7
8	!! No One
9	No is a Warforged Barbarian originally created by Inistina Sanguine, a Wizard and proprietess of the Cyran Tea Company. After breaking with Inistina he joined up with a Mercenary band called The Spyte of Darkness and became the lover of Kolero, the band’s Tiefling leader, until they were killed in an ambush that left him the sole survivor. No rarely speaks, instead mainly relying on Drow Sign Language to communicate.
10	* ChildrenInTow: How No ends up with four ducklings who imprint on him, because he resembles their mother (a black [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscovy_duck Muscovy duck]] with similar coloration).
11	* ElectiveMute: No can speak, but he usually doesn't, and instead uses drow sign. When he does speak out loud it has TheSilentBob effect.
12	* TheLostLenore: Kolero, his former lover who died along with the rest of The Spyte of Darkness.
13	* OverlyLongTongue: As they discovered on their trip to The Suburra. This along with giving the lady he spent the evening with gold instead of silver has made him ''very'' popular.
14	* TwiceShy: With Salome, to the point even Kolero's ghost tells him to stop beating around the bush.
15
16	!! Rolen
17	Rolen is a half-elf Barbarian who is "courting" (his words) The Raven Queen. He's been accepted by her and is still trying to figure out just what his new role as her Hexblade means.
18	* HopelessSuitor: What the rest of the party thinks he is to The Raven Queen. Her own opinion on it remains to be seen.
19	* PowerTattoo: He gains The Raven Queen's symbol on his shoulder after forming his contract with her.
20	* SinisterScythe: His pact weapon is a giant scythe with a rusty blade.
21
22	!! Salome
23	Salome is a half-elf Arcane Trickster who has been very tight-lipped about her past, though it was clearly not a happy one. She’s salty and sarcastic but slowly warming up to the others as time goes on.
24	* FacialMarkings: She has a marking that resembles a lotus on her forehead.
25	* HeroicBSOD: She doesn't take being subjected to Sayyida's ''dominate person'' well at all. Humorously, she also goes into one after sampling one of Rolen's hallucinogenic mushrooms and suffers complete ego death for about an hour.
26	* {{Tsundere}}: A classic case.
27
28	!! Tris
29	T'risqualyn Aleanep, also known as Tris, is from a wealthy drow family and an Eldritch Knight. Despite her background she views others as equals and tries to treat everyone fairly.
30	* NoblewomansLaugh: One of the things she demonstrates when making fun of Rolen.
31	* PintSizedPowerHouse: She's five foot nothing but manages to shame Ramzan, a six foot tall half-orc for attempting to mug Rix.
32	* SpoiledSweet: Her wealth is pretty obvious compared to the others, but she's also a genuinely sweet person.
33
34	!! Rix
35	A Baltra Lizardfolk Cleric of Semuanya, he joins the party as part of his quest to see the world and try as many foods as he can.
36	* ExtremeOmnivore: Part of his personal journey is to sample as many foods as possible, so he's not picky.
37	* LizardFolk: He's a Baltra, a native species to Raetia.
38
39	!! Cinnamon
40	A unique, sweet smelling Pseudodragon found in Krampus' realm that attached herself to Salome and became her familiar.
41	* {{Expy}}: She's basically [[WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch Stitch]] in Pseudodragon form.
42	* LazyBum: She was supposed to be Krampus's letter carrier, but they found her sleeping in the forest skipping work.
43
44	!! Dasher
45	One of Krampus' reindeer, Tris befriended her during their fight and she became Tris' flying mount.
46	* DarkIsNotEvil: She's mostly black with bony spikes along her back and a skull for a face, but she's actually gentle and a little skittish.
47	[[/folder]]
48
49	[[folder:Vampire Hunters]]
50	Two of these characters originated from ''Roleplay/FellowshipOfTheRaven'', but have ended up in Raetia to continue their story 10 years after the defeat of Strahd von Zarovich.
51
52	!! Ireena Kolyana
53	A mysterious young woman who appeared in Raetia three years ago, Ireena published a book about hunting vampires that has earned her a reputation as a vampire hunter and made her the go-to expert on undead in the region. Quiet and guarded, few people know exactly how she knows what she does. She calls herself both a Cleric of Lathander and a Paladin of the Order of Vengeance.
54
55	* HeroicRROD: Her boon from Lathander has some pretty big drawbacks, and results in her coughing up blood, among other things.
56	* MysteriousPast: Though people who've read FOTR know what her deal is, in-game Ireena is very cagey about her past.
