* AbsurdlyYouthfulMother: Looks very young and when people look at her and Nick it is a case of MumLooksLikeASister. This is justified since [[spoiler:Cherise was pregnant with Nick at thirteen.]]
* AlmightyMom: 'No One' mouths off to Cherise when she's on a tirade, especially if she's talking to someone she feels hurt Nick.
* DotingParent: Though she isn't oblivious to Nick's fault and never spoils him, she always tries to show Nick she loves who he is.
* ProperlyParanoid: Does not trust Kyrian with her son. This is smart since he is a [[TheHunter Daimon Hunter]] and being associated with him is dangerous. [[spoiler:Ironically, it's 'she' who dies in the future. Though Nick isn't doing much better]]. Also ironic is that she acts like a DotingParent to Acheron, who is Kyrian's boss.

* MagneticHero: Many characters comment on his ability to draw people in with his charisma
-->Kody after losing her anger at Nick: ''"He was too carming for his own good."''



* OnlyFriend: Is this to Caleb. Granted it's mainly because Caleb has to be around to protect him, but Nick notices that he only really talks to him and he is usually more open to making jokes when Nick is around to banter with.



* PlayingWithFire: Can light people on fire ''just by thinking it''. The worst part is that he did it because of his anger, which shows his Malachai side is getting stronger.



* {{Badass}}: It's hidden, but when she gets into major fights, she shows of her stuff well.

* FirstGirlWins: The first named woman of the series after Cherise, Nick's mom. It doesn't take them to long to get together either.




to:

* [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]]: She shares this role with Caleb. He gives the more realistic (and pessimistic) advice about situations, but ''during'' the situations she is the most strategic and focused member whereas he and Nick usually engage in CasualDangerDialogue.
* ViolentlyPortectiveGirlfriend: Hurt Nick, and you'll see why she's the prominent ActionGirl of the series.




to:

* TheAce: Is this at his and Nick's school. He's popular, rich, good-looking, MVP level athlete, and drives a CoolCar.
* AloofAlly: Could car less if Nick dies. He only wants his freedom. Though they do become close friends later on.
* {{Animorphism}}: Can turn into a raven. WordOfGod says he can do more, but this is his AnimalMotif.
* {{Badass}}: One of the only characters consistently shown in fights in tis series. He wins most of them though their have been some BadassInDistress moments.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Towards Nick. The few times this is shown, Caleb is empathetic, kind, patient, and full of useful advice.
* BromanticFoil: TheAce Caleb is best friends with the CoolLoser Nick.
* CasualDangerDialogue: He and Nick are guilty of this a lot. Though while Nick tries to [[DeadpanSnarker joke]] his way through situations, Caleb usually tries to maintain a calm and in control attitude.
* HiddenDepth: [[spoiler:Had a wife he was very in love with and fought ''against'' the Malachai in the first war. His current situation and attitude is due to centuries of disappointment after disappointment]].
* LikeBrotherAndSister: To Kody. They don't trust each other much, but they do joke around and talk like to siblings joking on one another.
* [[spoiler:MayflyDecemberRomance: Says he had this in the fourth book. However, it's implied that her death was something other than age.]]
* OnlySaneMan: Shares this role with Kody. He is often less willing to go along with Nick's ideas and is more realistic about situations. Still, there are moments where he is just as willing to LetsGetDangerous as Nick is and that is when Kody jumps in.
* RedOniBlueOni: TheStoic to Nick's HotBlooded.
* TheStoic: Tries very hard to keep a calm demeanor no matter what. It's easy to tell that a situation has truly gone to hell when he starts freaking out.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: Is describe by just about everyone. Howwever this is simply AFormYouAreComfortableWith as his true appearance is...shall we say [[HumanoidAbomination not flattering]].
* WithFriendsLikeThese: Almost bordering on {{frenimies}} given how quick he is to insult Nick. His only motivation for helping Nick [[spoiler:in the beginning]] is because if Nick dies, Caleb will wish he had died with him.

* DisappearedDad: Subverted. Nick mentions that his dad sometimes came home on parole and it always got violent. He knows where his father is, he just wishes that this was the case. [[spoiler:This changes when he dies at the end of the fourth book]].



* LeeroyJenkins: He is a [[DeconstructedTrope deconstruction]] of this. It's not so much that he blatantly jumps into situations, it's just that he is so new to the supernatural world and situations often [[IndyPloy force him to go in guns ablazin]]. As he gets more use to the world and his powers, he starts planning things out and making preparations. It still looks like this to others.

* PowerOfFriendship: He always trusts in his friends. It has gotten him in trouble many times and many people have remarked how naïve his mentality is in [[CrapsackWorld this world]]. Still, it has gotten him many allies and saved his life just as much if not more than it has threatened his life.

* PowerOfTrust: In book five, when learning the tragic story of new member Zavid, Kody mentions that all Malachai have an ability to instinctively know the inner heart and pain of people. Every Malachai has used it to harm and manipulate others. [[NiceGuy Nick]] uses it to empathize with people and trust them with his life

* BattleCouple: Him and Kody.



* PersonOfMassDestruction: The series isn't even half way over, but his fire powers have helped him reach this level quickly.
* PintsizedPowerhouse: Zigzagged. He's actually six foot four, but due to the fact that most of his enemies are supernatural shape-shifters, his size doesn't really matter to them. That doesn't mean he doesn't continue to give said creatures powerful beat downs.
[[ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything Demon Who Does Nothing]]: Whenever he's not battling supernatural catastrophes he is more than happy to act like the unassuming squire rather than cause mischief.
