9	----
10	* ChaoticGood: Shaw follows his conscience, which gets him into trouble on more than one occasion. First, 100 years ago, when he [[spoiler: helped start the mutiny on the ship rather than abandon the prisoners]] and second, when he [[spoiler: locked the missile system so Diyoza couldn't destroy the bunker.]]
11	* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:While his group is being chased by carnivorous bugs, he runs into a radiation fence and gets electrocuted. He later dies from the injuries.]]
12	* DisposablePilot: Completely subverted. Shaw [[spoiler: betrays the crew by aiding Raven and Murphy, but has to be kept alive because he is the only person who can fly the ship.]]
13	* HighVoltageDeath: [[spoiler: Dies by getting electrocuted thanks to the radiation fence.]]
14	* SoHappyTogether: [[spoiler:Ends up in a loving relationship with Raven, then when they're at their happiest, he goes out on a mission and dies.]]
15	* SoleSurvivor: Is the only member of the original Eligius crew to still be alive in the present day [[spoiler:thanks to siding with the prisoners in the past and serving as their pilot.]]
16	* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: Despite surviving the Season he's introduced in [[spoiler:and being Raven's new love interest he is apprubtly killed in the first episode of the next Season.]]
17	* TokenGoodTeammate: He's this to the Eligius crew.

24	->'''Played by:''' Creator/IvanaMilicevic
25
26	----
27	* TheAce: She's outright the most clever of any of the characters, and brilliant when it comes to both combat and tactics.
28	* ArmorIsUseless: Notably averted in a show that usually plays it straight. She's shown taking a couple of bullets in various fights, all of which are stopped or at least slowed by her body armor. Without it she wouldn't have made it even halfway through Season 5.
29	* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: She was caught when the military sent the very Navy [=SEALs=] she trained after her.
30	* BigBadEnsemble: With Octavia and [=McCreary=] for Season 5 since all three want the valley and are willing to do whatever is necessary to control it. She ends up losing this position [[spoiler:after her side of the EnemyCivilWar is wiped out by [=McCreary=]'s men]]
31	* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:Diyoza ends up dying in the episode "A Little Sacrifice" after catching the Gen-5 that Hope used to try and poison the Disciples water supply and being turned to crystal.]]
32	* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:She's crystallized from the inside by the GEM9 toxin that her own daughter tried to unleash on a colony of cultists.]]
33	* DefectorFromDecadence: She was a Navy [=SEALs=] officer and wanted to help people before she defected and became a terrorist, or in her words, a freedom fighter against the fascist United States government.
34	* EnemyMine: Forms one with former BigBadDuumvirate Octavia in Season 6, and [[OddFriendship surprisingly]], they end up forging an IntergenerationalFriendship on the basis of being similar.
35	* EveryScarHasAStory: She has a thin scar on her neck, courtesy of cutting her own throat as a suicide attempt to escape the authorities. It didn't take. She also has a nasty burn scar that only partially covers a US flag tattoo, implying she tried to remove a symbol of her previous allegiance after going rogue.
36	* EvilParentsWantGoodKids: She wanted Hope to grow up normally and to not pursue violence. When Hope pursues that darker path, Diyoza tells her that and that she was the first person to [[IAmAMonster not see her as a monster]], and [[spoiler:her last words to her]] are telling her to be better than her.
37	* FamedInStory: Or was, at least. Prior to the first apocalypse, she was a notorious terrorist, with an infamy apparently on par with Hitler and bin Laden. However, by the time she returns to Earth a century later, very few records of that time still exist, and so no one knows who she is at first. [[spoiler:The Primes, having been alive during that time, ''do'' recognize her, and promptly send her into exile.]]
38	* GenreSavvy: By far the most outright of any of the characters, which makes her both an incredibly dangerous foe and an exceedingly useful ally. She's exceedingly quick on the uptake, and an outright brilliant strategist.
39	* HeroicSacrifice: Her [[spoiler:death]] is this; sacrificing herself for the most important person in her life: Hope.
40	* IAmAMonster: She admits to having done terrible things in the past, like killing innocent people.
41	* IDidWhatIHadToDo: She's not entirely evil, and considers her more extreme actions merely done for survival.
42	* LongestPregnancyEver: Though it's only about a month for the characters between when she shows up and when we finally see Hope, thanks to [[HumanPopsicle the cryopods]], Diyoza spent 234 years pregnant with her.
43	* MySecretPregnancy: Was pregnant with McCreary's child before she was put into cryo and is roughly 5 months pregnant with a healthy baby girl during Season 5. She reveals this slowly to certain characters (Abby, Kane) but not to her crew.
44	* OddFriendship: After spending Season 5 being the opposing BigBad to Octavia, they forge an EnemyMine in Season 6 and it ends up becoming an IntergenerationalFriendship. Then comes Season 7, where they end up raising Hope together for ten years and are probably one of the most closest characters in the show.
45	* PregnantBadass: In the 5x09 episode, despite being in the fifth stage, she is able to fight and knock out five armed soldiers (including [=McCreary=]).
46	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: To an extent. She is willing to work with Wonkru and listens to Kane's reasoning. However, Octavia's hostility eventually leads her to act against them.
47	* SexForServices: She slept with [=McCreary=] to get him and his men on her side for the mutiny aboard the Eligius III, [[spoiler:getting pregnant in the process]]. She's not particularly proud of it after the fact, but she didn't have a lot of options at the time.
48	* ShipTease: She appears to flirt with Kane multiple times throughout Season 5. It ends up going nowhere since, while they may be in a rough patch, he's already taken and she never sees him again after that season due to her exile and Kane's death.
49	* StorybreakerPower: She's given a hiatus in Season 6 because of this, as massive amount of experience and smarts means she'd pretty much be able to annihilate the threat of Sanctum and the Primes with ease.
50	* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:Walks into the mysterious Anomaly, which no one has ever returned from. However, Octavia tries to chase her and walks out of it just fine. It's eventually revealed in Season 7 that she got transported to another planet and spend ten years living there with Octavia before the two were send to Bardo. The only reason Octavia doesn't remember any of that is because the time dilation of the Anomaly erased her memories.]]
51	* WrittenByTheWinners: Implied. She's apparently as bad as Hitler and bin Laden, but she considered herself a freedom fighter against a fascist government and she admits with guilt that she killed innocent people. Season 7 gives more weight to her side of the story, as we learn in flashbacks that the U.S. became a corrupt authoritarian regime that even considered environmental activist groups to be terroristic.
52	* YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters: She is referred to as a terrorist in the files Raven and Murphy find on her, but she refers to Clarke, Bellamy, and their group as terrorists for attacking them and holding her people hostage, and has many PetTheDog moments throughout the season.

