20
21	Elliot's psychiatrist and therapist, whom he's forced to see by a court for anger management.
22	----
23	* ActionSurvivor: [[spoiler: One of the few characters directly tied to Elliot who make it to the end of the series.]]
24	* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Elliot believes this in regards to Krista's boyfriend, Lenny Shannon. [[spoiler: Averted in season four with her new beau, who appears to be a decent guy.]]
25	* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: [[spoiler: After saving Elliot from Vera, Krista is grateful of Elliot being protective towards her and in return offers words of encouragement to him and mends their friendship.]]
26	* TheConfidant: Zig-zagged. As Elliot's therapist, she is one of the few individuals in his life who knows the most about his internal struggles. While Elliot tries to keep his hacking exploits from her, it all comes spilling out when he admits that he hacks other people out of a need to connect with others, including Krista. Naturally, she is rather disturbed by this revelation, and initially stops seeing him as a client. However, Elliot's imprisonment for blackmailing Lenny Shannon makes her have a change of heart under the condition that he be fully honest with her going forward. Eventually, Elliot allows her to "meet" Mr. Robot, who ultimately spills the beans to Krista about his engineering of the Five/Nine hack. This ends up frightening Krista once more, and she tries to report the confession, but to no avail. [[spoiler: In season four, she is so afraid of Elliot that she threatens legal action against him if he tries to approach her again.]] This dynamic ends up changing one last time when [[spoiler: she helps Elliot remember the sexual abuse he endured as a child, and she finally comes to realize that she legitimately cares for him.]]
27	* CovertPervert: One thing Elliot mentions he learned from hacking her is that she watches a lot of anal porn.
28	* HatesBeingAlone: Her [[FreezeFrameBonus dating profile]] makes her abandonment issues quite clear. She doesn't care how a prospective partner treats her, only that they don't leave:
29	--> ''[[{{Tearjerker}} All I ask from you is that you come home. It doesn't matter when just as long as you come home. Come home.]]''
30	* MinorMajorCharacter: Krista isn't as well-developed as other supporting characters, receiving very little screen time outside of her sessions with Elliot. Despite this, she has proven to be one of only several supporting characters who actually, well, ''support'' him and know the most about what is going on in his life.
31	* MrExposition: Of a sort. Most of her sessions with Elliot serve as small intermissions where we learn about his current mental state and outlook on the plot progression.
32	* NervesOfSteel: Downplayed, but when [[spoiler: she manages to draw out Mr. Robot -- a SplitPersonality whom she knows is unstable and potentially dangerous -- and he starts trying to intimidate her]], she remains calm until the situation ends, even when he gets within mere ''inches'' of her face. [[spoiler: With Vera however, this completely vanishes, till the time Vera is distracted with Elliot.]]
33	* ParentalAbandonment: Her father abandoned her when she was a teenager.
34	* TheShrink: She's Elliot's therapist. However, her advice isn't particularly helpful to him.
35	* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler: Went from a terrified hostage to killing her hostage taker by stabbing him in the back]].

44	* AssholeVictim: He's made to be unlikable so that nobody will feel bad for him when Elliot blackmails him into telling Krista the truth and giving away Flipper.
45	* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:He's the reason Elliot is in prison for the first half of season 2.]]
46	* HateSink: He's cheating on his wife with seven different women and [[KickTheDog abuses Flipper]] in his first appearance. He later lies to Krista and tells her he's dying so he could tell her about Elliot.
47	* NeverMyFault: He blames Elliot for his life falling apart, rather than himself for being an adulterous asshole.

56
57	Elliot's next door neighbour and drug dealer. Her drugs are supplied by Fernando Vera.
58	----
59	* AmbiguouslyBi: Dates Vera and Elliot but also initiates a searing kiss with Angela, something that is never addresses again.
60	* BettyAndVeronica: Plays Veronica to Angela's Betty. She wins out. [[SacrificialLamb Briefly.]]
61	* [[DeathByWomanScorned Death By Man Scorned]]: She got killed by Vera when he found out that Elliot was the one who put him behind bars.
62	* DecoyProtagonist: She's built up to be a main character and Elliot's love interest throughout season 1... only for her to be killed by Vera halfway through.
