* AngelicAliens: Greene sees the Strangers this way, and the Doctor as well.
* DirtyCoward: Heller believes himself to be one, and is perfectly fine with that.
* HeteronormativeCrusader: The very Catholic Greene disapproves of Turing on principle, and in particular hates Turing's infatuation with the Doctor.



* HughMann: The two robots hunting down the Strangers, who more or less physically resemble humans, but who are nevertheless deeply uncanny and don't think or act like humans at all.
* HumanAliens: The Doctor is probably the most human-like of all the aliens in the book, but that's not exactly saying much.
* [[Jerkass]]: Graham Greene, bordering on a HateSink in places. He's an arrogant, racist, homophobic hypocrite...and he has the longest narration out of all of them.



* MechanicalLifeforms: Daria and Elgar, the uncannily human robots hunting down the Strangers. The question of whether they count as "people" or just machines is a central theme.



* MoodWhiplash: The mostly optimistic end of Turing's narration at the end of Part One, immediately followed by Greene informing the readers that Turning is now dead, and he'll be taking over the story.
