%%* DeathFromAbove

* [[AWizardDidIt A Druid Did It]]: How [[spoiler:he got his powers back]] in G3 goes totally unexplained, which is even more mind boggling since he goes right back to living up north afterward. [[AWizardDidIt Nao Did It? Morrighan Did It?]] Then again, [[spoiler: it he HAD been "resting" for quite a while. It's possible he COULD use magic, but doing so would destabilize his body. Again.]]

* PurpleEyes

* AGodIAmNot: They refuse Nuadha's offer of godhood in disgust in Generation 12. When they're asked if the Milletian considers themselves a God in Generation 20 you can answer however you want, though only outright refusal nets you any points.

* TheBattleDidntCount

* [[spoiler:TheDragon: of G9.]]
* [[spoiler:FaceHeelTurn]]
* [[spoiler:FallenHero]]

* [[spoiler:RedHerring: A scene midway through G9 implies Fallon saved your life from Tethra. The fact he was on the Fomor's side implies something much less virtuous.]]

* [[spoiler:TheUnfought]]

Goddess of Light, also known as "The Irinid", a spirit worshiped in Iria. Also the wife of Lugh Lavada, and mother of [[spoiler:Elatha and Triona.]] After witnessing the wars of Humans, Elves and Giants, she gives up on all races and makes it her goal to purge Tir Na Nog. In the long run, she often ends up unknowingly working for other villains, and [[spoiler: her powers are ultimately stolen by Nuadha in G12, leaving her on the brink of death.]] Her current state is unknown.

* BigBadWannabe: Girl just can't catch a break, Cichol and Tuan make a fool of her in G10 and G11 respectively, [[spoiler:and Nuadha finally finishes her in G12.]]

* HolyHandGrenade
* LightIsNotGood
* MamaBear: [[spoiler: Although she doesn't show it until after her son's death.]]

[[spoiler:He is actually the ancient Partholonian prince, and used the player's character to reawaken the Brionac so that he can ressurect his fallen race. He warns the player not to trust Morrighan, and indeed, her true colors begin to show after his defeat.]]

* BigBad: Of G11.
* TheChessmaster
* [[spoiler:CoolMask: His snake mask, which covers up DemBones.]]
* [[spoiler:DemBones: Just like all the other Python Soldiers]]

* [[spoiler:FisherKing: Jenna states that Tuan's grief is what created the shadow realm.]]
* ManipulativeBastard

Leader of the Corrupt Alchemists faction. He plays a small role in the beginning of Chapter 3, mostly taunting Jenna in shadow missions. [[spoiler:He was once good friends with Lennox.]] His role in Chapter 12 is somewhat larger; culminating in a large scale battle between the Royal and Corrupted alchemists.

* RivalTurnedEvil: [[spoiler:To Lennox]]

Shakespeare, also known as the Tragic Bard, lived during the time of Partholon, in the city of Avon. Being a seer, he foresaw the destruction of Partholon as the result of the [[spoiler:plague Morrighan and Cichol unleashed, for the Partholonian's abuse of the Caliburn.]] When he was unsuccessful in warning the Partholon, Shakespeare saved the children by luring them away with his Enthralling Performance. They went on to become the Tuatha de Danann.

* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler: He starts off the plot of G16 by falling squarely for Bella and Lugh Lavada's scheme by murdering the King.]]

->[[spoiler:What a nightmare... I remember it so clearly. The Milletians...they were all dead. Dead...by Bella's hand. This is war on the Milletians!]]

A strange girl introduced in G15 that Shakespeare meets just as he arrives on Erinn, the two spend three years together and fall in love during that time. Bella is suddenly torn from Shakespeare when a group of Fomors attack the two lovers and take Bella way, leaving Shakespeare to die. At the end of G15, [[spoiler: the player sees a bleak future, in which Bella murders them and Morrighan declares the extinction of the Milletian race.]]

Owen aids the player throughout G15 and G16, especially by providing [[spoiler:Princess Eirawen safe haven on Belvast, and leading the assault against Lugh Lavada.]]

* GlowingEyesOfDoom

->([[spoiler:Morgant, AKA, Lugh Lavada.]])

A young girl who lost her father to the demons attacking Cor village. She swears revenge on those who killed her father and demands that the Milletian help her become stronger. Later, she was taken in by Akule as his apprentice. His apparent death struck her badly, causing her lapse into rage against the world and shaking her trust in everyone. Comments made by Black Mask and the Black Dragon Knight indicate she may be worthy of being a new vessel for [[spoiler:Goddess Macha.]]

His connection to the Milletian is hinted at in Episode 6 of the Saga, and fully revealed with his identity in Episode 7. [[spoiler: He's an aged Tarlach, aiding a similarly aged Ruairi in his plans to completely sever the gods' ties to Erinn.]]

A supporter of the Cessair and a close confidant of Black Mask, the Black Dragon Knight oversees Shamala's imprisonment during the early parts of G18, and commands the defense of Zardine against the allied Elven and Giant forces. In Episode 6, he engages the Milletian in combat, revealing himself to be [[spoiler:Ruairi.]] Judging from his name, he may have some associated with Bhafel, the black dragon, but the exact nature of their relationship remains unclear.

