| 18 | !!The Vestige |
| 19 | %%[[quoteright:350:]] |
| 20 | |
| 21 | ->''"That is the name I have given you. You are but a trace of your former self. A soulless one. An empty vessel that longs to be filled. It is as the Scrolls foretold, but not exactly as I imagined."'' |
| 22 | -->-- The Prophet. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | ---- |
| 25 | * ActionGirl: Being female does not hinder the Vestige's abilities at kicking ass. |
| 26 | * TheAce: Thanks to the game's nature, the Vestige can get to level 50 in all weapon skills, world skills, and creation skills. |
| 27 | * AdventurerArchaeologist - Many quests involve you exploring ruins for this reason. Two of your world skill lines (unlocked with Greymoor) are about Archaeology and you end up joining the Antiquarian Circle. |
| 28 | * AntiHero: Easy to fall into this with soul magic and all. Amplified if the Vestige is a Nightblade, Necromancer, or Arcanist/Sorcerer and even more so if they are a vampire or werewolf. |
| 29 | * TheArchmage: The Vestige can complete all magic-related world and guild skill lines, reach max level in the mage's guild, and they even get a title called Master Wizard. |
| 30 | * BadassBookworm: The Vestige can collect lorebooks and will always know some type of magic yet they are a skilled warrior in their own right. |
| 31 | * BagOfHolding: Since ''Online'' did away with the weight system of the traditional titles, your Vestige's inventory is slot-based and each item (or stack of items) will take up one of those, regardless of if said item is a tiny Lockpick or a furnishing piece the size of a ''small building''. |
| 32 | * CastingAShadow: If the Vestige is a Nightblade. Nightblades use shadow magic to [[{{Invisibility}} conceal themselves]], protect themselves from attacks, [[ShadowWalker teleport]], and [[LifeDrain manipulate life force.]] |
| 33 | * GameplayAndStoryIntegration: Unlike other Elder Scrolls games, all of the Vestige's deaths are canon thanks to saves and loads not being possible here. It's just that their connection to Coldharbour and lack of soul allows them to return from death. |
| 34 | * ResurrectiveImmortality: It's one of the perks of their soullessness, as not having a soul while also possessing an intrinsic Anuic principle means mortal wounds simply won't stick on them as they would on regular living beings, since their connection to Coldharbour will allow them to keep returning to life. This makes it one of the rare cases of respawning being a part of GameplayAndStoryIntegration. The crux of the Bangkorai chapter is Septima Tharn trying to bait them into the Far Shores - where this connection is severed - and kill them there permanently, though it didn't work out the way she planned it to. However, GameplayAndStorySegregation is in play after the conclusion of the main questline, as the Vestige will have gained their soul back at the climax of that plotline, but dying will still allow them to pop back up like they've been doing up to that point. |

| 38 | ! Factions |
| 39 | |
| 40 | !!The Dark Brotherhood |
| 41 | A secret society of assassins spanning the entire continent of Tamriel. They worship Sithis and the Night Mother, believing all souls they kill go into the Void. As cutthroat assassins go, however, they are very loyal to their "family". |
| 42 | |
| 43 | [[folder:Speaker Terenus]] |
| 44 | |
| 45 | An Imperial speaker for the Dark Brotherhood who recruits the Vestige. |
| 46 | ---- |
| 47 | * AffablyEvil: He's about as pleasant as a speaker for an order of assassins can be. |
| 48 | * {{Expy}}: He has a lot of similarities to Oblivion's Lucien Lachance, being an Imperial Speaker who recruits the player character and makes them [[spoiler:his silencer.]] |
| 49 | |
| 50 | [[/folder]] |
| 51 | |
| 52 | [[folder: Astara Caerellius]] |
| 53 | |
| 54 | An Imperial assassin and matron of the Gold Coast Dark Brotherhood sanctuary who assigns the Vestige their higher priority contracts. |
| 55 | ---- |
| 56 | * CoolOldLady: She's clearly getting up in years, but is about as spry a killer as everyone else in the Dark Brotherhood. |
| 57 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: She doesn't go into details, but she does note she was recruited into the Brotherhood at a very young age. |
| 58 | * IronLady: She's a tough, no-nonsense old woman who doesn't suffer fools or setbacks. |
| 59 | [[/folder]] |
| 60 | |
| 61 | [[folder:Elam Drals]] |
| 62 | |
| 63 | A dry-humored Dunmer who mans the treasury, dolling out payment and comments whenever the player returns from a successful contract kill. |
| 64 | ---- |
| 65 | * DeadpanSnarker: Very dry and sarcastic, Elam will often greet you with an insulting crack or a sardonic story of one of his many contracts. |
| 66 | * EdibleBludgeon: Claims to have killed several people this way. |
| 67 | * EqualOpportunityOffender: Your contracts take you to nearly every zone in Tamriel, and Elam has a wry or snarky remark for all of them. |
| 68 | * EvilTastesGood: Elam often regales you with tales about food and murder, and it's hard to tell which of the two he enjoys more. |
| 69 | * EvilVersusOblivion: Literally. He joins forces with the Vestige during the conflict with Mehrunes Dagon to ensure Tamriel isn't destroyed, and him along with it. |
| 70 | * InappropriateHunger: Goes with the above. Elam often mixes work and meals...in some rather unsavory ways. |
| 71 | [[/folder]] |
| 72 | |
| 73 | [[folder:Mirabelle Motierre]] |
| 74 | |
| 75 | A young Breton woman from a wealthy family. By her own admission, she grew bored of her pampered lifestyle and strangled a servant girl with a golden chain, after which she was contacted by the Brotherhood. She has never looked back since. |
| 76 | * CallForward: Veterans of [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion]] and [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]] will recognize that she's not the last member of the Motierre family to get involved with the Dark Brotherhood. |
| 77 | * CrusadingWidower: Of the female lover variety. While she was never officially anything more than a lover to Cimbar, she goes to great lengths [[spoiler:eventually losing her own life]] to avenge his murder. |
| 78 | * RevengeBeforeReason: She will not listen to anyone, even when it's clear she's in over her head. |
| 79 | * SacrificialLamb: [[spoiler:She's the Black Dragon's first onscreen victim.]] |
| 80 | * TheTease: Mirabelle likes to play this up upon meeting you, despite holding legitimate feelings for her lover, Cimbar. |
| 81 | [[/folder]] |
| 82 | |
| 83 | [[folder:Green-Venom-Tongue]] |
| 84 | |
| 85 | An Argonian Shadowscale who was brought into the Dark Brotherhood as a hatchling. He is the sole survivor of a previously cleansed sanctuary. |
| 86 | ---- |
| 87 | |
| 88 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: As a Shadowscale, he was destined to become a member of the Dark Brotherhood, and on top of that, his sanctuary was cleansed, and he was only spared because circumstances proved he couldn't possibly have betrayed the Brotherhood. |
| 89 | * DeadpanSnarker: He's very quick-witted and tends to make jokes often. |
| 90 | * LiteralMinded: Has a tendency to take things said to him very literally. |
| 91 | * SacrificialLion: He's a very competent killer for the Dark Brotherhood, [[spoiler:but he is no match for the Black Dragon when he faces her.]] |
| 92 | [[/folder]] |
| 93 | |
| 94 | [[folder: Primate Artorius Ponticus]] |
| 95 | |
| 96 | An Imperial priest, head of the Akatosh Chantry as well as the Order of the Hour, a religious military who is dedicated to bringing order to the Gold Coast. Or so it seems. |
| 97 | ---- |
| 98 | |
| 99 | * AmbitionIsEvil: [[spoiler:Used the Dark Brotherhood to reach his position, and has been operating a war of subterfuge with other leaders in the Gold Coast all to attain power for himself.]] |
| 100 | * ArcVillain: Of the Dark Brotherhood quest line. |
| 101 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: He presents himself as a pious and devoted follower of Akatosh, [[spoiler:but he's really a selfish, ambitious manipulator.]] |
| 102 | * TheChessmaster: [[spoiler:After using the Dark Brotherhood to reach heights of power, he used a network of spies to manipulate the political situation on the Gold Coast to maintain his power.]] |
| 103 | * ChurchMilitant: The Order of the Hour is this, and is under his command. |
| 104 | * EvilOldFolks: He's quite on in his years, [[spoiler:and is very evil.]] |
| 105 | * ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler:He manipulated Lyra into becoming his pawn by playing on her guilt.]] |
| 106 | * ThePurge: He's been having Dark Brotherhood agents killed for some time before the Vestige joins, and part of the guild's quest line is figuring out how and why. [[spoiler:He's doing it to ensure no one can use the Dark Brotherhood to kill him.]] |
| 107 | * SinisterMinister: He's a religious authority [[spoiler:who used assassins to climb to power.]] |
| 108 | * TimeMaster: Has some ability to manipulate time, albeit on a fairly small scale. |
| 109 | * VillainWithGoodPublicity: He's a religious figure in Kvatch, which is practically a theocracy under his rule. [[spoiler:He used the Dark Brotherhood to reach power, and has begun killing them to ensure no one can do the same to him.]] |
| 110 | [[/folder]] |
| 111 | |
| 112 | [[folder: The Black Dragon]] |
| 113 | |
| 114 | A mysterious warrior aligned with the Order of the Hour who is responsible for the deaths of Dark Brotherhood agents throughout the Gold Coast. |
| 115 | ---- |
| 116 | |
| 117 | * AntiHero: She's motivated by a genuine desire to do good, but is still running around killing people without any kind of trial. |
| 118 | * TheAtoner: Her motivation is to atone for past crimes. [[spoiler:Specifically, she was a Silencer for the Dark Brotherhood, until she converted to a follower of Akatosh and began killing Dark Brotherhood members as penance for her crimes.]] |
| 119 | * BlackKnight: She wears all-black armor and is a force to be reckoned with. Unlike most examples, she's a HeroAntagonist. |
| 120 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Hoo boy. [[spoiler:She used to be a Silencer for the Dark Brotherhood, and a devoted follower of Sithis. However, her faith was shaken when she was ordered to purge her sanctuary, filling her with doubt. To make matters worse, her Speaker was verbally abusive and dismissive of her concerns, making it easy for Artorius to manipulate her.]] |
| 121 | * DraggedOffToHell: [[spoiler:Her ultimate fate is to be dragged to the Void by a wraith of Sithis for betraying the Dark Brotherhood.]] |
| 122 | * HeelFaithTurn: She mentions that she recently converted to follow Akatosh, and that she was a terrible person beforehand. [[spoiler:And since she was a Dark Brotherhood Silencer, that claim is more than accurate.]] |
| 123 | * HeroAntagonist: A religious warrior who specializes in killing Dark Brotherhood assassins would be the hero of any other story. |
| 124 | * HunterOfHerOwnKind: [[spoiler:She used to be in the Dark Brotherhood, and specializes in killing the assassins.]] |
| 125 | * TheStarscream: [[spoiler:Once she realizes Artorius manipulated and used her, she turns on him, but is killed by the Vestige before she has a chance to do anything about it.]] |
| 126 | * TokenGoodTeammate: For the Order of the Hour. Most are pirates and thugs looking to abuse their power and authority, [[spoiler:and that's not even getting into the primate,]] while she is a genuine devoted follower of Akatosh trying to do the right thing. |
| 127 | * UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:To Artorius, who manipulated her into believing he cared for her, convinced her to convert to an Akatosh follower, and kill Dark Brotherhood members on his behalf.]] |

| 130 | !!The Fighters Guild |
| 131 | The nationwide faction of adventurers whom usually work as expert mercenaries, but during the Molag Bal crisis have shifted priorities to stopping his invasion at all costs. |
| 132 | |
| 133 | [[folder:Guild-master Sees-All-Colors]] |
| 134 | -->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/RachelRobinson |
| 135 | |
| 136 | An Argonian knight, thrust into the position of guild-master after the untimely demise of the previous leader. Under her leadership, the guild has shifted its priorities from financial gain to stopping Molag Bal. |
| 137 | ---- |
| 138 | * ActionGirl: Action ''lizard'' girl. |
| 139 | * HazyFeelTurn: [[spoiler:It's left up to the player to decide if she is truly evil or simply doing what she felt was right.]] |
| 140 | * IDidWhatIHadToDo: [[spoiler:She murdered the previous Guild-master because of his indifference to the plight of Tamriel's citizens, and uses this trope as her justification.]] |
| 141 | * KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:She can be let completely off the hook at the player's discretion, though she receives a demotion from Guild-master. Although whether she truly deserved punishment for her actions is [[GrayAndGrayMorality left up to you.]] If not, then she is either executed or exiled from the guild.]] |
| 142 | * LightIsNotGood: [[spoiler:She is a devout follower of Meridia, and it's implied that Meridia is the one that drove her to killing the previous Guild-master.]] |
| 143 | * MeaningfulName: [[spoiler:She is revealed to be working on behalf of Meridia, whose realm of Oblivion is known as the Colored Rooms.]] |
| 144 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: She is highly regarded by the guild members and genuinely wants to help the people of Tamriel. [[spoiler:No matter the cost.]] |
| 145 | [[/folder]] |
| 146 | |
| 147 | [[folder:Merric-at-Aswalla]] |
| 148 | -->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChristopherCoreySmith |
| 149 | A Redguard blacksmith and knight, who helps the player throughout the questline. A childhood friend of Aelif. |
| 150 | ---- |
| 151 | * AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: [[spoiler:He's made Guild-master as the quest's conclusion.]] |
| 152 | * ChildhoodFriends: With Aelif. [[spoiler:He's shocked and saddened when she shows her true colors.]] |
| 153 | * GuestStarPartyMember: He joins your group several times in the questline. [[spoiler:After Aelif's betrayal, he's your ''only'' ally.]] |
| 154 | * GeniusBruiser: He's a capable fighter ''and'' the Guild's resident expert on [[spoiler:a one-of-a-kind Dwemer forge]]. |
| 155 | * IncorruptiblePurePureness: Merric's soul is targeted for capture early in the questline. Precisely ''because'' it's so pure and dedicated to Stendarr, it would be an especially prized sacrifice [[spoiler:to Molag Bal]]. |
| 156 | * KnightInShiningArmor: The straightest example in the guild, being heroic and friendly as well as a sword and board knight. [[spoiler:He's also the only main character in the questline without any dark secrets.]] |
| 157 | * RealMenLoveJesus: The equivalent. His defining characteristic is his dedication to Stendarr and belief in righteous principles. |
| 158 | [[/folder]] |
| 159 | |
| 160 | [[folder:Aelif]] |
| 161 | |
| 162 | A Khajiit Nightblade, and a scout for the guild. She is also a skilled necromancer, able to enslave and communicate with undead souls. |
| 163 | ---- |
| 164 | * ArcVillain: [[spoiler:For the Fighter's Guild questline. She's an agent of Molag Bal trying to destroy the guild's infrastructure, as the guild is seen as a threat to Molag Bal's plans.]] |
| 165 | * FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:She used to be a proud member of the guild, but she was tempted by the power Molag Bal granted her.]] |
| 166 | ** HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoiler:if the Fighter's Guild was completed before the main quest, you can find her in the Halls of Torment alongside Mannimarco. She promises to defect to your side if you free her. Turns out, she's telling the truth, as she joins your group if you let her go… until Molag Bal forcibly transforms her into a pathetic skeletal daedra that you must put down.]] |
| 167 | * FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:She is subject to eternal torment for [[YouHaveFailedMe failing Molag Bal]], though the player can take pity on her and release her.]] |
| 168 | * OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:Molag Bal turns her into a Titan at the end of the final quest, which you and Merric have to put down.]] |
| 169 | * VillainWithGoodPublicity: [[spoiler:After you've completed the Fighters' Guild questline, some Khajiit [=NPC=]s can occasionally be overheard condemning the fact that an honorable Khajiit was killed while a "daedra-worshipping Argonian" was given leadership of the guild.]] |

