! The Holy Church of Orius

[[folder: Orius]]
The being worshipped as god by the Church of Orius and the Hallowed Sentinels.

* GoodCounterpart: Is styled as one compared to the Demon God Adyr. Though calling Orius good might be a stretch ...
* TheGhost: Probably due to his nature as a God but Orius is never seen directly in the game itself. [[spoiler: The radiant light seen in the ''Radiant Ending'' that obliterates the Lampbearer might actually be him or at least a manifestation of him.]]
[[/folder]]

!! Dark Crusaders
[[folder: Exacter Dunmire]]

An experienced Exacter of the Holy Church of Orius who was sent by the Council of Overseers to Mournstead to lead his fellow Dark Crusaders against Adyr's forces and to investigate the corruption of the Hallowed Sentinels in order to find proof of their suspected heresy.
----
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: His interest in the Umbral Realm and search for knowledge ultimately lead to his downfall. [[spoiler:While he manages to find the knowledge he seeks and meet the Putrid Mother, his encounter with her drives him insane. Once the player reaches him in the Mother's Lull he has already turned into a mad shell of his former self.]]
* TheLeader: This appears to be his role as an Exacter to his fellow Dark Crusaders, guiding them on their mission. Also he is the one that bestows the boon upon the protagonist in the intro and gives hints on where to go next at the beginning of the game.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Paladin Isaac]]

A Paladin of the Dark Crusaders and the Lampbearer in the Opening Cinematic. He was sent to Mournstead alongside Exacter Dunmire and Harrower Dervla to stop the Rhogar Invasion. Unfortunately, he was not able to carry out his mission as he met his end at the hands of the Lightreaper, though not before tossing his lamp into nearby cave where it would resurrect the protagonist.
----
* LegacyCharacter: He was the last Lampbearer sent to Mournstead before the events of the game and bestows his role and mission upon the protagonist in his final moments.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Harrower Dervla, The Pledged Knight]]

->"Another unfortunate made a slave to unceasing hunger. I pity you. But as bleak as this refuge may be, it is our refuge nonetheless..."

A former high-ranking Dark Crusader who came to Mournstead alongside Exacter Dunmire and Paladin Isaac but eventually betrayed their mission. Dunmire tasks the Lampbearer with finding her and bringing her to justice for her betrayal. [[spoiler: Her motives, however, turn out to be more complicated than Dunmire makes them appear.]]
----
* FallenHero: At least from the perspective of her fellow Dark Crusaders. The once pledged knight became increasingly disillusioned, plagued by doubt and regret over her choices and the cause of the Dark Crusaders as a whole. When she finally discovered a new purpose after meeting the Child Martyr in the depths of the Sunless Skein, she left her mission and faith behind and instead made a promise to always protect the boy, even from her former comrades.

!! The Hallowed Sentinels
[[folder: Judge Cleric, the Radiant Sentinel]]
!! Judge Cleric, the Radiant Sentinel / [[spoiler: Iselle]]

->'"I will incinerate your soul with holy fire for this profanation... lowly blasphemer!"

One of the three Judges that banished Adyr and the leader of the Hallowed Sentinels. [[spoiler: A long time ago, she was Iselle, a devote follower of Adyr before she turned against him.]]
----
* ClimaxBoss: She is heavily built up throughout the game as the demigod-like leader of one of the game's largest factions and one that was strong enough to help imprison the demon god Adyr. Once the player finally encounters her in battle she definitely lives up to that description.
* FinalBoss: Of the game's ''Inferno Ending''.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Pieta, She of Blessed Renewal]]
!! Pieta, She of Blessed Renewal / [[spoiler: Elianne, The Starved]]

-> "Oh, Holy Orius by your Radiance grant me the strength to continue to endure all these dark days, to lay bare the path to salvation for my wayward brothers and sisters so we may walk it together and to strike down all those who would see our will defied."

Pieta is the first Colossal Boss of the game that stands in the player's way right before reaching the hub area. After being defeated she is reborn and acts as an NPC that upgrades the player's healing item.
----
* TheAce: The girl who was named Pieta after being found in an orphanage by the Hallowed Sentinels turned out to have incredible powers both as a healer and as a warrior that instilled hope in her comrades during their fight against the Rhogar. Due to her powers and her angelic appearance with four wings she was styled as a herald of the light and it was told she was born directly of Orius' holy light itself. [[spoiler: Her real origins and reason for existence are eventually revealed to be far more sinister.]]
* WakeupCallBoss: Pieta is the first major boss of the game that needs to be defeated in order to progress and proves to be far more of a challenge than anything before her. While her moves are fairly predictable, she has a variety of attacks and spells and more than one phase. As the protagonist is not very strong at this point in the game, this fight is a good skill check that forces the player to really learn her patterns.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: The Hushed Saint]]
!! The Hushed Saint / Saint Latimer

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Tancred, Master of Castigations]]
!! Tancred, Master of Castigations & Reinhold the Immured

A pair of high-ranking Hallowed Sentinels who are encountered as a boss in the lowest level of the Tower of Penance.
----
* SharingABody: While it initially seems that they are just one person with a split personality, item descriptions in the game imply that Tancred and Reinhold are actual brothers that share the same body, somehow.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Abbess Ursula]]

Abbess Ursula is the Mother Superior of the Abbey of the Hallowed Sisters. She is fought as a boss at the entrance of said area and surves as an introduction to that enemy type for the player.
[[/folder]]

! Rhogar Forces
[[folder: Adyr]]
!!Adyr, the Tyrant Demon God/[[spoiler: Adyr, Bereft Exile]]

-> "And now, after all the time mankind have had to shape their own destiny, see what they have made of it: war, greed, hatred, suffering, chaos... They believed they were capable of guiding themselves, but have been proven sorely mistaken. Mankind needs me, now more than ever."