* {{Determinator}}: He tried ''86'' times to clear Rabbie Dungeon without breaking a golden egg in the process, all to earn Dilys' respect. Although he eventually succeeds she thinks little of the achievement.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: As of G13, Eiry is no longer given to new players. [[TearJerker She no longer exists.]]

* {{Shoryuken}}

* BoobsOfSteel

[[WMG:'''Warning!''' This page contains '''visible spoilers''' in the characer descriptions! Read at your own risk.]]

* [[spoiler:BigBadWannabe: Even if she defeated you, she still had Cichol, a ''god'' and all his armies to contend with. She was doomed, one way or another.]]

* [[spoiler:BreadAndCircuses: Despite being an Evil Necromancer, she runs Emain Macha highly efficiently and the people under her have no complaints of her administration.]]
* [[spoiler:EvilChancellor: Subverted; she's ''officially'' the chancellor, but she's really the effective Lord of Emain Macha, as Rian is simply her puppet.]]
* [[spoiler:AGodAmI: Her motive is to become one.]]
* [[spoiler:MookMaker: She summons Dark Skeletons to kill you during the fight with her.]]
* [[spoiler:{{Necromancer}}: What she really is.]]

* [[spoiler:TemptingFate: Challenges the idea that the True Paladin will come to save you and Redire from Tabhartus. Five minutes later, you become the True Paladin. Cue ironic defeat.]]
* [[spoiler:VillainsNeverLie: Ruairi still trusts Esras enough to believe her word that you were the one who murdered Rian.]]

->''[[spoiler:His clothes and face are definitely Price, but something is different about him. With anger and remorse written all over his face, he almost looks like a different person. It's his eyes that have completely changed his persona. Though everything else about him looks gloomy, his eyes are brightly shining like a blazing flame.]]''

[[spoiler: In truth, this is because Price is Redire himself, having lost his pride and nearly executed due to the machinations of Esras. Redire still keeps contacts in Emain Macha, unwilling to simply allow the city to fall to ruin at Esras' hands. He helps the player through the end of G2, and helps the player again in a critical moment of G3.]]

* [[spoiler:BigDamnHeroes: Saves the player from Morgant, Ruairi and Cichol about a third of the way into G3.]]

* ObfuscatingStupidity
* [[spoiler:Ten Minute Retirement: For a while he simply gives up on Emain Macha and spends his days drinking. Once he gets over himself, he works behind the scenes to try to bring Esras down.]]

* PutOnABus: After G3.
** [[spoiler:BusCrash: Triona died at some between G3 and G16, and Bella began to pose as her to her father through brainwashing.]]
* [[spoiler:SealedEvilInACan: It's not really clear though whether she's the evil itself, the can, or some combination of both.]]
* WhatTheHellHero'' [[WhatTheHellPlayer and]]'' [[WhatTheHellPlayer player]]: Upon '''[[YouBastard you]]''', along with preemptive HeelRealization for the main character; the last stage in your Paladin training involves you being ordered to murder a seemingly perfectly defenseless little girl, during which your character happily plays along before realizing Triona really ''is'' a perfectly defenseless little girl, and quitting the training as a result of the incident. [[spoiler:Excluding the Macha factor anyways.]]

* AdventurerArchaeologist
* CoolBigSis

[[spoiler:She has a dark side about her, however, as sole person aware among the Elves of their gruesome fate; that someday every Elf is cursed to transform into a Desert Wraith. She alters the memories of all involved to keep this secret.]]

* [[spoiler:Unperson: What she is likely forced to do every time an Elf becomes a Desert Wraith.]]
* [[spoiler:WellIntentionedExtremist: She conceals the truth behind the Desert Wraiths to prevent the Elves from collapsing into total despair.]]

The quiet healer of the Elf Village. [[spoiler:She once healed the champion of the Giants, Taunnes, from near-death. Castanea imprisoned and mind-wiped her for it. Crumena attempts to use her to summon a corrupted Golden Dragon in G8, but the player and Taunnes rescue her.]]

* [[spoiler: EasyAmnesia]]: [[spoiler: Atrata's memories of the time she spent healing Taunus have been erased.]]

Yoff is the Arena Keeper of the Connous Battle Arena, located outside of Filia. He is involved in the early parts of the elf transformation quest. [[spoiler:He was once an Elf named Phasneus, but the ancient curse upon his kind transformed him into the Desert Wraith who would become known as Yoff. Castanea wiped his own memory, as well as that of all who knew him, making him an {{Unperson}}.]]

* EasyAmnesia: [[spoiler:Thanks to Castanea.]]

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking

* TheBlacksmith

Cromm Cruaich, leader of the Blue Dragons, is a Fomorian Dragon who is a pet of the Goddess, Macha. Petrified Cromm Cruaich is the final boss of G3, [[spoiler: or not. It's not the real thing; it's a stone copy. The real one shows up after to take Ruairi away.]]

Cromm Cruaich served the Fomors during the first war, during which he ate Nuadha's sword Claimh Solas, and killed Nuadha himself. He appears in Chapter 2, intending to use Ruairi to summon the Golden Dragon Adniel. [[spoiler:However, Crumena succeeds in tricking the player into aiding him to kill Cromm Cruaich.]]

