Evil Albino is no longer a trope.

* EvilAlbino: {{Subverted}} on two fronts with Samuel, the initial suspect. His pale skin makes him seem like an albino, one who's feared by other members of his homeless colony and thought to be the one who castrated Gorman. As it turns out, he's not actually an albino and really suffers from [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porphyria Porphyria]], which caused both his mental instability and aversion to sunlight. Huang quickly realizes he's too paranoid to have left his lair to commit the crime, and is ultimately just a mentally ill man in need of proper treatment for his condition.

Added DiffLines:
* ArtisticLicenseReligion: Samuel calls himself Samael, which Huang identifies as Lucifer's name before he fell from heaven. Which isn't true for any version of Samael in any Abrahamic religion. At most, he's another name for {{Satan}} or is the being who took the role of Satan in Judaism.
