* [[Iron Woobie]]: Patrick Galloway has been through a LOT that we know of and even more that we don't, most of which is all but stated to have scarred him in various fashions. Not that you would know it from how he acts. |

* [[Jerkass Woobie]]: The Covenants as a whole (excluding their parents) may fall into this category, but {{spoiler|Aaron}} is probably the most unambiguous example: {{spoiler|by all accounts he divided his time between doing nothing more sinister than painting pictures of Eternal Autumn and selling them to make a living and trying to keep [[Complete Monster|Bethany]] away from the standing stones, and who was promptly horrifically tortured to death for his trouble, and who as a result had his spirit separated from his [[And I Must Scream|still-living-and-eternally-dying body]] to act out the Undying King's wishes.

* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: Malaysia's [[wikipedia:Gempak|Gempak Magazine]] review of the game accused it of being Anti-Islamic due to the fact some of the bad guys look like Arab warriors and certain buildings in the game have messages they look like Scriptures from the Qur'an. Not helping things is the fact Patrick looks like Jesus. |

** Promptly ignoring the fact that the aforementioned Trsanti are [[Critical Research Failure|VERY explicitly not Islamic and indeed multinational]] (while a LOT of them do appear to be Arabic or at least dress like them, even more don't {{spoiler|particularly Ambrose, who is implied to be their commander on the estate)}} and who are bound together only by a shared lifestyle, lust for blood, and love for combat AND the fact that you spend a good portion of your time scything down (literally, if you choose) presumably Christian Monks. |
