YMMV / Knights of Ambrose

• Magnificent Bastard:
  • Uno is a skilled assassin and a reliable ally in mortalkind's struggle against Zamas. After gaining a fearsome reputation for killing corrupt aristocrats in Halonia, Uno forms a secret alliance with King Floyd in order to eliminate their mutual enemies. During a mission to kill Typhus the Worldbreaker's son, Uno befriends the Halonian champion Ruth, going as far as to free her from her unjust imprisonment while taking advantage of the chaos caused by Typhus. Uno later reveals he stole the legendary Sylvans sword from Halonia, ensuring the party's victory over Typhus. In Timeline 1, Uno separates his wife Malady from their son Dylan and devises an elaborate security system in his new home to keep her out, but reconciles with her after she solves his puzzles. When Halonia's rival nation Zamaste emerges from stasis, Uno takes Dylan on a mission to spy on the latter country's royal family, with Uno mugging and impersonating a butler in order to get closer to the queen. Although the queen sees through his disguise and imprisons him, Uno kills the prison guards and the butler, and then uses the butler's corpse to fake his own death so he can sabotage Zamaste's war effort. In Timeline 2, Uno steals Hermes's staff from his former ally Lissandra and instructs his descendants to seal it in a temple, keeping Lissandra from obtaining it for nearly a century.
  • Lissandra is the second leader of the Drakon Cult, who is brainwashed by Zamas and Lilith to help them revive Typhus the Worldbreaker. In Timeline 2, Lissandra attacks and taunts the heroes of Halonia in order to bait them into seeking the pieces of the wish-granting Vulcan Stone, all while plotting for her brother Hermes to gain their trust and hand the pieces to her. When Hermes helps the party take the stone back, Lissandra anticipates that they'll go to Mount Vulcan and intercepts them, coming dangerously close to resurrecting Typhus. After Hermes sacrifices himself to free her, Lissandra declares vengeance on her former manipulators and tries to steal Morgoth's Eye of Destruction without her allies' permission. A century later, Lissandra, now known as Silnastra, sends her son Achilles to join Lilith as a spy in order to look for a way to kill her nemesis. Taking advantage of Helen's mental shutdown, Silnastra instructs Belume's heroes on how to save her in exchange for Hermes's staff. Silnastra then stalks the party to the Depths and tries to take a powerful tome from them by force, but gracefully accepts defeat when she fails. During the battle against Lilith, Silnastra overloads Hermes's staff to save the party and permanently weaken Lilith, and then sacrifices herself to prevent the continent of Belume from crashing to the surface.
  • Knight Bewitched 2: Hermes is a seemingly harmless cleric who seeks to cure his sister Lissandra of Zamas's influence by using the forbidden power of the Vulcan Stone. When Lissandra has a vision about the Vulcan Stone pieces being located in the Underworld, Hermes agrees to help her by acting as a spy within the dwarven expedition and getting the party to obtain the stone pieces, which he hands over to her. Hermes then betrays Lissandra by telling the party her next location, causing them to recover the completed stone just before she can wish for Typhus's resurrection. When Lissandra takes back the stone, Hermes declares his wish first and destroys the stone, knowing that doing so will curse him to become a demon. Hermes then attempts to seal himself away to avoid killing anyone, and when the party and his sister chase him down anyways, he holds back his demonic impulses so that they can Mercy Kill him.
