[[folder:Joseph Erisson]]
A former member of the Angry Brigade and a prison guard.
----
* HeKnowsTooMuch: He was poisoned with arsenic, presumably by [[spoiler:Belier or his men]], so he wouldn't be able to reveal why he helped Mastock escape prison.
* KilledOffscreen: We never see him die in the comic. As soon as [=LeBrock=] finds out he assisted in Mastock's escape, he also finds out he died of gastric fever several days earlier.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Joseph only appears very briefly in a flashback. Yet he was the one who gave Edward Mastock the tools and the route he needed to escape prison.

[[folder:Raymond Leigh-Otter]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/raymond_leigh_otter.png]]
A British Secret Service agent investigating the Knights of the Lion.
----
* HeKnowsTooMuch: The Knights murdered him because he overheard them talking about how they planned on bombing the Paris Opera House, amongst other things.
* KilledOffscreen: Leigh-Otter is alive and well when the first volume's prologue ends. As soon as the main story starts, his corpse is already on the floor of his home.
* NeverSuicide: He's shot in the head, and the crime scene is rigged to make it look like he AteHisGun. [=LeBrock=] quickly deduces that this wasn't the case when he notices there were signs of a struggle.
* PlotTriggeringDeath: His death is what kicks off the first volume's plot, and the only reason why Ratzi and [=LeBrock=] ended up getting involved in a huge government conspiracy.
* SacrificialLamb: He has an explosive first appearance and looks like he'd be one of [=LeBrock=]'s allies, but is killed as soon as the prologue ends. Nevertheless, his death is ultimately what led to [=LeBrock=] and Ratzi getting involved in the Knights' conspiracy.

[[folder:Jules Rocher]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jules_rocher.png]]
The Chief Inspector of Grandville, and one of Ratzi and [=LeBrock=]'s allies.
----
* ByTheBookCop: In sharp contrast to [=LeBrock=]. Rocher tries his best to apprehend criminals as opposed to killing them, and there are times (such as in ''Nöel'') where Rocher wants to help, but can't because the law prevents him from doing so.
* {{Foil}}: To [=LeBrock=]. Both of them are respected police officers who are adored by many, both of them can quickly use logic to figure out what happened at a crime scene, both of them always wear swanky suits, and they even look similar in certain panels. However, Rocher prefers taking his victims alive, while [=LeBrock=] doesn't mind killing them. Rocher lives happily with his wife, while [=LeBrock=]'s wife was murdered before the comic began. Rocher obeys the law the best he can, while [=LeBrock=] constantly breaks it so long as his actions result in him saving the day. Rocher is also rarely seen participating in shootouts, and seems to conveniently disappear during the climaxes. [=LeBrock=], meanwhile, is the one who doesn't mind leaving a trail of bodies behind him in an attempt to get the BigBad.
* HappilyMarried: Allegedly. Even though his wife, Cherie, ''constantly'' throws herself at [=LeBrock=], the two of them get along just fine. ''Onscreen'', anyway.
* NiceGuy: Rocher is one of the few officers who is polite and affable to nearly everyone he talks to. He even tells [=LeBrock=] that he admires his work, whereas many other officers only fixate on how he brutally treats criminals.
* NonActionGuy: Rocher rarely engages in combat. The only notable shootout he's seen in is when he's helping fend off Krapaud's automatons near the end of Volume 3.

[[folder:Ramsey Belier]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/brigadier_belier.png]]
The Brigadier of Scotland-Yard.
----
* TheDragon: [[spoiler:He's really working for Prime Minister Drummond]].
* EvilAllAlong: [[spoiler:Belier was the one who helped Mastock escape prison so he could kill the prostitutes who found evidence incriminating Drummond in the Brick Lane Massacre]].
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:Dies shortly after [=LeBrock=] impales him in the chest with his cane sword]].
* JerkassHasAPoint: He constantly belittles [=LeBrock=] for his reckless behavior and for how he nearly beat Mastock to death apprehending him. But considering everything [=LeBrock=] did in Volume 1, let alone how hot-headed and disrespectful he acted in front of Belier just because he didn't assign [=LeBrock=] to find Mastock after he escaped prison, Belier's behavior towards him was justified.
* JustFollowingOrders: [[spoiler:Belier only helped Mastock escape because Harold Drummond, the ''Prime Minister'', ordered him to]].
* RedHerring: [[spoiler:It's made very obvious that Belier was behind everything in ''Mon Amour'', and that he released Mastock just to cover his own ass. Turns out that Belier was only acting on the Prime Minister's orders]].
* WalkingSpoiler: It's clear at this point that Belier is secretly one of the antagonists.
