!!! Emily Thorne/Amanda Clarke
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/emily_2_4850.jpg]]

--> ''"For the truly wronged, real satisfaction can only be found in one of two places: absolute forgiveness, or mortal vindication. [[PayEvilUntoEvil This is not a story about forgiveness.]]"''

* ActionGirl: She is a black belt in karate, and quite proficient at kicking ass.
* AntiHero: Although her motives are understandable and sympathetic, she is far from a morally upstanding protagonist.
* {{Badass}}: Not necessarily a good one, but one nevertheless.
* BatmanGambit: She could give Bruce Wayne a run for his money.
* BattleCouple: With Aiden.
* BestServedCold
* BitchInSheepsClothing
* BigSisterInstinct: She earns one after a revelation.
* [[RedOniBlueOni Blue Oni]]: Controlled next to most people; compared to the other Amanda/Emily, she's practically dead.
* BreakTheBadass: Season 2 hasn't been particularly kind to her.
* BrokenBird
* [[ByronicHero Byronic Heroine]]
* [[CelibateHero Celibate Heroine]]: Slips between this now and again.
* TheChessmaster: Succeeds in out-manipulating pretty much everybody.
* DaddysGirl: This, combined with shades of BrokenBird and a big dose of {{Magnificent Bastard}}, makes her a force to be reckoned with where her father's memory is concerned.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Part of the show is uncovering it.
* DeathGlare: Known by the cast as "The Croc".
* TheDanza: Played with. Emily Thorne is played by Emily Van Camp. But Emily's (Thorne) real name is Amanda Clarke.
* DefrostingIceQueen: To Aiden.
* DeterminedExpression: Most of the time when she's with Daniel she has this facial expression on.
* EmotionlessGirl: Tries to act like it anyway.
* FateWorseThanDeath: Is very fond of inflicting this on those who betrayed her father.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: For everyone she meets.
* HarmfulToMinors
* KnightTemplar
* KubrickStare: Definitely
* {{Jerkass}}
** JerkWithAHeartofJerk: A not so rare protagonist version. She does ''occasionally'' demonstrate a softer side, having shown affection for Nolan, Jack, Charlotte, and Amanda in the past (not that she wouldn't risk putting all of them but Jack into danger in order to further her aims)
* KillItWithFire: Is implied to be a pyromaniac, or at least favour using arson to eliminate evidence.
* LadyInRed[=/=]LittleBlackDress: Overlaps in the OBB.
* ManipulativeBitch
* MeaningfulName: Emily ''Thorne'', which is lampshaded by Nolan.
** Emily itself comes from the latin word "aemulus" which means "Rival" while her birth name Amanda means "loved" or "worthy of love". Both names fit perfectly. Amanda who was loved by her father and the name she adopts Emily, as she takes on those who destroyed her family. WordOfGod has confirmed both these names and meanings were intentional.
* MinoredInAssKicking: Emily was a LittleMissBadAss in juvie, but now using her brains to get revenge in the Hamptons.
* MissingMom: [[spoiler: Though it turns out that her mother is still alive.]]
* NeverMyFault
* PetTheDog: One she learns the truth that [[spoiler:Charlotte is her half-sister]] she has some tender moments with her, and it doesn't even involve her plans for the Graysons.
* RevealingHug: Practically her SignatureMove.
* {{Revenge}}: ''Obviously''.
* SecretIdentityIdentity: She identifies so strongly as "Emily Thorne" that she refers to the real Emily as Amanda, even when they're alone together.
* StartOfDarkness: "Legacy".
* StepfordSmiler: Constantly hides her [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] nature under a caring, gentle facade.
* TheStoic
** NotSoStoic: Till the Finale where you can see all she's done finally catches up with her.
* TheSociopath: Nolan has canonically called her as one. Although it is uncertain whether she qualifies psychologically, she certainly displays behaviors consistent with sociopathy.
* ThatManIsDead
* TragicMonster
* TranquilFury: At least during the first half of the first season she keeps her anger at the Graysons a secret, at least until Daniel decides to join the Grayson corporation.
* TookALevelInBadass: Following Season 2.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Amazingly, following the beginning of Season 2 she becomes remarkably more ruthless.
* TheUnfettered: Initially, but ends up caring about quite a few people (to different extents) entirely against her will.
* UsedToBeASweetKid
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend
* YouKilledMyFather

[[folder: Emily's Friends]]
!!! Nolan Ross
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nolan_6534.jpg]]
--> ''"Don't do anything [[BuffySpeak revenge-y]] until I get there."''

