Line 1: {{work}} A list of characters for ''[[Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn ~~(Literature)~~\|Memory Sorrow and Thorn]]'', subdivided by faction. Beware of spoilers. ---- Line 13: * [[Conveniently an Orphan]]: His mother came to the Hayholt in a rainstorm and died giving birth to him. His father is unknown. Morgenes is the only one who knows the secret of his heritage. * [[The Hero]] * [[~~The~~ Hero's Journey]]: A deliberate and methodical use of this by Williams; it can be seen throughout the story. * [[Heroic BSOD]]: After the aforementioned [[Berserker Tears]]. * [[Hitchhiker Heroes]] * [[Little Hero, Big War]] * [[Locked Into Strangeness]]: Due to being splashed by a dragon's blood. * [[Moses in ~~The~~the Bulrushes]]: {{spoiler\|He is revealed to be the direct descendant of Saint Eahlstan Fiskerne, and therefore the rightful heir to the throne.}} * [[Orphan's Plot Trinket]]: The ring given to him by Morgenes. * [[Rage Against the Heavens]]: He suffers a crisis of faith after seeing his friends die on the quest for Thorn. * [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: He begins the series as a kitchen scullion, and becomes first a capable soldier, then a leader among the forces of good, and finally {{spoiler\|the king of Erkynland}}. == '''Princess Miriamele''' == Line 43: * [[Alas, Poor Villain]]: Miriamele's primary motivation in the fourth book is to redeem her father, precisely because of this. * [[Cain and Abel]]: With Josua. * [[Deal ~~With~~with the Devil]]: At Pryrates' urging, Elias bargains with the Storm King for possession of Sorrow. * [[Dying Asas Yourself]] * [[Necromantic]]: Played for tragedy. * [[Unwitting Pawn]]: To Pryrates, who's the real force driving the war. Line 93: * [[Apron Matron]] * [[Jerk ~~With~~with a Heart of Gold]] == '''Earl Guthwulf''' == Line 100: * [[Jerkass]], later becoming a [[Jerkass Woobie]]. * [[Go Mad ~~From~~from the Revelation]] == '''Earl Fengbald''' == Line 117: Founder of the League of the Scroll and the last in the line of the kings of Erkynland before Prester John took up the throne. "Saint" Ealhstan, as he was known, was a famously beloved leader who saw portents of the return of the Storm King and did everything in his power to prepare Osten Ard for this eventuality. He died fighting a dragon beneath the Hayholt. * [[Fling a Light Into ~~The~~the Future]]: By way of founding the League of the Scroll. * [[Genius Bruiser]] * [[The Greatest Story Never Told]]: He killed the red dragon Shurakai [[Mutual Kill\|but died in the process]]. He's the real hero to Prester John's [[Fake Ultimate Hero]]. Line 146: * [[The Eeyore]] * [[Old Soldier]] * [[Put Onon a Bus]] * [[Real Men Love Jesus]]: He is seriously upset during Simon's [[Rage Against the Heavens]]. Line 166: * [[Badass Beard]] * [[Blood Knight]]: Big time. {{quote\| "Fight and live, fight and die, God waits for all."~~<br />~~ "I have tasted [[The Fair Folk\|faerie]]-blood tonight. I would not mind more." }} * [[Born in ~~The~~the Wrong Century]]: At one point Deornoth muses that maybe Einskaldir would have preferred the old pagan Rimmersgard religion, with its warrior's heaven, instead of the (by comparison) more peaceable Aedonite faith. * [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: He is mortally wounded while distracting the Norns so Josua's party can flee further into Aldheorte. * [[Real Men Love Jesus]]: For all his bloodthirstiness, he is surprisingly pious. Line 183: * [[Dirty Coward]] * [[Drowning My Sorrows]] * [[Go Mad ~~From~~from the Revelation]] * [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: He sacrifices himself to {{spoiler\|allow Miriamele to escape from the Storm King's [[Collapsing Lair]]}} at the end of ''To Green Angel Tower''. * [[Redemption Equals Death]]: See [[Heroic Sacrifice]], above. Line 193: * [[All Love Is Unrequited]] * [[Despair Event Horizon]] * [[Go Mad ~~From~~from the Revelation]] * [[Heroic Sacrifice]] * [[Hopeless Suitor]]: To Eolair, driving her into despair. Line 229: == '''Count Aspitis''' == A Nabbanai nobleman who falls deep in the service of Pryrates, the devilishly handsome Aspitis briefly imprisons Princess Miriamele on his ship and coerces her into sleeping with him with the intent of forcing her into marriage. * [[Aristocrats Are Evil]] Line 249: == '''Binabik''' == Apprentice to Ooquequk, one of the original members of the League of the Scroll, the diminutive troll Binibiquegabenik (Binabik for short) wanders the lands far more than most members of his isolationist race. Together with his wolf companion, Qantaqa, they make a formidable pair and form a fast friendship with Simon after Binabik rescues him from starvation in the wilderness. * [[The Beast Master]] Line 319: * [[Eldritch Abomination]]: His mere existence is such a ''wrongness'' that simple exposure to it can drive mortal minds insane. * [[Evil Is Deathly Cold]]: Paralyzing cold is how he freezes Simon's will and forces him to obey the call of Bright-Nail. * [[Expy]]/[[Homage]]: As Ineluki, he bears a striking resemblance to Fëanor of ''[[The Silmarillion]]''. After becoming the Storm King, he's essentially a more sympathetic [[The Lord of the Rings\|Sauron]]. * [[Jumping Off the Slippery Slope]]: His backstory is a quintessential example of what happens when you go too far in pursuit of an idealistic vision of the world. * [[Knight Templar]]: With respect to mortals. He has no sympathy for them and wishes them all utterly destroyed. Line 326: * [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: This is where Ineluki ended up after going down the slope from [[The Messiah]] to [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] to dead and hating all living beings. * [[One-Winged Angel]]: He turns {{spoiler\|the possessed King Elias}} into a [[Eldritch Abomination\|terrifying being]] of fire and shadow. * [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can]]: In this case, ''time'' is the can, which Pryrates' spell seeks to undo. * [[Self-Made Orphan]]: After Ineluki made Sorrow, his father called it an abomination and ordered him to destroy it. This broke the last vestiges of his sanity and he murdered the king on the spot, taking his antlered crown. * [[The Undead]] Line 372: [[Category:Memory Sorrow And Thorn]] [[Category:Characters]] [[Category:{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]]
