Characters from the WebVideo/EpicNPCMan series by WebVideo/VivaLaDirtLeague.
! Non-Player Characters
[[folder:Greg The Garlic Farmer]]
-> Ah! Hello Adventurer and welcome to the Town of Honeywood!
!! Greg The Garlic Farmer
The titular WebVideo/EpicNPCMan, and serves as a major questgiver and general merchant in Honeywood. He is aware that things are not quite right in the world, but has not fully realised that he is in a video game.
* ArtifactTitle: Originally, every episode was about Greg at the titular WebVideo/EpicNPCMan, or at least took place in front of his shop. Nowadays, he doesn't appear in every episode.
* ArtificialBrilliance: Greg hasn't exactly figured out that he's in a video game, but is more than aware enough to realise things aren't quite right about his world.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Greg threatens death to an adventurer, when he does not stop skipping the dialogue.
* GrewBeyondTheirProgramming: He's at least somewhat self-aware and recognise the many oddities about their world.
* NiceGuy: Greg is usually nice to everyone.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Greg is usually the most level-headed character, but he's not immune to having his crazy moments.
** For example, in "Accept", when Greg is poisoned and supposedly has a few minutes to live, he spends most of the episode trying to get the attention of the heroes to help save him,... except when he sees two people playing ''Hearthstone''-esque mini game, where he cares more about who is winning.
* OnlySaneMan: Greg usually fulfils that role, although even he is not immune to oddities.
* UniquenessValue: Subverted in the episode "One of a Kind". He provides his family heirloom, a ring, to the first adventurer. He then, more reluctantly, offers the same to the second adventurer. The box gets dropped, and we find that [[spoiler:there are actually a lot of rings in his box]].
* WhatTheHellPlayer: In "Insensitively Looting Dead Bodies", Greg is aghast at the player looting the bodies of several villagers killed by bad guys. In the end, the player even loots the corpse of his female companion's mother mere seconds after she dies, ''while the companion is actively weeping over her''.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Bodger The Blacksmith]]
%%-> needs quote
The blacksmith and occasional questgiver in Honeywood. He is slightly aware that things are quite right, but not to the extend of Greg.
* AdamSmithHatesYourGuts: He sells high-level equipment to players at inflated prices. Examples include "Legendary Sword" ([[spoiler:the player finds that they are not high enough level to wield what he just purchased]]) and "Markup" ([[spoiler:where the player accidentally sells Bodger his main weapon and is infuriated to learn he has to buy it back with all the gold he has]]).
* ADayInTheLimelight: "Blacksmith", early in the series, focuses on Bodge. He takes upon himself to forge a set of legendary armour for the PC's quest. This is the first episode that Greg doesn't show up in during the episode proper, though he does appear in the {{Stinger}}.
* LineOfSightName: The Historical Village that WebVideo/VivaLaDirtLeague film at already had the "Bodger" sign at the blacksmith stall.
* NoHeroDiscount: Skewered in "Legendary Sword" when Bodger the Blacksmith charges Adam the player for the title sword to slay the dragons that threaten to destroy everything, including Bodger himself.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Baelin The Fisherman]]
-> Morning! Nice day for fishing ain't it? Hua hah!
The local fisherman of Honeywood. Only has one voice line.
* ArtificialBrilliance: Baelin, despite his very limited AI, also seems capable of functioning past that point should he be placed under enough stress.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Baelin is an annoying fisherman who always repeats the same phrase, but when two adventurers make the mistake of attacking him, he beats them both.
* BrokenRecord: Has only one voice line. He speaks it every time he passes Greg's shop.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Baelin, most of the time he is an annoying fisherman who always repeats a phrase, but if they make him angry, shows how dangerous he really is.
* ImprovisedWeapon: Baelin, the fisherman in "Chicken" uses his pole like the rest use their swords. [[ItMakesAsMuchSenseInContext Yeah, go figure.]] In later instances he uses it as a staff.
* IntelligibleUnintelligible: Baelin's "Mornin'! Nice day for fishin', ain't it?" line usually has no deeper meaning, but when he does want to convey something else the other characters have no trouble interpreting it.
* VideoGameCrueltyPunishment: Two adventurers take a beating when they try to attack Baelin.
