L* AwesomeEgo: Taylor Hapten, [[spoiler:actually Nyarlothotep]], is a boisterous villain who wants nothing more than to challenge and kill Hardestadt, his smug attitude about fighting making him all the more entertaining.
* CompleteMonster: [[spoiler:Nyarlothotep]], see [[spoiler:[[YMMV/NightsInLonesomeArkham his works' page]]]] for details.
* JerkassWoobie: Thomas Nero is a Cthulhian cult leader out to end all humanity, but he's already a grieving family man who lost his wife and daughter, and a pleasant man besides who truly thinks that he's doing is the right thing. He's not a terrible man, just a ''lost'' one, and Hardestadt points out as such.
* MagnificentBastard: Thomas Nero is a sorcerer driven to the brink of despair following the deaths of his family by the Great Old One, Cthulhu. Believing humanity destined to suffer under it lest he allow it to destroy them, Nero moves to link the monster to its daughter, Maggie Isla -- "Cythlla", as it calls her -- to usher in the apocalypse. Employing numerous gambits to throw Hardestadt and his companions off his trail, Nero shows time and again, what a worthy adversary he is. Even when mortally wounded and his plans stopped, Nero happily accepts there being a way for mankind to live on without destruction and gracefully passes into the afterlife to reunite with his beloved wife and daughter.
* TearJerker:
** [[spoiler:The ending farewell between Hardestadt and Maggie/Cthylla with her departure. While she couldn't have been expected to stay [[ForegoneConclusion into the present day]], Maggie is still forced to leave her old flame forever and leaves with an earnest farewell.]]
** Thomas Nero's [[spoiler:own death is something of a tragedy as well. He was evil, but sympathetically, understandably so, and he dies in absolute peace at the end of all things.]]

** Maggie -- or, technically, [[spoiler:Cthylla]] -- embraces her life and identity as Maggie Isla and literally tells her father to get lost, talking down [[spoiler:''Cthulhu himself''.]]
** The scope and breadth of Nero's (otherwise a BadassNormal in a world of vampires, werewolves, sorcerers and Outer Gods) manipulations has to be mentioned, as well. [[spoiler:As well as, as revealed by the end, Nyarlathotep's, who ends the story on a wickedly high note having taken out all obstacles against him and ending the story with a ''fiendishly'' stylish exit.]]
