In fact, I must emphasize that you don\'t see trope terms blatantly spelled out in most works, but we use them to describe characters in a said works anyway, so why is it CharacterAlignment terms are the odd man out?

Without the morality descriptor, describing a character as a Knight Templar doesn\'t explain if they are one for a good or evil cause. With a moral descriptor, we know the moral focus of their KnightTemplar behavoir, even if the reader of the decription has never seen the work, so it can be a useful primer for what the character of a work stands for a newcomer to whatever fandom they are from.

P.S.- Good point on the ChaoticEvil response above, but if the character fancies themself a morality and the story and in universe characters reveal said morality is otherwise, a good clarification would go like so:
* ChaoticEvil (He fancies himself a ChaoticGood freedom fighter against an evil empire, but his methods are so sadistic that even his allies feel he\\\'s a bloodthirsty monster compared to the ones they fight, and he also makes little secret of the fact that he is mostly fighting for the rebel cause because he wants an excuse to kill people)
