- Happily Adopted: Subverted, he was only fostered not adopted but he genuinely loved his foster family and was devasted when he failed to protect them.
- Hidden Backup Prince: The reason he was fostered out. His oldest brother and father ignored family custom and both fought in the same war. Cue Rydstrom inheriting and deciding that the customs to keep their family on the throne have to be followed. Subverted as everyone knew of his existence and Omort even knew where he was.
- My Greatest Failure: Double whammy of failing to protect his foster family from Omort's army and failing to protect the throne helping to lose the kingdom to Omort.

- Red Baron: Cadeon the Kingmaker, he can take any throne except for the one he lost.
- Spare to the Throne: Originally the third son he was a toddler when his father and oldest brother were killed meaning he was the spare to the spare. Rydstrom was fully grown when he inherited. If it weren't for all the lost my brother's throne guilt, he'd be pretty happy with his life as the spare.
- Stalker with a Crush: To Holly, before he discovers she a Valkyrie. Even he realises how creepy it is. He just can't stop himself.
