Oliver Queen / Green Arrow Stephen Amell 1–present
Stephen Amell

Oliver Jonas "Ollie" Queen is the main protagonist of the series; a billionaire playboy turned vigilante archer. In season 1, Oliver returns to Starling City after being presumed dead for five years. He begins a crusade as a hooded vigilante to neutralize or kill if necessary, the wealthy members of a criminal organization using a list his father gave him before he died. Oliver finds himself facing a larger conspiracy: the "Undertaking", orchestrated by Malcolm Merlyn and involving Oliver's mother Moira. The "Undertaking" eventually destroys the Glades; a poor and crime-ridden section of Starling City. He attempts to reconnect with his family, in the process, becoming friends with his ex-girlfriend Laurel who grows closer to Oliver's best friend; Tommy. He takes Diggle and Felicity on as partners to help in his crusade. At the end of the season, he supposedly kills Malcolm, the Glades is destroyed and Tommy dies, leaving Oliver grief-struck. This lead him to return to the island where he spent some of the five years as a castaway. In flashbacks to the time he disappeared, Oliver is shipwrecked on the island of Lian Yu, (Purgatory) after his father's yacht sank. He begun to learn the skills needed to survive from various people, including Slade Wilson/Deathstroke and Yao Fei, all the while being hunted by mercenaries led by Edward Fyers.

In season 2, after the "Undertaking", Oliver returns to Starling and reignites his crusade. He now goes by the alias "Arrow", and in honor of Tommy, vows to never kill again. He fights criminals who take advantage of the Glades after its destruction while trying to redeem himself as a hero, but is challenged when those closest to him are endangered. He co-runs Queen Consolidated with Isabel Rochev and becomes friends with Alderman Sebastian Blood. Oliver finds himself investigating a larger plot orchestrated by Slade Wilson, involving Mirakuru, a strength-enhancing drug. It is Wilson's intention to destroy everything and everyone Oliver cares for. Sebastian and Isabel are also working for Slade and help bankrupt Oliver, causing him to lose his home and his business. Oliver gains help from Sara Lance, now the vigilante "Canary", and he takes Roy Harper, Thea's boyfriend, as a protégé. After Felicity injects Slade with the Mirakuru cure, Oliver defeats Slade and locks him up in an underground prison on Lian Yu. In flashbacks, Oliver is hunted by Dr. Ivo's armed crew seeking the Mirakuru and he accidentally causes the death of Shado, his lover on the island. Slade also loved Shado, which explains Slade's motives in the present. A flashback before the island reveals that Oliver impregnated a girl named Samantha Clayton, and Moira paid Samantha to tell Oliver the child died and to move to Central City, leaving him unaware of his impending fatherhood.

In season 3, Oliver has become a public hero to the citizens of Starling City and has taken Roy on as a full sidekick but lives in his foundry safe house due to losing his mansion. Oliver is faced with the moral question of whether he can be Oliver Queen and live his life while the city needs the Arrow. This is only further challenged when he realizes he is in love with Felicity but she has caught the attention of Ray Palmer and works with both of them. After Thea returns to Starling City, they decide to reopen their nightclub together. Oliver is also inadvertently embroiled in a conflict with Ra's al Ghul due to Malcolm's manipulations. During a fight with Ra's, he suffers a mortal wound and nearly dies but is saved by Maseo and Tatsu Yamashiro. Ra's demands that Oliver becomes his heir, because Oliver is the only man who has survived a death match against Ra's (according to the League‘s prophecy, only the man who survives his assault would succeed Ra's). When he rejects the offer, Ra's begins killing people in Starling City posing as the Arrow to force Oliver to accept his offer. When Ra's nearly kills Thea, Oliver chooses to join the League, abandoning his former identity to become "Al Sah-him" (Arabic: سهم; "Arrow") and pretends to be a darker and more cruel version of himself in order to get closer to Ra's to bring the organization down from the inside. Ra's had Oliver wed his daughter, Nyssa al Ghul, to keep Ra's bloodline in charge of the League. Oliver later kills Ra's and inherits the mantle but immediately passes it to Malcolm and decides to retire from being the Arrow and live a happy life with Felicity, knowing that Laurel, Diggle, Ray, and Thea will protect the city in his absence. The season's flashbacks explore Oliver's time in Hong Kong, where Amanda Waller forces Oliver to become an A.R.G.U.S. agent after witnessing his combat capabilities on the island and uses the Yamashiros as his handlers. During this time, it is revealed that Oliver had returned to Starling City while on a mission; he discovered Thea's drug problems, witnessed the start of the relationship between Laurel and Tommy, and saw Felicity two years before they eventually meet.

