** An InvokedTrope when the team plant a hidden camera in the room of a target and accidently catch him having sex with an escort girl. Dox then rings the target up and pretends to using the girl for a badger game, so he can lure the target out of his room; ostensibly to pay the blackmail money but actually to be killed.

* BladeEnthusiast: Both Dox and Rain in later books, with Eisler providing [[GunPorn loving descriptions of the high-quality blades they use]]. When possible, Rain favors a Benchmade folder, while Dox is particularly fond of a Fred Perrin Le Griffe he picked up a few books in. Rain's interest in knives is largely pragmatic; as a frequent international traveler, knives are easy to obtain when he gets to a new location, easy to conceal, and just as deadly as a firearm in close quarters while being much more quiet and discreet. Also, he's had a couple close calls with knife-wielding opponents when he was unarmed.

* WeaponOfChoice: While Rain prefers hand-to-hand combat, his go-to sidearm is the H&K Mark 23. Dox prefers a Wilson Combat 1911 and variants of the M40 Sniper Rifle, befitting his status as a former Marine.

* NobleDemon: Rain is a ruthless assassin that has killed innocents in the past, but he ''does'' have a moral code and generally works to minimize collateral damage where he can. Especially in later books.

* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: Most major characters come from some form of special operations background. Rain was a CIA MAC-V SOG operative, Dox was a Recon Marine, Delilah was Mossad, Treven was an Army Ranger, and Larison was a Delta Force Commando. Even villains such as Jim Hilger as former special forces. The only character this doesn't apply to is Livia Lone, who is ostensibly just a cop (though is ''far'' more capable than one would expect.)