| 172 | [[folder:Cardea Gallus]] |
| 173 | An Imperial stationed in the Guild hall of the alliance capital, she hands out Dark Anchor contracts. |
| 174 | ---- |
| 175 | * EyepatchOfPower: Over her left eye. |
| 176 | * SnarkKnight: She gives the player character contracts all over Tamriel, and often has some choice commentary about the particular region she's sent you to. |
| 177 | -->'''Cardea Gallus:''' [''after you complete a contract in Eastmarch'']: Yes, the Eastmarch chapter said your name would be carved into the halls of Sovngarde. But they didn't send gold. Your deeds are good enough to commemorate for all time, yet they left me to pay the reward. Typical for the Eastmarch chapter. |

| 182 | !!Mages Guild |
| 183 | |
| 184 | An association dedicated to magical learning, founded by the legendary 1st age archmage Shalidor, who's also managed to get the guild in a spot of bother with Sheogorath. |
| 185 | |
| 186 | [[folder: Shalidor]] |
| 187 | |
| 188 | The Nordic founder of the Mages' Guild. He traded the island of Eyevea, which he initially intended as a sanctuary for mages, to Sheogorath a long time ago, and though he regrets this considerably, Daedric Princes generally aren't the type to allow backsies. Which is where you come in. |
| 189 | ----- |
| 190 | * TheArchmage: One of legendary status. |
| 191 | * TheAtoner: The Mages' Guild questline is about helping him atone for his mistake of trading away Eyevea by getting it back. |
| 192 | * MyGreatestFailure: Agreeing to give Sheogorath Eyevea and everyone in it. His obsession with fixing his mistake is such that his wife ended up leaving him because he wasn't paying her any attention. |
| 193 | * NeverMyFault: Though he deeply regrets what happened to Eyevea, he's also initially really cagey about ''how'' exactly he lost it; initially, he'll say that it was stolen from him and later say he lost a bet but refuses to elaborate. You first get an idea for what ''really'' happened in a vision Sheogorath presumably shows you, and he only admits the truth after Sheogorath offers you a similar offer of the Folium Discognitum in exchange for [[spoiler:Valeste's mental health]]. |

| 196 | [[folder: Curinure, Rudrasa, and Nemarc]] |

| 200 | |
| 201 | [[folder: Valaste]] |
| 202 | |
| 203 | The High Elf head of the Incunabula (essentially, chief librarian) of the Mages' Guild. Supremely gifted with magical writings. |
| 204 | ------- |
| 205 | * CunningLinguist: ''Very'' good with languages, to the point that she's the only person who can translate Sheogorath's books. |
| 206 | * DrivenToMadness: [[spoiler: The consequence of too much TomeOfEldritchLore reading. Sheogorath will [[RestorationOfSanity cure her]] if you ask, but if you choose to take the Folium Discognitum instead, she remains permanently insane and Sheogorath takes her to live in the Shivering Isles.]] |
| 207 | * FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: If you have Sheogorath cure her, she refers to remaining insane and going to the Isles as one]]. |
| 208 | * OhMyGods: Uses 'Xarxes' Backside!' as a swear at one point- Xarxes being the Altmer god of knowledge. |
| 209 | [[/folder]] |

| 211 | !!Psijic Order |
| 212 | An order of peace-loving, knowledge-seeking peoples of all races whose base is in Arteaum. They prefer not to influence events directly, but have been having more and more difficulty staying out of things as of late. |
| 213 | |
| 214 | [[folder:The Auger of The Obscure]] |
| 215 | -->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/BenDiskin |
| 216 | A mysterious being from another dimension who has taken (or been forced into) the shape of a blue skull. It is able to see all of time and space and understand the infinite mysteries of the universe, but prefers to rant and joke rather than share anything particularly valuable. |
| 217 | ---- |
| 218 | * DitzyGenius: The Vestige questions the Auger's near-omniscience at the start of the quest due to its seeming inability to stay focused. However, it quickly becomes apparent just how profound its knowledge really is. |
| 219 | * TheGadfly: Loves to call humans "meat-brains" and poke fun at them for no other reason than to amuse itself. To its credit, it feels somewhat guilty should its antics go too far and suggests buying gifts to make up for them, such as in the case of [[spoiler:Josajeh]]. Unfortunately, the gifts it suggests would be too weird to be appreciated by the recipient. |
| 220 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: A very mild example, the Auger initially views all humans as idiotic "meat-brains" and doesn't hesitate to poke fun at them (especially you). [[spoiler:However, near the end of the Psijic quests it admits to having grown fond of you and confesses that it never truly thought all humans are stupid.]] |

| 228 | |
| 229 | * BerserkButton: Leythen purposely hits her right where it hurts during an argument, pointing out [[spoiler:that he was at their daughter's bedside when she passed, while Valsirenn wasn't.]] This drives her into an uncharacteristic rage. |
| 230 | * BigGood: She serves as this throughout the ''Summerset'' questline, despite carrying some deep grief and anger. |
| 231 | * CoolOldLady: She doesn't hesitate to jump right into the adventure alongside the Vestige. |
| 232 | * LadyOfWar: She accompanies the player character on a few combat missions, wielding Psijic magic. |
| 233 | * MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:She was not there when her daughter died, and instead was away researching a cure. It's left ambiguous whether she genuinely thought she could find a cure in time, or whether it was a pretext to avoid facing her child's death.]] |
| 234 | * OutlivingOnesOffspring: Her daughter died of a mysterious illness, which caused her to throw herself into her work. |

| 240 | |
| 241 | The leader of the Psijic Order, whose memories hold the key to the crisis on Summerset. |
| 242 | ---- |
| 243 | * BigGood: The head of the Psijic Order, he's committed to stopping the Sload incursion and the Court of Bedlam. [[spoiler:Tragically this is subverted, as his desperate deal with Nocturnal ends up giving her the tool she needs for her OmnicidalManiac ambitions.]] |
| 244 | * FakeMemories: Due to the MindRape mentioned below. |
| 245 | * LivingMacGuffin: [[spoiler:He and the Order spend a great deal of time searching for the Heart of Transparent Law; turns out Iachesis hid it ''within himself''. Nocturnal kills him in order to retrieve it.]] |
| 246 | * MindRape: The Sea Sloads do this to him, setting in motion many of the events of the ''Summerset'' plotline. Later, [[spoiler:in a sense he gets this a ''second'' time, as Nocturnal causes him to lose all memories of hiding the Heart of Transparent Law.]] |
| 247 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: He successfully kept the Heart of Transparent Law out of the hands of the Sea Sload. [[spoiler:However, it required making a deal with Nocturnal, who went on to use the Heart to nearly unmake ''reality itself.'']] |
| 248 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:Nocturnal pulls this on him.]] |

| 254 | ---- |
| 255 | * HazyFeelTurn: He is a dedicated servant of the Court of Bedlam to start off with, [[spoiler:but once Nocturnal betrays the other court members, he sides firmly with Mephala. He edges toward a full HeelFaceTurn by reconciling with Valsirenn and performing a HeroicSacrifice to assist the Vestige, yet he never renounces Mephala and remains a staunch defender of the initial goals of the Court of Bedlam.]] |
| 256 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:He dies so that the Vestige and Darien Gautier can advance through the Crystal Tower and defeat Nocturnal.]] |
| 257 | * OutlivingOnesOffspring: His and Valsirenn's daughter died of a mysterious illness. Unlike Valsirenn who doubled down on her research as a Psijic scholar, Leythen lost his faith in the order completely. |
| 258 | * PetTheDog: His treatment of the dying Sapiarch [[spoiler:in the Crystal Tower]] is deeply merciful, calming her terror and ensuring that her final moments are filled with peace. |
| 259 | * SourSupporter: [[spoiler:Even when he's eventually roped into helping the player, he makes it very clear he's still scornful of your attempts to stop the Court of Bedlam.]] |

| 274 | * AntiVillain: To the point that she can barely be called a villain at all. [[spoiler:She steals the Staff of Towers in an effort to turn Nirn into a utopia, genuinely unaware that meddling with time can unmake reality.]] |
| 275 | * ArcVillain: [[spoiler:For a given value of "villain," she is ultimately the antagonist of the Psijic Order questline, but she genuinely means no harm.]] |
| 276 | * TheAtoner: [[spoiler:She's horrified by her actions at the end, and decides to spend her life atoning for nearly destroying time.]] |

| 278 | * ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler:As punishment for stealing the Staff of Towers, she is kicked out of the Psijic Order and becomes a wanderer for the rest of her days.]] |
| 279 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: She used to be the heir apparent to a wealthy merchant family, but she jumped at the chance to join the Psijic Order instead, causing her incompetent brother to inherit the family business and immediately drive them into poverty. The guilt she feels over this event is what causes her to think the Order can do more. |
| 280 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:When she realizes her actions nearly destroyed time itself, she is horrified.]] |
| 281 | * TragicHero: She goes from a promising and bright initiate to a [[spoiler:desperate thief trying to save Nirn by making it into a utopia by manipulating time, unaware that her actions will doom it instead. After she's defeated, she's utterly heartbroken and expelled from the Psijic Order.]] |
| 282 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:Would have become this had her plan succeeded. Her efforts to turn Nirn into a utopia would have instead doomed it.]] |

| 290 | [[folder:Zeira]] |
| 291 | A young and hotheaded Redguard, Zeira became the Guildmaster after the guild's previous leader and many other members were killed on a botched heist. |
| 292 | ---- |
| 293 | |
| 294 | * BestServedCold: [[spoiler:Her view on Nicolas, the former Guildmaster, who is revealed to have betrayed the Guild. When you track him down, she doesn't flat out ''order'' you to kill him, but pretty strongly encourages it.]] |
| 295 | * TheChainsOfCommanding: Zeira ''very'' unexpectedly gained leadership of the Guild, and expresses a great deal of doubt and insecurity at times. |
| 296 | * CulturalRebel: In contrast to the Alik'r Desert zone where the Redguard populace struggles against the Withered Hand due to the extreme cultural taboo against disrespecting the dead, Zeira has no compunctions about breaking into ancestral Redguard tombs and looting them for all they're worth. |
| 297 | * LeeroyJenkins: Zeira has a tendency to rush in when a problem arises, to her own detriment. |
| 298 | * MyGreatestFailure: She was the only survivor of a botched heist that killed the former Guildmaster and many other members of the guild. [[spoiler:You will later join her trying to do the same heist again, and discover that her LeeroyJenkins tendencies partially contributed to the disaster that befell the team.]] |
| 299 | * WithFriendsLikeThese: She and Velsa cannot interact without sniping at each other; Velsa is contemptuous of Zeira's impulsiveness and inexperience, while Zeira thinks Velsa is a smug jackass. |
| 300 | * WomanScorned: Downplayed. [[spoiler:Although Zeira had feelings for Nicolas and is ''pissed'' when she discovers he's alive and a traitor, she mainly expresses anger about how his actions affected the Guild. The degree to which ItsPersonal for her is left much more ambiguous.]] |
| 301 | * YouAreInCommandNow: She ended up as Guildmaster due to every other possible contender either dead, disappeared or retired. |

| 310 | * InTheBlood: Both she and her father became thieves. |
| 311 | * NewMeat: The youngest and freshest-faced member of the Guild. Despite that, she's quite competent at stealth and setting up heists. |
| 312 | * ParentalSubstitute: [[spoiler:She learns that her father had a long relationship with Lady Sulima, a Redguard noblewoman in Abah's Landing. Sulima ends up becoming something of a surrogate mother to Quen.]] |
| 313 | * {{Roofhopping}}: A favorite strategy of Quen's, given that she's acrobatic enough to reach high places. She even directly recommends this at one point, stating that no one ever looks up. |
| 314 | * ShipTease: There is some ship tease between her and the Vestige and the Vestige can even have her be the one to accompany them to a fancy party, saying that she is important to them. |

| 323 | * TheDandy: He's impeccably dressed at all times, and his living area has a few mirrors prominently displayed. |

| 332 | * CombatPragmatist: She has zero qualms about [[InTheBack attacking from behind.]] [[spoiler:As Chief Inspector Rhanbiq learns when the guild rescues Zeira from his ship.]] |
| 333 | * DefrostingIceQueen: Her tongue never grows less sharp, but she does warm up considerably to the player and the new Guild members over time. |
| 334 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She misses ''no'' opportunity to inform other Guild members how stupid their ideas are, particularly Zeira. Yet her backstory reveals [[spoiler:that she was a member of House Dres, and rebelled against her house by freeing all of her family's slaves, including the Khajiiti woman she had fallen in love with.]] |
| 335 | * SourSupporter: Velsa is a textbook example of the trope, being the oldest member of the group, and the one who makes no secret of how foolish and disastrous she thinks most of the Guildmaster's plans are. Nevertheless, she does not shirk when called upon to actually participate in missions. |

| 342 | |
| 343 | * BestServedCold: After he turned down Magnifica Falorah's advances, the resulting scandal ruined his life and career. [[spoiler:He bitterly tells you that he's ''happy'' to help the Guild break into her family's ancestral tomb as payback. This is especially vengeful given that dishonor to the dead is one of the highest taboos in Magnifica Falorah's culture (Redguard).]] |
| 344 | * NonActionGuy: He'll assist you with heists, even [[spoiler:with gaining access to al-Danobia tomb]], but flatly refuses to actually go anywhere dangerous or engage in combat. |
| 345 | * UltimateJobSecurity: Loche's fashions are so highly coveted that he's basically untouchable, despite his ties to the Thieves Guild. [[spoiler:During one quest when he's arrested by the Iron Wheel, the nobles of Abah's Landing throw such a fit that Loche gets a ''personal apology'' from Chief Inspector Rhanbiq, who is otherwise hell-bent on crushing the Guild.]] |

