Added DiffLines:

* PragmaticVillain: More than once they spared victims for pragmatic reasons:
** When they conquer a world they refrain from turning into Coolflames large parts of the population, partly to maintain a breeding population that can be drained piecemeal eternally (and provide new Coolflames when the others have died off) and partly so they can be used as slave labor that requires more skills than the Coolflames have.
*** They kept a larger-than-usual number of Xerbians free because they had recognized Xadhoom as a Xerbian and they could use them as hostages if she tracked down their PlanetSpaceship. They also intended to turn them all in Coolflames as soon as Xadhoom was dealt with.
*** When they discover Earthlings are so emotionally rich most aren't fully turned after one Evrongun shot they make a point of not finishing the job so they can be drained later.
** Often the Evronians spare capable enemies or criminals so they can be used later. Their known numbers include the two members of Xerba's Council that could unlock the planet's energy sources, Xerba's greatest scientists, and Trauma, among others.


Added DiffLines:

* MeaningfulRename: He wasn't originally called Trauma, but assumed the name after becoming a SuperSoldier because he had realized just how terrifying he had become


Added DiffLines:

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: He took the name Trauma after becoming a SuperSoldier, and we never learn how he was previously called.
