19	At first believed to be just a significantly organized hacker group who happen to share a common goal with fsociety, the Dark Army turn out to be a much larger criminal syndicate and terrorist group operating as an enclave within the 1%. Rooted in China, the Dark Army are led by the fabled dark web figure Whiterose and are capable of manipulating world events through the seemingly limitless resources that they possess, such as the payrolls of police chiefs, mayors, senators, and presidents. In the greater scheme of things, the Dark Army appear to be seeking a new world order through the implementation of Five/Nine as well as a mysterious project housed in the Washington Township Nuclear Power Plant. This project appears to be of great technological importance, as the Dark Army encourage martyrdom in the name of "the cause" and claim it to be the best gift you can provide. With unfathomable reach and influence, [[ParanoiaFuel the Dark Army are everywhere, and they are nowhere]].
20
21	----
22	* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: Many of its operatives, particularly the Chinese ones, commit suicide rather than face arrest or capture. It is [[spoiler:and confirmed in a deleted scene]] that this is what's expected of its members and they have bought into [[spoiler:Whiterose's mad project of creating a new world through her nuclear machine.]]
23	* BigBad: Collectively.
24	* BreakThemByTalking: The Dark Army's favored method of recruitment is through systematic psychological breakdowns of prospective members via invasive interrogation, gaslighting, and outright brainwashing.
25	* ChaoticEvil: Shares traits with both the Intelligent Monster and Terrorist Freedom Fighter flavors. The Dark Army have clear aspirations for societal change, but they wantonly kill and even sacrifice their own, doing so in the name of their mission.
26	* TheCracker: The Dark Army are paid by the highest bidders to carry out cyber-based attacks ranging from simple election rigging to economic destabilization.
27	* DarkIsEvil: It is quite literally in their moniker. Even from the beginning, the Dark Army are portrayed as suspicious and very dangerous people with a ''lot'' of pull.
28	* DissonantSerenity: A singular trait for most of the upper echelon members, such as [[FauxAffablyEvil Irving]] and [[AffablyEvil Leon]].
29	* DwindlingParty: [[spoiler: By the end, only Leon, Irving and Wang Shu have left the Dark Army for good on their own terms.]]
30	* EnlightenedAntagonist: They fancy themselves as such, in accordance with Whiterose's master plan... and all that that implies.
31	* EqualOpportunityEvil: While Chinese in origin, the Dark Army employ members from numerous ethnic and economic backgrounds.
32	* EvilCounterpart: To fsociety.
33	* EvilRunningGood: The Dark Army have members ''everywhere''. According to Whiterose, not even attorneys and presidents are safe from their influence. It is later revealed they have their fingers even in the FBI.
34	* ForcedIntoEvil: If the Dark Army desire something from you, they do ''not'' take "no" for an answer.
35	* HackerCollective: They are a legion of black hat hackers and, in comparison to fsociety, are a much darker example.
36	* HopeCrusher: The Dark Army are a natural at not only being avid manipulators, but making those that they manipulate suffer as much as possible along the way.
37	* LetsGetDangerous: Their reputation as black hat hackers in season one is thrown out of the window once they start murdering people in season two, and display jaw-dropping precision and organization when they are doing it.
38	* MalevolentMaskedMen: Dark Army members sport red oni masks in the same vein as fsociety's iconic Gentlemen masks.
39	* NGOSuperpower: By season three, it is made apparent that they are way, ''way'' more than just an amoral group of hackers. They have their fingers in pots ranging from the underground hacking community to [[CorruptBureaucrat the Chinese government]] and [[spoiler: [[TheMole the FBI]]]], and have access to military grade weapons, hit-men, and [[spoiler: are capable of executing a terrorist attack on 71 different locations throughout the United States, simultaneously.]]
40	* OnlyInItForTheMoney: This is the reputation that they cultivate, but they have much wider aspirations.
41	* TheSpook: As a group, the Dark Army are ludicrously precise and secretive in how they conduct their business. Those who do not associate with them are even aware that they exist. [[spoiler: This changes in season four when Elliot and Darlene hack the Deus Group and leak all of their private files.]]
