27Chloe's late father. He was a LAPD officer when he was murdered, apparently by a robber. His death motivated Chloe to switch her career from show business to law enforcement.
28----
29* AffectionateNickname: Chloe's nickname for Trixie, Monkey, is actually her own nickname given by her father.
30* AlternateSelf: "Once Upon a Time" shows an alternate universe where John Decker is alive to the present. He was eventually promoted to become a lieutenant.
31* ButterflyOfDoom: John Decker's death is revealed to be this. In the alt-universe episode, God narrates that if he saved John by moving the fateful bullet from killing him, it would have radically changed the future, since with her father being alive, Chloe had no reason to become a detective. The result is rather bleak: Chloe never meets Dan, meaning Trixie doesn't exist while Dan has nothing to reign in his darker impulses; Ella is inspired by Chloe's character to become a criminal instead of joining the LAPD; Linda becomes a talk show hosts and ends up betraying her morals for better ratings; Charlotte remains an AmoralAttorney because she never died and went to Hell; and Amenadiel never experiences the necessary character development to interact with humanity, which in turn means [[spoiler:he never met Linda and Charlie is unlikely to be born]]. While Lucifer and Chloe still end up meeting with Chloe suggesting she might really become a cop and Lucifer implying he might join her on cases, it's made clear that at least some of the crimes they've solved weren't investigated properly meaning several criminals got away with murder.
32* CanonImmigrant: He and his wife eventually appear in the 2018 ''ComicBook/{{Lucifer}}'' series.
33* HeKnowsTooMuch: He was murdered because he uncovered an important case that involved a prison warden who had connections with a lot of people, enabling the latter to cover up the true reason for over a decade.
34* IWillWaitForYou: [[spoiler:When she decides to return back to life, he promises Chloe that he will be waiting for her until her time comes.]]
35* PosthumousCharacter: Died 16 years before the start of the series which limits his appearances to flashbacks, alternate universes and [[spoiler:a brief appearance in Heaven]].
36* TimeShiftedActor: Chris Payne Gilbert plays him as a young man [[spoiler:which is also how he appears in Heaven]]. Louis Herthum plays an older version of him in "Once Upon a Time".
37* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler:After Chloe dies, he reunites with her. They are having a nice little picnic when Lucifer comes to get Chloe back.]]

51* LockedOutOfTheLoop: [[spoiler:Despite Ella having learned about her friends' divinity, she chooses not to tell Carol about it. Carol, on his part, understands, saying that loving Ella is already enough to commit to a relationship.]]
52* NiceGuy: He is very kind and gets along well with everyone. While Ella is receptive, this briefly triggers her trauma of dating another "nice guy" who ended up being a serial killer.
53* RecoveredAddict: "Buckets of Baggage" reveals that he was an alcoholic.
54* ShipTease: With Ella. Dan has plans to matchmake them [[spoiler:before his death]]. The two hook up in season 6.

63An LAPD officer who mentors Amenadiel for his first day in the force and becomes his partner.
64----
65* DecliningPromotion: She rejected a promotion to detective because she knew she would have been shipped off to a place away from the 'hood.
66* DefrostingIceQueen: She is cold to everyone, but gradually becomes friendly with Amenadiel.
67* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While not exactly a jerk, she has a status as a stern cop in the LAPD. But she genuinely believes in justice being delivered to everyone, particularly to underprivileged people, and is revealed to have rejected a promotion to detective because she wants to be closer to the 'hood and protect people living in it.

80----
81* DeadArtistsAreBetter: After seeing news of her music sales topping the charts in the aftermath of her death, Chloe realizes that this is the murderer's motive.
82* ForgottenFallenFriend: Despite her being established as Lucifer's friend and Linda's client, Delilah is never mentioned again after the pilot (except in the alternate timeline).
83* ReallyGetsAround: Slept with at least three men, one of whom is married. One of them didn't take well upon her rejection and paid someone to shoot her after she rejected him for the second time.

