* HurtingHero: Chris displays shades of this throughout the story, even in the prologue, where he's still hurting over how the Spencer Estate mission turned out for him and Jill, therefore taking the news of Claire's near-death at the hands of a seemingly MalevolentMaskedMan very badly.

* BladeEnthusiast: While Leon picks up various other weapons throughout the story (including [[ChainsawGood a chainsaw]]), the art depicts him wielding a knife. He's most often written with one throughout the story, with a KnifeFight showcasing both his skill at it and the DramaticIrony of him playing Krauser's previous role. ''another line'', set after he starts his HeelFaceTurn, still has him pulling a knife when someone knocks on his door.

* NoNeedForNames: A horrifying variant. Leon's POV in chapter 7 makes it clear that his status as an ImplacableMan came at a [[BrainwashedAndCrazy terrible mental cost]], and his amnesia is enforced by conditioning that invokes this trope.
