The table is the whole roster I could parse: base game, Abyssal Terrors, free updates, and Primal Dread. Five base characters start unlocked: Well Rounded, Brawler, Crazy, Ranger, and Mage. Five Abyssal Terrors characters are also default once you own that DLC: Builder, Captain, Creature, Curious, and Sailor.
Danger clears unlock a chain the wiki states as One Armed, Bull, Soldier, Masochist, Knight, then Demon from Danger 0 through Danger 5. Nightmare, after ten Danger 5 wins on different characters or maps, unlocks the mode that then unlocks Wounded.
Names with a link have a build page. Everyone else stays a row. Primal Dread's ten new names are rows with thin fields on purpose. brotato-builds is the only unlock voice I found for them, so I will not promote those lines into the same status as a wiki template.
