History Characters / DarkSoulsIITheLostCrownsTrilogy

* DropTheHammer: One of them has a massive war-hammer.

* TheArcher: Cerah provides long-range support with a greatbow. It's powerful enough to knock you off your feet and deal a large a mount of damage.

* TheArcher: Provides excellent long range support with his Dragonslayer Greatbow.

* StoneWall: Her attacks don't deal a lot of damage, but she'll last a long time against the bosses she's summoned for. She swaps to a SquishyWizard in ''Crown of the Ivory King'', where she won't last long against Aava, but still launches devastating pyromancies.

[[folder:Holy Knight Aurhiem]]

* TheUnfought: You get fragments of her soul from the Fume Knight and ashen idols, meaning she's been dead for a ''long'' time. However, the ashen idols encountered throughout the DLC are quintessentially "her". All they can do is whisper unintelligible words and occasionally cast the Outcry pyromancy. It is likely for the best that this is the case: It is strongly indicated by her soul that she was incredibly strong as Children of the Dark go. [[spoiler: Nashandra]] was the weakest, and Elana was not indicated to be especially strong or weak, indicating that she was probably average. Thus, if Nadalia were still in possession of her physical form, she likely would have been a fight that would have made either one of them look like nothing.

* AnimatedArmor: This armor set is animated by Nadalia's influence and floats around on its own. Because of this you cannot backstab them. Furthermore, Possessed Armor found in Brume-infested areas will continuously respawn until the Ashen Idol located there isn't destroyed.

** It also wouldn't be far fetched to see her EFFORTLESSLY slaying the Ivory King and the remnants of the Loyce Knights, therefore her refusal to do so is more likely a decision made out of grief over the situation.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: She's not wearing any kind of footwear, or [[{{Stripperific}} much of anything else either.]]

* BladeOnAStick: He wields a Winged Spear.

* BladeOnAStick: The non-magical variant use a combo of shield and spear to fight.

* BladeOnAStick: Another knight wields a halberd, despite its in-game name being a Scythe.

* OneHundredPercentAdorationRating: By all this said of him, from either Alsanna or the people of the kingdom, neither they or even any of the lore associated with him ''NEVER'' have anything bad to say or regard him in a negative way.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: He was the highest-ranking knight of his homeland before becoming the king, and his skill sure hasn't dwindled when he fights you.

* BonusBoss: Because the ''Crown of the Sunken King'' DLC does not affect your main story progression, she and the subsequent bosses all qualify. Elana has the distinction of being a mandatory ''back-to-back'' BonusBoss with Sinh if you're going to retrieve the Crown itself.

* {{Necromancer}}: During her fight, she will sometimes summon skeletons to distract you while she continues casting hexes.

* BonusBoss: Because ''Crown of the Sunken King'' is only accessed through Downloadable Content, he's way out of the main story, on top of being significantly harder than most endgame bosses. Defeating him ends the first DLC's questline of retrieving the Sunken King Crown.

* BonusBoss: They are both this to the normal game and within the context of the ''Crown of the Sunken King'' DLC. You have to access a secret cavern within the Sanctum City in order to challenge them, and they are not mandatory for obtaining the Crown.

** GlassCannon / TheSuperego: Cerah has the least health/defenses but can either swiftly drain your health with quick Estoc pokes or BackStab you to rack up tremendous damage very quickly. Also, he provides ranged support, arrows shot from his greatbow not only take a chunk of your health, but knock you off your feet.
** JackOfAllStats / TheEgo: The Graverobber is very maneurable while having decent defense, and can quickly bleed you out with that dual katanas of hers.
** MightyGlacier / TheId: Varg moves, rolls and swings slowly but is very capable of flattening you or sending you flying, and even hitting you with a SpinAttack of his Dragon Tooth when you are behind him.

* BonusBoss: The Fume Knight resides at the very bottom of the Brume Tower, which will require you hours of exploration within that particular DLC area. Killing him will allow you to recover the crown of the Old Iron King behind his boss arena.

