Coming from a tribe where women were expected to StayInTheKitchen, she proved herself the exception by being the tribe's best warrior. This eventually led to her exile, and she walked the lands of Avistan until joining an expedition into the Stolen Lands.

* {{BFS}}: So big, she has to make a big effort to raise it. It's a bastard sword made for a ''frost giant.''

Once a candidate to become a cleric of Torag, his inability to make anything with his own hands made him turn to the worship of Groetus.

* BadassPreacher: He's a cleric of Groetus.

* TheEeyore: Half his sentences are about the inevitability of death.

* RuggedScar
* StrawNihilist: Downplayed and justified, since his faith all but requires him to be one of these.

* AscendedExtra: In the module, he made an appearance as part of one sidequest and could eventually join the Kingdom as an advisor. Here, he can become part of the expedition and join it in its adventures.

* SmallNameBigEgo: He cannot conceive the idea that anyone in Avistan that calls himself educated may not have heard of him.

A former alumni of Pitax's Academy of Grand Arts, this cheerful gnome decides to join an expedition into the Stolen Lands to find inspiration for her new book - which will feature the feats of its leader.

A slave of the Technic League, this woman seeks a way to free herself until the opportunity appears in the form of an expedition to turn the Stolen Lands into a new Kingdom.

A slave of the Technic League, this man seeks a way to free himself until the opportunity appears in the form of an expedition to turn the Stolen Lands into a new Kingdom.

* BadassPreacher: Zigzagged. He's a cleric of Sarenrae and he's willing to fight when he has to, but he's not very good at it due to his low physical stats and archetype restrictions.

This young woman was once a Paladin of Shelyn, until an incident led her to abandoning the Order and becoming a mercenary. She serves the Swordlords in this role until she joins an expedition to the Stolen Lands, aiding in its transformation into a new Kingdom.

* BoyishShortHair: It used to be longer but she was so sick of hearing compliments about it that she cut it. This just led to compliments about her eyes, much to her frustration.
* DisproportionateRetribution: She was so fed up with an AbhorrentAdmirer's horrible poem (which he had insisted in reading aloud in front of her) that she took it and ripped it in pieces. Had she not left, [[SeriousBusiness she would have been judged for blasphemy]].

* SturgeonsLaw: Invoked in-universe. The biggest friction point between her and her Order was that while her order appreciated all art and expected her to do the same, she believed almost all of it was terrible and not worth her time or protection.

'''Class:''' Cleric of Groetus

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: His inability to smith led to him being a pariah among his kind.

* DeathSeeker: Not just of himself, but of everything. Notably, part of the tutorial involves convincing him he's not dying from a relatively minor wound. He's disappointed by this.

* TheKlutz: The main reason he failed at blacksmithing.

* BadassPreacher: Zigzagged. He's a cleric of Sarenrae and he's willing to fight when he has to, but he's not very good at it due to his low physical stats and archetype restrictions.

[[folder:The Stag Lord]]

!!The Stag Lord
->'''Race:''' Human
->'''Class:''' Ranger/rogue
->'''Alignment:''' ChaoticEvil

