History Characters / BaldursGateIIICompanionsAndFollowers

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: in the epilogue, she calls Gale "Gale" instead of "Mr. Dekarios" if [[spoiler: he becomes a god to show her lack of respect for the path he chose.]]

** She also heavily disapproves of [[spoiler:murdering Isobel just so the Dark Urge can obtain their slayer form.]] While Minthara isn't complaining about the reward, she questions and openly dislikes that you had to [[spoiler:kille Isobel, who had been nothing but kind]] for it.

* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: The Emperor is terrified of the chaos in Minsc's mind [[spoiler: and has to be threatened by both the PC and Jaheira to extend his protection to Minsc as he does the rest of the party.]]

* NoodleIncident: She apparently once burned down a teashop that was a front for a drug den. Although she maintains that it was the proprietor's own fault for improperly storing it.

* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: [[spoiler:If save them from the mind flayer prison beneath Moonrise Towers and summon them to your party, they will project an illusion to passersby disguising them as a cat, and only your closest followers will see their true form.]]

* TookALevelInBadass: When encountered on the nautiloid, Us can only claw at enemies (although they are somewhat tanky for the time, having more health than the level one characters). [[spoiler: If it survives the nautiloid and is found again in Act 2 its health is higher and it now possesses reasonably impressive pisonic attacks.]]

* VoiceOfTheLegion: Not simultaneously, but its voice seems to change slightly from sentence to sentence, almost like its voice by multiple, similar-sounding children.

* StupidEvil: [[spoiler: Debatably it's also Bhaal that categorizes as this, but if the Dark Urge doesn't go through killing Isobel, Sceleritas won't give a damn if you try justifying it with PragmaticVillainy; if Bhaal wants something done, ''it gets done''. This gets further driven home when as punishment, he demands that you kill your own LoveInterest or highest-approval party member, something so transparently spiteful and against the Dark Urge's best interests that they can directly cite it as one of the reasons they're rejecting Bhaal in Act 3.]]

* StupidEvil: [[spoiler: Debatably it's also Bhaal that categorizes as this, but if the Dark Urge doesn't go through killing Isobel, Sceleritas won't give a damn if you try justifying it with PragmaticVillainy; if Bhaal wants something done, ''it gets done''. This gets further driven home when as punishment, he demands that you kill your own LoveInterest or highest-approval party member, something so transparently spiteful and against the Dark Urge's best interests that they can directly cite it as one of the reasons to reject Bhaal in Act 3.]]

* YouWillBeSpared: [[spoiler:If the Dark Urge embraces their Bhaalspawn heritage, they can later ask Sceleritas if embracing Bhaal will require them to murder their beloved. Sceleritas assures them that won't be necessary, [[PragmaticVillainy if only to ensure the Dark Urge has a viable mate to sire more Bhaalspawn with]]. It turns out to be a case of ExactWords come the '''Sins of the Father''' ending, where your LoveInterest will survive, but they get brainwashed, and the Dark Urge has no problem with that.]]

* StupidEvil: [[spoiler: Debatably it's also Bhaal that categorizes as this, but if the Dark Urge doesn't go through killing Isobel, Sceleritas won't give a damn if you try justifying it with PragmaticVillainy; if Bhaal wants something done, ''it gets done''. This gets further driven home when as punishment, he demands that you kill your own LoveInterest or highest-approval party member, something so transparently spiteful and against the Dark Urge's best interests that they can't directly cite it as one of the reasons to reject Bhaal in Act 3.]]

* StupidEvil: [[spoiler: Debatably it's also Bhaal that categorises as this, but if the Dark Urge doesn't go through with the objectively stupid and pointless act of killing Isobel, and thus the only allies they have in a land literally shrouded in an all-consuming undeath curse, he will goad them into killing their lover. This ensures that even the most bloodthirsty Dark Urge will have an extremely personal reason to defy Bhaal and leave him without a chosen, thus destroying all of his plans.]]

* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: While any Origin character can romance Minthara (so long as they keep her at the appropriate approval threshold), she's particularly quick to fall for the Dark Urge, who while not totally evil suffers from random bouts of murderous impulses. [[spoiler:Of the recruitable cast, she's the only one [[AdmiringTheAbomination who finds their Slayer form "beautiful"]]. As of hotfix #21, however, Minthara will break things off with a Dark Urge who pulled a HeelFaceTurn and rejected Bhaal.]]

* {{Polyamory}}: If his romance arc is pursued, Halsin is quick to assure you that he has no designs on your independence, and is quite alright with you pursuing other romances alongside him.

* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Three-hundred-fifty years old and looks like he's barely pushing forty. Wood Elves live for seven hundred years on average, and as a druid Halsin has the potential to stretch that out to seven thousand.

