!Arturo Roman
[[quoteright:289:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arturo.png]]

->'''Played By''': Enrique Arce
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/BrianBeacock (English)

The director of the Mint. Now a hostage like all the others, he still has leadership and initiative.
----
* AttentionWhore: Especially in season 3 and 4, where he desperately tries to be seen as a hero.
* BadBoss: He continuously bullies people around by threatening to fire them. It says a whole lot about him when Torres, an old employee of the mint and one of the hostages, tells Nairobi (one of the ''hostage takers'') that she's the best boss he's ever worked for.
* ButtMonkey: He gets abused far more repeatedly than the other hostages. Justified, as he's a despicable, stubborn coward who doesn't really care about the other hostages and is just using them as a means to escape.
* CharacterDevelopment: Of the negative type. While he's shown as a bad person from his first appearance, he still shows some significant redeeming qualities in the first few episodes, such as trying to convince the robbers to let go the most vulnerable hostages from early on, being more active in trying to find a way to escape and even changing his mind about not taking care of his child with Monica. However, as the series progresses, he becomes a bigger and bigger GlorySeeker and his good traits eventually disappear.
* DirtyCoward: The damned jerk makes a big plan to escape capture that he tells the heist team the moment they threaten to beat him up.
* DramaQueen: Big time. When Manila kneecaps him, he acts as if he's mortally wounded even though the bullet didn’t even hit any arteries.
* HateSink: To make a long story short, among all of the cast, throughout multiple seasons, he is one of the most loathsome individuals. Cheating on his wife, DirtyCoward, idiotic attempts at being a DefiantCaptive that he bullies other people into helping him with (and then gets them killed or nearly so), elitist, BadBoss...[[spoiler:In season 4 he offers a hostage pills to help her anxiety and it's heavily implied he molested her while she was under its effects.]]
* InSeriesNickname: Berlin coins "Arturito ("Little Artie")" for him. Considering Arturo tries to be as macho as possible, it's as denigrating to him as you expect it to be.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Even if he claims to care about Monica and their child, ultimately he's only trying to make everything about himself because he's an EntitledBastard.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Can't really blame the guy for not counting on the HeistTeam to keep their word to not harm them. Helsinki concedes.
** He's right about the bomb strapped to him being a fake. Granted, his way of responding to this realization ([[WhatAnIdiot wanting to strip it off and make another escape plan]]) [[SpannerInTheWorks would have fucked everyone over, himself included]], so Allison's right in forcing him to sit down and shut up.
** Even if he's [[MilesGloriosus playing himself up to an extreme]] during the TED talk, he has a point in saying heist crew are ''far'' from being heroes, and put him and the other hostages through many terrible things. Most notably, he has a right to hate Denver for basically kidnapping his child.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Since the beginning, every time the viewers may think he has some standards and decency deep down, he will say or do something that contradicts this in the same scene. In the first season, he makes a moving speech to his wife but ruins it at the end by calling her Monica, the name of his lover.
* KavorkaMan: There's nothing attractive about his appearance or personality, but at the start of the show, he has two women in love with him. [[LaserGuidedKarma He ends up losing both of them.]]
* KneeCapping: Manila shoots him in the knee in Season 4 as punishment for yet another stupid act of defiance.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Loses both his wife and Monica after the heist, effectively loses his son with Monica, with his other sons refusing to speak to him as he cheated on their mother.
* LeeroyJenkins: He never really has a plan when he tries to sabotage the thieves', he just tosses crazy ideas at the wall as soon as he thinks of them in the hopes something sticks.[[spoiler:And he purposely gets taken hostage in season 3 to try to be a hero.]]
* ManipulativeBastard: He constantly tries to make other hostages do what he wants by appealing to their desire to survive or the chance that they could be the heroes of the day.
* MilesGloriosus: [[spoiler:He managed to build himself a pretty profitable reputation by spreading BlatantLies about his "heroism" during the Mint heist, his first scene in the third season being him as a guest speaker in a Spanish TED {{Expy}}.]]
* RabbleRouser: [[spoiler:When he becomes a hostage again in Season 4, all of his attempted manipulations to have the other hostages fight the heist team come across as this.]]
* SmallNameBigEgo: He definitely overestimates himself and has a narcissistic ego.
* TooDumbToLive: His pathetic attempts at being a DefiantCaptive usually end up biting him in the ass, such as getting shot in the first season. It's a miracle he's still alive.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Originally just a cowardly, selfish jerk. In season 4, he also becomes a rapist.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: After the first heist, he's shown to be a well-known public figure and motivational speaker with legions of fans who believe him to be a courageous hero. While he makes some good points during his speech (the heist crew shouldn't be considered heroes at all), Arturo himself is also far from a hero and the following episodes reveal him to be even more despicable than he was in the beginning.

[[folder:Alison Parker]]
!Alison Parker
->'''Played By''': María Pedraza
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/RebaBuhr (English)
The daughter of the British ambassador. Her presence prevents Prieto from storming into the building as he may have wanted.
----
* AllTheOtherReindeer: She's bullied at school, and things get worse after the recording of the conversation where Raquel tells the Professor that the police is willing to get Alison free instead of eight of her colleagues is made public.
* BrainyBrunette: Brown-haired, and definitely not dumb.
* CoolLoser: A ridiculously rich and pretty girl who is shunned and bullied by her classmates. This is lampshaded by Nairobi who gives her advice on how to be more confident.
* TheIngenue: She's naive enough to trust a JerkJock guy and insecure enough to let her classmates walk over her.
* InstantHumiliationJustAddYouTube: In this case, Instagram, when Pablo publishes a picture where Alison is half naked.
* LivingMacGuffin: Her status as the daughter of the British ambassador makes her a high-value hostage. Deconstructed when Colonel Prieto orders Raquel to get her [[SadisticChoice instead of]] other eight teen hostages the Professor was offering for the sake of politics and the gang releases a recording of this conversation on the news -- the shitstorm of bad PR is instant and brutal.
* MoralityPet: She is this to Rio.
* TookALevelInBadass: During the heist, she starts being a bullied and frail high school student to a more confident and emotionally stronger girl able to make shut out Arturo the building director.

