5[[folder:Pablo]]
6!!Pablo Simon Bolivar
7[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bolivar_pablo_simon_1.jpg]]
8[[caption-width-right:350:''"I wish I had my rusty chain, yo!"'']]
9->'''Played By:''' Creator/RaySantiago
10
11-->''"Ash, I know you said that when I got hit I'd know what to do, but I just got hit and I don't know what to do!"''
12
13An idealistic immigrant who becomes Ash's loyal sidekick. Pablo believes in Ash's heroism, even if Ash himself doesn’t.
14----
15* ButtMonkey: While Ash is the bigger victim of slapstick, Pablo is usually the one who suffers from the Necronomicon's more esoteric attacks. He gets possessed by Deadites, is used as a physical vessel for the Necronomicon multiple times, [[OrificeEvacuation is used as a brood-mare for Ruby's demon-spawn]], dies and gets brought back to life, has horrifying visions of future events, and so on.
16* CowardlyLion: Meek, shy, and often terrified in the face of evil (and rightly so), but he never runs away from the fight. Most evident in "The Host" when he tries to force Eligos to possess him to save Kelly, despite claiming he's a pushover and won't struggle.
17* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Although he can be a genuine badass when pushed, most of his offhand attempts to impress Kelly by being "cool" come off as less than remarkable. That being said, he does become surprisingly better as the series progresses, showing that while Pablo might be a NonActionGuy he can be a badass when needed.
18* EmbarrassingNickname: Kelly insists on calling him a "Powerful Vagina."
19* GadgeteerGenius: In "Brujo," he starts building Ash a replacement mechanical hand.
20* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: [[spoiler: During his exorcism of Baal, he gets bisected by a sheet of broken glass. He gets better.]]
21* TheIllegal: He absent-mindedly mentions he's "seen a lot between Honduras and here" in "El Jefe". After Ash mentions he once claimed to be from New Jersey, he immediately backpedals.
22* InsultOfEndearment: While Kelly mockingly calls Pablo a "vagina" when she learns [[spoiler:that [[OrificeEvacuation Pablo was used as a portal for Ruby's demon-spawn]] in the Season One finale]], she goes on to call him her "powerful vagina" when she elaborates how vaginas are powerful and life-affirming.
23* MrFanservice: Ray Santiago's quite well built and he shows off his physique in season 2 where he's given quite a number of shirtless scenes.
24* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: UsefulNotes/SimonBolivar was an important figure in the history of South America.
25* OrificeEvacuation: During the Season 1 finale, [[spoiler: Ruby forced a Necronomicon-possessed Pablo to spawn an unspecified number of demon children, through his mouth]].
26* SociallyAwkwardHero: Much of his charm comes from how genial he stays while getting flustered or panicky.
27* TokenWizard: While a bit of an amateur, Pablo's Brujo heritage makes him a very real threat to Evil at Ash's side. [[spoiler:After undergoing a SpiritQuest in Season Three, he becomes a ''Brujo Especial'' (not to be confused with the drink), a once-in-a-generation shaman that can open and close portals into the netherworld and is basically invisible to the Forces of Evil.]]
28* TraumaCongaLine: He gets put through absolute hell in "The Dark One." [[spoiler: First, he's possessed by the Necronomicon's face. Then, he's taken down to the cabin's cellar by Ruby, chained up, and cut so Ruby can use his blood to write new pages in the book, while Ruby forces him to spawn an unspecified number of demon children through OrificeEvacuation. Finally, he's {{Mind Rape}}d into attacking Ash and Kelly]]. By the time Ash shows up, the poor kid literally ''begs'' him for a MercyKill.
29** Then in season 2, [[spoiler: the Necronomicon infuses to his body!]]
30* WeaponSpecialization: He discusses this with Kelly in "Fire in the Hole" after she mentions she'd like a [[FirebreathingWeapon flamethrower]]. He says a gun "[[LittleUselessGun felt kinda small]]" and suggests he'd be better suited to an axe, a crossbow, a [[ShockAndAwe TASER]] or a [[ChainPain rusty chain]]. After crushing a Deadite between a tree and a truck bumper, he muses that maybe he's "[[CarFu a pick-up truck kinda guy]]." At the end of the episode, after [[RecklessGunUsage mucking around]] with a rocket launcher he settles on a [[RevolversAreJustBetter big-ass revolver]].
31* YouAreInCommandNow: In the GrandFinale, [[spoiler:Ash tells him that he's the Jefe now.]]
32[[/folder]]
33
34[[folder:Kelly]]
35!!Kelly Maxwell
36[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maxwell_kelly_8.jpg]]
37[[caption-width-right:350:''"Whatever's going down here, I am already on the wrong side of it, so no turnin' back now."'']]
38->'''Played By:''' Dana [=DeLorenzo=]
39
40-->''"Touch me again, and you're gonna need another wooden hand."''
41
42A moody wild child trying to outrun her past. Reluctantly dragged into the fight against evil with Ash and Pablo, Kelly finds a different kind of family with her fellow slayers.
43----
44* ActionGirl: Kelly might be the most competent fighter in the group, Ruby at one point enlists her help for this very reason.
45* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Kelly is rather emotionally distant and snarky.
