* BrokenPedastal: Cohen may have once been an ardent supporter of Ryan; Not necessarily because he believed in any of his policies, but for the simple reason that Cohen recognized Ryan as an awe-worthy figure and stuck around to see what would happen. Their falling-out was the result of similar, simplistic reasoning, with Cohen getting increasingly bored with Ryan's descent into a bog-standard dictator rather than any moral reservations. That said, leaving Cohen to rot in the dilapidated Fort Frolic probably didn't help matters.

This made Fontaine seem much more reasonable and charitable by comparison. Fontaine even [[PragmaticVillainy knew how to pragmatically lean into this perception]], helping people out and pretending it was a charity while secretly building an army and conspiring against Ryan.

* WhamLine: "Nice work, boyo!" It's not so much the line itself, as the context of how and when he says it. [[spoiler:Right after he says it, Atlas gives off an EvilLaugh now that Jack was made to use Ryan's genetic key to give control of Rapture to Frank Fontaine. Atlas also reveals that he and Fontaine are the same person, along with dropping the thick Irish accent he'd been using before.]]

* PragmaticVillainy: He opened up a poorhouse, feeding the hungry and taking care of people who were down on their luck, because it was a way for Fontaine to be a better ConArtist. In Fontaine's mind, there was no need to try and steal from people if he could just make them hand everything over. Fontaine doesn't really care a wick about anyone but himself, but he's at least capable of ''acting'' like he cares. This put Fontaine in stark contrast to Andrew Ryan, who seemed incapable of showing empathy to people who were down on their luck. This, in turn, made Fontaine a VillainWithGoodPublicity who was capable of rousing an army of blue-collar workers to go after Ryan and his goons, all while Fontaine just sat back and watched.

This also allowed Fontaine to, in Andrew Ryan's words, "be where the evidence isn't" whenever the cops or Ryan's goons came knocking, enabling Fontaine to continue his schemes in Rapture pretty much unopposed because he had so many people willing to help him out.
* ThanatosGambit: As [=McDonagh=] puts it in an audio log, Fontaine "wasn't overly inconvenienced by his own demise" when it came to forwarding his plans for Rapture. This is the first of many hints that [[spoiler:Fontaine isn't really dead, but rather faked his death and is still intending to grift Rapture as much as possbile]].

* MoodSwinger: Is quick to go from polite and erudite to frenzied and rabid at the slightest provocation. He unleashes a horde of Splicer minions upon Jack because he simply “thinks” he’s criticizing his artwork (Jack, as you should know by now, is mute).
