History Characters / Dragaera

* KaleidoscopeEyes: A useful version, warning others of her temper/their impending death.

* TheWatson: We aren't always privy to the details of Vlad's plans, but he always has to explain them to Loiosh.

* PragmaticHero: Best illustrated in ''Teckla'' where, while he admits to wanting the Empire overthrown sees, correctly, the revolution as doomed and refuses to support it. At the end he uses money he's accumulated to buy the disputed neighborhood and put it under his protection.

* [[spoiler: {{Tykebomb}}]]

* ContractOnTheHitman: From ''Phoenix'' onwards, and briefly in ''Jhereg''. [[spoiler: ''Hawk'' sees the Jhereg Council remove the price from Vlad's soul, but the Left Hand opening its own bids on his life.]]

* {{Badass}}

* {{Badass}}

* TheNondescript: As described by Vlad in ''Dzur'', Mario is a plain, kind of paunchy middle aged guy who looks completely harmless (which is why Vlad [[DangerouslyGenreSavvy suspects correctly he's a dangerous assassin]])

* AdventurerArcheologist: The short story "The Desecrator" revealed that Daymar investigates old ruins and locates buried artifacts. Subverted in that he's ''not'' into the "death-defying thrills" aspect of this trope, and is perfectly willing to teleport out at the first sign of danger ... at least, once he notices it's there. Also, he's honest enough to ''call'' himself a "desecrator" for robbing old burial grounds and such.

* LevitatingLotusPosition: How he's always posed when he pops up via teleportation. Vlad isn't quite sure if he does it to show off, and if so, why he'd think it's impressive considering how easily it can be done via sorcery.

* MosesInTheBullrushes, leading to...

* ObliviiousAdoption: Always knew she was an orphan raised by Dragonlords, but she didn't know she was a ''Phoenix'' rather than a Dragon until Sethra started training her.

* LiteralMinded: Once you have to tell Daymar why you think his help will be useful, you still need to ''ask'' him to help or he'll just keep nodding that, yes, you're right about that.

A Hawklord and master of psychic power whom Vlad turns to for aid with mind-reading and related matters. Reluctantly, because he's socially-oblivious and really, ''really'' annoying.

* LadyOfWar

* {{Expy}}: He isn't one, but "The Desecrator" shows his sword to be one of [[EvilWeapon Stormbringer]] in the ''TheElricSaga''.

* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: In an almost literal example, she manages to disrupt a Jenoine's concentration and the spell it was performing by ''insulting'' it at precisely the right time. [[spoiler: Also, as befits her House, she struck without warning and managed to wound a Jenoine [[DyingMomentOfAwesome before she went down]].]]

Vlad's {{Familiar}}, a [[ShoulderSizedDragon jhereg]] -- a small, venomous flying lizard, something like a miniature [[OurDragonsAreDifferent wyvern]]. He's fully sentient, and spends most of his time making snarky telepathic comments to Vlad.

* Xenofiction: Portions of ''Athyra'' are written from Rocza's point of view.

Vlad's {{Familiar}}, a [[ShoulderSizedDragon jhereg]] -- a small, venomous flying lizard, something like a miniature [[OurDragonsAreDifferent wyvern]]. He's fully sentient, and spends most of his time making snarky telepathic comments to Vlad. His mate, Rocza, is a wild jhereg who tags along with Vlad as well.

* ContractOnTheHitman: From ''Phoenix'' onwards, and briefly in ''Jhereg''.

The Chatelaine of Castle Black, an Issola. Very polite, very smooth-talking, and an all-around wonderful person. During ''Issola'', [[spoiler:she was stabbed with a Morganti blade. Before her soul could be completely destroyed, Vlad managed to save most of it and use it to construct his [[EmpathicWeapon Great Weapon]], Godslayer, where it currently resides, dormant (for now)]].