46* AngstWhatAngst: [[spoiler:While not the most open person to begin with, she seems to take the brutal death of her father at the hands of her Deadite-turned deceased mother who than is cut apart by Ash fairly well things considering.]]
47* BloodKnight: From "The Killer of Killers" on-wards, it's shown she ''really'' likes fighting Deadites.
48* BoringButPractical: Early on in "Fire in the Hole" she mentions she'd like a [[FireBreathingWeapon flamethrower]]. By the end of the episode, she's decided she prefers the M4 carbine she procured from a Militia member.
49-->"Fuck a flamethrower, this guy's got ''girth!''"
50* DeadpanSnarker: Very deadpan indeed, frequently engaging in SnarkToSnarkCombat with Ash.
51* DemonicPossession: For a brief time, [[spoiler:"Brujo" reveals that she's been possessed by Eligos]]. And the after effects seem to linger on with her.
52* FunTShirt: In season 2, she wears one that reads "FUCK THE CLOCK"
53* MissingMom: Her mother died in a car accident six months prior to the start of the series.
54* MyParentsAreDead: In the first episode, Ash flirts with her and tells her to tell her mother that she "passed her genes down to her in all the right places..." only for Kelly to reveal that her mother died in a car accident six months ago. [[spoiler: She dies again later that day.]]
55* NiceJobBreakingItHero: In "Books From Beyond," she releases Amanda in exchange for her help... only for Amanda to try to arrest Ash, which leads to Eligos escaping the binding circle, killing Lionel, and nearly killing Ash and Pablo. Ash [[WhatTheHellHero makes sure she knows it's her fault]].
56* PottyFailure: Kelly peed her jeans while going through a exorcism to rid her of Eligos.
57* TraumaCongaLine: Kelly sure goes through it; [[spoiler:her mother dies six months before the series begins, then she's attacked by Deadites, her mother seemingly returns to life only to reveal herself as a Deadite and die ''again'', her father dying in the process, and to top it off she gets painfully possessed by Eligos!]]

61[[folder:Amanda]]
62!!Amanda Fisher
63[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fisher_amanda2.jpg]]
64->'''Played By:''' Creator/JillMarieJones, Creator/KimberlyBrooks (''VideoGame/EvilDeadTheGame'')
65
66A disgraced Michigan State Trooper set to find Ash and prove his responsibility in the grisly murder of her partner.
67----
68* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: [[spoiler: After she's killed by Ash's EvilTwin, she then falls victim to the same DemonicPossession gag as many before her.]]
69* BlackDudeDiesFirst: [[spoiler: Well she is certainly not the first character to be killed in this series, however she is the first main character to be killed off, so she counts]].
70* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler: In "Ashes to Ashes," she's killed by first getting a meat cleaver chopped into her neck, and then falling and getting impaled on the deer head's antlers]].
71* DeathByIrony: [[spoiler: Getting impaled by deer head antlers is almost exactly like how her partner died. This even gets a nod when the deer head falls and Amanda gets a flashback of her partner's impalement.]]
72* FairCop: She's certainly easy on the eyes. Ash even takes the time during an altercation with her to [[MaleGaze oogle her cleavage]].
73* HandCannon: Inverted. Carries a small Derringer in an ankle holster as a backup piece, but it's shown to be powerful enough to blow a person's head clean off, and hold more rounds than the gun normally would.
74* HeelRealization: [[spoiler: After seeing Ash in action in "Killer of Killers", she finally realizes that Ash isn't the bad guy she thought he was.]]
75* ImpaledPalm: She gets stabbed clean through the hand with a pair of scissors in the first episode.
76* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:Happens to her after being attacked by Evil Ash, on the antlers of the deer head that fell from over the fireplace]]
77* InspectorJavert: Thinks Ash is deliberately causing the newfound murders of the county. While he is somewhat responsible, it was an accident on his part and he's trying to stop it. [[spoiler:Even after directly encountering a demon alongside Ash, she's still trying to arrest him first and foremost.]] As of "The Killer of Killers," [[spoiler: after fighting off Deadites in a diner alongside Ash, she seems to have realized that Ash is a good guy and is working with him]].
78* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Played straight and somewhat subverted, Amanda herself is killed but her corpse still lives and walking around courtesy of being killed by a Deadite (Evil Ash)]]
79* LethallyStupid: If it wasn't for her rushing to arrest Ash in a situation she knew full well she had no clue about, Eligos wouldn't have escaped. [[spoiler:Her decision to ignore Ash's repeated warnings about how dangerous the things at the cabin are gets her killed when she follows him up there.]]
80* LoveInterest: The latter half of Season 1 develops her relationship with Ash to this point. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, she quickly goes the way of Ash's last real lady friend, Linda, because Ash just isn't allowed a happy relationship...]]
81* NiceJobBreakingItHero: If it wasn't for her trying to arrest Ash at the bookstore [[spoiler: the binding circle would have remained intact and the demon wouldn't been released and kill Lionel.]]
82* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:Amanda is the first major character to die.]]
83* ShearMenace: A Deadite stabs her through the hand with scissors. She's later seen with her hand bandaged heavily up.
84* TargetedToHurtTheHero: [[spoiler: Evil Ash kills her in "Ashes To Ashes" in order to antagonize Ash. Possibly Lampshaded in that he slams her head in a fridge door repeatedly during their fight. Also subverted. Amanda's clearly the most competent member of Ash's team, and potentially a bigger threat than Ash. Ash, at the least, doesn't have the potential to call down the state police into the situation.]]
