* WouldHitAGirl: Whether or not he was genuinely fond of Alex, he had no qualms shooting and dropping her to her death if it meant covering up his mistakes.

He caused the accident that put those mineworkers in danger in the first place, made no attempt to save the ones who got trapped, and had no qualms working with the higher-ups at the company to cover it up.

* EveryManHasHisPrice: Following Gabe's death, she's very tempted by Typhon's offer of a large sum of money in exchange for her agreement not to sue, since it would mean much greater financial security for Ethan over the next few years. Ultimately though, it's up to Alex (and the player) whether she ends up taking it or not.
Added DiffLines:
* ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules: If the player guides her away from accepting the EveryManHasHisPrice choice above, she and Alex will cite this as the reason not to take a pay-out if it means allowing Typhon to cover up the circumstances around Gabe's death.

* BeardOfEvil: His bushy chinstrap beard and handlebar mustache make him look like a CoolOldGuy when he's first introduced, but seem decidedly more sinister when he's revealed to have been EvilAllAlong.

* EvilSoundsDeep: He's got a fairly deep voice that comes off as a BaritoneOfStrength before his villainous behavior is revealed.
Added DiffLines:
* ManlyMan: Part of why his [[FakeUltimateHero ruse of heroism]] was so successful is because of his traditionally masculine qualities; a gruff-yet-affable miner-turned-bartender with a BaritoneOfStrength, ManlyFacialHair, and the speech patterns and clothing style of a typical rugged mountain man. This makes it all the more jarring when his corruption, [[StupidEvil dangerous incompetence]], and [[DirtyCoward reprehensible cowardice]] are brought to light.

It's shown in a memory that Mac hung out with Riley after she was harassed by his JerkJock friends and [[HiddenHeartOfGold shows genuine affection to her]]. Of course, [[EveryoneHasStandards she does have her limits]] and Mac attacking Gabe ''unprovoked'' understandably proves to be the last straw.
