* HaplessSelfHelp: Jordan Chase is a wealthy and handsome motivational speaker who encourages people to grab hold of their lives and take control.

However, when Dexter tries to invoke this trope, Jordan is unfazed, simply stating that he's proud of how he rose above his circumstances.

* VisibleVictimology: The Barrel Girl Gang targets white blonde women to torture, rape, and kill. It's not clear if this is a pattern set by their first victim (Emily Birch, who they gang-raped, but who survived) or if she was merely an extension of this preexisting impulse.

* TheChessmaster: Easily able to manipulate people into serving his interests.interests - he's shown and noted, in-universe, to have a knack for getting into people's heads and getting what he wants out of them. This can be seen most clearly in his relationship with Emily Birch (whom he manipulated into thinking they have a "bond" and helping him despite his horrible crimes against her) and his actions after learning of Dexter and Lumen's RoaringRampageOfRevenge, when he manipulates the two of them and the police against each other, even "sacrificing a pawn" (by snitching on one of his cohorts) for it like he's playing chess.

* PoisonousFriend: Without his influence, the others (with the possible exception of Cole) probably wouldn't have gone on to become rapist superfriends. Of course, this doesn't mean they're any less monstrous. Not to mention that Jordan doesn't seem to care about any of them, being perfectly willing to sell them out to save himself. More than likely, he retains their company solely to derive gratification from wielding total control over their lives and being a figure of unquestioned idolization.
