* GracefulLoser: When Sarah refuses his love for the final time and chooses to return to the real world with her baby brother, Jareth, while saddened, doesn't lose his gentlemanly composure and lets them go. This is notable because with his godlike powers, he could have ''easily'' imprisoned the brother and sister in the Labyrinth for eternity with a literal flick of his wrist, but his love for Sarah was genuine enough that he respected her choice to be free of him instead.

* AffablyEvil: Very polite and charismatic to just about everyone, even when he is threatening or blackmailing them. He never raises a finger to Sarah, at first believing she will give up, but is increasingly concerned by her determination. He also has some hints of being FauxAffablyEvil when he gives Hoggle the poisoned peach. He has moments where he's just a dick to people, but David Bowie's incredible charm and magnetism makes him impossible to hate even then.

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Beetleglum says she's otherwise very intelligent. but must be this trope for liking Albert.