The ancient ruler of Mournstead, imprisoned long ago by the Judges. He has sent his demonic hordes to the land for the purpose of corrupting the beacons that keep him bound so that he may rule over humanity once again.
----
* BigBad: The ruler of the demonic forces the Lampbearer must face across the game.
* CutsceneBoss: He is built up throughout both games as the main antagonist and a powerful demon god [[spoiler: but once the player actually faces him at the end, not only are you fighting his slaves instead who are more of a hassle than anything else, he himself is easily defeated in a cutscene afterwards.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler: The Lightreaper was created by stealing an Umbral parasite and creating a Rhogar around it. Despite the necessity of such an action, Adyr clearly is unhappy with utilizing anything Umbral to accomplish goals. Considering what happens in the Umbral ending, this is not without reason.]]
* GodOfEvil: Certainly painted as this, being called a "tyrant demon god" by the game's opening narration. [[spoiler: The truth may be a bit more complicated.]]
* FinalBoss: Of the game's default path, being necessary for the ''Radiant'' ending.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: The Lightreaper]]

-> "Give me that lamp!"

A particularly hideous and dangerous Rhogar riding a winged dragon-like creature that hunts the Lampbearers.
----
* TheDragon: Is this to Adyr and the Rhogar Invasion as the most dangerous foe for the Lampbearer that ambushes the protagonist repeatedly throughout his journey. He evens rides a three-headed dragon-like creature that spits fire.
* {{Expy}}: Of the Nazgûl from ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings''. His design is very reminiscent of the ringwraiths, he is the top enforcer of an evil overlord and even rides a dragon-like creature.

[[folder: Spurned Progeny]]
[[/folder]]


! Umbral Denizens
[[folder: Molhu]]

An old Nohuta High Priest residing in Skyrest Bridge that acts as a merchant for everything that is Umbral-related as well as Boss items. As a being of Umbral he can only be seen and interacted with in the Umbral Realm.
----
* AffablyEvil: He appears to be a gentle old creature and supports the Lampbearer in his quest [[spoiler: but in reality he is a devote follower of the Putrid Mother who wants the protagonist's help in tearing down the veil that separates the living realm from Umbral and by doing so [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt dooming the entire living world]]. Additionally, there is his involvement in Elianne's creation and the countless human experiments he conducted that resulted in many deaths.]]
* LastOfHisKind: He is the last known member of an ancient race called the 'Nohuta'.
* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler: Most of his role is directly tied to the ''Umbral Ending'' and the mysterious origins of Pieta.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder: The Putrid Mother]]

An absolutely nightmarish abomination hidden deep in the Umbral realm, the Putrid Mother is the main figurehead of the Umbral ending.
----
* EldritchAbomination: ''Oh yes.'' She can best be described as an absolutely titanic mass of eyes and maws.
* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: The Umbral ending consists of Axiom and Umbral being merged, and it's implied that she consumes everything afterwards.
* SealedEvilInACan: Hidden away behind a well that leads into the deepest parts of the Umbral realm.

[[/folder]]


[[folder: The Child Martyr]]
!! The Child Martyr / [[spoiler: The Unbroken Promise]]
A boy who has a particularly strong connection to the Umbral Realm and Umbral Magic. Because of this he is subjected to various experiments by the Hallowed Sentinels, imprisoned in the deepest parts of the Revelations Depths and forced to act as a sort of human seal to prevent the Putrid Mother from crossing over into the mortal realm of Axiom.
----

* {{Expy}}: He is a very clear reference to Prince Lothric from VideoGame/DarkSoulsIII. Both are bound to a horrible fate they never wanted by external forces, both are physically weak but skilled in using magic and both revive the knight that is protecting them to become the second phase of their boss fights.

* TheChosenOne: Believed to be so by many of the NPCs, often citing that the Umbral Lamp chose them for a reason.

* TheGhost: This might be due to his nature as a God but Orius is never seen directly in the game itself. [[spoiler: The radiant light seen in the ''Radiant Ending'' that obliterates the Lampbearer might actually be him or at least a manifestation of him.]]

An experienced Exactor of the Holy Church of Orius who was sent by the Council of Overseers to Mournstead to lead his fellow Dark Crusaders against Adyr's forces and to investigate the corruption of the Hallowed Sentinels in order to find proof of their suspected heresy.

* TheLeader: This appears to be his role as an Exactor to his fellow Dark Crusaders, guiding them on their mission. Also he is the one that bestows the boon upon the protagonist in the intro and gives hints on where to go next at the beginning of the game.

* GodOfEvil: Certainly painted as this, being called a "tyrant demon god" by the game's opening narration.

* ImDyingPleaseTakeMyMacGuffin: The Lampbearer did not find the Umbral Lamp themselves. Rather, it was thrown into the Bowles of the Defiled Sepulchre by a previous Dark Crusader who was then killed and decapitated by the 4-armed DragonRider, with the Bearer awakening at the Lamp's resting place, apparently summoned there by it as a worthy holder of its power.
