Baldur's Gate/Characters/Other Party Members: Difference between revisions

 

== Party Members in ''Baldur's Gate'' ==

{{quote|''I don't want to seem c-confrontational, but could you be a little less... well... evil?''

'''Voiced by:''' Jim Meskimen}}

 

Jaheira's husband and one of CHARNAME's canonical companions in ''Baldur's Gate I'', Khalid was a half-elf fighter. And that's about it. Early in ''Baldur's Gate II'', Jaheira tries to track him down, only to find his corpse (and give a [[Hand Wave]] on why he can't be resurrected).

* [[Adventure Duo]]: He and Jaheira, before his demise.

* [[Battle Couple]]: With Jaheira.

* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]]: Not ugly, exactly, but not very charming, with a very low Charisma score and massive self esteem issues, and several NPCs seem to think Jaheira is out of his league. Faldorn is one of them, but whether she believes it or is just trying to irritate Jaheira is debatable.

 

{{quote|''For Right! And I always am!''

'''Voiced by:''' Jennifer Hale}}

Dynaheir was a witch from Rasheman and Minsc's companion, and in CHARNAME's canonical party in ''Baldur's Gate I''. When Irenicus captured CHARNAME and his party, he murdered Dynaheir in front of Minsc's eyes just to anger him.

 

* [[Adventure Duo]]: With Minsc.

* [[Black Dude Dies First|Black Girl Dies First]]: She's the first major character from ''Baldur's Gate I'' you find out has been killed in ''Baldur's Gate II'', though her death occurs off-screen.

* [[Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe]]: Her gimmick is misapplyingeth a lot of doths and dosts and so forth whenever she speaks.

 

{{quote|''I wanted infravision like the elves... But 'tis more than just taking their eyes... ''

'''Voiced by:''' Frank Welker}}

Xzar is the official crazy guy of the playable NPCs, and he fills the role well. He can act normal for long enough to work in civilized society, but only just barely. He doesn't join in ''Baldur's Gate II'', but shows up to give a quest that ultimately ends up killing him.

 

* [[Arch Enemy]]: Along with Montaron, to Khalid and Jaheira. [[Justified Trope|Justified]] in that he and Montaron are agents of the Zhentarim, an [[The Syndicate|evil network]] opposed to the Harpers, a secret organization of do-gooders.

* [[Ax Crazy]]: Xzar is ''delighted'' when the party's reputation gets pulled down by gratuitous acts of violence.

{{quote|"I am become death, destroyer of worlds!"}}

** Also:

* [[Stop Poking Me]]:

{{quote|Stop touching me!!!}}

* [[With Friends Like These...]]: He and Montaron.

 

{{quote|''Ye live longer if ye don't annoy me. Mayhaps even a week or more.''

'''Voiced by:''' Earl Boen}}

Montaron is the counterpart of Xzar, and hates him dearly. A halfling fighter/thief, Montaron is an intentional subversion of the happy-go-lucky halflings everywhere else in fantasy, being a person interested only in doing his job in the bloodiest way possible. He dies off-screen in ''Baldur's Gate II''.

 

* [[Arch Enemy]]: To Khalid and Jaheira. Being [[Psycho for Hire|purely in it for the money]], he's less invested in the rivalry than Xzar, however.

* [[Back Stab]]: He enjoys it more than most thieves as well.

* [[With Friends Like These...]]: He and Xzar.

 

{{quote|''We're all doomed...''

'''Voiced by:''' Jeff Bennett}}

Xan only appears in the first ''Baldur's Gate'', but has appeared in the tutorial mode for ''Baldur's Gate II''. He's also popular enough to get mods that add him to ''Baldur's Gate II'', and was probably the most popular ''Baldur's Gate I'' character to not get into ''Baldur's Gate II''.

 

* [[Blessed with Suck]]: Xan has this opinion about his moonblade. And about his magic. And about everything.

* [[Can't Argue with Elves]]: You ''can'', but he really doesn't care.

* [[Sour Supporter]]: All the way.

