History Characters / PathfinderSagaLands

* BroughtDownToBadass: After waking up, she obtains the massively powerful Scepter of Ages and used its TimeTravel powers to absorb mythic power from old Thassilon, drastically increasing her already immense magical and mythic powers. As the players undo the damage she has done to the time stream, she loses the Scepter and the extra power she used it to gain, going from a demigod-level threat to “merely” a CR 24 mythic wizard.

* WorldsStrongestMan: Going by her game stats, Baba Yaga is the single most powerful human in the setting, and quite possibly the mightiest creature of the Material Plane—her only rivals are the very strongest extraplanar lords such as the demon lord Pazuzu and the Oliphaunt of Jandelay. Especially noteworthy, since she doesn't have Mythic levels.

* AntagonisticOffspring: The events of ''Reign of Winter'' are kicked off when Elvanna begins to suspect that Baba Yaga has less than pleasant plans in store for her and thus decides to unseat her mother as Queen of Witches and take her power for herself.
* BigBad: Of ''Reign of Winter''. Her plans set the adventure path in motion, threatening all of Golarion and even causing some problems on Earth.

!!Sandpoint Devil
An infamous monster that lives near Sandpoint.
----
* TheJerseyDevil: It's the Jersey Devil adapted for Golarion.

* SealedEvilInACan: In order to avoid Earthfall, the runelords sealed themselves within demiplane sanctums (except Zutha, who divided his phylactery into three), and don't awake until around 10000 years later.

* DropTheHammer: His weapon of choice is a lucerne hammer made of some unknown kind of skymetal.

* OurLichesAreDifferent: He turned himself into a lich early on, although an unique one that can still taste and feel as though he were still alive.

* TheDragon: If the [=PCs=] of ''Return of the Runelords'' fail to prevent Leptonia from resurrecting Krune, he'll later offer to serve under Alaznist in New Thassilon.

* TheOmnipotent: Baba Yaga is the "virtually omnipotent" type. There's an ability on her statblock ([[RedBaron Queen of Witches]]) that can be summarized with the words "Grandmother can do anything she wants". She knows every spell on the witch and sorcerer/wizard spell list and many that are not and has the ability to create artifacts, which can do nearly anything the plot requires them to.

* AGodIAmNot: The whole reason she left Earth was because she was sick of people begging for her aid; she feels like having to deal with prayers day in and day out would drive her mad. That said, in terms of actual ''power'' she's on about the level of minor gods or DemonLordsAndArchdevils.

* NobleDemon: The prices she asks for help are set as high as possible, and she makes no bones about the fact that it will cause more problems than it solves, but if paid, she (grumpily, but honestly) holds up her end without question.

* WorldsStrongestMan: Going by her game stats, Baba Yaga is the single most powerful human in the setting, and quite possibly the mightiest creature of the Material Plane—her only rivals are the very strongest extraplanar lords such as the demon lord Pazuzu and the Oliphaunt of Jandelay.

!!Fafnheir, the Father of All Linnorms
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fafnheir.png]]
->'''Race:''' Linnorm (unique)
->'''Challenge Rating:''' 24
->'''Alignment:''' ChaoticEvil
->'''Size:''' Colossal

The oldest and most powerful linnorm on Golarion.

* BeenThereShapedHistory: Over his immensely long life, he participated in a variety of historical events -- he fought alongside the serpentfolk in their wars against Azlant, for instance, and was one of Runelord Xanderghul's advisors.
* BlowYouAway: He can generate tornado force winds.
* DyingCurse: An especially nasty one that makes the killer into the vessel for Fafnheir's resurrection.
* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: Slaying Fafnheir is the last test that an Ulfen warrior would have to pass in order to unite the Linnorm Kingdoms. Given that Fafnheir's CR is 24, and therefore more powerful than almost any true dragon alive, it's not likely to happen anytime soon, ''especially'' given his ResurrectiveImmortality.
* TheDreaded: Not only among the humans of the Lands of the Linnorm Kings, but among his fellow linnorms, and most true dragons as well.
* FamedInStory: Fafnheir is the most infamous linnorm in-universe, with power that rivals that of all but the greatest true dragons.
* GeniusBruiser: Fafnheir is well-versed in many fields and can work a wide variety of magic through wishcrafting.
* HeroKiller: Fafnheir has seen many challengers over the years. Few have lived to talk about it. Thanks to the way his Death Curse works, those who have often can't talk about it very long, as he uses them as a vessel for his rebirth. This is a fatal process (his new body appears inside his would-be killer and makes said killer the first victim of that body's breath weapon) unless if the killer manages to avoid being cursed or if the curse is dispelled before Fafnheir can resurrect himself.
* LargeAndInCharge: At Colossal size, Fafnheir is bigger than all other linnorms whose size is only Gargantuan.
* MonsterProgenitor: He was the first linnorm to enter Golarion from the First World, and claims to be the progenitor of the linnorm race.
* PlayingWithFire: The winds Fafnheir releases are burning, and cause severe fire damage to anyone they hit.
* PsychoElectro: He produces lightning in the area around him.
* PublicDomainCharacter: His name at least is lifted from the Volsunga Saga.
* ResurrectiveImmortality: Killing him causes the killer's body to become the vessel for Fafnheir's resurrection.
* TimeAbyss:, Fafnheir has seen thousands of years pass him by and expects to see thousands more, and has been a witness to Golarion's history since the time when the aboleths and serpentfolk ruled the world.
* WickedCultured: Fafnheir, unlike most linnorms, is very intelligent, and will share his wisdom and philosophical outlook with those who ask.

[[folder:Realm of the Mammoth Lords]]
A savage land full of megafauna.
----

* BladeOnAStick: Carried around an adamantine ranseur, which is a kind of trident-like polearm.

* TheUnfought: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. While the real Xanderghul was already killed by Alaznist before the Return of the Runelords AP began, the [=PCs=] still invade his sanctum to fight and kill his simulacrum to prevent his resurrection.

* BladeOnAStick: Wields a halberd made of gold and mithral that had the ability to steal memories.

* BladeOnAStick: Her weapon of choice is a double-bladed guisarme. So ''two'' blades on a stick!

* TimeLimitBoss: An incomplete fragment of Zutha serves as the final boss of the third volume of ''Return of the Runelords''. The [=PCs=] have ten rounds in total to defeat him before he's drawn back into the ''Bone Grimoire''.

* BladeOnAStick: He wields a magical glaive as his symbol of office.

* EnemyMine: In the non-canon BadEnding of ''Rise of the Runelords'', where the [=PCs=] fail to prevent his return into the world or to sabotage the Leng Device, Karzoug's return completes a ritual that allows the [[AlwaysABiggerFish Great Old One Mhar]] to be born from beneath Xin-Shalast, annihilating the city and Karzoug's forces. Although Karzoug survives, the narration notes that Mhar would pose such a cataclysmic threat to... everything, essentially, that the [=PCs=] might be forced to ally with Karzoug to face it down.
