* NoSympathy: To the inmates, who she at times doesn't seem to give a damn about. [=McManus=] leaves her because of her flippancy about participating in Keane's execution.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: His comes when he makes his way past the press with polite platitudes, then berating Glynn and [=McManus=], [[AGodAmI comparing himself to Zeus]] while threatening them and casually admitting he thinks prisoners should be deprived of their basic rights.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The first thing he does onscreen is [[KickTheDog to ban conjugal visits to the prison]], much to the prisoners' consternation.

-->'''Devlin''': ''You've heard of Olympus, right? Mount Olympus, Ancient Greece, where the Gods lived?''
-->'''[=McManus=]''': ''Yeah.''
-->'''Devlin''': ''There was a hierarchy even among the Gods. Mercury was lesser than Apollo, Apollo lesser than Zeus. Now you run your cell block and you think you're a God. Glynn runs a whole prison, he thinks he's a greater God. Well, guys...[[AGodAmI I am Zeus.]] I am omnipotent. I must be obeyed...or my thunderbolts will strike.''

* SleazyPolitician: In addition to what we see on screen, he's being investigated for corruption all throughout his first term. [[spoiler: The series ends with the possibility of him being charged with Glynn's murder]]

* JerkassHasAPoint: For all the shit [=McManus=] likes to give him for what he views as malicious and draconian policy, those same policies still ultimately result in lower crime rates, higher income and employment figures, and the second highest literacy rate in the country. It's not at all clear whether he's actually responsible for this or is just taking credit for it, but Devlin delights in throwing back in [=McManus'=] face when he's feeling under attack, and no one seems to be willing to call him on it.

* ChristianityIsCatholic: {{Deconstructed}}. Part of the reason Reverend Cloutier is successful at converting inmates is because Father Mukada is the only chaplain and legitimate Christian leader figure in OZ, meaning that Protestant inmates have been getting the short-shrift or blatantly ignored. A seething rivalry of sorts emerges as each tries to one-up the other, until both realize that they can help more inmates by working together.

* JerkassHasAPoint: For all the shit [=McManus=] likes to give him for what he views as malicious and draconian policy, those same policies still ultimately result in lower crime rates, higher income and employment figures, and the second highest literacy rate in the country. And these are all facts that Devlin delights in throwing back in [=McManus'=] face when he's feeling under attack.
