15	The main character. A girl trapped in the Tower who wishes to die. She teams up with Zack to escape the tower, promising to let him kill her when they escape. Later on, she's revealed to be the B1 floor master.
16	----
17	* AliceAllusion: She resembles Alice from ''Literature/AliceInWonderland''.
18	* TheAtoner: Rachel feels immense guilt for for the state of her own self and murder of her father (although it's in self-defense) before later sewing her parent's bodies together to make her own 'perfect family' after finding out that there's no way God would ever accept and bless her. In the anime, she's also filled with remorse for her actions as a floor master. This is why she wants Zack to kill her- she believes that no one will ever forgive her. She later comes to terms with it and is no longer seeking forgiveness for herself, though she still wishes to be killed by Zack’s hand.
19	* AffablyEvil: She acts just like a normal girl for the most part that it can be hard to believe she is a SerialKiller. And she does show genuine care for Zack.
20	* AntiVillain: Rachel is only confirmed to have killed at least one animal and her own father, but both were effectively self defense. Her obsessive taxidermy is initially motivated by her lack of positive relationships; once she realized the weight of what she's done, she's driven by heavy guilt to atone for her sins.
21	* BrainsAndBrawn: The Brains to Zack's Brawn. He has her tag along because she's smart enough to solve the puzzles to keep moving up the floors and escape, and she agrees because she simply can't muster the strength he can.
22	* BrokenSmile: Basically every attempt at a smile she gives is empty because of her dead eyes. Zack does not want to kill her until she gives him a genuine smile.
23	* DeadpanSnarker: Not as much as Zack, but she does show shades of this when dealing with his attitude and the other wards in the Tower.
24	* DeathSeeker: Her main motivation is to escape the Tower so Zack can kill her. The reason is that, after killing her father out of self-defense, she is out of it and wants to die, due to believing that God will never accept her into Heaven. It's telling that when she remembers the circumstances of how she got into the facility, she asks Zack to kill her in exchange for letting him escape.
25	* DullEyesOfUnhappiness: After her confrontation with Danny wherein she remembers that her parents are dead, her eyes become dull for the rest of the game. This is why Zack is hesitant to kill her- she looks too emotionless for him to take pleasure in her death.
26	* EmotionlessGirl: She becomes emotionless after she remembers her parents' deaths. Zack is unable to make her show any emotion even when he tries his hardest, which prevents him from killing her as he would not take any enjoyment in it.
27	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: For the first couple of minutes of the game, Rachel just seems like a normal but quiet teenager in an extraordinary situation. [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior And then she sews a bird back together before giving it a proper burial.]] Not only does it show her being more unhinged than she looks (she has no issue handling a dead animal and she insists on "fixing" it), but it also eerily {{foreshadow\|ing}}s her past.
28	* FinalBoss: From a gameplay perspective, Ray herself is the floor master of the top floor and the last one Zack faces off against. Afterwards, you have to escape the CollapsingLair up a giant staircase and confront [[BigBad Dr. Danny]] in a cutscene.
29	* FreudianExcuse: Her parents were neglectful and treated her with little to no consideration, and it's implied that some of her oddness comes from her mother's history of mental illness. Then when she witnesses the death of her mother at the hands of her father, he tries to kill her too, until Rachel takes a gun and kills him out of self-defense.
30	* GirlyRun: For most of the first episode, she flails her arms around in a panic whenever she's running anywhere. To demonstrate how different she is after the FirstEpisodeSpoiler, on the rare occasions she runs in later episodes she's shown with a much more focused run, with her arms pumping in alternation with closed fists.
31	* {{Handguns}}: She carries around a handgun (which she stole from her late abusive mom) in her bag just in case things get troublesome. She eventually uses it to take down Cathy.
32	* HeelFaithTurn: Rachel studying her Bible fills her with remorse for killing her parents and many others as a floor master, which leads to the events of the first episode.
33	* TheHeroDies: [[AmbiguousEnding Possibly]]; whether or not Zack fulfills his promise to kill her is unconfirmed and up to interpretation.
34	* IJustWantToBeLoved: One of her motivations for killing her parents, the other being self-defense. She thought if she could kill them and sew them together she could have a "proper family" where everyone is happy.
35	* LittleMissBadass: She proves herself to be quite the good shot with a pistol, and she shows that she's the master of Floor B1 for a reason; she effectively kills Zack three times during their chase (and would have managed four had he not triggered the arrow trap earlier).
36	* MeaningfulName: Her name means 'ewe' (compare the phrase 'like lambs led to the slaughter'). The Biblical Rachel was preferred by Jacob above Lea, because she had beautiful eyes.
37	* MoralityPet: Eventually becomes this to Zack, the SerialKiller. He grows to genuinely care about her, showing that he does have somewhat of a heart underneath his murderous exterior.
38	* NervesOfSteel: Once she remembers her past, Zack is unable to scare her no matter how hard he tries to intimidate her thanks to ThePowerOfApathy. It's for this reason that she bores him and he refuses to kill her until she gets her emotions back.
39	* NotSoStoic: As the story goes by, it becomes more explicit that she's very mentally unstable under her serene exterior. It gets to the point where she tries to kill Zack on her floor.
40	* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: On her floor, Ray shoots Danny when he tries to kill Zack, implying that she'll be the one to kill him.
