History Characters / RuneScapeMahjarrat

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: It takes a lot of work to get under his skin, but after he finds out [[spoiler:you saw a glimpse of his real plans]], he becomes ''royally'' pissed off, and [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beats you to a pulp]].

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler:Following his capture after the Battle of Forinthry, Zemouregal does nothing but insult the player and make his dripping contempt clear. When the player reveals in Requiem for a Dragon that Moia has resurrected Bilrach somehow, Zemouregal quickly drops the attitude and starts paying attention, as he does not like the implications one bit.]]

* ThisCannotBe: [[spoiler:When told at the end of Requiem for a Dragon that Moia has somehow resurrected Bilrach, Zemouregal reacts with a mixture of horror and disbelief, as he knows for a fact that since Mahjarrat don't have souls they ''cannot'' be resurrected. He explains that the only possible explanation is that the being the player met was not Bilrach, but rather someone or something that simply looked like him, and asks to be alone in order to contemplate the revelation, musing that the sheer implications behind Moia's actions change everything.]]

* VillainTeamUp: Seeks an alliance with [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent Jerrod]] to turn the tide in the Zamorakian Civil War. In exchange for his allegiance and that of the werewolves who follow him, Jerrod wants the Mahjarrat to [[SlaveLiberation help him]] [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters overthrow the vampyres]] after the war is over. Bilrach accepts.

'''Jhallan:''' Oh, that. It is because I am not interested in playing their political games. All the time everyone is demanding that I pick sides. When I refuse, [[NeutralityBacklash they just assume]] [[WithUsOrAgainstUs I am on the other side]].\\

* MercyKill: While being sacrificed is far from an enviable fate, it ultimately falls into this trope since Kolton could never recover from what [[EldritchAbomination Vos]] [[FateWorseThanDeath did to him.]]

** In "Sliske's Endgame", [[spoiler:Sliske's plans finally come crashing down when the player finally takes the fight to him. It culminates with Sliske [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice getting skewered]] on the Staff of Armadyl. And yet, [[PutOnABusToHell he's still]] [[JokerImmunity not truly dead]] ...]]

Originally a neighboring tribe of the Mahjarrat, [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge they were wiped out in retribution for the death of Alotor]], [[KnightTemplarBigBrother Azzanadra's brother.]] [[spoiler:[[FrameUp Except they were not the ones who killed him.]]]]

* NotMeThisTime: [[spoiler:Turns out the Mahkorat did ''not'' kill Alotor. It's not until thousands of years after the fact that Azzanadra learns the real culprit was none other than [[ManipulativeBastard Sliske]], who admits he killed his brother and [[FrameUp framed the Mahkorat]] [[ForTheEvulz for no reason]] [[ItAmusedMe at all.]]]]

* SkewedPriorities: When one of her tracking devices records evidence that [[TheDreaded Vengeance]] (from the eponymous saga) is wandering the Wilderness and killing cultists, Trindine seems more interested in confirming that [[{{Fanservice}} the Zamorak illustration]] [[https://twitter.com/runescape/status/1540403668863913992 with a chaise lounge]] the cultists happened to discuss before Vengeance killed them is actually real and not just a rumor.

* PunchClockVillain: Unlike other Zarosians, she's not very devout and she isn't particularly dedicated to Zaros or his plans- she's mostly sticking with him because A, she thinks things were better for everyone when the Empire was in control, and B, the Mahjarrat are her friends and her people, so she wants to stay with them. (She's also very upbeat and friendly for someone who used to be one of the officers in Zaros' secret police.)

* Narcissist: Zemouregal doesn't think much of his fellow Mahjarrat and has an inflated opinion of himself. The only one he really respects is Hazeel, and to a lesser extent, Khazard as well.

* SmugSnake: Zemouregal doesn't think much of his fellow Mahjarrat and has an inflated opinion of himself. The only one he really respects is Hazeel, and to a lesser extent, Khazard as well.
-->'''Zemouregal:''' The rest could all be tossed into the fires of Infernus and I would not even waste a trip to watch them burn.
* TheStarscream: Implied to be considering this in the main universe. And an alternate version of him has performed several acts of blasphemy against Zamorak, desecrating Zamorak's wine and temple. His notes outright state that Zamorak is of little relevance to him, and has gone to great lengths to diminish his role in history.

* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: [[spoiler:Though Moia is dissapointed that [[SmugSnake Zemouregal]] did not get himself killed at the Battle of Forinthry, she admits that [[DyingRace the Mahjarrat as a whole are too few in numbers and that their deaths should be avoided if possible]]. [[WhamShot She then asks Bilrach, who was believed to have been killed by her and is now seemingly her puppet, if he agrees]].]]

* ConnectedAllAlong: When Jhallan and Lucien died during Ritual of the Mahjarrat, a wave of energy washed over the humans present, reminiscent of the strange power event that took place in 2010, shortly before the release of Dungeoneering. When asked about it, Wahisietel described it as "a case of the wrong Mahjarrat being in the wrong place at the wrong time", implying that Bilrach had died at the bottom of Daemonheim. [[spoiler:It was later revealed, however, that not only was Bilrach still alive, but that the strange power was a result of Bilrach sacrificing the last Chelon-Mah to absorb all of his power.]]
* DeadAllAlong: [[spoiler:Dialogue with Ali the Wise after Ritual of the Mahjarrat implies that this is his fate; specifically, the "strange power" phenomenon is what happens when a Dreams of Mah dies. "Dishonour among Thieves" reveals he is alive and well, however.]]

