money, he lived at his parents' house in a bedroom. They tell him it’s time to move out when the movie begins, not knowing that releasing him means unleashing a killer psychopath loose on society.
- Berserk Button: He generally does not like it when restaurants mess up his orders, which the Chicken Den waitress and the coffee barista learned the hard way.
- Bomb-Throwing Anarchists: He is armed with explosives and uses them in each movie.
- Brilliant, but Lazy: He chose not to go to college because he deems it expensive, having optioned to become a car mechanic instead despite the low pay and cacophonous work. His parents tried to persuade him to go to college just like they did, but to no avail.
- The Bully: Due to his sociopathic ways, Bill takes joy in bullying others. Taken up to eleven in the second movie where he forces two of his hostages to put out a gladiator tournament for his own amusement.
- Capitalism Is Bad: Bill believes the United States should operate more as a socialist nation, the government should provide universal healthcare, press for gun control claiming that gun manufacturers bribe 50% of the senators and governors, combat economic inequality, regulate private companies from tearing down the environment for profit, and quotes Karl Marx (the father of communism) when denigrating U.S. culture and economic system.
- Character Development:
- In the first movie, Bill dismissed Evan's environmentalist talk as contradictory to making money. In the sequels, Bill now fully agrees with Evan on preserving the environment and stresses that in his interview with Chip.
- In the first movie, Bill felt that cutting down the population was the only effective means of sparing the Earth from having all its natural resources exhausted. He changes his mind in the sequel as he decides that it's overconsumption, not overpopulation, that is the problem, and he switches his emphasis on population numbers to tackling the wealth gap and only blames the elite rich for the Earth's environmental crisis. Though that said, he still doesn't express any remorse or regret for the lives he took in the first movie.
- Cop Killer: Is especially dangerous towards the police and wipes them out before going for the civilians because he doesn't want them trying to intervene on his killing spree. Each of the three films has him kill multiple officers.
- The Corrupter: He is able to turn even a homeless guy or a juvenile elementary-age girl into a homicidal killer just like him.
- Crazy-Prepared: He's very well-equipped at all times.
- In the first movie, when robbing a bank, a man tackles him. Bill whips out a knife and slits his throat hard enough to have the man too weak to keep him pinned down.
- In the second movie, he sends Chip off to play his message on a CD nationwide. Chip runs too fast, then slips on a recently polished floor, then trips and the CD is snapped in half. Bill however pulls out a second CD claiming he always makes copies.
- Also at the end of the second movie, after having blown up his car outside the news station, he was able to conduct an escape plan through tunnels to get to safety where he had a second car ready for him to drive. We're shown that Bill rigged the news station with explosives and an escape latch.
- Deadpan Snarker: In the first movie. His habit of sarcasm seems to fade in the sequels.
- Eat the Rich: He urges his viral followers to do this, since he blames the rich for refusing to solve the world's problems including climate change and a broken health care system which could be repaired through funds out of their own vast pockets but are too beguiled by their own lavish lifestyles to lift a finger.Bill: You watch Spielberg's Lincoln movie so that you think the Civil War actually happened to free the slaves and that billionaire Spielberg makes you even dumber! But the reality is that every war is about money and the stupid people must die because the elite decided it!
Bill: Jennifer Aniston, Jay-Z, Tom Cruise, Michael Bay, they live in mansions on a hilltop and they have no recollection of what it's like to be human anymore! They're a hologram that you worship! - Eco-Terrorist: Bill is a radical environmentalist who blames society's greed for global warming and the pollution of our water and air.
- Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: He did love his mother (Sarah), but got fed up with her nagging and pressuring him to go to college, and so he ran away from home to start his life all over again as an independent. And so she fell into depression from the withdrawal of her son, making her take a drug that influenced her into a car crash.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: After he becomes a notorious terrorist and goes undercover, he starts a relationship with a German woman and fathers a child with her.
- Evil Genius: He sure can kick the police's ass, rob a bank on a solo act and build explosives that allow him to evade arrest.
