    Chase McCain 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chase-mccain-nat-w350-h450_3757.png
"I'm Chase... Chase McCain."
Voiced By: Joseph May
A legend among the police officers of Lego City (at least in Honey's eyes).

After being Reassigned to Antarctica because he revealed Natalia's anonymous witness identity to Rex Fury, he returns at the request of the Mayor due to Rex Fury's escape from prison. Chase will use and do anything in order to get close to the villain. Has a crush on Natalia.


  • Absurd Phobia: French parrots. No, seriously.
  • The Ace: He's good at pretty much everything from doing cool parkour stunts to fixing fuse boxes. And, of course, he's the best-darned cop on the Lego City Police Force.
  • And That's Terrible: Considers destroying sandcastles to be a very heinous crime.
  • Clothes Make the Superman: His disguises enable him to use various skills. Lampshaded by Frank Honey in the remastered version's loading screen hints; he notes that the Rex Fury disguises somehow "magically" give him the ability to use orange handles.
  • Cowboy Cop: He's not afraid to break the law and work with gangsters in order to capture Rex Fury.
  • Drives Like Crazy: He is acknowledged to be an absolutely terrible driver with no regard for traffic laws, likely reflecting the average player's own terrible driving skills due to the game's wild handling and fast speed when driving vehicles, and their bad habits due to there being no punishment for breaking laws (even if you normally somehow manage to drive fully within the law in free roam, missions will require you to break every law in the book). This is lampshaded frequently.
    Old Quiang: Your complete lack of respect for traffic laws proves that you are an awful person and to be commended.
  • Gameplay and Story Segregation: You can change to his Civilian outfit where he doesn't even wear anything to cover his identity, yet the mafia gangs can't tell the difference anyway.
  • Going Home Again: He gets Reassigned to Antarctica due to revealing Natalia's anonymous witness identity to Rex Fury. When Fury breaks out of prison, he's called back to Lego City, where his confidence and case-solving track start to slowly recuperate.
  • Hair Color Dissonance: His early model in real life has light brown hair instead of dirty blonde.
  • The Hero: The main character of the game and probably the most heroic and selfless (aside from the wanton destruction he tends to cause) of all the characters.
  • Heroic BSoD: It's minor, but you can hear Chase break up when he struggles to admit that he let Rex get away in the final level. He gets better when Chief Dunby happily reveals to him that they've only just recently arrested Rex after he landed in someone's toilet.
  • Heroic Comedic Sociopath: It's practically part of his job description to engage in frequent destruction of property and violating the peace and order of civilians if it means catching criminals. He even has Hero Insurance for when his actions result in massive amounts of money loss. However, even as he engages in borderline sociopathic behaviour while enforcing the law, his humorous personality and badassery make it hard to hate him, with even the populace of LEGO City cheering him on despite often being collateral damage.
  • Improbable Weapon User: Some of the outfits he uses fall into this trope. While there are awesome ones like the space gun and his Matrix-styled moves, there's also the color gun and... a chicken that poops eggs.
  • Instant Expert: For gameplay convenience, anything he gets his hands on he can immediately use like a pro, even if such things would normally take years to learn. He does have to go through a bit of training to perform advanced combat and use the Fireman disguise but it only takes one level.
  • Job System: The eight outfits he has are literally different jobs, those jobs being, in unlock order, Civilian, Police Officer, Criminal, Miner, Astronaut, Farmer, Fireman, and Construction Worker.
  • Married to the Job: The reason why Natalia doesn't want to love him back. He chooses her over his job in the end.
  • Master of Disguise: This is a mechanic, where Chase can change into various outfits. He's also able to easily disguise himself and sneak into gangs without being found out (though he has some trouble at first due to being a bit too much of a good guy).
  • Meaningful Name: Chase McCain is a rather fitting name for somebody that will relentlessly pursue any and all criminals, both physically and mentally, until every one of them is behind bars and stays there.
  • Only Sane Man: Aside from Ellie, Chase is the only person in the LCPD who really does his job.
  • Reassigned to Antarctica: Happens twice in the plot, the first time as described above, and the second time (with Frank Honey) is to be kept out of trouble and ultimately the Rex Fury case after a string of robberies done undercover which cost the police department a lot of money.
  • Surrounded by Idiots: Silently gives off this impression during the game's first real mission, shaking his head and Facepalming while watching a large faction of cops get pranked by bank-robbing clowns early on in the game.
  • Wholesome Crossdresser: Can use female disguises as well as adopt their stances.

