* After the end of the Africa arc, Lars. [[spoiler: He's already been nearly killed by a plague, but now, his beloved wife Angela is revealed to have been a mole for SOMBRA, since even before he knew her. He confronts her in prison about this, and she is fairly aloof. He remarks coldly that she doesn't even care about their children because of what SOMBRA does to kids. Her facade cracks later, when she reveals she's always loved Lars, and even took great pains to keep the good things like her charity out of SOMBRA's clutches.]]
** When he reappears in "Murder, He Wrote", Lars has transformed into a [[TheAlcoholic drunken mess]] and [[spoiler:is threatening suicide by the end of Chapter 2.]]
* [[JerkassWoobie Edson Caetano]] from "Cheaters Never Win". His jealousy towards the victim (who was his rival in the Olympics) and resentment towards his steroid use led to him [[spoiler:being easily manipulated by SOMBRA, who tricked him into giving the victim a lethal drug dose.]] While it had been wrong of him to do so, [[spoiler:he wasn't even aware that SOMBRA existed or gave him a murder weapon until the deed was done, and after he's arrested, he cries over what he's done and is cooperative when the player interrogates him in prison.]]

* Harriet Patrick is a 16-year-old Irish immigrant who came to USA to find a better life for herself and her cow. Instead, she had to deal with difficult immigration officers who refused to allow her cow in, harassment from a fellow passenger, fed only potatoes by her cousin who felt that taking care of her was too expensive, being exploited by her rich employer, and to top it off, [[spoiler:murdered the case '''right after''' the one she was introduced in.]]

* Seamus O'Neill is another Irish immigrant who tries his best to make a decent living in Concordia, but is constantly screwed out of luck. He was first "sold off" to an abusive employer by someone he trusted. Then, when he finally escaped the immigrant exploitation scheme, he got involved in the Irish gang, and is made to do many of their dirty work, [[spoiler:such as helping convicted serial killer Fiona Flanagan escape from custody]]. Then, he fell in love with the heiress of the [[StarCrossedLovers Italian gang]], [[spoiler:but he is later arrested for murder when he is forced to kill her enraged father in self-defense for trying to get her elope with him]]. He is then [[spoiler:set free by the Irish gang members and is made to be their leader, while still being a fugitive. But he is eventually killed by a subordinate who discovered that he was still romantically involved with Giuletta.]]
* Giulietta Capecchi, ''big time''. After the end of the Crimson Banks arc, [[spoiler: her father, little sister, and her love Seamus]] are dead, and [[spoiler: her mother]] tried to kill her with a bomb for having fallen in love with Seamus. She even [[spoiler:tries to commit suicide]], but is thankfully stopped by the Player Character. Right after deciding to go on vacation and take a break from all the tragedy, she returns a few cases later as [[spoiler: the leader of the resistance against Justin Lawson]], only to [[spoiler: murder Inspector Jaubert of The Justice Corps by accident]], and to [[spoiler: go on the run]] with Enzo Jonas. Will someone please get the girl a cookie?
* Bernadine Rochester is pressured by her family to [[spoiler:use her relationship with Chief Wright to spy on the Flying Squad]]. When she refuses to do such a thing, the patriarch [[spoiler:threatens to lock her up in an Asylum]]. She's also experienced a lot of grief due to the death of [[spoiler:her uncle Leopold, which she felt partly responsible for]] and almost overdosed on antidepressants because of the stress. The last arc was particularly hard for her. When [[spoiler:Justin Lawson]] becomes Mayor, he cracks down on the Rochesters, whom he regards as the main source of corruption in the city. The Justice Corps confiscates most, if not all, of her assets, forcing her to flee her home and hide in the forest to avoid arrest and possible execution.
* Adelia Baldwin, [[spoiler:the late]] Commissioner Baldwin's daughter, is forced to go to an institution for fallen women [[spoiler: for being pregnant out of wedlock, only being so because her fiancee was murdered]]. When we see her in Capitol Peak, [[spoiler:she is destitute as a result of being evicted from her home and forced into prostitution]].
