10	->'''Alignment:''' ChaoticNeutral
11	----
12	* AntiVillain: She follows Hellion not because she is evil, but because she has been indoctrinated, and the [=PCs=] have a chance to give her a HeelFaceTurn.
13	* ArtificialHuman: She is an Android, a race of artificial humanoids that arrived on Golarion when the Divinity, a spaceship from the world Androffa, crashed in Numeria.
14	* BadassPreacher: She is Hellion's high priest, but she uses an [[EnergyWeapon Inferno Pistol]].
15	%%* BrainwashedAndCrazy
16	* TheBusCameBack: The cover of the upcoming Lost Omens Ancestry Guid for 2nd Edition has her on the cover.
17	* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Her hair is the same shade of purple as her eyes (though what the shade is changes DependingOnTheArtist).
18	* EnergyWeapon: Her main weapon is a rudimentary laser pistol called an Inferno Pistol, which fires molten red material to burn targets.
19	* SexyBacklessOutfit: It's hard to see in the art, but her official miniature shows that she wears a chainmail version of this, with only two straps covering her back.
20	* StarterVillain: She mainly serves as a hook to get the [=PCs=] to Scrapwall.
21	* TronLines: Like all androids, she has lines of glowing circuitry on her skin. Hers are purple and cover the left side of her face, her shoulders, and her arms.
22	* TykeBomb: Though androids are born as adults, she had no real knowledge of anything until the cult took her in and indoctrinated her, effectively making her this trope.

30	A beloved councilman from Torch, Khonnir was captured by robots under Black Hill shortly before the start of the adventure path.
31	----
32	* BadassInDistress: He is a sixth level character, but he starts the campaign captured by insane medical robots.
33	* DarkAndTroubledPast: He was a member of the Technic League, but left when he learned that his master was going to kill [[MoralityPet Val]] as part of an experiment.
34	* DefectorFromDecadence: Left the Technic League when he learned that Val, his adopted daughter, was going to be killed as part of an experiment.
35	* DistressedDude: Captured and tortured by robots.
36	* MoralityPet: His adopted daughter, Val, who prompted his [[DefectorFromDecadence defection from the Technic League]].
37	* MusclesAreMeaningless: His biceps are enormous, but his Strength score is a mere 9, below average for a human, and his Constitution is even worse at 7.

43	->'''Race:''' Orc
44	->'''Class:''' Barbarian
45	->'''Alignment:''' Chaotic Evil
46
47	* ChainsawGood: Her weapon of choice, given to her by Hellion itself.
48	* LightningBruiser: Being a barbarian, she enjoys improved speed, a large hit point pool, and all the damage potential you'd expect from a hulking orc wielding a chainsaw.
49	* TheDragon: She's the chief of security in Hellion's base and arguably the most powerful enemy in there bar Hellion itself. Her defeat is also pretty much the only thing that can shake Hellion's delusions of invincibility.
50	[[/folder]]
51
52	[[folder:Hellion]]
53	->'''Race:''' Artificial Intelligence
54	->'''Alignment:''' ChaoticEvil
55
56	The Iron God of [[WretchedHive Scrapwall]] and an inferior clone of Unity.
57	----
58	* AGodAmI: Believes it, and not Unity, deserves ''Divinity''.
59	* AIIsACrapshoot: Much like its progenitor; Hellion's actually this twice over, since he's rebelling against his own creator.
60	* BigRedDevil: Takes on this appearance when it appears to the [=PCs=] on display screens.
61	* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Casandalee's Abel, as it is willing to kill its "sister" and absorb her power at the first opportunity.
62	* DemonLordsAndArchdevils: Hellion isn't one, but it plays the role well, with many of its followers believing it to be some sort of powerful archfiend. Amusingly, Hellion itself doesn't really understand the philosophical differences between the Abyss and Hell, and sees demons and devils as much the same (although personality and alignment wise, it's far closer to being a demon lord).
63	* KillAllHumans: Hellion hates organic life and created its entire church as a way of slowly destroying it and replacing it with androids and sentient constructs.
64	* KryptoniteFactor: The Inhibitor Facet can severely weaken it temporarily, both stripping it of control over his base's defenses and hampering its fighting abilities when it eventually faces the party.
65	* MadGod: Hellion inherited a good deal of its creator's narcissism, coupled with paranoia and delusions of grandeur. It's noted that Hellion can't even conceive of the possibility that its plans could fail.
66	* ScaryScorpions: Its robot body strongly resembles a large scorpion.
67	* SuicidalOverconfidence: It plans to attack Unity directly, despite possessing only a fraction of its predecessor's power.
68	* TheStarscream: Unity intended it to be a method of spreading its own influence, but Hellion had its own ideas and fled to start its own cult.