85* WrongGenreSavvy: Despite all that has happened, Amanda seems to think of herself in a cop drama chasing down a serial killer. [[spoiler:She eventually joins his team.]]
86[[/folder]]
87
88[[folder:Brandy]]
89!!Brandy Barr-Williams
90[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/brandy_evil_dead.png]]
91->'''Played By:''' Arielle Carver-O'Neill
92
93Ash’s previously unknown daughter that he had when he married Candy Barr in a drug-fueled haze and knocked her up.
94
95* BadassBoast: Gives one in "Judgment Day" when she decides to start fighting back.
96-->'''Brandy''': That's it. You want me? I'm Ashy Slashy's daughter. Come on. Come get some!
97* ButtMonkey: She got knocked out by a can of beans that was thrown by her demonically-possessed grandpa and later gets soaked in his gore when Ash impales Brock with a chainsaw.
98* DamselInDistress: Brandy's not a butt-kicking monster slayer and so she ends up needing to get bailed occasionally. Justified as her role so far is to be the Team's "Normal" and normal people tend not to do well in the series.
99* DeadpanSnarker: During the times when she's not frozen in terror, she really likes to throw down the sarcasm.
100* {{Fingore}}: At the end of "Judgement Day," the tip of her thumb is bitten off by her [[ItMakesSenseInContext demon-possessed cell phone]].
101* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: When Ash is in the midst of a HeroicBSOD in "The Mettle of Man," Brandy slaps his beer can out of his hand and gives him a RousingSpeech.
102* LikeFatherLikeSon: From "Judgment Day" onwards, she begins picking up Ash's quirks and habit for one-liners.
103* LongLostRelative: She's the newly discovered daughter of Ash Williams and that alone adds new dynamics to the series.
104* OnlySaneMan: Unlike everyone else, Brandy is a normal person and reacts accordingly to the craziness surrounding her. That said, between the death of her mother and best friend and then watching her dad chainsaw her grandpa - she's holding up fairly well.
105* RousingSpeech: She gives one to Ash in "The Mettle of Man", doubling as GetAHoldOfYourselfMan:
106-->'''Brandy''': Enough! I don't know much about this Evil Dead crap, and I know even less about why it chose you, but it did. You're the Savior of Humanity, so get on your damn feet and own up to who you are! In the short time that I have known you, I have seen things that I never thought existed. Seen ''you'' do things that I never thought possible. ''You'' taught me to trust you. ''You'' taught me to believe in you, and I do. Please, don't let me down now.
107* TheStoner: Seen smoking a joint with her friend. When Ash is taking a hit off a bong in the GrandFinale, she attempts to take it as well, but [[ParentalHypocrisy Ash refuses to let her]].
108* TookALevelInBadass: After being the DamselInDistress for most of her screen time, Brandy begins taking one in "Judgment Day." Being repeatedly tormented by demons in the workshed of Ash's home, she grabs a knife and fights back, ultimately killing one with a snow plow.

111
112!Elk Grove
113
114[[folder:Linda B.]]
115!!Linda B. Emery
116->'''Played By:''' Creator/MichelleHurd
117
118Linda B. was Ash's high school sweetheart until he left her for a girl also named Linda. Sometime after Ash and his friends never returned from a weekend trip, Linda married the sheriff of Elk Grove, Thomas Emery. When he returns to his home town, he finds that she's now a waitress working at their mutual friend's Chet Kaminski's bar. Linda B., unlike the other people in their hometown, doesn't believe he's responsible for Cheryl's death and think he's innocent. She also, deep down, may still harbor feelings for Ash.
119----
120* ActionSurvivor: Much like Pablo and Kelly when they first showed up, Linda's a normal person thrust into a world of Deadites who starts to fend for herself.
121* AmicableExes: Despite Ash's reputation and the fact that he dumped her for another girl (who had her name no less) Linda is surprisingly cordial to Ash. They even get a RelationshipUpgrade.
122* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: She disappears after Season 2, and is never seen or mentioned in Season 3.
123* NewOldFlame: Dated Ash back in high-school. Ash seems to still carry something of a torch for her.
124* OneSteveLimit: Shares the same first name with Ash's original girlfriend, Linda. And shockingly Linda B. is not a SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute.
125[[/folder]]
126
127[[folder:Brock]]
128!!Brock Williams
129[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/williams_brock.jpg]]
130->'''Played By:''' Creator/LeeMajors
131
132Ash’s surly father. He was once the owner of Elk Grove’s thriving hardware store, but ever since his son was labeled a serial killer his business has tanked. Now he spends his days in his easy chair watching television or enjoying a beer or ten at the Elk Lounge Bar. He is none too pleased to see his son is back in town and makes sure Ash knows it. But deep down he might just still love him a little bit.
133----
134* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Brocks trounces his son in the bucking bronco contest and did so while grabbing a woman and pulling her on it with him. He also always has a history of stealing Ash's girlfriends.
135* BackFromTheDead: Resurrected by Ruby in season 3. Kinda.
136* CallingTheOldManOut: Ash manages to finally lay it all out to Brock shortly before they make up and he dies.