* The Woodford sisters, Faith and Hope. The eldest was [[spoiler:wrongfully brought to an asylum by her parents just because [[FantasyForbiddingFather she wanted to be a writer]], escaped, got a job as a circus bearded lady under a false name, and then killed a lesbian knife thrower who found out her true identity. This all makes it heartbreaking when Judge Lawson sentences her back to the asylum.]] Then there's the youngest, Hope, who spent two cases [[IWillFindYou desperately searching for her sister]]. These two girls have clearly been through a lot.
* The victim of Case 43, Aubrey Miller. A married herbalist and midwife, she was falsely accused of being a witch [[spoiler:by a woman who spread the rumor to hide the fact that she had an affair with Aubrey's husband. And was drowned by a woman she was helping, who believed in the rumor and thought she was causing her pregnancies to constantly end in miscarriage.]]

* In the first case, [[spoiler:Nathan.]] He's one of the very few non-{{Asshole Victim}}s in the entire series, yet most of the suspects in that case had still treated him like crap before he was murdered. His girlfriend, [[spoiler:Harper Stone]], had fallen out of love with him and broke off their relationship, even though [[spoiler:Nathan]] still loves her. A teacher at Fairview High had tried to get him fired from the zoo he worked at since she felt like he had violated safety rules; one of his coworkers began campaigning against him because he had to euthanize some animals as part of his job; and found himself unable to stop his boss from trafficking baby pandas. And the reason he was murdered? He had refused to doctor evidence for a former colleague of his during their coroner years, leading the latter's son to go to prison.
* Every suspect in Case 4. [[AssholeVictim The victim]], Brad Price hurt each one in a different way each. [[spoiler: First he tried to get Ace Boome's balloon kiosk kicked out to improve his own business. Then he ran over the psychiatric service dog of his childhood friend, Tristan Collins, and never apologized for doing it. He cheated on his fiancee Brooke and flower vendor [[StraightGay Javier Morales]] with each other, when both truly and genuinely loved him. And worst of all, he bullied his massage therapist, Megan Lucas, in high school, including a prank where he dared her to dive into a pool during a party, not telling her that the pool was draining, letting her land on hard concrete, which resulted in her stuck in the hospital and ruining her dream of becoming a doctor. The last one is what gets him killed.]]
* [[spoiler:Julian Ramis when he reappears in Case 5.]] He suffered from untreated depression because [[spoiler:the AccidentalMurder he committed five years ago]] made him an outcast. When he encounters the PlayerCharacter, he initially showed hostility towards them, believing that their investigation will ruin his life once more. Soon after Jones and Gabriel reassured him that he is a bright young man, [[spoiler:his father is murdered in the next case]]. He is later seen again at Grimsborough University, where [[spoiler:the victim of Case 38 had told him that there was no future for a "criminal" like him, pushing him to tears.]] Throughout the case it's implied that he's almost never had any good days in his life, and that not many people were willing to give him a chance until the player came along.
* Richard Harding, a friendly plumber fixing all of the earthquake's destruction. [[spoiler:He's a JerkassWoobie because he murdered Doctor Gibbs, but his reason is more than justified: Richard was infected with HIV because Doctor Gibbs used a contaminated needle, then told his wife about it, causing her to divorce Richard. No wonder the guy was infuriated.]]
* Robyn Ash, a bubbly (if not a bit vain) party girl. [[spoiler: She hired popular DJ Kalua Kaboom to DJ at her 21st birthday party, asking her not to use strobe lighting as to not upset her younger sister Piper's epilepsy. However, Kalua ignored her and used strobe lighting anyways, resulting in Piper suffering an ultimately fatal seizure. Heartbroken at her sister's death and the fact that Kalua could use her wealth to evade justice, Robyn attacked and killed Kalua, taking a photo of her body afterwards. Not only was her motivation tragic and went against her ValleyGirl persona, she also revealed upon being caught that taking a picture of her crime ''only made her feel worse about her sister's death''.]]