- Evil Versus Evil: Bill passes himself off as a heroic knight in shining armor who resists the evils of the elite rich and foreign aggressors in spite of the hundreds of murders he committed (he rationalizes those deaths as sacrifices necessary to get his message across the nation).
- Bill complains that the rich corporations are creating factories that burn fossil fuels and cause air pollution for profits, exacerbating global warming and the deterioration of our natural resources which can endanger many lives. In the first movie, he himself shot a dozen or more civilians so he can rob a bank and loot all its cash reserves, threatening to blow off the bank president's head with his H&K MP7A1 if he failed to do so.
- Bill calls on the United States to destroy Saudi Arabia as retribution for funding the 9/11 attacks, when Bill's own killing spree is just as immoral as 9/11. Still, even if it's true, Bill justifies his own actions as being minuscule compared to 9/11.
- The Fatalist: Due to his pessimistic ideology, he's also this. He is concerned that the Earth will be dead and uninhabitable for life by the year 2100 since humans rapidly burned fossil fuels and plundered all of its natural resources. Chip in the second movie does try to convince him otherwise that people do have the power to help reform the planet back to a more habitable condition, but Bill dismisses this scenario because they are too obsessed with making money.
- Faux Affably Evil: Despite being a murderer and mass shooter himself, Bill has agreeable ideas on how a democracy should operate, that he opposes the government accepting bribes from the firearms industry to be lax on gun regulations, and in his videos (especially the third movie) he strongly emphasizes tackling economic inequality so that the ultra rich elite won't get even richer at the expense of everyone else.
- For the Evulz: Many of his acts seem to be done largely out of sadistic gratification, such as setting up a chair in an alleyway and shooting any innocent person who passes by.
- Go Out with a Smile: At the end of President Down as he lies next to a tree and dies peacefully.
- Gun Nut: He absolutely treasures using guns to get what he wants, yet he presses for gun control in the United States and then asks the citizens to use their guns to riot against the elite rich.
- Guns Akimbo: Arms himself with machine guns in both hands to go on killing sprees, using a Heckler & Koch MP7A1 and Ruger MP9 in the first movie, then uses a pair of two Mk 18s in Capital Punishment. Bill, who constantly works out and builds muscle, doesn't seem to have a problem carrying machine guns in both hands the whole time.
- He Who Fights Monsters: While he abhors and condemns Al-Qaeda and ISIS himself, Bill has a lot in common with those Jihadi fanatic groups by being masked to conceal his entire appearance except for his eyes, violently torturing and executing people who disagree with his rhetoric, extremely angry at the U.S. government (crying for Obama to die or be incarcerated) and packed with explosives and firearms to murder innocent civilians.
- While Bill condemns the oppression of women in Muslim countries, he himself forced a male hostage of his to beat up a female hostage for his own entertainment.
- Hollywood Atheist: He declares there is no god and there's never a god, and is very contemptuous of religion. He endorses antitheism because he thinks religion is a detriment to science, human rights and society since it only starts wars and corrupts humanity such as the Middle Eastern nations that oppress women and homosexuals.Bill: There is no god, and there's never a god, and there will be no fucking god ever.
- Hypocrite:
- Bill's definition of American freedom apparently does not include gun rights. Bill claims the U.S. government denies basic human rights to their citizens such as health care, freedom of speech and wealth equality yet he claims that citizens shouldn't be allowed to have guns at all, implying that Bill actually is in favor of implementing a system that strictly monitors and regulates citizens. Not to mention he himself is a mass murderer but shoots random innocent civilians and policemen.
- A possible subversion: Bill claims that he's very adamant about saving the environment and preserving the earth but in the first movie when Evan was telling him this Bill rebutted, "You wanna have no money? Do you want to be poor?" with Bill asserting that making money requires using up earth's natural resources such as burning fossil fuels through cars and cutting down forests of trees to make furniture and mail. Though one can assume Bill quickly and sharply diid change his mind.
- Also in the second movie, Bill calls Andy (played by Uwe Boll) "baldy" even though Bill shaved off his hair just minutes before he arrived at the news station. But see At Least I Admit It.
