* GoodParents: While Christy has her doubts with raising Aphra, she still tried to be a good mother to her. [[spoiler: However, she ultimately meant nothing to Aphra, just because she considered sending her back to the orphanage.]]

* ForTheEvulz: Differently from the killers in the previous seasons, the Gentleman has no past trauma to explain their murderous tendencies.



* TheSociopath: Differently from the killers in the previous seasons, the Gentleman has no past trauma to explain their murderous tendencies. [[spoiler: Not only Trinh was able to hide her true nature behind a MaskOfSanity, but she had already murdered someone by the time she was hired by Spencer.]]

Ambiguous Disorder is not a trope anymore, but a redirect to a YMMV entry.


* AmbiguousDisorder: Vincent has ''something'' off about him. He's got DullSurprise so much that even other characters comment on it, has a hell of a temper, and he was shown to engage in some very questionable acts, most notably [[spoiler: trying to burn Liv alive as a child. He even commits a murder on-camera, being the Gentleman themself, and tries to kill Theo out of spite]]. According to some not-so-reliable sources, he also [[spoiler: committed a murder during a riot, but he denies this one.]]

* {{Sadist}}: The Gentleman is fond of subjecting their victims to long and elaborated deaths when possible. [[spoiler: For example, there is no other motivation for prolonging Merle's suffering, since Trinh only needs his body to fake her death.]]

Added DiffLines:

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Spencer genuinely loved Annette with all his heart, and his last hallucination as he lay dying was of her.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Spencer may have been an awful, amoral patriarch who puts his family through sadistic exercises to test their mettle and encourages ChronicBackstabbingDisorder and family infighting, but even he thinks it was "pathetic" of Florence to [[spoiler:exploit Vincent's disappearance for money and walks out on her in disgust.]]
* MisplacedRetribution: [[spoiler: As much as the Gentleman claims that Spencer hired them to "weed out the weak", it is implied that this was much more personal against Grace, as it's presumed that they revealed to him that she murdered his beloved Annette for his money, and he set up one last game for his inheritance just to make her suffer, not caring if his descendants had nothing to do with it.]]
* OffingTheOffspring: [[spoiler: It turns out that Spencer hired Dr. Trinh to become the Gentleman to ''kill his children and grandchildren'' to "weed out weakness".]]
* ThePatriarch: Spencer, who's mostly a PosthumousCharacter but the driving force behind the story and characters and appears in every episode thus far through flashbacks even after his death in the pilot.
* TorsoWithAView: [[spoiler: The Gentleman injects acid in Spencer's IV, which corrodes his heart and the area surrounding it, including the ribs and the skin.]]


Added DiffLines:

* GoodParents: Annette Galloway was this to her children, and she was also the one who kept her husband Spencer in line. [[spoiler: Her death kick-started the downward spiral into backstabbing insanity.]]
* MoralityChain: She was this to the entire Galloway family, in her own words keeping the family and the conglomerate together and keeping Spencer in check during their entire marriage. [[spoiler: After Grace murdered her, the entire family took a turn for the worse.]]
* TokenGoodTeammate: Annette is one of the only two characters who are genuinely nice and have no dirt of their past. In Annette's case, she is the linchpin for the entire family and keeps her husband's dark side in check.
* YankTheDogsChain: Annette Galloway really didn't have it good. [[spoiler: Just as she started to beat her cancer, her {{gold digg|er}}ing nurse murdered her to get to her husband.]]


Added DiffLines:

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Grace cared for the cancer-stricken Annette and acted as her confidante. [[spoiler: She then proceeded to begin seducing Spencer, and then killed Annette to marry him, and thus gain access to the Galloway fortune.]]
* GoldDigger: Florence accuses Grace of being this. [[spoiler: She was right. Grace seduced Spencer Galloway while she was treating his cancer-stricken wife Annette. Grace then killed Annette so that she could marry Spencer and get access to his family fortune.]]
* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler: Grace murdered the cancer-stricken but recovering Annette to gain access to the Galloway fortune. As Annette was the MoralityChain to the entire family, this is what led to Spencer's dark turn, and eventually to his murderous SocialDarwinist beliefs.]]
* AMoltenDateWithDeath: A variant. [[spoiler:Grace is killed when the Gentleman pours molten gold down her throat.]]
* PetTheDog: Grace is not the friendliest person, and her DayInTheLimelight [[spoiler: shows that she's also directly caused all of the Galloways' dysfunction]]. However, she genuinely loves her son, and also genuinely cares about some of the other people on the island, most notably Christy. [[spoiler: She's horrified when she helplessly watches her son get torn apart limb by limb, and really tries to help Christy after she was mauled by Aphra. She's distraught to put a bullet in the latter's brain as a MercyKill.]]