42	* TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse: Operatives like Mr. Williams, Irving, Janice, [[spoiler: Angela, and Santiago]] don't seem at all menacing on the outside.
43	* UndyingLoyalty: The Dark Army's single creed is that sacrificing yourself is the greatest gift you can give to their "cause". Any hint of betrayal or disloyalty marks you for death.

51	[[folder:The Deus Group (UNMARKED SPOILERS)]]
52	!!The Deus Group
53
54	A secret cabal of the most wealthy and powerful individuals in the world, founded by Minister Zhang a.k.a. Whiterose in 1989 following the collapse of the Soviet Union. The Deus Group have since been responsible for the continued development of modern civilization at the turn of the digital age, having instituted E Corp as their front and dominated every economic sector on the planet.
55	----
56	* ArabOilSheikh: Some of its members are such.
57	* BeenThereShapedHistory: The Deus Group have their fingers in every pie in recent history, ranging from the both Gulf Wars to the ''implementation of the Internet.''
58	* BigBrotherIsWatching: The Internet was their ticket into the personal lives of almost every citizen in America and beyond, starting with bank accounts and eventually social media.
59	* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Many of its members are the topmost businessmen of the world. The CEO of E Corp is chosen by them
60	* CovertGroup: Their existence is known only to its members.
61	* {{Expy}}: Of the Illuminati. Every facet of their existence fits the bill for a shadowy, corrupt organization that pulls the strings of the modern world for their own profit.
62	* Fiction500: They are "the 1% of the 1%"
63	* TheIlluminati: The only thing that prevents them from being the actual Illuminati is that they are never called the Illuminati.
64	* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler: Elliot and Darlene manage to hack their bank accounts, rob them completely blind, and expose all of their crimes to the public. The group collapses and many of their members finally face the music.]]
65	* MinorCrimeRevealsMajorPlot: Elliot's burglary of the decoy apartment that Freddy Lomax pointed him to ultimately exposes Elliot to the truth of the Deus Group, thanks to Price's intervention.
66	* RunningBothSides: The Deus Group runs both E Corp and the Dark Army with the goal to constantly make a profit, regardless if there's a "revolution" like fsociety's.

70	[[folder:Grant]]
71	!!Grant
72	->'''Played by:''' Grant Chang
73
74	A close assistant to White Rose, both in her true nature and when she presents as Minister Zhang.
75	----
76	* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler: Admit it, you felt bad for him when he nervously commits suicide because Whiterose ordered him to do it for not being worthy of seeing the final results of their project]].
77	* AscendedExtra: Initially just an assistant to White Rose, before "Stage 3" shows that he's [[spoiler: not only CoDragons with Irving, but also White Rose's ''[[UnholyMatrimony lover]]'' and the only Dark Army member shown so far allowed to speak out of turn or call her out on being wrong]].
78	* BilingualBonus: [[spoiler:Before he kills himself, Grant pleads for Elliot to "take care of" White Rose.]]
79	* CoDragons: [[spoiler: With Irving, though he's more personally close to White Rose than Irving seems to be. However, "Shutdown" reveals that Irving was in his position once.]]
80	* TheDanza: Shares his actor's name.
81	* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: After White Rose tells him not to execute Elliot and Darlene and breaks off their relationship, he shoots himself in the head. Whether this was out of grief or the same unknown reasons the rest of the Dark Army tend to kill themselves is left ambiguous.]]
82	* MookLieutenant: He appears to have a lot of control over the Dark Army's rank-and-file, always being personally followed by a squad of them and presiding over operations where many of them are needed.
83	* TheStoic: Rarely visibly emotes, giving a constant stern glower to intimidate those he meets with.
84	[[/folder]]
85
86	[[folder:Wang Shu]]
87	!!Wang Shu
88	->'''Played by:''' Jing Xu
89
90	Whiterose’s new assistant following [[spoiler: Grant’s suicide]].
91	----
92	* BrutalHonesty: Even more so than Grant, Wang Shu openly questions Zhang's tolerance for Elliot and her obsession with converting him to her cause.
93	* {{Foil}}: To Grant. Whereas both are fed up with Whiterose's obsession with Elliot, Wang Shu speaks English while Grant only learns at Whiterose's demand. She's also much colder and defiant, and doesn't commit suicide when she leaves the Dark Army for good. A deleted scene shows her that, while she does believe in Whiterose's project, she's not willing to die for the cause.
