* OpenMindedParent : She's mostly off screen, but it's clear from her brief appearances that she takes most things in stride. She was herself a member of an interracial marriage thirty years ago.

* BadassFamily : They are all werewolves.
* TheBigGuy : Ignacio (Iggy) is an alpha, meaning he's theoretically on the same level as Matthias. However, Iggy is about 70 years younger and lacks Matthias's combat training
* BilingualBonus : Iggy can be very foul-mouthed in Spanish. Adam occasionally responds by being just as foul in French.

* DefeatMeansFriendship : Adam delivered a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown to Iggy. The next time Iggy appears in the story, he and Adam are clearly good friends and joke around with each other.
* GratuitousSpanish : English is not Iggy's first language, and he often peppers his speech with Spanish.
* GoodFeelsGood : Adam may pay them well, but Iggy flat out states the major reason he works for Adam is that he likes being one of the good guys.
* HeroOfAnotherStory : They've been running around handling various small time villains while the story focuses on the main characters
* TheSmurfettePrinciple : The only girl in their number appears to be Felipa.
* TheIllegal : It's suggested none of them are in the US legally, though given how much money Adam has been paying them it's possible they've fixed this problem already.
* UndyingLoyalty : Iggy is willing to follow Adam into very dangerous situations, even calling him 'brother'.

* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil : Went through a bit of this

* CorruptTheCutie : Was subjected to this, though it bordered on JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope

* DumbBlonde : Though she's more arrogant and thoughtless than actually stupid

* EntitledToHaveYou : Is this way toward Adam
* LackOfEmpathy : She's so fascinated at having figured out how to shift Adam that she ignores his begging her not to do it and his screams of agony to try it out

* MindRape : It's hinted she's been unconsciously doing this to people since she was twelve.
* PetTheDog : She occasionally makes loving and affectionate gestures toward Adam, though they border on BaitTheDog. It's possible on some level she really does love him.

* TheSociopath : She claims to love Adam and to want whats best for him. What's best for him appears to be his complete subjugation to her.
* StartOfDarkness : Is on hers

* SuicidalOverconfidence : She is so confident in her power she doesn't bother to read reports or research her targets. [[spoiler: This gets her shot in the head by Stasya, as it means Wren doesn't know Stephan cancels out magic in his vicinity]]

* BigBrotherInstinct : Despite actually being younger, he has this toward Ash, noting that Ash's issues make him rather childlike in some ways. He also has it toward his own little sister, and the impetus for his BodyguardBetrayal is learning the Cabal is going to go after her.
* ClaimedByTheSupernatural : He can be turned into a person-puppet by the talisman
* TheDogBitesBack : Turned into a rattlesnake and bit Sima in the mouth
* DontMakeMeDestroyYou : Regularly reminds his FriendlyEnemy that its better if they don't trust him
* ForcedIntoEvil : Doesn't like a lot of the things he's been made to do over the years
* HalfHumanHybrid : His power set is noted to be impossible, leading some to conclude that Adam may not be fully human.
* HappilyAdopted : Unbeknownst to him, he was this. The man he thinks of as his father is actually his uncle, and he has no biological relationship to the woman he thinks of as his mother.
* HeroAntagonist : Makes sure Ash understands that it's NothingPersonal , but if he has to fight the crew he won't be pulling punches despite being their [[InsideJob inside man in Wren]] and they should never assume they are safe around him.
* ImplacableMan : Can power through a lot of pain and it's suggested that due to a combination of his power and the talisman he's pretty close to invulnerable
* IronWoobie : Poor Adam cannot catch a break. He's also something of a StoicWoobie , and is starting to show some DeathSeeker tendencies despite suffering from ICannotSelfTerminate . He flat out tells Laura that for him the best case scenario is a TakingYouWithMe scenario.
* LadyAndKnight : Has some of the dark version with Wren
* LoveMakesYouEvil : Was starting down this path with Wren. [[spoiler: Until Sima manipulated Wren into making Adam kill Patrick]]
* MindControl : Wren can take full control over him, and if she gives him an order he has no choice but to follow it. Even using ExactWords takes a physical toll on him
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal : He was in love with Wren, and had she been kind to him it's likely he would have been completely loyal to her
* NowThatsUsingYourTeeth : Takes out an alpha werewolf by turning into a great white shark