* BonusBoss: As with any other DLC boss, but gaining access to him in particular requires you to acquire the Crown of the Old Iron King, after which his armour on display will flare up, ''and'' the Ashen Mist Heart, acquired late in the main game. Overall, this makes him one of last bosses fought in a playthrough, as you will need to have progressed all the way to the Dragon Shrine, ''then'' defeat the Fume Knight, who is the DLC's mandatory boss fight.

* BonusBoss: As with any other DLC boss, though Aava is mandatory if you want to get the titular crown. Lud and Zallen, on the other hand, provide no relevance to the questline, and are fought at the end of a very brutal optional area.

* BonusBoss: He's the final enemy you have to defeat if you want to acquire the Crown of the Ivory King, clearing the main questline for that particular DLC.

* LightningBruiser: He's extremely quick on his feet, and can even backflip during the fight. As a BonusBoss, his damage output is also through the roof, and his swordplay is swift enough to leave you no room to breathe.

* WeaponOfChoice: Most of them wield a long-handled mace, but there are variants armed with longbows, swords or lances.

* WeaponOfChoice: They come armed with either the unique Ashen Warrior Sword, dual axes, longbows, or the halbeard & shield combo.

* AnAxeToGrind: Wields her personal halberd, the Wrathful Axe, which also functions as a catalyst. You can trade Elana's soul to Ornifex for a replica of this weapon, complete with a special dark aura attack.

* AnAxeToGrind: One of the knights carries a white variant of the Black Knight Greataxe.

* AnAxeToGrind [=/=] BladeOnAStick: One variant wields a black Old Knight Halberd.

* AbsoluteCleavage: Her robe leaves the front of her body exposed, though the way she's kneeling hides her chest.

* NiceHat: Cerah wears the same pimped-out fedora as Lucatiel of Mirrah.

* NiceHat: Wears the same small blue beret as Magerold.

* PoisonousPerson: As with many enemies in Shulva, they can poison the player and are often found around acid-filled cocoons.

* EliteMook: Well above normal hollows; they are strong and well-disciplined.

* KnifeNut: They have long since fell into corruption and they use their sinister daggers both to stab you and to cast spells.

* FlunkyBoss: Elana will occasionally summon four mud skeletons which can inflict both bleed and poison buildup to her aid. If you're unlucky enough, instead of skeletons, she might summon a mud version of [[spoiler:''Velstadt, the Royal Aegis himself'']] to fight you. Then there is the rare chance that she'll summon [[http://i.imgur.com/PE1Wdiz.jpg three little pigs]] as something of a BrickJoke.

* FallenHero: Raime was once one of Vendrick's most trusted men, alongside Velstadt. Then he turned against Vendrick, fought and lost against Velstadt, and left in disgrace. Afterwards, [[DefectorFromDecadence even if you believe he was banished unjustly]], he definitely became one when hr came to the Brume Tower, where hr set himself at home, his weapons imbued with the darkness of Nadalia, the Bride of Ash.

* {{Ronin}}: According to related item descriptions, Sir Alonne was a knight from the far east who wandered the lands, until he met the Iron King, when he was little more then a minor lord. Sir Alonne helped the Iron King become one of the most powerful monarchs of the time, and became the King's closest friend. Then, when the Iron King reached the pinnacle of his rule, Sir Alonne left, possibly to seek a new master, though it's just as possible that the player's actions in Memory of the Old Iron King is responsible for his disappearance.

* IAmNotLeftHanded: At the start, he duel-wields, using his greatsword rarely. Once down to half-health or if he sees you wearing a certain armor set, he quits playing around, and starts using his greatsword exclusively... and it will be empowered with both dark and fire, so there is not a single shield in the game that can block 100% of its damage.

** From a lore perspective, he's Velstadt antithesis: whereas the latter swore eternal allegiance to his liege and eventually ended up following him to his grave, Raime forsook and betrayed Vendrick, opting for greater power and leaving in disgrace after a fight with Velstadt. Though who was actually in the right is [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation up for interpretation.]]
