27	----
28	* AffablyEvil: Incredibly polite and charming most of the time. Steers towards FauxAffablyEvil when he starts to rack up the body count, as when he politely threatens to drill a guy's eyes in and then kills him anyway or rams a screwdriver inside a guy's eye while soothing him. He even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] his status in a discussion with Nadia the stripper.

42	* DissonantSerenity: Always keeps his cool, especially when he murders people.
43	* EnemyMine: Sides with Dexter to kill the hitmen chasing him.
44	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Genuinely loved Victor. Was quite shaken up when Dexter [[ReminiscingAboutYourVictims lovingly described]] [[WouldYouLikeToHearHowTheyDied how he killed Victor]].
45	* EvilGenius: Clearly the brains of his operation.
46	* EyeScream: Gives one to an ex-employee...with a screwdriver.
47	* FaceDeathWithDignity: After being shot, he gently requests that Dexter take him out on the water so he can die quietly and be with Victor. He even gives Dexter some last advice.
48	* {{Gayngster}}: He eventually comes out of the closet to Dexter. While in a gay bar.
49	* GeniusBruiser: Clearly a smart guy and an ImplacableMan.
50	* GoKartingWithBowser: Shares a deep life exploration with Dexter in a bar.

53	* IHaveYourWife: Invokes this to force Dexter into [[EnemyCivilWar his side against two hitmen.]]
54	* ImplacableMan: The cops compare him to [[Franchise/{{Terminator}} The Terminator]] when they discover the crime scene.
55	* ItsPersonal: His reason for chasing Victor's murderer, a.k.a. Dexter.
56	* LivingLieDetector: Instantly spots when [[ConsummateLiar Dexter]] lies.
57	* TheMafiya: He's a high-ranking member of the Koshka Brotherhood, a Ukrainian crime syndicate that has a few operations in the USA.
58	* NobleDemon: He has a sense of honor, usually keeping his word.
59	* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Handwaved; he speaks with Ray Stevenson's own British accent, which is explained away as the result of his spending most of his childhood in a British boarding school.

65	* ShootTheDog: Forces a loyal barman to commit suicide to make the Police stop its investigation regarding Mike Anderson's death.

67	* TheSociopath: At first he gives off this impression, killing with no hesitation or remorse and relating a horrible story about almost killing his piano teacher as a child. Ultimately subverted: everything he does, he does out of love, grief and a sense of personal guilt.
68	* TragicVillain: Towards the last two episodes, when he's revealed as a lonely, closeted man who's lost the love of his life and is hunted by his own people.

70	* WickedCultured: He's a fan of opera.
