[[folder:The Wizard]]
The Wizard is the protagonist and player character of the game. When creating a character, you choose between the Fire, Ice, Storm, Myth, Life, Death or Balance schools of magic, then spend the game advancing your knowledge of your chosen discipline while adventuring through the game's worlds.

* AnIcePerson: If your chosen school is Ice. One of their summon spells is literally an angry, top-hat-wearing {{Snowlem}}.
* BadassAdorable: The player is seemingly just a kid, but still embarks on endless dangerous adventures without fear or hesitation.
* TheBeautifulElite: The game notes that Fire wizards tend to be very attractive.
* CompetitiveBalance: Although each school has a different specialization, they're designed to be generally equal in terms of power.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Life wizards are exceptional healers, but have fun trying to deal any significant damage without high-tier gear, especially at early levels.
* DamageOverTime: Fire magic, for the most part, operates on this mechanic, with high-damage hit spells spread out over multiple rounds. Storm wizards deal comparably high damage, but it's all combined into larger single hits.
* DishingOutDirt: Sand-based magic fuels most of the Balance school's offensive spells. The Myth school's Earthquake spell is also a literal example.
* GlassCannon: Storm and Fire wizards. These schools all have relatively low accuracy and health (especially in the case of Storm), but high damage.
* GreenThumb: Life wizards. Some of their advanced spells, particularly heals, are more comparable to pure WhiteMagic.
* TheHero: By the time you reach the endgame, you've saved the Spiral from destruction ''four times''. If you include side quests, nearly every NPC in the game has the Wizard to thank for solving their problems.
* JackOfAllStats: Balance wizards, which makes sense as the lore states that they [[AllYourPowersCombined draw power from all the other schools.]]
* TheMedic: The Life school's playstyle revolves around healing. Death wizards also have shades of this, but can only heal themselves (by [[LifeDrain extracting health from their opponents]]).
* TheMinionMaster: Myth wizards can summon a vast range of minions to assist them in battle, and the Monstrology activity lets you capture the essence of certain mobs to create summonable minion versions of them.
* {{Necromancer}}: Death wizards. It's even the formal title of their class.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted. You choose your wizard's first and last name from predetermined lists, which can lead to many wizards with the same name running around.
* PlayingWithFire: If your chosen school is Fire. In a more literal example, the Immolate spell involves ''burning yourself'', dealing high fire damage to your opponent if you manage to survive.
* ShockAndAwe: If your chosen school is Storm. Some summon spells, like [[ThreateningShark Storm Shark]], also have shades of MakingASplash.
* SilentProtagonist: The only sounds you hear your wizard make are the "hurt" sounds that you make when you take damage in a fight.
** This is [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] in that the Wizard can talk... You just can't hear him/her. There's a "menu chat" system for players under 13, and more traditional (but still highly restricted) text-based chat for players over 13. For players over 18, there's a ''much'' less censored version, only available [[AllegedlyFreeGame if you are confirmed to be 18 or older, with an active membership and a valid credit card on file]].
* StoneWall: If his/her chosen school is Ice. They don't do as much damage as most other schools, but boast high health and resistance, enabling them to tank very effectively.
* SummonMagic: Most offensive spells are based around this, although the summoned creatures disappear after they've attacked.
* VagueAge: The player looks like they're a teenager, but they may be just below or above that age range.

->''"I should say, young wizard, that I was quite impressed with your courage. There is little doubt but that a great destiny awaits you."''

->'''Magic School:''' Unknown

Merle Ambrose is the Headmaster of the Ravenwood School of Magical Arts. Originally from the world of Avalon, he journeyed to the heart of the Spiral and built Wizard City around the World Tree, founding the Ravenwood School to teach magic to young wizards of all origins. An ancient and powerful wizard, Headmaster Ambrose prefers to share his arcane knowledge with others rather than hoard it for himself-- he truly loves and cares for his students and faculty, regardless of race or origin. While he keeps Wizard City secluded from the politics of the Spiral, he is treated with a great degree of respect by leaders of its various worlds.
----
* BigGood: Of Wizard City, and later of the entire game [[spoiler: as head of the Council of Light.]]
* CoolOldGuy: The most powerful wizard alive and the [[spoiler:leader of the Council of Light]], as well as the headmaster of the most prestigious wizarding school in the Spiral.
* DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu: Shares a bond with Grandfather Tree, one of the three Primordials that shaped the Spiral from the shattered fragments of the First World.
* {{Expy}}: Bears similarity to another [[HarryPotter magical headmaster]], as well as the famed wizard [[KingArthur Merlin]] of Arthurian legend.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: The player encounters Merle while reliving Morganthe's memories of her time as a Ravenwood student, centuries in the past. The Headmaster ''doesn't even look any younger''. In an Avalon flashback, we see him as Artorius' court wizard, centuries before ''that''. [[UpToEleven He still looks the same]].
* SinkOrSwimMentor: Although he's shown to care deeply about his students, he's not hesitant to send the player into extremely dangerous situations.

