Character The Warriors

Ajax is a member of The Warriors, and is the roughest and toughest member of the gang. He is white and wears a black A-shirt under his colors, and fingerless gloves.
Ajax joined the Warriors on June 15, 1978, and he and Snow fought off a number of other Warriors members to earn their colors. Later that night, their vests were stolen from them by The Destroyers and the pair had to fight their way into Destroyer territory to retrieve them. He did not get along with Swan being Warlord after Cleon was killed at the meeting, protesting that he wanted to be the leader. He fought off the Baseball Furies in Riverside Park and has a large sexual appetite for women. This proved to be his downfall as he attempted to rape an undercover policewoman in the park, leading to his arrest. Ajax is named after the mythological Greek hero.
He was played and voiced by James Remar.

Cleon was the co-founder of The Warriors and Warlord prior to Swan. He is African American and wears a leopard skin do-rag on his head.
He founded the Warriors with Vermin on April 16, 1978 when the pair left The Destroyers. He picked out eight fellow Warriors to head up to The Bronx for the meeting with Cyrus and all the other gangs. Unfortunately, The Rogues framed Cleon for killing Cyrus and he is beaten to death by the Gramercy Riffs. In a deleted scene from the film, Cleon is shown talking to the gang, and why he picked them out of a street family of 120, plus affiliates. In this scene we also see Lincoln, Cleon's girlfriend, who has a bad feeling about them going to The Bronx. He is named after the ancient Greek ruler.
He was played and voiced by Dorsey Wright.

Cochise is a Warriors member. He is African American, sports an afro with a bandana tied around it and wears Native American-style clothing.
Cochise was originally from Harlem but later moved to Coney Island with his mother, where he joined The Warriors on August 18, 1978. He earned his colors by going back to Harlem with Snow and stealing the hat from Big Moe, the leader of The Boppers. He is a good fighter, and showed off his cool moves whilst fighting The Punks, but got seduced by The Lizzies and almost got shot and then slashed with a flick-knife. He is named after the Native American leader.
He was played and voiced by David Harris.

Cowboy is a member of The Warriors. He is White, and wears a Stetson cowboy hat, hence the name, and a brown T-shirt under his vest. He is the cheeriest member of the gang, but is also very quiet and nervous before the meeting at the Bronx.
He joined The Warriors on May 6, 1978, after being noticed by Cleon and Vermin at a King of the Hill competition with Swan. He was beaten up by The Baseball Furies (he was exhausted having been constantly on the run beforehand) after the meeting but held his own in the fight against The Punks.
He was played by Tom McKitterick and voiced by Kurt Bauccio.

Fox is a member of The Warriors. He is White and wears a white vest underneath his colors, and a gold chain. He also buttons up his vest, unlike most other Warriors members. He is skilled in negotiation and is incredibly street-wise, which is why he is the gang's scout and negotiator. It is possible he is called Fox due to his fast running. We see these running skills when they are chased by a bus by the Turnbull AC's.
He joined The Warriors on July 22, 1978 and earned his colors by going to Chinatown, Manhattan with Vermin and stealing the loan books from The Savage Huns. Both wore T-shirts reading "FUCK U HUNS!". At the meeting, he witnessed Luther shooting Cyrus and was almost shot himself. He also helped Swan negotiate with The Orphans. He was thrown in front of a train by a police officer on the way back from the meeting.
He was played and voiced by Thomas G. Waites.



Mercy is the girlfriend of The Warriors leader Swan, ex-girlfriend of The Orphans leader Sully and possibly a prostitute. She is White and wears a pink top and skirt at most times when she is shown, except when she stole a dark blue jacket to use as a disguise from the police.
She leaves The Orphans for The Warriors when the gangs meet in Tremont after the meeting as she is impressed by their manliness, and Swan in particular. At first, she is just looking for sex but a relationship between her and Swan eventually blossoms. Much about her life and aspirations is shown throughout the film.
She was played and voiced by Deborah Van Valkenburgh.





