* EyeScream: ''And how.'' [[spoiler:When he finds Ignes Kravei's lab in chapter 307 and asks her if it all was her doing, she made to mistake of trying to say his name.

* DissonantSerenity
* [[spoiler:TheDreaded: As the Noblesse, he is feared by even the clan leaders, not only because he is very powerful, but also because he has the authority to execute them if he finds them guilty. He is so feared that when news break that he is still alive, the Union flies into panic.]]

He was explicitly acknowledged by the previous Lord because [[spoiler: he had power rivalling that of a clan leader's DESPITE being human]]. This kind of potential is implied to be something that Nobles lack.

* [[spoiler: MadScientist]]: InvokedTrope by both him and [[spoiler:The Union. The Union & Lagus Tradio painted him as this in the stories they spread to turn humans and nobles against him,]] and he realized that acting this way had its advantages since [[spoiler:they wouldn't use hostages against him if they thought he didn't care about human lives.]]
