* [[Back From the Dead]] - {{spoiler|Daniel and Isaac. Maybe Édouard de Gex, but it's kept ambiguous.}}
* [[Badass Boast]] with a distinct flavor of [[I Have Many Names]]
{{quote|
* [[Badass Bookworm]] - Some of the characters (i.e. Dappa and Moseh de la Cruz) are very well educated but have amazing fighting skills
** Bonaventure Rossignol is a brilliant cryptanalyst who enjoys reading people's mail (encrypted or not) to find out if they're heading into danger just so he can run off to be a [[Big Damn Heroes|Big Damn Hero]].

* [[Loving a Shadow]] - Gets an interesting twist in Eliza's relationship with Bob. She references the trope, but notes that since Bob is healthy and level-headed, and Jack is a crazy syphilitic, Jack, the original love, is the one who looks more like a shadow.
* [[Made of Iron]] - Yevgeny is extremely tough and stoically endures even the most grievous injuries.
* [[Magnetic Hero]] - Jack is one. It's outright stated in the books that the people that Jack finds himself around would in any other situation be leaders and good ones- as van Hoek shows. But they all look towards Jack to take action.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Moseh de la Cruz.
{{quote|
Moseh did not appear to find it especially funny. "It is a long story -- even by ''your'' standards, Jack. Suffice it to say that the Iberian Peninsula is a complicated place to be Jewish." }}
* [[Mistaken for Special Guest]]: Jack Shaftoe, AKA "King of the Vagabonds," accidentally crashes a masquerade party that King Louis of France is expected to attend dressed as...King of the Vagabonds.