| 354 | * ArcVillain: [[spoiler:He's revealed to be the villain of the Thieves Guild story.]] |
| 355 | * BornLucky: He's shockingly lucky, and gets breaks that are incredibly unlikely. [[spoiler:He survived the death traps that killed his crew during the dowery heist through sheer chance, and then, just as it seems his number's up, he manages to escape justice thanks to a storm happening to shipwreck the prison ship he's on.]] |
| 356 | * ConArtist: Ultimately, this is his real specialty. His guildmates note that he absolutely sucks at every aspect of thievery except for sweet-talking marks. |
| 357 | * ConsummateLiar: As befitting a ConArtist, he lies so much and so often that it's difficult, if not impossible, to tell when or if he's telling the truth. |
| 358 | * DirtyCoward: [[spoiler:For much of the Thieves Guild quest line, he's built up as someone who double-crossed the Thieves Guild on purpose, but as it turns out, every action he's taken since the heist was a desperation tactic to save his own sorry hide.]] |
| 359 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:When he's ultimately caught at the end, he resigns himself to death and accepts it, or his execution, with remarkable grace.]] |
| 360 | * FatalFlaw: Hubris. He massively overestimated himself and his guild's ability to pull off the dowery heist, resulting in an unmitigated disaster that left the Thieves Guild on the run, and him [[spoiler:desperately playing defense to cover up his role in the whole thing. In the end, his habit of keeping trophies also bites him, as he kept al-Danobia's skull as a trophy. In a secret room next to his bride-to-be's room. Said bride-to-be is Danobia's descendant. His scheme falls apart once this fact is shown to her.]] |
| 361 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:His habit of keeping trophies bites him royally. Keeping your fiancee's ancestor's skull next to her room tends to do that.]] |
| 362 | * GoneHorriblyWrong: The dowery heist went wrong in every conceivable way. [[spoiler:His plan was to redirect the Iron Wheel to the Thieves Guild's previous hideout while he set up a Thieves Guild operation in his new city while posing as a wealthy merchant. However, Velsa's retirement caused him to proceed with an inexperienced crew that got themselves killed. From that point on, he's forced to throw the Thieves Guild under the bus just to keep himself from being captured, while moving on with his plan without them. And things get worse for him when the Guild discovers said bus-throwing.]] |
| 363 | * KarmaHoudini: He's [[spoiler:captured and ready to be taken to trial in the penultimate mission, only to escape justice thanks to a storm shipwrecking the ship transporting him, enabling him to live a life of peace by marrying a lonely noblewoman. In fact, the player can choose to spare his life.]] |
| 364 | * KarmaHoudiniWarranty: [[spoiler:Once the player finds him, they can either execute him on the sport or reveal his identity to his new wife, guaranteeing that he will be tried and executed.]] |
| 365 | * {{Slimeball}}: [[spoiler:He's revealed to not be the charismatic and likable guild master everyone thought he was: He is, in fact, a cowardly, selfish asshole who wouldn't hesitate to screw his friends over if it meant saving himself.]] |
| 366 | * XanatosSpeedChess: After his original plan went sideways, [[spoiler:he's forced to improvise the rest, and even does a pretty good job of it too, until the guild he screwed over to get that far figured out what he was up to.]] |

| 374 | |
| 375 | * ButtMonkey: Pretty much everything in the story goes wrong for him. [[spoiler:His first appearance has him set a trap for the Thieves Guild, only for two non-guild thieves to get caught instead, and they still get away. He's humiliated by the Thieves Guild in Abah's Landing time after time, he's forced to apologize to an affiliate of the Thieves Guild for rightly arresting him simply because the nobles of Abah's Landing loved the man too much, he finds out he's been working for the actual dowery thief, gets knocked out trying to bring in Zeira, loses Nicolas in a storm, and is finally relieved from his command after his incompetence makes it back to his superiors.]] |
| 376 | * CluelessDetective: He's a shockingly inept detective, [[spoiler:working for the ArcVillain without realizing it and being unable to make any meaningful headway against the Thieves Guild forces him to resign when his superiors find out just how incompetent he is.]] |
| 377 | * HeroAntagonist: He genuinely believes in justice, despite working for money, and is trying to capture the Thieves Guild because he genuinely believes they committed the crime they've been frame for. |
| 378 | * HowTheMightyHaveFallen: [[spoiler:His last appearance shows how he's gone from a wealthy SympatheticInspectorAntagonist to a poor wanderer driven only by a vengeful desire to capture the man responsible for his humiliation.]] |

| 391 | * BigGuyLittleGuy: Za'ji, a diminutive but spirited Khajiit, and his hulking first mate Caska are a textbook example of the trope. |
| 392 | * CantHoldTheirLiquor: To the point that Sai Sahan wants to track down the official historian and ensure that Za'ji's drunken antics do not become part of Dragonguard legend. |
| 393 | * TheLancer: To Sai Sahan. Where Sai is deeply serious, heroic and honorable, Za'ji is a LoveableRogue reformed pirate. |

Prefect Calo also geeks out over meeting him, claiming Remnus' tactics during the Colovian revolt were studied in military schools. |
| 426 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's initially ''very'' brusque and standoffish when asked for help about the dragon menace, but it's because he is genuinely concerned about diverting resources and protection from Senchal. |
| 427 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: A variation in that he fully acknowledges Sai Sahan and the Vestige are correct about the threats facing Senchal, but is so badly strained for resources that he cannot help. He also gives no opposition to his daughter joining the Dragonguard, aside from normal worries for her safety. |

| 442 | [[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/por_abnur_tharn.png]] |
| 443 | -->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/AlfredMolina |
| 444 | |
| 445 | Imperial Battlemage, Chancellor of the Imperial City, and ancestor of [[Characters/TheElderScrollsArena Jagar Tharn]]. It was he who convinced Varen to perform the ritual that would supposedly make him a true Dragonborn, and ultimately betrayed the rest of the Five Companions to ally himself with Mannimarco once the latter's treachery was revealed. |
| 446 | ---- |
| 447 | * ADarkerShadeOfGrey: He may prove to be an ally at some parts of the game, but he ''is'' a ruthless sorcerer who betrayed everyone in the Five Companions and aligned himself with Mannimarco just for his own benefit. |
| 448 | * ALighterShadeOfGrey: In Elsweyr. Still a bit of a jerk, still power hungry, but he caused the dragon menace now afflicting the province, and he will do anything necessary to help clean it up. |
| 449 | * CorruptPolitician: Chancellor of the Imperial City and apparent second-in-command to Mannimarco. |
| 450 | * TheCreon: As much as he desires power, he doesn't want the position of being emperor of Tamriel, and is content to just advise whosoever in charge. |
| 451 | * DeadpanSnarker: Some of his exchanges with Lyris and Sai are hilariously snotty. |
| 452 | * DirtyOldMan: He makes more than one casual reference to visiting prostitutes. |
| 453 | * TheDragon: To Mannimarco. [[spoiler:At least, that's what he likes to believe he is.]] |
| 454 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Whatever degree of evil you believe he is, he's outright disgusted that his half-sister Euraxia has conquered the Khajiiti kingdom of Anequina (or, at least, that she did it without sanction from the Elder Council), and that her method of keeping her ill-gotten kingdom pacified is to have siege engines ready to level Rimmen if Anequina dares even hint of trying to throw her out. |
| 455 | ** Additionally, he's certainly powerful and likes having power, but he never once made a move against the Emperor to seize the throne; he's always been content to be TheDragon to the Emperor, or perhaps the DragonInChief. |
| 456 | * EvilChancellor: Ally of Mannimarco and chancellor to his daughter, the Empress Regent of Cyrodiil. |
| 457 | * EvilSorcerer: Very proud of his skill in magic, to say the least. Also TheDragon to Mannimarco. |
| 458 | * ForgottenFallenFriend: Despite the growing number of Tharns you eventually have to kill across all content of the game, Abnur never seems to be too concerned with any of their deaths at your hands, even that of Clivia, ''his own daughter''. Granted, his bloodline is admittedly full of people with far worse moral characters than his, so it's probably a ''good'' thing that he doesn't care. |
| 459 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: Sai and Lyris both treat him with barely-concealed contempt (which he gives right back), even as they acknowledge his skills and knowledge as a mage and how essential he is to their efforts to mend the damage the Soulburst caused. [[spoiler:Averted afterwards; though he and Sai still snark quite a bit at each other, it's obvious to Sai that Abnur has either changed for the better or allowed his hidden good nature to shine through a bit more; after Abnur's HeroicSacrifice Sai outright mourns and regrets his death.]] |
| 460 | * HeelFaceTurn: Defects to the protagonists' side [[spoiler:after [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness outliving his usefulness to Mannimarco]].]] In Elsweyr and the Season of the Dragon storyine, he is unambiguously a good character, even if he's still more than a bit cranky and snarky. Even Sai Sahan now trusts him (even if he still doesn't like the man much). |
| 461 | * HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: [[spoiler:Playing through Elsweyr before the vanilla Main Quest apparently causes him to switch from being a good guy fighting alongside the Khajiit against an oppressor (his half-sister, no less), to a self-serving lackey of Mannimarco, and then back to fighting with the Good Guys in an attempt to stop the Planemeld.]] |
| 462 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Averted at the end of the main quest: he's the only one of the Five Companions you can't sacrifice to use their soul to empower you with Akatosh's power from the Amulet of Kings (apart from yourself; you have no soul, which also makes you the only one who can be empowered), as he is the only mage present and the only one who knows the ritual.]] |
| 463 | ** [[spoiler:(Apparently) played straight, however, at the end of the Season of the Dragon questline; after Kaalgrontiid is defeated at Dragonhold, the Aeonstone that the dragon was using to empower himself in an attempt to become a God is rendered unstable and will explode and wipe out at least Elsweyr, if not all of Tamriel. He stays behind to contain the explosion to only Dragonhold, saving tens of thousands of lives in the process. But then again, his death isn't 100% confirmed, as they NeverFoundTheBody...]] |
| 464 | * {{Hypocrite}}: [[spoiler:He lampshades a lot of Mannimarco's ego and lust for power. While he is against Mannimarco's plan to outplay Molag Bal, he has absolutely no problem in taking the Amulet of Kings at the end of the final quest and attempting to make himself a Dragonborn, according to Meridia.]] |
| 465 | * InsistentTerminology: Euraxia Tharn is not his sister, she's his half-sister, and he will not miss a chance to correct you or anyone else. |
| 466 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Ambitious? Yes. Prideful? Yes. Power-hungry? Beyond doubt. However, he makes it very clear that all that really matters to him is keeping what remains of the Empire whole and prosperous, and the citizens of Tamriel safe. In addition, if he screws up, he will do whatever possible to fix it. The gathering of power is just his secondary priority. |
| 467 | * {{Jerkass}}: Lyris makes it a point to call him out on being this whenever the opportunity presents itself. However... |
| 468 | * JerkassHasAPoint: His magical prowess and extensive knowledge of the Daedra, Coldharbour and Mannimarco's plans often prove invaluable. |
| 469 | * KavorkaMan: He is old, quite old, [[LongLived about 164 years old to be exact]], yet somehow has had at least ''seven'' wives. |
| 470 | * LongLived: He's 164 years old. Nobody knows why, given Imperials typically have far shorter lives than that. It might relate to his connection with [[{{Necromancer}} Mannimarco]], however. |
| 471 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Despite his advanced age, Abnur only looks to be about middle-aged for an Imperial. In fact, there are many male Imperials who look way older than him in the game, yet pale in comparison age-wise. |
| 472 | * PercussivePrevention: [[spoiler:In the [[https://youtu.be/cBAJvJVIFPI final season of the dragon trailer]] depicting the battle atop Dragonhold, Khamira hesitates before going through her escape portal, reluctant to leave Tharn behind. Tharn makes the decision for her by hitting her with a blast of magic that knocks her straight through the portal to safety!]] |
| 473 | * {{Pride}}: He thinks very highly of himself, to put it lightly. |
| 474 | * TheQuisling: Immediately allied himself with Mannimarco in order to keep his position of power within the Imperial Court and get his daughter on the throne as Empress-Regent. Mannimarco holds all the true power, though. |
| 475 | ** However, he claims he did so only so he could do what he could to preserve the Empire. That said, given the fact that he certainly is self-serving and ambitious even if he is telling the truth, keeping his holdings and power might have been a good reason for him to make that decision. |
| 476 | * RedemptionQuest: The nature of his involvement in the outbreak of Dragons in the Elsweyr chapter; his half-sister tricked him into releasing the dragons out into the province, and he assists the Khajiit militia in cleaning up the mess he helped create. |
| 477 | * TokenEvilTeammate: With the Five Companions being a rare case of a FiveManBand with ''two'' traitors, he's the one who ends up as this while Mannimarco remains an unrepentant villain. |
| 478 | * WhiteSheep: For all his flaws, Abnur is actually one of the ''nice'' members of House Tharn compared to Euraxia, Septima, and Javad, and ''especially'' [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsArena Jagar]], each of whom are out-and-out villains. |
| 479 | * YouDontLookLikeYou: Applies to his [[https://en.uesp.net/wiki/File:ON-render-Abnur_Tharn.jpg character model]] when compared with [[http://blur.com/media/pages/projects/elder-scrolls/1861598136-1571942215/wren_02.jpg how he looks in the cinematic trailers]], related cards in ''Legends'', and even some of the in-game achievement icons. Game!Abnur always looks the same, with slightly grayish hair, a trimmed goatee, and male-pattern baldness, with whatever's left of it being braided up behind his head, whereas his cinematic self has an almost full head of white hair and long flowing beard. |

| 486 | A Nord partial giant, Lyris is Varen's [[TheLancer Lancer]] and most loyal ally. She is also one of the first characters met in the game, helping you escape Coldharbour and freeing The Prophet. |
| 487 | ---- |
| 488 | * ActionGirl: Would you expect anything less from someone with giant blood in their veins? |
| 489 | * AffectionateNickname: Sai tenderly refers to her as "Snow Lily". |
| 490 | * AllTheOtherReindeer: Was teased when she was younger because of her height. |
| 491 | * AmazonianBeauty: Imagine having ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' at your back, except she were king size rather than fun size. Lyris shares Creator/SarahMichelleGellar's looks and bigger, taller, than any character you can make, and treated as very attractive. |
| 492 | * BadassNormal: She does said ass-kicking with no innate magic or enchanted equipment whatsoever. |
| 493 | * BerserkButton: Happens whenever Abnur Tharn starts being a DeadpanSnarker and mocking her or the other companions. |
| 494 | * BrokenBird: The regret of her parents deaths, both of which she believes herself to be responsible for, has left her this. |
| 495 | * DeadpanSnarker: Lyris is in fine form in ''Greymoor''. She has little patience for Svargrim's paranoia or Solitude's politics in general, and isn't afraid to let anyone know it. |
| 496 | * DefrostingIceQueen: A non-romantic example in ''Greymoor.'' [[spoiler:Lyris is initially dismissive of Svana as a drunken brat and nearly attacks Fennorian upon first meeting him, but by the end of the main questline, she's scolding the ''Vestige'' not to let anything happen to either of them.]] |
| 497 | * GoodScarsEvilScars: Has a scar along her left eye. |
| 498 | * HiddenDepths: Underneath that badass fighter is a woman plagued by SurvivorsGuilt on account of her mother's death from childbirth, and the racism she endured for being a partial giant. |
| 499 | * TheLancer: Follows Varen's choices without question and later The Prophet. |
| 500 | * MightyGlacier: Seems to favor strong, overwhelmingly powerful physical attacks and can take good damage, but isn't too quick. |
| 501 | * ObliviousToLove: Although it could not be more obvious that Sai Sahan is carrying a torch for her, Lyris seems genuinely bewildered at the idea that he has feelings for her. |
| 502 | * OddFriendship: In ''Greymoor'', she forms one with [[TomboyPrincess Svana]] and [[FriendlyNeighbourhoodVampire Fennorian]]. Some of the Vestige's dialogue teases her a little for becoming so protective of the pair. |
| 503 | * PluckyGirl: [[spoiler:She will save Sai Sahan with you or die trying.]] |
| 504 | * SnarkToSnarkCombat: She actually does have a few with Abnur Tharn. |
| 505 | * StatuesqueStunner: Lyris is ENORMOUS, towering over every other character in the game due to her giant ancestry and Sai is sweet on her. |
| 506 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: The only female member of the Five Companions. |
| 507 | * TookALevelInJerkass: Downplayed, but she's noticeably more curt and impatient in ''Greymoor'' and ''Markarth'' then she was in the core game. |
| 508 | * UnevenHybrid: She's somehow part Nord, part giant through her father's family. Try not to think too hard [[HotSkittyOnWailordAction about that.]] |
| 509 | * UnexplainedRecovery: [[spoiler:Much like Sai Sahan, she has no clue as to how she came back after sacrificing herself to the Amulet of Kings if chosen. It is implied that she truly died as she described Sovngarde but then somehow came back to life afterwards.]] |
| 510 | * WellDoneDaughterGirl: Believed her father hated her for the death of her mother in childbirth and it provides her a big source of resentment towards him because she simply wanted his love. [[spoiler:In truth, he loved her, but he was unable to find ways to show it and he died before he could do so.]] |

