* AbusiveParents: Valkorion sees his children a means to further his legacy. A lifetime is spent forging his sons into warriors and leaders. The fact he barely recognises their victories and achievements fosters a great resentment in Arcann over the years. He does eventually show recognition to Arcann... but only ''after'' he slays his other son, Thexan. Apparently one son emerging as the sole heir was the goal all along.

* SocialDarwinist: Emperor Valkorion has taken this approach to parenting. His twin sons are made to endure harsh training and earn everything the hard way. When Arcann kills his own brother, Thexan, Valkorion extends a hand of approval. He had always desired one to rise above the other as the strongest heir. Furthermore, he only sees his Arcann's envy as a weakness, rather than an evil that he encouraged to fester.

* TheChosenOne[=/=]TheUnchosenOne: Varies.

The Outlander personally has traits of both; they could have been any one of the classes, meaning they ''themselves'' weren't special in the grand scheme of things, but they are in a way "chosen" by Valkorian to be his WorthyOpponent, thus ''becoming'' special.

!'''The Outlander'''

One of the eight great heroes from the Galactic War, the Outlander caught the personal interest of Emperor Valkorian. After a period of being frozen in carbonite, they escaped to rally the remnants of the Republic and the Empire against the Eternal Empire. See the various class pages for class-specific tropes and voice actors.
%% Please only list tropes specific to the protagonist of Knights of the Fallen Empire. Class-specific tropes should still go on their respective pages.

* TheChosenOne[=/=]TheUnchosenOne: Varies. Various members of the Republic and Empire view them as the former, destined to overthrow the Eternal Empire and save the galaxy; others, such as Valkorian and Heskal, view them as the latter, someone who makes their own fate.

[[spoiler:Thanks to Valkorian]], they can now keep up and duel Force-users on even ground, and even use the Force in certain cutscenes, if they so choose. [[spoiler:Of course, given who [[BigBad the powers come from]], it probably comes at a cost.]]
* HealingFactor: A GameplayAndStorySegregation example, as it only occurs in cutscenes. [[spoiler:Valkorian will heal them whenever they get heavily injured, to prevent them from dying.]]
* TheLeader: Of the Alliance against the Eternal Empire.
* MadeOfIron: In part due to their HealingFactor, but the Outlander endures and survives an astounding number of injuries. The crowner has to be [[spoiler:getting ''impaled'' by Arcann's lightsaber, then getting up and fighting their way through the forces between them and safety. As Koth notes: people don't just ''survive'' those kinds of wounds.]]
* MultipleChoicePast: The Outlander could have been anyone--a Jedi, a Sith, a soldier, a mercenary--before becoming who they are today.
* PowerAtAPrice: Lana warns them that [[spoiler:Valkorian's assisstance likely comes at a great personal cost, and not to rely on it too much.]]
* ScrewDestiny: The reason why Emperor Valkorian finds them interesting is because of how they took charge of their own fate in the past. [[MadOracle Heskal]] even says that the Outlander's refusal to bow to fate makes them the one person in the galaxy whose destiny is an enigma to him and the other Scions.
* SchrodingersPlayerCharacter: Averted. Various dialogue and codex entries will reference the other seven classes, though not directly to avoid CuttingOffTheBranches. All seven are stated to be missing and under various levels of UncertainDoom. As it stands, any of the heroes had the potential to become the Outlander; the one who ''did'' is merely the one the player chose to hunt the Emperor with Marr.
* SealedBadassInACan: A [[OneManArmy One Man (or Woman) Army]] who was frozen in carbonite for five years, and upon escaping proceeds to wreck havoc with the Eternal Empire.
* WorthyOpponent: To Valkorian. Various enemies can also form this opinion of them, depending on how they act.

!'''Lana Beniko'''
''See: [[Characters/StarWarsTheOldRepublicRepublicClassSpecificCharacters Major Characters]]''

!'''Koth Vortena'''
-->''We're going to win this thing. I tell you, it's destiny.''

An exiled officer of Zakuul who opposes the empire's tyranny.

* BecauseDestinySaysSo: Tends to have this outlook, viewing everything positive that happens as a sign destiny is with him.
* DeadpanSnarker: As per usual.
* DefectorFromDecadence: Rebelled against Zakuul after refusing to use military force to put down riots on a conquered world.
* {{Expy}}: He looks a lot like [[Videogame/FinalFantasyXIII Sazh Katzroy]] and serves as a pilot just like him. His role as a pilot also makes him something of an equivalent to the roles filled by Carth or Atton in the previous game.
* HeroWorshipper: He's incredibly loyal to Valkorian, even after Lana tells him that [[spoiler:he's also a planet-devouring OmnicidalManiac]]. As far as he's concerned, he was at least a great ruler for Zakuul.

