18
19	Father of Logan and father-in-law to William, James Delos is the founder of Delos Incorporated and an investor in Westworld.
20	----
21	* AxCrazy: The degradation his host body undergoes turns him into a violent maniac who hurts others and himself.
22	* BeardOfEvil: Delos has a short, neat beard, and is a pretty unethical person.
23	* BrainUploading: He's used as the test subject for Delos's plans to sell immortality through host bodies, which ends up a dismal failure with hundreds of failed attempts every time a copy of his mind is uploaded into a physical body.
24	* CorruptCorporateExecutive: He's convinced to partner with Westworld by the potential to gather illegal information on a bunch of rich and powerful people. Aside from that, William remarks that he's always been an extremely unethical businessman.
25	* DeathByIrony: He even thinks so himself.
26	--> "I'm dying of a disease whose research I defunded fifteen years ago. I think my sense of humor is fucking intact."
27	* TheDreaded: Nobody outside his family (save for William) dares to speak to him with anything less than deferential politeness.
28	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: A philanderer and a ruthless businessman, but he genuinely loves his daughter, wife, and possibly even his son. The brain scan version of him snaps for ''good'' after he learns William unintentionally pushed his daughter to suicide.
29	* EvilOldFolks: He's a CorruptCorporateExecutive in his older years, although age hasn't diminished his greed or sharpness.
30	* FacialHorror: His final and extremely degraded host body has cut his face to shreds trying to shave by the time Bernard and Elsie find him.
31	* FateWorseThanDeath: The original Delos may have died peacefully, but his brain scan was essentially left in a constant limbo and slow degradation alone in a chamber as he lived past all his surviving family.
32	* Fiction500: Delos has enormous wealth; he funds Westworld, which in itself is massively expensive.
33	* {{Foil}}: [[spoiler:To Bernard, in terms of being a host. Bernard was created with Arnold as a basis, but they are two fundamentally different individuals in attitude, mannerisms, and initiative, as Bernard is simply an "Arnold" that could not contradict Ford. As a matter of fact, Ford created Bernard ''in spite'' of Arnold, with no sense of self until the barriers placed on the hosts are lifted. Delos, on the other hand, was willing to have a host created to his image and semblance with the firm intention of having a non-withering, undying body where he could place his mind in order to leave behind his own feeble human body. However, after spending decades in order to make the host Delos's mind accept the reality of being a host, William was not able to make it live more than 31 days without its mind going to shit once its nature is revealed to it. As it was, Delos's sense of "self" became the barrier for its host to live.]]
34	* IncurableCoughOfDeath: The cause of his retirement.
35	* LaserGuidedKarma: Delos ended up dying of a disease whose research he defunded fifteen years before he got it himself. Considering how far medical science has advanced in the Westworld universe, there almost certainly would have been a cure after fifteen years. Delos himself has a bitter sense of humor about the whole thing.
36	* LastLousyPoint: [[spoiler:His host never was able to get past the plateau signifying the acceptance of its own reality; at the most, William was barely able to make it live 31 days, though it took him decades on end to be able to reach those meager numbers. Still, it's implied that William was merely using him as the means to an end, as it's his interest to create a host from a different person. Uncertain of Delos's last host's progress, and tired of the whole thing, William just abandons it to its fate]].
37	* PosthumousCharacter: He died of a disease before the proper events of the show began. [[spoiler:In spite of attempts to revive him through Westworld tech, his original self died long before the start of the series.]]
38	* RagsToRiches: Behind-the-scenes material strongly implies that he really did come from nothing, but has built himself into a titan of industry.
39	* RefugeInAudacity: It's William's frank honesty that impresses Delos the most.
40	-->'''William:''' This is the only place in the world where you get to see people for who they really are. And if you don't see the business in that, then you're not the businessman that I thought you were.
41	-->'''Delos:''' You're a cheeky little cunt, aren't you? There's not a man alive would talk to me like that. Not anymore. ''[{{beat}}]'' Okay. Talk to me. I'm listening.
