* BerserkButton: He tends to become very cross with anyone who manipulates him or keeps too many secrets from him, even if they have good intentions. This is implied to be because of his own betrayal of Steve.



* PermaStubble: Unlike his older VX town guard face art, his current face art is unshaven to emphasize his sloppiness.



* IHaveNoSon: [[spoiler:He disowns his father, who turns out to be the Old One and nowhere near as benevolent as he thought.]]



* JerkWithAHeartOfGold[=/=]JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Zigzagged. He seems to be the former in the first part of the game by constantly bickering with Anebriate while reconciling with him before the battle with Steve. [[spoiler:Then this turns out to be a ruse to manipulate Anebriate into distracting the Save Council, giving him an opening to kill them. He swings back to having a heart of gold when it turns out that he only did this because he believed Anebriate was the only one capable of saving both realms from the Old One.]]

Unsurprisingly, many choices will give you points with Emma at the cost of Palmer's affection, and vice versa.

* AGodIAmNot: [[spoiler:He disagrees with the Old One's belief that he too is a god.]]



* PersonalityPowers: As a selfish Paladin Deluxe, Anebriate is a OneManArmy with few healing or support abilities. After he gets amnesia and becomes more altruistic, he never regains his full powers (unless you farm stat potions), but his new moveset is better for healing and supporting his party.



* BonusBoss: [[spoiler:If you choose not to side with him, he and the Red Lion will fight you after you find Theodore's journal.]]



* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:He secretly teleports Albert to a dungeon containing a dangerous mutant out of fear that HeKnowsTooMuch about the Old One. Not to mention that he's willing to injure civilians during his firework stunt in order to distract Groobs. These two acts could potentially be the last straw for both Anebriate and the player.]]

*HuskyRusskie: Invoked, while the Chinese in the context of Maine aren't exactly a [[FantasyCounterpartCulture cultural analogue]] to Russia, they still have their accents, and it is repeatedly emphasized that Karla is one of the toughest and most fearless people around.
*MeeknessIsWeakness: Firmly believes in this [[spoiler: which seems to lead to her depression in the sequel due to her inability to address her own emotions]]
*StoneWall: Her role in combat, at least on the physical side of things.
*SuperToughness: Often described as such ingame, while she does have relative high [=DEF=] her [=HP=] [[GameplayAndStorySegregation is somewhat below average]] luckily she possesses a variety of skills that further bolster her [=DEF=] as well as reflect physical damage back to those who attack her.
*TrainingFromHell: She explains her morning workout routine as running up and down the slopes of China, then weight lifting boulders and crushing them between her shoulder blades.
* WorldsStrongestWoman: Ingame item descriptions and the [[http://www.drunkenpaladin.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=29 official character guide]] don't shy away from describing her as physically resilient Badass.