94	* TheConsigliere: She acts as Whiterose’s assistant and advisor for her plans for the Congo facility and the operations of the Deus Group.
95	* ReplacementGoldfish: She takes the place of Grant as Whiterose's advisor [[spoiler: after Grant's death]].
96	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler: She quits during Zhang's meeting with Price after Zhang refuses to listen to her advise.]]

101	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mrrobotirving.jpg]]
102	[[caption-width-right:350:''"When we lose our principles, [[ChaosIsEvil we invite chaos]]."'']]
103	->'''Played by:''' Creator/BobbyCannavale
104
105	A fixer employed by the Dark Army. At first inconspicuous, Irving's old-school approach and looks hide a dangerously efficient businessman whom the Dark Army relies upon for hands-on dirty work, mostly involving cleaning up hairy situations that could endanger the Dark Army, its operatives, or their plans.
106	----
107	* AffablyEvil: He has a genuine calm, avuncular personality but is a murderous fixer for a malevolent organization.
108	* AxCrazy: His affable charm is just a front for a [[spoiler: bloodthirsty psychopath who relishes in intimidating and killing people.]]
109	* BunnyEarsLawyer: His quirks and aloof nature do not account for his expertise as the Dark Army's go-to fixer.
110	* ChekhovsGunman: Despite appearing first in season three, Irving is responsible for a lot of the more mysterious goings-on happening behind the scenes throughout season two.
111	* ConMan: Spins [[TheCon a sob story about his wife leaving him and taking the kids]] to Tyrell, only to immediately reveal to someone else that he was making it all up to sell Tyrell on the plan. It's heretofore ambiguous how much of his behavior is just an act.
112	* ConvenientReplacementCharacter: While totally different in style and attitude, Irving seems to substitute for Cisco as the main characters' link to the Dark Army in season three.
113	* CrazyPrepared: He has all of the materials in his cab to effortlessly disrupt an FBI pursuit and clean up a death by overdose at a lavish party thrown by New York socialites. Even without these tools, Irving displays unparalleled competence and intelligence that aids him in his endeavors.
114	* TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler: He briefly returns in Season 4 after being absent for 10 episodes.]]
115	* ButForMeItWasTuesday: When he [[spoiler:meets Dom again in Season 4, he's absolutely nonchalant despite the fact that the last time the two had met he had murdered her superior and threatened to violent hack her family to death.]]
116	* TheDragon: Appears to be this for White Rose, as he handles all of the important business she doesn't need to be personally involved in and has been responsible for organizing much of Stage 2. [[spoiler: "Stage 3" shows that he [[CoDragons shares this position]] with Grant, who seems to be slightly higher than him on the ladder, while "Shutdown" complicates it when he reveals that he was once in Grant's place many years ago and is somewhat bitter toward White Rose.]]
117	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: He's introduced ordering food from a fast food joint and poking holes in the clerk's logic that he has to wait until his next visit to get a free milkshake even though he has a full reward card. He then takes a Bluetooth call from Tyrell and [[DissonantSerenity casually asks if Elliot is dead]] right in front of the clerk.
118	* EvenEvilHasStandards: For a guy that [[spoiler:lustily axed Santiago to death and kept hacking at the corpse, Irving still found Janice too extreme and is glad Dom killed her]].
119	* TheFixer: His job. He can solve any problem the Dark Army runs into, acquire anything they need, and accomplish whatever must be done, all by whatever means necessary.
120	* {{Foil}}: Can be seen as one to Elliot and Mr. Robot. Like them, he's a ruthlessly intelligent, highly skilled BunnyEarsLawyer who got involved in a higher cause -- Elliot with Fsociety, and Mr. Robot with the Dark Army -- hoping to change the way things worked. Like Robot taking his name from Edward's tech store, his apparent name is also emblazoned on his place of business, and it's currently ambiguous whether it's his real name. The difference is that he's not at all delusional, and [[spoiler: "Frederick & Tanya" reveals that he simply gave up hope of the system ever changing, but continues to work for White Rose's cause despite this.]]
