And discovering that he can hear people talking in the photo.

Gone Horribly Right | |
Children of the Red King / int_1994ba0b | comment |
Gone Horribly Right: Ezekiel Bloor attempts to bring the brutal tyrant Borlath back to life, and seemingly succeeds - except that there's no way of controlling him. It turns out that he actually brought back Queen Berenice, who was a loving mother and is compelled to protect the endowed children. Before the beginning of the series, Manfred Bloor hypnotises Lyell Bone to punish him for trying to stop the abduction of Emma Tolly. He also does it partially in an attempt to discern the whereabouts of Maybelle's will (which Lyell had hidden). However, while spellbound Lyell has Laser-Guided Amnesia and as such forgets where he put the pearl-inlaid box containing the will. | |

Playing with Fire | |
Children of the Red King / int_1cc9f5e5 | comment |
Playing with Fire: Manfred Bloor, upon losing his hypnotism power, begins instead to develop fire powers like his ancestor Borlath. This is especially terrifying for the younger kids when the only other firestarter in the series was a cruel, brutal tyrant whose greatest sport was stated to be torture. | |

Chekhov's Gun: The wand Charlie steals from Skarpo in the second book becomes extremely important later on. It not only helps free Henry from his prison, but saves Miss Ingledew from death, helps Charlie with any problem he has, and also is the key to fixing the damaged Mirror of Amoret. | |

Parental Abandonment: Emma's dad, Mostyn Tolly, traded her to the Bloors for a replica of the Toledo knight when she was a baby. He eventually tries to put this right, but is murdered before he can. Naren Bloor's biological parents died in a flood when Naren was only four years old. She was later adopted by Bartholomew and Meng, who took her back to the Red King's city. | |

Children of the Red King / int_2c9ef8f7 | comment |
Combo Platter Powers: Guanhamara, the Red King's third daughter, has at least four endowments: psychic power, illusions, spirit-summoning, and witchcraft. Possibly justified in that she is so closely related to the Red King, but then again her siblings only seem to have one endowment a piece. Borlath is revealed to be a hypnotist as well as a fire-user. | |

Children of the Red King / int_313e9485 | comment |
Hero with Bad Publicity: Christopher Crowquill was framed for robbery by the Bloors and sent to jail for seven years. After he gets out, he comments that the only person who still stood by him even though he was a criminal was Alice Angel. In Blue Boa Charlie becomes a pariah within the school for one day because of Skarpo's causing mayhem with his magic, as everyone knows that it was Charlie who released him out of his painting. A similar incident happens in the fifth book, with most students in the school becoming angry with Charlie because he managed to return his friends' pets and not anyone else's, and won't reveal where the rest of the animals are. | |

Children of the Red King / int_4852f325 | comment |
I Just Want to Be Normal: Charlie frequently wishes to be normal, particularly when he first discovers his endowment and goes to Bloor's. He gets over this after discovering the extent of his power and how useful it is in helping other people and discovering truths no one has ever known before. Olivia goes through this in Castle of Mirrors, when she goes into denial about being an endowed child of the Red King. In the end she accepts that she is endowed, though she feels more resigned to it than anything else. | |

Shapeshifter Longevity: Shapeshifters are shown to possess incredible longevity, with Yolanda Yewbeam (who was born in 1900) still alive and very much looking her age when in her true form) by the time she is first encountered by series protagonist Charlie Bone in the early 2000s; her father Yorath (who was born in 1850) is also still alive at that point. | |

Bad Powers, Bad People | |
Children of the Red King / int_542b8e66 | comment |
Bad Powers, Bad People: This almost seems to be the case when it comes to the endowed. Those with more destructive powers tend to be on the side of the Bloors, while those with more useless-sounding powers tend to be good. This is averted by Tancred and Lysander, who are easily the strongest of all the kids at the Academy, and who are both very firmly on Charlie's team. | |

Children of the Red King / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: The Yewbeams look down upon Charlie's mother and maternal grandmother because they're unendowed and without any impressive lineage. Though unknown to them, they're actually descended from the Welsh wizard Mathonwy, who was a close friend of the Red King. | |

Hero of Another Story | |
Children of the Red King / int_581f6468 | comment |
Hero of Another Story: Benjamin's private investigator parents occasionally reference being involved in interesting cases unrelated to the magical war between good and evil that dominates the plot (although this also causes them to neglect their son at times). In Midnight for Charlie Bone, Mrs. Brown mentions how an investigation into the disappearance of a window washer who later turned up in a cave in Scotland. In the third and fourth books, they take their son to Hong Kong while spending several months on the trial of a stolen necklace. | |

Heel–Face Turn | |
Children of the Red King / int_617f0563 | comment |
Heel–Face Turn: Asa Pike, due to his nature as a Changer. It's implied that he actually might have rejoined the Bloors, had they not seen fit to lock him up for a few months in a cave, later on without sunlight (which is what he requires in order to be human). In other words, they deprived him of his humanity for several weeks and nearly starved him to death in the process. Their actions also led up to Asa's father being shot and killed by local hunters. It's no wonder he turned his back on them completely after that. | |

Secret Legacy: In the third book, it's revealed that Charlie is really a descendant of the wizard Mathonwy, and as a result is the rightful owner of the wand Claerwen (which he originally stole from Skarpo the Sorcerer). It turns out that Lyell Bone is the true heir to Maybelle's will, and thus heir to the Bloor's immense fortune. | |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain | |
Children of the Red King / int_acf33d00 | comment |
Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: It is Charlie's entering Bloor's that begins to weaken Lyell's trance. The only reason Charlie began attending the Academy in the first place is because his grandmother, aunts and the Bloors wanted him there so that they could keep an eye on and control him and his endowment. Ezekiel's attempt to resurrect Borlath in Hamaran's body only results in Berenice being brought back to life in the body of her favorite mare. Berenice proves to be completely on the side of the good endowed, and in the last three books carries the Red Knight while he rides around the city protecting the endowed children. | |

Why Don't You Just Shoot Him? | |
Children of the Red King / int_bce16d24 | comment |
Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: It would've been much easier for the Bloors if they'd just killed Lyell in that car accident in 1994. The only reason they didn't was because Grizelda insisted on sparing him, and they also wanted to find out from him the location of the pearl-inlaid box that contains Maybelle's will. However, this is subverted in the fifth book, when Harken (with the Bloors' and Yewbeams' full knowledge) makes Amy forget Lyell to stop him waking up from his trance, as it's heavily implied, if not stated outright, that Lyell will die if Amy forgets him completely. Then in the last three books the Bloors resort to trying to drown him before he remembers where he put the pearl-inlaid box. | |

Children of the Red King / int_eff83d77 | comment |
Mundane Utility: Charlie uses his wand to help him remember things he's studied for school. Olivia sometimes uses her illusion power to stir up mischief when she gets bored. The endowed are generally discouraged from using their powers for "frivolous" things, however. | |

Dark and Troubled Past | |
Children of the Red King / int_fed93e1b | comment |
Dark and Troubled Past: Emma Tolly was given away by her own father when she was just two years old, and ended up being hypnotised for life by Manfred Bloor after the transaction went wrong. She was then given a new name and sent to live with a childless couple who neglected her emotionally. Emma herself tells Charlie that all her life she lived with people who didn't love her and that she'd never known true happiness before. Lyell Bone was hypnotised for life by Manfred Bloor after trying to stop Mostyn Tolly from giving away his daughter Emma. He was then made to crash his car into a quarry to fake his death and was taken back to Bloor's Academy, where he spent the next ten years helpless and lost without his memories or identity. | |
