dreamflower2 did a good job explaining the difference of good and bad use of epithets over on fanficrants recently:

"I am not against epithets, but I always feel that they should be used in limited circumstances: if the POV character does not know the person's actual name; if the name has already been used in the same paragraph or several times on the same page; or if it is needed to remind the reader of the character's role.

In any case, only the first circumstance should use the physical descriptions of hair color, height, etc. and only for as long as the observer remains in ignorance of the name. So, if you had an OC meeting the team for the first time, he/she might mentally size them up by their hair color, skin, height and gender. But once introduced, he/she would think of them by their names.

In the latter two circumstances, it should refer to some role the character holds in addition to his/her name. For example, to stay in the fandom you mention: Hotch could be called "the leader" or Penelope could be called "the techie" or Reid could be "the genius". If it was appropriate to the situation, Rossi could be called "the author"--for example, if the case involved his knowledge of publishing, but not if he was in the middle of a chase scene.

In other words, epithets need to be relevant as well as descriptive."