94----
95* BackForTheDead: Comes back in the first season's penultimate episode to get killed by Malcolm so he can frame Lucifer for the deed.
96* GoMadFromTheRevelation: As with Jimmy Barnes, he goes mad after seeing Lucifer's true face and constantly hounds him and tries to tell everyone else the truth.
97* {{Hypocrite}}: In his first appearance, he pretends to be a street preacher, despite not believing in stuffs about God, the Devil and the like. As Lucifer aptly says before he shows him his true face:

112* CanonImmigrant: She and her husband eventually appear in the 2018 ''ComicBook/{{Lucifer}}'' series.
113* DivineDate: With God himself, in "Nothing Lasts Forever". However, God opines that while Penelope is nice, [[MayflyDecemberRomance she is far too young for his taste]].
114* MysticalPregnancy: Decades ago, she had trouble conceiving a child, despite wanting one. Then Amenadiel came and blessed her, which made her receptive to pregnancy. That child? Chloe Decker.
115* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives a laconic but awesome one to Charlotte, who defends John Decker's killer during his trial. Of course, Penelope doesn't know that Charlotte is not really Charlotte, but rather the ''[[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu Goddess of Creation]]'', which makes it even more awesome.

128An "exotic dancer" from Las Vegas whom Lucifer secretly married during his time off the LAPD after the events of "A Good Day to Die". She is actually a conman Lucifer employed to put off his mother.
129----
130* AlternateSelf: Has one on [[Characters/Titans2018OtherCharacters Earth-9]] as Amy Rohrbach.
131* TheChanteuse: Candy worked in her father's bar as a lounge singer.
132* CrocodileTears: When Lucifer realizes she's a con-woman, she bursts out into tears as she recounts her story. While he believes her story, he says he doesn't buy "the water works". Sure enough, she immediately drops the act.
133* DaddysGirl: While her father passed away, she tries as best she can to keep the bar he owned from being taken by a loan shark.
134* DumbBlonde: Intentionally dons this persona as part of Lucifer's plot to deceive his mother.
135* FakeRelationship: She and Lucifer are married in papers only (enough for him to claim her at LA as his wife without lying and later to claim ownership of Fletcher's as a widower after her presumed death). She just helped him in his plot to make his mother stop trying to pair him up with Chloe as thanks for saving her from a loan shark who wanted to seize her father's cabaret club.
136* HeroicSeductress: While she ''is'' stealing money and jewelry by seducing men she entertains, it's all in order to clear her father's debt.
137* HiddenDepths: "Vegas With Some Radish" reveals she met Lucifer in a bar she was working at as a singer, and she has a very sultry, beautiful singing voice.
138* InsistentTerminology: A variant in that she is not correcting anyone. Instead, it's Lucifer, who insists that Candy is an "exotic dancer", not a stripper.
139* LadyInRed: The night Lucifer meets her, she's sporting an elegant sparkling red dress while singing a rendition of "Fever".
140* MasterActress: The end of her debut episode reveals [[ObfuscatingStupidity she was faking being a]] DumbBlonde this entire time, fooling everyone including Chloe and Lucifer's mother, a.k.a ''The Goddess of Creation''. Her next episode shows she's able to fake crying, too.

142* OddFriendship: With Lucifer, with who she seems to have a genuine rapport.
143* PinkMeansFeminine: Wears mostly pink, even having pink streaks in her hair.
144* PrettyInMink: She wears fur and feather coats in her debut episode.

159* IDidWhatIHadToDo: [[spoiler:Adriana really was involved in the planning of the robbery in "A Little Harmless Stalking", because she wanted to find money for her mother's medication.