42	* SanitySlippage: The technology he hoped would keep him alive ends up having severe limits, resulting in him reaching a "cognitive plateau" that he never overcomes. There's nowhere to go but down, and William has him reset every time this happens...until the last times, when William decides his degradation should be studied. He goes entirely insane.
43	* SelfMadeMan: The "Inside the Episode" featurette on Delos's first appearance explicitly describes him as this.
44	* VirtualGhost: Even though his host duplicates are a constant failure, copies of Delos are stored inside the Forge.
45	* WellDoneSonGuy: His relationship with Logan is, uh, "strained". Logan considers him blind to the future, and Delos considers Logan to be a "fuck-up" who made a bad investment. The host copy of Delos still cares for Logan though, howling for him when he discovers his wife and daughter are dead.

48	[[folder:Blaine]]
49	!!Blaine Bellamy
50	->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/ChristopherMay
51
52	A board member at Delos.
53	----
54	* {{Jerkass}}: He isn't exactly the best representative for the Delos Board, being a short-tempered jerk. He kills an innocent young farm boy just because the boy is a host and Blake is scared. To be fair, he'd just seen all the other hosts mow down his colleagues, but the act is still astonishingly brutal.
55	* UnwittingPawn: Angela lets him go from her ambush that kills the rest of Bernard and Hale's group, so that she can follow him to an entrance to Livestock.

63
64	Maling is a private military contractor hired to rescue members of the Westworld board from hosts who have gone off their loops.
65	----
66	* {{Jerkass}}: Much like her boss, she's kind of an asshole.
67	* NumberTwo: She's Strand's second-in-command.

70	[[folder:Coughlin]]
71	!!Coughlin
72	->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/TimothyVMurphy
73
74	-->''"Amateur hour is over."''
75
76	The leader of the Delos extraction team.
77	----
78	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: He parachutes in and greets a polite Ashley Stubbs with nothing but disdain and insults, establishing him as an egomanical prick.
79	* {{Jerkass}}: Coughlin is a swaggering asshole who seems to hate everyone who isn't a member of his own extraction team. He doesn't even seem to have much respect for Hale, who's ostensibly in charge.
80	* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: During the attack on the Mesa, he deals out one of these to Teddy, then makes the mistake of trying to deliver a PreMortemOneLiner, giving Teddy the opportunity to overpower him and pummel him to death.
81	* SirSwearsALot: His dialogue is peppered with fucks.
82	* TheWorldsExpertOnGettingKilled: He's the head of the Delos extraction team and is ''very'' confident in his ability to get the situation under control, but he's killed in the first real fight he encounters.
83	[[/folder]]
84
85	[[folder:Engels]]
86	!!Engels
87	->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/RonnieGeneBelvins
88
89	A member of the Delos extraction team.
90	----
91	* BeardOfEvil: He has a scruffy little beard and mercilessly guns down hosts.
92	* DistractedByTheSexy: He's completely disarmed when Angela starts seducing him, allowing her to get the drop on him and pull his grenade pin.
93	* {{Jerkass}}: He's a pretty basic asshole, full of smug overconfidence much like his boss.
94	* TooDumbToLive: Even after his team gets their ass kicked up and down by the hosts, Engels ''still'' allows himself to get intimately close to Angela when she plays her seductive game...only for her to pull the pin on his grenade and blow them both to smithereens.
95	* WeHardlyKnewYe: He gets little screen time or characterization, and exists mostly as an obstacle before getting killed.
96	[[/folder]]
97
98	!Incite Inc.
99
100	[[folder:Liam]]
101	!!Liam Dempsey Jr.
102	->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/JohnGallagherJr
103
104	The son of Rehoboam's creator and the CEO of Incite Inc.
105	----
106	* TheCon: Dolores seduces him to get to Rehoboam.
107	* DirtyCoward: As Dolores notes, he's not the type to kill someone...but he is the type to order someone killed. He's otherwise a self-serving, whiny weasel.
