!!Victis
[[folder:As a whole]]
The main cast of ''Black Ops II'', referred to as "Victis". After the blast from the missiles hitting Earth and reducing it to a zombie wasteland, these four come to band together against the undead. These four seem to get along a bit better than the original four did, but they come into contact with both Richtofen and Maxis. As they grow to depend on each other, they must make their choice between the two otherworldly rivals, their actions determining the fate of the world and humanity. They are also the main protagonists in the ''Call of Duty: Zombies'' comic.
----
* BadassCrew: Four survivors who managed to survive an entire decade of the apocalypse.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: All of them, as with Ultimis. However, their pasts are not truly shown or discussed outside of a few random references, and as such are a lot more vague and don't go anywhere, [[AbortedArc eventually getting thrown to the wayside entirely]] by ''Black Ops III''. The timeline does explain some of Russman and Samuel's backstory.
** Misty implies her parents were killed by the zombies years ago.
** Marlton apparently had a part in Russman's departure from Broken Arrow, the latter ending up homeless until the apocalypse.
** Samuel was a member of a fanatic cannibalistic cult that ate zombie flesh, and hides it as best he can.
* FireForgedFriends: They form a powerful alliance as they fight the undead together without end.
* FiveManBand: They form one in ''Buried''.
** TheLeader: Russman, who's led the group this far.
** TheLancer: Misty, who always qualifies as TheHeart as she is able to stop their bickering.
** TheBigGuy: The unnamed giant, who can help access areas for free and fight the zombies.
** TheSmartGuy: Marlton, who will never let you forget it.
** TheChick: Samuel, though this is downplayed compared to past maps, he's definitely more prone to panic than the others.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: They star in the Creator/DarkHorseComics series depicting their adventures post-''Buried''.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: They are fooled into helping Maxis destroy the Earth.
* PlotArmor: Invoked in-game. Richtofen wants them to fulfill his plans to regain ultimate power, and from ''Die Rise'' onward, he begins resurrecting them whenever they fall to the undead so that they can have another chance to work for him.
* ShootTheShaggyDog: They're screwed over ''hard'' after all their work due to siding with Maxis. Eventually Subverted; they're able to provide a key part of Primis Richtofen's plan to save the universe, though, and are put in stasis for safe keeping. [[spoiler: If ''Classified'' and ''Blood of the Dead'' are any indication, their story is far from over.]]
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Their last appearance in ''Black Ops II'' is ''Buried'', having given Maxis the power to destroy the Earth to reach Agartha. The ''Zombies'' timeline eventually revealed that they helped deliver the Kronorium to Primis Richtofen and were put on ice for "when they are needed next". They cameo in ''Blood of the Dead'', but their fate at the end of that map's story is ambiguous once more.

->'''Voiced by''': Stephanie Lemelin

An abrasive young woman who has a crush on Marlton, likes Russman and will grudgingly get along with Samuel.

* BoobsOfSteel: Well-endowed and an extremely kickass combatant.
* FireForgedFriends: Even though she usually hates Samuel, she still considers him a member of the team.
* FingerlessGloves: For a couple of frames in Buried's opening cutscene, most likely an artistic error.
* {{Gasshole}}: She belches loudly and shamelessly, to the point the game's own wiki notes that she burps the loudest out of everyone on the team upon drinking Perk-A-Cola, and seems to be proud of it.
* TheHeart: She is able to end the others' bickering in the opening cutscene of ''Buried'' and rallies them to keep going.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Russman.
* KnifeNut: Mentions being a champion in knife-fighting.
* TheLeader: She seems to alternate the role with Russman.
* MsFanservice: Pretty much the only reason she continues to wear such revealing clothing in a middle of a zombie apocalypse.
* ShipTease: With Marlton. She's far more open about her feelings to the point of what's implied to be ''very'' direct sexual advances, while he doesn't openly reciprocate. When Marlton fails to openly reciprocate, she gradually stops flirting with him.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: The only female member of the ''[=TranZit=]'' group.
* StepfordSmiler: Well, she's not necessarily smiling, but she was putting on a lot of bravado to keep the others going. Various comments in ''Buried'' indicate she's very broken by this point.
* UglyGuyHotWife: While they never end up together and Marlton isn't exactly ugly, he is overall unpleasant yet the beautiful, nice Misty is in love with him.
* WillTheyOrWontThey: With Marlton.

->'''Voiced by''': Creator/ScottMenville

A self-loving nerd, who was present at Nuketown when the missiles hit. Afterwards, he met up with Misty, who he ended up developing feelings for, and later Russman and Samuel, the both of whom he shares a mutual hatred.
----
* BadassBeard: Sports a goatee.
* BadassBookworm: He's a zombie-fighting nerd.
* {{Claustrophobia}}: He's afraid it'll kick in when riding upon the bus.
* EarlyBirdCameo: If you knife the fallout shelter in ''Nuketown Zombies'', you can hear him locked in there. This is set ten years before the start of ''[=TranZit=]''.
* FriendlySniper: His preferred weapon is the DSR-50, and can be seen wielding one in ''Die Rise'''s opening cutscene.
* {{Jerkass}}: While the others will happily snark at each other, they are when it comes down to it friends. Marlton is far more abraisive, and pretty ungrateful when revived, usually wanting you to get away from him. The only one he seems soft towards is Misty, and even then he won't exactly openly reciprocate her feelings. While most characters have one character they hate, one they are neutral towards, and one they like, Marlton hates two of the other three, and he's not that much better around Misty as it is.
* PrecisionFStrike: In ''Buried'', when killing a zombie that attacked him.
-->'''Marlton''': It is rare for me to resort to profanity, but would you please just ''fuck off''!
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Often speaks in overly complicated diction.
* ShipTease: With Misty. The two clearly have feelings for one another, but the zombie apocalypse isn't the best place to have a romance. Plus, Marlton's all about his no-touch policy anyway.
* SoleSurvivor: The only one to walk away from Nuketown after Maxis' missiles struck the site.
* SpecsOfAwesome: He wears large glasses.
* TerrifiedOfGerms: And considering he's surviving in a post-apocalyptic nightmare, he's pretty screwed.

