26	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler:She may have killed most of Anna's eggs, but all this did was make Anna go ''berserk'' and proceed with the main plans for humanity way ahead of schedule (Marcus says as much), meaning that the entire plan to stop the Fifth Column from being wiped out and Joshua's sacrifice may have been completely for naught.]]

58
59	* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: A firm believer in it.
60	%%* {{Jerkass}}
61	* MrFanservice: He certainly seems to be heading in that direction, given his [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys dark demeanor]] and the looks of the actor who plays him.
62	%%* SociopathicHero
63	%%* TerroristWithoutACause
64	%%* TokenEvilTeammate
65	%%* WesternTerrorist: Type I.
66	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:He disappeared following Lisa's failure to kill Anna]].
67
68	!!Joshua
69	-->'''Played by:''' Music/MarkHildreth
70

92
93	[[folder:The Visitors]]
94
95	!!Anna
96	-->'''Played by:''' Creator/MorenaBaccarin
97
98	* AbusiveParents: Depending on her relation to the V race in general, this might tie in with BadBoss. Otherwise, her treatment of Lisa in "Hearts & Minds" definitely counts.
99	%%* AloofDarkHairedGirl
100	* BadBoss: You get a suicide pill if you're even suspected of being a traitor, skinned alive if she knows for sure.
101	* BigBad: As the queen of Visitors, she is the one who planning to take the world's resources and to destroy the Resistance.
102	* BoyishShortHair: Sports a pixie cut.
103	%%* ConsummateLiar
104	%%* CrazyPrepared
105	%%* TheEmperor
106	%%* InvincibleVillain: Even called attention to by Erica. No matter what the Fifth Column does, Anna always comes out on top. Either through DiabolusExMachina or just good PR, every supposed win they've had is thrown right back in their faces. Manages to go up to eleven in the season 2 finale. The Fifth Column decides to take out Anna. Result? [[spoiler:Anna uses Bliss on pretty much all of humanity; the Fifth Column is basically defeated; Diana, Tyler, and Ryan are dead; and the queen egg hatches to replace Lisa.]] Coming back would be impressive...if the show wasn't cancelled.
107	* MamaBear: In contrast to the above, [[spoiler:when her eggs are destroyed by the Fifth Column, she gets extremely pissed and apparently poisons the entire damn planet]].
108	%%* ManipulativeBastard
109	* MsFanservice: [[spoiler:Subverted about halfway through the first season, because mating with her would lead to some...unpleasant side-effects.]]
110	* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: Her true form has many rows of very sharp, very long teeth.
111	%%* SmugSnake
112	* SnakesAreEvil: She's intentionally made to resemble a snake with her short hair and very slender features.
113	* StepfordSmiler: Type C; a [[TheFakeCutie Fake Cutie]].
114	%%* SugaryMalice
115	* UncannyValleyGirl: Looks like a very beautiful human woman, but there's always something very off about her. And that's BEFORE she reveals her true form.
116	%%* TheVamp
117	%%* VillainWithGoodPublicity
118	* WellIntentionedExtremist: She seems to honestly believe that everything she is doing is for the survival and protection of her species, and says as much to her people.
119
120	!!Lisa
121	-->'''Played by:''' Creator/LauraVandervoort
122
123	%%* DefrostingIceQueen
124	%%* FemmeFatale
125	* GrandTheftMe: [[spoiler:In a sense. An EvilTwin of herself has assumed her identity, and she is locked away and unable to do anything.]]
126	%%* LoveRedeems
127	* ModestyBedsheet: She apparently sleeps with this.
128	%%* MsFanservice
129	%%* RebelliousPrincess
130	%%* SealedGoodInACan
131	* ShooTheDog: Keeps trying with Tyler, but can't make it stick.
132	* StepfordSmiler: Starts as a Type C, later becomes a Type A.
133	%%* TokenGoodTeammate
134
135	!!Diana
136	-->'''Played by:''' Creator/JaneBadler
137
138	* AdaptationalHeroism: In the original series, Diana was the leader of the Visitor forces on Earth and led the invasion, but in this series, she is a more benevolent ruler to her people.
139	* HumanityIsInfectious: Diana began experiencing human emotion which was why her daughter, Anna, locked her away. She knows that Anna is now experiencing human emotion and tells Anna it'll only get worse.
140	* InTheBack: Diana tells Anna, she did this to her by taking the throne from her.
141	* MadWomanInTheAttic: Anna put her mother in a secret part of the ship for fifteen years. She did this because Diana experienced human emotions which Anna arguably considers a sickness.
142	* ManInTheIronMask: Everyone believes Diana is dead, but what really happened is Anna imprisoned her mother and told everyone she was dead. Anna did this because it was not time for her to take the throne, but she felt it necessary because of Diana's experience of human emotion.
143	* SealedGoodInACan: Until the season 2 finale.
144	* TooDumbToLive: Diana leaped into this category in the season 2 finale by [[spoiler:very publicly taking back the throne even AFTER learning that the plan to assassinate Anna failed. Diana knew full well that Anna would kill her; yet she took no precautions to prevent this]].
145
146	!!Marcus
147	-->'''Played by:''' Creator/ChristopherShyer
148
149	* AudienceSurrogate: He tends to ask Anna what she's planning near the end of some episodes, mostly for the benefit of viewers who didn't figure it out sooner.
150	%%* TheDragon
151	%%* EnigmaticMinion
152	%%* SharpDressedMan

