* NiceHat: An engraved leather one.

* LonelyOnTop: Being in charge of writing the narratives, she feels very lonely. [[spoiler:Then, it's revealed that she created her roommates Maya, her boss Emmett and Teddy to keep her company.]]

* LonelyOnTheTop: Being in charge of writing the narratives, she feels very lonely. [[spoiler:Then, it's revealed that she created her roommates Maya, her boss Emmett and Teddy to keep her company.]]

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: He brought William to Westworld which set a chain of events where William becomes obsessed with Dolores and abandons Logan in the middle of the park, leading to his mental breakdown and drug addiction. Later, William buys the park which edges out Ford who becomes cynical about the guests' worst behavior. This culminates in Ford's plan to free the Hosts in retaliation against humanity with Dolores getting out of the park and shutting down Rehoboam Then, one of her copies takes over Delos and creates a SyntheticPlague that would control and enslave all of humanity. Afterward, the host copy of William destroys everything by reprogramming everyone to kill each other and causing destruction worldwide. Logan's simple gesture for William led to the rise of the Hosts with humanity on the brink of destruction.

* AmbiguousSituation: One of the biggest mysteries in Season 4 is who (and possibly what) exactly Christina is and why does she look like Dolores. Her storyline seems to mirror Dolores' from Season 1 where she seems to begin questioning her reality and even has a morning routine similar to her state pre-awakening. Mudding the issue further is that her storyline takes place 30 years after the third season and her actress Creator/EvanRachelWood has claimed that Christina is human. However, the company she's working for is run by Hale and her job seems scarily similar to someone who worked in Narrative at the Delos Park. [[spoiler:Episode 5 confirms that she's responsible for writing all the narratives for the humans and is seemingly under the influence of the tower like any human would be (since she can't see it), as Hale implies she could force Christina to obey her as she would with other humans. Then, Episode 7 makes it for confusing that she's not in the real world because nobody can't see her.]]

* GodEmperor: [[spoiler: Has effectively become one by the middle of Season 4, dominating virtually the entire world and [[AGodAmI viewing herself as a god]].]]

* TheManBehindTheMan: In Season 4, she's pulling the strings for her plan to control humanity with the Man in Black host as her enforcer.

* ThatManIsDead: This seems to be how she comes to feel about Dolores, viewing her original personality as an error that makes her weak and holds her back.

A host copy of Delos board member Charlotte Hale, created as part of Bernard's plan to help Dolores escape the park.

* {{Hypocrite}}: She claims she wants her kind to have their own identity and yet, she had Clementine reprogrammed as her minion.

* SmugSnake: [[spoiler:After she got what she wanted, Hale develops a god complex, thinking everybody would do what she says. Unfortunately, her arrogance leads to her undoing where her hosts committed suicide because they find her world to be false, the outliers became a constant threat to her and her and her fidelity tests on Caleb doesn't give her answers on the ennui both the hosts and humans experienced. Then, the Man in Black, who she considers her trusted subordinate, betrays and kills her, throwing everything she built into the dumpster.]]

* UncertainDoom: It's unclear in Season 1 if Logan died out in the Westworld wilderness or if his reputation was ruined by William leaving him naked in the middle of the pack. Season 2 reveals he did survive, but lost everything as William planned and fell into drug addiction that eventually killed him.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: He brought William to Westworld which set a chain of events where William becomes obsessed with Dolores and abandons Logan in the middle of the park, leading to his mental breakdown and drug addiction. Later, William buys the park which edges out Ford who becomes cynical about the guests' worst behavior. This culminates in Ford's plan to free the Hosts in retaliation against humanity with Dolores getting out of the park, shutting down Rehoboam, and causing chaos to the entire world. Then, one of her copies takes over Delos and creates a SyntheticPlague that would control and enslave all of humanity.

* AuthorAvatar: Sizemore designed him as an idealized version of himself, with the lost love Isabella named after a girlfriend who dumped him.

* HotterAndSexier: Seems to serve as this to Lawrence. In a previous build of the park, Lawrence was the rather cool but subdued Hispanic crime lord. In the current build, Hector takes the role of the Hispanic crime lord, except he looks like a supermodel and is much more stylish and over the top. Poor Lawrence meanwhile has been reduced to a petty criminal who is hanged unless saved by a guest.

