It is absolutly unforgivable!"

- Ultimate Job Security: His "Ultimate" fate after the fiasco of his fight with Brian. The Princess who employed him wants to get rid of him, but doing so would mean admitting she made a mistake, which her pride won't allow her to.

Gordon orders Mordon to shoot Abel with his bow, which he reluctantly does, only for Abel to overpower him with a Razor Wind, smashing his bow and the trees around him, but leaving him unharmed. Then he points his wand at a downed Gordon, deflecting his earlier threat at him.
- The two end up doing this to Gaston when they went to retrieve the money for Abel. Gordon kept pulling feint attacks on Gaston while he kept swinging his big sword with one hand, driving him back until Mordon jumped to Gaston's feet and pulled him down for both brothers to give him a beatdown.

- Entitled to Have You: Non-romantic example. Gordon tries to talk Mea into joining him and his brother in adventuring to help them get results, whether she likes it or not. He also seems oblivious to how uncomfortable he's making her feel, even when she's scared stiff and unable to stand without leaning on Abel.

- Mistaken For Couple: Gordon's chastises Mordon, when he asked Abel why he'd have Mea tag along and hunt with him if he's so powerful with magic to hunt by himself, by stating that they must be lovers, seeing how close they are.

- Motivated by Fear: Abel entrusts them with handing the Balm Birds to Gaston AND getting the reward money from him. When he tells them not to disappear with the money, Gordon's response:Gordon: “Don’t worry, I won’t take any chances with that kind of danger”.

Are these two demons?
- Recruiting the Criminal: Abel has them act as middle men between him a Gaston, which was needed since Gaston does try to cheat him out of his money on the first time, and they offer to track and get him to pay it back.
- The Social Darwinist: Gordon claims to believes in 'Survival of the Fittest' and challenges Abel to "test if he's qualified for adventuring". If Abel wins, he keeps Mea. If he loses, Gordon won't kill him, but he'll leave him battered he'll never be an adventurer again. This also how he justifies forcing Mea into joining them, since he thinks Abel can't defend her. Subverted once Abel defeats him, as he quickly folds and confesses that all his talk about hurting Abel was just a bluff to scare him off, and him ordering Mordon to shoot Abel was because he thought the latter was really going to kill him.
- Undying Loyalty: When Gaston threaten them with his sword to dissuade them from getting Abel's money, they both team up on him, despite his threats. They succeed.

- Would Hurt a Child: Threatens Abel with bodily-harm when he stood up for Mea, and passes off the idea of crippling him as an accident that could happens to adventurers any day. Subverted as it was a bluff to scare Abel.

Charlotte made a handout to the Adventurer Support Center to have him jump ranks before scouting him. Why do all of this? So she could unveil him in the arena and use his fame to boost her image, and her Pride made her refuse to install an adventurer of a rank lower than her brothers' captains' ranks as captain.
- Gone Horribly Right: Her gambit of using Gaston somehow worked and Prince Alphonse's chances to the throne plummeted. However, she'll have to contend with a Fake Ultimate Hero who no longer could claim someone else's work to himself, stuck in a job above his abilities, and will have to spin her Propaganda Machine to make him look like the "Legendary Hero" she made him out to be.
- Horrible Judge of Character: Subverted.
