* TheBabyOfTheBunch: All of their older siblings disappeared (actually captured by Manberg) after Belzer's [[AbusiveParents less than stellar parenting skills]] drove them away, so long ago apparently that Wendell and Wild weren't even ''aware'' they had other siblings. Belzer's imprisonment of them ends up being revealed as a desperate bid to keep his remaining children safe.

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: They want to pave over an impoverished town of lower class citizens (most of whom are people of color) and build a private prison over it [[spoiler:with the intent of filling it with "Break The Cycle" program wards by making rehabilitation impossible.]]

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: While the modern Rust Bank council that opposes the prison is diverse in race and gender, the Old Guard are all white men who may be from the generation that colonized Rust Bank in the first place. Thus their support for the prison that will prey on Rust Bank’s population of mostly people of color is a continuation of their bigoted legacy into modern times.

* VillainBall: Why they decided to give the Old Guard the duty of bulldozing Rust Bank rather than just hire an actual workforce to do the job can't really be explained for reasons other than cheapness and sadism. Naturally, the decision leaves them completely defenseless and without the means to carry out their plans once the Old Guard are re-killed.

* MurderIsTheBestSolution: Their first go-to strategy whenever they can't buy someone out or think their corrupt dealings could be exposed is to just murder them and hide the evidence. Tellingly, the only reason they schemed to get the Town Council out-voted in order to pass their private prison initiative through is because they deemed the Council members too sharp ''to be successfully assassinated''. [[spoiler:It winds up royally biting them as Belzer's magic hair cream allows Raul to resurrect some of their previous victims to identify them as the culprits.]]
