* {{Expy}}: To Minister Mason from the ''Film/{{Snowpiercer}}'' film: both are Wilford loyalists with strong Yorkshire accents who wear furs when they visit the Tail and contemptuously keep the Tailies in line with violence.

* LawfulEvil: She's obsessed with the train's order, feeling that order (specifically Wilford's order) is all they have left on the train - as such she's capable of great cruelty when enforcing said order.
* ALighterShadeOfBlack: To the Folgers and Grey during their revolution - she at least wants to follow Wilford's rules in transitioning power, while they rapidly slip into dictatorship.
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: When Grey and the Folgers suggest she join their coup and replace Melanie, she instead tries to reveal the plot to Melanie. She changes her mind when a stressed out Melanie lashes out at her over what she assumes is Ruth simply being the messenger for entitled griping by first class.

-->'''Martin:''' He mostly just stared at us coldly, which, I won't lie, is very effective.
* GeniusBruiser: He's an incredibly formidable hand to hand fighter and plots out the Jackboots battle strategies.
* HiddenDepths: Grey might be a sadistic animal, but he's far from a fool. He doesn't fall in line to kiss Wilford's ass, slyly pointing out that Wilford's speech "paraphrased" Winston Churchill. Later, he shows a softer aspect of his personality when flirting with Ruth Wardell.
* IcyBlueEyes: He has very sharp, focused blue eyes that highlight his cold-hearted personality.
* InformedAttribute: Supposedly he's a good tactician, but his approach to the Tailies' homemade ballista calls that into question. While flanking around behind is a good plan, he essentially throws his men directly at the weapon in the meantime to serve as a distraction. Keep in mind that this weapon has no capability to fire anywhere that isn't directly in front of it and the hall has ample cover along the walls.
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:The man who relished throwing people off the train to freeze to death is himself detached from the train and [[UncertainDoom presumably]] freezes to death]].
* TheStarscream: Tells Ruth they'll get rid of the Folgers after Layton is dead.
* WeHaveReserves: He has his men continue to charge the makeshift ballista the Tailies have set up in the maintenance tunnels while he takes a squad to circle above and flank them, even though it takes several failed charges for the Jackboots to finally outlast their ammunition supply.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Roche is an unsympathetic hardass, but he's still infuriated to discover that Oz has been dealing in drugs and sexual extortion. He's also the only one objecting to the Folgers and the Jackboots variously humiliating Layton when [[spoiler:the surrender happens]].
* HappilyMarried: His wife also survived the Freeze on the train (although not all of their children did) and he tells Layton in the first episode he would rather be spending time with her than wasting it on him.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Initially seems quite callously indifferent to the Tail's plight, and really doesn't get on with Layton at first. However, he's repeatedly shown to do the right thing throughout the series, [[spoiler:standing with Layton to get rid of Grey even at the cost of a serious beating]], and is much more open to [[spoiler:Layton's democratic way of leading]] compared to Ruth.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Layton convinces him to stand down when the real fighting breaks out, appealing to the loss of life that will happen and the train's need for surviving people who can provide order in the aftermath, no matter who wins.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: As it becomes apparent Jinju and Till's argument about supplying food is about to escalate into a nasty lover's argument, he immediately makes himself scarce.

!!Bess Till
->'''Portrayed By:''' Mickey Sumner
A thoughtful, empathetic, and savvy brakeman who is part of the train's security force. She finds herself at the center of a mystery that rocks the train's uneasy status quo.
----
* ButchLesbian: Even when out of uniform, she dresses very conservatively compared to the more glamourous Jinju.
* CategoryTraitor: Sides with the Tail after seeing Melanie's brutality first-hand.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: She was a rookie cop during the year that the freeze became inevitable and was there for a lot of the riots and breakdowns.
* DidNotGetTheGirl: Chooses her principles over her lover Jinju when she supports Layton. [[spoiler:It tanks their relationship in the final episode]].
* HeelFaceTurn: Gradually comes round to Layton's side after seeing Layton's fundamental decency - and then seeing him get stuck in the drawers by Melanie. By the last few episodes she's one of Layton's main lieutenants.
* TheLancer: She is by Layton's side when the revolution happens.
* OldCopYoungCop: The "young cop" to Layton during the mystery arc.
* RedOniBlueOni: As Layton's lieutenant, she's the Red to Audrey's Blue. She's notably more aggressive, favouring hitting the Jackboots before they regroup after the Night Car battle, where Audrey favours fortifying the cars they've taken.
* TheWatson: Plays this role to the more experienced Layton as they work together to find the SerialKiller. Different from the norm in that while Till eventually warms up to him, Layton doesn't trust her until she joins his cause wholeheartedly after [[spoiler:helping him escape from the Drawers]].

