Added DiffLines:
* GracefulLoser: Zigzagged. After Axe wins the Yonkers deal, Prince calls him to let him know that he's withdrawing and won't fight him anymore on this, with a "well played" tone of voice. However, after Axe responds in a decidedly ungracious manner, Prince then passive-aggressively brings up how he didn't stand a chance against Axe in this... because Axe grew up there, and which anyone can see from looking at him and he's now back there, triggering all of Axe's insecurities about coming from the "dipshit town".
* {{Narcissist}}: Prince is fully aware that he has these tendencies, and makes many self-condemning comments about this aspect of himself, both in public and private conversations. However, these conversations always seem to spend a lot of time on how awesome and celebrated he was at high-school basketball, and how altruistic and self-improving he is now, and he often seems to not be fully aware that he's doing it. As of the middle of Season 5, it's not clear whether he is genuinely trying to be better and unconsciously backsliding, or if he is still an unrepentant narcissist who's found a different way of getting the adulation he craves.

Added more tropes for Winston based on the new season
Added DiffLines:
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Despite being one of Taylor's core employees, Winston is frequently ganged up upon and treated as an outsider. Some of this he brings upon himself through his frequent snark and occasional genuinely mean comments ([[NoSocialSkills although to what extent he intends to be mean is often unclear]]), but Winston's outsider status is often through no fault of his own.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Although Winston often struggles to have positive interactions with the others, he clearly wants to form friendships with them and frequently tries to joke around with them or share his passions with them.
*BadassMustache: As of season 5.

* ParentalObliviousness / ParentalNeglect: We find out in season 5 that Wags is not only a father, he's got a ''lot'' of children. He just hasn't really cared to get to know any of his kids. He finds out in "The Chris Rock Test" that [[spoiler: one of his daughters has fallen on hard times and become a stripper]], and the Gordie-Axe relationship in "Beg, Bribe, Bully" inspires Wags to get in touch with nearly all of his kids.

Finding out that the one kid willing to talk to him is on a Jesus kick causes him to desperately seek a new mate on a dating app who might produce him a child that he will raise right.