* WelcomeToCorneria: "Nice day for fishing, ain't it?" Even after he has repaired a shop, or ''killed a player''. And even when the lake is frozen in winter!
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Eugene]]
-> Slow yourself, adventurer! ''[pathetic crying]''
The local [[TheChewToy chewtoy]] of Honeywood.
* TheChewToy: Made to be this by the game programmers. His house burns down in his first appearance. His life only gets worse from there.
* EscortMission: Usually gives out these. Unfortunately, his walking speed is about two feet per minute.
* ProneToTears: Eugene the EscortMission NPC, who is constantly sobbing uncontrollably and loudly about his dead family. This can lead to very unpleasant situations, like alerting enemies during his quest.
* WelcomeToCorneria: His pathetic crying is nigh-identical each time. Impressively, it's not a stock soundclip; his actor does the cry each time.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Fred the Fruit Merchant]]
%%-> needs quote
The local fruit merchant of Honeywood. He is constantly in the position of being close to needing to sell his children to avoid starvation.
* AdamSmithHatesYourGuts: He is forced to buy items he doesn't need from players, despite not having enough to support his family.
* ChewToy: Like Eugene, but more caused by player actions than how he is programmed. Players force-sell him items he doesn't need at inflated prices and rob his chest left out in the wilderness.
* DontYouDarePityMe: As the muggers found out, this is one of Fred's BerserkButton. Fred is more ''insulted'' that the muggers gave him money to fix his cart and get his life on track, thinking that he was that so pathetic that the muggers would rather show him kindness than rob him blind.
* VideoGameCrueltyPunishment: While Fred (somewhat) is perfectly fine getting abused verbally and mentally, but hitting him physically? [[BerserkButton He will get instantly mad]] and whip out a {{BFS}} to turn the schmuck into LudicrousGibs with just [[OneHitKill one swipe.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Town Guard]]
-> For the peace of the kingdom!
-> For the King!
-> For the Alliance!
-> For king and country!
[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The town guard]] of Honeywood. More guards appear as required.
* ArtificialStupidity: He's [[TisOnlyABulletInTheBrain taken an arrow to the head]] (and [[FailedASpotCheck not even noticed]]), been killed by an Assassin whilst distracted, and [[ConspicuouslySelectivePerception had a bucket put on his head]] so a player could steal from the shop, [[ImpossibleThief has his uniform stolen off him]], and wound up in the town lake for one episode.
* BrokenRecord: More and less than Baelin; Baelin speaks his single line when he walks past Greg's shop every few minutes, but the guard speaks one of his four lines every few seconds.
* ConspicuouslySelectivePerception: The guard is killed in "Assassin" because he concentrates on the stone being thrown, despite Greg noticing the assassin and trying to tell him.
* DisproportionateRetribution: If a player kicks a chicken, or defends himself from bandits in front of the guard, they will be horribly killed.
* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy:
** "Perception": A guard investigates the murder of one of their comrades, only to holler out [[BrokenRecord repeatedly]] "What could have done this?!"
** "Persuade": A group of guards attempt to arrest a player for her numerous crimes. They set her free when she simply convinces them that [[BlatantLies she didn't do it]]... ''only to let her murder one of their comrades.''
* ImprobablePowerDiscrepancy: In "Over Powered", a guard congratulates the adventurer for defeating the troll, as the guards were not strong enough to defeat him, but the adventurer was. When the adventurer accidentally kicks a chicken, the guard kills the adventurer in a single attack.

[[folder:The Muggers]]
-> "What are we?"
-> "We’re Muggers."
-> "And what do muggers do?"
-> "They mug people."
-> "So...Let’s go mug ‘em!"
Bernard and Charles, the Honeywood muggers. Both are fairly stupid, though Charles does have moments of brilliance, albeit rather short moments.
* ArtificialBrilliance: Charles also has this (occasionally); but Bernard, has more charisma points.
* BullyingADragon: Bernard always tries to assault targets that are much more powerful than themselves, while Charles tends to fail to talk him out of it. In one episode, they even try to mug a ''literal'' dragon.