    Frank Honey 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/frank-honey-w350-h450_4679.png
"Chase McCain!? You're a legend!"
Voiced By: Trevor White
A young and very inexperienced police officer whose way too many blunders while working leave a lot to be desired. He's a complete utter fanboy for Chase and "assists" him in his missions.
  • Ascended Fanboy: Gets to work with his idol Chase during missions, whether Honey ends up doing nothing or just goofing off.
  • Animals Hate Him: He seems to get on the bad side of almost every animal he meets, most notably Sheriff Huckleberry's squirrel deputy. The one exception is a farm horse that apparently liked him enough that they spend time together relaxing, and even that was a case of Fire-Forged Friends after they got off on the wrong foot due to an Ass Shove incident.
  • Attention Whore: During Ellie's introduction. A peppy Honey keeps getting in the way of the screen so she can look at him.
  • Broken Pedestal: Played for Laughs, as in classic fashion, he indicates Chase's undercover position as a real Face–Heel Turn. Luckily, Chase is able to set him straight easily.
  • Butt-Monkey: Quite a lot of comically bad things happen to him, either due to his own poor choices or just plain bad luck.
  • Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Frank isn't really on the same mental wavelength as anybody, let alone sane folk like Chase. For example:
    "He rebuilt my house when I destroyed my house when I was decorating my house. Did you know you're not supposed to rewire a bathtub?"
  • Clueless Deputy: Quite a few characters through the game question why he's on the police force when he's a Lethally Stupid idiot.
  • Depending Upon the Undependable: Dunby frequently tasks him with important police work despite him constantly making it clear how bad he is at policing. Especially when Dunby had Frank be the one to bring back a new prison van, and after he crashes it right into the police station, Mayor Gleeson understandably chews Dunby out for giving an important job to a known incompetent.
  • Distressed Dude: He gets kidnapped once because he's the son of a rich family, though he never makes the connection.
  • The Ditz: To put it simply: he's really dumb and rather clueless about the world, making it curious how he even got accepted to work as a policeman.
  • Drives Like Crazy: He's crashed almost every vehicle he's seen driving on screen and, according to Ellie, loses two cars a week. Near the end of the story, he does manage to get one of Kowalski's trucks to Blackwell Tower in one piece, which is a marked improvement for him.
  • Hopeless with Tech: Frank should really be banned from ever handling technology, since at best he causes some malfunctions, while at worst he causes things to explode.
  • Keet: He's extremely hyperactive and always cheerful (whether he's annoying but lovable is up to you).
  • Lethally Stupid: Frank Honey's general lack of intelligence tends to cause destruction. It doesn't set back Chase's investigation, but it does rack up lots of collateral damage.
  • Let's Get Dangerous!: Manages to not only successfully drive a truck across the city, but do it with minimal collateral damage while racing to deliver Dr Kowalski's repulsion field prototypes to save the city.
  • Malaproper: He sometimes mispronounces words, such as referring to computers as "compupers".
  • Manchild: In spite of being old enough to work on the police force, he's mentally on the level of a 5-year-old, being easily distracted, not understanding complex things, and essentially having a Precocious Crush on Ellie despite being close in age. The fact he only graduated from Police Kindergarten two years before the game despite his age, implicitly because he was Held Back in School for being dumber than an average child, really highlights this.
  • Mr. Exposition: Becomes this in the remastered version's loading screens. He gives surprisingly-detailed facts about gameplay such as the Robber disguise being able to destroy ATMs,note  the Forrest Blackwell scandal and why you're able to purchase and create Super Builds. He destroyed all of them by accident.
  • Nepotism: The fact his parents frequently pay to fix the destruction he causes during police work heavily implies he's only on the force because they're pay-rolling the precinct, essentially using the police as babysitters so they don't have to deal with him themselves. Chase learning this fact causes him to note he now understands how Frank joined the force despite being a Clueless Deputy.
  • Rich in Dollars, Poor in Sense: His family owns a prestigious hotel at Paradise Sands, and they often pay for whatever damages his idiocy may incur.
  • Stalker with a Crush: Towards Ellie. Honey is basically a puppy around her.
  • Walking Shirtless Scene:
    • When Chase finds him (and a horse) in the pool at his family's hotel.
    • This happens offscreen while Chief Dunby tells Chase about an event outside Blackwell Tower they're at.

