Added DiffLines:

* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: There are points where he will argue that it is his purpose to destroy 'unworthy' worlds. Whether he is telling the truth is unknown, though either way Marduk eventually admits he simply loves causing destruction and misery.

* GodzillaTreshold: Persephone sends Toldor to help Eldred halfway through her campaign, [[spoiler:when Eldred is stuck inside Charnel's territory with Persephone unable to otherwise help because she's trying to survive Stratos' betrayal]]. Zyzyx points out that if Persephone is sending Toldor to the front lines, things must be really dire.

* UndyingLoyalty: Loyal to Stratos and obeys his command without question. [[spoiler: It takes being possessed by a demon from the gate of Golgotha to make her turn on Stratos.]]

[[spoiler: It takes being possessed by a demon from the gate of Golgotha to make her [[spoiler:She will turn on Stratos.you in any mission where Stratos has decided to switch sides, though she is slightly apologetic about it during Persephone's campaign.]]



* EvilSoundsRaspy: With a slight tint of VoiceOfTheLegion as well.



* PowerFloats: He has no legs, with his lower body ending in what is either tentacles or ribbons.
* ResistantToMagic: Acheron has a natural resistance to magic attacks, both in single player and multiplayer, which means attacking him with creatures is near-mandatory to harm him.



* DumbMuscle: Zyzyx notes that he's a powerful wizard, but not a particularly smart one.



* LowerClassLout: Has an east-end London accent and is one of the ruder wizards around. Being James' champion she is still morally whiter than most of the rest of the class.



* DeceptiveDisciple: His ending with [[spoiler:Stratos]] if Eldred chooses to stay heavily implies Eldred is considering this.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Regardless of what route you take, Eldred will be taking out multiple gods and an ancient demon by the games end.



* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Regardless of what route you take, Eldred will be taking out multiple gods and an ancient demon by the games end.



* IDidWhatIHadToDo: If Eldred ends mission three aligned with one of the evil deities, their inability to focus on Marduk and their fracturing alliance will cause Eldred to possibly reconsider if he's perhaps not better off aligning with the good gods instead. If Eldred decides to double down on backing Pyro or Charnel, he will use this as a justification because they're currently the ones winning. [[spoiler:If Eldred backs Pyro all the way to the end and then refuses his offer to become an emperor, he will say outright that he's done working for petty tyrants and his alliance with Pyro was only for convenience's sake.]]



* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Fled Jhaera rather than die with the world. [[spoiler:He can choose voluntarily to leave the ''Sacrifice'' world if one of the evil gods are in charge following Marduk's defeat. Pyro and Stratos take offense at this, but [[AffablyEvil Charnel is understanding.]]]]

* SiliconBasedLife: Which is lampshaded by Zyzyx in the campaign, using an absolutely ''wretched'' pun that gets a LamePunReaction from Eldred.



* SuperToughness: As mentioned, Grakkus has a naturally high HP pool and can take a lot more damage than any other wizard in the game, even in multiplayer.



* DealWithTheDevil: It is implied by Pyro's fourth mission that she sees her alliance with Pyro partially as this, as his 'vision for a better tomorrow' is requiring her to make her nation go along with a lot of acts she is uncomfortable with.



* {{VoodooDoll}}: She holds one in her hand and even has a needle handy, though she doesn’t actually use it like a classic voodoo doll and just as a way to cast her spells.

to:

* {{VoodooDoll}}: ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Pyro's fourth mission has a side objective to discover why Sorcha has disobeyed Pyro's orders and stopped her slaving raids into the Glebe. If you find her, Pyro will talk her back into the fold, but she is clearly not happy about it.
* VoodooDoll:
She holds one in her hand and even has a needle handy, though she doesn’t actually use it like a classic voodoo doll and just as a way to cast her spells.



* MindRape: One of his specialities. The first Charnel mission shows that even in his exile he's done it to Sirrocho and made the Glebe's dragons run rampant.



* YouHaveFailedMe: He is already on the receiving end of this from Charnel when the campaign begins. Charnel's first mission involves freeing him and letting him back into the fold, but Charnel later refuses to grant him an altar and as such he dies permanently during James retaking of Karn (either by Eldred's hand or offscreen if you pick any of the other gods).



* AllForNothing: Charnel retakes the demon gate and spends an entire mission trying to summon a powerful demon lord into Gangrel in order to defeat Marduk, only for Jadugarr to defeat Astaroth off-screen.



* CrutchCharacter: Joins Eldred straight out of the gate during James campaign and sticks with him for every single James mission. While he eventually loses relevance (especially to Sirroco), he's still a solid bomber unit for the first five or so missions and capable of taking down several low-level units (or lightly guarded manaliths) with only minimal support.
* MeaningfulName: His name means "old" in Danish/Swedish/Norwegian.
* OldSoldier: Zyzyx describes him as "one salty old veteran".






* MadScientist: Noted as being one of the brightest inventors among the gnomes.

* MadScientist: Noted as being one of the brightest inventors among the gnomes. His StopPokingMe quotes are a LongList of various potential doomsday devices he's been thinking up.



* OnlySaneWoman: [[spoiler: She was the only servant of Stratos who argued against summoning Marduk and warned her god that the demon would betray them. She was absolutely right and her frustration with Stratos can result in her defecting from him and joining the god the player is currently following.]]

* PsychicStatic: [[spoiler:Reveals that she knows how to disrupt a God's connection to their followers halfway through the campaign. This allows
Stratos can result in her defecting from him to stealthily backstab his erstwhile allies and joining begin a massive invasion of Persephone's territory without Persephone being the god wiser.]]
* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:In Charnel's ninth mission, being
the player only loyalist of Stratos to survive Marduk's backstab. She joins Eldred for the final two missions if she is currently following.found.]]



* LightningBruiser: Sirocco flies, can tank attacks from a small army, and will OneHitKill almost any unit, building or wizard in the game. Her main setback (besides the fact that she's vulnerable to repeated, sustained ranged attacks) is that her sheer size makes her easy to target and she can often have an awkward time trying to hit things.

* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Much like his brother, Thestor betrays Peresephone early on in favor of another god, in his case Charnel. Depending on what happens, Thestor will come back to her and stick with her for the rest of the game, though Zyzyx is understandably suspicious of him.

* CivilWar: He's started a civil war amongst the gnomes in Persephone's first mission because he's been disqualified from running for high king (beause he's sheltered his brother Faestus, who is an exile).
* DirtyCoward: Should you defeat his bodyguards first during Persephone's first mission (which is a lot easier than killing Thestor given that he's a tier four HeroUnit) Thestor will immediately surrender.

* MightyGlacier: He's the slowest hero units in the game, but being an already upgraded version of Persephone's rank eight unit he hits like a truck and his life shield can protect an entire army. If Toldor touches base with something, that 'something' tends to die.

* YouCannotPass: Pulls this on Eldred [[spoiler:during Stratos' sixth mission, being the last scripted opposition between Eldred and Shakti's altar. He meets Eldred on the middle of a land bridge and summons an army to help him in combat.]]
