[[AC:"My Name Is Datak Tarr and I Have Come to Kill You"]]
* T'evgin implying that he has given up his original goal of [[spoiler: awakening the other Omec and conquering the world]], due to having lived among the population and seeing their honorable qualities.
* The flashbacks of Datak's childhood are [[AbusiveParents pretty]] [[FreudianExcuse horrible]], until the final one. [[spoiler: For all his father put him through, he was allowed to go alone on the mass Votan exodus, even though he got two seats. When Datak tries to insist that his father join him and survive, his father simply smiles, tells him that he is proud of him, and gives him his prized blade.]]
* [[spoiler: After being freed from the shaming rack and told about his SuicideMission to take out Rahm Tak's army]], Datak goes to Yewll's hospital and sees [[spoiler: Alak recovering from Bebe's gunshot. He was hesitant before, but [[PapaWolf that's all it takes]] for the formerly self-serving criminal to accept the mission that will almost certainly kill him.]]
** And [[spoiler: even though he does not end up giving his life, he still shows how willing he is to sacrifice for Defiance by [[AnArmAndALeg chopping off his good arm]] with his blade to lower Rahm Tak's guard until the stasis net explosion.]]

He insists on letting Luke stay with Alak even though Stahma argues otherwise, saying a son should be with his father, and is distressed when Nolan threatens to kill Alak to get him to talk (it was an act the two cooked up)]].
* Datak suggesting he and Stahma could live a simple life as fishermen. For someone so concerned with wealth and power, it's sweet that he'd give it up as long as he was with her.
* And yet another Datak moment. [[spoiler:When it's clear he won't be able to rendezvous with Stahma since Nolan is a step ahead, he gives himself up so Stahma can get away]].
* Finally, in a shared moment between Datak and Nolan, [[spoiler:Nolan makes a simple meal for Datak while he's in prison. While Nolan doesn't approve of what Datak did, he at least understands why.]]