60	----
61	* BeardOfEvil: Sports an impressively well-groomed one, considering the circumstances and the less flattering rest of his appearance.
62	* BigBad: While he is initially in a BigBadEnsemble with Diyoza and Octavia, he comes out on top and becomes the season's final and most destructive villain
63	* ChaoticEvil: He really doesn't have a plan for what to do when in charge, besides exterminate all of his enemies.
64	* ColdBloodedTorture: Is shown to engage in this multiple times (shocking Clarke repeatedly, dousing Raven in water and threatening to shock her, holding a knife to Murphy's throat to make Raven talk) and clearly enjoys it.
65	* DelinquentHair: His greasy lopsided undercut serves well in making him look like the psychopath he is.
66	* EvilIsPetty: Combined with IfICantHaveYou. He ends up triggering the Damocles bomb, which destroys the last habitable part of Earth, essentially dooming the human race, after realizing he cannot win the battle against Wonkru.
67	* SecretlyDying: He is one of the prisoners dying from lung disease. However, he is later cured by Abby.
68	* TheSociopath: Referred to by the director as one of the only truly evil characters in the show's history.
69	* TattooedCrook: Like pretty much all Eligius prisoners, [=McCreary=] is heavily inked.
70	* VillainRespect: He actually seems to like Murphy, and pulls an EnemyMine with Spacekru at one point when Shaw leaves him for dead.

73	[[folder:Vinson]]
74	!!Michael Vinson
75	->'''Played by:''' Creator/MikeDopud
76
77	----
78	* AffablyEvil: He is soft-spoken and polite to everyone. He's also a vicious SerialKiller.
79	* CreepySouvenir: According to Shaw, before his imprisonment by Eligius, he would cut off the hands and feet of his victims and keep them as trophies.
80	* FourEyesZeroSoul: His glasses give him the look of a friendly paternal figure. He's actually quite vicious.
81	* GenreRefugee: He's a cannibalistic serial killer that you'd more likely see in a PoliceProcedural.
82	* GentleGiant: Subverted. He SEEMS like this whenever he is with Abby, but only because of the shock collar he wears.
83	* HorrorHunger: He describes his desire to kill people as this, and takes a liking to Abby because of her addiction to painkillers, seeing them as kindred spirits.
84	* ImAHumanitarian: He takes a bite out of one of the other prisoners to save Abby, and later attacks Kane the same way.
85	* RestrainingBolt: He's the only prisoner to still wear the shock collars fitted on by the prison guards. He does so voluntarily to keep himself from randomly killing people.
86	* SecretlyDying: He is one of the prisoners dying from lung disease, and Abby experimenting on him allows her to develop an effective treatment.

89	[[folder:Nikki]]
90	!!Nikki
91	->'''Played by:''' Creator/AlainaHuffman
92
93	----
94	* BerserkButton: She certainly has a temper.
95	* DeathGlare: She’s pretty much glaring in every scene she’s in.
96	* DelinquentHair: Her long blond hair is tied into tight corn rows on the right side of her head only, giving her a wild and almost tribal appearance.
97	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She's madly in love with her husband Hatch [[spoiler:and thus takes his death ''very'' poorly]].
98	* TheLostLenore: She’s never really the same after her husband dies.
99	* ThisMeansWar: When [[spoiler:her husband, Hatch]] dies, she loses it, going as far as attacking Raven and blaming her for his death.

102	[[folder:Hatch]]
103	!!Hatch
104	->'''Played by:''' Creator/ChadRook
105
106	----
107	* ALighterShadeOfBlack: Compared to the rest of the Eligius prisoners and even his wife Nikki, Hatch is a rather mellow fellow who talks a big game but is actually quite reasonable and opposed to senseless violence.
108	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He [[spoiler:willingly sacrifices his life repairing Sanctum's nuclear reactor]] so his wife and all his friends can live.
109	* MoralityPet: For Nikki. Whenever she's about to go ballistic on someone over perceived slights, asking her if Hatch would've wanted her to do this is almost guaranteed to give her pause.
110	* OnlyInItForTheMoney: He was a bank robber back on Earth, but unlike his sadistic wife he only got into this life to get rich.
111	* VillainousValor: [[spoiler:He's the only one of the criminals Raven sends into the reactor who realizes he's not going to survive this assignment. He still finishes the job with the last of his strength to save his friends and family from being vaporized in a nuclear inferno.]]
112	* VillainRespect: For a given definition of villainy. He and the still decidedly amoral Murphy get along quite well, to the point that Murphy [[spoiler:expresses heartfelt condolences to Nikki and praises Hatch's valor following his death]].
113	* WeHardlyKnewYe: [[spoiler:He dies in the same episode that gives him some characterization beyond "selfish criminal".]]
