Dirty Coward: The four Apache bandits are depicted as the type who want to play all the cards in their favor. Though they could overpower Deans and Billy upon first meeting them, none of them want to take the risk of dying in a direct confrontation and later ambush Deans and Spencer. After they manage to mortally wound Deans at the cost of two of them, the remaining two flee when they spot Gifford, Billy and Esther approaching.

Disappeared Dad: Billy doesn't know anything about his white father other than he was somehow important since he had two hats, one for special occasions and one for everyday use.

Debt Detester: Discussed. When Gifford tries to make sense of why Deans would come out of his way to rescue Billy, Copeland suggests Deans owed the young half-Kiowa a favor and didn't want to remain beholden. Gifford dismisses the idea since he doesn't believe a man like Deans would feel beholden to anyone, least of all a "breed".

Was It Really Worth It?: Gifford makes this question to the dying Deans who refuses to answer since he sees no point wasting his last moments arguing with Gifford.

comment
Too Dumb to Live: Spencer, believing that Native Americans don't fight in nighttime for religious reasons, decides to try to sneak past the Apache bandits when it gets dark. Deans points out that these Native Americans don't appear to be religious, but Spencer goes anyway and gets killed.

comment
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Gifford assumes Deans won't come rescue Billy because there's no honor among thieves and is utterly confused after he's proven wrong. When Copeland suggests Deans feels indebted to Billy or is simply fond of him, Gifford rejects the idea of any white outlaw liking or feeling indebted to a "breed".