* Zoe Kusama. She is introduced as a missing person, later revealed to be Jones's girlfriend, and when she is found, she has no memory of who she was or of Jones. When she does start regaining her memories, they were all of horrible things that happened to her underneath the [=DreamLife=] dome, which culminates in Case 34 where [[spoiler:she finally remembers everything that happened, and when she confronts the head scientist who experimented on her, she ends up killing him, unable to hold back her rage. She gets arrested and sent to a psychiatric hospital, where in spite of Jones's support towards her, is treated badly by the staff and other patients despite her having done nothing to them. On top of everything, she gains unwanted powers from the Brezelium she was injected with during the experiments, which attracts the attention of Louis Leroux and gets her murdered by him.]]
* Wendy Stokes, a botanist under the [=DreamLife=] dome. She's one of the few people under the dome who knew that [=Dreamlife=] was up to no good, but she had gotten in too deep with the organization right before her girlfriend was murdered. In addition, she genuinely loved Barb, and was only angry at her for the fact she was about to leave the dome without her. Eventually, she manages to quit her job, [[spoiler:only to be taken to a laboratory and frozen to death in seconds. And she was murdered by her intern, who had no ill-will towards her and was forced into killing her as part of an experiment, to boot.]]
* Tony Marconi becomes one [[spoiler:posthumously]] at the end of the Misty Grove arc. [[spoiler:His attempt to leave his life of crime behind him was cut short when Rozetta forced him to dispose bodies for Dreamlife, or risk having his estranged scientist son, Emilio, end up being one of them. When Tony finally gets the opportunity to reunite with his son, he ends up [[{{Patricide}} being murdered by him]] for trying to crush [=DreamLife=].]]
* Isabella Narcisse, the wife of the AssholeVictim René in Case 38. The victim wanted complete control over their finances, even raging at her ''[[DisproportionateRetribution for going grocery shopping without him knowing]]''. [[spoiler:When she turns out to be his killer, she reveals that René caused them to go bankrupt by investing in the wrong stocks. When Isabella confronts him over this, he laughs it off and tells her to be more understanding, she stabs him to death with a fork, only to regret it moments after.]] She [[spoiler:gets a very lenient sentence, but it's telling that she had nothing to waste going to prison.]]

* Zosime, the kindhearted wife of [[AssholeVictim Pelagios]] in Case 4. She is expecting her first child in her 40s, which is viewed as a miracle by both her and her husband. However, Pelagios decides to exploit her pregnancy to gain attention for himself, making people invade her personal space and causing her severe stress. [[spoiler:She is later revealed to be his killer, and when confronted about it, she breaks down into tears and reveals that a midwife had said the baby would be a girl, and Pelagios was furious at this revelation, believing that only a son was worth Zeus's blessing and tried to force Zosime to abort the baby.

* Noah Lowe, the first victim when the team arrives in 1969, is a complete aversion to AssholeVictim. A typical country boy attending Woodstock, he fell in love with a poet, James Henderson, and planned to move to New York City with him. Unfortunately for him, James was unwilling to commit to a full relationship and rejected the offer. When his father Alfred found out about Noah's homosexual inclination, he kicked him out of the house, which Alfred would later come to regret after his death. He then hit it off with musician Ian Devine, only to be scared off by Ian's reaction to an acid trip. And to make it worse, [[AccidentalMurder his entire death was an accident]] - [[spoiler:his killer, Major Perkins, had a [=PTSD=] flashback while debating with Noah and accidentally hit his head too hard against a van's door while trying to protect him from what she thought was gunshot, resulting in Noah dying of blunt force trauma.]]

She is very courteous and polite towards the team, and mentions that the victim would be [[BadBoss horrible to his employees]], including herself.