57	* OlderAndWiser: She was 18 in FOTR but is 28 here, and while she can still get emotional is a lot more mature.
58	* NoSell: The Leanansidhe's Charm fails completely on her, which pisses her off, due to certain events in FOTR.
59	* PintSizedPowerhouse: Ireena is all of 5'2", but carries a greataxe almost as tall as she is.
60	* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: One of her boons from Lathander gives her this, allowing her to turn her blood into liquid sunlight, which is bad news for any vampires trying to suck her blood. Doubles as RegretEatingMe as she immediately declares to the Leanansidhe if she wants her blood she can have it and throws it in her face.
61
62	!! Little Boy
63	Ireena's summoned Paladin mount, a red haired warhorse. Being a Celestial, he's far smarter than a regular horse.
64
65	* BondCreatures: As a summoned mount he's this.
66	* CoolHorse
67	* RoadApples: When Rolen tries to communicate with him, he lifts his tail up and drops a giant turd.
68	* SapientSteed: He's not capable of speech, but he manages to communicate otherwise, and his Intelligence score is actually higher than No's, meaning he's as smart as an average human.
69
70	!! Yevgeny Pavlovich
71	Yevgeny "Zheyna" Pavlovich describes himself as having two skills: Noticing things and shooting things. Preferably in that order. Blunt and sarcastic, he seems to know Ireena from their mutual past but is just as tight lipped as she is about it, and isn't entirely thrilled to realize he's effectively become the babysitter to a new group of adventurers since it's now his job to keep them alive.
72
73	* ComicBookFantasyCasting: He's pretty much a slightly older version of Creator/JeromeFlynn, specifically as [[Series/GameOfThrones Bronn]]. His letter to the rest of the Fellowship has him amazed at "The God of Tits and Wine" (Sharess) as a callback to this.
74	* CoolUncle: He doesn't like being referred to as "dad" (since he went out of his way to avoid having biological children) but he'll accept being referred to as an uncle.
75	* EthicalSlut: Just like he was in FOTR, here he's got several women he sees regularly who all know about each other and is on a first name basis with multiple people in The Suburra.
76	* FriendlySniper: After he warms up to the group he becomes their neighborhood friendly sniper man.
77	* RealMenWearPink: When No is making flower crowns Yevgeny asks for one since he's very secure in his masculinity and wears it the entire time they're at Lake Alcmene.
78
79	!! Abaraham Vasco
80	A fellow monster hunter Ireena met in her travels, she contacts Vasco to help the party after they encounter Tristan when he tries to abduct Camilla.
81
82	* {{Expy}}: He's pretty much [[{{VideoGame/Overwatch}} McCree]], except with crossbows instead of a gun..
83	* SmokingIsCool: Is almost always smoking a cigar.
84
85	!! Savana Velikova
86	Another transplant from FOTR and played by Savana's original player as a guest character.
87	* BadLiar: Osculates between this and good lies.
88
89	[[/folder]]
90
91	[[folder:Council Members]]
92
93	!! Lady Julia Carpates
94	Lady Julia Carpates III is the recognized ruler of Raetia and a Queen in all but name, since "Queen" has some negative connotations for those who have lived under Cassian rule in the past. Generally considered to a wise and fair ruler, she splits her time between Comvos and her home in Carpates. Her eldest daughter, known as Julia the Younger (Lia to her friends and family), is getting married in a few months.
95	* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Her profile picture is based directly on a picture of Creator/HelenMirren.
96	* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Though Ezra hasn't been confirmed to be dead he's assumed to be, and Lady Julia took the loss hard, especially after losing her husband only two years before.
97	* ParentsAsPeople: She clearly loves her children, but has neglected Camilla due to the pain of staying at their home in Carpates because of her husband's death and Ezra's disappearance.
98	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: The Lady Julia is well respected for this reason.
99	* UnevenHybrid: She's 1/8th Elven through her great grandfather, Peredur. She's functionally human but with a slightly unusual hair color, resistance to Charm effects and a chance to life longer than the human average.
100
101	!! Eamon Agravayne
102	Eamon Agravayne is a Paladin of the Crown and the leader of the Crownsguard. Known for his grating personality, Agravayne is nonetheless acknowledged as being an effective leader and is permanently off of Terrasyn Oleander's kill list, since while he is a pain in her ass he's reasonable and willing to work with her.
103	* GoodIsNotNice: He's one of the few Lawful Good characters in the setting and is very concerned with law and order and fairness, but even people who like him admit his personality is rather grating.