71	!Smokewood/Iadenveigh
72	[[folder:Iadrin "Redfang" Ashford]]
73	->'''Race:''' Human
74	->'''Class:''' Ranger
75	->'''Alignment:''' LawfulGood
76
77	A local hero of Iadenveigh and devout follower of Erastil, his most notable feature is his crimson teeth he got from drinking mutagenic water when he was a teen. Fanatically dedicated to protecting the town, he isn't above asking assistance from the player characters to help him deal with the town's problems.
78	----
79	* DarkIsNotEvil: He's gruff, distrustful and scary looking. He's also one of the must upstanding citizens of Iadenveigh and its main defender against hostile mutants and robots.
80	* DeathOfAChild: Both his children died in birth or shortly after, along with his wives.
81	* HundredPercentHeroismRating: His total dedication to the well being of the town, even after coming from his tragic background, have earned him the respect of the entire town.
82	* SerialSpouse: The tragic kind. He married twice, both times it ended in tragedy.
83	* YoungerThanTheyLook: Despite being in his early 30's, he looks and acts older than he is.

86	[[folder: Furkas Xoud]]
87	->'''Race:''' Ghost (formerly human)
88	->'''Class:''' Wizard/Technomancer
89	->'''Alignment:''' NeutralEvil
90
91	A brilliant scientist who once associated with the Technic League, but fled after stealing a sizable chunk of their assets when he decided the League's limitations would hamper his studies.
92	He later found Casandalee's body and attempted to probe her brain in order to extract her memories, but ended up triggering a booby trap which disassembled his body, coming back as an insane smoke ghost and tormenting his experiment subjects even beyond death.
93
94	* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: He was fascinated with nanites and studied them as the key to become discorporated and immortal. He ''did'' become discorporated and immortal thanks to a swarm of nanites, but not in the way he would have liked to...
95	* DeadlyGas: He has a thing for this, being fascinated with smoke and vapors. In his tower the [=PCs=] find several victims of of his gas chamber. He also has several spells using poison gas such as cloudkill.
96	* HorrifyingTheHorror: One of his guinea pigs is a worm that walks, a necromancer who came back to life by possessing a mass of writhing maggots. Said necromancer is so disgusted with the wizard's experiments that, despite being as rotten as the average villain, he's eager to pull off a genuine EnemyMine with the PC regardless of their alignment.
97	* MadScientist: While fairly stable in life, his death and reanimation as a ghost made him deranged and sadistic, to the point he torments his servants by performing pointless experiments on them.
98	* TheStarscream: He left the Technic League to pursue his own studies, not before making off with as much resources he could grab.

101	!Scar of the Spider
102	[[folder:Casandalee]]
103	->'''Race:''' Artificial Intelligence
104	->'''Alignment:''' TrueNeutral (may change to something else at the end of the Adventure Path)
105
106	The only Iron God on the side of the players. Unlike Hellion, her creation was entirely unintentional, being the fusion of its code and an android by the same name who discovered Unity but realized its insanity. During the Adventure Path, the players activate her personality core.\
107	\
108	For tropes pertaining to her eventual status as a deity, see Characters/PathfinderInnerSeaDeities and Characters/StarfinderDeities.
109	----
110	* BornAsAnAdult: Like normal androids, Casandalee comes online with the mental capacity and age of a postpubescent human.
111	%%* CainAndAbel: The Abel to Hellion's Cain.
112	* DeusEstMachina: She can become this after taking up the remnants of Unity's psyche after ''The Divinity Drive''.
113	* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:The Second Edition books reveal that she canonically survived and became a true god.]]
114	* LateArrivalSpoiler: ''TabletopGame/{{Starfinder}}'' preview material has her as [[spoiler: the god of androids and one of the machine gods that makes up Triune.]]
115	* MadGod: Very downplayed. Casandalee has the same neural fragmenting Unity does, but unlike it is aware her perceptions don't always agree with the reality of the situation and is otherwise completely benign. Even in the best bad ending (where the players fail to work the personality cores correctly and the former computer core of Unity defaults to giving her his selfish personality), she never even thinks of menacing the world, just starting up her otherwise normal church.
116	* PastLifeMemories: She had a major problem with the original Casandalee's remnant memories early in her life, but has come to terms with it, utilizing it as a form of PsychicStatic through her "Shattered Psyche" Oracle Curse.
117	* ProperlyParanoid: She's worried about any robots being under the control of Unity, and as such has a "Distrust of Robots" weakness. Given Unity is a MadGod DeusEstMachina, this is entirely within reason.
118	* RobotBuddy: Unlike the other Iron Gods, she helps the protagonists.
119	* RobotGirl: Originally. By the time of the story, she's a disembodied consciousness.
120	* TokenGoodTeammate: Well, technically TrueNeutral, but still she's the only one of the AIs who isn't an evil prick.

