| 10 | ---- |
| 11 | * ExperiencedProtagonist: Baran asks for his help because he is the one with better battle experience. He later mentions how he has seen enough of the world to know that Grey Woods are filled with hostile elves, not haunted like villagers used to say. |

| 13 | !!Baran |
| 14 | ->'''Class:''' Red Mage |
| 15 | A mage from Maghre and Arvith's brother. |
| 16 | ---- |
| 17 | * DecoyProtagonist: The intro introduces and follows him first instead of Arvith and switches to his point-of-view for a while, but he goes off-screen almost immediately in the first scenario and only appears at the end of the penultimate one. |
| 18 | * DistressedDude: He is captured by the undead off-screen and most of the campaign is about Arvith rescuing him. |
| 19 | * PlayingWithFire: As a Red Mage, his primary attack is shooting fireballs toward his enemy. It's revealed that he burned the BigBad's face this way. |

| 24 | ---- |
| 25 | * EpicFlail: He weilds a flail for bashing undead. |
| 26 | * MightyGlacier: Has the subpar 4-movement points of a normal Iron Mauler, which pales in comparison to Arvith and his horseman, but deals massive damage per strike. One of your horseman points out his slowness as a reason to reject him. |
| 27 | * OptionalPartyMember: Although you would probably welcome him to the group for being a loyal level-3 unit, you can reject his offer, although he will help you by giving you gold and new recruits anyway. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | !!Tairach |
| 30 | ->'''Class:''' Orcish Warlord |
| 31 | An orcish warlord that Arvith and Baran once fought at Toen Caric. He attacks Maghre at the last scenario. |
| 32 | ---- |
| 33 | * FacialHorror: It's [[InformedAttribute merely mentioned]] since he is masked the whole time he is seen, but his face is burned by Baran at Toen Caric and he is vengeful about the disfigurement. |

| 42 | * CarryABigStick: Starting with level 2, he starts using a flanged mace to fight. |
| 43 | * FieryRedhead: Not easily noticeable, but he has red hair underneath his helmet, and his temper is pretty fiery as well. |
| 44 | * GlassCannon: Being a mounted hero makes him really easy to hit. In addition, starting with level 2, his spear has a [[DeathOrGloryAttack Charge]] trait. |
| 45 | * KnightInShiningArmor: He has the horse, the armor, the lance and the heroic attitude coupled with a genuine desire to do good and help his people. |
| 46 | %%* NiceGuy |
| 47 | |
| 48 | !!Sir Gerrick |
| 49 | ->'''Class:''' Infantry Lieutenant -> Infantry Commander |
| 50 | A commander of the South Guard. |
| 51 | ---- |
| 52 | * HeroicSacrifice: If you choose to side with the Afalas, and the bandits in the Grey Woods, he and the surviving Urza brother will make a last stand against the incoming undead to buy enough time to Deoran. |
| 53 | * TheLancer: To Deoran. |
| 54 | * LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: His level 3 unit can even [[ShieldBash use said shield as a battering ram]]. |
| 55 | * MightyGlacier: Has low movement and low defense on most terrain types, but a ton of health and very high physical damage resistances. |
| 56 | |

| 59 | The Minister of Kerlath, he's a White Mage. |

| 64 | ** At level 3 he also lights up surrounding hexes, which helps at night and when underground. |
| 65 | * TheMedic: The main reason why he's so useful. |
| 66 | |
| 67 | !!Ethiliel |
| 68 | ->'''Class:''' Elvish Shyde |

