* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of the CowboyCop trope. Blake is willing to cut corners and breaks any laws to save Shawn Mars. However his actions are not viewed in a heroic light but instead viewed as barbaric, reckless, violent, and unnecessary. His actions have endangered the lives of numerous innocence who he's sworn to protect, and by ruthlessly pursuing Ethan Mars (an innocent man) he's allowing the real killer [[spoiler: Scott Shelby]], escape justice. In short Blake's actions paint him no better than the criminals he claims to despise.

* {{Revenge}}: This is her main motivation to stop the Origami Killer.
* ShowSomeLeg: Subverted at the last minute in the level "Gordy Kramer's Party"; here, Lauren attempts to distract the stairway guards by performing a sexy dance. However, the guards are clearly under contractual obligation to not be DistractedByTheSexy, so at the end of the dance, Lauren pretends to faint from a drug overdose, drawing both guards away from the stairs and allowing Scott to sneak past them.
* ThisIsUnforgivable:[[spoiler:This is her feelings toward Scott in every ending she is alive in. If he is alive, she shoots him. If he died, she spits on his grave.]]
* TookALevelInBadass: In the ending, [[spoiler:"A Mother's Revenge", where she murders the Origami Killer personally]].
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: It's not entirely clear what kind of accent her actress was going for, but she couldn't pull it off.
* YouMustBeCold: Scott can give her his coat to wear after the incident at Manfred's.

[[caption-width-right:154:"You think you can do a better job than me with your psychology degree and your great glasses?"]]
* AxCrazy: Despite being a cop, he is comically psychotic and bloodthirsty.
* BeardOfEvil: His beard is one of his more distinctive features on his face.
* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: [[spoiler:In the ending "Uploaded," he ends up stealing Jayden's ARI glasses following his death; on his first use of them, he's confronted by a vision of Jayden wearing a PsychoticSmirk, implying that Blake is going to suffer just as badly as Jayden did- if not worse.]]
* {{Expy}}: Looks like [[Film/{{Narc}} Henry Oak]], who also has a similar RabidCop personality.
* GoodIsBoring: He thinks so. Good thing he isn't.
* GoodIsNotNice: Or at least he thinks he's good.
* GreenEyedMonster: A major motivation for him is jealousy towards Jayden.
* HateSink: Everything he does draws the ire of anyone good.
* InspectorJavert: He absolutely refuses to believe that anyone but Ethan could be the Origami Killer.
* InspectorLestrade: A particularly antagonistic and unhelpful variant to Jayden's Holmes.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's one of the most unpleasant characters in the game despite not being a villain.
** JerkassHasAPoint: Has his moments. He calls out Jayden if he's being too soft on not killing Nathaniel even though his life is on the line, and how the entire police force is entirely happy if the suspect being claimed to be the Origami Killer is innocent or not.
* KarmaHoudini: The worst you can to do to him is get him to retire, but this requires you to first have Ethan [[spoiler:get shot by the police]].
* KnightTemplar: He is out to get the Origami Killer no matter who he wrongly persecutes.
* LackOfEmpathy: Almost to everyone except Captain Perry, Ash, Grace, and Scott.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: [[spoiler:Killing Ethan while Jayden is alive results in Blake getting suspended]].
* ObliviouslyEvil: His actions complicate the plot and he has a temper that causes him to punch or shoot all the wrong people.
* PetTheDog: Has his moments depending on how the player does in various situations. He saves Jayden from Korda if the player fails the QTEs, and respects Jayden's belief of never wanting to get used to killing if he shoots [[spoiler:Nathaniel]].
* PoliceAreUseless: [[CowboyCop Believes his methods of skirting around the law help him to get things done]]. [[DeconstructedTrope They really just make him a shitty cop]].
* PoliceBrutality: He always prefers to violently rough up people without any thought of getting any info out of them.
* RabidCop: To an almost comical degree. Blake's disregard for standard police procedure hinder the case. He'll go so far as to kill an innocent man because he thinks he's the killer.
* [[RedOniBlueOni Red Oni]]: To Jayden's blue.
* SmugSmiler: He smiles just to lay on his pretentiousness.
* SmugSnake: He super-confident in what he does and doesn't care if he breaks the rules.
* TheSociopath: If him being a violent cop wasn't enough, he also shows no sense of remorse over his acts of PoliceBrutality.
* TurnInYourBadge: [[spoiler:Allow Ethan to be killed by him and this is the result]].
* UnknownRival: Jayden doesn't acknowledge him even if he puts him at gunpoint ("Under Arrest") and removes him off the case ("Solving the Puzzle").
* VerbalTic: "''NORMAN.''"
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Not the killing type, just tells Jayden to "fuck off" as soon as he and the police think they got the answer to who the Origami Killer is.

