!!Ghor Dranas/Rosohna

[[folder:Leylas Kryn]]
!!Bright Queen Leylas Kryn
-->'''Race:''' Drow

Head of the Kryn Dynasty and ruler of Xhorhas. She was among those present when the original beacon was discovered by the Drow and led her people in the establishment of the Kryn Dynasty.

* BigBad: From the perspective of the Dwendalian Empire and its residents, Leylas Kryn is an immortal and evil ruler who is seeking to spread darkness across the whole of Wildemount and perhaps beyond.
* BigGood: From the perspective of the Kryn Dynasty, she is a powerful leader who seeks to defend her people from the murderous atrocities of the Dwendalian Empire, and bring retribution upon them for their crimes.
* CrownOfHorns: She wears a headdress of three white crystal ibex-like horns that curve back past her shoulders.
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: [[spoiler:Averted as of Episode 56, although it's unclear whether the trope will ultimately be played straight.]]
* TheHighQueen: Ruler of the entire Kryn Dynasty of Xhorhas.
* ImmortalRuler: Due to possessing BornAgainImmortality by dying and [[{{Reincarnation}} reincarnating]] within the range of a Beacon, she has ruled for more than 600 years and lived over 1,200 years.
* PayEvilUntoEvil: [[spoiler:Advocates this as reason to continue the war against the Dwendalian Empire.]]
-->[[spoiler:"What happens now is retribution. What happens now has been earned by their actions, and by taking something that we require. We will not stop until we’ve left an equal or more share of blood across the Marrow Valley and beyond."]]
* PimpedOutDress: Matt's description of her emphasizes the stunning beauty of her outfit.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: [[spoiler:While she does not blindly trust the Mighty Nein, and at times reprimands them for stepping out of line or asking for too much, she also has faith in their abilities and rewards them for actions and information that benefit the Dynasty.]]
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: According to records in the Dwendalian Empire, the Bright Queen is a formidable and dangerous presence on the battlefield.
* SanitySlippage: [[spoiler:Her advisors have noticed signs of the madness known as typhros that sometimes afflicts consecuted people who have reincarnated multiple times and struggle to reconcile their numerous memories and changes they have gone through.]]
* TimeAbyss: At over 1,200 years old, Leylas Kryn is one of the oldest non-divine characters to appear in the show, potentially surpassing the ancient dragons of the Chroma Conclave. She is also one of the only people alive that was born ''during'' the [[TheTimeOfMyths Age of Arcanum]]!
* TookALevelInCynic: She once shared her partner Quana's idealism about leaving the wastes of Xhorhas and the Drow taking a place amongst the rest of the peoples of Exandria, but her experiences with the Empire and the racism faced by her peoples has eroded that hope.
* {{Transgender}}: PlayedWith. Due to the ResurrectiveImmortality of the Kryn in previous lives she has been male, female, both, and neither.

[[folder:Quana Kryn]]
!!Dusk Captain Quana Kryn
-->'''Race:''' Drow
-->'''Class:''' Fighter (Echo Knight)

* {{Ambadassador}}: She was the lead emissary for the [[spoiler:peace talks with Dwendalian Empire]].
* TheIdealist: Believes that one day the Drow and the other species of Xhorhas can live together openly with the rest of Exandria and has tried to push Leylas towards the same mindset.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Abrianna Mirimm]]
!!Skysybil Abrianna Mirimm
-->'''Race:''' Goblin

An ancient goblin who serves in the court of the Bright Queen, as the Keeper of History. She is also the Umavi of Den Mirimm.
----
* {{Foil}}: To [[spoiler:Nott]] in how they reacted to becoming a goblin. After she was reborn into her current life as a goblin, Abrianna faced some mocking from Drow members of the court who look down upon goblinkin. Unlike [[spoiler:Nott]], she embraced being a goblin and has become a fierce advocate for goblinkins place in the Dynasty and their rights.
* LongLived: Due to the process of consecution, she has lived almost as long as the Bright Queen herself.
* MsExposition: As the court's resident historian and lore master, she is the one who fills the Nein in on the base culture of the Kryn, including the significance of the dodecahedrons, actually named Luxon Beacons.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: She is regarded as a wise and reasonable voice within the royal court.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Essek Thelyss]]
!!Shadowhand Essek Thelyss
[[quoteright:190:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/essek_intro.png]]
[[caption-width-right:190:Essek, as portrayed in the animated intro]]
-->'''Race:''' Drow
-->'''Class:''' Wizard (Graviturgist)

