Belgariad/Characters: Difference between revisions

Line 189:

* [[Hidden Depths]]: Mandorallen isn't overly burdened with brains, but he's still got plenty of depth beneath his [[Knight in Shining Armour]] exterior, and is far more socially intuitive than many members of the group.

* [[Honor Before Reason]]

* [[Hot Blooded]]

* [[Hot-Blooded]]

* [[Knight in Shining Armor]]: So very much. Mandorallen is the archetype gained a life of its own.

* [[Large Ham]]

Line 226:

* [[Power Glows]]

* [[Empathic Weapon]]: When attached to the Sword of Riva

* [[Stop Helping Me]]: The Orb tries so hard to be helpful. To the point that it has to be told that its help is not required. It thought that rearranging the stars to spell "Belgarion" was a request rather than an example.

''The Kingdoms of the West''

Line 360:

* [[Blood Knight]]: He's always at war, sleeps in his armour, and orders his [[Praetorian Guard]] to ''clear the way'' for Cho-Hag so that he can fight him. And that's without even mentioning his [[Famous Last Words]].

* [[The Brute]]: He may be the King of Cthol Murgos, but one could definitely make the case of Taur Urgas being [[The Brute]]. He's got all the hallmarks of the personality: no empathy, totally [[Axe Crazy]], a [[The Berserker|Berserker]] in combat, and he also seems to fit in terms of his position and role in the villainous hierarchy: he's the ruler of one of the largest countries subject to Torak, and provides manpower and muscle for the Angarak armies, while still being subject to Ctuchik, Torak's [[The Dragon|Dragon]].

* [[The Caligula]]: All the Urgas are [[Royally Screwed Up]], but Taur Urgas is crazy even by their standards.

* [[Famous Last Words]]: "Come back Cho-Hag! Come back and fight!"

* [[I Control My Minions Through]]: Fear, and a degree of Respect. See [[The Berserker]] for how.

* [[I Control My Minions Through...]]: Fear, and a degree of Respect. See [[The Berserker]] for how.

* [[It's Personal]]: With Silk and Cho-Hag.

* [[Lack of Empathy]]

* [[The Mentally Ill]]: In addition to his bloodthirstyness, Taur Urgas is prone to fits wherein he chews on the furniture.

* [[Royally Screwed Up]]: Sadism, brutality, and outright madness are hereditary in the Urga bloodline.

* [[Royally Screwed-Up]]: Sadism, brutality, and outright madness are hereditary in the Urga bloodline.

* [[Sword Fight]]: Against Cho-Hag.

Line 422:

* [[Red Right Hand]]: What hand?

* [[Take Over the World]]

* [[Two Faced]]: Beneath his mask.

* [[Two-Faced]]: Beneath his mask.

* [[Villainous Crush]]: On Polgara

* [[Wound That Will Not Heal]]: Gods aren't designed to be injured, and because of that his burnt face, boiled eye, and missing hand continue to pain him, leaving him in perpetual agony.

Line 526:

* [[Evil Is Not a Toy]]: Learns this when she discovers the extent of Mordja's plans.

* [[Evil Sorcerer]]

Line 585:

* [[Casting a Shadow]]: His face is concealed within inky shadows during his first appearance. They go where he does.

* [[Demon Lords and Archdevils]]

* [[Double Standard Rape Divine On Mortal]]: Averted. Heck, Nahaz having consensual sex is still treated like rape given what happens to his partners.

* [[Double Standard Rape (Divine On Mortal)]]: Averted. Heck, Nahaz having consensual sex is still treated like rape given what happens to his partners.

* [[The Dragon]]: To Urvon

** [[Co-Dragons]]: Alongside Harakan; {{spoiler|One could argue he and Mordja are Co Dragons to the King of Hell}}.
