Line 199:
* [[The Smart Guy]]: Aide
* [[Stay in the Kitchen]]: Averted as often as not. Female characters are as apt toward badassery as male ones, at least the major characters. Lady Sanga stays in the kitchen when she can. But then she [[Feminine Women Can Cook|actually likes the kitchen]].
* [[The Stoic]]: Kungas, to the point where he sometimes qualifies for [[Frozen Face]] despite having nothing physically wrong with him. He eventually lightened up a little after {{spoiler|marrying Irene}}. When Irene first met him, he happened to be standing motionless, and she literally mistook him for a statue.
* [[Story-Boarding the Apocalypse]]: Aide allows various characters to live through detailed visions of the future if Link and the Malwa win, as well as visions of the untampered timeline. Used to [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong]] in the case of Justinian's doubts about Belisarius's loyalties.
* [[Stupid Evil]]: Actually, the Malwa come across as way too stupid for an Empire commanded by a superbeing from millions of years in the future, even granted the fact that Link doesn't care about the lives of its minions. It helps that it discourages initiative and independent thought. In the sixth book, it's even noted that most of the competent or intelligent officers were sent to the front and killed.
