History Characters / PathfinderAdventurePathRiseOfTheRunelords

* ActionGirl: Not in ''Rise of the Runelords'', where she's just a DistressedDamsel despite her [[FauxActionGirl history]]. She gets to shine in ''Jade Regent''. In the IOS game, she's one of the two characters you start off with so she's this trope by default.

* DistressedDamsel: After getting captured by her half-brother Tsuto.

* {{Bishounen}}: His appearance in life.

* ImpossiblyCoolWeapon: An adamantine [[FlamingSword flaming]] [[BladeOnAStick ranseur]], befitting of an Alaznist loyalist.

%%* BareYourMidriff

* BareYourMidriff: Her otherwise quite protective-looking armor has a wide gap stretching from just below her breasts to just above her crotch, in order to show off the grisly scars on her belly.

[[Characters/{{Pathfinder}} Back to the main characters page]].

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: She was put on a pedestal by her neighbors, restricted in her activities by her adoptive father, knocked up by her BastardBoyfriend who then [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere left her]], [[IHaveNoSon disowned by her father]], and gave still birth to a deformed monster thanks to being in an area desecrated by [[MonsterProgenitor Lamashtu]] at the time. [[AlasPoorVillain No wonder she went crazy.]]

* NoSocialSkills: The flavor text outright says that Atroxis has little in the way of social graces

* AintTooProudToBeg: If reduced to five hitpoints, he'll drop to his knees and beg for his life.

* DirtyCoward: If he's clearly outmatched, he has zero qualms against [[AintTooProudToBeg begging for his life]] and spilling the beans to the [=PCs=]

%%* DistressedDamsel

%%* TheBrute

%%* ActionGirl

%%* TheDragon: To Nualia.%%ZCE

* TheCorruptable: Though Lucrecia started out controlling him with magic, he's eventually become loyal to her even without it.

%%* KnifeNut

* ArcVillain: She's the main instigator of the plot of ''The Skinsaw Murders'', and the final boss of that book.

->'''Alignment:''' NeutralEvil

* MulticoloredHair: Her bangs are dyed white.

* EnemyMine: If freed from Xanesha's charm spell he's instantly willing to cooperate with the PCs, though with the condition that he have twelve hours to leave Magnimar forever.

* OrcusOnHisThrone: For the most part he just sits around on the Dread King's throne, giving orders and letting Lucrecia figure out the details of the plan to drown Turtleback Ferry. He doesn't even get off of it to fight the PCs until his remaining bodyguard and Lucrecia are defeated.

* DiscOneFinalBoss: He serves, directly or indirectly, as the main antagonist for the first two thirds of the adventure path, but is killed at the end of book four. Unlike most of the boss fights, which can end with the villain fleeing and becoming a more dangerous foe later on, there is no scenario where the PCs progress past this part of the AP without his death.

* YouHaveFailedMe: When he tries to flee after his boss fight, Karzoug pulls a VillainOverride to give a monologue through him to the PCs, and then kills him.

* {{Adorkable}}: He's very enthusiastic about architecture, and it's one of the few things that can get him excited.

* TheSouthPaw: Art depicts him as wielding his [[{{BFS}} bastard sword]] in his left hand.

Nualia Tobyn was a aasimar foundling raised by Ezakien Tobyn, the head pastor for the Varisian town of Sandpoint. She was recently found to have planned and executed a raid on the town by local goblin tribes. Although these attacks failed, she was eventually tracked down to the island-fortress of Thistletop, where she met her death.

* FreudianExcuse: Her hatred of the angelic and of Sandpoint stem chiefly from being treated as an object of superstitious awe by Sandpoint locals and by an adoptive father who saw her more as a prestigious status symbol to be groomed for a life of chastity than as a daughter. She eventually snapped under the pressure to live up to an idealized angelic heritage and being constantly objectified by her community, leading to her eventual fall to evil.

* StarterVillain: She and her Goblins are this for the campaign as a whole.

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Put on a pedestal by her neighbors, restricted in her activities by her adoptive father, knocked up by her BastardBoyfriend who then [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere left her]], [[IHaveNoSon disowned by her father,]] and gave still birth to a deformed monster thanks to being in an area desecrated by [[MonsterProgenitor Lamashtu]] at the time. [[AlasPoorVillain No wonder she went crazy.]]

* BigBad: Of ''Rise of the Runelords''.

%%* EvilOverlord

* BigBad: Of Rise of the Runelords.

* ShoutOut: [[WordOfGod James Jacobs]] confirmed that her adoptive father Ezakien, and by extension herself, are named after Tobin Bell, the actor who plays Jigsaw in the ''Franchise/{{Saw}}'' movies.
