History Characters / MARDEK

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: The tune he sings in the above exchange has the same melody as the background music of the scenes in which the GdM are discussing anything.

* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: While at first he is relatively benign, he begins to show more and more signs of this in Chapter 3. [[spoiler:Despite the amount of destruction and instability he's caused by removing the crystals, he considers it morally just if it means destroying evil. He shrugs off any and all talk of balance by Clavis,

* DidNotGetTheGirl: Emela [[ButNowIMustGo leaves]] at the end of Chapter 2, and [[spoiler:the dreamstones of Chapter 3 reveal her falling in love with Deugan instead. Mardek's unaware of all of this, however, as he never directly interacts with either Emela or Deugan for the entirety of Chapter 3.]]

* GenreBlind: Unfortunately.

* To Vehrn, as well. Both are LawfulGood [[invoked]] Light-elemental characters that wield a sword and shield, both bring good and justice to the world at the whims of their respective authority figures, but while Vehrn has an inflated ego because he was raised to believe in a HolierThanThou worldview, Mardek is a HumbleHero who likes to befriend people, and sorta goes along with whoever guides him.

** Deena, the blue soul, is LawfulGood. She was one of Gloria's predecessors as Shaman of Canonia. She's very wise and helpful. [[invoked]]
** Baron Von Doomkill is LawfulEvil. He was a [[VillainOfAnotherStory villain who sought to collect the elemental crystals and use their power to take over the world]], but was stopped in the past.
** Miserable Ol' Martin [[spoiler:whose real name is Eric]] is ChaoticNeutral, just wanting to be alone to suffer his depression. [[invoked]]
** Bostolm is ChaoticNeutral. He [[spoiler:was once a YALORTian priest,]] is now insane, and only cares about annihilating Pixies.

* NamesTheSame: No, not ''that'' [[VideoGame/MassEffect2 Legion]], but they are rather similar (mechanical beings that hosts multiple beings/programs).

* [[spoiler:BlackAndWhiteInsanity: [[AntiVillain Qualna]] calls him out on it, but [[KnightTemplar he does not care to listen]].]]

* {{Foil}}: To Mardek, as well as Moric and Qualna.
* [[spoiler:GoodPowersBadPeople: For a guy whose title is "The Healer," he's quite nonchalant about the idea of [[AndIMustScream trapping his former friends' souls for all eternity]].]]

* [[spoiler:JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope]]: In chapter 3.
* [[spoiler:KnightTemplar]]: [[spoiler:[[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans No cost is too great for Rohoph]] if it means stopping the Governance de Magi.]]

* [[spoiler:LightIsNotGood]]
* [[spoiler:ManipulativeBastard]]
* TheMedic

* TheSmartGuy
* [[spoiler:TomatoInTheMirror: Contrary to what he believes, he was not immune to the Violet Crystal's effects.]]
* [[spoiler:UnreliableExpositor: A lot of both the characters' and the audience's information about the situation with the [=GdM=] comes from him, on the rare occasions when he feels like explaining things. Which, consequently, becomes increasingly suspect as the {{reveal}}s roll around about his deeper personality and history.]]
* [[spoiler:VillainProtagonist]]: Arguably.
* WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler: Qualna calls him out on some of the questionable things he does in chapter 3.]]

[[folder:The Heroes]]

Where would we be without our protagonists? This folder lists all playable party members.

* BettyAndVeronica: To Emela's Archie. He's the [[NiceGuy sweet]], [[KnightInShiningArmor valorous]] Betty to Steele's [[JerkAss aggressive]], [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] Veronica. [[spoiler: Chapter 3 [[ShipSinking puts an end to this]], though.]]
* CharacterAlignment: LawfulGood. [[invoked]]

* CombatMedic: He's primarily a StoneWall and straight-up [[TheMedic Medic]] in Chapter 2, but graduates to this in Chapter 3 after he starts picking up some {{Spellblade}} abilities.
* DidNotGetTheGirl: Emela [[ButNowIMustGo leaves]] at the end of Chapter 2, and [[spoiler: the events of Chapter 3 have her falling in love with Deugan instead. Mardek's unaware of all of this, however, as he never directly interacts with either Emela or Deugan for the entirety of Chapter 3.]]

* EvenTheGuysWantHim: He has this effect on some [=NPCs=].
* {{Foil}}: To Rohoph.