[[folder:César Gandía]]
!César Gandía
[[quoteright:310:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gandia.png]]
->'''Played by''': José Manuel Poga

Chief of security for the Bank of Spain who escapes from being a hostage.
----
* AscendedExtra: Has a minor role in season 3, but ends up becoming the BigBad in the second half of season 4, and returns as one of the antagonists in Season 5 allying with the Special Forces.
* AxCrazy: He's overly violent and unstable even ''before'' going on a murderous rampage in the bank and becoming disturbingly obsessed with killing Nairobi. [[spoiler: He succeeds.]]
* BaldOfEvil: Bald and a despicable person.
* BigBad: After escaping, he becomes the main obstacle to the main characters.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He has a wife named Marisa and a son named Juanito.
* ForTheEvulz: [[spoiler: He murders Nairobi after seemingly letting her go solely for this reason.]]
* HateSink: He's made to be as mean, racist, and ruthless as possible, as well as killing Nairobi, even if it wasn't necessary. HeroAntagonist or not, the writers didn't want the viewers to like this guy.
* HeroAntagonist: If you hear the story of a chief of security doing everything to stop a gang of robbers, he would easily be considered the hero. [[{{Jerkass}} He's still not a good person, though.]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: [[spoiler: He sees Nairobi as nothing but an insane violent woman before he kills her, when in reality it's the other way around and Nairobi is completely sane.]]
* InvincibleVillain: He manages to survive and avoid the bullets despite having at least eight people shooting at his direction at the same time. [[spoiler: Until Season 5.]]
* IronicName: In a pretty roundabout way. His surname, Gandía, is the name of a city in Spain, so it would fit perfectly with the LocationThemeNaming of the robbers.
* KnightOfCerebus: The most terrifying threat the gang has to the plan. Even when he's handcuffed, his terrifying aura can be felt.
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler: If Tokyo's grenade attack on him worked, then it's safe to say no one is going to miss him at all after the misdeeds he's done and got away with, and becoming the victim of one he tortured and tried to assault.]]
** [[spoiler: Episode 6 of season 5 confirmes he was indeed killed by Tokyo's suicide attack.]]
* LastNameBasis: Always referred to by his last name, while his first name is rarely mentioned.
* MysteriousPast: Before the heist, Berlin, Palermo, and the Professor assume he had a shady past as a killer before becoming the bank's Chief of security, but it's not elaborated on.
* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: He considers killing the robbers a necessary act to protect the bank, but it's clear from his behavior that he takes pleasure in killing and inflicting pain on other people.
* OneManArmy: The guy manages to fight against multiple heist members all at once without suffering so much as a scratch. Could be justified because he's wearing heavy combat armor.
* PlotArmor: The reason why he's apparently able to avoid hundreds of bullets so many times during the gunfights. [[spoiler: His armor expires during the Season 5 mid-season finale.]]
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He often makes racist remarks, especially towards Nairobi.
* RelativeButton: He taunts Denver by bringing up his father's death at the hands of the police. He gets a punch to the face for his troubles.
* RevengeBeforeReason: When Palermo offers him a chance to leave the Bank unscathed, he [[spoiler: ditches the opportunity to shoot Nairobi for her earlier remarks. It leads to his death in Season 5.]]
* TokenEvilTeammate: For the Bank of Spain.
* WouldHitAGirl: [[spoiler: He kills Nairobi by shooting her in the head.]]

[[folder:Mario Urbaneja]]
!Mario Urbaneja
->'''Played by:''' Pep Munné

The Governor of the Bank of Spain.
----
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Or hostage. While Arturo was a MilesGloriosus and attempted to make others do the dirty work for him, Mario is AFatherToHisMen and a truer DefiantCaptive than Arturo could ever hope to be. It's even more clear when Mario and Arturo are in the same room.
* DefiantToTheEnd: Is prepared to die than handover Europe's darkest secrets to them. Too bad the Professor had an alternate plan.
* GoodCounterpart: To Arturo from the first heist.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Tears into Arturo when the latter attempts to stage an uprising on the armed and dangerous robbers.
* SpottingTheThread: He easily pokes holes into Tokyo and Nairobi's cover stories as Army members, and could have busted them hadn't Gandia been too trigger-happy.
* TokenGoodTeammate: From the top echelon of the Bank of Spain. The Professor recognizes this as well as he orders the Team to be more lenient to him to be in his good books.

!Miguel Fernández Talanilla
->'''Played By:''' Carlos Suárez

The intern at the Bank of Spain.
----
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Attacks Arturo and captures him once Arturo is revealed as a rapist.
* DareToBeBadass: Denver play-acts threatening him so as to invoke this trope unto him. By the end of Season 4, he seems to have succeeded.

* TookALevelInBadass: Goes from a scared hostage to a fighter as he stops Arturo from coercing Amanda.

[[folder:Raquel Murillo]]
See the "Lisbon" folder.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Ángel]]
!!Ángel Rubio
->'''Played by''': Fernando Soto
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/KeithSilverstein (English)

Raquel's aide in the operation. He discovered the identity of the Professor, but has a car accident before he could reveal it, and fell into a coma.

* AmicableExes: Is in friendly terms with both Raquel and his ex-wife.
* ConvenientComa: He's in a coma for a significant part of the third act, and the threat that he may wake up and reveal the Professor's identity dangles overhead for all of that time.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He finds out about the Professor's identity ''by himself'', and would have busted the entire Heist Team if he didn't have an accident under influence.
* DoggedNiceGuy: To Raquel, he's a loyal friend to her, while also making it clear that he wants more than friendship.
* HeroAntagonist: To the Professor, as his rival on the good side of the law.
* TheLancer: He's Raquel's most immediate subordinate during the heist.
* TheMole: He is not, but the HeistTeam frames him for that by planting a microphone into his glasses.
* HisNameIs: He found out about the Professor being behind the heist, but had an accident while he returned to the city.
* OutOfFocus: An active character in season 1, but becomes less prominent in later seasons.
* TokenGoodTeammate: With the saner members either leaving or defecting to the Professor, he is now this to the force.

[[folder:Alfonso Prieto]]
!!Alfonso Prieto
->'''Played by''': Juan Fernández
->'''Voiced by''': Pete Sepenuk (English)

A Colonel in Spanish intelligence representing the government's interests in the case.

* ImplausibleDeniability: The man still tries to blame others when journalists and the United Nations get concrete proof placing him at Rio's torture.
* {{Jerkass}}: The man continuously undermines Raquel's work and then berates her when his attempts at getting things done do not work.
* ObstructiveBureaucrat: When the Professor gives the police the option between getting Alison Parker (and ''only'' Parker) or eight other teens released, he unhesitatingly orders Raquel to ask for Parker because he sees keeping British/Spanish relations on good terms as something more important than the life of eight teens. The result: the police (and the Spanish government by proxy) gets a shitstorm of bad PR when the Professor releases recorded audio of the call to the news.
* OhCrap: He has an epic one when Rio outs him specifically as the one who ordered his capture and torture.
* RabidCop: He puts a KillOnSight order on the heist team the moment he arrives. That says a whole lot about him.
* StormTheCastle: His first idea is to charge in with all guns blazing and get it over with as quick as possible. Averted in the end: due to the presence of the British ambassador's daughter in the building, nobody else thinks it's the best course of action.
* VillainBall: Has Rio captured, and instead of using him to negotiate a surrender for the robbers, tortures him to spill the beans of the Professor. It leads to the second heist, Rio's prison exchange, and him going down as a torturer.

