Line 179:
** [[Blatant Lies]]: "Oh, and if you want a good time, try the Dragon's Breath!"

== ''Quest for Glory II: Trial
'''Aziza'''
The resident spellcaster of Shapeir, Aziza is a powerful water-attuned sorceress with a focus on divination and mind for manners. She serves as the

A long time ago, a Shaperian woman went against the sexist rules of society and became a healer. Unfortunately, one day, a bandit tricked her into coming to his camp. As she tried to escape from the bandits, she cried out for help and was transformed into a tree by a passing djinn. In ''Trial

Line 231:
'''Nawar'''
One of the many harem girls in Raseir's palace, Nawar's first introduction is a voice making lots (and we do mean ''lots'') of innuendo when the
* [[Ascended Extra]]: In ''[[Quest for Glory II]]'', she is just one of many harem girls, not even having a distinct sprite. The only thing that makes her noticeable is that she is more flirty than the others. In ''[[Quest for Glory V]]'', she's a full blown love interest.
Line 239:
== ''Quest for Glory III: Wages of War'' ==
'''Yesufu'''
Son of the leader (Laibon) of the Simbani. Less eager for war than his father, he is divided by his father and people's wishes, and the

** [[Papa Wolf]]: The main reason he is so eager for war:

The resident apothecary in Tarna, as well as an out-and-out tree-hugging hippie. Salim is eager to help out the
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: He rambles about [[Clue (game)|Colonel Mustard]] following the murders and poisonings in ''Dragon Fire'', only for Julanar to remind him that mustard is just a seed.
* [[Erudite Stoner]]: He doesn't actually light up in-series, but he has a hookah in ''Wages of War''
* [[Friend to All Living Things]]: Besides being friendly [[New Age Retro Hippie]], he has a practical reason for being nice, as his healing pills are made from honey bird feathers. If the feathers are acquired through hostile action, it ruins the pills.
* [[Happily Married]]: To Julanar by the time of ''Dragon Fire''.
Line 270:
'''Kreesha Sah Tarna'''
Rakeesh's wife, a rare Liontaur magic-user and a member of Tarna's ruling council. Along with her husband, Kreesha helps the

** [[Big Damn Heroes]]
* [[Heel Face Turn]]
* [[Unperson]]: This is essentially what being declared "honorless" means in Tarna. No one will speak to or have any dealings with such a person. And since the threat of war means that the trade caravans are avoiding the area, Harami is really screwed
'''Manu The Monkey'''
A talking monkey the
* [[Sixth Ranger]]: Agrees to take Harami's place as one of the

* [[Copy Protection]]: In order to advance in the game, you need to give Cranium some missing formulae... which come printed in the game manual.
* [[Expy]]: Of Dr. Brain, from another Sierra series; gets a lampshade in-game.
* [[Flat Earth Atheist]]: He insists that all magic is either nonsense or science that people don't understand yet.
Line 318:
* [[Mad Scientist]]
* [[The Medic]]: Cranium is the only consistent source of healing and poison cure potions in the game.

She does miss her parents, but is convinced they hate her and would be scared of her now that she's a "Bad Thing". {{spoiler|The
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]] She's really nice as long as you're friendly to her, but if you try to attack her, she'll hypnotize and then bite you.
Line 335:
'''Igor'''
Mordavia's gravedigger, he is... um, well, he's the standard [[The Igor|Igor]] type. The biggest departure is his generally chipper attitude and love of [[Incredibly Lame Pun|graveyard humor]]. {{spoiler|The first major event of the game is Igor's disappearance, which leads to the villagers capturing a gypsy in their paranoia. The

== ''Quest for Glory V: Dragon Fire'' ==
'''Magnum Opus'''
A Hesperian hero who came to Silmaria to participate in the Rites of Rulership. He has a reputation for heroism, but unfortunately, not one for his massive ego. {{spoiler|He is the second sacrifice made to destroy the Dragon Pillars that bind the Dragon of Doom
* [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy]]: And he'll never let you forget it, boasting about his martial prowess at every opportunity. He is a skilled warrior, but it doesn't justify the ego.
* [[Fake Ultimate Hero]]
* {{spoiler|[[Sacrificial Lamb]]: Dies after the second rite}}.
* [[Ted Baxter]]:
** Not entirely. He does win the first challenge if you don't. And in the Arena, he tends to defeat any opponent except (usually) Elsa.
