* DeathSeeker: Implied, as he opines that all humans secretly want to die, himself included, and many of his actions throughout the film put himself in life-threatening danger. [[spoiler:At the end, he takes zero issue with his impending death at Bond's hands, and uses his final moments to calmly pull a TakingYouWithMe.]]
* FinalSolution: He seeks to wipe out a vast portion of humanity so he can rule over the rest [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans in a terrorist-free utopia]].
* TheMentallyDisturbed: [[spoiler:The loss of his family and permanent scarring have clearly taken their toll on Safin's mental state, as he has devolved into a delusional madman with a god complex, bent on wiping out millions in a misguided attempt to put in an end to monsters like Blofeld forever. His conversation with Bond shows that he legitimately believes everything he's saying, further cementing how psychologically broken he is.]]
Deleted line(s) 164 (click to see context) :
* OmnicidalManiac: Has no problem being responsible for the deaths of millions, even billions of people, and justifies this with the claim that most humans subconsciously "want oblivion".
* PsychologicalProjection: He tells Bond that humanity secretly craves oblivion, and most people simply refuse to admit as such. In reality, this seems to be Safin's way of pushing his own suicidal tendencies onto the rest of the world in an attempt to justify his master plan.
* StrawNihilist: He believes that all of humanity secretly craves death, and that the only way they can exist happily is if the choice to live or die is taken away permanently.
* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: Safin believes in creating a world where people can live without free of despotic threats like terrorists and warlords. If he has to exterminate most of the human race to do do, then so be it.

Added DiffLines:
* WorthyOpponent: Considers Bond to be this, to the point that he'd rather sit down and have a polite discussion with him than simply kill him outright.
Added DiffLines:
* FauxAffablyEvil: He sometimes comes across as a sheepish and dorky nerd, which contrasts with his destructive goals.
Added DiffLines:
* {{Jerkass}}: When he isn't geeking out over his own achievements, he instead treats others with a condescending contempt and is eventually revealed to be quite racist on top of that.
Added DiffLines:
* TheSociopath: He has no problem with wiping out millions to satisfy his scientific curiosity and takes great pleasure in seeing his nanobots in action.