* AFriendInNeed: Nolan is the only friend of Amanda's father who does not abandon him. When Amanda turns 18 he comes to her and tells her of her father's innocence and gives her her father's 49% worth of shares of Nolan's company (worth billions of dollars) since her father was Nolan's first investor and Nolan believes he would not have succeeded without him. He also is determined to help Emily in her quest for vengeance, even when she doesn't want him to.
** In a more present sense of the word, Nolan is more than willing to help Jack out, though like Emily, Jack doesn't want him to.
* {{Adorkable}}: Holy ''shit''.
-->'''Nolan''': Throw me a token and put me in front of an arcade cabinet... ''And I turn into Bruce friggin' Lee''!
** The above line is absolutely ''sold'' by his gestures.
* BiTheWay: He's not revealed as bisexual until the seventh episode of the series. Later on gets a Girlfriend
* BelligerentSexualTension: With Tyler, and [[ShippingGoggles depending on who you ask]], both Ashley and Jack.
* BerserkButton: If Nolan's around: ''don't'' hurt Jack. It's healthier that way.
* BuffySpeak: Besides being TheNicknamer with SesquipedalianLoquaciousness going on for him, he tends to put words together as he pleases. 'Revenge-y' and 'revengenda' are two examples...
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Weird, socially awkward and eccentric. He's also a computer genius who has more money than God.
* ColorContrast: The first time we see Nolan is in the flash-forward to the Fire and Ice Ball five months in the future; the dress code is red for women and white for men, with Victoria specifying that the color theme [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic represents the love between a man and a woman]]. Nolan is the only guest at the party wearing both colors, possibly an early hint as to his bisexuality.
* CowardlySidekick: Has shades of this with the decidedly {{badass}} Emily. While he is willing to put himself in danger indirectly and risk his safety for the sake of his own morals, he is beyond terrible at physical/hand-to-hand combat. If he senses any threat of immediate violence, his standard reaction to freeze, curl up in terror, and beg not to be hurt.
* TheDandy: Is consistently decked out in loud, rather bizarre fashion statements.
* DeadpanSnarker
* DistressedDude: Is beaten/tied up more than his fair share. Not that fans are complaining. In fact, this, combined with his snarky personality, {{Woobie}} status, and [[GuyOnGuyIsHot bisexuality]], seems to render him a [[FetishFuel Fetish Fuel Station Attendant]] for quite a few viewers.
* TheDragon: Nolan is more or less this to Emily. Whether she likes it or not.
* DudeWheresMyRespect
* {{Expy}}: He's basically a nice, kind version of [[GossipGirl Chuck Bass]].
* FriendshipMoment: Has a few surprisingly sweet ones with Ashley, despite the fact that they generally despise each other. Nothing says "bonding experience" like finding out that the guy you both slept with is a psychotic murderer.
* HollywoodHacking: And how. Can apparently access any website with a few clicks of his keyboard.
* IdleRich: Possibly a deconstruction of this trope; he possesses insane amounts of money, but is still lonely, awkward, and socially inept.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Pretty much everything he does is in an attempt to win and keep either Emily or Jack's approval.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: With Emily, in an odd, rather [[DysfunctionJunction codependently unhealthy way]]. (He is simultaneously terrified of her and desperate for her approval and friendship, while she claims not to need him while calling in favors from him every five minutes.) At the same time, the two of them are probably the only people in the world who know each others' secrets, and they share some moments of genuine affection.
* LonelyRichKid