Chief of the bandits of the Green Belt, the Stag Lord is a bitter, self-loathing alcoholic man shaped by years of abuse at the hands of his brutal father. Clad at all times in his fanged stag skull helmet, he aims to take over the Stolen Lands and become a king. Only then, he believes, will the "goddess" who saved him from his father return to his side.
----
* AbusiveDad: His father made it his life's goal to destroy his son in every meaningful way, emotionally, mentally, and physically.
* TheAlcoholic: Has slipped more and more into alcoholism as the years have gone by, and is slowly losing what remains of his mind.
* ArcherArchetype: He's got the icy, analytical loner part down, though his alcoholism and terrible rages depart from the trope in some ways.
* BowAndSwordInAccord: Carries both a composite longbow and a masterwork longsword. He prefers the former, but will draw his blade if cornered.
* CoolHelmet: Made from the skull of an elk, and decorated with fangs, it is as strong as steel, and enhances his sight, hearing, and archery.
* CoolMask: Before he gained his helmet, he wore a leather mask.
* CoveredWithScars: The result of his father's abuse. His face in particular is so damaged that he won't reveal it to anyone.
* TheDogBitesBack: After years of abuse, he finally snapped and beat his father half to death, then threw him in a cage.
* ElderAbuse: Does it to his father, in revenge for everything that happened to him as a child.
* EvilIsPetty: A petty sadist with delusions of grandeur.
* TheFamilyThatSlaysTogether: He and his father are both twisted, abusive monsters.
* FreudianExcuse: Good Lord, where to start? His absolute ''bastard'' of a father abused and tortured him for years, burning his face with acid, abandoning him in the winter, beating him near to death, and otherwise taking out all his rage on him. Then he became the pawn of an evil nature spirit, who drove him to take his revenge on his father, before leaving him an alcoholic ruin.
* KingOfThieves: He's the undisputed overlord of the Green Belt, serving as both the chieftain of its notorious bandit gangs and the closest thing the Stolen Lands have to a political head.
* TheLeader: Of the Green Belt outlaws, ruling through fear.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: His deluded love for Nyrissa is what drives his need to control the Stolen Lands.
* TheMentallyDisturbed: A self-loathing alcoholic whose grip on sanity is slipping away with every drink and every passing day.
* MisanthropeSupreme: Hates everybody and everything, including himself, and is only too glad to use this as an excuse for murder.
* TheNameless: His father never gave him a name. He was "the boy" and then "the man" before donning his helmet and becoming the Stag Lord.
* {{Outlaw}}: In the classic sense of the term. There's a bounty on his head and the heads of every man in his band, and there's no community that will lend them shelter.
* {{Patricide}}: Averted. The Stag Lord decided not to murder his father, because his father had let him live. He now keeps his father as a prisoner.
* PuppetKing: Zigzagged. Some of the bandits in the camp, misreading the relationship between Nugrah and the Stag Lord, believe that the former is somehow controlling the latter. He's not. However, the Stag Lord ''is'', to a large degree, influenced and dominated by Nyrissa--though she's hands off enough that the majority of his immediate decisions are his own.
* {{Revenge}}: The Stag Lord's abuse of his father, Nugrah, is revenge for his father's abuse of him. In a larger sense, he's also out for revenge on the world that allowed this to happen to him.
* {{Sadist}}: Revels in hurting people.
* SanitySlippage: The Stag Lord's grip on reality is slipping to the bottom of his whiskey cask, a fact that even some of his thugs are starting to notice.
* SkeletonsInTheCoatCloset: Wears a suit of animal hide and bones in addition to his elk skull helmet.
* StarterVillain: He's the main antagonist of "Stolen Lands", the first adventure in the adventure path, and serves as a taste of what is to come.
* UnwittingPawn: Of Nyrissa, who is using him for her own ends.
* YouAreWhatYouHate: The Stag Lord has become his father in more ways than one.

[[folder:Akiros]]
!!Akiros Ismort
->'''Race:''' Human
->'''Class:''' Ex-paladin/barbarian
->'''Alignment:''' ChaoticNeutral

A former Paladin of Erastil, Akiros' life collapsed when his lover's husband discovered their affair. Desperate to avoid a divorce, she told her husband that Akiros had raped her; when the two confronted Akiros at the temple of Erastil, the young paladin flew into a rage and killed them both. He's since been on the run, living as a bandit, and joining up with any group that will take him. At the start of ''Kingmaker'' he is acting as the second-in-command of The Stag Lords' band, a position and life that he is becoming increasingly dissatisfied with.
----
* AccidentalMurder: Akiros didn't intend to kill his lover, but when she accused him of raping her, he snapped and struck her, killing her instantly.
* TheBerserker: Akiros rages the moment he enters combat, throwing himself at the players, The Stag Lord, or anybody else he might be fighting.
* BowAndSwordInAccord: Like his boss, The Stag Lord, he carries both a longsword and a bow and arrow. This would actually be fairly standard equipment for a Paladin, or ex-Paladin, of Erastil, who favours the bow as his WeaponOfChoice, but also expects his Paladins to be able to fight up close.
* CrimeAfterCrime: Killed his lover by accident when he hit her, then had to deliberately kill her husband to cover it up, then wound up hiding out as a bandit in order to get away from the police, etc, etc.
* DeathSeeker: In combat Akiros takes no care to protect himself, looking to die.
* TheDragon: To The Stag Lord, though he doesn't especially want the job. Given the Stag Lord's alcoholism and lack of interest in actually running the band, he could graduate to DragonInChief if he wanted to, but would much rather find a way out of the life he's stumbled into.
* FallenHero: Was once a promising Paladin of Erastil, and defender of his hometown.
* FalseRapeAccusation: Was on the receiving end of one from his lover.
* HeelFaceTurn: By the time the players raid the bandit camp, Akiros has had enough of the life of an outlaw. Given the opportunity he switches sides and fights alongside them against The Stag Lord.
* MurderMakesYouCrazy: Killing his lover, and then her husband in order to hide the evidence, pushed Akiros over the edge.
* NobleTopEnforcer: The Stag Lord is an alcoholic monster who'll murder anyone he can get his hands on. Auchs, Dovan, and Nugrah are all just as twisted. Among the leadership of the bandits this makes Akiros, who is Neutral rather than Evil, and still possesses something of a conscience, a definite oddity.
* {{Outlaw}}: Akiros has lost any connection he might have had to civilization and is a deadman walking if he returns to his home community. That said, unlike the Stag Lord and the rest of the band, he has an actual chance to escape this status and earn redemption.
* RedemptionEarnsLife: It can if he joins forces with the players and then survives the final confrontation with the Stag Lord.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Auchs]]
!!Auchs
->'''Race:''' Human
->'''Class:''' Fighter
->'''Alignment:''' ChaoticEvil

