History Characters / BaldursGateIIICompanionsAndFollowers

* AnimalMotifs: Peacocks. He reared them, and used his druidic powers to wildshape into one to escape when attacked by Absolutist marauders.

* NoHeroToHisValet: Jaheira is a famous hero, the subject of songs and legends, but her children don't waste any time chewing her out for not contacting them more often.

* SugarAndIcePersonality: Heavy on the ''Ice'', especially at the outset of the game when she's still under the Absolute's control (especially being a proud member of Draw Royalty). After her HumiliationConga and subsequent recruitment into the party, she's only marginally nicer than before, having a sharp remark for everyone [[PetTheDog save Karlach]]. However, if she's romanced, then she swings hard into ''Sugar'', where she's the most openly passionate and romantic love interest aside from Karlach. By Act III, she's very aggressive in her kissing animations, often grabbing Tav/Durge by the neck and pulling them close, even occasionally ''dipping'' them for a deep kiss. And yes, she even does this to male characters.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: During the mission to rescue Minsc, Jaheira at one point laments her failures and blames it on her age. The player can quip to her that she's "not old; she's ''ancient''"; Jaheira will burst out laughing and gain approval, while also calling the player a bastard.

* {{Irony}}: Despite having to commit [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential some of the cruelest acts in the game]] to flag her for recruitment, [[spoiler:she'll privately reflect on her own atrocities and disavow them on the grounds that the Absolute overrode her free will -- a mitigating factor that applies to you [[YouBastard not at all]].]]

* MookFaceTurn: She can be subjected into this by the player character in Act 2, assuming that she lives past the Emerald Grove questline in the previous act. [[spoiler:Arriving at Moonrise Towers will treat them to Minthara being tortured by the Cult of the Absolute for her failure to find the Astral Prism, and they must help her break free either by tricking the cultists into letting them leave with her, or by killing everyone in the area. Once either condition has been met and they have directed her to their camp, Minthara would then be willing to join the party in the fight against the cult, if only to get back at the Absolute's Chosen for disposing of her.]]

* NayTheist: This is generally her attitude towards the gods once you've recruited her into the party, [[spoiler:partly born out of her disillusionment with the Absolute for tampering with her free will]]. She sees most gods as [[JerkassGods fickle and self-serving jerks]] who see their followers as pawns that can be disposed to their advantage, and she would often make comments about her viewpoint whenever the party encounters any of them or those strongly associated with them (e.g. [[spoiler:the Dead Three]], Mystra, Shar, Vlaakith).
* NeverMyFault: [[spoiler:When Z’rell chews out Minthara for her failure to retrieve the Astral Prism during the raid on the Emerald Grove, she attempts to shift the blame on her goblin minions while insisting that she would’ve been able to fulfill her mission if she had drow warriors at her command instead of goblins. Both Z’rell and Ketheric Thorm are having none of it, and the latter sends her to her doom for her lack of accountability.]]

** A Dark Urge player can kill her while she's sleeping after they have sex.

* OlderThanTheyLook: She may look like she's between her late 30s to early 40s, but she was around [[spoiler:when Viconia [=DeVir=] had been exiled from Menzoberranzan]], making her at least 200 hundred years old. Given as she is an elf this is not surprising at all.

* ReforgedIntoAMinion: [[spoiler: If the player kills her in Act 1 or fails to save her in Act 2, she will reappear in the Mind Flayer Colony as one of [[{{Necromancer}} Balthazar]]'s zombie minions.]]
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler:Befitting of the divine oath she took as a paladin, she would spend the entire second act enacting her vengeance against Ketheric Thorm for sentencing her to her doom by aiding the party in cutting off the source of his immortality and eventually storming Moonrise Towers. Minthara is so set on this goal that any attempt to backtrack to any of the Act 1 areas would cause her to remain in camp to plan on Ketheric’s downfall, only joining the party again upon returning to the Shadow-Cursed Lands.]]

** If Scratch dies for whatever reason, Minthara will bitterly mention that everyone thinks ''she'' did it and disavow the notion, insisting that she liked him.

* DoesNotLikeMen: A more subdued example, but she generally tends to have higher opinion of the female members of the party than the male ones, with a particular disdain for Gale who she doesn't see as worth befriending because wizards tend to die young, this despite liking and admiring Karlach for how she lives in the moment despite her days being numbered thanks to the infernal engine in her chest. When meeting a drow player chaacter for the first time at the goblin camp, she will greet a female drow as a sister-in-arms while treating a male drow with dismissiveness. It's likely that this is another byproduct of her having grown up in Lolth-sworn drow society, [[LadyLand where men are treated as second-class citizens at best and slaves at worst]]. And should she be present when [[spoiler:using speak with dead on Ffion's corpse and finding out she was murdered by her own son]], she may say this:

* {{Foil:}} [[spoiler:To Gorion from the previous games, acting as the mentor for the hero. Like Gorion, Sceleritas watched and mentored their charge for most of their life. While Gorion raised their Ward with virtue and kindness like providing them with a stable home, Sceleritas is actively encourging the Dark Urge to indulge in their desire for murder, and even influence them to kill their loved ones. Gorion directly intervened in a Bhaalist ritual to save their future Ward's life, adopted them and raised them as a hero. Meanwhile, Sceleritas was directly charged by Bhaal to ensure that the Dark Urge become a killer and a Chosen of the God of Murder. While Gorion dies early at the beginning of the game, his virtuous legacy, and the positive influence he leaves behind potentially succeeds in helping his Ward in conquering their Bhaalspawn nature. Sceleritas remains a dark presence throughout the game, either staying permanently after the Dark Urge reclaims their status as a Chosen or vanishes permanently after they defied their father.]]

* UnholyMatrimony: [[spoiler:If Tav romances her, they become one with her, making plans to either take over Baldur's Gate or conquer Menzoberranzan.]]
** [[spoiler:In Patch 6, if she is Tav's love interest, she is spared from becoming enthralled and gets to enjoy commanding The Absolute's army with Tav.]]

** [[In Patch 6, if she is Tav's love interest, she is spared from becoming enthralled and gets to enjoy commanding The Absolute's army with Tav.]]

A powerful cambion who made an infernal pact with Wyll, granting him his warlock powers.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: If she becomes a companion, she would often encourage the player character to hijack the Absolute and use its powers to dominate the world with her at their side. [[spoiler:Unfortunately for her, this only ends up reducing her to a mindless thrall under the player character's control through the elder brain]].

* HumiliationConga: It depends on player actions but the latter half of the game can turn into a real bad time for her. [[spoiler: First she gets captured and imprisoned by the Cult of the Absolute (this part happens automatically). Then, once freed, she will try to get Wyll to sell his soul to get the location to rescue his father and can be rejected, leaving her with only the consolation prize of revenge, in that that Wyll's father will die. Then even that consolation prize can be taken away if the PC and Wyll find and rescue Duke Ravengard anyway, leaving Mizora's dealings with Wyll a complete failure for her. To top it off is Wyll decides to become the Blade of Avernus he makes hunting and killing Mizora his top priority, meaning she's very likely to die in the near future.]]

* WizardClassic: Elminster always plays the trope to some degree depending on the artist, but his appearance in the game goes all in on this trope, giving him his pointed hat (and baring quite a resemblance to a graphically superior version of [[https://baldursgate.fandom.com/wiki/Elminster_Aumar?file=BGEE_Elminster_NPC.png his sprite from the first two games]]).
* YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe: Of course, it's Elminster. Wouldst thou have expected anything else?
