History Characters / ThiefDeadlyShadows

* DarkChick

* BodyOfBodies: Her long existence of stealing bodies and lives from her victims have turned her into a twisted, hunchbacked ogre whose body is comprised of the bodies of her prey. There's barely no skin on her that doesn't have a pair of [[AndIMustScream silently screaming faces]] staring back at you.

* WhamLine: Her first line to Garrett once she stumbles upon her.

* NonActionGuy: As with the Hammerite or Mechanist priests and Pagans shamans, Keeper Elders have minor defensive combat capability, but that's about it.

* ThoseTwoGuys: She and Elder Logan are major recurring characters in ''Thief : Deadly Shadows''.

* ThoseTwoGuys: He and Elder Blake are major recurring characters in ''Thief : Deadly Shadows''.

* TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler: In ''Deadly Shadows'', when Garrett stumbles upon [[PlotTwist an portrait of someone who looks exactly the same as her]], in a building that burned down long before she was taken in by the Keepers.]]

* CoolOldGuy : Though in his 50's or 60's and slowly graying, he remains an experienced scholar and one of the few people who's stealth abilities are on par with Garrett's (even among the ranks of the Keepers).

* GenkiGirl: She's a perky young lady working in the thieving business, who's greatest dream is to become a professional thief.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Ember is a pawn to her interests, not suspecting that the women he considers kind and sweet actually cares little for him and has plans of her own.

* SillyReasonForWar: If we can believe a servant heard later during a mission, Ember and his cousin Julian started their latest mutual feud [[NoodleIncident after some disagreement involving their hunting hawks]].

* DeterminedWidow: Despite her relatives and servants thinking they can manipulate her to their own ends, she's defiant to their ulterior motives and insincere pandering even after her husband's death. She's even a bit of a DisabledSnarker.

* WeaponOfChoice: Carries a small sword on her belt.

* WeaponOfChoice: Swords.

* WeaponOfChoice: A rather unique one.

* WeaponOfChoice: Hammerite polehammers.

* GrumpyBear

* GrumpyBear

* KarmicDeath: One is implied though not outright shown. After framing Garrett as a traitor, the Keeper Council sends the dreaded Keeper Enforcers after him to kill him, but after Garrett erases all the Glyphs but his, taking away her immortality and powers in the process and reducing her to a withered old woman, he leaves her to her fate at the hands of the same Keeper Enforcers now surrounding her.

* ContinuityNod: His [[UniqueEnemy unique NPC model]] in ''Deadly Shadows'' had the same tattoes that he had in the animated cutscene in which he made his first appearance during the storyline of ''The Metal Age''.

* TheAssimilator: Her true form is like Her main ability is to kill someone and "steal their skin", allowing her to shapeshift into [[YouAreWhoYouEat that person's form]]. She has to do this on a regular basis to maintain her immortality. Her true form looks like something straight from ''The Thing'', a massive humanoid form composed of dozens of stolen human bodies that seem to be still alive on some level and [[AndIMustScream helplessly trapped inside her]].

* {{Jerkass}}: He is well-meaning and just wants to preserve the Keeper order and its function, but frequently shows incompetence or comes across as abrasive and paranoid.

* MagicKnight: Implied.
* HighlyVisibleNinja
* {{Telepathy}}

* AscendedExtra: After being more of a background character in ''The Dark Project'' and ''The Metal Age''.

* CoolOldGuy : Though in his 50s or 60s and slowly greying, he remains an experienced scholar and one of the few people who's stealth abilities are on par with Garrett's (even among the ranks of the Keepers).

* ParentalSubstitute: The Alfred Pennyworth to Garrett's {{Franchise/Batman}}, as usual. The third game emphasises the "father figure" aspect of Artemus' [[IntergenerationalFriendship relationship to his apprentice]] after it had been hinted at before in the series' history.

* ConflictBall: With Garrett, almost perpetually. The two just plain don't trust each other, ''ever''.

* HeroKiller: Murders [[BigGood Artemus]] [[KilledOffScreen offscreen]], Garrett's [[MentorOccupationHazard own mentor]], and steals his skin to wear. Also kills Keeper Orland, who though far less of a hero, tries to come through in the end for Garrett. To say nothing of the many other Keepers she has killed.

* TheAssimilator: Her main ability is to kill someone and "steal their skin", allowing her to shapeshift into [[YouAreWhoYouEat that person's form]]. She has to do this on a regular basis to maintain her immortality. Her true form is a massive humanoid form composed of dozens of stolen human bodies.
* AxCrazy: She's intelligent and cunning, having had centuries to hone her already considerable skill, but her obsession and age have exacted a terrible toll on her mind. When she's forced to get physical, she tears apart everyone and anyone who gets in her way.

* TheDreaded: Inspector Drept [[ItsPersonal understandably]] and rightly considers her so, as do the various legends that have sprang up over time around the City about her.

* MadeOfIron: Like the Trickster, Gamall is powerful enough that nothing in Garrett's arsenal, or even the entirety of the City Guard, can even harm her. She's even able to shrug off Glyph attacks in a battle with the Keepers. However, due to a programming oversight, slipping on a puddle of oil will cause her to fall and be knocked unconscious.

* TheDreaded: Inspector Drept [[ItsPersonal understandably]] and rightly considers her so, as so the various legends that have sprang up over time about her.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The nursery rhymes about The Hag strewn throughout the course of ''Deadly Shadows''. Seems like flavour text at first, but turns out to be a legit bit of The City's folklore. Here are a few examples :

-->''"The hag wears death about her as a cloak some who meet her doth vanish, others perish with bloody work done upon their bodies. There art hints spoken of creatures made of stone. And ever, the tale of a hag, a bent old woman. Ever old, but growing no older, in a span that hath taken me from boyhood to mine own age."''