* RequiredSecondaryPowers : Appears to have some of these
* ShipTease : He and Laura dance and kiss, and he asks her to hold on to his recently acquired TragicKeepsake for him.
* SpannerInTheWorks : Ironically, his turning against Wren and Sima may have prevented the BadassCrew from rescuing him from Wren and Sima.
* ThrowEmToTheWolves : [[spoiler: Does this to Sima, with werewolves]]
* UsedToBeASweetKid : He still tries to do the right thing, or as much of the right thing as he can get away with

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs : Firm believer in this trope.
* FaceOfAThug : Though not considered ugly, Patrick is noted to have one

* FamilyOfChoice : Formed one with Adam, along with Stasya
* ForgottenFallenFriend : Averted. His death is still clearly affecting Stasya and Adam.
* HiddenDepths : He's a professional mercenary. He and Adam bond over a love of Impressionist artwork.
* KilledOffForReal : His ghost is hanging around in an afterlife strip joint.
* ProfessionalKiller : As nice a guy as he is when off the clock, on the clock he's world class sniper and took out at least one werewolf.
* TragicBromance : Adam and Patrick have shades of one

* TheBigBadWolf : Not the most powerful werewolf certainly, but is effectively this for the story

* MoreThanMindControl : How she makes her 'pets'

* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil : She is a rapist

* BadassNormal : No magical powers, and is good enough that Ryuu Ishi of all people makes a point of recruiting her.
* EvenMooksHaveLovedOnes : It's clear that had Patrick survived to ask her if she wanted to make their relationship official her response would have been yes.
* GratuitousRussian : Only when she's really off her game, like when she learns the guy she's holding at gunpoint is a dragon
* HeartbrokenBadass : Loses the man she was falling in love with and is parted from her surrogate son
* HitmanWithAHeart : Positions her apartment so she can keep an eye on Adam's family
* FamilyOfChoice : Formed one with Adam, alongside Patrick
* FemmeFatale : Adam notes that even though she's old enough to be his mother he still caught himself starring when she dressed up
* ShipTease : Developing an interest in Stephan, though that seems to be in some part due to him acting as Adam's guardian.
* TheOnlyOneITrust : Adam states Stasya is this to him
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill : [[spoiler: After treating Wren to a BoomHeadshot with a special bullet, she throws in an extra DoubleTap for good measure]]
* LaserGuidedKarma : Dishes some out on occasion. Ryuu finds it amusing.
* MamaBear : Adam's nickname for Stasya. It fits

* AdmiringTheAbomination : Thinks Lykos and Jormun are awesome because they are monsters rather than in spite of them being monsters. She's also dating a werewolf.
* FluffyTamer : Befriends Jormungandr the world serpent and nicknames him Santa
* GreenThumb : Her power involves the ability to grow plants
* JumpedAtTheCall : Eager to use her powers to fight the good fight. Ryuu guides her toward a less flashy but ultimately more useful course of action
* NatureHero : Assists the dragons with bringing back dryads. [[spoiler: Implying that every single member of the most powerful group in the world now owes Coraline a favor.]]

* DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu : Has lunch with Ryuu and the two of them seem to have an honest and genuine friendship
* DoingItForTheArt : Runs a children's art museum for Ryuu
* GirlFriday : For Ryuu, at least when it comes to artwork. He sends her as his representative and provides her with an unlimited credit card.
* ItRunsInTheFamily : Though she actually has no biological relationship to Adam, it's very clear where he got his love of art.

