* AllForNothing: [[spoiler: Ben discovers that Elena doesn't want to leave because she's a spy for LaResistance and joined to keep her family alive in the first place.]]
* AndThenWhat: Hendricks is constantly asking Ben this about his plans, highlighting they're ill-thought out and shortsighted.
* {{Antihero}}: Ben is willing to frame people, get families kicked out of their home, lie, cheat, and even murder in order to get back Elena. His perhaps worst behavior, though, is the treatment of his wife who he fully intends to abandon after he rescues his ex.



* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Ben's rival Roger Caplan.]]
* BecomingTheMask: Essentially the series' central hook. Aaron has been Ben for so long that he's slowly becoming him for real and it's causing him to suffer MotiveDecay.

** Julian is a TortureTechnician and the head of StateSec but oddly is one of the kinder individuals in the show. He views himself as NecessarilyEvil to keep some sort of infrastructure in place post-climate disaster. He always attempts to use the lightest touch possible.



* LaResistance: It turns out one exists [[spoiler: and Elena works for them.]]



* MotiveDecay: Ben getting married and becoming a executive were all part of the plans to rescue his girlfriend from being a SexSlave. However, he's since become so much like his cover identity and likes his wife that it's affecting him.
