* NaiveNewcomer: Although an old and skilled wizard, Eldred is unfamiliar with the new world and needs the gods and Zyzyx to provide him with exposition.
* RetiredMonster: Apparently did some rather morally suspect things in Jhaera in the attempt to keep his empire together.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Fled Jhaera rather than die with the world. [[spoiler:He can choose -- voluntarily -- to leave the ''Sacrifice'' world if one of the evil gods are in charge following Marduk's defeat.]]
* SketchSuccessor: In his own words:
-->'''Eldred:''' I had laboured all my life to build another man's empire. When he died too young, far too young, authority fell to me alone. But I was not as well-liked as he had been.\\
'''Zyzyx:''' 'Despised', more like it...

!!Mithras
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TonyJay
->'''Alignment:''' None
Mithras is a BlindSeer and another planeswalking transplant to the ''Sacrifice'' world, having quickly gained infamy on the plane for his preaching of prophesies that foretell the death of the gods and TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. Eldred comes across Mithras amongst the ruins of the world in the introductory cutscene, and the entire story is Eldred re-telling the events that caused the current state of decay to him.
!!Tropes:
* BlindSeer: Which doesn't translate into any gameplay in multiplayer, though in single player he is presented as exactly as harmless as you'd expect a blind old man to be.
* EscortMission: Will show up as the escortee in James' seventh mission.
* FramingDevice: His conversation with Eldred is the framing for the actual story, with some of the cutscenes being breaks during which Mithras coaxes backstory or Eldred's motivations out of him in the 'current' time-period.
* LouisCypher: [[spoiler:He is one of Marduk's guises, which is discarded in the final mission.]]
* ThePowerOfLegacy: In Persephone or James' end, Eldred will tell the world that Mithras should be remembered as a hero for telling the truth without fear for himself, [[spoiler:essentially treating him as a separate person from Marduk.]]
* ProphecyTwist: His prophecy comes true in the end, but not in the way he'd probably intended it.
* SecretCharacter: Unlocked in multiplayer by getting Persephone or James' ending in the campaign.

!!Persephone, Goddess of Life
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JenniferHale
'''Realm:''' Elysium
'''Followers:''' The Faithful
'''Champion:''' Yogo
Goddess of Life, Persephone is the sole woman in Sacrifice's FantasyPantheon and its most prominent benevolent deity (though in a considerably more hands-on and pushy manner than James). She is the first deity to offer Eldred sanctuary in the campaign and forms an alliance with James and Stratos against Pyro and Charnel due to the former's invasion.
!!Tropes:
*{{God Is Dead}}BenevolentBoss: Her Faithful seem to genuinely love her, and she (and by extension Eldred) offers redemption to many of the foes you meet during her campaign.
* ColourCodedArmies: All her units are of a prominent green colour, including the humanoid Fyllid, and her faction colour is green during campaign.
* TheComicallySerious: Like Pyro she has practically no sense of humour at all, and like Pyro the game delights in playing the more light-hearted gods against her because of it.
* HealingFactor: All of Persephone's Faithful slowly regenerate HitPoints even when moving (other gods' only do it when idle). Her trolls do it particularly fast.
* HealingHand: As the Goddess of Life, Persephone has ''tons'' of healing spells.
* IncrediblyLamePun: Makes one about her "Rain of Frogs" spell in the manual, noting that it isn't FriendlyFireProof and you should keep your units out of it lest they croak (and then immediately apologizes for it).
* PurpleProse: Her part of the manual is written almost entirely in this.
* RightlySelfRighteous: She will ''never'' shut up about the 'righteousness of her cause', but Persephone also seems to talk the talk as she repeatedly offers negotiation and redemption to those willing to grasp for it.
* RoyalWe: Constantly uses it, complete with the 'We' or 'Us' constantly being capitalized. Stratos will lampshade just how pretentious it makes her sound during his sixth mission.
* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:She is the only God that won't contact Eldred after mission nine, implying Marduk killed her during your attack of Thryring, but her death isn't explicitly stated.]]

God of Earth. Y'know, rocks and soil and stuff. James is the most grounded (heh) member of the FantasyPantheon and offers Eldred a place in his realm if he'll help him clear out some messes for him. Said messes eventually devolve into full-out war, causing James to partner up with Persephone in the hope of putting an end to things fast.
!!Tropes:
* BenevolentBoss: Much more hands-off than Persephone, but no less fond of his followers.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Unlike Persephone James isn't much into 'redemption'. If you get him angry, he goes for the kill.
* BuffySpeak: Fond of it in his part of the manual.

'''PROLOGUE (From the Game's Manual)'''
"''Being an excerpt from the Book of the Fyllid''"
In the beginning there was the Creator. Where there was naught but the cold void, the Creator gave of his flesh, and thus was all matter born. Where all was dark, the Creator spread his arms and gave light, thus was born the stars, the moons, and the suns. Where there was naught but silence and loneliness, the Creator did spill his blood, causing the very beginnings of life.
This life manifested in a multitude of forms, from the ancient behemoths of Thryhring to our own people, the Fyllid. In those times we were the chosen of the creator, the keepers of the lesser beasts and defenders of all the realms. As befit our role as his primary servants, the creator gifted us with power. The

Heroes
It was then that the Fallen One, he whose name must not be spoken, tore asunder the earth. In the land of Golgotha, profaning and defying the very laws of nature, the Fallen One opened a permanent gateway from this world to the demonic realms of the nether. The strain of opening this unnatural portal took its toll upon the world and the earth began to shatter. The Fyllid and all of creation watched in stunned silence as the benevolent Creator warred with the Demons of the nether, but the forces of hell proved too much for even he. A cry of unspeakable anguish broke the silence and echoed in the minds of his children as the creator was forever banished from this existence. None of his children heard the cry so loudly as the Fyllid, for it was one of our own that had ultimately betrayed and murdered our master. Most were driven mad and hurled themselves from one of the newly formed floating islands or sat useless, gibbering and moaning.
For a time the Fyllid wandered these new realms seeking signs of our former master. What was discovered was the stuff of nightmares. The creatures of the land began to warp and twist, the very land was changing. The home realm of the Fyllid, known as Elysium, grew lush and green, seeming to welcome us, even after the horrible betrayal of the Creator. So too did the other lands twist, the high reaches of Empyria grew cold and desolate; the lush, sweltering lands of Helios erupted with liquid hot magma while the arid Glebe grew even more rocky and barren. Most terrible of all were the blasted lands of Dys, which lay near Golgotha. These lands grew pestilent and the very earth rotted.
Five new Gods appeared to take the place of the Creator. Of the five it was our Lady Persephone who took us in. Grateful were we that any God would accept us into their fold and ever since we have served our Lady faithfully. We stand guard against the enemies of our Lady. We are ever vigilant, for it is the Fyllid who know intimately the price of failure.
