History Characters / Runescape

* DropTheHammer: The buyable version of her equipment includes a warhammer weapon override, [[spoiler: she wields a warhammer and shield as a Barrows Wight]], and her combat animations in ''Chronicle'' confirm that she uses a warhammer.

* BonusBoss: [[spoiler:Of the Barrows as Linza the Disgraced, after Kindred Spirits. She's harder to kill than the other seven brothers combined, but her gear is far stronger than theirs. Fortunately, you have to go out of your way to awaken her, and actually defeating her gives you a chance at getting that gear for yourself...]]

* DefectorFromDecadence: In both versions, he's grown disgusted with the vampyre aristocracy and wants to return to being a feral hunter on Vampyrium.

* AnythingThatMoves: The guy is a shameless flirt.

* {{Metaphorgotten}}: In the Legends' Guild, Sir Owen mentions that a guardian [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Icyene]] must have been watching over him during one adventure. Ozan's only question: [[AnythingThatMoves is Sir Owen's guardian Icyene a hottie?]]

!!Evil Dave

A Zamorakian who is bizarrely obsessed with evilness. Lives in his mother's basement.

* BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad: He's very gung-ho about his evil-ness and shows it by speaking this way.
* BasementDweller: He still lives in his mom's basement.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: When he ends up in the Adventurer's body, he hopes to impress Zamorak by involving himself in Zamorak's ancient dispute with Saradomin. It didn't occur to him just how serious the situation might get, and he runs away in horror when it leads to Saradomin and Zamorak's knights getting killed.
* CloudCuckoolander: He can be rather out there with his evilness spiel.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: A possibly unintentional one: During "Evil Dave's Big Day Out", he somehow manages to get into Zamorak's hidden base beneath Daemonheim all by himself. While the game heavily recommends you complete Dishonor Among Thieves first (which gives the player an object to teleport there), it's possible to start the quest without doing that one first, meaning the player has no way into the base. This means that Dave managed to fend off the horrors of Daemonheim, solve a ton of puzzles, and descend a grand total of 60 floors, all by ''himself''. In what could have only been a ''few hours''.
* ADayInTheLimelight: He's the focus of the "Evil Dave's Big Day Out" quest, where he [[FreakyFridayFlip body swaps]] with the Adventurer after a ritual goes wrong, and goes to meet with Zamorak in the guise of the World Guardian, hoping the god of chaos will reciprocate his "evilness".
* GirlsWithMoustaches: During the "Evil Dave's Big Day Out" quest, his body is temporarily converted into one as a disguise so that the adventurer can sneak into the city while stuck in his body.
* HarmlessVillain: According to Gypsy Aris, this is the reason Evil Dave is part of the Lumbridge Castle Secret Society. They're contractually obligated to have a TokenEvilTeammate, but they didn't want anyone who could cause actual ''problems''.
* IneptMage: Has been trying to summon demons in his basement, but all he has managed to summon are harmless Hellrats.
* LargeHam: Just listen to his ramblings about evil.
* NiceGuy: In spite of his obsession with evilness, he's a great guy, and can't stand violence (which makes him faint) or vandalism.
* PokeThePoodle: This is his brand of evil. When he's confronted with genuine evil, [[EvenEvilHasStandards he's rather disturbed.]] This is the reason why he was chosen to be part of the Lumbridge Council, as the council in question needed to include a dark wizard and they did not desire one that was a major threat such as Solus Dellagar.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Spicy Stew, or as he calls it "EVIL STEW [[DoomyDoomsOfDoom OF DOOM]]." In Evil Dave's subquest of ''Recipe for Disaster'' the player must figure out exactly right amount of spices to make his favourite stew though a trial and error puzzle.
* YourAnswerToEverything: His livelihood heavily revolves around harping on about evilness.

!!Wise Old Man AKA Dionysius

A retired adventurer who resides in Draynor Village.

* AffectionateNickname: Zenevivia, Xenia, and Elsie address him as "Dissy".
* BankRobbery: His most infamous caper in which he attacked and robbed Draynor Bank, and the same incident where he got his blue party hat.
* BattleCouple: With Zenevivia.
* CameraAbuse: When he robs the bank, he smashes the camera to end the cutscene.
* DudeWheresMyReward: Feels that the people of Gielinor owe him compensation after heroic acts in the past.
* KidHero: He started adventuring at the age of 15.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: His attempt to rob the Wizards' Tower alongside Zenevivia goes well at first... until Traiborn somehow summons a Thingummywut, which overwhelms the pair with a barrage of Earth Surges. With no hope of fighting back against said monstrosity, they quickly teleport out of harm's way.
* RetiredBadass: Used to be a hero, but now resides in a cluttered house full of stolen treasures in Draynor Village.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveSupernaturalPowers: Abuses his powers to murder innocents and break into the Draynor Village bank simply because he feels he is entitled to a greater reward. It's also hinted that his next target is the Wizards' Tower to the south, [[spoiler:which he and his girlfriend Zenevivia promptly go and attack after they are reunited. It fails miserably.]]
* UnscrupulousHero: Despite being a good guy, he has no qualms about using his power to break the law for his own gain.
* WalkingTheEarth: In his youth, he wandered the globe in search of adventure.

!![[TheGrimReaper Death]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/harold_death_esquire.png]]

A Guardian of Guthix and guide of souls to the underworld. He is responsible for freeing the souls of the dead from their bodies when they die so they can move on.

