* AmbiguousDisorder: Konrad is a full-blown mess, no buts about this. The thing is, it's hard to identify what's caused by his WildChild status, what's caused by genuine mental illness and what's caused by daemons piggybacking on his visions to mindrape him. The result is a rather childish man with bipolar tendences and a slight hint of multiple personalities.

* FailedFutureForecast: Konrad Curze is left perplexed when it turns out Vulkan is able to completely defy his visions of death and despair. While he's briefly left paralyzed by [[HopeIsScary the hope]] it is possible [[ScrewDestiny to destroy the future his visions predict]], Vulkan convinces him to take arms and fight the future.

* BigLittleBrother: In spite of Vulkan's accelerated growth which means he quickly becomes biologically older of several decades and towering over her, he still calls Ga'ri his big sister.
** [[spoiler:This is also the way Teruel thinks of himself compared to his Primarch's nineteen-months-old daughter. As he explains it, he was her dad much longer than his.]]

** Vulkan later speculates the Emperor deliberately tweaked the Primarchs to be this, ensuring there wouldn't be a proliferation of transhumans.


Added DiffLines:

* FantasticRacism: Vulkan really, ''really'' '''HATES''' the Eldar and wants for their race to be utterly destroyed. [[spoiler:Not only they murdered his pregnant wife, they tried to skin his newborn daughter alive and he barely was there in time to rescue her.]]
* GenderIsNoObject: After hearing she was quite skilled ''for a girl'' her whole life, Fara was genuinely floored by Vulkan seeing her as a gifted smith first and foremost.


Added DiffLines:

* WarriorPoet: Jaghatai Khan is actually quite the philosopher, under his barbarian demeanour and attire.

* MoodWhiplash: When the Mysterious Stranger [[spoiler: The Emperor in Disguise]] asks for Vulkan's loyalty, Vulkan claims that there will be a series of Trials. Now, for the Emperor, this sort of thing is fairly common when meeting new sons- after all, Leman Russ challenged him to drinking and fighting. The atmosphere is fairly serious... and then Vulkan calls out for board games to be brought to him. The Stranger is visibly confused.

Also for singlehandedly recovering from the wounds and infection sustained for doing so, and finally standing up on her own two feet after the first Dark Eldar attack and literally defining the concept for Vulkan.