41	* PrayerPose: In the anime, Rachel folds her hands in prayer when she is feeling afraid and trying to calm herself. She also makes this pose when she asks Zack to kill her.
42	* RedemptionEqualsDeath: She believes in this; the initial reason why Rachel seeks death is that she considers the murder of her own father and her own screwed personality to be sinful and unacceptable to 'God'. She still wishes to die after she has come to terms with it, but by then, she wants to be killed by Zack out of her own desire.
43	* SecretlySelfish: While she tries to paint herself as morally superior, for a large part of the story she only helps and uses Zack for her own goals, with zero regard for anyone around her, demonstrated by her ruthlessly slaughtering Cathy's zombie-like prisoners because they're "in the way." After examining her, Gray uses this against her when he convicts her as a witch. Rachel doesn't take this revelation all too well.
44	* SlasherSmile: Just before she shoots her father (in self-defense), she gives a terrifying smile as she tells him to become part of her 'perfect family'.
45	* TheStoic: Her default personality. None of the crazy, morbid things she witnesses make her break her composure.
46	* SympatheticMurderer: The first person she actually killed is her abusive father, when he was planning to kill ''her''. The problem is her obsessive taxidermy to "own" something does ''not'' indicate someone stable. In the anime, she later kills many others as a floor master.
47	* TokenGoodTeammate: Despite her mental issues, she is basically the only floor master who is not a murderous psycho. This is largely averted in the anime, where she has a body count like the others.
48	* TrapMaster: Her modus operandi on her floor is based on leading Zack through traps that she's explicitly set up ahead of time, and her whole floor has traps comparable to Cathy's floor.
49	* TraumaButton: Her entire floor serves as this, since it is modeled after her old home, where she was abused by her parents.
50	* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: She is able to use a gun despite how young she is, and later having moments where she is not hesitant to kill anyone who tries to harm Zack. Her EstablishingCharacterMoment is obsessively sewing two halves of a dead bird back together, and it is later revealed that this is something she did twice in her past, first patching up a dead puppy she wanted to befriend after it's implied she killed it, and then sewing her parents' corpses together (after shooting her father dead with a SlasherSmile on her face), so they could all be a perfect family.
51	* VillainProtagonist: Downplayed. She turns out to not be as innocent as she appears, being a cold-blooded killer, manipulator, and floor master, but her only onscreen kill is her abusive dad who was trying to kill her.
52	* WalkingSpoiler: Her backstory is a mystery for much of the story, only revealed at the end; and her status as a floor master is also a major reveal.
53	* WhatBeautifulEyes: Danny, at least, thinks that her DullEyesOfUnhappiness are beautiful- hence why he wants to [[EyeScream scoop them out and preserve them]].
54	* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Downplayed. Her hideously abusive childhood, followed by her father murdering her mother ''in front of her'', causes her to have a psychotic break and, after killing her father in self-defense, she taxidermies their bodies (and a dog she also killed in self-defense) to create something resembling a perfect family. Downplayed in that she later comes to understand what she did was wrong and causes her to become suicidal out of shame and guilt; she tries to kill Zack at one point during a HeroicBSOD, but she is not in her right mind at the time and stops after calming down.

63	'''Height:''' 186 cm \
64	'''Blood Type:''' B \
65	'''Birthday:''' ?????? (see note)\
66	'''Zodiac Sign:''' Leo ]
67	A psychotic serial killer and the B6 master. After attacking Danny, he is sentenced to become a sacrifice for treachery, so he teams up with Rachel to escape the Tower under the promise that he can kill her once they leave. [[note]] His birthday was noted on files in The Facility as July 24, making him a Leo. If this is his real birthday is unknown [[/note]]
68	----
69	* AbusiveParents: His mother never loved him
70	* AdaptationalHeroism: Downplayed. While still a SerialKiller, he's more mellow in the anime compared to the game, where he's very simpleminded and animalistic. (Which, considering how simpleminded, impulsive, and AxCrazy he is in the anime, is quite a feat.)
71	* AxCrazy: To say this guy loves killing is an understatement. Like the other floor masters, he agrees to live in the Tower purely because he was told that he could kill anyone he wants.
72	* BerserkButton: Expressing happiness around him increases his urge to kill.
73	* BigBrotherInstinct: Despite vowing to kill Ray, there are signs that he develops a soft spot for her.
74	* BigDamnHeroes: [[AntiHero For a certain degree of hero]], during the ending Zack busts Rachel out of the rehab facility that she has been admitted to, so he can keep his promise and kill her.
75	* BrainsAndBrawn: The Brawn to Ray's Brains. He has her tag along because she's smart enough to solve the puzzles to keep moving up the floors and escape.
76	* BookDumb: He can't read nor write.
77	* BloodKnight: He loves fighting and killing, to the point of it being an uncontrollable urge.
78	* TheBrute: Serves as this for the floor masters, being physically the strongest but least intelligent out of all of them.
79	* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: He refuses to let Ray die until she's helped him escape, even going so far as to give her a gas mask to keep her from dying from poison gas and taking bullets for her.
80	* CoveredInScars: The reason he's wearing all of those bandages was because a man that's implied to be his birth father attempted to burn him alive. He received horrible burns scars all over his body as a result.
