Adonis
Human lover of Aphrodite and the leader of human rebels in Elysium.
- Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder: Can be played straight or averted, depending on the player's actions. If the player keeps things platonic or messes up the dialogue prompts with him, he will remain devoted to Aphrodite alone. However, if they pursue him successfully, he will admit to feeling conflicted between his love for Aphrodite and his blossoming feelings for the Eagle Bearer.
- Chick Magnet: Both Aphrodite and Persephone are head over heels in love with him. The Eagle Bearer can be as well, potentially.
- Friendship as Courtship: Unlike nearly every other Love Interest in the game where being very openly flirtatious will keep the relationship on track to romance, he responds negatively to outright flirtation. Given that he's already in love with Aphrodite and makes no secret of that, he views open flirting as an attempt on the part of the Eagle Bearer to seduce him away from her. Successfully romancing him requires choosing the less direct romantic dialogue which respects his and Aphrodite's relationship and portrays the Eagle Bearer as a quiet admirer without expectation of reciprocation.
- Gorgeous Greek: Just as he's famous for, the guy is ridiculously pretty.
- Karmic Transformation: If the Eagle Bearer tries to pursue romance with him, Persephone curses Adonis with burned skin and blind milky eyes for cheating on her and Aphrodite.
- "Not So Different" Remark: Both him and Persephone are imprisoned by a suitor they don't love as a vanity trophy. He points out the similarity in their situations during the final confrontation.
- Rebel Leader: Leads a rebellion against Persephone's rule in Elysium, both to free the minds of resident humans and to get out of what he considers a prison separating him from his beloved Aphrodite.
- Ungrateful Bastard: If the Eagle Bearer does everything to ensure the best outcome for him by assisting him and his rebellion, at the cost of making personal enemies out of Persephone, Hekate and Hermes along the way, then at the end of the Elysium questline Persephone will offer Adonis the chance to leave her kingdom unscathed, but warns that the Eagle Bearer will not be allowed to leave or get off so lightly. Adonis accepts this without hesitation and leaves with a brief request that Persephone not go "too hard" on their friend, without trying to ensure their safety or giving them so much as a thank you or farewell before he leaves them to their fate at Persephone's hands.
- Wife Husbandry: Gender-inverted. The game plays a bit coy with it, but implies enough to suggest his backstory roughly matches that of the original Greek mythology—which is that he was brought to Elysium as a baby to become Aphrodite's lover once he grew up, but when he grew up exceedingly handsome, Persephone also "fell in love" with him and refused to return him.
Kyros of Zarax
Kyros of Zarax
Protege and bodyguard of Pythagoras who now resides in Elysium.
- Carry a Big Stick: Wields a warhammer in a fight.
- Et Tu, Brute?: Has this reaction if the Eagle Bearer decides to attack him in order to trade his life for Leonidas' with Persephone."What are you doing?! We're family!"
- Family of Choice: Considers Pythagoras and his relations (which by extension includes the Eagle Bearer) this.
- The Infiltration: Agrees to serve as a bodyguard for Persephone on behalf of the human rebellion to gain valuable information.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: If the Eagle Bearer hands him over to Persephone alive, she has him dragged away. His fate after that is unclear, but not looking good.
Kolossi
Kolossi
Bronze statues that stand guard around the Isu domains, activating only when you engage in combat in their presence.- Achilles' Heel: They can be assassinated at any time when inert, so with a strong Assassin build you can eliminate them at your leisure. Just make sure the attack is critical, or else you'll have to fight it (including nearby Kolossi).
- Boss in Mook Clothing: They're deceptively skilled fighters that can string together long, often unblockable combos, can teleport away from your own attacks and blast you with a laser beam that is hard to dodge, and if you try to escape from them they'll just teleport to your location. As you'd expect from a bronze statue, they're quite durable as well. They are not to be taken lightly, so it's often best to stealthily clear out the area around them before taking them on.
- Dual Wielding: The ones in Atlantis wield a pair of knives.
- Living Statue: When inert, they look like harmless bronze statues in dramatic poses.
- Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: The ones found in the Underworld carry shields.
- Piñata Enemy: They drop a lot of drachmae and resources when killed. If you have a strong enough assassin build, stealth killing them is an easy way to gather resources.