| 516 | |
| 517 | A Redguard noble who is the leader of the Imperial Dragonguard as well as being the Grandmaster of the Blades. He currently resides in Coldharbour being interrogated by Mannimarco. |
| 518 | ---- |
| 519 | * ADayInTheLimelight: [[spoiler:The ''Dragonhold'' DLC gives him a very prominent role as the leader of the newly re-formed Dragonguard.]] |
| 520 | * AFatherToHisMen: [[spoiler:In ''Dragonhold'', he takes this role with the Dragonguard, sternly but kindly shaping the ragtag crew into dragon hunters.]] |
| 521 | * AmazonChaser: He is shown to have feelings for Lyris when the player goes to rescue him from the Chamber of Seduction in the Halls of Torment. |
| 522 | * BigGood: [[spoiler:He is the driving force in stopping the dragon menace in Southern Elsweyr.]] |
| 523 | * ColdBloodedTorture: Was a victim of this at the hands of Mannimarco. |
| 524 | * DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: [[spoiler:In a sidequest in the Markarth DLC, he finally learns to summon his spirit sword, but only because he’s thinking of Lyris.]] |
| 525 | * GoodScarsEvilScars: An [[XMarksTheHero x-shaped one]] on the left side of his chest. |
| 526 | * MadeOfIron: It's said that no one can break him... [[spoiler:which is shown in the Halls of Torment quest, where he supposedly endures physical and mental torture for years.]] |
| 527 | * MyGreatestFailure: He considers his inability to master the sacred art of sword-singing passed down by his Yokudan ancestors to be this. [[spoiler:He's also pretty broken up about failing to protect Varen from Mannimarco.]] |
| 528 | * ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Like most Redguards. |
| 529 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: [[spoiler:In ''Dragonhold'' he is one of ''the'' most reasonable authority figures in the game as the head of the Dragonguard. He is completely correct about the Dragon threat, understandably skeptical about Za'ji's crew but willing to give them a chance, and listens to the Vestige at every turn.]] |
| 530 | * SnarkToSnarkCombat: He has a little bit of this with Abnur Tharn in the Valley of Blades quest. |
| 531 | * UnexplainedRecovery: [[spoiler:Even if you sacrificed him to power up the Amulet of Kings in the main storyline, he will show up in the ''Dragonhold'' prologue. Even he doesn't know how he is still alive.]] |
| 532 | * WalkingShirtlessScene: Doesn't wear a shirt. He gets a new outfit in ''Dragonhold'' which is slightly more covering but still leaves much of his chest bare. |
| 533 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: [[spoiler:In Southern Elsweyr's questline, the thin and transparent walkways of the Jonelight path make him ''very'' nervous, causing him to mutter "don't look down, don't look down..." to himself.]] |

| 539 | |
| 540 | An Altmer necromancer, Mannimarco serves not only as the hook for getting the PlayerCharacter into the story via stealing their soul but through his Worm Cult is a threat to all Tamriel. |
| 541 | ---- |
| 542 | %%zce* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler:Predictably so, this is his punishment for betraying Molag Bal.]] |
| 543 | * BadassLongRobe: You gotta admit, this guy has a damn good sense of fashion. |
| 544 | * TheChessmaster: He successfully plays Varen and the other four companions into getting the Amulet of Kings, thus kicking off the game's main plot. |
| 545 | * DarkIsEvil: This guy is ''the'' necromancer in Tamriel, and his companions found out he was EvilAllAlong way too late. |
| 546 | * TheDragon: To Molag Bal. Doubles as a DragonWithAnAgenda as he has his schemes to supplant his master. |
| 547 | * DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Oh, he definitely does when [[spoiler:Molag Bal finds out he's been plotting against him.]] |
| 548 | * EvilSorcerer: A textbook example. Necromancy is a big no-no in most of Tamriel, and he's TheDragon to [[GodOfEvil Molag Bal]]. |
| 549 | * FalseFriend: The others didn’t like him, but they still assumed he was loyal to their cause. They were horribly wrong. |
| 550 | * GodhoodSeeker: His true goal is to [[spoiler:replace Molag Bal as the God of Schemes.]] |
| 551 | * {{Hypocrite}}: [[spoiler:He calls you an arrogant, presumptuous, egotistical twaddle for wanting to defeat Molag Bal, yet he considers himself a god and was cocky enough to think he actually had a chance against the Lord of Domination. Abnur Tharn even lampshades this.]] |
| 552 | * KarmaHoudini: If you decide to [[spoiler:release him from Heart's Grief during the last main quest. He himself says you that will regret this decision, and the other Five Companions' reactions are [[WhatTheHellHero quite predictable]].]] |
| 553 | ** ForegoneConclusion: Mannimarco ''has'' to survive (for a given lich-allowing value of the word) the events of the game and ([[spoiler:eventually]]) be able to move around on Tamriel, given that he appears in ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIDaggerfall Daggerfall]]'' some six centuries later. |
| 554 | * {{Pride}}: Takes this to a whole new level. [[spoiler:He even thinks he can outplay Molag Bal and replace him as the new God of Schemes. This goes as well as you'd expect.]] |
| 555 | * ReligionOfEvil: His Worm Cult are responsible for dropping the Daedric Anchors across Tamriel, and have been rounding up sacrifices to do so. |
| 556 | * SmugSnake: He seems to think that he is a MagnificentBastard, but [[spoiler:the fact that Molag Bal learns of his betrayal and subjects him to eternal torment would suggest otherwise.]] |
| 557 | * TheStarscream: He attempts to [[spoiler:usurp Molag Bal]]. Doesn't go so well for him. |
| 558 | * TooDumbToLive: Mannimarco made an ''extremely'' grave mistake by trying to [[spoiler:outplay Molag Bal and take his place to become the new God of Schemes.]] To say that his arrogance cost him dearly would be putting it lightly. |
| 559 | * VillainousBreakdown: His torment after [[spoiler:trying to outplay Molag Bal]] leaves him begging for mercy that will not come for ages. |

| 563 | !!Dragons and their Allies |
| 564 | Due to Abnur Tharn's meddling, a pack of powerful dragons are unwittingly released into Northern Elsweyr and begin terrorizing the locals. Led by Kaalgrontiid, the dragons seek to reestablish their rule over Tamriel. |
| 565 | |
| 566 | [[folder: Kaalgrontiid]] |
| 567 | |
| 568 | The leader of the dragons released from the Halls of Colossus, who was once defeated by the khajiit hero Kunzar-Ri, and who seeks to dominate Elsweyr as revenge before spreading his rule across Tamriel. |
| 569 | ---- |
| 570 | |
| 571 | * TheAntichrist: Believes he is the subject of a khajiiti prophecy telling of the Dark Aeon, an evil god who will usher in an age of darkness over Tamriel. |
| 572 | * BigBad: Of Season of the Dragon. |
| 573 | * GodhoodSeeker: His goal is revealed to be to ascend to godhood so he can rival Akatosh and rule over Tamriel. |
| 574 | * {{Greed}}: Noted to be his FatalFlaw. Kaalgrontiid seeks power above all else, and is willing to steal power from his fellow dragons to take it. In the First Era, Kunzar-Ri tricked him into convincing his allies to store a portion of their power in Jode's Core, which was just enough power to defeat and trap them the first time. In his second try, [[spoiler:he begins using aeonstones to siphon power from his fellow dragons, causing many of his allies to abandon him in the final battle.]] |
| 575 | * GreenAndMean: Has green scales and is the main villain of his story arc. |
| 576 | * HijackedByGanon: He apparently fled defeated at the end of Elsweyr and hadn't been seen since, but [[spoiler:returns as the true villain of the Dragonhold DLC.]] |
| 577 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Doesn't care a lick about his fellow dragons, and is only in it for his own personal power. |
| 578 | * ScrewThisImOutOfHere: [[spoiler:Flees the battle after Jode's Core is destroyed instead of fighting to the end.]] |
| 579 | * SealedEvilInACan: A powerful dragon who was sealed in the Halls of Colossus in the past, only to be accidentally released by Abnur Tharn. |
| 580 | [[/folder]] |
| 581 | |
| 582 | [[folder: Nahfahlaar]] |
| 583 | |
| 584 | A dragon roosting on an island off the coast of Senchal who is revealed to mean no harm to the town, having chosen his area to oppose his rival, the dragon Laatvulon, joining an uneasy alliance with the Pelletine Dragonguard to achieve their mutual goal. |
| 585 | ---- |
| 586 | |
| 587 | * AloofAlly: To the Dragonguard. He is not a member and spends most of his time pursuing his own agenda, but he is definitively on their side. |
| 588 | * AntiHero: He's surly, brusque, ruthless, and doesn't value individual lives, but he is on the side of good nonetheless. |
| 589 | * ArchEnemy: Of Laatvulon, having helped to defeat him in the past. |
| 590 | * BigGood: Shares this role with Sai Sahan in the Dragonhold DLC. |
| 591 | * ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler:Leaves for parts unknown once the dragon threat is removed.]] |
| 592 | * IneffectualLoner: He doesn't get along with the Dragonguard and is usually off doing his own thing. This actually hurts more than it helps. |
| 593 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He is very hard to get along with, but he also genuinely means well. |
| 594 | * OnlyFriend: He doesn't get along with anyone in the Dragonguard except for the Vestige. |
| 595 | * RedIsHeroic: Is the only major dragon with red scales, and is one of the only good ones seen in the game. |
| 596 | * TokenHeroicOrc: He's the only heroic dragon seen in the whole game. |
| 597 | [[/folder]] |

| 599 | [[folder: Laatvulon]] |
| 600 | A dragon that, through sheer coincidence, was defeated and imprisoned in a completely different prison from the Halls of Colossus, and escaped around the same time as Kaalgrontiid. Starting a cult called the New Moon, he seeks to usher in the Dark Aeon and wipe out all life on Tamriel. |
| 601 | ---- |
| 602 | |
| 603 | * AncientEvil: He was defeated in ancient times, and is released in the Second Era. |
| 604 | * ApocalypseCult: Runs one in the form of the New Moon, which seeks to wipe out all life on Tamriel except for their followers. |
| 605 | * ArchEnemy: Nahfahlaar. They have been at war for centuries. |
| 606 | * ArcVillain: Of Dragonguard. [[spoiler:At first.]] |
| 607 | * AxCrazy: He's completely insane, driven by a desire to kill everything on Tamriel that he can. |
| 608 | * BigBadEnsemble: A completely different dragon unaligned with Kaalgrontiid, but whose ambitions are on par with his. [[spoiler:Subverted however, when it turns out he was working for Kaalgrontiid the entire time.]] |
| 609 | * DarkIsEvil: His scales are all black, and he is pure evil. |
| 610 | * TheHeavy: He's the driving threat through most of the Dragonguard story arc, [[spoiler:and is defeated 2/3 of the way through, which leads to the reveal that he was working for Kaalgrontiid.]] |
| 611 | * OmnicidalManiac: His goal is the complete and utter destruction of all life on Tamriel. [[spoiler:Except no, that was a lie he told his cult so that they could help him pave the way for Kaalgrontiid's rule.]] |
| 612 | * SealedEvilInACan: A completely different can that he escaped from at the same time as Kaalgrontiid, by sheer chance. |

| 615 | [[folder: Ra'khajin]] |
| 616 | Laatvulon's dragon priest who was once a member of the Pride of Alkhosh. However, when he learned he would never become the Mane of the khajiit, he betrayed the order and became the dragon priest of the New Moon Cult instead. |
| 617 | ---- |
| 618 | |
| 619 | * TheDragon: To Laatvulon. He's his master's representative in the New Moon Cult. |
| 620 | * DrivenByEnvy: His motivation. He wants the title of Mane, and is willing to side with dragons to claim it for himself. |
| 621 | * ItsAllAboutMe: His utterly selfish motivation for siding with his genocidal maniac of a master is that he didn't get to be Mane. |

| 624 | [[folder: Mulaamnir]] |

| 626 | ---- |
| 627 | |
| 628 | * AffablyEvil: Unlike most of his kin, he's remarkably polite and is willing to engage the Vestige in conversation, even offering a chance to leave Elsweyr out of sincere gratitude for releasing him. |
| 629 | * TheBrute: He's his master's enforcer and protector. |
| 630 | * FinalBoss: Of the Elsweyr chapter, [[spoiler:as he's defending his master who is busy extracting power from Jode's Core.]] |
| 631 | * GoThroughMe: [[spoiler:During the final battle, he tries to hold off the Vestige and their allies from stopping Kaalgrontiid siphoning power from Jode's Core.]] |
| 632 | * NobleDemon: Unlike his kin, he is genuinely grateful to the Vestige and Abnur for releasing him and his allies, and is wiling to peacefully allow them to leave Elsweyr. |

| 634 | |
| 635 | [[folder: Zumog Phoom]] |
| 636 | An orc necromancer serving under Euraxia Tharn as her strategist and court mage, and represents her interests in her alliance with Kaalgrontiid. Is usually accompanied by the head of Cadwell the Betrayer. |
| 637 | ---- |
| 638 | |
| 639 | * TheDragon: Second in command to Euraxia. [[spoiler:Until he double crosses her to serve Kaalgrontiid instead.]] |
| 640 | * EnigmaticMinion: To Euraxia. He corresponded with her at first, and later brought an undead army to her, but has always been pursuing his own agenda. |
| 641 | * IFightForTheStrongestSide: He's willing to work for Euraxia as long as she's the power in Elsweyr, but [[spoiler:once the dragons return, he doesn't hesitate to sell her out to them.]] |
| 642 | [[/folder]] |
| 643 | |
| 644 | [[folder: Cadwell the Betrayer]] |
| 645 | The original mind and body whom Sir Cadwell is based upon. However, unlike his gallant soul-shriven counterpart, the Betrayer is a crude, self-serving monster who is revived by Zumog Phoom as a floating head. |

| 647 | |
| 648 | * BackFromTheDead: He's revived as a result of Zumog Phoom's efforts. |
| 649 | * EvilOldFolks: He's quite old, and is a villain who has decided to align with dragons. |
| 650 | * FallenHero: He was once a revered and beloved hero, but at some point, his lust for power overcame any morality he had. |
| 651 | * HateSink: He's cruel, selfish, constantly insults everyone around him, and is just plain unpleasant. |
| 652 | * {{Jerkass}}: The one thing that separates him from the other villains is just how much of a colossal dick he is. |
| 653 | * LivingMacGuffin: Well, undead Macguffin, but he's the only one who knows the location of Jode's Core, making him very valuable. |
| 654 | * ManlyFacialHair: The only nice thing anyone can say about him is he does have a magnificent beard. |
| 655 | * MasterSwordsman: During his time as a knight, he was regarded as one of, if not, the greatest swordsmen of his time. |
| 656 | * TheSociopath: Displays all the hallmarks of one. He has no empathy, violent impulses, is casually cruel, and shockingly short-sighted. |

