Legend of the Seeker/Characters: Difference between revisions

The Seeker of Truth. A former woodsman from Westland, he's pulled into the fight against Darken Rahl when he meets Kahlan, and turns out to be the key to defeating him.

* [[Accidental Marriage]]: Due to Shota's spell.

* [[The Trickster]]: Utterly ''owns'' Darken Rahl in "Puppeteer" through his wits and tricks alone, without having to cast a single attack spell.

 

=== Darken Rahl ===

Master of D'Hara. The [[Big Bad]] of the first season, he had heard of the prophecy of the Seeker, and sought to kill him when he was an infant. When he finds out Richard is alive, he stops at nothing to have him killed or pressed into his service.

* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: Blond in the books, dark-haired here.

* [[Big Bad]]: In Season 1

* [[Blood Magic]]: Because he needs it to power journey books.

* [[Complete Monster]]

* [[Deal with the Devil]]

* [[The Dragon]]: To the Keeper in Season 2

* [[Evil Overlord]]

* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Wasn't Darken Rahl [[The Lord of the Rings (film)|an elf once?]]

* {{spoiler|[[Karma Houdini]]: He survives the season 2 finale.}}

* [[Self-Made Orphan]]

* [[What an Idiot!]]: Trying to seduce Nicci in ''Tears.''

 

=== Cara ===

* [[Anti-Hero]]: After her [[Heel Face Turn]]

* [[Anti-Magic]]

* [[Badass]]

* [[Beauty Is Never Tarnished]]: Averted, once again. She gets beaten up pretty badly when the Mord-Sith turn on her in the season 2 opener, and is covered with cuts and nasty bruises when {{spoiler|she's captured by [[Darken Rahl]]}}.

* [[Back for the Finale]]

* [[Chosen One]]: Not to the same extent as Richard, but he is still a true Seeker who was named in a prophecy of his own.

* [[Because Destiny Says So]]: According to Zedd, this is why he got together with Cara.

* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}

* [[Combat Sadomasochist]]

* [[Dark Action Girl]]

* [[Light Is Not Good]]: In Season 2 her leathers and Agiel were white.

 

* [[Amoral Nihilist]]: She believes the world is "like a lame horse" and that trying to do good will only prolong the suffering of existence, and everything would be better off if the world was "put out of its misery." {{spoiler|After her defection, she reconsiders a few things and becomes an [[Ubermensch]] determined to destroy humanity and remake it in her own image, creating a new world more suited to her desires.}}

* [[Back for the Finale]]

* [[Badass]]

* [[Because Destiny Says So]]: The Keeper can't win while Kahlan is alive. Therefore, Nicci is going to do her best to kill her.

* [[Blondes Are Evil]]

* [[Character Exaggeration]]: In the books, Nicci noted two things in passing: that she considered the world to be a wretched, senseless existence that had no purpose except for torment, and that she hated it when men "assumed they had a right to her body." These two traits seem to have become the basis of her character, here.

* [[Composite Character]]: Her character and role is a combination of ''three'' distinct Sisters of the Dark from the books: Liliana, a power-hungry Han-stealing sorceress who pretended to be Richard's friend at the Palace of the Prophets and tried to take his magic; Ulicia, the most powerful of the Sisters of the Dark who served as their leader and [[Evil Genius|primary schemer]], and plotted to capture Kahlan; and most strongly, Nicci, a [[Anti-Villain|sympathetic]] Sister with a [[Dark and Troubled Past]] who used a Maternity Spell on Kahlan, and was eventually convinced by Richard to leave the side of evil.

* [[Dark Action Girl]]

A Sister of the Dark who becomes the Keeper's primary servant after Darken Rahl and Nicci defect.

* [[Anti-Magic]]

* [[Black Magic]]

* [[Black Shirt]]: She's been waiting for the chance to tear the veil all her life.

* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]

* [[Satan]]