81	* {{Determinator}}: Since he hates liars, he is very adamant about keeping his promises, and in-story is determined to fulfill his promise with Ray to help her escape and be the one to kill her. Getting electrocuted, poisoned, stabbed, shot, or burned won't be enough to stop him. Even when the man set him on fire in his childhood, he still managed to take a chunk out of the man ''with his teeth'' while he was burning.
82	* DumbMuscle: Illiterate and not very bright, but he's monstrously strong and fast.
83	* EurekaMoment: Watching part of a slasher film inspired him to murder his foster parents, sending him down the path of an insane murderer.
84	* EvenEvilHasStandards: He may be an unrepentant serial killer who absolutely loves to murder his victims, especially if it's in their last moments, but he has some standards:
85	** He ''hates'' liars with a burning passion, and as such, his own principles dictate he never lies; he will kill someone out of anger if he's lied to.
86	** While he enjoys killing, he doesn't like killing someone who looks dead or emotionless.
87	** He considers the other floor masters to be even crazier than he is. Indeed, vicious as he is, his interactions with Rachel show he has his own set of values that ultimately put him on a different level compared to his colleagues who are straight-up psychos (and Gray). In addition, Zack accepts who he is, is pure about his love of murder and is direct about it, instead of trying to make self-justifications for his actions or make them seem noble like the other floor masters, including Rachel, do.
88	* EvilCannotComprehendGood: He cannot understand why Ray isn't afraid of him due to her DarkAndTroubledPast and is very confused by her being a DeathSeeker.
89	* EvilSoundsRaspy: Talks in a very raspy voice.
90	* EvilLaugh: He loudly cackles whenever he's about to go on a rampage and wreak havoc.
91	* EvilVersusEvil: Anytime he fights one of the Floor Masters, who are all worse than him.
92	* FireForgedFriendship: Initially out to kill Rachel, he loses interest in ending her life due to her lack of emotion. They then ally together to escape the prison with the promise that Zack will kill Rachel once they are free.
93	* ForTheEvulz: The very reason he's a SerialKiller. He wants to see the looks of fear and despair on his victim's faces as they try to run from him and then fail as he stabs them to death.
94	* ForgetfulJones: He can only remember his own name and he can't fully remember the people's names he meets. He even keeps forgetting Rachel's name but decides to call her Ray for short.
95	* FreudianExcuse: As a child, a man, either his father or a boyfriend of his mom, tried to burn him alive. Afterward, his mother sent him to an illegal orphanage, where he spent much of his childhood being abused and neglected by the wardens. He eventually snapped and killed the wardens before fleeing, and from then on grew into the SerialKiller he is today.
96	* AGodIAmNot: At one point, Rachel announced Zack 'her God'. He found it unsettling. It's an early sign that Rachel is almost as unstable as he is. He says this again to Ray, on B1, when she asks him if he still wants to be her God after he learns her backstory.
97	* TheGrimReaper: He gives off this vibe, wearing a hood and wielding a SinisterScythe.
98	* HairTriggerTemper: It takes little to set him off, but given his personality and past, it’s not surprising.
99	* HugeGuyTinyGirl: When standing next to Rachel, he easily towers over her by a few feet.
100	* IGaveMyWord: When Zack promised to kill Ray after getting out of the facility, he really means it, as in the ending of the game, he scales through the hospital Ray is kept in to fulfill his promise to her.
101	* InTheHood: He always wears a hoodie.
102	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Zack may be a SerialKiller who [[SirSwearsALot curses a lot]] and is pretty trigger-happy, with a tendency to bash and strike his problems head-on (preferably with his scythe) instead of using his head, but get him to care enough about you or make an oath with him, and he ''will'' protect you (as he does with Rachel).
103	* LaughingMad: Especially in the anime, he has a very distinct laugh that borders on a psychotic breakdown and homicidal glee.
104	* {{Leitmotif}}: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltL3blKIri4 Danger Zone]]" that plays whenever he is on a rampage.
105	* LightningBruiser: He is ''impossible'' for Rachel to run from, and is shown to be incredibly strong and fast. He dominates head-on fights with the other killers in the tower.
106	* MadeOfIron: Zack gets electrocuted on a high voltage electric chair, injected with deadly poison, fatally slashed on his own stomach, shot countless times and suffered from an explosion at point-blank range, yet can still move and swing his scythe around to great effect. Granted, Rachel helps heal up his aforementioned stomach wound, but the man still suffers from a lot of brutal physical punishment that could've resulted in death, and ''survived''. It’s no wonder why the others started calling him a 'monster' and he boasts that nothing can kill him.
107	* MeaningfulName: His first name refers to the biblical figure of Isaac, meaning, 'to laugh'. His EvilLaugh aside, there is very little known about the biblical figure but his binding. Eventually, the offering comes to a halt and a sheep (note that Rachel's name means 'ewe') is sacrificed instead. His last name, Foster, refers to him being a foster child.
108	* NeverLearnedToRead: Probably because of the terrible conditions of the orphanage he was in. He often has to rely on Rachel to read things for him.
109	* NeverMyFault: Memorably, over the course of a single conversation, he goes from screaming about how he couldn't possibly have known his scythe couldn't cut through iron bars to blaming Rachel for not warning him hitting them wouldn't work to insisting ''she'' told him to do it. Rachel told him it wouldn't work as he was lifting his scythe.
