| 18 | * FireForgedFriends: While not thrilled about working together in the beginning, after fighting side by side for some time they're ready to risk their lives for each other. |

| 20 | * HealingFactor: As vampires the coterie members have this ability. |
| 21 | * MoralityPet: Annabelle serves as this for the team. |
| 22 | * OddFriendship: A Ventrue, A Toreador, a Brujah, and a Nosferatu. |

| 72 | * SafeSaneAndConsensual: Annabelle only feeds on humans who are aware of her status as a vampire and consent to be fed on. This is a huge Masquerade breach. |
| 73 | * SoapBoxSadie: Constantly talks up the need to do good and improve the world, which the other vampires find tiresome. |
| 74 | * ThouShaltNotKill: Wouldn't kill a person, no matter if they wronged her or not. |

| 94 | * FreakinessShame: One of the reasons why he won't show himself to his girlfriend. |

| 96 | * TheGrotesque: His Embrace left him disfigured and ugly. |
| 97 | * TheHeavy: His role in the coterie is to be their main fighter and is Victor's go-to man when he needs to take care of problems. Becomes so pronounced that he winds up being asked to become [[spoiler:Sheriff of Los Angeles.]] |

| 125 | * ActionFashionista: Likes to look stylish while killing her enemies. |
| 126 | * AnimalMotifs: Spiders |

| 129 | * TheBeautifulElite: Is a member of this as both a Toreador and upper crust L.A. fashion designer. |

| 177 | '''Nelli:''' Whoah... Shots fired. |
| 178 | * {{Expy}}: Has been stated by B. Dave Walters to have been based (at least partially) on Suge Knight. He (ironically) lacks the RL man's AxCrazy tendencies, though. |
| 179 | * FamedInStory: Is a well known part of L.A.'s nightlife and a wealthy music producer. |
| 180 | * FatalFlaw: His impulsiveness gets him into trouble more than once - Victor will often try to quickly act to resolve an issue, only to cause a much bigger issue down the road. This also often means making decisions on behalf of other groups and Kindred without their consent. This has repeatedly threatened to alienate even his closest allies. |
| 181 | * FatherToHisMen: He values his employees and treats them with respect and care. The best example of this is Ib, his RightHandWoman in season one, who he protects and pleads with Fiorenza when she is to be taken away. |
| 182 | ** When Ib freezes up in her encounter with a lupine, he hugs her and then erases her memories to make her at peace. |
| 183 | ** He recklessly tries to sire his [[spoiler: dead security guard]] because of his protective instincts. |

| 192 | * MurderIsTheBestSolution: Has this view if mind-control or bribery doesn't work. |
| 193 | * NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: |
| 194 | ** He spares a Nosferatu after offering a job, only for the vampire to immediately betray him. |
| 195 | ** His attempt to help the Tremere Anarchs results in him losing half his Barony. |
| 196 | * PapaWolf: Will kill anyone who threatens his identical twin sons. |
| 197 | * PragmaticVillainy: Virtually all of his evil deeds are done with a minimum of collateral damage and with as little cruelty as possible. The exception being if you hurt his children or plan on it. |
| 198 | * RankUp: Becomes ''undisputed Baron of the Valley.'' [[spoiler: It doesn't last and he loses half his territory to Fiona.]] |
| 199 | * VampireMonarch: The Valley may be something Isaac Abrams resents having to police, but it's larger than the vast majority of vampire-controlled cities with almost 2 million residents. Becoming its leader makes Victor Temple one of the most powerful vampires in America. [[spoiler: He loses a good chunk of it to Fiona due to his recklessness at the Grove.]] |
| 200 | * VampiresAreRich: He is a rich musician and very much a vampire. |
| 201 | * VillainWithGoodPublicity: Uses Instagram and social media to protect himself from recriminations. The SAD are taken aback by it. |

| 213 | |
| 214 | X is a Malkavian who straddles the line between Fishmalk (a "wacky" mentally ill character) and a genuine depiction of his condition's tragedy. Here as even though he regularly makes appearances, he isn't part of the main coterie. |
| 215 | ---- |
| 216 | |
| 217 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: X decompensates ''hard'' when [[spoiler: a blood hunt is declared on Therese]]. He wants to get in the action ''bad'', and when the vamily goes off to pursue other plots, he [[spoiler: nearly drains and diablerizes Annabelle]]. The epilogue after, with Jasper trying to get him back on more stable ground, is ''incredibly'' tense. |
| 218 | * CloudCuckoolander: Is by far the strangest acting person in the show. |
| 219 | * ComicallyMissingThePoint: When attending the party for newly-minted Baron [[spoiler: Nelli G]], X interprets the invitation's call to include ''dress pants'' in one's ensemble (where appropriate)... by showing up wearing a dress ''and'' pants. Although claiming to not mean to appear such, it's enough that even ''Jasper'' finds it funny. |
| 220 | * TheCuckoolanderWasRight: Victor Temple, of all people, points out that most of X's insane ramblings are fairly accurate depictions of vampire society. |
| 221 | * ConvenientReplacementCharacter for Jasper while Alex Ward pursued other opportunities. |
| 222 | * DudeShesLikeInAComa: He prefers to feed on sleeping mortals. Since sucking someone's blood is seen as something very sexual it counts as this trope. |
| 223 | * FaceHeelTurn: The darker aspects of his nature cause him to turn on the vamily and attempt to [[spoiler:diablerize Annabelle.]] |
| 224 | * HearingVoices: Like all Malkavians. |
| 225 | * OddFriendship: Develops one with Annabelle. |
| 226 | * OnlyKnownByHisNickname: X is not his real name, but nobody knows what is. |
| 227 | * [[MistakenForMurderer Mistaken For Drug Dealer]]: A humorous example when at a club opening, X is assumed to be his drug dealer name (as in "Ecstasy"). X is actually taken aback at it being treated as a perfectly normal alias for the situation. |
| 228 | * ThePigpen: States that he's always smelly, due to a lack of personal hygiene beyond bathing in the ocean. |
| 229 | * RankUp: Is the Baron of Santa Monica alongside Jeanette after Therse's disappearance. |
| 230 | * SadClown: He is humorous and bizarre but also seriously mentally ill. |
| 231 | * SanitySlippage: Even for a Malkavian, X starts losing his shit and eventually turns on the coterie. |

| 295 | ---- |
| 296 | |
| 297 | * AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Is a great deal more brutal, ruthless, and intimidating than his appearance in ''VideoGame/VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines.'' There he acted more like a FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire if a bit snooty. Here, he's more like TheDon. |
| 298 | * BeenThereShapedHistory: As a vampire with considerable ties to the inner workings of Hollywood, this is pretty much expected of him. He also has a very long list of famous directors and actors he's befriended and financed over the years. |
| 299 | * BerserkButton: Do NOT mention Vannevar Thomas or the Camarilla's presence in Downtown L.A. |
| 300 | * BigGood: For some value of good but he's the effective leader of the Anarchs as a whole with Jeremy [=MacNeil=]'s departure. |

| 373 | * LesCollaborateurs: Is actively working with the Camarilla in exchange for financial gain. |
| 374 | * ManipulativeBitch: Is much better at this than other Kindred we've seen, almost persuading the coterie to side with her. |
| 375 | * NobleDemon: Therese prides herself to be this; unlike most of her "megalomaniac" peers, she always keeps her part of a bargain, unless the one she made a bargain with betrayed her first. |

| 396 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: Victor is never anything but warm and cordial to her but she actually gets ruder the nicer he is. |

| 405 | * SmugSnake: Everything about her seems less clever and dangerous than older more powerful vampires while being twice as obnoxious. |
