History Characters / ArknightsRhodesIsland

* MythicalMotifs: Angels, due to her Sankta race. Notably, she's the only known Sankta to wear a hat, [[BeyondTheImpossible which is normally impossible due to the halo getting in the way]].

!!!'''Affiliated Characters:''' Blaze, Pith, Rosmontis, Sharp, Stormeye, Touch

Known as '''Rhodes Island Elite Operators''', or '''Elite Op''' for short. It is the elite division of Rhodes Island's paramilitary forces, consisting of their strongest and highly-trained combatants.

* GuestStarPartyMember: Among the Elite Op's introduced and made playable, Pith, Sharp, Stormeye, and Touch are only playable in the rogue-like Intergrated Strategies mode.

* OneManArmies: Elite Operators represent the most powerful individuals in Rhodes Island. Most if not all of them can take on entire squads of enemies by themselves, in some rare cases, entire armies or even mobile cities. It really says something when Guard warns Nine that if there even just ''three'' Elite Ops present on the Rhodes Island landship, [[spoiler:their plan to break Talulah out of confinement will inevitably end in failure]].

!!Logos
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/logos_01_3.png]]
->'''Race:''' Sarkaz (Banshee)
An elite Sarkaz caster whose Arts are based on language and writing, letting him encrypt files with his spells as well as nullify the Arts of others.

* AntiMagic: His Arts are repeatedly used to dispel other magics.
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Despite being Really700YearsOld, he is the youngest member of the Sarkaz Royal Court.
* BlueBlood: A Sarkaz nobility representing the Banshee bloodline who once served Theresa's court.
* BreakThemByTalking: In Episode 12, [[spoiler:he manages to defeat the Damatzi Cluster by convincing them that they have NothingLeftToDoButDie and successfully encouraging them to take that final step.]]
* BrownNote: Attempting to read his encrypted words will result in the reader bleeding to death from their eyes.
* TheCavalry: In Episode 13, [[spoiler:he and Ascalon rescue Doctor and Amiya from Salus's clutches at the last minute.]]
* CleavageWindow: The formal outfit he's wearing in Victoria has a netting over a portion of his chest instead of opaque fabric.
* TheDreaded: Logos, and Banshees in general, are greatly feared due to their powerful and esoteric Arts. Even the near-invincible Vampires treat the Banshees with caution, as shown when Logos is capable of [[spoiler:neutralizing the Sanguinarch's own Arts]].
* TheGhost: Before Episode 11, he had no art or sprite to show beyond mentions in Operator files and Operator Records, his appearance in Rewinding Breeze, and two Integrated Strategy relics (The Banshee's Kiss from "Phantom and Crimson Solitaire" and Logos's Bone Pen from "Ceobe's Fungimist", respectively).
* GoodParents: While nothing is known about his father, he apparently has a very loving (if somewhat ovebearing) mother, and he certainly turned out to be one of the best-adjusted members of the Sarkaz Royal Court.
* HeroWorship: On the receiving end from Lava as her Operator records reveal that she reveres and respects Logos greatly.
* KingIncognito: While he doesn't make a secret of his identity, neither does he proclaim it far and wide. As not that many people actually know what the Banshee Lord looks like, most regular Sarkaz tend to treat him as "just" a Banshee.
* MagicalIncantation: How his Arts work - he can cause things to happen by speaking the words with power.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: [[spoiler:Has UndyingLoyalty to Theresa above all else, something that earns him and his tribe the contempt of many Theresis's loyalists, especially the Sanguinarch, who reaches a RageBreakingPoint when Logos affirms his commitment to following Theresa's vision and calls the Sanguinarch, and those like him in Theresis's court, hopeless fools pining for the GloryDays and denying the possibility of change that Theresa promised.]]
* MythicalMotifs: Is a Banshee; a rare male in an otherwise mostly female subrace.
* NotSoAboveItAll: A flavor text of the furniture in Rhodes Island Furniture set reveals that Logos took part in a Stool chair racing competition (Hosted by Scout) between the operators of Rhodes Island and won, hinting that he isn't immune to doing silly things with his fellow operators once in a while. The 2022 Chinese launch April Fool's event also has him as a Top 5 scorer for the Barrage Fortress game in Rhodes Island under the name [[SdrawkcabName sogoL]].
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Episode 12 reveals that [[spoiler:he's been hunting down all Damatzi fragments that have been attempting to infiltrate the Self-Salvation Corps offscreen.]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: Mudrock is shocked to see how young Logos is when they first meet. As a Banshee Sarkaz, he is far older than his appearance suggests.
* TheOneGuy: Male Banshees are apparently incredibly rare, enough so that everyone who meets him feels the need to comment on his gender.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Mudrock describes him as incredibly ancient despite looking rather young. Banshees, like vampires, apparently retain their youth for a long time.
* SwitchingPOV:
** He's the point-of-view character in "Recollection" (Mudrock's side story from Rewinding Breeze), although he doesn't show up until near the ending.
** He's also one of the POV characters for Episode 13.
* UnseenNoMore: His NPC art debuts in Episode 11.
* TheVoice: In "Recollection" (Mudrock's side story from Rewinding Breeze), he's seen speaking but doesn't have NPC art.
* VisionQuest: Spends most of Episode 12 [[spoiler:in Damatzi's visions as they debate philosophy and discuss the Damatzi's excessively long life.]]
* WarriorPrince: He's the Lord of the Banshees, making him one of the leaders of Kazdel, but he's still a frontline Rhodes Island operator.