 

{{quote|''And by Tempus, I always repay my debts!''

'''Voiced by:''' Bernadette Sullivan (''Baldur's Gate''), Jane Singer (''Baldur's Gate II'')}}

 

Branwen is a self-exiled cleric of Tempus, the god of war. She felt that her people wouldn't accept a priestess of the war god, and being right, she up and left. She bears no resentment, however, reasoning that faith must be tested or be worthless. At some point, she was transformed into stone by a mage named Tranzig and sold to a halfling who uses her as a sideshow to be gawked at in a fair. Once she's rescued, she joins the party. She's in ''Baldur's Gate II'''s tutorial mode, but not in the game proper.

 

* [[Action Girl]]: Despite what her people wanted from her.

* [[Church Militant]]: It comes with being a cleric of the god of war.

* [[Valkyries]]: Maybe it's just me, but her long golden hair, large frame (at least in her portrait), Northern European accent, and worship of the war god gives this impression. Doubtless that if second edition ''Dungeons & Dragons'' didn't forbid it, she'd be wielding an axe.

 

{{quote|''My soul aches for my lost Deherianna.''

'''Voiced by:''' Rob Paulsen}}

Kivan only appears in the first ''Baldur's Gate'', but has enough of a following to warrant fan-created mods so you can use him in ''Baldur's Gate II'' and ''Throne of Bhaal''.

 

* [[The Archer]]: Starts with bow skills and the attitude. NPC mods for Tutu tend to have the option of turning him into a kitted archer. Chances are good this is why he's remembered from the first game at all, and is generally why he's recruited into parties in the first place, his skills being unvaluable at the beginning of the game (not to mention he joins at level 2 right off the bat).

* [[Best Served Cold]]: He wants revenge on Tazok for torturing him and killing his wife.

* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: Kivan's sole reason for being in the game.

 

{{quote|''A figure like yours shouldn't be risked in a profession such as adventuring.''

'''Voiced by:''' Brian George}}

He can't be recruited until fairly late in the game, but his combination of archery and thieving skills and his excellent statistics make him a fairly popular character nonetheless.

 

* [[Aborted Arc]]: Pre-release materials pegged him as one of the characters who would return as a party member in ''Baldur's Gate II''. Instead, his role in the sequel is limited to a very brief cameo. CHARNAME can still ask him to join, but he will decline.

* [[The Archer]]: His preferred weapon is a bow and arrow, but it's a partial subversion as he ''definitely'' doesn't have the stereotypical cool, analytical personality.

* [[Casanova]]: A relatively sympathetic one, in contrast to Eldoth.

* [[Chaotic Good]]: He's a [[For Happiness]] kind of guy, and actively opposes any attempts by anyone to restrict his lifestyle.

* [[Demoted to Extra]]: A pseudo-villainous one.

* [[Disappeared Dad]]: Though it's not clear he knows about the child.

* [[Facial Markings]]: A bandit mask-like stripe across his eyes. Seldom mentioned and never explained.

* [[Handsome Lech]]: It gets him in trouble eventually.

* [[I'm a Man, I Can't Help It]]: To his eventual sorrow.

* [[Lovable Traitor]]: In ''Baldur's Gate II'', there's a subplot in which he turns into one.

* [[Your Cheating Heart]]: While having an affair with a mage in Baldur's Gate, he was caught by her seducing another woman, which is what forced him to flee into the woods.

 

{{quote|''I'll do anything.''

'''Voiced by:''' Diane Pershing}}

She can be obtained relatively early in the game and has some amusing dialogue, so she was fairly popular among players, but nevertheless, she did not make it to the sequel as a playable character. She does, however, show up as a minor NPC at one point late in the game.

 

* [[Action Girl]]: Lives a life of swashbuckling action and romance, and luxury when she can get it.

* [[Back Stab]]: Literally and figuratively.

* [[The Vamp]]: She'll do ''anything''.

 

{{quote|''The day comes when TIAX will point and click!''

