The Saga of the Noble Dead/Characters

Magiere:

 * Action Girl
 * Berserk Button: Don't bring up supersition in her presence- she was on the recieving end of too much of it. Also, her dhampir nature makes the presence of a vampire a major Berserk Button.
 * Broken Bird
 * Dark Is Not Evil
 * Dhampyr
 * Jerk With a Heart of Gold
 * Kuudere / Tsundere: Magiere's attitude is usually cool and businesslike. Anger is the most common emotion she does show. But she also has a softer side, though very few have seen it.
 * Eerie Pale Skinned Brunette
 * Super Powered Evil Side: Her dhampir nature.
 * Uncanny Valley: Her appearance in general is just a little...off.
 * Vampire Hunter: What she pretends to be, and later becomes for real.
 * Vampire Hunter: What she pretends to be, and later becomes for real.

Leesil

 * Career Killers: He used to be an assassin, and still has the tools.
 * Half Human Hybrid: Half-elven, to be specific.
 * Lovable Rogue: How he portrays himself, though he's rather more complicated beneath the surface.
 * Parental Abandonment: His Disappeared Dad was killed by Lord Darmouth. His Missing Mom survived, but was taken captive by her own people.
 * Troubled but Cute
 * White Haired Pretty Boy: Well, white-blond.

Chap

 * Angry Guard Dog: Don't threaten Magiere or Leesil in front of him. It won't be pretty.
 * Canine Companion
 * Dogs Are Dumb: Thoroughly averted. Chap is one of the smartest characters in the series.
 * Fay In Canine Form
 * Obfuscating Stupidity
 * The Voiceless: Chap understands Elvish and bits of some other languages, but his dog's vocal chords keep him from actually speaking.

Wynn Hygeorht

 * The Chick
 * The Heart: She even calls herself Magiere's conscience
 * Light Em Up: In the second arc, Wynn's primary weapon against the undead is a magic staff that generates sunlight.
 * Moment Killer: Her interrupting Magiere and Leesil in romantic moments is something of a Running Gag.
 * Power Incontinence: Her mantic sight, the ability to see magical energy, is very hard to control.
 * The Quiet One: At first. She starts talking more later on.
 * The Smart Guy
 * Squishy Wizard

Welstiel Masing

 * Affably Evil
 * Anti Magic: His "ring of nothing", which shields him from all magical enquiry
 * Anti Villain: Subverted. He looks like this at first, until it becomes apparent the depths he's willing to sink to in order to achieve his goals.
 * Evil Mentor
 * Evil Sorcerer: Specializing in artifice
 * I Am Your Father: Almost.
 * Magic Knight: Not as much as Chane
 * Magnificent Bastard
 * Mysterious Protector: Subverted. He's only helping Magiere to advance his own agenda
 * Older Than They Look: Variation. His grey hair makes him look middle-aged. Physically, he's somewhat younger than that.
 * Treacherous Advisor

Chane Andraso

 * Abusive Parents
 * Blood Knight
 * Complete Monster: Very much so, in the first arc. He's not as dangerous to the world as a whole as some of the other villains, but is easily one of the most personally bloodthirsty.
 * Retired Monster: In the second arc, owing to trying to make a good impression on Wynn. He's not actually any less evil, though, just less blatant about it.
 * The Dragon: At first to his sire, Toret, and after his death to Welstiel
 * Heel Realization: Admits that he's a monster at the end of the first arc. As noted in Retired Monster above, though, it doesn't make him any less evil in a meaningful sense, just less blatant and feral about it.
 * Karma Houdini: So far, he's had remarkably little punishment to fit his crimes- but on the other hand, the series is far from over...
 * Living Lie Detector: One of his vampiric powers, which first begins manifesting in Child of a Dead God.
 * Magic Knight
 * Morality Pet: Wynn is the only thing he cares about enough to try and control his feral vampire nature.
 * Psycho for Hire
 * Scars Are Forever: Though vampires can normally heal any wound, the scars on Chane's back and neck will last forever.
 * The Sociopath: Borderline case. His relationship with Wynn shows he's capable of at least some empathy- he just normally doesn't bother. YMMV on whether this makes him more or less of a Complete Monster.
 * Token Evil Teammate: In the second arc.
 * Vader Breath: He survived a beheading thanks to Welstiel's magic, but it permanently damaged his voice.

Ubad

 * Black Cloak
 * Complete Monster
 * Eyeless Face: He wears a leather mask over his eyes, and is apparently blind. The host of spirits that swarm about him act as his eyes.
 * Evil Old Folks
 * Evil Sorcerer
 * Necromancer
 * Nightmare Fuel

Lord Darmouth

 * Asskicking Equals Authority: How he and his ancestors won their throne.
 * Complete Monster
 * Evil Overlord

Most Aged Father

 * Animals Hate Him: Majay-hi avoid him, unnerved by the way he has unnaturally extended his lifespan
 * The Chessmaster
 * Evil Old Folks
 * Freudian Excuse: His being present at the creation of the first undead might explain his paranoid attitude.
 * The Man Behind the Curtain: Despite his fearsome reputation, he's a withered old elf who's barely moved in centuries.
 * Meaningful Name
 * Meaningful Rename: His original name was Sorkhafare. He abandoned it when he became the leader of the an'Croan elves.
 * Well Intentioned Extremist
 * Villain With Good Publicity: At least among the Elves.

Sau'ilahk

 * And I Must Scream:
 * Black Cloak
 * Deal With the Devil: He bargained with il'Samar for eternal life and youth. He got one, but not the other.
 * Enemy to All Living Things: Even moreso than most undead.
 * Evil Sorcerer
 * Hidden Agenda Villain
 * Intangible Man
 * Religion of Evil: In life, he was the high priest of one.
 * Touch of Death

il'Samar

 * Big Bad
 * The Chessmaster
 * Eldritch Abomination: or possibly God of Evil- it's unclear at this point.
 * I Have Many Names: il'Samar, the Night Voice, the Ancient Enemy, the Nightfaller, Beloved, and presumably many more. It's called "The Enemy of Many Names" for a reason.
 * The Man Behind the Man: It was manipulating Ubad, Welstiel, and Sau'ilahk.
 * Omnicidal Maniac
 * Reptiles Are Abhorrent: It usually appears as a giant snake.
 * Sealed Evil in A Can