In season 4, Oliver's retirement is short-lived as Laurel and Thea ask for his assistance in stopping a group known as "The Ghosts" who have been wreaking havoc in Star (formerly Starling) City. He agrees to help, knowing the leader of the Ghosts is Damien Darhk, leader of H.I.V.E. Oliver now goes by the name "Green Arrow", ostensibly a new vigilante following in the footsteps of the former Arrow, who Star City believes to have died. He also plans to propose to Felicity and run for the office of mayor. Oliver also has an associate connection with John Constantine. While on a mission with Barry Allen in Central City, Oliver meets a boy, William, by chance in a coffee shop and discovers that he is Samantha Clayton's son; Oliver ultimately learns that he is William's father after he has Barry run a paternity test. Despite his desire to acknowledge William, Samantha refused to grant Oliver full access; she sees Oliver as troubled due to his past as a playboy, in addition, she still hates his mother. The revelations of his fatherhood and the fact his mother kept it a secret from him not only complicates his relationship with Felicity and his duty as Green Arrow, but also threatens to jeopardize his mayoral campaign. After an attack by H.I.V.E leaves Felicity permanently paraplegic, Oliver becomes vengeful and as a result, his fight with Darhk becomes a vendetta. Oliver also discovers that Thea is dying after learning the Pit's restorative effect on her is waning, leaving him to desperately search for a cure for his sister until Nyssa offers one in exchange for killing Malcolm. Oliver and Malcolm fight, resulting in Oliver cutting off Malcolm's left hand and giving the Demon's Head ring to Nyssa, and Nyssa giving Oliver the cure. Instead of Nyssa remaining leader of the League of Assassins, she disbands it, causing Malcolm to seek vengeance against Oliver, making them enemies once again. As a result, Darhk kidnaps William, his relationship with Felicity becomes estranged, and he is forced to resign from his campaign following his enemies' discovery of his son. After Darhk is successfully prosecuted, Malcolm aids him in escaping, with help from Andy Diggle, by restoring his magic and fatally stabs Laurel with Oliver's own arrow while he is helpless to stop it. Laurel later dies of her injuries moments after admitting that she still loves him leaving Oliver devastated and broken. During his quest to stop Darhk, Oliver learns that the pure forces of light can counter Darhk's powers due to those endowments deriving from the forces of darkness and H.I.V.E.'s plan of ruling a post-apocalyptic world. At the end of the season Oliver stops Darhk's plan to destroy the world and kills him, and with the death of the previous mayor, Ruve Adams, Oliver becomes acting mayor of Star City. The season's flashbacks explore Oliver's training with A.R.G.U.S. and his infiltration of the Shadowspire organization on Lian Yu.

He is based on the DC Comics character Green Arrow.

In season 1, Laurel is a lawyer for CNRI, a legal aid firm, and girlfriend of Tommy Merlyn. She had been Oliver's girlfriend prior to the shipwreck. When Oliver returns, she despises him for having an affair with her sister Sara which apparently led to her death, but gradually comes to accept him upon learning of his suffering on the island and remembering her sister's rebellious faults. She also occasionally works with the Hood/Arrow—unaware that he is Oliver—with cases the courts are unwilling to move on. Oliver and Laurel eventually reignite their relationship after Tommy breaks up with her. Tommy dies saving Laurel when CNRI is destroyed along with much of the Glades.

