| Knight and Rogue Series | comment |
A series of fantasy novels for young adults by author Hilari Bell. The books focus on the Odd Couple of Sir Michael, a Knight Errant, and his squire, Fisk (a former conman). The two start out very much on the opposite ends of the Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism (guess who is at which end). They travel together through a made-up country that sounds remarkably like Western Europe at the tail-end of the medieval ages, where feudalism is losing hold and industry and the middle class are starting to take over. All this however just minus the Catholic Church (or really any religion of any kind) but with lots of magic around that can kill you!The two leads mostly play Nancy Drew to several mysteries they happen to stumble upon in their travels. Michael is all for figuring them out and helping people, while Fisk just wants them to get through things alive and preferably not imprisoned.Books released: The Last Knight Rogue's Home Player's Ruse Thief's War Scholar's Plot Lady's PursuitThe series has been completed with the release of "Lady's Pursuit". | |

The Runaway | |

The Runaway: After he got fed up with arguing with his father over what to do with his life, Michael just slipped away one night with a small sum of money, took one of the horses that was least likely to be missed, and went off to play knight errant. | |

"Well Done, Son" Guy | |
| Knight and Rogue Series / int_1779f10e | comment |
"Well Done, Son" Guy: Michael used to be one of these but he finally decided there was nothing he could do to gain his father's respect so he just decided to do what he wanted. His father is still a bit of a sore spot for him though especially since he was one of the main reasons Michael ends up marked unredeemed. Averted hard with Fisk. In the last book Kathy has to tell him he doesn't have to work so hard to not be his dad and he realizes he purposely does the opposite of what his father would have done. | |

The Nondescript: Aside from Michael's scar, the two are perfectly average looking. One man who's tracking them gives up on asking if anyone's seen them and starts asking about their horses instead. Both Fisk and Jack Bannister are noted to be this way intentionally due to their careers as successful con artists. | |

And as Fisk points out, every time his magic shows up it saves his life, so he doesn't have much to complain about. | |

OnceAnEpisode | |
| Knight and Rogue Series / int_37499c8 | comment |
Fisk is normally looking out primarily for himself, and it's almost a Once an Episode moment that the first thing Fisk would do when facing armed thugs is wait for an opportunity to flee. In Scholar's Plot, Michael recalls this very fact, only when a thug makes a swing at Kathy, Fisk doesn't run—he tackles the thug instead. Initially comes off as a bit of Character Development for Fisk, who at the start of the book is beside himself at doing something selfless of his own volition. Except later, via a separate event, Fisk realizes that he's fallen for Kathy and that suddenly he has a whole group of people to watch out for, not just his own neck. | |

Noodle Incident: The duo apparently broke into a mayor's house at some point between the second and third book, though Michael thinks it doesn't count since they were just returning something someone else stole. When listing a number of enemies that might have sent an assassin after them in book six there are a couple of them that happened in between books. | |

Children Are Special | |
| Knight and Rogue Series / int_41dee1c9 | comment |
Children Are Special: In a twisted version of the trope, only children are known to use full fledged magic because only the mentally impaired can be born with any magic in the first place, and they rarely, if ever, live to adulthood. Since he obtained his magic artificially, Michael is an exception to this rule. The orphan children in Tallowsport are the only ones Michael can think of that can't be bribed or threatened into freeing Roseman. | |

Honor Before Reason: Michael starts off deeply concerned about never doing wrong, even if it's for a good cause. To this end, he will be honest even when he knows it will get him in trouble, even if he's lying to villains. | |

Planet of Steves: Starting with Rogue's Home there are a dozen Potters. A newly introduced Potter usually includes the line "No relation to so-and-so Potter." Almost every noble the age of Michael's oldest brother, Rupert, is named Rupert in memory of the previous High Liege who passed around the time of those Ruperts' births. The current High Liege then went on to name his son and heir Rupert as well. | |

Naked People Trapped Outside: In Player's Ruse Michael sneaks out of camp in the middle of the night in only a shirt trying to figure out where someone is going, and ends up chased around and having to slowly make his way home. He doesn't get back until everyone is up but Fisk spares him the embarrassment of returning to camp half nude. | |

