* MagnificentBastard: Of anyone in the series, this seems to apply most to Uncle, one of the two (known) oldest human beings in the Liaden Universe. He and Dulsey outlived his original ''universe'', and he has operated mostly behind the scenes for hundreds of years since, relying on his trove of LostTechnology to keep himself and Dulsey alive (and out of the hands of his enemies). Brilliant, devious, charismatic, and charming, he steps out of the shadows only rarely, but has emerged into the light more frequently in the last few Liaden novels.

* StoicWoobie: Many, many of them, given that most books and stories in the Liaden series tend to revolve around the rehabilitation of emotionally-damaged people whose culture frowns on any overt displays of vulnerability. Though it is worth noting that these characters can really only be called woobies at the ''beginning'' of their arcs; most of them quite get over it under the care of those who come to their rescue. Just a ''few'' examples:
** Priscilla Mendoza
** Aelianna Caylon
** Ren Zel dea'Judan

** Nelirikk Explorer (you ''will'' believe a six-foot plus tattooed supersoldier can be a woobie) and Hazenthull Explorer. (Diglon Rifle ''might'' also qualify, but tended to seem a bit too wooden to be a woobie.)

** Liaden culture seems to find nothing wrong with homosexual relationships. In the short story ''This House'', a male Healer is asked to help the woman who is his male former lover's new lover and it is not implied that there was anything unusual or taboo about the previous male/male relationship.
