[[folder: Main Party]]

!!Pharaun Mizzrym
->'''Race:''' [[OurElvesAreDifferent Drow]]
->'''Class:''' Wizard
->'''Alignment:''' NeutralEvil

%%* TheAlcoholic
%%* AttentionWhore
* BadassBookworm: He's a highly talented mage and is quite intelligent besides.
* BlueBlood: Like many Drow, he's from one of the great Houses in Menzoberanzan, specifically the fifth house, House Mizzrym.
* BoundAndGagged: When he and Ryld were captured by the alhoon's cult. Completely justified, since he's a wizard.
%%* TheCasanova
%%* TheCharmer
%%* CulturedBadass
%%* TheDandy
* DevouredByTheHorde: [[spoiler:Ultimately devoured by a horde of yugoloths, all Aliisza can find afterwards is a single finger.]]
* DistractedByTheSexy: When he first met Danifae, he couldn't stop staring.
* FatalFlaw: His pride and overconfidence are partially what get him killed, particularly when threatening Jeggred and warning him that he'd have contingency spells prepared.
%%* HandSignals
%%* LovableRogue
* LinearWarriorsQuadraticWizards: While the group's melee fighters are [[BadAssNormal quite skilled]], it's proven time and again that Pharaun is easily the most powerful member of the party. And he lets everyone know it.
%%* AManIsAlwaysEager
* NoHonorAmongThieves: Completely left Ryld for dead in ''Dissolution'', but felt a mote of guilt about, albeit briefly. It came back to bite him.
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: While he was forced into looking for Lolth by Gromph and the Matrons of Menzoberranzan, Phaeraun was mostly in the hunt for the glory, since if he came back successful, it would put him in a better position to become Archmage, should Gromph ever die.
* PointyEars: He's an elf. He has pointy ears.
* RapeAsBackstory: He implies that he was sexually assaulted by his interrogators when he was arrested for heresy, but he's not particularly angsty about it.
-->The priestesses had drugged me to prevent my resisting their attentions, then used me with considerable brutality.
* RedOniBlueOni: He's the carefree and snarky red to Ryld's stoic and practical blue.
%%* RedEyesTakeWarning
* RingOfPower: Carries two on him at all times,one that detects magic and another that holds his animated [[RoyalRapier rapier]].
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The manly man to Ryld's sensitive guy. While their physical qualities might suggest otherwise - Pharaun is small, slender and foppish, while Ryld is big, strong and gloomy and favors practicality and battle-readiness over elegance - Pharaun isn't capable of love, compassion or loyalty, all of which Ryld was shown to feel. [[spoiler: At least until he's briefly revived and shows that yes, he's capable of feeling such emotions, including guilt over betraying Ryld, as well as love for his son.]]
* ServileSnarker: Ultimately what got him killed.
%%* SharpDressedMan
* SpellBook: Has a handy haversack full of them.
* TheSmartGuy: He's a highly intelligent wizard.
* SwordAndSorcerer: He's a SquishyWizard, which pairs well with the powerful Fighter Ryld.
%%* TallDarkAndSnarky
* VillainousFriendship: Starts the book off with an amiable acquaintance with Ryld, although their relationship sours later, as Phaurun has no problem betraying the others to suit his own interest.
* YouHaveOutLivedYourUsefulness: Ends up on the receiving end of this speech.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Like most Drow he has white hair and also like most Drow, Phaurun is willing to betray his own companions to get ahead if he thinks he can get away with it.
* WreckedWeapon: Belshazu disintegrated his favorite enchanted rapier. [[BerserkButton He didn't take it well.]]

!!Ryld Argith

->'''Race:''' Drow
->'''Class:''' Fighter
->'''Alignment:''' LawfulEvil

* AbsurdlySharpBlade: [[{{BFS}} Splitter.]] It's so sharp, [[BeyondTheImpossible it can cut through enchantments!]]
* AllergicToRoutine: The main reason he agreed to help Pharaun to begin with.
%%* TheBigGuy
* ConvertingForLove: Played with, but ultimately averted.
* EmergencyWeapon: His short sword is treated as such, as he rarely uses it unless something happens to [[ICallItVera Splitter]] or he doesn't have room to draw it.
* HandSignals
* InHarmsWay: Wanted more excitement in his life and got plenty.
* IWillOnlySlowYouDown: Attempted to use this in the Cold Fields when he and Halisstra were dying of hypothermia. [[NoOneGetsLeftBehind She didn't let it happen.]]
* MeditationPowerup: Gave him the ability to [[ImplacableMan concentrate on his targets]] and [[FeelNoPain ignore his wounds]] while retaining his sword skills.
* MasterSwordsman: He's a talented Fighter.
* OurElvesAreDifferent: He's extremely atypical for a Drow, showing love, compassion and loyalty throughout the series. He's also got a sense of fair play which ultimately contributes to his death.
* PointyEars: He's an elf. He has pointy ears.
%%* RedEyesTakeWarning
* RedOniBlueOni: He's the carefree and snarky red to Ryld's stoic and practical blue.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The sensitive guy to Phaurun's manly man. While their physical qualities might suggest otherwise - Pharaun is small, slender and foppish, while Ryld is big, strong and gloomy and favors practicality and battle-readiness over elegance - Pharaun isn't capable of love, compassion or loyalty, all of which Ryld was shown to feel. [[spoiler: At least until he's briefly revived and shows that yes, he's capable of feeling such emotions, including guilt over betraying Ryld, as well as love for his son.]]
* SmartPeoplePlayChess: Pharaun, whose livelihood depends on his brains, has never been able to beat him at Sava.
%%* TheStoic
* SwordAndSorcerer: He's a Fighter, which pairs well with Pharaun SquishyWizard.
* WeaponAcrossTheShoulder: Standard for Ryld when Splitter's out, but not being put to use.
* WreckedWeapon: Splitter got destroyed in his fight against Jeggred. It was a prelude to something a lot worse.