110	* NobleDemon: He's an AxCrazy SerialKiller who will murder you without hesitation just because you want to live, but he has his own principles which he abides by and is able to form a truce which he will respect if given the right motivation. He also does not draw out a person's death while on the hunt, unlike the other floor masters who will gleefully torture victims.
111	* OddFriendship: With Rachel. A SerialKiller and his intended EmotionlessGirl victim striking up an allegiance to escape the hell they are trapped in.
112	* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Or rather, kill, but this is how he feels about Rachel, since he's aware that he'll never be able to escape from that building alone. After his promise to her that he'd be the one to kill her, he absolutely refuses to let her come to harm from anyone else. It starts off with him trying to get her off his case and maybe even have a little helping hand to help him escape, but over time, he really does take his oath seriously, even telling her not to die or get herself killed off by anyone else before they escape, as he promised that he's the only one that is allowed to kill her. It's implied that he fulfills his promise to her after the ending.
113	* OurSlashersAreDifferent: Guess why.
114	* PetTheDog: Despite his disgust for her earlier, he genuinely compliments Rachel for being useful to him after shooting himself full of drugs for one of Cathy's challenges.
115	* PureIsNotGood: [[ZigzaggedTrope Zigzagged]]. Gray describes him as being incredibly pure, unlike the rest of the Floor Masters, even going as far as to compare him to an angel. On the one hand, he’s a rude, foul-mouthed SerialKiller who initially only spares Rachel as a result of [[EmotionlessGirl her not responding to his threats against her life]] and [[CantKillYouStillNeedYou needing her help to escape the Tower]]. On the other hand, he grows to genuinely care for Rachel and her wellbeing and is arguably the most moral of the Floor Masters outside of Rachel herself.
116	* ReluctantPsycho: At one point, he tells Rachel that if he could control his murderous impulses, he would never have ended up in the tower in the first place, indicating that he really does not want to be a SerialKiller but is forced to by compulsion.
117	* SerialKiller: Became one after his abusive treatment from both his parents and the orphanage. Both the media and he himself refer to him as a serial killer.
118	* SinisterScythe: His weapon of choice, which he is always seen carrying around (until later, when Rachel has to borrow it).
119	* SirSwearsALot: Half the stuff that comes out of his mouth will have a swear, curse, or exclamation to match his mood.
120	* TheSociopath: Downplayed, but Zach fits the bill not only in his, you know, being an AxCrazy SerialKiller, but in being incredibly impulsive and incapable of taking responsibility for his actions.
121	* SpannerInTheWorks: Zack's impulsive decisions to chase Rachel past his floor, kill Daniel because he's "too happy", and then not kill Rachel right then and there throws the entire Tower into chaos. This prevents either from being killed by the other floor masters and allows the pair to eventually escape.
122	* VillainProtagonist: The main male protagonist, who most definitely isn't a good person as he is a SerialKiller.
123	* WaterfallPuke: Happens in the anime; when Rachel asks Zack to kill her, he vomits in rainbow colors, absolutely disgusted with the idea of killing someone who wants to be killed.
124	* WalkingSpoiler: He is initially presented as the WarmupBoss of the first level and a straight-up SerialKiller; his role as {{Deuteragonist}}, his kinder side, and his FreudianExcuse are only revealed later.
125	* WarmupBoss: He is the first floor master encountered by Rachel. Unlike most examples, he sticks around and becomes the {{Deuteragonist}}.
126	* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: Zack's main approach to solving problems is to smash and/or kill them with his scythe, due to his temper and low attention span. This surprisingly works some of the time, but Rachel often has to do puzzles while he ineffectually kicks a closed elevator.
127	* WouldHurtAChild: Not only does he kill [[EnfantTerrible Eddie]] and try to kill Rachel at the beginning of the story, but his entire reason for helping Rachel escape (at first) is because she promises to let him kill her afterwards.
128	* WouldHitAGirl: He has no problem killing women, whether it be [[PlayerCharacter Rachel]], [[KnightTemplar Cathy]], or a woman who lied to him in the past.

142	Rachel's former therapist, and the B5 floor master. As it turns out, he is the primary antagonist of the game, as he is the one who brought Rachel to the tower and wants to keep her inside. He is also the VillainProtagonist of ''Episode 0'', which focuses on his efforts to recruit floor masters for the Tower.
143	----
144	* BitchInSheepsClothing: At first he seems polite and considerate, but as time passes it's plain to see that he is not the kind doctor he appears to be.
145	* BigBad: In both the original story and the prequel ''Episode 0''. While he works under [[GreaterScopeVillain Gray]], he is the one who brought Rachel (and the other floor masters, who serves as the bosses) to the tower in the first place, and does everything in his power to ensure Rachel never leaves.
146	* ChekhovsGunman: Initially, he seems to just be the B5 floor master who gets killed by Zack and quickly forgotten. He returns later, revealing himself to be the BigBad behind the whole story.
147	* DeadlyDoctor: He specializes in tearing the eyes out of people and wants to do so to Rachel.
148	* TheDragon: To Gray, being the building's "first angel". In the main story, he acts as a DragonWithAnAgenda, while in the prequel manga he acts more like a traditional example as Gray's right-hand man.