| 72 | * GreenThumb: Can manipulate thorns and vines. |
| 73 | * LawfulStupid: She has several sticks up her fairy ass. |
| 74 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:If you decide to forgive the bandits, she'll ditch you.]] |
| 75 | * WingedHumanoid: Has fairy wings due to being a Shyde. It actually has a very tangible effect in gameplay, as she is not slowed by most of the terran. |
| 76 | |
| 77 | !!Mebrin |
| 78 | An Elven Sage who may know something about the unliving but went missing. |
| 79 | ---- |
| 80 | * BigBad: [[spoiler:He's behind the Undead plague.]] |
| 81 | * FinalBoss: [[spoiler:If you side with bandits, he is your final foe. Even if you side with elves, he is the last actual boss, as the levels that follow have MooksButNoBosses.]] |
| 82 | * JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: [[spoiler:If you sided with the Elves, its revealed he was heavily tortured by humans and forced to create zombies. That turned him insane. This isn't delved if you sided with Afalas.]] |
| 83 | * OldMaster: To Ethiliel, which is why she's determinated to save him. |
| 84 | * TheUndead: [[spoiler: Taught bandits how to summon undead after they tortured him, and by the time he is seen, he himself has become an Ancient Lich.]] |
| 85 | * MeaningfulRename: [[spoiler:Calls himself Mal M'Brin after becoming a Lich.]] |
| 86 | * WakeUpCallBoss: [[spoiler: Will most likely be the first ''Level 4'' enemy to appear, and will kick your ass in every way possible if you let him.]] |
| 87 | * WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: [[spoiler:In the Elf path, his undead rampage is revealed to be totally caused by the [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters bandits]].]] |
| 88 | |
| 89 | !!Eltenmir |
| 90 | ->'''Class:''' Elvish Outrider |
| 91 | A powerful elf warrior of the south. Does not trust humans at all. |
| 92 | ---- |
| 93 | * CantArgueWithElves: The humans and Etheliel can't convince him that his revenge is unnecessary as the bandits [[spoiler:who killed Mebrin]] are dead. It takes another, higher-ranking elf to calm him down and yet he still demands unreasonable justice. |
| 94 | * JerkAss: When he hears that Mebrin was kidnapped [[spoiler:and killed]] by humans, he starts murdering innocent farmers. |
| 95 | * KnightTemplar: As seen above, he's willing to exact vengeance on all humans, even innocent ones who never even heard of Melbrin. |
| 96 | * UngratefulBastard: [[spoiler:Deoran just saved everyone's ass by stopping Mal M'brin, and he still wants to kill everyone.]] |
| 97 | * TheUnfought: He doesn't appear among his troops. |
| 98 | |
| 99 | !!Urza Afalas |
| 100 | ->'''Class:''' Outlaw -> Fugitive |
| 101 | An outlaw leader forced into the forests and longing to return to civilization, even with lying. Somehow a normal person having a peasant's cunning. |
| 102 | ---- |
| 103 | * TheAtoner: If you side with him over the elves, he will help Deoran's group get out of the dark forest out of desire to atone. |
| 104 | * CarryABigStick: He uses a mace. |
| 105 | * HeelFaceTurn: Was one of the bandits who kidnapped Mebrin and forces him to raise undead fighters for them. But since Mebrin has gone mad and used the undead to attack the outlaws too, Afalas choose to side with heroes when we meet him. But whether Deoran accept his HeelFaceTurn or attacks him for his crime is up to the player. |
| 106 | * IOweYouMyLife: Why he does the YouShallNotPass moment in addition to believing it's the only he can atone. |
| 107 | * RedemptionEqualsDeath: The South Guard accepts that his atonement was genuine after they get out of the forest. In the next scenario, he does a HeroicSacrifice. |
| 108 | * YouShallNotPass: He dies holding back Mebrin's forces so that Deoran can make it to Westin. |
| 109 | [[/folder]] |
| 110 | |
| 111 | [[folder:''Liberty'']] |
| 112 | !!Baldras |
| 113 | ->'''Class:''' Village Elder -> Senior Village Elder (at first)/Bandit -> Highwayman (later) |
| 114 | An old woodsman and the protagonist of ''Liberty''. He revolts against Queen Asheviere's unjust orders and starts a rebellion against her. |
| 115 | ---- |
| 116 | * AntiHero: Of ClassicalAntiHero variety, he only became a rebel due to his protests against the increasingly authoritarian rule of [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Queen Asheviere]] and subjugation of the borderlands' magistrates even to those pledge allegiance to her. |
| 117 | * CarryABigStick: He fights with a mace. In most recent versions he starts with a club but can obtain a melee boost in the second scenario by recovering his personal mace from his home. |
| 118 | * CoolOldGuy: Not a wizard or an experienced commander, just an old man who wants to protect his home. |
| 119 | * GameplayAndStoryIntegration: At first he's just a villager, thus his alignment is neutral. When he actually rebels against Asheviere, his class is renamed and his alignment changes to chaotic. |
| 120 | * LaResistance: Leads one against Asheviere. |
| 121 | |
| 122 | !!Harper |
| 123 | ->'''Class:''' Peasant Youth -> Watchman -> Borderer (at first)/Footpad -> Outlaw -> Fugitive (later) |
| 124 | A young villager and Baldras' nephew. Acts as a deuteragonist of ''Liberty''. |
| 125 | ---- |
| 126 | * CarryABigStick: Uses a club in combat. |
| 127 | * GameplayAndStoryIntegration: Same as his uncle - after the rebellion begins, his class is renamed, and his alignment changes from neutral to chaotic. |
| 128 | * HotBlooded: This kid is pretty impulsive and is always up for a fight. |
| 129 | * MyRulesAreNotYourRules: Surprisingly enough it works in player's favor, as Harper not only has three traits (while most units are stuck with two), one of said traits is Dexterous, which is normally exclusive to elves. |
| 130 | * SufferTheSlings: His other weapon. It's surprisingly effective thanks to Harper's Dexterous (+1 ranged damage) trait. |
| 131 | [[/folder]] |
| 132 | |
| 133 | [[folder:''Heir to the Throne'']] |
| 134 | |
| 135 | !!Konrad |
| 136 | [[quoteright:231:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/konrad_human_2.png]] |
| 137 | !!!'''Class:''' Fighter -> Warrior (Tutorial)/Commander (Heir to the Throne) -> Lord |
| 138 | |
| 139 | ->''"Asheviere’s masterwork of treachery will end, and it will end by my blade!"'' |
| 140 | |
| 141 | The main hero of the saga, and rightful heir to the throne of Wesnoth. He was saved by Delfador and raised by the elves, waiting for the day he would retake the throne from Asheviere, the Queen Mother and his aunt. |
| 142 | ---- |
| 143 | * AChildShallLeadThem: Well, not exactly a child, but he's still very young. |
| 144 | * ArtEvolution: His character portrait had a more animesque design before setting for the current more realistic looks. |
| 145 | * BowAndSwordInAccord: Starting from level 2 onward, he wields a bow in addition to a sword. |
| 146 | * IdealHero: He even looks (used to, with the new graphics) like a hero from a shonen manga. He's the hope of anyone who wants to get rid of the tyrannical Ashevier and the rampaging orcs. |
| 147 | * MagikarpPower: He is... kinda weak at level 1. Once he gets to level 2, he can both hold his own and strengthen lower level allies around, and at level 3 he is surprisingly powerful for a unit with Leadership. |
| 148 | * RaisedByNatives: He was raised among the elves. |
| 149 | * ShipTease: With [[KissingCousins Li'sar]] all the way. [[spoiler:By the end of the story, they're HappilyMarried.]] |
| 150 | * StandardHeroReward: [[spoiler:The throne and the hand of Li'sar.]] |
| 151 | * TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler:He's eventually revealed to be an orphan who was given the identity of Prince Konrad after Delfador failed to save the real one in order to give the rebellion against Queen Asheviere someone to rally around, making his claim to the throne illegitimate.]] [[spoiler:(He still becomes king in the end by marrying Li'sar, though.)]] |
| 152 | * WarriorPrince: A prince who leads and fights alongside his troops through the whole campaign. [[spoiler:Subverted, as he turns out to be not actually a prince.]] |
| 153 | |
| 154 | !!Delfador |
| 155 | !!!'''Class:''' Elder Mage (Heir to the Throne) |
| 156 | |
| 157 | ->''"I have always been a humble servant of the Crown, and remain such even now."'' |
| 158 | |
| 159 | A powerful sorcerer and wizard gifted with great powers and wisdom. He fought the armies of Queen Asheviere and killed her son, Eldred, in self defense. He guides Konrad in his journey and helps him with his knowledge and wisdom. |
| 160 | ---- |
| 161 | * BadassBoast: He develops it over the course of ''Delfador's Memoirs'' and it is more or less his preferred way of intimidating other folk by the time of ''Heir to the Throne''. His boast while [[spoiler:killing Ashieviere (shown at the bottom of the quotes below)]] has him blending it very well with ChewingTheScenery, RoaringRampageOfRevenge and UnstoppableRage. |
| 162 | --> "Send to them in my name and the Arch-Mage Leollyn's; nay, tell them that in this matter I speak with the King's voice!"\ |
| 163 | "I am Delfador, Delfador the Great, Arch Mage to King Garard, and Protector of his heir."\ |
| 164 | "How dare I? I [[BigGood High Provost of the Council of Archmagi]] ... [[OnlyThePureOfHeart bearer]] of the [[InfinityPlusOneSword staff of An-Usrukhar]], guardian of the [[GreatBigBookOfEverything book of Crelanu]] ... [[TheHero Mage Protector of The Kingdom Of The Peoples Of The West-North]], [[CourtMage Chief Advisor]] to the ''Crown'' ... and [[TheGoodChancellor personal counselor to my King]] and my ''[[TrueCompanions friend]]'', Garard the Second, who you most ''[[ThisIsUnforgivable foully]]'' [[ThisIsUnforgivable betrayed]] ... [[MyNameIsInigoMontoya I am Delfador the Great]] and [[PrepareToDie TODAY YOU MEET YOUR ATONEMENT]]!" |