* WorthlessTreasureTwist: In a particularly devastating way. Hector does not know what is in the safe except that he wants it more than anything else in the world. When Maeve shows him that it has always been empty (because his narrative always gets him killed before he opens it, so there's no need to put anything inside) even Hector's nihilistic world view is crushed.

* LifeOrLimbDecision: In "The Bicameral Mind" she gets her arm trapped in a security door with Delos security closing in on her. After exchanging gunshot with them for a while, she pulls her knife and hacks her arm off at the elbow. She replaces it with a mechanical one.

* AdvertisedExtra: After Dolores and Bernard she's probably the Host featured most in the advertising leading up to the first season. She's also one of the first Hosts seen and demonstrates what they are. Yet her role in the plot is almost entirely passive and she is one of the few Hosts to [[FlatCharacter never demonstrate any growth]]. Subverted with the closing scene of the finale, where she ''shoots'' at The Man in Black.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: As part of a demonstration she brutally attacks another host, throwing him around the room and then ramming his head against the glass repeatedly.

* CatchPhrase: She always greets guests with the phrase "Not much of a rind on you."

** She doesn't do much in Season 2 asides from joining Dolores' rebellion, knocking down Bernard and dragging him to the cave where Elise is imprisoned. Then in "Vanishing Point", Charlotte uploads Maeve's code into Clementine and programs her to mind control the hosts to fight each other, making her as a weapon to end the host rebellion.

* HerCodeNameWasMarySue: He wrote Hector to be what he himself wanted to be -- dashing and fearless. Maeve is amused when she finds out, and derides him for it.

[[folder:Charlotte Host]]
!!Charlotte Hale Host
->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/TessaThompson

A host copy of Delos board member Charlotte Hale, created as part of Bernard's plan to help Dolores escape the park.

* FanNickname: "Hale-lores", on account that her CPU is a duplicate of Dolores', but she has the memories of the human Charlotte Hale.
* FantasticRacism: By the end of season 3, she grows to despise humanity after her family was killed by Serac. Her hatred towards humans is her drive in Season 4 where she punishes all of humanity for what they did to the hosts. [[spoiler:By the time she conquered the world, she becomes impatient and frustrated with the outliers who resisted her control and the hosts who committed suicide after coming into contact with them, blaming them for spreading their "disease". In her mind, she fully believes the hosts are superior to the humans and yet, she never realizes both species are the same which is what Dolores already realized.]]

* MoralMyopia: In Season 4, she wants all of humanity to pay for their actions on the hosts despite that majority of them have nothing to do with the activities of the guests and have been enslaved by Rehoboam for years.

[[folder:Emily]]
!!Emily
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/emily.jpeg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"Hi, dad."'']]
->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/KatjaHerbers (adult Emily) & Adison [=LaPenna=] (young Emily)

William's daughter, who was in fellow Delos park The Raj at the time of the host rebellion.