* FamilyMan : Not quite badass enough to be a PapaWolf
* InnateNightVision : His magical power
* {{Nephewism}} : He is Adam's uncle, not his father, a secret he has kept Adam's entire life.

* GoingForTheBigScoop : Manages to land a big interview her first week on the job
* IntrepidReporter : Newly embarking on a career as one
* IntroductionByHookup : Introduced when Michaels picks her up at a bar almost at random and they end up hitting it off
* ProperLady : Ezekiel claims the reason he granted her the interview was that of all the requests, hers was the only one that included both 'please' and 'thank you'.
* SecretKeeper : Realizes she can't tell the story she's just been given to anyone. Her acceptance of this definitely seems to be part of why Jormun lets her live.
* StartingANewLife : Hooking up with Michaels was apparently just one of her first stops on the way to this
* SympathyForTheDevil : Is clearly starting to sympathize with Zeke

* AffablyEvil : He's in jail and everyone is scared of him, but he's very polite to Diana
* BewareTheNiceOnes : Has thus far in the story been nothing but a ridiculously nice guy, but it's clear he's in jail for a reason
* BlackAndNerdy : And took a lot of crap for it when he was in school
* TheDogBitesBack : Going for a BreakTheCutie on a MadScientist was probably not the best idea Paden and his friends ever had.
* GadgeteerGenius : Was an inventor

* FaceHeelTurn : At the point when it happens, it's almost hard to blame him.
* FrameUp : His StartOfDarkness was seeing his lover raped and tortured in front of him, then being convicted of the assault
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope : Though to be fair, it was more like he was pushed.
* MadScientist : Tobias jokingly calls him one, but it appears that Zeke actually is witch whose power is to make things work that wouldn't ordinarily.
* OmnidisciplinaryScientist : His specific field is never stated, but as he successfully creates a 'cyborg', it's clear he has some medical understanding in addition to electrical engineering and other fields. However, the fact that nobody else can duplicate his work hints that there might be something else going on.
* SafeSaneAndConsensual : Part of his issues are his guilt at feeling he failed his lover on the 'safe' part by allowing himself to be distracted
* ScaryBlackMan : By the time Diana meets him he's made himself over into one, possibly as a defense mechanism after going to prison

* ThenLetMeBeEvil : He tried to do things the right way, but they wouldn't let him.
* UsedToBeASweetKid : Though currently in jail for murder and obviously considered extremely dangerous, it's clear he used to be a very nice person. Then again, he is the one telling the story.
* WhatTheHellHero : His quest for revenge results in a lot of collateral damage, including at least one entire office full of people just to send a message.

* ArmoredClosetGay : Until Zeke became his ClosetKey
* BenevolentBoss : Apparently was one, according to various testimonies.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath : Diana is getting to know him by interviewing the person apparently responsible for his death
* {{Cyborg}} : [[spoiler: Zeke didn't kill him. Zeke rebuilt him. Depending on how much of him was replaced, he may be more of a RidiculouslyHumanRobots]]
* DumbJock : Averted. He reminds Zeke that he sat behind him during the advanced placement classes and can follow along with Zeke's explanations

* JerkJock : Admits to being one, but TookALevelInKindness and grew out of it
* NiceGuy : Granted, the person telling the story is clearly biased, but it seems Tobias was one of these
* NiceToTheWaiter : What separates him from the rest of his family

* SecretRelationship : Asked Zeke to keep their relationship secret
* SouthernGentleman : Is from the south, polite, and from a well to do family
* {{Uke}} : At first glance he's the more traditionally masculine of the two, but in their relationship he's the shy and submissive partner.
* WideEyedIdealist : According to Zeke, Tobias really bought into the 'for the betterment of mankind' part of what they were doing