[[folder:Suárez]]
!Suárez
->'''Played by''': Mario de la Rosa
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/KyleMcCarley (English)

----

A police inspector who is in charge of interrogating Rio, and later takes charge of the police operations regarding the National Bank heist.

* BigBad: Serves as the main antagonist for a good part of season 3 and 4, though in the later episodes of season 4, it's more a case of BigBadEnsemble with Gandia.
* TheBaroness: Clearly fits the bill, and some of her interactions with Lisboa imply that [[AlphaBitch she was already like this when both of them were still students]].

--> '''Sierra''': Checkmate you son of a bitch!
* TheDogBitesBack[=/=]HeelFaceTurn: Joins the [[spoiler: Professor and his team for the foreseeable future when Tamayo leaves no stones unturned into discrediting her confession.]]
* EvilCounterpart: To Raquel/Lisbon. She serves as the main negotiator with the robbers which was Raquel's role in the early seasons, and is much more ruthless than her. [[spoiler: Both of them also ordered the shooting of a person in the Dali outfit (Arturo for the former, Nairobi for the latter), both end up getting backstabbed by the Police, and both also join the Professor for revenge after initially attempting to capture him.]]
* EvilRedhead: Has red hair that matches her cruel personality.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: [[spoiler: In seasons 3 and 4 she was mostly shown with her ponytail on, signifying her ruthlessness towards the heist team, but later in season 5 she finally lets her hair down, showing her slowly mellowing down towards them.]]
* FireForgedFriends: [[spoiler: Initially [[SubvertedTrope subverted]]: Alicia pretends to make amends with the Professor and the gang after they help deliver her daughter Victoria. However, when the Professor breaks down after the death of Tokyo, she makes her escape. After a chase she manages to corner the Professor and intends to sell him out to Tamayo so that he drops her charges. But it turns out Tamayo sounded a police alarm in his apartment and they're forced into hiding. Eventually they promise to not get in each other's way again and work together for the remainder of the heist, playing this trope straight.]]
* FreudianExcuse: It's revealed that her husband has died of cancer not much time ago, and she also admits that she TookALevelInJerkass after his death.
* GuileHeroine: [[spoiler: She's very cunning being able to break (even if was temporarily) the minds of the two smartest members of the heist team (the Professor and Raquel aka Lisbon) who shown to be highly competent masterminds. Though is not without having ManipulativeBitch tendencies.]]
* ManipulativeBitch: She's able to manipulate and mess with the emotions of other characters like Lisbon, the Professor, and Nairobi.
* MeaningfulName: It's heavily implied that Alicia named her newborn daughter Victoria [[spoiler:to symbolize her prospective triumph over the Professor. She does end up victorious in the end, but on his side rather than against him.]]
* MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: The most ruthless and competent of the police force. [[spoiler:She is also The Professor's intellectual match, investigating and tracking him down on her own while evading arrest at the end of season 4.]]
* PregnantBadass: She's heavily pregnant, but that does not mean she's not willing to join in torturing or joining the police operation.
* {{Sadist}}: Has no problem in torturing Rio, and actually feels excited when she learns she is to help with capturing the heist team.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Puts a huge dent on [[spoiler: the Professor's plans as well as ''her own team'' once she readily confesses to the torture she inflicted on Rio.]]
* SweetTooth: Probably there are more scenes where Alicia is seen eating or drinking something sweet than scenes where she isn't.
* TomboyishPonytail: Almost never seen with her hair down.
* TortureTechnician: She is in charge of interrogating Rio - by all means necessary.

[[folder:Luis Tamayo]]

** He's disgusted by Arturo being a GloryHound, and aptly tears into him.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Causes Sierra to join the Professor's team.
* OhCrap: Gets one as he realises the heist team has Europe's darkest secrets with them.
** When the Heist Team disables their tanks with [=RPGs=].

* IronicName: In a pretty roundabout way. His surname, Gandía, is the name of a city in Spain, so it would fit perfectly with the LocationThemeNaming of the robbers.
* KnightOfCerebus: The most terrifying threat the gang has to the plan. Even when he's handcuffed, his terrifying aura can be felt.
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler: If Tokyo's grenade attack on him worked, then it's safe to say no one is going to miss him at all after the misdeeds he's done and got away with, and becoming the victim of one he tortured and tried to assault.]]
** [[spoiler: Episode 6 of season 5 confirmes he was indeed killed by Tokyo's suicide attack.]]
* LastNameBasis: Always referred to by his last name, while his first name is rarely mentioned.
* MysteriousPast: Before the heist, Berlin, Palermo, and the Professor assume he had a shady past as a killer before becoming the bank's Chief of security, but it's not elaborated on.
* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: He considers killing the robbers a necessary act to protect the bank, but it's clear from his behavior that he takes pleasure in killing and inflicting pain on other people.
* OneManArmy: The guy manages to fight against multiple heist members all at once without suffering so much as a scratch. Could be justified because he's wearing heavy combat armor.
* PlotArmor: The reason why he's apparently able to avoid hundreds of bullets so many times during the gunfights. [[spoiler: His armor expires during the Season 5 mid-season finale.]]
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He often makes racist remarks, especially towards Nairobi.
* RelativeButton: He taunts Denver by bringing up his father's death at the hands of the police. He gets a punch to the face for his troubles.
* RevengeBeforeReason: When Palermo offers him a chance to leave the Bank unscathed, he [[spoiler: ditches the opportunity to shoot Nairobi for her earlier remarks. It leads to his death in Season 5.]]
* TokenEvilTeammate: For the Bank of Spain.

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Or hostage. While Arturo was a MilesGloriosus and attempted to make others do the dirty work for him, Mario is AFatherToHisMen and a truer DefiantCaptive than Arturo could ever hope to be. It's even more clear when Mario and Arturo are in the same room.