Brutish and stupid, simple-minded Auchs combines the petty cruelty of a child with the physical bulk of a grown man. A hulking thug who likes making smaller people scream, Auchs is The Stag Lord's muscle, and can usually be found trailing after Dovan.
----
* BerserkButton: Anybody touching his collection of knight and dragon toys.
* BrainsAndBrawn: The brawn to Dovan's brains.
* TheBrute: Fills this role in The Stag Lord's band.
* TheBully: Has the temperament of a school-yard thug.
* CarryABigStick: The only weapon Auchs is smart enough to use is a club.
* DumbMuscle: Auchs has the mind of a mean-spirited five year old, but the bulk of a weight-lifter.
* HeelFaceTurn: Sort-of. If Auchs is bested in combat but spared, he immediately becomes the loyal follower of the person who spared his life. His morality, however, doesn't change, and this, coupled with his limited intellect, could be a serious issue further on down the line.
* {{Outlaw}}: There's a price on Auchs' head, same as there is for the Stag Lord and Dovan.
* PsychopathicManchild: A classic example who does whatever his "friends" tell him to do, enjoys hurting anybody weaker than him, and flies into a rage if his collection of toys is touched.
* {{Sadist}}: Of the petty variety.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Dovan, fighting to the death if the latter is in view.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Dovan]]
!!Dovan from Nisroch
->'''Race:''' Human
->'''Class:''' Rogue
->'''Alignment:''' NeutralEvil

Despite his name, Dovan isn't actually from Nisroch. Born in an Ustalavi whorehouse, Dovan ran away from home after discovering that he was going to be raped and tortured at request of a client. Cutting a swathe of murder and thievery across the continent, Dovan eventually wound up in The Stolen Lands, where he joined forces with The Stag Lord, becoming the ''de facto'' leader of the band prior to Akiros' arrival.
----
* BareYourMidriff: In the illustrations.
* BrainsAndBrawn: With Auchs, whom he "saved" from a brawl (that Dovan had engineered in the first place). Dovan comes up with the schemes, while Auchs bashes anybody who proves to be a problem.
* DirtyCoward: Dovan would rather run than fight. If cornered though, he fights to the death, which given what happened to him last time someone had power over him, makes sense.
* EvilGenius: Serves as the organizing mind of the band, partly because he's well-suited to it, and partly because no one else in the leadership is interested in doing it.
* FreudianExcuse: Grew up in a depraved Ustalav whorehouse that catered to sexual sadists.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm[=/=]ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Dovan is a pragmatist and has no particular desire to be killed in The Stag Lord's service. If he's reduced to less than four HP and there's a clear way out, he takes it.
* {{Outlaw}}: Dovan's been left with no place to go after his status as a serial killer was exposed.
* RapeAsBackstory: Maybe. We know that he was going to be raped and killed as part of a nobleman's entertainment; we don't know if he was ever raped beforehand.
* {{Sadist}}: Perhaps the most sadistic member of the band, with a penchant for torture.
* SerialKiller: Enjoys targeting blondes for kidnapping, torture, and murder.
* SonOfAWhore: Was born in a particularly depraved whorehouse.
* TortureTechnician: Is in charge of torturing those the band captures and has a particular fondness for it.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Nugrah]]
!!Nugrah the Decrepit
->'''Race:''' Human
->'''Class:''' Druid
->'''Alignment:''' NeutralEvil

