----
* BrokenPedestal: Most likely reason as of why she is so obsessed with getting to Jack is her disappointment with someone who she looked up to but ended up as corrupt as anyone else around her.

A respectable if a bit eccentric Freeburg businessman on the surface, he's much more and much worse underneath it.
----
* AmbitionIsEvil: He's very ambitious and very amoral.
* BigBadEnsemble: Forms one with Mayor Rogers in the endgame.
* TheChessmaster: He's very cunning and plans far ahead in pursuit of his goals.
* TheCoup: Arranges a coup to depose Mayor Rogers and himself become the city mayor without elections through popular support and civil unrest. Because following laws and waiting for elections and running in them is for chumps.
* DudeWheresMyReward: Played as a deliberate insult: [[spoiler: after he becomes the new mayor and fires Jack, as a "reward" for what Jack has done for him he sends an envelope with a sum of money - a single dollar.]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: Polite and courteous at first, but dismissive after you are no longer of use to him.
* InspirationalMartyr: [[spoiler: Creates these out of several women previously raped my Mayor Rogers. He arranges the new Dentist to kill all these women and frame Rogers for arranging their deaths in order to build up dissent against him]].
* ItsAllAboutMe: Simply put, he's a megalomaniac. His sets his ambitions for ever higher positions of power and authority and flaunts laws, morals and lives of other people for no other reason that he wants to. Unfortunately for everyone, he's also smart and effective at achieving his goals.
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: Same as Rogers, he gets away with everything completely scot-free if you support him.]]
* MagnificentBastard: Very smart, with a sense of flair and an ego to match.
* TheManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler: He is the mastermind behind the new Dentist.]]
* PhantomThief: As "Robespierre".

A federal investigator and Jack's old friend from the academy days. When a notorious serial killer resurfaces in Freeburg Ethan arrives there to try and catch them.
----
* CIAEvilFBIGood: There's no CIA in the game but the latter part is played straight, as Ethan is an honest, well-meaning and non-corrupt character.
* {{Foil}}: To Jack. They come from the same origin, having attended the academy together and starting their friendship back then but not seeing each other in a while. Unlike Jack, Ethan had a more successful career, has a happy family life, and most importantly, never had to compromise his morals or dabble in corruption.
* JurisdictionFriction: His arrival creates this. The case of the Dentist is a federal affair, and so Jack is forbidden from investigating it himself, only providing clues and assistance to federals when needed. You will have to break the law if you want to catch the Dentist yourself.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He has only one scene in the second game but it marks a very important milestone in the narrative. Ethan refuses to listen to Jack's earnest plea for help and displays no sympathy towards him, Jack finally snaps for good and abandons the last of his morals as there is now definitely no way back for him.
A notorious serial killer that never got caught. He was thought to have stopped killing, but now resurfaces in Freeburg, and for some reason he has some interest in Jack.
----
* CallingCard: Got his name for drilling holes in his dead victims' teeth after strangling them.
* CriminalMindGames: Offers to play one with Jack and only with Jack. He will send you letters with cryptic hints on his plans and how to catch him - if you (or one of your cops) go to federals with his letters he will cut off his contact.
* InspirationalMartyr: [[spoiler: The new Dentist's victims were all women previously raped by Mayor Rogers. When Chaffee could not convince them to testify against Rogers in his favour he arranged for the new Dentist to kill them and create trope out of them.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: The original Dentist had a change of heart after a successful therapy and stopped killing. He peacefully died before the game even started.]]

* ThereAreNoTherapists: Averted. [[spoiler: The original Dentist was convinced to stop killing by a therapist.]]
A private detective. In the first game Jack hires him to try and find his wife. He also has a prominent part in the sequel.
----
* AlmightyJanitor: A mere private eye, he can throw federal investigators off Jack's trail in the second game.
* FatalFlaw: Greed. [[spoiler: Jack tempts him with a large sum of money to provide himself a lasting fake documents, before luring him to his death.]]
* HeKnowsTooMuch: [[spoiler: Jack arranges to have him killed in the end of the second game.]]
* KnowsAGuyWhoKnowsAGuy: How he manages to keep federals away from Jack - he has friends in the ministry.
* PornStache: Has one.
* PrivateDetective: He's not perfect and can appear sleazy, but he's quite good. In the first game he manages to find a trail of Jack's wife, and in the second he's shown to have enough clout to buy off people on Jack's trail after he gets onto a federal wanted list.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler: If you refuse his request, he and his family will be killed, their heads cut off and put on a candelabra.]]
* CorruptCop: And unfortunately, a very obvious one. His in-game problems start because he's no use to the mob as a mole, since everybody knows he's corrupt.
* IHaveYourWife: The mob takes his family hostage, giving him one hour to find a replacement mole for them.
* RegretfulTraitor: By now he hates being a corrupt cop, but can't do anything about it because [[ResignationsNotAccepted the mob won't let him out alive - unless he can find a replacement.]]
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: Tries to just skip town with his family but unfortunately the mob finds out, worsening his predicament.
* YourDaysAreNumbered: He has days before being fired. Unfortunately, the mob does not want to lose such a useful asset, so unless he manages to provide them with a replacement till then he will not only be fired but dead too.

* ProtagonistJourneyToVillain: The first game starts with Jack as an honest police chief and sees him descend into corruption as his life falls apart. This trend continues with the second game and by ''Rebel Cops'', he's turned the Sharpwood Police Force into little more than another gang, even going so far as to [[spoiler: murder the good remnant of Ripton's Police Force in order to cover up his involvement in a gang war with their local mobster.]]

* AntiVillain: A police officer forced into siding with corrupt politicians and the mafia. Despite the horrible things he does, he still genuinely wants to help stop the crime in the city.
* ButtMonkey: Nothing goes right for Boyd. In just the first act of the game, his wife leaves him for a much younger man, he's forced into retirement, he's blackmailed into working for the mafia as well as being a pawn for both the criminal organisations in Freeberg and the corrupt mayor. Things get worse from there.
* CorruptCop: Becomes one through the course of the first game. Fits this trope to a T in the second one.
* DeadpanSnarker: Boyd is one snarky motherfucker. Almost all his internal thoughts are some pointed comment at the situation he is facing.
* DeconstructedTrope: Of the corrupt cop. There's nothing glamorous about what Boyd is doing and his descent into corruption hurts everyone around him, while bringing nothing but suffering to him.
* FallenHero: By the end of the second game, it's hard to remember that Boyd started off as a law-abiding and honest police chief.
