Line 3:
== Alex Rider ==
* [[Anti
* [[Badass]]
* [[Brown Eyes]]: Described as having "serious, dark brown eyes".
Line 17:
* [[Master of Disguise]]
* [[Punch Clock Hero]]: He admits as such in ''Scorpia'', but this had been clear from ''Stormbreaker''.
* [[Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right]]: In ''Eagle Strike''.
* [[Shell
* [[Technical Pacifist]]
* [[Teen Superspy]]
Line 27:
* [[Adaptational Attractiveness]]: It is outright stated in ''Snakehead'' that Mrs Jones is "not attractive". Compare her appearance in the movie and the graphic novels. Even in earlier novels she was described as "a head shaped like a potato".
* [[Embarrassing First Name]]: "It made sense. He wouldn't have used that name either."
* [[The Un
== Alan Blunt ==
* Anti-Hero: [[Sliding Scale of Anti
** [[Good Is Not Nice]]
* [[Cool Old Guy]]
Line 53:
== Smithers ==
* [[Big Fun]]
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: You think his weight problems hinder him? You'd be right, but {{spoiler|he's surprisingly effective at getting rid of the Scorpia team that come his way}}. And then he's revealed to {{spoiler|not even be fat}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Dark Secret]]: To be revealed in ''Scorpia Rising'' as per [[Word of God]].}}
** And the revelation is... {{spoiler|Smithers is actually a thin man wearing a special suit that only makes him ''look'' fat.}}
Line 79:
== Wolf ==
* [[Training From Hell]]: Subjects Alex to this, to a degree.
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: He's wounded in the raid in ''Point Blanc'', and never heard from again.
== Ian Rider ==
Line 94:
== Tom Harris ==
* [[Secret Keeper]]: For the most part, although he does casually blurt out that Alex is a spy to his older brother.
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: He's heard from only once after he's {{spoiler|shot in ''Scorpia Rising''}}, and it's a passing mention. {{spoiler|The final chapter never bothers to mention if Alex ever talks to him once he returns from Cairo or meets him ever again, despite Alex having agonised over leaving him to go to America in an earlier chapter.}}
Line 106:
== Yassen Gregorovich ==
* [[All a Part of The Job]]
* [[
* [[Professional Killer]]
* {{spoiler|[[Redemption Equals Death]]}}
Line 114:

* [[Politically
* [[Mad Scientist]]
== Mrs Stellenbosch ==
* [[Amazonian Beauty]]: Inverted.
* [[Politically
== General Alexei Sarov ==
* {{spoiler|[[Driven to Suicide]]}}: By Alex's rejection of him, and the failure of his plan.
* [[Monster Sob Story]]
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The Blue to Conrad's Red.
* [[Well
== Conrad ==
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: His badly damaged body is good for throwing people off and making them assume he's not a capable combatant. They're very wrong.
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: Blew up his school for getting a detention.
* [[No One Should Survive That]]: He was blown up by a bomb. ''Whilst he was carrying it.''
Line 138:
* [[Drugs Are Bad]]:
* [[Expy]]: He's an evil [[Elton John]].
* [[Nuke
* [[Piano Drop]]: How his parents die.
* [[Pink Mist]]: This is ''all'' that is left of him after he gets sucked into a [[Turbine Blender]].
* [[Well
* [[Would Hurt a Child]]
Line 183:
== Ash ==
* [[Big Bad Friend]]: He murders his best friend, to whose son he is godfather, along with his wife, to prove he's loyal to Scorpia. He goes on to more or less ensure his godson will be killed by telling Major Yu about ASIS' plot and removing the battery from the homing device [[MI 6]] gives him.
* [[Co
* [[Expy]]: In many ways, he's a lot like [[Harry Potter|Peter Pettigrew]]
* [[Et Tu, Brute?]]
* [[The Mole]]
* [[Only Known By Their Nickname]]: "Ash" are his initials, his full name being {{spoiler|Anthony Sean Howell.}}
== Dr. Bill Tanner ==
* [[Co
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: Possibly; it's known that he kills himself, but why he does is never explained (it's suggested that he was following orders from Yu after Alex escaped, which given the fate of de Wynter earlier seems likely).
* [[Mad Scientist]]
Line 196:
== Desmond McCain ==
* [[Bald of Evil]]
* [[Line
* [[Scary Black Man]]
* [[We Care]]: His charity exists purely to gain whatever profit it can from the disasters by keeping as much of the donation money as it can. Perhaps taken to its extreme when he starts engineering disasters to get people to donate.
Line 203:
* [[Alliterative Name]]: His real name; Abdul-Aziz Al-Rahim.
* [[The Chessmaster]]
* [[For Science!]]: Takes no pleasure in his experiments.
* {{spoiler|[[Karmic Death]]: ''Yes''.}}
* [[Kick the Dog]]: Or rather, ''strangle'' the dog.
Line 210:
* [[Spanner in The Works]]: {{spoiler|He expects Jack to steal a knife when she and Alex are dining with him, as it's part of his plan to cause Alex emotional pain. Alex stealing a cigarette packet at the same meal is ''not'' part of his plan.}}
* [[The Sociopath]]: He is characterized by a complete lack of emotions or empathy.
* [[The Un