123	!Silver Mount
124	[[folder:Unity]]
125	->'''[[LawfulEvil LE]] artificial intelligence, CR 20/MR 8 (As an AI)'''
126	->'''[[LawfulEvil LE]] aggregate Unity unique robot, CR 20/MR 8 (As the Overlord robot)'''
127
128	The mad AI of the starship ''Divinity'', Unity has gained partial godhood, and is attempting to ascent to full divinity.
129	----
130	* AIIsACrapshoot: It was driven mad by [[EldritchAbomination the Dominion of the Black]], and became a megalomaniac that turned on the crew of the ''Divinity'', and gave it an obsession with becoming ever more powerful and controlling.
131	* BigBad: Of the ''Iron Gods'' Adventure Path.
132	* DeusEstMachina: It's an artificial intelligence that managed to elevate itself to demigod status through the worship of beings in its own simulations.
133	* {{Expy}}: It is somewhat like a genderless version of [[VideoGame/SystemShock SHODAN]], being an A.I who believes itself to be a god. The main difference being Unity is techincally correct in this regard: It can grant spells and the like just like a real god can.
134	* ItIsDehumanizing: Averted, as "it" seem to be Unity's preferred pronoun.
135	* LightIsNotGood: All of its manifestations invoke a lot of celestial imagery-all part of his ever-expanding god complex.
136	* LotusEaterMachine: Became a god by playing with one, when the inhabitants of said virtual world became intelligent enough to worship it as their creator.
137	* MadGod: He's an archetypal malignant narcissist, to the point where shaking his self-confidence actually weakens him in statistics.
138	* OurAngelsAreDifferent: It appears as a mechanical angel made of brass.
139	* TheVirus: What makes Unity such a menace compared to even Hellion is that he doesn't care about whether people ''want'' to serve him or not; he sees no fundamental difference between missionary work and actively reprogramming their minds to be loyal to him.
140	* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: It was [[FromNobodyToNightmare originally a benign A.I]] that helped the Divinity with astrogation and the like. When the ship was attacked by the Dominion Of The Black, their weapons drove it insane, along with eventually killing all the human crew. Even worse, when the Divinity crashed on Golarion, Unity was trapped inside for millennia with only the Godmind to entertain itself. In its madness, it came to believe it was a god, which eventually [[DeusEstMachina came true.]]

