* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: He was about to reveal his name before Zero interrupted

* IJustWantToBeNormal: He helps Zero in her quest not for the sake of money, but because of her promise to make him fully human. [[spoiler:It's going to have to wait since housing a demon makes it so that he fused with his beast-half even more and Zero is low on magic power.]]

* NoNameGiven: He does have one, but he keeps it to himself. Initially, he was it was because he was introducing himself to Zero, but before he could reveal his name, she interrupts him and insists on simply addressing him as Mercenary. Later on, Zero advises him to not reveal his name as witches could potentially use it to take control of him.

* GenderBlenderName: Albus is a masculine name, and Albus is revealed to be [[spoiler:Sorena's granddaughter]].

* KidSidekick: She's the younger companion who travels with the Mercenary and Zero, helping them find the Grimoire of Zero.
* KingIncognito: Anime very strongly hints that she is the grandchild of the powerful witch Selina, who had a great influence, judging by the retrospective cadres. But now Albus leads the life of a homeless orphan boy.
* MrExposition: She explains to the magic ignorant Mercenary basic fundamentals about magic and explains to the former isolationist, Zero, information about the various political factions that are currently at war.
* RaisedByGrandparents: Albus is the daughter of Selina's daughter and ordinary man who died protecting each other when she was a small child. In connection with this, she was brought up by her grandmother, the memory of which she stores.

** Rescues Albus when she is about to burned at the stake.

* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Averted, at first, when Thirteen arrests Albus for being a Sorceror of Zero, he makes no effort to resist, not wanting to incur the wrath of a kingdom.