Added DiffLines:

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:When the Gentleman is chasing a few of the family members in the woods, they almost catches Grace, but Jayden rams into the killer and knocks them to the floor. Sadly, this leads to Jayden being captured and executed instead.]]


Added DiffLines:

* DecoyProtagonist: Seamus gets most of the focus, [[spoiler: before dying at the end of episode three]].
* GoodParents: Despite his other flaws, Seamus is a loving father to Aphra and disregards her obvious psychological issues to try and raise her right.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoiler:Right after going through a huge HeelRealization hearing his wife confide to O'Keeffe about how much she really loves him, money or no money. But he's killed with a fire poker to the eye right after.]]
* MoralityChain: [[spoiler: According to Aphra, Seamus was the only person that ever truly loved her. His death eventually causes her to spiral into murderous insanity.]]
* PsychologicalProjection: Seamus is a self-centered asshole who is willing to do whatever it takes to get ahead of the game, and to win the inheritance. He assumes his wife Christy is the same way, much to her horror, and he doesn't believe her when she claims that [[NotWithThemForTheMoney she genuinely loves him and doesn't care about the money]]. He finally realizes how wrong he was when he eavesdrops on her conversation with O'Keeffe where she not only reiterates her claim but confirms that she will not give up on him yet.


Added DiffLines:

* GoodParents: While Christy has her doubts with raising Aphra, she still tried to be a good mother to her. [[spoiler: However, she ultimately meant nothing to Aphra, just because she considered sending her back to the orphanage.]]
* TheHeart: Christy is the nicest person in the cast. While even she gets gruff with the others under the stress of being a mom, surviving the killer, and trying to hold her family together, she tries her best. [[spoiler: The surviving characters are ''devastated'' when they see her after Aphra bit off most of her face and some fingers, and when Grace granted her a MercyKill, they are all left in tears.]]
* InnocentBystander: Christy, along with Birgit, was never meant to take part of the inheritance game but is still targeted like the rest of the family. Unlike the not-so-innocent Birgit, Christy deserves nothing of what happened to her.
* MercyKill: [[spoiler:After getting her face and one of her fingers eaten off by Aphra, Christy begs the remaining family members to kill her. Grace reluctantly obliges.]]
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Christy voluntarily adopted a little girl with some psychological problems, and chose to endure a painful family reunion, all because she loved her husband dearly. [[spoiler: She is then forced to witness extensive violence on the island, loses her beloved husband, and ultimately suffers a horrible fate herself when her "daughter" reveals her [[TheFakeCutie true nature]] and mauls her, biting her face and some of her fingers off, leaving Christy a bloodied mess who can only quietly beg for a MercyKill.]]
* OnlySaneWoman: She's the only one in the whole family who doesn't care about the inheritance, and just wants to help the Galloways survive against the killer.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Christy is one of the only two characters who are genuinely nice and have no dirt in their past. In her case, she wants nothing more than a stable family with her husband and adopted daughter.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Christy confides to O'Keefe about her marriage to Seamus, and [[NotWithThemForTheMoney how she truly loves him, money or no money]]. Unknown to her, Seamus overhears this... and it triggers a massive HeelRealization for him. [[spoiler: Not that it saves him in the end.]]