* AbsentMindedProfessor : Only when he's stoned
* CoolTeacher : His students clearly adore him. Apparently, he even babysits for the gang on occasion.
* EruditeStoner : He's an archaeologist and history professor who gives good advice to Laura and Adam. He also apparently enjoys a spot of marijuana from time to time.
* FirstNameBasis : After they get high together, Magda starts calling him Tomer.
* NonActionGuy : Though he is noted to be a skilled fencer.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure : Willing to help out and make sure the weird portions of the gang's lives don't interfere too much with their abilities to get an education.
* SternTeacher : Doesn't go into this mode often, but when he raises his voice even the likes of Khait tend to shut up and listen.
* TraumaInducedAmnesia : Okay, maybe trauma is a strong word, but a wish by Bridget makes him forget all his interactions with Khait. This is probably a good thing.
* UnfazedEveryman : Takes the insanity surrounding the crew fairly well, given the circumstances
* WeirdnessMagnet : Gets kidnapped by Laura and Adam. Has werewolves randomly show up at his house. Khait likes him. The poor guy is doomed.

* AscendedDemon : After he nearly committed a heroic sacrifice, his wings changed to become more angelic.
* BeenThereShapedHistory : Denies having been responsible for the fall of Rome. Blamed that on the dwarves.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass : It's occasionally easy to forget that this guy is a full on demon
* CurseEscapeClause : Thought he had one, only to discover his new mistress is immune to his powers due to being 100% lesbian
* EvenTheGuysWantHim : His powers are not limited to working on women. Any man with the slightest bit of bisexuality or homosexuality is just as vulnerable.
* ExpositionFairy : Cares a lot less about maintaining the 'masquerade' than others, so tends to drop a lot of information rather casually during conversation. Given that he is apparently older than the human race, he has a lot of information to drop.
* FallenAngel : Being a true demon means he was once an angel. He does not like talking about it.
* {{Fetish}} : He's an Incubus, who instinctively knows what people want sexually and is generally willing to go along.
* FishOutOfTemporalWater : Catches up quickly, but still runs into trouble with the modern world due to having been sealed up for the past five or six centuries.
* HeroicComedicSociopath : Tosses a guy out of an airplane a couple miles up for hitting on Bridget. Put sharks in a pool to kill a child molester then finished him off with a tiger when that didn't work. Is deeply offended at the low quality of the illegal pot Professor Kravitz is buying and improves it dramatically.
* KissOfDeath : As an incubus, he can apparently drain life energy with a kiss
* LadykillerInLove : Admits to being in love with Abigail. Also occasionally responds to Bridget bossing him around with a playful 'love you, too'.
* LaserGuidedKarma : He is cursed because he made a dragon very angry with his antics.

* NobleDemon : Becomes this under the influence of Abigail and Bridget
* SexMagic : Draws his power from sex and ambient lust
* SummonMagic : It doesn't appear he can actually create anything. He has to teleport it from elsewhere and then can modify it somewhat in the process.
* ThePornomancer : He is an Incubus.

* ActionGirl : Doesn't hesitate to leap into the fray and instead of wringing her hands she picks up a gun and is clearly prepared to use it.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys : Noting how dangerous Khait is tends to just increase her attraction.
* BewareTheNiceOnes : Upon learning about Wren, Abigail sums the situation up rather succinctly.

* ButIWouldReallyEnjoyIt : Really wants to throw Khait down on the bed but knows it's probably a very bad idea
* ChastityCouple : Tries to be this with Khait. Fails miserably.

* EvenTheGirlsWantHer : Playfully encourages Bridget's occasional tendency to ogle her.
* HotScientist : Grad student archeologist
* InterspeciesRomance : Her lover is an Incubus
* LoopholeAbuse : Perfectly willing to go around Bridget's rules lawyering to take advantage of the fact Khait is essentially a genie.
* MilitaryBrat : Still has her father's gun and is perfectly willing to use it
* PlatonicLifePartners : She and Bridget have this kind of relationship
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend : Not that Khait really needs it, but she is definitely willing to use violence on his behalf.

