* NiceGuy: In the personal vlogs, Eric comes off as a kind if irresponsible young man who cared deeply for his lover Sue, even when things took a turn for the worst.
* SleepingWithTheBosssWife: The Codemaster uploaded a series a vlogs from Eric's computer detailing how he met and eventually started a relationship with the wife of the director of a movie Eric was auditioning for. Who initiated it and what happened after the affair is unclear, but it ended in someone's death and it's why The Codemaster is targeting Eric.
* TooDesperateToBePicky: Eric gets so hungry and thirsty while he's trapped that he scarfs down the cat food and drinks bleached pond-water, despite the humiliation and risk. It's especially dangerous because the "menu" was chosen by the viewers; if he was given the wrong thing, it'd kill him anyway.

* BigBad: He is Eric's kidnapper and the host of the DeadlyGame.
* CreepyChild: As a kid, the poor treatment Sam received from his parents eventually drove him mad and caused him to kill them. When a child psychologist is sent to the scene after the murders, they find him in his room singing a children's song, and after he attacks and presumably kills the psychologist, the screen goes black and manic child laughter plays.
* FreudianExcuse: The last upload reveals Sam's motivation for his kidnapping, murdering and torture is that [[spoiler:his parents were horribly abusive to the point of driving him insane]].
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: We never learn what his real name is- Sam Deercot, being a SignificantAnagram of Codemaster, is likely an alias, as is his other identity, Tom D. Caesar.
* ThemedAliases: The Codemaster's aliases- Sam Deercot and (briefly) Tom D. Caesar- were both anagrams of The Codemaster; of course, "The Codemaster" is an alias in and of itself.
* SelfMadeOrphan: The last video reveals that Sam killed his parents after snapping thanks to their abusive nature.
* SerialKiller: Sam has been murdering and torturing people since the 70s -- Eric is merely the first victim he posted online.