Professor of Storm Magic at the Ravenwood School.

* GadgeteerGenius: His defining characteristic. Several of the Storm school's training quests involve him sending you to [[TwentyBearAsses collect parts]] for one of his new magical contraptions.
* NiceHat: Always seen wearing his trademark purple top hat. The player can obtain the hat as a rare item drop from the Professor's Hoard pack.
* ThePollyanna: Halston was born into poverty as a member of Marleybone's working-class Frog race. In a flashback dungeon, he's shown to have been kidnapped and nearly killed by the crimelord Meowiarty's thugs [[spoiler:as part of the Maestro's plan to alter the timeline]].

->'''Magic School:''' Myth

Professor of Myth Magic at the Ravenwood School.

* BaldOfAwesome: After Ambrose, Morganthe and Malistaire, he's the most powerful wizard alive. He's completely bald. [[spoiler:In one of the flashback dungeons, he's revealed to have once had a [[FunnyAfro large "afro" hairstyle.]]]]
* BeefGate: The player must duel Cyrus to prove their readiness to face his brother Malistaire in the fortress world of Dragonspyre. If the player doesn't know what they're doing or is severely underleveled, [[ThatOneBoss it can take a few tries.]]
* BigGood: Of the world of Dragonspyre-- he assists the Wizard from the Basilica in their efforts to bypass the ruined city's defenses and apprehend Malistaire.
* CynicalMentor: Extremely so. The first Myth training quest is literally impossible to initially complete. Even non-Myth students are still treated with disdain ''at best''.
* {{Expy}}: Especially in the early quest lines, his personality is very clearly based on that of [[HarryPotter Severus Snape]].
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Although he's ''definitely'' a colossal {{Jerkass}}, he does care for his brother [[BigBad Malistaire]]. He also develops a reluctant bond with a Myth-aligned player (albeit very slowly.)

Professor of Life Magic at the Ravenwood School.

* HippieTeacher: Prefers to share her knowledge of Life magic with her students through meditation and contemplation, in accordance with the traditions of her home world of Mooshu.
* MagicalAsian: Although not truly Asian [[PettingZooPeople (or human at all)]], her Asian voice actress, tendency to assign students to meditation/tests of focus, and homeworld of Feudal Japan-inspired Mooshu qualify her for this trope.

->'''Magic School:''' Death

The former Ravenwood Death Professor, Malistaire Drake is the BigBad of the first StoryArc. After losing his wife Sylvia to disease, Malistaire's heart was broken, leading him to seek forbidden knowledge in an attempt to resurrect her. Driven by his unrelenting quest, he began to descend into madness, ripping the Death School from Ravenwood itself and forsaking Wizard City in his pursuit of necromantic power. With the power of the ancient [[TomeOfEldritchLore Krokonomicon]], Malistaire attempted to awaken the primordial [[PhysicalGod Dragon Titan]] to serve him, placing the Spiral itself in grave danger. With the help of his brother Cyrus and Sylvia's ghost, he is killed by the Wizard, expressing regret for his actions and joining his beloved wife in the Afterlife.

Years later, the Shadow Queen Morganthe used her necromancy to call Malistaire back to the mortal plane as a [[OurLichesAreDifferent lich]], bound to serve her Shadow Web. Confused and in pain, Malistaire once again lost his mind, able to hold on only to distant memories of Sylvia and his burning hatred for the Wizard who took his life. After Morganthe [[spoiler:completes her ritual to destroy the world of Azteca]], he is sent hurtling through the raw shadow of the Void between the Worlds, eventually landing in the midnight world of Darkmoor. Brokering a deal with the Vampire Lord Shane von Shane, Malistaire took refuge in Castle Darkmoor, challenging the Wizard to a duel to the death by the ancient custom of ''Kan Davasi''. The Wizard fights though Darkmoor's hordes of nightmarish creatures, finally coming face-to-face with the unimaginable necromantic power of the newly-crowned Malistaire the Undying. In an epic battle, the Wizard defeats the corrupted, undead professor, releasing his spirit from Morganthe's Shadow magic. Once again, he joins his wife Sylvia in blessed Afterlife, remarking to the Wizard that they will not meet again.
----
* BerserkButton: Absolutely ''loses it'' when he thinks Cyrus is using Sylvia's memory to manipulate him.
* BigBad: Of Dragonspyre, and the first story arc as a whole. He's also the BiggerBad of Wizard City, Krokotopia, Marleybone and Mooshu. As Malistaire the Undying, he briefly acts as TheDragon to Morganthe during the Azteca storyline. Finally, he returns as the Big Bad of the special side world of Darkmoor.
* DrivenToMadness: What began as a quest to restore his wife to life descended into a quest for forbidden knowledge that corrupted Malistaire's heart and soul, causing him to abandon his morals in pursuit of greater power. When he's brought back from the Afterlife by Morganthe, he loses his mind ''again'', becoming an undead creature of pure hatred.
* OmnicidalManiac: Is willing to allow the Dragon Titan to obliterate the Spiral just to see Sylvia restored to life.
* OneWingedAngel: In Darkmoor, defeating him in his lich form results in his transformation into a [[EldritchAbomination hate-fueled demon of raw Shadow magic]].
* ThatOneBoss: [[invoked]] Malistaire the Undying is currently the most powerful mob in the game, and his dungeon can take hours to complete without a well-prepared team. As he drops the highest-tier endgame gear available, dedicated players often must fight him several times. Thankfully for more casual players, he's an optional boss.
* TragicVillain: Malistaire truly loved and was an exceptional husband to Sylvia, and was an outstanding professor at Ravenwood. In the end, his own inability to cope with loss led him down a path of darkness and insanity, losing everything he didn't even realize he had left.