The father of The Stag Lord, and the one responsible for making him what he is, Nugrah was a druid of the Green Faith, before he turned to necromancy to try and resurrect his wife by sacrificing the life of another woman. Driven from the order, Nugrah turned to the worship of Gozreh, and became a violent, sadistic misanthrope who took out all his anger on the son whose birth slew his wife.
----
* AbusiveDad: To a staggering degree. He beat, burned, scarred, and tried to murder his son.
* BadassGrandpa: He's an old, physically impaired man, but after his son (CR 6) he's the most deadly foe the [=PC=]s will encounter in the bandit camp at CR 4.
* TheDarkChick: Definitely the odd one out among the named members of the Stag Lord's band.
* DeathSeeker: Nugrah wants to die but lacks the will to take his own life. Instead he tries to force the players to end his misery.
* TheDreaded: Among The Stag Lord's bandits. All of them are terrified of him, and go out of their way to avoid him, even refusing his healing if they are injured.
* ElderAbuse: On the receiving end of it from his son, who physically abuses him and keeps him locked in a basement.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Nugrah's love for his late wife is what underwrites all of his evil.
* EvilCripple: Constant beatings from his son have left Nugrah impaired even by the standards of a man of his age.
* EvilOldFolks: Now an old, crippled man, but just as vile as before.
* EvilSorcerer: Evil Druid anyway, which thematically plays out about the same.
* TheFamilyThatSlaysTogether: He and his son are both twisted, abusive monsters.
* HandicappedBadass: As stated above, Nugrah is old and physically impaired, but after the Stag Lord himself is the most dangerous member of the bandit gang.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: His love for his wife transformed him into the monster he became, and ruined his son's life in the process.
* TheMedic: Forced to act as one for the bandits, though most would just as soon die of infection as interact with him.
* {{Necromantic}}: Nugrah sacrificed a woman to try and resurrect his wife, damning himself and their son in the process.
* OffingTheOffspring: Tried to kill his son several times.
* {{Outlaw}}: Nugrah's misanthropy and cruelty saw him driven from civilized communities and into the wild by the time his son could walk. Now he's an unwilling member of his son's band of thieves and murderers.
* PayEvilUntoEvil: He was on the receiving end of this from his son, who has payed him back for every blow.
* {{Sadist}}: His increasingly inventive tortures of his son nicely demonstrate this.
* ShadowDictator: Invoked but averted. A number of the Stag Lord's men, misreading the nature of the bizarre relationship between the two, believe Nugrah is in some way controlling his son while pretending to be a victim.
* ShapeShifter: Turns into a wolverine during combat.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Chief Sootscale]]
!!Chief Sootscale
->'''Race:''' Kobold
->'''Class:''' Rogue
->'''Alignment:''' LawfulEvil

The worried chieftain of the Sootscale kobolds who bear his name, Chief Sootscale has seen most of his power lost to the treacherous shaman, Tartuk. If the players help him kill Tartuk and remove the shaman's negative influence from the tribe, Sootscale becomes a reliable, if unusual ally, willing to assist the players in constructing their kingdom.
----
* CombatPragmatist: As a kobold and a rogue both, Sootscale does not understand the meaning of a fair fight. This applies to his army as well; when they show up to aid the players during the war against Pitax, the tactic they know is "Dirty Tricks".
* GondorCallsForAid: If the players help Sootscale get rid of Tartuk, the kobold chieftain does not forget it and, during Pitax's invasion in "War of the River Kings", shows up at the head of a Gargantuan army of kobolds, recruited from his own tribe and those of his allies.
* IOweYouMyLife: Tartuk would have destroyed the tribe and Sootscale with it. This is why the chief is so willing to pay the players back for saving he and his people.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Sootscale and his kobolds are of Lawful Evil alignment yet, despite this, can become dependable allies for the players.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Hargulka]]
!!Hargulka
->'''Race:''' Troll
->'''Class:''' Fighter
->'''Alignment:''' ChaoticEvil