137--> '''Ash''': ''"I had no choice, Dad. You were a miserable son of a bitch. You know that's why mom left you, right?"''
138* DirtyOldMan: He's arguably even worse than his son, having no qualms whatsoever against hitting on and even getting it on with a teenager (which was really a disguised Deadite, but still...), and having "Brock Williams has wood" as the slogan of his firewood business.
139-->'''Brock''': Brock Williams. You can call me "Cock."
140* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: Not only was he neglectful of Ash's needs, but it's implied that he has a history of cuckolding his own son. Certainly explains a few things about [[AttentionWhore our hero]], doesn't it?
141* {{Hypocrite}}:
142** He chides Ash for abandoning him, but Ash only left because Brock (along with everyone in town) had written him off as a psychopath who made up his encounter with demons to avoid responsibility for his actions.
143** He acts hurt because his son left him all alone, but he himself was implied to be emotionally neglectful to him even before that fateful night at the cabin.
144** He calls Ash a coward who runs away from his problems, but in Season 3 it's revealed that [[spoiler:he had accidentally killed a Knight of Sumeria who was harassing him about Ash (or at least he thought he killed him) and left him locked in his store's basement, pretending it never happened until he let Ash know about it post-mortem]].
145* IHaveNoSon: He essentially turned his back on Ash after the incident at the cabin, which led to Ash being labeled a SerialKiller and ostracized by everyone in Elk Grove. In Ash's words, they were "dead to each other." As it turns out, he believes that Ash killed Cheryl and his friends just like everyone else.
146* ItRunsInTheFamily: Like his son, he's quite a flirt.
147* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's an old lech who has an antagonistic relationship with Ash, but deep down he's a good man who's wrestling with his own personal problems.
148* TheLostLenore: He took his daughter Cheryl's death especially hard.
149* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler: Gets hit by a car just after he and Ash make up]].
150* SacrificialLion: As noted above, his death was sudden and unexpected, and very brutal as well.
151* ShoutOut: Come on... [[Characters/PokemonAnimeOriginalSeriesCast Ash and Brock?]] All that's missing is a Misty.
152** [[WesternAnimation/TheVentureBros It's a]] ''[[VideoGame/PokerNight2 family]]'' name.
153* SpiritAdvisor: Appears posthumously to Ash during his battle with the possessed Delta to offer advice. He later comes back during "Unfinished Business" as a ghost.
154* SurprisinglySuddenDeath: [[spoiler:He's rather suddenly mowed down by the possessed Delta right in front of Ash.]]
155[[/folder]]
156
157[[folder:Chet]]
158!!Chet Kaminski
159->'''Played By:''' Creator/TedRaimi
160
161Ash's best friend from high school who never left the party. He's always willing to help Ash in a bind, especially if the solution means partying at the bar he owns, going to a strip club, throwing a rager or breaking and entering. Unlike most people in Elk Grove, he believes Ash is innocent in the murder of Cheryl and their friends.
162----
163* TheAlcoholic: Beneath his love of partying, Chet's got a drinking problem which was aggravated by his time serving in the military.
164* AndShowItToYou: [[spoiler:His fate at the hands of Deadite!Cheryl]].
165* JumpedAtTheCall: When Ash gives him the abridged version of his battle with the Necronomicon and the Deadites, Chet can't wait to help kill some demons. Ash refuses the help though, saying that "[[ThisIsSomethingHesGotToDoHimself there are some things a man has to do alone.]]"
166* ShellshockedVeteran: He fought at [[Usefulnotes/TheGulfWar Desert Storm]], where he was involved in a FriendlyFire mishap. Also, there was something about [[NoodleIncident "Saudi gold" and "Anwar the village boy."]]
167* UndyingLoyalty: Never believed for a second that Ash was a murderer and was more than happy to help when he realized what was going on.
168* WhatAPieceOfJunk: He drives a rusty, puke-green hatchback that surprisingly can keep up with the Necronomicon-possessed Delta.
169* YouLookFamiliar: Being played by [[Creator/SamRaimi Sam Raimi's]] brother, he was a FakeShemp for Ash in the original movie and was an extra for three characters in the third.
170[[/folder]]
171
172[[folder:Thomas]]
173!!Sheriff Thomas Emery
174->'''Played By:''' Stephen Lovatt
175
176A former high school Hall Monitor turned town Sheriff. He claims to love the law, but really he uses his badge to hide his insecurities and with Ash back in town, he’s got a lot of them. He’s married to Ash’s former flame, Linda B. When a town on the brink of Armageddon pushes her and their daughter, Lacey, into the arms of his biggest nemesis and his allies, the Sheriff turns to the dark side for help to get rid of Ash once and for all.
177----
178* AssholeVictim: Gets shot in the leg by Ruby, not that anyone is sympathetic. He later gets dumped by Linda because of his behavior but in his defense, Baal was screwing with him by playing on his hatred of Ash.
179* ButtMonkey: Kelly always manages to humiliate him and continues to do so, even when Thomas is trying to arrest the Ghostbeaters.
180* FreudianExcuse: Being bullied by Ash and unable to tell anyone without being humiliated, it's really no wonder he turned out to be the control freak that he did.
181* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: He attempts this with [[spoiler:Deadite!Lacey]]. It doesn't take.
182* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: For all his hostility towards the Ghostbeaters, he still genuinely loves his wife and daughter.
183* OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler:Gets his head torn off by Deadite!Lacey]].
184* PottyFailure: As a youth, he peed his pants at school due to Ash preventing him from reaching the bathroom on time. He remains so mortified over this incident that after Kelly assaults him and knocks him unconscious in the present day he makes no attempt to arrest her, as thanks to Ash pouring Faygo on his crotch while he was out, he believes he peed his pants again while unconscious.
185* SupernaturalProofFather: The last one to believe in the forces of evil, even after his wife and daughter were begging him to believe them.
186[[/folder]]
187
188[[folder:Lacey]]
189!!Lacey Emery
190->'''Played By:''' Pepi Sonuga
191
192Daughter of Linda B. Emery and Sheriff Thomas Emery. She’s a rebellious 20-something that finds herself in the wrong Delta 88 at the wrong time. Thankfully she finds solace and safety with Ash, Pablo and Kelly until her own father makes her a pawn in his game to take down Ash.
193----
194* ActionSurvivor: She fairs a lot better than her friends, who [[spoiler: all died from the Necronomicon possessed Delta 88.]]
195* [[AndThenJohnWasAZombie And The Lacey Was a Deadite]]: Baal abducts her to ensure Thomas and Linda B.'s cooperation, but then reneges on his deal and turns her into a Deadite anyway.
196* FellIntoTheCockpit: Gets caught up in the whole business with Ash and the Deadites because she happened to be in Delta when it got possessed.
197* ForcedToWatch: As the unwilling passenger of the possessed Delta, she is given a front-row seat to witness the brutal deaths of all her friends.
198* RebelliousSpirit: Hangs out with a rowdy crowd even though her father is the town sheriff.
199[[/folder]]

201[[folder:Blake]]
202!!Blake
203->'''Played By:''' James Russell
204
205Lacey's loving and rebellious boyfriend who's the de-facto leader of their group of friends. He steals Ash's Delta 88 after Ash and Kelly yell at him.
206----
207* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Rammed by the possessed Delta, and then set on fire by the hellish fire coming out of the exhaust pipes.
208* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's belligerent and steals Ash's car, but he's also a loyal boyfriend to Lacey. When they're being hunted by the car he sticks by the injured Tyler and tries to help him instead of running.

214->'''Played By:''' Taylor Barrett, Joel Hewlett, Olivia Mahood
215
216Blake and Lacey's group of stoner friends who help steal Ash's Delta 88.
217----
218* AssholeVictims: For the most part they're just a bunch of idiot stoners who picked the wrong car to steal just to piss off Ash.
219* CruelAndUnusualDeath:
220** Marcus is dispatched with [[{{Fingore}} his fingers being cut off]] by the possessed Delta's passenger side door and then, while he is running away, is killed when one of the hubcaps flies [[InTheBack through his back]] like a boomerang.
221** Tyler is gets his [[YourHeadASplode head mushed]] by the possessed Delta back tire.
222* DemonicPossession: Amber is quick to fall under the Evil Dead presence.
223* {{Fingore}}: The Possessed Delta slams its door on Marcus's hand, slicing off three of his fingers.
224* GroinAttack: Deadite Amber bites off Tyler's penis off and he is left to bleed to death.
225* SexSignalsDeath: Amber and Tyler are about to have sex in the Delta (ironically, Amber stopping from having sex caused her to notice the book), only for Amber to read from the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis leading to her DemonicPossession and the below mentioned GroinAttack. She later tries to do the same to [[spoiler:Brock]] only to be killed by Ash with his chainsaw.
226* TheStoner: They all are, but Marcus is the one who tokes most of their weed.
227* TooDumbToLive: Every single of them, but Tyler runs out into the open after being warned by Blake not to do so and gets killed by the possessed Delta.
228* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Amber reading from the Necronomicon releases the demon that possesses the Delta, causing the deaths of her and all of her friends, except Lacey. In addition, [[spoiler:her actions indirectly cause the release of Baal from the underworld]].

275[[folder:Stanley Gibson]]
276-> '''Portrayed By:''' Jeffrey Thomas
277Host of an antique show and the latest person to accidentally release the spirits of the book at the start of season 3.
278----
279* FaceDeathWithDignity: Although scared, he refuses to give the book back to Ruby when she appears and identifies herself as a dangerous demon after it.
280* OhCrap: He has a very troubled expression as he reads the part of the book (or maybe just belatedly recalls rumors about it) saying that if it's read out loud (which it just has been) it will connect to the demons of the netherworld.
281* SharpDressedMan: He has a fairly nice suit.

284[[folder:Amy]]
285-> '''Played By:''' Albertine Jonas
286A girl who finds the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis in the woods and inadvertently gets it read from again.
287----
288* ActionSurvivor: An interesting ''after''life version. She's killed by the forces of the book, and, along with other recent victims, is sent to a purgatory dwelling haunted by the Dark Ones, but is among those those whose avoided being killed again by the dark ones (and either ripped of their souls or dragged to another level of the afterlife) for a while and is still managing to hide and run several days later when the only others shown evading the Monsters there are Ash and his companions, and some prom goers only killed and sent there a few hours previously.
