[[folder:Charon]]
-->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/LanceReddick

A concierge at The New York Continental Hotel, and the focus of the Brooklyn 10-10 stage. Charon was handling a very important package for the Continental, but was ambushed by a gang who intended to steal from him. The Continental called in the Payday gang to rescue him and secure the package he is defending. Afterwards, he would reward the gang by (unofficially) providing information about [=McKendrick=]'s Yacht, allowing them to get even for his betrayal.\\

----
* AdaptationalBadass: Charon doesn't participate in the action in his home series until ''[[Film/JohnWickChapter3Parabellum Parebellum]]'' rolls around, [[spoiler:which, in this universe, is set after the events of Payday 2]]. Here, he'll join in on the gun fight the moment the Payday gang distracts his captors. Given the circumstances, it's justified.
* BadassBureaucrat: Charon, the humble, soft-spoken continental hotel concierge, gets to wade into bullet fire and proves himself to be very good with a gun.
* BadassInDistress: How this level starts out.
* BullyingADragon: A street gang picked on Charon, a Continental employee who works under Winston. Suffice to say, they felt their wrath swiftly.
* ConsummateProfessional: Like John Wick, he also maintains a professional demeanour even in the heat of combat. Although, at times he may start to issue threats at the gang.
* GameplayAllyImmortality: Being a rescue mission and that Charon joins in on the fight, it is a good thing he benefits from this. Played with later, as he does get injured mid-level, but will not be a problem otherwise.
* InkSuitActor: He looks like, and has the voice of, Lance Reddick in the game.
* ItsPersonal: John Wick insists that rescuing Charon is ''personal'' for him, so Wick is extra-focused at getting Charon out of harms way.
* MadeOfIron: Takes a bullet to his shoulder, and is no more worse for wear than any of the crew.
* OffTheRecord: As thanks for his rescue, Charon provides John Wick the information on [=McKendrick's=] yacht, but maintains that he ''never did''.
* YouHaveNoIdeaWhoYoureDealingWith: A street gang decides to pick on Charon. Safe to say, they met their end ''really quickly''.

* KarmaHoudini: Yes, the Payday Gang did serious damage to his finances and their crime spree didn't do him any favors as the mayor of DC. But by the time of Payday 3, he apparently managed to become President of the United States.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: {{Justified|Trope}}, as running in [[HighHeelHurt high heels would be a pain]], and a detriment to sniping a moving target.

-->'''Houston''': Ca-can you speak a little louder? Sounded like you were buying me dinner...\\
'''Pager Guy''': Uh-huh, uh-huh... yeah, that makes sense...

** Despite all guards in the game being male, he won't think twice if the pager is answered by Bonnie, Clover, Sydney, Hila or Joy. [[WildMassGuessing Probably]] {{justified}}, since he likely wouldn't know all the security guards deployed in his vicinity.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: {{Justified}}, as running in [[HighHeelHurt high heels would be a pain]], and a detriment to sniping a moving target.

* KickTheDog: She kills two random strangers just making out in an elevator, who otherwise had nothing to do with her mission. Something Bain (in-game anyway) would not approve of. {{Justified}}, sort of; most likely they'd reported her had she let them live considering she was holding a massive sniper rifle directly in front of them.

[[/folder]]

* AscendedExtra: Initially a mere Pilot asset in GO Bank, he became the focus of the White Xmas Heist, where he was transporting a shipment of cocaine for Vlad disguised as Christmas presents, but crashed in the woods outside Washington because he was drunk. He returns in the Goat Simulator heist to lift the eponymous goats away on day 2, and in Stealing Xmas, he once again, screws up a shipment of coke for Vlad by getting drunk and crashing into a mall in a Santa outfit.

* YouMakeMeSic: If his emails from the FBI Files are any indication, his typing skills are abysmal and leave his messages rife with spelling and grammatical errors. Rather, he's been paranoid of the Payday gang possibly tracking him down.

* ProperlyParanoid: They don't call until the vault's timelock is activated, due to the systems pinging them when you do so. Depending on your luck with Hillary, she will ask one of several questions, and Bain can only rarely fool her. Even if you do manage to fool her, she can still contact the local PD Chief and have him send someone over.

* [[YouAllLookFamiliar You ALL Sound Familiar]]: They sound nearly the same. Jen, who also happens to work at [=GenSec=] and fulfills a similar role in the Big Bank, sometimes leading to confusion. Given that both women are rarely fooled by Bain and often sends a group of guards your way, most people are satisfied with cursing at everyone who calls from [=GenSec=].
** However, Jen has a ''much'' lower chance of sending in extra guards to the Belevolent Bank (it's based on the amount of civilian casualties), while Hillary almost ''always'' sends in extra guards to Robert's Bank, so Hillary is far less liked than Jen. Jen's apologetic way of speaking contrasts with Hillary's more condescending manner.

