* AmbiguousGender: Despite showing a clearly female figure and breasts when encountered in the mines, Knoth repeatedly refers to Val with male pronouns, and one of her notes mentions she's unable to bear children of her own. The most logical conclusion is that Val is {{Transgender}}, but when asked about it, the developers have simply answered [[ShrugOfGod Val is Val]].

* {{Transgender}}: In-depth analysis of her model shows traces of a [[{{Squick}} mutilated penis]] under all of that mud, heavily implying Val is a messily made male-to-female.

* TheLostLenore: To Blake. While she was friends with both Lynn and Blake, Blake is the one who feels personally responsible for her death, to the point that it continues to affect him even into adulthood. His guilt gets so bad that by the time he's in the mines and the Morphogenic Engine being broadcast through the radio tower really gets to him, he mixes up Jess and Lynn's names and begins referring to Lynn ''as'' Jess. When he's carrying Lynn's baby out of the church, he projects Jess onto her, saying that she'll be able to grow up this time.

* MightyGlacier: He knocks down ''locked'' doors with a single swing, but it's not that hard to outrun him.

* ForcedToWatch: Josiah having to watch Mary be tortured is what broke him.
* MercyKill: Josiah begs Blake to kill him.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/new_ezekiel.png]]

* DarkActionGirl: She's the first female in the franchise to act as an enemy.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler: Being ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice by the church cross]].

* FinalBoss: She's the last enemy you face in the game.
* GroinAttack: Skewers Blake right in his crotch with her weird pickaxe if you can't avoid her.

* STDImmunity: '''Averted''' The cult believes their sicknesses are of spiritual origin. When in reality, they've been left to die in the forest for having various [=STD=]s like syphilis and gonorrhoea.

* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: Half the reason he's the way he is is because [[spoiler:his mind has been severely screwed with by Murkoff's brainwashing signals]], and he genuinely believes that the things he's doing are necessary to prevent the Apocalypse. The other half is because [[SlimeBall he's a sick pervert leading a cult to apotheosize him so he can rape with impunity and kill anyone who doesn't bend to his will]]. Rather than mourn Val's defection, he hastily records a gospel entry that essentially villainizes Val [[AsTheGoodBookSays into a Judas-like figure who was surely an evil conspirator the whole time]].

* OlderThanTheyLook: With his long brunette hair and unwrinkled skin, Knoth looks relatively young for an 80-year-old man.

* AmbiguouslyGay: Numerous hints exist between the school sequences and his four month-long SexlessMarriage that point towards the possibility of him being gay and having repressed this.

* FullFrontalAssault: All of them go around naked and quite filthy, with strange headdresses woven out of branches.

* KillEmAll: [[spoiler: None of them survive the events of the game.]]

* AsTheGoodBookSays: Knoth constantly quotes the Bible...his own Bible, that is: The Gospel of Knoth.

* TheExtremistWasRight: [[spoiler: In a way. Blake and Lynn's arrival precedes the end of Temple Gate, as he feared, but it is hinted prior to this that the tower relays sending the mind-altering signal were damaged by an electrical storm, and their effect has been ''worsened'', so chances are they were all doomed either way. ]]

* TheCorrupter: Knoth has made an art of persuading members of his cult to keep going whenever they start questioning things. He's repeatedly guilt-tripped Marta into continuing her murderous ways, and convinced Laird that the Scalled colony would get no further supplies from him because the first cache they got was "what God intended". Didn't exactly work with Val however.

* WouldHurtAChild: He murdered all of his own children, and encouraged members of his church to do the same.

* TheHyena[=/=]LaughingMad: Their insane babbling is mostly composed of feral laughter.

* IgnoredEpiphany: Tying in to above, she originally wanted to leave Temple Gate because she [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone was horrified by what she found herself doing on Knoth's direction.]] By the time she actually managed to leave, [[spoiler: the Murkoff microwaves]] had made her [[MotiveDecay more sadistic than Knoth ever could be.]]

* BodyHorror: All of them are in an absolutely wretched state, riddled with sores and deformities, and cough and vomit constantly.

* FateWorseThanDeath: Their bodies and minds are mangled beyond salvation, they can barely move or speak, and they can't go five seconds without vomiting their guts out. They're basically just-sentient zombies.

* TragicMonster / TragicVillain: Aside from a FateWorseThanDeath, they're forceful outcasts from their own society and are ruled by a murderous, abusive {{Jerkass}} who hates them with a seething passion.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: His underlings hate him for his physical and verbal abuse.[[spoiler:They get so fed up with him they eventually decide to kill him and Nick]].

* TheBully: Of the Scalled. If he isn't relentlessly chewing them out for the slightest of failure or having Nick beat them half to death, he's straight up murdering them for no reason.

* {{Establishing Character Moment}}: His first scene has him being informed of Blake's presence by an underling, then he proceeds to kill that underling for no reason.
* FloweryInsults: "YOU HALF-WIT DOG'S CUNT!" being this best example.

* PetTheDog / MoralityPet: He's very kind to Nick.

* DomainHolder: the creature seems to have total control over the school, given that it constantly warps the surroundings and ambushes Blake numerous times. One gets the impression that it's toying with Blake.

[[folder: In General]]

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler: Subject to the same Murkoff signal brainwashing as their enemy cultists.]]

* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Val is a full out aversion of this trope. The moment she sexually assaults and [[spoiler: rapes]] Blake is shown as outright horrifying and disgusting.

* AmbiguouslyGay: Numerous hints exist between the school sequences and his four month-long SexlessMarriage that point towards the possibility of him being gay and having repressed this.

* BaldOfEvil: He's a bald sexual predator.

* HeteronormativeCrusader: If his "diseased cocksucker" line is anything to go by, as well as his shaming of Blake's growing sexuality.

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: A hallucination of Loutermilch calls Blake a "cocksucker" over the phone, which implies Loutermilch shamed him for his possibly sexuality-questioning feelings when he was a child.

* SinisterMinister: Raping and murdering a fourth grade girl sure qualifies.

* DamselOutOfDistress: She manages to escape from the cult before being taken again by a different faction. She also manages to rescue herself from that faction.
