* AlmightyMom: an almost literal example. High King Lilith was the first ruler of hell and the only being Azazel has ever feared, in addition to being his mother.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Nephera, Lucifer and Azazel are all possessed of exceptional intelligence and able to swiftly analyze and respond to situations.
* BecomingTheMask: Kasarian went from a hopeful young boy to being forced to mask his emotions all while indulging his innate sadism. By the present, the line between act and reality is blurred to nonexistence.

* GoneHorriblyRight: Azazel wanted to push the angels to challenge him. He got ''exactly'' what he wanted.
* KillItwithFire: Lucifer's preferred method with the Morningstar flames. [[spoiler:Andras is on the receiving end with his face nearly melted, and he gives Azazel a full burst to completely annihilate his soul.]]

* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Karadas Baal--as consistent with his characterization of ''Kiss of Wrath''--is a conniving, smug, but ultimately ineffectual coward and blowhard, and easily one of the least threatening of the Baal family despite his bluster and lack of redeeming qualities. Then he gleefully spearheads the massacre of an entire demon house, and rubs it in Vinea's face that Nephera will be passed along for King Azazel's pleasure.
