* FragileSpeedster: As a flying Courier, he's weak and easy to kill, while being a key part of his team's logistics. At the same time, he can fly over unpathable terrain and can temporarily reach the max movespeed in the game. This allows him to fly off past the Dire team in Season 1, distracting them for a crucial few moments and buying time for the Radiant to respawn.

He never once dies during his farming phase, with all attempts to kill him failing, and when the Radiant aren't trying to kill him, they're busy attacking other members of the Dire, giving him plenty of space to flash farm. The end result is a hard carry so massively farmed that only Radiant's own carry, Juggernaut, could ever hope to kill him.

* DeadpanSnarker: His defining character trait. Special mention goes to when Tidehunter claims that he didn't realize he was alive:
-->''"Is the state of being alive a hard concept to grasp!? Uh, check your pulse, yup, still alive!"''
* IconicItem: No matter how long it takes him, he always builds a Blink Dagger.
* {{Jerkass}}: Initially, as he ditches the rest of the Radiant team to find better players to play with, then continues to slander Pudge afterwards when he continues to screw things up. [[TookALevelInKindness Thankfully, he gets better]].
* NotTheIntendedUse: Throughout the series, Midnight Pulse has been more useful to Enigma to clear trees than it has been to deal damage.
* OnlySaneMan: And he's fully aware of this when faced with teammates such as [[KindheartedSimpleton Tidehunter]] and [[ItsAllAboutMe Invoker]].
* StoryBreakerPower: Chances are if his team wins a team fight, it's because Enigma landed a good Black Hole.
* TookALevelInBadass: Started off constantly screwing up his Black Hole, blinking into trees and getting stuck, and overall was just getting thrown around by everyone early on. Come Season 3, and not only does he land almost every Black Hole, he's also learned advanced tactics such as baiting enemies, sending his eidolons to earn him money while he's busy running, and then using more eidolons to [[TakingYouWithMe kill the enemy that killed him moments before]].

!!Nigel
The titular reporter, Nigel has participated in the game as an in-game hero, a shopkeeper, a courier, and eventually one of the players in his adventures to learn the mechanics of DOTA 2.
*ButtMonkey: Of the physical variety mostly, having been hooked by Pudge, smacked by Nature's Prophet, and Counter-Helixed by Axe. However, any of his own deliberate attempts at humor tend to blow up in his face as well.
*DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: Nature's Prophet kills him in Episode 27. However, since he's the Radiant team's courier for that game, he respawns in Episode 29.
*DemotedToExtra: While the earliest episodes focused heavily on him learning the most basic of mechanics, he got gradually less screen time as a courier, and even less as a spectator. He hasn't even appeared at all in a few episodes. However he starts getting more screen time after [[spoiler: Taking control of Phoenix after its original player abandons the game.]]
*HeroicSacrifice: Attempts this in the Season 1 Finale, when he takes off on his jetpack to distract the Dire team from destroying their barracks. Given that he appears again at the end of the episode, he most likely evaded them, but the thought was still there.
*TheKirk: To Enigma's [[TheMccoy McCoy]] and Rubick's [[TheSpock Spock]].
*{{Megane}}
*MrExposition: He has a habit of narrating what certain heroes are doing as it happens on-screen.
*NiceGuy: Very much so. He's been shown countless times to have much more patience and empathy with failing players than most of the other heroes playing do, which is impressive considering the reputation DOTA 2's playerbase has gathered.
*OnceAnEpisode: "Hello and welcome to a new DOTA 2 Report." To the point where Enigma wonders where the hell Nigel is when he ''doesn't'' say it at the start of an episode.
*PhraseCatcher: "You're just gonna have to accept this and move on."
*UnluckyEverydude: He has it rough hanging out with entities such as Enigma and Rubick.