* OneSteveLimit: Two cases; there's Bobblehead Bob, who (unofficially) shares the same first name with him and another [=McKendrick=] who has the museum dedicated to him. It's unknown if he's related to the other [=McKendrick=] or not, but it is known that the two are different people.

* YouMakeMeSic: If his emails from the FBI Files are any indication, his typing skills are abysmal. Rather, he's been paranoid of the Payday gang possibly tracking him down.

* AscendedExtra: Initially a mere Pilot asset in GO Bank, he became the focus of the White Xmas Heist, where he was transporting a shipment of cocaine for Vlad disguised as Christmas presents, but crashed in the woods outside Washington because he was drunk. He returns in the Goat Simulator heist to lift the eponymous goats away on day 2, and in Stealing Xmas, he once again, screws up a shipment of coke for Vlad by getting drunk and crashing into a mall in a santa outfit.

* MetaGuy: He mentions many of the various complaints and observations made by the fanbase over the years, including the seemingly arbitrary limits on cable ties, the inability to carry more than one bag at once, the constantly-breaking drills, and the hate toward microtransactions.

* AscendedExtra: Initially a mere Pilot asset in GO Bank, he became the focus of the White Xmas Heist, where he was transporting a shipment of cocaine for Vlad disguised as Christmas presents, but crashed in the woods outside Washington because he was drunk. He returns in the Goat Simulator heist to lift the eponymous goats away on day 2, and in Stealing Xmas, he once again, screws up a shipment of coke for Vlad by getting drunk and crashing into a mall in a santa outfit.

* DroppedABridgeOnHer: In Hoxton Breakout Day 2, She appears as an NPC, though being just another mook for the crew to gun down, most players aren't even aware of who they just killed.

* MauveShirt: A prominent character in the web series who subtly appears ingame - She's the blonde female agent in the blue shirt in the FBI operations room during Hoxton Breakout.

* VideoGameCaringPotential: Though not initially possible, with the skill tree update the crew can shout her down and cuff her, then make sure she survives the heist.

A Bosnian-Norwegian airplane pilot and Vlad's brother-in-law. Initially a minor character, he became the focus of the White Xmas Heist, where he was transporting a shipment of pure, uncut cocaine for Vlad disguised as Christmas presents, but crashed in the woods outside Washington because he was drunk. He returns in the Goat Simulator heist to lift the eponymous goats away on day 2, and Stealing Xmas, once again screwing up a shipment of coke for Vlad by getting drunk.

* CreatorCameo: He is voiced and played by Almir Listo, much like how Bain is voiced by Simon.
* DrunkDriver: More of a pilot than driver. He is sober in Goat Simulator, however. And drunk once again in Stealing Xmas, but he was not flying anything this time around. And then sober again when he shows up as part of Breakfast in Tijuana.

* GameplayAllyImmortality: The White Xmas heist would be hair-pullingly frustrating otherwise, since he is slow as molasses, and passes out at random times. This doesn't mean the mission is by any means ''easy''.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: He's a ''lot'' less silly during the "Breakfast in Tijuana" heist, mainly because he's both separated from alcohol and ''really'' eager to avoid prison.

* {{Irony}}: For a professional assassin judging by Bain's description, Greta clearly shows amateurish skill when it comes to hiding evidence, or even not drawing attention to herself. This is especially notable when she snipes an agent accompanying The Elephant, missing several times, and then [[NeverMyFault blaming Gage for not zero'ing the scope]].
* KickTheDog: She kills two random strangers just making out in an elevator, who otherwise had nothing to do with her mission. Something Bain (in-game anyway) would not approve of. {{Justified}}, sort of; most likely they'd reported her had she let them live.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: To the extend that Aldstone can be called "evil", of course. He's fine with them stealing money and jewels, but cautions them about engaging in identity theft. Cut dialogue had him horrified that the crew had stolen from the poor upon completion of a trophy that required stealing a knife from a homeless person in Aftershock.
* IdenticalGrandson: He looks nearly identical to his grandfather who participated in World War 2 alongside The Raid Gang as revealed in the Aldstone's Heritage event.

* MetaGuy: He mentions many of the various complaints and observations made by the fanbase over the years, including limits on cable ties, the inability to carry more than one bag at once, the constantly-breaking drills, and the hate toward microtransactions.

