Line 134:
* [[Agent Mulder]]: See [[The Determinator]] below.
* [[Ambition Is Evil]]: Subverted. He initially appears to be a greasy pole climber, willing to sacrifice his friends for the sake of his reputation - at one point it even briefly looks as though he's actually turned evil - but this is all part of a plan to get access to the information required to {{spoiler|clear Jowd's name}}.
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: A symbol of his character and his motivation: the path of the perfect, unstained white coat.
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Even though Inspector Cabanela speaks strangely, picks favorites, and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tstZfrt_NN4 dances] constantly to the point where he tap dances through crime scenes, he's kept his job because he has a "natural genius for investigating." His colleagues are spotted practicing his Fred Astaire dance on a staircase, hoping to somehow absorb his power.
* [[Create Your Own Villain]]: {{spoiler|Yomiel}}.
Line 144:
* [[Friendly Enemy]]: To Detective Jowd.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: After losing {{spoiler|Yomiel}} ''twice'' (first, by {{spoiler|letting him escape from the interrogation room}}, and then, {{spoiler|when his body disappeared from the morgue}},) what is the first thing Cabanela does when {{spoiler|he meets him the third time? He shoots a tracing device into him to avoid losing him ''again''}}. And Cabanela ''knew'' he'd meet {{spoiler|Yomiel}} again, because he'd already seen him in the junkyard's security tape.
* {{spoiler|[[Good All Along]]: He's always going after Lynne and Jowd to ensure they're arrested... and even brings them before the Justice Minister. He's said to be escalating through the rankings because he's got a great ambition, and he wears a white coat to represent a perfectly clean history. However, there's a good explanation for that: Lynne and Jowd got into trouble by exceeding the limits of the law (even for a good end), so Cabanela didn't think it would do him any good to do the same by letting them run around on the loose. And his history? He wanted a high rank so he could be able to investigate the case of The Manipulator with first-hand intel and conduct it accordingly. All that to help prove Jowd's innocence. He was even cooperating with the Pigeon Man, who was studying the source of The Manipulator's powers}}!
* [[The Gunslinger]]: Characteristically, he puts a lot more showmanship into drawing his weapon than other people.
* [[Hammerspace]]: His appearance in the ending cutscene. Where did that bouquet ''come'' from?
Line 151:
* [[Man in White]]: Except his red scarf.
* [[My Greatest Failure]]: Letting {{spoiler|Yomiel}} escape with his gun.
* [[Scarf of Asskicking]]: And a rather long one.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Some of his dances are based on [[Michael Jackson]]'s.
* [[Silly Walk]]: Half-walks, half-dances to places.
* [[Skunk Stripe]]
* [[Sympathetic Inspector Antagonist]]: Subverted; He later turns out to have been {{spoiler|shielding Jowd the entire time}}.
Line 165:
* [[Almighty Janitor]]: Formerly a {{spoiler|police coroner}} and now studies radiation from space rocks in his spare time. That's pretty smart.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Being paired with somebody like Cabanela gives him a lot of room for snarking at his antics.
* [[Head Pet]]: He has a pigeon perching on his head.
* [[No Name Given]]: We never get to know his real name, be it the given one or the surname.
* [[The Professor]]
Line 179:
* [[Big Fun]]
* [[Clear My Name]]
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Especially as Sissel attempts to reverse his death. Being a [[Death Seeker]], he freely offers any snide comment and sarcastic quip he can.
* [[Death Seeker]]: When you first meet him. He's more than willing to be executed, feeling guilty over the deaths of Alma and {{spoiler|Yomiel}}, and not wanting {{spoiler|Kamila to suffer from the guilt of killing Alma with her birthday contraption}}. But then Sissel saves him from execution, and he suddenly has a newfound reason to live.
* [[Dude in Distress]]: Sissel has to save him from being executed.
* [[Guilt Complex]]
* [[Institutional Apparel]]: Under a pink artist's smock.
Line 187:
* [[My Significance Sense Is Tingling]]: His trusty "Detective sense".
* [[Older Sidekick]]
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: He wears a pink artist's smock over his prison uniform. Though, arguably, when you're in jail for murdering your wife, your manly reputation is probably not such a big deal.
* [[Taking the Heat]]: For the death of his wife, {{spoiler|which he originally believed to be accidentally caused by Kamila, later revealed to be the work of Yomiel}}.
