Saskia is a female version, able to walk up to a woman selling burgers and convince her to go home and have sex with her with six words. "I'm not here for the food." She must have an incredible gaydar.
* ControlFreak: Jakob, to [[Series/SecretSmile Brendan Block]] proportions. Having control taken away from him causes his FauxAffablyEvil facade to crack and VillainousBreakdown to set in.

* SmugSmiler: Jakob, who has a fantastically smug grin.

* StalkerWithACrush: Jakob still desires Melanie and is unwilling to let her move on with her life without him in it.