121	* FromACertainPointOfView: His assurances to Angela about the evacuation of the recovery building before Stage 2, which initially seem like outright BlatantLies. [[spoiler: As it turns out, "it's been taken care of" just means the casualties will be in other buildings -- the recovery building stopped being the target [[NiceJobBreakingItHero thanks to Elliot]].]]
122	* GivenNameReveal: [[spoiler: ''Film/LeaveTheWorldBehind'' reveals his first name to be "Otto".]]
123	* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: Never suffers any consequences for butchering an FBI agent to death with an axe, and has apparently gotten a book published since then ([[Film/LeaveTheWorldBehind later]] revealed to be "Beach Towel"). However, given Santiago’s status as an AssholeVictim one could easily argue that he had it coming.]]
124	* PunchClockVillain: Employed by the Dark Army but watches reality TV and writes gay self-insert erotica in his free time.
125	* PsychoForHire: While not originally, as the season goes by, Irving goes from a nice guy that only does his job to a sadistic psychopath who totally enjoys what he does.
126	* RememberTheNewGuy: A justified example. He's been heavily involved in the plot since at least late Season 1, but the only characters to have interacted with him until Season 3 are Mr. Robot, Tyrell and Dark Army guys like Cisco and Leon.
127	* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: He's involved with the Dark Army despite having no hope of the system ever changing, embracing his role as just another cog in a machine designed for the benefit of the wealthy instead.

135	->'''Played by:''' Joey Bada$$
136
137	->''Existence can be beautiful or it could be ugly. But that's on you.''
138
139	A friend of Elliot's in the second season, at that point obsessed with ''{{Series/Seinfeld}}'', now with ''Series/KnightRider''. He's actually a member of the Dark Army sent to watch Elliot's back in prison.
140	----
141	* AffablyEvil: He's a stoner who constantly rambles on about 90s TV shows, gives Elliot life advice, and is generally a good friend to him. He's also a ruthless murderer who will kill anyone his bosses tell him without a second thought.
142	* AssShove: Finishes off the skinhead prisoner who tried to rape Elliot by curb-stomping a knife up his ass. [[spoiler: When he threatens Trenton and Mobley with the same knife later, he tells them [[BlackComedy they don't want to know where it's been]].]]
143	* TheAntiNihilist: His quote above gives off this vibe.
144	* BadassBookworm: He's a serious {{Cloudcuckoolander}}, but he's almost a OneManArmy in combat, first taking on four Neo-Nazis singlehandedly, then [[spoiler: kidnapping Trenton and Mobley by himself after killing their roommate, and later killing several of Grant's goons before they have a chance to fire.]] The same episode as the last incident reveals that [[spoiler: he can take personal calls from White Rose, implying that he's much higher up on the chain of command than was initially thought.]]
145	* BodyguardCrush: [[spoiler: Downplayed. Despite being a former DA member, Elliot is one of the few people he cares about the most and makes it clear to Dom that he is his priority when she asks him.]]
146	* BunnyEarsLawyer: He's quite strange and it's ambiguous how intelligent he actually is, but he's more than competent enough that Irving still pays him.
147	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: His rambling obsession with classic TV like ''{{Series/Seinfeld}}'' makes him seem like a bit of one. [[spoiler: He also rambles to Irving about getting to kill Neo-Nazis before realizing he was being asked about Elliot, indicating that it's not an act.]]
148	* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler: Season 4 shows that despite everything that happened in the barn, Leon is on good terms with both Elliot and Darlene.]]
149	* EruditeStoner: Leon is repeatedly seen rolling up a joint, has some deep insights and tends to cite literature, movies and series.
150	* {{Foreshadowing}}: If you look closely at his arm, you'll see he has a tattoo in Chinese meaning 'Year of the Dragon'. The Dark Army are a hacker group operating out of China, whose operatives wear dragon masks as disguises.
151	* FriendInTheBlackMarket: Offers to hook Elliot up with anything he needs in prison.
152	-->'''Leon:''' I'm here to provide you with anything you may need. I can pretty much find anything, and I mean anything. Smokes, pills, hard shit, porn, grandma porn. Some of these guys like that shit. Gay porn. I don't judge, man. Whatever you need.
