!!Larry Chrysler (Creator/JulianBarratt)
A former TV presenter who was turned into a werewolf.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Tries to present himself as this to Tom, but Hal ultimately makes it clear to Larry that ''he'' is the failure where Tom is a better man than he could ever be.
* BadassOnPaper: Larry tries to present himself as a success as a motivational speaker, but when pushed he has to acknowledge that he's not that good, even if he deflects blame for that failure to his condition rather than just acknowledge his own failure as a man.
* BullyingTheDragon: Taunts Hal by claiming that he just sees Larry as a reflection of his own monster, [[spoiler:but is ultimately strangled when he finally pushes Hal too far]].
* NeverMyFault: Larry constantly talks about how "the wolf" ruined his life, rather than accept that he's a failure on his own.

* CowardiceCallout: He hands out a couple during the series:
** {{Discussed}} in the Season 4 finale when Tom almost passive-aggressively calls the [[CouncilOfVampires vampire Old Ones]]' werewolf agent Milo a coward. It promptly turns out that being called a coward of all things is Milo's BerserkButton, [[FisticuffProvokingComment making him get physical]] -- Milo admits he may be an opportunist and a CategoryTraitor, but after the extreme things he had to do to get accepted onto "the winning team", ''no-one'' calls him a coward.
** In the penultimate episode, Alex brokenly and on near pure impulse stops a grief-fueled Tom from delivering a killing blow to [[spoiler:Hal, who Tom and Alex believe [[EtTuBrute has just killed Tom's crush MINUTES after Hal came back to his friends begging for their help]]]]. This move prompts a grief-fueled Tom to angrily hiss at Alex, "You coward!". The fact Alex makes it very clear moments later that she doesn't believe a word of [[spoiler:Hal]]'s exclamation before the save that he didn't do it seems to validate Tom's callout.

Added DiffLines:

* EvilCounterpart: To Tom, who has a particular rivalry with him throughout their screen-time. They're both tough, lone werewolves who have an unlikely friendship with a vampire (one of the most feared members of the Old Ones for either of them, in fact), but whereas Tom was forced to tolerate Hal at first before forming a genuine friendship with him, Milo is solely on Mr. Snow's side out of [[IFightForTheStrongestSide self-preservation and perceived pragmatism]]. Furthermore, Tom was prejudiced against Hal for being a vampire at first, whereas Milo, as a werewolf (whom the Old Ones and vampires generally dehumanize), had to make horrific sacrifices before Mr. Snow fully accepted him.

* EtTuBrute: He's quite sensitive and does not respond well to being betrayed by those closest to him, often reacting witha brief bout of violence followed by storming out. Examples range from [[spoiler:finding out the truth about his birth-parents]], to being manipulated into thinking his flatmates see him as nothing more than a cur to kick around.

* FauxAffablyEvil: Mr Snow is soft-spoken and quite polite to Hal and Annie, but he's still pure evil and threatening. His dealings with Cutler show just how much of an arrogant, cruel and egocentric individual he really is though, belittling all who have no use to him.

* IFightForTheStrongestSide: He firmly believes "[[Film/TheMummy1999 'tis better to be at the Devil's right hand than in his path]]". He joined the Old Ones' side and sold out all of humanity and the werewolves because he believes they're "the winning team", and he's a survivalist who has no intention of joining everyone else in the new world order's concentration camps once the vampires take over.

Added DiffLines:

!!Milo (Michael Wildman)
A werewolf working directly for the Old Ones as a rare and loyal henchman.
* BerserkButton: He's normally quite calm, even chummy when he he hasn't been ordered to kill you, but the ''second'' Tom calls him a coward to his face, he flips. He may be an opportunist and a CategoryTraitor, but after the horrific things he had to do to gain his place at the Old Ones' side despite how they generally view werewolves, ''no-one'' calls him a coward.
* CategoryTraitor: He freely admits that he can be called a "traitor" for selling out the human race and all other werewolves to the Old Ones' plans for world domination and enslavement.
* IFightForTheStrongestSide: He firmly believes "[[Film/TheMummy1999 'tis better to be at the Devil's right hand than in his path]]".

[=McNnair=] survives the fight and kills the wolf, at the cost of inheriting the lycanthropy curse himself, and later becomes a vampire hunter who regards the strength and resilience his lycanthropy grants him as a [[CursedWithAwesome curse]] that makes dealing with other supernatural creatures much easier.