174* AbusiveParents: Pete's mother didn't love him and kept screaming at him.
175* BirdsOfAFeather: He and Ella are both nerdy and geeky {{Nice Guy}}s. Subverted when we find out that Pete is a demented murderer. Although, in "Spoiler Alert", he tells Ella that she also has a darkness inside her.
176* BitchInSheepsClothing: Ella starts dating him because he represents a break from her tendency to date bad boys. Too bad that he is ''far'' worse than any guy she has dated before.
177* EvilAllAlong: Pete is actually the original Whisper Killer who inspired Les Klumpsky.
178* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: He is very handsome and a very sadistic and psychopathic serial killer.
179* FreudianExcuse: Pete started killing because of his issues with his mother, who was abusive to him. He chose women because they reminded him of his mother, he robbed their ability to speak because she constantly screamed at him, and he left behind lilies because she favored her lily garden over him.
180* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: Ella says to him that while Pete has a crappy childhood, he was far from the only one and not everyone with a bad childhood becomes a SerialKiller.
181* {{Geek}}: Like Ella, he is also a [[Franchise/StarTrek Trekkie]]. When his allegiance is revealed in "Spoiler Alert", he casually states that this was all a ruse to get Ella to connect with him.
182* HeManWomanHater: Pete's victims are all women because they remind him of his abusive mother.
183* InLoveWithTheMark: During his interrogation, Pete says that he approached Ella initially to get close and kill her, but was genuinely attracted to her and wanted to move on until Ella discovered his secret. In "Spoiler Alert", he also said that he can tell that she has a darkness inside her when they first met.
184* LackOfEmpathy: When he started dating Ella, he hoped that he'd finally feel something. He failed.
185* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to mention anything about Pete without revealing he's the Whisper Killer.

196Delilah's record producer and her murderer.
197----
198* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Part of the reason he killed Delilah was to get rich from her sold-out records, since "she owes [him]".
199* FreudianExcuse: Lucifer and Chloe backtrack through his Hell loop and discover that the root of his rejection issues is [[ParentalAbandonment his mother abandoning him]] in a motel room as a child so she could focus on her music.
200* GoMadFromTheRevelation: He is mentally broken after seeing Lucifer's true face and has to be confined in a mental hospital, with orderlies ready to restrain him from killing himself.
201* KilledOffscreen: Season 6 episode "Yabba Dabba Do Me" reveals that he died in the mental hospital a year earlier.
202* NotGoodWithRejection: After Delilah rejected him twice, he decided to pay a drug dealer to kill her. This is actually the root of all his problems a his mother abandoned him as a child, leaving with a man who said he was only holding her back in her music career.
203* SmallRoleBigImpact: His ordering Delilah's murder is what brings Lucifer and Chloe together.
204* StarterVillain: The first person Lucifer helped Chloe arrest. But wasn't actually the [[Recap/Lucifer2016S05E04ItNeverEndsWellForTheChicken first person he helped put behind bars]].

219* EarnYourHappyEnding: As revealed in the second half of season 5, [[spoiler: he's the first person to ever let go of his guilt and leave Hell, earning his place in Heaven, with some guidance from Lucifer.]] Lucifer eventually decides in the series finale that [[spoiler:his own true calling is to guide others to do the same]].
220* InSeriesNickname: Gets dubbed "Mr. Said Out Bitch" by Lucifer during the Season 3 intro in response to what he says to him when asked for his name ("I said out, bitch!") when Lucifer hitches a ride in his stolen armored truck.
221* OnceASeason: From season 2 through season 5, he appears in each season's first episode. [[spoiler:Season five breaks from this pattern by having him appear a second time in the season finale.]]
222* RagsToRiches: In "Everything's Okay", Lucifer gives him a truckload of precious goods, presumably to help him turn a new leaf.
223* SmallRoleBigImpact: He doesn't have any greater purpose in most episodes than to be humiliated by Lucifer, but [[spoiler: the fact that he was the first person to ever leave Hell is what convinces Lucifer to help others follow his lead.]]