* Serena Kwame, the mother of werewolf [[VictimOfTheWeek Danny Kwame]] in Case 4. When her son became a werewolf, she dismissed it as nonsense and thought he was befriending a bad crowd. [[spoiler:Only when Danny finally did prove to his mother that he really was a werewolf by transforming in front of her, Serena was very terrified. He gave her a book about werewolves to learn about his state, when reading that Serena learned that werewolves could be killed from being shot with silver bullets or with wolfsbane. She bought a gun and shot Danny during a full moon thinking she could cure him, only to [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone see that she had killed her son in the progress]].]]
* Priya Desai, the chemist for the Supernatural Hunters, is a werewolf herself and was subject to a ''lot'' of crap because of it. She had been unwillingly transformed one day after being bitten on her way home, and was subject to discrimination and hatred from both her loved ones and strangers, which made her reluctant to tell the player about her status at first. Her transformations are also incredibly traumatic for her as she is forcefully confined every full moon until she reverts back to normal. The fourth case of the season, which deals with the murder of a fellow werewolf, proves to be even more stressful for her as [[spoiler:she must deal with the shock of seeing one of her own dead, and later has a werewolf hunter threaten to kill her.]]

[[spoiler:Only [[spoiler: Only when Danny finally did prove to his mother that he really was a werewolf by transforming in front of her, Serena was very terrified. He gave her a book about werewolves to learn about his state, when reading that Serena learned that werewolves could be killed from being shot with silver bullets or with wolfsbane. She bought a gun and shot Danny during a full moon thinking she could cure him, only to [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone see that she had killed her son in the progress]].]]
* Priya Desai, the chemist for the Supernatural Hunters, is a werewolf herself and was subject to a ''lot'' of crap because of it. She had been unwillingly transformed one day after being bitten on her way home, home and was subject to discrimination and hatred from both her loved ones and strangers, which made her reluctant to tell the player about her status at first. Her transformations are also incredibly traumatic for her as she is forcefully confined on every full moon until she reverts back to normal. The fourth case of the season, which deals with the murder of a fellow werewolf, proves to be even more stressful for her as [[spoiler:she [[spoiler: she must deal with the shock of seeing one of her own dead, dead and later has a werewolf hunter threaten to kill her.]]



** Even more so when she joins Annette's wolf pack in order infiltrate them in Case 12. [[spoiler: [[BecomingTheMask She grows fond of Zander]], making it kinda of heartbreaking when Xander finds out she only join for watching them and not really staying.]]
* Zander himself is one, though he's more of a IronWoobie. Although he's usually a very nice person, his first appearance has him acting aloof towards the team and for good reason. His pack in San Francisco had been slaughtered by hunters, leaving himself and his friend Danny as the only survivors. However, Danny gets killed shortly after, leaving Zander alone and fearful that he'd be next. He later joins Annette Strong's werewolf pack, [[spoiler:where she withheld important information from him and ends up murdered, leaving a distraught Zander to try and keep the pack together. At around the same time, he finds out that Priya had only joined the pack to spy on them, which hurts him since he genuinely cared for her.]] With everything that's happened, it's a miracle that he remains kindhearted and willing to forgive and help the team.
* Chief Jacob Arrow, one of two founders of the Supernatural Hunters. 25 years prior, He and his wife Lily were on a romantic honeymoon in Saguro National Park when Lily was brutally murdered by a vampire, prompting Jacob to realize that vampires are real and create the Supernatural Hunters with Ben. During Case 6, he starts behaving very grumpy [[spoiler:due to being in the very place where he ignored Spirtual Healer Amanda Harrison's warning that Lily was going to die and the fact that she was murdered in the same room as the case's victim.]] After the team helps him overcome his grief, all seems to be well until Case 25, where [[spoiler:Lily is revealed to have been the Demon Queen all along, and Jacob can only look at her tearfully as she tries to sweet talk him.]] This leaves him inconsolable for most of Case 26, which only gets worse later on when [[spoiler:he finds out that ''Falcon'', his old mentor, had masterminded Lily's murder and taken him in as a form of damage mitigation.]] Jacob does not take any of the news well at all and [[spoiler:ends up running away from the team.]]