* ConnectedAllAlong: [[spoiler:Andrés and him are brothers, as revealed in the finale of Season 2.]]
* DatingCatwoman: Somewhat. He knows perfectly well that Raquel is the cop tasked with bringing the bank robbers down, but he falls in love with her anyway.
* DidNotSeeThatComing: While he planned the first heist down to the smallest detail, he did ''not'' expect to develop feelings for the negotiator, Raquel. He also didn't expect [[spoiler: a vengeful Sierra tracking him and his men down, only getting saved because of Sierra going into labor.]]
* ManipulativeBastard: Not only does he makes plans within plans, he is also quite capable of making things on the fly.
** [[spoiler:When the cops find the heist team's refuge and one of the agents (Inspector Murillo's former husband) takes an important piece of proof back to Madrid, he manages to get himself in the car and, after driving said agent mad, he [[CurbStompBattle effortlessly]] knocks him out and changes the proof with something else that is meaningless.]]

** [[spoiler:His plan for when things start to go down the drain is to free some hostages and invite a journalist and camera in - so the heist team can use it to turn public opinion in their favor, invoking UnderdogsNeverLose.]]
* MysteriousPast: No one knows anything about him. His name, his age, where he comes from - it's all a mystery. It is slowly revealed along the series.

* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: If it wasn’t obvious already.
* VillainProtagonist: He’s the overall main protagonist of the show and the leader of a heist.
* XanatosSpeedChess: His speciality. His solution to every misstep or failed plan is to improvise with another plan. When that fails, he improvises with another plan. And the cycle goes on until he gets what he wants.

TheLancer, a veteran jewel robber who became a criminal to sustain his expensive lifestyle. A SoftSpokenSadist, he looks down on the rest of the group, but hides it behind his fine manners.

* AffablyEvil:
** He is quite courteous with the hostages - as long as they follow his orders, of course.
** He's much more friendly and likable in the flashbacks (excluding a horrible KickTheDog moment where he brutally castrates a man with a fork) than he was during the first heist.
* BigBad: He serves as the main antagonist for Season 1, wherein he causes much of the internal conflict among the gang.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Despite being described as TheSociopath, he loves [[spoiler:his brother Sergio, his best friend Palermo and his son Santiago]].
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He may be a sociopath, a thief, and pretty much raping one of the hostages, but he won't stand for being accused of white slavery and pimping.
* FrameUp: In order to make the image of the HeistTeam go down the drain, the police tell everyone that he is involved in child abuse and white slavery.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Gets into harsh arguments with almost everyone in the team, especially Tokyo, Denver, Rio, and Nairobi.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Berlin looks down on everyone else, but even he is not above having defects, such as having sex with one of the hostages.
* LackOfEmpathy: It's explicitly stated in his psych evaluation in season 1. Indeed, he doesn't feel much remorse for his cruel actions.
* TheLancer: He is pretty much the leader of the group within the bank.
* LimaSyndrome: Seems to grow genuinely attached to hostage Ariadna and believes she is in love with him. She begs to differ.
* MysteriousPast: [[spoiler:He is Sergio's brother, and the two have been in contact but separated for much time. Three years before Season 1, he and his friend Martín developed a plan to take all the gold in the Spanish National Bank - which the Professor uses in Season 3 to both honor his brother and to save Rio.]]
* NiceToTheWaiter: Inverted. Berlin's a criminal but is shown to be friendly with the monks in the flashbacks.
* NotSoStoic: He's calm and cool most of the time, which can occasionally be every and disturbing, but he can break if pushed too far.

He also snaps when Nairobi chews him out for surrendering Tokyo to the authorities.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: After committing so many crimes all across Europe and getting away with it, with broke the mirror of a bar just with an irrational act of vandalism, and let himself be taken by the police.

A young, tough, impulsive bank robber, she has been alternating legal work with several robberies, the latest of which went awry and ended with the death of two cops and her boyfriend - and she has been on the run ever since.

* ActionGirl: Her main role within the team. Though she is at times TheMillstone, she's most effective when it comes to shootouts and confrontations. She's one of the heist team members to hold down the SWAT team in Part 2, and [[spoiler:manages to incapacitate Gandia by stabbing him in the back.]]
* AmbiguouslyBi: She makes out with Allison, but it's not clear whether that's because she's attracted to her or whether it's just a move to show her power over the hostages.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: [[spoiler:She correctly deduces that Lisbon is still alive due to a lack of publication regarding her supposed "death", how they imprisoned and tortured Rio without legal authority, and because she constantly witnessed how sound is constantly used to fool people into believing something else is happening.]]
* BoyishShortHair: Keeps her hair short starting Season 3 and is an ActionGirl.
* CharacterDevelopment: Becomes much less reckless as season 3 and 4 go on [[spoiler:and even takes over leading the team quite effectively, deposing Palermo]].
* ClingyJealousGirl: Tokyo gets rather angry when she notices Rio is getting closer to Allison Parker.
* DeadAllAlong: [[spoiler: It's revealed that she is narrating the series posthumously from the afterlife.]]
* DeathByFlashback: [[spoiler: A lot of her backstory is given before her last stand.]]
* DecoyProtagonist: [[spoiler: At first she was made out to be the lead character as she was the one who narrated the series from her point of view. But after her death, it is clear that Sergio/The Professor is the true lead character.]]
* DefiantCaptive: When she's captured by the very dangerous Gandia, she's not scared of him at all. While her hands are tied, it doesn't stop her from insulting him and trying to kick him.
* DefiantToTheEnd: Takes [[spoiler: down Gandia and other Spec Ops with her grenades rather than allowing them to kill her.]]
* DudeMagnet: She's considered irresistible by men, especially Rio, Denver, and even Gandia. Even Berlin states he finds her attractive in one of the first episodes, even if he usually doesn't get along with her.
* FearlessFool: By far the bravest of the robbers, which is best seen by her being the only one to not fear Gandia. However, this very bravery leads to her making incredibly reckless decisions that endanger the plan.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Nairobi.
* HiddenDepths: Though considered by some as TheMillstone, she actually learns from the Professor's lessons when push comes to shove. [[spoiler:She follows his tip to stall for time when she gets captured, which eventually leads to her returning to the bank, and manages to rightly assume that Raquel is still alive because as the Professor taught her, sound can be a tool of deception. The best part is the Professor managed to learn from Tokyo's suggestion and create a plan out of this, with the result of successfully sneaking Raquel into the bank.]]
* HotBlooded: Her impulsive actions endanger the plan multiple times, and cause a lot of problems within the team.
* IdiotBall: The worst offender of the team, as she often tends to act before thinking. It often happens for the sake of the plot, such as Rio being captured in season 3 because of Tokyo's actions.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's often short-tempered, selfish, and unreasonable, but it's shown many times that she cares about the other members of the team. Despite her thoughtless actions, she's not malicious.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: With Denver. They are similar in many ways and Denver admits in season 5 that Tokyo is like a sister to him. Besides the Professor (father figure), Rio (LoveInterest), and Nairobi (best friend), Denver is the closest to her.
* LovelyAngels: With Nairobi in Season 3 first episodes combined with BackToBackBadass.
* TheMillstone: Her impulsivity has made things worse for the team many times.
* MsFanservice: She's certainly beautiful in face and body, which is acknowledged a fair amount of times, and has a few almost naked scenes.
* TheNarrator: Her voice over starts and ends every episode. [[spoiler: After the Part 5 mid-season finale, she is revealed to be a [[PosthumousNarration posthumous narrator]].]]
* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler: Literally when she blows herself up and takes down Gandia with her.]]
* StrongGirlSmartGuy: She's the tough Strong Girl, while her love interest Rio is considered the weakest member of the team but is a TeenGenius hacker.
* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler: As she was too injured to climb down the dumbwaiter in the kitchen, she elects to stay behind to cover for Manila and Denver. Tokyo kills Canalejas and Gandía in the process, and maybe the rest of the squad who were near her when she cooked those grenades.]]
* TheTease: She's a MsFanservice who likes to flirt with men and sometimes even women.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: While she doesn't hurt people intentionally, she tends to cause serious troubles to people close to her, like Moscow's death, or Rio being captured which was the catalyst of the whole plot in season 3 and 4. The second heist later leads to [[spoiler: Nairobi's death, Helsinki being critically injured, and her own death. The only postive thing to come out of it is Sierra finally joining the Professor and Gandia getting a KarmicDeath, finally ending his bloody rampage.]]
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Tokyo goes berserk after Helsinki beats the crap out of Rio, telling the Professor that, if it happens again, she will kill him (or Berlin, or Helsinki).

* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler: Gandia makes a show of killing her right in front of the heist members to emphasize just how much of a dangerous and insane monster he truly is.]]
* StatuesqueStunner: She's 5'9"[[note]]175 cm[[/note]] and visibly towers over other girls like Tokyo and Allison.
* StepfordSmiler: She may be fun and bubbly, but deep down a BrokenBird because she lost custody of her child and really wanted to be a mother.

* LikesOlderWomen: He is 23. Tokyo is in her 30s.
* TheLoad: He's seen this way by the Professor initially, because he's young, immature, and has less experience than the others. He's especially this in season 3 and 4, because he's still traumatized by the torture, making him ineffectual.
* NiceGuy: He's the one who has the most empathy with the hostages. {{Deconstructed}} because this ends up leading to the police learning Tokyo and him are in the heist.

A former miner who became a locksmith after illness forced him to leave his job, he started to use his skills to rob bank vaults and jewelries to feed his family. He has been in and out of prison for this.
----
* TheConscience: Calls Tokyo out on her petty and thoughtless actions.
* CoolOldGuy: The most seasoned and pragmatic of the original team, preferring to follow the plan and avoid the conflicts that ensare the other members. When he's not under stress, he's shown to be fun-loving and can rock a beret like no one else.
* GoodParents: He cares a lot about Denver and wants him to have a better life. Despite their mistakes and being a DysfunctionalFamily, he and his son have a great relationship.
* {{Irony}}: He left the mine because he suffers from claustrophobia. His robberies have sent him to prison several times.
* ItHasBeenAnHonor: [[spoiler:His last words.]]
* NiceGuy: A polite and reasonable person, and one of the most approachable members of the team since the beginning, as lampshaded by Tokyo in her narration.
* PapaWolf: Moscow's weakness is stated to be Denver. [[spoiler:He brought him into the plan because he screwed up with some drug-dealers, and has an anxiety attack when Denver kills a hostage ([[FakingTheDead or so he thinks]]).]]

->'''Played by''': Jaime Lorente
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/DougErholtz (English)

Moscow's son, he has spent most of his life as a thug and trying drugs, which have left him with a HairTriggerTemper and bad disposition that he only relaxes around his father.

* BashBrothers: With Rio.
* BookDumb: The most ignorant member of the team, and his father mentioned he always had troubles at school.
* BerserkButton: He is possessive of Monica and their son, which Arturo knows and uses to get a rise out of him. Denver beats him bloody when he mentions wanting to know his son and his past relationship with Monica. The Professor mentioning another heist also works.
* CrazyJealousGuy: Deconstructed. In the third and fourth seasons, Denver gets incredibly protective over Stockholm, acting much more erratically and even lashing out at Arturo and Rio out of paranoia that she's cheating on him with them, or otherwise threatened her safety. Unfortunately, this only serves to push Stockholm even further away from him, as his actions and behavior only terrify and alienate her even more than before.
* DotingParent: He loves Cincinnati, even if he is not biologically his and dreads the thought of leaving Cincinnati fatherless, like he has.
* DumbMuscle: Not very smart, and part of the muscle.
* GiveTheBabyAFather: Ends up becoming the father to Mónica's baby.
* BruiserWithASoftCenter: Is a trigger happy thief with a temper, but he also has no issues showing his father how much he loves him, crying over his death or being concerned for Monica and their son.
* GoodParents: So far, despite his impulsiveness, he seems to be, and clearly loves his son. Fatherhood has made him noticeably softer: he is uneasy with leaving the baby alone, or that he might become an orphan, and he gives the hostages that are parents the chance to speak to their children, despite it not being in the plans.
* HairTriggerTemper: A life of thuggery and drug-taking have left their mark on him. [[spoiler:Backfires heavily in Season 3 when he almost kills the National Bank Governor when he refuses to collaborate.]]
* InsecureLoveInterest: Initially to Monica. It doesn't help that everyone else thinks that Monica fell for him only because of StockholmSyndrome and even his father tells him that she's out of his league. This makes him believe that a smart and beautiful woman like her would never genuinely love him.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's a bit of an asshole, but he loves his father and cares for Mónica.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: With Tokyo. They are similar in many ways and Denver admits in season 5 that Tokyo is like a sister to him.
* LimaSyndrome: [[spoiler:Ends up falling in love with Mónica.]]
* OddNameOut: Downplayed. While most of the gang's nicknames are capitals (Tokyo, Berlin, Moscow, Helsinki, Oslo, Nairobi) or at least one of the most populated and renowned cities of their country (Rio), Denver isn't a particularly outstanding city in the United States.
* PapaWolf: To Mónica's son, whom he has adopted. When Arturo, Cincinnati's biological father and a prick, goads Denver into thinking he will meet his son after the heist, Denver loses it and beats him bloody.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The brash Manly Man to Rio's naive and innocent Sensitive Guy.
* WouldHarmASenior: He decks (and almost accidentally kills) the Governor of the Bank of Spain because he refused to cooperate with the gang.