* BewareTheNiceOnes : Sweet, strong sense of ethics, overall nice person, and may have beaten a man to death without hesitation for messing with her friend
* DamselInDistress : Needs rescue a few times, but it's worth noting that when it ends up being her friends in danger, she goes full on ActionGirl BadassBookworm without hesitation.
* EatingTheEyeCandy : Occasionally ogles Abigail. Abigail doesn't mind at all.

* HypocriticalHeartwarming : Bosses Khait around constantly. Gets extremely pissed when anyone else tries it.

* ObstructiveBureaucrat : Doesn't let Khait get away with much, to his frustration.
* PlatonicLifePartners : With Abigail
* RestrainingBolt : The ring she wears can function as one for Khait, if Bridget wills.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality : His ideas on right and wrong don't always mesh with society's.
* DisproportionateRetribution : Surprisingly averted. He's certainly willing, but can be convinced toward mercy
* LastOfHisKind : Dwarves are thought to be extinct. It's possible the only reason Lykos survived is he part dragon.
* LimaSyndrome : Becomes very possessive of 'his Christophe' to the point that his rage at Guerin is starting to have more to do with how the man wronged Christophe rather than how Guerin tortured Lykos himself

* MenAreTough : Is quite contemptuous of how 'soft' Christophe is
* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame : Averts. He blames pixies for the untrue stereotypes about dwarves
* TerseTalker : Tends to not bother with words he finds unnecessary and is very blunt

* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu : Bordering on BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu. He breaks his hand punching Jormun in the face, but the act clearly won him some respect from the friggin World Serpent himself.
* DistressedDude : Is taken captive by Lykos and has generally been tied up, handcuffed, or chained ever since
* HappinessInSlavery : Stays with Lykos as much because of this as because he realizes he functions as a MoralityChain to Lykos.
* {{Nepotism}} : Received his position because of it and thus ended up in a situation he really wasn't equipped to handle
* MoralityPet : Starts to become this for Lykos. Jormun acknowledges this and even states it's why he recruited Christophe.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan : The sensitive guy to Lykos's definitely macho tendencies
* StockholmSyndrome : Definitely starting to show signs.

* BetaCouple : She and Phil have an attraction
* FeminineWomenCanCook : Regularly takes over the kitchen
* GranolaGirl : Has a penchant for organic and vegan cuisine

* TeamMom : Often acts as this to some of the others, despite being younger than Yala and Greg.

* BewareTheNiceOnes : Or at least, don't eat kittens in front of them.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu : Slaps Jormun after learning he lied to them while in his Jim Gordon alias. Borders on DidYouJustRomanceCthulhu because it's clear half her motivation was because he'd been flirting with her.
* GeniusCripple : Is in a wheelchair, but clearly has brains
* GirlFriday : Operates as Jormun's right hand, clearly with his complete trust. It's not stated if this relationship started before or after they began sleeping together. There are a few occasions that make it clear she can speak with the full weight of his authority.
* TheIdealist : She believes in and supports Jormun
* TheIngenue : Her father is a congressman and she is clearly upper class.
* KindheartedCatLover : Absolutely terrifies Yalathanil upon learning he mistakenly planned to eat the kitten he'd acquired.
* ThePowerOfFriendship : Refuses to leave Jormun's side, as she believes it is vital that he remember he has friends and allies.
* ShipTease : With Jormun Wotan, aka Jörmungandr aka the World Serpent aka the Harbinger of Ragnarök.
* SilkHidingSteel : Though she is not an ActionGirl, she has picked up a weapon and she held her own against Yalathanil and Jormun by sheer force of personality.
* ThrowingOffTheDisability : As soon as Yalathanil understands why she's in a wheelchair, he fixes her spine and restores her ability to walk.
* TheyDo : [[spoiler: Marries Jormun]]
* WheelchairWoobie : Quick to not hold Natalya responsible for Adele being in the wheelchair