Break the Cutie | |
| Knight and Rogue Series / int_4b316d47 | comment |
Break the Cutie: Michael, in the beginning of Rogue's Home. He gets better. While the above is the most blatant example the whole series does this to Michael. If someone's going to get kidnapped or beaten up it's usually him. Then there's the matter of getting unredeemed for doing the right thing, getting rejected by his childhood crush, being forced to let the orphans kill Roseman, getting an assassin/serial killer sent after him. He goes through a lot. | |

Opposed Mentors: In book six Fisk realizes he's got a case of this. On the one shoulder he's got his father, a loving, kind, and intelligent dreamer who was foolish to the point of ruin, and on the other Jack a cold, heartless con man who is incredibly successful in his profession. Most of his life he chooses to listen to the latter but when Kathy confronts him over it he decides to take a few lessons from his father instead. | |

Disproportionate Retribution | |

Disproportionate Retribution: The captain of the Albatross has Michael flogged for accidentally spilling paint. The two gods. Particularly the orange Creature god. It does not care if you're the one that killed the dead magica animal or not. It'll kill you anyway. The legal system is actually a little broken. If you get into a bar fight and somebody redeems you, but you refuse to do what they say in order to repay your debt, you can be tattooed as a permanently unredeemed criminal and be forever outside the law. And on top of that Wheatman the assassin/serial killer in Lady's Pursuit hunts down unredeemed criminals and kills them. Regardless of their crime. You could steal a cup, not pay whoever bailed you out and have an assassin on your tail for it. | |

Idiot Ball: As soon as Michael and Fisk arrive in Tallowsport, Fisk starts sending as many messages out as he can to let Jack know they're there. This despite him knowing that Jack wants to use him, doubts that they're a threat, and has assured them that his employer completely runs the town, which they are quick to learn he was right about. Predictably, this ends with the Arc Villain knowing exactly who he is dealing with and easily tracking down and capturing the two. | |

Asshole Victim | |
| Knight and Rogue Series / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim: Hotchkiss in Scholar's Plot. So many people didn't like him that there's no good starting place in looking for someone with a motive. Maxwell counts too, but only in regards to Fisk and Michael. They litterally save him and his family from a life of poverty only FIVE YEARS after he kicked Fisk out with the promise he'd provide for Fisk's sisters and how does he repay them? By kicking them out again. Even his offer to send Fisk to University was a thinly veiled attempt to get him out of town without looking like a dick... he failed in that regard. Judicar Thrope when his house burns down. He's a slimy jerk who tried to beat up a child for laughing at him and everyone hates him. But the only reason the villain burned his house down is to make Michael look suspicious. Also it's noted that he's from a gifted line but it died out in his mom. Which which is how Fisk's family ended up poor. | |

Gambit Roulette | |

Gambit Roulette: When Michael and Fisk are separated in Thief's War, they mostly have to trust that the other will know what to do from the vague messages they manage to send one another. Their ability to convey their plans and get important tools to the proper plays also relies in part on a group of children whose thought processes are clouded with lust for revenge, and Fisk has the added burden of needing to single out men under Roseman who follow out of fear instead of loyalty, and trusting them to do what he needs as well. | |

Because I'm Good At It: Fisk initially took to burglary to support his sisters. And when he leaves then he keeps it up for this reason eventually adding a multitude of other criminal skills (primarily con artistry) even though he has the intelligence and skill set for a more stable legal job. To the point that one of his first solutions to any problem is burglary, though he blames Micheal for this. | |

While he does use kids to steal for him he does it because they get lesser sentences and Fisk notes he's oddly civic minded for a burglar. He's pretty willing to help Judicar Maxwell get his job back and he and Fisk are still on good terms, though they haven't seen each other in years. Rudy from Player's Ruse had a master that cut off his apprentices toes if he was displeased with them. | |

My God, What Have I Done?: When he can't trust anyone else not to be cowed into letting him go, Michael leaves Roseman at the mercy of a gang of teens and children that he orphaned. They violently murder him while Michael is gone, and Michael feels at fault for them bloodying their hands. Humorous example: book two ends with Fisk realizing all his work to cheer up Michael and remind him he's a hero means Michael is back to his cheerful, adventurous, and absolutely insane self. ->Fisk (narration): "Good deeds carry a stiffer sentence than crimes. You'd think I'd learn, wouldn't you." | |