A paranoid conspiracy theorist, who's the only one who can hear Richtofen's voice in his head. He's friends with Russman, grudgingly gets along with Misty, and like Russman, shares a mutual hatred with Marlton.
----
* BadassMustache: Sports a mustache.
* BigEater: He's always hungry and often complaining about what he'd like to eat. Whether it's [[BreadEggsMilkSquick booze, cheese, or zombie flesh]].
* BookDumb: From the quotes he has, he does not sound too intelligent in terms of... standard education.
* TheCameo: A voiced one, no less, in both ''Classified'' and ''Blood of the Dead''.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: At times; compared to the other survivors, some of his quotes come off as total non-sequiturs.
* CrazySurvivalist: Thanks to his paranoia.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: After the apocalypse began, Samuel joined up with The Flesh, a cult that consumed zombie flesh to survive. Eating 115-laced meat caused them to hear the voice and demands of Richtofen, leading them to go to war with a group of survivors who followed Maxis. During the ensuing battle, a horde of zombies came and killed most of the two groups, with Samuel being one of the few survivors of The Flesh.
* FireForgedFriends: With Misty. He usually returns her dislike of him, but he's willing to listen to her and regard her more as a valuable comrade as the group's story progresses.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: He's the most unpopular member of Victis. Both Misty and Marlton hate him, while Russman, who even Samuel sees as a "buddy", grows more exasperated with him as time goes on. This plays a large part in why Victis ultimately sides with Maxis as opposed to listening to Samuel and Richtofen.
* HearingVoices: Richtofen's, to be exact. It gets flipped on its' head when [[spoiler: ''Blood of the Dead'', Richtofen actually hears ''Samuel's'' voice in his head. The irony is not lost on either of them.]]
* [[ImAHumanitarian I'm a Zombietarian:]] A well-kept secret of his, and likely the reason for both his ability to hear Richtofen and his seemingly random comments about being hungry after killing zombies.
* TheLancer: Misty observed that Samuel was Russman's lancer when they met, or his "lapdog".
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Makes several sexist remarks about Misty.
* RightWingMilitiaFanatic: Gives off plenty of comments indicating this, especially in ''[=TranZit=]'' when he makes several sexist comments about Misty.
* SharingABody: If you complete all easter eggs in Richtofen's favor, he will enter Samuel's body. Samuel isn't pleased.
* SoleSurvivor: He is one of the few survivors of The Flesh.
* SpecsOfAwesome: Wears glasses.
* TheSmartGuy: Considers himself this, but Russman claims he only knows what Richtofen tells him to think.
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Russman. They traveled together in the bus before finding Marlton and Misty in [=TranZit=].
* TookALevelInBadass: In ''Buried'', he sounds a lot more confident than in the other maps. Judging from his recent redesign, he may have been a recent attack, and survived.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Cheese.

* WordOfStPaul: Dave Boat, his voice actor, claims that Samuel is a former CIA agent.

An elderly survivor suffering from Alzheimer's, who was a homeless man before the missiles hit. He's good friends with Samuel and Misty, but has a mutual hatred with Marlton. He acts as the group's leader following Die Rise.
----
* BlackDudeDiesFirst: PlayedWith in ''Die Rise''. He's killed in the opening cinematic by a Jumping Jack, but it's revealed that whenever Victis falls to the undead, Richtofen uses his powers to bring them back.
* CoolOldGuy: A mostly pleasant, funny old man.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: He was a member of Broken Arrow, America's answer to Group 935 formed after the Pentagon outbreak, but left after suffering from dementia and Alzheimer's brought on by exposure to 115. He became homeless before meeting up with and surviving with Samuel when the zombie apocalypse came.

The 35th president of the United States. He is forced to fight for his life alongside his allies and rivals when the Pentagon is overrun by zombies.
----
* AlternateHistory: ''Ascension'' and ''Revelations'' reveal that in one fractured timeline, he actually died at the Pentagon during the zombie attack.
* EnemyMine: Not a big fan of Castro, understandably, but still stands alongside him in their LastStand. More downplayed with Nixon, who ran against him in the election. [[spoiler: ''Classified'' reveals that the true purpose of the fateful Pentagon meeting was to form an alliance with Castro against the threat of Samantha.]]
* ForgivenButNotForgotten: He invites Nixon to the meeting with Castro as a gesture of goodwill - "forgive your enemies, but remember their names."
* TheLeader: Is nominally in charge of the four, as he's the president and all.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Subverted. He barely blinks at the sight of zombies approaching, but as the lower levels of the Pentagon make clear, the American government was well acquainted with 115, Group 935, and the whole zombie shebang.

