!!Ray Heyworth
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ray_4.jpg]]
->'''Played by:''' Creator/CraigRobinson

->''Life isn't about falling and getting back up. The whole thing is a fall. A perpetual state of grasping in the dark. It's not about getting up, it's about stumbling, stumbling in the right direction.''

A charming, but enigmatic man who meets Elliot at a basketball game early in the second season. He asks Elliot to help him with cyber security troubles related to his online business, but Elliot knows he isn't telling all of the story. He's actually the warden of Elliot's prison, and is using his head guard and a few abused prisoners to run an illegal trafficking site for him.

* AffablyEvil: Constantly pleasant and friendly, even when he's talking to someone who pisses him off, but he is in charge of a Silk Road-style trafficking website that he's willing to have his enforcers beat and kill people to protect.
* ArcVillain: The main villain of Elliot's prison arc.
* BigFun: A larger man, but very friendly and charming. [[BewareTheNiceOnes At least on the surface.]]
* DeadPersonConversation: To deal with his wife's passing, he holds imaginary conversations with her at the dinner table.
* {{Expy}}: Of Ross Ulbricht, the man who founded the Silk Road online black market. Aside from their business similarities, they have similar logos and site layouts, and both go / went by the username [[Film/ThePrincessBride Dread Pirate Roberts]]. In fact, there are strong hints that Ray is meant to be the still-unidentified second "Dread Pirate Roberts" who restarted Silk Road after Ulbricht's arrest.
** The reveal of his identity also makes him one for [[WardensAreEvil Warden Norton]] in ''Film/TheShawshankRedemption'', a seemingly trusted prison warden who's really using his chief guard and abusing prisoners to help him run an illegal operation. Ray is significantly more AffablyEvil than Norton, however, and [[KnowWhenToFoldEm willingly goes with the police]] when Elliot brings them down on him.
* HeelFaceTurn: Lets himself get caught for his crimes and allows Elliot to go free.
* HeelRealisation: He only looks into what his website is hosting after coming into contact with Elliot. The guilt of this drives him into letting Elliot get him busted.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: When he realizes Elliot has informed the police of his crimes, he calmly lets Elliot leave and surrenders to the authorities, implicitly overcome with guilt over what happened on his website.
* MeaningfulName: R. Heyworth, as in ''Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption''.
* MysteriousStranger: He first appears without warning in Elliot's life and displays qualities that make Elliot both drawn to and wary of him. We learn nothing about his past or his enigmatic Bitcoin-based business for several episodes, leaving him a total enigma. He's ultimately revealed to be the mastermind behind a profitable black market website dealing in human trafficking, drugs, and arms dealing, as well as the warden of the prison Elliot resides in.
* PragmaticVillainy: After his former IT guy (whom Ray has already had beaten up) tells him he can't do the site migration Ray wants, Ray's enforcer offers to beat him up again, but Ray tells him there's no point if the man just doesn't know how to do it.
* WalkingSpoiler: Once his business is revealed in "Logic Bomb", discussing him becomes much more difficult without spoiling things. Even more so when he's revealed to be the warden of the prison.
* WardensAreEvil: He's the warden of the prison Elliot gets sent to, and has been running an illegal site and violently beating prisoners for not helping him.

[[folder:Shayla]]

->'''Played by:''' Frankie Shaw

->''[[ShoutOut Keep the fish,]] [[Film/HomeAlone ya filthy animal!]]''

Elliot's next door neighbour and drug dealer. Her drugs are supplied by Fernando Vera.

* BettyAndVeronica: Plays Veronica to Angela's Betty. She wins out. [[SacrificialLamb Briefly.]]
* HopeSpot: Shayla's escaped from her abusive relationship with Vera, stopped dealing drugs, managed to get a job as a waitress, and seems to have a budding relationship with Elliot right before she ends up getting [[StuffedInTheFridge kidnapped and killed]].
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Shows shades of this in flashbacks. She makes it clear that she aims to be "extraordinary" in Elliot's eyes, gives him his pet fish, offers to get him the drugs he asks for, and invites herself over to his apartment to socialize.
* SacrificialLamb: She's developed as Elliot's love interest and a main character for over half of the first season prior to her death, and Vera's murder of her sends Elliot's mental health spiraling downward and signals the start of the season's final act.

* StuffedInTheFridge: Is killed by her ex-boyfriend for what he believes is her ratting him out.

[[folder:Vera]]
!!Fernando Vera
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vera.jpg]]
->'''Played by:''' Elliot Villar

->''People walk around, act like they know what hate means. Nah, no one does, until you hate yourself. I mean truly hate yourself. ''That's'' power.''

A homicidal gangster and drug dealer, and Shayla's ex-boyfriend. His actions toward Shayla eventually force him into blows with Elliot, resulting in his imprisonment.

