* IdenticalGrandson: Quite literally of Gaheris Rhade, Hunt's first mate who mutinied against him: Telemachus's DNA is identical to Gaheris's. {{Justified}}: In his first appearance in "Home Fires", it's explained that due to the smaller gene pool of Nietzscheans compared to baseline humans, it's rare but not unheard of for such "genetic reincarnations" to take place. [[spoiler:Which is a plot point in Tyr's character arc.]]

* BelievingTheirOwnLies: Tyr has his DNA changed to match his son's so that he can pose as the genetic reincarnation of Drago Museveni, explaining away his lack of resemblance to the original by claiming he had surgery to hide his identity. However, Tyr's ego ends up running away with him, and he comes to believe he really ''is'' the Nietzschean messiah. This leads to him trying to confront the [[GodOfEvil Spirit of the Abyss]] head-on, which gets him killed.

Link for new trope

Added DiffLines:

* MortalityGreyArea: The first hint she might fit this occurs in the second part of the pilot, when she's shot and seemingly killed, only to recover shortly afterward without apparent explanation. In a later episode, a sentient colony of microorganisms known as the Bokor, which kills people and then takes control of their corpses, is able to control and even speak through Trance without killing her first, which causes Dylan Hunt to suspect that Trance was never really alive in the first place.

* GeniusBruiser: Tyr looks like a typical musclebound thug, and can play the role well enough when the situation calls for it. However, he is also a scarily adept schemer and strategist, and his most prized possession is a well-thumbed copy of ''Literature/AtlasShrugged''.

* GenocideSurvivor: Tyr's people, the Kodiak pride, were wiped out by the Drago-Kazov pride. Unfortunately for him, under Nietzschean morality, the fact that his people were wiped out only served as evidence that they, and by extension Tyr, were genetically inferior.
