3	[[folder:John Milton]]
4	!!John Milton
5	-->'''Played By:''' Creator/NicolasCage
6
7	* AntiHero: A definitive NinetiesAntiHero. And yes, he was a criminal and a poor husband, but at least he's trying to save his granddaughter.
8	* BadassDriver: Where do you think the movie's title comes from?!
9	* CreepySouvenir: He eventually [[spoiler:gets Jonah King's skullcap like he said he would. He almost goes to throw it away, but then decides to just keep it]].
10	* DeadpanSnarker: He doesn't mind being sarcastic at times.
11	* {{Determinator}}: Milton breaks out of {{Hell}} itself, and doesn't let anything stop him from there on. He plows through enemies and takes his fair share of mortal wounds.
12	* EnemyMine: With [[spoiler:The Accountant, eventually, to take down Jonah King]].
13	* EscapedFromHell: The entire premise of the film is that he broke out of Hell to save his granddaughter and fuck people up.
14	* EyeScream: Milton's status as the living dead is confirmed when he gets shot in the face and gets up again a few minutes later, with his most visible injury his damaged eye.
15	* FateWorseThanDeath: His stint in Hell (although he died to get there, of course).
16	* FishOutOfTemporalWater: He died during the 90s, and is a little bewildered by how the world has changed.
17	* ForcedToWatch: His punishment in Hell was to watch his loved ones (his daughter, specifically) suffer over and over.
18	* GoodThingYouCanHeal: Since he's already dead, Milton can shrug off most wounds, and even fatal wounds heal after a while.
19	* HandCannon: He carries the Godkiller, a five-barrel handgun that can kill demons and wipe people out of existence entirely. He's also very handy with his 1911.
20	* KavorkaMan: He's [[{{Jerkass}} rude]] and has an awful hairpiece, but waitresses seem to throw themselves at him.
21	* MeaningfulName: He's named for John Milton, author of ''Literature/ParadiseLost''.
22	* MoeGreeneSpecial: By Jonah King; he gets better.
23	* PapaWolf: He ''is'' going to save his granddaughter. He broke ''out of Hell'' to do so. Either help him or get out of his way.
24	* ARealManIsAKiller: Scorns his "gentle" son-in-law for failing to defend his family and being killed by Jonah and his cultists. Never mind that he himself is having trouble with the task despite being a supernatural being, and has suffered several wounds along the way that would have killed him if he were mortal. It seems likely that this attitude may have something to do with why he's in Hell, and why his daughter married a man who was so different.
25	* RefugeInAudacity: How he stole the Godkiller.
26	-->'''The Accountant:''' You're not the first to get out, and I doubt you'll be the last, but I have got to know, how did you get out with the Godkiller?\
27	'''Milton:''' I just walked in and took it.
28	* RevenantZombie: Due to him being dead and all.
29	* TranquilFury: His attitude to Jonah killing his daughter and his [[HumanSacrifice intentions towards his granddaughter]], eventually leading to him calmly obliterating King with the Godkiller.

31
32	[[folder:Piper]]
33	!!Piper
34	->'''Played By:''' Creator/AmberHeard
35
36	* ActionGirl: The AntiHero version. She's pretty good with a gun.
37	* BadassInDistress: She's captured twice, but successfully rescues herself both times.
38	* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: A bloody lip after some particularly savage hits to the face is the worst she ever gets hurt despite eagerly charging into every fight at hand. It happens near the beginning of the movie and is gone again barely a minute later so the rest of the film can be spent enjoying Amber Heard's flawless looks.
39	* BloodKnight: Certainly has some shades of this, considering her tendency to let her fists do the talking to anyone who even remotely pisses her off (although to be fair, those who rile her up include her cheating boyfriend and members of Jonah King's cult, with King's cultists fully prepared to kill her and Milton).
40	* CoolCar: The titular Drive Angry.
41	* CopKiller: She kills two policemen enlisted by The Accountant.
42	* DeadpanSnarker: Piper certainly has some fun lines.
43	* DesignatedGirlFight: With one of King's cultists.
44	* MaleGaze: When her car breaks down near the beginning of the movie, the camera sure seems to enjoy lingering on Piper's butt while she's checking out the engine.
45	* MsFanservice: She's played by Amber Heard wearing short shorts for most of the movie.
46	* TheNotLoveInterest: Despite Milton inexplicably having an irresistible allure for every other woman, Piper's loyalty to him is truly platonic as is Milton's taking to her.
47	* [[SirSwearsALot Miss Swears-A-Lot]]: And unlike most examples, not just [[ClusterFBomb Cluster F-Bombs]], but other vulgarities as well.
48	* ShutUpHannibal: Gives one to Jonah King.
49	-->'''King;''' I've changed my mind about you, Piper; you are too willful to be taught. I am going to kill you, and then I'm going to [[ILoveTheDead defile your corpse]].
50	-->'''Piper:''' Between now and then... (''[[CrackingUp cracks neck]]'') ...I'mma fuck you up.
51	* UnkemptBeauty: Not as pronounced as some other examples, but she does sport a pretty wild mane after she quits her job at the diner.
52	* UseYourHead: Does this to King during their fight inside his car.
53	[[/folder]]
54
55	[[folder:The Accountant]]
56	!!The Accountant
57	-->'''Played By:''' Creator/WilliamFichtner
58
59	* AffablyEvil: He's usually very polite.
60	* AntiHero: [[spoiler: When he realises what [[PapaWolf Milton is out of Hell to do]], he postpones the hunt and helps him find his granddaughter.]]
61	* BadassInANiceSuit: Always clad in a sharp, neat suit, and is ''more'' than capable of ruining your day.