'''Voiced by:''' John Mariano}}

Tiax is the utterly insane gnomish cleric/thief of Cyric (the utterly insane god of lying and evil). Tiax is, possibly, the single most insane character in the entire series, and that is honestly saying something. He believes Cyric has proclaimed him to rule Toril (the world you're on) and that though he hasn't ''quite'' taken over yet, his time will soon come. He has what's slightly more than a cameo in ''Baldur's Gate II'' when he helps you fight Irenicus, but dies at the end of the battle.

 

* [[Ax Crazy]]: Oh yeah.

* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]: More like [[Boisterous Weakling]], but he can be quite tough if you know how to do it.

* [[Third Person Person]]: Practically every time he speaks.

 

{{quote|''Men are pathetic.''

'''Voiced by:''' Jennifer Darling}}

A female warrior who's encountered in the wilds between Candlekeep and Baldur's Gate. She enjoys humiliating male adventurers by challenging them to duels and soundly thrashing them. She'll challenge a male member of the [[Player Character]]'s group to a fight when you meet her, and if she is defeated, she will grudgingly agree to join the party.

 

* [[Action Girl]]: One of the most violent and bloodthirsty warriors in the first game, even.

* [[Ax Crazy]]: Though not as much as some of the other [[Chaotic Evil]] characters.

* [[Straw Feminist]]: Of sorts. She praises an all-female party. But you need to have at least one male to recruit her. Go figure.

 

{{quote|''Shar-Teel, your lot in life is to bake cookies and bear children, now shut up.''

'''Voiced by:''' Neil Ross}}

Like all bards in ''Baldur's Gate I'', he's rather underpowered; that combined with the fact that he can't be recruited until late in the game (and is tied to a second character who can't be recruited until even later) left him unused by most players.

 

* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: Skie prefers him to the generally much nicer Garrick.

* [[Battle Couple]]: With Skie, potentially.

* [[Stay in the Kitchen]]: He's a raging sexist, as demonstrated by the quote above.

 

{{quote|''I broke a nail!''

'''Voiced by:''' Grey Delisle}}

She's one of the last characters in the game to become available for use and is always accompanied by [[Spoony Bard]] Eldoth, and for those reasons many players don't bother with her.

 

* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]

* [[Battle Couple]]: With Eldoth, sorta.

* [[Virginity Makes You Stupid]]: It's not clear whether the literal definition of this trope technically applies or not, but the setup between her and Eldoth is a classic case.

 

{{quote|''I revel in the rituals of combat, and I welcome the chance to end your miserable existence.''

'''Voiced by:''' Heidi Shannon (''Baldur's Gate''), B.J. Ward (''Baldur's Gate II'')}}

Most players, if they want a Druid, elect to use Jaheira instead, as she can be recruited earlier and as a multi-class fighter is much sturdier and more effective in combat.

 

* [[Animal Wrongs Group]]: In ''Baldur's Gate II'', she and her Shadow Druids.

* [[Blood Knight]]: She quite enjoys killing rival Druids in single combat.

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Of the eco-terrorist variety.

 

{{quote|''I am so smart! S-M-R-T! I mean, S-M-A-R-T!''

'''Voiced by:''' Jeff Bennett}}

An annoying gnome just ouside of Baldur's Gate, Quayle can join for reasons vague even as he explains them. He's of no importance in ''Baldur's Gate I'', but is revealed as Aerie's foster father in ''Baldur's Gate II''. Because he is a mage/cleric multiclass with average (for mages) intelligence and average (by ''fighter'' standards) wisdom, he's an awful, awful character.

 

* [[The Cameo]]: In ''Baldur's Gate II''. CHARNAME doesn't even seem to recognize him unless he dies.

* [[Chaotic Neutral]]: He obviously cares first and foremost about rubbing his brain in everyone else's faces, but he's too self-obsessed to be evil.

* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: The one thing that he and Tiax have in common.

 

{{quote|''Watch what ye say. Good natured, I am. But I swing a mean axe when evil's concerned.''

