* EatTheDog: In the third book of ''Literature/TheDarkElfTrilogy'', he spends much of the book with a strong urge to eat Roddy [=McGristle's=] dog. By the novel's end, he does end up cutting off one of its legs, which he then cooks and eats, as retribution against [=McGristle=]. He is promptly very, very sick afterwards and vows never to eat dog again.

* LateArrivalSpoiler: Jarlaxle being a renegade member of House Baenre is a closely-guarded secret in-universe, and isn't revealed to readers until well after his character has been established. Nowadays its a fundamental aspect of his lore.
* PragmaticVillainy: What sets Jarlaxle apart from most drow is that he's not a sadist; he's a buisnessman. He's not above trading lives for gold but he'll also pitch in for a greater good if it benefits him in the long run.

To quote the Berserk Button page; This is not about anger in response to something that would reasonably enrage someone and the Would Hit A Girlpage; Since this trope is about defying social expectations, it only counts if the work mentions the expectation that men should not hit women — even if just to defy it. Villainous Crossdresser has also been dewicked, and what is written here does not fit the criteria for Creepy Crossdresser.
