History Characters / BlackLagoonOtherRecurringCharacters

* ArtisticLicenseMilitary: In a flashback, Caxton is shown to be a lieutenant during UsefullNotes/TheVietnamWar. But during the events of the show (over two decades later) he only holds the rank of [[MajorlyAwesome major]]. A [[RealLife real-world]] American military officer would hold the rank of at least a [[ColonelBadass colonel]] (if not [[FourStarBadass higher]]) after so many years of service.

* MyGirlIsASlut: Not at first, but after having sex once with Benny in her intro arc, she returns to Roanapur as a "grade-A fuck freak" (As Revy puts it) who's implied to regularly sleep around. She's also ditched the modest [[http://www.mangahere.co/manga/black_lagoon/v06/c039/18.html work shirt and skirt]] for [[http://www.mangahere.co/manga/black_lagoon/v08/c077/8.html this getup]]. Benny doesn't seem to care though, or at the very least is too flustered by her hyper sexual behavior to say anything.

* OutGambitted: [[spoiler:In the end, Feng gets the last laugh in their rivalry, as she manages to deposit a large sum of ill-begotten money on Janet's bank account and then tipping off the Scotland Yard. Feng is aware that Janet is probably smart enough to evade arrest, but predicts that Janet will be forced to keep a very low profile for some time as the heat wears off and definitely won't be too happy about it; she is entirely right by the way, especially since the places she's suggested to lay low don't have internet or electricity. ]]

* ActionSurvivor: Basically the only thing he has going for him. He's dumb as a rock and may have more than a few screws loose (see AmbiguousDisorder below) but ''somehow'' he manages to not die despite his numerous screw-ups, either from being GenreSavvy or just plain [[BornLucky absurdly lucky]]. And in a city like Roanapur, not being dead within your first week of arriving is an achievement in itself.

* HairDecorations: Her headband.

* {{Bishonen}}: His excessive good looks lead Revy to first assume he's Shenhua's "man-whore".

* TheFool: On the one hand, he seems to be a complete ''idiot'', what with his obsession with being "cool" leading him to trying to deliberately invoke shonen style actions that just cause him to get shot at. On the other hand, he also manages to survive by having the common sense to do things like wear body armor, and even saves Sawyer and Shenhua from Roberta by intervening at the right time and allowing her to beat him up. And by being clearly BornLucky enough to avoid death when anybody else would have been killed off long ago. Basically, he's GenreSavvy enough to be a merc in Roanapur and not be shot dead within three steps (which, given the [[WretchedHive nature]] of Roanapur, is an achievement in itself) but he's otherwise so [[TooDumbToLive stupid]] that he cannot be taken seriously as a real threat.

* DrinkOrder: Milk, since he CantHoldHisLiquor.

* BadGuyBar: The Yellow Flag, naturally. It seems to be the "main" bar of the city and is where all of the place's criminal factions can meet up at any given time. Balalaika even foots the bill when Roberta blows the place up, indicating that it may be a front for Hotel Moscow. What that means, regarding Bao himself, is anyone's guess.

* ShoutOut: Her name and weapon of choice are one to the family in the original ''Franchise/TheTexasChainsawMassacre'' series.

[[folder:Ray McDougal]]

* HarmlessVillain: She is so ineffectual in her villainy that it's hard to take her seriously. Then the tenth book came out, and changed that magnificently.[[spoiler: Though she gets screwed over in the end]]

[[folder:Lotton the Wizard]]

->Voiced by: Creator/TomokazuSugita (JP), Creator/SamuelVincent (EN)

A handsome, long-coated adventurer introduced during the Greenback Jane arc, he is one of the few survivors of the band of mercenaries hunting for Jane. He now lives with the other two, Shenhua and Sawyer the Cleaner.

[[folder:Horner]]
->Voiced by: Motoi Koyanagi (JP), Jason Simpson (EN)

A Sergeant Major in the Grey Fox unit.

* BigDamnHeroes: When Roberta nearly shoots Garcia (thinking he's a hallucination), Horner broke rank to save him and push her back.
* FriendToAllChildren: Disobeyed orders to save Garcia. His comrades speculate that he did it because Horner has kids back home.

* WillTalkForAPrice: Averted. When Rock tries bribing him into giving him information on the local Italian gang, Bao promptly rejects his attempt, and says that he will gladly tell him what he knows for free, because it is just more convenient for all parties.

Due to the accidental death of Diego Lovelace during a political assassination for which his unit was responsible for, he unwittingly made an enemy out of Roberta - who effectively declared war on him and the entire NSA. With his next assignment being the capture of Shue Yan, an opium harvester located in the Golden Triangle, Caxton and his men were temporarily stationed in Roanapur to await further orders - and giving Roberta a nice scent. This put '''all''' of Roanapur on edge; the Triads, Hotel Moscow, and especially the Cartel given their previous history with her. The [[spoiler:CIA]] too gets involved, due to having a nice fat stake in the opium trade - effectively making the whole ordeal a giant pissing match between the two organizations. As Caxton puts it, he just walked into a "gigantic clusterfuck."

* TheFool: On the one hand, he seems to be a complete ''idiot'', what with his obsession with being "cool" leading him to trying to deliberately invoke shonen style actions that just cause him to get shot at. On the other hand, he also manages to survive by having the common sense to do things like wear body armor, and even saves Sawyer and Shenhua from Roberta by intervening at the right time and allowing her to beat him up. And by being clearly BornLucky enough to avoid death when anybody else would have been killed off long ago. Basically, he's GenreSavvy enough to be a gunman and Roanapur and not be shot dead within three steps (which, given the [[WretchedHive nature]] of Roanapur, is an achievement in itself) but he's otherwise so [[TooDumbToLive stupid]] that he cannot be taken seriously as a real threat.

* ButtMonkey: Her first time in Roanapur sucked incredibly hard. Her colleage gets shot and she has to run from a cartel. Jane goes to the Ripoff Church for sanctuary, and gets [[CaptainObvious ripped off]] by Eda. Eda then betrays her to many contract killers to get more money. Jane gets a little rest in a bad motel, then gets chased by a [[CarnivalofKillers bunch of madmen]] the rest of the night. And Eda kept extorting more and more cash from the unfortunate sod, too.

* ThreatBackfire: When Revy threatens to screw Jane so hard that no-one but Revy will be able to sexually satisfy her ever again, Jane has a look on her face like she was either in awe of the boast, or thinking about making Revy go through with her threat.
