History Characters / Birthright

* WeHardlyKnewThee: [[spoiler: He dies 5 pages after appearing, and doesn't really get much expansion afterwards compared to the other four.]]

* FateWorseThenDeath: Since Lore took over Terrenos, he's been using Rook as a "torture toy". Particularly cruel in that [[spoiler: once he finally manages to escape, he's accidentally murdered within a few hours]].

* BodyHorror: Was subjected to this in the flashbacks when her magic awakened during Mikey's training, transforming her entire body into a inhuman monstrousity.

* TheChick: She doesn't necessarily qualify as TheHeart for the group, but she is the only female and arguably the most prone to kindness than the others. [[spoiler:Cruelly subverted]].

* AnAxeToGrind: He wields an massive axe as his weapon of choice.

The most reclusive of the five mages, as well as the most deadly in combat. A silent assassin who would obliterate his enemies before they even knew he was there. [[spoiler:He's in reality Sameal Rhodes, Aaron's father and Mikey and Brennan's grandfather.]]

!!Enoch

* KnifeNut: He uses a pair of magical daggers known as "Blades of Forever" that can make anyone struck with it relive their most painful memories.

* AdultFear: Having his youngest child going missing under his watch, being accused of murdering him and then watch his family slowly crumble around him... Aaron's ordeal is pure, realistic NightmareFuel.

* LockedIntoStrangeness: His abuse of magic under [[spoiler:Kalista's influence]] leads to a small part of his ginger hair goiing grey.

* SkunkStripe: His abuse of magic under [[spoiler:Kalista's influence]] leads to a small part of his ginger hair goiing grey.

* InvincibleVillain: DeconstructedCharacterArchetype. He is so incredibly powerful that everyone who opposes him just straight up given up in fighting him and has either fled Terrenos to somewhere safer (like the Five) or has submitted to him (like Mike and Kallista). And being indestructible in combat does not automatically make him a perfect dictator, as he has utterly failed to stop the resistance from summoning an endless supply of children from another world to fight him in vain, performing DestructiveSaviour terrorism to his infrastructure and enforcers along the way, ultimately preventing him from ending the war that ravages his empire.

* BadassBeard: Adult Mikey sports a really scruffy one.

* BadassBeard: He got a long and bushy one in his true form, in contrast to [[BeardOfEvil Kylen's short beard.]]

* NotSoDifferentRemark: [[spoiler:Subverted. Mastema appears to be just as deluded as her father about the nobility of her goals, but the heroes say that she is ''actually worse'' since she wants to have entire worlds destroyed rather than conquered]].

* TheChosenOne: Mikey is regarded as a chosen one due to his rare ability to walk between dimensions and he is supposedly fated to destroy God-King Lore. Desconstructed, as the pressure of being separated for his loved ones for years and forced into a role he never asked for, as well as the many horrors witnessed in the war drove Mikey to rebel against his role and side with the monster he was supposed to kill, because he offered to relieve him from the burden and reunite him with his family. [[spoiler:As it turns out, he never was one in the first place]].

* InvincibleVillain: Desconstructed. He is so incredibly powerful that everyone who opposes him just straight up given up in fighting him and has either fled Terrenos to somewhere safer (like the Five) or has submitted to him (like Mike and Kallista). And being indestructible in combat does not automatically make him a perfect dictator, as he has utterly failed to stop the resistance from summoning an endless supply of children from another world to fight him in vain, performing DestructiveSaviour terrorism to his infrastructure and enforcers along the way, ultimately preventing him from ending the war that ravages his empire.

* NotSoDifferent: [[spoiler:Subverted. Mastema appears to be just as deluded as her father about the nobility of her goals, but the heroes say that she is ''actually worse'' since she wants to have entire worlds destroyed rather than conquered]].

* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: One of the good guys in Terrenos and on Mikey's side.

* SatanicArchetype: Horrifying demonic being? Check. Makes deals with others offering power in exchange of their souls? Check. [[spoiler:Used to be a heroic figure until he eventually fell out of grace]]? Check.

* FallenHero: [[spoiler:He is revealed to be the real Chosen One and he already saved Terrenos, but ''something'' happened to him that turned Lore into what he is today]].

* BadassInDistress: [[spoiler:In Issue #20, he is revealed to still be alive and being held prisoner by Lore]].

* DwindlingParty: Over the course of the series, they all die one by one starting with Ward. [[spoiler:By Issue #40, they are all dead]].

* DespairEventHorizon: All of them crossed it before the events of the series, after spending so many years fighting against Lore and noticing they were not making any progress, they all agreed that Terrenos was beyond saving and placed a barrier around this dimension to prevent Lore from conquering all others.

* AntiVillain: [[spoiler:Despite wanting both worlds to be destroyed so she can make an new one sounds pretty egomaniacal to the heroes, Mastema reasons that it's preferable than both worlds being controlled by [[InvicibleVillain her father]].]]

* BigGood: [[spoiler:With three of the mages dead and Mastema going missing in action, Sameal is the only mage left whose sole existence keeps the barrier's stable and he is trying his best to find to stop Lore from conquering Earth]].

* PapaWolf: PlayedForDrama when he ends up [[spoiler:killing Enoch when he is threatening to murder his son Aaron, which causes the barrier between Earth and Terrenos to be weakened]].