* TheCameo: As Radios in both ''Revelations'' and ''Classified''.
* EnemyMine: He's even more hostile to Castro than Kennedy, but is forced to team up with him.
* TheLancer: As the only member of the group with absolute loyalty to Kennedy and his de facto right hand man.

The dictator of Cuba and leader of a Communist revolution. After the Cuban Missile Crisis, he meets with Kennedy's group to try to hash out a peace before they are attacked.
----
* AlternateHistory: He is killed in the Pentagon attack before he could become president of Cuba in at least one fractured timeline.
* EnemyMine: It's plainly obvious why he's not on good terms with Kennedy and America at the time of the attack, but he nevertheless teams up with them for their survival.

He is the only character whose real-life counterpart was alive at the time of the release of ''Black Ops'' in 2010 [[note]]Kennedy of course died in 1963, Nixon died in 1994, [=McNamara=] in 2009, and Castro himself died in late 2016, six years after ''"Five"''[[/note]].

----
* ActionGirl: It ''is'' [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Sarah Michelle Gellar]] after all.
* BareYourMidriff: Thanks to playing a MsFanservice character, even in the cold of Siberia, her belly is exposed as if it were a summer day. She often lampshades this during several quotes.
* CelebritySurvivor: If ''you'' were caught in a ZombieApocalypse you could frankly do a whole lot worse than Buffy the Vampire Slayer herself by your side.
* DoesntLikeGuns: Surprisingly averted for the actress.
* InkSuitActor: Or rather Ink Suit Character: from hefting a minigun bigger than she is tall to her general personality, quips and fighting prowess, while they borrow from some of her other roles and the woman herself Sarah is basically a stand in for her most famous role.
* MsFanservice: She was clearly intended to be so in the film-within-a-game, and serves as this in the game proper. Which is the only reason she's wearing such revealing clothes in the cold conditions.
* ShoutOut: Most if not all of them are to...well, ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''.
* TheLeader: Appears in this role for the film and assumes it when the zombies arrive.

!Alcatraz Mobsters
[[folder:In general]]
A group of mobsters who have been incarcerated in Alcatraz for some time thanks to their own misdeeds. Their plan to escape goes awry as they are caught up in the zombie story when Alcatraz is overrun with the undead. Their attempts to escape and even to kill themselves are thwarted every single time, since they just keep coming back. Desperate to escape the hellish nightmare, the four learn the truth behind their fates, and must break the cycle if they've any hope of escaping and finding out where they are going from here.
----
* AndIMustScream: They're trapped in a prison fighting zombies over and over in a loop, and are far from happy when they find that fact out.
* BadassCrew: They've been fighting zombies conjured by Satan for God know how long.
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:They end up being instrumental in stopping Brutus and freeing the souls in Alcatraz once and for all.]]
* BlackSheep: Not counting the Exo Zombies, Infinite Warfare Zombies and Sledgehammer Nazi Zombies continuities, the Mobsters are the only group in Treyarch Zombies where their story is not related to the rest of it in the slightest. As it turns out, this means their universe was one of the very few sealed off to the Apothicons, something Primis!Richtofen was counting on.
* DeadAllAlong: It's revealed that the four mobsters are damned to a purgatory where they escape the prison, only to go back, over and over again.
* {{Determinator}}: They're getting out of Alcatraz and even God wouldn't prevent them from doing so. Satan, on the other hand...
* TheMafia: Sal was TheDon, Billy his hitman, Finn was in charge of gambling and fraud and Albert was the money handler.
* RageAgainstTheHeavens: Their reaction when they remember/discover that they're in Hell/Purgatory is ''not'' acceptance
-->'''Sal:''' So this is my punchline. The universe taking its grand revenge for all my misdeeds. Well, I ain't taking it. You hear me? I ain't playing anymore. I don't regret a damn thing. If I had my time over, I'd do it all again. Every fucking part of it. So universe, you wanna know what I think? I think, you can go fuck yourself!
-->'''Finn:''' This is all just a game isn't it? A big, twisted, fucked-up game. What am I supposed to do, come to some great realization about my life? Throw myself to the ground, beg for forgiveness? Well I got news for you, not gonna happen.
-->'''Billy:''' Am I stuck here until I see the error of my ways?! Until I repent? Well you're gonna have to wait a long time. Because I don't regret a damn thing!
* TheReveal: Two, one in their map and another in ''Black Ops III'';
** "Mob of the Dead": They've been trapped in Purgetory for God knows how long, fighting demonic beings, for murdering Weasel after his plane plan didn't take off. This one is more ItWasHisSled territory nowadays.
** ''Black Ops III'': They've not been corrupted by the Apthoicons and thus remain after their defeat, something Primis!Richtofen uses to his advantage by taking blood from each of them to avoid him and his team vanishing from reality after the Apothicons have been dealt with.
** ''Blood of the Dead'' later confirms that the Alcatraz purgatory is a pocket dimension separate from the rest of the multiverse.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: None of them particularly ''like'' each other, but they work together well enough. Until TheReveal, that is.
* ToHellAndBack: Only Weasel gets to walk away though, if the cycle is broken.