153	* HeroKiller: [[spoiler: He may not kill them directly, but he is responsible for the murders of Mobley and Trenton, kidnapping them and holding them hostage until his masked allies arrive to finish the job.]]
154	* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Elliot.
155	* HiddenDepths: Gives a surprisingly inspirational speech to Elliot about the beauty of existence.
156	* IconicOutfit: More or less all his outfits have a camo piece in them. [[spoiler: this foreshadows the season 4 reveal that he isn't a true believer in the Dark Army but more of a soldier for hire.]]
157	* KarmaHoudini: As a consequence of being EasilyForgiven, Leon suffers no consequences for being a Dark Army enforcer and [[spoiler:instrumental in the deaths of Trenton and Mobley.]]
158	* LastGuyWins: [[spoiler: A more platonic version of this trope. After Tyrell's possible death and Vera getting a KarmicDeath due to his dangerous obsession with Elliot, Leon is the only man who gets to live and stay true partners with Elliot, because of the fact that he only likes him for who he is and unlike the other two, treated him like an actual human being and didn't force himself on him.]]
159	* OnlyKnownByHisNickname: Leon is not his real name.
160	* MoralityPet: Elliot is this for him. He is the only person whom he genuinely cares for.
161	* PunchClockVillain: He's a ruthless killer and enforcer but he never acts with malice or hatred towards his victims, even able to show them genuine courtesy, and regards what he does as simply his work and nothing more.
162	* TheSociopath: Ambiguous. He seems genuinely warm toward Elliot and treats him like a friend, even though he's merely an operative assigned to keep him alive. However, he affects the same casual demeanor to the point of impassive coldness when he's the hostile party in a situation, as seen when [[spoiler: he responds to Mobley's pleas to let him and Trenton go by monologuing about ''Series/KnightRider'' and throwing in a few brief acknowledgements that he overhears what's being said about him.]]
163	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In Season 4 [[spoiler:he leaves the Dark Army and becomes a freelance agent. After Darlene and Elliot bring down the Dark Army and the Deus Group, they hire Leon to get Darlene to safety.]]
164	* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Manly Man to Elliot's sensitive guy.
165	* TheStinger: In the post-credits scene of the second season finale, he meets with a disguised Trenton and Mobley for unknown reasons. [[spoiler: "Frederick & Tanya" reveals that he kidnapped them and ultimately condemned them to their deaths.]]
166	* VillainousRescue: Saves Elliot from getting raped by Neo-Nazis just before it's revealed that he's a Dark Army operative. [[spoiler: Later stops Grant from executing Elliot and Darlene by taking out all of Grant's men single-handedly.]]

172	->'''Played by:''' Creator/AshlieAtkinson
173
174	->''I am not a doctor, but I am 99% sure I punctured a lung.''
175
176	A taxidermist and Dark Army agent assigned to handle Dom in her role as their mole in the FBI.
177	-----
178	* AmbiguouslyGay: Was introduced to Dom by her mother, who was trying to act as a matchmaker for her.
179	* AndYourLittleDogToo: Threatens to kill Dom's family in some cruel and creative (not to mention pretty graphic) ways if she refused to cooperate with the Dark Army.
180	* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: Considering she threatened Dom and her family before torturing and stabbing her, a shot to the head by Dom herself was well deserved.]]
181	* BitchAlert: When she tells Dominique to get some sleep so that she can be ready for her interview about Santiago's disappearance, this firmly cements her as a monstrous Dark Army operative, alongside threatening to kill her mother in a graphic manner.
182	* TheBrute: She serves as this for the Dark Army, willing to violently torture anyone who gets in the way.
183	* CardCarryingVillain: Unlike [[PunchClockVillain Punch-Clock Villains]] like Leon and Irving who quit for different reasons (Leon not being that much interested in the Dark Army's cause and Elliot becoming his MoralityPet and Irving growing tired of them), Janice is really proud of her position at the Dark Army and enjoys hurting anyone below her, be it Darlene or Dom.
184	* TheDreaded: Possibly on the same level as Whiterose. So much so that even Irving found her too extreme and dangerous.
