* TheScourgeOfGod: The Executioner targets people who are guilty of one of the SevenDeadlySins. Most of their victims turn out to be rather despicable people guilty of crimes such as rape, MurderByInaction, and extortion. [[spoiler:When TheReveal comes around, it is somewhat hinted that his father, a priest obsessed with punishing the sinful, was a source of inspiration in all this.]]
* SuddenlySpeaking: For most of the series, the Executioner is completely silent while conducting their kills. When [[spoiler:interviewed by Allison]], however, they do speak while masked, albeit through a voice synthesizer.

* HateSink: Vaughn, aside from being unhelpful bordering on downright ignorant, is [[spoiler:a kidnapper and rapist who kept Ariel in his basement for 5 years and even fathered her child due to a sick obsession for another girl. When Ariel manages to run, he threatens to kill their child. He refuses to repent for his sin and tries to sacrifice Sarah to the Executioner to save his own skin.

* GreenEyedMonster: Sarah describes her grandmother as "the most jealous and envious person she's ever known" and has several reasons to say so. Brenda despises both Dylan and Sarah's father (as she tries to pin off the [[spoiler: porn and extortion ring]] uniquely on him) for taking her only family away from her.

* {{Hypocrite}}: The Executioner is guilty of almost every sin they kill other people for.
** Pride and wrath are the most evident. The Executioner's motive seems to be implicitly driven by anger, hence the need to "punish" others. And Tom Winston outright says that the Executioner's pride in his/her own conquest is their greatest sin of all, because of how much they're blinded by the idea that they're playing God.
** The Executioner's sin of sloth is magnitudes worse than the designated sloth victim, especially when you stop and think, and realize that the Executioner knew about [[spoiler: Ariel's kidnapping]] and did nothing until it fit into their plan. Compare that to [[spoiler: Trent and June, who had the decency to stop and check on her and made sure that she was able to walk home safely, and their reason for not bringing her to the ER was understandable, though just driving her home would have been better.]]
** Add in that [[spoiler: Cam frames Dylan to have Sarah for himself]] and you have envy and lust as well.
