!!Jonis Flakfatter


Added DiffLines:

* TheChessmaster: Jonis is an excellent planner and already has several moves planned ahead of time. [[FatalFlaw However]], he's not so good at [[XanatosSpeedChess rolling with unexpected events]].
* ChildProdigy: He was one when he was younger, to the point of quickly equalling his grandfather Korlo in his studies of alchemy.
* TheDarkChick: In the Twilight Four, he could be considered that, since he's more focused upon subtle planning and alchemy than actual combat.
* DidntSeeThatComing: Jonis' main weakness. For all his meticulous planning, he tends to panic when something unexpected happens.
* FreudianExcuse: The tragedy that started Jonis on a dark path was the death of his beloved grandfather in the fire that destroyed Korlo's shop, combined with the fact that his parents were happy about Korlo's death, having heavily insured the shop and the surrounding businesses.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Jonis started out as an unassuming, if brilliant, young boy from the Eastgate district. Now, he's one of Absalom's most dangerous criminals.
* MasterPoisoner: He's responsible for the creation of a dangerous toxin called Blackfinger's Blight.
* ProperlyParanoid: Because you can't go very far in Norgorber's clergy if you aren't always watching over your shoulders.

->'''Race:''' Human
->'''Alignment:''' LawfulGood

* BigGood: The current Primarch of Absalom, and the person who will most readily support the agents' heroics.
* FrameUp: A victim of such. [[spoiler: Reginald and Olansa frame him up for a murder in order to remove him from power and seize his place.]]
* GuileHero: Knowing he cannot oppose [[spoiler:Reginald and Olansa]] directly, he manages to work out an high-risk-high-reward plan to allow the agents to uncover the truth and stop the Twilight Four.
* OldSoldier: Wynsal was an highly decorated member of Absalom's First Guard before retiring and going into politics.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Wynsal is about 63 years old, but thanks to his healthy lifestyle, he looks quite a bit younger.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: A striking contrast with [[HairTriggerTemper Lavarsus]], Wynsal is calm, rational and reasonably tolerant.

* ChainPain: She wields a spiked chain in battle, and she knows how to use it.

* FatBitch: She's clearly obese, and she is a member of a daemonic cult.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Once a humble butcher and a decent person, the death of her family warped her into a nihilistic murderer who's part of a plan to destabilize Absalom.

Added DiffLines:

* BadassMoustache: Don't let that PornStache fool you. This man is a serious threat.
* BlackSheep: While most Vencaskerkins have made bad calls in their lives, Reginald is the only one thus far who is actually evil.
* TheChessmaster: Reginald is an impressive mastermind, possibly even better than his boss Olansa.
* DragonWithAnAgenda: He's basically Olansa's right-hand man, but he's plotting behind her back, with even Olansa being none the wiser. It is stated that he's very much capable of becoming a DragonAscendant.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Reginald is stated to be still fond of his family, and part of the reason for his plans is to elevate his family to a loftier position.
* HollywoodCyborg: Most of his body has been outfitted with clockwork modifications.
* TheManInFrontOfTheWoman: Reginald was the one who came up with the plan to create the Twilight Four and form a pact with Norgorber. He lets Olansa think she's in charge because he knows this will make her a bigger target.
* ManipulativeBastard: One of his most noticeable assets is his silver tongue - Reginald is capable of outsmaring a freaking ''kraken''!
* TheStarscream: Unless stopped, he will betray Olansa and take her place as the BigBad of the campaign.
* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: Reginald was captured by a powerful kraken while travelling to Absalom and kept as a privileged slave. But Reginald proved to be tougher than the kraken thought, and through his devotion to Norgorber, became powerful enough to turn the tables on his captor.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Nobody in Absalom suspects that the founder of their most popular tabloid is secretly a worshipper of Norgorber with a body mostly made of clockwork plates.

* LooselyBasedOnATrueStory: He was inspired by real life serial killer H.H. Holmes. To a lesser extent, his obsession with twins is lifted from Nazi scientist Josef Mengele.


Added DiffLines:

*ShoutOut: To Creator/TerryPratchett, whose Night Watch novels were a significant inspiration for the adventure path. The title of the first book in the adventure path is a clear reference to Erik Larson's book about H.H. Holmes and the 1893 World's Fair, ''The Devil in the White City''.

* OlderThanTheyLook: She's 50 years old, and looks 30 at most. Her [[DealWithTheDevil pact with Norgorber]] might have something to do with it.
* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler: Turns into a drider-like monstrosity in the final battle.]]
* SanitySlippage: [[spoiler: As the agents engage her in the final confrontation, a combination of the ArtifactOfDoom she's using and being DrunkWithPower for her divine investiture has completely unhinged Olansa.]]
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Has long silver-ish hair and a soul as black as soot.
* YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler: She kills her three co-conspirators before the final adventure, bringing them back as daemonic horrors.]] And ironically, [[spoiler: she gets on the receiving side of it when she is defeated and Norgorber takes her soul]].