A mob boss who was sent to Alcatraz for his crimes of bootlegging, gambling, and prostitution.
----
* AffablyEvil: He's very polite and professional, but dips into FauxAffablyEvil territory towards the end of the story.
* TheChainsOfCommanding: It's heavily implied by one of his downed speeches that he didn't particularly like being a mob boss.
--> '''Sal''': All those years, pulling and pushing those guys into shape, teaching them the value of respect. You had to kiss-ass to all those creeps at city hall, Mayor's office, and worst of all, Chicago's finest. They were all too happy to take your money. Kickback after kickback, bribe after bribe.
* ClusterFBomb: Along with Billy, the f word seems to be a major staple of his vocabulary.

* BloodKnight: The most eager of the mobsters to fight.
* TheBrute: Of the four mobsters.
* ColdSniper: Defied, Billy wants to be as close as possible actually.
--> '''Billy''': (''after receiving a sniper rifle from the box'') I'll take it, but I won't like it.
* DecoyProtagonist: He's at the forefront of the ''Mob of the Dead'' "movie poster" released by Treyarch, and narrated the first trailer. However, it's ultimately Weasel who breaks the cycle and brings the story to its conclusion. [[spoiler:He doesn't even return for ''Blood'' when the others do.]]
* FaceHeelTurn: At the end of the major Easter Egg, he turns against The Weasel and tries to kill him.
* HumanSacrifice: As with Sal and Finn, his execution was partially to satisfy the Warden's dark master.
* SmokingIsCool: Lights a cigarrette in the intro.
* MoreDakka: His preferred way of fighting the zeds.
* PsychoForHire: For Sal's mob.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Even among the group of hardened, murderous criminals, Billy stands out as the most violent and psychopathic of them all. [[spoiler: Notably, he does not return in ''Blood of the Dead'' to help the others fight Brutus, suggesting that he really was damned to hell.]]

* FightingIrish: Makes a few references to his Irish heritage.

* HumanSacrifice: His death by electric chair was not just capital punishment, the Warden was instructed to kill him by his unseen dark master.
* {{Oireland}}: As evidenced by some of his quotes.

->''If they don't already suspect you they will soon.''
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/JoePantoliano
->'''Appearances''': ''Mob of the Dead''
A con man who was also the money handler of Sal's mob.
----
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: At the climax of ''Blood of the Dead'', his soul, along with the souls of Sal and Finn, help fight Brutus to give Primis a chance to save Alcatraz's captured souls, along with his own.]]
* TheCameo: You can wear his hat in ''Revelations''. It can be found in the open cell on the left just before the entrance to the trenches of the ''Origins'' section that is opened after the power is turned on.
* DirtyCoward: When he see himself about to fight zombies, he bolts, leaving the others to fend for themselves. Rather predictably, he's the first to die. Possibly justified; as he's gone through this so many times, it's very possible he knew what was going to happen and at what time to make his move to escape, though he clearly mistimed it.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: One of Weasel's downed monologues alludes to this being a prime motivator for many of his actions, particularly his propensity to stretch the truth. A particular truth he stretched concerned his plane Icarus, which, in real life, failed miserably and lead to his death.
--> '''Weasel''': Rejection hurts. But it's not the worst thing...is it, Albert? What really hurts is to be ignored. You know how that feels better than anyone, don't you? Sure, they want your skills, your expertise, but only on their terms. They don't care what else you have to offer. How different you could be, if only they noticed you. Is that why you lie to them - why you promise things you can't deliver?
* EnemyMine: Joins Brutus in the EasterEgg finale to ensure he himself lives.
* FinalBoss: Of ''Mob of the Dead'': his allies turn against him at the end of the map's easter egg. Inverted if you're playing as him, in which case the other playable characters are his final opponent.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: ''None'' of the other mobsters like him, as evidenced by their quotes. The easter egg reveals they even killed him, then try again in the easter egg's climax. They hate him so much, he qualifies as an InUniverse [[TheScrappy Scrappy]].
* InfinityPlusOneSword: Loves these types of weapons, including the RayGun and the [[{{ShotgunsAreJustBetter}} Blundergat]].
* KillEmAll: To break the cycle (get the ''good'' ending for the easter egg), Weasel has to kill the others. Killing ''him'' results in the ''bad'' ending, which continues the cycle.
* RippleEffectProofMemory: Not ''completely'' immune but one of his quotes is him asking (and pleading) the others to tell him something they did the day before just so he knows they haven't been trapped forever. Other quotes have him saying him he has a very strong feeling of having already done those things before.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Despite his being a prolific con man, he's still a decent dude (at the very least nowhere near as psychotic as the others) and Brutus even helps him escape the Hell of the cycle.