- Savage Setpiece: As stated above, they'll ignore you unless you start a fight near them, or outright attack them first. They're effectively meant to increase the cost of getting spotted in guarded areas.
- Teleport Spam: They frequently teleport in battle, either to escape your attacks or to get up next to you.
Underworld
Hades
Hades
See his entry in Those Who Came Before. Charon
Charon
Servant and ferryman of Hades, Charon carries the souls of the deceased across the river Styx.
- Ambiguous Situation: Is he an Isu, a human changed by them to serve, or a being created by the simulation? It's not entirely clear. Layla's files state he's one, but he sure doesn't act like all the other Isu, and there's that habit of calling people "fleshlings".
- Black Eyes of Evil: Subverted. He has pitch black eyes, but is pretty amicable and reasonable, especially compared to his boss.
- Continuity Nod: Aside from the face, he's an exact match for the purchasable Charon from the Helix store.
- Don't Fear the Reaper: Also a case of Dark Is Not Evil. Charon is actually a fairly nice guy who genuinely seems to care about his passengers.
- Quest Giver: Serves as this for the Eagle Bearer, guiding them towards fixing the problems they have caused in the Underworld.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Is willing to let the souls whose coins were tossed into the Styx get across, even if Hades insists this is against the tradition.
- Unusual Euphemism: Calls mortals "fleshlings".
Cerberos
Cerberos
See its entry in Legendary Creatures. Fallen Guardians
Fallen Guardians
Four fallen heroes from the Greek Age of Heroes - Herakles, Agamemnon, Achilles, and Perseus - whom Hades tasks the Eagle Bearer with recruiting to guard the Gates of the Underworld after slaying Cerberos.
- Adaptational Dumbass: Herakles' description says he's not very intelligent. The mythological Herakles only managed to solve some of his Twelve Labors through unconventional thinking and problem solving skills.
- Blood Knight: Languishing in the Underworld did little to temper their appetite for battle. None of them will agree to guard Hades' gates unless you defeat them in combat first.
- Broken Ace: They were all denied glory in Elysium, and this affects them all to some degree: Achilles mopes in his cave, Agamemnon has little left outside of his delusions of grandeur, Herakles bides his time waiting for someone to challenge him, and Perseus prays to his father, Zeus, to save him from the Underworld.
- Challenge Seeker: Agamemnon at least is glad to meet someone wanting to fight him.
- Fallen Hero: Considering all of them save for Perseus are in Tartaros, the morally-questionable choices they made in life must have reflected poorly on Hades. Especially Agamemnon.
- Kneel Before Zod: Agamemnon demands the Eagle Bearer bow before him. The Eagle Bearer tells him to shove it.
- Malevolent Masked Man: Agamemnon is wearing a palette-swapped version of the Agamemnon's Helmet armor piece, which covers his actual face.
- Miniboss: Each hero has a powerful moveset inspired by their abilities in legend.
- Herakles has smash attacks powerful enough to drop large chunks of rubble from the ceiling onto your head, befitting the World's Strongest Man he was in legend.
- Agamemnon has a standard but effective sword-and-shield moveset with powerful sweeps and shield bashes, along with the ability to buff his sword with fire. As the only full mortal among the heroes, it makes sense his fighting style is the least flashy.
- Perseus has the Sandals of Hermes, the Helmet of Hades, and access to the Gorgon's laser attack.
- As the preeminent One-Man Army of the Trojan War, Achilles is a furious whirlwind of powerful spear combos. Thankfully, he's only really very tough as described in Homer's account of the Trojan War, and not the Nigh-Invulnerable superhuman described by Statius.
- Technicolor Eyes: Herakles, Perseus, and Achilles have inhumanly shiny blue irises, perhaps as a result of their Isu heritage.
- Worthy Opponent: Herakle's view of the Eagle Bearer.
Atlantis
Poseidon
Poseidon
See his entry in Those Who Came Before. Sons of Poseidon
In General
- Cool Crown: They're all wearing crownlike headbands which, while not as ostentatious as their dad's, look like stylized shark teeth.
