Line 35:
* [[Anti-Villain]]: For most of the game, {{spoiler|Kerghan}} kills, tortures, and generally acts in an indisputably evil way. But when you are told his motivations for doing so, {{spoiler|particularly when Virgil confirms what he has to say}}, you can easily understand his point of view. {{spoiler|Which is kind of disturbing given that he's an [[Omnicidal Maniac]].}}
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: {{spoiler|Kerghan wants to [[Omnicidal Maniac|kill everyone]] because he believes that the afterlife is better and more peaceful than life}}. Interestingly, that particular theory is somewhat confirmed in-game, since one of your party members {{spoiler|who dies and is resurrected}} agrees with him but still thinks that people should be allowed to choose their own fate.
* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]:
* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: {{spoiler|Kerghan.}}
* [[Nietzsche Wannabe]]:
* [[Antiquated Linguistics]]: The manual is written like this. Mostly in an in-universe style.
* [[Apocalyptic Log]]: In Vendigroth you can find newspapers reporting about an elven wizard who threatened them and how they told him to screw himself. Vendigroth is now a giant lifeless wasteland -- guess who's responsible for that.