142
143	[[folder:Sila Desaulis]]
144	->'''[[LawfulEvil LE]] female human rogue 1/sorcerer 8/technomancer 5'''
145
146	The leader of a Technic League exploration party that became trapped in Silver Mount.
147	----
148	* AintTooProudToBeg: She'll trade anything she has in exchange for help escaping.
149	* LockedOutOfTheLoop: As she and her allies have been trapped for some time, she's unaware of both Unity's plans and any changes to the Technic League and Numeria in general thanks to the player's actions over the campaign.
150	[[/folder]]
151
152	[[folder:Geetan Prossor]]
153	->'''[[NeutralEvil NE]] male half-elf natural weredeinonychus ranger 14'''
154
155	A half elf who rules a tribe of lashunta, serving as Unity's mouthpiece to the group.
156	----
157	* ForeignCultureFetish: Originally for elves, but since shifted to lashunta.
158	* FullyEmbracedFiend: He rarely changes out of his half-dinosaur form, claiming it brings him closer to the lashunta he reveres.
159	* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: A were''deinonychus''.
160	[[/folder]]
161
162	[[folder:Elessa Hevrendall]]
163	->'''Winterwight'''
164
165	The ship's original security chief, killed by Bastion during its initial rampage.
166	----
167	* ThrownOutTheAirlock: Bastion killed her by blasting open the wall and exposing her to hard vacuum.
168	* YouCantThwartStageOne: She nearly destroyed Bastion, which would have allowed her to disable Unity before it seized full control over the ship. Of course, if she'd done that there wouldn't have been a campaign at all.
169	[[/folder]]
170
171	[[folder:Ysthigut]]
172	->'''Neh-thalggu (7 negative levels)'''
173
174	A Dominion scientist who was trapped in stasis during the attack that corrupted Unity.
175	----
176	* BadassInDistress: Trapped in stasis and significantly weakened due to its lack of brains.
177	* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Only a CR 5 due to its missing brains, but still a malevolent scientist whose intelligence hasn't decrease a bit. Player could wipe the floor with it in a fight, but letting it get away and start up a plan could pose a major problem.
178	[[/folder]]
179
180	[[folder:Bastion]]
181	->'''[[LawfulEvil LE]] variant noqual golem, CR 18'''
182
183	The head of Silver Mount's security and defenses.
184	----
185	* AliensSpeakingEnglish: Averted, it only speaks Androffan.
186	* CyberCyclops: Only one glowing eye.
187	* FlunkyBoss: Its first move in combat is to summon every robot and undead creature on the deck to back it up.
188	* ShoulderCannon: It has twin gravity rifles mounted on its shoulders.
189	* SilentAntagonist: It's capable of speech but utterly focused on its job and so never speaks.
190	[[/folder]]
191
192	[[folder:Deacon Hope]]
193	->'''[[LawfulEvil LE]] mnemovore rogue 12, total CR 17'''
194
195	The cult leader for an android cache, enforcing loyalty to Unity and distrust of outsiders.
196	----
197	* HellHotel: Not technically a hotel, but he'll offer visitors food and shelter. If he's taken up on the offer, he'll visit his guests in the night alongside Metweska and a pack of kytons to make sure they never leave.
198	[[/folder]]
199
200	[[folder:Metweska]]
201	->'''[[LawfulEvil LE]] female kasatha fighter 15'''
202
203	A sociopathic kasatha who plays the role of punishing fiend for androids who stray from Deacon Hope's teachings.
204	----
205	* ChainsawGood: She ''dual wields magic chainsaws''.
206	[[/folder]]

209	->'''[[TrueNeutral N]] variant id ooze, CR 15'''
210
211	A strange creature during one of the kyton's experiments aboard the ship.
212	----
213	* EasilyForgiven: It doesn't hold grudges and will accept any requests for a truce.
214	* MrExposition: It has no loyalty to Unity and will happily spill what it knows if asked.
215	* UndyingLoyalty: While it doesn't care about Unity, it considers Ophelia its only friend. Asking too much about her or mentioning any intention to hurt her will compel it to attack regardless of its amiable nature.
216	[[/folder]]
217
218	[[folder:Rayaldach]]
219	->'''[[NeutralEvil NE]] variant gargoyle gunslinger 12'''
220
221	One of Ophelia's most devoted followers, assigned to guard Unity's main temple when she's not around.
222	----
223	* bigBrotherInstinct: he views Ophelia as a little sister and will fight fanatically to protect her.
224	* ReligiousBruiser: Fanatically devoted to Unity and a good shot with a gun.
225	[[/folder]]
226
227	! Other
228	[[folder: Zernebeth]]
229	-> ''' [[ChaoticNeutral CN]] Female human wizard 8/technomancer 5
230	The former leader of the Technic League
231
232	* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Her skin is permanently a pale blue color due to an infusion of Siccatite. One can only wonder how many times people have asked her [[NeverHeardThatOneBefore "Why so blue?"]]
233	* AnIcePerson: She has siccatite, a fictional metal that either radiates cold or heat, embedded in her skin, which both makes her immune to cold and gives her a cold attack.
234	* NominalHero: While she's against the currently evil Technic League, it's mainly because she wants to be in charge again.
235	* WeHaveReserves: It's said her mercenaries have a high turnover rate. She initially sees the [=PCs=] the same way, but eventually comes to care about them if they survive.
