* WarForFunAndProfit: Like many trappers and traders of his time, he doesn't care about the unspeakable violence being committed around him in the forests of New England and only cares about making a quick franc by buying the severed heads of the Mohawk nation's enemies at a low price and re-selling them for a higher one.

* KickTheDog: While discussing Flora and the general question of whether or not non-white, non-Christian people are people, Fletcher tries to point out that both of them have known clever Native Americans. Cutting dismissively says the only way in which such people can be creative is in their falsehoods, and that otherwise they're just savages incapable of creating anything themselves.

* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: There is some subtle potential symbolism peppered throughout the film that Patience may in fact be a transgender man, especially given how she takes the form of her dead husband and seems to have no interest in dispelling the illusion even after it's served its purpose. She also has several visions throughout the film of her literally (but perhaps metaphorically) swapping places with Mr. Gavett after he slashed a scar across her face.
Added DiffLines:
* EveryScarHasAStory: Patience has a long diagonal scar which cuts across her face, a marker of the DomesticAbuse inflicted upon her by her late husband. It's also a potential metaphor for how Puritan sociey has "scarred" her enough to accept a covenant with the Devil himself.

* ConsummateProfessional: Related to the above, he is loyal chiefly to his duties and his religion. When Fletcher commits fornication by having sex with Flora, Cutting tersely informs him that he will need to report the crime when they return to Boston, and makes no indication he will act in any way to shield his partner from the consequences of his actions -- which he explicitly notes as Fletcher being likely to lose his office.

* EyepatchOfPower: Zig-zagged. The other Englishmen see Fletcher's eyepatch as one of these due to it being a battle scar incurred during his honorable service in the war, but Fletcher himself sees it as just another inescapable reminder of the atrocities he committed and was subjected to.