233The deputy prison warden of California State Penitentiary. He is actually the mastermind behind John Decker's murder.
234----
235* GreaterScopeVillain: This guy is the reason why Chloe joined the police force.
236* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: In "Quid Pro Ho", he nearly escapes justice when Chloe refuses to testify against Lucifer, which means the judge can exonerate Smith. However, Dan has had enough and asks Maze to call in the same Russian mob whose leader Smith killed to give him the justice he deserves.
237* KarmicDeath: He covered up John Decker's death for more than fifteen years. In "Quid Pro Ho", Dan and Maze deliver a vigilante justice by secretly ordering a Russian mob to kill him, so no one will know who did it.
238* ManipulativeBastard: Paid several people to take the fall for John's death, which made him able to escape justice for 16 years.
239* WardensAreEvil: Turns out that he was involved in a criminal operation and killed John Decker when the latter got too close on the case for his comfort.

249A doctor, he was fired when he chose to save his work over his Uber driver from dying in a car accident. He subsequently became vengeful and held students of Malibu State University hostage while forcing successful people to ruin their career.
250----
251* AintTooProudToBeg: He begs Lucifer to save him when the latter visits him in Hell, but Lucifer can only shrug it off, since even if he wants to, he has no authority.
252* AndIMustScream: In "A Good Day to Die", it is revealed that Carlisle went to Hell after death, where he is eternally tortured by people lashing out at him for not saving the driver.
253* {{Expy}}: His MO of forcing people to dismember themselves in exchange for saving lives seems to be inspired by [[Franchise/{{Saw}} Jigsaw]].
254* IGaveMyWord: After his second victim (a surgeon) does what he dared her to do (namely, mangle her dominant hand), he immediately has the antidote for the second poisoning victim delivered to the doctor's home via {{Courier}}.
255* MasterPoisoner: His skill is making extremely complicated designer poisons which cannot be cured by anyone except for himself.
256* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: He actually didn't start out evil, but became one after he was excluded by the community.
257* MurderByInaction: People saw his priority to save his work over the driver as this.
258* NeverMyFault: He refuses to believe that he did anything wrong, and that everybody would have made the same choice he did if placed in a similar situation (prioritise not only their own lives and their livelihood over the life of someone else). Chloe points out that he was vilified not because he chose to save himself, but because he went back for his computer but Carlisle ignores this. When his second victim, a surgeon, chooses to damage her hand and therefore ruin her career, he decides that she only did that because she was being observed by the police and changes the situation of the experiment simply to try and prove that he was right. When Chloe and Lucifer find him, he then releases a poisonous gas in the room in order to prove that she would choose capturing him over risking her life to save the two victims, oblivious to how this is a completely different situation to the one he went through and what he forced others to experience. In his final moments he goes on to claim that choice is just an illusion and everyone is exactly like him, though the fact that he ends up in Hell confirms that he did feel guilt for what he did and is aware that he deserves to be punished.
259* SadisticChoice: His actions revolve around this: Either a successful person will ruin their career, or someone will die.
260* TakingYouWithMe: He kills himself after being cornered by Chloe, having discreetly injected her with one of his designer poisons, so she will certainly die.

