Character Relationships in The Vault

Thom (played by Freddie Highmore) is a protagonist in The Vault. A brilliant Cambridge engineering student who declines lucrative oil industry offers. He joins Walter's heist team to breach the Bank of Spain vault. Using his technical expertise, he devises a plan to freeze the vault's pressure scale with liquid nitrogen, enabling the retrieval of the Drake coins before escaping with Lorraine. Lorraine (played by Àstrid Bergès-Frisbey) is a protagonist in The Vault. A skilled con artist recruited by Walter for the heist. She infiltrates the Bank of Spain vault alongside Thom and James to retrieve the treasure map coins. After James betrays them and the vault floods, she escapes alongside Thom, successfully evading bank security. Gustavo (played by Jose Coronado) appears in The Vault. The head of bank security at the Bank of Spain. After Klaus's earlier cyber intrusion, Gustavo regains system control and dispatches an armed strike team to arrest the intruders, escalating the tension during the heist. Walter (played by Liam Cunningham) appears in The Vault. Head of a salvaging company that originally recovered the treasure of Guadalupe before it was seized by the Spanish government. He assembles the heist crew, leverages Thom's engineering skills to bypass the vault's scale, and ultimately keeps the original coins while delivering fakes to the British government. Thom's Father (played by James Giblin) appears in The Vault. James (played by Sam Riley) appears in The Vault. Walter's veteran treasure-hunting partner who joins the vault infiltration. When security closes in, he pulls a gun on Thom, demands the coins, and reveals his allegiance to the British government. He abandons the group when the vault locks down, using his diving skills to escape alone. Margaret (played by Famke Janssen) appears in The Vault. An associate of both Walter and James stationed at the British Embassy. She receives the stolen coins from James, only to discover they are replicas while Walter retains the authentic originals, setting up the team's next objective. Klaus (played by Axel Stein) appears in The Vault. The team's computer hacker. He secretly penetrates the bank's security systems days before the heist begins. Although his initial breach is unnoticed, it eventually allows Gustavo to regain control and trigger the security response that traps the intruders inside.