| 165 | * CrutchCharacter: He can easily annihilate everything you throw at him in the earlier levels of ''Heir to the Throne'', though you would ideally be using those easily disintegrated orcs as XP fodder for your other units. However, he stands an equal chance of being killed as any other unit after you obtain the SwordOfPlotAdvancement. |
| 166 | * DeathFromAbove: His lightning strikes, probably one of the coolest animations in game. |
| 167 | * TheGoodChancellor: He was a close friend of and personal counselor to Garard II. |
| 168 | * MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:Failing to save the real Prince Konrad.]] |
| 169 | * OneManArmy: Against low-level {{mook}}s, at least. |
| 170 | * OnlyThePureOfHeart: Delfador's weapon is the Staff of An-Usrukhar, a LegendaryWeapon that once belonged to a mage of great power. Delfador [[SwordOfPlotAdvancement came across the staff]] during his misadventure in the land of the dead in ''Delfador's Memoirs''. It was only granted to him because its guardian tested him and found him to be a complete servant of the light and thus worthy to be its wielder. |
| 171 | * OriginsEpisode: ''Delfador's Memoirs'', another mainline campaign. |
| 172 | * OlderAndWiser: After ''Delfador's Memoirs''. |
| 173 | * OldMaster: Is the old one among the humans part of the heroes in ''Heir to the Throne'', which doesn't stop him from kicking ass with his lightning. In fact, he is better at than most of your units for a good chunk of the campaign. |
| 174 | * ShockAndAwe: He's the only wizard capable of casting lightning. He got this ability in the land of the dead. |
| 175 | * TheSmartGuy: He's the wisest and most knowleadgeable of the heroes in Konrad's group and always ready to help and advice. |
| 176 | * UnresolvedSexualTension: Chantal [[LampshadeHanging hangs a lampshade]] on her opinion of the eponymous character in ''Delfador's Memoirs''. Her grandfather's ''agreement'' does not help. |
| 177 | -->'''Chantal:''' If I were human, I think I would be in love with him.\ |
| 178 | '''Kalenz:''' If you were human, you would be quite right to be. |
| 179 | * WizardClassic: With his magic staff, large beard, purple robes, and powerful magic, he's very much a classic Merlin or Gandalf-style wizard. |
| 180 | |
| 181 | !!Kalenz |
| 182 | ->'''Class:''' Elvish Lord -> Elvish High Lord |
| 183 | Elf Lord of Wesmere and a powerful ally to Konrad. [[OriginsEpisode He's the star of his own campaign]] called ''The Legend of Wesmere''. |
| 184 | ---- |
| 185 | * TheAgeless: Elves are naturally very LongLived, but it's implied that drinking Crelanu's potion has made him completely ageless -- if nothing else, he's already been around for several elven generations. |
| 186 | * AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He's not an Elf Lord for nothing... |
| 187 | * CantArgueWithElves: Subverted, since most of the time he is actually the reasonable one in a debate. |
| 188 | * TheLancer: To Konrad, supporting his campaign and advising him while never taking the command. |
| 189 | * MagicKnight: Upon drinking a necromantic potion made by Crelanu, he becomes capable of casting spells. However, [[PowerAtAPrice he has to fight back the evil influence for a veeery long time.]] |
| 190 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Not that you would know by looking at him, but he is actually the oldest elf far and wide by the time ''Heir to the Throne'' rolls around. He was actually born shortly after the very arrival of the humans on the continent, but his longevity is lengthened greatly due to him drinking Crelanu's potion. This gave him a lifespan that far exceeds that of even a normal elf (which numbers in the centuries). |
| 191 | * OurElvesAreDifferent: Kalenz is rare even by elf standards. He has superior wisdom for his age (even after it was lengthened) and combines the magical prowess of a High Elf with the humility of a Wood Elf. |
| 192 | * PlayingWithFire: After drinking an invisiblity potion, he can blasts enemies with Faerie Fire. |
| 193 | * TechnicolorFire: Since he mastered Faerie Fire, he can cast surges of white-bluish flames. |
| 194 | * WalkingTheEarth: Following the passing of his wife and children, Kalenz left his home and grandchildren behind and began to explore the Great Continent. Part of this was because he could not bear to see himself in the eyes of his grandchildren, which bore a strong resemblance to his wife's. |
| 195 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: With [[spoiler:Landar]] who has become evil in the last arc of ''Legends of Wesmere''. |
| 196 | * WhoWantsToLiveForever: As of ''Heir to the Throne'', he had already outlived his wife and the children they bore, and was in the process of outliving his ''grandchildren''. While he has taken his prolonged lifespan in stride, the narration in the various campaigns he appears in sometimes hint that he is not ''too'' happy with it. |
| 197 | |
| 198 | !!Li'sar |
| 199 | [[quoteright:231:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lisar.png]] |
| 200 | !!!'''Class:''' Fighter -> Warrior (Tutorial), Princess -> Battle Princess (Heir to the Throne) |
| 201 | |
| 202 | ->''"I became my mother’s most trusted aide-de-camp. I was sent to quiet the worst of the rebellion. Of course they fought back. I never knew who these people were or why they fought my mother."'' |
| 203 | |
| 204 | Daughter of Asheviere, she hunts down Konrad, believing that he's an impostor. |
| 205 | ---- |
| 206 | * ActionInitiative: Not herself, but her ''Initiative'' ability gives it to all units around her. |
| 207 | * AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: She's a decent fighter and has a high rank. |
| 208 | * BelligerentSexualTension: [[{{Tsundere}} Not that she'd admit it]]. [[KissingCousins Probably because of the family ties...]] |
| 209 | * ChainmailBikini: In earlier versions, the armor she gets upon reaching level 3 is best described as armored leotard with strategic cuts to it combined with NavelDeepNeckline. Averted in later versions, where she wears a much more normal (and practical) set of armor. |
| 210 | * FlunkyBoss: She's often escorted by Royal Guards. |
| 211 | * FragileSpeedster: In earlier versions, where she had high defense (=evasion) on most types of terrain, but negative resistances to physical damage types. Averted in later versions, where she has lower (but still decent) defense, but positive resistances. |
| 212 | * HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Starts out as an EnemyMine situation before Li'sar decides to join the good guys to stop her mother's evil reign.]] |
| 213 | * TheHighQueen: At the end of the story. |
| 214 | * StaticRoleExchangeableCharacter: In the tutorial, with Konrad. They share the same lines and have the same stats, the only difference between the two is their appearance. |
| 215 | * PrettyPrincessPowerhouse: She's not just Queen Asheviere's daughter; she's her most capable commander and very skilled with a sword. |
| 216 | * RoyalBrat: She's quite arrogant and self-righteous sometimes. |
| 217 | * RoyalRapier: Used one in earlier versions. In later versions, while her weapon icon is still a rapier, her actual sprite uses a sword more resembling a falchion. |
| 218 | * SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:Of the Garardian royal dynasty, since Konrad is an (unknowing) impostor.]] |
| 219 | * {{Tuckerization}}: David White (the creator of the game and the campaign) named her after his wife (then-girlfriend). |
| 220 | |
| 221 | !!Queen Asheviere |
| 222 | ->'''Class:''' Dark Queen |
| 223 | The evil queen of Wesnoth who has allied herself with orcs and is turning the land into a CrapsackWorld. She's hunting down Konrad in order to make sure that no-one will threaten her position on the throne. She also holds a grudge against Delfador, who killed her son. |
| 224 | ---- |
| 225 | * ArchEnemy: To Delfador. She even acknowledges it herself. |
| 226 | * AnIcePerson: Casts ice magic like a necromancer. |
| 227 | * BigBad: As the one who order the orcs to hunt down Konrad, and the heroes' objective is always about overthrowing her. |
| 228 | * EvilSorcerer: Can use magic, just like her father Sagus. |
| 229 | * FinalBoss: She is the final foe you fight in "Heir to the Throne". |
| 230 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: She started off as an ordinary noblewoman, daughter of a powerful mage but otherwise ordinary. She rose to became one of the most infamous tyrants of Wesnoth and a mistress of dark magic. |
| 231 | * GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Is a brutal tyrant who only cares about her own continued reign. |
| 232 | * TheNecromancer: She was able to summon undead and [[spoiler: turn her father into a Lich]]. She also put a curse on the general who let her son die by having him and his troops turn into undead every night. |
| 233 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Her oldest son was already an adult when Konrad was born, which means that she must be at least in her fifties or something. Averted in later versions of the game, which give her a portrait befitting her age. |
| 234 | * OrcusOnHisThrone: Sends orcs, then Li'sar, and then regular humans after Konrad's group and only fights by herself at the end of the campaign. |
| 235 | * PurpleIsPowerful: She's a queen and a powerful sorceress: her garments are all dark purple in color. |
| 236 | * SelfMadeOrphan: [[spoiler:Killed her father and turned him into a lich, to guard the Book of Crelanu for her. Subverted from 1.16 onward, where her father seemingly became a Lich on his own accord.]] |
| 237 | * TheUsurper: After her husband, brother-in-law, and sons died in the battles at the Ford of Abez and Tath, Asheviere had the remaining male heirs killed in order to become the queen. |