104	* LastNameBasis: Everyone calls him "Agravayne" with the exception of Terrasyn, who calls him Eamon specifically to threaten him.
105	* QueerEstablishingMoment: When they ask him about Dominic's accusation that he's sleeping with Lady Julia, he outright laughs and says he's not interested in anyone, outing himself as asexual.
106	* ToBeLawfulOrGood: He proves to be more the latter than the former when he intervenes at Johari being beaten by the Old Bone Mother. Even ''the DM'' was surprised at this.
107	* WeAreAsMayflies: Keladry, his second in command, mentions that he was first in the Crownsguard academy with her great-grandfather. He's 157 years old.
108
109	!! Tamra Copperscale
110	A Copper Dragonborn and the Knowledge Keeper at the Temple of Deneir, Raetia's largest library and a repository of the most knowledge on the continent. She's also Ireena Kolyana's lover.
111	* {{Bookworm}}: As the head Cleric of a Knowledge God this is a prerequisite.
112	* EncyclopaedicKnowledge: Part of her Knowledge Cleric package. What she doesn't know personally she can find out through her Channel Divinity Knowledge of the Ancients or through various spells.
113	* PrecisionFStrike: She's one of the nicest characters the party interacts with regularly, so it says a lot when she hears what the Leanansidhe did to Ireena and outright calls her [[CountryMatters a cunt]].
114
115	!! Hadi Muljana
116	The representative of the Baltra Lizardfolk who sits on the Council, Hadi is mainly concerned with the trade and fishing industries since they are his people's lifeblood.
117
118	!! Farai Okeke
119	Farai Okeke is the elected representative of the Barbarian tribes of Raetia, hailing from the Kilele tribe who make their home at the base of the Altan Mountains. Many members of his tribe have a touch of Celestial in their family tree, meaning many of them are Aasimar, as demonstrated by their golden eyes.
120	* ComicBookFantasyCasting: The image used for his profile is a picture of Creator/IdrisElba as Heimdall in ''Film/ThorRagnarok''.
121	* OurWerebeastsAreDifferent: He's [[spoiler:one of the Kilele's Leopard Men, granted to him by Nobanion]].
122	* SemiDivine: As an Aasimar, he has a small bit of Celestial in his family tree, demonstrated by his SupernaturalGoldEyes.
123
124	!! Savitri Satrapi
125	Savitri Satrapi is the half-elf leader of Merchant's Guild, a very powerful group of entrepreneurs and traders in Raetia. She is a survivor from the city of Jadwal, where a powerful Warlord tried to kill all the half elves in the city, but was rescued by a Loxodon trader named Dipali.
126	* HappilyAdopted: Dipali adopted her after she rescued her from the genocide in Jadwal.
127	* StoryboardBody: She has a stylized elephant's head on her arm, and explains that many of the children Dipali rescued got one and call themselves the Elephant's Children.
128
129	!! Minthe and Nikos Greenleaf
130	Two Halfling Archdruids in charge of Ariadne's Rest in the Foloi Forest.
131	* GoodParents: They're excellent parents to their adopted daughter Meliae, even modifying their house to better accommodate her.
132	[[/folder]]
133
134	[[folder:Other Important NPCs]]
135	!! Terrasyn Oleander
136	While there are plenty of rogues in Comvos, Terrasyn "Syn" Oleander is THE Rogue, sometimes called the Eighth Council Member, or, when she's not in earshot, Fry Face because of the large scar on the right side of her face. She's the unofficial head of Comvos' underworld and her reach is far and wide, as are her eyes. Follow her rules and you'll get along fine, but break them and you'll wish you'd never been born.
137	* {{Expy}}: The DM even calls her "[[Manga/BlackLagoon Tiefling Balalaika]]" occasionally, and one of Syn's nicknames is Fry Face.
138	* FloralThemeNaming: Her alias "[[spoiler:Nerium]]" is derived from the scientific name of the Oleander flower.
139	* ManipulativeBitch: Something [[https://theinsomniacsdnd.tumblr.com/post/174355479195/extra-scene-in-the-lions-den-agravayne-was-not Agravayne confronts her about]] in an extra scene, since she used No to take out Inistina and avoid getting her own hands dirty.
140	* SmokingIsCool: She's always seen smoking a giant cigar.
141	* TwoFaced: The right side of Syn's face is badly burned, which has led to the aforementioned Fry Face nickname.