158	-->'''Played by:''' Creator/LoganHuffman
159
160	* AccompliceByInaction: Tyler blames his mother for [[spoiler: his dad's death]] for not doing enough.
161	* {{Brainwashed}}: [[spoiler:Anna uses her bliss on Tyler, which she can now use on any human.]]
162	* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: Why he joins up with the Vs.
163	* DisappearedDad: Part of why Tyler has stepped up his rebellious teenage son game.
164	* {{Jerkass}}: Has recently stepped into this category .
165	* TheQuisling: As Erica puts it, he seems to think the Vs are ''Gods''.
166	* LoveMakesYouDumb: [[spoiler:And gets you killed.]]
167	* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:An inversion. Tyler learns that the man he thinks is his father isn't, though Erica swears up and down that the test was wrong and he is. Turns out, Tyler's genome has been manipulated by the Vs and lacks certain genetic markers, which is why the blood test incorrectly said his dad wasn't his father]].
168	* NaiveNewcomer: To the Peace Ambassadors and the V culture as a whole.
169	* TagalongKid: A rare case of the ''villains'' getting their own TagAlongKid, but that's just because he's...
170	* TooDumbToLive: While many are taken in by the Vs, Tyler wins the award for being frankly the ''dumbest'' character in the main cast for the entire series in that he finds nothing suspicious about the Visitors ''at all''.
171	* TroubledButCute: Understandably, the rebellious teenage son role was cast with an actor who isn't too hard on the eyes.
172	* UnwittingPawn: Due to finding nothing suspicious about the Vs and seeing the Peace Ambassador program as a place to belong, he ends up easily manipulated by the Vs.
173
174	!!Valerie Stevens
175	-->'''Played by:''' Creator/LourdesBenedicto
176
177	%%* InterspeciesRomance
178	%%* WackyCravings
179
180	!!Chad Decker
181	-->'''Played by:''' Creator/ScottWolf
182
183	* IntrepidReporter: When he isn't pretending to be part of the Vs' PR machine, he's getting to the bottom of what they're doing.
184	* UnwittingPawn: But only mildly. At the very least, he is making an effort to get as much out of the relationship as Anna is. Still, Anna knows how to play him when she needs to. [[spoiler:Now that Anna knows he's part of the Fifth Column, he might be expendable.]]
