* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Locke's relationship with his honorary nephew Isaac is generally [[HeadbuttingHeroes frosty and argumentative]]. And then Locke will try to ease Isaac's [[SurvivorsGuilt feelings of guilt for not being there for The Leagues' final battle]], Isaac will ease Locke's [[SoleSurvivor guilt for surviving said battle]] and Locke will ask Isaac to help him find out [[{{Turncoat}} who it was that betrayed the League]] and [[HuntingTheRogue hunt them down]].
-->'''Locke''': Isaac. When all this is over, and the Tower is safe, I'm going to find out who it was betrayed the League. And I want you to help me.
-->'''Isaac''': You're... You're serious?
-->'''Locke''': Deadly.
-->'''Isaac''': [[DueToTheDead This won't bring peace to the dead or any of that rot. You know, they're dead, they don't need peace]].

** Highlighted in the 'Venus Flytrap' fate event. Lateef is given the opportunity to challenge a Banished Court magister to a 'friendly' game of baccarat. Not only does Lateef take him for everything he's worth, but he even steals the magister's pocket watch, just to rub it in.



* ActualPacifist: Mother Amina takes her vow to harm none extremely seriously. [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration Carries over into gameplay]] as she cannot attack enemies during her extraction mission.
* DisappointedInYou: Mother Amina is willing to bless all of the agents of the Lamplighters League save Ana Sofía. Why? Because Ana once belonged to the same order of healers as Mother Amina and has since broken her vow to take up arms. [[spoiler: It is only after many weeks of conversation that Amina finally gives Ana a blessing.]]

** During one particularly heated argument between Isaac and Locke, Isaac accuses Locke of looking at the previous iteration of the Lamplighters League through [[RoseTintedNarrative rose-tinted glasses]] and Locke makes a particularly pointed statement about Isaac's relationship with his father.
-->'''Locke''': The old days may not have been perfect, but we had good intentions.

* TheUnfettered: What Locke has been forced to become. In his earlier years, [[TheFettered Locke wholeheartedly believed in the honorable and moral tactics and goals of the Lamplighters League]]. [[TraumaCongaLine Then... someone betrayed the League]] [[note]]And Locke never found out who the traitor was[[/note]], [[TraumaCongaLine his friends were murdered one by one, he barely survived his last battle and was thrown into a shallow grave with the bodies of his allies and had to dig himself out two days later]]. Now, with the League having been in ruins for years and his sworn enemies on the verge of ending the world, [[IDidWhatIHadToDo Locke is willing to do whatever it takes to destroy the Banished Court]]. Locke is also well aware of how much he has changed and notes that his past self would have despised what he has become.
--> ''The man I was twenty years ago would have despised me. He was part of an [[BadassCrew order of heroes: scholars, adventurers, philosophers]]. He knew the dangers the Banished Court posed, but he still believed the League could defeat them nobly, honorably, the "right way." [[CynicismCatalyst In a sense that man died in the war, just like the rest of them]]. The Lamplighters League is dead. All that remains... is me.''

* FakingTheDead: How Locke survived the attack that left him the last Lamplighter. One of his comrades was killed and her body fell into his arms. In order to survive he was forced to use her body and blood as camouflage to keep from being executed. After being thrown into a mass grave, he climbed out two days later. Locke considers it his [[DirtyCoward most shameful act]], however Isaac [[CombatPragmatist respects him for staying alive to fight the Banished Court another day]].

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Isaac is arrogant, violent and more than willing to use dishonorable means to achieve his goals. However when Locke reveals to him that the only reason he is still alive is because he hid under the body of a fellow Lamplighter and [[FakingTheDead fooled the attackers into thinking he was just another corpse]], Isaac's response is... strangely comforting:
--> '''Isaac''': You hid to save your own skin. So much for the vaunted Lamplighter honor, eh? ... Good for you.
-->'''Locke''': Nothing you say can hurt more than what I have said to myself.
--> '''Isaac''': Right. [[HonorBeforeReason Because the Court would be in shambles if only you'd eaten your lead like a good little soldier]]. [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre You did well, Uncle. Maybe there's hope for you yet.]]

* SurvivorsGuilt: One of the few times Isaac's sarcastic and bitter nature breaks is when he rants to Locke that he might have been able to save the deceased Lamplighters if he'd fought alongside them.
-->'''Isaac''': Do you know how many nights I laid awake with the knowledge that I could have stopped it - I could have saved them - if only I had been there? If only you hadn't thrown me out?
-->'''Locke''': You were still a boy. If you were there, you'd have been killed too.

* {{Foil}}: Isaac and Strum are both descended from nobility, both use particularly [[{{BFG}} brutal]] [[ShortRangeShotgun weapons]] and [[AttackAttackAttack overwhelming firepower]] as their primary method of resolving situations, both use attacks that cause fire hazards and both are heavily associated with [[HiredGuns mercenaries]]. However, Isaac abandoned his nobility to become a mercenary and [[HadToBeSharp has trained and fought for the past sixteen years to stay alive and earn his own money]]. Strum used his ancestral wealth to cultivate the Red Sulfur that grants him quasi-immortality and [[NighInvulnerability invulnerability and allows him to fight without fear of dying]] while throwing his hired goons at any problem in his path. If Isaac dreams of Strum's vision for the future, he makes his feelings on the man perfectly clear.

Instead, he became a [[HiredGuns soldier of fortune]], first with the [[LegionOfLostSouls French Foreign Legion]] and then as part of a small mercenary company that saw action all over Europe and Asia.
