* TheChessmaster: Grainne spends the first book and a half as one, manipulating events through prophecies and called in favors to ensure that Sigmar lives to form his empire, and learns the lessons he needs to be the best emperor he can be. She even manages to set up her own murder in a way that allows Sigmar to free himself from Nagash's crown once he finds her body.

* FailureToSaveMurder: Gerreon believes that Sigmar did this to his twin brother, ordering him to die holding a hopeless position so Sigmar could claim all the glory for himself. In truth, it was simply the fortunes of war, with Sigmar's relief forces being just a hair too late for one specific member of the holding force.

* CharacterDevelopment: A more twisted and inverted example as ''The Sundering'' details Malekith going [[FaceHeelTurn from good to evil]] throughout the trilogy. Initially a noble, albeit ruthless and uncompromising general and politician for the High Elves, Malekith's various issues and getting manipulated by Morathi eventually culminates in him embracing his hatred and envy and establishing the Dark Elves. He also becomes more psychologically strategic and cunning, whilst retaining all of his combat prowess and military, though [[BrokenAce his emotional mindset is all but twisted and shattered]].

* InexplicablyAwesome: Grainne the swamp hag is the last member of a magical tradition never mentioned anywhere else in canon. Her powers seem to work completely differently from all other magic in the setting, and she has unique and extremely accurate precognitive abilities with enough precision to steer events in the desired course. She lacks the flashy combat and alteration spells of other mages, but within her speciality she puts the gods of the setting to shame.
