Arnold Soloman (played by Bruce Willis) is a protagonist in White Elephant.
Arnold Soloman leads an organization involved in a dangerous cash deal with Russian criminals and demands that Luis Velasquez stay out of it. After his wife is murdered by professional shooters, Arnold is devastated and orders retaliation, allowing grief and anger to override caution despite Glen Follett’s likely opposition. Glen Follett (played by John Malkovich) appears in White Elephant.
Glen Follett is Arnold Soloman’s longtime defense attorney and a trusted adviser within Arnold’s organization. He discusses the Russian deal, warns that criminals can be destroyed by their own mistakes, and is expected to oppose Arnold’s revenge-driven decision after the murder of Arnold’s wife. Vanessa Flynn (played by Olga Kurylenko) appears in White Elephant.
Vanessa Flynn is hiding and trying to survive while Arnold Soloman’s organization pressures a corrupt officer to locate her. She seeks information from Walter Koschek about Carlo Garcia, learns that fleeing may not protect her, and ultimately decides to fight back before Arnold’s men find her at a motel. Walter Koschek (played by Michael Rose) appears in White Elephant.
Walter Koschek provides Vanessa Flynn with information about the mysterious local scout sniper she fears. Going beyond the police database, he identifies Carlo Garcia as a highly trained and exceptionally dangerous killer, then warns Vanessa that Carlo is far beyond her experience and that simply running will not keep her safe. Carlo Garcia (played by Vadhir Derbez) appears in White Elephant.
Carlo Garcia is identified by Walter Koschek as a highly trained and exceptionally dangerous killer operating beyond Vanessa Flynn’s experience. He examines the attack on Arnold Soloman’s wife, recognizes the rifle’s criminal associations, and later brings a police officer to Arnold’s fortified home, where they prepare to survive an approaching assault. Luis Velasquez (played by Ski Carr) appears in White Elephant.
Luis Velasquez is a rival or opposing force in Arnold Soloman’s criminal negotiations. Arnold insists that Luis must not interfere with the Russian cash transaction, and a proposed partnership involving him is rejected amid deep distrust. After Arnold’s wife is killed, the weapon used raises suspicion that Luis may be connected or deliberately framed.