In season 2, Laurel is hired as an assistant district attorney and is assigned to help prosecute Moira Queen. She also does not deal well with Tommy's death and starts taking drugs and drinking, pushing her friends and family away. She is attracted to Alderman Sebastian Blood, but discovers he has a secret; Blood arranges for her drug problem to be discovered and she is fired. Laurel eventually chooses sobriety after an argument with Oliver and inspiration from her returned sister Sara's vigilante alter-ego Canary, and gets her job back with the district attorney's office. Laurel learns Oliver's secret from Slade Wilson. Slade hopes to use her as a pawn against Oliver, but instead Laurel confronts Oliver with this knowledge and decides to keep his secret. She also learns Sara's secret. Laurel is abducted by Slade, who plans to kill her in front of Oliver, but he is defeated.

In season 3, Laurel is working to prosecute the criminals Oliver catches. She also worries over her father's continuing field activities while he still recovers from his injury from Slade's attack and urges him to use his new political powers to serve the city. When Sara again returns to Starling City, she is killed in front of Laurel. Grief-stricken and vengeful, she makes a disastrous and amateurish attempt to replace her late sister as the Canary. Oliver refuses to train her, so Laurel seeks former boxer/vigilante Ted Grant's help with combat training. She also wears Sara's Canary jacket in remembrance of her and eventually becomes the "Black Canary".[1] In her new role as a vigilante, she partners with Roy Harper to help liberate the Glades from crime lord Danny Brickwell during Oliver's absence, ultimately working outside of the law while remaining a prosecuting attorney. She eventually learns that Malcolm Merlyn is directly responsible for Sara's murder and tries to avenge both hers and Tommy's deaths. He overpowers her but she is saved by Nyssa, who ultimately offers to help Laurel further her training and gradually she becomes a skilled combatant with familiarity with the League of Assassins' tactics. In addition, Cisco Ramon helps Laurel by providing her an ultrasonic collar using components from both Sara's and Hartley Rathaway’s weapons, improving Laurel's tactics with sonic weaponry.

In season 4, after Laurel learns the details of Thea's resurrection after Ra's attack, she hopes to bring Sara back in the same way by seeking the League of Assassins' help at Nanda Parbat but her sister remains lacking a soul after the resurrection. However, with Oliver and John Constantine's help, Laurel finally reunites with her sister after retrieving Sara's soul from the afterlife, and later, with Cisco's help, Laurel refines Sara's costumed persona as the White Canary. Laurel discovers that Damien Darhk is extorting her father to work with H.I.V.E., resulting in her own fight against Darhk becoming personal. Laurel is the second person after Felicity to find out her father is dating the latter's mother Donna Smoak, and she gives them her blessing after she sees Donna's positive influence over her father. While fighting alongside her team, Laurel is stabbed with an arrow by Damien, who has regained his powers, as revenge upon her father for betrayal, and is rushed to the hospital by Oliver. She has a heart-to-heart talk with the team, and while speaking with Oliver about how he was the love of her life and asking Oliver that she not be the last Black Canary, she starts seizing and passes away at 11:59 p.m., moments before her father arrives. Her death is mourned by her friends, particularly Oliver and John, as John blames himself for her death and letting Andy betray them. When a teenager named Evelyn Sharp begins masquerading as Black Canary to avenge her family, her actions brand Black Canary as a criminal, but Oliver is able to save Laurel's image by revealing her secret to the public. Her identity as Black Canary is engraved on her gravestone.

Laurel's full name is Dinah Laurel Lance, and she is based on the DC Comics character Black Canary.

Tommy dates Laurel during the first season, though Oliver still has feelings for her. Tommy learns Oliver's secret in "Dead to Rights" when Oliver, as the vigilante, saves Malcolm from assassins.

John Diggle / Spartan David Ramsey 1–present
David Ramsey

John Andrew Diggle is a former United States Army Special Forces soldier (where he was honorably discharged with the rank of master sergeant) and Oliver's friend and partner. During season 1, John is hired as Oliver's bodyguard and becomes his confidant to help him in his mission to save Starling City, trying to help Oliver balance his normal life and vigilante life, and occasionally helping him in the field. Having been trained in first aid, John would provide Oliver with medical aid, limiting his needs for hospital medical treatment.