[[quoteright:259:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/helsinki.jpg]]
->'''Played by''': Darko Peric
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/JamiesonPrice (English)

One of {{The Brute}}s of the group. Little is known of this Serbian beyond the fact that he comes from a violent past, not helped by the fact that he speaks little, letting his weapons and partners do the talking.

* BaldOfAwesome: Bald and the strong BigGuy of the group.
* BigFun: When not part of the heist, Helsinki is a laughable, joyful man who loves his friends dearly.
* BruiserWithASoftCenter: He's a sensitive and caring man under all of the muscle and silence.
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: He and Oslo start off as ThoseTwoGuys. After Oslo's death, Helsinki slowly starts to reveal his HiddenDepths, especially after he befriends Nairobi.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: When the Professor sends him to get their stakeout car destroyed and 1000 euros so the scrapyard worker would not ask any questions, he sent the money to his family and just left the car at the scrapyard, not taking into consideration [[NiceJobBreakingItHero that there was a good reason the car had to be destroyed]].
* GayBestFriend: Becomes this to Nairobi in season 3 and 4.
* GentleGiant: The biggest member of the group, and a softy towards the all the people he cares about.
* ManlyGay: He's a gruff, strong and muscular soldier, and later revealed to be gay.
* NiceGuy: Introduced as TheBrute, but is eventually revealed to be one of the kindest characters.
* PlatonicLifePartners: After the TimeSkip between Seasons 2 and 3, he becomes this with Nairobi, although she also develops romantic feelings for him. Although he doesn't return them, he still care about her deeply, to the point of being the most affected by [[spoiler: Nairobi's death by Ghandia's hands.]]
* StraightGay: He has no stereotypical gay traits, to the point where Nairobi has to be explicitly told by both Tokyo and Helsinki himself that he's queer.
* TooDumbToLive: The Professor gave Helsinki 1000 euros to get a scrapyard's worker to destroy a car that had some of the team's fingerprints on it, no questions asked. Not only did Helsinki not get the car destroyed - he sent the cash to his family - he did not even think of cleaning the fingerprints. The Professor has to risk being identified and his life to find the car and clean it himself before the cops find it.

The other [[TheBrute Brute]] of the group, and Helsinki's partner. Much like Helsinki, not much is known about his past, and he doesn't talk much.
----
* OutOfFocus: He talks and is seen the least out of the crew by a large margin.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Helsinki, though the latter is not heterosexual. As Helsinki says it, they were together in war, in peace, in crime and in prison.
* TheQuietOne: Tokyo calls him such. Indeed, he barely utters a word during the first season, and in flashbacks, doesn't say anything in future seasons.
* TheStoic: He laughs and smiles much less than Helsinki does.
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Helsinki in early episodes, before his death.
* WeHardlyKnewYou: He has about 5 lines before dying in season 1.

* HourglassPlot: She goes from confronting the robbers in the earlier seasons to ''becoming'' one of the robbers by the final season, complete with the Dali suit. Both Sierra and Professor lampshade this.

* CharacterDevelopment: She start as a dominated woman with little control in her life to a woman who fights for what she believes in.

* GoodGirlsAvoidAbortion: When Arturo tells Mónica he does not plan to divorce his wife, she requests an abortive pill. Denver convinces her not to take it, at least for a while.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: She genuinely liked Arturo in the beginning. She gets better, but you have to wonder what she has ever seen in him in the first place.

[[quoteright:233:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/palermo_7.png]]
->'''Played By''': Rodrigo De La Serna

An old friend of Berlin, he is the one that came up with the plan to take the gold in the Spanish National Bank.

* TheAtoner: [[spoiler: In the aftermath of Gandia's rampage through the Bank of Spain after setting him loose, Palermo promises to Helsinki that he will stand with him to repay for what he's done.]]
* CampGay: He's quite effeminate in his behavior, and first flirts and then has sex with Helsinki.
* CatchPhrase: Him and Helsinki coin the term "Boom-Boom Chau" to describe the act of two men having casual sex.
* EasilyForgiven: Despite his betrayal that caused ''a lot'' of trouble to the others, he's very soon reintegrated into the group.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: For the most part, he's a {{Jerkass}} who doesn't care much about the rest of the crew. He's only loyal to the plan, because it was made by the person he truly loved, Berlin.
* EvilSoundsDeep: He's the TokenEvilTeammate and also has a deep voice.
* EyeScream: He gets crystals in his eyes during a shootout, leaving him partially blind.
* {{Foil}}: To Berlin from the first two seasons. Both of them are massive jerkasses who insist on sticking with the plan set in motion, while being openly disliked by the rest of the crew. However, while Berlin was always a self-serving sociopath, Palermo was much more easy-going (if obnoxious) until he's ultimately rejected by Berlin. Palermo also holds the Professor and his crew in a much lower regard than Berlin does, in part because he believes the Professor to be partially responsible for Berlin's death.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: To the other members of the team who didn't want him as a leader and replaced him with Tokyo. He didn't take it well.
* GoneHorriblyRight: Palermo's idea to get himself back into the leadership role of the heist is to set Gandia free, and let him wreak havoc in the Bank of Spain until the crew turns to him for help. Well, Gandia wreaks havoc alright. He manages to capture and imprison Tokyo, establish connection with the outside world to give the Spanish government an advantage against them, and ends with him [[spoiler: gunning down Nairobi in front of everyone before anyone can make a move to stop him, and indirectly responsible for Tokyo's death as she took herself out alongside him]].
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Starts off as a team member, turns into an enemy for some episodes, and eventually goes back to the main character's side at the end of season 4.
* HeelRealization: Even if helping Gandia to escape was a deliberate KickTheDog moment, he feels guilty when [[spoiler: the latter kills Nairobi.]]
* HisHeartWillGoOn: [[spoiler:Was in love with Berlin, who never returned his romantic feelings and then died.]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: Upon Tokyo being promoted to being the head of the heist, Palermo flips his shit, complaining that Tokyo is unfit to lead due to her acting based on emotion instead of sticking to the plan. He then goes on to free Gandia out of a selfish need to be placed back in control, which derails the plan ''even further'' than anything Tokyo could've done.
* IncompatibleOrientation: He had romantic feelings for Berlin, who was straight.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Following his usurpation from Tokyo, he proceeded to generate chaos for the heist team to try to get back in control. Specifically, he allows Gandia to free himself and start terrorizing the heist crew.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: He admits that losing Berlin turned him into the horrible person he is now.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Palermo only realizes the extent of how horrible his decision of helping Gandia escape and cause chaos for the heist members was after [[spoiler: Nairobi dies.]]
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Because of his actions, Palermo is directly responsible for allowing Gandia to interfere with the heist's plan, [[spoiler: and murder Nairobi in cold blood]]. He realizes this shortly after. Even worse, this gives the police enough incentive to [[spoiler: storm the Bank without care for the civilians, resulting in Helsinki's serious condition and Tokyo's death.]]
* PetTheDog: He's much nicer in the season 4 finale, especially when he has a heart to heart talk with Helsinki.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He's a chauvinist and a misogynist.
* ShoutOut: Palermo's real name is Martín and he's Argentinian. Martín Palermo is a famous Argentinian former soccer player and current coach.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Like Berlin before him, although he's less of a sociopath, but still a {{Jerkass}} to everyone, and even ends up betraying the crew when Tokio takes over leadership in a dispute over how to treat Nairobi's gunshot wound.

