Line 16:
* [[Crazy Jealous Guy]]: Simon doesn't take the revelation that the thief in ''Double Down'' is Jeremy's ex-lover very well. At. All.
* [[Domestic Abuser]]: Let's be honest: [[Double Standard|if Jeremy was female]], Simon would be considered an absolutely horrible person, because he very often treats Jeremy like shit {{spoiler|and once beat the hell out of Jeremy with serious intent to hurt him and had some ''very'' dubiously consensual sex}}. Although Simon does {{spoiler|start [[Character Development|getting his act together]] by the end of the third book}}.
* [[Green
* [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]]
* [[The Leader]]: Has elements of all four types, but mostly III and IV.
Line 30:
* [[Action Girl]]: Her character profile even notes that one of her roles is to be the "muscle". She's ''very'' good at smacking people around. Including her teammates.
* [[Blue Blood]]: She ''did'' try to be the kind of upper-class daughter her parents expected her to be. But she got bored with that and joined the FBI.
* [[Green
* [[The Lancer]]
* [[Mama Bear]]: Toward her teammates.
* [[Number Two]]: {{spoiler|Which causes some friction between her and Simon later on, as twice she has to take over for him as the leader of the team; once when he's out of commission, and again when he's suspended from active duty. It's difficult to go back to being second-in-command after that}}.
* [[Only Sane Man|Only Sane Agent]]
* {{spoiler|[[Time to Step Up Commander]]}}: {{spoiler|When Simon is taken out of commission by Farraday at the start of ''With a Bullet'', Sandra is very stressed out over having to take Simon's place. When Mike tries to give her a pep talk, she hits him<ref>For which she apologizes after he gives her a [[What the Hell, Hero?]]</ref>. The second time she's put in charge, she's much more sure of herself, but still hesitant because of the complexities it could raise when/if Simon returns.}}
* [[Took a Level In Jerkass]]: In the last two books she takes a level whenever she's dealing with Jeremy, but especially in ''High Fidelity'', where she almost always seems to be about five seconds away from ripping his throat out with her teeth.
Line 99:
* [[Love Martyr]]: See '[[Domestic Abuser]]' under Simon's heading. There's also the situation with Bran. {{spoiler|Jeremy's willingness to put up with ''incredible'' amounts of shit is mainly the result of being so starved for affection and love as a child}}.
* [[Loveable Rogue]]: Sure, he's a criminal, but he's a smooth operator and has no interest in physically harming anyone.
* [[Mission Impossible Cable Drop]]: He's very fond of these. Using [[What Do You Mean
* [[No Sense of Personal Space]]: Employs this with Simon. ''All the time''.
* [[Not a Morning Person]]: As Simon finds out in ''Double Down''.
Line 114:
* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]]
* [[Cain and Abel|Cain]]: To Jeremy's Abel.
* [[Cluster F
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Jeremy. They're both criminals, but Jeremy's a [[Gentleman Thief]] and Bran's an unrepentant murderer.
* [[Funetik Aksent]]: Played with; the way he pronounces words (''Jaysis!'') is mentioned in the prose, but it's heavily downplayed in his actual dialogue.
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: He blames all of his worldly problems on Jeremy, because Jeremy "stole" what was rightfully Bran's. Which isn't true, and Jeremy lampshades just how ridiculous a thing that is to say regardless.
{{quote| '''Jeremy:''' Not to belabor the obvious, but I ''am'' a thief. In fact, I'm the best thief in the world. And you're not.}}
* [[Hair
* [[In
* [[Irrational Hatred]]: Jeremy used to find it hurtful; at this point, it's still hurtful, but also extremely exasperating.
* {{spoiler|[[Karma Houdini]]}}: {{spoiler|A very ungentlemanly thief, murders innocent people, attacks Simon's team with intent to kill, tries to shoot Jeremy in the back, [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|and his choices in life greatly saddened and disappointed his father]]. Yet at the end of the series, he's about twenty-five million dollars richer, presumed dead by everyone save for a few select people, and will never have to work another day for the rest of his life if he so chooses}}.
* [[Nervous Wreck]]: Jeremy notes (and Bran later demonstrates) that Bran tends to dissolve into a panicked state of fight-or-flight when things don't go according to plan.
* [[The Unfavourite]]: Subverted. Bran is wholly convinced that he is this, but Ethan and Jeremy make it clear that it's very much not the case.
Line 128:
== "Colonel" Cole Farraday ==
* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]]: Although he bleaches his hair; it's not revealed what his natural hair colour is.
* [[Hair
* [[I Have Your Wife]]: Manages to get the drop on {{spoiler|''Jeremy'', of all people,}} with a taser, and eventually calls Simon to ask if Simon's "missing something". {{spoiler|Of course, Jeremy being [[Escape Artist|who he is]], Farraday didn't have much hope of holding onto him once Jeremy woke up}}.
* [[Insane Equals Violent]]
Line 141:
* [[Drives Like Crazy]]: According to her [[All There in the Manual|character profile]].
* [[Iron Lady]]: ''Hell'' yes.
* [[Passive
* [[The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask|The Woman Wearing The Iron Lady Mask]]: Started out this way in her career.
** [[Becoming the Mask]]: It stopped being a mask long before Simon meets her.
Line 157:
* [[Benevolent Boss]]
* [[A Father to His Men]]: Most obviously with Simon.
* [[In
* [[Good Counterpart|Law-Abiding Counterpart]]: To Ethan. Both Upstairs and Ethan are very trusting and protective of their charges (Simon and Jeremy, respectively), will bend rules to help them, have a lot of resources at their disposal, and both act as father figures.
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: Very, very much so.
