* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Most of ''Conviction''. "Blacklist" takes it UpToEleven due to Victor Coste being injured in the Guam attack.
* RogueAgent: During ''Conviction''.

* StrangerInAFamiliarLand: The reason he continues to work as a StealthExpert in ''Blacklist'' despite his disillusionment after Conviction , first as a member of Paladin Nine Security, and then as the commander of Fourth Echelon, is because he is too bored with civilian life to leave the military behind.