108	* FauxAffablyEvil: He seems like a much-bullied, even adorkable sucker at first, but later shows a much nastier side. It gradually becomes evident that he's always been a self-absorbed rich asshole.
109	* PuppetKing: He's actually a figurehead and has no access to Rehoboam itself. It seems he spends his time farting about with his idiot friends.
110	* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Dempsey rants about wanting to eliminate the drags on society, i.e. those less privileged than himself.
111	* UnreliableNarrator: Liam claims his father created Rehoboam in one week. [[spoiler:However, it's actually the Serac brothers who built Rehoboam and its predecessors (Solomon, David, Saul). Liam's father was just their benefactor who gave them the data and money to build it. He was even planning to shut it down because he was initially dissatisfied with the end result]].
112	[[/folder]]
113
114	[[folder:Martin]]
115	!!Martin Connells
116	->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/TommyFlanagan
117
118	Incite's head of security and Liam's fixer.
119	----
120	* BeardOfEvil: A short, well-groomed beard on a psychotic control freak.
121	* CorruptCorporateExecutive: The real big boss of Incite, and who has no problem in arranging murders to protect the company.
122	* DragonInChief: He's the one who is actually in charge of Incite, with Liam as a figurehead. Martin has zero compunction about making it clear to Liam who's ''really'' in charge, and seems to hold a good deal of bitterness over his role.
123	* KillAndReplace: [[spoiler:He's killed by Dolores and a host duplicate takes over his place.]]
124	* WouldHitAGirl: And kill her, to protect Incite.
125	[[/folder]]
126
127	!The Resistance
128
129	[[folder:Uwade]]
130	!!Uwade Nichols
131	->'''Portrayed By:''' Nozipho [=McLean=]
132
133	Caleb's wife
134	----
135	* FlorenceNightingaleEffect: This is how she meets Caleb, who was injured after finishing his mission to destroy the last Rehoboam unit.
136	* HappilyMarried: They clearly love each other though Caleb's paranoia and PTSD serve as an obstacle.
137	* HeroOfAnotherStory: [[spoiler:During the 23-year gap between Caleb's death and the present, she became the leader of the human resistance, looking for outliers. In the present day, she has died from cancer.]]
138	* MamaBear: When she learned from Frankie that [[spoiler:Carver is replaced by a host]], she tells her to hide while she grabs the gun from Caleb's safe and shoots the host dead when he goes near her daughter.
139	[[/folder]]
140
141	[[folder:Frankie]]
142	!!Frankie Nichols
143	->'''Portrayed By:''' Celeste Clark (child), [[spoiler:Creator/AuroraPerrineau (adult)]]
144
145	Caleb and Uwade's daughter. [[spoiler:And a member of the Resistance after Hale's global takeover]]
146	----
147	* AsLongAsThereIsOneMan: Caleb is aware that in case he fails or dies, Frankie would pick up his fight for a free world. [[spoiler:And he was right because Frankie follows in her father's footsteps to fight against Hale.]]
148	* ButchLesbian: [[spoiler:Typically seen dressed in a tank top, khakis, and combat boots, and is in a relationship with another female resistance fighter.]]
149	* ChildOfTwoWorlds: She's biracial, having a white dad and a black mom.
150	* CodeName: [[spoiler:As a member of the human resistance, she goes by the code name "C" which means "cookie", her father's pet name to her]]
151	* DaddysGirl: She loves her father very much. When Caleb leaves to stop William and Hale, she tries to contact him by using the radio. [[spoiler:This is one of the reasons why she follows and trusts Bernard because she believes that he may pave the way to find her dad.]]
152	* DeadGuyJunior: She's named after her father's dead friend, Francis.
153	* HeroOfAnotherStory: [[spoiler:Season 4's episode "Generation Loss" revealed that she grew up to be a human resistance fighter against Hale who has taken over the world 23 years later.]]
