* EvilCounterpart: Compares himself and Bond to 'rats' of the same litter. He used to be an [=MI6=] agent who was close to M, as Bond is, and serves to remind Bond of what he could be if he didn't forgive or trust M for the things she puts him through. Being captured and tortured by the Chinese whilst being sold out by M is exactly what happened to Bond with the North Koreans in ''Film/DieAnotherDay'', but Bond didn't take it personally or allow it to embitter or corrupt him in that film continuity. Their similarities are emphasized by the fact that Silva's real first name, "Tiago" [[MeaningfulName is Spanish for James]] whilst his codename, "Raoul Silva" is an anagram of "[[ShadowArchetype Rival Soul]]," making him a darker version of Bond.

However, M points out if he hadn't gone rogue, she wouldn't have ''had'' to sell him out. Silva may come off as a TragicVillain, but he is also a psychotic monster who is the victim of his own behavior who irrationally engineers a terrorist campaign solely out of petty revenge against one person, and the OffstageVillainy he alludes to is implied to be even worse, funding a decadent lifestyle via crashing financial markets, orchestrating terrorist attacks or causing and faking disasters.

* ComplexityAddiction: His plans, befitting a Bond villain, are far more complicated than they need to be, but wouldn't be nearly as fun to watch otherwise.

* AmbiguousDisorder: Silva displays a lot of traits of Borderline personality disorder. He's prone to volatile mood swings, suicide attempts and vacillates wildly between periods of idealisation and devaluation specifically with regards to M. Although he hates her and wants to kill her, he's still in love with her, hesitates to kill her when given the chance and is hurt upon seeing that she has been wounded. He has a fear of abandonment as demonstrated by the fact that he didn't attempt suicide because he couldn't stand being tortured anymore, but because he realised that M had abandoned him. He manages to sexualise nearly every conversation and situation and even before his FaceHeelTurn engaged in reckless, potentially self-destructive behaviour, as shown by him taking on the Chinese despite being advised not to. All of these traits give him an undeniable similarity to another Hollywood hero-turned-villain diagnosed with BPD, namely Darth Vader.

* EvilCounterpart: Compares himself and Bond to 'rats' of the same litter. He used to be an MI6 agent who was close to M, as Bond is. He serves to remind Bond of what he could be without his moral compass and if he allowed his feelings to control his life. Being captured and tortured by the Chinese whilst being sold out by M is exactly what happened to Bond with the North Koreans in Film/DieAnotherDay but Bond didn't take it personally or allow it to embitter or corrupt him in that film continuity. Their similarities are emphasised by the fact that Silva's real first name, "Tiago" [[MeaningfulName is Spanish for James]] whilst his codename, "Raoul Silva" is an anagram of "[[ShadowArchetype Rival Soul]]".

* TheKlutz: He's actually rather clumsy when it comes to physicality compared to Bond (his method of sliding off a railing is ''belly-flopping off of it''), but all the same, he's ''just good enough'' to prove himself Bond's equal. This is probably the main reason why he finds physical stuff "dull."