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Possibly; it's unclear if the Cromm Cruaich that served Cichol and Macha in the first war was the real one or the stone fake fought in G3.]]
* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal: Thanks to Crumena.]]

Crumena is the leader of the Red Dragons in Zardine, [[spoiler: he ultimately wants to corrupt the summoning of Gold Dragon. At first, during G8, you help him, under the guise that there are other Dragons trying to prevent the summoning. He has you help him kill Cromm Cruaich, sending him into a fiery demise. He is the final boss of G8, attempting to use Atrata to summon a darkened version of the Golden Dragon, Adniel. Taunes arrives to aid the player, however, and slays the dragon in one blow.]]

* [[spoiler:BigBad: Of G8.]]

* [[spoiler:ManipulativeBastard: Tricks the player into helping him kill Cromm Cruaich.]]
* [[spoiler:SealedEvilInACan: He and the Red Dragons are sealed in Zardine by the Irinid. His goal is to undo that and claim all of Iria for himself.]]

* AdventurerArchaeologist
* DoesNotLikeMen: Blame Lucas for that.
* HealingHands
* MissionControl

* [[spoiler:UnwittingPawn: She's just as surprised that Crumena was actually evil. He saved her the same way he saved the player at some point in her life.]]

** EscortMission: Apparently, he's ''meant'' to be helpful during the G11 missions wherein he teams up with you, but his weak AI leaves him likely to die unless you help him.
* BadassBookworm

* ElementalPowers: All part of being an Alchemist.
** BlowYouAway: Wind Blast does this quite literally.
** DishingOutDirt: Barrier Spikes is considered an earth-element alchemy skill.
** AnIcePerson: Leymore gains access to [[HarmlessFreezing Frozen Blast]] during the EscortMission sequences in G11 and G12.
** MakingASplash: Leymore's primary form of offense is the Water Cannon Alchemy skills.

* [[SquishyWizard Squishy Alchemist]]: Despite having powerful, high ranked alchemy, in his few RP missions he actually has ''less'' health than [[SquishyWizard Tarlach]], and only a tad bit more defense. If you have a high enough total level for hard mode, he can die in two or three hits from the mobs if you don't use him right. For people who have a lower total level and easier missions, he may seem like...

* VictoriousChildhoodFriend: With Jenna.

* ArtificialStupidity: See Leymore.
** EscortMission: See Leymore, again.
* [[spoiler:CameBackWrong: Until the player saves him.]]
** [[spoiler:SoullessShell: [[FateWorseThanDeath Cichol actually uses his body to do his bidding for a while]].]]

* ElementalPowers: His are the same as Leymore's.
* [[spoiler: FaceHeelTurn: In the hopes of finding a way to resurrect his beloved.]]

* ThoseTwoGuys: [[RuleOfThree Once more, see Leymore.]]

* ActionGirl
** FauxActionGirl: During G9.

* BoobsOfSteel
* BowAndSwordInAccord

* {{Chickification}}: Played with; She begins to chickify during the end of G11, but proves she can still kick ass anyways in G12.
** .. Until a certain mission later in G12 where [[spoiler:she gets handed a random DistressBall, resulting in Lennox [[HeroicSacrifice sacrificing himself]] to save her.]]

* [[spoiler:DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: She kills ''Cichol'', who was, before that, Mabinogi's top MagnificentBastard, [[DidYouJustScamCthulhu Goddess Deceiver]], KarmaHoudini, [[KickTheDog Dog Kicker]], [[TheChessmaster Chess Playing]], [[ThePlan Gambiteer]]. In true form, however, he manages to salvage the situation on the fly, and returns anyway not long after. Anyways, she also ''did'' do it with the SwordOfPlotAdvancement, mind you.]]

* MagicVersusScience: [[spoiler:Her parents were victims of this.]]

* SheCleansUpNicely: Does she ever!
* {{Tomboy}}: Oh yes.

* VictoriousChildhoodFriend: With Leymore.

* DefectorFromDecadence
* [[spoiler:KnightTemplar: Used to be a literal one. He's also the one who convinced Jenna to join them.]]

[[spoiler: Andras is actually an elf, her ears hidden by the scarf she wears around her head. She has been friends with Elatha since he saved her life when she was ten years old.]]

* ActionGirl

* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: Being an Elf on the Uladh continent before the discovery of Iria, and therefore Elves, young Andras was thought to be a Fomor and subjected to FantasticRacism.]]
** FantasticRacism and AllOfTheOtherReindeer

* [[spoiler:LaserGuidedAmnesia]]

* RescueRomance: With Elatha, [[spoiler:but it never goes anywhere.]]
* UnluckyChildhoodFriend: [[spoiler: She and Elatha never got anywhere, and with him dead and all, they never will.]]

* AnAxeToGrind

* StatuesqueStunner: She's not bad looking for a Giant.

* OldMaster

* OldMaster
* WeUsedToBeFriends: [[spoiler:With Helvetius.]]

[[spoiler: He is in fact the son of Neamhain and Morgant, and brother of Triona.]]