149	* DragonInChief: While he is technically merely the second floor master and servant of Grey, he is the one who recruited the killers to be the building's floor masters and manipulates all of them to keep Rachel in the tower.
150	* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: He says that he genuinely loved his mom, and his obsession with killing people for their eyes is a twisted attempt to fill the hole left by her suicide.
151	* ExoticEyeDesigns: An artificial eye he's wearing has two pupils.
152	* EyeScream: He was born with only one eye. Inflicting this on his victims by scooping out their eyes is also his M.O. as a SerialKiller.
153	* FreudianExcuse: The reason for his obsession with ripping out eyes and {{Yandere}} behavior toward Ray is that she has eyes [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas just like his mother's]], which were blue and [[DullEyesOfUnhappiness dull]]. She committed suicide when he was a child due to him only having one eye. Because of this incident, he has felt lonely, and believed that by bringing Ray to the tower, he wouldn't feel lonely anymore.
154	* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: Does this to Rachel, capturing her trying to escape and is about to perform an experiment to remove her eyes, until he notices her change.
155	* InsistentTerminology: He always calls eyes "peepers" in the English version of both the game and manga.
156	* LoveAtFirstSight: He was already obsessed with collecting eyes, but he became infatuated with Rachel after laying witness to her dead, tranquil eyes, stating that it was the most beautiful pair of eyes he had ever seen.
157	* MadDoctor: He is obsessed with and has a collection of eyes from his victims on his floor. He's the one who wants to find and preserve Rachel's "beautiful peepers".
158	* MadLove: He first fell for Rachel when he met her and saw her blue eyes (which reminded him of his mother’s dead eyes) for the first time.
159	* ManiacTongue: When his true colors are revealed, his expression changes and he has an elongated tongue sticking out of his mouth to show how far gone he is. He uses it to lick Rachel's face right after revealing it.
160	* NotQuiteDead: Even after Zack cut him down, Danny repeatedly makes his appearance throughout the game's events, eventually flat-out being revealed as the BigBad.
161	* ObviouslyEvil: Though he seems like a normal and caring therapist for the first few seconds during the first encounter with him, he quickly acts more and more suspiciously. By the time he reveals himself as the floor master, it is hardly a surprise.
162	* PostFinalBoss: After [[FaceHeelTurn Rachel herself]], he is the last enemy standing between Zack and getting Rachel out of the tower, but only shows up after the climax involving Ray and Zack bashing their way up a massive staircase and is quickly beaten by Gray.
163	* PsychoPsychologist: Danny's a therapist, but there is clearly something wrong with him, as he is a SerialKiller with an eye fetish and the BigBad who uses his position to recruit fellow killers for the Tower.
164	* RasputinianDeath: For such a nerdy looking guy, it sure does take a lot to kill him. [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower Zack]] slashes him twice, Ray guns him down, and Gray shoots him in the chest using a crossbow. Yet even then, it takes the whole building collapsing on top of him to finally finish him off.
165	* RedEyesTakeWarning: For some reason, one of Danny's glass eyes has both a red and green iris in it simultaneously, making it appear as though he has "[[http://www.viralnova.com/pupula-duplex/ pupula duplex]]" in that eye. He's also insane.
166	* SerialKiller: Even before he became a floor master, he killed people and [[EyeScream scooped out their eyes]] to preserve them.
167	* SlasherSmile: Whips one out after he has captured Rachel and shows a much more sinister side to his reasons for 'helping' her. He also smiles this way frequently in both the anime and mangas.
168	* StayingAlive: He has the tenacity of a cockroach, repeatedly coming back from what should have been mortal injuries. It takes the whole complex collapsing in on him to finally do him in for good.
169	* VillainousBreakdown: In the very end, once Gray stops him from killing Ray and Zack (who flee from the building), Danny begins literally crying and screaming about how he failed to get Rachel to himself.
170	-->'''Danny:''' But what else is there for me, then...! When I saw Rachel's peepers... They were unloving and full of such despair... I longed to shower those peepers with love for all eternity...! It was in them that my once insignificant life gained meaning again! [[TheUnfettered I could accomplish anything to make it come true!]] ... But I can no longer love those peepers... I mean, if she isn't alone... Who will love such an ugly wretch like myself...!
171	* VillainProtagonist: Of the prequel manga, ''Episode 0'', which details his past and his role in recruiting various psychopaths for Gray's experiment.
172	* WalkingSpoiler: It is impossible to talk about him without revealing that he is both a floor master and the overall BigBad.
173	* MeaningfulName: His first name has the meaning of 'god is my judge', seemingly refering to Gray.

186	Formerly the son of a family of gravediggers and the B4 floor master. A young boy who falls for Rachel.
187	----
188	* AlasPoorVillain: Despite his desire to kill Rachel and antagonizing Zack repeatedly, his final moments in the anime make him more pitiable and sadder.
189	* AllLoveIsUnrequited: His feelings for Rachel aren't reciprocated since she will only allow Zack to kill her, and the fact that he wants to bury her as a sign of his "love" makes the whole thing questionable.
190	* ArcVillain: He is the antagonist of the B4 arc as the master of floor B4 who tries to kill Ray and Zack.
191	* AxCrazy: When he decided to kill Rachel despite her rejecting his proposal, his insanity shows why he’s a resident in the Tower.
