History Characters / TheFastAndTheFuriousCipher

** [[spoiler: In [=F9=], she takes over Otto's drone and flies it to the transport which Dom is on, firing missiles on it. At first she thinks she's got him, only to realize he steered it in a way that the truck will flip right into her drone's path. She lets out a ''Shit!" right before it hits.]]

* RedAndBlackandEvilAllOver: In ''F9'', she wears a red, leather jumpsuit with matching high heels and a black tanktop.

* NonActionBigBad: Cipher usually has people to handle all the fighting for her while she focuses on coming up with diabolical plans. [[spoiler:{{Subverted}} in X, where she’s more than capable of fighting people on her own, though by then she loses her BigBad status to Dante]].

* UnderestimatingBadassery: Zigged-zagged. She knows Dom is formidable [[spoiler:due to him taking down Owen and Jakota, two men that were in her employ]]. So rather then try and confront him, she manipulates him into working for her [[spoiler: via holding his former lover and son hostage]]. It does nearly work for the most part, but as she got closer to her goal, Cipher got too cocky near the endgame [[spoiler:that she didn't realize Dom had set a plan in motion to have his son saved by Deckard and Owen while his team handled her plan. Once that leverage was taken away, she was forced to fight Dom directly. Predictably, her plan gets shot to Hell in a matter of seconds and she's left running with her tail between her legs.]]

* TheCorrupter: She manipulates and drives heroes like Dom [[spoiler: and both Shaw Brothers]] into villainy.

* LackOfEmpathy: Cheerfully refers to bonds of familial love as chemical responses for species preservation, and with smug pride candidly admits her lack of respect for such emotions allows her to play ''actual'' human beings like puppets. This comes back to haunt her in a ''big'' way during ''Fast X'' when Dante waltzes and threatens her subordinates to work for him instead by holding all their loved ones hostage (killing the one man who "dosen't even have a cat"); having ''no'' actual respect or loyalty to a BadBoss (who dosen't trust them either in return), they turned on her in a heartbeat.

!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/FastAndFurious6''

Shaw's team assassin, an Asian martial artist.
----

* KnightOfCerebus: Easily the greatest threat Dom and his family has faced.

* BadassBookworm: It turns out that Cipher is skilled martial artist who can take down a dozen men ''twice'' her size with her bare hands if they do not have the advantage of firearms. Made worse by the fact that her sociopathy allows her to resort to savage and vicious tricks like biting, tearing and ''eye gouging'' that ''actual'' human beings would wince and hesitate to use.

* AxCrazy: She may not do it physically, but she is definitely the epitome of this.

* LackOfEmpathy: Cheerfully refers to bonds of familial love as chemical responses for species preservation, and with smug pride candidly admits her lack of respect for such emotions allows her to play ''actual'' human beings like puppets.

* LackOfEmpathy: Cares only for himself and states to Dom that his family is his weakness since he thinks that makes Dom predictable and easy to handle. [[spoiler: Oh how wrong he was and he no longer views it as his weakness in 8.]]

* TheSociopath: Has every hallmark of one. [[LackOfEmpathy People who aren't useful to him aren't even human, and only interesting resources at best if they are somehow useful]]. He emotionlessly admits an [[BadBoss utter lack of respect, much less sadness for comrades who fall in battle]], as they're clearly too incompetent to be useful; and that's if you're loyal to him. Most disturbing of all, he [[AxCrazy takes a practically boyish glee in running over and crushing innocent civilians when in command of a tank.]] Shaw's perhaps ''the'' single most evil character in the franchise up to Episode 6…until he is thoroughly dethroned by the thoroughly ''inhuman'' Cipher in Episode 8.

--> '''Shaw:''' Tonight, these common criminals were seconds away from taking us down. Show them the respect they deserve or it weakens us.
* VillainousValor: Owen may be mortal foes with Dom, but he does respect the fact that Dom has a code by which he lives, which is why he offers Dom a chance to leave no strings attached. Of course, he's also seems not to realize that Dom's code is exactly why he ''won't'' leave under any circumstance.

!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/JohnCena, Creator/FinnCole (young)
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/{{F9}}'' | ''Film/FastX''

->''"You know the only good thing to come from Dad dying? If he hadn’t, I’d have spent my entire life in your shadow. And now you’re gonna spend the rest of yours living in mine."''