- Again in the second movie, Bill distrusts television and says it's a brainwashing machine. Later on, when his dad calls him trying to talk him off holding a news station hostage to play his message, Bill tells him to hang up then go turn on the TV, preferably a reality show.
- I Did What I Had to Do: He admits he killed a lot of people to garner national attention and play his message to tell the American people to wake up and realize that they're being exploited, swindled and lied to by mega-corporations for profit.
- Jerkass: Shoots, stabs, punches, exploits and blackmails people. The first movie shown that Bill used to be the bully of Tenderville picking petty fights with whoever he encountered such as the coffee barista and the Chicken Den waitress.
- Karma Houdini: He's been so successful at evading arrest that it drove a sister of one of his victims into depression over his lack of repercussions.Female civilian: (mourning her dead sister Bill killed) I waited for you... to get caught or killed...
Bill: But I didn't get caught or killed! I didn't. - Karma Houdini Warranty: Finally dies in the third movie, though his legacy lives on.
- Lower-Class Lout: He worked as an auto mechanic who refused his parents' advice to go to college.
- Misanthrope Supreme: He values himself and the earth's environmental condition over everyone else. Not only does Bill have a lot of personal contempt towards human beings such as for economic greed and social corruption, he also believes that their overpopulated numbers are rapidly polluting the earth and deteriorating our way of life making it harder to attain food, water and land.
- Money Is Not Power: Bill tends to preach this trope to others, but he's not a believer of it himself. In the first movie, he robs a bank using weapons and forces the bank president to empty out the entire bank's vaults (who hurriedly complies and begs Bill not to shoot promising he'll get all the money). Then Bill goes outside and pulls out fake money he printed out at home then lights a trash can on fire before pouring it all in and gives an angry lecture to the surviving bank-goers that "your money doesn't fucking mean anything!" since they only spend it on senseless shit. He drives away with the real money.
- Moral Myopia:
- Believes himself to be above the law when it comes to using guns to shoot innocent civilians and robbing a bank for its cash, even though he denigrates gun control.
- He's also angered by seeing all the greed around him before and after he pulls off a bank robbery that resulted in him killing more than ten people inside.
- Narcissist: Thinks he's intellectually superior to everyone. Well, given that he evaded arrest and justice for 7 years (between 2009 and 2016), he might have a point.
- Never My Fault: He refused to go to college and take a white-collar job like his parents insisted having opted for work as an auto-mechanic instead, yet he blames the system for his money problems and asks his viral followers to revolt.
- Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: Bill initially claims that he wants to help the world by fighting overpopulation, but the fact that his motive keeps changing film to film and his sheer cruelty, Sadism and pettiness he displays shows that he isn't doing what he does for any reason other than because he enjoys it, with whatever he spouts simply being excuses or means to get people on his side.
- Off the Grid: After the end of first movie, he's forced to go into this trope since the police have identified him as the Tenderville terrorist and because he knew his frame-up on Evan wouldn't last.
- One-Man Army: In the first two movies, he robs a bank, blows up a police station, shoots down hundreds of people and hijacked a news station on his own. In the third movie, he takes down an entire squadron of over 40 FBI and SWAT men hunting for him.
- The Pessimist: Notably has a pessimistic view on humanity's future, feeling that if things keep doing the way they are now, the human race will eventually wipe itself out.
- Psychopathic Manchild: He has the mentality of an angry teenager, picking fights with people over petty reasons especially if it's for his own amusement.
- Pyromaniac: He has a penchant for making things explode. His expertise in chemistry helped him develop homemade bombs to use mainly on the police.
- Religion Is Wrong: He's a committed atheist and calls every religious believer a "fucking idiot". He justifies his claim that religion is all in all a scam that just brainwashes you for your money.
- Sadist: Bill derives a lot of pleasure off of toying with and insulting his victims.
- The Sociopath: Wants humanity to exterminate itself simply because he can't do it alone.
- Straw Nihilist: Thinks all organized religions and ideologies are harmful to human society because they are potentially detrimental to a person's ability to imagine and expand their minds. Except then when people do try to be creative and invent movies such as Transformers and Avengers, he cries out that's propaganda designed to enslave our minds and distract us from making money.
