History Characters / LordsOfTheFallen

* DropTheHammer: His starting weapon of choice. [[spoiler: He also wields one in the sequel.]]

* KnightTemplar: Antanas is... pretty adamant about criminal activity, and how it is intolerable. [[spoiler:We have no idea just how bad he is until later, though.]]

* CrystalDragonJesus: Err, Crystal Dragon {{Satan}}. And/or [[{{God}} YHWH]], depending. Humans' current opinion of him is the former, but his role pre-banishment seems to have been more in line with the latter. As we never hear of other gods, his religion was presumably monotheistic.

* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen / TheVoice: [[spoiler: That's all we ever get of him.]]

* SatanicArchetype: Rules the demonic Rhogar [[spoiler:and offers Harkyn a loaded bargain. May be a case of SatanIsGood (or just not as much of an asshole as we thought.]]

* UnreliableNarrator: Provides a lot of exposition when we finally meet him about the state of the world, along with his, Harkyn's and [[spoiler:Antanas']] role therein. A lot of what he says is provably true, but a lot we have to take his word on. Since he paints himself and his rule as the best thing for humanity... grains of salt should be taken.

* OrcusOnHisThrone: In the end [[spoiler: [[NonActionBigBad he never gets off]].]]

* TheUnfought: [[spoiler:No, you do ''not'' get to KillTheGod.]]

* NoodleIncident: No one will ever let him forget that he's a criminal, but no one ever actually mentions the nature of his crimes.
** It is implied that the brands on Harkyn's face represent his crimes. One brand for each type of crime. This implies he's done dozens of criminal actions, given the number of marks on his face, so rather than asking what he's done, asking what he ''hasn't'' done might be a better question.

[[folder:Harkyn]]

* SimpleStaff: Fitting for a monk. You can find one just like it early in the game.

%%* BaldOfAwesome

[[foldercontrol]]

* BadassBeard: A goatee.
* BaldOfAwesome

* NotSoDifferent: [[spoiler:''Really'' doesn't stack up well against the tales recorded about Adyr. Both are [[ItsAllAboutMe tyrannical]] [[WellIntentionedExtremist extremists]] who [[NoKillLikeOverkill don't react well to insubordination]].]]

* TheHeavy: [[folder:Antanas' actions are what provoked Adyr and the Rhogar army to make a bid for power.]]
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: [[spoiler: Goes crazy near the end and turns himself into The Judge.]]

!!Harkyn

* [[MysteriousPast Mysterious]] MultipleChoicePast: Harkyn's character class (determined by the player) is the only clue we get about his actions before the game. Some are, admittedly, criminal by nature (e.g. Raider) but one has to wonder what Harkyn the Cleric did to get himself imprisoned.

!!Kaslo

* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler: He is the true heir of the Judges and he's not as loyal to Antanas as he claims. He presumably realizes that Antanas has gone well and truly cuckoo, he turns neutral.]]

!!Antanas

* [[spoiler: TheHeavy: Antanas' actions are what provoked Adyr and the Rhogar army to make a bid for power.]]

* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:Occurs off-screen. He does not take Adyr's survival well, nor (possibly) the realization that Kaslo isn't 110% blindly devoted to his cause.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Let's just say that most of the plot wouldn't have happened without him and leave it at that.

!!Adyr

* UnreliableNarrator: Provides a lot of exposition when we finally meet him about the state of the world, along with his, Harkyn's and [[spoiler:Antanas']] role therein. A lot of what he says is provably true, but a lot we have to take his word on. Since he paints himself and his rule as the best thing for humanity... grains of salt should be taken.

* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]

* [[spoiler: BodyHorror: The Judge.]]

* [[spoiler: EvilutionaryBiologist: Has been experimenting on hapless humans long before the game opens. The more combat-specific samples just got released.]]

* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: [[spoiler: Goes crazy near the end and [[VideoGames/{{Bioshock}} splices himself up]] to become The Judge.]]
* KnightTemplar: Antanas is... pretty adamant about criminal activity, and how it is intolerable. [[spoiler: We have no idea just how bad he is until later, though.]]
* LikeAGodToMe: Most humans believe that Antanas is their Savior. [[spoiler: Most of these people either cross the DespairEventHorizon after his FreakOut, or else plunge into MyMasterRightOrWrong territory.]]
* [[spoiler: ObliviouslyEvil: Believes that imprisoning criminals and "exorcising" demons out of people are both good and necessary. They're not.]]
* NotSoDifferent: [[spoiler: ''Really'' doesn't stack up well against the tales recorded about Adyr. Both are [[ItsAllAboutMe tyrannical]] [[WellIntentionedExtremist extremists]] who [[NoKillLikeOverkill don't react well to insubordination]].]]
* [[spoiler: OneWingedAngel: The Judge.]]
* [[spoiler: PlayingWithSyringes]]
* [[spoiler: VillainousBreakdown: Occurs off-screen. He does not take Adyr's survival well, nor (possibly) the realization that Kaslo isn't 110% blindly devoted to his cause.]]

* SatanicArchetype: Rules the demonic Rhogar [[spoiler: and offers Harkyn a loaded bargain. May be a case of SatanIsGood (or just not as much of an asshole as we thought.]]
* [[spoiler: TheUnfought: No, you do ''not'' get to KillTheGod.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist:[[spoiler: He is ''horrified'' by Antanas' treatment of humans and failure to comprehend what the Rhogar actually are. Re-conquering the human world was his way of fixing that.]]
* UnreliableNarrator: Provides a lot of exposition when we finally meet him about the state of the world, along with his, Harkyn's and [[spoiler: Antanas']] role therein. A lot of what he says is provably true, but a lot we have to take his word on. Since he paints himself and his rule as the best thing for humanity... grains of salt should be taken.

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: [[spoiler: Unlike 99.9% of JerkassGods, he's learned his lesson about dealing with PunyHumans, and instead tries [[EnemyMine something new]].]]

* JerkassHasAPoint: [[spoiler: Antanas' actions - both the [[PlayingWithSyringes mutations]] and [[HollywoodExorcism exorcisms]] are very bad things that will end up only harming mankind's future, and given Antanas' [[CrystalDragonJesus reputation]], they were unlikely to stop. Whether the Rhogar Invasion was an [[TheExtremistWasRight appropriate response]] or [[MoralEventHorizon not]] is another matter.]]

* CrystalDragonJesus: Err, Crystal Dragon {{Satan}}. And/or [[{{God}} YHWH]], depending. Humans' current opinion of him is the former, but his role pre-banishment seems to have been the former. We never hear of humans worshiping other gods, so he doesn't seem to be a part of a FantasyPantheon either.

* NeverWorksTwice: [[spoiler: He thought the Judges were just uppity mortals until they kicked his ass. He's not trying that again when a ''new'' uppity mortal comes a-knockin'.]]

* {{Jerkass}}: A JerkWithAHeartOfGold, or a JerkWithAHeartOfJerk, depending on in-game decisions. (None of these can actually make him [[VillainProtagonist outright evil]].

* WalkingSpoiler: Has had a hand in a large part of the game.

* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: [[spoiler: Goes crazy near the end and [[VideoGames/{{Bioshock}} splices himself up]] to become The Judge]].]]