* Case 9 has four out of the five suspects who suffered ''massively'' at the hands of the victim, [[MadDoctor Dr. Lucrezia Stein.]] [[spoiler:Conjoined twins Charity and Mercy had been normal twin girls until Dr. Stein stole them from their mother and forcefully sewed them together. Former Officer Greg Schmidt, already insane from having seen a ghost and dismissed by his colleagues during the tarot card murders, was abused and frequently put into solitary by the victim, furthering his SanitySlippage. Savannah Austin, ''the victim's own daughter'', was subject to cruelty from her mother even as a child, and not only was dumped into the asylum because Dr. Stein disapproved of her boyfriend, but she would drug Savannah nonstop in order to prevent her from escaping in spite of her being completely sane. Then there's Adam Enstrom, who was supposedly cured of his mental illness by the victim and made her assistant, but she would often abuse him for petty reasons such as playing games with the asylum patients, and generally treated him as if he were subhuman. That's because Adam is actually an ArtificialHuman, put together with body parts from people who died under Dr. Stein's care. Unlike his creator, Adam was very empathetic and couldn't stand the way she treated the other patients, which led to him trying to "fix" her through trepanning, killing her in the process. He is so remorseful of his actions that he commits suicide shortly after the team convicts him of the murder.]] It's quite telling that when each of these suspects are interrogated for the second time, Gwen reacts to their stories with absolute horror.
* Sam Ellis, a ski lift operator [[spoiler:who is secretly a werewolf of Alpha Annette Strong's pack. Years ago, his young werewolf son was murdered by wicked supernatural hunter Ruth Wu. Sam would spend years grieving his son until he saw Ruth at the slopes. Filled with grief at this point, he waited for the full moon to fully transform into his werewolf state and brutally took out Ruth in vengeance. This motive can make it sad when Annette exiles him and banishes him to the forest.]]
* Hannah, the Roundhead Lake monster in Montana. [[spoiler:When we meet her after solving Case 14, we learn that despite what the locals think, she is actually a sweet and kind of adorable creature who went into hiding when the locals accused her of killing the case's victim, farmer Wyatt Ewing. We also learn that the say victim stole her pearl necklace and was even planning to kill her by draining the lake, prompting Shopkeeper Poppy Winters to kill him. It's sad thinking of what this cute monster has gone through.]]
* Four of the five suspects in Case 16 were treated harshly by [[AssholeVictim Dan Kelly]]. [[spoiler:Waitress Heather Night was already viewed odd and different by the citizens of Parkford. Dan ridiculed her for being a Wiccan despite freedom of religion, then hypocritically blackmailed her to cast a protection spell on his house, or else he would tell everyone in town she was a witch. Moose Nylund, [[GentleGiant a big man]] [[FriendToAllLivingThings with a love of animals]], was nearly cheated by Dan for his station wagon and then was almost framed by him for insurance fraud. Pastor Stan Jensen of the town's church was humiliated by Dan when he sexistly bewildered a female pastor during her sermon. Finally there's Dan's wife, Alice Kelly, who is merely abused and tormented by her controlling spouse, rendering her into a StepfordSmiler. It is revealed that Alice is actually a golem created by Dan with the help of witch Agnes Leek to be an always-obedient wife after he murdered the real Alice for defying him. After finding photos of Stan with the real Alice of moments she couldn't remember, she confronted him about it and he revealed to her the truth, threatening that she will meet the same fate if she ever disobeys him. Fearing for her life and knowing he will repeat the same cycle if she defies him, Alice kills him with a shovel. It all becomes heartbreaking in the Additional Information where Alice is so remorseful, that she tells Luke and the player to [[KilledByRequest deactivate her.]]]]