In season 3, John continues to help Oliver and his team but has to devote more of his time to his new baby with Lyla, whom he names Sara after Sara Lance is killed. After Lyla is seriously injured in an attack, he and Lyla decide to remarry. When Oliver is presumed dead at Ra's al Ghul's hands, John becomes an acting leader of the team, leading Felicity, Roy, and Laurel until his friend's return. After it, John accompanies him to Nanda Parbat to help him free Malcolm, but the two are captured. John and Lyla eventually do marry but after a near death experience with the Suicide Squad, only narrowly being saved when Deadshot sacrifices himself for them, John and Lyla decide to quit Team Arrow and A.R.G.U.S. for their daughter's sake. After Oliver leaves the team to join the League of Assassins, as part of a deal to revive a deceased Thea, John becomes the team leader. He is not yet ready to forgive Oliver for kidnapping Lyla as part of a deception to gain acceptance to the League.

In season 4, John, going by the codename Spartan,[3] discovers that the organization that targets Star City is H.I.V.E, who hired Lawton to murder his brother Andy. John is determined to find out the truth behind his brother's death and who was within the organization that ordered the hit, but is also at odds with Oliver due to kidnapping Lyla and endangering Sara despite Lyla having forgiven him. Eventually, he forgives Oliver after their fight with a H.I.V.E. metahuman operative named Jeremy Tell. With Quentin Lance's help, John learns that Damien Darhk had his brother murdered and that he was a drug cartel leader and Darhk's territorial rival prior to his death. However, John discovers that Darhk actually faked Andy's death and recruited him as a H.I.V.E. soldier, leading John and his brother to become enemies. Guilt-ridden for his brother's role in causing Laurel's death, John seeks revenge against his brother, Darhk and whoever else responsible of her murder; in his fury, John kills his brother after Andy nearly got Lyla and Sara killed, and he later lies to Lyla that he killed Andy in self-defense (who was already incapacitated). Oliver was there after John kills Andy and he knows that his friend killed his brother deliberately, and encouraging John to do the right thing by admitting the truth to his wife. John then rejoined the Army after his confession to his wife and Darhk's defeat.

In season 5, John, continues to serve in the army but is betrayed by his commanding officer Cpt. Walker following a failed attempt to sell nuclear weapons and is framed for his crimes and imprisoned in a state prison. John is broken out by Oliver and Lyla and remains in Star City using H.I.V.E.'s former base as a makeshift home until his innocence can be proved. John still feels guilty about killing Andy and continues to serve as Spartan to find redemption. Due to the events in The Flash episode "Flashpoint", John's family history has changed; his daughter Sara has been erased from existence and replaced by John "J.J" Diggle, Jr as a result of a timeline change caused by Eobard Thawne, correcting the Flashpoint reality created by Barry.

While John Diggle was originally a character created for the show, his popularity led to a character of the same name modeled after Ramsey's appearance to be created for the Green Arrow comics in The New 52.[4] While he was later removed due to the removal of the elements from the Arrow TV series after Issue 40, Diggle would later be used again following the relaunching of the series as part of DC Rebirth.[5]

Thea Queen / Speedy Willa Holland 1–present
Willa Holland

Thea Dearden Queen is the daughter of Moira Queen and Malcolm Merlyn, though both Malcolm and Thea were unaware of their relation to each other until season 2, and the younger half-sister to Oliver Queen and Tommy Merlyn. In season 1, Thea is battling a drug and alcohol problem which she used to fill the pain of losing her brother. After court ordered community service from taking "Vertigo", she grows to be more responsible. Thea's addiction with Vertigo also causes a bitter animosity between Oliver's vigilante alter-ego and the drug's creator, The Count. She also falls in love with Roy Harper, a lifelong street criminal who she meets when he steals her purse. Though he initially has no romantic interest in Thea despite an obvious physical attraction to her, mainly out of resentment because of her wealth, Roy later begins to genuinely fall in love with her.

In season 2, Thea runs the Verdant nightclub in Oliver and Tommy's absences and continues seeing Roy, but is frustrated by Roy's need to save people, though she gradually comes to accept it. She is however the subject of exclusion as most characters keep secrets from her including her true paternity which she eventually discovers when Slade Wilson abducts her. She then breaks up with Roy when he cheats on her, though he only does this to keep her away from him during his Mirakuru problem. Despite reconciling with Roy after having learned of his illness, she breaks up with him again after discovering his allegiance to the Arrow. After her mother's death, she decides to leave Starling City. Malcolm comes to save her and convinces her to leave with him.

