Line 7:
* [[Affably Evil]]: He can be very civil, and even nice when he wants or needs to be.
* [[Cain and Abel]]: The Cain to his brother Sergei's Abel.
* [[Deal Withwith the Devil]]: He makes a deal with an entity<ref>Likely a manifestation of the Dark Powers</ref> called Death to become a Vampire.
* [[Dogged Nice Guy]]: How he acts towards Tatyana, his brother's fiancee. At first.
* [[Green-Eyed Monster]]: Invariably reverts to this when Tatyana's latest reincarnation stays out of his reach.
Line 13:
* [[Necromancer]]: A very, ''very'' good one.
* [[Ominous Pipe Organ]]: He is quite good at playing one, as shown when he has his duet with Jander Sunstar in ''Vampire of the Mists''.
* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]: He became a vampire by making a [[Deal Withwith the Devil]] instead of being infected like a lot of other vampires.
* [[Reincarnation Romance]]: What Strahd tries to engineer with Tatyana about once a generation. [[Failure Is the Only Option|It'll NEVER work]].
* [[Sibling Triangle]]
Line 70:
* [[Bad Dreams]] / [[Recurring Dreams]]: His curse. In Hazlik's dreams, he's powerless before the enemies who humiliated him. As a consequence, [[The Insomniac|he tries to stay awake as long as possible]]. [[Failure Is the Only Option|It never lasts long]].
* [[Bald of Evil]]
* [[Ban Onon Magic]]: Prior to the Grand Conjunction, Hazlik outlawed arcane magic in Hazlan. After the Conjunction temporarily returned him back home, and he saw how his enemies had advanced, he revoked the ban in the hopes of gaining revenge.
* [[Depraved Homosexual]]: Averted. He is a highly depraved individual, and he is homosexual, but the two factors have almost nothing in common. His Act of Ultimate Darkness was related to the man he had lusted after, but he was banished to Ravenloft for cutting out the man's heart and forcing his girlfriend to eat it, not for lusting after another man.
* [[Embarrassing Tattoo]]: [[Played for Drama]]. Hazlik's tattoos, inflicted on him by his enemies, mark him as effeminate. Literally; the tattoos he has all over him basically proclaim "I am a woman".
Line 90:
* [[Chaotic Evil]]
* [[Hair-Trigger Temper]]
* [[Mix-Andand-Match Man]]
* [[Frankenstein's Monster|Mordenheim's Monster]]
* [[Pinocchio Syndrome]]: Wants to be accepted as a man, not a monster. His curse is that he'll never achieve this.
Line 158:
=== Sodo, Darklord of Paridon ===
 
* [[Blessed Withwith Suck]]: Who wouldn't kill for a touch that can heal all wounds and even raise the dead? A sadist addicted to pain, that's who.
* [[Blood Magic]]: Sodo keeps himself immortal by killing six people once every 13 years with a magical dagger, and using their blood in a dark ritual.
* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]: Rose to power by engineering the death of his superiors, like so many other Darklords.
Line 171:
* [[Hair-Trigger Temper]]: Notably, he dropped everything to punish the shadow fey for escaping from him - and got trapped as a Darklord.
* [[Necromancer]]: Not one of his better-known powers, but he can control any undead in the Rift.
* [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can]]: He's trapped in the Obsidian Gate, unable to directly affect the Demiplane, but he can mentally influence the shadow fey and throw out the occasional magical effect.
* [[Viral Transformation]]: Can transform 'normal' fey into shadow fey at will, but can't compel their obedience.