- Surveillance Drone: He uses one in the third movie when fighting off the FBI Agents.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Fried chicken and double espresso macchiato with extra foam in it.
- Verbal Tic: "Chip, chip, chip, chip...."
- Villain Has a Point: He does come off as a bully and a murderer, but has very reasonable ideas for how society should function such as enacting laws protecting the environment, ending mass surveillance, counteracting economic inequality and closing the wealth gap.
- Villain Protagonist: Serves as the main character of the trilogy though he insists that he's a noteworthy cause resisting greater (off-screen) evils such as corrupt politicians and religious fanatics.
- Violence is the Only Option: Bill endorses this philosophy.
- Western Terrorists: He's a domestic terrorist equipped with explosives and firearms with excellent marksmanship who in the third movie successfully kills the U.S. President and Vice President, leading to ISIS praising this anti-Western milestone and trying to claim Bill's efforts as their own. ISIS taking credit for the assassinations led to the United States launching nuclear attacks on the Middle East killing millions and ordering their military and Homeland Security to start rounding up Muslims living in America.
- Would Hurt a Child: At least indirectly. He coerced a little girl into shooting herself once she's done killing her parents as well.
First Movie
Evan Drince
Portrayed by: Shaun Sipos
Bill's Only Friend in the first movie who supplied Bill with both the political motives and deadly weapons to become a domestic terrorist.
- Be Careful What You Wish For:
- Evan says that people need to stop burning fuel through cars and cutting down forests to make money. Bill asks, "Do you want to be poor? Do you want to have no money?"
- Evan convinced Bill that the world is overpopulated. Bill took to the streets in full armor and shot many civilians, including Evan.
- Create Your Own Villain: He gave Bill the firearms, explosives and political motives to become an anarchic murderer.
- Green Aesop: Evan promotes these through viral videos and even to Bill in-person claiming that economic progress and fossil fuels hurt the environment. Bill dismissed his environmentalist talk retorting that Evan never offers any alternatives to money and driving cars.
- Karmic Death: Evan complained that there's too many people on the planet. Bill shoots him in the end.
- The Scapegoat: Bill shoots him, dresses him up in a suit, frames him for the murders and bank robbery, but this didn't work as between the first and second movies the police deduced Bill was the murderer and not Evan.
- Small Role, Big Impact: He has few scenes, but he convinced Bill to become an anarchist.
Alan and Sarah Williamson
Portrayed by: Matt Frewer & Lynda Boyd
Bill's parents. Bill lived with them in order to have a house to live in. The third movie revealed that Alan was an accountant, Sarah was a social services worker.
- Be Careful What You Wish For: They wished for Bill to be more independent and kept bugging him to move out of their house and go on his own. Bill's response to that is to rob a bank, shoot up the town cause he hates everybody he met there, and run away with his new stolen treasure.
- Blue Oni, Red Oni: They served as the cheerful Red to Bill's angry and pessimistic Blue. It could be because Alan and Sarah have a happy marriage, a nice house and had white-collar jobs as an accountant or social services worker while Bill toiled in low-pay work as an auto mechanic and didn't have his own place to live.
- Driven to Suicide: Happens to both, literally for Sarah. Sometime between the 1st and 2nd movie, Sarah had killed herself in a car accident as she drove while under the influence of an anti-depressant she took to relieve herself of Bill's absence. After learning of what Bill did in the 2nd movie, Alan committed suicide himself.
- Happily Married: Sarah always took Alan's side, seeing him as a hard-working man who's old and tired.
- Hypocrite: Alan. He complained about wanting Bill to move out, but Sarah fell into depression when Bill finally did run away from home and cut off all communication with them. Alan asked Bill in the second movie, "Why didn't you just come to us for help?" when clearly Bill did live at their house and Alan tried to make him move out anyways.
- Parental Sexuality Squick: This conversation:Alan: I don't want to do this on a rush, because it's an important thing. But your mother and I were talking last night. We didn't get a lot of sleep, and not for the reason you think.