In season 3, Thea begins the season in Corto Maltese receiving combat training from Malcolm, though she soon decides to return to Starling with Oliver. She also reopens her nightclub after Malcolm secretly buys the foundry from Queen Consolidated for her. She learns Oliver's secret identity as the Arrow when he shows her his hideout under the nightclub and begins to distrust Malcolm after learning that he already knows about Oliver's secret. After Thea is told that her father used her as a pawn against both Oliver and Ra's al Ghul by drugging and manipulating her into killing Sara Lance, she arranges for him to be captured by the League in retaliation. She reconciles with Roy but is nearly killed by Ra's and is brought back to life in the Lazarus Pit in exchange for Oliver joining the League of Assassins. Thea blames herself for letting her brother join the League. Roy breaks up with her when he leaves Starling City after faking his death, hoping that Thea can make a life of her own without him. He also leaves her his red costume which she wears to become a vigilante herself as his successor.

In season 4, Thea works with Oliver and his friends in the fight against the terrorist organization H.I.V.E. as "Speedy".[6] Despite the enjoyment of being a vigilante, Thea's behavior has become increasingly volatile and reckless when in the field, which Oliver realizes is a side effect of being in the Lazarus Pit. In addition, Thea helps Laurel to bring Sara back from the death in hopes of making amends towards the Lance family. Because of this, Thea is telepathically linked with Sara after her resurrection upon the Lazarus Pit. It is also revealed that Thea's Lazarus Pit side effect is able to counterattack Damien Darhk's life force drain in addition relieving her bloodlust temporarily. Thea is dying as the result of the Pit's restorative effect waning. With Tatsu Yamashiro's help, Nyssa al Ghul gives Oliver the 'Lotus', an elixir used by the Crescent Order that permanently reverses the effects of the Lazarus Pit, saving her life. Damien Darhk's wife, Ruvé Adams, eventually brainwashes Thea's new boyfriend Alex Davis into kidnapping her to a miniaturized H.I.V.E. facility built from stolen technology belonging to Oliver's ally Ray Palmer.

In season 5, Thea now works as Oliver's chief-of-staff, and is adamant about retiring from being a vigilante after Oliver kills a number of Tobias Church's thugs. She hires Quentin to be Deputy Mayor to Oliver and helps him beat his alcoholism.

Her brother's nickname for her, and later hero persona ("Speedy"), her middle name of Dearden and the alias "Mia" she used during her time at Corto Maltese, are easter egg connections to one of Green Arrow's sidekicks in the comics.[7]

Susanna Thompson

Moira Queen is the mother of Oliver and Thea, the former acting CEO of Queen Consolidated, mayoral candidate and wife of Robert Queen and later Walter Steele. She also had a brief affair with Malcolm Merlyn after his wife's death, which resulted in Thea’s birth. During season 1, Moira is involved in a criminal conspiracy orchestrated by Malcolm to destroy the "Glades", with him forcing Moira to handle all interference and supply him with the resources needed. Her involvement also causes her to keep many secrets from her family which, when revealed, causes Walter to divorce her and her kids to become distant. Moira eventually confesses her involvement and Malcolm’s, which results in her being arrested.

During season 2, Moira is put on trial for her involvement with Malcolm but she is acquitted as Malcolm returns, alive, and forces the jury to acquit her before she makes Malcolm go on the run by informing Ra's al Ghul of Malcolm's survival. Moira eventually becomes a mayoral candidate against Sebastian Blood on Walter’s advice, but the secret of Thea's parentage is revealed, causing a rift between Moira and her children. It is revealed that she had been aware of Oliver's secret identity as the Arrow since the night of her arrest. She is murdered by Slade Wilson as part of his own plot of revenge against Oliver, as she made the same choice as Robert did for Oliver by sacrificing herself to prevent her son from having to choose between her and Thea. In a flashback, it is revealed that she paid a woman, Samantha Clayton, who got pregnant with Oliver's child to tell Oliver she lost the baby and move away to Central City never to speak to him again.