270A reporter who stumbles onto Lucifer's identity as the Devil. He's also Dr. Martin's ex-husband.
271----
272* AllForNothing: Reese investigated and worked for months to find proof that Lucifer is the Devil, so Linda would distance herself from Lucifer (and somehow get back to Reese). When he finally confronts Lucifer with a gun and shoots him in front of Linda's eyes, now proving that Lucifer is the Devil, he finds out that not only does Linda already know who Lucifer really is, she is still friends with him and doesn't care whether he is the Devil.
273* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler:Reliving his investigation into Lucifer and the resulting downward spiral of his life on a loop. Comes with being in Hell.]]
274* TheAtoner: [[spoiler: The finale shows he's realized he's in Hell and expressing guilt for his actions. He hasn't succeeded yet but Lucifer is trying to help him on his road to redemption.]]
275* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler:He shows up again in the series finale as one of Lucifer's therapy patients in Hell.]]
276* TheCorrupter: Downplayed since Alvin was already a murderer, but he was remorseful, taking medication which kept his impulses under control and was prepared to surrender, until Reese convinced him to go back to killing.
277* CrazyJealousGuy: He started off trying to ruin Lucifer's life because he was sleeping with his wife, who was separated from him for two years and trying to get a divorce.
278* DeadAllAlong: [[spoiler:Of a sort; the ending of "Off the Record" reveals that he has been in hell for some time and the events of the episode have just been him reliving the events that led up to his death over and over]].
279* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of the DoggedNiceGuy, as explained below.
280* TheDeterminator: A dark deconstruction. His obsessive need to ruin Lucifer for sleeping with his wife results not only in the death of an innocent woman [[spoiler: but his own as well.]]
281* DoggedNiceGuy: Reese is a straightforward deconstruction of the trope with the various elements being inverted.
282** A traditional dogged nice guy is a genuinely nice and friendly person, who tries to understand the feelings of the person they are after, shows displays of affection that are based on the what the one they are pursuing would like, and while they might desperately want to be with the person they are after, want's said person to choose them willingly. On the surface he seems like a NiceGuy and acts polite and pleasant for the most part but given how he later tries to manipulate people in order to take his "revenge on Lucifer for stealing his wife", he clearly suffers from a serious case of ItsAllAboutMe.
283** Even if the dogged nice guy DidNotGetTheGirl, they will accept it because the [[IJustWantMyBelovedToBeHappy happiness of the one they admire is more important.]] While his interactions with his nurse after waking up in the hospital and conversations to his wife on the phone seem empathetic and caring, it's revealed that they split over two years ago but he won't sign the divorce papers because he believes [[EntitledToHaveYou they're meant to be together]] and his determination instead shows that he's more StalkerWithACrush.
284** Lastly, during the whole episode, his wife, Linda, is very patient and reasonable because as mental health professional, she understands his state of mind and is trying to help him cope and let him down gently. However, [[WishfulProjection he takes her concern as evidence that there is still a chance for their marriage]] in spite of all the evidence to the contrary.
285* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: Reese does recognize that he was a bad husband to Linda and finally admits to Linda that [[ItsAllMyFault he was responsible]] for their marriage failing. But then Reese thinks that merely saying this would restore his relationship with Linda. He is so [[ItsAllAboutMe obsessed with himself]], that he still hasn't listened to or learned from anything Linda has said to him.
286* EvilIsNotAToy: Trying to use a serial killer to kill Lucifer backfired spectacularly.
287* FootDraggingDivorcee: He's been separated from his wife for two years and hasn't signed the divorce papers because he doesn't want to admit it's over.
288* HeelRealization: Subverted, ''twice''. After spending a year trying to find a way to win against Lucifer, recruiting a serial killer, and accidentally getting an innocent girl killed in the process, he goes to Linda and admits that he was a terrible husband, only to be confused when she still doesn't want him back. He injures her by accident, seems to realize what he's done, gets poisoned, helps get the serial killer captured by Chloe, but in the end, he still only did it in the hopes Linda would take him back. See DramaticallyMissingThePoint above.
289* IJustWantToBeLoved: All he ever wanted is for Linda to love him. He doesn't understand that he irreparably damaged their relationship.
290* IntrepidReporter: Starts off as one, but his obsession with investigating Lucifer puts his career in serious jeopardy.
291* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Reese at one point seems genuinely sorry for his actions and wants to apologize to Linda, but it turns out that it was another desperate attempt to get her back.
292* JerkassHasAPoint: He assumed that Lucifer had Linda under a spell. In the beginning, Linda really was sleeping with him because his celestial powers made him irresistible to any woman who wasn’t Chloe.
293* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:Reese tries to manipulate a serial killer, who targets frauds, into killing Lucifer. After the killer finds out that Lucifer is anything but a fraud and Reese is a lying reporter, he kills Reese, when he returns back to work and gulps down a glass with poison.]]
294* KilledOffForReal: He's poisoned by a serial killer. [[spoiler:He goes to Hell because of his guilt.]]
295* LoveMakesYouEvil: It's not really love and more like ''obsession''. His obsession with Linda (especially after he finds out Lucifer is the Devil) leads to Reese trying to ruin Lucifer's life and even attempting to shoot Lucifer. When this doesn't work and Linda, already being aware of Lucifer's true identity, still accepts Lucifer, he tries to get Lucifer killed by using a serial killer and manipulate him into killing Lucifer. The killer changes his mind though and swaps the poisoned drink, which leads to Reese being indirectly responsible for the death of an innocent woman, who accidentally drank the poisoned drink.
296* MarriedToTheJob: One of the several reasons why Linda had enough of Reese was because he cared more about work than on working on his relationship with her.
297* NeverMyFault: His excuse after his actions [[spoiler:get an innocent woman killed? 'The devil made me do it!']]
298* ShadowArchetype: To Dan Espinoza.
299** Both blamed Lucifer for their marriages ending because he got close to their wives during their separation. Dan eventually faced the fact that his marriage ending had nothing to do with Lucifer and the best thing to do was move on, he even encouraged Chloe’s relationship with Lucifer. Reese never admitted that his marriage was over and kept futilely trying to win Linda back.
300** [[spoiler:Both tried to shoot Lucifer after seeing his devil face, but Dan eventually realized that he really is a good person. Reese just kept blaming Lucifer for everything.]]
301** Both tried to use a killer to deal with Lucifer, but Dan just thought he was asking a powerful man to use his clout to get Lucifer away from working with the police and was horrified to find out that the man was a murderer who was now targeting Lucifer. Reese tried to fool a serial killer into thinking Lucifer was the kind of person he usually targeted.
302** [[spoiler:Dan ended up in hell because he felt more guilt than he deserved, and after facing his guilt went to heaven. Reese went to hell because of his NeverMyFault attitude, and by the time the series ended, he was still trying to get out]].
303* TooDumbToLive: Convincing a RetiredMonster to go back to killing ended badly for him.