!'''Senya Tirall'''
-->"Even Emperors must answer to the law."

A vengeful enforcer who believes that the rulers of Zakuul are corrupt.

* CulturedBadass: A talented warrior, well-versed in Zakuul lore, who also enjoys singing.
* LadyOfWar: [[spoiler:Like her daughter Vaylin]]. Senya is a very capable combatant, as composed on the battlefield as she is off it.
* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:She is the mother of Valkorian's children.]]

!'''HK-55'''
-->"Declaration: Meatbag defense protocols engaged."

An HK series droid and a loyal bodyguard who has been programmed to protect "meatbags" at all costs.

* DeadpanSnarker: Much like his previous predecessors.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Dies in Chapter 8 of ''Knights of the Fallen Empire'', protecting the Outlander from Arcann.]]
* TokenHeroicOrc: His programming is rather notable, considering his predecessors HK-47 and HK-51 were programmed with the primary purpose of ''killing'' "meatbags", rather than protecting them.
* UndyingLoyalty: To the Outlander.

-->''I can make you powerful beyond reason... If you only kneel.''

Emperor of the Empire of Zakuul, BigBad of the third expansion.

* AbusiveParents: Valkorian sees his children a means to further his legacy. A lifetime is spent forging his sons into warriors and leaders. The fact he barely recognises their victories and achievements fosters a great resentment in Arcann over the years. He does eventually show recognition to Arcann...but only ''after'' he has slain his other son Thexan. Apparently one son emerging as the sole heir was the goal all along.
* EnemyWithin: [[spoiler:After his body is killed by Arcann, his spirit finds his way into the Outlander's head and offers occasional advice along with offers of his power.]]
* {{Expy}}: To the [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer40000}} God-Emperor of Mankind]]. Beside the title, ambition, ruthlessness and preference for BlingOfWar, his relationship with his sons mirrored that of the God-Emperor and the Primarchs. Both focused on shaping their children as generals first and sons later and treated them as such. This led to half of them rebelling, and the other half losing their lives to stop it.
* FinalBossPreview: [[spoiler:He kills Darth Marr with a single powerful blast of Force Lightning]].
* FirstEpisodeSpoiler: [[spoiler:He's none other than the Sith Emperor himself.]]
* PragmaticVillainy:
** He's patient enough to wait for the Republic and Sith Empire to fight one another to exhaustion before beginning his invasion.
** Valkorian is aware of how powerful the Outlander is, so he attempts to recruit them to stop them from interfering with his plans.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: When one of his sons kills the other, his eyes noticeably take on a Sith tint when he extends an arm to Arcann afterwards. [[spoiler:It's a sign of his true identity]].
* SocialDarwinist: Emperor Valkorian has taken this approach to parenting. His twin sons are made to endure harsh training and earn everything the hard way. When Arcann kills his own brother Thexan, Valkorian extends a hand of approval. He had always desired one to rise above the other as the strongest heir.
* TrainingFromHell: He subjects his sons to this from pretty much the moment they can hold weapons. It's implied their entire lives are a means of forging one of them into a worthy heir willing to make any and all sacrifices for their ambition.
* WeCanRuleTogether: Offers to give the Outlander great power if s/he kneels to him, having dubbed them worthy of his attention [[spoiler:after the events of Yavin 4 and Ziost]].

!'''Arcann'''
[[quoteright:244:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/94d05472d6ffc09a73b2b171360c4766.png]]
-->''Destiny is a lie.''