!!Victis
[[folder:As a whole]]
The main cast of ''Black Ops II'', referred to as "Victis". After the blast from the missiles hitting Earth and reducing it to a zombie wasteland, these four come to band together against the undead. These four seem to get along a bit better than the original four did, but they come into contact with both Richtofen and Maxis. As they grow to depend on each other, they must make their choice between the two otherworldly rivals, their actions determining the fate of the world and humanity. They are also the main protagonists in the ''Call of Duty: Zombies'' comic.
----
* BadassCrew: Four survivors who managed to survive an entire decade of the apocalypse.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: All of them, as with Ultimis. However, their pasts are not truly shown or discussed outside of a few random references, and as such are a lot more vague and don't go anywhere, [[AbortedArc eventually getting thrown to the wayside entirely]] by ''Black Ops III''. The timeline does explain some of Russman and Samuel's backstory.
** Misty implies her parents were killed by the zombies years ago.
** Marlton apparently had a part in Russman's departure from Broken Arrow, the latter ending up homeless until the apocalypse.
** Samuel was a member of a fanatic cannibalistic cult that ate zombie flesh, and hides it as best he can.
* FireForgedFriends: They form a powerful alliance as they fight the undead together without end.
* FiveManBand: They form one in ''Buried''.
** TheLeader: Russman, who's led the group this far.
** TheLancer: Misty, who always qualifies as TheHeart as she is able to stop their bickering.
** TheBigGuy: The unnamed giant, who can help access areas for free and fight the zombies.
** TheSmartGuy: Marlton, who will never let you forget it.
** TheChick: Samuel, though this is downplayed compared to past maps, he's definitely more prone to panic than the others.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: They star in the Creator/DarkHorseComics series depicting their adventures post-''Buried''.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: They are fooled into helping Maxis destroy the Earth.
* PlotArmor: Invoked in-game. Richtofen wants them to fulfill his plans to regain ultimate power, and from ''Die Rise'' onward, he begins resurrecting them whenever they fall to the undead so that they can have another chance to work for him.
* ShootTheShaggyDog: They're screwed over ''hard'' after all their work due to siding with Maxis. Eventually Subverted; they're able to provide a key part of Primis Richtofen's plan to save the universe, though, and are put in stasis for safe keeping. [[spoiler: If ''Classified'' and ''Blood of the Dead'' are any indication, their story is far from over.]]
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Their last appearance in ''Black Ops II'' is ''Buried'', having given Maxis the power to destroy the Earth to reach Agartha. The ''Zombies'' timeline eventually revealed that they helped deliver the Kronorium to Primis Richtofen and were put on ice for "when they are needed next". They cameo in ''Blood of the Dead'', but their fate at the end of that map's story is ambiguous once more.

* BareYourMidriff: Her stomach is completely exposed thanks to her MsFanservice get-up.
* BoobsOfSteel: Well-endowed and an extremely kickass combatant.
* FireForgedFriends: Even though she usually hates Samuel, she still considers him a member of the team.
* FingerlessGloves: For a couple of frames in Buried's opening cutscene, most likely an artistic error.
* {{Gasshole}}: She belches loudly and shamelessly, to the point the game's own wiki notes that she burps the loudest out of everyone on the team upon drinking Perk-A-Cola, and seems to be proud of it.
* TheHeart: She is able to end the others' bickering in the opening cutscene of ''Buried'' and rallies them to keep going.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Russman.
* KnifeNut: Mentions being a champion in knife-fighting.

* ShipTease: With Marlton. She's far more open about her feelings to the point of what's implied to be ''very'' direct sexual advances, while he doesn't openly reciprocate. When Marlton fails to openly reciprocate, she gradually stops flirting with him.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: The only female member of the ''[=TranZit=]'' group.

* FriendlySniper: His preferred weapon is the DSR-50, and can be seen wielding one in ''Die Rise'''s opening cutscene.
* {{Jerkass}}: While the others will happily snark at each other, they are when it comes down to it friends. Marlton is far more abraisive, and pretty ungrateful when revived, usually wanting you to get away from him. The only one he seems soft towards is Misty, and even then he won't exactly openly reciprocate her feelings. While most characters have one character they hate, one they are neutral towards, and one they like, Marlton hates two of the other three, and he's not that much better around Misty as it is.
* PrecisionFStrike: In ''Buried'', when killing a zombie that attacked him.
-->'''Marlton''': It is rare for me to resort to profanity, but would you please just ''fuck off''!
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Often speaks in overly complicated diction.
* ShipTease: With Misty. The two clearly have feelings for one another, but the zombie apocalypse isn't the best place to have a romance. Plus, Marlton's all about his no-touch policy anyway.
* SoleSurvivor: The only one to walk away from Nuketown after Maxis' missiles struck the site.
* SpecsOfAwesome: He wears large glasses.

During the ensuing battle, a horde of zombies came and killed most of the two groups, with Samuel being one of the few survivors of The Flesh.
* FireForgedFriends: With Misty. He usually returns her dislike of him, but he's willing to listen to her and regard her more as a valuable comrade as the group's story progresses.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: He's the most unpopular member of Victis. Both Misty and Marlton hate him, while Russman, who even Samuel sees as a "buddy", grows more exasperated with him as time goes on. This plays a large part in why Victis ultimately sides with Maxis as opposed to listening to Samuel and Richtofen.
* HearingVoices: Richtofen's, to be exact. It gets flipped on its' head when [[spoiler: ''Blood of the Dead'', Richtofen actually hears ''Samuel's'' voice in his head. The irony is not lost on either of them.]]
* [[ImAHumanitarian I'm a Zombietarian:]] A well-kept secret of his, and likely the reason for both his ability to hear Richtofen and his seemingly random comments about being hungry after killing zombies.
* TheLancer: Misty observed that Samuel was Russman's lancer when they met, or his "lapdog".
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Makes several sexist remarks about Misty.
* RightWingMilitiaFanatic: Gives off plenty of comments indicating this, especially in ''[=TranZit=]'' when he makes several sexist comments about Misty.
* SharingABody: If you complete all easter eggs in Richtofen's favor, he will enter Samuel's body. Samuel isn't pleased.
* SoleSurvivor: He is one of the few survivors of The Flesh.
* SpecsOfAwesome: Wears glasses.
* TheSmartGuy: Considers himself this, but Russman claims he only knows what Richtofen tells him to think.
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Russman. They traveled together in the bus before finding Marlton and Misty in [=TranZit=].
* TookALevelInBadass: In ''Buried'', he sounds a lot more confident than in the other maps. Judging from his recent redesign, he may have been a recent attack, and survived.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Cheese.
* WeaponOfChoice: {{Handguns}}.
* WordOfStPaul: Dave Boat, his voice actor, claims that Samuel is a former CIA agent.

