3	[[folder:Samet]]
4	* AmbiguouslyHuman : He is considered to be hellspawn, and it's hinted that Varorgirin may be not just his faery godmother but his actual grandmother.

7	* BadassBookworm

9	* BadPowersGoodPeople :
10	* BeingGoodSucks : [[spoiler: He gets tortured, stabbed, and has to cut off his own hand because he chose to do the right thing]]
11	* BroughtDownToNormal : Take away his magic, and he's pretty close to helpless. Though he's still a very clever man with a penchant for alchemy
12	* ClaimedByTheSupernatural : He is a sorcerer, and thus according to the lore of the world he is destined for hell. Whether this is actually true is unknown.
13	* CursedWithAwesome
14	* DarkIsNotEvil : How dark he is may be is debatable.
15	* DeadpanSnarker : He occasionally has a problem knowing when to shut up
16	* EldritchAbomination : He's often treated as this by people who know he is a sorcerer
17	* GoThroughMe
18	* GoodSamaritan : Pays urchins to do menial tasks just to make sure they have coin, even heals one from a life-threatening injury.
19	* GoodIsNotSoft : His go to way of dealing with his enemies involves a lot of KillItWithFire
20	* GrandRomanticGesture : For a sorcerer, [[spoiler: it's hard to beat trusting someone with your truename]]
21	* HeroicResolve : [[spoiler: When his hand gets cut off, he's not the one that flinches]]
22	* IAmNotMyFather
23	* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy : Is willing to make his relationship with Ethan polyamorous if that is what Ethan wants, as well as to let Ethan take up a dominate role even though Samet wouldn't enjoy either.
24	* LetsWaitAwhile : Though he is clearly attracted to Ethan very early, he waits until he's damn sure Ethan is actually consenting, even rejecting Ethan's first moves a couple times because he doesn't think Ethan is in his right mind.
25	* LimaSyndrome : Has shades of this toward Ethan.
26	* NiceGuy
27	* NonActionGuy : He could have saved himself a lot of pain if he'd ever learned which end of a sword to hold instead of relying entirely on his magic
28	* MadScientist : Has this trait, often played for laughs
29	* PowerOfTrust : The fact that he trusts Ethan unconditionally quite probably saved the world.
30	* PropertyOfLove : Despite being the 'master' in their relationship, [[spoiler: he has this to Ethan because Ethan knows his true name]]
31	* UndyingLoyalty : To Ethan. The man shrugs off being demonically possessed because Ethan is in trouble.

33
34	[[folder:Ethan]]
35	* BadassNormal
36	* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe : Becomes actually attracted to Samet when Samet spares Sir Vincent at Ethan's request.
37	* BodyguardingABadass : Acts at Samet's bodyguard despite Samet being without question the most powerful man in the world.
38	* BreakTheCutie : Vadin broke him. Samet put him back together.
39	* BrokenBird
40	* ConditionedToAcceptHorror : After what he went through with Vadin, traveling through the beyond and hell itself don't really bother him that much
41	* DeclarationOfProtection : Gives this to Samet.
42	--> Hell can’t have you, master. I won’t let it.
43	* FriendlyFireproof : Samet is a creature of fire, and he loves Ethan. Thus Ethan can walk through an inferno or hell itself and not get singed
44	* GoThroughMe : Does this for Samet a few times, though Samet does occasionally make him stand down.
45	* HappinessInSlavery : Though by the time he's happy, it's rather questionable to call him a slave even if he does still address Samet as 'master' on occasion
46	* HatesBeingTouched : Not necessarily hates, but if you touch him when he isn't expecting it or he's having a PTSD episode he tends to lash out violently.
47	* IfItsYouItsOkay : He's not into men, just Samet
48	* LadyAndKnight : Samet is a guy, but Ethan still acts as his knight in many ways. When they aren't being a full on BattleCouple
49	* MadeASlave : Vadin did this to him
50	* ParentalSubstitute : Technically an orphan. His mother died in childbirth, but there was sufficient age difference between him and his older brother Robert that Robert and Tabitha simply stepped up as his parents.
51	* PropertyOfLove : Both played straight and averted. [[spoiler: He calls Samet master, but he knows Samet's truename, thus the actual power in the relationship lies with him]]
52	* RapeAndSwitch : Somewhat averted. He's not gay despite being with Samet.
53	* ScarpiaUltimatum : Vadin gave him one
54	* ServileSnarker : His progress on the road back from his DespairEventHorizon can be measured by how comfortable he is snarking at Samet.
55	* SexSlave : Was Vadin's.
56	* ShellShockedVeteran : It's clear at times that he is still suffering from PTSD
57	* StockholmSyndrome : Even his relationship with Samet still has some shades of this

59	* TheWoobie
60	* WarriorPrince : Was one. Over the course of the story he slowly becomes one again.