The Ace | |
| Knight and Rogue Series / int_b5b4b077 | comment |
The Ace: Downplayed a bit but Fisk is an incredible criminal. He's only seventeen at the start of the series but he's already mastered con artistry, burglary, pickpocketing, cheating at cards, forgery, and (according to Jack) rigging horse races. He's only ever been caught once. And even when his partner deserted him to take the fall for the crime he managed to escape. There were bounty hunters after him. He was probably sixteen at the time. Even more so because his first teacher is described purely as a burglar. So by the time he left home at thirteen Fisk probably only knew burglary and maybe a bit of pickpocketing. So in the four years he was with Jack he mastered at least four different criminal skills well enough to not get caught. It's a wonder they had any time to actually con anyone with how much Jack was teaching him in a short amount of time. This probably qualifies Jack for this trope too. | |

No-Nonsense Nemesis | |
| Knight and Rogue Series / int_b99bed67 | comment |
No-Nonsense Nemesis: When Worthington is lured out by Nettie's Ma he decides it would be a better use of his time to go catch the people he realizes have broken into his home than chase an old woman, much less listen to her gloating. Roseman takes this trope even further. He avoids all the common failing points of a villain and covers his trail so perfectly that even when the entire countryside knows he's crooked, it's hard to get any solid evidence against him. | |

Surpassed the Teacher: when Fisk breaks Jack out of jail he tells Jack that he scammed Roseman bringing the royal army down on him. Jack was employed by Roseman specifically because he failed to scam the man himself. When they part Jack is actually scared of Fisk. In the last book Fisk notes that he doesn't think of Jack as much anymore, probably because he beat Jack at his own game. | |

Magic Is Mental | |
| Knight and Rogue Series / int_da176edb | comment |
Magic Is Mental: Inverted. According to academic theory, magic and intelligence are incapable of coexisting, explaining why it is only found naturally in animals and humans born with mental disabilities, as well as why Michael's magic triggers when he's in a state of panic, but not when he tries to will it to work. Elaborated upon in Scholar's Plot: the invocation has to be more natural as opposed to logical, proven when Michael ends up turning invisible as opposed to enabling himself to breathe underwater the first time he tests this theory. His magic responded to his need to hide, but not his logically thinking he needs to breathe underwater in order to hide. | |

What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway? | |
| Knight and Rogue Series / int_dd3272bb | comment |
What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: Considering he could already feel magic, being able to see it is only a slight step up. Even when Michael starts to seriously work magic, the number of situations where it could come in handy are slim. It isn't until the third book that his magic really starts to look impressive. By book four he's begins to test the waters by using it to enhance his animal handling Gift in order to affect a human, but it's in book five—when he actually gets a plausible theory on how to control his magic—that it actually becomes useful in two separate occasions in the book: 1) by hiding him from an angry con who got busted by Fisk; 2) by creating a bubble of air to protect himself and Fisk from the fire destroying the old tower. The second time is when Michael actually makes the magic do what he wants, as it only really responds to the will of his heart (or primal instinct). | |

Tattooed Crook: Played straight with Michael from the second book onward. People in the books are tattooed with chains on their wrists if they are permanently unable to repay their debts (usually because they killed someone but for some reason was spared from hanging). Michael didn't kill anyone, he just refused to fulfill a contract he was forced to make with his father that would have resulted in him losing his freedom for the rest of his life. | |

| Knight and Rogue Series / int_e83f211c | comment |
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: When Michael takes a little too much glee in how they handle Ceciel after capturing her, Fisk is extremely concerned. A lot of Fisk's attention is placed on how out of character Michael is acting in book two. Going out of his way to introduce Michael as a Knight Errant repeatedly though he's called Michael crazy for doing the same thing and worrying that Michael is getting depressed over being unredeemed. Fisk is normally looking out primarily for himself, and it's almost a Once an Episode moment that the first thing Fisk would do when facing armed thugs is wait for an opportunity to flee. In Scholar's Plot, Michael recalls this very fact, only when a thug makes a swing at Kathy, Fisk doesn't run—he tackles the thug instead. Initially comes off as a bit of Character Development for Fisk, who at the start of the book is beside himself at doing something selfless of his own volition. Except later, via a separate event, Fisk realizes that he's fallen for Kathy and that suddenly he has a whole group of people to watch out for, not just his own neck. | |

