- Ax-Crazy: The Lion's main weapon is a fire axe, and his Establishing Character Moment during the Norfolk Uprising involves beheading a National Guardsman. Picking "Army" options in his Focus Tree has these violent tendencies devolve From Bad to Worse, while picking "People" options downplays them.
- Bomb-Throwing Anarchists: His rise against the United States government involves the beheading of a member of the National Guard, and forming the Army Committee by threatening them with death if they refused. Picking "People" options on his focus tree downplays (but doesn't entirely remove) the Bomb-Throwing while emphasizing the Anarchist, while "Army" options has him devolve so far into homicidal rage that he foregoes the Anarchist aspect altogether.
- The Faceless: The Lion hides their face behind a vintage soviet PBF gasmask.
- Goal in Life: The experiments inflicted on him as a SAINT test subject caused him to develop “Dementia Sanctus”, a mental condition which afflicts its victims with a "higher purpose". The Lion found his higher purpose in Anarchism.
- NO INDOOR VOICE: What his In-Game Biography and several of his lines given during events show him to have.
- One-Man Army: Can personally tear apart (quite literally) multiple enemies while shrugging off bullets, and he eventually pulls double-duty as a Field Marshal for the Lion Rebellion's army.
- Real Name as an Alias: The Lion's true name is Robert Lyons. Shout-Out: The Lion, the Sole Survivor of a secret and shady government effort to make Super Soldiers, who gained enhanced abilities at the cost of his mental state, erasing his old identity completely, and ultimately managed to stabilize himself through devoting himself to the higher purpose of anarchism, a masked vigilante whose face is never shown, is all taken very strongly from the character of V from V for Vendetta..
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: The Lion Rebellion's Focus Tree represents this mechanically, with the "People" options leaning more towards Well-Intentioned, and the "Army" options leaning towards Extremist. OMW TO EVISCERATE THE STALINISTS AND MAOISTS FROM COMMUNISM WITH THIS ONE.(joke line)
Bro solos the Stalinist infested USSR and can solo Maoist China les GOOOOOOOOOOOO