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Makes one to save Andras.]]
* HornyDevils

* ScrewDestiny

* [[spoiler:BitchInSheepsClothing: Chapter 3 begins to show the dark side to her character. It's a prelude to her being the BigBad of Chapter 4.]]

* DeusExitMachina: Something will ''always'' [[GodsHandsAreTied tie her hands.]] [[spoiler:Until the G12 Final Boss. She [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome fights directly alongside you]] for that.]]
* [[spoiler:EasilyForgiven: Whether or not she is is up to you; it's decided by your decision to either become a Dark Knight after Generation 3, the antithesis of what She intended for you to become, or remain a Paladin, as she originally wanted.]]

** GlowingEyesOfDoom: She's downright ''scary'' when she opens her eyes. Not only does she has this but she drops her usual calm expression for a much more hateful one.

[[spoiler:Ruairi finally resurfaces during the G2 storyline, where he has lost a lot of his happy demeanor as a result of the events at Tir Na Nog. TheDragon Morgant, and his daughter Triona, took care of Ruairi, who was comatose since the incident. During his time with Morgant, Ruairi came to trust in the Dark Lord, and when it seemed that Rian, the last living person Ruairi cared for any more (as he believed Tarlach and Mari to be dead) had also died, he pulled a FaceHeelTurn and became a Dark Knight like Morgant.]]

[[spoiler: At the end of the G3 storyline, he learns Tarlach and Mari are still alive and betrays Cichol, however, Cichol uses Ruairi as a sacrifice to call out the stone Cromm Cruaich. After the fake is destroyed, the genuine article arrives and decides to take Ruairi with him to ease his suffering. Ruairi later appears in the G8 storyline alongside Cromm Cruaich, who evidently is planning to sacrifice the young man to summon Adniel, the Golden Dragon. However, it eventually is revealed Ruairi wasn't the intended sacrifice, and Cromm Cruaich was killed either way by another dragon, sparing the young man. Ruairi seems to return to Uladh alongside the Milletian, but he's next seen, much later, in G18 in the form of the Black Dragon Knight. At the climax of Saga 2, he sacrificed himself to complete a ritual that connect Erinn to other worlds.]]

* [[spoiler:CynicismCatalyst: Rian's death is the final nail in the coffin that sparks off his FaceHeelTurn.]]

* [[spoiler:FaceHeelTurn]]
* [[spoiler:GoodIsDumb: Just a slightly above average swordsman type during the RP dungeons. Beats your character around like a red-headed stepchild during [[strike:pretty much]] ''all'' of G2 and G3, and even stays toe-to-toe with '''Cichol''' for a while.]]
* [[spoiler:HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Turns back to the heroic side when he learns Tarlach and Mari are alive, and that Cichol doesn't plan to keep them that way.]]
* [[spoiler:HeroKiller: In all of the years of the game's story, the Millitian has never once managed to defeat Ruairi in a straight fight. That's after ''five'' times in a row. When he finally dies, it is because he sacrificed himself to complete the ritual rather than being defeated by the Millitian despite Ruairi being the final boss fight of Saga 2 ]]
* IdiotHero: At first.

* [[spoiler:OutOfFocus: Doesn't contribute much to the overall story of G1, Ruairi makes up for it in G2 and G3, and even continues to appear in G8 while Tarlach has long since settled into the background.]]

* [[IHaveBoobsYouMustObey She Has Boobs I Must Obey]]: Ruairi doesn't hide very well the fact that he's hoping for a reward from the beautiful Goddess.
* [[spoiler:SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: Becomes noticeably more serious and cynical by the time of his reappearance.]]
* [[spoiler:SmiteMeOMightySmiter: Once he loses Rian, the only person he had left, he demands Morrighan take pity on him and set things right for him. When She fails to deliver, he makes a FaceHeelTurn.]]

* [[spoiler:OneWingedAngel: He turns into a literal half human half dragon hybrid with one wing in his final confrontation with the Milletian in saga 2 .]]
* [[spoiler:MyDeathIsJusttheBeginning: The ritual that took his life open up Erinn to others worlds. Potentially allowing other gods from other world to interfere in the world]]

* ACupAngst: According to supplementary material, she's sensitive about her complete lack of development compared to others her age. [[HilariousInHindsight Heh.]]
* [[spoiler:AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: Died as Mari and was born again as Nao.]]
* BrattyHalfPint: To Ruairi.
* FanGirl: Over both Tarlach and Ranald.
* [[spoiler:HappilyAdopted: Although it's not made clear whether or not she knows Duncan isn't her real grandfather.]]

* [[spoiler:MyDeathIsOnlyTheBeginning: She didn't actually ''plan'' for it, but having her killed was likely Cichol's most disastrous mistake He could have ever made.]]
* {{Tomboy}}

[[spoiler: After the death of Mari's parents, he raised her as his adoptive Granddaughter, and still maintains ties with her, as Nao.]]