| 244 | Main character of ''The Hammer of Thursagan''. He's a dwarf warrior from the Northern Alliance who's sent to recover the legendary hammer. |
| 245 | ---- |
| 246 | * GoodIsNotDumb: By the time he's at the gates of Kal Kartha, he's highly suspicious of the Masked Ones. |
| 247 | * OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: Nothing out of the ordinary for him. He's not even a unique class! |
| 248 | * TookALevelInBadass: From gatekeeper to [[spoiler:the ruler of a colony]], with all the AuthorityEqualsAsskicking that come with being a Dwarf. |
| 249 | |
| 250 | !!Karrag |
| 251 | ->'''Class:''' Dwarvish Rune Lord |
| 252 | A dwarvish lord who owns the Hammer of Thursagan. He's the leader of the racist Masked Dwarves. |
| 253 | ---- |
| 254 | * BigBad: As the leader of the Masked Dwarves, he's the main threat of the campaign. |
| 255 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: It is implied that his followers went through some form of brainwashing. During the final scenario he's working on a ritual which will do the same to the heroes... unless they stop him. |
| 256 | * CoolMask: He and his acolytes wear them. His is made of chain-mail [[spoiler:and hides his rotten face.]] |

| 259 | * TheUndead: [[spoiler:He's so far the only dwarvish Lich to be seen.]] |
| 260 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: He genuinely wants to bring Dwarfkind back to the old splendor and power of the past, but his methods are inhuman and will result in genocide against other races. |
| 261 | * WreckedWeapon: In recent versions, he admits that the Hammer of Thursagan is still half-broken and doesn't hold as much power as it used to. As a result, he no longer wields the Hammer but a generic hammer replica. |