An elderly survivor suffering from Alzheimer's, who was a homeless man before the missiles hit. He's good friends with Samuel and Misty, but has a mutual hatred with Marlton. He acts as the group's leader following Die Rise.
----
* BlackDudeDiesFirst: PlayedWith in ''Die Rise''. He's killed in the opening cinematic by a Jumping Jack, but it's revealed that whenever Victis falls to the undead, Richtofen uses his powers to bring them back.
* CoolOldGuy: A mostly pleasant, funny old man.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: He was a member of Broken Arrow, America's answer to Group 935 formed after the Pentagon outbreak, but left after suffering from dementia and Alzheimer's brought on by exposure to 115.

* TheLeader: He led the group on foot from ''Die Rise'' to ''Buried'', and was the more dominant between him and Samuel before they met Marlton and Misty.
* NoodleIncident: Something happened that resulted in his departure from Broken Arrow, but it's implied it had something to do with Marlton apparently not keeping his mouth shut.

->''Do not pray for easy lives, my friends. Pray to be stronger men.''
->'''Voiced by''': Jim Meskimen
->'''Appearances''': ''"Five"'' | ''Ascension''
The 35th president of the United States. He is forced to fight for his life alongside his allies and rivals when the Pentagon is overrun by zombies.
----
* AlternateHistory: ''Ascension'' and ''Revelations'' reveal that in one fractured timeline, he actually died at the Pentagon during the zombie attack.
* EnemyMine: Not a big fan of Castro, understandably, but still stands alongside him in their LastStand. More downplayed with Nixon, who ran against him in the election. [[spoiler: ''Classified'' reveals that the true purpose of the fateful Pentagon meeting was to form an alliance with Castro against the threat of Samantha.]]
* ForgivenButNotForgotten: He invites Nixon to the meeting with Castro as a gesture of goodwill - "forgive your enemies, but remember their names."
* TheLeader: Is nominally in charge of the four, as he's the president and all.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Subverted. He barely blinks at the sight of zombies approaching, but as the lower levels of the Pentagon make clear, the American government was well acquainted with 115, Group 935, and the whole zombie shebang.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Robert [=McNamara=]]]
!Secretary Robert [=McNamara=]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/RobertPicardo
->'''Appearances''': ''"Five"'' | ''Revelations'' | ''Classified''
Secretary of State under President Kennedy. He's Kennedy's most loyal supporter and unofficial bodyguard during the attack on the Pentagon.
----
* BackForTheFinale: Makes a surprise return in an audio log found in ''Revelations'', the final map of ''Black Ops III''.
* BadassBookworm: Perhaps the brainiest of the four and still slaughtering zombies with the rest of them.
* TheCameo: As Radios in both ''Revelations'' and ''Classified''.
* EnemyMine: He's even more hostile to Castro than Kennedy, but is forced to team up with him.
* TheLancer: As the only member of the group with absolute loyalty to Kennedy and his de facto right hand man.
* MyGreatestFailure: Deeply regrets not being able to save the president (and to a lesser extent Nixon and Castro) in his final log.
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: In his final audio log, he derogatorily suggests that the zombies are actually a bunch of "hippies".
* SoleSurvivor: He was the last surviving member of the four for a while in one fractured dimension, and got out one last distress signal that the ''Origins'' crew listens to in ''Revelations''.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Kennedy.

The Republican candidate for president who lost to Kennedy, who bears him no ill will and invites him to the Pentagon for a meeting with Castro.
----
* AlternateHistory: Nixon never became president in one fractured ''Zombies'' timeline, having been killed in the Pentagon attack.
* TheBigGuy: The least... put together of the four, and also one of their best fighters.
* CassandraTruth: When Nixon hears a zombie encroaching on the group, he jumps up and starts panicking, and Kennedy dryly assures him it was just a storm outside. Moments later, it's proven that they really ''are'' in danger.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: He has become a nominal ally to Kennedy in the wake of his defeat in the election.
* GracefulLoser: He's accepted his defeat at Kennedy's hands and now submits to his command in the attack.
* SanitySlippage: On full display in the opening when he immediately flips out upon hearing a zombie approaching.

->'''Appearances''': ''"Five"'' | ''Ascension''
The dictator of Cuba and leader of a Communist revolution. After the Cuban Missile Crisis, he meets with Kennedy's group to try to hash out a peace before they are attacked.
----
* AlternateHistory: He is killed in the Pentagon attack before he could become president of Cuba in at least one fractured timeline.
* EnemyMine: It's plainly obvious why he's not on good terms with Kennedy and America at the time of the attack, but he nevertheless teams up with them for their survival.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Subverted. He is the only character whose real-life counterpart was alive at the time of the release of ''Black Ops'' in 2010 [[note]]Kennedy of course died in 1963, Nixon died in 1994, [=McNamara=] in 2009, and Castro himself died in late 2016, six years after ''"Five"''[[/note]].