Bill: (eats a croissant with orange juice) That's gross. - Poor Communication Kills: And it literally did kill Sarah. Bill running away and refusing to talk to her anymore is what depressed Sarah enough that she took a drug that made her get into a car crash.
- Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome: The second movie kills off Sarah, the third kills off Alan.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Their decision to pressure Bill to move out of their home is one major reason why Bill robbed a bank (and killed a third of the people in it) to obtain money.
- What Have I Done: Alan admits to thinking this way after releasing Bill from his home, since it led to a killer psychopath going on a rampage in town.
Barista
RUN FORREST, NOW YOU'RE GETTING IT!
The coffee barista from the first movie. He is known to shortchange his customers on foam.
- Asshole Victim: Becomes one of Bill's targets of his rampage for refusing to issue him either a refund for $4.50 (a rather high price for just one cup of coffee) or a correct order (Double espresso Macchiato with extra foam), like Bill wanted.
- Bullying a Dragon: Messed up Bill's order and then rather than apologize or try to correct it, he just abrasively told Bill to take it then throws a roll at Bill. The next day, Bill comes back with machine guns and asks, "Remember me?"
- Hunting the Most Dangerous Game: Bill forces the barista to start running out of the coffee shop for his life and gives him a 5-second head start. By the time Bill reached 5, the barista didn't get very far.
- Jerkass: The biggest one in the film series other than Bill.
- Mugging the Monster: Refuses to refund Bill for an incorrect coffee, and so Bill plays the hunting game with him.
- No Name Given: Or rather Only Known by Their Nickname as Bill sarcastically calls him "Forrest".
- The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: He's a barista who can't make a proper coffee to save his own life. Even after Bill came back a second time and forced him at gunpoint to make the type of coffee he wants (Double espresso Macchiato, extra foam), the barista failed to make it accurately and the coffee still was lacking of much, if any, foam.
- Too Dumb to Live: He was real pathetic, being a total asshole to his customers while working at a public, open location that anyone could locate and frequent. Also, when Bill was holding him at gunpoint asking for a coffee with extra foam, the barista again skimped out on the foam.
Jim
Portrayed by: Laurie Brunetti
Bill's former short-tempered boss and the supervisor of an auto-repair shop.
- Greater-Scope Villain: His abrasive treatment of Bill and being responsible for turning Bill into a violent bully can make him this.
- Jerkass: If he wanted Bill's attention, he'd kick Bill.
- Mean Boss: He was a jerkass Control Freak who strictly micromanages Bill's work schedule and refused to give Bill a raise to $9 an hour.
Second Movie
Chip Parker
"You get a chair!"
Portrayed by: Lochlyn Munro
The news anchor of a TV station that Bill targeted for his hijacking scheme. He is the deuteragonist of Capital Punishment.
- Benevolent Boss: He was introduced as an arrogant, ungrateful boss towards his employees, but because of Bill's takeover of the station Chip does whatever it takes to spare his employees from being slaughtered.
- Extreme Doormat: He just reads the news that he's given without question, exactly worded and without inputting any of his own thoughts about the news. Bill decides this makes Chip the perfect man to air his DVD video broadcast.
- Foil: To Bill. Bill claims that the government is run by greedy, corrupt egomaniacs. Chip counter argues that politicians are just imperfect and slow to make progress on citizens' lives because they have to go through a lengthy process of debating and finding a majority-approved solution.
- It's All About Me: Chip is shown to be egotistical and arrogant, given the awards he won for his programming.
- It's Personal: Bill spends the second movie toying with his emotions and bullying him as he considers Chip deserves this kind of abuse because Chip spreads lies to the media controlled by the wealthy and powerful. Bill giving Chip a chair to sit in while the other hostages are forced to sit on the floor is not an act of kindness, mind you, but rather it's a sadistic joke to make Chip feel as uncomfortable as possible being ashamed to be in a higher rank than his employees even during a kidnapping and hostage crisis.
- Manchild: He's a man-baby who has no independent opinions of his own (at least until his interview with Bill commences) and lets other people boss him around. Both Bill and the SWAT Leader try using Chip to their own advantages.