192	* BloodFromTheMouth: After Zack deals the final blow, this happens to him as he’s dying.
193	* CreepyChild: Even before coming to the tower, he was shown to be a very troubled and unstable child.
194	* CuteAndPsycho: At first appears to be a cheerful and talkative child but comes off as unsettling due to his job as the Tower’s grave-keeper and his unhealthy infatuation with Rachel.
195	* DyingDeclarationOfLove: He confesses his love to Rachel before succumbing to the wounds he received from Zack.
196	* EntitledToHaveYou: Eddie's sweet on Rachel, but she just doesn't feel the same way about him and wanting Zack to kill her instead of Eddie under admittedly questionable logic. During the hallucinatory trial, he outright claims Rachel wronged him by refusing to return his feelings, and [[ObliviousToTheirOwnDescription repeatedly calls her someone selfish who doesn't respect other people's feelings]].
197	* EvenEvilHasStandards: He may be a SerialKiller and (possible) necrophiliac, but, as a gravedigger, neither he nor Shin like grave-robbers. When one does appear in ''Episode 0'', they go after him.
198	* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Cannot understand why Rachel would choose Zack over himself to be her murderer, constantly bringing up his love for her and how he wants to keep her beautiful in death. Of course, [[SubvertedTrope it turns out "good" might be a bit of a stretch]].
199	* ExpressiveMask: Not so much in his initial appearances, but during the trial later on, his hallucinatory self often shows a lot more emotion with the creepy sack-mask, including smiling and frowning with the mask's "mouth" and even blushing while gushing about what he likes about Rachel.
200	* FamilyBusiness: In the manga, Eddie's backstory is expanded upon when it goes into how he was in a family of grave-keepers.
201	* FriendToAllLivingThings: In the past has shown a love for animals that showed he wasn’t always scary or hostile. Until he decided he wanted to keep what belonged to him by killing and burying them.
202	* FlowerMotif: Red Poppies. [[note]]''Eternal sleep, consolation for a loss or death in the family, oblivion, and remembrance.''[[/note]]
203	** He leaves these flowers for Rachel to find with his letters in the anime.
204	* FreudianExcuse: He grew up in a large family where his hard work as a gravedigger was overlooked in favor of his elder brother Albert, who [[BigBrotherBully regularly used him as a literal punching bag]]. Likewise, he rarely gets anything of his own, constantly ending up with his elder brother's hand-me-downs. This resentment leads to him viewing the family pets he buries as the only thing he can really call his own once they're buried in graves of his making. After Albert kills one of the family pets and Eddie finds no pleasure in burying it like he has all the others, he realizes that since Albert was the one to have the animal's last moments then Eddie couldn't call the pet his own. With this in mind he decides to save the rest of the family pets from Albert by killing them and burying them. He found such pleasure in making them his in this way that he eventually turned to people too.
205	* GigglingVillain: Likes to laugh while following Rachel and when he's mocking Zack for being so violent and brutish.
206	* GreenEyedMonster: Literal example. He has green eyes and is extremely jealous that Ray has chosen to give her life to Zack instead of him, frequently bashing Zack for it.
207	* KarmicDeath: Dies by Zack's hand and buried by having a giant gravestone dropped on top of him.
208	* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7XID587_B8&index=5&list=PLyP_r3HDsyhVN9xW9lOsP21THqlO8M8CG Unfathomable Situation]].
209	* LoveAtFirstSight: Claims to have this happened to him when he sees Rachel for the first time. He likes her because of her angelic voice, her wish to die (which corresponds with his job as a gravekeeper) and the fact that they are around the same age.
210	* MalevolentMaskedMen: He's always seen wearing a helmet that masks his entire face (at least in the game - his face is shown in the anime, manga and the game adaptation of his backstory, in many cases once he's dead or dying).
211	* MeaningfulName: Eddie '''''Mason's''''' job and hobby is shaping headstones, like a stonemason. Also, "Edward" have for meaning "protector" or "guardian", like he does for his graves.
212	* MiddleChildSyndrome: In the manga and ''Episode.Eddie'', he is shown to be the third-oldest child in a family with four sons. He expresses discontent at having to be one when he is only given hand-me-downs by his older brothers and has to give up his own belongings to the youngest. He also knew that his family would never allow him to take over their grave-digging business, no matter how good he was, just because he wasn't the eldest.
213	* OffscreenTeleportation: Has this ability when fighting against Zack and following Rachel on his floor, mostly because he can move around in the dark easily without having his vision impaired.
214	* PuppyLove: He is head over heels in love with Rachel. Which is not a good thing.
215	* ScarfOfAsskicking: Wears a red scarf at all times throughout his appearance.
216	* SerialKiller: Even before he became a floor master, he would kill people and animals he liked and stuff them inside graves he made.
217	* ShovelStrike: His main weapon as well as his tool as a gravedigger.
218	* SignificantGreenEyedRedHead: In the anime, he is revealed to be this when Zack attacks and unmasks him before killing him. It's also shown in ''Episode.Eddie'' that all of his brothers were red heads as well.
219	* StalkerWithACrush: He's deeply in love with Rachel, wanting to kill her out of love. He even prepared a grand gravestone/burial just for her, while making a half-assed job at Zack's "grave", which is just a big stone above a hastily dug hole.
