The following is a list of Atlas and Mantle minor characters from RWBY, arranged alphabetically and categorically.

Miscellaneous Atlas credits:

Atlas[]

Will Scarlatina[]

Will Scarlatina is the father of Velvet Scarlatina.

He is Human and was a big-shot engineer working with the Atlas Military, closely with James Ironwood. He and Velvet's mother, Meg Scarlatina, were in different kingdoms, possibly separated due to what Will described as different views on the world.

Velvet spent a summer with him before going to Beacon Academy. He is amazed at Velvet's invention of Anesidora, and showed the weapon to Ironwood in approval.[1] Due to this, Velvet was able to get a constant supply of Hard-Light Dust to power her weapon before the Dust Embargo limited her supply.

It is unknown if he survived following the destruction of the Kingdom.

Scarlatina is an alternative name for scarlet fever, scarlet is a shade of red. Will Scarlatina's name could also reference Will Scarlet, one of the Merrymen in the tales of Robin Hood.

Angry Businessman and Businessman[]

V4 06 00019

Jacques speaks with the Businessman

The Angry Businessman and Businessman showed up in "Tipping Point" and were present during the Schnee Dust Company's charity event. The Angry Businessman only had one line in which he expressed irritation when the Waiter, voiced by Kyler Smith, failed to bring him his double sundae. The Businessman also talked with Jacques Schnee. Later, they were among the crowd when General Ironwood scorned them for their apathy towards the Fall of Beacon.

Following Jacques' arrest, they likely ceased business with the SDC due to his actions.

They are voiced by two co-founders of the abridging group Team Four Star, Nick Landis and Scott Frerichs.

Schnee Manor Staff[]

V7 08 00015

Faunus Waiter

The Schnee family employed both Faunus and Human staff members to work at the Schnee Manor. The primarily Faunus pretense upset Marrow Amin, who noticed the social issue during the banquet in "Cordially Invited".

After Jacques Schnee was arrested in "As Above, So Below", all of the staff quit working at the mansion and left Whitley Schnee and Willow Schnee to fend for themselves.

Atlas Ship Captain[]

V3 09 00122

The captain on the bridge of his Atlesian Airship.

This Atlas Ship Captain[2] was in command of one of the Atlesian airships above Vale in "PvP". When several giant Nevermores attacked the air fleet, he attempted to move his ships into a defensive position. However, unbeknownst to him, one of his ships was commandeered by Roman Torchwick and Neopolitan, who wreaked havoc amongst the fleet. The captain was killed when Roman fired upon his airship.

Over communications, he was designated with the callsign Blue Four.

The captain was voiced by professional voice actor Travis Willingham.

Businesswoman[]

Atlas Businesswoman

The businesswoman, on the far right

A businesswoman was seen chatting with Jacques Schnee and a businessman in "Tipping Point", regarding the wealth disparity between Atlas and Mantle. Later, since she was among the crowd when General Ironwood scorned them for their apathy towards the Fall of Beacon.

Following Jacques' arrest, she likely ceased business with the SDC due to his actions.

She is voiced by Amber Lee Connors.

President's Secretary[]

Manga 3 SDC President's Secretary

The SDC President's Secretary in the manga

The President's Secretary is a character that has thus far only appeared in the manga.

The Secretary was an assistant to Jacques Schnee, the former President of the Schnee Dust Company, running matters that the President was too busy to attend to personally. The Secretary is seen supervising Weiss Schnee's combat training and has known the heiress for some time, observing her since she first started training.

While their relationship was based on a false pretense of politeness, Weiss actually had a very low opinion of the Secretary, whom she regarded as a puppet of her father. In turn, the Secretary had very little genuine concern for the heiress and had no qualms placing Weiss in great danger at her father's orders.

The Secretary first appears in Chapter 3 of the manga, watching Weiss' combat training, emptily praising Weiss' skill with her weapon and Semblance but stating that she must continue to devote herself in her studies at Atlas Academy. When Weiss stated that she has already decided to study at Beacon in Vale, the Secretary attempted to persuade her not to. After Weiss refused, the Secretary instead unleashed a dangerous Arma Gigas, which Weiss must fight as part of a dangerous test created by her father.

In Chapter 4, as the fight continued, the Secretary continued to try to manipulate Weiss by claiming that her father loved her very much and that she should stay and support him since her sister Winter had left home. However, Weiss refused to be manipulated and shouted at them to stop. After Weiss defeated the Arma Gigas, the Secretary accompanied Weiss to a sudden charity concert. When Weiss wondered out loud if her father ever knew how hard she was devoted to being the best, the Secretary assured her that he knew very well.

Following Jacques' arrest, the Secretary likely quit working for the SDC due to his actions.