63	* HopeSpot: Shayla's escaped from her abusive relationship with Vera, stopped dealing drugs, managed to get a job as a waitress, and seems to have a budding relationship with Elliot right before she ends up getting [[StuffedInTheFridge kidnapped and killed]].
64	* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Shows shades of this in flashbacks. She makes it clear that she aims to be "extraordinary" in Elliot's eyes, gives him his pet fish, offers to get him the drugs he asks for, and invites herself over to his apartment to socialize.
65	* NiceGirl: While sometimes short with Elliot, she is genuinely sweet and friendly. This is best demonstrated when she takes him to Coney Island for their first date, knowing he had childhood memories there, and her encouraging talk with Angela while the two were tripping.
66	* RapeAsDrama: [[spoiler: Vera has been drugging and raping her.]] This is what leads to Elliot tipping off the cops about him.
67	* SacrificialLamb: She's developed as Elliot's love interest and a main character for over half of the first season prior to her death, and Vera's murder of her sends Elliot's mental health spiraling downward and signals the start of the season's final act, as well as being the first major character to die in the series.

77
78	An account manager working for the Deus Group at Cyprus National Bank. She is a single mother and former opiate addict whom Elliot [[spoiler: becomes romantically involved with]].
79	----
80	* BirdsOfAFeather: Bordering on DistaffCounterpart. She and Elliot immediately identify with each other because of their shared history of family trauma, drug addiction, self-hatred and loneliness. And like Elliot in the beginning, she works for a business that shields a shadowy evil organization.
81	* BrainyBrunette: She has gained a very important position at Cyprus National Bank through hard work and determination.
82	* HeelRealization: [[spoiler: When Elliot makes her realize that she's working for the people responsible for her mother's death (as well as her subsequent descent into drug addiction).]]
83	* KickTheDog: In order to manipulate her into helping him hack her employers, [[spoiler: Elliot uses her history as an addict to threaten her fight for custody of her son.]]
84	* LoveInterest: [[spoiler: Is teased as one for Elliot. Sadly, it does not last.]]
85	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler: It's never known what happened to her after the incident nor is it ever brought up again by any of the characters.]]
86	* YankTheDogsChain: Initially, Elliot plans to use her personal demons as leverage to force her to aid his agenda, but Mr. Robot suggests a more delicate approach. [[spoiler: Elliot and Olivia end up sleeping with each other, and it seems he was able to get what he needed without hurting her. However, circumstances force him to proceed with his original plan not long after. She is as devastated by his betrayal as she is the violation.]]

97
98	Darlene and Elliot's late father, and the man Elliot based Mr. Robot on. He use to work for E Corp, then was fired, then started his own computer repair business called "Mr. Robot", then died of leukemia thanks to a project he worked on at E Corp.
99	----
100	* AmbiguousSituation: At the start of Season 3, [[spoiler: Whiterose heavily implies that Edward worked for her in some capacity and that Elliot is just continuing on his work. It is later revealed Edward had worked at the Washington Township plant, where Whiterose's machine was located.]]
101	* AbusiveParents: In earlier seasons, was implied to have pushed Elliot out of a window. [[spoiler: He actually molested Elliot, and possibly Darlene (and maybe even Angela) as a child. Mr Robot was created to protect Elliot from this truth. In reality, the window incident was Mr Robot taking over, hiding Darlene in a closet, swinging a bat to protect Elliot from Edward and finally Elliot jumping from the window to try to escape from his sexually abusive father the only way he knew how.]]
102	* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: What he actually is. As a pedophilic monster, he hardly deserved to be mourned for dying of cancer.]]
103	* HenpeckedHusband: It is strongly implied that he was very submissive to Magda, since he did not intervene while she regularly abused Elliot and Darlene, likely overwhelmed by her violent, manic tendencies. From what little we see of their relationship in flashbacks, Magda held her husband in open contempt. [[spoiler: Which might make a bit more sense after we learn that he was molesting Elliot.]]
104	* MrFixit: Used to be a computer repairman.
