* DevilInPlainSight: [[spoiler:Many of the nature spirits in the Thiefverse take inspiration from Myth/ClassicalMythology, with the creepiness ramped up. The Trickster's usual physical form is that of [[FaunsAndSatyrs a satyr]]. Since the satyrs of ancient Greek myths became a popular source of inspiration for visual depictions of the devil during the RealLife Late Middle Ages, [[GeniusBonus it works in-universe as a rather clever analogy]]. The Hammerites, being a CrystalDragonJesus medieval church that opposes the Pagans, consider the Trickster to be the embodiment of evil, chaos and corruption. Basically, he ''is'' the Thiefverse's version of the devil. This trope comes into play even on a literal level, given that the Trickster and his beastly army attack a Hammerite convent late in the first game. This indicates that the Hammerites must have [[ReligiousHorror caught a glimpse of him]] while under attack.]]

* CompositeCharacter: He is basically a combination of Pan from Greek mythology and the Christian Satan. He looks like a combination of both (Indeed, the common idea of Satan as looking like a HornedHumanoid is acutally based on Pan) and has the nature/chaos parts of Pan and the evil parts of Satan (as well as being the enemy of [[CrystalDragonJesus The Hammerites]]). Additionally, both Pan and Satan are associated with trickery.
