 The narration continually makes a point of how rats are nothing but a bunch of filthy, morally dubious dirty cowards. The only exception seems to be Reconquista and he turns out to be a traitor whose friendship and loyalty to the protagonists is entirely feigned.

 Always Chaotic Evil: Emphasized with some species by the narration in what is probably a parody of the novel's presumed inspiration: The narration continually makes a point of how rats are nothing but a bunch of filthy, morally dubious dirty cowards. The only exception seems to be Reconquista and he turns out to be a traitor whose friendship and loyalty to the protagonists is entirely feigned. When the narration introduces Bonsoir, it is noted that as a stoat, he is sneaky and cruel, but comments that this is not the fault of Bonsoir or stoats generally, as nature fashioned them to be so.

 Anti-Villain: Barley is a hardened, brutish soldier who slaughtered hundreds during the war. But unlike everyone else in the Captain's crew, he's the only member who wanted nothing to do with his quest for vengeance; before the Captain forced him into joining his gang, he was just an ordinary, and very friendly shopkeeper.
