Badass Mustache and Badass Beard were merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. Having facial hair is not enough to qualify. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with manliness in some way. Please read the trope description before re-adding to make sure the example qualifies.

--> '''Allard:''' [[http://www.cerberusdailynews.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=31203#p31203 That is our role, as the Paladins of Elanus:]] we come to guard society and pull it onto its feet, not erect it at gunpoint; to heal and aid, not beat and punish; to go beyond factions and politics, and save all those that we can; to carry onward, when the path seems too grim to follow...for we are the Paladins, ''and we shall '''never forget!'''''
* TheCaptain: Aside from leading the Paladins in general, he is also the squad leader of the Paladins' [[FiveManBand 'Hammer']] combat team, and he commands the [[CoolStarship MSV Utherius]], their home base.
* ThemeNaming: Each member of the Hammer combat team has a callsign (each named after medieval equipment) that corresponds to their role. Allard's callsign is [[TheCaptain "Helm"]].
!'''Paroc Didonas (Mexta217)'''
The quiet, inscrutable scout-sniper specialist for the Hammers combat team. Formerly Valrix Trulion of the Hierarchy counter-insurgency unit 'Kexaknus,' a cadre of loyalist extremists, reviled for their brutality and renowned for their effectiveness.
* ColdSniper: Paroc is an excellent sharpshooter, a ruthlessly efficient killer at range. His sniping of numerous Sundowner rebels on Solregit earned him the moniker of "Dusk."
* LawfulNeutral: He was formerly LawfulEvil. Now he's on the fence between the two alignments, though he's leaning towards Neutral.
* LonersAreFreaks
* NotSoStoic: [[http://www.cerberusdailynews.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1344&p=61873#p61873 When Ferrus recited Paroc's personal details right in front of him.]] The turian was ''floored'' by this.
* OminousLatinChanting: Though not technically Latin, Kexaknus' motto: "Terius. Naz Ultan, Naz Heyrit, Naz Ro-Chahk, Naz Kexaknus," conveys a similar sentiment, [[http://www.cerberusdailynews.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1533&p=69389#p69389 especially since they recite it when executing enemies.]]
* TerseTalker: Almost always applies, both in person and on the boards, though he is occasionally prone to moments of eloquence and elaboration, depending on the subject.
* ThemeNaming: Paroc's callsign in the Hammers squad is "Sword."
* TheStoic
* TokenEvilTeammate: He's not outright evil, but he's the most ruthless member of the Hammer team, and he's done some pretty nasty things in the past.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Kexaknus embodies the essence of the trope: loyalists who believe in maintaining the Hierarchy's stability by eliminating separatists and radicals, [[IDidWhatIHadToDo no matter the cost.]] Past-tense in regards to Paroc, as he has since moved on from active extremism with the disbandment of Kexaknus, though he is apparently [[NecessarilyEvil unashamed of his past deeds.]]
* WhiteMaskOfDoom: Has a skull-like tattoo on his face.
