Line 35:
** You can see the scars on Gabriel's arms that he sustained in ''Sins of the Fathers'' in the opening sequence of ''The Beast Within''.
* [[Cowboy Cop]]: Arguably Mosely, who does things for Gabriel he probably shouldn't.
* [[Curse Escape Clause]]: Killing the very source of a werewolf's infection will end his curse. {{spoiler|This becomes very important after Gabriel is infected and he must find and kill the head of the Bavarian werewolves to become human again.}}▼
* [[Cursed with Awesome]]: The immortal in part 3.
▲* [[Curse Escape Clause]]: Killing the very source of a werewolf's infection will end his curse. {{spoiler|This becomes very important after Gabriel is infected and he must find and kill the head of the Bavarian werewolves to become human again.}}
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Gabriel and Grace both have their moments.
* [[Depraved Bisexual]]: Preiss in ''The Beast Within''
Line 52:
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Wolfgang, and in a big way. {{spoiler|He literally rips his own heart out in order to let Gabriel retrieve the ''Schattenjäger'' talisman.}}
* [[Herr Doktor]]: Herr Doktor Klingmann, of course.
* [[Human Sacrifice]]: Features heavily in ''Sins of The Father''.▼
* [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]: The villain of the third game summons a demon to kill Gabriel. Gabriel killing the demon kills the villain.
▲* [[Human Sacrifice]]: Features heavily in ''Sins of The Father''.
* [[Hyperspace Arsenal]]: Lampshaded at one point in ''Beast Within'', when Grace comes upon a quite large "PRIVAT" sign, about as long as someone's torso. To show that she's taking it with her, the actress -- the camera's POV being from the neckline up -- holds it upright and slides it down... [[Victoria's Secret Compartment|somewhere]]... and then turns back around and walks back towards the camera. There's no noticable bulge in her clothing, and she's not wearing her large coat at the time. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxY8bBEQC78&t=4m18s It's actually rather amusing.]
** Hell, at one point she has a pigeon wrapped in a pillowcase stuffed into her coat, which she then smuggles past a bunch of guards at a major tourist attraction.
* {{spoiler|[[I Cannot Self-Terminate]]}}: "You must do it!", as he throws Gabriel his rifle.
** Mild subversion: {{spoiler|von Glower can't kill von Zell because of their werewolf bond, and it's entirely possible the whole hunting trip was just a [[Batman Gambit]] to get Gabriel to do the job for him.}}
* [[Leitmotif]]: Some of which (Gabriel's theme, the Schattenjäger theme) span over all three games.▼
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Gabriel.
* [[King of Beasts]]: Schloß Ritter has a lion motif in its decor that Grace unabashedly snarks on: "King of beasts. That about sums it up!"
* [[Large Ham]]: Kriminalkommissar Leiber.
▲* [[Leitmotif]]: Some of which (Gabriel's theme, the Schattenjäger theme) span over all three games.
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: In the first game, Gabriel has a whole closetful of white shirts and jeans. In the sequels, the characters apparently didn't pack more than one set of clothes to travel abroad.
* [[Made of Iron]]: Dr John is every bit as resilient as he is big. In certain death scenes he takes a roundhouse kick to the face or several right hooks to the jaw followed by several blows to the stomach. None of them even make him flinch.▼
* [[May-December Romance]]: Gerde and Wolfgang.
* [[The Maze]]: Bayou St. John in the first game. You can't navigate without a tracking device.
▲* [[Made of Iron]]: Dr John is every bit as resilient as he is big. In certain death scenes he takes a roundhouse kick to the face or several right hooks to the jaw followed by several blows to the stomach. None of them even make him flinch.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Gabriel Knight, hearkening to the angel and the job, of course; furthermore, the name "Ritter" is a German title meaning roughly "knight" and translates literally into "(a male) knight."
* [[Moon Logic Puzzle]]: GK3's infamous [http://www.gabrielknight4campaign.com/cat_hair.php "cat hair mustache" puzzle], which ''[[Old Man Murray]]'' used as an example of how adventure gaming killed itself and which is the inspiration for the current trope image. {{spoiler|You must make a fake mustache to disguise yourself as a man who doesn't have a mustache (after drawing one on his ID) by scaring a cat through a hole you've rigged with tape and then affixing the stolen cat hair to your lip with maple syrup. 'Cause that's what makes the disguise ''pop''.}}