* GrewBeyondTheirProgramming: Charles appears to attempt this when the circumstance is stupid enough, but is eventually reset by Bernard with a "Hey! What are we?!" He also notices when a dialogue loop happens, but is again unable to break out of it.
* IgnoredEpiphany: In "Vikings", they are robbed by the titular Vikings -- two of whom had distracted the pair with a polite conversation that described the very method that was used on the pair, as a third snuck up and stole their stuff -- and thus realise, for the first time in their lives, the sort of feeling that they've given their own victims. To cheer themselves up, they decide to mug [[TheChewToy Eugene]].
* SuicidalOverconfidence: The muggers can't resist trying to mug people, even high-level players who can kill them in an instant. Or dragons. Or, on one bizarrely successful instance, a wheelbarrow.
* TeamRocketWins: The muggers finally get a successful robbery when they decide to mug a wagon. (It should be noted that they were not mugging a driver, but the wagon, the inanimate object, itself.)
[[/folder]]
[[folder:High Sorcerer Baradun]]
-> Portal away!
The questgiver for the main storyline, concerning the entire realm of Azerim (i.e. not just Honeywood). Is completely aware that he is a video game character, but mostly uses this knowledge to be a dick to Greg.
* {{Jerkass}}: He never misses a chance to be condescending about Greg and Honeywood.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Isaac]]
--> ''[flatly]'' It's heartbreaking knowing what has happened to the women and children. They truly are suffering in these dark times.
Bodger's friend. The developers didn't hire a talented voice actor for him.
* DullSurprise: He sleepwalks his way through any video he appears in, no matter how dramatic the situation.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Darkwood]]
-->Good evening! Glorious night for fishing, wouldn't you say? [[EvilLaugh Muhuhu... muhuhahaha!]]
Darkwood is another village down the road from Honeywood. It's similar to Honeywood, but dark.
* BrainsEvilBrawnGood: [[EvilCounterpart Darkwood!Baelin]] speaks in a noticeably more sophisticated manner.
* CutAndPasteEnvironments: As the adventurer completes her final quest in Honeywood, Greg warns her to stay away from a dark evil town named Darkwood found up in the north. She then takes a time-lapsed journey to "Darkwood",... which just ends up being Honeywood with a dark fog filter applied to the camera. She then has a brief encounter with an "evil" version of Greg (who offers her a virtually identical quest) as well as Darkwood!Baelin.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Honeywood's EvilTwin settlement is "a dark, evil town named Darkwood, where darkness reigns".
* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: The Darkwood!Greg. Despite being supposedly evil, his evil actions are limited to a Machiavellian laugh; beyond that, he is no different from Greg.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Adam]]
* DamnYouMuscleMemory: Adam, who is used to "F" being the "Use" key, discovers that it is the "Punch" key, resulting in him accidentally punching Greg constantly when he presses it to advance the conversation.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Alan]]
* NoSell: In "Overpowered from Side Quests", he ignores the main quest and get powerful gear from side quests. When he decides to get back to the main story, the thieves guild leader can't even scratch him. Even a bomb blowing up in front of him does nothing.

[[folder:Ben]]
Often finds himself arguing for game logic when paired with Rowan.
* GameplayAllyImmortality: During the episode "Taking advantage of NPC's - Cannon Fodder" a patch that made village escort [=NPCs=] unkillable is introduced. Ben decides to exploit this and accepts their quests, then leads them to a high-level giant demonic boss. Suddenly all the harmless-looking civilians pull out improvised weapons, then proceed to whittle down the boss' health while Ben steps back and smirks.
* InsurmountableWaistHighFence: In "Blocked Path", Rowan and Ben argue about their ability to cross an ankle-high fallen log.

[[folder:Britt]]
The sole recurring female player.
* AllMenArePerverts: She often finds herself subject to outright blatant sexual harassment in the game.
* BribingYourWayToVictory: In "Skipping the Grind with Money", Britt gets annoyed with Rowan when he pays real money to unlock armour that take a long time to earn with in-game progress. Rowan argues that he ''has'' earned the armour, by working at his job in real life, to which Britt concedes he has a fair point. However, she still is disgusted when the items he buys include weapons that provide a significant in-game advantage instead of just being cosmetic.
