Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup


* AuthorityGrantsAsskicking: Shadow is both the leader and, by implication, the best fighter. Chip is technically the heir to the vampire throne and is shown to be more badass than any other vampire. The trope is, however, subverted in regards to Chip's [[NonActionGuy brother]], the Vampire King.

Sliding Scale Of Antiheroes was redirected. Deleting wicks to it, Anti Hero Zero Context Examples and \"Type X\" junk


* AntiHero: Shadow is around a [[SlidingScaleOfAntiHeroes Type III]] – he’s openly described as a psychopath, casually kills a lot of people and acts a bit of a jerk to most of his friends, but he’s still basically a good person. Brass is a Type II – a good person who happens to be a thief and conman. MPM used to have a Type V named Legit, but he hasn’t appeared yet.