289* HellYesMoment: Her facial expression is one of triumphant hope and excitement as, from a hiding place, she watches Ash start the delta and have some success against the demons stalking purgatory.
290* OhCrap: She gets nervous as the barn their in starts shaking when the book is read from.
291* PinkMeansFeminine: She has a pink sweater.
292* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: She kicks off a lot of season 3 by finding the book in the woods, not knowing what it is, and taking it to Gibson to see if it's worth anything.

303[[folder:Brujo]]
304!!Brujo
305->'''Played By:''' Creator/HemkyMadera
306
307Pablo's ''tio'', and a shaman who knows a lot about the dark arts.
308----
309* ActuallyPrettyFunny: While he can barely stand Ash, he can't resist chuckling to Ash's quip that people who [[UnderestimatingBadassery underestimate him]] "end up either in [his] bed or dead."
310* [[AndThenJohnWasAZombie And Then Brujo Was a Skeleton]]: [[spoiler:Played with. Though Brujo's spirit is confirmed to be safe in the afterlife, [[NoOntologicalInertia the totemic barrier against evil he constructed around his home begins to break down and catch on fire along with his physical body]], allowing the Kandarian demon to possess his corpse as a flaming, skeletal Deadite by the time Ruby and Amanda arrive.]]
311* CollectorOfTheStrange: Because of his calling, he's amassed a huge collection of supernatural and shamanistic ephemera, from the evil-repelling totems in his yard to some highly questionable stuff inside his barn.
312-->"And that's why we never fool with demons. Your Uncle Esteban fooled with demons, and look what happened to him." ''(Points to a blackened, preserved head dangling from the rafters)''
313* CoolOldGuy: One of the oldest characters in season one, as well as one of the most prepared and useful when it comes to the Dark Arts.
314* DueToTheDead: [[spoiler: After being killed by Eligos, Ash, Pablo, and Kelly make him a funeral pyre.]]
315* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep / NoNameGiven: Not even Pablo calls him by his true name, if he still has one.
316* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:He is swatted away and impaled by Eligos during the final struggle to exorcise Kelly.]]
317* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He doesn't like Ash and doesn't mind showing it, but nonetheless tries to help him.
318* MentorOccupationalHazard: [[spoiler:Not long after reconciling with his nephew and past pupil Pablo, he dies, thus passing the torch to his nephew.]]
319* SomeKindOfForceField: His house is protected by a barrier that prevents any evil from entering. [[spoiler:Eligos seems to have been able to bypass this by possessing Kelly.]]
320* SpiritAdvisor: [[spoiler:After he passes to the realm beyond, his spirit remains to guide Pablo through the Santa Muerte medallion he bequeaths to him]].
321* [[WellDoneSonGuy "Well Done, Nephew!" Guy]]: Raised Pablo in the traditions and ways of ''brujeria'', a part of his cultural heritage that he holds dear, and feels betrayed that his nephew chose to cast it aside to, of all things, work a crappy retail job at the local Value Stop. [[spoiler:They manage to reconcile before his death, with Brujo asking forgiveness and admitting that Pablo does indeed have a powerful gift if he was able to seek out and recognize El Jefe in a light so dim as Ash's.]]
322[[/folder]]
323
324[[folder:Roper]]
325!!Mr. Roper
326->'''Played By:''' Damien Garvey
327
328Ash and Pablo's {{Jerkass}} boss at Value Stop.
329----
330* [[AndThenJohnWasAZombie And Then Mr. Roper Was A Deadite]]: [[spoiler:Self-explanatory.]]
331* BadBoss: Insulting, cruel, and sadistic to his employees, particularly after his transformation. Roper's shabby treatment of Ash in particular is only [[MeanBoss partially justified]] by the fact that, as a senior employee, Ash is basically unfireable, and a lazy goldbrick to boot.
332* DangerTakesABackSeat: [[spoiler:As a Deadite, he hides out in the backseat of Ash's Oldsmobile.]]
333* DyingAsYourself: [[spoiler:He apparently retains enough of his old self to really enjoy attempting to murder Ash, gleefully saying how he's always hated him and thinks he's a "sad old failure".]]
334* JerkassHasAPoint: His {{Jerkass}} attitude towards Ash is somewhat justified, since Ash is a lazy, irresponsible goof who's taken multiple days off of work under the pretense of taking care of his "dear friend" Eli, a ruse that Roper apparently found out about:
335-->'''Roper:''' Are you really going to use your fucking lizard as an excuse to get out of work again?\
336'''Ash''' ''(Beat)'' ...I am.
337* OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler:After getting one last word in ("Thanks for the heads-up"), Ash shoves Deadite!Roper's head out the Oldsmobile's window to get annihilated by a speeding car in the other lane. Pablo even comments afterwards on what a great one-liner it was.]]
338* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Considers himself qualified to call Ash a "retard" because "my gardener is a huge one".
339[[/folder]]
340
341[[folder:Suzy]]
342!!Suzy Maxwell
343->'''Played By:''' Creator/MimiRogers
344
345Kelly’s mother, who was turned into a Deadite to lure Ash.
346----
347* [[AndThenJohnWasAZombie And Then Suzy Was A Deadite]]: The show doesn’t try very hard to preserve the ambiguity of whether or not she’s a Deadite; in fact, most of the suspense rests on [[DevilInPlainSight how everyone else is almost definitely trapped inside the house with one, and just when she'll choose to strike]].
