* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:Despite his experience with fallen guardians, his plans regarding the Shadows of Yor show that he ''does'' believe that the guardians can wield the power of the Darkness without being corrupted, as he only wants to weed out the worst elements within the group. He ends up vindciated in ''Beyond Light'', where Young Wolf manages to harness the power of Stasis without being corrupted]].

* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: While Micah the Exo is female and Micah the human is male, it's unclear if she ever actually identified as transgender, considering Clovis had a habit of experimenting with Exos by rewriting their minds and physiology without consent (meaning as an Exo, Micah could have simply been reprogrammed into believing she was always female regardless of previous gender identity.)

* OddFriendship: All the friends he has or has had (Eris Morn and the two hunters he went into the Pyramidion with) have been Hunters, the class with a shtick of being the opposite and rivals of stuffy academic warlocks like Asher. It's probably the fact that Asher is very much a ''field'' researcher who's more than willing to get his hands dirty testing his theories that led his Hunter teammates to respect him more than the average Warlock.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: ''Season of the Witch'' lore tabs reveal that he personally killed Savathun ''multiple times'' while trapping her under his Ward of Dawn after the Witch Queen was revived per her deal with the Vanguard, all as payback for having to watch her possess Osiris while he could only watch helplessly from the sidelines.

Added DiffLines:

* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: His hood is actually a modified Dawn Chorus, as ''Lightfall'' reveals. It ditches the cicada motifs for a phoenix, making it this trope for both himself as a Dawnblade and the hood itself due to its ability to double Daybreak damage and triple Scorch damage. Additionally, it also has green lights in the same shade as Strand when used by the Young Wolf for seemingly no reason except to invoke this trope again for the element.

* BeyondTheImpossible: [[spoiler:Her gambit to defeat Xivu Arath [[WarIsGlorious without actually giving into her ways]] is revealed at the end of the season; not to become stronger than her at all but instead to become stronger than Savathun instead, so that when Eris Morn has her resurrected by Immaru, she can exploit the Sword Logic to its fullest by slaying Savathun herself by pulling a deceit greater than that of the Hive God known for lies, whom also hasn't ever been felled by another Hive before, meaning her potential power to obtain from killing Savathun is infinitely greater than trying to challenge Xivu Arath. The end result? Eris Morn becomes the single most powerful Hive to ever exist to the point of being ''the'' TopGod briefly, which allows her to dictate the laws of the Hive with but a whim, and by so doing, Eris just ''wills'' Xivu Arath and her followers immortality away instantly before sacrificing her power as a Hive God, thereby forcing a hard {{Nerf}} across the entire Hive as a process as her ultimate revenge.]]

A Lightless Hunter and member of Ikora Rey's network of spies and informants known as The Hidden, who became trapped in the Hellmouth for many years after her fireteam attempted to assassinate Crota and was wiped out. The trauma of watching her friends die and being forced to survive within the Hive catacombs has left deep and lasting scars upon her mind and body. Ironically, this experience has made her one of the foremost experts on the Hive.

* AloofAlly: Not entirely by choice: the time she spent hiding among the Hive has led to many of her fellow Guardians shunning her, for fear of her being corrupted by the Darkness. Still, there's the matter of her plotting with the Queen of the Reef and her brother in complete secrecy, even if it's to secure allies against the Hive. Not to mention, [[spoiler: she knows Osiris is alive and is in contact with him, but seems to have conveniently chosen to not alert the Vanguard to this.]]

* DevilInPlainSight: Just ''look at her''. Most Guardians put up with her due to her extensive knowledge of the Hive, but Cayde-6 openly states his mistrust of her. [[spoiler:She's was double-agent for Osiris and Queen Mara Sov, but both turned out to have the City's best interests at heart and were conspiring on ways to protect it from future threats]].