* TheHero: But of course. His role in both storyline and battles is greatly subverted, however, as he's a quiet, submissive, "leaf-in-a-river" type of person instead of a HotBlooded leader-esque one. He's also TheMedic instead of a fighter or JackOfAllStats like in most Eastern [=RPGs=].

* KindheartedSimpleton
* InfinityPlusOneSword: In Chapter 2 (Where he's the only one who has one) it's the Champion Sword, obtained by completing the Cambria Tournament. In Chapter 3, it's the Champion Sword II, obtained by doing the same thing, [[RecycledINSPACE but in Chapter 3]]. M Blade at the start of chapter 1

* LightEmUp

* TheMedic: He becomes more of a MagicKnight from chapter 3 onward, however.
* MightyGlacier: Mardek tends to be the slowest member of your party, but by the end of Chapter 2, he can really dish out damage. He can really absorb the hits too. Becomes even more so this during Chapter 3, as with a Dark sword, Soulstrike (for Light), and the elemental slashes, Mardek can strike every elemental weakness that isn't Aether or Fig.

* NiceGuy
* [[NiceHat Nice Helmet]]: Complete with an "M!" emblazoned on the front, it's almost humorously cheesy. Then you realize that he [[FridgeBrilliance uses it to hide]] [[MindControlEyes the glow in his eyes that appears whenever Rohoph takes over.]] [[spoiler:As well as mysterious sores, according to Elwyen's dreamstone.]]

* ThePaladin: In Chapter 2. He's more of a MagicKnight in Chapter 3.
* PowerDegeneration: [[spoiler: If Elwyen's dreamstone is right, it's possible that Rohoph's possession is killing him]]
* SecretLegacy: [[spoiler: It very heavily implied that Mardek's father isn't from Belfan]]
* SharingABody: With Rohoph. [[spoiler: Elwyen's dreamstone in Chapter 3 implies that it may be adversely affecting him.]]

* StoneWall: In Chapter 2. He gets good armor and has excellent stats, but his complete lack of attacking skills (and the fact that he's the party's only medic) means he won't be contributing much on the "killing people" side of things. This changes in Chapter 3, where he becomes a MagicKnight and CombatMedic instead.
* SupportingProtagonist: Played with. The other characters do follow him and he is usually at the center of the plot, but he has a carefree, docile personality, and usually just does what other people (especially Rohoph) tell him to do, despite being technically being the leading man.
* SwordAndSorcerer: He's the Sword to Emela's (In Chapter 2) and Elywen's (In Chapter 3) Sorcerers.
* [[TouchedByVorlons Touched By Annunaki]]

* WeaponOfChoice: A CoolSword.

->Mardek's best friend, an 'adventuring partner'. Together, the two boys aspire to be Grand Adventurers like their hero Social Fox, going on adventures and saving people from dragons and such. Joining the Guard is the closest they've ever got to becoming mighty respected heroes who help people. Deugan's more level-headed and analytical than his friend, and tends to take things more seriously. Though he can be slightly exasperated by Mardek's dim-witted, carefree brashness at times, he's still very loyal to him and values their friendship deeply.

* BettyAndVeronica: Fits the Betty more when it comes to Emela. They are hinted at liking each other while Mardek is mostly oblivious.
* CharacterAlignment: NeutralGood. [[invoked]]
* DishingOutDirt
* [[DumbBlonde Dumb Blond]]: Inverted. Deugan's the blonde, but Mardek is the dumb one of their duo.

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:At the end of chapter 2, he holds off the Dracelon, allowing Mardek to escape. Chapter 3 reveals that [[NotQuiteDead he didn't die]], however.]]
* HeroOfAnotherStory: [[spoiler: As Lone Wolf]]
* {{Foil}}: To Mardek. They're as different as can be
* TheLancer: Played with. Mardek is the main character and the WeirdnessMagnet but it's stated during Chapter 2 that Deugan's the one making the decisions and Mardek is just following Deugan and Rohoph.

* MagicKnight: To contrast with Mardek's [[LightEmUp holy-]][[HealingHands elemental]] abilities, Deugan learns a variety of [[ElementalPowers Natural-Elemental]] {{Spellblade}}-based techniques.

* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:''Subverted'', amazingly. Although he survives his HeroicSacrifice, he is reluctant to return due to various reasons, and instead decides to adopt the new persona of "Lone Wolf". So in a way Deugan ''[[ThatManIsDead does]]'' [[ThatManIsDead die]], but is "reborn" as Lone Wolf.]]
* ThatManIsDead: [[spoiler:See NotQuiteDead, above.]]
* TwiceShy: [[spoiler: Emela and Duegan are painfully shy around each other. Chapter 2 has them communicate their crushes to Mardek despite being in the same party. Chapter 3 has them very slowly fall in love]]

* ArmorAndMagicDontMix: [[GameplayAndStorySegregation Despite the fact that each and every one of her sprites sports a set of armor.]]

* [[spoiler:BlessedWithSuck]]: [[spoiler:Her duties as a guardian of the water temple. The upside? She gets magical powers and can summon a magical war-steed-thing to fight along side her. The downside? She has to live in a secluded monster-filled temple at the bottom of a lake, cut off from society. Who needs to stay there even after the Water Crystal is taken, with nothing to guard and a much dirtier temple left behind.]]
* CharacterAlignment: LawfulNeutral. [[invoked]]
* TheChick: In Chapter 2.
* ElementalPowers: Can learn four basic Natural Elemental (Fire/Water/Earth/Air) spells.
* FlorenceNightingaleEffect: [[spoiler: Though they share ShipTease earlier, Emela and Deugan fall in love when she patches him up after Chapter 2.]]
* HeroesWantRedheads
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://web.archive.org/web/20170909171547/http://www.fighunter.com/music/game/m/Emela.mid Emela]]

* MysteriousPast: She does a piss-poor job of hiding the fact that she has one. [[spoiler: Chapter 3 reveals that she's the water guardian.]]

* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: She despises [[NominalHero Steele]] and gets a ''lot'' of ShipTease with both [[NiceGuy Mardek]] and [[KnightInShiningArmor Deugan]].

* [[spoiler:VoiceOfTheLegion: She gains this when performing her duty as the Water Guardian.]]
* WeaponOfChoice: A [[MagicWand wand]].

* CripplingOverspecialization: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] in Chapter 2, where he's often more useful than Zach because of his primarily undead-countering skillset. Almost everything past the halfway point in Chapter 2 is undead-focused, including most of the bosses.

* [[spoiler:DoorstopBaby]]: [[spoiler:He was abandoned on the steps of the Yalortian Monastary in Aeropolis.]]
* TheFundamentalist: Parodied.

* HolierThanThou: A ''big'' part of his personality; at least he's fairly well-meaning.
* IdiotHero

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://web.archive.org/web/20170909184050/http://www.fighunter.com/music/game/m/Vehrn.mid Vehrn]]
* LightEmUp
* MagicKnight
* OptionalPartyMember: You can choose to straight ignore him in Chapter 2 if you want. [[AvertedTrope Averted]] in Chapter 3.
* {{Pride}}

* AwesomeButImpractical: Given that the majority of major enemies in Chapter 2 are undead, including ''all bosses'' from the point you can recruit him, Vehrn tends to be much more useful.

* CharacterAlignment: LawfulNeutral. [[invoked]]

* [[spoiler:JadeColoredGlasses: Becomes jaded as more and more of his employers treat him as a weapon. Mardek is his only employer who has treated him as a person so far!]]
* JerkAss: Somewhat. His reply to meeting you again in Chapter 3? [[spoiler: Offer up his services for ten times the original amount you paid in to recruit him in Chapter 2.]]

* MeaningfulName: His middle name, 'Ursus'. [[spoiler: He came from the Bear Tribe.]]

** [[spoiler:Ironically, it's this persecution that gets Zach where he is in the first place.]]

** [[PoorPredictableRock Poor Predictable Fire]]
* TheHero: His personality is not too far off from this, in fact, he's probably more fit for leadership than Mardek is, as shown by his excellent command of his fellow knights in the beginning Chapter 2.