Luther is the leader of The Rogues and the man responsible for shooting and killing Cyrus, the Gramercy Riffs leader, for which he framed The Warriors. Luther is shown checking in with someone on a pay phone, giving coded updates. It is never made clear if he is in fact the leader of the Rouges or in charge of a detachment, like all the other gangs that have been invited. He is a small man with extremely violent and psychopathic tendencies, and wears a police badge which suggests he may have killed a police officer. He possesses one of the few firearms seen in the film and video game, but is also something of a coward and bully. He killed Cyrus for "No reason - I just like doing stuff like that!". Luther seems to revel in the chaos created by the death of Cyrus, gleefully exclaiming what a good time he is having to his Lieutenant. He doesn't seem to have a personal vendetta against the Warriors per se, but decides they are a good scapegoat for the killing. When he led his gang into Coney Island to fight The Warriors, he was stabbed in the wrist by their leader, Swan, after he tried to shoot him. He is killed by the Riffs after they find out that he killed their leader.
He was played by David Patrick Kelly and is voiced by Oliver Wyman in the game.

Rembrandt is the youngest and least battle-hardened of The Warriors members chosen to attend the meeting, and was only brought along to tag places that the gang had been, as he is their graffiti artist. He is Hispanic (possibly Puerto Rican), sports an afro and carries a messenger bag which he keeps his spray paint in.
He joined The Warriors on April 13, 1979, alongside Ash, and earned his colors by fighting off a number of bums and other Warriors members. After the meeting, he got slashed on the arm by The Lizzies when they lured The Warriors into a trap, even though he was the cautious one who could sense that something wasn't quite right. He proved to be a capable fighter, however, against The Punks and used his paint to spray them in the eyes. He is named after the Dutch painter.
He was played by the late Marcelino Sanchez, and voiced by Andy Senor and Vaneik Echeverria.

Snow, commonly known as Snow, is a member of The Warriors. He is African American, has an afro and, although particularly stoic in the original film, is noticeably boisterous in the video game. He is named Snow because of his ability to remain cool-headed under pressure, and in a deleted scene from the film he is seen carrying a ghetto blaster, suggesting he is a "music man".
He joined The Warriors on June 15, 1978, and he and Ajax fought off a number of other Warriors members to earn their colours. Later that night, their vests were stolen from them by The Destroyers and the pair had to fight their way into Destroyer territory to retrieve them. Snow is a very good fighter and displays some good moves in the subway station when fighting The Punks and also shows strength when fighting The Baseball Furies. He also has good knowledge of other gangs.
He was played by Brian Tyler and voiced by Sekou Campbell.

Swan is The Warriors' Warchief, and later Warlord. He is White and is not very vocal, but still possesses strong fighting and leadership skills.
He joined The Warriors on May 6, 1978, after being noticed by Cleon and Vermin at a King of the Hill competition with Cowboy. Swan was chosen as Cleon's second-in-command before the meeting and took over as leader after Cleon was killed by the Gramercy Riffs. He then led The Warriors back to Coney Island where he was confronted by Luther, the leader of The Rogues. He stabbed Luther in the wrist with a Switchblade as he tried to pull a gun. It is suggested that he leaves the gang life and the city, possibly with Mercy, and gives up his role as Warlord.
He was played and voiced by Michael Beck.



Vermin is a member of The Warriors. He is White and often complains, but is also light-hearted and comical at times.
He co-founded the Warriors with Cleon on April 16, 1978 when the pair left The Destroyers. When returning from the ill-fated meeting, he, Cochise and Rembrandt meet The Lizzies in the subway station and return to their apartment with them, expecting partying and sex. It is a trap, however, as The Lizzies attempt to kill them and the trio narrowly escape. Vermin says some comical phrases such as "hurt me, hurt me!" and "when I got off that subway and I saw you, I thought, oh baby throw it my way!".
He was played by Terry Michos and voiced by Joe Lo Truglio in the video game.