A respected and feared figure within the Bright Queen's court, and a self-described prodigy of Dunamancy. When the Mighty Nine become allies of the Dynasty, Essek is assigned as their handler, often transporting them across great distances, much to his chagrin. Though aloof, he takes a particular interest in fellow wizard Caleb, agreeing to tutor him in Dunamancy in exchange for future favors.
----
* AmbiguouslyGay: His interactions with Caleb have had fans and players alike raising eyebrows for years. Matt has specifically referred to him as MLM (Man Loving Men), an umbrella term of sorts for queer men attracted to men. No mention has been made of any attraction to women. [[note]]Although, he ''may'' have flirted with Jester early on.[[/note]] [[spoiler: Both Matt and Liam have confirmed that, post-finale, he and Caleb are romantically involved.]]
* AmbitionIsEvil: [[spoiler:His desire to master Dunamancy led him to ally with individuals in the Cerberus Assembly, turning the cold war between the Empire and the Dynasty hot to cover their experiments.]]
* {{Asexuality}}: Hinted at - when Beau asks if he ever [[ItMakesSenseInContext scried on the Nein while they were naked]], he rather testily replies that he has "no interest in such things". Matt later clarified on Twitter that Essek is demisexual, and considers relationships a risk not worth taking. [[spoiler: Well, until he met this one wizard...]]
* TheAtoner: He ends up [[spoiler: joining the Nein to fight against Lucien, and understands that while his past can't fully be erased, he wants to make up for his mistakes now and save what lives he can.]]
* BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler:Admits he first wanted to keep a close eye on the Mighty Nein to protect his secrets, but unexpectedly found himself becoming genuine friends with them and had no idea how to handle it.]]
* BerserkButton: [[spoiler: When Lucien delivers a hit onto Caleb]] this gets a violent reaction out of Essek who roars out in anger and unleashes an eighth level spell because he had hurt Caleb.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He is easily the friendliest ally the Nein have in the Dynasty, but even from his earliest appearances he's made it clear he's ''not'' to be trifled with.
-->'''Nott''': Do we have to ''kill you'' to get him [[note]]Yeza [[/note]] out of here?\\
'''Essek''': ''[[DissonantLaughter (laughing)]]'' I'd like to see you try!
* ByronicHero: He is a highly intelligent figure who has faced intense pressure to live up the expectations placed on him, resulting in him isolating himself from much of society to focus on his duties and experiments, making him unfamiliar with experiencing many emotions related to friendship. He is also highly passionate about his desire to expand on and test the limits of Dunamancy, and ends up taking several actions to further that desire that are decidedly unheroic but which he feels are necessary. [[spoiler:Essek also ends up filled with regret and self-loathing over how his actions may cost him his friendship with the Mighty Nein, noting how hard it was to realize he betrayed them before ever meeting him]].
* CannotTellAJoke: Played with. He jokes with the Nein, but given how serious he is most of the time, it's very difficult for them to tell.
* DarkIsNotEvil: His title of Shadowhand and black/purple cloak give him a rather sinister first impression, but Essek is one of the most reasonable people the Nein meet on the continent and he holds none of the prejudices that some of his comrades do towards non-Kryn. [[spoiler: All of which makes the reveal of him being the traitor that much more painful.]]
* EnemyMine: [[spoiler:Made a deal with the Cerberus Assembly to hand over two Beacons to them in exchange for notes about anything they discovered from them. Essek makes it quite clear that he dearly hopes to never see any of the Assembly again once their shared interests are finished.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: [[spoiler:In a somewhat literal sense. Essek is partially responsible for starting the war in the first place for selfish reasons, but he’s come to genuinely care for the Nein.]]
* {{GMPC}}: [[spoiler: Joins the party for the final arc, and is run by DM Matt Mercer. Fortunately, Matt is not in the habit of succumbing to the negative aspects of this trope.]]
* GuestStarPartyMember: [[spoiler: Joins the Mighty Nein in their journey into the ruin of Aeor.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: Seems to fully set in during the penultimate episode, where [[spoiler: characteristically composed Essek weeps for Mollymauk, a man he never even knew except through the Nein's love for him, and expresses hope that he can use his magic to bring good to the world and heal the wounds he caused.]]
* HonoraryTrueCompanion: The final arc sees him all but officially named a member of the Mighty Nein. [[spoiler: Jester gushes that with Molly resurrected and him included, there is finally nine of the Nein.]]
* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: Due to his status as a prodigy, duties as Shadowhand, and disagreements over the Dynasty's focus on religion instead of magical research regarding the Beacons, Essek spends much of his time alone in his towers experimenting when not on duty and does not interact much with the rest of the royal court. After getting to know the Nein better he opens up to them and even joins them for dinner before inviting them to breakfast the next day, during which they notice that his dining hall has been noticeably unused.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: [[spoiler: With Caleb, for a while. [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]] since it's the difficulties of their different lifespans which eventually break them up, albeit [[AmicableExes on good terms with them remaining close friends.]]]]