Schnee Corp Operator[]

V2 03 00028

The SDC operator who speaks to Weiss at the CCT

This unnamed Schnee Corp Operator[3] appeared in "A Minor Hiccup", answering Weiss' call to SDC headquarters in Atlas. She was at first surprised to see Weiss, but she reluctantly acquiesced to her request for some sensitive documents. She offered to patch Weiss through to Jacques Schnee, her father and to Winter Schnee, her sister, but Weiss turned down both of these offers.

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

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

Following Jacques Schnee's arrest, it was likely that she quit working for the SDC along with the rest of the company.

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

Trophy Wife and Husband[]

V4E6 Trophy Wife and Husband

The Trophy Wife and her Husband

The Trophy Wife and Husband showed up in "Tipping Point" and were present during the Schnee Dust Company's charity event, discussing the attack of Vale and how the Kingdom got what it deserved. Weiss overheard their conversation and became enraged. She began yelling at them and the other guests. Under emotional stress, Weiss summoned a white Boarbatusk that charged towards the Trophy Wife. James Ironwood saved the woman before the creature could attack her. She demanded for Weiss to be arrested, but Ironwood scorned the crowd instead after seeing how apathetic they were to the situation at Beacon.

Following Jacques' arrest, they likely ceased business with the SDC due to his actions.

They are voiced by Felecia Angelle and Chris Kokkinos.

Stephanie Santiago[]

In "A New Approach", on the news screen in the hallway of Atlas Academy, it said that if a student wanted to have a meeting with Ironwood, they should contact this person.

Penny Project Scientists[]

V7 07 00049

Picture of the Penny Project scientists

Pietro Polendina, Arthur Watts and three other scientists were tasked by Ironwood to find the next breakthrough in defense technology. Pietro's idea was a robot capable of generating an Aura. Much to his surprise, his Penny Project was chosen over all the other proposals.

Following the completion of the Penny Project, one of the scientists present in the photo went on to work as a developer for Human Nextwork, an in-universe game-development company known for developing RWBY: Amity Arena. While they all had rivalries, the developer and Watts shared an ingenuity for creating "killing machines", as well as a close friendship which had been thought to overcome what bickering they had. However, this was proven wrong after Watts faked his death in the Paladin Incident to take revenge against Ironwood and Pietro.[4]

The writers have stated that the lady in the Photograph with black hair is not Cinder Fall's mother.[5]

Bill[]

V8 05 00147

Bill.

Bill was an employee of the Atlesian Command Center that appeared in "Strings". He had a habit of bringing coffee to his work area, despite there being a rule against food and drinks in central command and his fellow co-workers always reminded him about it. Bill was later seen in "Amity" where he went speechless and dropped his coffee as he and his co-workers received a broadcast of Ruby's message to Remnant. He was later seen again in "Ultimatum" when an Atlesian solider informed Ironwood about the dozens of Schnee Dust Company ships heading for Mantle.

In "Worthy", Bill was killed in the attack on the command center with his co-workers by Cinder, Neo and Watts as his mug was shown on the floor.

Madame[]

V8 06 00012

Welcoming Cinder into her new "home"

The Madame of the Glass Unicorn was the business owner and adoptive "mother" of Cinder Fall, having adopted and taken in Cinder from the orphanage in Mistral in order to have her work within her establishment as free labor.

Sometime in her past, the Madam had given birth to her two daughters and ran the Glass Unicorn, it was unknown if she was ever married or what happened to her husband if she had one. However due to needing more help to properly run the Hotel and likely not wanting to use her own wealth to pay for the wages of an entire staff, the Madam had apparently opted to instead procure an alternative method to acquire the needed help.

Journeying to Mistral, the Madam had gone and visited a Children's Home for Orphans in order to "adopt" a child. During her time in the home, the Madame had noticed and apparently selected the young Cinder Fall, as her adoptive daughter and proceeded to then bring her to her home kingdom of Atlas.

After introducing Cinder to her establishment and her two biological daughters, the Madam proceeded to explain to Cinder of her new chores and duties to help running the Hotel before giving her a loaf of bread to eat of the floor and ordering her to hurry up in order to get started on her new duties.

V8 06 00035

The Madam "raising" Cinder

During her time "raising" Cinder, it was evident that the Madam was incredibly sadistic, amoral and abusive towards the young girl, with her having made a point of barely feeding her, making her do all the needed house work for the entire hotel singlehandedly, granting her subhuman conditions to live by only giving her a old abandoned store room as her "bedroom" and her having literally forced her to wear a shock collar disguised as a necklace in order to shock her as punishments for any mistakes or blunders she makes or simply due to the fact that it amused her. The Madame was also shown to enable the bullying and abusive behaviors of her two biological daughters towards her "step-daughter".