'''Voiced by:''' Bill Farmer}}

Like Tiax and Quayle, you can only get Yeslick fairly late in the game, which makes him unpopular with many players since you normally already have a well-developed party at that point (however, they were pretty okay with his personality). A fan-made mod exists which makes him available sooner.

 

* [[Drop the Hammer]]: His weapon of choice. Given that he can't use axes, it's a little odd he mentions them in the page quote.

* [[Dug Too Deep]]: Well, they only hit an underground river instead of an [[Eldritch Abomination]], but the effects were no less devastating.

* [[Shout-Out]]: One of his annoyed quotes is him singing 'Lali Ho!' from ''[[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney film)|Snow White]]''.

 

{{quote|''We have much evil to fight, we have no time for idleness''

'''Voiced by:''' Jason Marsden}}

There's also a mod in progress that makes Ajantis savable and allows him to join your party.

 

* [[Black and White Morality]]: As noted by Xan, who calls him 'The Resident Suicide Monger', he lives in this.

* [[Demoted to Extra]]: [[Red Shirt]], in fact.

* [[Lawful Good]]: Being a Paladin and all. He's much closer to [[Lawful Stupid]] than the other Paladin or pseudo-Paladin characters (Keldorn, Mazzy, Yeslick, etc). His black and white morality is actually sort of explained in game, as he's much younger than the rest of the paladin characters of the series, so he's probably still a bit naive in that regard.

 

{{quote|''Brave Sir Garrick lead the way, Brave Sir Garrick RAN AWAY!!''

'''Voiced by:''' Dee Bradley Baker}}

Later, Garrick is no longer involved with the Bhaalspawn, but tried to woo a Female Paladin of the Order of the Radiant Heart. However, he's too shy and asks a gnome (named [[Cyrano De Bergerac|Cyrando]] to help him woo her. The Paladin in question ends up marrying the gnome, while Garrick ends up with someone else.

 

* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: As Lady Irlana observes, he's awfully inarticulate for a bard.

* [[Chaotic Neutral]]: Though not of the batshit insane/[[Chaotic Stupid]] variety.

* [[Walking the Earth]]: His approach to the adventuring life.

 

{{quote|''Happy happy joy joy! Happy happy joy joy!''

'''Voiced by:''' Amber Hood}}

Alora is a halfling thief, notable mostly for being quite literally the last available character in the game. Because thieves need to be gotten earlier than other characters (they tend to waste their thieving skills on useless garbage like Pickpocket instead of Detect Traps), Alora ends being possibly the worst character in the game.

 

* [[Back Stab]]

* [[Can't Catch Up]]: You get her so late in the first game that she's not much use. It's not so much that she can't catch up as that she's already as leveled as she'll ever get with lousy HP and her thieving skill points put into relatively useless skills.

* [[Shout-Out]]: To ''[[Ren and Stimpy]]'', of all things.

 

{{quote|''I like it here, where the gold grows.''

'''Voiced by:''' John Mariano}}

Yet another dwarven fighter, Kagain runs a mercenary company that provide protection for caravans, but is very obsessed with gold. In contrast to other evil characters, he tends to be rather quiet. However, he is always at odds with Yeslick, who continually chastises his gold-obsession, and Kagain hates him for being too 'goody-goody' and stupid. Sometimes this can come to blows. He has a constitution of twenty, which grants him regeneration.

 

* [[Affably Evil]]: Compared to the other evil characters, at least.

* [[An Axe to Grind]]: His favored weapons are axes.

* [[Put on a Bus]]: Like all the other ''Baldur's Gate I'' characters who didn't make the cut for the sequel.

 

{{quote|''I really, really tried.''

'''Voiced by:''' Rob Paulsen}}

In ''Baldur's Gate I'', if you'd murdered an NPC who was required for the story to continue, Biff the Understudy would appear magically and say his lines for him before disappearing, to keep the game (vaguely) continuous. If this happened to a potential party member, Biff could actually join the group, making him the only playable character with no portrait. In ''Baldur's Gate II'', the game handles plot-important NPCs dying by spawning an area-specific super-enemy that can't be defeated, or having the NPC turn invulnerable and leave the area until you come back, making Biff unnecessary. He gets a brief cameo in the second game as an unsuccessful actor.