* PaintingTheMedium: When the player first speaks to Duncan, he writes the players name in the air with his finger
** Though he then says it's so the owls know the players name do deliver his quests, it's obviously referencing how your name floats above your head in the air.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure

* [[spoiler:BigDamnHeroes: Saves you from Morgant in G3.]]
* [[spoiler:GoodCostumeSwitch: Traded out her LeotardOfPower for a Nun's Habit.]]
* [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn: She cast aside her succubus life to live as a human out of her love for Tarlach.]]
* [[spoiler:HornyDevils: Used to be one. During the 2010 Valentines Day event, she actually loans out her old outfit to female characters, letting ''them'' be HornyDevils for three days.]]
* LoveRedeems: [[spoiler: Her feelings for Tarlach prompted her HeelFaceTurn.]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Subverted - Kristell's not dangerous at all. [[spoiler: Instead, her red eyes serve as foreshadowing that she's an Ex-Fomor.]]
* [[spoiler:SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains: See GoodCostumeSwitch above.]]
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: [[spoiler: Her experiences with adventurers that had come to Rabbie Dungeon before Tarlach lead her to believe love was about dominating your partner. With Tarlach's help she eventually realized what it was really about.]]

[[spoiler: He began to question his new employer, however, when he was ordered to kill his own daughter and pupil. He sent Tarlach away from Tir Na Nog, where he was found and saved by Kristell, but the death of his daughter left him resenting the Fomors. He eventually discovered that the Morrighan he thought he had been serving was, in fact, Cichol, and began to discreetly work against him. At the end of the G1 storyline he reveals this and attempts to turn on Cichol, but ends up becoming the God's first victim in the storyline.]]

* [[spoiler: SenselessSacrifice: He ''tries'' to bring Cichol down with him, but he fails pretty badly. The final straw is when he pulls a TakingTheBullet for you, when your character literally ''cannot'' die.]]
* [[SquishyWizard Squishy Druid]]: He ''would'' be one, but he's far too badass for that nonsense.
* [[spoiler:TakingTheBullet: He ultimately dies taking one of Cichol's attacks that was meant for your character.]]

* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:By Ruairi's father, and Cichol, ''twice'']].
* YoungerThanTheyLook: He's actually just in his late thirties, despite his appearance and everyone claiming he's an old man.
** His aged appearance is actually a side effect of his Magical duel with the Arch-wizard Commander of the Fomors during the 2nd Fomor War when the latter attempted to drop Ladeca (the big blue moon) on Erinn. Both were believed killed in the ensuing battle, but Mores barely survived (though Morgant claims it's because Jabediel (The Archwizard, who was also a human helping the Fomors) had a change of heart during the battle, and chose to spare Mores after his plan was thwarted, sacrificing himself to save him).

If you're curious, he's referring to [[spoiler: Ruairi, Mari and Tarlach,]] in order. Or if you want to take a different interpretation, [[spoiler:Mari, Ruairi, and Tarlach]].

A powerful dark swordsman, serving as Cichol's right hand, and leader of the Ghost Armors. Morgant is responsible for converting most of Cichol's human servants over to his services. [[spoiler:Ironically, Morgant himself is a human who has joined Cichol; he is Lugh Lavada, the legendary Knight of Light who has crossed over to become a Dark Knight for reasons yet unexplained. In Generation 2 and 3, he took interest in Ruairi and spared his life, and then trained him in the ways of the Dark Knight. His daughter is Triona, the current host of the Goddess Macha. Morgant was last seen leaving Baol dungeon with Triona, though he promises to return one day. His son, Elatha is later introduced in Chapter 3.]]

* CoolSword: [[spoiler:The sword he once wielded as Lugh. He gives it to Ruairi at the start of G3.]]
* CutscenePowerToTheMax: Taken UpToEleven. Nobody can stop Cutscene!Morgant... [[spoiler:Except for [[BigDamnHeroes Tarlach.]]]]
* DoNotCallMePaul: [[spoiler:Do not call him Lugh.]]
* TheDragon
* [[spoiler:DragonWithAnAgenda: In G3, he claims to Ruairi that he is using Cichol for some currently unclear purpose.]]

* [[spoiler:FaceHeelTurn: He's ''the famous paladin Lugh'', but he got sick of humanity's selfishness.]]
* [[spoiler:FallenHero: ''How'' he fell is still a mystery.]]

* TinTyrant

* [[spoiler:EldritchAbomination: The soul of one, technically.]]
* [[spoiler:GrandTheftMe: In a bit of a switch, ''nothing'' takes his place inside his proper body; the Glas Ghaibhleann is simply left a soulless, mindless monster.]]

* [[spoiler:PunyEarthlings: Dougal is said to come from another world, and finds his current human body too weak for his tastes. Otherwise he doesn't seem to dislike humans any more than the next person.]]

* [[spoiler:VillainOverForDinner: You find out that Dougal is actually the soul of the very creature you've been trying to prevent the summoning of for the later half of G1, only after he's been helping you for the past hour or so.]]

Esras is the Prime Minister and Druid of Emain Macha, and is currently the caretaker of the current lord, Rian, Ruairi's younger brother. Due to his dwindling heath however, much of the administration of the city is left in Esras' hands. The player meets her early in G2, where she provides the player the means to begin their training as a Paladin. [[spoiler:In truth, Esras is a Necromancer, and was most likely the one responsible behind the death of Rian and Ruairi's father. She resurrected Rian as a sad half-dead shell of his former self to continue her hold on the city. She began to use the Paladins to steal resources from other lands, most notably Bangor, by making them hunt down Kobold Miners, so that she could use the Gold to create Tabhartus, the guardian of Lia Fail, so that she could use Lia Fail to become a God.]]

