* MegaCorp: ArcTech, formerly Kurosawa-[=MacMillan=], is a corporation that is both directly responsible for the apocalypse (accidentally, admittedly) and for keeping Demonkind armed and equipped with the latest technology ever since the First Demon War. They produce everything from plasma cannons to aircraft to quantum computers, [[spoiler: and are gradually unlocking the secrets of Salem's father.]]

* OneManIndustrialRevolution: Salem's father, Abraham [[spoiler: MacMillan]], was a brilliant superscientist. He developed miniature fusion power, quantum computing, and NanoMachines, the latter of which he apparently had in working order at some time in ''TheNineties''. He's still around as a BrainInAJar thanks to another of his inventions, and since his death has continued developing brilliant new inventions with the help of his son.

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: [[spoiler: Salem's grandfather, Ted MacMillan, is directly responsible for the apocalypse and current state of the world, but his reasoning behind it is tragic. It turns out that he is in fact the biblical ''Cain'', cursed eternally to always resurrect with all his memories so that he always knows the pain he's unwittingly inflicted upon all of his descendants. He tries over hundreds of generations to be a better person, but no matter how much good he does God has no interest in forgiving him. Eventually he becomes fed up with it and uses one reincarnation to bring about TheAntichrist in the hopes that he will end the world and Cain, along with his cursed descendants, will finally be able to rest. Instead, God simply locks the gates to Heaven and the Legions of Hell are able to conquer Earth. By the time Salem finds him, he's become TheAtoner, trying to save as many as he can from Demonic rule while biding his time before he can hopefully undo the damage he's done.]]

* ScienceHero: Salem, hence why he's known as the Technomancer by some characters. He developed advanced swiss army tech bracers, specially designed plasma pistols, and was able to get extremely advanced pre-fall technology up and running to give himself an advantage for decades to come. Granted, his father provided the baseline for a lot of his tech, but it's made clear that he's learned enough to become a brilliant inventor in his own right.

Added DiffLines:

* BreakTheHaughty: Starting in ''Flotsam Prison Blues'', Salem's immature DeadpanSnarker personality starts being chipped away by a combination of horrific trauma, memories of his past traumas resurfacing, and the increasing realization of his importance to keeping his friends safe, as well as realizing just how much they all mean to him. By the end of ''Angels and the Bad Man'', he's been humbled significantly, but is also far stronger in his resolve to be the hero he needs to.
