* CowardlyLion: He acts the Stout English Yeoman, but actually scares easily. Nonetheless he's capable of great bravery when roused, such as when his friends are in danger.
* DrowningMySorrows: There's nothing like a steak and kidney pie and a few pints of ale down the pub when he's feeling down, as he often does, being the kind to feel sorry for himself when life turns against him.
* LargeHam: One does not work in the theatre without being bombastic as can be.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Litefoot (although as mentioned, in Litefoot's case, the "heterosexual" is open to interpretation).
* ManlyTears: Unlike Litefoot, who sees death every day, Jago does ''not'' cope well with people dying during their adventures, and often cries. Though it may be less "manly tears" than "inelegant blubbing".
* QuintessentialBritishGentleman: Like Litefoot, Jago can be quite the gentleman, although perhaps a bit more brusque. Socially, though, he'd be considered somewhat less of a gentleman, being a theatre impresario of a slightly disreputable establishment. (He'd prefer if you didn't say "burlesque".)
