* CorruptChurch: More like ‘corrupt monastery’. In Pagan’s Crusade, Pagan discovers [[spoiler: that one or two of the priests are involved in blackmail. He also ferrets out a child molester among the priests.]] But many of the other occupants of the monastery, including Pagan’s fellow novices and the [[spoiler: abbot]], are shown to be good people who sincerely believe in their way of life.

* TheStoic: Subverted with Roland when he has a rather emotional CrisisofFaith a few times in the series. Strays into StoicWoobie territory after the first half of Pagan's Crusade.

* LonersAreFreaks: Played straight at the beginning of PS - this is how those around him see him because of his [[spoiler: epileptic seizures, which he has been shamed into believing it's a "devil" possessing him.]] Later subverted.

Shrewd, snarky sixteen-year-old orphan and street urchin Pagan Kidrouk enters UsefulNotes/TheKnightsTemplar in twelfth-century Jerusalem, seeking work as a squire. He finds himself assigned to Lord Roland Roucy de Bram, an excessively stoic and chivalrous knight whom Pagan nicknames "Saint George". As the book progresses, Pagan discovers the human being behind Roland's apparently emotionless exterior. He and Roland become unlikely friends, and Pagan remains fiercely loyal to the knight throughout the series.