62
63	[[folder:Warlord Vadin]]
64	* ActionDad
65	* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: He's not a king. He's a warlord.
66	* BigBad : Willing to destroy the world to get what he wants
67	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes : Genuinely loves his son and is an affectionate father. He even nags Samet about grandkids
68	* EvilOverlord
69	* AFatherToHisMen : It's more because he knows the value of loyalty than actual caring, but he is a BenevolentBoss toward his soldiers
70	* FauxAffablyEvil : Though he actually does respect King Robert, and it's possible some of his later friendly behavior toward Robert is a result of knowing Robert protected Samet.
71	* ForTheEvulz : His torture of Ethan is actually to power up an artifact, though it's hinted this is also a factor.
72	* KickTheDog : Vadin is utterly brutal to Ethan, torturing him physically and psychologically in addition to raping him.
73	* OffingTheOffspring : Averted. Vadin would rather die than hurt his son. When he thinks he has killed Samet, he has a VillainousBreakdown
74	* PapaWolf : An odd version because he's well aware Samet can take care of himself, but he's still protective of Samet and backhands someone for insulting his son
75	* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans : Part of the motive for his actions seems to be that he thinks the world would be a lot better off with Samet ruling it.
76	* WorthyOpponent : Is actually quite cordial to Robert and seems to think they should have a FriendlyEnemy relationship despite what Vadin did to Robert's little brother. He even expects Robert to get on board with the idea of an alliance and a marriage between Samet and one of Robert's daguhters.
77	[[/folder]]
78
79	[[folder:King Robert]]

83	* TheGoodKing
84	* GoodIsNotNice : Arrests Samet and attempts to beat information out of him
85	* HappilyMarried
86	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure : Once he realizes Samet is trying to help, Robert becomes his supporter and protector
87	* ReluctantWarrior : He didn't want to be a war leader. He wanted to build universities.
88	* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething
89	* ParentalObliviousness : It takes him a ridiculously long time to realize the nature of the relationship between Samet and Ethan. He also never noticed the relationship between Sir Vincent and Sarah
90	* PapaWolf : Do not mess with his kids. He later extends this toward Samet as well.
91	* PromotionToParent : Ethan is actually his much younger brother rather than his son
92	[[/folder]]

96	* TheConsigliere : His official role to King Robert
97	* TheGoodChancellor
98	* NoHarmRequirement : Being a Prelate means he's forbidden weapons or to engage in violence. However, it's also against the rules to harm Prelates
99	* OldFriend : He and Robert have known each other since childhood and are almost like brothers at times.
100	* ParentalAbandonment : Played straight and averted. He's forbidden from actually being a father to his son, but figures out how to take a third option by having Sir Vincent brought into Robert's household.
101	* SoProudOfYou : Despite the laws forbidding him from openly parenting his son, he is clearly a good father and takes pride in Sir Vincent.
102	* WillNotTellALie : His oaths prevent him from telling an outright falsehood, though he does occasionally pull the YouDidntAsk card and at least once just flat out begs Robert to stop asking him questions.
103	[[/folder]]
104
105	[[folder:Sir Vincent]]
106	* AlwaysSaveTheGirl : Averted. He clearly wants to rush off to save Sarah, but knows Samet getting the wards back up is more important. However, when Samet tells him it's alright, Sir Vincent doesn't hesitate a moment to rush into the LandOfFaerie to save her
107	* BadassNormal : Clearly the best of Robert's knights [[spoiler: Later averted when he gets turned into a werewolf]]

109	* {{Determinator}} : Gets an arrow through his foot and nearly strangled, and still tries to keep coming.
110	* FearlessFool : Samet notes that Sir Vincent is either the bravest or stupidest man he's ever met. Samet is leaning toward the latter.

116	* OddFriendship : Samet seems to appreciate that Sir Vincent hates him for actual reasons rather than just because Samet is a sorcerer.

118	[[/folder]]
119
120	[[folder:Princess Sarah]]
121	* AngerBornOfWorry : Most of her dislike of Samet comes from the fact he nearly killed Sir Vincent.

123	* DamselInDistress
124	* LadyAndKnight
125	* MarryForLove : The man she wants to marry is a landless bastard
126	* PrincessClassic
127	* ProperLady
128	* RescueRomance : Though from the sounds of it, she rescued Sir Vincent as often as he rescued her.
129	[[/folder]]
130
131	[[folder:Margaret]]
132	* BrainyBrunette
133	* CombatPragmatist : If she has to fight she will start hitting people with whatever is handy, such as candlesticks and fireplace pokers

136	* MayDecemberRomance : Has no problem with the idea of a PerfectlyArrangedMarriage to King Sikander
