Quest for Glory/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[The Hero]]

* [[Mighty Whitey]]: In the third game. Your character will pick up spear throwing and wrestling on the wooden bridge of the Simbani. Within a week or so of training he'll be able to defeat Simbani warriors who trained at this all their lives. Can be considered [[Justified Trope|Justified]] since he's a skilled adventurer who's had to do more than his fair share of throwing and balancing in the past

** Culminates in the final game, when the [[Big Bad]] of the game, {{spoiler|the Dragon of Doom}}, is outright stated to be unkillable, and can only be sealed. But the hero is so badass at this point that he can ''safely'' ignore that and kill it.

* [[Walking the Earth]]

The [[Big Bad]] of ''Trial By Fire'' {{spoiler|and debatably ''Shadows of Darkness''}}. An evil wizard who rules over the land of Raseir with an iron fist while attempting to release [[Sealed Evil in a Can|the demon Iblis]]. Because the prophecy says he needs a hero to recover the status in which Iblis is sealed, he engineers events to get the hero to Raseir and hypnotizes him, but this ultimately causes his downfall, as he cries out to his master. {{spoiler|''Shadows of Darkness'' reveals that the "master" is Katrina, who bit Ad Avis seventy years ago, causing him to rise as a vampire after his death. He resents Katrina and seeks revenge against her and the hero, succeeding in killing Katrina but causing his own death because of it.}}

 

* [[Batman Gambit]]: How he gets rid of {{spoiler|Katrina}}.

* [[Charm Person]]: His stand-by ability.

A mysterious and beautiful young woman who is the first person the hero meets in ''Shadows of Darkness''. She only appears by night, never in Mordavia proper, and has brief conversations with the hero. As it turns out, however, she is the Dark Master, a powerful sorceress and vampire who is attempting to bring the [[Eldritch Abomination]] Avoozl into the world, casting eternal night over the land. {{spoiler|She developed feelings for the hero, which would prove to be her undoing as Ad Avis threatened the hero, leading to a fatal [[Taking the Bullet]]. In ''Dragon Fire'', the hero can choose to rescue her from Hades, restoring her humanity and opening up the potential for a romance. That can end in marriage unless you're a Paladin or Thief.}}

 

* [[Broken Bird]]

* [[Charm Person]]

Ferrari's right-hand man; like the hero, he seems to be something of an unwilling accomplice (more so as the game progresses). In ''Trial By Fire'', he smuggles water in Raseir, a capital crime which sees him dragged off supposedly for execution. However, Ugarte returns in ''Dragon Fire'', having been freed thanks to the hero's actions and much more grateful than Ferrari, serving as the Thief's source of info in the underground dealings of Silmaria. {{spoiler|In the Thief playthrough, Ugarte gets poisoned just before revealing the identity of King Justinian's assassin, and like Rakeesh will die unless the player takes the proper steps.}}

 

* [[Knowledge Broker]]

* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: As with Ferrari, Ugarte is a composite of [[Peter Lorre]]'s characters from ''[[Casablanca]]'' and ''[[The Maltese Falcon]]''.
