History Characters / PillarsOfEternityNPCs

-> '''Voiced by:''' Lara Parmiani

* {{Expy}}: Of the similarly irredeemable Lord Isaea Roenall from the Nalia De'Arnise/Fighter Stronghold quest chains in ''VideoGame/BaldursGateII'', of which Caed Nua as a whole is a SpiritualSuccessor.

* MythologyGag: One of the paths to [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath talking her to death]] involves convincing her that even if she managed to return to the world outside the White Void, it would only be for an eternity of [[VideoGame/PlanescapeTorment torment]], endlessly dying and being reborn on the Great Wheel. The destruction of the soul that Rymrgand offers is essentially the True Death sought by the Dustmen of ''D&D''[='s=] ''TabletopGame/{{Planescape}}'' setting; Nericyrlas herself isn't far removed from being a draconic version of the Nameless One.

* NiceHat: The hazanui hat of office is a cap with a large striped fan on top.

* NiceHat: What kind of pirate captain would he be without one?

* DressedToPlunder: A grubbier version than Furrante, but she's still got a NiceHat.

* NiceHat: She is a pirate captain, after all.

* TheComicallySerious: BritishStuffiness taken UpToEleven with a side of desert-arid snark. Think Creator/JohnCleese in any authority figure role.

* TeleportersAndTransporters The main goal of her research is to use the adra which runs through Eora as an ExtraDimensionalShortcut, allowing nearly instantaneous transport across great distances. [[spoiler:With the Watcher's help, she succeeds.]]

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Has green fur. This isn't actually that uncommon among orlans, as seen with Serafen in the second game.

* CharaterClass: In a case of GameplayAndStoryIntegration, she actually is a high-level Cipher.

* MagicallyIndeptFighter: Opposed to the PsycicPowers of his sister, he relies purely on martial power.

* MismatchedEyes: Rather than an EyepatchOfPower, she has one [[IcyBlueEyes icy blue eye]] and one that's "black as a raven's wing".

* MsExposition: She fills in the blanks that Lady Webb failed to filled in before she was StuffedIntoTheFridge; namely who Thaos truly is, and why he acts. It can affect your views of the gods quite a bit.

* BadassBeard: The Watcher can comment on the glory of his magnificent beard.

* ItIsPronouncedTroPay: ''Fee-OWN-ledge''.

* FlunkyBoss: In the Oratory of Wael he fights with suits of animated armor and soul mirrors, ghostly clones of himself that have the same wizard abilities as he does. [[Spoiler: When possessing the Oracle he summons more soul mirrors along with other creatures from the Sanctum that were originally a part of Wael's titan body.]]

* MasterOfIllusion: This for the Circle. Most of his illusions involve distorting the target's senses, causing a array of in-game [[StatusEffects afflictions]], often at random: pain, fear, dizziness, nausea.

* FlunkyBoss: Like every other boss in the game. The action economy and StatusEffect-based combat doesn't really work, otherwise. The Guardian does do more of its own fighting than any other boss, however.

* Foil: To Aloth, especially if Aloth has taken charge of the Leaden Key. They are both elven wizards from Aedyr who lead secret societies dedicated to protecting the secrets of the gods. Eder lampshades the similarity if he and a Leaden Key-aligned Aloth are in the same party together. The difference is that Aloth draws the line at atrocities like Waidwen's Legacy or the destruction of Defiance Bay, while Fyonlecg completely lacks empathy.

%%-> '''Voiced by:''' Dale Rapley

* {{Expy}}: He’s pretty blatantly one of [[VideoGame/BaldursGateII Jon Irenicus]], another arrogant ColdHam elf mage driven by loss of identity and revenge. His voice actor even seems to be doing a Creator/DavidWarner impression.

* MasterOfIllusion: This for the Circle. Most of his illusions involve distorting the target's senses, causing a array of in-game [[StandardStatusEffects afflictions]], often at random: pain, fear, dizziness, nausea.

* TheCameo: After [[spoiler:getting killed by Eothas when he possesses the statue of Od Nua and destroys Caed Nua from below]], you see a vision of her during the prologue of ''Deadfire''. It's from this vision that the above image comes from.

* TheMark: How can you see his giant mansion in Periki's Overlook and ''not'' want to rob the place?

** Serafen never directly confronts the Watcher over this, but his dialogue with Vela makes it clear that he's worried her situation is NotSoDifferent from his own past as a child slave. He gently reminds her that no one owns her, including the Watcher.

* TheNeedsOfTheMany: Supposedly the reason the Circle was founded, in practice they mostly bicker with one another and follow their own private agendas. [[spoiler:NotSoDifferent from the gods, really.]]

* NotSoDifferent: From the Watcher. While the other archmages pay lip service to their supposed responsibilities while ruthlessly pursuing their own agendas, Llengrath seems to carry out her duties without any ulterior motive, simply because someone must. Whether the Watcher is a loyal servant of the gods or their reluctant pawn, they're likewise compelled to act for the greater good of the world, whether they like it or not.

* CoolOldLady: Basically founded Psychic UsefulNotes/ScotlandYard. Think [[Creator/JudiDench Dame Judi Dench]] in her role as [[Film/JamesBond M]] with a little bit of SherlockHolmes thrown in, based in a fantasy version of post-Revolutionary America.

* RealityEnsues: He's a paranoid tyrant who blames mothers and Eothas worshipers for the Hollowborn epidemic, hires countless ciphers and animancers to try to find a cure, and hangs them just as quickly for not finding a solution fast enough. [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes But at least he genuinely loves his pregnant wife, right?]] [[spoiler: Yeah, he still kills her when she fails him (by giving birth to a hollowborn child), like countless fanatic tyrants and domestic abusers to their wives throughout history.]]