105	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In the movie theater flashback in 'don't delete me', young Elliot is unresponsive to his father's attempts to bond with him shortly after the window incident. Desperate and dying, Edward apologizes to Elliot and asks for his forgiveness, but Elliot didn't forgive him. [[spoiler: With the Season 4 reveal in mind, it becomes clear that he was really begging forgiveness from the son he sexually abused. He realized that his actions irreparably damaged his son and destroyed their relationship.]]
106	* ParentsAsPeople: [[spoiler: Until Season 4]], most of the information we had about Edward was unreliable. He might have been a good parent to Elliot and Darlene, but he might have pushed Elliot out a window when Elliot told his wife he had leukemia, but he might not have, or he might have because he was that afraid of his wife. [[spoiler: Until Darlene clarifies in "Shutdown" that he didn't -- Elliot smashed the window and jumped during a psychotic break, and simply blamed his father for it for the rest of his life. In Season 4, however, we learn the disturbing truth - the window incident was Mr Robot taking over to protect Elliot, while he desperately tried to protect himself from his sexually abusive father.]]
107	* PosthumousCharacter: Died twenty years before the series started.
108	* SmallRoleBigImpact: He's a PosthumousCharacter only seen in a few flashbacks, but his death is the reason for Elliot's passionate hatred of E Corp and marked the turning point for his [[SanitySlippage mental instability]]. Elliot also based the Mr. Robot persona on him, which becomes more apparent when Mr. Robot takes on fatherly aspects in the second season - [[spoiler: Takes on a darker meaning when we find out that the reason Elliot based Mr Robot on his father was because he wanted him to be what his father should have been - instead of a depraved man who sexually abused his own children. This is what led to a great deal of Elliot’s mental instability.]].

117
118	Darlene and Elliot's mother. She lost her husband to cancer twenty years ago.
119	----
120	* AbusiveParents: Shown being physically and emotionally abusive to Elliot, and it's implied that she was no different to Darlene. The book reveals that she once gave Darlene a face full of bruises and a bloody lip for running away.
121	* AssholeVictim: Kinda fits into this considering she abused both of her children after her husband's death [[spoiler: and most likely did nothing to prevent her husband from sexually abusing Elliot (and possibly Darlene)]].
122	* CigaretteBurns: Puts a cigarette out on Darlene's arm in Elliot's dream.
123	* HatesBeingTouched: In the opening flashback in season two, she reacts venomously when Edward puts his hand on her shoulder as a comforting gesture, swatting it away and telling him not to touch her.
124	* KickTheDog: Or drown the cat, as it may be. In the book, Elliot recounts that his mother staunchly refused to let her children have any pets, much to Darlene's chagrin. When their neighbour's cat had kittens, Darlene secretly took one home and kept it as an outdoor cat, naming it Moon Pie. One day, their mother drove them out to a lake and handed Darlene a sack with Moon Pie in it. She then told Darlene to tie the bag up and throw it in the lake. Darlene refused and ran away for three days, only returning once she had safely given the cat to an elderly neighbour. Her mother reacted by beating her badly enough to make her bleed. It's implied this event made Darlene hate their mother worse than Elliot.
125	* OralFixation: In flashbacks she's constantly seen smoking, even at the dinner table.
126	* PetTheDog: After her death, Elliot and Darlene find a recording she kept that her children and Angela made for Angela's mother's birthday where young Elliot and Darlene say they love Angela's mother, indicating she wished it was about her and regretted her relationship with her children was so terrible.

138
139	A charming, but enigmatic man who meets Elliot at a basketball game early in the second season. He asks Elliot to help him with cyber security troubles related to his online business, but Elliot knows he isn't telling all of the story. He's actually the warden of Elliot's prison, and is using his head guard and a few abused prisoners to run an illegal trafficking site for him.
140	----
141	* AffablyEvil: Constantly pleasant and friendly, even when he's talking to someone who pisses him off, but he is in charge of a Silk Road-style trafficking website that he's willing to have his enforcers beat and kill people to protect.
142	* ArcVillain: The main villain of Elliot's prison arc.
143	* BigFun: A larger man, but very friendly and charming. [[BewareTheNiceOnes At least on the surface.]]
144	* DeadPersonConversation: To deal with his wife's passing, he holds imaginary conversations with her at the dinner table.
