*ButtMonkey: All the boys have their share of getting their asses handed to them in the videos, but poor Troy tends to get the worst of it, having been killed and dragged out into his own car, slicing his face off with a razor blade, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking having his best friendship with Joseph rejected for Tim]] (who moved in with Joseph instead).
*TheLeader: Seems to have fallen into this by default of him being the reason for the group's conception and the creator of the channel (having it named after him, after all), though he notably isn't the lead actor or host in everything on the channel.

Troy's best friend, who was roped into ''Marble Hornets'' as an aside and went on to play a big role in the production and performance of the show. Despite having a background in music performance (he plays trumpet), Joseph is now a dedicated member of the THAC team, where he acts, writes, produces and edits. He likes {{Franchise/Pokemon}}, and despite staring in a horror series, is easily scared himself, epitomized in a side-show he occasionally streams on the channel called 'Wimpsday With Joseph.'

*ActorAllusion: An entire episode is dedicated to making musical instruments out of household objects. He demonstrates with a trumpet. Joseph [=DeLage=] is in fact a trumpet player.
*AndThatsTerrible: When making a trumpet out of vegetables, you better make sure the vegetable you're using is cylindrical and not conical, otherwise you'll look like a jackass, at least according to Hankinson.
*Cloudcuckoolander: Though in a rare break from the other alter-ego characters, [[TheCuckoolanderWasRight sometimes what he says is ''right'']].
*CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Though he seems just as loony as the channel's other alter-ego characters, Hankinson's ramblings seem to be backed up. The THAC crew stated during one of their podcasts that they believe he could secretly be the smartest out of the four of them.
*DeepSouth: Invokes this with his accent, personality, and stereotypical association with being a handyman.
*TranquilFury: His tone falters slightly when he specifies that he is a man in spite of what his ex-wife says, but only slightly. His expression, on the other hand, is unflattering.

*JackAss: The biggest out of the four THAC boy's alter ego characters.
*KnowNothingKnowItAll: Hosts an astronomy show that presents absolutely no factual scientific information, yet acts like what he says is gospel. The THAC team have described him as being borderline wilfully ignorant, essentially spouting his own rhetoric to spite more famous and successful astronomers. He is also firm believer in pseudo-science and holistic medicine.
*SmallNameBigEgo: His defining character trait along with KnowNothingKnowItAll.
*StylisticSuck: His videos are done in the format of a crappy 80's science show, complete with VHS quality and visual tears. He also has a blatantly terrible bluescreen.

Despite this, he struggles to film his show, considering security won't let him bring his tools into the studio, for some undisclosed reason.
->Played by: Joseph [=DeLage=]
----
*ActionSurvivor: Survives getting assault by a man with nunchucks.
*ActorAllusion: An entire episode is dedicated to making musical instruments out of household objects. He demonstrates with a trumpet. Joseph [=DeLage=] is in fact a trumpet player.
*AndThatsTerrible: When making a trumpet out of vegetables, you better make sure the vegetable you're using is cylindrical and not conical, otherwise you'll look like a jackass, at least according to Hankinson.
*Cloudcuckoolander: Though in a rare break from the other alter-ego characters, [[TheCuckoolanderWasRight sometimes what he says is ''right'']].
*CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Though he seems just as loony as the channel's other alter-ego characters, Hankinson's ramblings seem to be backed up. The THAC crew stated during one of their podcasts that they believe he could secretly be the smartest out of the four of them.
*DeepSouth: Invokes this with his accent, personality, and stereotypical association with being a handyman.
*TranquilFury: His tone falters slightly when he specifies that he is a man in spite of what his ex-wife says, but only slightly. His expression, on the other hand, is unflattering.
!!Morningstar Sinclair
->"You wanna do it instead? Do you think you're ready for that responsibility? This show goes out to 10,000 homes every f***in' week, you think you're ready for that? Space Time express with f***in' Louis...whatever, what's your last name? Actually, forget it. Bring my f***in' blood pressure medication, I can barely stand to look at you."
Host of public-access astronomy show ''Space Time Express'', Morningstar Sinclair is an insufferable astronomer and aspiring health food and supplement designer. A firm believer in pseudo-science, the information about space he gives on his show is...questionable, to say the least.
->Played by: Tim Sutton
----
*BadBoss: Louis, the poor guy behind the camera, cops a lot of flack from him, culminating in him getting flat-out assaulted by Sinclair in episode 5, causing him to leave.
*BunglingInventor: Seems to be trying to break into the health and supplement industry on the side of his show. He doesn't seem to be doing well though.
*JackAss: The biggest out of the four THAC boy's alter ego characters.
*KnowNothingKnowItAll: Hosts an astronomy show that presents absolutely no factual scientific information, yet acts like what he says is gospel. The THAC team have described him as being borderline wilfully ignorant, essentially spouting his own rhetoric to spite more famous and successful astronomers. He is also firm believer in pseudo-science and holistic medicine.
*SmallNameBigEgo: His defining character trait along with KnowNothingKnowItAll.
*StylisticSuck: His videos are done in the format of a crappy 80's science show, complete with VHS quality and visual tears. He also has a blatantly terrible bluescreen.
*TooMuchInformation: In the second episode, he's having some sort of disgusting health smoothie. He tells his assistant it's because he's had trouble staying regular for a month.
!!Computer Jym
->"Computer Jym! I love you! Stay safe! The internet is a '''shithole!!!'''"
All the way from Cybo Computer Land - the world of the future - Computer Jym has come to teach us about the dangers of the internet and how to protect yourself from them.
->Played by: Noah Scammon
-----
*AddedAlliterativeAppeal: The first lesson in his second video, which he titles 'laser lessons.' In the same video, he later shows is 'Processor Product Palace', in which he sells his 'Many Many Money Maker.'
*CounterfeitCash: In his second video, he sells his 'Many Many Money Maker,' which is awfully suspect. Of course, he's from the future, so it could be legit where he comes from.
*TheFuture: Apparently comes from it, which is why he knows all about how to protect yourself from the dangers of the internet.
*IncrediblyLamePun: This gem from the second episode:
-->''I'm here to fill up your ports with the compu-info knowledge... [[DontExplainTheJoke or 'common knowledge!']]
*{{Infomercial}}: His videos have this feel. The first one even finishes complete with an infomercial-style end card.
*NiceGuy: Despite his blatant ignorance in all things technologically-related and SnakeOilSalesmen pitches, Noah describes Jym as a benevolent if over-enthusiastic dude who genuinely wants to protect people from the dangers of the internet.
*NinjaPirateZombieRobot: 'I mean, what do I know? I'm just a space warrior from the future...WHO CAN PRINT MONEY!'
*SigningOffCatchPhrase: 'Computer Jym! I love you! Stay safe!'
*SnakeOilSalesman: All his videos usually end in sales pitches of questionably authentic products.
*StylisticSuck: As with his THAC alter ego compadres, his videos are made to look intentionally dodgy. In Jym's case, they look like something straight out of a terrible instructional VHS with an 80's neon future-inspired aesthetic. Noah has stated such videos were the inspiration for the character in the first place.
*TechnoBabble: If this trope had a physical form, it would be Computer Jym. Slightly subverted in that a lot of the terminology he uses is actually real, [[YouKeepUsingThatWord he just ''violently' misuses it]].
*YouKeepUsingThatWord: It's pretty obvious that his first video is more than just an animated gif, amongst other blatant misuses of computer-related terminology.