Added DiffLines:

* BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler: Aphra]] claims this, telling [[spoiler: Christy that the video on her phone where she brags about having fooled her adoptive parents was an old one from before she came to care about them. It seems at least half true, as Aphra genuinely loved her adoptive father Seamus, and in the present, is shown accepting affection and care from Christy.]]
* CreepyChild: She has the eating disorder Pica, causing her to try and eat things that are at best non-nutritive or at worst, outright toxic. And she's also shown watching Merle and Grace have sex with a creepy smile on her face. [[spoiler:Subverted, in that she's not actually a child.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Aphra really did love her adoptive father figure Seamus, so much that [[spoiler: his death sent her into a downward insanity spiral.]]
* HalfTheWomanSheUsedToBe: [[spoiler: She gets tied between two trees, and sliced in half with a large, serrated knife by the Gentleman.]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:Aphra is actually an adult who manipulated her way into Seamus and Christy's family, a twist clearly inspired by the real-life cases of Natalia Grace Barnett and Frédéric Bourdin.]]
* PetTheDog: Aphra is clearly closer with Seamus than with Christy, but in most of the episodes [[spoiler:before she falls off the deep end]], she is shown accepting care and affection from her. If anything, she probably did develop ''some'' fondness for her, [[spoiler:but her insanity following her MoralityChain Seamus's death shattered it completely.]]
* PsychopathicWomanchild: [[spoiler:Aphra, who despite her appearance, is ''not'' 13, and is actually an adult. Many parts of her childishness are an obvious act, but she does still suffer from pica and [[IJustWantToBeLoved wants desperately to be loved by a father figure]]. The "psychopathic" part comes in when her pica gives her an appetite for raw human flesh. She also tortures Florence and manipulates her adoptive parents.]]


Added DiffLines:

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Florence genuinely loved her mother and [[spoiler: was ProperlyParanoid that her stepmother was little more than a GoldDigger]].
* HateSink: Florence has ''no'' redeeming qualities. She has a shrill, screeching voice, is a pretentious performance artist, is classist, racist, and a cold-blooded murderer by episode three. [[spoiler: She gets even ''worse'' when it's revealed that she exploited her own son's disappearance for money, ''and'' lets her own child die by nerve gas... for a chance to win the inheritance.]]
* OffingTheOffspring: [[spoiler: Florence and her child O'Keeffe are trapped in the bunker with nerve gas filling up the area, and only one oxygen mask. As it runs out, Florence deliberately doesn't allow O'Keeffe to have the oxygen, and they die begging for Florence to save them.]]
* PetTheDog: It would be more accurate to describe Florence as a {{Narcissist}} than an outright {{Sociopath}}. She ''does'' love her family behind all the sniping, [[ItsAllAboutMe she just loves herself more.]] [[spoiler:She genuinely does try to save O'Keeffe when they're both trapped in the gas bunker, and only lets them die when it becomes clear to both that only one of them can live.]]
* PsychopathicWomanchild: Florence, who might be better categorized as a narcissist than a psychopath, but all the same is violently petulant and entitled. [[spoiler:She graduates to fully psychopathic pretty quickly, when she kills Persephone by throwing her into a woodchipper and shoots one of Grace's eyes with a rubber bullet as retaliation for biting off her finger]].
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Florence gets a moment with O'Keeffe where [[spoiler:they're trapped in a bunker filled with nerve gas with only one mask. They try to share it with each other, but then Florence sees that the air tank is draining too quickly, and it won't be possible for both to survive. Seems like a prime opportunity to redeem herself by performing a HeroicSacrifice to save her child, right? Instead, [[OffingTheOffspring she does the unthinkable.]]]]


Added DiffLines:

* NeckSnap: [[spoiler:Liv kills Theodore this way after she finds out he crashed his car into a daycare center and presumably killed numerous children while drunk.]]
* SelfMadeOrphan: Theodore sees his role in [[spoiler:Florence's]] death as this, as [[spoiler:he was fully convinced she was the killer and trapped her outside to try and get her to come to her senses, only to be proven horribly wrong.]] Liv assures him that the Gentleman killed [[spoiler:Florence]], not him.


