* DumbassNoMore: In life, he was a complete idiot...but both lichdom and age boost your mental abilities. Since death, while he still ''[[ObfuscatingStupidity acts]]'' the fool, he's shown suprising intelligence when it suits him to. One of Redcloak's more subtle but potentially more dangerous mistakes is that he still thinks of Xykon as the dangerous but easily fooled thug he first met, rather then the far smarter monster he is now.

* ByronicHero: Redcloak is driven to better his Goblin people and serve the Dark One no matter what it takes, even if it means [[spoiler:''defying the gods themselves'']]. In the pursuit of such goals, Redcloak became unscrupulous to the point of [[spoiler:murdering his own brother.]] As a consequence, Redcloak has to live with himself and the terrible decisions he made everyday, [[spoiler:especially after he loses his eye and becomes the splitting image of his late brother whenever he looks in the mirror.]] He is also intelligent, has a wry wit, and is very charismatic.

Ultimately deconstructed: even as he sinks deeper and deeper into increasingly horrific acts of villainy, Redcloak keeps ''telling himself'' he's this sort of hero, which prevents him from ever pulling himself out of his spiral.

* AmbiguouslyEvil: She's on "Team Evil" and is happy to assist them, and she rarely outright goes against their actions (not that she's in much of a position to do so), but she lacks their cackling malevolence, is genuinely kind and friendly in her dealings with others, and is all but stated to disapprove of Redcloak's attitude and eventual end goal. Whether she's still Evil or just a particularly cold Neutral ''a la'' Right-Eye remains to be seen.

* IDidWhatIHadToDo: His stance on his evil actions, in contrast to Xykon's gleeful and self-aware malice. The trope is increasingly examined as his character and backstory are developed-- he's terrified of the possibility that actually, he ''didn't'' have to do any of it and all the blood on his hands could have been avoided. A lot of the awful things he does have the subconcious goal of further convining himself that he had no other options.
