History Characters / TheOrder1886

* FriendlyRivalry: With Igraine.

* OlderThanTheyLook

* WhatTheHellHero: On the receiving end of one.

* OlderThanTheyLook

* TheCharmer: There's not a woman in London he won't try to seduce. It's debatable whether he actually follows in on it or just enjoys the flirting.
* ThirdPersonPerson

* BigBadDuumvirate: [[spoiler: His dialogue with Lord Hastings suggests he's working ''with'' the Master Vampire rather than ''for'' him. Alastair seems to have authority over the Lycans while Hastings has authority over the vampires.]]

* LegacyCharacter

* OlderThanTheyLook

* WouldntHurtAChild: [[spoiler: Being on the receiving end of this saved his life as a child.]]

Genius inventer from the late 19th century and pioneer in the field of electrical devices, Tesla serves as The Order version of Q, supplying the knights with various useful tool and gadgets. Preferably in a fine leather carrying case.

* BigBad: [[spoiler: Is the true mastermind behind the Half Breed and vampire scourge in London and plans to expand the scourge beyond England.]]

* ManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler: To the Half Breeds and Alastair]].
* NonActionBigBad: [[spoiler: Subverted, he has personally been killing people as Jack the Ripper and attempts to attack Lady Lakshmi as a vampire, but the player never fights him.]]
* SerialKiller: [[spoiler: Jack the Ripper no less.]]

* FridgeHorror: A slight one of these when she talks about facing Elders in Jhansi. Before this, two full knights have on hell of a fight against just one Elder, ''two full fledged immortal knights that have been fighting for centuries''. Let alone the numbers she implies she faced. What happened in Jhansi must have been terrible...

* LadyOfWar

* RebelLeader

* ActionGirl

* UndyingLoyalty: She has this to Lakshmi.
* FireForgedFriends: Slightly with Galahad, she really ''really'' doesn't like him to start with, since he and the knights are a singular pain in the butt to the rebels. They nearly shoot each other. But once he proves his loyalty, she doesn't mind him so much...

%%* BadassBeard

* BadassMoustache: Sports a 'stache that any proper Victorian gentleman would be proud of.

* BadassBeard
* BadassGrandpa: Being a few centuries old doesn't stop him from going right into action.

* BadassGrandpa: In addition to his physical age, he is centuries old, is the leader of the Order of Knights and has fought alongside King Arthur himself. An official art book for the Order, titled ''Blackwater Archives'', confirms the Lord Chancellor's identity as being ''Lancelot himself''.

* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Yes, he is '''the''' Lafayette, as in the veteran of French and American revolutions. And he's the ''youngest'' of the team. Nonetheless, he's quite different from the historical figure, namely that UsefulNotes/MarquisDeLaFayette wasn't a seductive Casanova type but a HappilyMarried man, secondly, [=LaFayette=] joined the American Revolution because his father died fighting the English during the UsefulNotes/SevenYearsWar and he wanted revenge, he also remained a French patriot. As such, its quite a stretch for him to be joining an English Order of Knights, needless to say.[[note]]Though it's possible in this timeline his father was killed by a half-breed instead, thus spurring him to ally with anyone who fights them. The Order's mission is treated as a sort of
"greater war" than any political or nationalistic cause.[[/note]]

->'''Voiced by:''' ''Graham [=McTavish=]''

->'''Voiced by:''' ''Alice Coulthard''

* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Zig-zagged. She's sporting quite a nasty scar spanning one side of her throat with fashion of the Victorian era covering most of it. [[spoiler:But when she ends up with a life-trheatening injury, the script opts for the Lycan to snap her spine rather than maul her.]]

* GreenEyedMonster: Heavily hinted that at least part of her [[spoiler: InspectorJavert hunt and hatred towards the Rebels later in the game is because she thinks Galahad was personally involved with the Rebel Leader]].
* HeroicBSOD: Suffers one when she's led to believe [[spoiler: Galahad is guilty of treason.]]
* [[spoiler: InspectorJavert: Becomes one to Galahad when she swears to hunt down the Rebels to the very last one.]]