* MoodWhiplash: Makes frequent and startling swings from intimidating to flippant, from determined to panicked, from cold to emotional, etc., at the drop of a hat. His loyalty to Emily and David keeps him on board with the revenge plan, but how committed and involved he is varies from day to day based on his personal reactions to Emily's methods.
* MoralityPet: Despite his cold, snarky persona, he manages to be this for Emily when her actions cross lines that he isn't willing to condone.
* NeverHurtAnInnocent: He's all for taking people down but doesn't like going after others who weren't involved. Sadly, Emily does not share this view.
* NiceGuy
* TheNicknamer
* OnlySaneMan: Occasionally.
* PaperThinDisguise: His "Burt the cable guy" costume in the season finale; a uniform, beanie, and rather wispy mustache are his only concessions to concealing his identity. [[spoiler:It doesn't work.]]
* ParentalSubstitute: His aunt Carol, and maybe David Clarke.
* PlatonicLifePartners: With Emily.
* PoisonousFriend: Nolan is an inversion of this: while he is fanatically loyal to Emily/Amanda and assists her in her revenge scheme, he also points out that she would probably be happier if she just dropped the whole thing and went off somewhere to enjoy her wealth.
* SacrificialLamb: Though this occurred sporadically to him throughout Season 1, his status as this reaches a figurative height when Emily, Aidan, and Daniel's machinations in the first half of Season 2 set Nolan up to [[spoiler: lose control of his company and hand it over to Grayson Global]]. Nolan is more than willing to allow this to happen though, if it means 'helping the closest thing to family he's had'.
** Later on, it seems he's very aware of his place as this, as he enters an episode saying this:
--> '''Nolan''': Mm... Sacrificial lamb, reporting for the slaughter...
* SecretKeeper: For Emily.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Normally uses a rainbow of a vocabulary to describe situations. Often drops this when he's panicking about something.
* ShipperOnDeck: For Jack and Emily. Considering his close friendship with Emily and considerable amount of {{HoYay}} with Jack, this veers into {{OT3}} territory for some fans.
* SpoiledSweet: Despite being a DeadpanSnarker, and the richest character in the series, he is incredibly empathetic, often looking in the best interest of Jack, Declan, and Emily.
* StealthParody: His hilariously over-the-top preppy outfits could be, particularly when you take into account Nolan's sarcastic personality and hatred of [[DeadlyDecadentCourt the Hamptonites]], and that he dresses much more casually in flashbacks.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Snarky and awkward on the outside, sweet and kind-hearted on the inside. In Nolan's case, it may be justifiable to protect himself from people who would use that against him.
* TechnicalPacifist: Aids Emily in her plans to ruin the lives of those who destroyed David Clarke, but dislikes violence and is terrible at any sort of physical combat, preferring to wage war from behind the screen of his iPad.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Emily and Jack.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Nolan's relationship with his father is revealed to be an inversion of this: while he apparently became estranged from his father after the latter kicked him out for refusing to go back to college, after his father's death Nolan discovers that his dad was proud enough of him to have collected every article ever written about Nolan, as well as keeping a massive box of early business documents from the beginning of NolCorp's founding. As Nolan says in his typically DeadpanSnarker way, "turns out he loved me."
* [[spoiler:WorkingWithTheEx:]] On not so friendly terms. Daniel's strategy [[spoiler:to take control of Nolcorp]] is to place Nolan's former CFO [[spoiler:and ex-boyfriend]] Marco Romero next to Nolan and his current CFO Padma. [[spoiler:Whether Daniel's reason for doing this is to cause discord on intimate or business terms for Nolan remains to be seen.]]

