* AffectionateGestureToTheHead: Ward strokes Oreg's hair in an attempt to snap him out of a flashback, as the physical nature of Oreg's flashbacks means the top of his head is the only part of his body which isn't injured.

* WeakButSkilled: Ward's aunt Stala — relatively, as she's very strong and tall. She can beat Ward's father (who is a giant of a man) in everything, except wrestling, where raw strength is more important than skill. Unsurprisingly, Ward's siblings, who have been trained by Stala, are this, too. When he tells his sister to stay away from combat as no amount of skill could make up for her lack in strength (she's a female teenager, and a bit of a late bloomer)... she still hurts a man lethally. Ward himself is a GentleGiant, and also a skilled fighter, so more or less everyone who beats him is this trope, in comparison to him, at least.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: In ''Dragon Blood'', Ward grants a MercyKill to a bandit by putting a dagger through the base of his skull and into his brain. He notes it's the quickest and least painful way for someone with his strength to kill. [[spoiler:At the end of the book, when Oreg begs for his own death, Ward kills him in exactly the same way.]]
Added DiffLines:
* MercyKill: Ward does this for a bandit stabbed through the stomach by Ciarra, knowing that the wound can't be treated and will kill him slowly and painfully if he's left alive.
