* CoolBoat: Doom Jazz owns a yacht. His luxurious, philandering lifestyle is given as the reason when it is pointed out that none of the other Syndicate members own one. [[spoiler:He sinks it before leaving the island if he's still alive, a longtime tradition for him.]]

* CrypticBackgroundReference: The setting is FULL of these, as they're peppered into lines of dialogue, character entries, and the various collectables and mementos you can find scattered around the island. One of the most mentioned of these is the Great Betrayal. Other bits of dialog and item descriptions paint a vast and terrifying picture of elder gods, arcane locations, and entropic demons, among other lore bits. Even the island sequences themselves are full of untold stories, such as Sequence 8 (which the Council has suppressed knowledge of) and Sequence 18 (where the timelines were so messed up a Syndicate member had to sacrifice themselves to right them).

* FallGuy: [[spoiler:Henry is this as part of TheConspiracy to off the Council. This can also happen to a number of suspects during the Trial, such as Lydia if you accuse her of killing the Marshals at the First Seal.]]

* GentlemanDetective: Being a part of the upper-crust Syndicate and having a posh British accent qualifies Lady Love Dies as this trope.

* HateSink: Yuri is a narcissistic, egotistical slimeball with few to no redeeming qualities. His rude manner, naked ambition, and implied DealWithTheDevil for good looks all make him look like a vile little worm and an obvious culprit. [[spoiler:Which, granted, he is; however he is not working alone.]]

** Averted by Dr. Doom Jazz who seems to be the closest thing the game has to an actually nice person. [[spoiler:While he is involved in the cover up of the births of [[DisasterDominoes Dainonigate and Henry]], he only did it to protect [[BloodBrothers his best friend Eyes Kiwami]] to whom he [[IOweYouMyLife owed his life]] and unlike ''everyone else'' he isn't involved in either conspiracy, he just happened to still be at the island when the murders took place. If you accuse other characters in conversation or at the trial they will brush off your accusations and scoff at you, but he is genuinely hurt and angry if you accuse him, doubt his motives or speak ill of his friends. He even holds no grudge against the council even though Leader Montserrat got Doom's father killed. Despite his appearance he isn't [[ObruscatingStupidity playing dumb when he says he has no clue what happened to the council]] he really ''is'' just an adorable himbo.]]
