Monstrous Regiment/YMMV
- Alternative Character Interpretation: Is Jackrum a leader and father of men, or a dinosaur, stuck in the old ways of fighting a war?
- Ensemble Darkhorse: Tonker and Lofty, our Girls Love duo have quite of a fandom on their own.
- Magnificent Bastard: Jackrum behaves like this sometimes.
- Blouse's Ping-Pong Naivete also puts him on this side once in a while, but, of course, he's out-bastarded by Jackrum.
- Jackrum thinks Polly's becoming this. By the end of the book, she's definitely set in at Manipulative Bastard level at least.