145	* {{Expy}}: Of Ross Ulbricht, the man who founded the Silk Road online black market. Aside from their business similarities, they have similar logos and site layouts, and both go / went by the username [[Film/ThePrincessBride Dread Pirate Roberts]]. In fact, there are strong hints that Ray is meant to be the still-unidentified second "Dread Pirate Roberts" who restarted Silk Road after Ulbricht's arrest.
146	** The reveal of his identity also makes him one for [[WardensAreEvil Warden Norton]] in ''Film/TheShawshankRedemption'', a seemingly trusted prison warden who's really using his chief guard and abusing prisoners to help him run an illegal operation. Ray is significantly more AffablyEvil than Norton, however, and [[KnowWhenToFoldEm willingly goes with the police]] when Elliot brings them down on him.
147	* FriendlyEnemy: While technically an antagonist, Heyworth is nothing but friendly to Elliot. [[AffablyEvil This is never a façade either.]]
148	* HeelFaceTurn: Lets himself get caught for his crimes and allows Elliot to go free.
149	* HeelRealisation: He only looks into what his website is hosting after coming into contact with Elliot. The guilt of this drives him into letting Elliot get him busted.
150	* KnowWhenToFoldEm: When he realizes Elliot has informed the police of his crimes, he calmly lets Elliot leave and surrenders to the authorities, implicitly overcome with guilt over what happened on his website.
151	* MeaningfulName: R. Heyworth, as in ''Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption''.
152	* MysteriousStranger: He first appears without warning in Elliot's life and displays qualities that make Elliot both drawn to and wary of him. We learn nothing about his past or his enigmatic Bitcoin-based business for several episodes, leaving him a total enigma. He's ultimately revealed to be the mastermind behind a profitable black market website dealing in human and child trafficking, drugs, arms dealing, and hitmen, as well as the warden of the prison Elliot resides in.
153	* PragmaticVillainy: After his former IT guy (whom Ray has already had beaten up) tells him he can't do the site migration Ray wants, Ray's enforcer offers to beat him up again, but Ray tells him there's no point if the man just doesn't know how to do it.
154	* WalkingSpoiler: Once his business is revealed in "Logic Bomb", discussing him becomes much more difficult without spoiling things. Even more so when he's revealed to be the warden of the prison.
155	* WardensAreEvil: He's the warden of the prison Elliot gets sent to, and has been running an illegal site and violently beating prisoners for not helping him.

191	The local pyromaniac, whom Elliot strikes up a somewhat shaky friendship with during their time in jail.
192	----
193	* AscendedExtra: Gets no lines and plays a very small role in the show, but her annotations make up a sizable amount of the book on top of the more intimate focus on her backstory.
194	* {{Bookworm}}: As she says, "books are kinda my thing."
195	* {{Deuteragonist}}: Of the book. She's one of the first people Elliot meets in prison, and both Elliot's entries and her own annotations give her a pretty significant role in the story.
196	* EarnYourHappyEnding: After going through [[RapeAsDrama numerous abuses]] that Elliot only sees a fraction of, she's released from the prison while her prime tormentor lands himself a longer sentence. Her final annotation implies that she's heading somewhere nicer and that Elliot is free to come find her if he ever wants to.
197	* TheIdealist: Downplayed, but this shows in her annotations. Despite her poor treatment, she tends to look for the goodness in people and has a quote that directly references, but opposes, a quote of Elliot's: "My secret? I look for the best in people."
198	* MeaningfulRename: When she transitioned, she chose the name 'Carla' after her mother's old hairdresser, who was the first person to treat her like a woman and took her in when she was kicked out of her home.
199	* PyroManiac: She tends to burn books when she finishes reading them. This is also the reason she went to prison in the first place: she set fire to the car of a man who was harassing her in a club, and accidentally started a chain reaction that destroyed ''twelve'' cars. She was too transfixed by the flames to make a run for it, and was arrested when the harasser pointed her out to the police.
200	* ReplacementGoldfish: It’s implied that Elliot sees her as one for Shayla. Mr. Robot even calls him out on getting too involved with her and her issues the same way he did with Shayla.
