Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Thief Lord is a 2000 children's fantasy novel by German author Cornelia Funke, who also authored The Inkworld Trilogy. The Thief Lord follows a ragtag bunch of runaways and orphans living in the unseen parts of Venice, led by the titular "Thief Lord". Unfortunately two of them, Bo and Prosper, are pursued by the Private Detective Victor hired by their oppressive aunt. Victor's presence is just the catalyst for other forces that test the band's loyalty to each other.The novel's big themes include growing up and family. In 2006 a film adaptation was made. | |

The Thief Lord / int_309b8806 | comment |
Barbarossa's fate could also be called Cursed with Awesome. In a couple of years, he'll have exactly what he wanted anyway. | |

Beneath the Mask | |
The Thief Lord / int_4fbc0887 | comment |
Beneath the Mask: Scipio is a completely different person when he is with the other kids and when he is around his father. This is obvious even to Victor, who had met him only briefly. Interestingly, these are both masks for his true personality, which is somewhere in between. | |

All for Nothing | |
The Thief Lord / int_aed65980 | comment |
All for Nothing: The Conte, or rather Renzo, manipulates the runaways into helping him repair the magic merry-go-round after years of research so he can regain his lost youth. He then finds out that he doesn't actually enjoy being a kid again, and Barbarossa ends up breaking the merry-go-round anyway. | |

Be Careful What You Wish For: Everyone who uses the merry-go-round has shades of this, but Barbarossa gets it the worst.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Anti-Villain | |
The Thief Lord / int_d001c42c | comment |
Anti-Villain: Victor isn't actually villainous; he's looking for the boys because he's been hired to and because he rightfully believes that five is a bit too young to be getting along without parents, but he is also extremely sympathetic to their plight. Later, he's even willing to lie to the Hartilebs to try and put them off Prosper and Bo's trail. The Conte and Esther also get more sympathetic closer to the end. | |

The Artful Dodger | |
The Thief Lord / int_e30c7ae1 | comment |
The Artful Dodger: Riccio is something of this. Unlike most of the other kids, he quite enjoys stealing for a living and is disgusted by the thought of living under an adult's care. However, it is mentioned that, when he lived with Mosca and Hornet, and before Scipio began helping them out, his life was anything but happy and carefree. | |
