* [[AwesomeMcCoolName Awesome McCool Name]]: Dragonbane.
* [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice: Dies killing a dragon moments before it would have killed Archeth instead. He rips out the creature's throat, bathing himself in a lethal spray of acidic blood and venom.]]
* OddFriendship: With both Archeth and Ringil, given his comparatively rougher and less philosophical outlook.
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Displays a certain level of disdain for Ringil’s sexuality, although they nonetheless formed a strong bond as comrades during the war against the ScaledFolk, and it holds [[spoiler: until both of them die.]]

* TheParanoiac / ProperlyParanoid: Jihral is quick to suspect his subjects of disloyalty, but quite a few nobles indeed wish to depose him.
* TortureTechnician: Employs some rather creative executioners.

* RapeAsBackstory: Gang-raped by a group of senior students at the Trelayne Academy during adolescence. His attackers justified it partly as a shared initiation ritual, and partly by mocking [[NotIfTheyEnjoyedItRationalization Ringil's orientation]]. He only brings it up a handful of times in the series proper, but the event severely damaged his relationship with his younger brother (who walked away instead of helping him), and it likely contributed to his cynicism for his society at large.

* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: His emotional senses are much keener than Egar's, although his capacity for violence is just as high, if not greater.
* StraightGay

* {{Antihero}}: Generally the most compassionate of the three main characters, but she can still be extremely violent under the right circumstances.

* {{Antihero}}: Generally the most compassionate of the three main characters, but she carries a murderous temper all the same.

* StraightGay:
* TokenGoodTeammate: Alongside Egar and Ringil. She's still an {{Antihero}}, but she's comparatively gentler and hasn't given up hope on improving her society, instead of losing herself in revenge like her companions.

* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Displays a certain level of disdain for Ringil’s sexuality, although they nonetheless formed a strong bond as comrades during the war, and it holds [[spoiler: until both of them die.]]

* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. He has keener emotional senses than Egar, but his capacity for violence is just as high, if not greater.

* {{Antihero}}: Generally the most compassionate member of the trio, but still capable of great brutality when someone threatens or pushes her too far.

* {{Antihero}}

* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: He appears to hold a certain level of disdain for Ringil’s sexuality, although they managed to form a strong bond as comrades regardless.

* RapeAsBackstory: Gang-raped by a group of senior students at the Trelayne Academy as an initiation ritual. His attackers justify it partly as a way to bond over their shared shame, and partly because of [[NotIfTheyEnjoyedItRationalization Ringil's orientation]]. He survives without hospitalization, unlike some initiates, but it leaves him seriously injured for several weeks.

* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Expresses some disdain for Ringil and Imrana on the basis of their sexuality and gender, respectively, although he doesn’t flat-out dehumanize them like other characters.

* FunctionalAddict: Addicted to krinzanz, a fictional stimulant and hallucinogen. She spends most of the series either high on it or suffering cravings and withdrawls. [[spoiler: The Warhelm’s healing appears to cure her in the third novel.]]

* TheBerserker:

* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Expresses some disdain for Ringil and Imrana on the basis of their sexuality and gender, respectively, although he doesn’t flat-out dehumanize them like others in the series.

* PayEvilUntoEvil: Practically a defining trait.
* ProtagonistJourneyToVillain: Not a villain, ''per se'', but his battles against the slavers and the dwenda take a toll on his morality.

A highly skilled human swordsman who led a now-legendary battle against the Scaled Folk and helped lift the siege of the city of Trelayne. A StraightGay, which is something of a problem in the distinctly intolerant League, although as Ringil points out ''"You don't go queer baiting when your victim has a reputation of chopping trained swordsmen into dogmeat at the drop of a hat"''

* {{Antihero}}: Starts as an UnscrupulousHero, and becomes progressively more brutal as the series continues.

* {{Antihero}}: Starts as an UnscrupulousHero, but gets progressively more brutal as the series continues.