| 269 | * AdaptationalBadass: In the earlier version of the campaign, the newly [[spoiler: lichified]] Malin has to slay a bunch of Trolls and orcs dwelling in the caverns he stumbled into. In more recent versions, [[spoiler: he has to slay a ''Fire Dragon'' and turn his corpse into a Skeletal Dragon.]] |
| 270 | * AlphaStrike: Can learn the "Impetuity" weapon special, allowing his Chill Templest attack to deal triple damage, but reducing it to a single hit (or two hits if Malin later chooses +1 Ranged Hit) |
| 271 | * FakingTheDead: Starting from 1.6 forward, he can end the "Endless Night" scenario by having an enemy unit pick up his book: he'll pretend that the book is his SoulJar and make the cave entrance crumble after the heroes leave, so that he can finally find some peace and occasionally send his ghosts to kill orcs. |
| 272 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: Malin Keshar starts as a young mage of no particular renown, hailing from a minor village, and over the course of ''Descent Into Darkness'', becomes a powerful necromancer and, eventually, one of the most powerful and infamous liches in Wesnothian history. |
| 273 | * HeWhoFightsMonsters: At first, Malin just wants to fight orcs to protect his hometown. He then turns to darker and darker magics to do so, and eventually becomes more of a threat to humanity than the orcs ever were as the mighty lich Mal Keshar. |
| 274 | * HyperCompetentSidekick: [[spoiler:In ''Invasion from the Unknown'' and ''After the Storm'', he is never the leader, but by far your most powerful unit and the undead units he allows you to use are immensely useful.]] |
| 275 | * {{Hypocrite}}: In a way, he mocks his own sister Dela, Dogron and the other townsfolk for being simpletons afraid of what they don't know. Malin himself isn't that smarter in this regard, [[spoiler: falling for Darken Volk's machinations]] and spending years on fruitless raids on Orcs which ultimately lead to [[spoiler: him becoming a Lich just because he was afraid to die.]] |
| 276 | * OurLichesAreDifferent: [[spoiler: His ultimate fate at the end of ''Descent Into Darkness'', where he became known as Mal Keshar when he used the book's ritual after he was grievously injured in an orc attack.]] |
| 277 | * LifeDrain: One of the abilities he can get after leveling is the ability to drain health with melee attacks. [[spoiler:He gets it by default after becoming a lich]]. |
| 278 | * MagicKnight: He starts as one (and, in fact, slightly stronger on the "knight" side). His magic grows stronger with his class changes, and it's up to the player if they want to keep the melee relevant, or focus on further strengthening Malin's magic. |
| 279 | * MagikarpPower: His magic starts pretty weak (being a mere 5-2), but grows ''immensely'' once Malin becomes Apprentice Necromancer, and only grows stronger from there. To an extent his melee attack as well, as if you choose to up his melee, he can get ''very'' respectable damage on it, on top of three weapon specials. |
| 280 | * MechanicallyUnusualClass: The way he levels up is unusual - every time his XP bar fills up, you get a choice of bonuses for him of which you can pick one, allowing you to customize how Malin ends up. Every few "levels" he gains a true level and changes his class. As a trade off for that, he doesn't benefit from LevelUpFillUp. |
| 281 | * MementoMcGuffin: His shortsword. The description of Dark Mage unit explicitly says that Malin keeps the sword as a keepsake, rather than because it's an effective weapon. |
| 282 | * NeverMyFault: According to him, everyone else but himself is to blame for his path of damnation, which he justifies by claiming that he "regrets nothing". |
| 283 | * SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: After some victory on isolated clans, he decided to muster all his forces and lead an attack straight into the biggest horde of Whitefang Orcs: his troops are quickly destroyed and Malin himself is wounded to death by an assassin, leaving him [[spoiler: ready to embrace Lichhood to escape the final death.]] |
| 284 | * TooDumbToLive: Oh yes, your former villagers won't be scared by the hordes of undead and unholy abominations you have summoned, but they'll surely welcome you back with a big smile. Plus, one could also add the fact that he ''failed'' to see [[spoiler: Darken's betrayal]] coming. |
| 285 | * TragicHero: Malin Keshar started out as a well-meaning if brash mage who decided to take up necromancy to save his village, who later shun him for that practice. Then he followed his master, Darken, who taught him more about the undead magic [[spoiler: and eventually betrayed him]]. In the final moments of the game, he was cast out by every settlement except for a remote village who did not know him. [[spoiler:Hearing about an orc attack, Malin's vengeance got the best of him and he went on to attack an orc outpost where he was gravely injured to the point of turning himself into a lich for survival]]. |
| 286 | * UnwittingPawn: Realizes a little too late that all his dark efforts to stop the orcs [[spoiler:are just Darken Volk's manipulations to get Malin to help him get the lich book]]. |
| 287 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: In order to protect his town he's ready to damn his soul with necromancy. |
| 288 | |
| 289 | !!Darken Volk |
| 290 | ->'''Class:''' Dark Sorcerer -> Lich or Necromancer |
| 291 | Malin's master. He is a dark wizard who plans to use Malin for his own needs. |
| 292 | ---- |
| 293 | * AffablyEvil: In earlier versions of the story. Latest versions of the campaign (1.16 forward) depicts him as a stricter teacher. |
| 294 | * EvilSorcerer: And petty too, apparently. |
| 295 | * LackOfEmpathy: Especially in newer versions, he's extremely cold and distant from Malin and at times treats him with contempt. [[spoiler: Upon obtaining Lady Karae's book on lichdom, he simply walks away from Malin, ignoring all his calls and eventually trying to kill him when he refuses to let him go peacefully.]] |
| 296 | * {{Necromancer}}: Can summon undead, and is the one who teaches Malin how to do it. |
| 297 | * VillainHasAPoint: [[spoiler: Cruel as it is, his tirade against Malin when he betrays him is overall correct: to him, it's Malin's fault if he really thought that Darken would help him butcher orcs and if he didn't see his betrayal coming.]] |
| 298 | * YouHaveFailedMe: He's prone to this towards Malin if he fails. |
| 299 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Downplayed; once he gets Lady Karae's book, he'll leave Malin to die in the mansion if he escapes first, but doesn't actively try to kill Malin except in self-defence. |