One of the two sons of Emperor Valkorian. He is known as The Dark Prince.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Always seemed to come out second best to his brother Thexan, at least until their all too short final duel.
* ArtificialLimbs: Due to losing his arm in battle, he receives a new cybernetic arm in the field. Due to taking place in the middle of battle, the procedure is not pleasant.
* AmbitionIsEvil: Arcann expresses a desire to achieve his goals at seemingly at any cost. In contrast Thexan is following his brother's dreams, not his own.
--> '''Thexan:''' "How much are you willing to give?"
--> '''Arcann:''' ''"Everything."''
* AntagonisticOffspring: Arcann develops a deep seeded resentment and anger toward his father for his distant and cold nature. Eventually he attempts to kill his father after yet another failure to acknowledge his achievements.
* BadassBaritone: He has an incredibly deep voice.
* BashBrothers[=/=]SiblingTeam: Fought alongside his brother Thexan since they were children. Tragically their final fight together is not side by side but against one another.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor:
** Arcann was told to remain at Zakuul, rather than join his brother in leading their campaign in the Core Worlds, but goes with him anyway. He loses his left arm, an eye and suffers server burns to half his face.
** He desires some form of recognition from his distant and uncaring father. He gains this only after killing his own brother in a blind rage.
* BigBadDuumvirate: Is this with Vaylin for ''Knights of the Fallen Empire.''
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: An off-hand comment confirms that he still misses his brother, five years after his death.
* LightIsNotGood: Wears white, contrasting with his brother’s black wardrobe, though neither seems to have much good in them. As it is, it seems that Arcann was the one who fell deeper into The Dark Side and allowed anger to consume him. That being said, he's far more restrained and practical than his sister Vaylin who dresses darkly.
* ManipulativeBastard: Uses the Outlander to seize control of the Eternal Empire.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: He's grief-stricken when he realizes that he killed Thexan.
* RedRightHand: His face is severely burned, which is covered up by his shattered mask.
* TheStarscream: To Emperor Valkorian. [[spoiler:He succeeds in killing him via manipulating the Outlander, and assumes the throne.]]
* WellDoneSonGuy: Their father seemed to act cold to both of them, but favored his brother just a hair more. This seemed to have finally trigger Arcann to attack their father, causing Thexan to Force Pull him back, ending in his brother’s death, and Valkorian calling him "Son."

!'''Thexan'''
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/3376d9950edd53784c31158a988a358f.png]]
One of the two sons of Emperor Valkorian.

* TheAce: Is shown to be better than his brother in combat, has less need for their father's acknowledgement, is a morally better person and more resistant to the Dark Side's pull. All of which only increases the sense of tragedy when he is cut down by Arcann in a fit of rage.
* DarkIsNotEvil: He is shown to be the more calm and protective of the two siblings. And unlike his white-robed sibling does not fall prey to the anger of the darkside. In fact as Arcann's resentment and fury grows Thexan notes he does not share his anger and hopes to quell his rage in time. That said, he was still actively leading an army of conquest and was evidently not particularity nice, but just ALighterShadeOfGrey.
* EtTuBrute: He doesn't say a word when his brother strikes him down but this trope is written all over his face.
* NiceToTheWaiter: Due to stress he's finds himself a little snappy with one of his father's knights. Though he immediately apologises for this when he notices she fought by his side in battle and as such deserves some respect.
--> "Forgive me. I'm tired. Will that be all?"
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: He stops Arcann from slaying their father in a fit of rage by pulling him back with the force. He dies when Arcann directs his fury towards him instead.
* TheWorfEffect / WorfHadTheFlu: Despite being shown as edging his sibling in combat and skill, he is killed in very short order by Arcann during a brief duel. He is implied to have been caught completely off guard when Arcann attacked him in a blind frenzy. The fact he did not wish to harm him proved to be instantly fatal when his brother attacked with lethal intent.
* UndyingLoyalty: To his family. This leads directly to his death.

!'''Vaylin'''
-->"Rules are for people who lack the creativity to break them."

The daughter of Emperor Valkorian, Vaylin is a remorseless prodigy who feels that she's been held back all of her life and seeks to be true to her own nature.

* AxCrazy: Rarely seen not in a homicidal rage.
* BigBadDuumvirate: With her brother Arcann in ''Knights of the Fallen Empire.''
* ChildProdigy: Thought Arcann was bad news? His sister is significantly stronger in the Force than him, and has been since she was a child.
* TheDreaded: Most people in the Eternal Empire are terrified of Vaylin, and with good reason.
* TheEmpath: ''Very'' good at detecting others through the force.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: When Arcann mentions missing Thexan, Vaylin says in a surprisingly soft voice that she misses him too, and for all her craziness she seems to care about her surviving brother as well.
* LadyOfWar: Elegant and calmly in control, even when slaughtering everyone in the vicinity on a whim.
* ShockAndAwe: Vaylin likes to use Force Lightning.
* YouHaveFailedMe: Very fond of this.