* ChainmailBikini: Whenever Britt is playing a [=PC=], this trope inevitably comes into play. She once picked up a chestplate discarded by a male player, only for it to transform into a ChainmailBikini. Later episodes would drop this and give her more practical armour.

[[folder:Rowan]]
Often finds himself arguing for real life logic when paired with Ben.
* AchievementsInIgnorance: In "Missing an Obvious Game Mechanic", Rowan expresses dismay at coming across a murder scene, saying there are no clues and it will take hours to track the killers. Ben is confused since the quest should only take a few minutes with [[FluorescentFootprints Detective Mode]], slowly realising that Rowan has no idea how to use this mechanic or that it even exists. He's stunned, then admits he's honestly impressed Rowan got this far in the game solving these quests through sheer brute force.

* OnlySaneMan: Rowan would be playing this role against Ben,... if this were real life. Rowan's character is using real world logic, and thus makes sense to the viewer; while Ben's character is respecting the rules of the ''game's'' logic, and thus naturally the sketch will ultimately prove Ben right.

* TheDitz: When looking for clues regarding the missing mayor in his house, fails to notice the overturned chair, the blood-stained knife, the puddle of blood, or [[spoiler:[[BreadEggsMilkSquick the mayor's corpse]]]].
* HaHaHaNo: When Dinkledork applies to join the Rangers Guild, this is the ranger's response. Then Dinkledork puts on a Charisma Ring and the ranger immediately sees him as worthy, even though he's still the same dork as he's been before.
* MeaningfulName: Exactly how you would imagine a character named Dinkledork would be.

! Non-Player Characters
[[folder:Greg The Garlic Farmer]]
-> Ah! Hello Adventurer and welcome to the Town of Honeywood!
!! Greg The Garlic Farmer
The titular WebVideo/EpicNPCMan, and serves as a major questgiver and general merchant in Honeywood. He is aware that things are not quite right in the world, but has not fully realised that he is in a video game.
* ArtifactTitle: Originally, every episode was about Greg at the titular WebVideo/EpicNPCMan, or at least took place in front of his shop. Nowadays, he doesn't appear in every episode.
* ArtificialBrilliance: Greg hasn't exactly figured out that he's in a video game, but is more than aware enough to realise things aren't quite right about his world.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Greg threatens death to an adventurer, when he does not stop skipping the dialogue.
* GrewBeyondTheirProgramming: He's at least somewhat self-aware and recognise the many oddities about their world.
* NiceGuy: Greg is usually nice to everyone.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Greg is usually the most level-headed character, but he's not immune to having his crazy moments.
** For example, in "Accept", when Greg is poisoned and supposedly has a few minutes to live, he spends most of the episode trying to get the attention of the heroes to help save him,... except when he sees two people playing ''Hearthstone''-esque mini game, where he cares more about who is winning.
* OnlySaneMan: Greg usually fulfils that role, although even he is not immune to oddities.
* UniquenessValue: Subverted in the episode "One of a Kind". He provides his family heirloom, a ring, to the first adventurer. He then, more reluctantly, offers the same to the second adventurer. The box gets dropped, and we find that [[spoiler:there are actually a lot of rings in his box]].
* WhatTheHellPlayer: In "Insensitively Looting Dead Bodies", Greg is aghast at the player looting the bodies of several villagers killed by bad guys. In the end, the player even loots the corpse of his female companion's mother mere seconds after she dies, ''while the companion is actively weeping over her''.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Bodger The Blacksmith]]
%%-> needs quote
The blacksmith and occasional questgiver in Honeywood. He is slightly aware that things are quite right, but not to the extend of Greg.
* AdamSmithHatesYourGuts: He sells high-level equipment to players at inflated prices. Examples include "Legendary Sword" ([[spoiler:the player finds that they are not high enough level to wield what he just purchased]]) and "Markup" ([[spoiler:where the player accidentally sells Bodger his main weapon and is infuriated to learn he has to buy it back with all the gold he has]]).
* ADayInTheLimelight: "Blacksmith", early in the series, focuses on Bodge. He takes upon himself to forge a set of legendary armour for the PC's quest. This is the first episode that Greg doesn't show up in during the episode proper, though he does appear in the {{Stinger}}.