- Nouveau Riche: Bill accuses Chip of being this, due to making much more money than everyone else in the news station.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Bill shoots him in the shoulder and incinerates him in a C-4 explosion after the conclusion of the interview.
SWAT Team Leader
Portrayed by: Nathan Lehfeldt
The leader of the police (in the form of a SWAT squadron) in the second movie that Andy called up to intervene on Bill taking the TV news station hostages.
- Assassination Attempt: He conspired to send in an agent to shoot down Bill while Bill is busy talking to his father on the phone. Chip warned him that plan is too risky to take. And it turns out Chip was right, Bill bugged the whole hallway with cameras to spy on the SWAT leader conversing with his agent about the assassination plot.
- Asshole Victim: The way he manipulated Chip into trying to betray Bill and also how he endangered the lives of the hostages by risking an attempted assassination really throws him off the scope of "hero".
- Bullying a Dragon: Instead of complying with Bill's demands for the hostage negotiation, he forces Chip to send in an armed agent to pretend to be a camera crewman for Bill's interview with Chip. Bill shoots the agent dead and detonates the bombs he installed in the hallways blowing up two-thirds of the SWAT squadron.
- Did Not See That Coming: He discovers that after Bill flees the final battle, Bill left behind explosives prompting the SWAT Leader to try and defuse them.
- Evil Versus Evil: He is Bill's primary enemy in Capital Punishment, and therefore the main antagonist of the second movie. Given the stupid shit he pulled off trying to free the hostages from Bill's grip by sending in an armed agent, he's every bit as much of a jerkass as Bill is and the death of his own SWAT men caused by Bill triggering his C4 explosives as retribution can/should be blamed entirely on him.
- Idiot Ball: Sending in an armed agent to target Bill inside the same room with Bill and the hostages was absolutely not worth risking all those hostages Bill rounded up.
- No Name Given: His name isn't given out.
- Too Dumb to Live: He gets locked in a game of chess against Bill, and Bill scores checkmate right before he even knew of it. Bill installed security cameras all over the station the night before he infiltrated it and went on a killing spree shooting the majority of its staff there. Bill was able to see and interpret everything that the SWAT leader did, including tasking an armed agent in plain clothes to take Bill down. Then, when Bill decides to let the hostages go, the SWAT leader orders his team to engage in gunfire combat with Bill instead of making a run for it after Bill already established himself as a bombs incendiary (blowing up a police station and his own car outside the station wasn't proof enough?). Bill is able to escape the SWAT Team through a self-implemented tunnel underground, leaving them a suitcase bomb that detonates, killing the leader and everyone else in the station.
Homeless man
Portrayed by: Bruce Blain
The homeless man that Bill encountered, and berated for not doing anything.
- Chekhov's Gunman: He was homeless for a few years to decades. Bill encouraged him to rob a bank and steal weapons by force as any means to survive. By the end of President Down, he became a successful robber who got clean clothes, shaved off his excessive hair and now possesses an M4 assault rifle.
- Deadline News: Perpetrates this at the end of the third movie.
- Earn Your Happy Ending: He finally landed on his feet in the third movie by heeding Bill's advice.
- Fate Worse than Death: Bill mocked him that given how unmotivated and sluggish he is, he might as well be sitting in jail where he'd get a warm bed, free food and water paid for by taxes.
- From Nobody to Nightmare: Courtesy of Bill's political ideology radically changing him into a homicidal hedonist who uses violent means to get by.
- Straw Nihilist: Bill dents nihilism into his head convincing him that stealing money is his only option rather than playing by society's rules and staying homeless. It isn't until his friend dies from hypothermia that the homeless man is fully convinced of what Bill was telling him.
The Girl
The little girl Bill caught reading a book and recruited her into his anarchic legion.
- Free-Range Children: You generally don't see a little girl walking down the streets without a parent or guardian by. This could tell us she has very useless or negligent parents.
- Murder-Suicide: Bill arms her with a Beretta 92FS and orders her to use it on her parents, any siblings or other family members she may have (unless she's an only child) and lastly herself.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: She isn't really following Bill's orders out of genuine obedience, she's just doing it cause she's scared of Bill and is worried of what will happen if she doesn't comply.
