* KickTheSonOfABitch:
** Most of the souls Cabal collects are people that would have gone to Hell anyway. Arguably happens to him a few times, too.
** When Cabal is back in Hell the second time, he's in a very bad mood so he throws Trubshaw to the naked masses to beat (breaking Trubshaw's shoulder in the process). He also finds the imp that possessed him (which is now a pile of slime after pissing off Slabuth, very slowly healing) just as it grows an eye-which Cabal promptly stomps on.

* DepartmentOfMajorVexation: The ''de facto'' first [[CirclesOfHell circle of hell]] is the entrance queue, where a damned bank clerk forces the "pre-damned" to fill out thousands of excruciatingly detailed forms and sends them to the back of the line for any error. The clerk isn't even malicious, just so cosmically anal-retentive that he created the system of his own initiative.

* VillainousBreakdown: While not a true villain, but during his rising villainy at the novel's final parts Cabal has a brief breakdown when discussing death with Barrow, who is a widower. Even though he misses his wife every day, Barrow says you have to accept death. Cabal rages at this.