->'''Magic School:''' Death

Morganthe is a malicious and powerful sorceress who acts as the BigBad of the second StoryArc. Born in Avalon, she learned mighty magic studying under King Artorius' court wizard, Merle Ambrose. Journeying with Ambrose to Wizard City, she became one of Ravenwood's most promising students, but was expelled for practicing forbidden magic and nearly causing the city to fall into the Void. Humiliated and betrayed, the young Morganthe wandered to the lost world of Khrysalis, earning the allegiance through cleverness or fear of its denizens. As she grew in age, she grew in power, committing great acts of evil and darkness in the name of her new kingdom, the Shadow Web.

She is first mentioned in Celestia as the cause of the world's destruction-- she brought down the Celestians in a bid to take their Astral Magic for her own. After the Wizard rescues Thurston Plunkett and his expedition in Celestia, she reveals herself and her plan: Use the Astral Magic to fulfil the ancient Grand Prophecy and remake the Spiral in her image. The player chases her through the worlds, but keeps falling one step behind as the Grand Prophecy nears completion. Finally, with the help of the Council of Light and the mysterious being known as Old Cob, the Wizard confronts Morganthe in her Shadow Palace [[spoiler:and defeats her, breaking her spells and pulling her forever into the Void between the Worlds]].

* ThatOneBoss: [[invoked]] While the final confrontation in Khrysalis is challenging, the Young Morganthe battle in Ghost Avalon is notoriously difficult due to her unpredictable attack patterns and cheats.

Freed from imprisonment by the Wizard in the forsaken depths of Khrysalis, the mysterious being known as Old Cob aids the Wizard in their quest to defeat Morganthe. At the end of the Khrysalis questline, he [[FaceHeelTurn betrays the Wizard,]] revealing himself as the [[spoiler:Primordial god of shadow, Grandfather Spider]]. Free from his prison, he and [[spoiler:his children]] launch an assault on the worlds of the Spiral, working with the shadowy and elusive Cabal to bring about and end to the universe itself. An insanely powerful and intelligent entity, Old Cob represents the strongest and most dangerous threat the Wizard, and the Spiral itself, has ever seen.
----
* AffablyEvil: States several times that he considers the Wizard a friend, and only engages in conflict with them because they're refusing to stop interfering in his business. Compared to the previous two arc villains, he has many more bits of humorous and witty dialogue. Don't let it all fool you, though-- he's much more dangerous and powerful than he lets on, and his [[TheChessmaster plans are numerous, ancient and infinitely complex.]]
* ArchEnemy: [[spoiler:Grandmother Raven,]] who broke his heart and went against his wishes [[spoiler:when she created the Spiral.]]
* BigBad: Of the third story arc. He's also the BiggerBad of Polaris, Mirage, and Empyrea. [[spoiler: As of the end of Empyrea Act One, it looks like he may be sharing the role with Raven.]]
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Justified in that he's a [[spoiler:[[EldritchAbomination Primordial]]]]. His true endgame, and even the purpose of his actions, are mostly unknown to the Wizard, but his schemes over the course of Polaris and Mirage fit him squarely into the 'villain' category.
* TheCorrupter: To Morganthe, and the Duck of Death in Pirate101. He's also heavily suggested to have had a role in Malistaire's descent into madness.
* CurbStompBattle: Destroys Overlord Xerxes' '''entire army''' with one quick spell. It's implied that he was only defeated in Mirage because he was holding back out of subconscious respect for the Wizard, plus the sands of time being messed up threw a wrench in the works, and even that was basically a tie.
* DeadpanSnarker: A lot of his dialogue with the Wizard, post-Khrysalis, falls into this category. At certain moments, he drops the act completely, becoming almost [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness ominously serious]]. [[spoiler:You can practically ''feel'' him shift his tone from Old Cob to the primordial Grandfather Spider.]]
* [[spoiler:EldritchAbomination]]: [[spoiler:At the end of Khrysalis, he is revealed as Grandfather Spider, one of the three Primordials that shaped the Spiral. While he appears in a (relatively) humanoid form ingame, he's consistently depicted as a colossal, shadowy spider by the Luphilim Oracles' images.]]
* EvilSoundsDeep: His voice actor does an exceptional job at this.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Of the ''entire Spiral'', spanning both Wizard101 and its sister game Pirate101.
* RuleOfThree: Is one of the three [[spoiler:Primordials, along with Grandfather Tree and Grandmother Raven]].
* SealedEvilInACan: Locked in the [[TailorMadePrison Black Hole]] in the depths of Khrysalis by Grandmother Raven. Even the [[AlwaysChaoticEvil Umbra Legion]] is ''terrified'' of the Thing in the Pit. Taylor Coleridge tricks the Wizard into releasing him towards the end of the second arc.
* StoneWall: When fought in the Sands of Time, he has ''99,999'' health (he would have had 100k, but the [[UpToEleven game's engine couldn't handle that number at the time.]]) Multiply that with resistance to every school but Myth, and you get one houston of a tank. He was considered the most difficult main-quest boss until the release of Empyrea-- and as the plot implies he was handicapping himself, a second, even more challenging battle is likely on the way.