Dom and Mia's estranged brother. Described as a master thief, assassin and high-performance driver.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Described as having always pushed himself to be faster, smarter and stronger than Dom.
* TheBigGuy: He's played by John Cena, who's slightly taller than and more ripped than Vin Diesel.
* BigLittleBrother: He is bigger and taller than his older brother, Dom.
* BlackSheep: Of the Toretto family.
* {{Bookends}}: Years ago, Dom told him to drive and never look back, as punishment for allowing their father to die. [[spoiler:At the end of ''[=F9=]'', Dom tells him to drive and never look back, not out of spite, but as a genuine advice, because he will face tough times ahead as a wanted terrorist.]]
* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Dom's Abel, having planned for some time to kill his older brother.
* CoDragons: Is Otto's right hand man alongside Sue, until his employer makes the bad decision to cross him.
* CoolUncle: [[spoiler: To his nephew Brian, Dom’s son, as of ''Fast X''. In the trailers, they can be seen riding together having a blast]].
* DarkSecret: [[spoiler:His father told him to sabotage his car to throw the race. He was heavily in debt and needed the money. He made Jakob swear to never tell Dom about this, which is why Jakob never contradicted Dom's argument.]]
* DragonInChief: Serves as the main muscle for Otto and does most of the legwork to the point where the two are almost [[BigBadDuumvirate of equal standing.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes:
** He and Mia are a lot more cordial and understanding with each other.
** Despite his resentment towards him Jakob was still upset by his father's death and honored his promise to not tell Dom the real circumstances behind it when doing so would have saved him alot of trouble.
* TheExile: After finding out that he had a hand in causing their father's death, Dom banished him from the Toretto residence. He lived with a family friend and stayed in touch with Mia for a year, but eventually took off and never looked back.
* TheHeavy: While Otto [[spoiler: [[HijackedByGanon and later Cipher]]]] serve as the [[BigBadDuumvirate primary threats]], Jakob is the physical conflict driver for the majority of the film [[spoiler: until his [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness betrayal]] and subsequential [[HeelFaceTurn defection]]]].
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Otto is convinced by Cipher to betray Jakob, who is then saved by Mia and allowed to get away in a car by Dom, who has chosen to let go of his rage towards him. While driving away, he overhears from Dom that Dom is going to attempt a dangerous stunt to stop Otto's truck, so he comes back to help Dom.]]
* HeroicSacrifice:[[spoiler:Seemingly sacrifices his life so Dom can go after Dante and save Little B. Then again considering what kind of franchise this is, it's almost certain that he survived.]]
* HollywoodGenetics: Jakob's siblings Dom and Mia are AmbiguouslyBrown and played by mixed-race actors. John Cena, on the other hand, is very white, and has blue eyes in contrast to their brown. Since their father, Jack, is played by a brown-skinned Latino actor, the implication is that Jakob inherited his look from their unknown and unmentioned mother. This is lampshaded by Cipher, who, upon reading about the Toretto family's ancestry, is surprised to see that they have Nordic genes, and Queenie is shocked to learn Dom and Jakob are brothers.[[note]]As a side note, while Toretto is an Italian surname, of of the actors playing the Toretto siblings, only Cena has a confirmed Italian ancestry (Cena is an Italian surname).[[/note]]
* IJustWantToBeLoved: Buddy points out that all Jakob wanted was to have a family and friends who cared for him, especially after their father died, but [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Dom denied that when he banished him from home]].
* IllKillYou: Says so to [[spoiler:Otto, after he betrays him by freeing Cipher]].
* OlderHeroVsYoungerVillain: The Younger Villain opposite Dom's Older Hero, both in-character (where Jakob is Dom's little brother) and in terms of their actors (Cena is ten years younger than Diesel).
* PoorCommunicationKills: [[spoiler:It is revealed that Jakob helped Jack to throw the fateful race so the family could receive compensation, because the family was in a great debt. Jack told Jakob not to tell Dom under any circumstances, as he knew that Dom would object. Had he told him about this, a lot of the tragedies involving the brothers would not have happened.]]
* RedemptionEqualsAffliction: [[spoiler:He decides to switch sides and helps Dom bring down Cipher and Project Ares. However, this doesn't change the fact that he is still an international terrorist, which means he will face a rough life ahead. He only manages to share a small moment of understanding with Dom and Mia before driving away.]]
* RememberTheNewGuy: You'd ''think'' Dom having a super-criminal brother would have come up at some point before, but nope. [[spoiler:It's because Jakob and Dom were on terrible terms. Dom blamed Jakob for their father's death, even exiling him from the family, and Jakob never argued against this as Jack prohibits Jakob from speaking of it.]] Roman lampshades this, stating that he can't believe that he has known Dom for so long and yet never even heard that he has a brother, much less one who is a criminal.

----

* CapturedSuperEntity: In a way. Upon capturing her from Mr. Nobody, Jakob forces her to work with a primitive computer inside a glass cage, because he knows full well that she will royally screw everyone if allowed to roam free and access a device with an internet. [[spoiler:Proven right when Otto deliberately sets her free, as she immediately takes over the Project Ares operation.]]

* GreaterScopeVillain: Of the entire '' The Fast and the Furious'' series, especially the third, fourth, sixth, seventh, and ninth movies, as she was the one who employed [[spoiler:Owen Shaw [[note]] which led to his confrontations with Dom leading to his coma causing his brother to seek vengeance starting by killing Han in Tokyo[[/note]](and by extension Arturo Braga) and Mose Jakande to steal the Nightshade device and acquire the God's Eye]], respectively.

* HijackedByGanon: In ''F9'', it appears that Otto is the main villain with Jakob working under him. [[spoiler: Then Otto reveals he released Cipher from prison and turns on Jakob, and Cipher takes over as the BigBad.]]