* LineOfSightName: The Historical Village that WebVideo/VivaLaDirtLeague film at already had the "Bodger" sign at the blacksmith stall.
* NoHeroDiscount: Skewered in "Legendary Sword" when Bodger the Blacksmith charges Adam the player for the title sword to slay the dragons that threaten to destroy everything, including Bodger himself.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Baelin The Fisherman]]
-> Morning! Nice day for fishing ain't it? Hua hah!
The local fisherman of Honeywood. Only has one voice line.
* ArtificialBrilliance: Baelin, despite his very limited AI, also seems capable of functioning past that point should he be placed under enough stress.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Baelin is an annoying fisherman who always repeats the same phrase, but when two adventurers make the mistake of attacking him, he beats them both.
* BrokenRecord: Has only one voice line. He speaks it every time he passes Greg's shop.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Baelin, most of the time he is an annoying fisherman who always repeats a phrase, but if they make him angry, shows how dangerous he really is.
* ImprovisedWeapon: Baelin, the fisherman in "Chicken" uses his pole like the rest use their swords. [[ItMakesAsMuchSenseInContext Yeah, go figure.]] In later instances he uses it as a staff.
* IntelligibleUnintelligible: Baelin's "Mornin'! Nice day for fishin', ain't it?" line usually has no deeper meaning, but when he does want to convey something else the other characters have no trouble interpreting it.
* VideoGameCrueltyPunishment: Two adventurers take a beating when they try to attack Baelin.
* WelcomeToCorneria: "Nice day for fishing, ain't it?" Even after he has repaired a shop, or ''killed a player''. And even when the lake is frozen in winter!
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Eugene]]
-> Slow yourself, adventurer! ''[pathetic crying]''
The local [[TheChewToy chewtoy]] of Honeywood.
* TheChewToy: Made to be this by the game programmers. His house burns down in his first appearance. His life only gets worse from there.
* EscortMission: Usually gives out these. Unfortunately, his walking speed is about two feet per minute.
* ProneToTears: Eugene the EscortMission NPC, who is constantly sobbing uncontrollably and loudly about his dead family. This can lead to very unpleasant situations, like alerting enemies during his quest.
* WelcomeToCorneria: His pathetic crying is nigh-identical each time. Impressively, it's not a stock soundclip; his actor does the cry each time.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Fred the Fruit Merchant]]
%%-> needs quote
The local fruit merchant of Honeywood. He is constantly in the position of being close to needing to sell his children to avoid starvation.
* AdamSmithHatesYourGuts: He is forced to buy items he doesn't need from players, despite not having enough to support his family.
* ChewToy: Like Eugene, but more caused by player actions than how he is programmed. Players force-sell him items he doesn't need at inflated prices and rob his chest left out in the wilderness.
* DontYouDarePityMe: As the muggers found out, this is one of Fred's BerserkButton. Fred is more ''insulted'' that the muggers gave him money to fix his cart and get his life on track, thinking that he was that so pathetic that the muggers would rather show him kindness than rob him blind.
* VideoGameCrueltyPunishment: While Fred (somewhat) is perfectly fine getting abused verbally and mentally, but hitting him physically? [[BerserkButton He will get instantly mad]] and whip out a {{BFS}} to turn the schmuck into LudicrousGibs with just [[OneHitKill one swipe.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Town Guard]]
-> For the peace of the kingdom!
-> For the King!
-> For the Alliance!
-> For king and country!
[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The town guard]] of Honeywood. More guards appear as required.
* ArtificialStupidity: He's [[TisOnlyABulletInTheBrain taken an arrow to the head]] (and [[FailedASpotCheck not even noticed]]), been killed by an Assassin whilst distracted, and [[ConspicuouslySelectivePerception had a bucket put on his head]] so a player could steal from the shop, [[ImpossibleThief has his uniform stolen off him]], and wound up in the town lake for one episode.
* BrokenRecord: More and less than Baelin; Baelin speaks his single line when he walks past Greg's shop every few minutes, but the guard speaks one of his four lines every few seconds.
* ConspicuouslySelectivePerception: The guard is killed in "Assassin" because he concentrates on the stone being thrown, despite Greg noticing the assassin and trying to tell him.
