-->'''Winslow''': Stupid.

* AffablyEvil: Winslow's an odd example because it's hard to say he's openly nice either ([[spoiler: a better example of the trope would Wake]]). He's quietly polite and may joke a few times, but he mostly chooses to keep to himself. When he goes through a {{villainous breakdown}}, Winslow becomes a lot more desperate and irritable.

* AmbiguouslyBi: Ephraim has a sexual fixation with the mermaid scrimshaw, the only 'female figure' on the island, and hallucinates encounters with one at various times. When drunk, however, he slow dances with and nearly kisses Wake before pushing him away. He also thought of Wake and [[spoiler: the real Winslow]] when masturbating. It's never outright stated whether it's situational or not, but there's good enough evidence for the latter.
* TheAtoner: Lampshaded. He speaks on wanting to start over when Wake asks why he chose the job. After spilling the truth that [[spoiler: he murdered someone]], this can also be seen as him running away from his crime. Although, in the scene, he does express some guilt over what he's done.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Despite Winslow's subdued and reserved personality, he's capable of murder.
* ButtMonkey: Often subjected to Wake's gaslighting, borderline abusive work standards, and shitty insults.
* RedOni,BlueOni: The obvious blue to Wake's stormy and joking red.
* TheResenter: Ephraim definitely resents Wake for his poor treatment of him, but also his access and control of the light.