!!Mechanist
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/avg_npc_521_11.png]]
->'''Race:''' Elafia\\
'''Artist:''' [=Cenm0=]
An Elite Operator who excels in designing and repairing things. He designed Blaze's weapon.
----

** [[spoiler:Seeing the suffering that Originium has inflicted onto Terra greatly shakes the Doctor's resolve in following the precursors' plans to have Originium assimilate the planet for the goal of rebuilding their world, causing their ConflictingLoyalty between Babel and their people. They are forced to either choose to continue the precursors' plans and condemn the world to an AssimilationPlot in order to save them from something worse or help Babel in protecting what they see as a doomed world. They ultimately choose the latter, despite their regret.]]

!!The Doctor[[spoiler: a.k.a Oracle]]

* DefectorFromDecadence: [[spoiler: The original Doctor(a.k.a Oracle) opposed to the Precursor's plan to transform Terra into Originium as a way to preserve their civilization, and instead wishing to pass down the Precursor technology to the potential Terran races so that they will have a better chance in fighting off the threat that ends their civilization. The strained their relationship with Priestess and that eventually led them to set Ama-10 free to explore Terra and guide them in resisting the doom.]]

* TheImmune: "Babel" explains [[spoiler:that the Doctor is totally immune to Oripathy, presumably due to their precursor origins and nature as one of it's creators, which also makes the Doctor's continued livelihood the best chance to curing Oripathy and stopping the spread of Originium in its tracks.]]

An elite Sarkaz caster who can encrypt files with his spells.

* MythicalMotifs: Is a Banshee according to "Walk in the Dust". What makes this unusual however is he's a rare male in an otherwise mostly female subrace.

* SwitchingPOV: He's the point-of-view character in "Recollection" (Mudrock's side story from Rewinding Breeze), although he doesn't show up until near the ending.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:The pre-amnesia Doctor's true persona, as revealed in "Babel", is arguably this, [[GreaterScopeVillain as they are responsible for the problem of Oripathy alongside Priestess]] due to their design of seeding Terra with Originium in the first place; all out of desire that ''needed'' a power like Originium to be harvested to save their own home in the process. [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone After seeing the consequences of Oripathy firsthand]], especially to a younger Amiya, the Doctor tried ''everything'' to cure it up to trying to infect themselves with Oripathy only to learn [[TheImmune their immunity]] prevents them from gaining any useful knowledge of its development until they ran out of options and gave into despair with what they knew was impossible at the time. All of which led to the Doctor slipping ''[[FaceHeelTurn back]]'' to the original plan and accelerating the spread of Originium further across Terra until it snuffed out all life as a form of ''[[MercyKill mercy killing]]'' of the entire world as the Doctor couldn't rationalize a way to solve it and at least help save their own homeworld in the process, but it still tore at them to wipe out an entire people just to facilitate his goals, and finally completely ''[[VillanousBSOD broke]]'' when they helped orchestrate Theresa's assassination with Theresis just to spare the rest of Babel, which included Amiya, from a cruel systemic extermination and the fastest way help move that plan forward.]]

* BeenThereShapedHistory: Barring their involvement in Babel and their influence shaping the direction of Kazdel's history up to today, [[spoiler:"Lonetrail" presents the question on the Doctor's past as presumably the progenitor of ''all'' culture on Terra after the collapse of the original {{Precursor}} civilization, being directly responsible for [[TechnologyUplift uplifting the Ancients to succeed them]] and occasionally appearing throughout the last ten-thousand years to help their development.]]

* BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler:"Babel" reveals that although their purpose was initially to spread Originium across Terra at the expense of all other life on the planet, and initially having a low opinion on Terran life-forms, the Doctor at first begrudgingly worked with Theresa while pursuing their goals, but eventually grew to love the people of Terra and grew conflicted as to whether to help save them or continue the original plan. Even when they eventually choose the latter, Theresa realizes in her last moments that the Doctor was crying and about to [[DrivenToSuicide kill themselves out of guilt]], convincing her that they had developed genuine empathy for the people of Terra. As a result, she used her powers to wipe their memories, out of the hope that they could become a better person if only not shackled by the responsibility of their past.]]

** The Doctor often struggles with the pain of not knowing anything about their past outside of vague second-hand recounts, and as of later stories will get noticably agitated when Kal'tsit seems to be trying to keep information from them. ''Lone Trail'' also shows that [[spoiler:they often get lonely from being so out of place compared to everyone else, and that finding the "graveyard" of their kin along with witnessing Friston's revelations and suicide causes them great distress.]] However, despite their amnesia, the Doctor often asserts that whatever happened in their past will not define who they are now, and that they are their own person.

* AwfulTruth: "Babel" reveals that [[spoiler:pre-amnesia Doctor knew that Originium was deliberately seeded on Terra by their fellow precursors, who are not native to the planet, as an experiment to see how Terra's native lifeforms would react to it. This is a secret that not even ''Kal'tsit'' knew, and ran completely counter to Babel's stated goals of curing Oripathy, leaving the Doctor conflicted about whether to follow Theresa or stick to the original plan their fellow precursors set. This is what prompted the pre-amnesia Doctor to betray and sabotage Babel from within, which is why Kal'tsit, Amiya, and other former Babel members are so reluctant to reveal too much of the pre-amnesia Doctor's past to the current Doctor]].
* BrokenAce: For all the skills and knowledge they possess, pre-amnesia Doctor is haunted by the fact that [[spoiler: they are the LastOfHisKind, and torn by the dilemma between continuing the precursor's plan and curing Oripathy, leading to the unfortunate tragedy that ended Babel Tower and their attempted suicide by guilt. Worse, it is hinted that pre-amnesia Doctor was betrayed and suffered a mild case of MindRape by their own kind to prevent them from disobedience. In fact, Doctor's amnesia actually saved them from the alleged manipulation, and the Oracle's personality is resurfaced]]

* TheImmune: "Babel" explains [[spoiler:that the Doctor is totally immune to Oripathy, presumably due to their precursor origins who wouldn't see much use harvesting it as an energy resource if they were susceptible to its effects, which also makes the Doctor's continued livelihood the best chance to curing Oripathy and stopping the spread of Originium in its tracks.]]
* InsideJob: "Babel" reveals that [[spoiler:the pre-amnesia Doctor was directly responsible for sabotaging Babel from within and killing Theresa because they realized Therisis' plans were more in line with the precursors' intentions with Originium, since it would further the spread of Oripathy all over Terra. ]]

** "Babel" further reveals that [[spoiler:the pre-amnesia Doctor knew that Originium was deliberately seeded on Terra by their fellow precursors in order to observe its effects on Terra's native lifeforms. The Doctor's purpose was to keep track of the experiment's progress and prevent any disruptions to it. This became a problem when they realized that Theresa and Babel's intentions to find a cure for Oripathy ran counter to the goals of the experiment. Despite their own misgivings, the Doctor ultimately prioritized the experiment and made a deal with Theresis to sabotage Babel from within to ensure Theresa's death and Babel's disbandment. As her last act, Theresa erased the Doctor's memories so that they could start over from a fresh slate and hopefully learn to appreciate and protect all life on Terra]].

** "Babel" would however [[spoiler:confirm this was played ''horrifyingly straight'' on an unprecedented level as the original Doctor before their amnesia was revealed to be [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist a right and proper bastard]] who was serving up all of Terra on a silver platter for the Precursor race's agenda all along, alongside Priestess, to turn Terra into a giant Originium strip mine with Oripathy being a key part of the process, so they can harvest the literal HumanResources they make to supply their civilization back home with their immense energy need demand. In fact, they orchestrated the fall of Babel as an InsideJob with Theresis to prevent a cure for Oripathy, which would have sabotaged the plan the Precursors had for Terra and it's people. Albeit, the Doctor would develop a guilty conscience over the fact and Theresa, exploiting their newfound empathy, [[LaserGuidedAmnesia would purge their memory]] in her dying act to hopefully encourage the Doctor to right their wrong and actually save Terra from Originium.]]