----
* ActionGirl: It ''is'' [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Sarah Michelle Gellar]] after all.
* BareYourMidriff: Thanks to playing a MsFanservice character, even in the cold of Siberia, her belly is exposed as if it were a summer day. She often lampshades this during several quotes.
* CelebritySurvivor: If ''you'' were caught in a ZombieApocalypse you could frankly do a whole lot worse than Buffy the Vampire Slayer herself by your side.
* DoesntLikeGuns: Surprisingly averted for the actress.
* InkSuitActor: Or rather Ink Suit Character: from hefting a minigun bigger than she is tall to her general personality, quips and fighting prowess, while they borrow from some of her other roles and the woman herself Sarah is basically a stand in for her most famous role.
* MsFanservice: She was clearly intended to be so in the film-within-a-game, and serves as this in the game proper. Which is the only reason she's wearing such revealing clothes in the cold conditions.
* ShoutOut: Most if not all of them are to...well, ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''.
* TheLeader: Appears in this role for the film and assumes it when the zombies arrive.

!Alcatraz Mobsters
[[folder:In general]]
A group of mobsters who have been incarcerated in Alcatraz for some time thanks to their own misdeeds. Their plan to escape goes awry as they are caught up in the zombie story when Alcatraz is overrun with the undead. Their attempts to escape and even to kill themselves are thwarted every single time, since they just keep coming back. Desperate to escape the hellish nightmare, the four learn the truth behind their fates, and must break the cycle if they've any hope of escaping and finding out where they are going from here.
----
* AndIMustScream: They're trapped in a prison fighting zombies over and over in a loop, and are far from happy when they find that fact out.
* BadassCrew: They've been fighting zombies conjured by Satan for God know how long.
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:They end up being instrumental in stopping Brutus and freeing the souls in Alcatraz once and for all.]]
* BlackSheep: Not counting the Exo Zombies, Infinite Warfare Zombies and Sledgehammer Nazi Zombies continuities, the Mobsters are the only group in Treyarch Zombies where their story is not related to the rest of it in the slightest. As it turns out, this means their universe was one of the very few sealed off to the Apothicons, something Primis!Richtofen was counting on.
* DeadAllAlong: It's revealed that the four mobsters are damned to a purgatory where they escape the prison, only to go back, over and over again.
* {{Determinator}}: They're getting out of Alcatraz and even God wouldn't prevent them from doing so. Satan, on the other hand...
* TheMafia: Sal was TheDon, Billy his hitman, Finn was in charge of gambling and fraud and Albert was the money handler.
* RageAgainstTheHeavens: Their reaction when they remember/discover that they're in Hell/Purgatory is ''not'' acceptance
-->'''Sal:''' So this is my punchline. The universe taking its grand revenge for all my misdeeds. Well, I ain't taking it. You hear me? I ain't playing anymore. I don't regret a damn thing. If I had my time over, I'd do it all again. Every fucking part of it. So universe, you wanna know what I think? I think, you can go fuck yourself!
-->'''Finn:''' This is all just a game isn't it? A big, twisted, fucked-up game. What am I supposed to do, come to some great realization about my life? Throw myself to the ground, beg for forgiveness? Well I got news for you, not gonna happen.
-->'''Billy:''' Am I stuck here until I see the error of my ways?! Until I repent? Well you're gonna have to wait a long time. Because I don't regret a damn thing!
* TheReveal: Two, one in their map and another in ''Black Ops III'';
** "Mob of the Dead": They've been trapped in Purgetory for God knows how long, fighting demonic beings, for murdering Weasel after his plane plan didn't take off. This one is more ItWasHisSled territory nowadays.
** ''Black Ops III'': They've not been corrupted by the Apthoicons and thus remain after their defeat, something Primis!Richtofen uses to his advantage by taking blood from each of them to avoid him and his team vanishing from reality after the Apothicons have been dealt with.
** ''Blood of the Dead'' later confirms that the Alcatraz purgatory is a pocket dimension separate from the rest of the multiverse.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: None of them particularly ''like'' each other, but they work together well enough. Until TheReveal, that is.
* ToHellAndBack: Only Weasel gets to walk away though, if the cycle is broken.

->'''Appearances''': ''Mob of the Dead'' | [[spoiler: ''Blood of the Dead'']]
A mob boss who was sent to Alcatraz for his crimes of bootlegging, gambling, and prostitution.
----
* AffablyEvil: He's very polite and professional, but dips into FauxAffablyEvil territory towards the end of the story.
* TheChainsOfCommanding: It's heavily implied by one of his downed speeches that he didn't particularly like being a mob boss.
--> '''Sal''': All those years, pulling and pushing those guys into shape, teaching them the value of respect. You had to kiss-ass to all those creeps at city hall, Mayor's office, and worst of all, Chicago's finest. They were all too happy to take your money. Kickback after kickback, bribe after bribe.
* ClusterFBomb: Along with Billy, the f word seems to be a major staple of his vocabulary.
* DeathEqualsRedemption: [[spoiler: In ''Blood of the Dead'', he, Finn, and Al help hold off Brutus long enough for Primis to progress to the final boss fight to save their souls.]]
* TheDon: Led a successful gang until the police finally quit turning a blind eye to him.
* FaceHeelTurn: At the end of the major Easter egg, he turns against The Weasel and tries to kill him.
* FriendlyEnemy: He genuinely liked Ferguson, a guard in Alcatraz, and regrets having him killed.
* HumanSacrifice: The Warden executed him not just for killing Weasel, but to appease his Satanic master.
* KickTheDog: He knowingly leaves Billy to die in the opening cinematic. He, along with Finn and Billy, also murdered the more sympathetic Weasel.
* TheMafia: Leads one.