348* DrivenToSuicide: Deadite!Suzy claims that her death was actually a suicide and that she did it to get away from Kelly. It could be true, or the Deadite could be lying (either about the death being suicide or her motive for taking her own life) just to mess with Kelly.
349* FakingAmnesia: She pretends that she wasn’t dead, just had amnesia for the past year. Ash doesn’t buy it for a minute.
350* FliesEqualsEvil: One crawls across her face near the beginning, passing without comment but further creeping out an already suspicious Ash.
351[[/folder]]
352
353[[folder:Lionel]]
354!!Lionel Hawkins
355->'''Played By:''' Kelson Henderson
356
357The owner of a rare books store and expert in the occult.
358----
359* AdmiringTheAbomination: He can barely contain his glee when Ash presents him with the Necronomicon.
360* [[AndThenJohnWasAZombie And Then Lionel Was A Deadite]]: Turns out, you don't need to be killed by a Deadite to turn into a Deadite, getting killed by any demon will do the trick.
361* EvilIsNotAToy: He learns this the hard way when he summons the demon Eligos without having the banishing incantation ready in case the circle breaks.
362* EyeScream: Eligos smashes a window, levitates the shards, and stabs him multiple times with them, one embedding itself in his eye. As a Deadite it's still in his head.
363* HonoraryTrueCompanion: An associate of Ash willing and eager to help in the mission who is nonetheless quickly killed off.
364* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: By Ruby.
365* MrExposition: He spouts exposition about the origins of the Necronomicon and it's purposes.
366* NightmareFetishist: As is evidenced by his store, and he's very excited to summon a demon.
367-->'''Pablo:''' Hey, will you tell him that we shouldn't be doing this?
368-->'''Lionel:''' I've been waiting, my entire life to commune with the darkness.
369-->'''Ash:''' See? He loves it.
370* OffWithHisHead: By Ruby, who then crushes it.
371* SharpDressedMan: Gives off a bit of the vibe, although his suit isn't quite as nice as most examples.
372* TheSmartGuy: Subverted, it looks like he might fill this role for Ash and his group but he quickly turns out to be a RedShirt or a MauveShirt, depending on who you ask.
373[[/folder]]
374
375[[folder:Lem]]
376!!Lem
377->'''Played By:''' Peter Feeney
378
379A casual reprobate acquaintance of Ash's.
380----
381* TheAlcoholic: He's quite proud of himself for going "off the sauce, almost nine days"; Ash isn't quite sure how to respond. Eventually, it's revealed that Ash quit drinking with him because Lem couldn't handle his liquor as well. By the next time we see him, he's drinking kerosene; of course, to be fair, he's a Deadite by then.
382* [[AndThenJohnWasAZombie And Then Lem Was a Deadite]]: Despite fleeing the carnage at the diner, he was eventually hunted down and consumed by The Force in the woods near his compound. He's a particularly strong and clever Deadite, too, able to make short work of multiple armed survivalists before retreating to their underground bunker and hiding in the darkened tunnels.
383* CrazySurvivalist: He recently joined a local militia, and makes mention of using Ash's former employee discount as a hook-up to hoard typical prepper supplies for them like ammo and toilet paper.
384-->'''Lem:''' "[[Film/GlengarryGlenRoss Always Be Stockpiling]]", that's their motto.\
385'''Ash:''' That's a dumb motto.\
386'''Lem:''' I joined after they came up with it.
387* PlayingWithFire: When cornering Ash and Amanda in the bunker, he guzzles diesel and kerosene straight from the jerrycan, cracks a flare, and belches jets of flame at them.
388* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Wisely makes a run for it when the Deadites attack the diner and he has nothin to defend himself with.
389[[/folder]]
390
391[[folder:Heather]]
392!!Heather
393->'''Played By:''' Creator/SamaraWeaving
394
395An Australian camper who stumbles upon the cabin and becomes embroiled with Ash’s problems.
396----
397* BareMidriffsAreFeminine: She is far girlier than ActionGirl Kelly and she wears a shirt that comes to a stop above her navel.
398* BreakTheCutie: Rapidly and with extreme prejudice as deadite attacks ruin her sunny disposition. By her final appearance she desperately just wants to get out of there, but that isn't an option.
399* ContrivedCoincidence: How she becomes involved in the events of the show, since she and her friends stumble upon a cabin in the middle of the woods that's been abandoned for decades on the very night that supernatural forces descend upon it.
400* CruelAndUnusualDeath: In "The Dark One," her demise at the hands of the possessed cabin [[LudicrousGibs isn't very pleasant.]] In this order, she's thrown about the room, the sofa lands on her wounded leg, numerous nails impale her, and she's dragged screaming into a room with a red glow. The next time we see her, she's in pieces.
401* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Deadite [[spoiler:Amanda]] seems to be forcibly spreading Heather’s legs after catching Heather, while talking about her pretty face, as a terrified Heather tries to crawl backwards.
402* DoomedHurtGuy: Her ankle gets broken in her second appearance and she doesn't last much longer.
403* {{Expy}}: To Bobby Jo from the second movie, both are attractive BloodSplatteredInnocents who do a lot of screaming, and suffer some nasty indignities and injuries at the hands of The Cabin and the Deadites.
