The Fall of the Trident's Characters
Arkantos
Admiral of Atlantis and great warrior, he's the main character of the campaign, and fights to protect Atlantis from the evil ones. In the end he's turned into a god after Gargarensis's defeat and Atlantis' fall.
A famous greek hero of great power, he joined the war against Troy and later follow Arkantos in his quest. He also appears in the Titans campaign where he tries to stop Kastor from weakening the gods.
Big Damn Heroes: When the huge army of Gargarensis is about to route Arkantos' forces in the north, Odysseus arrives with a big ass army to save the day.
A centaur hero and wiseman, who's rescued by Arkantos. He's the first to point him to Gargarensis, and help the Atlantinean in his journey. He ends up sacrificing himself against some fire giants after sealing the Nordic Gate.
A warrior-priestess of Isis met by our heroes in Egypt, she's fighting against Kemsyt forces to recover Osiris' body and resurrect the god, and then she follows Arkantos in his quest to the North. In the Titan Expansion she's become Queen, and fights first against Kastor and then the Titans.
Two dwarves who owned a great furnace which was occupied by the giants. They eventually help Arkantos by reforging Thor's Hammer. They're also the main characters of their own Campaign.
Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: As dwarves they're quite weak and almost useless, but they prove useful when they forge back Thor's Hammer, which is used to shut down the Titan Gate.
Our Dwarves Are All the Same: Averted, they're mainly blacksmiths and miners, but quite useless in combat (unless you are fighting light mythic units). Oh, and they can be used as peasants.
The main villain of the campaign, he's a giant Cyclops hero who's blood-related to Poseidon. He's trying to open the Titan Gates in Erebus in order to free Kronos, hoping to receive immortality as a reward.
A God Am I: He has Poseidon's blood in his veins, and he wants to become a fully immortal god at any cost.
Ambition Is Evil: He's extremely ambitious and arrogant to boot.
Hoist by His Own Petard: He animates the Statue of Poseidon in Atlantis to protect him from harm. When Arkantos brings the statue down, it falls on Gargarensis and skewers him with the trident.
Karmic Death: He is cornered on a cliff, all his men is dead, and his arch-enemy approaches him. What does he do? Rather than surrendering, ha jumps on Arkantos, and impales himself on his spear, and then falls to his death. It seems as though the developers were trying to clean Arkantos for any involvement of his death, although he later pretty coldly orders the death of Gargarensis, (actually a disguised Kemsyt), when he is captured and defenseless.
Sinister Scimitar: A simple hook isn't good enough for him, so he uses a whole khopesh blade instead.
The Unintelligible: Like all minotaurs he speaks in grunts and in cutscenes is clear that he can't speak very well.
Kemsyt
A follower of Set who's working for Gargarensis. He's magically turned into a Gargarensis deadringer in order to buy the original one more time and is executed by Ajax.
You Have Failed Me: At one point Gargarensis actually says: "You have failed me again Kemsyt", and he repeatedly threatens to perform this trope on him, but although he finally sacrifices him for his own ends, it more like You Have Outlived Your Usefulness.
You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: When Gargarensis finds himself trapped in the Norselands with the gate closed, he needs to get to Atlantis fast. He then uses Skult's magics to turn Kemsyt into a replica of him, effectively ensuring Kemsyt's death and buying himself more time. Overlaps with You Have Failed Me.
Skult
A frail, suspicious old man living in Midgard who offers his help to Arkantos, but is eventually revealed to be Loki's avatar. He also appears in the campaign focused on Brokk and Eitri.
The Corrupter: To Brokk and Eitri in The Golden Gift.
Dirty Coward: His special attack? Crawling and begging for mercy.
Escort Mission: You have to escort him and his flag across a country of giants.
Arkantos' son, he's leading the Atlantinean to a new age and, guided by Krios, decides to accept the cult of the Titans and attack the other gods. He ends up releasing several Titans from Tartarus and atones himself by releasing Gaia to defeat Kronos.
Ascended Extra: He appears a few times as a child in cutscenes of the Fall of the Trident's campaign, but doesn't have any importance in the plot. Ten years later, as an adult he is the hero of the Titan's campaign.
The old and stern Theocrat of Atlantis, who guides the people alongside Kastor. He was actually killed by Kronos' winged servant which is killed by Kastor in the end.
The Greek General who orders his troops to attack the atlantineans when he finds out that they're worshipping the Titans. He's eventually killed by Kastor.
The King of the frost giants mentioned in The Fall of the Trident. Along with his loyal subjects he joins forces with our heroes to stop the Nordic Titan from destroying everything. He also appears in The Golden Gift, as a minor antagonist.
An Ice Person: He can even freeze Titans solid for a while, and in The Golden Gift, he repeatedly freezes anyone crossing the pass leading to his base, or approaching him.
Heel Face Turn: After hearing of Arkantos' victory over the forces of Gargarensis, he decided that humans were worth something after all, and left his evil ways in order to forge a kingdom for both humans and giants.
Filler Villain: His appearence in The Golden Gift. Ha has no relation to the plot or characters of the story at all, he just obstructs Brokk's path to the mines, and his forces must be defeated.
