The Evil Albino trope is being cut per the Trope Repair Shop for rampant misuse and ZC Es.


* EvilAlbino: It comes with being a Castithan, and bonus points to Madis for being especially evil to the point where he disgusts even Datak Tarr.



* EvilAlbino: While all Castithans look similar to human albinos, Rahm is tied with Kindzi as the most openly vicious and sadistic individual seen in the series.

Badass is no longer a trope.


* {{Badass}}: Madis might not be a great physical fighter, but he has nerves of steel and his cunning makes him lethal.



* {{Badass}}: Comes with being the leader of the Spirit Riders. He leads them into battle against the Volge.
** BadassBeard: A Van Dyke beard.
** BadassBoast: A quiet one. When Amanda asks him to stop provoking people and assimilate into Defiance, he agrees... then says that when the city inevitably turns on his people, they'll know where all the food and weapons are kept, and fight back ''much'' more effectively than last time.

* {{Badass}}: Gorath has a high tolerance for pain and shows no fear.



* {{Badass}}: Rahm Tak's most skilled soldier. [[spoiler: In his final fight, he manages to shoot Alak, take on Nolan and Irisa at the same time, and find time to toss an explosive into the tunnel and eliminate the entire Defiance strike force. He would have successfully slashed Nolan's throat if Irisa hadn't powered through her wound.]]

* DecapitationPresentation: He keeps severed human heads on display in his camp, and later [[spoiler:sends his wife's head back to the VC after killing her]].



* SlasherSmile: Wears one [[AxCrazy quite often]], but special mention goes to when he [[spoiler:orders his men to slaughter hostages in the [=NeedWant=].]]

* LongLived: The Omec naturally live for quite a long time, and by the time he appears in the series, T'evgin's age can be measured by centuries.



* CreepyBlueEyes: Most Omec have light blue eyes, but they're especially creepy on Kindzi.



* FantasticRacism: Kindzi sees humans and the other Votan races as little more than animals for the Omec to enslave or devour.



* FinalBoss: [[spoiler:For both season 3 and the entire series.]]



* NeverMyFault: Blames Earth's influence for [[spoiler:T'evgin's HeelFaceTurn and his death at her hands]].

* MoralMyopia: [[spoiler:When Nolan tries to stop the Omec army from waking up, Kindzi describes this as "murder". Kindzi has a pretty steep bodycount in her own right, and she was planning to use this army to conquer Earth.]]

Added DiffLines:

* GoodScarsEvilScars: Some decidedly evil ones on his left cheek.



* {{Jerkass}}: Even without the whole "AxCrazy genocidal psychopath" thing, Rahm Tak is a huge dick, which he cheerfully demonstrates by taunting Alak about [[spoiler:his dead wife]].

* NotSoDifferent: Turns out, he and Nolan both love Music/JohnnyCash.



* PopCulturedBadass: Despite his genocidal hatred for humans, he really likes human popular culture, even cheerfully quoting a Music/JohnnyCash song while talking to Datak. In fact, Rahm likes human culture so much, he wants the Votans to assimilate it after he wipes out humanity in his own twisted view of manifest destiny.



* RogueAgent: [[spoiler:It's eventually revealed that the VC only sent him on a scouting mission. The mission to destroy Defiance is him acting on his own initiative]].

Added DiffLines:

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: She's last seen on a train to an unknown location, with only a few months left to live. This is the last we see of her, but her future doesn't look bright.


Added DiffLines:

* BadassBaritone: T'evgin has an impressively deep voice that emphasises both his badassery and his intellect.
* BaldOfEvil[=/=]BaldOfAwesome: T'evgin is bald, and he plans on conquering Earth [[spoiler:before pulling a HeelFaceTurn and becoming an ally to Defiance]].


Added DiffLines:

* TheJuggernaut: The Omec become StrongerWithAge, and by the time he shows up, T'evgin is all but unstoppable. Even after being [[spoiler:drained of his blood continuously for several days]], he's still more than a match for [[spoiler:Kindzi, who only kills him with a cowardly trick]].


Added DiffLines:

* PetTheDog: [[spoiler:Saves a human family from Rahm Tak's infiltrators. T'evgin had previously made it clear that he didn't consider the conflict with Rahm Tak to be his problem, and Tak's soldiers posed no threat to him, so he had no motive for this than simple kindness]].


Added DiffLines:

* BadBoss: [[spoiler:One of Kindzi's lieutenants questions her, so she slashes his throat and forces some other Omec to eat his corpse]].


Added DiffLines:

* DirtyCoward: After being [[spoiler:subdued by T'evgin, she begs for mercy and promises to obey him, then stabs him in the throat when he forgives her and lets his guard down]].
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Trying to eat Nolan immediately after waking him up from stasis.
* EvilIsPetty:
** Stabs a child in the eye with a stick because he was poking her with it.
** Pretty much everything she does to Stahma is out of simple jealousy. Kindzi is even willing to [[spoiler:eat Stahma's grandson right in front of her]], just to spite Stahma.
** While she already hated Stahma, Kindzi later decides to spite Datak (who gave her a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech) by [[spoiler:hunting down and trying to kill Stahma]].
* FangsAreEvil: In Kindzi's case, definitely.
* FauxAffablyEvil: On the rare occasion that she bothers to be polite or personable, it's completely fake.


Added DiffLines:

* TheJuggernaut: [[spoiler:After assuming T'evgin's strength; a sniper bullet just pisses her off, and being impaled through the head just leaves her pinned for a while. It takes being torn apart by the engines of her ship to finally kill Kindzi]].


Added DiffLines:

* NeverMyFault: Blames Earth's influence for [[spoiler:T'evgin's HeelFaceTurn and his death at her hands]].


Added DiffLines:

* {{Sadist}}: It's made ''very'' clear over the course of her appearances that Kindzi greatly enjoys killing and inflicting pain. The most vivid examples of this are [[spoiler:breeding clones of Yewll just to hunt and savagely kill, moving on to citizens of Defiance when this gets boring, and her ordering an enslaved Yewll to impale her own hand with a pickaxe]].


Added DiffLines:

* VillainessesWantHeroes: [[spoiler:Kidnaps Nolan from a VC convoy just because she finds him attractive. Once he sees through [[BlatantLies her story]] about working with Irisa to rescue him, however she changes her plans to simply eating him.]]


Added DiffLines:

* WouldHurtAChild: Impales a boy through the eye because he poked her with a stick, and later [[spoiler:tries to eat baby Luke just to spite Stahma]].

* [[CrazyJealousGuy Crazy Jealous Girl]]: CrazyJealousGuy: Once Stahma starts hanging around, she takes every opportunity to terrorize her.her.
* FreudianExcuse: T'evgin raised her on tales of bloodshed and promises of revenge against the Votan races, barely even touching on the Omec's rich history of science and culture. This provides a subversion of the standard "Child betrays their racist, evil parent" trope. T'evgin is hundreds of years old; a few decades of hatred aren't that much to him, and fade away when he sees what the Votans and humans have accomplished on Earth. But Kindzi's entire life was filled with nothing but thoughts of bloody conquest.
-->'''Nolan:''' What's she want?\\
'''T'evgin:''' Conquest. It is what I promised her. Tales of revenge and bloodshed as bedtime stories... I fear I have failed as a father.\\
'''Nolan:''' Yeah, well, we all make mistakes.
