Contains examples of:

 * Action Girl: The female paladins.
 * Big Bad: Vol.
 * Badass: Kandler and Burch.
 * Black Mage: Espre seems to have some sorcerous talent. The only spells she uses are violent and destructive (although those could easily just be from her mark).
 * Paladin: The paladins. Duh.
 * Person of Mass Destruction: We don't see its powers much, but anyone bearing the Mark of Death is assumed to be this.
 * Power Tattoo: The titular Mark of Death, like all dragonmarks.