    Chief Marion Dunby 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chief-w350-h225_7357.png
"Briefing room! One minute!"
Voiced By: Kerry Shale
The current chief of police of Lego City, the former deputy during the prequel. He's a completely stubborn chief who dislikes Chase's guts, but Dunby is always under pressure from the mayor and Forrest Blackwell.
  • Da Chief: He always had shades of this character type, being gruff, having a Hair-Trigger Temper, and sporting a rather nice moustache, but he only really counts as this following his promotion between The Chase Begins and Undercover.
  • Donut Mess with a Cop: The giant stack of doughnuts Honey was brought to the station? That was all for Dunby.
  • Hair-Trigger Temper: He's almost always angry and it doesn't take much to set him off.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Chief Dunby is a perpetually grumpy, glory-hogging jerk, but at the end of the day, he's willing to admit when he's wrong and genuinely wants to make Lego City a safer place. Indeed, most of his hostility towards Chase seems to stem from the latter's bungling of the original Rex Fury case rather than mindless malice.
  • Mean Boss: On a nice day, he shouts at people and knocks reports over.
  • Oh, Crap!: Whenever Mayor Gleeson is around, he tends to panic since his job basically relies on staying on her good side.

    Ellie Phillips

"This is a police communicator. It does everything your old phone did and a whole lot more."
Voiced By: Jaimi Barbakoff
The Gadgeteer Genius of the Lego City's Police Department. She provides Chase with all the intel he needs to clear his missions.
  • American Accents: A very thick Southern accent.
  • Canine Companion: She has a Big Friendly Dog at her house that looks threatening but is quite loving, though he's not a Heroic Dog because he's too friendly, with the biggest threat he could pose being the potential for a criminal having a dog allergy.
  • Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: Plays this role with Honey, usually acting as a parental substitute for him. She occasionally compliments him on showing signs of learning from his many, many mistakes.
  • Exposition Fairy: She's responsible for giving Chase most of the game's exposition, catching him up on events that happened while he was gone and explaining the Police Communicator's functions to him.
  • Gadgeteer Genius: She provided Chase with his communicator, and provides upgrades for it as the game progresses.
  • Mission Control: Often serves this role when she's not dispensing upgrades for Chase's hardware, providing him information/logistical assistance and generally helping coordinate his manhunt for Rex.
  • Only Sane Man: Amongst the LCPD staff, at least. Between Dunby's overt hostility and Frank being Frank, she's pretty much the only person Chase can rely on at HQ.
  • Southern-Fried Genius: She has a Dixie accent, and she's the one who fills Chase in with all the intel he needs.