->'''Magic School:''' Shadow

An ancient warlord who once ruled over all Mirage, Overlord Xerxes has been unwittingly reanimated by the Chronomancers and has returned to retake his lost empire.

[[folder:Grandfather Tree]]
!!Grandfather Tree
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bartlebyw101.jpg]]
->'''Magic School:''' Unknown

Grandfather Tree, nicknamed "Bartleby" by Merle Ambrose, is the eldest of the Primordials and creator of the Spiral. Despite his unfathomable power, the vast majority of his energy is spent holding the Spiral together from his place at its center, leaving him tired and unable to intervene in mortal affairs. When Merle Ambrose journeyed from Avalon to Bartleby's island at the heart of the Spiral, he built his magic school there due to its proximity to Tree, and the two have become unlikely friends.
----
* [[BarrierMaiden Barrier Tree]]: His power and concentration combined with the energy of the Chaos Heart is what keeps the worlds of the Spiral from falling into the Void.
* HeroicFatigue: His main personality trait, due to his situation. In his rare interactions with the Wizard, he often speaks of how tired he is, and his bark has formed into ExhaustedEyeBags.
* PhysicalGod: In a world full of {{MacGuffin}}s, {{Doomsday Device}}s, and RealityWarper wizards, the buck stops at Grandfather Tree. He is the first of the Primordials, and has power which hypothetically exceeds that of Raven and Spider combined. Although he can't directly intervene in Spiral affairs, he singlehandedly maintains the Spiral Thread that keeps the worlds from the Void. Only the [[EldritchAbomination Titans]] exceed him in raw power.
* PortalNetwork: His energy fuels the Stormgates that allow travel between the Spiral's worlds. Ancient wizards tapped into that magic to create the World Doors, which improve the system by making the process instantaneous. To honor Tree, Wizard City's world door lies within him, making him a living HubLevel.
* {{Woobie}}: Despite being, essentially, the Spiral's equivalent of God, the constant energy required to maintain the Spiral leaves him perpetually tired and unable to interact with his children's lives, instead simply standing inert at the center of Wizard City. On top of this, one of his eyes was stolen by Malistaire after the game's events, and he's infected with disease following the Wizard's graduation (he recovers from both, however.)

* {{Adorkable}}: He surprisingly has shades of this; his lair is a good example, along with his various puns and jokes during Sepidious.

At the end of Polaris, she is enrolled to Ravenwood where she joins the Life School and helps you fight Grandfather Spider during Mirage. After the fight is finished, it's revealed that she is actually [[spoiler: Grandmother Raven's daughter and was sent to finish off Spider, as Raven knew you wouldn't be able to.

During Empyrea part 1, you manage to get to her, but Bat nearly kills her and she is currently unconscious.]]

She's revealed to be [[spoiler: a part of Raven's plan to end the Spiral, leaving one the two of them.]]

* {{Expy}}: He and Empyrea's second quarter as a whole are one to [[ComicBook/Batman Batman]].

* TheBeautifulElite: The game notes that Fire wizards tend to be very attractive. The fact that they are one of the more powerful wizards regarding health, mana, and attack strength adds to this.
