- Token Evil Teammate: More neutral than evil, but certainly less heroic than the others.
- "Well Done, Son" Guy: Though it's more vitriolic than the usual instances of this trope, Pocket wishes to prove to his late father that Pocket is superior to him. At least, that's what he'd have you believe. In reality, he wishes to resurrect his family.