Criminals

    Rex Fury (Major Unmarked spoilers
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rex_fury-w350-h225_4712.png
"Long time no see, McCain."
Voiced By: Tom Clarke Hill
The Big Bad of The Chase Begins and Undercover, though only initially for the latter until some plot revelations. He's an extremely dangerous criminal who kickstarts a crime wave across the entire city.
  • Big Bad: The man you need to arrest who's supposedly behind Lego City's crime wave, at least until it turns out he's The Dragon for Blackwell. Is the genuine main villain for the prequel The Chase Begins, though.
  • Carpet of Virility: Rex is astonishingly hirsute for a man made of plastic.
  • The Dragon: He turns out to be working for Forrest Blackwell.
  • Dumb Muscle: Despite his impressive strength, he was rearrested very easily prior to Undercover due to using a lawnmower as an escape vehicle.
  • Enfant Terrible: A criminal from the age of six.
  • Gameplay and Story Integration: His strength is displayed in an early cutscene where after Chase manages to handcuff him, Rex simply destroys them easily.
  • Handicapped Badass: Being half-blind does nothing to lessen his well-deserved reputation as a fearsome criminal.
  • Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Even if you didn't know he was a criminal Rex Fury is the kind of name that sets off a ton of red flags.
  • Red Right Hand: He has one blind eye.
  • Super-Strength: After clearing the game, all of his disguises can break objects with orange handles across all the levels and areas. Notably, his outfits do have a gameplay mechanic unique to them, unlike the other dozens of non-class-specific disguises in-game.
  • Tattooed Crook: He wears an impressive red tattoo on his left arm.
  • Walking Shirtless Scene: He's always showing off his body until he gets clothes on during the last levels.

"No, no I am not Freeman. His lawyers might be watching."
Voiced By: Josh Robert Thompson
One of the shady prisoners from Albatross Island who knows about Rex Fury's escape from prison. He's into Jail Bake to use goods, though his recipients often don't realize this until they eat the smuggled items.
  • Cool Old Guy: Like the character he's based on.
  • Friend in the Black Market: Just like the character he's based on he serves the role of Albatross Island's resident Guy Who Knows How to Get Things. These include such things as a car and a hot tub (the latter of which is part of the reason he helps Chase since Rex owed him for it).
  • Jail Bake: His typical MO for smuggling goods into the prison, if the elderly guard's comments are anything to go by. Sadly, one of the criminals he smuggles a car for doesn't realize he wasn't supposed to eat the cake before taking the car out first.
  • Lampshade Hanging: One of his fellow inmates keeps mistaking him for a... ahem, certain famous actor, and keeps trying to make Actor Allusion comments. Blue is having none of it.
  • Lawyer-Friendly Cameo: Of a somewhat famous actor, in a prominent role.
    I'm not Freeman. His lawyers might be listening.
  • Only in It for the Money: He helps Chase catch Rex solely so he can get his money owed from purchases.

    Chan Chuang 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/0c0587fb_f5d4_4ac9_a371_e8ffdf1b5bb9.jpeg
"I AM VERY MILD MANNERED!"
Voiced By: Unknown
The leader of one of the two mafias of Lego City, his having a triad theme going on. He owns a scrapyard and is known for evading the police quite frequently until Chase rescues Natalia from them.
  • Bad Boss: Fired Old Quiang for getting too familiar with him, though he does regret it, considering it was his father.
  • Faux Affably Evil: He tries speaking to people in a calm, polite voice, but the slightest mistake WILL PROVOKE HIM INTO SHOUTING FURIOUSLY!
  • Hair-Trigger Temper: Anything, up to and including NOTHING, can and will set him off.
  • Large Ham: He is always talking calmly and composed UNTIL SOME NINCOMPOOP FORCES HIM TO YELL BECAUSE OF THEIR STUPIDITY! YOU'RE FIRED! When he doesn't have anybody to yell at, he even goes out to the street to yell at people.
  • Right-Hand Cat: Parodied, he has a rabbit that he strokes whenever he loses his temper. And that rabbit is also prone to attacking him.
  • Suddenly Shouting: Whenever he loses his temper.
  • The Triads and the Tongs: His gang, like everything else in Lego City, is a parody of this.