In season 3, Thompson returned to the series to record Moira's voice for when Oliver calls home from Hong Kong.[8]

In season 4, it is later revealed that Samantha never cashed Moira's check, and the attempted bribe resulted in Samantha hating the Queens; as the result, Samantha denied Moira access to her grandson, William, when she was alive, leaving Oliver hurt when he finds out but he is unable to acknowledge his son due to his mother's actions. This leaves Oliver painfully angered of Moira for deceiving him once more.

Thompson will return in the role for the fifth season, during the series' 100th episode.[9]

During season 1, Quentin resents Oliver for causing Sara's presumed death, followed by the deterioration of the relationships with his family, and becomes an alcoholic who throws himself into his work to avoid the pain. When Oliver returns, he openly shows his hatred of him and refuses to see through his past mistakes. He also hates the Arrow for being against everything Quentin believes in and tries numerous times to arrest him, one of which involves using Laurel which causes her to become distant for a time. Quentin is from time to time forced to work with the Arrow and eventually comes to accept him for the hero he is.

During season 2, Quentin is demoted to officer but is now an ally of the Arrow and becomes an informant on a number of cases and occasional field partner to him. He also struggles to recover from his alcoholism and the relationships with his family. After Sara is revealed to be alive and the vigilante "Canary", he helps her adjust to life after she returns to Starling City, and also helps Laurel cope with her pain over losing Tommy. However, Quentin discovers that he cannot renew his marriage with Dinah due to the fact that she has remarried at some point after their divorce. Quentin later regains his detective title. Quentin passes out from internal bleeding from a battle with Slade’s forces and falls into a coma.

In season 3, Quentin has survived, albeit now with frequent chest pains, and has been promoted to captain, a power he uses to call off the anti-vigilante task force. However his frequent assistance to the Arrow in the field continues to strain his condition and forces him to rely on the political connections of his new position and his subordinates to continue serving the city. He is initially unaware of Sara's death as Laurel believed that telling him would cause him a heart attack, but he becomes suspicious after Sara's protégée, Sin, informs him that the woman in Sara's costume is not her. He ultimately learns the truth about Sara's death and that Laurel has become her vigilante successor, and becomes estranged from Laurel and again succumbing to his alcoholism. He irrationally blames the Arrow for Sara's death and becomes determined to bring him to justice. He eventually learns from Ra's al Ghul of Oliver's secret identity. In the season finale, he supports Team Arrow once more when Ra's al Ghul plans to unleash the Alpha/Omega bio-weapon on Starling.

In season 4, it is revealed that Quentin is forced to be in league with Damien Darhk and his organization, H.I.V E., after Darhk threaten Quentin with the lives of his family's. After Oliver discovers his secret alliance, he persuades Lance to play double agent for him while continue working with Darhk, so he can inform what Darhk is really up to. However, in the process, Quentin exposes himself and thus Darhk gradually becomes suspicious of him but is too late to stop Quentin from learning that an ancient artifact in his possession is to be a source of his supernatural powers. With Quentin's intel, Mari McCabe is able to destroy Darhk's mystical idol, leaving Darhk powerless and arrested by Quentin's subordinates. Quentin then publicly admits in court of his association with H.I.V.E. under Darhk's duress, determined to see that justice will be served but also endangering his career. He reconciles with Laurel, and reunites with Sara once more after Laurel, Oliver, and John Constantine bring her back from the dead. He begins seeing Felicity's mother Donna Smoak, whom Quentin is happy to be with and thus starts to move on from his divorce and alcoholism, and he receives Laurel's blessing of his new relationship after she finds out. Quentin eventually meets Felicity's father and Donna's former husband, Noah Kuttler, and he personally arrest Noah after Felicity turns her father in. After Darhk murders Laurel, Quentin seeks to bring her back the same way as she did for Sara, only to learn from Nyssa al Ghul that the Lazarus Pit has been destroyed shortly after Sara's return, leaving him unable to resurrect his eldest daughter and devastated. With Donna's support, Quentin is able to cope with his loss without succumbing to alcoholism as he did after Sara's deaths. After saving the city with Oliver, Quentin is fired from his department, and he decides to leave Star City in hopes to lead a new life with Donna.

