Line 49:
* [[First-Person Smartass]]: To the point that one of his defining traits in the Dresden Files RPG is "Epic Wiseass."
* [[For the Funnyz]]: Could be the poster boy for this.
* [[Full
* [[Freak
* [[Good Is Not Nice]]: Boy howdy.
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: ''Small Favor'' includes a partial listing of his (large) collection and he acquires more after that, including some very noticeable ones on his face in ''Turn Coat''.
Line 56:
** Now enhanced as of ''Changes'', one of the many benefits of {{spoiler|becoming the Winter Knight}}
* [[He Who Fights Monsters]]: In '''Ghost Story'', Harry comes to realize that the lines he crossed in ''Changes'' made him into the very things he was fighting. And then later in the book, realizes that this conclusion was an overreaction to one bad decision and that he's still fundamentally a good guy.
* [[Hot
* [[Honor Before Reason]]: Harry will swear up and down that he's an [[Anti-Hero]], but he's kind of exaggerating.
* {{spoiler|[[Hot Dad]]}}: Revealed in ''Changes''.
Line 69:
* [[Kindhearted Cat Lover]]: Harry's landlady considers him this. It's one of the reasons she hasn't thrown him out after missing rent checks and "[[Zombie Apocalypse|wild late-night parties]]."
* [[Loophole Abuse]]: He points out that the Law of Magic against {{spoiler|necromancy only applies to ''[[Raising the Steaks|human]]'' [[Tyrannosaurus Rex|dead]].}}
** He also uses this, crossed with [[Exact Words]] in ''Small Favor'', to avoid getting slaughtered by {{spoiler|Eldest Gruff. In this case, it works mostly because the [[Anti-Villain|Eldest Gruff]] [[My Master, Right or Wrong|wasn't that keen on killing Harry anyways]] and thus is [[Punch Clock Villain|willing to play along]].}}
* [[Male Gaze]]: Harry ''notices'' women who look good. This is one of his big character flaws and blind spots.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Malcolm Dresden was a stage magician, and thus named his son after three of the greatest stage magicians in history. And [[Fridge Brilliance|considering how many seemingly-impossible situations he's escaped from....]] Out-of-universe, his last name was also chosen in reference to the firebombings of the German city Dresden in [[World War II]], mostly because Harry has a similar effect on nearby buildings.
Line 93:
* [[Playing With Fire]]: He ''likes'' fire. It took Mavra crispy-frying his hand to make him stop using it.
** Though he also {{spoiler|becomes something of [[An Ice Person]] after becoming the Winter Knight in}} ''Changes''.
* [[Pop
* [[Rage Against the Mentor]]: Let's see. The first one he killed in self-defense, and the second one {{spoiler|was secretly the Council's assassin the whole time}}. Not a real great track record there.
* [[Restart At Level One]]: For most of the books, he's used to being the most magically powerful--and knowledgeable--person around. In ''Ghost Story'', he's repeatedly reminded of--and annoyed by--the fact that he's "the new guy" as far as {{spoiler|being a ghost}} is concerned, and he has to relearn a lot before he's effective at doing ''anything''.
Line 116:
* [[Wouldn't Hit a Girl]]
* [[Xanatos Speed Chess]]: From the get go, Harry demonstrates some pretty decent skills as a PI, but he develops some serious skills in the art of manipulation, cunning and developing plans to leave him winning something even if he doesn't end up with all the marbles at the end. Then again, he had {{spoiler|a Fallen Angel living in his head as a counselor for a couple years}}, so maybe that helped.