201	* RapeAsDrama: Subjected to this repeatedly in prison.
202	* TransTribulations: She's a transgender woman. Her parents kicked out her out of the house when they found out.
203	* WhatTheHellHero: She calls Elliot out after he spreads the rumour that she has an STD around the prison. He did it to prevent the other inmates from harassing and sexually assaulting her (as they had done in the past), but he didn't consider the humiliation and alienation she would feel as a result.

[[spoiler: His one PetTheDog moment is trying to protect Dom from Irving when he thinks she is about to be executed, only to end up being killed himself due to no longer being useful to the dark army. The audience won't necessarily cry over his death, but there is some (slight) sympathy]]. Overall however, his death is arguably one of the more satisfying.
258	* BadLiar: [[spoiler: He can hold up his facade easily, but as soon as anyone starts [[PullTheThread persistently questioning him]], he visibly panics and poorly deflects to another issue or action. This tips Dom off that he's not what he seems, and ends up leading to her and Norm busting the Red Wheelbarrow restaurant against his orders.]]

261	* DirtyCoward: [[spoiler: tipped off the Dark Army about his colleagues location while in China and hid in his hotel room while they were being shot up just a few floors below.]] Dom promptly chews him out for this once she discovers he’s TheMole.
262	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: [[spoiler: He’s shown phoning his mother several times, and risks angering the Dark Army by warning her not to leave her house on the day of the attacks. He also implies that the reason he became TheMole in the first place is because the Dark Army threatened to hurt his family if he didn’t.]]

333
334	A repugnant gangster with a penchant for philosophy who specializes in drug trafficking and murder.
335	----
336	* AmbiguouslyBi: [[PlayedForHorror Played extremely for Horror]] when he was introduced, he was obsessed with Shayla, but after he got bored of her and had her killed, [[spoiler: he moved on his creepy obsession to Elliot, which completely depicts him as a murderous {{Yandere}} for him.]]
337	* AllegoricalCharacter: Of Toxic Masculinity, Stalking Behaviour, Domestic Abuse, Incels and Rape Culture.
338	* ArchEnemy: While Elliot has made quite a few enemies both within and without the Dark Army, Vera is the one individual who has dealt the most emotional damage to Elliot in the long run by having Shayla murdered, outsmarting him in the process, ''and'' getting away with it all. In season 4, Vera is back but wants [[spoiler: Elliot to start working for him]].
339	* ARealManIsAKiller: Unlike Tyrell, who panicked after accidentally killing Sharon and felt guilty for giving Elliot a gutshot, Vera is willing to murder anyone who gets in his way without hesitation. Be it his ex Shayla, his brother Isaac and his henchman D.J..
340	* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: Considering all he's done, it's hard to feel sympathy for him when he's killed by Krista of all people]].
341	* AxCrazy: Vera has zero qualms about murder, nor murder by proxy. He even orders the assassination of ''his own brother'' and reacts with what can only be described as '''vague disappointment''':
342	--> '''Vera:''' ''"DJ, shoot the cocksucker."''
343	--> ''(DJ complies with a BoomHeadshot)''
344	--> ''((Beat)''
345	--> ''Vera: ''Huh. [[EtTuBrute My own brother.]]''
346	* BigBadEnsemble: [[spoiler: With Whiterose and the Dark Army in season 4.]]
347	* BigBadWannabe: His poorly thought out plot to take over New York and become "king."
348	* TheCaligula: Him taking over his home country Dominican Republic and planning to "take over" New York next makes him this trope.
349	* CommonalityConnection: A much darker example of this trope. [[spoiler: Vera tries to invoke this and use it as a reason as to why he and Elliot are meant to be partners, due to their shared history of depression and child sexual abuse.]]
350	* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of the [[LikableVillain Likable]] Sociopathic [[VillainProtagonist Protagonist]] trope and the TroubledAbuser. While other villains like Tyrell, Joanna, Irving and Leon were beloved despite their actions, Vera was shown to be extremely despicable and a sadistic rapist. His "charms" and philosophical knowledge weren't going to change the fact that he was nothing but a sociopathic monster who was willing to hurt anyone in his way. And then there is the fact that the reason why he is a constant abuser and rapist is because he himself was sexually abused as a child like Elliot, [[FreudianExcuseisNoExcuse but it's not portrayed as sympathetic]] and it's left ambiguous whether or not it was true. That's why it was scary when some of the fans took a [[DracoInLeatherPants liking to him]] and supported him at the end of "Proxy Authentication Required" and were willing to brush off the fact that he raped and killed Shayla, molested Krista and psychologically abused Elliot.