By Season 5, Lance has broken up with Donna and, now having no one left, returns to Star City and falls back into alcoholism. With encouragement from Oliver, Lance begins working to reform Star City's police force as a deputy mayor and working with the Green Arrow to reduce the city's rising crime rate. However, after Evelyn Sharp's fight with Prometheus, Felicity discovers that the shurikens the latter used was made from Oliver's old arrow heads stolen by someone who has access to the police department's evidence facility, and Quentin finds cuts on him that are identical as the killer's, implicating him.

The character is based on the DC Comics character Larry Lance, husband to Dinah Drake Lance and father to Dinah Laurel Lance.

She learns Oliver's secret in "The Odyssey" when he is shot and has her take him to his lair where she and John patch him up.

Later, after an encounter with Cupid, Felicity decides to break up with Oliver and initially leaves the team until Laurel's death motivates her to return. Because of her recovery, Felicity decides to dedicate her company's technological innovations to help people, but it causes her to lose her position as CEO due to her company's board's interest in profiting with their technology.

Slade Wilson / Deathstroke Manu Bennett 2 1 3
Manu Bennett

Slade Wilson is a former ASIS soldier who was ship-wrecked on Lian Yu, a mentor to Oliver Queen and is a protagonist/antihero in season 1 but becomes the main antagonist of season 2 and a minor antagonist of season 3.

During the season 1 flashbacks, Slade is a combat mentor to Oliver on the island and teaches him most of his fighting skills to fight Edward Fyers and his mercenaries in their combined attempts to escape the island and stop Fyers' plans. Though Slade openly doubts Oliver's abilities to survive or fight, often giving him demeaning nicknames, the two become close friends and fight together well. He also becomes romantically drawn to Shado, though she doesn't return the affection but is aware and amused by it.

In season 2, he appears in the flashbacks as a protagonist turned antagonist and appears in the present day as the main antagonist. In the flashbacks, he is severely wounded by Dr. Ivo’s mortar attacks and Oliver injects him with Mirakuru, a strength enhancing serum left on the island in WWII by Japanese, in order to save his life. When Shado is killed, Slade blames Oliver for her death and turns on him. In the present, Slade is alive, now operating as the mercenary Deathstroke, and plots to destroy Starling City with an army of Mirakuru soldiers working with Sebastian Blood and Isabel Rochev. He manages to undermine Oliver's life by causing him to lose his money and his business, revealing some of Oliver's secrets to Laurel and Thea and killing Moira before unleashing his army on the city. Oliver defeats him when Felicity injects him with the Mirakuru cure and he is imprisoned in a A.R.G.U.S. supermax on Lian Yu itself.

In season 3, Slade is temporarily released by Malcolm Merlyn and attempts to imprison Oliver and Thea in the supermax and return to Starling but the two are able to beat Slade and re-imprison him.

  • First appearance: "Betrayal"
Malcolm Merlyn / Dark Archer John Barrowman 3–4 1-2 5
John Barrowman

Malcolm Merlyn, born Arthur King, is a wealthy businessman, member of the League of Assassins, father of Tommy and Thea and one of the main antagonists of the series. During season 1, Malcolm plots the Undertaking, the destruction of the Glades, after his wife Rebecca was murdered there. When Robert Queen threatened the Undertaking, Malcolm arranged to destroy Robert's ship, Queen's Gambit, resulting in Robert Queen's death and the assumed deaths of Oliver and Sara which indirectly lead to their journeys of becoming the Arrow and the Canary. In the present day, he uses Moira to gain access to all the resources needed and tries to reshape his son into a better person by cutting him off which works but causes tensions between them. When the Arrow interferes with his plan, Malcolm also becomes a vigilante who similarly uses a bow and arrow but with a black costume to oppose him and proves to be far more skilled than him. He also suspects Oliver to be the Arrow and is ultimately proven right after defeating him a second time. In the season finale, he is seemingly killed by Oliver though he manages to destroy much of the Glades and inadvertently kills Tommy, and is also publicly exposed for his crime by Moira.