[[spoiler:The Player faces off with her at the end of G2, and after succeeding Lugh Lavada as a True Paladin, defeats Tabhartus and Esras, but not before being framed as the murderer of Rian in the eyes of Ruairi as a result of Esras' machinations, prompting him to declares ItsPersonal.]]

* NiceJobBreakingItHero / [[UnwittingPawn Unwitting Pawn]]: NUMEROUS times throughout the mainstream storylines. As Price [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] in Generation 2, it all seems to stem from your [[ButThouMust utter inability to NOT do anything and everything you're told]].

* [[SuddenlyVoiced Suddenly with Dialogue]]: From Chapter 2 onwards, the Milletian is occasionally given either monologues or dialogue during the cutscenes. Chapter 4 also gives The Milletian [[DialogueTree dialogue trees]].

The [[SeriesMascot mascot]] of the game and the first character met by the player, Nao "lives" in the Soul Stream and guides souls from other worlds into the world of Erinn. [[spoiler:She is actually Mari reborn. After her death, she came into the service of the Goddess Morrighan.]] Nao also gives players presents (Accessories) on their birthday. You can return the favor by gifting her with dresses found in-game.

* [[PalsWithJesus Pals With God]]: She guides souls into Erinn under the service of Morrighan.

The Generation 1 storyline reveals that, some time later, a human warrior name Ruairi began to receive prophetic dreams from her, begging for him to come to Tir Na Nog to save her. He joined forces with the Druid Tarlach and the young Archer Mari in an attempt to rescue her. [[spoiler:However, in the end, it was revealed that Morrighan had chosen to betray humanity, and had instead lured the three into a trap to kill them.]] However, the player character will also receive dreams from Morrighan, in which she urges them to do the same. [[spoiler:It is eventually revealed that Morrighan had been captured and sealed in Tir Na Nog just as she sealed the passages at the end of the First War by Cichol, the God of the Fomors, who proceeded to pose as her. The player character rescues her from Cichol near the end of the Generation 1 storyline, and Morrighan in return rescues the player when Cichol himself prepares to kill them after the Final Boss. She remains behind to protect the rift between Tir Na Nog and Erinn, and urges the player to become stronger.]]

[[spoiler: She continues to guide the player through the Generation 2 storyline, urging them to become a Paladin and prepare for the inevitable war with Cichol's Fomors. During the Generation 3 storyline, Cichol's forces began to destroy her Statues, and Morrighan herself was finally beginning to lose in her efforts to keep Erinn and Tir Na Nog separate. Tarlach rescues her the second time however, and the two go to the players aid alongside Nao. She finally returns in Generation 10 to chide her sister Neamhain for nearly ruining the situation by attacking Cichol, and then urges the player to save the Soul Stream.]]

[[spoiler: Morrighan appears again in Generation 11, urging the player to return the Caliburn to its alter to prevent the destruction of the world. More notably, some insight is given into her past; Morrighan orchestrated the destruction of the Partholonian race by bringing Cichol and the Fomors into Erinn. She then caused the Fomor-Human war by summoning Milletians into Erinn to destroy the Fomors in turn, and by the end of the Generation 11 storyline, the chain of fear continues on, with Morrighan becoming fearful of the player character's continued growth and swearing to destroy them personally.]]

[[spoiler: However, the return of Nuadha in Generation 12 forces Morrighan to work alongside the player instead, lending her aid to defeat the King of the Gods. Afterward, Morrighan sends the Player on their way to save Neamhain, and more or less apologizes for her prior actions against them.]]

[[spoiler: She appears next in G13, where she attempts to trick the player into killing [[ItMakesSenseInContext Shakespeare]], and after that fails, she summons TheGrimReaper to do the job instead. G15 shows that she can Cichol used to be friends. Shakespeare's vision of the future warns him that she intends to draw all Milletians into the Soul Stream to have them all killed.]]

[[spoiler:G16 reveals her true motives however; the Soul Stream, which she built, presented a threat to Erinn. In G16 she urges Bella to perform a HeroicSacrifice to purify the Soul Stream and make it save for Erinn. After succeeding in this, she promises not to harm the Milletians again, and sends Shakespeare home.]]

* [[spoiler: BigBad: She's made to see this way through G1, but it's actually Cichol posing as her. She actually ''is'' the BigBad of Chapter 4, though.]]
** [[spoiler:[[WellIntentionedExtremist sort of]], anyways.]]

* [[spoiler:ManipulativeBastard: Uses various factions to eliminate her enemies without her having to put any effort into it of her own.]]

* [[spoiler:[[NiceJobBreakingItHero Nice Job Breaking Erinn Goddess]]:Nice job causing the whole Fomor War, Morri.]]

* SealedGoodInACan: [[spoiler: Almost happens to her twice, but Tarlach saves her before the second time fully set in.]]

