! The D'Antonio Crime Family

[[folder:Santino]]
-> '''Played by:''' Riccardo Scamarcio

* BigBad: Of ''Chapter 2''.
* CainAndAbel: Hires John to kill his sister, which would allow him to seize her seat on the High Table and take over New York.
* ContractOnTheHitman: Puts a $7 million contract on John after he escapes Rome.
* DisproportionateRetribution: When John refuses to take Santino's job and honor his BloodOath, Santino responds by destroying John's house with a grenade launcher.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Initially fairly friendly with John and claims reluctance to bring him back into the fold. But he also wants John to kill his sister, burns down his house when he refuses, and tries to have John killed after he completes the job.
* {{Foil}}: Serves as one to John. Both are infamous in the criminal underworld but where John is a hardened badass hitman, Santino is a SmugSnake with no fighting skills. Likewise, John is respected and often liked by his former coworkers while Santino is regarded as scum by people like Winston.
* IdiotBall: Blows up John Wick's house and double-crosses him on the hit against his sister, even though he knows all about John's reputation and no doubt should have heard of how John finished up destroying the Tasarovs ''just a few days before visiting him''.
* [[spoiler: KilledMidSentence]]: [[spoiler:John shoots him in the middle of his monologue]].
* LoopholeAbuse: Employs this by way of the Marker to coerce John into coming out of retirement again. [[spoiler:Tries it again when he attempts to stay in the Continental knowing that John can't kill him there without breaking the hotel's key rule and putting himself at Winston's mercy. But this time, John has none of it and kills him anyway.]]
* NoodleIncident: Santino was somehow involved in helping John complete Viggo's "impossible task," and uses the Marker to make John return the favor.
* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: Tries to order Winston to revoke John's membership despite Winston noting that John's done nothing to warrant it.
* WickedCultured: Owns a vast and impressive collection of Renaissance art that is put on display at the Met. Subverted in that he inherited the collection from his father and only views it as "paint on canvas."

[[folder:Gianna]]
-> '''Played by:''' Claudia Gerini

* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: [[spoiler:When she realizes that John has come, Gianna slits her wrists and wades into her bath to bleed out rather than be shot by John. John puts a bullet in her head after she fades away just in case.]]
* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:Would rather slit her own wrists than be killed by John.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: There is no love lost between her and her brother, but she is fond of Cassian both as an underling and a confidant.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: Calmly talks with John when she realizes he's there to kill her.
* ALighterShadeOfBlack: She is a master criminal content with executing children but on the whole she is more scrupulous and sympathetic than her brother.
* LightIsNotGood: Appears in a white fur coat and sparkling dress, and is quickly established to be just as ruthless as her brother.
* WouldHurtAChild: Nonchalantly had her men threaten the children of competing crime bosses in order to take over their territory.

[[folder:Cassian]]
-> '''Played by:''' Common

* AntiVillain: Of all the antagonists Cassian is the most sympathetic. His conflict with John comes from [[spoiler:Gianna's death]] an act which he understands but cannot forgive. While his enmity with John Wick comes from a personal place he is nevertheless professional and courteous in dealing with him.
* TheDragon: Acts as this to Gianna, who he refers to as his "ward."
* {{Foil}}: Cassian is the one of the few people who can match John Wick in skill and tactics, except Cassian is a bodyguard, while John is an assassin. Physically, Cassian is a bald black man, while John is a long-haired white man.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:Cassian gets a knife stuck into his aorta after his fight with John in the subway. He is warned that if he pulls the knife out he'll bleed to death, but he is clearly alive as the train takes him out of the movie.]]

[[folder:Ares]]
-> '''Played by:''' Ruby Rose

* CallBack: Ares tells John (in sign language): "Be seeing you, John". Those were also Viggo's FamousLastWords in the previous film. [[spoiler: This happens again when she's dying, making them her FamousLastWords too.]]
* DarkActionGirl: Besides Cassian, she puts up the best fight against John.
* GenderBlenderName[=/=]MeaningfulName: Ares is the name of the Greek god of war, which is befitting of both her skill in combat and androgynous appearance.
* TheSpeechless: Is mute and only communicates through sign language.

* DisproportionateRetribution: When John refuses to take Santino's job and honor his BloodOath, Santino responds by destroying John's house with a rocket launcher.

* LoopholeAbuse: Employs this by way of the Marker to coerce John into coming out of retirement again. [[spoiler:Tries it again when he attempts to stay in the Continental knowing that John can't kill him there without breaking the hotel's one rule and making himself an open target. But this time, John has none of it and kills him anyway.]]

* CainAndAbel: Hires John to kill his sister, which would allow him to seize her seat on the criminal underworld's ruling body and take over New York.

* BatmanGambit: Santino's final ploy is to [[spoiler:seek refuge in the Continental knowing that John would break the hotel's only rule by killing him on their property. John kills him anyway.]]

* DisproportionateRetribution: When John refuses to take Santino's job and honor his blood oath, Santino responds by destroying John's house with a rocket launcher.

* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Gianna's Abel.

* Driven to Suicide: [[spoiler:Would rather slit her own wrists than be killed by John.]]

* Foil: Cassian is the one of the few people who can match John Wick in skill and tactics, except Cassian is a bodyguard, while John is an assassin. Physically, Cassian is a bald black man, while John is a long-haired white man.
