2	----
3
4	[[folder: Andriel]]
5	* ActionGirl
6	* BadassBookworm: Andriel as an elven loremaster and capable mage.
7	* MagicKnight: Her staff is useful both as a [[MagicStaff channel for her magic]] and as a [[MartialArtsStaff melee weapon]].
8
9	[[/folder]]
10
11	[[folder: Eradan]]
12	* DualWielding: Has a pair of knives.
13	* {{Expy}}: He's essentially just Aragorn even down to being a Ranger who is good friends with both an elf and a dwarf.
14
15	[[/folder]]
16
17	[[folder: Farin]]
18	* MightyGlacier: He's not as fast as his companions, but makes up for it with raw strength.
19	* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: Not surprising, since he's in the [[TropeCodifier trope-codifying]] universe. He even has a name taken from the ''Edda'". His use of a crossbow also fits the modern "classic dwarf" image of using more "technical" weapons than other races, even though Tolkien's dwarves were never said to use them.
20	* PintSizePowerhouse
21
22	[[/folder]]
23
24	[[folder: Beleram]]
25	* DistressedDude: Introduced as one. He's been captured by goblins in Fornost. Naturally, the trio must rescue him.
26	* GiantFlyer: He's a giant eagle.
27	* HeroicSacrifice: Gravely injured due to various events in the game, he offers to help you in the final boss fight. If he does it, he'll deal a ton of damage to Agandaûr, but will die in the process. There's an achievement for being able to keep him alive, too.
28	* NobleBirdOfPrey
29	* TalkingAnimal: Justified, as eagles in Middle-earth are fully sentient.
30
31	[[/folder]]
32
33	[[folder: Agandaûr]]
34	* BigBad: He's the villain who drives the main plot.
35	** BigBadWannabe: He wants to be Lord of the North, but is still a vassal to Sauron. He even answers to the Witch King despite thinking they're on equal terms.
36	* CoolMask: His outfit includes a metal visor, though it only partially obscures his face.
37	* {{Expy}}: He's basically [[VideoGame/TheLordOfTheRingsOnline Mordrambor, with a bit of Amarthiel and Mordirith]] [[CompositeCharacter thrown in for good measure]].
38	* EvilSoundsDeep: Has a smooth, deep baritone.
39	* MagicKnight: He's adept at both magic and swordplay, but seems to specialize in the former.
40	* PowerFloats: In the second half of his boss fight, he levitates off the ground while casting lightning at the heroes.
41	* SoftSpokenSadist: He always keeps his voice low; the closest he comes to a VillainousBreakdown is at the end, when the heroes confront him in Carn Dum. Even then, his (vocal) reaction is more one of annoyance than full-on rage.
42
43	[[/folder]]
44
45	[[folder: Urgost]]
46	* BullyingADragon: You can certainly taunt him, although it won't get you anywhere. Bonus points for him being ''a literal dragon''.
47	* InvincibleVillain: Downplayed. While Urgost is not mighty by dragon standards (he's weaker than Smaug, who was the last of the great dragons and, according to Tolkien, any surviving dragons after that were lesser in might), the main characters state they have ''no idea'' how to kill Urgost beyond "throw everything they have at him and hope for the best." When they confront him, both sides know they don't stand a chance against him and Urgost needs their help.
48	* NeutralEvil: Urgost will help Agandaûr rather than refuse Sauron and he is a dragon ([[OurDragonsAreDifferent since dragons were made by Sauron's former master]]), but when the protagonists confront him, he is quick to make a deal with them; he won't help Agandaûr if they kill Agandaûr and let Urgost have treasure-filled city of Caran Dum.
49	* TheUnfought: When confronting him, you never actually fight him. Urgost is mainly there for the heroes to have one more reason to combat Agandaûr; since Urgost's loyalty can be bought with Carn Dum itself, deposing Agandaûr would leave the fortress open for occupation, causing the dragon to leave Middle-earth at large alone. Since, in this setting, Dragons are supposedly stronger than Balrogs it'd be a good idea not to challenge him.