!!! Jack Porter
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/NWechsler_6883.jpg]]

* ABoyAndHisX: Is pretty much inseparable from Sammy, the dog Amanda bequeathed on him years before.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Towards Declan.
* [[spoiler:HotDad: Real Emily/fake Amanda is revealed to be pregnant in the season finale with Jack's baby. Their baby is born in Season 2.]]
* BreakTheCutie: Holy crap does the second season screw him ''hard''. [[spoiler:His father's involvement in a murder years ago comes back to ruin his life when the Ryan brothers show up to try and take over Jack's bar as a means of avenging their father. Nate Ryan's later conversation with Conrad Grayson leads to the death of fake Amanda during their honeymoon. Jack's attempt to get revenge for this leads to Conrad's attempt to assassinate Jack in the form of a bombing. The bombing takes Declan's life instead.]] After all that, can you really blame him for the [[TookALevelInJerkass inevitable]]?
* HairTriggerTemper: After [[spoiler:Amanda's death]], his temper becomes so bad that it's arguable who's got a worse rein on his anger between him and Daniel. After the aforementioned event, he's shown to be increasingly irritable towards Nolan and Emily for their secrets as well as whatever involvement they had in the events between the current summer and the previous one.
* NiceGuy: Could be the poster boy for this trope, especially in comparison to the other characters...
* ParentalAbandonment: Jack and Declan Porter's mother abandoned her family when the boys were very young and they were raised by their father.
* PerpetualPoverty: By the time the show begins, all the Porters have left to their name is the bar their father owns and Jack's boat. [[spoiler: The boat is sold to Nolan in season one, though because Nolan understands what the boat means to Jack, he does return it eventually.]] The bar gets enough for the Porters to get by, but their conditions never improve, so maintenance problems with the bar is enough to make them panic. Nolan and Emily are willing to support them whenever the situation becomes too drastic, though Jack's pride keeps him from accepting help from either of them. In Season 2, [[spoiler:Jack and Declan's inability to manage the bar pushes them into debt with another pair of brothers that have a score to settle with Jack's now deceased father.]]
* PromotionToParent: When their father dies from a heart attack, the adult Jack becomes Declan's guardian.
* {{Revenge}}: After a season and a half of decidedly attempting to stay away from the Graysons, [[spoiler:Amanda's death]] puts him on the same warpath that Emily's been on for most of her life. His amateur attempts at joining the revenge game ends up ruining his life further than solving anything. [[spoiler:Declan's death drives him to the brink of executing an assassination on Conrad, to the point where it takes Emily revealing her true identity to him to stop him]].
* RichSuitorPoorSuitor: The poor suitor in the triangle between him, Daniel and Emily.
* TookALevelInJerkass: [[spoiler:Amanda's death]] has him out for Grayson blood, but his disdain isn't entirely aimed at them; he begins to openly show contempt towards anyone that might be involved during the incident and makes it very clear that he's sick of Emily and Nolan for keeping secrets from him and trying to keep him out of the way of the Graysons' sights.
* UnluckyChildhoodFriend: ...so far.


!!! Amanda Clarke/Emily Thorne

* AxCrazy
* BiTheWay
* DefeatMeansFriendship: When Amanda first met the real Emily in juvie, they got into a brief but brutal fight; now, they seem rather close, enough for Emily being willing to switch identities.
* [[spoiler:DiedInYourArmsTonight: In Emily's.]]
* [[spoiler:HotMom: Revealed to be pregnant with Jack's baby by the end of Season 1. Their baby is born in Season 2.]]
* IJustWantToBeLoved: She's crazy, but still intently devoted to anyone gives her love and acceptance.
** [[spoiler:She panics at the thought that Emily doesn't love her, and briefly sides with Tyler when he plays with this doubt of hers.]]
* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]
* MsFanservice
* PsychoSupporter
* [[RedOniBlueOni Red Oni]]: She is quite manic, ''especially'' when compared to her composed Emily/Amanda counterpart.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Emily/the real Amanda.
** [[spoiler:To the point where she panics at the thought that Emily might not be as loyal to her. She briefly sides with Tyler in an attempt to try and fix her connection with Emily.]]
* {{Yandere}}: She has shades of this in regards to Emily/Amanda.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: The Graysons]]

!!! Victoria Grayson

* AbusiveParents: Her mother is a heartless, abusive GoldDigger [[spoiler:and murderer]].
* AlphaBitch: During the first season rules the Hamptons with an iron fist.
* AntiRoleModel: Told her own daughter to not regret seeking {{Revenge}}, while she was crying and in a dark moment, implying things DON'T get better, even if she does try.
* AntiVillain: [[spoiler: From the end of the first series.]]
* ArchEnemy: Victoria is Emily's, although the former doesn't know about it yet.
* TheAtoner: [[spoiler: Victoria, of all people, starts coming off as this in the last few episodes of the season, as she dedicates herself to taking down Conrad for what happened to David Clarke, no matter the cost. Though there is at least some question as to whether this is because of a genuine desire to atone or because the whole affair is a convenient weapon to use against Conrad (Victoria was careful to secure immunity for herself and separate her assets from his before she said anything.)]]
* BabyTrap: Victoria got Conrad to marry her by faking a pregnancy. After the wedding she had a fake ConvenientMiscarriage.
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: At the end of the first episode, she's already checking into Emily Thorne's past.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The one redeeming quality Victoria has is that she genuinely loves her children.
** [[spoiler: Despite helping to destroy David Clarke, she appears to have genuinely loved him and even refused to let Conrad sell or bulldoze the beachhouse for several years, as it was her one last connection to the man she loved.]]
* EvilMatriarch: There's a reason she's known as "Queen" Victoria.
* FauxAffablyEvil: She can smile politely while plotting on destroying you.
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen
* GoldDigger: The reason she married Conrad.
* HotMom
* MyBelovedSmother: To Daniel.
* ParentalFavoritism: Obviously prefers Daniel to Charlotte.