404* HeroicSeductress: After realizing that Pablo and Kelly are hiding something from her and her friends, she somewhat seriously comments that she could have seduced Pablo into telling her, except she respects the fact that he has a girlfriend.
405* HumbleGoal: To be a dentist hygienists, although it also comes with the slightly less humble goal of surviving the night.
406* InnocentBlueEyes: Several scenes that emphasize Heather's status as [[BreakTheCutie a heavily traumatized]] InnocentBystander prominently display her blue eyes.
407* MauveShirt: She given is given a bit more focus than most other minor characters, and was seemly set up to be a major character in the Season 1 finale, and possible even the next season, only to be unceremoniously killed off.
408* MsFanservice: She wears short shorts and a stomach-baring tank top, and Pablo considers her to be "super cute". A possessed [[spoiler: Amanda]] also calls her "hot stuff" while saying that she's next.
409* [[NonActionGuy Non Action Girl]]: She isn't a fighter and it shows. Even before she encounters any Deadites. When she and her friends, Brad and Melissa first encounter Pablo and Heather and think they're trying to rob them after seeing their guns, Heather offers up her wallet while Brad and Melissa brandish a flare gun and pepper spray at them in what was meant to be a threatening way.
410* RomanticFalseLead: She and Pablo enjoy a mutual flirtation that serves no narrative purpose other than to jump-start Kelly's previously platonic feelings for Pablo.
411* ScreamingWoman: From the moment she crosses paths with her first Deadite she cuts loose with the screaming at every opportunity. Considering that the first Deadite she sees impales her friends, uses them as puppets, says that she's next, chases her down and threatens to peel the skin off her face, and tells her there she there isn't a Heaven for her to go to once it's over, it isn't hard to understand why.
412* ThirdWheel: She’s in a camping trip in the middle of nowhere with a couple of recently married SickeninglySweethearts even though she doesn’t even like camping.
413* TraumaCongaLine: Since the moment she crossed paths with her first Deadite, things only went from bad to worse.
414* TwistedAnkle: Her leg gets broken in a very gruesome manner, severely limiting her mobility.

418!!Brad and Melissa
419-> '''Played By:''' Ido Drent and Indianna Evans
420Heather's friends.
421----
422* AllThereInTheManual: Inverted. Melissa is just credited as "engaged hiker" but is referred to by name once or twice and refers to Brad as her husband, not her fiancée.
423* BadassBystander: Zigzagged. When they think Pablo is trying to rob them at gunpoint Melissa holds out some pepper spray and Brad pulls out a flare gun. When an actual Deadite shows up they do less well.
424* FriendToAllLivingThings: Brad is a forestry employee and protests when he thinks Pablo is going to shoot at animals.
425* GrandRomanticGesture: Brad proposed to Melissa under the stars.
426* SickeninglySweethearts: They are a couple and are fairly attached to each other and liek talkign about their proposal.

434* ManlyFacialHair: He has a gray beard across his face emphasizing his leadership role in the militia.
435* PutOnABus: He and his men hurry out of the area after the deadite menacing them is killed.
436* RightWingMilitiaFanatic: Crosby and his men are certainly right-wing, paranoid, and not terribly competent or trusting but only a couple of them are genuinely malicious.
437[[/folder]]
438
439[[folder:Cindy and Hannah]]
440--> '''Played by:''' Ingrid Park and Sophia Johnson
441A middle-aged woman Ash has a fling with in Jacksonville, and her daughter.
442----
443* NightmareFetishist: Cindy is turned on by Ash's chainsaw hand and brings Hannah (who has a similar reaction to the chainsaw and asks to touch it) to see it at her and Ash's next meeting.
444--> '''Ash:''' I'm not drunk enough to know if this is good weird or bad weird.
445* WeHardlyKnewYe: They suffer a AndThenJohnWasAZombie fate when deadites infect them within the first minutes of season 2 to show that the forces of evil aren't going to leave Ash alone.

466* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: He's (temporarily) taken over by Deadites in some of the sequel comics.
467* BigDamnHeroes: He throws Ash the chainsaw when he's trapped in a pit with a monster.
468* {{Expy}}: With his status as a wizard advisor long gray beard, and service to a nobleman named Arthur, The Wise Man has drawn some comparisons to ''Myth/{{Merlin}}'', with some fans even mistaking him for the original Merlin.
469* IgnoredExpert: The Wise Man is a knowledgable and powerful court scholar, but his efforts to convince Arthur that Ash is TheChosenOne mentioned in their books are initially dismissed.
470* NoNameGiven: He's called John in the script, but never named in the film.
471* WizardBeard: He can use magic and has a long white beard.

476-> '''Played By:''' Creator/EmbethDavidtz
477A woman of Kandar and Ash's love interest during his time travels.
478----
479* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Despite being assaulted by Evil Ash, transformed into a Deadite, and vaulted off a castle parapet, she regains her radiant beauty as soon as the demon possessing her leaves her body. (Possibly justified, as she was still alive when the Evil took her over, unlike the other Deadites.)
480* DroppedABridgeOnHer: In ''VideoGame/PokerNight2'', [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} GLaDOS]] claims she died of the black plague, although she did have children with Ash after he left and her descendants still live in the current day.