Large Ham: Namely in The Golden Gift. "You tiny men stay out of MY PASS"
Offstage Villainy: Mentioned to be a vicious and bloody tyrant in the original campaign.
The Other Darrin: In The Golden Gift, he actually appears in person, but as his finished model is only present in the expansion, and the campaign where made both for people with and people without the expansion, he is instead represented as a Frost Giant of Thrym.
King of the Gods and ruler of Olympus, he's one of the three main Greek Gods. He doesn't appear directly but still helps Arkantos in his struggle against Gargarensis.
God of the Sea and defender of Atlantis, he's the god worshipped by both the Atlantineans and Gargarensis. Revealed to be the Bigger Bad behind Gargarensis, he's envious of Zeus' power, so he wants to free Kronos and use him against the other gods.
The Beastmaster: His divine power summons a giant runic stone that attracts all the animals nearby.
Deus ex Machina: When Arkantos' forces are captured and Amanra is left alone, Isis answers to her prayer by summoning a huge number of mythological monsters to aid her.
Osiris' brother and God of the storms, desert, war and foreign countries. In the campaign he killed and mutillated Osiris, and now is providing Kemsyt with help.
The Beastmaster: His followers can summon wild animals (including crocodiles, monkeys, giraffes and rhinos) and use them in battle.
Ravens and Crows: He periodically summons two ravens that can be used to explore the land.
Thor
The God of Thunder, currently unable to do anything because his magical Hammer Mjollnir was stolen and broken apart by Loki.
Big Damn Heroes/Deus ex Machina: As Gargarensis is about to open the Gate, Thor's Hammer comes to life and flies towards the door, smashing it closed right under the Cyclops' nose.
Karma Houdini: In the context of the campaign at least.
The Mole: His god power allows you to turn an enemy soldier into this, allowing you to see what he sees. Also, in the campaign, when he is disguised as Skult, he pretends to be on Arkantos' side, only to make him lose time and men on fighting the clans.
The Sky Titan and father of Kronos. He doesn't play a role in the Expansion at all, but it is implied that he is just as evil as his son, considering that only Gaia is good among the Titans, and that some of the enemies worship him.
Curb-Stomp Battle: She totally trashes Kronos and then proceeds to toss him in a magma pool in Tartarus and then throw a whole mountain on him, sealing the gate for good.
Time Stands Still: He can sent enemy buildings back in time and move your own buildings across the map by manipulating time.
Minor Deities
Greek Gods
The various lesser gods of the Greeks. Namely Athena, Ares and Hermes for the Classic Age, Dionysus, Apollo and Aphrodite for the Heroic Age and Hera, Hephaestus and Artemis for the Mythic Age.
The various lesser gods of the Egyptians. Namely Ptah, Anubis and Bast for the Classic Age, Nephtys, Hathor and Sekmet for the Heroic Age and Thoth, Osiris and Horus for the Mythic Age.
Animal Motif: All of them, except Ptah, Nephtys and Osiris. Hey, they're Egyptian gods after all.
Evil Counterpart: Sekhmet to Bastet. Ironically, followers of Ra can actually choose both.
Everything's Better with Spinning: The Sphinxes can turn into a sand whirlwind to attack, while the Avengers can swirl and hit every enemy close to them.
Half-Human Hybrid: The Anubites are jackal men, then we have Nepthys' Scorpion Men and Horus' Avengers, who have the heads of hawks.
The various lesser gods of the Norse. Namely Freya, Heimdall and Forseti for the Classic Age, Bragi, Njord and Skadi for the Heroic Age and Hel, Baldr and Tyr for the Mythic Age.
All Trolls Are Different: Forseti allows you to summon Trolls, depicted as large grey humanoids who can throw stones at the enemies. When upgraded to Hammertrolls they grow a second head.
Kraken: Njord's mythical naval unit, capable of one-shotting ships.
Our Giants Are Bigger: Skadi has the Frost Giants (MightyGlaciers who can freeze their enemies), Njord has the Mountain Giants (powerful and slow creatures who deals extra damage to buildings) and Baldr has Fire Giants (flaming monsters with ranged attack). If you choose Hel, you can hire all three types of giants, but without their individual upgrades.
When Trees Attack: Njord's divine power. Pretty hilarious when cast on the forest where your enemy's collecting wood.
Atlantinean Gods
The various lesser titans for the Atlantinean. Namely Oceanus, Leto and Prometheus for the Classic Age, Thea, Rhea and Hyperion for the Heroic Age and Hecate, Atlas and Helios for the Mythic Age.
Action Girl: You'll notice that the Atlantinean have the greatest number of goddesses.
Fauns and Satyrs: Satyrs are avaible for Hyperion's followers. They can toss multiple spears at once and there's a power up that makes them toss even more spears.
Man-Eating Plant: Oceanus' divine power can summon one both on land or sea. It can work up to three times.
Mass Teleportation: Helios' divine power can move all your military units in one spot of the map. This is actually the key ability in a scenario of the Titans campaign.
Mighty Glacier: Behemoths, who can destroy buildings with ease but are otherwise too slow and uneffective for battle. Luckily they have a Healing Factor.
