* BiggerBad: The fallen god Entropy is the one responsible of Expirius' corruption, but it's the latter's actions that drive the plot.

%%* RapeAsBackstory: [[spoiler:Julia]] has it, and it seems to have heavily damaged her psyche.

** Meredith, Julia, and Vixen are all competent fighters in their own rights. Meredith and Julia are {{Combat Medic}}s, Vixen is a summoner and a BadassPrincess.

* Jerkass:

* [[spoiler:Similarly, Gerovitus also tries to go out on his own terms by dying to the party in battle, only to become an undead servant too.]]

* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: [[spoiler:Nergal, a member of the Invincible Four, once tried to kill himself in order to avoid experiencing Expirius's apocalypse. Unfortunately, he ended up being brought back as an undead servant. Similarly, Gerovitus also tries to go out on his own terms by dying to the party in battle, only to become an undead servant too.]]

** Commander Lysander, in spite of working for the Valiantide, is a very unpleasant person.

%%** [[spoiler:Both Azrael and Cirus]] are killed in older versions of the game, only to be [[SparedByTheAdaptation spared by v3.30]].
%%** [[spoiler:Logan, one of the few reasonable Valiantide leaders, is killed in Expirius's assault on the Triangle Island Base.]]

%%* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:The Cirigoth Empire and Tyr-Anon]] were this for Expirius and [[spoiler:Altair]].

%%* YouCantThwartStageOne: Of course Expirius is going to reappear in the real world.

%%* DiscOneFinalDungeon: The War of the Eclipse, and again with Nemus Aevum forest.

%%* EmptyRoomPsych: Tyr-Anon castle, [[spoiler:after being abandoned]], becomes very confusing and paranoia-inducing.

%%* FauxAffablyEvil: The NPC, Hammond, reveals that Altair truly enjoys the suffering of others underneath his suave exterior.

%%* GunNut: Dynamo, big time.

%%* HopelessBossFight: One against [[spoiler:Altair]] early on, and two with [[spoiler:Expirius. In v3.30, the first fight with Expirius was cut out]].
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Depending on Glen's dialogue choices with potential love interests, the girl that doesn't win can feel this way[[spoiler:, as shown during Entropy's MindRape sequence where he taunts them about their unrequited love.]]
%%* ImAHumanitarian: Aegir's lieutenant.
%%* Jerkass: Commander Lysander is hardly a likeable person. General Aries is also a massive dick towards his own allies.

* SuicideByCop: A possible interpretation of [[spoiler:Gerovitus]]'s decision to fight against the heroes after their [[spoiler:brief EnemyMine moment]] insteand of cooperating further. He knew Altair was going to kill him anyway because he knew too much, so he decided to die by his own terms in a fight instead of waiting for Altair to silence him.

%%* AdaptationNameChange: The game's 3.30 version renamed Brad to Azrael.

* BigBadassBattleSequence: The Battle at the White Gate, and a much bigger, playable one with the War of the Eclipse are two long sequences of battle.

%%* ProfessorGuineaPig: Ament.
%%* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: General Gerovitus of Tyr-Anon has shades of this.

%%* LaResistance: the Valiantide.
%%* TheRevolutionWillNotBeVilified: Averted, as the Valiantide sometimes use decidedly questionable methods in their struggle against the Cirigoth empire, a few warriors in their ranks have been reported to commit full-fledged criminal acts, and one of the higher-ups you get to meet is an unbelievable {{Jerkass}}. Not so extreme, however, that it counts as TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized.

%%* SacrificialLamb: [[spoiler:Eve, Justin]]'s fiancee.

%%* StraightEdgeEvil: Tyr-Anox law has a rather reactionary mindset.

* ThePaladin: Cirus the Great is a textbook case.