- Dysfunctional Family: To say that they have their differences would be putting it very mildly. Highlights include Atlas planning to execute three of his brothers to expand his power, and later one of these brothers not giving a damn about Atlas' accidental death at the hands of the deceased's lover. Their relationship with their father also seems to be at bit strained.
- Massive Numbered Siblings: There are ten of them in total, though the player only meets three.
- Strong Family Resemblance: Their faces are a bit hit-and-miss, but they all share their father's cerulean eyes. You won't find this color on any other character in the game, making their ancestry immediately clear at a glance.
Atlas
See his entry in Those Who Came Before.Gadiros
- The Alcoholic: We meet him with a jug of wine in hand, slurring his speech.
- Bread and Circuses: It's his job.
- Humans Are Bastards: Thinks the humans of Atlantis will revolt unless kept pacified with a steady supply of entertainment, said entertainment being murder and blood sport.
- Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: If the Eagle Bearer doesn't go along with his blood sport, he decides that his experiment has failed and he'll have to start over. So he orders everyone in the arena murdered.
Ampheres
- Fantastic Racism: He might have an excuse for it, but he's still one of the most openly racist Isu to date, going so far as to call humans "animals".
- Good Scars, Evil Scars: Has some very nasty ones on the right side of his face from when he was attacked by humans.
- Morality Pet: His daughter was one for him.
- Papa Wolf: Humans killed his daughter and almost himself as well; in their sleep no less. Now he sees them as animals and is out for revenge.
Azaes
- The Medic: He's trying to find a cure for a plague running around Atlantis.
- Nice Guy: One of the nicest people the Eagle Bearer meets in Atlantis, and along with his father, Poseidon, in the running for one of the nicest Isu of all.
- Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: Sends the Eagle Bearer to find the prototype Shroud, even though testing it on humans is expressly forbidden. Doing so is the right choice, since it cures the plague.
Lyra
- Chekhov's Gunman: Initially appears in a small quest with no apparent significance. She then turns out to be one of Aita's experiments.
- Clear My Name: She insists she didn't commit the murders everyone's blaming her for. The Eagle Bearer finds out she did kill them, but not of her own free will.
- Driven to Suicide: She seriously considers committing suicide when she finds out what she is. The Eagle Bearer can talk her out of it.
- Flawed Prototype: One of the early experiments of Project Olympos, only she got lose.
- Morphic Resonance: Her necklace in human form, which is still visible on her head when she's a wolf.
- Our Werewolves Are Different: Aita turned her into a kind of werewolf. She turns into a wolf without knowing it (and either because of gameplay limitations or because she's not an actual werewolf, not at night.)
- Tested on Humans: One of Aita's Project Olympos experiments. She's doing a lot better than most of the people he experimented on.
- Yank the Dog's Chain: The Eagle Bearer can chose to spare her life, and if they do, they'll later find her locked up in Aita's lab again, where the Eagle Bearer can chose to save her and the other humans held captive, or let Aita kill them.
Melitta
- Cool Crown: Is wearing an impressive piece of shiny headgear.
- The Smart Girl: She's a scientist, and apparently a student of Minerva's, opposed to Neokles' experiments because she feels he's not thinking things through.
Elpis
- Accidental Murder: She fries Atlas to defend the Eagle Bearer from him, though she didn't mean to.
- Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke: She uses some Isu tech to make herself part-Isu.
- Interspecies Romance: She's Atlas' lover, though they have to keep it secret.
- Marriage of Convenience: She's trying to enter into one with Atlas in order to fulfill her political ambitions to soothe the tensions between humans and Isu in Atlantis. When asked if she is in love with him, however, she doesn't answer and states she's pretty sure Isu men don't fall in love in the first place, which is... telling about the nature of their romance.
- "Shaggy Dog" Story: She has the Eagle Bearer grab her some adamant so she can become part-Isu, in the hopes of lessening the tension between both species. Shortly after she does, Poseidon has to sink Atlantis.
- Ship Tease: The Eagle Bearer can't sleep with her but they can flirt with her and she is receptive to it. At the end of her quest chain, she kisses them on the cheek if they were previously flirty.
- You Kill It, You Bought It: After murdering Atlas, Azaes tells her she's got his job now.