* DisproportionateRetribution: If a player kicks a chicken, or defends himself from bandits in front of the guard, they will be horribly killed.
* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy:
** "Perception": A guard investigates the murder of one of their comrades, only to holler out [[BrokenRecord repeatedly]] "What could have done this?!"
** "Persuade": A group of guards attempt to arrest a player for her numerous crimes. They set her free when she simply convinces them that [[BlatantLies she didn't do it]]... ''only to let her murder one of their comrades.''
* ImprobablePowerDiscrepancy: In "Over Powered", a guard congratulates the adventurer for defeating the troll, as the guards were not strong enough to defeat him, but the adventurer was. When the adventurer accidentally kicks a chicken, the guard kills the adventurer in a single attack.

[[folder:The Muggers]]
-> "What are we?"
-> "We’re Muggers."
-> "And what do muggers do?"
-> "They mug people."
-> "So...Let’s go mug ‘em!"
Bernard and Charles, the Honeywood muggers. Both are fairly stupid, though Charles does have moments of brilliance, albeit rather short moments.
* ArtificialBrilliance: Charles also has this (occasionally); but Bernard, has more charisma points.
* BullyingADragon: Bernard always tries to assault targets that are much more powerful than themselves, while Charles tends to fail to talk him out of it. In one episode, they even try to mug a ''literal'' dragon.
* GrewBeyondTheirProgramming: Charles appears to attempt this when the circumstance is stupid enough, but is eventually reset by Bernard with a "Hey! What are we?!" He also notices when a dialogue loop happens, but is again unable to break out of it.
* IgnoredEpiphany: In "Vikings", they are robbed by the titular Vikings -- two of whom had distracted the pair with a polite conversation that described the very method that was used on the pair, as a third snuck up and stole their stuff -- and thus realise, for the first time in their lives, the sort of feeling that they've given their own victims. To cheer themselves up, they decide to mug [[TheChewToy Eugene]].
* SuicidalOverconfidence: The muggers can't resist trying to mug people, even high-level players who can kill them in an instant. Or dragons. Or, on one bizarrely successful instance, a wheelbarrow.
* TeamRocketWins: The muggers finally get a successful robbery when they decide to mug a wagon. (It should be noted that they were not mugging a driver, but the wagon, the inanimate object, itself.)
[[/folder]]
[[folder:High Sorcerer Baradun]]
-> Portal away!
The questgiver for the main storyline, concerning the entire realm of Azerim (i.e. not just Honeywood). Is completely aware that he is a video game character, but mostly uses this knowledge to be a dick to Greg.
* {{Jerkass}}: He never misses a chance to be condescending about Greg and Honeywood.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Isaac]]
--> ''[flatly]'' It's heartbreaking knowing what has happened to the women and children. They truly are suffering in these dark times.
Bodger's friend. The developers didn't hire a talented voice actor for him.
* DullSurprise: He sleepwalks his way through any video he appears in, no matter how dramatic the situation.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Darkwood]]
-->Good evening! Glorious night for fishing, wouldn't you say? [[EvilLaugh Muhuhu... muhuhahaha!]]
Darkwood is another village down the road from Honeywood. It's similar to Honeywood, but dark.
* BrainsEvilBrawnGood: [[EvilCounterpart Darkwood!Baelin]] speaks in a noticeably more sophisticated manner.
* CutAndPasteEnvironments: As the adventurer completes her final quest in Honeywood, Greg warns her to stay away from a dark evil town named Darkwood found up in the north. She then takes a time-lapsed journey to "Darkwood",... which just ends up being Honeywood with a dark fog filter applied to the camera. She then has a brief encounter with an "evil" version of Greg (who offers her a virtually identical quest) as well as Darkwood!Baelin.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Honeywood's EvilTwin settlement is "a dark, evil town named Darkwood, where darkness reigns".
* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: The Darkwood!Greg. Despite being supposedly evil, his evil actions are limited to a Machiavellian laugh; beyond that, he is no different from Greg.

* NoSell: In "Overpowered from Side Quests", he ignores the main quest and get powerful gear from side quests. When he decides to get back to the main story, the thieves guild leader can't even scratch him. Even a bomb blowing up in front of him does nothing.
