* Ephebophile: It's possible. There's rumors that he and Rachel slept together at some point ([[spoiler: which he doesn't deny, claiming that she was in love with him]]) and even though [[spoiler: all his known victims are (barely) 18 years old and there's no evidence he did anything sexual to them, he's obsession with the innocence of teenage girls hints towards this.]]

Ax Crazy as a trope is about the character being unstable and violent, to a point where you never know what will cause them to go wild and kill someone (think the Shining.) Jefferson is a killer, but not unstable (his murders are not a result of escalation, but of covering his tracks) | The game did not have Cerebus Syndrome (it's been dark from the get-go) so he is not a Knightof Cerebus


* AxCrazy: [[spoiler: When the truth is out, it’s revealled that he’s a deeply, ''deeply'' disturbed man who gets off on kidnapping, drugging up and terrifying girls into submission. Not helping matters is the fact that he eventually escalates into murder.]]



* KnightOfCerebus: [[spoiler: {{The reveal}} of his true nature at the end of Episode Four and going into the beginning of Episode Five catapults the story into pure nightmare territory.]]



* {{Lust}}: Appears to have this for [[spoiler: a bunch of young girls. At the very least, he gets off on seeing them in a state of helplessness and fear.]]

* ShadowArchetype: [[spoiler: This guy here is what Max and Victoria will turn into if they take their obsession with photographic greatness too far; it's particularly disturbing considering that the player may have done similar to him already--making people like Victoria or the unnamed skater suffer to take optional photographs, and rewinding so that the unfortunate subject doesn't remember it]]

Added DiffLines:

* StrawMisogynist: [[spoiler: His sadistic tendencies are targeted exclusively towards women, drugging and capturing innocent ("innocence" being a big deciding factor in his targets) high school girls where he photographs them in such states of vulnerability without their consent. When Max stirs from her drugged-out state using her time-travel abilities, [[MoodSwinger he throws massive tantrums]] and yells at her to stay still. He also manipulated Kate - who was clearly in an emotionally fragile state - into her suicide/attempt by implying that her unfortunate circumstances were 100% a result of her own actions while he himself was complicit in what happened to her.]]

David saving Max doesn't negate his previous behavior. The game ultimately leaves it up to the player how to feel about him.
