For more information, see here.

WARNING! There are unmarked Spoilers ahead. Beware.

Eddis

Eugenides

Ain't Too Proud to Beg: The only one who can invoke this from him is Attolia, in her very scary The High Queen persona.
Air Vent Passageway: The escape by this method didn't work as well as it should have, thanks to interference from a certain someone. See Cosmic Plaything.
Authority Equals Asskicking
Badass
Badass Back
Badass Boast: "I can steal anything," followed by "I can do anything I want!" with a helping of This Is Sparta.
Be Careful What You Wish For: He wanted to marry his love. He married her, along with all the responsibilities and obligations that came with the position.
Break the Cutie: Broken horribly and tragically in the second book.
Brought Down to Normal - Subverted.
Bunny Ears Lawyer
The Chessmaster
Comes Great Responsibility
Consummate Liar: In the words of Eddis: "He always lies to me. He lies to himself. If Eugenides talked in his sleep, he'd lie then too."
Cosmic Plaything: The gods had a hand in some of his great, as well as his not so great achievements.
Crazy Awesome
Crazy Prepared
Crowning Moments Of Awesome: Has several throughout the series. Face it, where this Crazy Awesome, Bunny Ears Lawyer thief goes, awesome immediately follows.
Dance of Romance
The Dog Bites Back
Earn Your Happy Ending
Expository Hairstyle Change: After his episode of Break the Cutie, his long hair is cut short and it stays that way for the rest of the series.
First Episode Spoiler
First-Person Smartass: In the first book only.
Gallows Humor
Gentleman Thief
Hammerspace Hair: Part of his first plot: hiding something essential in his long hair.
Happily Married
Heroic BSOD / Heroic RROD
He's Back: Makes a spectacular and ground-breaking return after his episode of Angst in the second book.
Hyper Awareness
Impossible Thief: He goes from a lowly thief in the prisons of Sounis at the beginning of the series to the sovereign of all three countries by the end of the series; Eddis, Sounis and Attolia. Though to be fair, he was in prison by his own choice and only pretending to be "lowly".
I Should Write a Book About This: How the first book came into being, apparently. Sophos does something similiar to create A Conspiracy of Kings.
Jumped At the Call
Leap of Faith: He believes he'll only ever die of a fall if his god himself drops him. (And once your god betrays you, you really don't have any hope left anyway.)
Let's Get Dangerous
Like Brother and Sister: With Eddis.
Love At First Sight: Towards the Queen of Attolia
The Masochism Tango
Meaningful Name: Eugenides is also the name of the god of thieves, and as he's the Queen's Thief, it's his name as well as his title.
Memetic Badass
No Hero to His Valet: As much as his childhood friend Eddis respects him, she still says explicitly that she would sooner strangle him than marry him. She also tells the woman he's in love with how much of a liar he is.
Not Cheating Unless You Get Caught
Obfuscating Stupidity: In the first book. Funny thing is, he's the narrator, using the first-person perspective. Somehow he manages to fool the reader without leaving out anything that would be noticed.
Reluctant Ruler: He married his wife because he loved her, not because he wanted her throne.
Reluctant Warrior
Royals Who Actually Do Something
Screw The Rules, I'm Eugenides!
Sherlock Scan
Stalker with a Crush:
Street Urchin: See Obfuscating Stupidity.
Trickster Mentor
Turn Out Like His Father: At first, he despised fighting and killing like his father did, but it soon became a necessary skill for him to keep his position and his life.
