* {{Hypocrite}}: He's blasted subordinates for disobeying orders, but then done so himself. He also shot Mac's killer within minutes of talking Novin out of doing it.

On a milder note, during a bar fight, he invokes "[[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marquess_of_Queensberry_Rules Queensberry Rules]]" with his opponent (in other words, "let's fight fair"), then violates them two seconds later so that he can knock the guy out.

!!Colonel Alexander Coltrane
Played by: Creator/JamieBamber

* AntiHero: He's technically a good guy, but he can be downright ruthless.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: He misjudged a situation, resulting in the deaths of the men in his command. He responded by developing a drinking problem and getting out of the field.
* {{Expy}}: He's described as "What if Franchise/JamesBond became "M"?", though he's seen out in the field along with his team more often than not.
* {{Fanservice}}: Being played by Jamie Bamber guarantees him at least one ShirtlessScene, making it quite clear that Bamber is a very handsome man, and still sporting the "Bamberceps", as his arms were dubbed during his ''BSG'' days. Zarkova lampshades this by deliberately gushing about him:
--> '''Zarkova''': ''(to Novin)'' "You've seen his cheekbones, his tight little butt, his strong arms, really strong arms. . ."
--> '''Novin''': "All ''right''."
* {{Hypocrite}}: He's blasted subordinates for disobeying orders, but then done so himself. He also shot Mac's killer within minutes of talking Novin out of doing it.
* ImprobableAge: His backstory includes an especially traumatic mission as a lieutenant in the Balkans in 1992. At that time, his portrayer would only have been 19 and couldn't possibly have been ranked that high.
* InformedFlaw: [=McAllister=] reveals to the team that he's an [[TheAlcoholic an alcoholic]] and a ShellShockedVeteran (after he misjudged a situation and got his team killed), but neither of those tropes is very evident. He's even seen ordering whiskey in a bar at one point, even though most alcoholics shun any kind of liquor upon recovery.
