Line 10:
* [[The Hero]]
* [[Hot Amazon]]: With one exception, ''All'' of Sten's love interests above the 'one-night stand' level are this. And that one exception (Princess Sofia) barely lasts long enough to avoid being called a fling, and his involvement with her was partly driven by political considerations in the first place.
** In fact, Sten reflects that his hooking up with Lt. Haines (one of the aforementioned Amazons) was at least partly driven by the fact that he was desperate enough to ask out ''any'' woman he knew to avoid being partnered up with Sofia as her escort at a diplomatic reception (she was seeking to renew their old relationship, he strongly disagreed precisely because he'd so strongly gone off of princess types), and
* [[Hurting Hero]]: But very [[The Stoic|stoically]]
* [[Mighty Whitey]]: Not played straight, but invoked in one book. After Sten helped the [[Proud Warrior Race|Bhor]] in a '''bad''' situation, they mythologized him as "the greatest fighter, lover, and drinker in Bhor history." When he learns this, he comments, "In the whole time I was there, I only got laid twice, and I lost almost every battle except the last." Not to mention that no human can keep up with Bhor alcohol intake.
