Line 8:
* [[And Your Reward Is Clothes]]: Various outfits are unlocked throughout, such as a reference to the [[Chzo Mythos|source material]], an outfit to [[Harder Than Hard|make you all but visible when not pressed against the wall in complete darkness]], an outfit to [[Easier Than Easy|eliminate all alarm and taser limits]], or an outfit which, combined with the right perk, makes you completely invisible, [[Game Breaker|even in full light]].
** That said, though, both said outfit and the perk are difficult to get. In order to get the outfit, you need to Trilby-rank every normal heist, which only leaves the {{spoiler|bonus heist}} that you might not have completed yet, to use it on, and the perk costs a ''lot'' of reputation points. Still worth it, though.
* [[Anti -Hero]]: Much like Garret of the [[Thief]] series, Trilby steals partly for himself, but also mostly out of a personal crusade against what he sees as idleness and greed, only stealing things that the owner does not need, and targeting mainly the rich in a [[Robin Hood]] fashion. [[Word of God|Yahtzee himself]] later has noted that this behaviour is slightly delusional, and Trilby eventually discards it during the [[Chzo Mythos]] when he realises that this goal is utterly insignificant compared to [[Cosmic Horror|much, much more terrifying problems]]...
* [[Badass]]: Trilby. {{spoiler|He [[Stuff Blowing Up|destroys the Company headquarters]], and [[Kleptomaniac Hero|stole everything of value]] in the process.}} And canonically, he never attacked any security or was even ''seen''.
** Well, except when he was beaten up, captured, tied up and subjected to brainwashing, of course.
Line 14:
* [[Call a Hit Point A Smeerp]]: Although Trilby gets money from his various heists, he never actually does anything with it. Instead, in-game skill upgrades are purchased with "Reputation Points," which he earns for particularly impressive exploits.
* [[Call Forward]]: In the best ending, Trilby decides {{spoiler|to go back to England and start breaking into manors of the recently deceased}}, figuring it would be safer. He does this in [[Chzo Mythos|5 Days A Stranger]]: {{spoiler|it [[Cosmic Horror Story|backfires]] '''[[And I Must Scream|horribly]]'''}}.
* [[Coat, Hat, Mask]]: Trilby.
* [[Double Agent]]: Elizabeth Perota. {{spoiler|Or rather, a triple agent.}}
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Trilby will automatically abort the mission if he sets off too many alarms or tases too many guards.
* [[Hey ItsIt's That Voice]]: [[Zero Punctuation|Yahtzee's voice]] is very easy to spot if a guard detects you.
* [[Kleptomaniac Hero]]: But being a cat burglar, it's expected.
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: But so, so worth it.
