* GuardianAngel: Ethriel is this to Greg.

Lake Misquamicus was an unremarkable lake in Florida, unremarkable that is until suddenly it was filled with six billion gallons of blood, bile, pus, piss, shit and ...things... directly from the pits of Hell. First the public was in shock, then the government built a wall, and as time passed it became another urban legend. But for some, it has become a travel destination. Spring-breakers, drug-runners, and religious nuts. But a weekend getaway on the shores of Hell, may not be the safest idea...

* ChristmasCake: June is painfully aware that she's past her sell-by date, and that no one was buying even before it.

* DarkActionGirl: June turns out to be extremely talented at killing things. [[spoiler: So much so that Flavius ends up taking her as his queen.]]

* FauxAffablyEvil: Flavius is polite, friendly, disciplined, courageous and soft-spoken. He also ''really'' enjoys things like raping people to death and bathing in the blood of infants, and he thinks nothing of befriending people, gaining their trust, and then brutally killing them when they've outlived their usefulness.

** The Ameri-Golem is outfitted with one, much to Flavius' amusement.

* ISurrenderSuckers: After testing humanity's defenses, Flavius surrenders and lets himself be taken captive, all the better to manipulate the authorities into doing his bidding.

* NobleDemon: Deconstructed with Flavius. Yes, he's genuinely loyal to his masters to the point of selflessness... but his masters are ''demons,'' and Flavius is a complete psychopath who loves doing horrifying and sadistic things to people, so long as doing so doesn't get in the way of his duty.