* InfinityPlusOneSword: The Obelisk, obtained by returning all returning all 10 artefacts to the Aeropolis museum curator. Weirdly enough, the Obelish is also ''Sharla's'' InfinityPlusOneSword, which means only one of them can have it equipped at any one time.
* KnightInShiningArmor
* TheLeader: Especially in chapter 2, where he's the one giving orders to the other recruits

* LongHairedPrettyBoy

* PlayingWithFire

* [[spoiler:RoyalBlood]]
** [[spoiler:RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething]]
** [[spoiler:[[KingIncognito Prince Incognito]]]]
* SquishyWizard
* [[spoiler:WarriorPrince]]

* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: If you have Sharla in your party when facing the Mystery Man the first time, you get this exchange:

** Though her ship tease with Donovan averts this.

* BlowYouAway / ShockAndAwe

** [[PoorPredictableRock Poor Predictable Air]]
* FragileSpeedster: Is one of the fastest characters in the game and has an ability that ups agility. However, her low attack and the fact that the first map is a fire cave means that she has a hard time dealing damage early on. (And you'll stop using her after the dark temple)

* SquishyWizard

* BadassNormal: Like Zach, none of her skills use {{Mana}}.

* {{Foil}}: To Gloria, her best friend. Elwyen is a flighty, excitable girl, while Gloria's a mature young woman who's very much WiseBeyondHerYears. Their fighting styles are also counterpoint- Elwyen is a FragileSpeedster who specializes in [[StatusBuff StatusBuffs]], while Gloria is a MightyGlacier whose fighting style is a much more straight-forward CombatMedic. Their LoveInterests are also complete opposites- Elywen lusts after [[StupidGood Mardek]], while Gloria has a much more stable, mutual attraction with [[HumbleHero Meraeador]].

* HiddenDepths: Her dreamstone shows that she's much more perceptive and wise than she normally acts. She's one of the few people to understand Mardek's personality and the only one notice that [[spoiler: he's possibly secretly dying]].

* NoPronunciationGuide: Subverted. She tells you her name is pronounced "el-oo-ee-en" in one of her [[RelationshipValues P-dialogues.]]

* [[InvertedTrope Reverse]] WifeHusbandry: She tries to do this with Mardek. [[IdiotHero He's completely oblivious, of course]].

* SmallTownBoredom

* {{Stripperiffic}}

* ActionGirl

** Secondly, to [[spoiler: Steele. Gloria outright states that while he's a ChildByRape, and therefore a child borne of hate, she's a child borne to symbolize the love between her parents.]] In addition, their motivations for their actions are completely opposite- [[spoiler: Steele]] does what he does because he [[ItsAllAboutMe cares only for himself]], while Emela is sacrifice her own life and freedom to help others- [[MartyrWithoutACause even when it's not really necessary]].

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://fighunter.bandcamp.com/track/natures-maiden Nature's Maiden]]
* [[MayDecemberRomance May September Romance]]: Meraeador is 31. She's 17. However, due to being a shaman, she'll age much slower than Mereador, and she's also WiseBeyondHerYears

* [[spoiler:AccidentalMurder]]: [[spoiler: His parents, revealed in one of his [[RelationshipValues P-dialogues.]]]]

* [[spoiler:DrivenToSuicide]]: [[spoiler:He briefly considers this after "[[AccidentalMurder The Accident]]", though he is saved by Mardek and Deugan's friendship when they were little, after all the townsfolk hated and feared him for it.]]

* MadScientist: He is pretty close to this at times. In fact, he pretty much goes mad with ideas for inventions if you speak to him within the volcano.

* PlayingWithFire

* DefeatEqualsFriendship
* DishingOutDirt: Earth element.

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://fighunter.bandcamp.com/track/sslenck Sslen'ck]]

* PlayingWithFire: Uses a couple of Fire-elemental attacks to supplement his Physical skills.
%%* ProudWarriorRaceGuy

%%* WeaponOfChoice: A [[AnAxeToGrind greataxe]].

* BadassAdorable

* GlassCannon: To the extreme. Xe has, hands down, the best skillset in the game (chapter 3's only resurrection spell and offensive light spell, among others), but combines this with absolutely atrocious stats. Xe has extremely low health and very limited equipment, meaning that xe keels over if the enemy so much as pokes xem.

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://fighunter.bandcamp.com/track/solaar Solaar]]
* LightEmUp
* MagikarpPower: Xe has abysmal Vitality, turning xim into a GlassCannon with too much emphasis on the "glass" part to be very useful. However, if you give xim equipment that boosts Vitality (the Green Stole + 6, in particular), xyr HP is raised enough to make xim and xyr amazing skills useable.
* TheMedic: Fills this role after Mardek graduates to MagicKnight. His healing power by defaults heals the whole party and he's the only party member with a resurrection spell.