* SmugSnake: While she absolutely revels in watching Wyll squirm as she tasks him with rescuing an important devil from the clutches of the Absolute, a perception check will reveal she's desperate enough for Wyll to succeed that she'll agree to break his pact as a reward. [[spoiler:When it is revealed that ''she'' is the devil that needs rescuing, she drops the act and angrily demand the party free her... and then upon being freed, proceeds to smugly exploit a loophole in Wyll's pact that will keep him in her service for several months before it can be broken]]. Even if the player goes along with her whims, its' clear she derides much of her power from being able to torment Wyll, and any time something throws a wrench into it, she's quick to get angry or spiteful.

* WhatTheHellHero: As of Hotfix 21, she is ''furious'' at a Dark Urge who [[spoiler:rejects Bhaal after defeating Orin and is cured of their curse, claiming that they just cost the party a valuable alliance with one of the most powerful gods in Faerun that could have helped them against the Absolute]].

* TeamMom: Just like in the old games, she continues to act as a mother toward the party, now with the decades and [[spoiler:actually is a mother]] to match the trope. The dynamic comes across most when she's dealing with fellow Harpers, or with Minsc, whom she's not afraid to call out for his more idiotic moments in a tone not unlike a mother exasperated at a child. Minsc, meanwhile, shows more restraint around her [[spoiler:and is even terrified of Boo mentioning comments he made about her to Jaheira]].

* ToxicFriendInfluence: Y'know, if the equally-psychopathic parent ''approved'' of an increasingly toxic childhood friend. Sceleritas was always helping The Dark Urge with their worst murders and cheering on their groundbreaking forms of murder art. Some fans have theorized that the ''real'' reason The Dark Urge could always find their way back to a path that would make most spree-killers cringe in horror was because Sceleritas was the ''one'' friend who would never see them as a tool or run in pants-wetting terror of the real Urge, in the same way that Orin was fanatically devoted to her craft because it appeared to earn her praise from her 'beloved' grandfather Sarevok. Conversely, when The Dark Urge loses all memory of their friendship and manages to find friends who can accept who they are without being ''completely'' insane, it puts them on a potential path to redemption, and Scheleritas feels increasing amounts of rejection and shame from this shift in their life-long blood brother.
* UndyingLoyalty: [[spoiler:Sceleritas is in the service of the Court of Murder, specifically Orin and the Dark Urge and serves them faithfully, though he's especially zealous in his efforts with the Dark Urge and assisted them in some of their more grisly murders. His loyalty to the Dark Urge post-amnesia will cease if the latter resists and refuses to indulge in the Urge and goes back to serving Orin and the Court, though not before telling the Dark Urge they have one more chance to prove themselves.]]

* AllPowerfulBystander: All-Powerful might be overselling him. ''Might''. But he is far more powerful than he lets on, and is content to sit in camp and let you do all the work. [[spoiler:His TheReasonYouSuckSpeech that he levels towards [[GreaterScopeVillain the Dead Three]] after their plan fails miserably in TheStinger implies Withers is ''definitely'' towards the All-Powerful side, with how brazenly he talks down to the three gods, even going so far as to say he "overestimated" their capabilities and that they aren't fit for the title of "gods".]]

* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: With the reveal that the Guardian is not just a manifestation of the tadpole in your head but a being within the artifact that Shadowheart carries, its appearance is this. You don't get to see how your party members see the Dream Protector, but Gale specifically refers to them as a "she" while the Dream Protector may appear to you as a man depending on your choice at the start of the game. [[spoiler:Goes a step even further upon the reveal that the Dream Protector's true form is that of a mindflayer, albeit a mindflayer that has broken free from the Illithid hivemind and has zero desire to go back.]]

* TheBusCameBack [[spoiler:If The Emperor is hostile during the final battle, he will summon 4 versions of the Dream Protector -- the same ones who had appeared to each of your party members -- to fight with him. Disturbingly, they will persist after his death, suggesting that they may have been projections from the Netherbrain]].

* PracticalCurrency: Tara will accept fish in exchange for items in Act 3.

* FantasticRacism: Upon first meeting her as a non-drow elf, she will greet you with a hint of disdain and refer to you as ''"darthiir"'', a FantasticSlur drow use for surface elves. Meanwhile, meeting her as a half-drow will have her greet you with the hope that your devotion to the Absolute can make up for [[HalfBreedDiscrimination the impurities of your blood]].
* FatalFlaw: Her {{Pride}}. Minthara's family are effectively royalty so far as the drow are concerned, and playing on her pride and entitlement is an easy way to catch her off-guard. She herself admits as much when recounting how Ketheric captured her, lamenting that she fell straight into his trap.

* SugarAndIcePersonality: Heavy on the ''Ice'', especially at the outset of the game when she's still under the Absolute's control (especially being [[BlueBlood a proud member of Drow nobility]]). 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 the player character by the neck and pulling them close, even occasionally ''dipping'' them for a deep kiss. And yes, she even does this to male characters.

* BadSamaritan: He is essentially the devil on the Dark Urge's shoulder, encouraging them not just to indulge in their murderous impulses, but to ''revel'' in it.
