[[folder: Characters in the film]]
!!Antonio "Tony" Montana
->''"You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, 'That's the bad guy'."''
->'''Played By:''' AlPacino

* AntiHero: A NominalHero, since the real villain is Sosa, who is much worse than he is. In the videogame, he's an UnscrupulousHero.
* AntiVillain: [[SlidingScaleOfAntiVillains Type I]].
* AxCrazy: More and more so after he's addicted to his own supply.
* {{Badass}}
* BadBoss: One of the better examples of this trope as most of the time, he is a reasonable one. However, his HairTriggerTemper gets in the way.
* TheBerserker
* BloodKnight: Many shootouts and fights Tony gets into he enjoys every minute of it. Special mention goes to Freedomtown.
--> '''Tony:''' I kill a communist for fun, but for a green card, I gonna carve him up real nice.
* CardCarryingVillain
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Tony won't kill children. He also has a hands-off policy on women.
* FriendToAllChildren: Has shades of this. Tony is fairly pleasant to two kids he talks to while Manny tries to pick up a chick at the pool. He says that he'd really like to have kids with Elvira, and of course he will not kill children.
* HairTriggerTemper
* ImplacableMan
* ItsAllAboutMe: Starts to have this attitude after he finished with his criminal empire.
* {{Jerkass}}: More so than his original counterpart. Towards everyone except his family, but still...
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He won't kill kids and the first thing he does when he makes it out on top is buy Gina her own beauty Parlor for her to work in, in hopes that she doesn't end up like him.
* KnightTemplarBigBrother
* LargeHam
* MadeOfIron
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone
* MySisterIsOffLimits
* NeverHurtAnInnocent: While this is shown to be true in the movie, it's made especially clear in the video game, where you simply can't shoot civillians, because that's not in-character for Tony.
* NobleDemon
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He doesn't like working alongside Colombians.
* RedOniBlueOni: Red to Manny and Sosa's Blue.
* SanitySlippage: He gets more crazier and unhinged after his coke addiction settles in.
* SirSwearsALot
* SlouchOfVillainy: Tony has atrocious body posture whenever he's sitting in his office chair.
* SmugSnake: By the second half of the film.
* TheStarscream: To Frank, and later on, Sosa.
* VillainousIncest: Tony can't have his sister and consequently doesn't want anyone else to have her. This is lampshaded by her [[spoiler:right before she's gunned down.]]
* VillainProtagonist
* VillainousBreakdown: Very often due to his HairTriggerTemper, but the most prominent one would have to be in the finale.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: In the finale.
* WouldntHurtAChild: The reason why Sosa puts a hit on him.
* WouldntHitAGirl: He would only go after men who challenge him.
** Subverted once when he [[KnightTemplarBigBrother slaps Gina after he catches her fooling around with a guy in the Babylon men's room.]]
* {{Yandere}}: Acts as one towards his sister.

!!Manny Ribera

->'''Played By:''' Steven Bauer

* DeadpanSnarker
* TheDragon
* FireForgedFriends: Was in prison with Tony.
* HandsomeLech
* LadykillerInLove
* TheMillstone: He becomes this in the second half of the film. Even given Tony's erratic behavior, the events of his downfall are mostly due to Manny's fuck ups. First he puts Tony in contact with a money launderer who turns out to be an undercover cop. Then while Tony is busy dealing with Sosa's business he puts Manny in charge of the operation, but instead of doing that Manny runs off to elope with Gina. [[spoiler: As noted below, his way of breaking the news to Tony was extremely unwise, and leads to his death.]]
* NumberTwo
* OnlySaneMan
* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Tony's Red.
* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler: Greeting Tony at the door in a robe was a really bad way to tell Tony that he and Gina were seeing each other, especially given Tony's temper and his earlier warning to stay away from her.]]

!!Elvira Hancock
->''"Nothing exceeds like excess. You should know that, Tony."''
->'''Played By:''' MichellePfeiffer

* BrokenBird
* DarkMistress: To Frank at first, until she hooks up with Tony.
* GenreSavvy: She's the only one (other than maybe Sosa) who understands how stories like Tony's always end, and she [[spoiler: gets out while she can]].
* GoldDigger
* IceQueen
* {{Jerkass}}: More so than Gina and Tony.
* LawOfInverseFertility: It's implied in the restaurant scene that she can't get pregnant; Tony publicly berates her for it and [[{{Hypocrite}} blames it on her drug abuse.]] Incidentally, this is when she finally loses her cool with him.
* RichBitch
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Finally having enough, she practically tells Tony this word-for-word in her final scene:
--> [[spoiler:"I'm leaving you. I don't need this shit anymore."]]

[[folder: Characters in the videogame (The World Is Yours)]]

* FreudianExcuse: At least he claims to have had no problem with Montana until Sosa sent the squadron to Miami.

!!Nacho Contreras

* AssholeVictim
* ForTheEvulz: Because Nacho in the game reveals its true personality, this is the only reason why commits horrendous acts (hitting women for his own amusement and then throws their bodies into the sea, but not after revolt that also engages in human trafficking!)

!!The Diaz Brothers

* AssholeVictim

* LawOfInverseFertility: It's implied in the restaurant scene that she can't bear children; Tony publicly mocks her for it and [[{{Hypocrite}} blames it on her drug abuse.]]