Ultimately she would face her end after being killed by Cinder in retaliation for her treatment of her alongside her two children after pushing Cinder to the limit.

Despite having been killed by her, its been shown that the Madame's negative influence is still abundant within Cinder's mind due to abuse leaving deep psychological scars within her psyche. This is seen where Cinder herself unconsciously incorporated several of the Madame's personality traits into her own behavior and personality, notably the Madam's cruelty, sadism and controlling tendencies.

She was voiced by Linda Leonard.

Step-Sisters[]

V8 06 00018

The Step-Sisters

The Madam of the Glass Unicorn was also shown to have two biological daughters who acted as her assistants in managing and running their hotel alongside their mother and were the adoptive "sisters" to Cinder.

Similarly to their mother, the Two Sisters where shown to be just as amoral, sadistic and abusive towards their "step-sister" and greatly enjoyed tormenting her due to her situation as essentially being their personal slave. This is seen where the two greatly enjoyed increasing Cinder's workload by purposefully making messes, laughed whenever she made mistakes or blunders and bullied and abused her constantly. The two were also shown having made point of trying to purposefully getting her into trouble with their mother if anything happens as much as they can, implying that the two were aware of their mother's methods of "punishing" Cinder and were sadistically delighted by it.

The two were usually shown to typically having a haughty and arrogant look and demeanor in their faces when facing Cinder due to the difference in their "status" in their home.

It was implied that the two sisters were also somewhat responsible for keeping tabs on Cinder for their mother, with the two having implied to have either been spying on Cinder in her room or going through her things due to having found her recently gifted weapon from her mentor.

Eventually their abusive behavior towards their "step-sister" got them killed, after they found Cinder's sword and reported it to their mother and confronted her about it. Although what exactly happened is unknown, their bodies are shown lying motionless on the floor when Rhodes finds Cinder strangling her stepmother. It's implied that they pushed Cinder to the edge and caused her to snap, killing them so that she'd no longer have to endure their abuse and as vengeance for their treatment of her before proceeding to kill their mother.

Both sisters are voiced by Amanda Lee, also known as AmaLee.

Father and Child[]

V8 11 00003

Father and Child

They were citizens of Atlas that appear in "War". They almost get killed by the invading Grimm during the beginning of the Battle of Atlas, but manage to get to safety by evacuating to the city's Subways in "Risk".

Later in "Worthy", the two could be seen evacuating Atlas through the Evacuation Central Location of Ambrosius, where the two were caught up in the crossfire of Cinder Fall's attacks and nearly harmed if not for Weiss.

They are voiced by Matthew and Alexia Cruz, who they are both modeled after.[6]

Tortuga[]

Tortuga was a member of the Ace Operatives prior to their first onscreen appearance. At some point they died, presumably during a mission, and their position on the team was replaced by Marrow Amin.

Tortuga likely alludes to the tortoise from The Tortoise and the Hare Aesop's Fable. This could also imply there may be some connection with them and Harriet Bree.

"Tortuga" is the Spanish word for turtle, which typically have dark-green scales and brownish shells.

Male and Female Atlas Soldier Officers[]

V8 11 00007

Male and Female Officers

The male and female officers are two Atlas Military Soldiers that constantly appear throughout Volumes 7 and 8. They first appear in "Ace Operatives" while patrolling the tundra of Solitas. Later in "The Enemy of Trust", Neopolitan disguises herself as the female officer in order to steal the Relic of Knowledge from Team JNPR and Oscar Pine while sending multiple Atlas soldiers their way.

During "Divide", the female officer reported to Ironwood that they had both Robyn Hill and Qrow Branwen in their custody and was present when Ironwood killed Sleet. Later in "Strings", both the male and female officers were present at the Atlas Command Center and were among the people that complained about Bill spilling coffee in the office. Both officers were present in the command center in "Amity" when Ruby's message was broadcasted all over Remnant.

By the time of "Ultimatum" however, both officers were shown to be afraid of Ironwood when they reported that both Qrow and Robyn escaped. In "Risk" they nervously saluted to him as he walked by them. Both officers were later killed in "Worthy" along with the rest of the Atlas Command Center personnel by Cinder Fall, Arthur Watts and Neopolitan.

Kiersi Burkhart stated that both officers were background characters that occasionally appeared and that they were a set of characters she tried to place in Volume 8 as much as possible.[7]

T. Cornetto[]

T. Cornetto was one of the Atlas soldiers assigned to take Tyrian Callows back to Atlas after the serial killer was finally caught and taken into custody. He along with the rest of his squadron were presumably killed during the Grimm ambush his last known transmissions being about someone that was coming after them.

