[[folder:Warlord Vadin]]
* ActionDad
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority : He's not a king. He's a warlord.
* BigBad : Willing to destroy the world to get what he wants
* EvilOverlord
* AFatherToHisMen : It's more because he knows the value of loyalty than actual caring, but he is a BenevolentBoss toward his soldiers
* FauxAffablyEvil : Though he actually does respect King Robert, and it's possible some of his later friendly behavior toward Robert is a result of knowing Robert protected Samet.
* ForTheEvulz : His torture of Ethan is actually to power up an artifact, though it's hinted this is also a factor.
* KickTheDog : Vadin is utterly brutal to Ethan, torturing him physically and psychologically in addition to raping him.
* OffingTheOffspring : Averted. Vadin would rather die than hurt his son. When he thinks he has killed Samet, he has a VillainousBreakdown
* PapaWolf : An odd version because he's well aware Samet can take care of himself, but he's still protective of Samet and backhands someone for insulting his son
* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans : Part of the motive for his actions seems to be that he thinks the world would be a lot better off with Samet ruling it.
[[/folder]]

* TheConsigliere : His official role to King Robert
* TheGoodChancellor
* NoHarmRequirement : Being a Prelate means he's forbidden weapons or to engage in violence. However, it's also against the rules to harm Prelates
* OldFriend : He and Robert have known each other since childhood and are almost like brothers at times.
* ParentalAbandonment : Played straight and averted. He's forbidden from actually being a father to his son, but figures out how to take a third option by having Sir Vincent brought into Robert's household.
* SoProudOfYou : Despite the laws forbidding him from openly parenting his son, he is clearly a good father and takes pride in Sir Vincent.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Sir Vincent]]

* OddFriendship : Samet seems to appreciate that Sir Vincent hates him for actual reasons rather than just because Samet is a sorcerer.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Princess Sarah]]

* DamselInDistress
* LadyAndKnight
* MarryForLove : The man she wants to marry is a landless bastard
* PrincessClassic
* ProperLady
* RescueRomance : Though from the sounds of it, she rescued Sir Vincent as often as he rescued her.

[[folder:Margaret]]
* BrainyBrunette

* BadassBoast : Samet knows exactly how powerful he is
* BadassBookworm
* BadassGay : He's fairly open about being bisexual and the only reason he bothers to conceal his relationship with Ethan is for Ethan's sake.
* BadassInDistress
* BadPowersGoodPeople :
* BeingGoodSucks : [[spoiler: He gets tortured, stabbed, and has to cut off his own hand because he chose to do the right thing]]
* BroughtDownToNormal : Take away his magic, and he's pretty close to helpless. Though he's still a very clever man with a penchant for alchemy
* ClaimedByTheSupernatural : He is a sorcerer, and thus according to the lore of the world he is destined for hell. Whether this is actually true is unknown.
* CursedWithAwesome
* DarkIsNotEvil : How dark he may be is debatable.
* DeadpanSnarker : He occasionally has a problem knowing when to shut up
* EldritchAbomination : He's often treated as this by people who know he is a sorcerer
* GoThroughMe
* GoodSamaritan : Pays urchins to do menial tasks just to make sure they have coin, even heals one from a life-threatening injury.
* GoodIsNotSoft : His go to way of dealing with his enemies involves a lot of KillItWithFire
* GrandRomanticGesture : For a sorcerer, [[spoiler: it's hard to beat trusting someone with your truename]]
* HeroicResolve : [[spoiler: When his hand gets cut off, he's not the one that flinches]]
* IAmNotMyFather
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy : Is willing to make his relationship with Ethan polyamorous if that is what Ethan wants, as well as to let Ethan take up a dominate role even though Samet wouldn't enjoy either.
* LetsWaitAwhile : Though he is clearly attracted to Ethan very early, he waits until he's damn sure Ethan is actually consenting, even rejecting Ethan's first moves a couple times because he doesn't think Ethan is in his right mind.
* LimaSyndrome : Has shades of this toward Ethan.
* Nice Guy
* NonActionGuy : He could have saved himself a lot of pain if he'd ever learned which end of a sword to hold instead of relying entirely on his magic
* MadScientist : Has this trait, often played for laughs
* PowerOfTrust : The fact that he trusts Ethan unconditionally quite probably saved the world.
* PropertyOfLove : Despite being the 'master' in their relationship, [[spoiler: he has this to Ethan because Ethan knows his true name]]

[[/folder]]


[[folder:Ethan]]
* BadassNormal
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe : Becomes actually attracted to Samet when Samet spares Sir Vincent at Ethan's request.
* BodyguardingABadass : Acts at Samet's bodyguard despite Samet being without question the most powerful man in the world.
* BreakTheCutie : Vadin broke him. Samet put him back together.
* BrokenBird
* ConditionedToAcceptHorror : After what he went through with Vadin, traveling through the beyond and hell itself don't really bother him that much
* DeclarationOfProtection : Gives this to Samet.
--> Hell can’t have you, master. I won’t let it.
* FriendlyFireproof : Samet is a creature of fire, and he loves Ethan. Thus Ethan can walk through an inferno or hell itself and not get singed
* GoThroughMe : Does this for Samet a few times, though Samet does occasionally make him stand down.
* HappinessInSlavery : Though by the time he's happy, it's rather questionable to call him a slave even if he does still address Samet as 'master' on occasion
* HatesBeingTouched : Not necessarily hates, but if you touch him when he isn't expecting it or he's having a PTSD episode he tends to lash out violently.
* KnifeNut

* LadyAndKnight : Samet is a guy, but Ethan still acts as his knight in many ways. When they aren't being a full on BattleCouple

* ParentalSubstitute : Technically an orphan. His mother died in childbirth, but there was sufficient age difference between him and his older brother Robert that Robert and Tabitha simply stepped up as his parents.
* PropertyOfLove : Both played straight and averted. [[spoiler: He calls Samet master, but he knows Samet's truename, thus the actual power in the relationship lies with him]]
* RapeAndSwitch : Somewhat averted. He's not gay despite being with Samet.
* ScarpiaUltimatum : Vadin gave him one