* KilledOffScreen: [[spoiler:When Moia makes her claim for Bilrach's position at the end of Succession, he confidently accepts her challenge before the scene transitions back to Adrasteia's coronation. When the cutscene transitions back to Daemonheim, Bilrach is laying on the ground before Moia. If the player re-experiencing the strange power event shortly afterwards is any indication, it would seem that Bilrach is dead... which raises several questions when he turns up seemingly alive following the Battle of Forinthry.]]

* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: [[spoiler:As of the "Dishonour among Thieves" quest, it turns out that he's alive and well and is serving as Zamorak's right-hand man.]]

* VillainousValour: When Moia finally makes her move and challenges Bilrach's authority at the end of Succession, he eventually decides to fight her himself after his lieutenants refuse to do so in his place. Even though he probably knows better than anyone how capable Moia is in a fight and she clearly has become even stronger, he still elects to fight her alone. [[spoiler:It gets him killed... or not.]]

* DragonAscendant: After Bilrach's latest scheme for absolute power is brought to a frankly humiliating end during Succession, Moia usurps him as leader of the Zamorakians.

* IHaveYourWife: Sister, anyway. Moia holds the soul of Avaryss as ransom in order to have Nymora betray K'ril. After Bilrach banishes him, however, Moia holds on to the soul of Avaryss, promising to eventually release her after more work is finished. [[YouSaidYouWouldLetThemGo When Nymora attempts to object to this]], Moia cows her into compliance by [[DeaderThanDead threatening to destroy her sister's soul.]]

* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: during the earlier parts of the Nadir saga, Moia is somewhat honorable, as she regrets killing [[PunchClockVillain Captain Toma]] and shows disgust at the practices of the Necrolords in Daemonheim. After juicing up on portal magic, she ruthlessly slaughters everyone and anybody in her way.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Bilrach describes his sacrifice of the last Chelon-Mah as "a justice long overdue", since he had killed many Mahjarrat in the past.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Regardless of if the World Guardian spares or kills [[spoiler:Nomad]], Sliske takes him away and turns him into one of his wights.

* KilledOffScreen: [[spoiler:When Moia makes her claim for Bilrach's position at the end of Succession, he confidently accepts her challenge before the scene transitions back to Adrasteia's coronation. When the cutscene transitions back to Daemonheim, Bilrach is laying on the ground before Moia. If the player re-experiencing the strange power event shortly afterwards is any indication, it would seem that Bilrach is dead.]]

* VillainousValour: When Moia finally makes her move and challenges Bilrach's authority at the end of Succession, he eventually decides to fight her himself after his lieutenants refuse to do so in his place. Even though he probably knows better than anyone how capable Moia is in a fight and she clearly has become even stronger, he still elects to fight her alone. [[spoiler:It gets him killed.]]

* CloningBlues: In "Dimension of Disaster", he creates a bobblehead pet version of himself... to abuse and force into meaningless tasks while the most it can do in response is swear and [[INeedAFreakingDrink demand brew]].

* HeKnowsTooMuch: He said ''something'' to Azzanadra that made him, in his authority as [[HighPriest Pontifex Maximus]], lock up Nabor in his own asylum. While Sliske speculated that Nabor [[{{Blackmail}} found dirt]] on Azzanadra, it is implied that he simply realized that the [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Chthonians]] suffered from repressed HorrorHunger and would give in to their urges if indulged even once. Because the Chthonians were part of Senntisten's higher class and possessed great political influence, this revelation could potentially throw the city into chaos. Nabor's mistake was sharing his concerns with Azzanadra, who would've decided [[WellIntentionedExtremist the best course of action was to keep him quiet by any means necessary.]] The fact that he did not have Nabor executed or sacrificed would also imply that Azzanadra felt a degree of regret in doing this, [[NecessaryEvil even if he felt that it was necessary.]]

* EnemyMine: [[InvokedTrope Invokes]] this against [[BigBad Lucien]] during Ritual of the Mahjarrat when he refuses to lift a finger to aid Zemouregal as he is being assaulted by [[TheDogBitesBack Arrav]]. All the Mahjarrat present, both Zarosian and Zamorakian, immediately stop fighting each other and focus on tearing Lucien a new one.

* FourStarBadass: Leads a sizable army, and has the [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking power to back it up]].

* VillainCred: Yes, [[ItsAllAboutMe Lucien]] can acknowledge people other than himself, who knew? When Kharshai transcribes one of his memories, Lucien states how he once thought of Viggora as a mighty warrior (for a human, at least), and described the general as a pathetic shadow of his former self when he found him trapped in the Shadow Realm while researching the Staff of Armadyl.

* WHodares: "You ''dare'' attack a [[AGodAmI god]]?"

* ViolenceIsTheOnlyOption: Wahisietel decrees that Lucien must not be allowed to survive the next ritual of rejuvenation, and takes every action possible towards ending his life.
