Line 61:
* [[Knight Errant]]
* [[Knight in Shining Armor]]
* [[The Mentor]]: He is a support figure and teacher to all of the classes, but he's particularly important to a fighter who becomes a Paladin.▼
* [[My Species Doth Protest Too Much]]: The Liontaurs are [[Always Lawful Good]] to the extreme, considering honor to be more precious than life and willing to go to war to protect it. However, Liontaurs are also extremely proud, aggressive, and tend to be eager for combat, and while Rakeesh is also quite [[Lawful Good]], he is far more laid back, sees far more value in protecting life than most Liontaurs, and works hard to broker peace whenever possible.
* [[Supporting Leader]]: Especially in the third game.▼
▲* [[The Mentor]]: He is a support figure and teacher to all of the classes, but he's particularly important to a fighter who becomes a Paladin.
* [[Petting Zoo People]]: He's some combination of lion and human, with the body of a lion, torso of a human, and head of... a lion again.
▲* [[Supporting Leader]]: Especially in the third game.
'''Baba Yaga'''
Line 72:
* [[Affably Evil]]: She may want to eat you, but darned if she isn't ''polite'' about it. She's also got quite a dark sense of humor, and is willing to be surprisingly friendly and chummy with the Hero in the fourth game... as long as he's bringing her something to eat instead of him, anyway.
* [[Baleful Polymorph]]: One of her favorite tricks.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: When she shows up again in ''Shadows of Darkness'', she'd certainly like revenge but realizes that antagonizing you is a bad idea; instead she gives you [[Fetch Quest]]s. However, if you tick her off sufficiently or fail to honor your end of the bargain, she '''will''' kill and eat you.
* [[I'm a Humanitarian]]: Although ''Shadows of Darkness'' does point out it's not cannibalism for ogres to eat humans.
▲** [[Extreme Omnivore]]: In addition to mandrake mousse and elderberry pie (and humans, of course), she is also partial to bones, the secretions of an [[Eldritch Abomination]], and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|garlic.]] She'll also go into explicit details about the "wyvern waffles" she had for breakfast, if you dare to ask...
* [[Public Domain Character]]
* [[Wicked Witch]]: [[Downplayed]].
Line 88:
* [[Evil Sorcerer]]: Ad Avis is formidable sorcerer who uses magic for his own selfish desires. Aziza believed he was very likely to be responsible for what happened to Raseir long before the Hero proved it to be true.
* [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]: You wouldn't be able to beat him in ''Trial By Fire'' if he didn't try to trap you.
* {{spoiler|[[The Starscream]]: His actions in ''Quest for Glory II'' are primarily aimed at gaining the power he needs to free himself of Katrina's control. In ''Quest for Glory IV'', he tries to manipulate the Hero into killing her (since Ad Avis can't attack her due to their bond, nor can he avenge himself on the Hero directly so long as Katrina is alive) to free him. Later, he tricks Katrina into attacking ''him'' so the bond between them will be broken and he can fight back, then plays on her feelings for the Hero to kill her. All because he chafes under her control and wants to be the Dark Master himself}}.▼
* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: As far as anyone knows, the coup in Raseir is the doing of the Emir's brother and his [[Dragon-in-Chief]], Khaveen. ''Very'' few people know Ad Avis is using the Emir's brother as a [[Puppet King]], and it's Ad Avis that Khaveen truly answers to.
* {{spoiler|[[Never Found the Body]]: Well, the first time around.}}
* [[The Plan]]: His actions in ''Trial By Fire'' are part of a larger one.
* [[Politically-Incorrect Villain]]: He hates women {{spoiler|or maybe just one in particular, though he still enjoys making life miserable for every woman in Raseir.}}
▲* {{spoiler|[[The Starscream]]: His actions in ''Quest for Glory II'' are primarily aimed at gaining the power he needs to free himself of Katrina's control. In ''Quest for Glory IV'', he tries to manipulate the Hero into killing her (since Ad Avis can't attack her due to their bond, nor can he avenge himself on the Hero directly so long as Katrina is alive) to free him.

'''Shema and Shameen'''
Line 120:
A member of the Simbani tribe from Tarna, Uhura left her homeland in order to get around the restrictions placed on women. She took up residence in Shapeir, becoming the head of the Fighters' Guild and having a son, Simba, by one of the palace guards. She helps the hero with information and sparring, then returns to Tarna along with him and Rakeesh. Back home, Uhura again helps the hero by showing him the [[Rite of Passage]] for Simbani warriors and trying to convince the Laibon (chief) to seek peace with the Leopardmen.
* [[Action Girl]]/[[Action Mom]]
* [[Eloquent in My Native Tongue]]
* [[Lady of War]]
Line 138 ⟶ 137:
* [[Dating Catwoman]]: She's interested in and attracted to the Hero, and he can return that if he brings her back from the dead in the fifth game.
* [[Femme Fatale]]: Even from a very early age, Katrina was more than willing to use her looks to get what she wanted, and eventually, it turned into a survival mechanism as well.
* [[Love Redeems]]
* [[Most Definitely Not a Villain]]: Like it needs to be spoilered.