351	* EntitledToHaveYou: [[spoiler: In the most creepy and unsettling manner. But just because he and Elliot are "connected", that means that they are meant to be partners, no matter what.]]
352	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: While he is unnamed at the time, our first look at Vera is him rather obnoxiously trying to proposition Shayla for a "date," establishing him as a lecher with no respect for boundaries. His second appearance more explicitly shows us that Vera is a scumbag beyond reproach when it is implied that he sexually assaulted Shayla.
353	* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]], while he seems to sympathize with Elliot after forcing Krista to reveal [[spoiler:that Elliot's father molested him.]] Vera had previously stated his intentions to break Elliot so he could be subservient to him, meaning this was all an act to [[{{Gaslighting}} gaslight]] Elliot into thinking Vera is his savior. [[spoiler:It's also left ambiguous if Vera's [[UnreliableNarrator lying or not]] about being raped himself.]]
354	* EvilCounterpart: Vera likes to think that he is the yin to Elliot's yang, despite his inferior technological abilities. [[spoiler: He later recognizes this discrepancy and tries to force Elliot into a criminal partnership, intent on making use of Elliot's hacking prowess.]]
355	* {{Expy}}: Probably for [[Characters/MCUKevinThompson Kilgrave]] from ''Series/JessicaJones2015''. Both are sadistic villains who are obsessed with the [[BrokenBird psychologically damaged]] vigilante heroes, are abusive to women and [[spoiler: use manipulation to break and control the heroes]].
356	** Even for David [=McCall=] from ''Film/Fear1996''. Both are AxCrazy "bad boy" villains who become obsessed with the good guy/girl heroes and even try to kill or molest the people closest to them (Margo and Krista), and [[spoiler: the climaxes in both media involve them and their gang breaking into their houses with the intention of killing the said loved ones and taking the protagonist with them. And both the villains get stabbed InTheBack with a ChekhovsGun.]]
357	** There's also Drexl Spivey from ''Film/TrueRomance'' (coincidentally or not another Creator/ChristianSlater vehicle). Like him, Vera is a self-regarding dealer/pimp fascinated by the hero, who [[ForTheEvulz casually]] murders his own associates. Also like Drexl, Vera has the hero's love interest under his thumb. [[spoiler: Shayla isn't as lucky as Alabama was.]]
358	* {{Foil}}: Of Tyrell, albeit more deadly and successful than him. Both are powerful individuals who become obsessed with Elliot. But while Tyrell only wants adoration and permission from Elliot, [[spoiler: Vera doesn't take no for an answer and marks his territory on him whether he likes it or not. Notice how Tyrell takes Elliot's rejection of working at E Corp gracefully, whilst Vera doesn't take [[NotGoodWithRejection the rejection]] well and forces Elliot to be his partner, whether by hurting Krista or exploiting his childhood trauma.]]
359	** And surprisingly, for Whiterose as well. [[spoiler: Both are powerful individuals who serve as TheChessmaster in manipulating everyone around them, even the people in the highest positions to get up to the top and they have their minions killed for outliving their usefulness. But while Whiterose has a sympathetic reason as to why she does all this, which is to bring back her dead boyfriend and wanting LGBTQ+ people like her accepted, Vera has no reason as to why he is doing all of this other than the fact he does it because he enjoys inflicting pain and suffering on others.]]
360	** To Elliot. [[spoiler: Both characters suffered through the same trauma - both were sexually abused as children. However, whereas Elliot internalised his pain and sought to take down all the evil that surrounded him so no-one else had to suffer through that kind of pain, Vera externalised his pain and caused others to suffer through the same kind of pain - notably, the first time we meet Vera, he’s sexually abusing Shayla, whereas Elliot swears to take him down because of this. The connection he feels with Elliot is the similar trauma of CSA.]]