| 660 | !!Western Skyrim |

| 666 | The High King of Western Skyrim and Jarl of Haafingar, Svargrim rules his kingdom independent of any of the three Alliances, including their sundered Nordic brethren of Jorunn Skald-King and the Ebonheart Pact's Eastern Skyrim. His wife is Queen Gerhyld and his daughter and heir is Princess Svana. |
| 667 | ---- |
| 668 | |
| 669 | * AbusiveParent: He is not very supportive or loving at all towards his daughter. [[spoiler:After his true colors are revealed, he has no hesitation about killing her when she takes up arms alongside you against him.]] |
| 670 | * ArcVillain: [[spoiler:He's the final boss and the chief antagonist you deal with during the ''Greymoor'' storyline, even though he answers to Rada al-Saran and the Gray Host, who is the big bad for the entire ''Dark Heart of Skyrim'' arc.]] |
| 671 | * AmbitionIsEvil: Svargrim has been an ambitious jerk who alienated his daughter and dreams of unifying Skyrim under his rule for years before you meet him. [[spoiler:This is why he willingly betrays his kingdom and family and joins up with the Gray Host.]] |
| 672 | * ExcessiveMourning: [[spoiler:His wife is murdered by the Gray Host, which drives Svargrim so far into grief that he refuses to trust anyone.]] [[spoiler:This winds up being subverted; he actually helped arrange his wife's death, because he turned traitor before you ever arrived in Western Skyrim. The mourning is just a ruse that he uses to keep his refusal to help you and Lyris completely believable.]] |
| 673 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: Quite a bit regarding [[spoiler:his true allegiance]]. |
| 674 | ** [[spoiler:When the Queen is assassinated, Pentarch Khorb doesn't even try to go after Svargrim as well and immediately flees.]] |
| 675 | ** One of the first things you learn during the main quest is that [[spoiler:Svargrim has given his men explicit orders not to touch the Reachmen's Witch Pikes. This sets off a lot of red flags even ''before'' you learn that the Witch Pikes are central to the Harrowstorms.]] |
| 676 | ** At the end of "Danger in the Holds", [[spoiler:you see a large group of docile Harrowfiends being escorted to the church, under Svargrim's orders. This turns out to be so they can burst from the church once Svargrim activates Solitude's Harrowstorm.]] |
| 677 | * OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:Transforms into a Vampire Lord during the final battle in ''Greymoor''.]] |
| 678 | * ProperlyParanoid: He's surrounded by the Reach (which is independent and ruled by the barbaric Reachmen) on the west and the rival Kingdom of Eastern Skyrim, part of the Ebonheart Pact, on the east. [[spoiler:Events of the game show that the Reach is a colossal threat... in fact, such a threat that Svargrim himself has already turned traitor and joined them.]] |
| 679 | * TheRival: He is one to Skald-King Jorunn, ruler of Eastern Skyrim and head of the Ebonheart Pact; the fact that his enemy is a lot stronger than him is part of what drives his paranoia against you and Lyris. |
| 680 | * RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Inverted. He outright refuses to take any actions against the Gray Host and Icereach Coven, only moving very slowly to actually do anything, and his actions are actually counter-intuitive. [[spoiler:Winds up being subverted; turns out he actually was doing a whole lot. Except, he was doing it for the other side; he's a traitor.]] |
| 681 | * ShamelessSelfPromoter: In contrast to other monarchs throughout the game, Svargrim prominently displays portraits of himself throughout the Blue Palace. [[spoiler:Which foreshadows his attempt to sacrifice his family and kingdom for his own personal gain.]] |

| 698 | * FieryRedhead: To a tee. She has bright red hair, and can be HotBlooded, rebellious and impulsive. |
| 699 | * ModestRoyalty: She's not on good terms with her father and spends as much time as she can drinking at the local tavern. |
| 700 | * OddFriendship: Her closest friend and favorite drinking buddy is a middle-aged Orc barfly. |
| 701 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: She doesn't have much authority, but she's eminently reasonable. |
| 702 | * RebelliousPrincess: Svana is a dark take on the trope: it is implied that she acts out and drinks heavily to cope with her alienation from her paranoid, abusive father. |
| 703 | * ReluctantRuler: She doesn't want the throne, and nor does her father want to give it to her. She grows into the rulership more as the questline progresses. [[spoiler:At the end, after her father's revealed as a traitor and is killed, she assumes the Jarldom of Haafingar and all indications are she will be a much better leader than her father was.]] |
| 704 | * RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: She does A LOT to work with you. |

| 718 | * EtTuBrute: [[spoiler:In the past, he had 13 close comrades during his time in the Grey Host before becoming its leader, but one of them, the one he had the closest bond with, eventually betrayed him. Any mention of this 13th former comrade is his single biggest BerserkButton.]] |
| 719 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The Gray Host treat each other as siblings and Rada is especially pissed at you for killing Tzinghalis and Ulfra, damning their souls to Coldharbour. |
| 720 | * EvilCounterpart: To Verandis Ravenwatch. [[spoiler:Much like Verandis, he is deeply loyal and caring toward his adoptive family of vampires and werewolves, to the point of challenging Molag Bal himself for their sake. Unlike Verandis, he is willing to sacrifice untold numbers of lives to achieve his goals.]] |
| 721 | * FallenHero: Once a legendary Yokudan Ansei, now a murderous Vampire warlord. |
| 722 | * GreaterScopeVillain: Of both ''Harrowstorm'' and ''Greymoor''. He never appears in person in the first and only briefly confronts you personally in the second, but his presence and influence is felt throughout the story of both. |
| 723 | * MasterSwordsman: As a former Ansei, he's this by default. His greatest feat when he was alive was dueling Leki, the Yokudan WarGod, for three days and three nights before breaking her blade in two. [[spoiler:Sure enough, he conjures his own personal [[LaserBlade Sehai]] during the final battle.]] |
| 724 | * OurVampiresAreDifferent: He's a Vampire Lord, which are among the strongest Vampires in all of Nirn. |
| 725 | * VillainousValour: Say what you will for the guy, he’s willing to spit in the eye of Molag Bal himself to try to free his friends. |
| 726 | * WeCanRuleTogether: He is almost as obsessed with bringing [[spoiler:Count Verandis Ravenwatch]] over to his side as he is with his actual overall plan. |

| 732 | |
| 733 | An Altmer vampire dispatched by House Ravenwatch to investigate vampire activity in Western Skyrim. |
| 734 | ---- |
| 735 | * AmbiguouslyRelated: Fennorian's exact relationship with Verandis is not made very clear at any point, despite the length of time he's in your company. He specifically refers to Verandis as his father, which could be true considering how both are Altmers, although the Count doesn't explicitly acknowledge him as his son, and neither does anyone else of House Ravenwatch. Even Fennorian's official Meet the Characters blog post cast doubt on his relation to Verandis, saying that while he is in most likelihood related to the Count, the relation is probably rather distant. |
| 736 | * BadassBookworm: Fennorian is not a natural combatant and mainly serves as TheSmartGuy of the team. However, [[spoiler:during the final battle in Solitude, Lyris reports that he was nigh-unstoppable once he unleashed his full vampiric powers]]. |
| 737 | * DistressedDude: Poor Fennorian is repeatedly captured and/or harmed throughout the Greymoor questline, most severely when the Ashen Lord's forces abduct and [[ColdBloodedTorture experiment on]] him. |
| 738 | * HappilyAdopted: While all the Ravenwatch members like Verandis, Fenn is the only one to call him "father". |
| 739 | * HowDoIShotWeb: He is admittedly very new to being a vampire, and as a result, sometimes struggles with his vampiric powers and hunger. |
| 740 | * NiceGuy: Fennorian is genuinely kind and heroic, and adheres scrupulously to the Ravenwatch principles of ethical blood consumption. [[spoiler:Even when near-death after excruciating torture by Tzinghalis, he rejects the idea of drinking blood of anyone unwilling in order to recover.]] |
| 741 | * OddFriendship: With Lyris and Svana, who initially distrust him as a vampire. Also with Old Mjolen, a Nord witch who normally dislikes "scholarly" mages, but who nevertheless seems to enjoy collaborating with Fennorian. |

| 743 | !!Companions |
| 744 | First introduced in ''Blackwood'', Companions are friendly [=NPCs=] who will tag along with the Vestige as followers after helping them out with their quests. Each Companion has his or her likes and dislikes to suit their personality and backstory, and Vestiges who manage to build a stable friendship with them will be promoted to TrueCompanions status and earn their loyalty. |

| 749 | |
| 750 | A Dunmer relic hunter and Daedra scholar who is a part of a huge family. First appears in Blackwood where she needs help to rescue her adventuring party and joins you afterwards as a sign of thanks for helping her out. |
| 751 | ---- |
| 752 | * ActionMom: Her mother was an adventurer before her and still occasionally travels the world. If her brother Liam survives her recruiment quest, he'll remark that their mother could have beaten the quest villain with just her ''cookpot'', and its not made clear of he's joking or not. |
| 753 | * AdventurerArchaeologist: A relic hunter and Daedra scholar who moonlights as an adventurer. |
| 754 | * AerithAndBob: She has this dynamic with her brother, who despite being a Dunmer has the oddly-human name of...Liam. |
| 755 | * BerserkButton: She absolutely hates anything and everything associated with the Dark Brotherhood. Using the Blade of Woe, even against hostile [=NPCs=], will anger her, and even getting ''near'' the door to the Gold Coast Sanctuary is enough to immediately dock 10 points off her rapport meter. |
| 756 | * CastingAShadow: Her class skills is a modified version of the Nightblade skills. |
| 757 | * CulturalRebel: A whole family of them in fact. While she is a devote Tribunal worshipper, that's about the only part of Dunmer culture that she embraces and even then, she's not a fan of Ordinators. She and her immediate family are against slavery in Morrowind, would rather support each other instead of the House they are technically a part of, and she personally feels that ancestral worship is outdated because they are just as fallible as any mortal. |
| 758 | * FriendToBugs: She has an affinity for Torchbugs and butterflies, and disapproves of harvesting them for materials. Literally any other bug is fair game though, and she seems to have it out for fetcherflies in particular. |
| 759 | * LadyDrunk: Mirri loves alcohol, and making some in her company is a good way to gain rapport. |
| 760 | * LadySwearsALot: Mirri has quite a foul mouth if you know what the {{Foreign Cuss Word}}s she spouts on a regular basis mean. Her perennial favorite seems to be variations of "fetch", which is the Dunmeri equivalent of the F-word. Really, the only cuss she never uses is "n'wah", which is the Dunmeri N-word, so for those who have played through ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind'' and heard all of the local swear words, Mirri wouldn't sound out of place in Third Era Vvardenfell at all. Her Meet the Character page even compares her swearing to that of a maormer pirate. |
| 761 | * MassiveNumberedSiblings: Her immediate family is apparently large enough that populated cities "remind her of home". Other than her brother Liam, Mirri mentions at least three other siblings in dialogue, and it's implied that she still has a lot more that we've yet to see or hear of. |
| 762 | * TheStraightAndArrowPath: Although Mirri states that she is comfortable with everything, she seems to have a preference for bows and [[DualWielding daggers]], with a stronger lean towards the former option given that it's her default weapon, and her unique ultimate ability is also a massive critical arrow shot. |
| 763 | * WellDoneSonGuy: She loves her mom but she has plenty of hang ups about her because she's focused on following through a vow to return something to the latter father's grave. |
| 764 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She does actually hate and fear snakes, and has unique quotes that she will say whenever you kill one. |

| 769 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/por_bastian_hallix.png]] |
| 770 | -->'''Voiced by:''' Griffin Puatu |
| 771 | An Imperial who is a member of a disgraced noble family in High Rock who was raised by a rival family. First appeared in Blackwood where he has to rescue his foster brother from a cult. |
| 772 | ---- |
| 773 | * {{Bookworm}}: Bastian loves books, and his rapport with you increases when you read one. |
| 774 | * ChildhoodFriend: With Quistley Silvelle, who is also his foster brother, though "friend" is taking it very charitably, as Bastian is very visibly annoyed of Quistley's SpoiledBrat attitude in all of their interactions. |
| 775 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: He was part of a family who betrayed King Emeric and was unofficially adopted into the Sivelle family who treated him more like a servant rather than as another family member or even nobility. [[spoiler:Add in the fact that they lied to him about being the last member of his family.]] |
| 776 | * DoesNotLikeSpam: Lowers affinity whenever you cook something that has cheese in it. It is implied that this is because he's lactose intolerant. |
| 777 | * GoodIsNotSoft: Unlike Mirri who freaks out if you use the Blade of Woe under any circumstances, Bastian is completely fine with it being used against bandits and other hostile [=NPCs=]. Some of his battle quotes also reveal he has little pity for bad guys you've killed. |
| 778 | * HiddenDepths: |
| 779 | ** Loves magic in general, from studying it to seeing different types of magic. He's even a devote follower of Julianos. |
| 780 | ** Some players were shocked to discover the massive tattoos decorating Bastian's chest and arms, a seeming contrast with his otherwise nerdy and straitlaced nature. |
| 781 | * IdealHero: Bastian is a through-and-through NiceGuy who strives to help the weak and punish the wicked, and he's not going to go two steps without reminding you of that. Gaining positive rapport with him is as easy as killing bandits and cultists, though he will be quick to berate you if you commit crimes in his presence like murdering civilians, stealing, or running away from a guard who's trying to arrest you. |
| 782 | * KnightInShiningArmor: He has the personality down to a tee although this doesn't stop him from wearing something less traditional like leather or mage robes. Curiously enough, his love for magic helps maintain that image of him. |
| 783 | * MagicKnight: He's skilled with both sword and shield and knows enough magic to be confident about using a staff although he can be used for any role without much issue. |
| 784 | * TheNoseKnows: Bastian can apparently "smell magic", as he will usually claim when a Psijic portal is nearby. |
| 785 | * PlayingWithFire: He uses a modified version of the Dragonknight tree with most of his abilities revolving around doing fire damage, and initially wields an Inferno Staff. |
| 786 | * RaceLift: Kind of. Bastian was originally intended to be a Breton instead of Imperial, according to his pre-release Meet the Characters page and his default Ancestral Breton garb. |
| 787 | * SinsOfOurFathers: His family rebelled against the former king and was punished accordingly. Bastian was only really young when it happened and was spared when the Sivelle family raised him to ensure that he's loyal to High Rock. |
| 788 | * TheUnfavorite: He occupied a Cinderella type of role in the Silvelle household, describing himself as "not quite a brother and not quite the help." This was in contrast to the Silvelles' biological son Quistley, who grew up absolutely spoiled. |
| 789 | * WelcomeToCorneria: He misses few opportunities to cheerfully inform you "This is a GREAT area for harvesting!" whenever you pull a resource node, even if you're in the middle of a bandit cave, draugr-infested crypt, daedric hellscape, etc. |