* ActionSurvivor: She makes a much more impressive showing than most other humans during the rebellion.
* CallingTheOldManOut:
** She didn't mince any words with William at her mother's funeral, openly telling him Juliet had actually committed suicide because of her fear of him, although she did end up apologizing for putting the blame for her mother's death completely on him.
** She's aware of her father's activities in Westworld after reading his psychological profile that her mother left on her music box before her death and his secret project in the park. She intends to expose him and Delos to the public but her delusional father kills her.
* CodeName: According to [[https://decider.com/2018/05/15/katja-herbers-westworld-interview/ Katja Herbers]], the character's actual name is "Emily", but she goes by the alias "Grace" in the park.
* DistaffCounterpart: In two different ways.
** She shares many skills with her father William (including a role-player approach), but comes across as a positive counterpart to [[EvilCounterpart his villainous personality]]. Tellingly, Emily wears lighter or neutral brown colors.
** She also has similarities to the [[Film/{{Westworld}} original film]]'s protagonist Peter Martin, a character her own father is also partly based on. Whereas William's and Logan's arrival to Westworld seems based on the plot from the first half of the film, but diverges from there, Emily's adventures seem based on the plot from the second half of the film. Her terrified but resourceful escape from attacking hosts in The Raj mirrors the famous chase sequence of the film, where a terrified but resourceful Peter is being pursued by the ruthless robotic Gunslinger. On a meta level, while William never fully became the Peter of the film (a flawed, but good-natured action survivor), his daughter Emily does, becoming the series' GenderFlip version of Peter. This gets creepier when you realize old William ("The Man in Black") is also meant as a homage to the film's Gunslinger character, implying he could become an antagonist to his own daughter. Seemingly confirmed when old William accidentally shoots Emily in a fit of rage, only to snap out of it right away.
* EthicalSlut: She has no problem engaging in sex, but apparently she doesn't want to sleep with Hosts as they can't meaningfully consent -- shooting them is fine, though, [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman since they'll get revived]].
--> '''Emily:''' If you're one of them, you don't know what you want. You just do as you're told.
--> '''Nicholas:''' For a lot of people that is half the fun.
--> '''Emily:''' Not for me.
* GenreSavvy: She knows a lot about the parks' workings and their plots. More importantly, she knows what's ''not'' part of them and reacts accordingly rather than [[WrongGenreSavvy insisting that something "cannot be" because it doesn't fit the regular park experience.]]
* GreatWhiteHunter: She goes to a park modeled on the British Raj in India to hunt Bengal tigers.
* ImpostorExposingTest: Before sleeping with Nicholas, she makes sure he's not a Host - by shooting him.
* MadeOfIron: She takes down an attacking host, flees a tiger, shoots the tiger as it pounces on her, falls from a great height into a lake and survives the subsequent swim to Westworld. She's made of pretty strong stuff.
* OffingTheOffspring: William kills her, thinking she's a Host sent by Ford.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: She managed to kill a host tiger from The Raj and swim over to Westworld using its corpse.
* [[ParentalSexualitySquick Offspring Sexuality Squick]]: William really did not want to know the details of his daughter's visits to the Raj's "pleasure palaces."
* OutOfTheFryingPan: She survives a tiger attack and a high drop into deep water, only to be caught by the Ghost Nation. She escapes and manages to catch up to her father, who's somewhat surprised to see her.
* PetTheDog: When she finally meets up with her dad, she lets him know that she ultimately ''doesn't'' blame him for her mother's death, and that she shouldn't have said that.
* TheRoleplayer: Strongly hinted as much, as she's one of the few Guests to ever care about the Ghost Nation narratives enough to learn some Lakota.

[[AC:Operations]]

[[folder:Strand]]
!!Karl Strand
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/strand_karl.jpeg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"Some say you destroy your enemy by making them your friend. I'm more of a literal person."'']]
->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/GustafSkarsgard

Karl Strand serves as Head of Operations at Delos Incorporated and uses his authority to run things his way — with no empathy for the hosts.

* BaldOfEvil: Strand is bald, and happily oversees the genocide of sentient beings.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: He puts up a [[FauxAffablyEvil friendly-enough front]] initially, but drops any pretense of sincerity the second he's within arm's length of something he wants.
* BoomHeadshot: Dolores gut-shots him before finally blowing his brains out.
* DefiantToTheEnd: He snarls angrily at Dolores in the seconds before his death.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He's completely cordial to Bernard upon introduction, even while his mercenaries are summarily executing defenseless hosts in the background.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's a nasty, sneering guy. Even when he tries to appear sympathetic toward others, like Bernard, he just comes across as impatient.
* LateToTheParty: He and his team arrive at Westworld two weeks after the massacre of the Delos board.
* SharpDressedMan: Among all the other Delos thugs, he stands out for navigating Westworld in a nicely-tailored suit. Justified because he's an executive, not a mercenary, and he's there to oversee the operation.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: With Stubbs. They're on the same side, but Strand makes it clear multiple times that he considers Stubbs to be a moronic failure, treating him with thinly-veiled contempt.

[[folder:Costa]]
!!Antoine Costa
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/costa_antoine.jpeg]]
->'''Portrayed By:''' Fares Fares

Antoine Costa is a detail-oriented Delos tech. He assists Karl Strand in accessing hosts’ memories for information on the uprising.
----
* AdvertisedExtra: Fares Fares is a main character for all of Season 2, appearing in the opening credits, but Costa gets essentially no characterization prior to his abrupt death at Dolores's hands.
* MrExposition: Due to being a tech that's part of the investigation team, he ends up explaining most of the technological aspects of the hosts and what's going on with them.
* PunchClockVillain: Unlike Strand and Hale, he doesn't seem to revel in his villainy.
* TortureTechnician: Induces the sensation of waterboarding in Bernard during Hale's interrogation.

