* PapaWolf: Tragically subverted. While the [=UnSub=] doesn't want his son to be caught in the crossfire between him and the B.A.U., he has no issues with committing suicide by cop right in front of him or his wife, showing that it is impossible for him to have genuine paternal instinct.

* LackofEmpathy: The [=UnSub=] loves his family because he only sees them as extensions of himself, and therefore incapable of actual unconditional love. The fact that he committed suicide-by-cop in front of them shows that by the end of the day, it’s all about him.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The [=UnSub=] has a wife and a young son that he clearly cares for. He actually seems to care about a couple of his mistresses too, especially the one who is pregnant. Though, this love is actually shallow and one-sided, as the BAU mention that he only sees them as extensions of himself.


Added DiffLines:

* ItsAllAboutMe: Even though the [=UnSub=] loves his son, it’s only because he sees the child as an extension of himself and does not once think about the trauma his actions would have on him. Lampshaded by Prentiss when she mentions that he committed suicide-by-cop in front of him to avoid going to prison.

* MySkullRunnethOver: A variation. Rossi speculates that the Unsub has so many false identities in his head that they're starting to bleed into each other, and when they shatter the cons he's trying to pull, the Unsub falls into an unstoppable rage.

* TheseHandsHaveKilled: Agent Goldman, the FBI White Collar Crime agent working with the B.A.U. has this reaction after killing the Unsub in the mistaken belief he was reaching for a weapon. Though Prentiss tells him it was a justified shooting and the Unsub chose to die, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone Goldman is still shaken by having killed an unarmed man]].
