It can't be a Lethal Joke Character unless it's a Joke Character to begin with. The riptides serve a purpose of inflicting significant damage to the door, so they can't be a Joke Character.

* TheStationsOfTheCanon: Several characters retain defining features from their canonical counterparts, either regarding their backstory or ongoing relationships. The Archer is an [[TheAtoner atoner]] seeking to find peace after thinking he killed his brother, The Viking and Shieldmaiden are a [[BadassFamily father-daughter team]], The Alchemist, Soldier, and Reaper all have personal history with each other, etc.

* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Similar to The Gunslinger, he doesn't have any personal history with anyone involved in their mission, and is simply a wandering mercenary for hire.

'''The Archer''': If he breaks his word, he has made some powerful enemies.