----
* AmicableExes: Is in friendly terms with both Raquel and his ex-wife.
* ConvenientComa: He's in a coma for a significant part of the third act, and the threat that he may wake up and reveal the Professor's identity dangles overhead for all of that time.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He finds out about the Professor's identity ''by himself'', and would have busted the entire Heist Team if he didn't have an accident under influence.

* {{Jerkass}}: The man continuously undermines Raquel's work and then berates her when his attempts at getting things done do not work.
* ObstructiveBureaucrat: When the Professor gives the police the option between getting Alison Parker (and ''only'' Parker) or eight other teens released, he unhesitatingly orders Raquel to ask for Parker because he sees keeping British/Spanish relations on good terms as something more important than the life of eight teens. The result: the police (and the Spanish government by proxy) gets a shitstorm of bad PR when the Professor releases recorded audio of the call to the news.
* OhCrap: He has an epic one when Rio outs him specifically as the one who ordered his capture and torture.
* RabidCop: He puts a KillOnSight order on the heist team the moment he arrives. That says a whole lot about him.
* StormTheCastle: His first idea is to charge in with all guns blazing and get it over with as quick as possible. Averted in the end: due to the presence of the British ambassador's daughter in the building, nobody else thinks it's the best course of action.
* VillainBall: Has Rio captured, and instead of using him to negotiate a surrender for the robbers, tortures him to spill the beans of the Professor. It leads to the second heist, Rio's prison exchange, and him going down as a torturer.

* TheBaroness: Clearly fits the bill, and some of her interactions with Lisboa imply that [[AlphaBitch she was already like this when both of them were still students]].
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: [[spoiler: After The Professor and some of the teammates help her give birth to a baby girl, she mellows down towards them.]]

* ManipulativeBitch: She's able to manipulate and mess with the emotions of other characters like Lisbon, the Professor, and Nairobi.

* {{Sadist}}: Has no problem in torturing Rio, and actually feels excited when she learns she is to help with capturing the heist team.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Puts a huge dent on [[spoiler: the Professor's plans as well as ''her own team'' once she readily confesses to the torture she inflicted on Rio.]]

[[quoteright:289:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arturo.png]]

->'''Played By''': Enrique Arce
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/BrianBeacock (English)

The director of the Mint. Now a hostage like all the others, he still has leadership and initiative.
----
* AttentionWhore: Especially in season 3 and 4, where he desperately tries to be seen as a hero.
* BadBoss: He continuously bullies people around by threatening to fire them. It says a whole lot about him when Torres, an old employee of the mint and one of the hostages, tells Nairobi (one of the ''hostage takers'') that she's the best boss he's ever worked for.
* ButtMonkey: He gets abused far more repeatedly than the other hostages. Justified, as he's a despicable, stubborn coward who doesn’t really care about the other hostages and is just using them as a means to escape.
* CharacterDevelopment: The negative character arc type. While he's shown as a bad person from his first appearance, he still shows some significant redeeming qualities in the first few episodes, such as trying to convince the robbers to let go the most vulnerable hostages from early on, being more active in trying to find a way to escape and even changing his mind about not taking care of his child with Monica. However, as the series progresses and becomes a bigger and bigger GlorySeeker, these redeeming qualities eventually disappear.
* DirtyCoward: The damned jerk makes a big plan to escape capture that he tells the heist team the moment they threaten to beat him up.
* DramaQueen: Big time. When Manila kneecaps him, he acts as if he's mortally wounded even though the bullet didn’t even hit any arteries.
* HateSink: To make a long story short, among all of the cast, throughout multiple seasons, he is one of the most loathsome individuals. Cheating on his wife, DirtyCoward, idiotic attempts at being a DefiantCaptive that he bullies other people into helping him with (and then gets them killed or nearly so), elitist, BadBoss...[[spoiler:In season 4 he offers a hostage pills to help her anxiety and it's heavily implied he molested her while she was under its effects.]]
* InSeriesNickname: Berlin coins "Arturito ("Little Artie")" for him. Considering Arturo tries to be as macho as possible, it's as denigrating to him as you expect it to be.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Even if he claims to care about Monica and their child, ultimately he's only trying to make everything about himself because he's an EntitledBastard.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Can't really blame the guy for not counting on the HeistTeam to keep their word to not harm them. Helsinki concedes.
** He's right about the bomb strapped to him being a fake. Granted, his way of responding to this realization ([[WhatAnIdiot wanting to strip it off and make another escape plan]]) [[SpannerInTheWorks would have fucked everyone over, himself included]], so Allison's right in forcing him to sit down and shut up.
** Even if he's [[MilesGloriosus playing himself up to an extreme]] during the TED talk, he has a point in saying heist crew are ''far'' from being heroes, and put him and the other hostages through many terrible things. Most notably, he has a right to hate Denver for basically kidnapping his child.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Since the beginning, every time the viewers may think he has some standards and decency deep down, he will say or do something that contradicts this in the same scene. In the first season, he makes a moving speech to his wife but ruins it at the end by calling her Monica, the name of his lover.
* KavorkaMan: There's nothing attractive about his appearance or personality, but at the start of the show, he has two women in love with him. [[LaserGuidedKarma He ends up losing both of them.]]
* KneeCapping: Manila shoots him in the knee in Season 4 as punishment for yet another stupid act of defiance.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Loses both his wife and Monica after the heist, effectively loses his son with Monica, with his other sons refusing to speak to him as he cheated on their mother.
* LeeroyJenkins: He never really has a plan when he tries to sabotage the thieves', he just tosses crazy ideas at the wall as soon as he thinks of them in the hopes something sticks.[[spoiler:And he purposely gets taken hostage in season 3 to try to be a hero.]]
* ManipulativeBastard: He constantly tries to make other hostages do what he wants by appealing to their desire to survive or the chance that they could be the heroes of the day.
* MilesGloriosus: [[spoiler:He managed to build himself a pretty profitable reputation by spreading BlatantLies about his "heroism" during the Mint heist, his first scene in the third season being him as a guest speaker in a Spanish TED {{Expy}}.]]
* RabbleRouser: [[spoiler:When he becomes a hostage again in Season 4, all of his attempted manipulations to have the other hostages fight the heist team come across as this.]]
* SmallNameBigEgo: He definitely overestimates himself and has a narcissistic ego.
* TooDumbToLive: His pathetic attempts at being a DefiantCaptive usually end up biting him in the ass, such as getting shot in the first season. It's a miracle he's still alive.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Originally just a cowardly, selfish jerk. In season 4, he also becomes a rapist.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: After the first heist, he's shown to be a well-known public figure and motivational speaker with legions of fans who believe him to be a courageous hero. While he makes some good points during his speech (the heist crew shouldn't be considered heroes at all), Arturo himself is also far from a hero and the following episodes reveal him to be even more despicable than he was in the beginning.