 

* [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything]]: His very reason for existence.

* [[Joke Character]]: He's effectively useless in combat, if he joins your group.

 

== Party Members in ''Baldur's Gate II'' ==

{{quote|''Hiiiiii yah! Heh, the tourists love that stuff.''

'''Voiced by:''' Maurice Lamarche}}

Yoshimo is an adventurer and swashbuckler from [[Far East|Kara-Tur]], who joins your party in the first dungeon in the second game after having escaped a fate as experimental subject by whoever runs the place. Being the game's only single-class thief, and a generally easygoing character on top of it, Yoshimo fits into pretty much every party. {{spoiler|As it turns out, he is actually a mole planted by Irenicus in the party. He is not at all very fond of his employer, but a Geas is put on him to force him to obey}}.

 

* {{spoiler|[[Anti-Villain]]: Type IV}}.

* [[Back Stab]]: Like any self-respecting D&D thief.

* [[Word of God]]: Although thought by some to be [[Fanon]], David Gaider has confirmed that Yoshimo is Tamoko's younger brother and came west looking for her {{spoiler|and ended up with the geas as a result of his search of revenge}}.

 

{{quote|''My wings have been clipped... oh, I wish you could understand how it feels to be bound to the ground, chained and weighted like a miserable prisoner of earth...''

'''Voiced by:''' Kath Soucie}}

Aerie is another romanceable character: a potentially powerful cleric/mage with a sweet demeanor, but a very traumatic past. She's an Avariel, a winged elf, captured by slavers and had her wings clipped off to preserve her life, until the Gnome Illusionist Quayle rescued her and adopted her as his niece. She joins the Bhaalspawn when he investigated her circus which was under the illusion of another gnome named Kalah. She struggles with life on the ground, but manages to move on eventually, ''much'' more easily if she gets romanced by a nice player character; otherwise, she has to go through disillusionment and frustration first. She doesn't get along with Korgan, and may also develop a romance with Haer'Dalis. If romanced with the Bhaalspawn, she gives him his first son and has one of the happiest endings amongst the entire roster.

 

* [[Aborted Arc]]: There was supposed to be a quest that will turn her into a bird, enabling her to fly again, but instead, she decides to face her troubles on the ground and [[Took a Level In Badass|takes a level in badass]]. Time constraints aborted it, but the change can be seen in her lines in ToB.

* [[Action Mom]]: During ''Throne of Bhaal'', she can bear a male CHARNAME's child.

* [[Winged Humanoid]]: Or former [[Winged Humanoid]], in this case.

 

{{quote|''There is an evil in my heart, I have always known this and I spoke of it to you. Hate and anger, twisted and black... and I... I cannot control it.''

'''Voiced by:''' Rob Paulsen}}

Ah, Anomen. Squire of The Order of the Radiant Heart. [[Jerkass]] extraordinaire. Pompous, arrogant, insufferable and vain. He's on a quest to [[I Want to Be a Real Man|become a full knight]]. He's the only option for a female Bhaalspawn romance. Hurrah. Still a decent character gameplay-wise though.

 

* [[Abusive Parents]]: He has a drunkard father that abuses the hell out of him—though only verbally, now that he's extremely fit and strong.

* [[The Alcoholic]]: Or son of [[The Alcoholic]], as the case may be.

* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: Anomen has daddy issues up the ass.

 

{{quote|''Those grog-blossomed prickmedainties 'ave crossed me one time too many! We've some walking undead to dispatch, now, and then some live dead to find and bury!''

'''Voiced by:''' Bill Martin}}

A bloodthirsty dwarven berserker, essentially the evil [[Foil]] to Minsc. He can be first recruited as a mercernary in ''Baldur's Gate II'', and later follows the main character. He is generally considered a pain to deal with by other teammates, particularly the women. Ironically, he is sexually interested in Mazzy, the closest thing there is to a Halfling Paladin. Bizarrely, of every character in ''Baldur's Gate II'', Korgan is the only one who has no special ability or unique item, being ''only'' a dwarven berserker.

