* ForTheEvulz - the reason why Scar of Tristan is a ShellshockedVeteran (and probably how he got his name) is because Scythe brutally murdered his entire band of bandits when they tried to rob her. Why did they do such a stupid thing? Because she was disguised as a rich noblewoman at the time. Why was Scythe doing that? because she ''wanted to kill them just ForTheEvulz.''

* HugeGuyTinyGirl - [[LargeAndInCharge Goldark]] and [[MoralityChain Lyria]], whenever they appear in cutscenes together.













to:

* {{Bishonen}} - Very much.



* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic
* MoralityChain - To Goldark, together with Lyria. He's the more vocal of the pair, but Lyria has more effect.







* BeardOfEvil
* TheDragon - To Goldark. [[spoiler: Actually to Madruk]].

to:

\n* BeardOfEvil
BeardOfEvil - Sports a magnificent one, in case the sinister cowl, wierd skin tone, and [[PowerEchoes reverberating voice]] (only in the PS2 remake though) weren't obvious enough.
* DarkIsEvil - Is perpetually shrouded in shadows beneath his cowl, leaving only his face and hands exposed. What we see of his skin reveals a dark, indigo-ish complexion.
* TheDragon - To Goldark. [[spoiler: Actually to Madruk]].Madruk.]]
* DragonWithAnAgenda - [[spoiler: Gaul and Scythe to Goldark. Played with in that they're only pretending to be his dragons, while they're actually (loyal) dragons to Madruk.]]
* EvilChancellor - [[spoiler: To Goldark]]. So very much. [[spoiler: Scythe]], his counterpart, doesn't quite give off the same vibe, and comes across as much less sophisticated.
* EvilGenius



* EvilSoundsDeep - Only in the PS2 remake, though.




to:

* [[spoiler: TheManBehindTheMan - While he seems like just another evil sorceror at first, in Goldark's campaign, it's revealed that he's using Madruk's power to bankroll Fandaria, in an attempt to tempt Goldark over to Madruk's side. When Goldark betrays him by refusing to execute the other members of the Dragon Force, Gaul (with Scythe) deserts, showing his true colours.]]
* TheMasquerade - [[spoiler: Gaul and Scythe, two of the three Apostles of Darkness, as Goldark's generals.]]
* ObviouslyEvil - In case you didn't get it by now.
* PowerEchoes - His voice in the PS2 remake. Deliciously so.
* PowerFloats - His sprite.






* DragonWithAnAgenda - [[spoiler: Gaul and Scythe to Goldark. Played with in that they're only pretending to be his dragons, while they're actually (loyal) dragons to Madruk.]]



* SummonMagic - Her first spell is Summon Golem

* MyMasterRightOrWrong

to:

\n* MyMasterRightOrWrongHolyHandGrenade - Holy Blast, her ultimate spell.
* MoralityChain - A major one for Goldark. [[spoiler: In his campaign, he goes so far as to give her instructions to ''stab him in the heart'' if he becomes HeWhoFightsMonsters.]]
* MyMasterRightOrWrong - A waify nun, very devoted to her monarch, the "Mad Lion" Goldark.
* [[SquishyWizard Squishy Priest]]
* TerseTalker - In combat, at least.

* BadassBeard
* BadassGrandpa - Subverted (the ''grandpa'' part, that is, not the badass). Despite looking like an old man, Goldark is in his late forties/early fifties.
* BeardOfEvil - [[spoiler: Goldark seems like a typical case at first, what with the [[TakeOverTheWorld conquering overlord vibes]] and all, but it's subverted at the end when he reveals his true intentions.]]

* DualWielding - Carries two huge swords.

to:

* [[spoiler: AntiHero]]
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority - Became emperor of Fandaria after murdering his brother Gyzzdark.
* TheAtoner - Near the end. Then subverted when it's [[TheReveal revealed]] that [[spoiler: he was a WellIntentionedExtremist from the start.]]
* AwesomeMomentOfCrowning - Goldark's ''intro'' [[spoiler: where he escapes from prison and kills his corrupt brother so he can realize his plan to unite the continent.]]
* {{Badass}} - His ''intro'' alone! [[spoiler: upon finding out Gyzzdark's plans, Goldark quickly asks Lyria (a waify nun who, by the way, is one of his inner circle of generals) to hand him a sword. She somehow manages to heft one of the BFS's over to him (a badass feat in it's own right, considering her build). [[CrazyAwesome Goldark then somehow cuts himself free,]] ''even when both his hands are shackled'', [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill picks up the second BFS, and brutally murders his own brother]] ''before he can cry for help or fight back.'' Oh, and Goldark's been shackled like that for goodness knows how long, yet he pulls off the entire stunt smoothly and flawlessly!]]
* {{BFS}} - ''Two'' ''[[DualWielding Two]]'' of them.
* BadassGrandpa - Subverted (the ''gradpa'' ''grandpa'' part, that's it, not the badass). Despite looking like an old man, Goldark is in his late forties/early fifties.
* BeardOfEvil - [[spoiler: Goldark seems like a typical case at first, what with the [[TakeOverTheWorld conquering overlord vibes]] and all, but it's subverted at the end when he reveals his true intentions.]]
* CainAndAbel - Goldark and Gyzzdark. [[spoiler: Just not in the way the game would have you believe: Goldark is actually the Abel, and the extent to which Gyzzdark is the Cain is debatable, given Gaul and Scythe's manipulations.]]
* DealWithTheDevil - [[spoiler: Makes one with Gaul & Scythe, but ultimately plays them for fools.]]
* {{Determinator}} - In several campaigns, CPU-Goldark evades capture the first time, and returns about a month later with a *huge* army to attempt his conquest of Legendra anew. He marches unflinchingly toward your monarch, and ''none'' of your troops will dare to stand in his way. It's played for drama, but falls apart once the battle starts and Goldark only has his usual 100 Cavalry troops (and a couple more levels to match your monarch's).
* DiscOneFinalBoss - Yes. [[spoiler: If you play as Goldark, he faces [[KnightInShiningArmor Wein]], who comes out of hiding to challenge Goldark one last time when he threatens to execute all the other monarchs if Wein doesn't surrender himself.]]
* DualWielding - Carries two [[{{BFS}} huge swords.swords]].
* DuelBoss - Likes to invoke this when faced by the player, leading to a [[spoiler: HopelessBossFight.]]



* AvengingTheVillain - Talon, Gyzzdark's son, begins Goldark's campaign seeking to avenge his dead father. He gets better after being [[DefeatEqualsFriendship defeated]], and ends up as one of Goldark's more loyal generals.