* AffablyEvil: When he first meets Elliot, he's quite talkative and helpful if a bit forceful, even giving Elliot advice on how to properly deal with his depression. He continues to act friendly toward Elliot when he's in jail, promising to give him a hug when he gets out. Too bad he's an AxCrazy [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil rapist]] who casually commits murder when it suits him.
* AxCrazy: A psychotic drug dealer who [[TalkativeLoon rambles about his existential worldview]] and murders people without a second thought, including Shayla and his own brother.
* BigBadWannabe: He fashions himself Elliot's nemesis and the biggest threat in the city, but he's really just an upper-level drug dealer with a couple of criminal connections. The only thing initially stopping Elliot from putting him away like any other criminal is what he's peddling -- he sells Shayla the morphine that Elliot feeds his addiction with.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In his first appearance, Elliot finds him partially nude in Shayla's apartment, and has to listen to a rambling HannibalLecture which causes his ears to ring. When he finally leaves, Elliot goes into the bathroom to find Shayla passed out naked in the tub; when she wakes up, she reveals that [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil she doesn't remember having sex with him.]]
* HiddenDepths: Some of his philosophical ramblings are quite educated and profound. He also seems to have a small interest in etymology.
* KarmaHoudini: Gets broken out of jail, thwarts his brother's assassination attempt, and flees without receiving a comeuppance for killing Shayla. [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse To date, he has not reappeared.]]
* ThePowerOfHate: In his words, his "power". He tells Elliot that a person can't understand themselves until they truly hate themselves.
* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: He's been drugging and raping Shayla. This is the straw that breaks the camel's back and is what pushes Elliot to bust him.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He's only in two episodes and spends most of the latter in prison, but his murder of Shayla deprives Elliot of one of his closest friends and deeply impacts his mental state for the remainder of the season.
* StalkerWithACrush: Toward his ex-girlfriend Shayla.
* TalkativeLoon: Talks so much during his first meeting with Elliot that all Elliot hears is a ringing.
* TheUnfettered: He has no moral code, and is willing to take whatever he wants and murder anyone who gets in his way. He is, in his own words, "free."
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Disappears after being sprung out of jail, killing his brother, and revealing that he murdered Shayla. There's no mention of him for the rest of the season or the entirety of the second, and since the plot has otherwise moved on, it's assumed that he [[KarmaHoudini simply got away with everything]].

[[folder:Magda]]
!!Magda Alderson
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/untitled_26.png]]
->'''Played by:''' Vaishnavi Sharma

->''God says there are no accidents!''

Darlene and Elliot's mother. She lost her husband to cancer twenty years ago.

* AbusiveParents: Shown being physically and emotionally abusive to Elliot, and it's implied that she was no different to Darlene. The book reveals that she once gave Darlene a face full of bruises and a bloody lip for running away.
* AmbiguousDisorder: Appears to have had anger issues even before the death of her husband. When Elliot visits her in the present day, she appears to be in some kind of assisted living arrangement and is completely catatonic.
* CigaretteBurns: Puts a cigarette out on Darlene's arm in Elliot's dream.
* KickTheDog: Or drown the cat, as it may be. In the book, Elliot recounts that his mother staunchly refused to let her children have any pets, much to Darlene's chagrin. When their neighbour's cat had kittens, Darlene secretly took one home and kept it as an outdoor cat, naming it Moon Pie. One day, their mother drove them out to a lake and handed Darlene a sack with Moon Pie in it. She then told Darlene to tie the bag up and throw it in the lake. Darlene refused and ran away for three days, only returning once she had safely given the cat to an elderly neighbour. Her mother reacted by beating her badly enough to make her bleed. It's implied this event made Darlene hate their mother worse than Elliot.
* OralFixation: In flashbacks she's constantly seen smoking, even at the dinner table.
* WidowWoman: Lost her husband to the E Corp toxic leak. It's implied she took her frustrations out on her offspring.

[[folder:Edward]]
!!Edward Alderson
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/edward_alderson_4.jpg]]
->'''Played by:''' Creator/ChristianSlater

->''You're still a good kid.''

Darlene and Elliot's late father, and the man Elliot based Mr. Robot on. He use to work for E Corp, then was fired, then started his own computer repair business called "Mr. Robot", then died of leukemia thanks to a project he worked on at E Corp.

* MrFixit: Used to be a computer repairman.
* ParentsAsPeople: The problem is that most information we have about Edward is unreliable. He might have been a good parent to Elliot and Darlene, but he might have pushed Elliot out a window when Elliot told his wife he had leukemia, but he might not have, or he might have because he was that afraid of his wife.
* PosthumousCharacter: Died twenty years before the series started.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He's a PosthumousCharacter only seen in a few flashbacks, but his death is the reason for Elliot's passionate hatred of E Corp and marked the turning point for his [[SanitySlippage mental instability]]. Elliot also based the Mr. Robot persona on him, which becomes more apparent when Mr. Robot takes on fatherly aspects in the second season.

Elliot's psychiatrist and therapist.
----
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: She has a tendency to date scumbags, at least according to Elliot.
* HatesBeingAlone: Her [[FreezeFrameBonus dating profile]] makes her abandonment issues quite clear. She doesn't care how a prospective partner treats her, only that they don't leave:

* ParentalAbandonment: Her father abandoned her when she was a teenager.
* TheShrink: She's Elliot's therapist. However, Elliot thinks she's too naive to be really effective in reading people.

The local pyromaniac, who Elliot strikes up a somewhat shaky friendship with [[spoiler: during their time in jail.]]

* PyroManiac: She tends to burn books when she finishes reading them.

* WhatTheHellHero: She calls Elliot out after he [[spoiler: spreads the rumour that she has an STD around the prison.