| 794 | |
| 795 | -->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LauraBailey |
| 796 | ---- |
| 797 | * ChildhoodFriendRomance: She had a crush on her friend Aurelia since they were young and even gave the latter her family signet ring as a token of her love. To her dismay, she realizes that Aurelia doesn't think of her this way. |
| 798 | * GoodIsNotSoft: Like Bastian, she doesn't object to using the Blade of Woe against hostile [=NPCs=]. |
| 799 | * IdealHero: She's in the same boat as Bastian in this regard, with her morality being firmly on the lawful side. As such, Isobel detests acts of crime, such as murder or thievery, and going near shady establishments like the Dark Brotherhood sanctuary or outlaw refuges will earn her ire, though at high positive rapport she will tolerate your shenanigans as long as you don't do them in her company. |
| 800 | * TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: She has more than a few idol figures among your list of expanded acquaintances: |
| 801 | ** Naturally for a Breton knight aspirant, Isobel is a massive {{Fangirl}} of High King Emeric and regularly {{Squee}}s in his presence. Talking to him earns the most positive rapport out of her of all three faction leaders, and she's also noted to be an avid reader of his writing. |
| 802 | ** She also idolizes Lyris Titanborn, and speaking to her in Isobel's presence will give as much positive rapport as Emeric. Based on her flustered responses, Isobel might very well have a crush on the half-giant warrior. |
| 803 | ** To a lesser extent, she also deeply respects the Undaunted folks, especially Bolgrul. Visiting any of their enclaves nets a small rapport bump and positive remarks from her, and completing Bolgrul's daily quests will earn the Vestige considerable appreciation. |
| 804 | * MagicKnight: While she claims to be not much of a mage, she does make use of a few spells even before formally joining the player. |
| 805 | * NonIdleRich: Her family owns a rather respectable and profitable trading company, but Isobel chose the path of chivalry and became a knight in order to help the people of High Isle. |
| 806 | * ThePaladin: Isobel is a templar knight, which naturally makes her one. |
| 807 | * ReligiousBruiser: Like Bastian, Isobel is a devout worshipper of Stendarr, and would constantly pray to him in battle or while traveling with the Vestige. Unlike him, however, Isobel is a career knight rather than a scholar who just so happened to be trained in magic. |
| 808 | * SweetTooth: Isobel loves sweet things and talks constantly about them, and entering cities with her will almost immediately prompt her to ask if she could visit a local candy store. In fact, crafting candies in her presence is a good way to make her like you more, and her keepsake item is her personal trove of sweets. Amusingly, if her rapport level is Allied or higher, Isobel will apparently adore you more than she does saltwater taffy. |
| 809 | * WhenYouComingHomeDad: One of her idle quotes has Isobel asking the Vestige about their parents, while also sharing her own story of hers and her family business. While she is proud of their accomplishments, she also wasn't exactly happy about their absence in her youth due to them being constantly away on business trips, which is implied to be one of the reasons why Isobel ultimately chose to become a knight instead of a merchant like her parents. |

| 814 | -->'''Voiced by:''' Elysia Rotaru |
| 815 | ---- |
| 816 | * AnimalJingoism: Being basically a cat person, Ember has a pronounced disliking for dogs. In gameplay terms, this translates into positive rapport whenever you kill a wolf or werewolf in her presence. Normal house dogs are fine, however, if only due to the essential status set on them that makes them immune to harm. |
| 817 | * BerserkButton: She really doesn't like fishing, finding it ''excrutiatingly'' boring. Downplayed somewhat as, compared to Mirri's hatred of the Dark Brotherhood and Bastian and Isobel's disdain for murder and theivery (which all carry hefty rapport penalties), fishing with Ember present only docks a single rapport point. |
| 818 | ** As someone who values personal freedom, she ''abhores'' slavery in all its forms. [[spoiler:When you and her are forced to parlay with a sleazy Telvanni slaver to find one of her missing childhood friends, it takes all of Ember's self-control to resist the urge to put a knife in his ribs]]. |
| 819 | * ByTheLightsOfTheirEyes: How she was given her current name. Ember wears the Darloc's Golden Eyes cosmetic by default, which gives her eyes a bright golden shine that her old friends used to describe as being similar to the warm flickering embers of a fire. |
| 820 | * DoWrongRight: Ember openly cheers the player on and has a positive rapport increase whenever the player successfully commits certain larceny-type crimes like pickpocketing or looting a safebox... but disapproves (with corresponding loss of rapport) if the player messes up and gets caught. |
| 821 | * IJustWantToHaveFriends: Despite her [[SadClown chipper demeanor]], speaking to Ember and doing her personal quests reveals that she's desperately longing for companionship, since whatever relationships she had with other people before the Vestige came along either didn't work out or were tragically taken from her. Although she tried distracting herself by studying magic, the loneliness still pokes through, though the player can become her best friend if they're willing to go along with her shenanigans, in which case Ember will pour her heart out out of gratitude. |
| 822 | * ItsAllMyFault: She blames herself for her childhood friends disappearing since she was away when they were captured. |
| 823 | * KleptomaniacHero: Naturally for a khajiit, Ember has a penchant for nicking things that are not nailed down. Thievery and committing minor crimes is a good way to earn positive rapport with her, assuming you don't get caught. She also likes it if you ''do'' get caught stealing but refuse to surrender to guards, since resisting arrests and successfully fleeing will net you a lot of points, while yielding and paying bounty will make her scoff. |
| 824 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: "Ember" isn't her real name, but a nickname she adopted after people likened her glowing eyes to the warm embers of a campfire. |
| 825 | * SatisfiedStreetRat: Ember grew up scrapping for survival on the city streets. She's quite proud of what it taught her, and likes it when *you* show similar skills (such as stealing without getting caught). |
| 826 | * ShockAndAwe: As a Sorcerer, she naturally learns a good number of shock spells, and initially carries a Lightning Staff. |
| 827 | * StreetUrchin: She grew up in the streets and got by through petty thievery and other such mischief. Killing an enemy while Ember is the active companion may sometimes prompt her to remind her enemies never to "mess with a street kid". |

| 833 | * CombatMedic: Starts out with a Restoration Staff and can fight as well as heal, though it's mainly for show during his time as a quest follower. |
| 834 | * CulturalRebel: Being a Redguard mage is automatically one since they don't really like the use of magic. He pretty much states that he is disowned by his remaining family for being a mage alone. |
| 835 | * DiscardAndDraw: As a quest follower, he makes use of Fatecarver and Rune of Displacement, like enemy arcanists, but when he becomes a formal companion, he loses those skills entirely, but can learn other Arcanist skills and an ultimate attack neither player nor enemy arcanists can access. |
| 836 | * DoesNotLikeSpam: He does not like coffee at all. The sight of seeing someone drink it is enough for him to be disgusted. |
| 837 | * ForScience: Mage equivalent since magic is treated like science in the ''Elder Scrolls'' universe. All of his experiments are in pursuit of knowledge, no matter how unethical they are. |
| 838 | * MustHaveCaffeine: He is addicted to tea, to the point where his reward for completing everything with him is his own personal tea set. He can make do without coffee though. |
| 839 | * NoodleIncident: He does not like to go to Eyevea or Arteaum, as it is implied that he did something to have members of both the Mages Guild and Psijic Order want him dead. |
| 840 | * SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: To paraphrase an encounter with his ex-boyfriend, he speaks with a ten coins worth of words when only one would do. |
| 841 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He ''hates'' chitinous creatures, ''especially'' mudcrabs and dreugh. When you have to venture into a dreugh nest as part of his questline, he makes it clear that he is ''not'' okay and is actively resisting the urge to have a panic attack. |

| 848 | * CallForward: His questline contains many allusions to what would one day become the Twin Lamps, an abolitionist movement that operated in Vvardenfell during the events of ''Morrowind''. |
| 849 | * DualWielding: Starts off with two axes. |
| 850 | * HatesBeingTouched: When a Dumner associate of his put a hand on his shoulder unprompted, he responded by ''clawing his eye out''. To the Dumner's credit, he admits that he doesn't actually hold it against him, since the resulting scar makes him look intimidating. |
| 851 | * HeroesGoneFishing: He likes it when you take a break from adventuring to go fishing. |
| 852 | * IdentityAmnesia: He doesn't remember a thing about his past to the point where he almost killed someone who freed him as a slave. |
| 853 | * RapeAsBackstory: Implied. Sharp's former master is repeatedly described as being obsessed with Sharp, seems to regard him with a sort of twisted affection, and many of the notes written by him are weirdly focused on (and complementary towards) Sharp's physical appearance. Combined with Sharp's [[HatesBeingTouched hatred of physical contact]] (a common trait among sexual assault survivors), it heavily indicates that Sharp was used as a SexSlave. |
| 854 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He ''detests'' ghosts and constructs, and killing such creatures in his presence is a good way to increase his rapport. |

| 864 | * DealWithTheDevil: As per usual with Vile, this is his specialty. |
| 865 | * TheDragon: Barbas serves as this as well as the FinalBoss for the ''Morrowind'' chapter, being fully cooperative with his master's schemes in this case in contrast to his role as TheConscience to Vile in other appearances. |
| 866 | * EnemyMine: [[spoiler:After Nocturnal turns on him and Mephala at the climax of ''Summerset'', he agrees to help the Vestige for a chance to get back at her. He even agrees to join Sotha Sil's Coldharbour Compact once Nocturnal is defeated.]] |

| 909 | * AndIMustScream: When you [[spoiler:"kill" him. Seems like the God of Brutality that has caused so much pain to mortals has finally received immense agony in return.]] |
| 910 | * BerserkButton: Whatever you do, ''don't'' betray him! [[spoiler:Mannimarco]] learned this the hard way. |
| 911 | * BigBad: He's this for the entire game. |
| 912 | * CarryABigStick: It's not so fun being on [[spoiler:the receiving end of his mace]] this time around. |
| 913 | * TheDreaded: Many of the Daedric Princes qualify as this, but few names in Tamriel inspire as much unmitigated fear as his does. Especially during this time period. |
| 914 | * EvilSoundsDeep: His voice when Dark Anchors appear. |
| 915 | * GodOfEvil: While he's not the only malevolent Daedric Prince in Oblivion, he's certainly the most prominent one in this game, and the largest threat to Tamriel. Indeed, out of all the Daedric Lords, he's the only one who seems to be purely malevolent; even Mehrunes Dagon, BigBad of Oblivion, had positive attributes as the god of change and revolutions. Molag Bal's spheres are Domination and Brutality, which generally means [[SocialDarwinist making sure the strong oppress the weak as cruelly as possible]]. |
| 916 | * GracefulLoser: After the final battle when you defeat him, you transport to [[spoiler:the Colored Rooms of Meridia to reclaim your soul. He appears as a phantom and congratulates you in a cold and venomous tone.]] |
| 917 | ** This might also double as {{Foreshadowing}}. [[spoiler:At first, he says that you could have [[WeCanRuleTogether been his servant]], and that the world would have been better off had the Planemeld been allowed to succeed, and that if it had, he would have 'protected you' and that there are 'far worse masters than him.' At first, this sounds like him being a SoreLoser, but considering what has been going on in the Craglorn arc, ''he might have actually been serious.'']] |
| 918 | * KnightOfCerebus: Molag's always been bad news in ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'', but he takes it up to eleven this time around. |
| 919 | * TheManBehindTheMan: Mannimarco worships him. [[spoiler:Well, not for long.]] |
| 920 | * RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Why Lamae Bal hates him so much. He's not called the 'King of Rape' for nothing. |
| 921 | * RedBaron: 'Prince of Domination,' 'God of Schemes,' 'King of Rape'... |
| 922 | * ReligionOfEvil: While he is worshipped by quite a few Daedric cults, the most prominent during the game is the Worm Cult. |
| 923 | * SatanicArchetype: Complete with horns and a tail. |
| 924 | * WorthyOpponent: [[spoiler:After completing the main quest, he grudgingly admits that you are this in the Colored Rooms.]] |
| 925 | * XanatosGambit: [[spoiler:Meridia implies that him being defeated actually might have worked out in his favor, in some ways... and that [[WeWillMeetAgain he's not done with you yet]].]] |
| 926 | * YourSoulIsMine: And you're going to go ToHellAndBack to retrieve it from him. Literally, in this case. |
| 927 | * YouHaveFailedMe: When Doshia fails to kill you. [[spoiler:As well as Aelif.]] |
| 928 | [[/folder]] |
| 929 | |
| 930 | [[folder:Nocturnal]] |
| 931 | |
| 932 | The Daedric Prince of Night and Darkness. |
| 933 | ---- |
| 934 | * BigBad: [[spoiler:She serves as the main antagonist of the Clockwork City DLC and the Summerset expansion.]] |
| 935 | * BigNO: [[spoiler:She lets loose one of these right before the Vestige thwarts her plans with the Dawnbreaker.]] |
| 936 | * NavelDeepNeckline: She is wearing the same outfit with a navel deep neckline that she did in ''Skyrim''. |
| 937 | * NothingPersonal: Does not hold a grudge against you if you thwarted any of her plans during the Daedric War Arc by the time of Blackwood, and willingly accepts the help of the Vestige during a side quest. |
| 938 | * PowerOfTheVoid: Claims to have powers other the void since she existed before Oblivion did. |
| 939 | * TheStarscream: [[spoiler:At the climax of ''Summerset's'' main quest, she backstabs Clavicus Vile and Mephala in order to take the Crystal Tower's power all for herself.]] |
| 940 | * TookALevelInJerkass: In previous games, she was generally one of the less malevolent Daedra and a case of DarkIsNotEvil by their standards; here, she is an OmnicidalManiac. Considering the fact that ESO is a prequel to the entire rest of the series, this trope does not apply in-universe and instead means that she TookALevelInKindness by the era of the numbered games. |
| 941 | [[/folder]] |
| 942 | |
| 943 | [[folder:Sheogorath]] |
| 944 | |
| 945 | The [[Characters/TheElderScrolls Daedric Prince]] of Madness, Insanity, and the Arts. He plays a central role in the Mages' Guild questline, and shows up in a few other quests as well. |
| 946 | ---- |
| 947 | * AffablyEvil: He genuinely seems to like the player character. In his own way, of course. |
| 948 | * AllPowerfulBystander: He indicates several times that he's fully aware of what Molag Bal is doing, but doesn't seem to care enough to do anything about it. |
| 949 | * ArcVillain: Of the Mages' Guild questline. |
| 950 | * CloudCuckoolander: Did you honestly expect anything else from him? |
| 951 | * TheCorrupter: Drove the citizens of Southpoint completely insane, and corrupted its Mayor into being his [[TheDragon Dragon]] [[ItAmusedMe for his own amusement.]] |
| 952 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: PlayedForLaughs. The way he reacts to Gutsripper dying is one of the most humorous {{Villainous Breakdown}}s in the entire series. |
| 953 | -->'''Sheogorath:''' Puppy-killer! Come to steal me books? [[{{Metaphorgotten}} Who? Where? What? When? Sometimes why?]] |
| 954 | * FauxAffablyEvil: His friendliness is much more mocking and backhanded towards Shalidor. [[spoiler:Especially when it comes to Valaste.]] |
| 955 | * {{Flanderization}}: Due to a few memorable lines spoken in the ''Shivering Isles'' DLC of ''Oblivion'', Sheogorath had since become associated with cheese, but only on a mild level. ''Online'' practically made this into everything he says and does, since almost anything associated with him has to involve cheese in some way, and all of his lines reference them to an obsessive level. |
| 956 | * FriendlyEnemy: Towards the player character. He even refers to them as his "favorite mortal", and says that the trials were 'the most fun he's had in years.' |
| 957 | * ItsPersonal: He and Shalidor really have it out for one another. |
| 958 | * MadGod: Par for the course for him. |
| 959 | * NonActionBigBad: True to his previous depictions, such as ''Shivering Isles'' where physically attacking him is demonstrated to be both futile and suicidal. Instead, Haskill rather humorously serves as the FinalBoss for the Mage's Guild quest. |
| 960 | * TookALevelInJerkass: Unlike his previous incarnations, who's fun-loving but never really malicious, Sheogorath in ''Online'' seems to really get a kick out of making life miserable for mortals for his own amusement. Whereas the most he did in prior titles was [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion causing a rat infestation and a]] [[ItMakesSenseInContext rain of flaming dogs]], ''Online'' has him driving several peaceful settlements to ruin and many innocent people insane (or dead) just because he's bored. |