[[caption-width-right:176:"Welcome to the club, Jayden."]]
* DaChief: To Jayden.
* JerkAss: He is fine with some police brutality to close a high profile case.
* ObstructiveBureaucrat: He declares to the press that Ethan is the Origami Killer without getting his confession.
* PoliceAreUseless: He is unhelpful at best and condones obstruction and violence at worst.
* TheStoic: Normally unflappable even if Jayden and Blake are fighting.
** NotSoStoic: [[spoiler:When Jayden accuses Blake of being the Origami Killer]].
* TookALevelInJerkass: In "Under Arrest", when Jayden tells him about Blake beating Ethan.
* TurnInYourBadge: [[spoiler:Same goes with Blake if he kills Ethan.]]

[[folder:Mr. Sheppard]]
[[quoteright:206:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/MrSheppard_1542.png]]
* AbusiveParents: It's heavily implied that he beats his kids. We only see him too wasted to move.
* AlcoholicParent: He was too drunk [[spoiler:to bother to save one of his sons.]]
* TheFaceless: Only seen from behind [[spoiler:in a flashback.]]
* KarmaHoudini: Aside from [[spoiler:losing custody of his kids to foster parents]] the game doesn't bother to show him suffering any consequences for his actions.
* SocialServicesDoesNotExist: It's a minor miracle that both of his children didn't die before the game even begins, seeing as how he has no problem kicking the boys out into the pouring rain and letting them play at the local construction site by themselves.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:His son, Scott, became the Origami Killer because of his carelessness leading to his other son's death.]]
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The last we hear of him is during [[spoiler:the flashback detailing his son's death.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Nathaniel Williams]]
* RoomFullOfCrazy: His entire apartment is filled from the floor to the ceiling with religious decorations. Crosses, bibles, paintings of holy figures...
* [[ShootHimHeHasAWallet Shoot Him, He Has A Cross]]: [[spoiler:After finally being talked down by Jayden he pulls a cross on Blake at the last moment, possibly forcing Jayden to shoot him due to mistaking it for a weapon.]]
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: If Jayden doesn't shoot him he gets arrested and is never seen again.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Brad Silver]]
* AintTooProudToBeg: As soon as he gets cornered he turns from cocky and violent to pleading in about half a second.
* AssholeVictim: Depending on how you view him.
* AxCrazy: Father or not, he still chases Ethan around through his house firing a ''shotgun'' at him over ''marijuana'', laughing like a maniac and is eager to shoot him point blank in the face in the middle of his daughter's room.
* DirtyCoward: As soon as Ethan has the advantage to shoot him he is reduced to a begging mess.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He may be an amoral drug dealer, but he does seem to care deeply about his two daughters, Sarah and Cindy.
* FatalFamilyPhoto: If [[spoiler:Ethan shoots him.]]
* JerkAss: When he first meets Ethan he is very rude to him and then ultimately assumes that he is junkie.
* PistolWhipping: If [[spoiler:Ethan decides not to shoot him he'll instead club him with his handgun to knock him out and make his escape.]]
