* ConsummateProfessional: The neutral Bounty Hunter.

* {{Expy}}: They are deliberately modelled on Boba Fett and his father Jango, with the Powertech's use of flamethrowers and jetpacks being more reminiscent of Boba and the Mercenary's use of GunsAkimbo and gadgets being more like Jango. Their backstory of being a non-Mandalorian adopted into the culture is remiscent of Jango as well, while according to the creators, the decision to make Bounty Hunter an Imperial class was directly inspired by Boba's employment with Darth Vadar and the Empire during the Original Trilogy.

** His actions also lead to the death or resignation of the Chancellor of the Republic. All of this without serving any practical purpose. The Bounty Hunter is still alive. The Republic and the Sith Empire were going to war no matter what he did. And exposing the "evil of the Sith Empire" was a pointless waste of time.

* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler:By the Empire at large if they choose the Light Side ending of their storyline. Even after betraying and "murdering" Darth Tormen and ruining the Empire's intricate plan to assassinate Supreme Chancellor Janerus, the Empire will still employ you as a mercenary since you're simply ''that'' good at your job. This is lampshaded by Darth Marr in "Rise of the Hutt Cartel", as he admits that a lot of people in the Empire ''really'' want you dead for Tormen's death, but he knows you're more valuable to the Empire alive.]]

** Part of their anger over [[spoiler:the Republic framing them as war criminal]], is in how underhanded it is. While they're a hired gun, willing to kill and do a lot of bad stuff for money, [[AtLeastIAdmitIt they've never lied or tried to hide that fact]]. Nor was it ever personal.
