* [[Magical Native American]]: Two Bears/O'olish Amaneh. He does get genuine characterization though; in some ways he's almost a [[Hero of Another Story]]. It's also [[Justified]] as the [[Dungeon Master|Lady]] won't ''let'' him interfere in the main plot, sending him as an observer only.

* [[Shell Shocked Veteran]]: Derry Howe from ''Running With The Demon'' is what happens when this character is dumb, easily manipulated, and dropped into the middle of a town that's in the middle of a strike. Ross and O'olish Amaneh both have aspects of this.

* [[Sorting Algorithm of Evil]]: Each book's demon is more dangerous than the last one, most pronounced with the jump from {{spoiler|Stefanie}} to Gask. Definitely [[Justified Trope|justified]] by John Ross' epic level of badassery. Most demons go around sowing general chaos and are a roughly even match for a Knight of the Word, but by the third book they figure out that for Ross they need the demon (Gask) who specializes in hunting Knights. And even ''he'' recruits two more demons to help him.

* [[The Soulless]]: All demons. They're the remains of humans who sold their souls to The Void in return for more power.