* AbusiveParents: Implies when he gets honest just after the train almost derails that his mother beat him badly when drunk - and was even worse sober.
* {{Blackmail}}: Towards Till when he [[spoiler:catches her releasing Layton]].
* DirtyCop: He's a brakeman, and corrupt to the core, moonlighting for Terence.
* DirtyCoward: The only brakeman to abandon Roche's blockade against the Taillies. While the others are openly relieved when Roche stands them down, none of them abandon their post the way Oz does.
* EvilBrit: One of the show's most unambiguously rotten characters, and retains his actor's natural British accent.
* ForTheEvulz: One of the few characters to prefer his new life on Snowpiercer over his pre-Freeze existence, he loves the power being a brakeman gives him. When he's extorting Till for [[spoiler:knocking him out to get Layton out the drawers]], his demands are basically "let me do whatever the hell I want and don't stop me".
* HiddenDepths: Shows a bit of fear and mutual comfort with Till when it looks like the train might be doomed.
* {{Jerkass}}: A smug asshole who abuses his power at every turn and is only out for himself.
* OddFriendship: In the finale ends up bonding with [[spoiler:L.J.]] of all people over the fact they're both universally hated.
* PetTheDog [[spoiler:Takes L.J. under his wing in the final episode, even being remarkably cool with her punching him in the face]].
* PoliceBrutality: A frequent practitioner, beating the shit out of Layton early on and later performing a GroinAttack on Walter to determine where the strike leaflets are coming from.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Is the first to abandon the Brakeman line when Layton and his army come calling, leading to their position being rendered untenable.
* SexualExtortion: He accepts blowjobs as payment for kronol.
* SportsHeroBackstory: Used to be a football midfielder before the Freeze. Even directly compares his beating up Layton to taking penalty kicks.

* GreaterScopeVillain: Of Season 1, as it was his decision to convert the ''Snowpiercer'' from a train meant to help humanity survive into a luxury train that wound up causing problem after problem for everyone aboard.
* TheGhost: Even though his name is on the train and he is played up to be the leader of ''Snowpiercer'', who keeps it running unseen by everybody, he is not actually aboard, as Melanie left him behind in Chicago to freeze to death. [[spoiler:Even in the Season 1 finale, when ''Big Alice'' catches up to ''Snowpiercer'', he still remains unseen.]]
* OopNorth: Retains Sean Bean's natural accent.
* TheRealRemingtonSteele: [[spoiler:Melanie reveals early on in the series that the society of Snowpiercer, hellish as it is, is the result of Wilford changing it from TheArk it was meant to be for the sake of profit -- which is why she left him behind to die and has been masquerading as him to try to prevent things from getting worse.