* AllLovingHero : Risks his reputation to help Natalya, arranges the rescue of Yalathanil, and doesn't hesitate to take a bullet for Jim Gordon
* BadassNormal : Was in the Navy, and is capable of taking out trained mercenaries using a stealth kill

* FriendToAllLivingThings : Animals instinctively trust him, and he is the first to be able to approach Yalathanil safely

* NatureLover : Is a diver and lives on a boat
* ReluctantWarrior : While he is willing to kill to defend his friends, he's not happy about it. He is, however, good at it.

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe : Heals Adele, giving her the ability to walk again
* EscapedFromTheLab : Rescued, actually.
* FishOutOfWater : Almost literally. He can make himself look human, but has to rely on his companions to guide him through the surface world due to his complete lack of experience.
* HealingHands : The healing properties seem to be in his blood, but also require effort from him that manifests in laying on hands in order to work properly.

* SharkMan : Xue states Yalathanil's eyes are 'sharklike'.

* EvilCripple : Uses a cane and suffers from some sort of illness

* DistressedDude : Technically, he's been kidnapped by the group and is their hostage
* FairCop : Though it's not his appearance that is attracting Natalya, but the fact that he's a good guy willing to do the right thing.
* FireForgedFriends : It doesn't take long for him to end up an ally of the party, and he is clearly attracted to Natalya.
* HoldingHands : After Natalya awkwardly expresses her attraction to him, it's not uncommon to find him holding her hand.

* DespairEventHorizon : Was driven past it during his captivity to the point of going mad. Fortunately for him, he doesn't remember.
* DistressedDude : Spent six years as the prisoner of a monster
* HalfHumanHybrid : Due to what the Rusalka did to him, he is no longer a human but a form of hybrid called a 'merrow'.
* NiceGuy : Despite his horrific experiences with the supernatural, he's genuine in mentoring Luis and very kind to Cyraeneus.
* OnlySaneMan : Is one of the few to express discomfort at the supernatural around him, even though he is technically supernatural himself. [[spoiler: And quite possibly suffers from a split personality]]
* PapaWolf : Mess with his little girl and he will impale you on a tree with your own spear
* TheSmartGuy : Valuable to Mbaba because of his brains, and tapped to lead a research team when even she doesn't know what is going on.

* CombatTentacles : She also uses them to control puppets to entertain her friends
* CutemonsterGirl : Quick to show off her pretty new clothes

* HalfHumanHybrid : Actually isn't human at all despite having a human father, due to the alterations made to Viktor. She's actually a merfolk dragon hybrid
* LovecraftianSuperpower : Squidlike little monster who can bring on the nightmare fuel when she puts her mind to it. Or when she gets hungry.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting : Can switch between forms with ease, even using aspects of one form while in another

* AboveGoodAndEvil : If you take Magda at her word, he's something akin to this.
* BystanderSyndrome : Very reluctant to get directly involved in pretty much anything.

* DivineDate : At one point, he and Magda had some sort of fling. Details aren't given, but it's clear they remain fond of each other even if Magda remains cautious around him.
* DivineIntervention : Has taken an interest in Adam's situation and the talisman. He does not explain why other than to state that he made a terrible mistake.
* TheDon : Michaels notes that he has a sort of 'Godfather' vibe to him despite appearing to be Japanese.
* TheDreaded : Dragons are clearly this. Even Erilon is intimidated.