142
143	!! Iskander
144	Iskander is the mysterious head Cleric of the Raven Queen's Temple in Comvos. A Shadar-Kai, or native of the Queen's native plane of The Shadowfell, he is ageless even by their standards.
145
146	!! Meliae Greenleaf
147	A Green Dragonborn Paladin of Silvanus who is the Emissary to the Archfey, Tam Lin.
148	* HappilyAdopted: By her parents, the Greenleafs, a pair of Halfling Druids.
149	* IrritationIsTheSincerestFormOfFlattery: To Ireena, much to the latter's dismay. Ireena had to talk her out of taking a Vengeance Oath because she couldn't figure out what she wanted to avenge. Instead she took an Ancients Oath.
150
151	!! Nicodemus
152	A very large, golden-retriever sized cat who lives in the Temple of Deneir. He just showed up out nowhere one day and no one is entirely sure what the story behind him or his unusual size, rumor has it he was once a witch's familiar.
153	* CatsAreMagic All attempts to magically communicate with him or magically analyze him have failed, and there's clearly more to him since he's been observed to spend time in a vacuum with no air with no ill effects.
154	* CatsAreSuperior: He walks around like he owns the Library, and is referred to as "Chief" by the Librarians, half-jokingly.
155	* MegaNeko: He's about the size of a golden retriever and has an extremely deep, guttural meow.
156
157	!! Brennan
158	A Tortle whose defining feature is that he's perpetually baked, he runs in a smoke shop in Lake Alcmene.
159	* KitschyLocalCommercial: His name comes from one from the New England area, mainly Brennan's Smoke Shop, well known for their radio commercials featuring the owner.
160	* TheStoner: The entire joke of his character.
161
162	!! Okilo
163	Okilo is the administrator of the town of Lake Alcmene and a well known sight as she bounces around making sure everything is running smoothly. Despite her quirks she's respected for her skills, even if she has a habit of randomly launching up into the air and landing on any nearby snakes to eat them. Also, watch out for the talons. They're no joke.
164	* AnimalJingoism: Hates snakes, because she's a Secretary Bird.
165	* BunnyEarsLawyer: She has her quirks but the people of Lake Alcmene respect her for keeping the town running efficiently.
166	* FurryReminder: Besides preening herself and puffing up her feathers, she has a tendency to fly up in the air, land on snakes and eat them when she sees them.
167	* ThirdPersonPerson: Sometimes call herself by her own name in the third person.
168
169	!! Stone Boy & Bone Boy
170	Two golems originally created by Inistina, a stone golem and bone golem respectively. After Inistina is killed Okilo adopts them as her assistants.
171	* TheHyena: The only vocalization Bone Boy can make is a rather disturbing laugh. Stone Boy can't talk at all.
172	* ReallyWasBornYesterday: Stone Boy is only a couple days old when they encounter him. Bone Boy is slightly older, but only by two months.
173
174	!! Chi'ome Badr'zill
175	A drow rogue sent by Tris' family to keep an eye on her.
176	* BornUnlucky: The apparent reason for her two Nat 1s.
177	* CriticalFailure: Twice over, the first revealing her location to Hassan, Syn's tail on the group, and the second revealing her to the entire group and forcing her to reveal her identity. Her Stealth modifier is actually pretty good (a +10) but a Nat 1 is a Nat 1.
178	* DatingCatwoman: Though her and Hassan aren't enemies, they work for different factions and were both tasked with following the party. After enough time together they fall in love and start a relationship.
179	* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: In her case [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mochizuki_Chiyome Chiyome Mochizuki]]. Her surname is from two Arabic words meaning "moon" and "shadow" respectively as a reference to her profession and the latter's historical reputation.
180
181	!! Hassan
182	A Tabaxi Rogue tasked by Terrasyn to shadow the party.
183	* BoxedCrook: How Terrasyn recruited him. He tried to steal from her organization, was caught, then offered a 5 year contact serving her to make up for it as opposed to getting turned in to the Crownsguard.
184	* DatingCatwoman: Though he and Chi'ome aren't enemies, they work for different factions and were both tasked with following the party. After enough time together they fall in love and start a relationship.
185	* FurryReminder: He's a Tabaxi, so his tail puffs up or his ears go flat if he's experiencing strong emotions.
186	* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Specifically [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hassan-i_Sabbah Hassan i Sabbah]], the founder of TheHashshashin.
187	* TheSneakyGuy: The main way Terrasyn uses him.