| 303 | The first ghost that Malin raises. |

| 305 | * TheCorrupter: Draken Volk might've taught Malin necromancy and drew him to the dark side, but it is this guy who pushed Malin to [[spoiler:kill Drogan and later to kill Darken Volk after the latter's betrayal]]. |
| 306 | * CriticalStatusBuff: One of the abilities it can learn, Hysteria, allows it to deliver up to ten hits with its ranged attack if its health is low. |
| 307 | * FragileSpeedster: Has high movement (that can also be increased with levels), high defense everywhere, and good resistances to four out of six damage types, but pitiful health and massive weaknesses to damage types it doesn't resist. |
| 308 | * LifeDrain: Can drain health out of enemies with melee attacks. |
| 309 | * MauveShirt: For all intents and purposes, this is a regular ghost with some [[MechanicallyUnusualClass peculiarities]] regarding how it levels. If it dies, another, regular ghost will take on its story role. |
| 310 | * MechanicallyUnusualClass: Same as Malin himself. |
| 311 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: Has only a few lines in the entire campaign. Those few lines all but completely cement Malin as a VillainProtagonist. |
| 312 | * StaticRoleExchangeableCharacter: If it dies, another, generic ghost will take its story role. |

| 321 | * BadassNormal: He may lack magic, but it doesn't stop him from being a skilled fighter. |
| 322 | * DeadGuyJunior: [[AllThereInTheManual According to]] WordOfGod, Gweddry's father, a general in the Wesnothian army, named Gweddry after a soldier who saved his life, at the cost of his own. |
| 323 | * TheEveryman: Just an average (but promising) Sergeant, assigned to [[NothingExcitingEverHappensHere an unassuming frontier post]]... which just so happens to be the first stepping stone in Mal Ravanal's invasion. Over the course of the campaign, of course, he [[TookALevelInBadass Takes A Level In Badass]]. |

