*[[AbusiveParents Abusive Parent]]
*AntiHero: Type I.
** [[AmnesiacHero Amnesiac Anti-Hero]]
*InformedLoner
*InsufferableGenius
*PetTheDog: Quite literally. When Elliot confronts the man who is two-timing his therapist, his only demands are that the man tell her the truth—and give Elliot his dog, whom we saw him mistreating earlier in the episode. Considering he frequently expresses his hatred for 90% of human society, he seems very fond of Flipper.
*PlayfulHacker
*ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules: A defining character trait of Elliot, established in the very first scene, is that he cannot be bought or bribed.
*StalkerWithACrush
*ThroughTheEyesOfMadness: Elliot himself doubts that some of things he sees and experiences are real.
*UnreliableNarrator: We're putting this a little ''too'' lightly.