* PrecisionFStrike: Gives one during the trailer for "Breakfast in Tijuana" as he reveals where he is to Vlad.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: He's a ''lot'' less silly during the "Breakfast in Tijuana" heist, mainly because he's both separated from alcohol and ''really'' eager to avoid prison.

* DrunkDriver: More of a pilot than driver. He is sober in Goat Simulator, however. And drunk once again in Stealing Xmas, but he was not flying anything this time around.

[[folder:Bubba]]

* CreatorCameo: He is voiced by Almir List, much like how Bain is voiced by Simon.

* VodkaDrunkenski: Seems to run in the family. This actually makes the gang's job a whole lot harder, since he will pass out at random moments or take a moment to take another swig, all the while ''you're being shot at''.

A concierge at The New York Continental Hotel, and the focus of the Brooklyn 10-10 stage. Charon was handling a very important package for the Continental, but was ambushed by a gang who intended to steal from him. The Continental called in the Payday gang to rescue him and secure the package he is defending. Afterwards, he would reward the gang by (unofficially) providing information about [=McKendrick=]'s Yacht, allowing them to get even for his betrayal.

Those who want to do stealth runs will inevitably have to deal with this guy. Regular security guards and GenSec guards come equipped with pagers, which will need to be answered once per guard if said guard was killed or apprehended. He can tolerate four strange calls, but if he has to take a fifth one, gets disconnected during a call, or does not receive an answer within the time limit, he gets fed up and sounds the alarm.

* [[YouAllLookFamiliar You ALL Sound Familiar]]: They sound nearly the same. Jen, who also happens to work at [=GenSec=] and fulfills a similar role in the Big Bank, sometimes leading to confusion. Given that both women are rarely fooled by Bain and often sends a group of guards your way, most people are satisfied with cursing at everyone who calls from GenSec.

* CorruptPolitician: It's unclear exactly how corrupt he actually is, as all contracts pertaining to him are given to you by The Elephant, who may be clandestinely helping Bob without the latter knowing form the most part. However it's implied that he is willing to transfer Hoxton, who is a known cop-killer, to a lower security prison without question, which means he must be aware of the gang on some level.

* ShaggyDogStory: Going through tremendous stress and depression, she has been working tirelessly to bring the Payday gang to justice, and to make light of Crime Net to the public. However, Vlad meets with her and gives her a friendly warning not to get close to the truth, as she will be killed. She was never referenced in the games since. By the Hoxton Breakout heist, she finally makes an appearance in the game, on Day 2... only to possibly be immediately killed by the Payday gang.

An airplane pilot and Vlad's brother-in-law. Initially a minor character, he became the focus of the White Xmas Heist, where he was transporting a shipment of pure, uncut cocaine for Vlad disguised as Christmas presents, but crashed in the woods outside Washington because he was drunk. He returns in the Goat Simulator heist to lift the eponymous goats away on day 2, and Stealing Xmas, once again screwing up a shipment of coke for Vlad by getting drunk.

* AcePilot: Usually. Sometimes he misses the cage in Goat Simulator, and when he doesn't he's noticeably surprised. Plus the entire White Xmas heist wouldn't have happened if he hadn't gotten drunk at the helm and crashed the plane.
* CreatorCameo: He's voiced by Almir, much like how Bain is voiced by Simon.
* DrunkDriver: Except it's a plane instead of a car. He's sober in Goat Simulator, however. And drunk once again in Stealing Xmas, but he was not flying anything this time around.

* GameplayAllyImmortality: The White Xmas heist would be hair-pullingly frustrating otherwise, since he's slow as molasses, and passes out at random times. This doesn't mean the mission is by any means ''easy''.

* BullyingADragon: A street gang picked on Charon, a Continental employee who works under '''''[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Winston]]'''''. Suffice to say, they felt their wrath swiftly.

* ConsummateProfessional: Like John Wick, he also maintains a professional demeanor even in the heat of combat. Although, at times he may start to issue threats at the gang.

* ItsPersonal: John Wick insists that rescuing Charon is ''personal'' for him, so he's extra-foucsed at getting Charon out.
* MadeOfIron: Takes a bullet, and is no more worse for wear.

* BullyingADragon: A street gang picked on Charon, a Continental employee who works under ''Winston''. Suffice to say, they felt their wrath swiftly.

* ItsPersonal: John Wick insists that rescuing Charon is ''personal'' for him. (''John Wick Chapter 2'' spoilers.) [[spoiler:The ending to ''John Wick Chapter 2'' had Wick's membership revoked, and a price on his head, so it's likely that he did this not just out of respect, but as a personal favor for Charon for assisting him a bunch of times, and possibly trying to get on Winston's good side again.]]