| 328 | ->'''Class:''' White Mage -> Mage of Light |
| 329 | The king's advisor who has been assigned to accompany Gweddry in his outpost. |
| 330 | ---- |
| 331 | * TheAtoner: He never really forgave himself for the creation of Mal Ravanal. |
| 332 | * CourtMage: A mage and the advisor in King Konrad II's court. |
| 333 | * {{Deuteragonist}}: Gweddry is the one who makes the call and whom the story follows, but Dacyn is the one who knows what is going on and advise Gweddry about what they should do, so most of the time we are following Dacyn's direction. Dacyn also has a personal connection with the BigBad. |
| 334 | * ItsPersonal: It was a moment of hesitation that lead to Ravanal escaping to safety and turning into a Lich. In the final battle he wields a magic stone which can prevent him from teleporting away upon defeat, to make sure he dies for real. |
| 335 | |
| 336 | !!Owaec |
| 337 | ->'''Class:''' Mounted Warrior |
| 338 | Commander of the northern settlement, after receiving some help from Gweddry in dealing with bandits he goes along witht them in their journey northwards. |
| 339 | ---- |
| 340 | * BoisterousBruiser: In the latest version, he's the one who suggests they just rush the army of Mal Ravanal, using cavalry to outpace the undead and strike at the core of his forces. |
| 341 | * EpicFlail: He's a unique mounted unit who's armed with a sword and a flail: the flail is stronger and has only two hits, but possess the unique trait "shock", which reduces the number of enemy attacks by one when on the offensive. |
| 342 | * TheLancer: He's the main supporter of Gweddry and, like him, a warrior, rather than a wizard like Dacyn. |
| 343 | |
| 344 | !!Mal Ravanal |
| 345 | ->'''Class:''' Ancient Lich |

| 347 | ---- |
| 348 | * AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: There's a reason why he can control all those lesser liches. |
| 349 | * BigBad: As the one behind the titular ''Eastern Invasion''. |
| 350 | * GreaterScopeVillain: He is the one behind the undead invasion in ''Dead Water'', but Krellis's story is limited to simply defeating Ravanal's undead generals who take over Jotha. When that is done, the merfolk of Jotha get the news that Ravanal is already destroyed by the Wesnothians. |
| 351 | * {{Expy}}: Of [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Saruman the White]], being an EvilSorcerer [[spoiler: who used to be heroic until jealousy of a colleague turned him to darkness]] and having an arm-like pillar of black smoke emerging from his corpse and reaching to the sky before being sweeped away by a gentle breeze from the west. |
| 352 | * GreenEyedMonster: [[spoiler: His jealousy of Dacyn, especially after he was chose as the King's Advisor, led him to his ruin and damnation.]] |
| 353 | * LetsFightLikeGentlemen: After Gweddry repeals his undead troops from Weldyn, he calls him a coward for hiding behind his soldiers and challenges him to a duel. [[spoiler:[[ExactWords He follows the rules to the letter]].]] From 1.16 though, the duel is issued by Dacyn, but otherwise the conditions are the same. |
| 354 | * LoopholeAbuse: [[spoiler: He was told not to bring troops to other than his retinue. Unfortunately, he never considers reviving corpses in the dueling area as "outside force".]] |
| 355 | * {{Pride}}: His greatest fault. |
| 356 | * SwampsAreEvil: His hideout is a fortress inside a putrescent swamp and, upon invading Wesnoth, proceeds to flood the Eastmark and turn the fertile plains into a festering marshland where a {{Dracolich}} roams the waters, looking for flesh. According to Dacyn, the swamps are perfectly suited for the undead. |
| 357 | * TakeOverTheWorld: With an army of undead monsters, and he was really close to accomplishing the deed. |
| 358 | * VillainTeleportation: A plot point, his magic allows him to teleport in a safe place at will and can use it when at death's door to escape. Dacyn has the group make a detour to recover the AntiMagic stone belonging to a Dragon so that he can counter his trick. |
| 359 | * WhosLaughingNow: [[spoiler:He took Dacyn's promotion to Royal Advisor ''really badly'', and became a lich just to get revenge for this.]] |

| 367 | ---- |
| 368 | * AChildShallLeadThem: His father, the previous kai, dies in the prologue when he was young, forcing him to take the position as a kid. Bonus points for starting out as a Level 0 unit too! |
| 369 | * AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Downplayed example, but during the second mission, you ''must'' level him to at least level 1 if he isn't already, since otherwise the merfolk will think he is a coward. |
| 370 | * CarryABigStick: First his scepter, then a morning star. Considering his undead opponents, is a sensible choice. |
| 371 | * FishPeople: A Merfolk specifically. |
| 372 | * HeroicBastard: [[spoiler:Not him, but his father]] is Maudin's son with Tyegëa rather than his wife. The blood tie is why the otherwise aloof Tyegëa would help Krellis. |

| 427 | * EvilOverlord: One who didn't have much time to build his forces, but is still a threat, given how much damage he could do unprepared. |
| 428 | * MultiArmedAndDangerous: His unique portrait has him sporting four arms as a Lich. Frighteningly enough, only Jeyvan, an extremely powerful Lich Lord, had the same feature. |
| 429 | * NoManOfWomanBorn: He cannot be harmed by anything living: in order to succumb for real, either Delfador or the Undead troops recalled from Delfador's journey to the Land of the Dead, can finish him off for good. |
| 430 | * PredecessorVillain: To Mal Ravanal, both being very powerful necromancers who threatened Wesnoth itself with a colossal army of undead. As mentioned by Delfador, because of Iliah-Malal's machinations, the gate to the Netherworld isn't fully closed, so acts of necromancy will be easier to perform in the future: this would explain how Mal Ravanal could have created such a horde of living dead. |
| 431 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: Delfador managed to defuse his threat before it could go out of bounds, but thanks to his tampering with the portal, necromantic magic only grew stronger. |