220	* StarterVillain: Aside from Zack and Danny, who briefly antagonize Rachel in the beginning, he is the first major antagonist that Ray and Zack must deal with.
221	* TenderTears: Cries in frustration when Rachel refuses to let him kill her and doesn’t understand why she chose Zack over him.
222	* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: He wants to kill Rachel, like all the floor masters in the building. He also started killing his pets and a childhood friend, just to put them under his graves.
223	* TheUnReveal: In the game, you never see what is under the mask. Averted in the manga and anime, where he is revealed as a redheaded boy with YouthfulFreckles.
224	* VillainousBreakdown: When Rachel tells him for the last time that she will never be his, he really starts ranting and raving about [[{{Yandere}} his love for her]] and [[GreenEyedMonster hurling insults at Zack]], whom Rachel says she would prefer to be killed by.
225	* VillainousCrush: Has one for Rachel. In the manga, he met a young girl he liked, but killed her in order to keep her from 'being taken from him'.
226	* WeakButSkilled: His strength is dwarfed when compared to Zack, but he makes good use of his floor by being able to see in the dark and dodge with his agility and can use his shovel as an ImprovisedWeapon.
227	* {{Yandere}}: Has an obsession with Rachel and watched her from the cameras for a while. He even made a grave for her long before the two of them actually met.
228	* YouthfulFreckles: Shown in the manga and ''Episode.Eddie''. He is embarrassed to show them or his red hair to anyone, worrying he'll be made fun of for it.

241	A former prison guard and the B3 floor master. She enjoys employing deadly contraptions and mechanisms to test and torture those who come to the Tower.
242	----
243	* TheAce: When she was younger. She was a popular queen bee type with the money, looks, and smarts to back it up. However, even then there was something really off about her.
244	* AlphaBitch: In her school years, she was the popular girl with a GirlPosse who used them to bully others. Uniquely, she actually had a rival AlphaBitch with her own GirlPosse.
245	* AnnoyingLaugh: One of Cathy's defining traits is her shrill giggle whenever something is going right for her. It really grates on Zack's nerves.
246	* ArcVillainess: She is the antagonist of the B3 arc as the master of floor B3 who tries to kill Ray and Zack.
247	* BeautyIsBad: Has an elegant and feminine appearance that sharply contrasts with her vicious and unstable attitude towards anyone she deems a 'sinner'.
248	* CruelMercy: She offers to spare those who make it to her floor, letting them live, if they become her prisoners for the rest of their lives. Even back in her job as a jailer, she intentionally avoided killing her prisoners, preferring to keep them alive so she could torment them more.
249	* ChildhoodFriend: Her backstory in the manga is presented from the point of view of a girl named Lucy who Cathy knew from childhood and was utterly obsessed with her. They even became prison wardens together at the same institution and Lucy committed any punishment Cathy asked of her. Sadly, for Lucy, [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness Cathy had no qualms about also punishing her for her sins]].
250	* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: Her parents were both doctors and apparently loved her and spoiled her, up until they were murdered by a relative of a failed patient. Averted in that Cathy is shown to not be affected by their death and still acts the same.
251	* TheDragon: To Doctor Danny, as she aided him in finding killers for the Tower and helps his plans however she can.
252	* {{Deuteragonist}}: Of the prequel manga, ''Episode 0''. She is Danny's friend and TheDragon to him who helps him recruit killers for the Tower.
253	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Subverted in regard to her parents; when they were murdered, she felt nothing. As for Lucy, she claims to love her but is willing to brutally murder her precisely because she loves her, so her 'love' only ''emphasizes'' her cruelty.
254	* EvilOrphan: Even when her parents died, she showed no emotion towards the news. Instead, she focused on eradicating those she considered evil.
255	* FairPlayVillain: Gives Zack and Rachel the option of escaping a gas-chambered room by allowing them to use a key card to open the door. Until Zack accidentally breaks it in a fit of anger- then she mocks them for it.
256	* TheFundamentalist: She is absolutely convinced that she is a righteous woman of God and that all who oppose her are sinners who deserve torture and/or a slow, painful death.
257	* GameShowHost: Cathy acts like a giddy host and condemner to the main characters. She sometimes offers commentary while they try to get past through her trap-filled floor.
258	* GigglingVillain: Her evil laugh is a shrill giggle. Naturally, Zack considers it an AnnoyingLaugh.
259	* InterplayOfSexAndViolence: Cathy seems to get a sexual thrill out of torturing and killing people. In ''Episode 0'', when asked by Danny why she hasn't killed anyone yet with her own hand, Cathy responded by explaining that she treasures her "virginity" and want her "first time" to be someone truly special to her.
260	* TheJailer: Her job in the tower is to imprison sinners who make it to her floor, and she structures her floor like a prison.
261	* KnightTemplar: She believes herself to be a holy woman who brings judgement upon sinners, but in practice she is simply a self-righteous sadist and torturer.
262	* {{Leitmotif}}: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMeM_iKY4BU The Garden of Roses]]" plays whenever she makes an appearance.
263	* MeaningfulName: Cathy '''''Ward''''' was a prison guard and has modeled her floor as a prison with herself as the warden.