154	* NobleBigot: [[spoiler:As she grows older, she begins to despise hosts because she blames Maeve for her father's disappearance. However, she admits that what her father and Maeve did inspire many of the outliers to fight back.]]
155	* SherlockScan:
156	** She notices that something's off with Carver when he handed her back her teddy bear with a bloodstain on it. Then, she sees a blood trail on the porch.
157	** She's able to figure out that Bernard is a host based on the information that he told her (such as formerly working in Delos) [[spoiler:and that Jay is replaced by a Host because she knows that the real Jay is a jerk who never sees her as a sister.]]
158	* TookALevelInCynic: Frankie is introduced as a cheerful and friendly child. [[spoiler:However, as she grows older, she becomes cynical and stoic which is attributed to the loss of her parents during the 23-year gap.]]
159	* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: She seems to enjoy playing with toy guns which worries her mother because she got them from her father.
160	* TwoferTokenMinority: Is biracial and lesbian.
161	[[/folder]]
162
163	[[folder:Jay]]
164	!!Jay
165	->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/DanielWu
166
167	The leader of the human resistance,
168	----
169	* HeroOfAnotherStory: During the 23-year gap when Hale conquered the world, he's recruited by Uwade and Frankie to join the resistance after he's identified as an outlier. At present, he continues Uwade's role as the leader of the human resistance.
170	* KillAndReplace: [[spoiler:Becomes a victim of this after he and the rest of the resistance are separated during the outlier extraction mission, and he is shot in the head by a host version of himself.]]
171	* {{Jerkass}}: During his first meeting with young Frankie, he's very cold towards her saying that he doesn't want to be her brother. Even as he grows older, he still acts like a jerk toward her even though C is determined to find information about her father. [[spoiler:His rudeness is a clue to C when she spots that Jay has been replaced by a host during the outlier extraction mission.]]
172	[[/folder]]
173
174	!Other Humans
175
176	[[folder:Charlie]]
177	!!Charlie
178	->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/PaulMikelWilliams
179
180	Arnold Weber's son.
181	----
182	* TheLostLenore: To Arnold. Charlie's death from a fatal illness haunted Arnold for the rest of his life.
183	[[/folder]]
184
185	[[folder:Lauren]]
186	!!Lauren
187	->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/GinaTorres
188
189	Bernard's ex-wife.
190	----
191	* AmbiguousSituation: Just who or what she really is hasn't yet been explained. Her appearance on Bernard's video call was Ford in disguise, but it's unclear if she's based on Arnold's wife, or if Ford created her wholesale as part of Bernard's fictional identity. Until the Season 3 finale [[spoiler:where she turns to be alive as an old woman and is indeed Arnold's widow. She still keeps photos of her late husband and son as a way to cope with their death]].
192	* AmicableExes: With Bernard, or she would be, if she existed.
193	* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Her young son Charlie died.
194	[[/folder]]
195
196	[[folder:Juliet]]
197	!!Juliet Delos
198	->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/ClaireUnabia & Creator/SelaWard
199
200	William's wife, and Logan's sister.
201	----
202	* TheAlcoholic: Mirroring Logan's issues with drug abuse. She checked into rehab many times, but it didn't stick.
203	* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler:Juliet crosses it when she finds William's personality profile and watches it.]]
204	* DrivenToSuicide: After hearing from William that she is correct about the kind of person he really is and seeing further confirmation in his personality profile, she takes her own life.
205	* HopelessSuitor: Somewhat tragically, she is this for William, who never really returned her feelings to begin with and ended up becoming so obsessed with [[PresentAbsence Dolores]] that the possibility of genuinely connecting with his wife was a non-starter. When she drunkenly asks him if he ever loved her, he [[ConverseWithTheUnconscious waits until he thinks she's asleep]] and then gives a long-winded and vague response that essentially boils down to "no."
206	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Juliet tells William in drunken, but no uncertain, terms just what she thinks of him.