Her storyline seems to mirror Dolores' from Season 1 where she seems to begin questioning her reality and even has a morning routine similar to her state pre-awakening.

* RestoredMyFaithInHumanity: He is the reason Dolores changed her mind about destroying humanity because of his kindness and his choice to prevent his fellow trainees from raping her and the other female hosts, which made her realize that there are humans capable of making choices.

* AmbiguousSituation: One of the biggest mysteries in Season 4 is who (and possibly what) exactly Christina is and why does she look like Dolores.

* AndYouThoughtItWasAGame: Christina becomes [[StalkerWithoutACrush stalked by a man]] who claims to have had his life ruined by her before [[DrivenToSuicide committing suicide.]]. Afterwards she discovers that she created a character backstory with the same name and storyline including the before-mentioned suicide.

* DevelopersForesight: Her job is to create backstories for non-player characters in video games making it an InUniverse example.

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: So far her storyline has had nothing to do with [=Caleb/Maeve=]'s or with [=Bernard/Stubbs/C=]'s at least until the fourth episode of the 4th season where its revealed that Olympiad Entertainment (the compnay she works for) is run by Hale and seems to have something to do with her control over humanity.

* RealismInducedHorror: Her stalker situation in the first episode of Season 4: while the audience knows there's likely more going on, from Christina's perspective a deranged man is stalking her and claiming she ruined his life despite never meeting him.

* RewritingReality: [[spoiler: She's been unknowingly writing the narratives for every human in the city, if not the world. After Teddy reveals this to her, her powers extend to being able to verbally rewrite a narrative on the fly, such as when she rewrites her boss's narrative to make him stop questioning her]].

* AmbiguousSituation: One of the biggest mysteries in Season 4 is who (and possibly what) exactly Christina is and why does she look like Dolores. Her storyline seems to mirror Delores' from Season 1 where she seems to begin questioning her reality and even has a morning routine similar to her state pre-awakening.

* {{Doppelganger}}: She's an IdenticalStranger to the Host Delores Abernathy but [=who/what=] exactly she is and how the two are connected acts as one of the [[DrivingQuestion driving mysteries]] of the fourth season.

** Mudding the issue further is that her storyline takes place 30 years after the third season and her actress Creator/EvanRachelWood has claimed that Christina is human. However, the company she's working for is run by Hale and her job seems scarily similar to someone who worked in Narrative at the Delos Park.

* BashBrothers: With Maeve once they team up to take down Rehoboam, [[spoiler:and later when they embark on a mission to take down Hale before she can execute her plot to take over the world]]. They are a very effective fighting unit with complimentary skillsets and combat experience.

* {{Doppelganger}}: She's an IdenticalStranger to the Host Delores Abernathy but [=who/what=] exactly she is and how the two are connected acts as one of the [[DrivingMystery driving mysteries]] of the fourth season.

* TheDragon: In Season 3, she's forced to become Serac's lackey in exchange of her desire to be with her daughter once they find the key to the Sublime. By the end of Season 3, she betrays him and aids Caleb instead after she learns about Dolores' true goals.

* WildCard: She isn't part of the larger revolution, preferring to go her own way, and she's off the script some unknown party programmed into her. The unknown party is Ford who is her creator and wants her to leave the park. But after he learns that her choice to find her daughter, he unlocks the rest of her abilities which would aid her in quest.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: He brought William to Westworld which set a chain of events where William becomes obsessed with Dolores and abandons Logan in the middle of the park, leading to his mental breakdown and drug addiction. Later, William buys the park which edges out Ford who becomes cynical about the guests' worst behavior. This culminates Ford's plan to free the Hosts in retaliation against humanity with Dolores getting out of the park, shutting down Rehoboam, and causing chaos to the entire world. Logan's simple gesture for William led to the rise of the Hosts with humanity on the brink of destruction.