A brutish troll warlord, Hargulka has been promised control of the Stolen Lands by Nyrissa. His trolls serve as the penultimate challenge of "Rivers Run Red", with the protagonists besting them just before the owlbear attack.
----
* TheBrute: While he considers himself a BigBad in his own right, in Nyrissa's plans he's nothing more than this.
* CarryABigStick: Armed with a darkwood morningstar.
* DumbMuscle: Hargulka is hardly what you'd call smart.
* EvilIsPetty: Like the Stag Lord, Hargulka's ambitions don't extend far beyond being ruler of a postage stamp kingdom.
* PlayingWithFire: His necklace of fireballs allows him to target anyone who hangs back.
* UnwittingPawn: Like the Stag Lord before him, Hargulka is little more than a victim of Nyrissa's manipulations.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Sepoko]]
!!Sepoko
->'''Race:''' Boggard
->'''Class:''' Cleric of Gogunta
->'''Alignment:''' ChaoticEvil

The deeply troubled priest-king of the M'botuu boggards, Sepoko despairs of preventing human settlers from intruding on his tribe's territory. Having failed to rouse the other boggards against the intruders, Sepoko approached a spirit naga for help, only to fall under her control, and lose much of his faith in patroness, the demon lord Gogunta. While initially an enemy, if the players can break the spell and kill the naga, Ngara, Sepoko is willing to enter into an alliance with them.
----
* ChurchMilitant: As the leader of the local cult of Gogunta, Sepoko is expected to act as the tribe's spiritual and military leader, alongside any other clerics the tribe has to offer.
* CowardlyLion: Sepoko is described as somewhat cowardly and would rather not fight the players. If forced into battle, however, he's still a CR 11 threat (just three levels below the ArcVillain Armag the Twice-Born), and a capable warrior so long as his faith in Gogunta holds.
* EliteMooks: Sepoko is protected by his boggard wardens, elite warriors who act as bodyguards and tribal deputies. During "War of the River Kings" he and his tribe can act as Elite Mooks for the players, providing the best trained of all the armies they can recruit.
* EnemyMine: If the players break the spell that Ngara has on him, Sepoko hires them to kill the spirit naga. In exchange he pays them with a chest of Taldan gold coins and promises to keep his boggards from meddling with river trade.
* GondorCallsForAid: Surprisingly, yes. If the players ally with Sepoko in "Blood for Blood", the boggard chieftain not only holds to his promise to protect the rivers but, during "War of the River Kings", will answer the players' call for aid, arriving in their kingdom with a Gargantuan army of boggards recruited from among his own tribe, and his neighbours. It's worth noting that this is one of the largest armies the players can hope to recruit, and easily the best trained, and can prove invaluable in repelling Pitax.
* IGaveMyWord: Seems to be the case. If the players help him, Sepoko not only pays them well, but honours his promise to keep the river free of boggard predations, both his own and those of his neighbours.
* PragmaticVillainy: Sepoko is a ChaoticEvil cleric of a demon lord, but he's also remarkably reasonable for all that. If the players demonstrate their prowess to him, and aid him in removing Ngara's influence, he actually becomes a reliable ally.

[[folder:Nyrissa]]
!!Nyrissa
->'''Race:''' Nymph

A crazed nymph, Nyrissa hails from the First World, where she committed the cardinal sin of first falling in love with one of the Eldest--the rulers of that world--and then believing that this tryst made she herself one of the Eldest. As punishment she was stripped of her ability to feel love, and driven into exile. She currently plans to use a spell to trap The Stolen Lands in a bottle, and present it to the Eldest as a bribe, believing that in doing so she can buy her way back into their good graces.
----
* AxCrazy: Completely, violently insane.
* BigBad: Of the whole of the ''Kingmaker'' adventure path.
* LackOfEmpathy: All fey are capricious at best, but Nyrissa has actively lost her ability to feel.
* TheManBehindTheMan: The Stag Lord and his bandits, Hargulka and his trolls, Vordakai, Armag and his barbarians, and the King of Pitax, all of them are ultimately pawns of Nyrissa.
* ManipulativeBastard: Ruthlessly manipulates the emotions of everyone she encounters.
* TheMentallyDisturbed: Nyrissa is under the impression that by bottling The Stolen Lands she can buy back her life. That this plan is completely insane evades her totally.
* TheVamp: Seduces a number of men in order to get them to help her with their schemes, usually promising that they will rule The Stolen Lands together as king and queen.
* WeCanRuleTogether: Makes this offer to most of her male minions, but never means it.