207	-->'''William:''' Juliet -
208	-->'''Juliet:''' No, you don't touch me, you liar! You fuckin' phony! You're a fucking virus! You came into this house, into my family, and you consumed it from the inside out! First my brother, then my father. And now it's me!
209	* SmallRoleBigImpact: Her suicide casts a long shadow, causing William to deeply question his identity and undertake his quest for the Maze, [[spoiler: and compelling their daughter Emily to hunt William down in the park, with devastating consequences.]]
210	* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Amazingly, the host revolution in the present day truly begins when Peter Abernathy finds a withered photo of Juliet that William had lost during his first visit to the park decades earlier. The malfunction this causes in Peter triggers Dolores's final journey to self-awareness.
211	* YankTheDogsChain: According to her, she originally fell for William when they were younger because she thought he was more genuine than the wealthy men she grew up around, only to later come to the conclusion that he was just better at faking it.
212	[[/folder]]
213
214	[[folder:Ash]]
215	!!Ash
216	->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/LenaWaithe
217
218	The leader of a small gang of criminals who commit crimes with Caleb.
219	----
220	* AmbiguousSituation: Ash is last seen being escorted away in handcuffs after getting caught during the riots. However, [[spoiler: it's possible that the police officers leading her away are the team of revolutionaries led by the Dolores copy disguised as Lawrence, as they are wearing the same SWAT uniforms.]]
221	* BadassLongcoat: Wears one during her first few appearances.
222	* BirdsOfAFeather: She and Caleb seem to have this dynamic.
223	* HiredGuns: As a RICO agent.
224	* KarmicOverkill: Liam didn't really deserve to be killed, but it's hard to blame Ash for shooting him after he goes on a tirade about how worthless the lower class like her are.
225	* LoudOfWar: She uses a hacking gadget to flood other people's listening devices with a blaring Death Grips song. Which comes in handy during missions too, as she can use it to suddenly disrupt her enemies by flooding their communications.
226	* MoralityPet: She has an offscreen younger brother she tries to support, hoping to give him the good life she never had. However, the Incite profiles reveal that, despite all that she's done to help him, her brother is fated to turn out even worse than her.
227	* PunchClockHero / PunchClockVillain: She and Giggles are quite morally grey. They're often committing petty crimes, but once Dolores starts hiring them, they are then aiding a revolution to overthrow the tyrannical Serac. Although, it's possible their roles in the riots around Incite are motivated by more than money after they've read their own profiles.
228	* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Giggles's red.
229	* ThoseTwoGuys: She and Giggles fill this role for Caleb's arc in Season 3.
230	[[/folder]]
231
232	[[folder:Giggles]]
233	!!Giggles
234	->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/MarshawnLynch
235
236	An eccentric criminal who works with Ash.
237	----
238	* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: He can be easily distracted while using his drip.
239	* TheBigGuy: He is played by a pro football star, and gets to display his brute strength during the San Francisco riots.
240	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Due to his frequent psychedelic drug use and [[ColdHam whacky personality,]] he comes off like this.
241	* FunctionalAddict: Is regularly "dripping" via his implant, but is still a fairly competent criminal.
242	* HiredGuns: Naturally.
243	* PunchClockHero / PunchClockVillain: He and Ash are quite morally grey. They're often committing petty crimes, but once Dolores starts hiring them, they are then aiding a revolution to overthrow the tyrannical Serac. Although, it's possible their roles in the riots around Incite are motivated by more than money after they've read their own profiles.
244	* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Ash's blue.
245	* ScaryBlackMan: Subverted. Giggles is a big, tough criminal who isn't afraid to get his hands dirty, but aside from that he's friendly, laid back and relatively benign.
246	* ThoseTwoGuys: He and Ash fill this role for Caleb's arc in Season 3.
247	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He takes a bullet for Caleb during the riots, but it's not known whether or not he dies of the wound.
248	* YourDaysAreNumbered: After seeing his profile, Liam claims that he's doomed to die. Since he later ends up getting shot during a riot, it appears he may have been right.
