History Characters / SecondApocalypseCharactersIntroducedInTheAspectEmperorTrilogy

* MinorMajorCharacter: Is probably the second most important Nonman in Ishterebinth after the King. He appears in one chapter in ''The Great Ordeal'', but will probably have a larger role in ''The Unholy Consult''.

* NervesOfSteel: Despite the above mentioned InformedAbility, Moënghus willing goes with the Kidruhil pickets to the very edges of the Horde. Not a job for the fainthearted.

* CharacterTic: Soma is described as seeming to blink continuously. You get used to it and it after a while and it just seems normal for him.

* MasterSwordsman: Pokwas, a Zeümi sword-dancer and ScaryBlackMan extraordinaire. Soma also morphs into a killing machine during battle [[spoiler:and this is how Mimara clocks him for a skin-spy.]]

** When the few surviving scalpers finally do reach the dead city, [[spoiler: Galian pulls this one and kills the Captain.]]

* MessianicArchetype: Her Christ-like ''passion'' occurs when Galian is about to rape her, and after gazing upon him with the Judging Eye forgives him for his sinfulness. [[spoiler:This happens again during her dialectic with Koringhus—whom she had insisted they kill because all Dûnyain are unforgivably evil—where after seeing his soul with the Judging Eye she forgives him for his inherent sinfulness]].

* InsistentTerminology: It is blasphemy and sacrilege to question the parentage of the Anasûrimbor. Sorweel mentions how obvious it is that Moënghus isn't Kellhus biological son, but everyone insists that he is a "true-born son of the Anasûrimbor."

* IgnoredExpert: He sees clearly that Sorweel hates the Anasûrimbor, but Serwa ignores him because she can only see the false-love on Sorweel's face from Yatwer. Moënghus insists Sorweel's hate is obvious and clear but Serwa just keeps on ignoring him.

* GuileHero: Is the heir apparent of the only reaming independent nation in Eärwa which poses a credible threat to the New Empire. Is also a hostage-guest in the Great Ordeal, a massive coalition of Zaudunyani zealots. Zsoronga has to be pretty sly when trying to suss out whom he can trust.

[[folder:Anasûrimbor Kayûtas]]
!Anasûrimbor Kayûtas

* MeaningfulName: Kayûtas is probably a Sheyic equivalent of Cayûti. Kellhus can make allusion to the mythic associations of Nau-Cayûti, his ancient ancestor.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: The only time Kayûtas loses his confident demeanor is when he hears Kellhus calling for the Ordeal to retreat from Dagliash.

* WarriorPrince: Is never seen directly fighting, but Kayûtas comports himself like a martial warrior and is the heir to his Father's empire.

* AffectionateNickname: Both Kayûtas and Serwa call him Podi, which means "elder brother" in Sheyic.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: He and Kayûtas.

* CharacterTic: Soma is described as seeming to blink continuously. You used to it and it after a while and it just seems normal for him.

* ShoutOut: Eskeles' name is pronounced the same as Aeschylus, which could hardly be a coincidence considering the other classical references in the series.

* NeutralNoLonger: Malowebi's entire purpose is to judge if Zeüm should become discard their current neutrality and support Fanayal's insurrection.

* UnstoppableRage: Goes into howling rage during his confrontation with [[spoiler:Kellhus]]. Not that it helps him much.

* NeutralNoLonger: Malowebi's entire purpose is to judge if Zeüm should become this and support Fanayal's insurrection.

* BarbarianTribe: The Famiri seem to a rather brutal tribe in the northern highlands of Conriya.

* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Eating sranc makes men act more sranc-like. Sibawûl and his Cepalorae are the best case study for its horrible side effects.

* MeanginfulName: Cleric's real name, Incariol, means "Lord Wanderer" in Ihrimsû.

* BigGood: [[spoiler:Was chief leader and force of good whilst leading the Nonmen to their victory over the Inchoroi. When Gin'yursis spurned humanity as "vermin", Nil'giccas recognized the potential of Mankind and so began the Nonmen Tutelage. Nil'giccas and his Siqû began imparting all the learning, craft, philosophy and sorcery of the Cûnuroi to the scholars and sorcerers of Ancient Ûmerau. Nil'giccas also joined Celmomas II on his Great Ordeal to end the threat of Golgotterath]].

* OhCrap: [[spoiler:When Kellhus teleports into Fanayal's camp, Malowebi responds will appropriate dread]].

* AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: [[spoiler:Believes he is doing this when he commits suicide]]. We can only guess at the truth.

* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:After being sounded by the Judging Eye and contemplating the Zero-God]].

* MadnessMantra: His constant repetition of "cuts and cuts and cuts" can sometimes be a maddened phrase he repeats over and over.

* BigDamnHeroes: Subverted, horribly. The Schoolmen led by Saccarees return to Irsûlor to save the Army of the South. But Carindûsû's friendly fire triggers a complete battle between the Mandate and Vokalati Schools. Without the sorcerers to hold back the Horde, they overrun the remnants of the mundane army.

* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Eating sranc makes men act more sranc-like. Sibawûl and his Cepalorae are the best case study for this.

* WarriorPrince: Is never seen directly fighting, but Kayûtas comports himself like this.

* NeckLift: In the ancient wars against the Inchoroi he could do this to [[OurOgresAreHungrier Bashrag]].

* {{Deuteragonist}}: Is this to Sorweel for the Ishterebinth arc.

* MrExposition: As the sanest Nonmen in Ishterebinth and as Sorweel's Siqû, Oinaral serves this function.

* TheArchmage: Quya don't really have formal schools or sorcerous institutions. But Cilcûliccas is the Master of the Injori Quya, so he is this trope.
* TheMentor: To Oinaral.

* TheFerryman: His job title. He's also this mythical archetype, guiding Oinaral and Sorweel down into the Holy Deep.

* TheFogOfAges: The Tall suffer a variant of this from other Nonman, it's said that they retain their sanity in greater proportion but are also ruled more completely by their violent humors, Oirûnas is no exception.