Third Movie
Vincent Jones
Portrayed by: Ryan McDonnell
An FBI Agent who has the exact opposite ideology as that of Bill. He appears to be a social conservative as opposed to the radical anarchist Bill is. He's the main antagonist of President Down.
- Corrupt Cop: He's an FBI Agent who endorses Police Brutality, the Iraq War and pursuing further wars that branched out of the Iraq War's aftermath.
- Foil: He's the right-wing yin to Bill's left-wing yang. Also as the warlike yin to Molokai's pacifist yang.
- Hypocrite: He denounces Bill's homicides and mass shootings of innocents, but he rationalizes the deaths of many civilians (both Americans and the Middle Easterners) who have fallen by the hands of corrupt police or the US military invasions authorized by their government.
- I Have Your Wife: Vincent has a wife named Shelia and a daughter named Molly. Bill goads Vincent to come and hunt him down by taunting Vincent he knows where the latter's wife and daughter lives after hacking into the FBI. If Vincent does not come to the battlefield, then Bill will expose his family's address to his online followers.
- Mistaken for Racist: Molokai thinks Vincent is racist for endorsing the systematic and militaristic oppression the United States is enforcing upon African-Americans and residents of the Middle East. Vincent's ideology is disturbingly compatible with white nationalism.
- My Country, Right or Wrong: Vincent deeply loves America, and defends what America has done as while Bill condemns it. Bill argues that America is racially profiling blacks as criminals and waging illicit wars upon innocent countries in the Middle East for profit. Vincent rebuttals that black people actually do the crime and they are sitting in jail for their own actions, the blacks aren't being thrown in jail without a reason and that America is only being defensive when it comes to foreign policy. Vincent defends, "Those guys would be bombing the fuck out of us if we weren't there right now!"
- Police Brutality: Vincent defends police brutality as a means of intimidating and disciplining the African-American community into improvement and compliance with the law. Vincent has a similar opinion on the brutality the US military imposes on civilians living in various Muslim countries, which Molokai rebuttals that George W. Bush's commencing of the Iraq War only led to the creation of ISIS and other Jihadi groups.
- Pyrrhic Victory: Vincent successfully deals killing blows upon Bill with his Beretta handgun in a weak spot that Bill's armor couldn't deflect, but Bill fires back and kills Vincent.
James Molokai
Portrayed by: Steve Baran
The FBI Agent working with Vincent investigating who assassinated the POTUS (President of the United States). He is the secondary antagonist of President Down.
- All for Nothing: He joins the SWAT battle against Bill in the forest, but doesn't manage to make a successful shot on Bill in spite of surviving most of the battle's length.
- He Who Fights Monsters: He complains that regarding the United States, "Our freedom is already gone". But then he hires software engineer Murray to implement a face-reading software program using state-of-the-art algorithms to track down the assassin of the U.S. President by scanning and reading through the faces of everyone who was in Washington D.C. the same day of the shooting.
- I Have Your Wife: Bill threatens Molokai's grandmother if Molokai doesn't come to the forest for the battle.
- Jerkass Has a Point: Molokai agrees with a majority of Bill's political viewpoints that the United States is broken and crippled by social unrest and poverty stemming from a lack of progress in the economy, domestic affairs regarding racial equality and diplomacy with foreign countries. And even though he doesn't sit well with the fact Bill had to take an entire news station hostage to get his message across, he's glad Bill's message went out there.
Murray
Portrayed by: Scott Patey
A software engineer hired by Molokai to track down the assassin of the President and Vice President of the United States.
- Big Brother Is Watching: He's enabling the FBI to use facial recognition technology to spy on civilians.
- Facial Recognition Software: He implements this and it can match any scanned face to a matching face on a criminal record database. Google and Silicon Valley already perfected this software, or at least a functional prototype of it, at the time President Down was released in late 2016.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: It is unknown what became of him since he disappears before the final battle at the end, but it can be presumed that Murray died when Bill's inspired wave of revolters invaded Washington, D.C. and attacked the FBI headquarters (where he works) seeking to avenge their fallen idol and take back control of the country.