62	* BrutalHonesty: Whilst he's more often than not polite, he also has zero desire to sugar coat his words when dealing with horrible people. When talking to an unpleasant and overweight diner boss, he addresses him as "Fat Fuck" and when challenged on this asks if he rather it be "[[ImpliedDeathThreat Dead Fat Fuck]]."
63	* DeadpanSnarker: He's not at all adverse to some well placed snarking.
64	-->'''Accountant:''' ''[pointing to a pentagram carved on his chest]'' What's that supposed to mean?\
65	'''Cultist:''' It's a symbol of our pact with Lord Satan.\
66	'''Accountant:''' Pact, huh? Woo. Funny, he's never mentioned you.
67	* {{Determinator}}: Much like Milton, the Accountant will not stop until he takes Milton back to hell.
68	* EnemyMine: [[spoiler:Once he realises Milton's only concerned with stopping King and saving his granddaughter, he actively aids him in the final act. All with the understanding he comes back to hell quietly of course.]]
69	* EverybodyHasStandards: He thinks very little of King and his "Satanist" cult. Discussed when he [[spoiler: points out ''Satan'' himself isn't a fan of evil people committing atrocities in his name.]]
70	* HeroAntagonist: "Hero" might be a bit of a stretch, but Milton did deserve to go to hell, and it's the Accountant's job to bring him back.
71	* ImplacableMan: The Accountant will hunt down escapees from hell and drag them back. You can only run for so long before he completes his mission. Subverted in that Milton has an insurance policy against him [[spoiler: in the form of the Godkiller]].
72	* ImprobableWeaponUser: He can kill people with a coin.
73	* NobleDemon: After realizing that the only reason why John is out of hell is to rescue his granddaughter, [[spoiler: he lends a hand and even sounds disgusted at King using said granddaughter as a HumanSacrifice to {{Satan}}, whom he claims is actually a soft-spoken and well-read individual.]]
74	* OhCrap: His reaction when he sees that [[spoiler:Milton has the Godkiller]].
75	* PetTheDog: [[spoiler:He lets Milton hold his granddaughter for a while before bringing him back to Hell. He also lets Milton drive on the way back to hell.]]
76	* {{Psychopomp}}: He's the man who drags escapees from hell back to the their prison.
77	* PunchClockVillain: At the end of the day, he's just doing his job and it's one that needs doing.
78	* SophisticatedAsHell: He talks like a formal businessman who happens to casually insert obscenities into his sentences without missing a beat.
79	* WorthyOpponent: How he sees Milton. At the end, he confesses that he looks forward to Milton escaping from Hell again so he can restart the chase.
80	* WoundThatWillNotHeal: He gets his cheek grazed by the Godkiller, and the injury stays with him for the rest of the movie instead of healing.
81	[[/folder]]
82
83	[[folder:Jonah King]]
84	!!Jonah King
85	-->'''Played By:''' Creator/BillyBurke
86
87	* AndYourLittleDogToo: King has already brutally murdered Milton's son-in-law and his daughter but now also intends to sacrifice his grandchild.
88	* AxCrazy: Prone to becoming murderously violent on a whim, engages in necrophilia and wishes to unleash HellOnEarth. Jonah’s many things, and sane isn’t one of them.
89	* ArchEnemy: To Milton. In the past, he forced Milton's daughter to give him oral sex, beheaded her, used her femur to make his walking stick, and now plans to sacrifice Milton's infant granddaughter.
90	* BerserkButton: Do not even ''mention'' that he has no privates anymore. He shot dead one of his own cultists on the spot when he tried to mention it.
91	* BigBad: He's the main villain of the movie.
92	* CessationOfExistence: [[spoiler: After he gets shot by Milton wielding the Godkiller.]]
93	* DidntSeeThatComing: Milton throws a pretty big SpannerInTheWorks by coming back from the dead to avenge his daughter and save his grandchild.
94	* DissonantSerenity: Almost always speaks calmly no matter what.
95	* EunuchsAreEvil: His penis was bitten off by Milton's daughter and he's evil to the core.
96	* FauxAffablyEvil: His gentlemanly demeanor only accentuates the cold, hateful person he really is.
97	* GroinAttack: Milton's daughter bit his privates off when he forced her to give him oral.
98	* HumanSacrifice: King seeks to sacrifice Milton's granddaughter to the Devil.
99	* ILoveTheDead: He promises Piper that he's going to "defile" her body.
100	* KarmaHoudini: Depending on how you look at it, he's erased from existence, and having no afterlife, ultimately escapes Hell, whereas the protagonist doesn't.
101	* NewEraSpeech: Gives one to his crazed cultists shortly before the final battle.
102	* ScarsAreForever: When she first escaped the cult Milton's daughter stabbed him in the face with his own pentagram pendant. Leaving him scarred for life. Second time around when he tried to force her to give him oral sex she ''bit off his manhood.'' [[BerserkButton The latter is a touchy subject.]]
103	* TheSociopath: A charismatic cult leader who's perfectly willing to kill a baby to bring about HellOnEarth. When the kid's mom opposes him, he forces her to blow him, kills her and then makes a staff out of her femur.
104	* WouldHitAGirl: As Piper can attest to.
105	* WouldHurtAChild: He seeks to sacrifice Milton's infant granddaughter to {{Satan}}.
106	* WrongGenreSavvy: He believes that he has Satan's favour and that his human sacrifice of a child will bring about hell on earth. [[spoiler: Satan would be disgusted by his actions and doesn't even know he exists. As for his ritual? It will accomplish absolutely nothing other than an innocent's child's death. King has no supernatural powers in the slightest.]]