Added DiffLines:

* AmbiguousDisorder: Vincent has ''something'' off about him. He's got DullSurprise so much that even other characters comment on it, has a hell of a temper, and he was shown to engage in some very questionable acts, most notably [[spoiler: trying to burn Liv alive as a child. He even commits a murder on-camera, being the Gentleman themself, and tries to kill Theo out of spite]]. According to some not-so-reliable sources, he also [[spoiler: committed a murder during a riot, but he denies this one.]]
* OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler:Theodore slices Vincent's head off at the jaw with a garret wire.]]
* PetTheDog: Vincent is the most openly abrasive Galloway and is quite hostile to everyone else. But when Christy takes his gun from him, he gives her tips on the safety and wishes her good luck. [[spoiler:And even he's horrified to see Christy after her mauling by Aphra, and subsequent MercyKill at Grace's hands.]]


Added DiffLines:

* ActionGirl: Liv is the first girl to kick some serious ass, and it's justified, as she's a military girl. She successfully fights off the killer and easily wins in a fight over Vincent, who's got several inches on her. [[spoiler: She also ultimately survives the series and is the one to get the inheritance.]]
* FemalesAreMoreInnocent: Liv certainly thinks so, despite numerous Galloway women proving otherwise [[spoiler: (Florence, Grace, Aphra, and Dr. Trinh)]]. [[spoiler: She's happy that her unborn baby is a girl, because she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to handle a child that happens to look like any of the male family members. Then again, they're still both Galloways...]]
* OnlyKnownByHerNickname: Liv's actual name is Livinia, but she's rarely, if ever, called by her full first name.


Added DiffLines:

* InnocentBystander: While Birgit isn't innocent, [[spoiler:since she took part in Vincent's kidnapping]], she was never meant to take part to the inheritance game but is still targeted like the rest of the family.


Added DiffLines:

* MeaningfulName: Persephone was the Goddess of the Underworld in Greek mythology and "Trinh" means maiden in Vietnamese, which was one of Persephone's titles. It really suits a doctor specialized in assisted suicide.


Added DiffLines:

* InnocentBystander: Merle has nothing to do with the family beyond being a boating man and a helping hand around the house, but he's the first one murdered by the Gentleman. [[spoiler: This was because Trinh wanted to use his body to fake her death, so that she could kill without anyone figuring her out.]]


Added DiffLines:

* AxCrazy: The Gentleman is shown sadistically enjoying the kills. [[spoiler: Flashbacks reveal that she was always this sick, using a device to crush a man's head with a huge smile on her face.]]
* BaitTheDog: Episode 6 ends with [[spoiler:Aphra encountering the Gentleman right after she viciously mauled her adoptive mother. Contrary to their usual MO, they take Aphra's hand and leads her into the woods, implying that they're allowing her to help them kill the rest of the Galloway family. Nope, in the first minutes of the next episode, they tie her between two trees and saws her in half.]]
* BigBad: The Gentleman is responsible for the deaths in the show and causing the numerous problems they face. [[spoiler: Becomes a BigBadDuumvirate when it's revealed that Spencer hired Trinh to be the Gentleman to weed out the weakness in the family, even though it's slightly subverted when she also murders him to absolve himself before starting the job and denied his request that she do it painlessly.]]
* DiscOneFinalBoss: The Gentleman is revealed to be [[spoiler: Dr. Trinh]] in the penultimate episode. [[spoiler: She is defeated at the end and is killed at the beginning of the finale, leaving only the three survivors and their conflict between each other over the inheritance to carry the rest of the season.]]
* EvilIsHammy: After the Gentleman's identity is revealed, the actor doesn't waste any time at all in ChewingTheScenery. [[spoiler: Jeananne Goossen was clearly enjoying her screen time as the unmasked killer.]]
* EvilIsNotAToy: [[spoiler: Spencer blackmailed Trinh to assist him in a painless suicide, and to kill the people competing for his fortune to get rid of the "weak ones". Trinh retaliates by betraying Spencer, killing him in an ''horrifically'' painful way.]]
* SamusIsAGirl: [[spoiler: The Gentleman turns out to be the very female Trinh.]]
* WouldHurtAChild: The Gentleman has no qualms about going after Aphra. [[spoiler:Though given that the finale reveals that Spencer and Trinh had dirt on every member of the family, it's likely they knew that Aphra wasn't actually a child.]]
