* BadPowersGoodPeople: He is a very powerful vampire that sometimes drinks his wife's blood dry and the founder of the Assassin's Guild, but he used his powers only for good, even the guild originally before he retired was meant to put down evil people. After retirement (mostly in Accent Core story-line) he guides and advises other characters.

* CulturedBadass: For bonus points, he sounds like Creator/SeanConnery in the English dub of ''Xrd''! He also composes haiku in his spare time and even ad-libs one after performing his Instant Kill.

* AccentAdaptation: Slayer's original Japanese voice has him speak with a very distinct and unique-sounding upper-class nobleman's voice. The English translations from ''Xrd'' onward interpret this as him having [[BraveScot a refined Edinburgh brogue]].

* BraveScot: He's one of the strongest (if not ''the'' strongest) combatants in the Guilty Gear world; and ''-STRIVE-'''s English dub gives him a faint Scottish accent (though he isn't actually Scottish).
* TheCameo: Is referenced by Sol, although not by name when Nagoriyuki shows up. Physically cameos in the ending cutscene of ''Strive'' alongside Sharon.

* GenreMotif: Befitting his status as a long-lived vampire, Slayer's themes are all heavily rooted in the earliest forms of rock & roll, especially blues and jazz, with the most prominent instrument featured being the saxophone.



%%* {{Sexophone}}: Both of his themes, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9X1Ta1jN8E Haven't You Got Eyes In Your Head?]]" from XX and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AATZMR3LgIw Jack-a-Dandy]]" from Xrd, feature a pretty wicked one.

I finally found a good replacement for that Sexophone ZCE from a year ago

Added DiffLines:

* MoodMotif: Almost all of Slayer's signature battle themes are funky but powerful and dynamic saxophone numbers, complimenting his laid-back attitude and concealed true power nicely.

* IWasQuiteALooker: Not that he isn't bad looking now, but ''-STRIVE-'' shows that he was very much a {{Bishonen}} during his rpime when he de-ages himself by drinking the opponent's blood during his new Overdrive, though this is somewhat undercut by the fact that he also gives out a massive PsychoticSmirk as he's preparing to deliver an empowered punch towards his opponent.

* NightmareFace: Once he starts fighting at 100% power his facial expressions become very deranged and unnerving. He also lets out a ''terrifying'' one during his new Overdrive in ''-STRIVE-'', after drinking the opponent's blood de-ages him to his prime.