    Vinnie Pappalardo 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/5ee48517_22b0_4a38_bb02_cb3226e9007b.jpeg
"You must be Chase. You come highly recommended. I won't forget what you did for my cousin."
Voiced By: John Guerrasio
The leader of one of the two mafias of Lego City, his having a The Godfather theme going on. He owns a popular ice cream factory and an ice cream parlor, though he secretly has his own men steal important valuables for his secret buyers.
  • Affably Evil: Unlike Chan, he's more easy-going to work with, genuinely loves his family, and only gets angry about things that deserve it.
  • Bait-and-Switch: Frequently uses metaphors (usually euphemisms for death) that are actually literal, such as how a guy who used to work for him "bought the farm" even after he told him it was a bad investment.
  • Cool and Unusual Punishment: Brain-freezing his captors. The remastered version has Frank talk in a loading screen about how he owns a shoe store where the shoes are all made of concrete, but it's not clear as to whether this is Frank being Literal-Minded and Vinnie does indeed perform executions in this manner, or if this is another one of Vinnie's Literal Metaphors, and they are indeed normal shoes that are made of concrete.
  • Death by Irony: Subverted. Chase manages to save him after he gets locked into his own freezer.
  • Doting Parent: The first time he's introduced, we see him wearing a clown outfit because he was acting as one for his son's birthday.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Unlike Chan who is such a jerk that he'd fire even his own father, Vinnie loves and cherishes his son, cousin Moe, and mother, and Chase gets in his good graces by helping out Moe.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Really isn't fond of Rex Fury and advises Chase against trying to meet him.
  • Human Popsicle: He gets locked inside a freezer by Rex Fury's thugs, but luckily you rescue him from this.
  • Karma Houdini: Despite Chan getting most likely imprisoned during Natalia's kidnapping, Vinnie avoids any sort of criminal prosecution altogether by the game's conclusion.
  • Literally Shattered Lives: He literally falls apart after falling out of his freezer frozen solid. Luckily, since he lives in the self-aware LEGO universe, Death Is Cheap, albeit still chilled from the experience.
  • Literal Metaphor: In a comedic subversion of the usual mafia boss lingo, Vinnie has a Running Gag of saying common Deadly Euphemisms while meaning them literally, such as a man "sleeping with the fishes" being reassigned to aquarium night watch, and a man that "bought the farm" simply making a bad monetary investment.
  • Neighbourhood-Friendly Gangsters: A lot friendlier than Chan, by a long stretch.
  • Pie in the Face: Does this with a plate full of ice cream to one of Rex Fury's gang leaders after he asks for sprinkles with his "punishment".
  • Sharp-Dressed Man: As can be seen in his picture, he wears a quite nice suit.
  • Shout-Out: In the scene where we find he's dressed as a clown, he's asking one of his men whether he thinks he's funny.
  • Spanner in the Works: Vinnie's attempted robbery of Forrest Blackwell's mansion. This causes Rex Fury's thugs to turn against him and lock him in his own parlor's freezer. The problem is that Vinnie genuinely had no idea Blackwell was connected to Fury; he just wanted to blow off some frustration and had no idea why Fury turned on him over this. This sudden betrayal eventually results in Chase discovering Blackwell's direct involvement.

    Moe De Luca

"I can do this sentence standing on my head... thanks to my circus training."
Voiced By: Unknown
Vinnie's cousin & right-hand man. He carries out most of the thefts across the city to obtain the valuables for the secret buyers.
  • Affably Evil: Like his cousin, he's a rather nice and polite guy. According to Ellie, he's not even technically a criminal aside from his unpaid parking tickets and association with Vinnie.
  • A Fool for a Client: He defended himself and insulted the judge in his trial, which is the reason he got sentenced to eight years in prison.
  • The Dragon: He's described as Vinnie's right-hand man.
  • Justice by Other Legal Means: He was sentenced to eight years imprisonment for... four hundred and twelve unpaid parking tickets, and supposedly for his various other crimes from working for Vinnie.
  • Literal-Minded: Seems to share Vinnie's habit of using metaphors literally, stating that he can do his prison sentence standing on his head thanks to his circus training.
  • Sibling Rivalry: When giving his brother's car to Chase, Moe adds that he doesn't like his brother, so Chase can feel free to damage it.

