* ThouShaltNotKill: Expert difficulty reveals Garrett's true nature. He's a professional thief, not an amateur, and certainly not a mass-murderer. Though if need be, he can be pragmatic enough to kill depending on the situation, including giving Lotus a MercyKill, mercy killing all the [[AndIMustScream Masked Servants]] by the end of the Metal Age, setting things up to kill the Trickster and Karras in a stealthy roundabout way, and killing sapient [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman Chaos Beasts]].

* ThouShaltNotKill: Enforced by Expert difficulty reveals Garrett's true nature. He's which will outright fail you if you resort to murder. Even outside of that, he's characterized as a professional thief, not an amateur, and certainly not a mass-murderer. Though if need be, he can be pragmatic enough to kill depending on the situation, including giving Lotus a MercyKill, mercy killing all the [[AndIMustScream Masked Servants]] by the end of the Metal Age, setting things up to kill the Trickster and Karras in a stealthy roundabout way, and killing sapient [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman Chaos Beasts]].

* ArcherArchetype: Besides his blackjack, he's never seen without his bow. Creatively enough, as a PhantomThief, he prefers to use the bow as more of a tool for launching {{Trick Arrow}}s, rather than as an offensive weapon.



* JustLikeRobinHood: Cynically inverted most of the time, since he is willing to rob equally from the rich ''and'' the poor (though the rich have more stuff, obviously). On the other hand, he's less contemptuous for those in poverty and dislikes seeing them suffer on the whim of the upper-classes. On a visual level, being a hooded ArcherArchetype helps.

* ArcherArchetype: Noticeably averted and absent in the whole series. The Hammerites seem to favour melee combat over ranged, at least in the case of guards that protect the buildings and establishments of their church.



* ArcherArchetype: With a bow largely identical to other archer guard {{Non Player Character}}s in ''Deadly Shadows''.



* ArcherArchetype: Averted. However, this is pretty justified, given that most Keepers reside in the interiors of secret compounds. There wouldn't be much room for archers to shoot.



* ArcherArchetype: The ranged guard units of the City Watch.



* ArcherArchetype: The guards that are armed with bows.

* TheAce: Garrett was considered to be this in the field of stealth among the Keepers, thought to be their most promising student before his departure from their ranks, as well as by many in the field of independent professional thievery in his criminal life out in the City. His numerous often extremely difficult jobs, heists and accomplishments through the series only prove it beyond a doubt, and all the competition and enemies he racks up, gets the better of and survives in such a dangerous profession and place like the City.

* DropTheHammer: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Shocking, we know.]]



* DropTheHammer: And you better believe they're ready to strike you with their powerful warhammers once they find you sneaking around the premises... though the Hammer Warriors (including knights) that serve alongside The City's standing military also use swords and other weapons, Hammerite brothers assigned as Temple Guards always wield exclusively hammers and no other weapons.

* ItHasBeenAnHonor: [[spoiler:To Garrett in ''The Metal Age'', after she realizes her plan backfired and the only way she can give them them a fighting chance against the main villain is to sacrifice herself by tearing herself to pieces, covering the surroundings with plants. As usual, Garrett doesn't approve of her move and is furious, but he's powerless to stop her. The moment just before Viktoria commits suicide is followed by [[HowlOfSorrow Garrett's only anguished scream]] heard in the entire series.]]