->'''Voiced by''': Ray Liotta
->'''Appearances''': ''Mob of the Dead''

----
* AxCrazy: He really likes to kill zombies.
* BloodKnight: The most eager of the mobsters to fight.
* TheBrute: Of the four mobsters.
* ColdSniper: Defied, Billy wants to be as close as possible actually.
--> '''Billy''': (''after receiving a sniper rifle from the box'') I'll take it, but I won't like it.
* DecoyProtagonist: He's at the forefront of the ''Mob of the Dead'' "movie poster" released by Treyarch, and narrated the first trailer. However, it's ultimately Weasel who breaks the cycle and brings the story to its conclusion. [[spoiler:He doesn't even return for ''Blood'' when the others do.]]
* FaceHeelTurn: At the end of the major Easter Egg, he turns against The Weasel and tries to kill him.
* HumanSacrifice: As with Sal and Finn, his execution was partially to satisfy the Warden's dark master.
* SmokingIsCool: Lights a cigarrette in the intro.
* MoreDakka: His preferred way of fighting the zeds.
* PsychoForHire: For Sal's mob.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Even among the group of hardened, murderous criminals, Billy stands out as the most violent and psychopathic of them all. [[spoiler: Notably, he does not return in ''Blood of the Dead'' to help the others fight Brutus, suggesting that he really was damned to hell.]]
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Averted, he's still on good terms with Sal, despite Sal closing the door on him, resulting in his eventual devourment by the zombies.

An Irish-American con man who was married to a silent film actress, whom then backstabbed him and got him sent to Alcatraz.
----
* DeathEqualsRedemption: [[spoiler: At the climax of ''Blood of the Dead'', he helps Sal and Al fight off Brutus long enough for Primis to succeed in saving the captured souls of Alcatraz, helping him pass on to the afterlife in peace.]]
* FaceHeelTurn: At the end of the major Easter Egg, he turns against The Weasel and tries to kill him.
* FightingIrish: Makes a few references to his Irish heritage.
* FriendlyEnemy: He and Ferguson liked each other, even exchanging horse racing tips in the intro.
* HumanSacrifice: His death by electric chair was not just capital punishment, the Warden was instructed to kill him by his unseen dark master.
* {{Oireland}}: As evidenced by some of his quotes.
* TheEvilGenius: He's a highly intelligent con-man who also was able to successfully bet on several horse races.

!Albert "The Weasel" Arlington
->''If they don't already suspect you they will soon.''
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/JoePantoliano
->'''Appearances''': ''Mob of the Dead''
A con man who was also the money handler of Sal's mob.
----
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: At the climax of ''Blood of the Dead'', his soul, along with the souls of Sal and Finn, help fight Brutus to give Primis a chance to save Alcatraz's captured souls, along with his own.]]
* TheCameo: You can wear his hat in ''Revelations''. It can be found in the open cell on the left just before the entrance to the trenches of the ''Origins'' section that is opened after the power is turned on.
* DirtyCoward: When he see himself about to fight zombies, he bolts, leaving the others to fend for themselves. Rather predictably, he's the first to die. Possibly justified; as he's gone through this so many times, it's very possible he knew what was going to happen and at what time to make his move to escape, though he clearly mistimed it.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: One of Weasel's downed monologues alludes to this being a prime motivator for many of his actions, particularly his propensity to stretch the truth. A particular truth he stretched concerned his plane Icarus, which, in real life, failed miserably and lead to his death.
--> '''Weasel''': Rejection hurts. But it's not the worst thing...is it, Albert? What really hurts is to be ignored. You know how that feels better than anyone, don't you? Sure, they want your skills, your expertise, but only on their terms. They don't care what else you have to offer. How different you could be, if only they noticed you. Is that why you lie to them - why you promise things you can't deliver?
* EnemyMine: Joins Brutus in the EasterEgg finale to ensure he himself lives.
* FinalBoss: Of ''Mob of the Dead'': his allies turn against him at the end of the map's easter egg. Inverted if you're playing as him, in which case the other playable characters are his final opponent.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: ''None'' of the other mobsters like him, as evidenced by their quotes. The easter egg reveals they even killed him, then try again in the easter egg's climax. They hate him so much, he qualifies as an InUniverse [[TheScrappy Scrappy]].
* InfinityPlusOneSword: Loves these types of weapons, including the RayGun and the [[{{ShotgunsAreJustBetter}} Blundergat]].
* KillEmAll: To break the cycle (get the ''good'' ending for the easter egg), Weasel has to kill the others. Killing ''him'' results in the ''bad'' ending, which continues the cycle.
* RippleEffectProofMemory: Not ''completely'' immune but one of his quotes is him asking (and pleading) the others to tell him something they did the day before just so he knows they haven't been trapped forever. Other quotes have him saying him he has a very strong feeling of having already done those things before.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Despite his being a prolific con man, he's still a decent dude (at the very least nowhere near as psychotic as the others) and Brutus even helps him escape the Hell of the cycle.

* RageAgainstTheHeavens: Downplayed. In one conversation Floyd theorizes they've been brought here as a punishment for being "bad people". When Jessica asks if they should repent, he answers that they instead should "embrace [their] darker side." This isn't ''Mob'', however, and they're there for a very different reason.