249	[[/folder]]
250
251	[[folder:Francis]]
252	!!Francis
253	->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/ScottMescudi
254
255	A friend of Caleb who was killed in combat and is now a virtual therapist to him.
256	----
257	* CompanionCube: We initially meet Francis in the form of one, as Caleb's AI therapist that imitates the original Francis.
258	* DeadStarWalking: Kid Cudi plays Caleb's fallen war buddy.
259	* DiedInYourArmsTonight: Dies in Caleb's arms after being killed in combat. [[spoiler: Or so Caleb thought. In reality, he was killed by Caleb after they turned on each other during a RICO kidnapping, and Caleb was conditioned to block those memories out in Serac's outlier program.]]
260	* MoralityPet: Revealed to be a single father struggling to provide for his child, [[spoiler: even as a high-earning RICO agent. Exploited, however, since this knowledge is used to bribe Francis into turning on Caleb after the latter first learned the truth about the System.]]
261	* PosthumousCharacter: Francis has been dead for years, but Caleb is still haunted by his memory.
262	* ShellshockedVeteran: [[spoiler: Ultimately revealed to be one, just like Caleb, since he didn't actually die in war.]]
263	* TheReveal: Contrary to what Caleb thought, [[spoiler: Francis wasn't killed in combat. Caleb killed him after the System turned them against each other.]]
264	* TheStoic: When we finally get a few substantive scenes of [[spoiler: the real Francis, they're all after he and Caleb have been brainwashed to hunt down outliers for Serac. Thanks to his reconditioning and a steady supply of emotion/memory suppressing drugs, Francis is an ice cold person who very casually turned on his old friend when a big paycheck was offered.]]

266
267	[[folder:Gerald]]
268	!!Gerald
269	->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/ThomasKretschmann
270
271	A former investor in Delos and Incite who has a history of domestic violence.
272	----
273	* AssholeVictim: He's more-or-less minding his own business when Dolores catches up with him, but he absolutely deserves his fate. Gerald is an angry, abusive piece of work with serious homicidal urges.
274	* BackstabBackfire: Dolores runs a VR projection of herself that Gerald tries to whack with a golf club, but right as he's taking a swing, she turns the projection off. His forward momentum causes him to fall into his pool [[KarmicDeath (the same one he killed his first wife in)]] and crack his skull open.
275	* TheBluebeard: He murdered his first wife when she tried to leave him, and he doesn't seem to treat his current wife particularly well.
276	* CorruptCorporateExecutive: He's a rich asshole who murdered his wife.
277	* ForcedToWatch: To deliver true karmic justice, Dolores straps him into a VR device that makes him relive his monstrous acts.
278	* KarmicDeath: Oh, so much. He murdered his much-abused first wife when he pushed her into a pool, cracking her skull in the process. Dolores give him every opportunity to simply let her leave...but he can't resist attacking her, resulting in him falling into that very same pool and cracking his skull open in the exact same manner. If he hadn't been such an angry brute, he wouldn't have died.
279	* WouldHitAGirl: He reserves much of his temper for women, and has dark urges involving violence toward women. He raped Dolores while in Westworld to "get it out of his system" but beat and killed his wife anyway.

282	[[folder:The Mortician]]
283	!!The Mortician
284	->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/ElizabethAnweis
285
286	An organ trafficker from the Singaporean criminal underworld hired by Dolores to [[spoiler:help her assume the identity of Lara Espin]].
287	----
288	* AttackOnTheHeart: She's shot in the chest, killing her instantly.
289	* OnlyKnownByHerNickname: Her name is never revealed, she's known as "the Mortician" in the criminal underworld.
290	* RedShirt: She brings Maeve to the Yakuza leader who she needs to track down Dolores, [[MesACrowd Dolores]] kills her for that.
291	* WeHardlyKnewYe: She's unceremoniously killed by [[MesACrowd Musashi!Dolores]] a few minutes after being introduced.
