History Characters / SkyrimDLC

* TheTeam: The main members of the Dawnguard form this dynamic, should you choose to side with them.
** Isran as TheLeader, the guy who reforms the Dawnguard in the first place.
** Gunmar, a former associate of Isran's whose relative friendliness balances out Isran's abrasive personality, serves as TheLancer.
** Sorine, the resident GadgeteerGenius and one of the more CrazyPrepared of the bunch, is the [[TheSmartGuy Smart Girl.]]
** The Dragonborn themselves serves as TheBigGuy; being Skyrim's resident OneManArmy, they do most of the heavy lifting.
** Florentius, the quirky expert on Restoration magic who may or may not be getting valuable information for the group from Arkay, serves as TheFace.
** Serana, after she turns DefectorFromDecadence and joins up, serves as a SixthRanger. She is initially not trusted due to being a vampire, but after she demonstrates her dedication to stopping Harkon, even Isran warms up to her and she stays with the Dawnguard even after the main plot is finished.

* AllForNothing: [[spoiler: Despite his wish of [[SuicideByCop being slain by the Dragonborn]] to go to [[WarriorHeaven Sovngarde]], he doesn't seem to realise Sovngarde is a ''Nordic'' afterlife, while he is a ''Redguard''. Sure enough, should you (somehow) not have done the main questline by that point and actually reach Sovengarde, he doesn't appear at all, making his entire death pointless.]]

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Heck, even "Ebony Warrior" isn't much of a moniker; it's just how your character identifies him thanks to his equipment.
** Also seems to be an AppropriatedAppellation, as one of his battle cries is "I am the Ebony Warrior!"

* AllForNothing: [[spoiler: Despite his wish of [[SuicideByCop being slain by the Dragonborn]] to go to [[WarriorHeaven Sovengarde]], he doesn't seem to realise Sovengarde is a ''Nordic'' afterlife, while he is a ''Redguard''.

* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: He isn't just an almost extinct Ancient Snow Elf, he's [[spoiler: an ''Ancient Snow Elf Vampire'']]. The chances of another of his kind running around are extremly low if not altright nonexistent.

* DevourTheDragon: [[spoiler: During the final battle, Miraak will kill and absorb the soul of his former mount Sahrotaar to gain power.]]

* IronicDeath: [[spoiler: If you sacrifice him to Boethiah, it certainly serves as poetic justice to him sacrificing others to Ahzidal]].

* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: He isn't just an almost extinct Ancient Snow Elf, he's [[an ''Ancient Snow Elf Vampire'']]. The chances of another of his kind running around are extremly low if not altright nonexistent.

** [[spoiler:Played straight, however, if one decides to side with the vampires, as one side mission involves raiding the castle where he will be killed.]]

* TheExtremistWasRight: It's like this trope was made for him.
* GoodIsNotNice: The other tropes have probably told you that.

* ArcherArchetype: He is very good at archery, stealth and light armor.

* DropTheHammer: Wields a two-handed warhammer.

* DropTheHammer: Her default weapon is a two-handed warhammer.

* DropTheHammer: He holds the Champion's Cudgel, a very powerful enchanted warhammer which randomly inflicts fire, frost or shock damage each time it strikes. It's also the only guaranteed drop with that enchantment (which is otherwise very rare), and can be disenchanted to learn it.

* GutturalGrowler: As part of the ContinuityNod, Jeff Baker is brought back to provide his original Dunmer voice from ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]''.

* MythologyGag: Skritch can be equipped with a backpack, making it closely resemble a Pack Rat from ''Morrowind'' or a Mournhold Packrat from ''Online''.

* BullyingADragon: Messing with the the family of someone who's essentially a PhysicalGod? Not the brightest of ideas. Bonus points because said badass is technically a [[JustForPun Dragon in spirit]].

A goblin hunter from Cyrodiil and an apparent champion of Hircine who has been sentenced to death for discovering the truth about his tribe's new leader, the supposed Blue God, posing as an aspect of Malacath through the use of blue dye. The Dragonborn is able to free them and take them on as a follower, he wields the legendary Spear of Bitter Mercy.

* LostInTranslation: Asking to trade items with him results in him gifting the player with a skull.

* TheUnintelligible: Not a word of his dialogue can be understood by the player.

[[folder:Thoron]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sr_npc_thoron_1_5.jpg]]
A Breton mage whose meddling between the barriers between Nirn and the Shivering Isles threatened to plunge Skyrim into madness. He became obsessed with Mania, a region in the Shivering Isles the realm of the Daedric Prince of Madness Sheogorath, after discovering an artifact from the realm. He then tries to bring over more artifacts using magic and began hiring bandits to seek them out, so he could use them to find a way to get to the Realm. Eventually, he obtained the Sword of Jyggalag, giving him the power he needed. His madness comes to a head when he begins using magic to try to bring Mania to him, causing the Shivering Isles to bleed into the sewers of Solitude.

* BigBad: Of the Saints and Seducers questline, as he is the one behind the titular bandit clans.
* DrivenToMadness: His obsession with the realm of the Mad God naturally leads to this. His journals become more and more nonsensical as they progress.
* FlunkyBoss: He teleports around and summons Golden Saints and Dark Seducers to assist him during the fight.
* NakedPeopleAreFunny: He wears nothing except his helmet and a loincloth, a consequence of him wearing the "Ring of Disrobing", a joke item originally from Oblivion's Shivering Isles DLC, which unequips any armor.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: He ultimately only wanted to be able to live in Mania, but his actions could have spelled disaster for the two realms if he had succeeded.
