* MightyWhitey: While race relations aren't the same in Laskmeer as in our realm, his story in ''Useless Prince'' still fits; the wealthy son of a nobleman shows up to a group of poor, oppressed revolutionaries (mostly made up of [[FantasticRacism non-human races]]), and within a few days leads them to victory.

Culhut weaponizes this, reasoning that a human of high birth can bring about change better than the rest of them could.

* CelibateHero: He's only been significantly attracted to two people, [[HoYay Hek]] and Clemori. After the latter's death, he doesn't show any interest in sex or romance at all.



* {{Gonk}}: Increasingly as he ages, depending on whose point of view he's being seen from.



* ManChild: Because of a mixture of traumatic events stunting his emotional growth and what's probably autism, he acts like a kid (albeit a PrecociousChild) well into adulthood. He struggles with understanding social nuances and reacts to hardships by shutting down.



!! The Eternal Stew

* CompanionCube: Bru-Nack treats it as a living thing he's responsible for caring for.
* DisneyDeath: Chomole poisons it with bloodfruit extract, but a splash of it got on the Acolyte's shirt beforehand and she's able to restore it.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: It remains unknown if it's truly a stew heated in the hearth of gods at the dawn of creation; or if it's just a 20-year-old parlor trick. Bru-Nack ultimately decides it doesn't matter, ''he's'' going to treat it as sacred.
* ShipOfTheseus: Most likely does not have any of the ingredients it started out with.
* TragicKeepsake: Due to being constantly added to, it serves as one for multiple people; Bru-Nack joins it with the creek soup Hek cooked right before he died in battle (which also had greenspice from his parents' bushels), then later becomes the guardian of the whole pot when Petri dies. It's also the only thing he has from his role with the Yiroites.
* VagueAge: Due to the legend around it being difficult to prove or disprove; it may have been around since the dawn of time, or it may have just been thrown together by Petri before he met Bru-Nack.



* DeathSeeker: Bru-Nack speculates he may be one when he tries to pick a fight.



* JadedWashout: Essentially the fantasy version of a guy who peaked in college.
* KickTheDog: Even after hearing Bru-Nack's life story and realizing he read him entirely wrong, he ''still'' poisons the stew.
* PrettyBoy: Described as pretty or handsome by multiple other characters.



* DudeMagnet: Bru-Nack falls in love with her at first sight and Cahtan builds her up as something of a goddess in his stories.

* ParentalSubstitute: As leader of the clan who takes in Bru-Nack, she reluctantly becomes his.

* EveryoneHasStandards: He hates Bru-Nack, but draws the line at potentially hurting his child.



* FreudianExcuse: As the son of a baker, he had to act as a target for the peasants' discontentment in his hometown. This causes him to view lower classes as dim, crass, and cruel.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Weirdly enough, his snobbery does not extend to animals or children. His best friend at the Inn of the Silver Coin is a [[TeamPet giant rat]].



* AllWomenAreLustful: She plays this up to [[{{Troll}} mess with Bru-Nack]].
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Subverted; if she were with any other male character, ''she'd'' be the tall one. But her husband is about two feet taller, and significantly wider as well.




to:

* TheAlcoholic: Ever since the age of ''seven''; Lak gave him grog to treat the pain from his burns, and he got hooked.
* BeardOfSorrow: His beard in Part 5; it's dusty gray, unkempt, and harboring dandruff.



* CordonBleauChef: How Chomole sees his "anything edible can go in" rule for his stew.
* DisabledBadass: He's a burn victim with crippling gigantacism and only one ear; but he survives extremely harsh conditions and is capable of swift acts of retribution. At the very least, he's good at ''appearing'' badass.
* DrowningMySorrows: For most of his life, he drinks and eats hallucinogenic plants to keep bad memories and physical pain at bay. It becomes ten times worse after Clemori dies in childbirth.
* FunctionalAddict: Justified; due to his immense size, it takes a lot of ale to actually get him drunk. Though not for lack of trying. He chases any and every high he can find, but it rarely affects his ability to function in life.
* GeniusDitz: He's slow on the uptake and mispronounces words (also completely butchers the Goblin tongue), but he's a voracious reader with an encyclopedic knowledge of myth and culinary facts.



* HiddenDepths: In Lak and Chomole's POV chapters, he comes across as a moron; but in his own, it's shown that he thinks deeply about literature, religion, and ethics.

to:

* HeroicRedhead: When he was a child, he had bright orange hair. This extends to his beard, which later turns grey-and-white.
* HiddenDepths: In Lak and Chomole's POV chapters, he comes across as a moron; but in his own, it's shown that he thinks deeply about literature, religion, and ethics. He also picks up a little more on social cues than others expect, he's just slow on the uptake until after conversations are had.




to:

* InsufferableImbecile: How Chomole reads his [[{{Malaproper}} "Bru-Nackisms"]].
* LethalChef: Chomole thinks he's one, but nobody else seems to agree.
* {{Malaproper}}: Because he reads a lot but spent most of his childhood speaking broken Goblin, he mispronounces a lot of big words. Mosspelt and Chomole find it annoying, while his wife Clemori thinks his "Bru-Nackisms" are adorable.
* StoppedCaring: After Clemori's death, the only thing he doesn't have this attitude toward is his stew. He's completely forgone self-care and forming relationships beyond pleasantries.
