History Characters / BaldursGateOtherPartyMembers

* ArcherArchetype: Starts with bow skills and the attitude. NPC mods for Tutu tend to have the option of turning him into a kitted archer. Chances are good this is why he's remembered from the first game at all, and is generally why he's recruited into parties in the first place, his skills being unvaluable at the beginning of the game (not to mention he joins at level 2 right off the bat).

* ArcherArchetype: A subversion. She has maxed-out Dexterity but weak Strength and Constitution, making her ideal role in combat standing in the back and using a shortbow. That said, her personality, being a naive SpoiledBrat, does not fit the 'cool-headed archer' persona.

* DropTheHammer: His weapon of choice. Given that he can't use axes, it's a little odd he mentions them in the page quote.

* DropTheHammer: She ''would'' favour axes if she could (since axes are Tempus' favoured weapon) but she was one edition too late for cleric to get full use of martial weapons, so she uses hammers as the closest approximation. She also has a special ability called Spiritual Hammer, which conjures a magic hammer into her hand for a time.

* KickTheSonOfABitch[=/=]PayEvilUntoEvil: Killing Eldoth is definitely something players can sympathize with.

* CoolHelmet: He wears a cool winged helmet, though it doesn’t have magical properties aside from the immunity to critical hits common to all helmets. It’s also seen in the portrait.

* TheSociopath: A textbook example. He is neither high-functioning enough to solidly fit into an organization or society (like Kagain), nor low-functioning enough to simply slaughter his way through the world (like Tiax) without at least a few allies to watch his back, and is also smart enough to stay off the really big guys' lawn. This places him firmly at NeutralEvil.[[in-universe]]

* {{Druid}}: It's her class, [[JustForPun naturally]].

** In his biography, <Charname> remarks that his/her impression of Kivan is that he doesn't seem to make friends easily. This view isn't entirely supported by the game, making it seem like Kivan has an OddFriendship with ''everyone''. He will compliment Good and Neutral-aligned characters and thank people for their compliments, indicating he has social skills. He also realizes that you and those in your party are strangers to the Sword Coast, so he must know a lot of people. He is perfectly happy to join a group, even saying "I hope we will work well together". However, the fact that his wife died (which is [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holmes_and_Rahe_stress_scale the most stressful event ever in a person's life]] ''and'' which would has left him angry and maybe also depressed) would lead people to avoid him and avoid talking to him, which is a problem that happens in RealLife as well. As noted elsewhere, Charisma is the leadership stat, ''not'' the social skills stat. Kivan would obviously have trouble convincing others to follow him in his revenge mission, as most people wouldn't be willing to do what basically sounds like a suicide mission.

* TookALevelInBadass: In [=BG1=] she's a nondescript druid in gameplay terms and fairly [[IncrediblyLamePun good-natured]] despite her philosophy; in the sequel she's much more powerful...

* AffablyEvil: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] both ways. He's mostly grumpy, but can be friendly at times. He's a over-all honest person, so there's every reason to believe that his moments of kindness is genuine. He also isn't actively evil, unlike most evil companions, just greedy and apathic enough to become one.

* GlassCannon: Third-highest strength in the game and good dexterity to boot, as befitting an elf, and he uses the games' most damaging weapons, [[BladeOnAStick Halberds]] and Composite Longbows. Unsurprisingly, his health is somewhat low for a warrior. Justifiable in-universe, though, in that he was tortured before the events of the game take place.

Viconia is a Drow who the player can meet (and recruit) in one of the wilderness areas. This is filler text because there was, oddly, no folder for her (odd because she is a good NPC / fan favourite).

* LadyOfBlackMagic: As an evil cleric, she can animate and control undead creatures.

* TheCynic: Likes strength, hates letting her guard down.
