Johannes Cabal the Detective: Difference between revisions

 

----

* [[Came Back Wrong]]: Emperor Antrobus II.

* [[Chaste Hero|Chaste Anti-Hero]]: Johannes Cabal is this with some shades of [[Celibate Hero|Celibate Anti-Hero]]. He can't even tell when the resident [[Femme Fatale]] is making a pass at him and just thinks that she has an unnatural fascination with the [[Nightmare Fetishist|macabre]]. This amuses Leonie Barrow to no end.

* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: {{spoiler|Cabal cheats in order to beat Count Marechal and escape.}}

* [[Conscience Makes You Go Back]]: Much to Cabal's irritation when he realizes that while he may be a criminal mastermind, he still would rather be on the side of humanity than with genuinely evil, opportunistic leeches {{spoiler|like Moretti or Marechal which is what prompts him to go back to the aeroship.}}

* [[The Conspiracy]]

* [[Conspiracy Kitchen Sink]]: Mirkarvia, and all it's neighboring countries. {{spoiler|The Princess Hortense would count as well.}}

* [[Curiosity Is a Crapshoot]]

* [[Doomed Moral Victor]]: {{spoiler|Colonel Konstantin. He refuses to go along with the Count Marechal's new regime as it offends his sense of honor. Marechal does not respond well.}}

* [[Femme Fatale]]: Lady Ninuka

* [[Hero Antagonist]]: Leonie

* [[Honor Before Reason]]: Cabal calls Leonie this when {{spoiler|she decides to return to the Princess Hortense to finish the investigation because it's the right thing to do, despite Cabal telling her that it will most likely end in her getting killed as well.}}

* [[Locked Room Mystery]]

* [[MacGyvering]]: A simple trip to the local drug store and Cabal can create hair dye, reagents to revive the dead, and time bombs.

* [[One Bullet Left]]: {{spoiler|The final confrontation between Cabal and Marechal.}}

* [[Only a Flesh Wound]]: Subverted {{spoiler|with Cacon's death.}}

* [[Properly Paranoid]]: Cabal, much to his chagrin.

* Ruritania: Mirkavia and it's neighbors. In fact [[The Prisoner of Zenda|Ruritania]] is actually mentioned in a throwaway line.

* [[The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized]]: Cabal leaves Mirkarvia in a state of civil war. Both figuratively, and literally.

* [[Upbringing Makes the Hero]]: The reason why Leonie is the [[Lawful Good]] to Cabal's [[Chaotic Neutral]].

'''Leonie''': It's the same thing. It usually is. }}
