* BoomHeadshot: In Case 42, she [[spoiler:was found dead in her cell with a PrettyLittleHeadshots]].
* LadyDrunk: She gets completely plastered on champagne.
* TheMole: Chief Ripley was revealed to have been attempting to turn her into one for SOMBRA. [[spoiler: The Bureau learns this only after Lavinia dies, and it leads Ripley to be a suspect for Lavinia's death. It also causes a great deal of friction between Ripley and Ingrid.]]
* NonIdleRich: Invoked, she states she smuggles diamonds simply because she's bored to tears with the high life.
* PrettyLittleHeadshots: [[spoiler: Justified. Angela is not only well trained with firearms and could get a clean shot easily (assisted by the fact that Lavinia trusted her), but she had the opportunity to mostly clean up before the player and Michelle arrived.]]
* RichBitch: Is she ever.
--> '''Lavinia:''' What dreams these peasants harbor.
* RichInDollarsPoorInSense: Like so many other criminals, leaves clues at the crime scene, and literally thinks she can outwit SOMBRA simply because she's rich.
* SexForSolace: With [[spoiler: Jack, since he was grieving over breaking up with Asal.]]
* SheKnowsTooMuch: [[spoiler: She gets offed before she can reveal the identity of the SOMBRA mole.]]

* WoundedGazelleGambit: Tries to play off that she's a victim, and that SOMBRA is after her.

----

* EnemyCivilWar: He was staging a mutiny against SOMBRA.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: It takes some skill to knife someone in the heart from a distance. Clues show he'd been practicing for a long time.

!!Joel Heller
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jhellerworldedition.png]]
A SOMBRA agent who infiltrated the [[SerialNumbersFiledOff Unified Nations]]. He fakes an attack on Jack, in order to assassinate Nillo Virtanen with a remote-controlled rifle, hoping that the murder will be blamed on the [=USNay=] movement.

* TheAce: He's an extremely capable agent, and a masterful liar. Clearly, one of the brightest agents SOMBRA has. Also, extremely capable with tech and weapons both.
* GeniusBruiser: He can pull of a masterful plan and make it look like nothing, and he's capable with weapons.
* KickTheDog: His plan was just to kill Virtanen, but he also shoots Jack to stir up public outrage, then taunts the Bureau saying that he wouldn't have been shot if they'd just stayed out of the Unified Nations' affairs.
* MyDeathIsJustTheBeginning: This was his plan for Virtanen's death.

* HeroKiller: [[spoiler:She shoots Dupont as he's trying to protect Jack from her, and it later kills him.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: In the case where [[spoiler:she kidnaps the President]], ''everything'' about it is played seriously. She's also [[spoiler:the only SOMBRA member besides El Rey to successfully kill off a main character.]]