Cornetto can refer to both a surname and popular pastry of Italian origin.

Mantle[]

Ilia Amitola's Parents[]

Ilia Amitola's Parents were miners in Mantle for the Schnee Dust Company, having been killed when an unstable mine exploded and caved in on them. It is heavily implied that Ilia's parents worked in the Schnee Dust Company Mine 2, seen in "Ace Operatives".

This event caused Ilia to join the White Fang in order to avenge them.

Mantle Miners[]

V7 01 00032

Truck full of miners

The Mantle Miners are Human and Faunus workers in Mantle employed primarily by the Schnee Dust Company, serving to find and mine Dust for the monopoly. Despite having equal pay, Faunus workers found they were discriminated against in labor, often being undervalued by their employers. They were also shown to work in dangerous working conditions such as unstable Dust mines and were shown to constantly be covered in filth like in "The Greatest Kingdom".

V7 05 00115

Miners in a mine

The miners later watched Jacques Schnee's broadcast about closing all SDC facilities in Mantle and were shown to be annoyed at him. Following Jacques arrest, they all quit working for the company due to his actions and evacuated to the crater in Mantle until they were sent to Vacuo using the Evacuation Central Location.

Drunk Mann and Drinking Buddy[]

V7 09 00024

Drunk Mann and Drinking Buddy during the Mantle riot

Drunk Mann and Drinking Buddy are characters seen sporadically throughout Volume 7. They were citizens of Mantle, first seen in "The Greatest Kingdom" getting into a drunken argument with Blake Belladonna after overhearing her saying Mantle appeared to be an awful city. They claimed that the state of Mantle and Atlas was brought on by helping other Kingdoms and they should just leave them to rot. Mann was then thrown into a dumpster by Weiss after he mocked Blake for being a Faunus. As both leave, Buddy recognized Weiss and tried to chase after her but tripped and fell in a drunken stupor.

Drinking Buddy was later seen in "Sparks" throwing a trash can at a broadcast screen after Jacques announced the closure of all SDC Operations, causing a riot to start in Mantle. Drinking Buddy was arrested for the riot in Mantle in "A Night Off" while Drunk Mann was also later seen in the same episode voting during the election, although whom he voted for wasn't shown. In "Cordially Invited", they were later seen together witnessing a snowfall in Mantle. In "As Above, So Below", they were once again seen together with the crowd creating a bonfire with stolen fire Dusts from the shops to keep themselves warm as possible during the riot. Drunk Mann was later seen watching Robyn Hill and General Ironwood reveal the truth about Salem to the Kingdom.

In "Amity", they are both seen together with the crowd and Joanna Greenleaf as they watched Ruby's message to Remnant about Salem attacking Atlas. In "The Final Word", they are both seen together with the evacuees of Atlas and Mantle during the Grimm attack in Vacuo.

Drunk Mann is voiced by Joel Mann and Drinking Buddy is voiced by Dustin Matthews, and the characters are caricatures of said animators.

The "Thirsty Moms" are a group of women who appear in "Sparks" fawning over Huntsman Jaune Arc as he escorts their children home from school. One woman insistingly gives Jaune a casserole which he awkwardly accepts. Jaune's response of "Oh, another casserole." implies that this is a reoccurring event which has already happened several times with these mothers. Nora smirks while watching this, commenting how it's definitely the haircut that has them acting this way towards Jaune.

In "A Night Off", the second and fourth mothers in the background are later seen being arrested by the Atlas Military for participating in the Mantle riots. Later that night, the same two, as well as the third mother, can be seen amongst those killed by Tyrian Callows during the massacre at Robyn Hill's rally.

She is among the crowds fleeing from Grimm in "Out in the Open". In "Refuge", she agreed to follow Yang's lead in the evacuation. While travelling through the streets towards the Crater she carried a large snow shovel, likely as an improvised weapon in case of a Grimm attack. In "Risk", she is seen hugging a Faunus woman after hearing Ironwood's speech. In "Worthy", she is among the first refugees to pass through the portal to Vacuo along with her son and her mother.

"Shovel Mom" was a character that Paula Decanini tried to include in Volume 8 as much as possible to give the audience a recognizable face that they could latch onto and empathize with during the Mantle conflict.[9]

Mother is voiced by Jenn K. Tidwell.

Thirsty Moms' Children[]

V7 05 00023

The Thristy Moms' Children being escorted across the street by Jaune Arc

Cye then reveals that she uses it to help with her ice fishing and teaches Yang how to effectively use it and upgrading her Burn Semblance so it could destroy metal blocks.

Her name is a corruption of the word icy, which brings the colors of blue and white to mind. This trait is shared with her sister.

Cye is voiced by Anjali Kunapaneni.
