* BerserkButton: Cacogens. [[spoiler: He was essentially groomed as a messiah by them, but because they experience time in reverse, they got progressively less helpful and knowledgeable as time went on, leading to Baldanders thinking they are intentionally abandoning him. He flies into a rage when he sees them in the audience of his final play, and his interactions with them later lead him to try to kill Severian, whom they favor.]]

* JustFollowingOrders: This is Severian’s justification for what his guild does; they do exactly as the judges and officials request and nothing more or less, so can they really be blamed?

* PetTheDog: While morally ambiguous, Severian is truly trying to be a better person, as seen with him helping to free the Green Man, curing the sick in Thrax, or [[spoiler: taking in Little Severian when an Alzabo kills the boy’s family.]]
Added DiffLines:
* HiddenDepths: Not of the good kind either. [[spoiler: Her ability to accept Severian despite his being a torturer is because she herself (as with many young Exultants) had tortured the prisoners of the House Absolute for entertainment, giving her no room to judge Severian or his Guild’s “just following orders” excuse.]]