Other Characters

    Natalia Kowalski 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/natalia-w350-h225_1610.png
"If Rex could come after me then I'm not sticking around."
Voiced By: Jules de Jongh
An intrepid reporter who was in love with Chase until he screwed her up by revealing her witness identity to Rex Fury. In Undercover, she dyed her hair blond to stay anonymous, yet she still gets in danger anyway.
  • Action Girl: It only lasts her a few good minutes when Chase chases (no pun intended) after her while she's disguised as a ninja, but she's got some decent skills when she's not being held hostage.
  • Ambiguously Jewish: Both her real (Kowalski) and witness protection (Smith) second names are commonly associated with Jewish people, she had brown hair before dying them, and her father appears to be modeled after Albert Einstein.
  • Damsel in Distress: She has a bad habit of getting captured and requiring Chase to save her.
  • Disappeared Dad: She secretly searches for her missing dad in Undercover.
  • Dumb Blonde: Downplayed. She's not dumb, but she's very bad at her job and a bit ditzy. She is also not a natural blonde, having dyed her hair for witness protection.
  • Dye Hard: In-Universe. She was a brunette in The Chase Begins until she dyed it blond in Undercover to remain anonymous. It fails.
  • Gratuitous Ninja: She dresses up as a ninja when Chase chases her.
  • Hartman Hips: In the grand tradition of modern female minifigs, she has them printed onto her torso.
  • Intrepid Reporter: During The Chase Begins until Chase clumsily reveals her anonymous witness status to the public.
  • The Medic: Sadly, she's anything but an expert at her job judging the glimpses we get. In her introductory cutscene, while talking on the phone she shocks her first response partner with an EKG. Her idle animation has her using a large syringe as a gun and juggling said thing...until she lets it fall on her foot with the pointy end. She stares into space and shrugs it off while putting it away. Surprisingly, her dad reveals to Chase that she's much happier as this rather than a reporter.
  • Too Dumb to Live: During her introductory cutscene, when Chase has called her after returning to town, she yells — flat out yells, within earshot of any number of people — that she IS IN WITNESS PROTECTION!
  • Tsundere: Decidedly Tsun throughout the first half of the game, and only really shows her Deredere side in the latter half.

    Mayor Gleeson 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/f6b00902_ebc9_4d7b_bf55_ffb8e22a6bb0.jpeg
"Get to the Station and get me Rex Fury!"
Click here  to see her as Chief of Police
Voiced By: Larissa Murray
The mayor of Lego City in Undercover and former chief of the police department in The Chase Begins. She's the one who calls Chase to arrest Rex Fury.
  • Da Chief: Was the Chief in The Chase Begins before her election.
  • Prematurely Grey-Haired: Despite only two years passing between The Chase Begins and Undercover note ), her hair has already started graying.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: Certainly compared to Dunby. It's Gleeson who calls Chase back into town to catch Rex Fury, and she is decidedly not happy when she finds out Dunby has been trying to get Chase Reassigned to Antarctica.
  • Silver Vixen: Has grey hair, and visible age lines on her face, and is quite good-looking for a Minifig.
  • Surrounded by Idiots: How she feels about the LCPD. Well, specifically Dunby and Honey, not Chase himself.
  • Women Are Wiser: A lot more reasonable and level-headed than Dunby.

