* ExactWords: He uses these a lot to manipulate Eike and obfuscate his true goals. For instance, when Homunculus first offers Eike his help, Eike assumes he's being offered a DealWithTheDevil and the price will be his soul. Homunculus laughs and scoffs at such an idea "in this day and age". That's because he's already made such a deal with Eike/Dr. Wagner, four hundred years in the past. He also makes Eike think Margarete is his ancestor, without ever saying it. When Eike directly asks him, Homunculus just smiles but doesn't answer.

* FateWorseThanDeath: She's a ghost that's unable to interact with the living and has been trapped this way for four hundred years.

* BlessedWithSuck:
** Eike is immortal and has eternal youth thanks to Dr. Wagner's deal with Homunculus. Unfortunately, Homunculus also cursed him with reoccurring amnesia, which means that Eike can't even remember, let alone enjoy, his long life.
** Also, while Eike is immortal, he is not ''invincible'', so anything that would kill a normal person will kill him too. While Homunculus will resurrect him, Eike still has the memories (at least temporarily) of his painful deaths.

* FailedASpotCheck: Wolfgang never notices that the strange young man who brings him the Philosopher's Stone is (presumably) the spitting image of himself in his youth. The game actually explains this by pointing out that Wolfgang is so wrapped up in his work that he doesn't notice or care about anything else. That and if he had noticed Eike's appearance, it would have ruined one of the game's biggest twists.

* EasilyForgiven: Not himself, but Eike is very quick to forgive people who wrong him. This includes forgiving Hugo and Eckart for their repeated attempts to murder him.
Added DiffLines:
* Really700YearsOld: Eike's physical appearance is that of a young man who is likely in his twenties. In reality, he's over five hundred years old. Immortality has its perks.

* GenreSavvy: When he first is introduced to Homnculus, he immediately pegs this as a DealWithTheDevil situation but goes along with it since he doesn't want to die yet.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: He wished for immortal youth, making a remark about Eike, and to redo his life from the beginning. Homunculus granted those wishes as his younger self is Eike and then erases his memories so he has to start from the beginning.

* AmbiguousSituation: Eike's fate in the EX endings leave a bit of room for interpretation. While it's clear that his current form ceases to exist due to having erased the event that caused Dr. Wolfgang Wagner to become him, the epilogue features a young man living in the present who looks exactly like Eike, only with different clothes. Is he a descendant of Wolfgang, or actually the reincarnation of Eike/Wolfgang himself, now properly born into the 21st century while somehow retaining all the memories from his past adventures across different time loops? The ending's closing narration, told from Eike's point of view, implies the latter.