| 962 | |
| 963 | [[folder:Vaermina]] |
| 964 | |
| 965 | The [[Characters/TheElderScrolls Daedric Prince]] of Fear and Nightmares. She serves as the ArcVillain of the Stormhaven Questline in the Daggerfall Covenant, in which she and her cult, the Supernal Dreamers, drag High King Emeric and several others into an endless nightmare, for seemingly no reason other than [[ForTheEvulz because she can]]. |
| 966 | ---- |
| 967 | * ArcVillain: Of the Stormhaven Questline in the Daggerfall Covenant. |
| 968 | * BestServedCold: [[spoiler:If you've previously completed the Stormhaven arc in the base game, then during the final battle of "Necrom", she makes it clear that she remembers you and is ''very'' eager for another chance to avenge her consort.]] |
| 969 | * BigBadDuumvirate: She and Peyrite serve as the main antagonists of the "Shadow Over Morrowind" arc. |
| 970 | * CoolMask: She is depicted as wearing one of these, and it's even one of her main symbols, along with [[ReptilesAreAbhorrent a snake]]. |
| 971 | * CuteIsEvil: She sounds like a little girl, which [[VocalDissonance contrasts perfectly]] with how she gleefully describes how she's going to MindRape High King Emeric... and [[spoiler:you, after you kill her Champion.]] |
| 972 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She is stated to actually be [[UnholyMatrimony in love with her Champion]]. [[spoiler:Her [[IllKillYou reaction]] to his death would seem to confirm this.]] |
| 973 | * EvilPlan: Her primary goal in Stormhaven is to spread chaos and anarchy throughout the Covenant, and she has various methods to do this: |
| 974 | ** First, she attempts to drive a wedge between the Bretons and the Redguards by [[spoiler:manipulating a Breton knight into murdering King Faharijad's daughter]]. |
| 975 | ** Next, she has one of her Omens infiltrate the Midnight Union crime syndicate and corrupt it from within, using them to steal a powerful artifact from her hated rivals, the Spirit Wardens. |
| 976 | ** Next, she attempts to [[spoiler:take advantage of an Orc general's lingering resentment over the Bretons' prejudice against the Orcs to incite a civil war.]] |
| 977 | ** Finally, when all her previous plots are foiled, she goes all in and [[spoiler:tries to have her champion/consort assassinate High King Emeric and take his place, allowing him to drive the Covenant into the ground.]] |
| 978 | * ForTheEvulz: The only motivation she needs to throw the Covenant into chaos. |
| 979 | * MindRape: Basically her favorite pastime. |
| 980 | * NightmareFetishist: Literally. She dragged her Champion into Quagmire to be with her, knowing full well [[MindRape what that can do to someone]] and seemingly not caring, or maybe even sees that in and of itself as a show of affection. |
| 981 | * ReptilesAreAbhorrent: Her emblem, as well as her statue, features a snake, wrapped around her CoolMask in her banner, and draped across her shoulders on her statue. |
| 982 | * TranquilFury: After [[spoiler:you kill her Champion]], she goes into a VillainousBreakdown in which, still in her [[CuteIsEvil usual tone of voice]], she describes how she's going to spend the next century or so [[MindRape Mind Raping]] you for doing so. |
| 983 | * VillainousBreakdown: She's not happy at all about [[spoiler:you killing her Champion]], and makes that [[TranquilFury absolutely clear]]. |
| 984 | -->'''Vaermina:''' [[spoiler:You have slain my consort as well.]] I'll get over my loss, [[IllKillYou but I think I'll keep you here for a while in his stead]]. Perhaps [[AndIMustScream a century or two]] will teach you humility. [...] Even if you escape [[EldritchLocation Quagmire]], mortal, you will not escape my vengeance. I can be patient, very patient. Goodbye... for now. |
| 985 | * {{Yandere}}: If her reaction to [[spoiler:her Champion's death]], as well as the fact that she dragged him into Quagmire with zero regard for his sanity, is anything to go by. Maybe having a Daedric Prince for a girlfriend isn't a good idea? |

| 988 | [[folder:Lyranth]] |
| 989 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/por_lyranth.png]] |
| 990 | |
| 991 | A Dremora of the Foolkillers Clan in service to Molag Bal, Lyranth nonetheless is willing to work with mortals to achieve her goals. Thus, she becomes an odd ally in Coldharbour. Lyranth shows up years later during the Gates of Oblivion storyline. |
| 992 | ---- |
| 993 | * ButNowIMustGo: She bids the player farewell after the completion of the ''Blackwood'' arc, as your and her goals are no longer aligned by then, though her wording implies that your paths may cross again in the future, it's just that you won't be seeing more of her ''right now''. |
| 994 | * DeadpanSnarker: Her dialogue is practically dripping with dry humour and sarcasm, even when she's trying to implore you to help her. |
| 995 | * EarlyBirdCameo: For Pact players in base game, they would encounter Lyranth in Shadowfen before meeting her in Coldharbour like the other two alliances. |
| 996 | * EveryoneHatesMimes: In her houseguest dialogue, Lyranth talks about her encounter with a mime. She approves: |
| 997 | ->'''Lyranth:''' "I ventured into a mortal city recently and encountered—oh, what were they called again?—ah, mimes, that was it. I encountered mimes for the first time. They are absolutely horrifying. Well done." |
| 998 | * NobleDemon: Lyranth is unapologetically a Dremora, and would happily rip out your heart in different circumstances. But she will uphold her end of any bargain she makes. |
| 999 | * SoleSurvivor: Prior to the game, Lyranth's clan was wiped out in a power struggle. She was forced to take an oath to not raise a hand against those responsible. [[LoopholeAbuse Nothing is said about]] her employing ''your'' help to do the deed, though. |
| 1000 | * WildCard: Lyranth makes no secret that she is willing to side against the Vestige if her goals require them to. There are plenty of times she will aid them but she is still a Dremora and thus holds no allegiance to them or any other mortal. |
| 1001 | [[/folder]] |

| 1003 | [[folder:Arox the Mutilator]] |
| 1004 | Once a mighty Ash Titan and favored minion of Mehrunes Dagon, Arox was betrayed by a subordinate and cursed into the form of a lowly Daedrat. Despite his new, diminiutive form, he remains proud and determined to claw his way back to the top. |
| 1005 | ---- |
| 1006 | * CassandraTruth: No one believes his claims that he is the legendary Arox, least of all Rynkyus. [[spoiler:This changes when he temporarily assumes his true form]]. |
| 1007 | * ForcedTransformation: Once one of the strongest Ash Titans in the Deadlands, now a near-powerless Daedrat. |
| 1008 | * HeroicSacrifice: Non fatal variant. [[spoiler:At the climax of ''Deadlands'', he willingly gives up the chance to permanently remove his curse in order to help you reach Nokvroz.]] |
| 1009 | * ItsPersonal: [[spoiler:Once he realizes Valkynaz Nokvroz was the one who betrayed and cursed him, he is ''furious'' and vows revenge.]] |
| 1010 | * UndyingLoyalty: Towards you, the player, for rescuing him from a Watcher holding him captive. |

| 1014 | |
| 1015 | [[folder:The Prophet]] |
| 1016 | -->'''Voiced By:''' Michael Gambon |
| 1017 | |
| 1018 | A mysterious enemy of Molag Bal and Mannimarco kept as prisoner in Coldharbour. He helps the [[PlayerCharacter Soulless One]] to escape and is in turn rescued by him. |
| 1019 | ---- |
| 1020 | * AmnesiacHero: He was found by Moth Priests with no memory of his past life. [[spoiler: Played With in that he ''was'' amnesiac but by the time you meet him, he has recovered his memories and simply hides it out of shame.]] |
| 1021 | * BigGood: None of the three big factions really want Molag Bal to win, but their main focus is one each other. The sole goal of the Prophet is stopping the Daedric Prince and saving Tamriel. |
| 1022 | * BlindSeer: The result of him reading the Elder Scrolls. |
| 1023 | * CuttingOffTheBranches: Downplayed. [[spoiler:As Sai Sahan and Lyris are canonically alive in ''Elsewyr'' and ''Greymoor'', respectively, and ''Orsinium'' reveals that he is now in the realm of Aetherius regardless of what happened to him, it is all but stated that he is canonically the one who sacrifices himself to power the Amulet of Kings. That said, if either Sai Sahan or Lyris ''was'' chosen as the sacrifice in the vanilla main quest, they’re given updated dialogue admitting even they’re confused.]] |
| 1024 | * HandicappedBadass: He may be blind, but he certainly doesn't need vision for anything. His senses are extremely impressive, he always knows when you're there, and where you are at all times. |
| 1025 | * IWasQuiteALooker: Flashbacks to before he prematurely aged show he was a handsome, dark-haired man. |
| 1026 | * MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:When he was over-confident enough to think trusting Mannimarco was a good idea.]] |
| 1027 | * TheReveal: He's none other than [[spoiler:Varen Aquilarios, former leader of the Five Companions and Emperor of Cyrodiil.]] |
| 1028 | * RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:As atonement for the damage his past hubris has caused to Tamriel, he willingly volunteers to be the sacrifice needed to empower the Vestige for their showdown against Molag Bal, knowing full well that it would result in his demise. The later expansions have effectively made this the canonical outcome of the main questline.]] |
| 1029 | * YoungerThanTheyLook: Looks 70 when he's at most in his 40s. |

| 1034 | -->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/JohnCleese |
| 1035 | |
| 1036 | An old and surprisingly sane soul shriven of Coldharbour who will guide you on a certain quest throughout Coldharbour. He later appears in Elsweyr, where he learns about his past. |
| 1037 | ---- |
| 1038 | * AmnesiacDissonance: [[spoiler:''Elsweyr'' reveals that he was ''not'' a good person in life, something he takes great shame in once he remembers.]] |
| 1039 | * BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Twice over! The first time is decidingly unwilling, as [[DragonAscendant Zumog Phoom]] ends up using his lifeforce to resurrect his living body, Cadwell the Betrayer. After Phoom and Cadwell the Betrayer are defeated, Sir Cadwell returns, claiming that all he needed was "a quick dip" in the pools of Coldharbour.]] |
| 1040 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: Various Daedra learned this the hard way. |
| 1041 | * BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:He becomes one of the closest allies to you once you go to Coldharbour, he assists you on nearly every single main quest. He definitely isn't joking when he calls himself a Knight.]] |
| 1042 | * CloudCuckoolander: Most notable trait about him, he even has a pot on his head. Ironically, he's the only soul shriven in Coldharbour that's considered sane. |
| 1043 | * IHatePastMe: In ''Elsweyr'' , [[spoiler:when he learns/remembers just how terrible he was when he was alive.]] |
| 1044 | * InsanityImmunity: The reason he's still lucid (for a given value of such) despite being soul shriven - he was ''already'' mad prior to being taken to Coldharbour. In fact, he openly admits to liking the place. |
| 1045 | * PostEndGameContent: After the main quest is completed, he is put in charge [[spoiler:by Meridia]] of allowing the Vestige to safely travel to their rival Alliances and experience their content. |

| 1048 | [[folder:King Laloriaran Dynar]] |
| 1049 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/king_laloriaran_dynar_eso.png]] |
| 1050 | |
| 1051 | The last king of the Ayleids, who was thought to have perished in the invasion of Delodiil by Molag Bal's forces. It turns out, he was Meridia's champion and master tactician, and was present when Meridia took Delodill, later referred to as the Hollow City, into Coldharbour. Despite her placing the city into Coldharbour in a manner which Molag Bal could not enter, King Dynar was still captured and held in the Lightless Oubliette, where he remained in waiting for the Vestige for approximately 3000 years. He is one of the primary questgivers in Coldharbour. |
| 1052 | ---- |
| 1053 | * AlasPoorVillain: Invoked by him in regards to the fate of his species. [[spoiler:Despite the fact that he admits that his people were as monstrous as history says they are, he also mourns them and dialogue reveals he can't imagine a darker day than the end of the Ayleids.]] |
| 1054 | * AndIMustScream: After the city of Delodiil was transported to Coldharbour, Dynar was one of those captured by Molag Bal's forces. He was imprisoned in the Lightless Oubliette and tortured endlessly for millennia, until his rescue at the Vestige's hands. |
| 1055 | * BadassInDistress: He's trapped in the Lightless Oubliette. You first quest in Coldharbour is to rescue him. |
| 1056 | * BigGood: Of the Coldharbour arc. He's the reason Hollow City is a safe haven for those trying to fight Molag Bal. |
| 1057 | * CallBack: Dynar is the ruler of Nenalata, one of the many Ayleid ruins explorable in ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion]]''. Additionally, his crown serves as the centerpiece to one of the more interesting sidequests in that game, though his name had been lost to time by then, being known simply as "the last king of the Ayleids". |
| 1058 | * CoolOldGuy: He's positively ancient, even if one discounts the fact he probably hasn't much due to being in Coldharbour. He's also wise, friendly and a great fighter. |
| 1059 | * EarlyBirdCameo: He shows up in a quest in Glenumbra Moors, ages before you actually meet him. |
| 1060 | * GoOutWithASmile: As a result of his HeroicSacrifice, Dynar passes on with relief, knowing that he had helped redeem the legacy of his people by defying Molag Bal's will by taking part in the saving of all of Nirn. |
| 1061 | * HeroicSacrifice: At the climax of The Final Assault, he, along with Darien Gautier, chooses not to enter Meridia's teleportation aura in order to try and close Molag Bal's portals and buy everybody more time to escape. As a result, he takes the full brunt of Bal's destructive magic and is grievously wounded. Although he was recovered by Meridia's forces, he quickly succumbs to his injuries after having a brief chat with the Vestige. |
| 1062 | * ImpoverishedPatrician: The Alessian Order's Ayleid genocides left him without much of a kingdom to rule, something his Direnni allies mocked him for. |
| 1063 | * LastOfHisKind: He's not only the last Ayleid King, he's the last known Ayleid in existence. |
| 1064 | * MeaningfulName: His name means "Ruler in Dark Times" in Ayleidoon, appropriate for his role as basically the final leader during the dying days of his people. |
| 1065 | * OneManArmy: It was said that, during the final moments of Delodiil's presence on Nirn, Dynar held off an enemy onslaught by himself in his defense of the city gates. It wasn't until the city was spirited into Coldharbour that Molag Bal's forces managed to subdue him in the ensuing disarray. |
| 1066 | * RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Upon finding out that the Fighter's Guildhall in the Hollow City doesn't have a leader, he takes it upon himself to assume the position. |
| 1067 | * TokenHeroicOrc: The Ayleids were a monstrously brutal race of elves, at least according to human historical sources, but Dynar himself is actually not a bad guy. [[spoiler:Further dialogue reveals that he turned against his fellow Ayleids because he believed in the younger race's cause. Also, unlike the reveal of the Falmer in Skyrim, he admits that the Ayleids were just as monstrous as history states them.]] |