    Forrest Blackwell (Major Unmarked Spoilers
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bf41d94c_949b_4d90_b3b5_e6ae3ffa3e98.png
Butler: Give Mr. Blackwell some privacy. He merely wishes to go somewhere mysterious for secretive reasons he doesn't want you to know about.
A multi-billionaire who wished to construct an apartment block with a shopping mall in Bluebell Park until the discovery of a rare squirrel (most likely the same one Duke Huckleberry has in his post) denied him the chance. This little incident turned him into a very bitter person, resulting in him enlisting Rex Fury's help to start a wave of crimes across the city to fulfil his wish...and even more than that.
  • Aristocrats Are Evil: He's a high-profile businessman and also evil.
  • Devil in Plain Sight: Millionaire with a low British accent and a wicked laugh? He isn't exactly hiding his nature...
  • Distressed Dude: He gets abducted at one point by kidnappers, and Chase has to save him.
  • Escort Mission: At two points in Undercover, the player has to drive him from one location to another. The first trip has to avoid some extremely persistent paparazzi, while the second simply requires you to avoid driving into walls by accident.
  • Evil Brit: Peter Serafinowicz brings a classic exaggerated posh British accent, alongside some cocky high-class British mannerisms, that really highlights just how evil he is.
  • Evil Laugh: His lasts for almost a whole good minute.
  • Evil Sounds Deep: Has a rather deep voice and is, of course, evil.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Won't hurt a lady, but is perfectly fine with making them watch their loved ones get squashed.
  • Freudian Excuse: The Forrest Blackwell Scandal. He had plans to build a hybrid of a shopping mall and an apartment block which in his eyes, was an Utopian habitat where the inhabitants would never have to leave. His plans were scrapped when his site at Bluebell National Park was cancelled upon the discovery of a rare squirrel, which made matters worse since he'd already spent billions developing and finishing Blackwell Bridge to connect to the Uptown district.
  • Hopeless with Tech: Forest Blackwell is surprisingly bad with tech for such a genius planner, as he can't get the computer's video screen to focus on his face, and the audio distorts his voice (in a parody of being The Faceless), which even Rex Fury, Dumb Muscle that he is, points out.
  • Ironic Name: His name is Forrest, but he's a real estate mogul who has zero concern for the environment.
  • Karma Houdini: He is never captured in the game despite being the true Big Bad. However...
  • Karma Houdini Warranty: In LEGO Dimensions he is finally captured for his crimes.
  • Large Ham: Who else could make an Evil Laugh last a full minute?
  • Malaproper: He refers to his computer as a "compuper" the same way Frank Honey does.
  • The Man Behind the Man: Forrest Blackwell is secretly the one giving orders to Rex Fury.
  • Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Likes to use big words and yet he can't pronounce "computer" properly.
  • The Unfought: The player never fights him. The closest he gets to facing Chase is when he appears in a small craft, but then a cow suddenly flies into him and knocks him away. LEGO Dimensions, while not a direct sequel to LEGO City Undercover, does allow the player to finally face him, after finding his lair in the LEGO City Adventure World.
  • Utopia Justifies the Means: His main motive is to create the perfect world on the moon, even if it causes the destruction of Lego City.
  • Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: Most of the game is as light-hearted as LEGO usually goes, with even Rex and the crime bosses having plenty of silliness to them. But once Forrest reveals his true character, he shows himself to be quite the morally bankrupt monster, willing to kill countless people if it means achieving his goals, and if Chase wasn't around to stop him he potentially could've succeeded.
  • Walking Spoiler: His evilness is already pretty obvious, but the extent of his goals isn't revealed until near the end of the game and recontextualizes quite a few things from before the reveal.
  • Wouldn't Hit a Girl: Claims that he wouldn't do this to a lady.

"Somebody, get him to the chopper... I mean hospital."
Voiced By: Josh Robert Thompson
The identical twin foremen of the construction site in Paradise Sands. They greatly enjoy watching old movies.
  • The Ahnold: Taken to logical extremes as not only are they blatant shoutouts to Arnold Schwarzenegger, almost everything they say either has the title of an Arnold movie in it or at least references one.
  • Always Identical Twins: Just for the sake of humor, Albert and Werner have absolutely zero differences between them, not only having the same face and The Ahnold voice but wearing the exact same work outfit.
  • Large Ham: In addition to their guttural Arnold-style voices making everything they say bombastic, they often make random roar-screams like Arnold does in action movies and will yell angrily about the stupidity of their workers.
  • Speaks in Shout-Outs: As part of them being The Ahnold, every other line they say is a reference to an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie.
