History Characters / TroubledBlood

* FunetikAksent: She has a very thick Cockney accent which is conveyed on page.

* VillainHasAPoint: He's a despicable, irredeemable monster but he raises a valid point when he notes the world leaders who championed the invasion of Iraq never had to face consequences for what they did while he did.

* WalkingSpoiler: The trope names tell you almost everything you need to know about Janice.]]

* TheDeterminator: He's spent three decades trying to meet Creed and get him to reveal where his daughters body is, long after the other relatives of unconfirmed Creed victims [[spoiler:Neither of whom was actually killed by Creed, unlike his daguther]] lost interest or died.
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: The eldest of his three daughters dissapeared, likely a victim of Dennis Creed and its had a long term impact on his life.

* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: She was an [[TooCoolToLive cool]] doctor and feminist who stood up for the underdog, [[spoiler:unraveled the truth about Janice's murders]], and was a good mother...so of course she had to die.

* CreepyCrossDresser He wore women's clothing often, especially while abducting people, although unlike most examples it wasn't done out of either an intention to terrify people or out of a genuine statement about his sexuality, but rather to appear ''less'' threatening and to avoid having people associate him with the rapist and murderer plaguing the news.
* SerialKiller: He kidnapped, raped tortured and eventually killed several women in the seventies.

* BeAllMySinsRemembered: After the case is solved Robin finds him to be surprisingly frank and introspective in thinking back about all of the signs that he'd missed and such. Even before that he's shown to have some ItsAllMyFault feelings about Margot's disappearance.

* {{Irony}}: While it may have been a deliberate choice on his part ''because'' of his condition multiple characters comment about how he's both a hematologist and has a blood clotting health condition himself.

* ParentsAsPeople: He does care about his daughter but not telling her the truth about her mother (and his remaining frustrations and concerns about the case) cause a lot of friction between them which only heals a side effect of Strike's investigation.

* MadwomanInTheAttic: The mother and son have severe mental issues and rarely if ever leave the second floor room they live in.

* {{Jerkass}}: She's generally self-centered and rude.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: No one but Pat the secretary has anything good to say about him.

[[folder:The Athorn's]]

* CreepyCrossDresser He wore women clothing often, especially while abducting people although unlike most examples it wasn't done out of either an intention to terrify people or out of a genuine statement about his sexuality, but rather to appear '';less'' threatening and to avoid having people associate him with the rapist and murderer plaguing the news.

* AmbiguousSituation: Given that most of the information comes from [[spoiler:an unreliable source in Janice]], it's debatable how much of what Strike and Robin are told is true. For example, did he really treat the prisoners in the concentration camp once the Allies liberated it?