* StepfordSmiler: Actually tells people that her smiles are fake.
* WomanScorned: Her actions after finding out are terrifying.
* WoundedGazelleGambit

!!! Conrad Grayson

* AssholeVictim
* TheApprentice: To his father before he too over the company .
* CoincidenceMagnet: From his perspective all of this is co incidental.
* TheCharmer:Despite the nepotism which gave him his title, he has had his way with many woman & can make a good first impression.
* ConsummateLiar: As everyone is in this show.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive
* DeadpanSnarker
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes
* IDidWhatIHadToDo
* [[WomanScorned Man Scorned]]: He's furious about Victoria's infidelities (though he's quite the adulterer himself) and hates that she loved David and Dominic more than him.
** IfICantHaveYou
* TheManInFrontOfTheMan: Definitely.
* NonIdleRich: Definitely.
* ObstructiveBureaucrat: And HOW!
* RichInDollarsPoorInSense: How many people have called him out on his decisions.

!!! Daniel Grayson

* [[spoiler: AmbitionIsEvil]]
* TheAlcoholic: At least in the past.
* TheAtoner
* CorruptCorporateExecutive
* ConsummateLiar: As everyone is in this show.

* [[IHaveNoSon I Have No Parents]]: Depending on which one he's mad at this week.
* LoveAtFirstSight: For Emily.
* LonelyAtTheTop: He is one of the youngest CEOs & lost his girlfriend for his decision. He also alienated his sister & his family with his actions.
* NiceGuy: At first anyway.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Subverted. Conrad argues that Daniel wouldn't go anywhere in the world without the Grayson name, which might have been true if his parents' machinations didn't place him as the CEO of Grayson Global. Now, Daniel's just concerned with not becoming the nightmare that he's fully aware his parents became a long time ago.
* ParentalFavouritism: Except was the favorite.
* MoodSwinger: As his world falls apart he goes from mood to mood.
* SpoiledSweet
* TookALevelInJerkass: Joining his father, hitting his mother, being cold to his fiance within a few episodes. Gets worse in the second season.

* BreakTheCutie
* ButtMonkey: If they want anything bad to happen to any character it's usually her.
* TheConscience: Her crimes are little things in compared to her families and is arguably the most conscience one in the set.

* DaddysGirl: Before the revelation.
* FunctionalAddict: Gets on well despite her addiction to pills.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Associates of Grayson Global]]

* IJustWantToBeSpecial: And [[IfIWereARichMan rich]]. And a [[TheBeautifulElite society queen]].
* ProfessionalButtKisser: To Victoria.
* TheResenter: To Emily. In good humour at first, but turns ugly as their friendship is left behind in the wake of [[{{Revenge}} the plot]].
* ShesGotLegs: This also applies to other female characters on the show, but no one symbolises this trope here as much as Ashley.
* SmugSnake
* TokenMinority

* FauxAffablyEvil: Especially when he snaps.
* IvyLeagueForEveryone
* {{Jerkass}}
* JerkassHasAPoint: His advice to Ashley about not letting herself be a doormat for Victoria is actually rather sage.
** He was also technically right about Emily.
* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]
* ManipulativeBastard
* MultipleChoicePast
* SmugSnake
* SpannerInTheWorks
* ToxicFriendInfluence: To Daniel.
* VillainousBreakdown
* WildCard

!!! Mason Treadwell

* AmbiguouslyGay
* BitchInSheepsClothing
* DeadpanSnarker: Rivals with Nolan and Conrad.
* HeelFaceTurn: After Emily convinces him that it was Victoria who [[spoiler:burned down his house]].
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He has a very "Truman Capote" vibe to him.
* [[spoiler:SecretKeeper: As per Penance, he is fully aware of Emily's identity, and is allied with her... but in a way that is completely in Emily's control.]]
* SpannerInTheWorks
* StrawmanNewsMedia: Type 5.
* TakingYouWithMe: His new way of operating since coming back to the Hamptons;
--> "It's a small price to pay for the regain of my soul".
* TheUnfettered: Will do anything to get the truth.