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Trying to save a 'kidnapped' woman gets Michael arrested, taking the fall for another man gets him flogged, letting Fisk escape Ceceil's guards gets him experimented on, refusing to arrest an innocent woman gets him marked unredeemed, stopping a man from beating a young boy gets him arrested-again, helping to put out a fire gets him chased by a mob, helping arrest a murderer gets him kicked out of town, and trying to save a man who's falling gets him accused of murder. As Fisk says, heroism is vastly overrated. Even taking down Roseman and preventing a civil war ends with him accidentally driving children to murder and losing his best friend! | |

Beleaguered Assistant | |
| Knight and Rogue Series / int_f792ffe4 | comment |
Beleaguered Assistant: Fisk, in The Last Knight. He becomes more of an exasperated friend once Michael grows on him. In The Scholar's Plot they both somehow managed to be this to each other since their in the middle of a contest over who gets to be the boss. | |

Distressed Dude | |
| Knight and Rogue Series / int_f9e16ef | comment |
Distressed Dude: Despite being the knight, Michael is the most likely character to need being rescued. Both Michael and Fisk simultaneously play this role in Thief's War, with Roseman holding them hostage against one another, and them needing to subtly make it possible for one another to get the help they need to be free of him. | |

Running Gag | |
| Knight and Rogue Series / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: What's the difference between X and a bandit? If Fisk, townsman that he is, uses a metaphor relating something to a countryside activity, it will likely include a misconception that Michael will silently let slide. Fisk's claim to hate burglary. He blames Micheal for the sudden need to use the skill constantly but Michael continuously insists it's always Fisk's idea. After replacing Makejoy's offensive script he's very obviously having fun insisting he's a great burglar when they get out. In book four he starts the adventure by insisting he's not going to burgle Roseman's town house (which he does eventually do even while living in it) before they even have a reason to. At one point Kathy is even disappointed that she's not able to go with them when they go burgle something else. | |

My Sister Is Off-Limits | |
| Knight and Rogue Series / int_fb56b948 | comment |
My Sister Is Off-Limits: Fisk is very aware of this situation when he realizes he loves Kathy. Michael, for all Fisk's concerns, is more annoyed that no one told him before he catches to two kissing. | |

Dark and Troubled Past: Fisk losing both his parents at a young age and having to turn to crime in order to help support his sisters. For bonus points, his master betrays him and his brother in law more or less banishes him for being involved in crime. | |

Anti-Mentor | |
| Knight and Rogue Series / int_ff64d968 | comment |
Anti-Mentor: Played with, part of Michael's goal in rescuing Fisk is to guide him out of his criminal ways and teach him how to do good. So naturally the first thing they do together is accidentally break a murder out of jail. In the end he discoveres that they both have something to learn from each other. | |

Perpetual Poverty | |
| Knight and Rogue Series / int_ffb1df90 | comment |
Perpetual Poverty: Michael's legal status, insistence on not setting down roots, and determination to go about things honestly combine to make it so that he and Fisk almost never manage to earn a significant amount of money. Every time they're offered a large reward, Michael also either immediately gives his portion (or the whole sum) away or else insists they do what's right rather than what they're being paid to do. Fisk basically since the day he was born. His father drove them to ruin in his attempt to earn a scholarship at a university and eventually he and his wife died leaving their kids completely destitute. Then he's kicked out of town and pennyless due to his own inability to accept help. He's noted to have had success as a con artist with even Michael being impressed by how much of his fine he was able to pay off by himself but the judicar sentencing him purposely rose the fine so it exceeded his savings leaving him once again with nothing and a debt to pay off. Even in the very end he's still struggling. Buying a business for him and Kathy took everything he had. | |