312
313A Vatican investigator introduced in Season 4. His goal is to send Lucifer back to hell to prevent a prophecy about evil overrunning Earth.
314----
315* ArcVillain: The primary antagonist for Chloe's storyline in Season 4.
316* BigBadEnsemble: One of the main villains of Season 4, alongside Eve. While more actively antagonistic and responsible for the events of the finale, his own incompetence leads to him being sidelined for most of the season up until the finale, [[spoiler: where his ''corpse'' becomes the main villain while possessed by Dromos]].
317* BigBadWannabe: Kinley is stunningly inept at whatever he puts his mind to. His manipulations of Chloe fall apart in his second episode, he gets arrested in the third, and [[spoiler:his attempt to kill Eve leads to her in turn killing him, sending him to Hell and causing the demon invasion he wanted to prevent]].
318* BitchInSheepsClothing: He appears to be a kindly, well-meaning priest, but is actually an [[BlackAndWhiteInsanity insane]], self-righteous fundamentalist.
319* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: He refuses to see Lucifer as anything but evil. Admittedly this can be blamed on how biblical lore has evolved over the last few millennia, but that loses water when he starts using it as an excuse to cover for his own less-than-noble actions.
320* CassandraTruth: None of his colleagues believe him about the Devil walking among them and they think he's gone insane. Turns out the Devil really is on earth, like he's been saying.
321* TheCorrupter: To [[spoiler:Chloe after going to Rome, trying to come to terms with Lucifer being the devil, convinced her to go with a plan to send Lucifer back to hell]].
322* DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler: Is killed in the penultimate episode, with Eve using his corpse to summon Dromos]].
323* TheHeavy: He drives most of the conflict in Season Four, [[spoiler:even after his death, due to Dromos taking over his body]].
324* EntertaininglyWrong: Due to his BlackAndWhiteInsanity and self-righteousness, he's thoroughly convinced he'll go to Heaven, [[spoiler:not understanding why Eve would think he would go to Hell. Since the demon Dromos possesses his body in the Season Four finale (something that he can only do if the body belonged to a recently-deceased soul destined for Hell), Eve was right]].
325* InsaneTrollLogic: He sees the fact that Lucifer isn't evil and actually cares (and even willing to risk his life helping others) is "all an act".
326* ManipulativeBastard: What he firmly claims Lucifer to be, and [[{{Hypocrite}} what he himself actually is]]. He plays on Chloe's fragile emotional state to push her into doing his bidding, and when that ultimately fails, seeks to convince Lucifer that Chloe has betrayed him in order to drive a wedge between them. He later uses Eve's love for Lucifer to convince her that sending Lucifer back to hell is the best thing for both of them. [[spoiler:If he hadn't then made the mistake of trying to kill her, he might well have succeeded.]]
327* NiceJobBreakingItHero: His efforts to thwart the prophecy are [[SelfFulfillingProphecy the reason it comes to pass.]]
328* RogueAgent: The rest of his organisation have long since written off Lucifer as a harmless eccentric and Kinley is defying their orders by going after him.
329* SelfFulfillingProphecy: He somehow heard of a prophecy regarding Lucifer: "When the Devil walks the Earth and finds his first love, evil shall be released." He's convinced that Chloe is that first love and that Lucifer will start some great conflict, so he tries to trick Chloe into sending him back to Hell. [[spoiler:In reality, it's his efforts to subvert the prophecy that lead to evil being unleashed, because it causes a line of DisasterDominoes that lead to him dying and being possessed by Dromos, who proceeds to kill a bunch of other people to be possessed by demons, all of whom start wreaking havoc on the mortal plane.]]
330* SinisterMinister: Turns out that Father Kinley is on his own a personal crusade against Lucifer, and not acting under orders from the Vatican. When the truth comes out, he's arrested and excommunicated. [[spoiler:Eve correctly identifies that his soul will end up in Hell when she kills him to let a demon possess his corpse.]]
331* TautologicalTemplar: He regards all his terrible actions as righteous since he's actively working to subvert a prophecy that he can't even verify is real.
332* TheUnfettered: He just takes being excommunicated in stride, convinced they'll see the truth.

