Children of Heimlock
These warriors were once three ordinary children whose hometown was destroyed by supernatural forces. They were each saved by Grand Inquisitor Heimlock who took them in as his own. Now, they serve as Purifiers, vanquishing demons and other supernatural forces under the command of Heimlock and the Republic.
They consist of Edric, Valeria and the Player Character.
- The Chosen One: A dark, villainous example. Ahriman specifically chose them to serve as vessels for him. Its in fact the main reason Heimlock was even there to save them that day.
- The final chapter reveals that each of the siblings had a specific trait that made them viable for being Ahriman's host: Edric had his sheer physical strength as well as his predisposition to follow the orders of his superiors regardless of his own personal feelings, Valeria had her brutal and violent nature, and the protagonist had their unique powers.
- Happily Adopted: The three of them respect and adore Heimlock as their adopted father.
- Two Guys and a Girl: If the player chooses to play as a man they can become this trope.
The player character. After an ambush from the Flayers while marching on the Brotherhood of Dawn, they are suspected to have demon powers when they unintentionally transform into an aspect. While on the run, they get caught up in a darker plot that threatens everything they hold dear.
- Action Girl: Can be this if the player chooses to play as a girl.
- An Adventurer Is You: As expected of the player character.
- Heroic Sacrifice: In the end of Act 3, they attempt to sacrifice themselves to save Heimlock and Valeria by taking all of Ahriman's power into themselves. This leads to them becoming possessed by Ahriman for a time, but they eventually regain control.
Heimlock's adopted son.
- My Country, Right or Wrong: Refuses to abandon the Republic and remains loyal to them to the very end, forcing the Purifier to kill him.
Heimlock's adopted daughter.
- An Arm and a Leg: An Ahriman-possessed Heimlock severs her left arm during the final battle.
- Blood Knight: She's always eager for a fight.