185	* DissonantSerenity: Being that she is a Dark Army agent, this is to be expected.
186	* EvilSoundsDeep: She has a really deep and masculine voice, which sums up her sadistic evil nature.
187	* FatBastard: Probably the most offensive and stereotypical part about her, but she is overweight and is pure evil.
188	* FauxAffablyEvil: Janice is more depraved than Irving and Leon, who are to varying extents charming and likable. Still, she can put on a passable façade for Dom's mother and she's pleasant with her taxidermy customers.
189	* ForTheEvulz: It seems like the only reason she is part of the Dark Army is to torture or kill anyone below her or useless to her just for her own amusement.
190	* {{Foil}}: For Irving. While both are a PsychoForHire, Irving seems to have become disillusioned with the Dark Army's cause and is just their PunchClockVillain until he quits at the end of Season 3, Janice seems to not only believe in it but to completely stand by the cause just for fun.
191	* FinalBoss: For Dominique.
192	* FlatCharacter: Janice has no backstory to speak of apart from her lifelong interest in taxidermy. Beyond that, her only purpose in the series is to be evil and act as an obstacle for Dominique.
193	* HateSink: She is easily the most despicable member of the Dark Army that is shown throughout the series. Unlike Whiterose, who is driven by tragic circumstances as well as being fairly engaging as a character, Irving and Leon who were likable and approachable in spite of their shady allegiances, Janice is nothing more than a smug, overtly malicious, and sadistic henchwoman who revels in tormenting Dom [[spoiler:and Darlene]] and shows no likable qualities whatsoever.
194	* TheHandler: Like Irving before her, Janice is assigned to Dominique to preserve the Dark Army's agenda.
195	* KickTheDog: Seems to enjoy tugging on Dom's leash quite a bit.
196	* MoreDespicableMinion: While Whiterose was revealed to have a tragic backstory of her own where she was driven mad by the grief of losing her boyfriend because of the prejudice they faced, Janice has no interest in her ideology at all and is more into torturing and killing people weaker than her for her own amusement.
197	* OutsideGenreFoe: In a series that takes place in a more modern, fashionable and classy New York, Janice looks more like she is a villain from a series set in a creepy old fashioned small town.
198	* PsychoKnifeNut: Never seen holding a gun, but she shows up to Angela's apartment with a suitcase full of terrifying blades.
199	* {{Sadist}}: She's the only member of the Dark Army that's not just shown to enjoy her work, but also antagonize and belittle her victims with a satisfied look on her face.
200	* {{Slimeball}}: She is nothing but a prideful and narcissistic taxidermist/torture expert who takes joy in killing or hurting anyone below her level.
201	* SmallNameBigEgo: Despite the fact she is a Dark Army agent, she still thinks highly of herself and that she is better than others.
202	* SugaryMalice: Puts even her most sadistic commands in a sweet-seeming way, such as putting hearts in her threatening texts to Dom.
203	* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: While wildly different in appearance, she fills Irving's role as the Dark Army's face in Season 4, an agent with a seemingly mundane occupation who is secretly a sociopathic PsychoForHire ready to kill anyone who stands in White Rose's way.
204	* TortureTechnician: Takes this opportunity whenever she needs information, especially when she uses her taxidermy tools to stab Dom.
205	* TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse: Unlike the more flamboyant Irving, Janice is a a homely woman with an unremarkable appearance and demeanor.

218	* AffablyEvil: He doesn't speak, but his body language gives off the vibe that he's a rather chill fella despite whom he's working for.

223	* TheSpook: Nothing is ever stated about who he is, what his position is, or why he refuses to speak. However, he's strongly implied to be a high-ranking operative, being put in charge of such important tasks as managing the initial Stage 2 site, [[spoiler: serving as the pickup for Angela's data during Stage 2 itself and leading the Dark Army mooks in the take over of the Washington Township nuclear plant.]].

247
248	A hacker associated with the Dark Army, and Darlene's on-and-off boyfriend. He serves as fsociety's link to the Dark Army.