341
342A mysterious crime boss, he somehow knows about Lucifer's true origins and arranged his abduction at the end of Season 2. He previously worked in Chicago but has recently expanded his reach to Los Angeles, bringing him into conflict with Lucifer.
343----
344* BadassNormal: He proves himself a diabolical crime boss able to match Lucifer in terms of schemes and his web of connections, but he's just a normal human.
345* DeathSeeker: Lucifer figures out his deepest desire is to be killed. Specifically, by him.
346* DiabolicalMastermind: He knows Lucifer's celestial nature and how to counteract his powers, knows his ring of contacts, and arranges things from behind the scenes to the point his existence is an urban legend.
347* DiscOneFinalBoss: Set up as the primary villain for Season 3, gets taken out of the picture in the mid-season finale.
348* TheDreaded: He's so bad that even Pierce is scared of him. Or rather, Pierce claimed to be in order to amp up the fear others have of him.
349* TheDragon: For Cain, who claims he's also a DragonWithAnAgenda that went rogue on him.
350* EvilerThanThou: Lucifer suspects he's "something darker" than him or God. In a sense, he's right, since it turns out the real "Sinnerman" that this one worked for is Cain.
351* EyeScream: He gouged out his own eyes to prevent Lucifer from finding out what he desires.
352* IronicNickname: "The Sinnerman" works well to set him up as a parallel to either Lucifer or God. When he's first learning the significance of the name, Lucifer lampshades that someone talking about "the sinner man" could very well mean ''him'' out of context. In context it refers to this guy's boss, Cain, another very apt candidate for the nickname "Sinner man."
353* NothingIsScarier: Lucifer has no idea who he could be or how he was able to neutralize Lucifer's invulnerability to knock him unconscious and kidnap him. Is he a demon, an angel, something else? Is he even a "he"? Lucifer doesn't know, and that's what worries him. Then it turns out that he was a normal human all along, albeit one in league with Cain.
354* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: It's never revealed what his real name was.
355* ThePawn: Was just a Pierce's pawn.
356* TheRival: To Lucifer, as a crime boss who grants people "favors".
357* SupernaturalRepellent: He wears sunglasses to keep Lucifer from seeing into his eyes and thus seeing what he wants.
358* TheUnreveal: We never learn why he was working with Cain, how they met, why he went rogue, or what his personal agenda was.
359* WalkingSpoiler: Talking about him in-depth spoils two major plot points; that he's a normal human being with no special powers, but also that he's working for Cain, the ''real'' Sinnerman.
360* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: When he finally begins to spill the beans on what's going on, Pierce quickly shoots him before he talks too much. Played with in that Pierce only did it because the Sinnerman had gone rogue on him.
361* YouKilledMyFather: He killed Pierce's brother, or so he claims. Actually, he didn't, though it is MetaphoricallyTrue. Pierce is TheManBehindTheMan for him, technically making him the real Sinnerman, and since Pierce is the biblical Cain...

