Added DiffLines:

* ConsummateProfessional: ''The'' defining quality of Philip Marlowe alongside being a KnightInSourArmor and DeadpanSnarker. Philip Marlowe refuses to accept multiple contracts on the same job, more money than what he was offered, or violate his client's confidentiality. He cannot be bought, bribed, or intimidated into betraying his client or going off a case. Even when his clients are lying to him (and they always are), he's determined to show a great deal of loyalty to them.

Added DiffLines:

* ViceCity: Bay City is the location for a lot of Marlowe's adventures and it is a gangster ridden WretchedHive full of prostitution, gambling, and PoliceAreUseless. It's also a CaptainErsatz for Santa Monica in the 1930s.

Added DiffLines:

* CelibateHero: Phillip Marlowe, unlike Sam Spade or Mike Hammer, was someone who usually avoided the attentions of the female characters in the books until Linda Loring. Anne Riordan notably spends the entirety of ''Farewell, My Lovely'' chasing him only to come up empty.
