Line 39:
* [[Batman Gambit]]: After twenty books, Falco knows exactly how to make Anacrites dance to his tune.
* [[Big Bad]]: {{spoiler|Florius.}} Also (probably) Anacrites.
* [[Big Screwed
* [[Black Widow]]: Professional widow Severina Zotica in "Venus in Copper".
* [[Bread Eggs Breaded Eggs]]: "You look like a spy." "I thought I looked like a priest." "Falco, you look like a spy who's disguised as a priest!"

* [[Evil Counterpart]]: Anacrites to Falco.
* [[
* [[Friend On the Force]]: Falco's best friend, Petronius, is a member of the Vigiles (primarily these were fireman; policing was a secondary role, and yes the Author knows this).
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: {{spoiler|Anacrites}} was forcibly removed from his family as a young boy and made to grow up among slaves. He eventually comes to really envy Falco for his tight-knit family, as screwed up as they are.