!!! The White-Haired Man

* AffablyEvil
* BadassGrandpa
* EvilAlbino: Not really, but he's referred to as such.
* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]
* KnownOnlyByTheirNickname: Called the white-haired man for a while until his name is revealed [[spoiler:after his death. It's Gordon Murphy.]]
* [[spoiler: LukeIAmYourFather: Or ''step''-father, in this case.]]
* TheManBehindTheMan: Although it would seem that there are other men behind him, too.
* ProfessionalKiller
* SecretKeeper: As of the first season finale, he hasn't disclosed Emily's true identity to the Graysons.
* TheSpook
* [[spoiler: YouKilledMyFather: Killed David Clarke.]]

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Others]]

!!! Declan Porter
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: To Jack.
* DoggedNiceGuy: Towards Charlotte.
* [[spoiler:KillTheCutie]]
* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal: at the end of Season 2.]]
* MoralityPet: To everyone, especially Charlotte.
* OddFriendship: With Nolan.
* OnlySaneMan: Quite often.
* ParentalAbandonment: Jack and Declan Porter's mother abandoned her family when the boys were very young and they were raised by their father.
* PromotionToParent: He and Charlotte are the ones that take care of baby Carl Porter when Jack and Amanda are unable to, which happens more often when [[spoiler:Amanda dies and Jack goes after the Graysons]]. Ironic, considering that Jack had to do the same thing for him when their father passed away.

!!! Sammy

* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]
* {{Really 700 Years Old}}: At least in dog years.

!!! Satoshi Takeda

* BadassGrandpa
* TheChessmaster
* CorruptCorporateExecutive
* EvilMentor: And how! [[spoiler: He was raising Aiden and Amanda for his personal revengenda rather than helping them towards their own goals, and tried to kill Aiden when he tried to nudge Emily off her path.]]
* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal: By Aiden.]]
* ObfuscatingStupidity: He's perfectly fluent in English, but pretends not to speak a word so he can avoid talking to people.
* OldMaster

* TheyWereHoldingYouBack: His reason for [[spoiler:abducting Amanda and framing Daniel for murder]].

!!! Aiden Mathis

* AntiHero
* {{Badass}}
* BattleCouple: With Emily.
* BreakTheBadass: [[spoiler:Watching Emily return to Daniel while Aiden's still very much in love with Emily (despite the knowledge that she's in love with Aiden and is only using Daniel for appearance's sake) isn't sitting well with him. Finding out his sister's really been dead all these years gave him a BSOD that made him leave Emily on her own for a while. His realization that revenge doesn't bring any sort of fulfillment causes him to try and redirect Emily off the path of revenge, but she refuses his offer to run away with him. He's forced to kill Takeda, who was raising him and Emily to fight against the Initiative. He also might have been killed by Daniel in the Season 2 Finale.]]
* TheDragon: To Takeda and to a lesser extent Emily.
** DragonWithAnAgenda: No one really knows which side he is on.
* [[HeelRealization Heel...]][[SubvertedTrope er...]][[FaceRealization Face...? Realization]]: Him being neither a complete hero nor a complete villain makes him hard to classify what this is, but after [[spoiler:killing Trask]], Aiden realizes there's no fulfillment after revenge and thus tries to [[spoiler:push Emily towards abandoning her vendetta]] to save her from the emptiness that he himself is feeling.
* HeroicBSOD
* IdiotBall: Hitting the button that [[spoiler:releases Carrion onto the city cements his place as another fallguy for the Graysons/The Initiative and leads to him and Nolan getting arrested]] definitely qualifies as this...
* MeaningfulName: The name Aiden means 'protector,' which fits in well with his actions over the course of Season 2.
* SacrificialLamb: The Graysons plan on turning him into the next David Clarke.
* TallDarkAndHandsome

!!! Kara Wilkins Clarke Murphy

* {{Yandere}}

!!! The Ryan Brothers

* AxCrazy: Nate
* [[spoiler:HeroKiller: Nate's actions lead to the death of Amanda, leading Jack to join in on the revenge game...]]
