Only Known by Their Nickname: His real name is never mentioned by the third-person narrator. It's finally revealed to the reader in '"The Monarch of the Glen''.
Smarter than he looks: Everyone asumes he's just a big dumb guy until he starts talking.
Unfazed Everyman: He takes it rather calmly that there are tons of deities all all around him. Makes sense since he is one himself, so he isn't a pure example of the trope.
Vegetarian Vampire: Gets his powers from sacrificial murders, but after his followers dried up, he worked at a slaughterhouse rather than becoming a Serial Killer.
Agent Mulder: Delivers an amazing and lengthy monologue to Shadow about all the things she believes in to get him to open up to her.
Badass Normal: Faces Mr. Town and Mr. World, and not only does she refuse to tell them anything about Shadow, she makes fun of their names. She also hitchhikes with Shadow, who's kind of scary before you get to know him.
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Even when she was alive Laura was not as nice as she seemed. But she really does love Shadow which keeps her on the sympathetic side of the trope.
Lady Macbeth: Seems Shadow's involvement in the robbery that got him in prison was her idea.
Manic Pixie Dream Girl: Deconstructed. Because of that personality, she cheated on Shadow with her best friend's husband while he was in the clink. She also puts on the MPDG act to charm Mr. Town before gruesomely killing him.
