* HundredPercentAdorationRating: Aside from her strained relationship with [[WellDoneSonGuy Axel]], he was very well-respected as a Chancellor thanks to her co-Chancellorship with Orlen Mollo allowing each other to cover the other's blindspots. [[spoiler:After the Battle of Dalna, in which Kyong deliberately relinquished her Chancellorship so the Path of the Open Hand couldn't make her into their political puppet, many in the Republic ''beg'' for her to reinstate herself just because they feel lost without her.]]

* PutOnAPrisonBus: The end of ''Convergence'' sees him arrested and jailed on a Republic prison ship for his role in further fanning the flames of the Eiram-E'ronoh war. By ''Cataclysm'', he's been transferred to a [[TheAlcatraz high-security]] prison on Pipyyr.

* HeelFaceTrun: [[spoiler:After [[HeelRealization realizing]] that neither the Mother nor Binnot actually care for his well-being after Kyong announces that she's relinquishing her Chancellorship, and Binnot tries to make Axel prove he's part of the Path [[IfYoureSoEvilEatThisKitten by killing a young cultist who was reluctant to fight after losing his mother]], Axel turns on the Path for good, frees Gella from imprisonment and fights alongside her and his mother on Dalna.]]

* GettingSickDeliberately: While imprisond on Pipyyr, he fakes being a sick in a way that genuinely convinces Gella to have him transferred to a lower-security prison. This includes getting his body to act ill and repeatedly vommiting, which the Pipyyr prison medic presumed was a result of him being kept in an environment he wasn't naturally acclimated to (he was a human raised in a high-altitude environment being moved to a deep sea prison). After being rescued by Binnot, he notes that he frequently did this as a kid to get out of boring political meetings with his mother.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:After [[HeelRealization realizing]] that neither the Mother nor Binnot actually care for his well-being after Kyong announces that she's relinquishing her Chancellorship, and Binnot tries to make Axel prove he's part of the Path [[IfYoureSoEvilEatThisKitten by killing a young cultist who was reluctant to fight after losing his mother]], Axel turns on the Path, frees Gella from imprisonment and fights alongside her and his mother on Dalna.]]

** To Mollo. While Mollo is the more proactive of the two, Greylark is a more formal Chancellor who chooses to operate on Coruscant.

* {{Foil}}: To Greylark. While Greylark operates from Coruscant, Mollo is more proactive in carrying out the Republic's policies, even working directly with the Jedi on the Galactic Frontier. This best shown when he's left behind to negotiate with the royals of Eiram and E'ronoh, where he's uncomfortable sitting around at a fancy meeting. [[spoiler:When Kyong announces that she's relinquishing Chancellorship, Orlen admits to how the two of them complemented each other's weaknesses and he feels lost without her.]]

* {{Foil}}: To Mollo. While Mollo is the more proactive of the two, Greylark is a more formal Chancellor who chooses to operate on Coruscant.

* ActionPolitician: He is not afraid to jump into the action if necessary, as evidenced by [[spoiler:having one of his guards toss him a blaster and immediately opening fire with it at the bounty hunters who crash Xiri and Phan-tu's wedding while seeking Axel Greylark]].
* BigGood: He serves as this in Phase II of ''The High Republic'', leading the Republic in an tumultuous era of pioneering, sharing the role with Kyong Greylark.
* {{Foil}}: To Greylark. While Greylark operates from Coruscant, Mollo is more proactive in carrying out the Republic's policies, even working directly with the Jedi on the Galactic Frontier.

* TheMole: [[spoiler:He is secretly an agent of the Path of the Open Hand, going by the alias "Chaos".]]
* PutOnAPrisonBus: [[spoiler:The end of ''Convergence'' sees him arrested and jailed on a Republic prison ship for his role in further fanning the flames of the Eiram-E'ronoh war. By ''Cataclysm'', he's been transferred to a [[TheAlcatraz high-security]] prison on Pipyyr.]]

* WellDoneSonGuy: Part of the reason he's very irresponsible is that he doesn't feel Kyong pays much attention to him, especially after his father's death. This is also part of the reason he goes to the Eiram system on her behalf. [[spoiler:This strained relationship also made him vulnerable to [[ToxicFriendInfluence Binnot]] proselytizing him into the Path's graces.]]

* DeliberatelyGettingSick: [[spoiler:While imprisond on Pipyyr, he fakes being a sick in a way that genuinely convinces Gella to have him transferred to a lower-security prison.

* IdleRich: He's the son of a Supreme Chancellor, but he spends most of his time indulging himself and getting into trouble throughout Coruscant. As a result, Kyong has to pay his bail whenever he gets arrested. However, there's a lot more to him than he lets on.

* FantasticRacism: Despises droids and does not believe they should be allowed the capability to do anything beyond basic tasks. Droids that can fly ships or fight are particularly heinous to her as she views them as a threat flesh-and-blood being's place in the galaxy. Ghirra believes that only criminal would resort to using droids for such tasks, [[spoiler:and it is Marchion replacing the crew of the ''Gaze Electric'' with droids that unnerves her the most about him]].

* CoolPet: Matari and Voru are her twin targons, giant lion-like creatures. They are empathic as well, and often reflect the mood of Lina, with their ears notably flattening into a threat display when the chancellor orders every single Nihil brought to justice.

* TheStoic: Compared to Mollo, she is far less emotive and maintains an image of calm dignity. This is one of the main issues between her and Axel, who believes that she cared more about maintaining her image that actually showing real emotion, particularly in regard to his father's death.
