History Characters / BlackMirrorMenAgainstFire

* ObliviouslyEvil: Since she has a MASS like every other soldier, she doesn't see the reality as it is and thus thinks she is killing monsters when it is actually innocent human beings.

* TheBadGuyWins: Arquette gets exactly what he wants and is free to continue carrying out the Roach genocide, thanks to the only person who can stop him having their memory erased.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Subverted. Arquette knows that [[HumansAreGood humans don't actually want to kill each other since they are a genuinely empathetic species]], and that is the reason for why the MASS system was invented: to make the "enemies" look like boogeymen instead of people.
** Double-Subverted as he still thinks that Stripe should understand why they are committing a genocide since he thinks the target has [[FantasticRacism "inferior genetics"]].

* PsychoPsychologist: A military psychologist who authorities genocide against entire countries.

* SocialDarwinist: The reason for why he supports the genocide is because he believes that the Roaches have inferior genetics, claiming that they have higher risks of getting various diseases and proclivities for criminal behavior and so on.
* TheSociopath: For this episode. In addition to being a manipulative and genocidal social Darwinist, he replays Stripe's memory of killing innocents in front of his eyes, and is willing to do so on a loop if Stripe doesn’t agree to continue the mission.

* FauxActionGirl: She has good aim and excellent tracking skills, but considering her targets are unarmed defenceless civilians, it's not very impressive. She also gets easily overpowered by Stripe, who while more muscular than her, is not a violent person.

* EvilSoundsDeep: Has a pretty deep voice, since that is what Michael Kelly is really good at.

* HateSink: Arquette gleefully enables the genocide of entire populations whom he deems unworthy. He's a manipulative, sadistic bastard who administers the deaths of innocents to fulfill his racist ideology. He is easily one of the evilest villains to ever appear in black mirror.

* SadisticChoice: Gives Stripe one at the end of the episode.
