* LossOfIdentity: A major theme of the ongoing series. Chance's onetime apprentice Tom [=McFadden=] wasn't cut out for this gig because he gradually lost all sense of who ''he'' is, leaving a piece of himself behind when he shed a persona after a job. There's a scene where he struggles in vain to name a detail about his history or personality that he can't see from looking in the mirror.