264	* {{Sadist}}: She actively takes pleasure in torturing sinners. In the anime, she intentionally triggers Zack's PTSD by forcing him to do a puzzle based on his abusive childhood and mocks him all the while.
265	* SchoolyardBullyAllGrownUp: In school, she was an AlphaBitch (albeit a murderous one). When she grew up, she became a sadistic prison guard dedicated to torturing her prisoners, then was recruited into becoming a floor master, wherein she would host a DeadlyGame and force anyone who arrived at it.
266	* SerialKiller: After killing Lucy and becoming a floor master, she began killing those who entered her floor and did not take her offer to be eternal prisoners.
267	* TechnicallyLivingZombie: Her floor is full of "lost souls" locked up in cells that seem to be kind of still alive, but withered and shriveled to the point that Zack literally stomps one of their hands off when it tries to grab Rachel.
268	* TooKinkyToTorture: The few times that someone has tried to torment her (for instance, some vengeful prisoners dropping blood on her), she reacts with ecstasy.
269	* TortureTechnician: Unlike the other floor masters, Cathy goes out of her way to force her victims through torture (such as an electric chair), and she was infamous back in the prison she worked at for her love of tormenting the prisoners.
270	* VillainousBreakdown: When Zack [[HeroicSacrifice turns his scythe on himself instead of Rachel]], she grows furious that she will never get the opportunity to punish Zack and prepares to give Rachel an extra painful death to compensate. Then Rachel shoots her, and Zack cuts her up, and she completely loses it.
271	* VillainHasAPoint: [[spoiler: Her hallucinatory self during the trial]], with the tone of a parent calmly and patiently talking to a child throwing a tantrum, tells [[NotGoodWithRejection Eddie]] that "Rejection is a part of life" while he rants about Rachel spurning his affections and only letting Zack kill her.
272	* WardensAreEvil: In both her official position as a prison guard and her job as the jailer of the Tower, she sadistically tortures her prisoners for sexual thrill.
273	* WouldHurtAChild: She does not show any mercy in her challenges to Rachel, and not only slaps Ray after Zack stabs himself, but then shoots her hand and prepares to kill her.
274	* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Part of the reason why she killed Lucy was because Lucy had committed too many sins to be left alive. The other reason was that she wanted her first kill to be someone she cared about.

287	A former reverend and the B2 floor master, as well as the master of the whole tower. He created the Tower as an experiment to make himself into a god of sorts.
288	----
289	* AffablyEvil: While judgmental, he's actually very cordial to Ray. He's also the only person in the Tower who isn't actively trying to kill her.
290	* ArcVillain: He is the antagonist of the B2 arc as the master of floor B2 who makes Ray traverse his floor in exchange for medicine Zack needs, before trying to judge and burn her at the stake.
291	* BigDamnHeroes: When Danny shoots and nearly killed both Rachel and Zack during their escape from the facility they were trapped in, Gray comes in, shoots Danny with an arrow, and helps Ray and Zack escape with their lives. It is also implied that he called the police so that Ray could get to a hospital.
292	* BurnTheWitch: Sets up a court to have Rachel condemned as a witch and then having her promptly burned at the cross.
293	* AGodAmI: Downplayed. The whole reason the Tower exists is that he wanted to be "God's eyes on Earth" and judge those that come to the Tower.
294	* GreaterScopeVillain: He is the one who created the Tower, which he runs. However, he is very hands off, mostly never directly antagonizes Rachel and Zack until the B2 arc, and even helps them at points. His right-hand man, Doctor Danny, is the BigBad.
295	* MasterOfIllusion: He's able to induce illusions upon Rachel using some kind of strange gas.
296	* OddNameOut: He is the only one with a nickname consisting of one syllable and refers to his last name instead of his first.
297	* OrcusOnHisThrone: He is the master of the Tower, but mainly leads the killing to [[DragonInChief Danny]] and the others, since he's observing what goes on.
298	* ProphetEyes: His perhaps most immediately striking feature is his completely blank eyes.
299	* SinisterMinister: He is the one who created the Tower, a place where people are to be judged by his murderous, psychotic subordinates.
300	* WalkingSpoiler: Though initially appearing to be just the B2 floor master, he is the GreaterScopeVillain as the reason the Tower exists.
301	* MeaningfulName: His first name coming to mean 'father of many'.

308	* AssholeVictim: Shed not a tear for these wastes of human flesh.

311	* AwfulWeddedLife: They are absolutely miserable together, and often say to each other that their marriage was the worst decision they ever made.

313	* HateSink: The two of them are horrible abusive parents who severely mistreated their daughter and each other and Rachel's father makes it clear that he has no problem with killing her after she witnesses him killing her mother. Needless to say, nobody is going to be crying for these two.

332	* CreepyTwins: They are a pair of killers with identical creepy faces and similar interests.
333	* DoomedByCanon: The surviving twin was originally supposed to be the floor master of the 3rd floor. Given how he was replaced by Eddie with no mentions in the game, it's safe to assume he's no longer around.
334	** In the official ''Angels of Death'' guidebook, it is explained that while working on one of his furniture, Shin hurt his hand by accident, causing his blood to stain the furniture. Seeing the beauty in the furniture stained by his own blood, Shin used his own body as ingredients to make the furniture without a care of his own body, which resulted with his death.
