*TheAtoner: [[spoiler: At the end, Marcos remains in Nephite times to serve them, as atonement for his many crimes with the Gadiantons.]]

*BreakThemByTalking
ArcherArchetype: Harry ends up being the only member of the company with a bow, and manages to shoot at least one man with it in an engagement.
* BreakThemByTalking: Jacob tries to destroy Melody’s faith in God and make her embrace [[DealWithTheDevil the power of the Divine Jaguar.]]

*ColdBloodedTorture
ColdBloodedTorture: Jacob is a fan of this, although mercifully, the one he gives to Melody is non-spiky in nature.
*CollapsingLair
CollapsingLair: Not by intention. Jacob’s island prison (and indeed his city) are torn apart by natural disasters unleashed by Christ’s death, which creates this effect as Jim and co are escaping it.
* CultDefector: Lamachi.

**Besides trying to portray the era accurately, there’s also a lot of work done to match with the scriptural account. Readers may be surprised to see Jacob Moon and Jacobugath called out by name in Christ’s denunciation, but that really is in there! Similarly, Christ doesn’t arrive until several months after the disasters, instead of soon afterward like Church films present it as.