In season 2, Malcolm returns alive and in secret to suborn the jury in Moira's trial to find her innocent of the Undertaking. He discovers that he is Thea's biological father after following Adam Donner's investigation of Malcolm's past affair with Moira. In an attempt to keep Malcolm from Thea, Moira informs Ra's al Ghul of his survival, forcing Malcolm to flee Starling City. During Slade's attack on the city, Malcolm returns to save Thea from the Mirakuru soldiers and convinces her to leave Starling with him.

In season 3, Malcolm is revealed to have trained Thea to be a warrior in Corto Maltese. Despite being both the League's target and a fugitive of the law, Malcolm returns to Starling City, though his presence and survival is not known to the general public. He also secretly purchased the foundry from Queen Consolidated, the site of Thea's nightclub Verdant. It is revealed that his name in the League of Assassins is "Al Sa-Her" (Arabic: الساحر), which translates to "The Magician", after Malcolm performed a magic trick for a young Nyssa al Ghul upon his arrival in Nanda Parbat. He also continues to train Thea to the point where she can even defeat him in combat. Malcolm plots to rid himself of Ra's al Ghul and drugs Thea into killing Sara so Oliver will take the fall for her murder and challenge Ra's to a duel, as al Ghul's death will eliminate Malcolm's blood debt. However this plan fails and almost gets Oliver killed, who barely survives his fight with al Ghul and returns only after a whole month. Malcolm learns that crime lord Danny Brickwell was responsible for the murder of his wife, but Oliver persuades him to choose justice over vengeance for Thea's sake, allowing Brick to be tried for his crimes. Malcolm is tasked to train Oliver in swordplay following the latter's return in preparation of them battling Ra's al Ghul together. When Oliver tells Thea that she killed Sara, and that Malcolm is directly responsible because he brainwashed her to do it, she betrays Malcolm to the League; he is captured, taken to Nanda Parbat, and tortured but is freed when Oliver accept his offer to take Ra's place. After Thea is killed by Ra's, Malcolm accompanies Oliver to Nanda Parbat to revive her but Oliver is forced to take Ra's offer and join the League. However Malcolm secretly begins working with Oliver, planning to cripple the league from within and stop Ra's plan to unleash the Alpha/Omega bio-weapon on Starling City. Malcolm subsequently leads Team Arrow to save the city until Oliver's return. After Ra's is killed by Oliver in a final sword fight, he hands the leadership of the League to Malcolm, which Nyssa suspects is what Malcolm has schemed all along since Sara's death though he claims he only desired to rid himself of Ra's. Despite their renewed animosity following Ra's defeat, both Malcolm and Oliver harbor deep respect for each other: Malcolm regards Oliver as a surrogate son and Oliver himself remembers the man Malcolm was before the death of his wife, though is unable to forgive him for everything that he has done.

In season 4, Malcolm helps Laurel resurrect Sara in order to have his family's blood debt with Laurel's settled, and helps Thea in controlling her bloodlust. He provides information to Oliver and Barry Allen about Vandal Savage. To keep Damien Darhk from figuring out Oliver's secret, Malcolm occasionally masquerades himself as Green Arrow. However, despite occasionally helping Oliver, Malcom remains an amoral man and is despised by Oliver's team and their allies, particularly Barry Allen despite having no personal history with Malcolm. His aiding to Oliver is either for protecting Thea from Oliver's enemies or his own agendas. Malcolm ultimately loses both his left hand and his power after Nyssa wins the League's leadership with Oliver's help, leading him to align himself with Darhk for revenge against Oliver. In the process, Malcolm reveals Oliver's secrets to Darhk. As a result, Damien makes Malcolm a H.I.V.E. member and providing him a cybernetic prosthesis for his lost appendage. In order to protect himself and Thea from Damien's plans Malcolm steals Damien's idol back, working with Andy Diggle, which results in Laurel's death. Despite the League's disbandment, Malcolm remains a leader to its remnants.

He is based on the DC Comics character Arthur King / Merlyn.