| 509 | A dwarf that Haldric encounters shortly after his escape from Stormvale. He is mostly there for the fun of killing orcs. |
| 510 | ---- |
| 511 | * MightyGlacier: Slow, but tough and hard hitting. Subverted in caves or mountainous terrain, where his lack of movement penalties makes him a borderline LightningBruiser. |
| 512 | * NoSenseOfDirection: He is not called "the Lost" for nothing. It's mentioned that he arrived to the Green Isle after going ''east'' from the eastern continent, implying that he went around the world. |
| 513 | * OptionalPartyMember: It's possible to not encounter him at all, if you don't look around in the third scenario. |
| 514 | * SlasherSmile: His portrait has two variants: one where he's scowling and one (usually when battles are involved) in which he's threatheningly grinning with anticipation. |
| 515 | * ThisIsGonnaSuck: Several times, usually whenever Haldric decides to go through swamps or use ships. |
| 516 | * WalkingTheEarth: At the end of the campaign he plans to return to his brothers and set out for new scouting journeys across the world using the underpassages to reach other continents. |

| 523 | ---- |
| 524 | * DeathSeeker: Seeks to die and join his dead family after they died and his homeland fell. Aethyr tells Haldric that if he lives after the conflict is over, he would live alone without a honorable way to join his family. [[spoiler:He ultimately dies in a SelfSacrificeScheme at the end.]] |
| 525 | * DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler: Still taunt and insults Jeyvan as the Lich Lord is slowly draining the life out of him.]] |
| 526 | * EyeScream: Appears to have taken a hit to the eye shortly before Haldric arrived to Clearwater Port. He still has both of his eyes later, but the one that was bandaged previously is a noticeably different color than the other. |
| 527 | * MyRulesAreNotYourRules: Despite being a Lieutenant-line unit, he cannot advance to its level 4, Grand Marshal. |

| 529 | !!Lord Typhon |

| 532 | ---- |
| 533 | * FishPeople: King of the merfolk, so naturally he is one himself. |
| 534 | * GuestStarPartyMember: After Haldric and the others make landfall on the eastern continent, he leaves back to his people. |
| 535 | * OnlyInItForTheMoney: He helped the Prince of Southbay and later Haldric exclusively to get his hands on metal goods his people need (they can't set up forges underwater). |
| 536 | * ProngsOfPoseidon: A trident is the natural choice of weapon for the king of the merfolk. |
| 537 | * ShockAndAwe: He starts with a Storm Trident, and as such can call lightning on his foes. He actually didn't in earlier releases, which caused people to waste a findable Storm Trident on him, not knowing he doesn't stick around. |
| 538 | |
| 539 | !!Jeyvan |
| 540 | ->'''Class:''' Ancient Lich |
| 541 | An evil Lich lord who ruled over the Wesfolk in the past, and is hunting down Haldric for his Fire Ruby. |
| 542 | ---- |
| 543 | * AmbitionIsEvil: Betrays the Wesfolk he rules over and summons the orcs to the Green Isle in order to destroy the people of the Green Isle and get his hands on the Ruby of Fire. |
| 544 | * BadBoss: He ditched his very own people for the Orcs and even then he treats his hordes as a pack of starving hounds and nothing more, showing little concern for them and even forcing them to fight even when the tide is against them. |
| 545 | * BigBad: The story starts with the Wesfolk he used to rule fleeing to Haldric's land because Jevyan betrayed them in favor of ruling the Green Isle with the orcs. The orcs serving under Jevyan are also the one who forces Haldric's people out of their land. When Haldric's people and the Wesfolk flee out of the Green Isle, Jevyan chases after them since Haldric has the Ruby of Fire, making sure Haldric and his people can never be safe until they defeat Jevyan in the FinalBattle. |
| 546 | * TheNecromancer: During the final battle he will routinely summon extra undead troops from the earth or the sea. He can even turn any of your fallen soldiers into a Living Dead. |
| 547 | * OddNameOut: He's one of the few Liches without the "Mal" prefix to his name. |
| 548 | * OurLichesAreDifferent: He's a Lich Lord, hence far more powerful than the ordinary Lich. |
| 549 | * SummonMagic: In the final battle he can call forth a trio of giant squids to smash the three bridges in the area leading to his fortress. |
| 550 | * UndeadAbomination: He's clearly one notch above normal Liches: while his unit resembles a normal Ancient Lich, his portraits is more monstrous, showing him with a bone tail in lieau of a lower body. |

| 588 | ---- |
| 589 | * BigBad: He is the closest thing this campaign has to one, with Landar being GreaterScopeVillain. |
| 590 | * {{Greed}}: By the final encounter, he is obviously affected by the Ruby, wanting it for himself, and lamenting how close he is to getting it as he dies. |
| 591 | * LeeroyJenkins: In the final scenario, thanks to map layout. Glildur will always start moving towards the closest keep when he appears, which is right in the path of incoming orcish attack. It is very much possible for him to get surrounded and shredded to pieces within a turn after that, depending on how many elves follow him and how many chase after the player's forces. |
| 592 | * OptionalBoss: Fighting Glildur is never a requirement. Even in the last mission, you can just leave him to the orcs and complete the objectives without facing him. However, beating him in the first three encounters (which is difficult due to tight time limits and elves having way more gold than the player does) ends the mission early and awards the gold bonus. |
| 593 | * RecurringBoss: Appears in half of the campaign's missions, which is pretty impressive. |
| 594 | * TheBattleDidntCount: He will always retreat and reappear later no worse for wear if beaten before the final mission. |

| 609 | ---- |
| 610 | * {{Deuteragonist}}: Landar follow Kalenz from the very start of the story, is Kalenz' closest friend and his aggresive tendencies contrast Kalenz' more thoughful decisions.