 

* [[An Axe to Grind]]: His preferred weapon, not to mention his preferred way of threatening people.

* [[The Berserker]]: It's his character class.

* [[Violent Glaswegian]]: Since [[Our Dwarves Are All the Same]], Korgan has an accent somewhere between Scottish and Welsh. Oddly, he is voiced by Bill Martin, who used to be a producer for [[The Monkees]].

 

{{quote|''You know, this reminds me of that time, wa-a-a-ay back... ''

'''Voiced by:''' Jack Roth}}

Jan Jansen is a gnomish peddler of turnips and illegal weaponry (but he's really more interested in the turnips). Much beloved by the fandom for his many quotes as well as his interactions with the other fan favorite character Minsc, Jan is one of ''Baldur's Gate II'''s most recognizable characters.

 

* [[Abnormal Ammo]]: His "Flasher Master Bruiser Mate" shoots toy skulls packed with explosive powder. Or normal crossbow bolts, depending on which you have equipped. How it's capable of firing both equally well is [[Fridge Logic|not explained]].

** And with a certain mod installed, he eventually gains the ability to fire bolts loaded with ''insect swarms''.

** Note that he ''claims'' it has medicinal properties: the context in which he mentions it implies it's overindulgence in turnip beer that may be at least heavily responsible for why he ''is'' such a [[Cloudcuckoolander]]. Turnips are also an obsession of all gnomes in the game.

 

{{quote|''My dear raven, valiant as always. You are poetry, you are song!''

'''Voiced by:''' Michael Bell}}

Haer'Dalis is a Doomguard: essentially, he knows the universe is going to end no matter what he does, so he's just enjoying himself until that happens. He's a bard in a traveling play who joins you after you rescue him, perhaps sensing there are tales to be had following in your footsteps.

 

* [[Aborted Arc]]: Haer'Dalis and Anomen were going to be the romanceable choices for female characters, but due to time constraints Haer'Dalis' romance was cut. Its absence is noticeable too. When picking up Haer'Dalis, he will seem very interested in the [[Player Character]], which will suddenly stop in later dialogs. That initial friendliness was supposed to have been a segue into a romance. There is a fan mod that adds a Haer'Dalis romance, but it just blocks the Haer'Dalis/Aerie romance from starting, rather than adding the planned romance conflicts.

* [[Battle Couple]]: With Aerie, potentially.

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Justified in that he's not human.

 

{{quote|''We're all filthy. We're all unwashed and tired and hungry. Shut up and tell someone who cares.''

'''Voiced by:''' Jeff Osterhage}}

Valygar is from a long line of mages, started by his insane evil dimension-traveling necromancer ancestor Lavok. Magic destroyed every single member of his family except himself, and as a result he became a ranger to put an end to his immortal evil ancestor.

 

* [[Aborted Arc]]: Another romance option for female [[Player Character]]s that was cut short. You can even see some of the leftover romance dialogues in the game file.

* [[Angry Black Man]]: Valygar Corthala will take precisely none of your shit. Wonderfully done when Jan Jansen begin yet another tale by starting to talk about his mother. Valygar cuts him off by very pointedly telling Jan about ''his'' mother and the things she did before he managed to take her down. Jan wisely shuts up.

* [[The Stoic]]: Valygar would prefer to be this, but he always has to voice his opinion.

 

{{quote|''I won't seem so cute if I break your legs.''

'''Voiced by:''' Jennifer Hale}}

Mazzy is a halfling fighter who would be a paladin if 2nd edition allowed it. As it is, she's the closest thing to a halfling paladin possible. She's beyond good, among the goodest of [[NPC]]s, and traveled with an adventuring party until its destruction. She follows you mostly because you saved her life.