* TheIngenue: She's naive enough to trust a JerkJock guy and insecure enough to let her classmates walk over her.
* InstantHumiliationJustAddYouTube: In this case, Instagram, when Pablo publishes a picture where Alison is half naked.
* LivingMacGuffin: Her status as the daughter of the British ambassador makes her a high-value hostage. Deconstructed when Colonel Prieto orders Raquel to get her [[SadisticChoice instead of]] other eight teen hostages the Professor was offering for the sake of politics and the gang releases a recording of this conversation on the news -- the shitstorm of bad PR is instant and brutal.
* MoralityPet: She is this to Rio.
* TookALevelInBadass: During the heist, she starts being a bullied and frail high school student to a more confident and emotionally stronger girl able to make shut out Arturo the building director.

!César Gandía
[[quoteright:310:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gandia.png]]
->'''Played by''': José Manuel Poga

Chief of security for the Bank of Spain who escapes from being a hostage.
----
* AscendedExtra: Has a minor role in season 3, but ends up becoming the BigBad in the second half of season 4, and returns as one of the antagonists in Season 5 allying with the Special Forces.
* AxCrazy: He's overly violent and unstable even ''before'' going on a murderous rampage in the bank and becoming disturbingly obsessed with killing Nairobi. [[spoiler: He succeeds.]]
* BaldOfEvil: Bald and a despicable person.
* BigBad: After escaping, he becomes the main obstacle to the main characters.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He has a wife named Marisa and a son named Juanito.
* ForTheEvulz: [[spoiler: He murders Nairobi after seemingly letting her go solely for this reason.]]
* HateSink: He's made to be as mean, racist, and ruthless as possible, as well as killing Nairobi, even if it wasn't necessary. HeroAntagonist or not, the writers didn't want the viewers to like this guy.
* HeroAntagonist: If you hear the story of a chief of security doing everything to stop a gang of robbers, he would easily be considered the hero. [[{{Jerkass}} He's still not a good person, though.]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: [[spoiler: He sees Nairobi as nothing but an insane violent woman before he kills her, when in reality it's the other way around and Nairobi is completely sane.]]
* InvincibleVillain: He manages to survive and avoid the bullets despite having at least eight people shooting at his direction at the same time. [[spoiler: Until Season 5.]]
* IronicName: In a pretty roundabout way. His surname, Gandía, is the name of a city in Spain, so it would fit perfectly with the LocationThemeNaming of the robbers.
* KnightOfCerebus: The most terrifying threat the gang has to the plan. Even when he's handcuffed, his terrifying aura can be felt.
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler: If Tokyo's grenade attack on him worked, then it's safe to say no one is going to miss him at all after the misdeeds he's done and got away with, and becoming the victim of one he tortured and tried to assault.]]
** [[spoiler: Episode 6 of season 5 confirmes he was indeed killed by Tokyo's suicide attack.]]
* LastNameBasis: Always referred to by his last name, while his first name is rarely mentioned.
* MysteriousPast: Before the heist, Berlin, Palermo, and the Professor assume he had a shady past as a killer before becoming the bank's Chief of security, but it's not elaborated on.
* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: He considers killing the robbers a necessary act to protect the bank, but it's clear from his behavior that he takes pleasure in killing and inflicting pain on other people.
* OneManArmy: The guy manages to fight against multiple heist members all at once without suffering so much as a scratch. Could be justified because he's wearing heavy combat armor.
* PlotArmor: The reason why he's apparently able to avoid hundreds of bullets so many times during the gunfights. [[spoiler: His armor expires during the Season 5 mid-season finale.]]
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He often makes racist remarks, especially towards Nairobi.
* RelativeButton: He taunts Denver by bringing up his father's death at the hands of the police. He gets a punch to the face for his troubles.
* RevengeBeforeReason: When Palermo offers him a chance to leave the Bank unscathed, he [[spoiler: ditches the opportunity to shoot Nairobi for her earlier remarks. It leads to his death in Season 5.]]
* TokenEvilTeammate: For the Bank of Spain.
* WouldHitAGirl: [[spoiler: He kills Nairobi by shooting her in the head.]]

->'''Played by:''' Pep Munné

The Governor of the Bank of Spain.
----
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Or hostage. While Arturo was a MilesGloriosus and attempted to make others do the dirty work for him, Mario is AFatherToHisMen and a truer DefiantCaptive than Arturo could ever hope to be. It's even more clear when Mario and Arturo are in the same room.
* DefiantToTheEnd: Is prepared to die than handover Europe's darkest secrets to them. Too bad the Professor had an alternate plan.
* GoodCounterpart: To Arturo from the first heist.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Tears into Arturo when the latter attempts to stage an uprising on the armed and dangerous robbers.
* SpottingTheThread: He easily pokes holes into Tokyo and Nairobi's cover stories as Army members, and could have busted them hadn't Gandia been too trigger-happy.
* TokenGoodTeammate: From the top echelon of the Bank of Spain. The Professor recognizes this as well as he orders the Team to be more lenient to him to be in his good books.

* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:The heist team (save for Oslo, Moscow and Berlin) gets away unscathed at the end of season 2. Denver even finds himself a girlfriend in the form of Mónica, one of the hostages.