* TheMentor: He becomes one to Caleb in the arts of Dunamancy, teaching him several spells and later assisting him with research into [[spoiler:Halas' incomplete body alteration spell]].
* TheMole: [[spoiler:He is to some extent secretly in cahoots with the Cerberus Assembly.]]
* MyGreatestFailure: While bonding with the Nein, one of the questions they toss around is what they consider the worst thing they ever did. Essek states that he angered his father so badly that he then went unprepared into Bazzoxan and never came back. [[NoodleIncident What he did to anger him and why that caused his father to go to Bazzoxan]] is not expanded upon, but it is implied to be related to Essek's belief that his father was not a great or successful individual.
* NayTheist: Somewhat downplayed. He admits the existence of gods, but he isn't sure about the religion of the Luxon, even though he utilizes the magic it has revealed.
* NoSocialSkills: In a way. Essek is a very eloquent and well-spoken individual while discussing court business and Dunamancy, but [[MarriedToTheJob doesn't really have much of a social life to speak of.]] As such, he seems a bit thrown off at the Mighty Nein's attempts to get to know him more-personally, coming across as awkward and not very good at small talk.
* NotSoAboveItAll: When the Nein are falling, Caleb starts showboating to Essek by flying around. Essek ends up using a fly spell so he could show off as well.
* NotSoDifferent: As revealed in Episode 97, he is not all that different from the Mighty Nein themselves.
-->'''[[spoiler:Veth]]:''' [[spoiler:You're a broken person with bad intentions who set on a path you had no idea how to complete, and somewhere along the way you found a heart. You sound like all of us.]]
* NotSoStoic: His usual demeanor is cool and aloof. The facade begins cracking when [[spoiler: the Nein confronts him about collaborating with the Assembly]]; by the time the Nein bring him in on[[spoiler: their conflict with the Tomb Takers and the world-shaking stakes in Eiselcross, as well as the heat they're bringing from Ikithon and the Volstruckers]], it's completely shattered.
* ObliquelyObfuscatedOccupation: His role within the Dynasty as Shadowhand has yet to be elaborated upon.
* PlatonicLifePartners: Complicated. [[spoiler: Though he and Caleb are romantically involved for a while, Caleb's need to help fix the Empire, along with their differing lifespans, gets in the way of this. The two still remain close friends for the rest of Caleb's lifetime.]]
* PowerFloats: The party notices that he seems to glide smoothly along while walking with them, and Jester manages to eventually confirm that Essek hovers just off the ground instead of physically walking. Essek eventually admits to the Nein that he initially began floating all the time as a show of power in the royal court due to being so young and having expectations placed on him, but it began to be expected of him and now he cannot stop. As a sign of trust and growing friendship with the Nein, he begins to stop floating in their presence in private.
* PrettyBoy: One mention of him being very handsome in-universe irrevocably sealed his status as this, to the point that his appearances are accompanied by numerous instances of "HOT BOI" in the twitch chat. Also remarked on by Jester, Nott, Reani and Beau.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He seems far more tolerant of the party, particularly its human members, than other members of the Dynasty, even agreeing to teach Caleb a few basic Dunamancy spells after they gain more of his trust. He later vouches for them with the Bright Queen when she asks him if they should trust the information the party brought to her court regarding [[spoiler:an upcoming attack by the Empire and a planned meeting by a Imperial agent in the capital]]. Essek later [[spoiler:encourages the Nein to not mention that the Empire found another beacon to anyone else in the Dynasty, as that would derail the peace talks if they don't return it and he wants the war to end for the good of everyone]]. [[spoiler:Of course, he has his own agenda. He means what he says, but he is also playing the Nein to his own benefit here.]]
* TeenGenius: DownplayedTrope. He's in the second century of his first life (120 years old as of Episode 91, to be precise), which makes him a young adult in drow society, but he is clearly ''very'' young for his high position.
* {{Teleportation}}: Charitably offers to teleport the Mighty Nein towards the Flotket Alps and, despite a minor TeleporterAccident, manages to get them pretty much exactly where they wanted to be.
* TimeMaster: Adept in Dunamancy, he's unphased by the effects of temporal warping within the Rosohna prison.
* TortureTechnician: Part of his duties as Shadowhand involve overseeing interrogations at the Dungeon of Penance.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: One reason he [[spoiler:handed over the Beacons in exchange for research on them was because he fears what would happen if someone else in the Dynasty unlocked secrets of Dunamancy before him and what they might do with it]].
* WillTheyOrWontThey: With Caleb. [[spoiler: They do.]]
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: [[spoiler:Caleb basically tells him this when he begs Essek to help them repair the damage caused by the stolen beacons. Later reversed, when Essek assures Caleb that he is ''not'' a bad man, no matter what his past actions may have been.]]
[[/folder]]