!!Quenthel Baenre

->'''Race:''' Drow
->'''Class:''' Cleric
->'''Alignment:''' NeutralEvil

%%* AlphaBitch
* BlueBlood: She's from House Baenre, the first ranked House in Menzoberanzan.
* BreakTheHaughty: When Faeryl turned on her and got her captured, she was stripped and tortured. Her normal personality faded quickly.
%%* DarkActionGirl
%%* DeadpanSnarker
* EmpathicWeapon: Her five-headed snake whip. Each head contains the intelligence of an imp, and they often give her [[TreacherousAdvisor advice]] throughout the series.
%%* HandSignals
%%* IceQueen
%%* LadyOfWar
* MistressAndServantBoy: With Jeggred, primarily, but tries to treat every male she comes across as this.
* MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: Typical for Drow, she is extremely powerful, brutal and sadistic, far more-so than the males in the party.
%%* OurElvesAreDifferent
* PointyEars: She's an elf. She has pointy ears.
%%* RedEyesTakeWarning
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: She's essentially a princess and sets out on a quest to find Lolth.
* WhipOfDominance: As expected from a priestess of Lolth, she is a domineering, haughty, and sadistic drow who wields the famed SnakeWhip that is a status symbol among the clergy. Hers is a bit more special, as it has the essence of five imps attached to each of the snake heads, making it an EmpathicWeapon that she can communicate with.

!!Jeggred Baenre

* AndShowItToYou: How he made sure Ryld was dead after ''axing him in the chest''.

%%* TheBrute
%%* CombatSadomasochist

* ImAHumanitarian: Has no qualms about eating sapient creatures, even eating multiple drow [[spoiler:including Ryld]].

* NaturalWeapon: Will usually claw someone to death with his bare hands, only using a weapon once in the series to kill Ryld.

* MultiArmedAndDangerous: He's got four arms and he is extremely deadly.
%%* RedEyesTakeWarning

%%* ActionGirl
%%* BodyguardBetrayal
* BlueBlood: She's from a noble house in Ched Nasad
* TheChosenOne: Was chosen by Elistraee to destroy Lolth, but didn't go through with it.
* ConflictingLoyalty: Between her love for Ryld and her worship of Elistraee, then between her worship of Elistraee or Lolth.
* DoomedHometown: Ched Nasad was destroyed during Lolth's Silence. It's destruction helped spark Halisstra's crisis of faith.
* EtTuBrute: Played straight enough to wonder if she really remembered she was a drow, when all is said and done.
* FaceHeelDoorSlam: [[spoiler: Eilistraee possesses Qilué's body to try to redeem Halisstra, only for Wedonai to trick Halisstra into thinking it was Lolth masquerading as Eilistraee. Halisstra murders Eilistraee in a fit of rage, thus fulfilling Lolth's plans]]
* FateWorseThanDeath: Was forced to become Lolth's handservant for losing her faith.

->'''Class:''' Cleric
->'''Alignment:''' ChaoticEvil

* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: In a way, [[spoiler:she becomes the reborn Lolth.]]
%% DepravedBisexual
* TheChosenOne: Handpicked by Lolth to be the final piece of her rebirth.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Being such a master manipulator is probably the reason that she became Lolth's chosen vessel.
%%* TheDogBitesBack
%%* HandSignals
%%* IJustWantToBeFree
* IHaveBoobsYouMustObey: Uses her looks to try and seduce anyone she crosses paths with, and it usually works.

->'''Race:''' Drow
->'''Class:''' Wizard/Archmage
->'''Alignment:''' Neutral Evil

* BadassBookworm: He's a powerul and intelligent Wizard.
* BigScrewedUpFamily: Pretty standard for the drow, though. His mother was a cruel tyrant, his sisters all hate him as much as he hates them, his daughter ran away [[DefectorFromDecadence to escape the city's oppression]]. The only family member he's even close to being ok with is Jarlaxle
* BlueBlood: He's the eldest son of House Baenre, the most influential House in Menzoberanzan.
* CrazyPrepared: Just in case he ever got caught by a mind flayer, he prepared a time stop potion and an amnesia potion. He then [[MemoryGambit programmed his own memory to forget what was in the bottles he put them in ''and'' made it so that he'd try to warn himself not to drink them]] [[KansasCityShuffle just to throw the mind flayer off about what was about to happen.]]

* NoOneShouldSurviveThat: Escaped the monumental explosion of a House, but only just barely.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Over 700, but looks young thanks to an Amulet of Eternal Youth.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Unlike most drow, his eyes were amber prior to being blinded and requiring a transplant.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething
%%* SharpDressedMan
* SiblingRivalry: He and Quenthel fight over Triel's ear on the throne. So much so that he tried to kill her several times.
* SpellBook: As a wizard, he's got several in his possession.
%%* TallDarkAndSnarky
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: As is normal for a Drow, he's got white hair. As is also normal for a Drow, he's a giant asshole.

%%* TheChessmaster
%%* DarkIsEvil
%%* DoubleReverseQuadrupleAgent
%%* TheFightingNarcissist

* HalfHumanHybrid: He's part Drow and [[spoiler:part shadow dragon.]]
* LieToTheBeholder: [[spoiler: His handsome drow appearance is just a spell-based disguise. His real form is more akin to the shadow dragons that make up half his heritage.]]
