• Complete Monster: Edgar Janssen is the ruthless co-leader of the Cheapside Firm, a crime syndicate based in London. To ensure he has subordinates that will do what he says, Janssen blackmails various people throughout his local community by threatening to kill their loved ones, including children, in order to force them to do certain jobs for him, which include dispatching hitmen to kill various people. As such, when the syndicate is busted and Edgar, alongside his partner John Bailey-Brown, his partner-in-crime, are arrested, Janssen coerces several people to hijack Flight KA29 to blackmail the U.K. government into releasing them. Once they are released, Edgar then has his double agent on the flight take control of the cockpit by killing the pilot. Edgar then tries to let Flight KA29 crash into Central London, which would kill hundreds, just so he can get all the money he wants from the financial scheme he and John are making out of this disaster.
• Jerkass Woobie: Stuart. Despite the fact that he hijacked a plane and instilled immense fear in everyone on board, even killing a passenger, he's not even doing this out of his own free will. His family, alongside his colleagues' families, have been held hostage by the leaders of the crime syndicate he works for. He only takes the job to protect his mom, Elaine, and his brother, Lewis, who is also a hijacker. However, he gets nothing from it. Lewis tragically dies halfway through the flight, which causes Stuart to slowly lose his mind, before manically hunting and attempting to kill Sam Nelson throughout the plane, before being arrested. While Stuart is the primary antagonist of the series, he ultimately experiences the most tragic outcome in the culmination of the Hijack.