389A French mercenary hired by Michael to retrieve Amenadiel's necklace.
390----
391* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler:After his incarceration at the end of his debut Le Mec returns for the final two episodes, after escaping prison, and serves as the series FinalBoss.]]
392* CardboardPrison: He is able to escape from prison because the guard left the door unlocked. Nobody notices he escapes because they are dealing with a literal lion.
393* ColdBloodedTorture: Really likes performing this.
394* TheDragon: To Michael.
395* FinalBoss: [[spoiler:Le Mec is the final threat Lucifer and Chloe have to fight together before Lucifer leaves Earth to fulfill his purpose.]]
396* FrenchJerk: He even describes himself as a "mean Frenchman".
397* HeroKiller: Le Mec is responsible for the death of [[spoiler:Dan under Micheal's orders]]. [[spoiler:This is subverted in season 6, despite Lucifer and co worrying that his disappearance in the future may be because he was murdered, and Le Mec holding Rory hostage in order to kill him, Le Mec ends up dying instead and Lucifer leaves Earth for an entirely different reason.]]
398* HiredGuns: A mercenary hired by Michael.
399* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:In the GrandFinale he cuts the metallic tips off Rory's wings to use them as weapons against Lucifer. He ends up dying after he falls onto the table holding the severed tips. He probably shouldn't have stored them with the points up.]]
400* IHaveYourWife: [[spoiler:In the GrandFinale, he kidnaps Rory and forces Lucifer to come to him and exchange his life for hers.]]
401* SmallRoleBigImpact: Another one-shot character who just so happens to [[spoiler:kill off one of the series' key characters. However, he makes a return in the final two episodes of the series, as the last threat that Lucifer faces before he returns to Hell for good.]]
402* UncertainDoom: Lucifer and Maze apparently made him pay for [[spoiler:killing Dan]], but it's unknown just what they meant by that. Averted when he returns in "Goodbye, Lucifer" as a prison inmate [[spoiler:who escapes]].
403* VillainousBreakdown: Breaks down once Lucifer whispers something to him after witnessing his devil eyes. [[spoiler:"Partners 'Til the End" reveals that it was something about his guilt, which tormented him until he snapped and decides to kill Lucifer to end his misery.]]
404* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to say something about this guy without revealing a piece of Michael's endgame as well as the fact [[spoiler:he killed Dan]].