188
189	!! Johari
190	Johari is a Ahali Gnoll and the Shaman of the Black Paws Tribe. Concerned about the fate of her people, she left on her own to go to Comvos and beg Lady Juila for help, fearing that they will be genocided by the Vahsi or feral Gnolls if she didn't intervene.
191	* CrossCulturalKerfluffle: Among gnolls, getting up in someone's face and snarling at them is a standard way of reprimanding them. When she does it to Hadi it nearly results in violence until she backs off and apologizes.
192	* KukrisAreKool: She carries a kukri as her only weapon.
193	* WillingChanneler: Part of her duties as a shaman is to channel their God Gorellik.
194

198
199	!! Agus Atmajaja
200	A Baltra Lizardfolk and the only survivor of an attack by The Black Wind, he goes with the party to hunt the pirates down.
201	* DentedIron: He lost an eye to one of Sayyida's blades.
202	* ManBitesMan: As a Lizardfolk, he decides to do this after one of his blades bend when fighting Sayyida.
203	* SoMuchForStealth: When he pops up behind Sayyida to try and surprise attack her he accidentally hits himself with one of his blades, since he only has one eye.
204	* SurvivorsGuilt: When Sayyida uses a Fear spell on him he starts screaming that he can't watch everyone die again.
205
206	!! Madame Cheng
207	Cheng I Sao is a former pirate queen who took a deal to retire and now runs The Black Orchid, a gambling house in Port Margo.
208	* IronLady: She was known for running a very tight ship when she was active.
209	* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: She ''is'' [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ching_Shih Ching Shih]], a famous real life Chinese pirate, going by an alternate way of spelling her name.
210	* RetiredBadass: She's only in her 50s, but she was good enough at pirating that Grainne offered her the deal because it would spare the most lives.
211	* SignatureHeadgear: The merfolk know her as "the lady with the big hat."
212
213	!! Grainne Silvertooth
214	The regional commander of the Crownsguard in Port Margo.
215	* GirlsWithMoustaches: A bearded dwarf woman.
216	* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Like most of the characters in Port Margo, her name comes from a real life pirate. In her case [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_O%27Malley Grainne Ní Mháille]] (often anglicized as Grace O'Malley).
217
218	!! Aoife
219	A tabaxi who runs The Red Cat Inn in Port Margo, and an old acquaintance of No's.
220	* CatFolk: As a Tabaxi.
221	* GrievousBottleyHarm: Her usual method to stop fights before they start is to nail the offender in the head with a bottle from across the tavern. Best arm on the Storm Coast 17 years running.
222	* HairColorDissonance: Her Inn is called the Red Cat, but she's actually orange. She's aware of this but Red Cat simply rolls off the tongue better.
223
224	!! Bakirian
225	An ancient Copper Dragon and Tamra's ancestor.
226	* DramaPreservingHandicap: The out-of-game reason he has to roll for higher level spells is that he's the equivalent of an 18th level caster and could crush pretty much any enemy immediately.
227	* MoneyFetish: Like all dragons. He's found sleeping in a literal mountain of coins.
228	* LetsGetDangerous: While fighting the zombie hill giant he says "screw it" and shifts to full dragon form. In this form he does over 60 points of damage to the zombie on a single turn, and not even while using his acid breath (which does ''14d8 damage'') because he didn't want to catch anyone else in it.
229	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: He hasn't been seen for a couple decades because he believes he obliterated a burglar who tried to break into his cave, not realizing she was a young girl. [[spoiler:Finding out said girl was Terrasyn who is very much alive snaps him out of his funk]].
230	* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Laments this with his mortal descendants. More directly, [[spoiler:his daughter Aykut was killed by Alcmene and he was too late to help her.]]
231	* PapaWolf: The reason his fight with Alcmene was so brutal was because [[spoiler:Alcmene had just killed his daughter Aykut]].
232	* ScatterbrainedSenior: As a result of both his immense age and not being used to a humanoid form he has difficulty casting high level spells, and if he fails the check gets a roll on the Wild Magic table, which has resulted in things like him teleporting himself across the map, electrocuting his allies and casting Grease on himself.
233
234	!! Camilla Carpates
235	Lady Julia's youngest daughter, Camilla stays at the family's ancestral home of Carpates, a traditional position for the youngest child.
236	* RebelliousPrincess: She's frustrated being left alone in the castle while her family has lives elsewhere, but she's not ready to outright abandon it.
237	* SheCleansUpNicely: The party first meets Camilla in fencing gear. When she comes down to dinner in a red dress Rolen is left speechless at how beautiful she looks.