* [[spoiler:WellIntentionedExtremist: All her actions throughout Chapter 4 were revealed to be an attempt to save Erinn through stabilizing the Soul Stream - which was endangering it.]]

* WingedHumanoid
* [[WhatTheHellHero What The Hell Goddess]]: [[spoiler:Cichol calls her out at the end of G3 on not ever telling humanity know that Erinn is actually Tir Na Nog, an the Other World is simply an alternative wasteland and not the true paradise, and for using Milletians to fight the war between good and evil. She claims she has her reasons, but hasn't yet explained them. Whether or not your character forgives her is determined by whether you become a Dark Knight or remain a Paladin. She got called out again by Cichol in the backstory for refusing to seal the gap in Erinn.]]

God of the Fomors and Darkness. A cruel god who seeks to wipe out Humanity to bring about a rather ill-defined utopia of some kind. [[spoiler:He was behind the previous wars against humanity by the Fomors, and was the cause of Morrighan's disappearance from the world. He's also an effective manipulator, and has deceived nearly all of the [[TheDragon Dragons]] currently under his command.]]

[[spoiler:Cichol traps and seals Morrighan before Generation 1 begins and poses as her in a bid to wipe out humanity. He plans to revive [[EldritchAbomination Glas Ghaibhleann]], among many other generally nasty creatures of various types. Cichol is the primary villain of Chapter One (Generations One to Three of the storyline) and during Generation 9 and 10, but he falls OutOfFocus during Chapter 2 (Generations 4 to 8), and ends up being usurped as the villain during Chapter Three (Generations 9 to 12), after Neamhain has him killed in Generation 11. He returns at the end of Generation 12 and seems ready to resume his role as the main villain.]]

[[spoiler:G15 reveals that Cichol and Morrighan were once friends, but went separate ways when they argued over how to deal with the Soul Stream; Cichol argued for its destruction, while Morrighan wanted to leave it open to see what affects the Milletians would have on Erinn. Cichol's plan is revealed as well; he wants to purify Erinn with the blood of those who live there.]]

* [[spoiler:ZeroPercentApprovalRating:The Fomors rapidly lose all faith in Cichol in Generation 11 due to him being willing to work with the humans to stop Caliburn. Unlike normal uses of this trope, they actually renounce him as their god and move under their own volition from there on.]]

* BigBad.

* KillAllHumans
* [[spoiler:MyDeathIsJustTheBeginning: He didn't plan to die, but by giving his powers to the player character, he manages to ensure that the Fomor race is saved from the threat of Neamhain and the Caliburn from beyond the grave anyways.]]

* [[spoiler:StrangeBedfellows: Neamhain's actions in Generation 11 force him to side with the player for once.]]

* [[spoiler:UnexplainedRecovery: Shows up again without explanation after Generation 12 ends. Well...not completely unexplained just not explicitly....when your character enters Falias for first time your Shadowspirit spells flares up briefly and disperses....Cichol stored a portion of his soul inside you as he was dying so that he could feed off the spirits you absorbed with Shadow-spirit and eventually revive himself, but since you brought him directly to Falias, he simply left and used the energy there to reform himself much more quickly then he originally planned.]]

* WingedHumanoid

* YourSoulIsMine: How Shadow Spirit works.

[[spoiler:Tarlach survived the events at Tir Na Nog, but he was crippled internally and left frequently ill and unable to cast magic anymore. The Succubus Kristell saved his life and nursed him back to health, but, finding himself to be unworthy of her intense devotion, left her and took up refuge in Sidhe Sneachta, where he forages for Mana Herbs by day as a Bear to survive. After the player deduces his identity, he (initially unwillingly) helps them throughout Generation One and Three. Afterward, his involvement in the storyline comes to an end, but he plays an instrumental role in obtaining a Spirit Weapon.]]

* [[AWizardDidIt A Druid Did It]]: How [[spoiler:he got his powers back]] in G3 goes totally unexplained, which is even more mind boggling since he goes right back to living up north afterward. [[AWizardDidIt Nao Did It? Morrighan Did It?]]
** Then again, [[spoiler: it he HAD been "resting" for quite a while. It's possible he COULD use magic, but doing so would destabilize his body. Again.]]

** Actually Tarlach is very powerful for a druid.....for a druid (all he's really missing is blaze and he'd have about the same skill set as Berched). Wizards and Druids ARE different things, even if mechanically they're very similar and are part of the same order. Druids gain their spells through study and research exclusively and favor a more restrained and balanced approach, while wizards generally have to have inborn talent to achieve anything beyond the most basic of spells, and even then, Magic is the power of the Fomors so it's difficult for humans to use and tends to have negative consequences (like Mores's advanced aging) if they delve too deeply into advanced magical powers. Millitians of course have no such difficulties. Alchemy was actually created as an attempt to side-step the issue and mass-produce Wizards.

* [[SquishyWizard Squishy Druid]]: Unfortunately, you have to solo an RP dungeon as him, and expect to get knocked out quite a bit if you're being too hasty. When you get to fighting [[spoiler:Kristell]], though, it's another story.

* DeathFromAbove

* DiscOneFinalBoss: Of Generation 12.
* [[spoiler:FallenAce: Used to be one of the four great Vates, alongside Lennox and Dorren.]]

