* FauxAffablyEvil: In his flashback at the beginning, he greets the principle with a polite demeanor after he had some staff investigate Birth Valley. But this does little to hide what an omnicidal monster he is underneath.

This lends some credence to the theory that [[spoiler:he was Dark Force all along, as the only other party characters who never learn ''any techniques at all'' are the androids Wren and Demi]].

* WhatTheHellHero: Rune gives Chaz a very gentle one after he[[RefusalOfTheCall flips out]] when he's told of [[spoiler:The Great Light and the delegation of its fight against the Profound Darkness to the sentient people of Algo]]. He rejects the whole thing on the basis that mindlessly obeying orders to kill complete strangers would make the heroes [[{{Hypocrite}} no better than Zio]], stemming largely from his guilt over [[spoiler:the death of Alys]] and blaming it on this very cause. Rune does help him see past this soon enough, but it says a lot that no one actually antagonizes Chaz over his opinion.