361	* FauxAffablyEvil: Tries to come off as spiritually enlightened and willing to share camaraderie with Elliot based on their mutual struggles with self-hatred, but in his final appearance, Vera has Shayla murdered and leaves Elliot the keys to a car trunk, wherein her bloody corpse lies.
362	* FreudianExcuse: Apparently, Vera was depressed as a child and had multiple suicidal thoughts, until finally trying to hang himself. In season 4 it turns out that [[spoiler: he was sexually abused as a child, much like Elliot. This also makes him a Hypocrite, considering it was his sexual abuse of Shayla that brought him into conflict with Elliot in the first place.]]
363	* FromNobodyToNightmare: He was already evil even before he met Elliot but was just a low-life thug that time. [[spoiler: But come the end of season 3 and in season 4 he is implied to have benefited from the Dark Army attacks and is shown to be more powerful and dangerous than before.]]
364	* {{Gaslighting}}: [[spoiler: His goal was to drive Elliot insane and force him to submit to him by making him relive his childhood trauma. He planned on using whatever his trauma was so that he could swoop in as Elliot's saviour and abuse and control him.]]
365	* HateSink: He is nothing but a delusional creepy obsessive stalker who will stop at nothing to get Elliot all to himself. Whether it's killing his former obsession Shayla or kidnapping and threatening to rape Krista.
366	* HiddenDepths: Some of his philosophical ramblings are quite educated and profound. He also seems to have a small interest in etymology.
367	* {{Hypocrite}}: As mentioned above, he is revealed to have been sexually abused by his own mother's friends as a child, yet earlier in the same episode he felt Krista up while holding her hostage and even threatened to let one of his associates rape her. Also, as mentioned above, his repeated drugging and raping of Shayla is what ultimately kicked off his conflict with Elliot in the first place.
368	* IdiotBall: Grasps it firmly when he [[spoiler: follows Elliot out of Krista’s office after forcing him to confront his father’s sexual abuse. He gets too distracted by [[HeadTurningBeauty Elliot's beauty and fragility that he stupidly forgets]] to tie Krista up again before doing so, which gives her just enough time to get her hands on his knife and stab him in the back.]]
369	* ILoveYouBecauseICantControlYou: Part of why he ended up moving on to his obsession with Elliot, because he is very aloof, strong-willed and talented in hacking. Later {{Averted}}, when he feels a little emasculated by not being able to control Elliot, as implied in his "little bitch" story to Krista. This is what drives to psychologically abuse him into becoming his slave.
370	* InTheBack: [[spoiler: Krista stabs him from behind.]]
371	* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler: Killed by his own hostage using the knife that his brother, who he also had killed, used to kill Shayla in Season 1. It’s not a quick death, either — he’s audibly choking on his own blood for a few moments.]]
372	* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: As stated above, [[spoiler: after getting away with ruining the lives of Shayla and Elliot for almost a year, he is finally stabbed in the back by Krista with the same knife used to kill Shayla.]]
373	* LikeBonnieAndClyde: He wanted this to happen with Elliot by making him his partner in crime.
374	* LoveMakesYouEvil: [[spoiler: While he was already pure evil from the start, his obsession with Elliot made him even worse and went as far as hurting his therapist Krista just to get him on his side.]]
375	* ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler:His plan in season 4 is to mentally break Elliot so that he can put him under his control. He succeeds, but is killed before he can do anything with it.]]
376	* PlayingTheVictimCard: His whole "little bitch and bully" story in a nutshell. It's clear that he sees Elliot as some "bully" he has to take down and break, when in reality Elliot is the victim.
377	* ThePowerOfHate: In his own words, his "power". He tells Elliot that a person can't understand themselves until they truly hate themselves.
378	* PracticallyJoker: He shows shades of this. He is [[AxCrazy psychotic]] and [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative]], he is obsessed with the BrokenBird hero who only wears black, wants to cause chaos ForTheEvulz and he [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain treats women as nothing but objects]].
379	* PsychoExBoyfriend: Is this for Shayla as he keeps on drugging and raping her.