* ThePowerOfTheSun: If the [[MeaningfulName name]] wasn't a clue

** This is lampshaded if you talk to xim in Goznor.

%%* MightyGlacier

* SpeechImpediment: Doomkill apparently has issues pronouncing '-er'. So you get lines from him which are along the lines of, "Powah! Unlimited powah! Cowah beneath the might of Baron von Doomkill!"

* BattleThemeMusic: [[https://fighunter.bandcamp.com/track/muriance-battle Muriance Battle]]
* BlowYouAway / ShockAndAwe
* CardCarryingVillain

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://fighunter.bandcamp.com/track/muriance Muriance's Theme]]
* MeaningfulName: We've yet to see how meaningful it is, but [[spoiler: his middle name, Pharezos, is an anagram of Zaephros. As in, the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Zaephros The Chaosbringer]] mentioned in Solaar's dreamstone.]]

* BloodKnight: He didn't join the Goznor Royal Guard for the good of others,
* CastingAShadow
* CharacterAlignment: ChaoticEvil. [[invoked]]
* [[spoiler:ChildByRape]]

* DisproportionateRetribution: [[spoiler:After Emela injures him with a lightning bolt, Steele promptly decides to plot how to kidnap and rape her.]]
* EyepatchOfPower

* [[spoiler:FaceHeelTurn]]: [[spoiler:Though he wasn't much of a 'Face' to begin with...]]
* GoodOldFisticuffs
* HateSink: Apparently, he was created by the author to represent everything he hates.

* JerkJock

* [[spoiler:NinetiesAntiHero]]: [[spoiler:Steele was originally one big pot-shot at this sub-genre of hero. But then he [[NotQuiteDead "died"]] and came back as the Mysterious Man, embracing the role of a bad guy whole-heartedly.]]
* [[spoiler:NotQuiteDead]]

* CripplingOverspecialization: He has ''no'' magical skills. At all. He only has a single attack that uses Mana, and at very generous rate. [[CompletelyMissingThePoint But he has a cool double sword.]]

* {{Adorkable}}
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Inverted. She despises [[NominalHero Steele]] and gets a ''lot'' of ShipTease with both [[NiceGuy Mardek]] and [[KnightInShiningArmor Deugan]].

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[http://www.fighunter.com/?page=music2&m=235 Emela]]

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[http://www.fighunter.com/?page=music2&m=231 Vehrn]]

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[http://www.fighunter.com/?page=music2&m=232 Zach]]. Notable for how it is also slightly similar to [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI Shadow's theme.]]

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[http://www.fighunter.com/?page=music2&m=251 Duet]], shared with Sharla.

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[http://www.fighunter.com/?page=music2&m=251 Duet]], shared with Donovan.

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[http://www.fighunter.com/?page=music2&m=249 Siren Song]]

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[http://www.fighunter.com/?page=music2&m=250 Nature's Maiden]]

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[http://www.fighunter.com/?page=music2&m=271 The Inventor.]]

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[http://www.fighunter.com/?page=music2&m=239 Sslen'ck]]

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[http://www.fighunter.com/?page=music2&m=242 Solaar]]

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[http://www.fighunter.com/?page=music2&m=253 Legion]]

* BattleThemeMusic: [[http://www.fighunter.com/?page=music2&m=58 Muriance Battle]]

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[http://www.fighunter.com/?page=music2&m=57 Muriance's Theme]]

* BattleThemeMusic: [[http://www.fighunter.com/?page=music2&m=244 "Bring It!"]]

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[http://www.fighunter.com/?page=music2&m=243 Pugnacious Ruffian.]] Notable in that it uses instruments and techniques that the author dislikes, due to the fact that he hates Steele's character as well.

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[http://www.fighunter.com/?page=music2&m=252 Saul.]] And it fits him perfectly, to boot.

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[http://www.fighunter.com/?page=music2&m=61 Worlds' Saviours]]

* BattleThemeMusic: [[http://www.fighunter.com/?page=music2&m=65 GdM Battle]]

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[http://www.fighunter.com/?page=music2&m=52 Governance de Magi]]

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[http://www.fighunter.com/?page=music2&m=51 Rohoph's Theme]]

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[http://www.fighunter.com/?page=music2&m=49 Enki's Theme]]

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[http://www.fighunter.com/?page=music2&m=266 Clavis]]

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[spoiler:[[http://www.fighunter.com/?page=music2&m=254 Lone Wolf]]]], one of THE best character themes ever.