* ProperlyParanoid: They don't call until the vault's timelock is activated, due to the systems pinging them when you do so. Depending on your luck wit Hillary, she will ask one of several questions, and Bain can only rarely fool her. Even if you do manage to fool her, she can still contact the local PD Chief and have him send someone over.

** Despite all guards in the game being male, he won't think twice if the pager is answered by Clover, Bonnie, or Sydney. [[WildMassGuessing Probably]] {{justified}}, since he wouldn't know all the security guards deployed.

* GameplayAllyImmortality: The White Xmas heist would be hair-pullingly frustrating otherwise, since he's slow as hell and passes out at random times. This doesn't mean the mission is by any means ''easy''.

* Irony: For a professional assassin judging by Bain's description, Greta clearly shows amateurish skill when it comes to hiding evidence, or even not drawing attention to herself. This is especially notable when she snipes an agent accompanying The Elephant, missing several times, and then [[NeverMyFault blaming Gage for not zero'ing the scope]].

** Despite all guards in the game being male, he won't think twice if the pager is answered by Clover, Bonnie, or Sydney.

* HairTriggerTemper: He gets annoyed whenever he has to page a guard, and tends to get angry after several strange answers. Before the stealth revamp, the pager guy could get a ''lot'' more abrasive, as the number of calls was higher.
* ProperlyParanoid: He only pages guards when they drop dead, possibly due to each of them holding a dead man's switch of some kind on their pagers. Amusingly though, depending on the dialogue, he could sound the alarm on the 5th pager solely because ''he was tired of all the jokes he was being fed''.

* TheStoic: For all the crazy stuff that can happen during stealth, he is quite level headed, if somewhat quick to anger.

[[folder:Hillary]]
A woman who works for GenSec monitoring the GO Bank, and regularly keeps tabs on the establishment to ensure everything's alright. Infamous among the heisters for her ability to randomly ruin a stealth heist as she is able to send in guards if Bain wasn't convincing enough (and he usually isn't) or call the police if she doesn't get to speak to the officers. Notably, even after you've satisfied her, she will still contact Captain Rogers with the local police, who can just flat out sound the alarm after a minute or more with no way of preventing it.

* OutOfCharacterAlert: What usually tips her off that something is up at the bank. Bain will always tell her that the bank manager Barney is away at a meeting for an account, but it's implied that Barney is a security guard, and thus would never be allowed to handle financial business at the bank (at least not brokering a deal). There is a rare occasion where she will buy it, implying either Barney switches jobs depending on how the RandomNumberGod feels, or there there's more than one Barney working there.
* ProperlyParanoid: She doesn't call until you've activated the time-lock on the vault, due to the systems pinging her when you do so. Depending on your luck, she will ask one of several questions, and Bain can only rarely fool her. Even if you do manage to fool her, she can still contact the local PD Chief and have him send someone over.
* TrustPassword: A mundane version, as she asks Bain for the timelock codes and gets immediately suspicious after Bain feigns ignorance (claiming to be new on the job). She doesn't buy it, and Bain has to get the crew to hurriedly find the codes before Hillary catches on. Failing to do so will also trigger an alarm from her, and even succeeding may still send two GenSec guards your way.
* TheVoice: Much like the Pager Guy, Hillary is never seen due to her only interaction with you being through the phone.
* [[YouAllLookFamiliar You ALL Sound Familiar]]: Her voice is nearly the same as Jen, who also happen to work at GenSec and fulfills a similar role in Big Bank, sometimes leading to confusion. Given that both women are rarely fooled by Bain and often sends a group of guards your way, most people are satisfied with cursing at everyone who calls from GenSec.
** However, Jen has a ''much'' lower chance of sending in extra guards in the Big Bank heist (it's based on the amount of civilian casualties), while Hillary almost ''always'' sends in extra guards in GO Bank, so Hillary is far more hated than Jen. Jen's apologetic as well while Hillary sounds much more condescending.

** FBI Files trailer confirms he is fully aware of the relationship between Bain and Simmons [[spoiler:and prepares to sell out the gang as they have become more trouble than they are worth for him.]]

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:While he is probably appreciative of the PAYDAY crew rigging the elections so that he could become mayor, the crew's massive spree of crimes had turned the public against him. Willing to throw the crew under the bus in order to save his own skin, [=McKendrick=] contacts the Elephant to find a way to stop the crew from doing any more damage to the city. Their solution is bringing in Commissioner Garrett, who was known for taking down two mafias in Boston. Unfortunately for him, [[OutGambitted The Elephant isn't exactly on his side]].]]

* KickTheDog: She killed two random strangers just making out in an elevator, who otherwise had nothing to do with her mission. Something Bain (in-game anyway) would not approve of.
