Minor Characters

The following is a list of minor characters from RWBY, arranged in alphabetical order.

Bartender


The Bartender is seen at Crow Bar, where Qrow Branwen is first seen drinking whilst watching the Vytal Festival matches in the episode "New Challengers...". He attempts to engage Qrow in casual conversation, praising the performances of Team JNPR and Team SSSN, but Qrow is unreceptive and mostly dismisses him. After Qrow leaves, he accidentally knocks over a glass and says to himself dejectedly, "Aww, gee darn it."

He was voiced by Markus Horstemeyer, who paid for a voice role during Rooster Teeth's Lazer Team Indiegogo campaign. The Bartender shares a distinctive moustache with his voice actor.

Councilmen


The Councilmen are high-ranking government officials, presumably representatives of the ruling council of Vale.

In "Breach", following the destructive Grimm outbreak in Vale, the councilmen express their doubt in Ozpin's ability to provide sufficient security to the upcoming Vytal Festival, and transfer this responsibility to General James Ironwood, of the visiting Atlesian contingent. They also warn Ozpin that his continuing position as headmaster of Beacon Academy has been called into question.

The councilman with a speaking role was voiced by Gray Haddock.

CCT AI


The CCT AI is a holographic assistant who attends to users of the Cross Continental Transmit tower in Vale. She takes the appearance of a young girl in uniform, with dark hair tied into a bun and dark blue eyes. She attends to Weiss Schnee in "A Minor Hiccup", and displays a cheery personality.

The CCT AI was voiced by Megan Castro, who works in sales at Rooster Teeth.

Cyril Ian
Cyril Ian is a news reporter for Vale News Network. In "Ruby Rose", he is heard reporting the case of "nefarious criminal Roman Torchwick", advising viewers to contact authorities if seen. Miles and Kerry intentionally made Cyril's name sound like "cerulean", in order to fit the color naming rule.

Cyril was voiced by Patrick Rodriguez, who is also an artist on RWBY.

Deery


"Deery" is a Faunus with prominent antlers who appears at the White Fang Faction Meeting in "Painting the Town..." as a new recruit to the organization. Upon seeing Roman at the meeting, she loudly demands, "What's a human doing here?!" She later resurfaces in "No Brakes", this time in the full uniform of a White Fang soldier, exclaiming "Get the humans!"

Deery was voiced by Maggie Tominey.

Detectives


A pair of Detectives working for the Vale Police Department are seen in "The Stray", investigating the most recent in a series of Dust store robberies. One of them hypothesizes that the White Fang are behind the robberies, the other simply replies that they aren't paid enough. The pair later confront Sun Wukong, who is seen hanging from a lamppost. Despite their efforts, he deftly evades their attempts to apprehend him.

The duo are voiced by Burnie Burns and Joel Heyman. They share their personality, appearance and voice actors with a pair of similar characters in Rooster Teeth Shorts. They also share certain mannerisms, such as nonchalantly waving firearms around.

Lagune
General Lagune was a military leader of the Human forces during the Faunus Rights Revolution. At the Battle of Fort Castle, the inexperienced general attempted to catch the Faunus off-guard in a nocturnal attack, failing to take into account their superior night vision. Despite having a massive army, he was defeated and captured. Lagune and his blunder are mentioned in "Jaunedice, Pt.2".

His name is derived from the word "Lagoon", which refers to small bodies of water.

Lisa Lavender
Lisa Lavender is a news reporter or anchorwoman for the Vale News Network, seen in "Ruby Rose".

Lisa is seen on a screen aboard the airship bringing new students to Beacon Academy. She reports on the Faunus Civil Rights Protest and how it was disrupted by the White Fang. However, her report was cut short when Glynda Goodwitch took control of the screen to welcome the new students.

So far she is the sole member of the Vale News Network to have been shown on television, though Cyril Ian is also heard.

Her last name "Lavender" is the name of a light tone of purple.

Lisa is shown only as a 2D image, unlike the main characters who have full 3D models. She was voiced by Jen Brown, who also voices Pyrrha Nikos.

Peach
Professor Peach is a teacher at Beacon Academy. In "Forever Fall", Peach was mentioned by Glynda Goodwitch as having instructed each student to fill a jar of red sap from the trees of Forever Fall (presumably as part of an assignment). No mention of Peach has been made since, and it is unknown what he/she exactly teaches.

"Peaches" are a species of fruit, often found in pink or orange colors, and peach is often considered a color, like that of the fruit.

Penny's Teammate


This unnamed teammate of Penny's is a contestant in the Vytal Festival tournament, competing for the kingdom of Atlas. After her team won their match in the team round of the tournament, Penny and this teammate were selected to represent them in the doubles round. A picture of this teammate is first seen on Cinder Fall's scroll as she rigs the next match for the doubles round.

She has a dark skin and hair, blue eyes, and a gold marking in the center of her forehead. She wears a blue beret and a plain gray button-down shirt with an asymmetrical collar.

Perry


Perry appears alongside Deery at the White Fang Faction Meeting as a new recruit. He later appears as a full White Fang member, guarding the subterranean ruins of Mountain Glenn in the episode of the same name. After Ruby Rose falls into the underground ruins, she is apprehended by Perry and his partner who deliver her to Torchwick. He apparently wears glasses, humorously, on top of his Grimm Mask. He also has floppy ears, which would later be concealed by his White Fang uniform.

"Perry" is the name of an alcoholic beverage made out of fermented pears.

Perry was voiced by Kyle Taylor.

Schnee Corp Operator


This unnamed Schnee Corp Operator appears in "A Minor Hiccup", answering Weiss' call to SDC headquarters in Atlas. She is at first surprised to see Weiss, but reluctantly acquiesces to her request for some sensitive documents. She offers to patch Weiss through to her father and Winter Schnee, her sister, but Weiss turns down both of these offers.

The Operator had light brown hair cropped neatly into short bangs and blue eyes, and wore a grayish-brown Atlesian uniform.

Interestingly, a character with a very similar appearance, but with green eyes instead of blue, is shown standing next to Ironwood, Penny and a squad of Atlesian soldiers in the Volume 2 Opening.

She was voiced by Emily McBride, the online store manager at Rooster Teeth.

Spruce Willis
Spruce Willis is likely a movie actor in Remnant. He was mentioned in "A Minor Hiccup" by Jaune Arc, as he tried to invite Weiss to his most recent movie.

His name is a play on words with "Spruce" (a tree from the pinaceae family, and a tone of green) and real-world actor Bruce Willis, who is known for his action movies.