[[quoteright:111:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/RohophHead0_9877.png]]

* EvilAlbino: He appears to be one, as his irises appear to be some shade of off-white.

* PurpleEyes

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[spoiler:[[http://www.fighunter.com/?page=music2&m=254 Lone Wolf]]]], [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic one of THE best character themes ever]].

* [[spoiler:DrivenToSuicide]]: [[spoiler:He briefly considers this after "[[AccidentalMurder The Accident]]", though [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments he is saved by Mardek and Deugan's friendship when they were little]], after all the townsfolk hated and feared him for it.]]

** Also lampshaded in the description for the Flamethrower. "Mwahaha! [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Meraeador's such a pacifist]]."

--->'''Solaar''': [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Even I don't know what I meaned by that one]].

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[http://www.fighunter.com/?page=music2&m=252 Saul.]] [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic And it fits him perfectly, to boot.]]

* InfinityPlusOneSword: In Chapter 2 (Where he's the only one who has one) it's the Champion Sword, obtained by completing the Cambria Tournament. In Chapter 3, it's the Champion Sword II, obtained by doing the same thing, [[RecycledINSPACE but in Chapter 3]].

** Might even be a Villain in Name Only, seeing how his only "villainous" deeds were [[spoiler:possessing the king to influence Rohph instead of confronting him outright]]. And considering what happens in the end, he seems to have been well justified in doing so.

* SubmissiveBadass: Tends to follow what other people say rather than choose his own path.

* DarkIsEdgy

* DarkIsEdgy: He's able to use magic from other elements as well, however.

* DarkIsEdgy

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[spoiler:[[http://www.fighunter.com/?page=music2&m=254 Lone Wolf]]]], [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome one of THE best character themes ever]].

* [[spoiler:DrivenToSuicide]]: [[spoiler:He briefly considers this after "[[AccidentalMurder The Accident]]", though [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming he is saved by Mardek and Deugan's friendship when they were little]], after all the townsfolk hated and feared him for it.]]

** Also lampshaded in the description for the Flamethrower. "Mwahaha! [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Meraeador's such a pacifist]]."

--->'''Solaar''': [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Even I don't know what I meaned by that one]].

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[http://www.fighunter.com/?page=music2&m=252 Saul.]] [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome And it fits him perfectly, to boot.]]

* Expy: Of Moric, mainly due to both being necromancers.

* FourthWallObserver: Among other things: he's aware that new P-dialog is unlocked as people level up, he's unsure how to pronounce "Elwyen" properly ''despite having said her name'' (because he speaks in text, y'see), and at one point he notices that the music has changed (unless the sound his off, in which case he'll note that instead).

** KindheartedSimpleton

* FourthWallObserver: Among other things: he's aware that new P-dialog is unlocked as people level up, he's unsure how to pronounce "Elwyen" properly ''despite having said her name'' (because he speaks in text, y'see), and at one point he notices that the music has changed (unless [[TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything the sound his off]], in which case he'll note that instead).

Solaar is first encountered, wounded, in the dark temple, in front of the chamber to the dark crystal. Xe challenged the Mystery Man to protect the crystal, but lost. Xe is then healed by Mardek - [[TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything or Sharla, if she has learned Healing Wind]] - and joins the party to defeat the Mystery Man and find the other crystals under King Gonoroth's orders. [[spoiler:Later, it's revealed by the Dreamstone #13 that Solaar isn't actually the guardian of the crystal; instead, xe is a Runare from a planet called Kalhu, and xe was sent to Belfan by Chieftain Eraluf of the Runare to guard the dark crystal from an evil - Zaephros the Chaosbringer - that has just been seen to steal Belfan's dark crystal by the Runari Seer.]]

* GoodIsNotNice: Gloria might be the OnlySaneMan but she has a ruthless streak. She smiled finding out that Steele is dead (though she is fully justified) and she would rather see Saul's dungeon removed (though she quickly checks herself).

* LostForever: It's quite possible to be completely in the dark about his existence, and you can't recruit him in Chapter 2 once [[spoiler: you defeat Moric in The Catacombs.]]