380	* PsychologicalProjection: Vera believes that he and Elliot are connected and after he breaks him into remembering his sexual abuse at the hands of his father, he uses the "Storm" speech to further this evidence that he and Elliot are meant to be partners.
381	* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: He's been drugging and raping Shayla. This is the straw that breaks the camel's back and is what pushes Elliot to betray him.
382	* {{Sadist}}: The worst case of it. He has no remorse in killing people to get what he wants, including his brother and Shayla and feels wonder in traumatizing Elliot. He even seems to be the most happy with the results of the Dark Army's attacks.
383	* SatanicArchetype: He serves as this in contrast to Elliot's MessianicArchetype. His whole motivation to become powerful is ForTheEvulz, manipulates everyone around him and abuses Shayla, Elliot and Krista. His build even slightly resembles the Satan himself.
384	* SmallRoleBigImpact: Vera appears in only two episodes during season one, and in those episodes, he manages to irrevocably traumatize Elliot by having Shayla kidnapped and murdered, leaving her dead body in the trunk of a car for Elliot to find. This ends up causing Elliot to spiral into a HeroicBSOD that kicks off the third act of the season as well as the eventual TomatoInTheMirror reveal. [[spoiler: And then he does it again in Season 4, forcing Elliot to unlock his memories of his sexually abusive father, which is key to the endgame of the series.]]
385	* TheSociopath: Fits every criteria. Calm, likes to be falsely polite with people, manipulates people for his own gain, and sees humans as objects for him to destroy. In his first appearance in season 4, he [[spoiler: shoots a henchman to death right in front of a young child]].
386	* StalkerWithACrush: Toward his ex-girlfriend Shayla. After he kills her, he moves on to Elliot.
387	* TheStinger: He finally reappears in the post-credits scene of "Shutdown", driving up to Elliot's apartment building with some fellow gangsters and introducing himself to Darlene as "[[CallBack a brave traveler]] coming home."
388	* StupidEvil: His plan to [[TakeOverTheCity take over New York City]] is filled with this to the point where Mr. Robot makes fun of his short sightedness. Vera never considers owning every major building would put him in massive debt and his plan wouldn't get him any power or even leverage over the city. [[spoiler:When Elliot brings up his planned hack of the Deus Group and offers Vera the money, he's quick to abandon it after Elliot pulls a gun on him. Even though it was established that he still needs the money for his plan to work.]]
389	* TakeOverTheCity: His EvilPlan is to take over [[UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity The Big Apple]].
390	* TalkativeLoon: Talks so much during his first meeting with Elliot that all Elliot hears is a ringing.
391	* ThinksLikeARomanceNovel: Implied in a really ''disturbing'' way. But his talk about the universe and cosmos bringing him to Shayla and later Elliot and believing that ''fate'' has brought him together with them (he later killed Shayla and brushed her off) and the fact that he sees himself as some sort of a bastard boyfriend who can be redeemed by love. In reality he is a delusional stalker who was obsessed with Shayla and then [[ReplacementGoldfish Elliot]].
392	* TheUnfettered: He has no moral code, and is willing to take whatever he wants and murder anyone who gets in his way. He is, in his own words, "free."
393	* VillainousCrush: [[spoiler: His obsession with Elliot serves as this]].
394	* UnsexySadist: Unlike Tyrell, [[DracoInLeatherPants who gained a huge fanbase despite his questionable actions]], Vera is anything but. He is basically a deconstruction of the [[RomanticizedAbuse Romanticized Abuser]], showing that no matter the horrible things he does to Shayla and Elliot, they are still '''horrible'''.
395	* WeCanRuleTogether: [[spoiler: In Season 4, he intends to have Elliot help him to grow his crime empire, no matter what.]]
396	* WhosLaughingNow: The story he tells of his own childhood is of a "little bitch" who one day takes an aluminum baseball bat and savagely beats the bully who'd been tormenting him, also converting that bully to his side.
397	* {{Yandere}}: His utter fixation on Elliot can come off this way, especially [[spoiler: in Season 4, when he is stalking Elliot and obsessed with winning him over to his side]].
398	* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness[=/=]YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler: In Season 4, he coldly shoots one his most loyal lieutenants to death for not being "detailed oriented" enough]].