238	* StrongFamilyResemblance: Bakirian tells her she closely resembles her ancestor, Camorra, much to her surprise as she's been told she looks more like her late father than anyone on her mother's side.
239
240	!! Barca
241	Camilla's half-orc bodyguard, who was brought on after Ezra disappeared.
242
243	* BodyguardingABadass: Mostly because he's trained her himself, but Camilla is a pretty competent fighter.
244	* PapaWolf: He immediately rushes to get Camilla away from Tristan after Nawat goes to fetch him. Before he was hired, he also freed a noble's daughter who was being unknowingly transported as "cargo" by his mercenary group and then went to hunt down his former employer immediately.
245	* ParentalSubstitute: Since Immanuel died and Julia spends most of her time in Comvos he's effectively raised Camilla since she was 8 years old.
246
247	!! Tam Lin
248	Originally a human Knight, Tam Lin was abducted by the Archfey Titania and made into her consort against his will to spite Titani's husband Oberon. After Titania got back with Oberon Tam Lin wandered under he ended up in the Foloi Forest and eventually climbed his way up tot he position of Archfey himself. Based on [[Literature/TamLin that Tam Lin]].
249
250	* AnimalMotifs: He first appears to Savana from an illusion from a luna moth, one of his familiars.
251	* DisappearedDad: He laments he ended up being this to his own child, since Titania took him while his wife was pregnant. He never even found out if their kid was a boy or a girl.
252	* FirstGrayHair: Inverted, when he finds that he's not only growing facial hair again but has a few greys he's thrilled, since it means he's aging again.
253	* HornedHumanoid: Initially played straight, but it's actually a headdress and he hates it, saying how it's heavy and strains his neck.
254	* InvoluntaryShapeshifter: Titania turns him into a warhorse, a wolf, a lion, a giant snake and finally an Adolescent White Dragon as she tries to hold onto him.
255	* NakedOnArrival: After they manage to free him he's completely naked, so Rolen gives him some of his cold weather clothing.
256	* RummageSaleReject: In order to Rolen's borrowed clothes he goes to a thrift shop and the resulting gear is rather slapdash in appearance.
257	* WasOnceAMan: He was originally an ordinary human man.
258	* WhoWantsToLiveForever: He ''hates'' it, and that's why he contacts Savana to help break her contract so they both can get out from under Titania's thumb.
259
260	!! Dominic Wainwright
261	The Former Crownsguard Commander, he was forced to resign after refusing to investigate the disappearance of Ezra Carpates, and is now a washed up alcoholic.
262
263	* TheAlcoholic: While he already was a bit of one, after his wife died he really amped it up. Consequently his Constitution stat is his worst one.
264	* DeliberatelyBadExample: Dominic is basically what the DM ''though'' Agravayne would be like before [[IJustWriteTheThing the character had other ideas]]. Mainly a caustic asshole.
265	* FallenHero: He was actually a decent Commander, but the way he handled Ezra's disappearance spelled the end of his career.
266	* StoppedCaring: What his son and Agravayne think ultimately led to his decisions on Ezra's case. His wife was sick and dying, Ezra had already been missing for a week, and Dominic just didn't see the point of trying to find him since he thought Ezra was already dead.
267	[[/folder]]
268
269	[[folder:Antagonists]]
270
271	!! Inistina Sanguine

273	* AbusiveParent: To both No and her two other golems.
274	* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: She chain smokes, and the group finds ashtrays full of cigarettes in her office.
275	* MasterPoisoner: Her office in Comvos had a hidden room full of high quality poisons. She herself wore a Ring of Poison Detection because of her paranoia about falling victim to it herself.

306	* OhCrap: His reaction to seeing Bakirian go full Dragon, since he had already suspected something was up with the "Dragonborn" Wizard since he took a ''blight'' spell without even flinching but he didn't expect ''that''.

317	* SuccubiAndIncubi: She's essentially a succubus, luring (usually) men in with her charms and then drinking their blood and turning them into her thralls. She latches onto Rolen immediately for this reason.
318	* {{Tykebomb}}: Tam Lin speculates that Nimue sought out Ovid specifically to have a very powerful child she could use as a weapon. It blew up in Nimue's face when her daughter took her mother's lessons in treachery to heart and killed her instead.

339	* DealWithTheDevil: She contracted to a demon named Morax in exchange for power.

344	* ItIsDehumanizing: She never calls Edmund by name, only "Blade" because she doesn't consider him a person.
