Line 9:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]:
{{quote|'''Manny''': This deck of cards is a little frayed around the edges. Then again, so am I, and I've got fewer suits.}}
* [[Determinator]]: Manny's ultra-competitive, and even [[Lampshadeslampshade]]s it in Year One, and he's chasing after a woman he only met once and can't forget (Olivia calls him a "chump" for it).
* [[Don't Fear the Reaper]]: It's just his job. Manny doesn't fit traditional expectations of [[The Grim Reaper]] much - them being along the lines of forbidding, laconic and tall. Instead, Manny's charming, sarcastic, happy to talk his way into or out of trouble, and... short. Really ''really'' short. He wears lifts on his shoes under the cloak. [[The Reveal]] of this in the intro is probably one of the funnier sight gags in adventure gaming history.
* [[Gratuitous Spanish]]: Apparently [[Throw It In|thrown in]] by his voice actor and kept just because it sounded neat.
Line 77:
 
* [[Big Bad]]: Pretty much behind every bad happening, directly or indirectly.
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: Apparently while alive, he was a "very bad boy", and he didn't get any nicer when he died, since he keeps a huge garden of flowers, including a greenhouse, grown from the remains of those he subjected to a [[Fate Worse thanThan Death]] in his rise to power. That the place is beautiful and well-tended somehow makes it more horrifying.
* [[Evil Laugh]]: A spine-chilling, chuckling snort that seems to punctuate just about everything he says.
* [[Fat Bastard]]: Yes, with bones, somehow.