249	----
250	* AmbiguouslyEvil: Whether or not he's actually interested in helping fsociety is kept ambiguous. On one hand, he acts as a link between them and the Dark Army, informs them of the FBI surveillance program targeting them, and helps Darlene dispose of a body. On the other, he's a member of a society who are clearly more interested in using fsociety as pawns than they are allying with them, and, when Darlene hacks into his computer, she finds that he has secretly informed the Dark Army of her location and sent them a photo of herself sleeping. Ultimately however, he seemed to be genuinely interested in helping Darlene and stayed by her side up until his death.
251	* BoomHeadshot: The Dark Army finish him off this way.
252	* CollateralAngst: His death is what pushes Darlene over the edge, leading her to become an FBI informant and protect Elliot.
253	* DeadpanSnarker: On occasion.
254	* [[DisposableWoman Disposable Man]]: [[spoiler: His death is what starts Darlene's descent into a full on mental breakdown.]]
255	* {{Fingore}}: Angry at his insubordination, his Dark Army superiors inject a needle into his index finger then snap it off, leaving the metal inside.
256	* HeKnowsTooMuch: Why the Dark Army has him killed. They won't risk him being arrested and revealing what he knows of the Dark Army's plans to the police or the FBI.
257	* MeaningfulName: Cisco Systems, a tech company most known for making wireless networking devices, is a fitting name for the link between fsociety and the Dark Army.
258	* ObfuscatingStupidity: He pretends to be an average, slightly obnoxious musician hawking his music out on the street. He's actually a skilled hacker who uses spyware embedded on the disks to hack into his targets' computers and blackmail them.
259	* OnlyKnownByHisNickname: Most people only know him as Cisco. His library employee card reveals his real name to be Francis Shaw. This makes sense, as the Spanish form of "Francis" is "Fran'''cisco'''".
260	* OnlySaneMan: Interestingly enough, he seems to be this between Darlene and himself; as he will express his discomfort in a situation as well as point out how [[HeWhoFightsMonsters jaded]] [[WellIntentionedExtremist she]] [[KnightTemplar seems to be becoming over time.]]
261	* SurprisinglySuddenDeath: In one second, he's happily dining with Darlene in a random restaurant. In the next, a Dark Army assassin sprays bullets through the window, ventilating his head.
262	* TokenGoodTeammate: Possibly. At the very least he tried to protect Darlene from the Dark Army's brutal side.
263	* WhatTheHellHero: Gives one to Darlene after she contemplates letting a wounded Fsociety member die to keep herself safe. His words get through to her and she agrees to take him to hospital.

269
270	An enigmatic Dark Army interrogator.
271	----
272	* AffablyEvil: Nothing but quiet and polite.
273	* BreakingSpeech: Gives this to Tyrell in "Legacy", asking him a series of [[ArmorPiercingQuestion personal questions]] to unravel his mind and prove his loyalty.
274	* FunctionalAddict: Despite being shown repeatedly snorting cocaine over the course of his interrogation of Tyrell, he shows no sign of being high.
275	* SmallRoleBigImpact: He's basically a [[TheCameo cameo]] for Creator/WallaceShawn, but his [[ArmorPiercingQuestion sequence of questioning]] drives Tyrell even further into his SanitySlippage and officially makes him part of the Dark Army.

291	->'''Played by:''' Erik Jensen
292
293	A right-wing pundit and conspiracy theorist hosting a political analysis show called ''Let's Be Frank''.
294	----
295	* MouthOfSauron: While portraying himself as a journalist opposed to "The Man", he's nothing more than a mouthpiece for Whiterose to shape public perception towards the goals of the Dark Army and the Deus Group.
296	* {{Expy}}: Of right-wing talk show hosts, conspiracy theorists and fake news peddlers like Alex Jones or Tucker Carlson.
297	* {{Foil}}: To Elliot himself, spousing similar anti-establishment rethoric but manipulating it to fit the authoritarian goals of the Deus Group.
298	* {{Hypocrite}}: For all his speeches against "the establishment", he's nothing more than a propagandist for the Deus Group and begins supporting UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump after being told to by Zhang, despite considering Trump nothing more than a buffoon. He also has no issue to push the narrative linking fsociety to Iran despite the Islamophobia it will instigate.
299	* SmallRoleBigImpact: His conspiracy theorizing cause a Five/Nine truther to murder Gideon Goddard.
