* TheArcher: Her main weapon of choice.

* HeroesWantRedheads: Falls in love with the red-haired Andromache at first sight.

* DeathIsDramatic: [[spoiler: He's, along with Menelaus and Idomeneus, blown sky high when he came to the volcanic island of Thera looking in vein for Priam's treasure. Just as it began to violently erupt.]]

* AdaptationalHeroism: Of a sort. He's considered a coward by many but he isn't the vein and womanizing prince of the original myths. He does genuinely love Helen and he didn't abduct her from Sparta, she was living in Troy at the time Sparta was conquered by Agamemnon and he married her shortly after.

* AdaptationalWimp: Not that his counterpart in theo original stories was anything to ride home about but he's painfully out of his depth when he goes to face Achilles.

* IncurruptiblePurePureness: Helikaon is shocked when Odysseus relays to him that the Mykene think he somehow "bought" Argurios, saying all the gold in the world wouldn't be enough to accomplish that.

* AscendedExtra: He is this when looking at the role Aeneas played in the Literature/TrojanCycle. [[note]] Important to remember ''Literature/TheAeneid'' isn't part of the original Trojan War mythos [[/note]].

* CoveredWithScars: His aged body is littered with them from his many years of campaigning

* PyrrhicVillainy: Ultimately, he is successful in conquering Troy and wiping out most of Priam's family. However his victory his short-lived as the Hittite Empire orders him to leave Troy or face a war with them. The plunder he desired from Priam's treasury also alludes him as Troy spent it all in the defense of the city. To top it all off, he's killed when the volcano on Thera erupts when he came to it looking for Helikaon and Andromache.

* NiceToTheWaiter: Showed this towards the servants of the Egyptian Palace who often caught the ire of Ramses. Gave an unlucky eunuch an advanced warning that Ramses planned on having him killed for bumping into him, as well as some money so he could get far away from Egypt. This is also what ultimately got him sent on the run from Egypt when he intervened to stop the rape of a slave girl and killed two Royal Guards.

* TheDreaded: Becomes a national enemy of the Mykene for his killing of Mykene heroes like Alektruon and his punitive responses to their pirate raids.

* WeUsedToBeFriends: Was good friends with Helikaon since the latter's first journey with Odysseus when he was a teen but by the time of third year of the war he genuinely comes to hate Helikaon and wishes for his ship and him to burn at sea. Even after Helikaon helps liberate Ithika from pirates, he thanks him for the assistance but doesn't take back his words or shows a desire to mend wounds.
* WhatTheHellHero: The reason he comes to hate Helikaon is because of the latter's punitive raids across the Great Green when war between Troy and the west breaks out that becomes the stuff of nightmares for any community based close the sea.

%%* AbusiveParent:
%%* AdaptationalVillainy:

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Her golden hair is one of her most distinguishing characteristics and dies getting her son, Dex, to safety. Was also in general one of more kind-hearted individuals in the series.

* VillainRespect: Initially he thought little of Odysseus, thinking him just a glorified liar who ruled over an insignificant kingdom, but when Odysseus was forced by circumstances to ally Ithaka with Mykene he was impressed with his strategic mind. Outlining that Troy could only be beaten when it's trade routes and wealth were cut off rather, targeting it's weaker allies, rather than with a more direct assault on the city.

* FourStarBadass: The series is full of them but he's a notable example in that he started out as a simple, if exeperienced, Mykene foot soldier and eventually finds himself as a general on the Trojan side of the conflict leading a Thrakia resistance movement against his former Mykene countrymen.
* AGoodWayToDie: Dies having held up the Mykene army all morning and thinking happily of Big Red.

* FriendVersusLover: Downplayed on his end but Big Red, Banokles stated in a conversation with him, that she didn't like him and assumed he didn't like her either. Which was to his surprise.

* AmazonianBeauty: In addition to being described on the tall side, her time on the isle of Thera has given her a rather athletic/muscular physique. Something that even characters who don't rbrn like her find enticing.