** Heather becomes one again in Case 20. [[spoiler: It is shown that her [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer outcast status]] led her to leave Parkford to find somewhere else hoping she could be accepted. When she found the Midwest witch coven, she hoped that they would accept her by inviting her to Walpurgis Night, only to be denied by good witch Belinda. The coven's head witch Morgana Blackhawk promises her to override the vote and accept her into the coven, but it turns out that Morgana had used Heather to murder Belinda because [[SheKnowsTooMuch she found out that she was behind the child kidnappings]]. Heather didn't even know that Morgana was kidnapping children, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone causing her to breakdown in remorse]], which makes it all tearful when Jacob hands her over to the authorities for Belinda's murder]].
* Danny Burnett, a young boy living in the Bellevue Towers in Chicago who witnessed his little brother being kidnapped by [[spoiler:a goat-headed witch with glowing green eyes at night]]. He was so traumatized by the event that he refused to talk to anyone at all. And he's 9 years old!
* Andrew Lodge, the boyfriend of Case 18's victim Sharon Decker. [[spoiler:On Valentine's Day, Sharon lured him to Charming Bridge and told him she wanted them to commit a SuicidePact so they could be together for eternity. She even carved an infinity symbol on her arm and wanted him to do the same. Frightened at this sudden and forced idea, Andrew refused to go through with it, angering Sharon. She still tried to make him jump with her, which resulted in Andrew to accidentally push her off the bridge while fighting back in self-defense. It's easy to feel bad for him after learning he went through all of that]].
* Dolly Hale, a teenage runaway from Nebraska and Dorothy Gale {{Expy}} we meet in Case 19. [[spoiler:As a little girl, she and her parents went to the theme park Aquamarine City. While there, she got horrified by entertainer Norm White's lion performance. The terrifying encounter left her traumatized and left her having nightmares about him. Her therapist suggested her to go Aquamarine City and talk to Norm about the experience, only to find him dead when she got there, unable to actually confront her fear. Mid-investigation, Dolly tried to get back home to Nebraska as her trip has been a disaster, only for Luke to tell her to stay until the investigation over. After the case is solved and she is proven innocent, her dog Tutu ends up eating Vixenglove berries, leaving him fatally unconscious. In order to save him, the Supernatural Hunters inject him with vampire blood, leaving him with vampiric traits. The poor girl could really use a hug right now.]]
* Gwen Harper, the player's female partner of the Supernatural Hunters. She was raised in a family of [[VanHelsingHateCrimes cruel Supernatural Hunters]], including a [[ControlFreak very controlling]] [[AbusiveParents mother]], and was practically forced to learn how to hunt monsters and watch her parents brainwash her brother into becoming a rotten hunter just as they are. She is also prone to short-term romantic relationships, [[spoiler: including a vampire boyfriend who, despite genuinely caring for her, tried to bite her and a girlfriend who gets possessed by the vengeful ghost of a friend murdered in a HumanSacrifice ritual.]] Then in the Midwest arc, Gwen begins to have recurring demonic nightmares [[spoiler: about a Demon Queen coming towards her. It turns out that Gwen is having these because she looked at a demon in the eye.]] Because of the nightmares, she decides to [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness take a break from dating for a while.]] It only gets worse after [[spoiler:her mother is murdered and she's flagged as a suspect. Although Gwen didn't have a good relationship with her mom, she still grieves for her death, even more so when she discovers that Dolores had actually been trying to reconcile with her right before,]] and calls it one of the worst days of her life.
* Tilly Harper, Gwen's little sister, also counts. Being [[TheBabyOfTheBunch the baby of the]] [[VanHelsingHateCrimes Harper family]], Tilly was at risk being corrupted and brainwashed by her mother just as her brother was. [[spoiler: When we finally meet her in Case 23, her mother Dolores is attempting to force to end her friendship with a Wiccan classmate. Then in the additional information, Tilly runs away from her family, finally having enough of them, saying would rather be with Gwen, whom she deeply loves and admires. This forces Dolores to begrudgingly allow the sisters to be together.]] This makes it all sad to think that a 13 year old girl could go through all that, but fortunately saved before it changed her.