 

* [[The Archer]]: Among the recruitable characters in ''Baldur's Gate II'', the best archer by far. She even comes with a fairly powerful bow that only she can use.

* [[Badass Adorable]]: Not that you want to [[Berserk Button|point it out to her]].

* [[Tragic Monster]]: What becomes of her former companion Patrick. Especially tragic as it's implied that they may have been romantically involved.

 

{{quote|''Do not take honor in fighting with my presence. Take honor in that you fight for good, for that is my source of strength.''

'''Voiced by:''' Roger Jackson}}

Keldorn Firecam is ''the'' paladin of the ''Baldur's Gate'' series. The classical [[Knight in Shining Armor]], Keldorn strives for good but when the law directly affects him and his family he gets slightly hesistant to act.

 

* [[Ascended Extra]]: Sort of. He's the only non-playable character from ''Baldur's Gate'' who becomes playable in ''Baldur's Gate II''; he doesn't actually appear in the first game, but he's mentioned in Ajantis' background.

* {{spoiler|[[But Now I Must Go]]: In the good ending to his personal quest, he leaves the party in order to stay with and reconcile with his formerly estranged family. That said, you have the option of subverting this by returning to his mansion the next day. He and his family will happily tell you that their problems are now cleared up, leaving him free to join your party again}}.

* [[The Comically Serious]]: He's a pretty serious guy and fairly humorless compared to Jan, Imoen, Yoshimo and the like.

* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: As is [[Justified Trope|suitable for]] [[Lawful Good|a]] [[Knight in Shining Armor|Paladin]], he will complain vociferously and/or leave the party forever if you don't behave uprightly.

 

{{quote|''As the trees are buffeted and snapped in the face of the gale, I shall be as the bamboo and flex.''

'''Voiced by:''' Jason Marsden}}

Cernd is a druid who intentionally inflicted himself with lycanthropy for... some reason. Despite being an okay guy, his lack of personality quirks and defining traits beyond lots of nature similes makes him quite... hmm... wait, whom were we talking about again?

 

* [[Braids, Beads, and Buckskins]]: Though Cernd's race is not clear, he does dress like a [[Magical Native American]], at least in his character portrait.

* [[Daddy Had a Good Reason For Abandoning You]]: Or at least thinks he did.

* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: But for his ability to transform into a werewolf, he'd have no distinctive abilities.

 

{{quote|''I'm going to be someone that gives to the poor and takes from the rich, I am. We've got lots to spare... and it's fun, too.''

'''Voiced by:''' Grey Delisle}}

A runaway noblewoman who hates her arranged marriage and wants to support the peasantry, she nevertheless tends to unintentionally think of herself as above them. Nalia doesn't get a lot of attention because as a female human thief/mage dual-class with red hair who specialized in short swords and bows, she's solidly inferior to Imoen, the ''other'' female human thief/mage dual-class with red hair (well, pink actually) who specializes in short swords and bows.

 

* [[Aborted Arc]]: After rescuing her from her evil fiance and discrediting him to the city guard, he swears revenge. Which is never mentioned again, ever. However, if CHARNAME is a fighter, {{spoiler|if CHARNAME chooses to keep the D'Arnise estate, the Roenall family later lays siege to the estate}}.

* [[All Your Base Are Belong to Us]]: Her family's estate has been taken over by a pack of trolls. {{spoiler|It's later intimated that this was the doing of Isaea}}.

* [[Wide-Eyed Idealist]]: In ''Baldur's Gate II'', not ''Throne of Bhaal''.

 

{{quote|''I dunno what you were expecting, but as a sword I'm pretty one dimensional in what I want!''

'''Voiced by:''' Jason Marsden}}

 

A sword imbued with the soul of a dimwitted warrior named Lawrence "Larry" Lilarcor. His favorite hobbies are killing things, mouthing off to his owner, killing things, complaing about ''not'' killing things, and, oh yeah, ''killing things''.

* [[Blood Knight]]: ... Sword... Errr..

* [[Catch Phrase]]: "So, are we gonna kill something now?"