* BadassInDistress: "Missing, Presumed Death" kicks off with Death going missing (as he is abducted by Sliske), and you and Icthlarin work together to find out what happened to him after encountering the souls of a few monks who are unable to pass on properly.
* BlackCloak: The Edicts of Guthix decreed that he must always wear one.
* DeathsHourglass: Depicted with one of these in the "Living on Borrowed Time" emote.
* DemBones: Is composed of bones, and is one of the Guardians of Guthix.
* DontFearTheReaper: Despite his menacing appearance, he's actually very friendly.
* GameOverMan: You are sent to his office when you die, and he retrieves your lost items for you. However, he charges you a fee to return them back to your possession. He explains the mechanics of dying the first time you visit his office.
* GodJob: As the first person to die on Gielinor, he was appointed by Guthix as Gielinor's guide of souls to the underworld, but other worlds have their own.
* HonorBeforeReason: Vows to not allow [[spoiler:Icthlarin]] to experience a painful end, not giving a damn that it goes against his oath to Guthix.
* HorsemenOfTheApocalypse: One of the five founders and the leader of a clan known as The Horsemen.
* PetMonstrosity: Owns a skeletal hellhound known as Muncher.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: If you ask for [[spoiler:Ichtlarin's]] fate in "Sliske's Endgame", it turns out the poor guy is slated for a very painful end. Death states he will NOT allow that to happen, even if it means breaking his oath to Guthix.
* SpecialPersonNormalName: His true name is Harold.
* SinisterScythe: He uses it to release souls from the bodies of the deceased.
* WouldYouLikeToHearHowTheyDied: As the one responsible for ferrying mortal souls to the afterlife, by concentrating he can discern the fashion in which a person is fated to die. [[spoiler:In "Sliske's Endgame", due to the gods being BroughtDownToNormal within the labyrinth, he can sense how they will die, something that is normally impossible due to gods forfeiting an afterlife upon ascension. He will divulge to you the fate of one god of your choice.]]

!!Thok
An extremely powerful Fremmenik warrior who helps them guard Daemonheim.
----
* BadassCape: Possesses the Dungeoneering Skillcape but cannot wear it since he has no evidence he reached the bottom floor of Daemonheim.
* BashBrothers: Was this with Marmaros.
%%* BoisterousBruiser
* CoolSword: His Primal Two-handed Sword, the strongest weapon available in Daemonheim, was a gift from Divine Skinweaver.
* DumbMuscle: He possesses enough raw strength to literally smash most of Daemonheim's defenses, but is reliant on Marmaros to deal with tricker challenges.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: When he loses his Primal 2h during Thok Your Block Off, he uses [[RunningGag heim crabs]] as weapons.
* InterspeciesRomance: Has feelings for a Divine Skinweaver who he nicknames "Pretty Lass".
* MookHorrorShow: The forces of Bilrach react with absolute horror every time they see him and they keep resorting to desperate gambits that fail each and every time.
* TrueCompanions: With his little brother, Marmaros.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He is one of the mightiest melee fighters in the entire world, and yet he is absolutely terrified of ordinary ferrets.
* WorldsStrongestMan: According to the WordOfGod.

!!Nomad
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nomad_concept_art.jpg]]
A mage of incredible might who created the Soul Wars minigame.
----

* [[Characters/RuneScapeLumbridge Lumbridge]]
* [[Characters/RuneScapeVarrock Varrock]]

* RatedMForManly: A well-built Fremmenik warrior who is said to have conquered the entirety of Daemonheim with brute strength.

* TheFaceless: His face has never been seen. Justified, as he refuses to take off his armour.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: Since he has never been seen without his concealing armour, it currently is unknown if he is a human or something else. WordOfGod has said that they originally planned to reveal him to be [[spoiler:[[DraconicHumanoid a dragonkin]]]] but they may have dropped this plan, so currently his species is in a SchrodingersGun situation.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In "Dimension of Disaster", Zemouregal's treasure horde includes The Raptor's armour, but examining it specifically suggests The Raptor himself survived and escaped the encounter.

* OddFriendship: He's friends with the King Black Dragon.
* [[spoiler: WasOnceAMan]]

* RightfulKingReturns: {{Subverted||Trope}}. [[spoiler:You bring him back [[KingInTheMountain from his statue in Baxtorian Falls]], and he very reluctantly becomes the leader of LaResistance, but he wholly believes that the Elven monarchy should have died when he fled Tirannwn. When the Elven Civil War is brought to an end, he demotes himself to Lord and rules equally with the rest of the council.]]

An important character in the ''Old School'' version of the Elf Quest Series, [[spoiler:The original king of the elves who was from a time when Seren was still alive, King Baxtorian ruled over Prifddinas and was a close friend and confidant of Seren's. After the God Wars ended, King Baxtorian fought against Lord Iorwerth back when the latter was rising to power, due to him discovering a part of Seren was still alive when Baxtorian was away trying to make an eastern kingdom and trying to help the increasingly-anxious elves rediscover a sense of stability. By the time Baxtorian returned, Prifddinas' elves were so dissatisfied with him that he ended up trying (and failing) to regain control by seiging the city. After that, his more recent eastern kingdom was nearly destroyed and his wife abducted in his absense. After a failed attempt to rescue her, he turned himself to stone out of despair, hoping she would be the one to wake him. Come Song of the Elves, you awaken him from his petrification and recruit him into joining you]].

* FailureHero: [[spoiler:Most of what's known about him are his failures, which he admits to. Not always openly]].

An enigmatic and powerful warrior, he is an avid hunter and features prominently in the quest "Song from the Depths".
