* OutlivingOnesOffspring: He had a son who died from a spiderbite prior to the start of the game.



* TragicKeepsake: Part of his starting inventory are two ''Lutka'', figurines representing a mouse's family. The one representing his son is sooted with ash, representing that his son is dead, while the one representing his wife is still white and clean.



* HiddenDepths: Fatale first comes across as just as much the thief as her brother, but as the game goes on she shows a different side to herself; she's awake at night out of guilt for something, and she proves to be quite the poet.

* PunchclockVillain: To the point where it's hard to consider him a villain. While he would gladly throw Tilo back into the cells, and even [[spoiler:tries to execute Silas]], he is a pretty good guy who's just doing his job with pride. Talking to him while carrying your lute will even have him strike up a conversation about his and Tilo's shared love of music.

* InsufferableGenius: Faustus is ''very'' full of himself, certain that he is the greatest chemist that ever lived... despite being stuck in the sewers under a place called "dwindling heights".

* GenericDoomsdayVillain: The Emerald Flame has no mind or personality. It merely exists to burn up all that is.

to:

* ObfuscatingInsanity: Possibly. He certainly acts nuts, but when you dress as a pirate and ask him about the wreck of his ship and what he and captain Powderkeg found on [[spoiler:Periclave]], he sobers up. Then again, he did at one point cook his own leg after being stranded for just a few hours, so he's a bit nuts.

Added DiffLines:

* HiddenInPlainSight: He's a constant presence throughout the game, but doesn't appear to be particularily important to the main plot, only there to offer maps and services at a fee. [[spoiler:At the end of the game, he becomes one of the most important [=NPCs=].]]

Added DiffLines:

* PaperThinDisguise: Some of Tilo's disguises are quite good, others are... not. In particular, his King disguise [[spoiler:fails to fool the only one it was meant for]], and he is way too short to be rat guard. Silas later reveals that everyone except for the Commander knows he's a mouse, but don't really care.

* TheAtoner: The reason he's helping Tilo. [[spoiler:Years prior, he was captain of the guard in Tilo's village. On the night Tilo's son was bitten by a spider, he had taken to the bottle and the guards wouldn't let Tilo and Merra into town without his approval. When he finally arrived, he tried to take the child to an apothecar himself, but was drunk and couldn't find the way.]]

Characters that appear in ''VideoGame/GhostOfATale''

!Mice
[[folder:Tilo]]
The hero of our tale. Tilo is a mouse minstrel who was asked to perform for a local rat baron, along with his wife. While Tilo agreed, Merra, his wife, refused, causing the baron to sepparate them and imprison Tilo in Duinlan Heights. He escapes at the beginning of the game, and goes on a quest to find Merra.
----
* TheDeterminator: Nothing will stop this little guy from reuniting with his beloved.
* WanderingMinstrel: Tilo is officially a minstrel who's performed throughout the kingdom.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Gusto & Fatale]]
A pair of thieves who were also dumped in Duinlan Heights, but escaped their cells around the same time as Tilo. They're now looking to escape the fort itself and travel to the city of Pesa, but they need some supplies for the trip, as well as some stuff to get past the guard.
----
* AtrociousAlias: Gusto first introduces himself as [=ShadowPhoenix=]. Fatale immediately reveals his real name.
* BrainsAndBrawn: With a bit of bickering regarding which one's which. They are both clever, but Gusto is the brawnier of them, and Tilo's song places Fatale as the brains of the operation (though she helped write it, so it might be a bit biased).
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Played with. They are both a bit goofy, but Gusto is more goal-oriented and less keen to trust strangers, while Fatale is open and immediately trusting to Tilo, as well as more willing to joke and have fun. Developments show that Fatale can be serious, though.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Farrow & Tamlin]]
A pair of mice rebels who were brought to Duinlan Heights on a prisoner transport. Tilo helps them escape in the hopes that they have heard news of his wife.
----

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Rezzia]]
The cook at Duinlan Heights. She recognizes Tilo as a mouse, but doesn't [[{{Pun}} rat]] him out, though she may ask for a favor from time to time.
----

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Merra]]
Tilo's wife, whom he was sepparated from before the story began. Her refusal to dance for the rat baron is what got them in this situation in the first place, though Tilo is desperate to find her again.
----

[[/folder]]

!Rats
[[folder:Silas]]
A soldier serving as lookout at Duinlan Heights, [[ReassignedToAntarctica reassigned there for some past failure]]. He helps Tilo escape and is a source of aid throughout the game, though his reasoning is kept mysterious...
----

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Rolo the Blacksmith]]
The blacksmith at Duinlan Heights. Rolo is one of the few rats in Duinlan Heights who aren't out to throw Tilo back in his cell. He offers various services and acts as a merchant, but takes a hefty price.
----

[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Commander]]
[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The commander]] of Duinlan Heights. A bit eccentric as he may be, he is still very proud of his position and will not tolerate prisoners who escape their cells.
----

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Faustus]]
An alchemist working in the sewers under Duinlan Heights. Though he works with the smugglers, he is mostly out for himself, hoping to make some great alchemical breakthrough.
----

The legendary hero for which the fort is named. They are a WalkingSpoiler.
----

[[/folder]]

!Other
[[folder:Kerold]]
A frog pirate who's stuck in the Duinlan Heights cells, not that he seems to mind. The first friendly NPC encountered in the game, he doesn't seem to be of much importance. Seems to, that is.
----

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Ravik]]
A magpie, proud and wise. Ravik and her kin covets knowledge of all kinds, but are a prideful bunch and will only accept the petitions of kings.
----

[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Emerald Flame (spoilers)]]
A mysterious, necromantic force of nature defeated by an alliance led by the rats in legendary days long before the start of the game.