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler: She just sort of disappears towards the ending.]]
* WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler: She desperately tries to reach out to him first, but when her efforts fail, she ends up giving Galahad a major one.]]

->'''Voiced by:''' ''Frederik Hamel''

->'''Voiced by:''' ''Matthew Waterson''

* [[spoiler: EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He claims his love for his sister and adopted father are genuine and his actions earlier seem to confirm it.]]

->'''Voiced by:''' ''Yuri Lowenthal''

* [[spoiler: DefectorFromDecadence: Works with the Rebels, even though he's officially employed by the Order.]]

--> '''Nikola''': Thomas and I...are not on speaking terms. ''({{Beat}})'' The man is an ''idiot''!

->'''Voiced by''' ''Paul Gregory''

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse[=/]TheUnfought: [[spoiler: Disappears shortly after being exposed to Grayson, who instead fights with Alastair, with no final confrontation, leaving him open as a potential sequel hook.]]

* TheObiWan: His colleagues turn to him when it comes to knowledge of Half-breeds.
** [[spoiler:And as is sadly [[MentorOccupationalHazard common with this trope]], Perceval joins the ranks of dead mentor role models at the end of chapter 5.]]

A respected aristocrat and head of the United India Company, who frequents the Order's council meetings and assassination target of the rebels. [[spoiler: Is infact a MasterVampire behind the Half Breed army and it's attacks]].

Leader of the Order and Isabeau and Alistair's adopted father.

* PapaWolf: [[spoiler: Towards Alitair. He clearly loves his son despite him being a Half Breed and demands the secret be kept for the Order's sake. Even when he knows Alistair must die, he refuses to be the one who kills him. He also states the secret must be kept for Isabeau's sake]].
* PetTheDog: His strict and rough demeanor throughout the game aside, there's his relationship with his adopted children. Namely, [[spoiler: raising and protecting Alistair despite knowing his true heritage as a Lycan. He demands Grayson not the reveal the truth to anyone, especially Isabeau for her sake and that of the Order, and demands that Grayson to finish what he started with Alistair and leave as opposed to killing him on the spot]].
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Despite his apparent disinterest in the Whitechappel killings, he does leave the decision to look into it up to a vote. Also at the end of the game, [[spoiler: rather than have Grayson killed on the spot, despite everything (fatally wounding his son, killing a large number of the Order's soldiers, and apparently being a traitor) has him ousted from the Order and demands he vanishes as London falls under martial law to hunt Grayson, so long as the truth about Alistair isn't revealed]].

* ManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler: To the Half Breeds and Alistair]].

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse[=/]TheUnfought: [[spoiler: Disappears shortly after being exposed to Grayson, who instead fights with Alistair, with no final confrontation, leaving him open as a potential sequel hook.]]

* BadassCreed: Never outright said in game, but Galahad's motto present vowen into his sleeve reads ''Post Tenebras Veritas''[[note]]Possible to translate as "Through darkness one finds truth."[[/note]]

* AxCrazy: [[spoiler: Comes with being JackTheRipper]].

* SerialKiller: [[spoiler: JackTheRipper no less.]]

* {{Badass}}: Can take on Elder [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent Lycans]] with only a knife and win.

* [[spoiler: BlondGuysAreEvil]]

* FakingTheDead: She did this to throw the British off her trail. Rightly assuming that their arrogance wouldn't mean they looked too hard.

* VillainWithGoodPublicity: As far as the public knows, he is the repsected head of United India and an ally of the Order.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Despite his apparent disinterest in the Whitechappel killings, he does leave the decision to look into it up to a vote. Also at the end of the game, [[spoiler: rather than have Grayson killed on the spot, despite everything (fatally wounding his son, killing a large number of the Order's soldiers, and apparently being a traitor) has him ousted from the Order and demands he vanishes as London falls under martial law to hunt Grayson, so long as the truth about Alistair isn't revealed]].