* [[spoiler:NotQuiteDead: Appeared to be killed by Neamhain at the end of Generation 11, but returns in Generation 12.]]
** [[spoiler:NoOneCouldSurviveThat: Lampshaded in the G12 edition of Erinn Walker.]]
* [[spoiler:RivalTurnedEvil: To Lennox]]

* [[spoiler:TakingYouWithMe: When it is clear that his faction has lost their battle against the Royal Alchemists, he blows up the Alchemy steam ovens in the middle of the battle field, killing himself and Lennox.]]

* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice: Sacrifices himself to save Jenna from Helvetius' final attack.]]
** MyGreatestSecondChance

[[spoiler:Eabha is actually a Homunculus, created when Dorren, Lennox, Helvetius, and another powerful alchemist were asked by the Ailiech Royal Regime to save a dying child.]]

[[spoiler:For some reason, Eabha is identical to the Gatekeeper of Falias.]]

* [[spoiler:ArtificialHuman]]
* CreepyChild

[[spoiler:In G15, it is revealed that Shakespeare himself is the very first Milletian, who somehow traveled over from our own world into Erinn. During his early days in Erinn, Shakespeare met and fell in love with a girl named Bella, but they were separated when Cichol attacked the two, warning that Shakespeare was an uninvited guest and should leave.]]

[[spoiler: Shakespeare sets off the plot of G15 by telling Shylock to attempt to take Antonio's heart. In reality, he intended to drive Shylock into despair so that he would willingly give up his body to Shakespeare, so that Shakespeare could use it to escape Morrighan's eyes forever. Before he could finish his plan, Morrighan caught up with him and recaptured him. The generation ends with a dark vision of the future, showing all Milletians dead at Bella's hands.]]

[[spoiler: in G16, Bella and Shakespeare reunite, and she deceives him into killing the King of Tara. This is all a part of Lugh Lavada's plan to take the throne of Erinn. Shakespeare spends the rest of the Generation preparing for a confrontation with Bella, only for Lugh to kill her before he can see her again. In the end, with Bella dead and no reason to remain in Erinn, Shakespeare demands Morrighan to send him home, and she obliges. Upon his return, the skills and memories he learned in Erinn were lost forever.]]

* [[spoiler: KarmaHoudini: Can be seen as this; the events of G15 ''are'' his fault, but he's not called out on it.]]

* PurposelyOverpowered: Being [[spoiler:the very first Milletian]], Shakespeare has had the most time to do everything a player can hope of doing in Mabinogi. As such, during the rp missions as him in G16, he has the highest rank of ''nearly every skill'' in the game, including race-specific ones, giving him ''incredible'' power.
** So much so that Morrighan changed the rules so Millitians could no longer change their race once they'd incarnated for the first time in an early effort to curb the potential damage they could cause.

* [[spoiler:TrappedInAnotherWorld: Until the end of G16.]]

* BlueBlood
* DropTheHammer

** HystericalWoman: Fortunately, she's the only example in the game, so it's more a unique quirk of her's.

** TenderTears.

[[spoiler:In reality, Shakespeare made contact with Shylock just before Antonio did, and said he would reunite Shylock with his loved ones, provided he could bring Shakespeare Antonio's heart. In reality, Shakespeare knew Shylock wouldn't go through with it, and merely wanted to push Shylock far enough into despair that Shylock would give his body to Shakespeare so he could escape Morrighan's eyes forever. In the end, Shakespeare sends Shylock into the story of Golvan to reunite him with his family.]]

** GoshDangItToHeck: It's still censored in the chat.
* [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn: In the end, he aids in Antonio's escape and begs Admiral Owen not to punish the player for their part in the rescue.]]

[[spoiler: In G16, Bella reluctantly tricks Shakespeare into killing the King of the Aliech, allowing Lugh Lavada to take the throne. Cichol reveals she's the "Emissary of Destruction" and has the power to control the minds of others. She poses to Lugh as his deceased daughter Triona, but near the end of G16 he sees through her facade and slays her. With her last breath, Bella gathers the souls of the recently killed and uses them to purify the Soul Stream, ending its dangers to Erinn.]]

* [[spoiler:AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence]]

* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice: It's heavily implied that Bella allowed Lugh Lavada to realize that she wasn't Triona, so that she could die an purify the soul stream.]]

He later returned in his original Paladin form to conspire for the death of the King, in order to retake his throne. He forms a pact with the undead of Peaca dungeon, intending to use them to snuff out all life in Erinn. He's the final boss of G16.]]

** [[spoiler: Turns out he's just a huge douchenozzle and tends to be drunk 99.9% of the time after coming to Erinn. He's actually a very competent smith (96% for 90% prices) if he really likes you (aka...the Friend of Ferghus title is equipped (+5 hp, +5 luck, +6% repair success with Ferghus)..but unfortunately, it's no longer available and was a completely random chance to even acquire it (every character was randomly assigned a Friend of X Title upon creation depending on who Duncan asked you visit during tutorial quest, which when worn would cause various [=NPCs=] to give you free items each in-game day if you talked to them. Except for Friends of Ferghus who they simply griped at and complained about instead).]]