| 1072 | A young wood elf who has left the Valenwood in search of adventure. She is first met in Orisinium, and later in the Deadlands. Gets two meet the character articles, [[https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Meet_the_Character_-_Eveli_Sharp-Arrow_(Orsinium) here]] and [[https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Meet_the_Character_-_Eveli_Sharp-Arrow_(Flames_of_Ambition) here]]. |
| 1073 | ---- |
| 1074 | * ActionGirl: A wood elf girl, fresh from the Valenwood, with archery skills that put most in-game archers to shame that she regularly uses to kick ass and take names. |
| 1075 | * BadassAdorable: Called adorable repeatedly in-universe and is capable of taking out dozens of foes on-screen and off without breaking a sweat. Yes, you'll sometimes walk in on her offing bandits trying to rush her while telling you to wait a second while she finishes with them. |
| 1076 | * BookWorm: Oddly for a Bosmer (who usually hate paper because it's made of trees), she loves books, especially the ''Investigator Vale'' series of mystery fiction. When you enter a library with her, she gets excited and asks if you think they have any ''Investigator Vale'' books and is horrified when the library starts to burn with all the books in it, as so much knowledge and so many good stories are lost. |
| 1077 | * BreakTheCutie: The events of ''Orsinium'' are ''not'' kind to her. |
| 1078 | * GoodNewsBadNews: Really good news, bad news, irrelevant news. When you're seeking to break into a fort for Barzag, Eveli, who arrived first says she has good news, disappointing news, and downright awful news. The good news is that Barzag's instructions were easy to follow. The disappointing news is that she doesn't see a way in, and even if there were, there's no way they could get in without being attacked. The downright awful news? |
| 1079 | -->"I lost a bet with Talviah and now I owe him a traditional Valenwood dinner. You know, the kind Wood Elves like to eat. I can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes [[IAteWhat what kind of meat he's eating.]] It'll be priceless!" |
| 1080 | * MassiveNumberedSiblings: The youngest of twelve, and says that this is normal for wood elves living deep in the Valenwood. |
| 1081 | * MasterArcher: She is one if you believe her when she says she always hits what she's aiming at. Except [[NoodleIncident that one time]]. She did tell Bomfor not to move! Also, in her first character spotlight, the eye of the queen traveling with her says that she drove off a bunch of Red Rook Bandits almost as quickly as they ambushed the convoy they were riding in, with each arrow she fired hitting its mark without fail. |
| 1082 | * NoodleIncident: Once accidentally shot another wood elf named Bomfor. She says that it's the one time that she hit something she wasn't aiming at, but it doesn't count because he moved. |
| 1083 | -->No worries. I never hit anything I'm not aiming at. Well, except for that one time. But that totally doesn't count. I told Bomfor not to move! |
| 1084 | * SkilledButNaive: An incredibly skilled fighter, especially with a bow, as noted by no less than one of the eyes of the queen in her first of two character spotlights. However, said eye notes that has no idea how the world outside of the Valenwood works. |

| 1090 | |
| 1091 | A mysterious group that originated in the Breton homeland of High Rock, but has now grown to include all races of Tamriel. Led by the mysterious Ascendant Lord, they seek to dismantle the Three Alliances in order to create a "crownless world" where all are free and equal. |
| 1092 | ---- |
| 1093 | * BigBad: The Ascendant Lord is the main antagonist of the "Legacy of the Bretons" arc. |
| 1094 | * ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Compared to the previous {{Arc Villain}}s, which have included Daedric Princes, Dragons and Vampire Lords, the Order is surprisingly mundane by comparison. [[spoiler:Or so it seems as the leader turned out to be a descendant of the last Druid King and knows about spirits.]] |
| 1095 | * EvilCounterpart: To the Society of the Steadfast. Both groups seek to end the Alliance War, but while the Society favors diplomacy and negotiation, the Order utilizes violence and terrorism to achieve their goals. [[spoiler:And then it turns out that they were both founded by the same person, with the Society's real purpose being to act as Bacaro's cover while he leads the Order]]. |
| 1096 | * FallenHero: [[spoiler:Its implied that Lord Bacaro ''was'' a genuinely noble and philanthropic man once, and that his formation of the Society of the Steadfast ''was'' genuine, but his growing resentment over how the Alliances continue their war year after year, the rapidly fading power of his house, and discovering his lineage to the Druid King, corrupted him into becoming the Ascendant Lord.]] |
| 1097 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: Throughout High Isle's main quest, there are numerous hints regarding [[spoiler:Damard Dufort being [[TheDragon the Ascendant Magus]]]]: |
| 1098 | ** [[spoiler:Of the three main nobles suspected of colluding with the Order, only Damard is shown to be a mage.]] |
| 1099 | ** [[spoiler:During the party at Castle Nevire, Damard expresses frustration as to how High Isle's government is being dragged into the three Alliances' politics, which lines up with the Order's professed goals.]] |
| 1100 | ** [[spoiler:The Dufort Shipyard, which is stated to be under Damard's jurisdiction, turs out to be an Order hideout.]] |
| 1101 | ** [[spoiler:Damard Dufort speaks at the party to you of his interest in druidic magic. Other quests reveal the Ascendant Magus has been utilizing said magic to tap into the volcanic activity of the Systres (with mixed results)]] |
| 1102 | ** At the climax of ''High Isle's'' main quest, [[spoiler:Lord Bacaro is oddly insistent that you hold off on rushing to All Flags Islet to stop the Ascendant Order and wait until he's mustered reinforcements. And after the Ascendant Magus is defeated, he is briefly, but still noticeably surprised to see you still alive. The ''Legacy of the Bretons'' epilogue reveals that this is because Bacaro is the Ascendant Lord, and he just realized that his plan to have the Alliance leaders killed has failed and he's just lost one of his top enforcers.]] |
| 1103 | ** In ''Firesong'', [[spoiler:during the Dreadsails' attack on Vastyr, Bacaro insists that you bring any survivors you find to the cathedral. Once Sealord Nalos is defeated, the cathedral collapses with Bacaro as the sole survivor...]] |
| 1104 | * JoinOrDie: Early in ''High Isle'', the Ascendant Magus crashes a party at Castle Nevire to tell the attendants to either swear fealty to the Order or be "wash away with the tide". |
| 1105 | * MadeOfIron: In the ''High Isle'' launch trailer, the Ascendant Lord is zapped with magic and impaled with his own sword before having an entire stone column dropped on him...and it ''still'' isn't enough to kill him! |
| 1106 | * OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:In the final battle, the Ascendant Lord fuses with Mount Firesong's Guardian Spirit to become a titanic knight of flame and lava.]] |
| 1107 | * SlouchOfVillainy: The Ascendant Lord gives an impressive one at the end of the ''High Isle'' announcement trailer. |
| 1108 | * TinTyrant: The Ascendant Lord is covered from head to toe in [[https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/61847 fully concealing armour.]] |
| 1109 | * VisionaryVillain: They present themselves as heroes of the downtrodden, seeking to "liberate" them from what they claim is an oppressive system. |
| 1110 | * WeAreEverywhere: Part of what makes them such a threat is that they have agents in all facets of society, each one slavishly devoted to the Order's cause. |
| 1111 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: While its heavily implied that the Ascendant Lord and his inner circle have ulterior motives, many of their rank and file are shown to genuinely believe that their crimes are for the sake of creating a better Tamriel for the commonfolk. |
| 1112 | ** NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:Sure enough, the ''Legacy of the Bretons'' epilogue reveals that the Ascendant Lord doesn't actually give a damn about peace and just wants to rule Tamriel himself as its new "Druid King".]] |
| 1113 | * YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler:In his journal, the Ascendant Lord admits that even if the Ascendant Magus had succeeded in killing the Alliance leaders and the Vestige at All Flages Islet during the ''High Isle'' finale, he would have had the Magus killed anyway due to having failed to kill the leaders in the shipwreck at the start of the story as was the original plan.]] |

| 1115 | !!The Trailer Specific Characters |
| 1116 | |
| 1117 | [[folder:General Tropes]] |
| 1118 | * AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: Every champion can kick massive amounts of asses and as the result became leader of their faction. |
| 1119 | * CanonForeigner: They are only featured in the trailer produced by Studio Blur and not a single line is mentioned about them in-game. However, Zenimax then released the costumes worn by the champions in the game. |
| 1120 | * EnemyMine: The cinematic trailer for ''High Isle'' has all three of them working together for the first time to take on the Ascendant Order. |
| 1121 | * FighterMageThief: The Nord, Altmer, and Breton leaders respectively each exemplify one of the archetypes. |
| 1122 | * HeroesPreferSwords: Every champion wields a sword. |
| 1123 | * MeleeATrois: Three factions attack the fort and come to blows with one another, before the Dremora show up. |
| 1124 | * NoNameGiven: We're never given their names (except the Warden) because all of them are meant to be, for lack of a better word, ''[[AudienceSurrogate you]]''. The only reason there are primarily three of them is to give the players equal representation no matter which of the Alliances they are part of. |
| 1125 | * RedshirtArmy: Every character other than the respective faction's champion are easily taken down and, soon, forgotten. Possibly extended to the mage corps and possibly some chunks of the Ebonheart forces who attack Imperial City during the third trailer, since otherwise [[spoiler:the Altmer Swordknight wouldn't be able to stroll around the walls of the Imperial City.]] |
| 1126 | * TheChampion: The raid squad leaders are the Champions of their respective groups. |
| 1127 | * TheQuietOne: They are there (an unidentified fort and Imperial City) to fight, not talk. |
| 1128 | [[/folder]] |
| 1129 | |
| 1130 | [[folder:Nord]] |
| 1131 | [[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/por_nord_barbarian.png]] |
| 1132 | ---- |
| 1133 | * ADayInTheLimeLight: Takes center stage in the trailers for ''Greymoor'' and the Dark Heart of Skyrim storyline, fighting alongside Lyris. |
| 1134 | * BarbarianLonghair: He goes into battle with hair that reaches his waist. |
| 1135 | * BraidsOfBarbarism: Styles his hair in braids and happens to be a Nord. |
| 1136 | * AndIMustScream: [[spoiler:He was (for a time) defeated, captured, and imprisoned by Mannimarco and Molag Bal in Coldharbour. He shows up later in the Greymoor trailer leading a force investigating the aftermath of a vampire attack.]] |
| 1137 | * HornyVikings: His helmet is adorned with unique horns. |
| 1138 | * KickTheDog: [[spoiler:He uses the ribbon which the Breton Ranger held as a rag.]] |
| 1139 | * LargeAndInCharge: He is the biggest Tamrielic character in all trailers. Notably subverted in the ''Greymoor'' trailers where he's fighting alongside Lyris Titanborn, who towers over him. |
| 1140 | * MightyGlacier: Strong, can soak up a lot of damage, and can return the favor, but is the least agile out of three champions. |
| 1141 | * OldSoldier: Has a long white beard but is easily a match for warriors half his age. |
| 1142 | * TribalFacePaint: On his face, underneath his helmet. |
| 1143 | [[/folder]] |
| 1144 | |
| 1145 | [[folder:Altmer Swordknight]] |
| 1146 | [[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/por_altmer_spellsword.png]] |
| 1147 | ---- |
| 1148 | * ADayInTheLimeLight: Takes center stage in the cinematic trailers for ''Summerset'', alongside Razum-dar. Notably, she's the only one of the three heroes with spoken dialogue. |
| 1149 | * ActionGirl: She's deadly with either a sword or magic. |
| 1150 | * BadassInDistress: [[spoiler:Captured at the end of the second trailer, [[DamselOutOfDistress but manages to get out of being a magic battery in the third trailer.]]]] |
| 1151 | * TheBusCameBack: Returns for the cinematic trailer for ''Summerset''. |
| 1152 | * RedheadedHero: She's red-headed and leader of the Aldmeri Dominion raid group. |
| 1153 | * MagicKnight: Can kick ass with sword as well as magic. |
| 1154 | * MercyKill: [[spoiler:She kills/purifies the undead Breton in the last trailer.]] |
| 1155 | * NeverTrustATrailer: The Altmer hero's model was created specifically for promotional materials and does not match the aesthetics of her in-game race, with very human-looking facial features and eyes that are simply not available to High elves in the character creation. Most notably, there is simply no way to create an Altmer with eyes that have prominent sclera like hers, and even the lightest available skin tone for this race still has a noticeably brownish-gold hue, unlike her rosy human-like complexion. |
| 1156 | ** She's also incredibly short for an Altmer, with the Nord towering over her in the ''High Isle'' launch trailer. |
| 1157 | * PetTheDog: [[spoiler:She mercy kills the Breton and seems to show sympathy despite him being an enemy soldier.]] |
| 1158 | * SmurfettePrinciple: The only (clearly identified and significant) female in the trailers. |
| 1159 | [[/folder]] |
| 1160 | |
| 1161 | [[folder:Breton Ranger]] |
| 1162 | [[quoteright:310:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/por_breton_assassin.png]] |
| 1163 | ---- |
| 1164 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Shows up in the ''Elsweyr'' trailers, alongside Khamira, Abnur Tharn, and Sai Sahan. Though where as the Swordknight and the Nord played equal parts to Razum-Dar and Lyris, respectively, the Ranger serves more as a supporting role to Khamira, the real star of the trailers, mainly serving to show off some of the new necromancer class abilities. |
| 1165 | * AndThenJohnWasAZombie: [[spoiler:In the mid-second trailer and onward.]] |
| 1166 | * BackFromTheDead: In addition to being turned undead to begin with, the ''Elsweyr'' trailers [[spoiler:show him alive again and helping to deal with the dragons ravaging the country.]] |
| 1167 | * BowAndSwordInAccord: As befitting of the Ranger class, he wields a bow. |
| 1168 | * DyingAsYourself: [[spoiler:His eyes and skin return to their natural tone in his final moments and he doesn't resist the Altmer.]] |
| 1169 | * ForgotAboutHisPowers: The Elsweyr trailers portray him as a necromancer. Come High Isle, he's back to fighting like a common rogue again, displaying none of the magical abilities he used against dragons in the previous trailer. |
| 1170 | * IDieFree: [[spoiler:The Altmer Swordknight kills/purifies the undead Breton in the fourth trailer.]] |
| 1171 | * TheLadysFavour: [[spoiler:Breton Ranger held a ribbon which came from a woman, maybe his lover]]. |
| 1172 | * McNinja: Cowl and masker? Check. Throwing Knives? Check. Extremely agile? Big check. |
| 1173 | [[/folder]] |
| 1174 | |
| 1175 | [[folder:Boldekh]] |
| 1176 | [[quoteright:297:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/boldekh.png]] |

| 1178 | |
| 1179 | * AllThereInTheManual: His given name, Boldekh is revealed in [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Naryu%27s_Journal/Vvardenfell,_Before Naryu's Journal]]. |
| 1180 | * AnIcePerson: Uses ice magic to attack and shield with during the trailer. |
| 1181 | * LoyalAnimalCompanion: His bear companion, overlaps with ActionPet. |
