* AbsurdlyDedicatedWorker: Kudlak has been ignorantly fighting a war that ended years ago, similar to the famous story of Hiroo Onoda, a Japanese soldier who continued operating on a remote island unaware that World War II was over.
* ForeverWar: The Uvodni are locked in a long conflict against an unseen and apparently far worse race called the Malakh. Subverted in the end as it turns out Kudlak's information is outdated; the war ended over a decade ago and his mission has been pointless.
* GirlyRun: Humorously, Kudlak chases Sarah Jane and Maria with a bizarre, prancing gait.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Kudlak kidnaps human children to serve in the Uvodni military and use their combat skills against the Malakh, acting on the orders of his Mistress that it is necessary for them to end the war. However, as soon as he discovers the truth, he doesn't hesitate to stop.