* TheManBehindTheMan : Hinted to be this in a lot of places. The Marvel vs DC fandom wars are said to be a result of him having a friendly competition with his wife.
* NatureIsNotNice : Magda calls dragons a force of nature. While thus far in the story he has been nothing but kind and polite, he was apparently responsible for the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens.
* NoodleIncident : Once set Matthias on fire and instructs Matthias to keep out of his city. It's likely the only reason Matthias survived said incident is Magda and Ryuu happen to be old friends.
* AnOfferYouCantRefuse : Though what he offers the Wu family is clearly this, it seems rather benevolent
* OurDragonsAreDifferent : He convinces Sean that magic exists by simply taking his true form, revealing himself to be an eastern style dragon with golden scales.
%%%%* PhysicalGod :
%%%* RealityWarper :
* YouOweMe : Favors are just once currency he uses, though it's worth noting that when he offers to pay the BadassCrew by 'owing them a favor' those who are familiar with him treat it as a SeriousBusiness

* {{Adorkable}} : A disapproving look from Mbaba can turn him into a bashful child.
* AffablyEvil : Actively supports a terrorist and arms nuclear warheads to make a point, but is kind and a bit protective toward Coraline and goes out of his way to replace Diana's scarf after accidentally destroying it.
* AmbiguouslyEvil : Intentionally recruits a morality chain, but refers to himself as a reckoning and talks about the apocalypse.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority : He's a dragon
* BeenThereShapedHistory : May actually have been responsible for the fall of the Roman Empire.
* BlackAndGrayMorality : Seems to have this kind of outlook, especially compared to the other dragons. He's far more willing to get his hands dirty and take direct action.
* BullyingADragon : Guerin mouths off to him not quite realizing just who he is dealing with. Matthias later does the same thing. Jormun seems to find it amusing.
* DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu : Is very nice to Coraline during their brief meeting. He also asks Adele for her number while in his Jim Gordon alias.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes : He takes a lot of risks and breaks some rules to help Lykos. While he clearly did want to recruit Lykos, it's worth noting that Lykos is also his grandson and Jormun handled the situation personally when he likely has plenty of mooks he could have sent in his place. He also proves to be extremely protective of Mbaba despite the fact that she is more powerful than he is.
* EvenEvilHasStandards : Finds the KKK offensive and clearly supports Zeke setting bombs at their meetings. He is also clearly angry about the idea of Christophe being brainwashed.
* HiddenAgendaVillain : He is clearly up to something, but whether he is actually villainous is still questionable
* MemeticBadass : He's Jörmungandr the World Serpent, harbinger of Ragnarök
* {{Nephilim}} : He is apparently this, rather than a true dragon. According to Khait, Jormun's mother was an elf.
* ShipTease : He claims he rescued Viktor as an apology to Natalya, but there are definitely some hints he did it more to impress Adele. [[spoiler: It apparently worked.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist : Thus far his motives seem benevolent. It's his methods that are questionable.

* AffablyEvil : He and Ryuu banter with each other and there is no indication that they aren't actually genuine friends.

* EvilMentor : To Wren, who is already DrunkOnTheDarkSide
* HistoricalVillainUpgrade : Merlin is a dragon, one of the primordial forces of magic.
* MythologyUpgrade : He's THAT Myth/{{Merlin}}

* OurDragonsAreDifferent : He seems to be the most powerful of the dragons.

* OurDragonsAreDifferent : Takes her name from the Egyptian goddess and was the source of some of the myths, but she's actually a dragon.
* WhiteMagicianGirl : Could have killed Khait, but chose instead a method that while painful, allowed him to redeem himself.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure : Mbaba doesn't have to try very hard to convince him to back her on the issue of Viktor and Katya. In fact, he does most of the work for her.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain : Stabbing Gabriel's boyfriend was not the smartest thing he ever did.

* DivineParentage : She is Yalathanil's grandmother. Interestingly enough, she also refers to Jormun as 'child'.

* LadyAndKnight : May be the lady to Jormun's knight.

* ShipperOnDeck : Played with. She clearly doesn't disapprove of the relationship between Greg and Yalathanil, she just confronts them with the hard truth that they are ultimately incompatible and tells them to treasure what time they do have together.

* ThreateningMediator : Clearly more powerful than Jormun, but less inclined toward violence.