----
* DitzyGenius: Highly accomplished in her field as a GadgeteerGenius, but CuriousAsAMonkey about things and people who come from outside Xhorhas.
* FantasticRacism: It's unclear exactly the extent to which she is prejudiced against at least humans and halflings, but Waccoh certainly has some issues with them and states after getting annoyed that Caleb and Beau are lucky to still be alive as "humies" in the heart of the Xhorhasian Empire.
* MadScientist: Complete with EinsteinHair and her own MadScientistLaboratory in the Marble Tomes conservatory.

* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Everyone noticed his muscles, even Caduceus.

-->'''Race:''' Stone Giant
-->'''Class:''' Druid

The leader of a small group of stone giants that fled their fortress following an attack from demonic creatures and subsequently took refuge in the Icozrin Steelworks.
----
* BadassBoast: Soorna is not impressed with the way the Mighty Nein overcome her and her compatriots, and is not afraid to let Caduceus know it when he implies that his group could have killed hers:
-->'''Soorna:''' Your tricks keep us docile, but strength against strength, you would still be smashed.
* BalefulPolymorph: Subjected to this during her initial fight with the Mighty Nein, being turned into a killer whale by Jester. Since there's no body of water nearby, Soorna can do little but flop frustratedly in place until she's returned to her original form.
* BoulderBludgeon: Proves very lethal with these, finishing off both Chasme with some well-aimed boulders.[[note]]And in doing so, she became the first NPC on Critical Role to get the HDYWTDT.[[/note]]
* DreamingOfThingsToCome: Soorna frequently glimpses the future in her dreams, but she often needs a lot of time to interpret them properly, and even then, she might not realize she has foreseen an event until it has already come to pass.
* HealingHands: Knows the ''Cure Wounds'' spell.

----
* DeathOfPersonality: The “Charlie” personality vanishes after his full restoral.
* DissonantSerenity: Devexian has no emotional reaction upon finding out that he's the last survivor of Aeorian civilization and that he's been deactivated for hundreds of years. This takes the Nein by surprise and they become a little more wary of him after the fact.
* ElectronicSpeechImpediment: When the Nein first find him, he's so damaged that he can't help but rapidly change the volume of his voice, repeat words over and over, and end sentences by saying "I'm Charlie" instead of whatever he was trying to communicate.
* FlowersForAlgernonSyndrome: Lampshaded - the Nein manage to find a repair chamber that can restore Charlie to full working order, but realise that regaining all of his original programming and functionality might turn him into a KillerRobot.
* InstantExpert: Charlie learns how to speak perfect Common after hearing one sentence in the language, a testament to how advanced Aeorian technology was.

'''Essek''': ''(laughing)'' I'd like to see you try!

* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: [[spoiler:Caleb basically tells him this when he begs Essek to help them repair the damage he (Essek) caused.]]

* MayflyDecemberRomance: [[spoiler: With Caleb, for a while.]]