[[folder:Ruth]]
!!Ruth Wardell
->'''Portrayed By:''' Alison Wright
Melanie's ruthless assistant, who oversees taking people form the Tail or delivering demands to them, activities she seems to feel are beneath her.
----
* BrokenPedestal: A double one when it turns out Melanie has been lying to her the whole time and also claims that Mr. Wilford was a fraud.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He may or may not have been manipulating her into joining the revolution, but she's devastated by [[spoiler:Grey's death]] and repeatedly brings it up in the final episode.
* {{Expy}}: To Minister Mason from the ''Film/{{Snowpiercer}}'' film: both are Wilford loyalists with strong Yorkshire accents who wear furs when they visit the Tail and contemptuously keep the Tailies in line with violence.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: A former bed and breakfast owner before meeting Mr. Wilford and being hired by the train, and now one of the main figures behind its tyranny.
* JerkassHasAPoint:
** A lot of her other rantings are dubious at best, but she's dead right that Melanie gets to escape any consequences for her actions as she becomes an (official) engineer, while the rest of them have to deal with the fallout of her actions.
** Probably not intentionally, but when she shows up to welcome back [[spoiler:Mr Wilford]], Layton concedes that having her try diplomacy first is a good idea.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: [[spoiler:Already a borderline religious fanatic towards Wilford, she turns into an AxCrazy counter-revolutionary after learning that Wilford is not on the train.]]
* LawfulEvil: She's obsessed with the train's order, feeling that order (specifically Wilford's order) is all they have left on the train - as such she's capable of great cruelty when enforcing said order.
* ALighterShadeOfBlack: To the Folgers and Grey during their revolution - she at least wants to follow Wilford's rules in transitioning power, while they rapidly slip into dictatorship.
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: When Grey and the Folgers suggest she join their coup and replace Melanie, she instead tries to reveal the plot to Melanie. She changes her mind when a stressed out Melanie lashes out at her over what she assumes is Ruth simply being the messenger for entitled griping by first class.
* OopNorth: Ruth has a prominent Yorkshire accent.
* SanitySlippage: A combination of finding out [[spoiler:her idol has been dead for years, her best friend has been lying to her, her lover has been killed and being excluded from Layton's new governing council]] has her beginning to show serious cracks in the last episode.
* UndyingLoyalty: She's utterly devoted to Mr. Wilford and sees him as the savior of humanity. The truth breaks her. [[spoiler:When it turns out he is still alive and on another train, she desperately tries to get him back in charge.]]
* VillainousFriendship: She seems to sincerely be good pals with Melanie. [[spoiler:That, of course, all goes out the window after TheReveal that Mr. Wilford has never been on the train and Melanie is posing as him.]]

!!Commander Nolan Grey
->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/TimothyVMurphy
A brilliant tactician, hardened leader, and former Special Forces, British SAS who commanded men before the Freeze. He relishes keeping things in order and getting his hands dirty in combat.
----
* ArchEnemy: To Layton. They remember each other very well from the night Layton boarded; Grey was the one shoving people off the train.
* BloodKnight: Very obviously - is clearly having the time of his life hacking and maiming his way through the Night Car.
* DeathGlare: As befits someone with his grim personality.
-->'''Martin:''' He mostly just stared at us coldly, which, I won't lie, is very effective.
* GeniusBruiser: He's an incredibly formidable hand to hand fighter and plots out the Jackboots battle strategies.
* HiddenDepths: Grey might be a sadistic animal, but he's far from a fool. He doesn't fall in line to kiss Wilford's ass, slyly pointing out that Wilford's speech "paraphrased" Winston Churchill. Later, he shows a softer aspect of his personality when flirting with Ruth Wardell.
* IcyBlueEyes: He has very sharp, focused blue eyes that highlight his cold-hearted personality.
* InformedAttribute: Supposedly he's a good tactician, but his approach to the Tailies' homemade ballista calls that into question. While flanking around behind is a good plan, he essentially throws his men directly at the weapon in the meantime to serve as a distraction. Keep in mind that this weapon has no capability to fire anywhere that isn't directly in front of it and the hall has ample cover along the walls.
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:The man who relished throwing people off the train to freeze to death is himself detached from the train and [[UncertainDoom presumably]] freezes to death]].
* TheStarscream: Tells Ruth they'll get rid of the Folgers after Layton is dead.
* WeHaveReserves: He has his men continue to charge the makeshift ballista the Tailies have set up in the maintenance tunnels while he takes a squad to circle above and flank them, even though it takes several failed charges for the Jackboots to finally outlast their ammunition supply.
