* [[And I Must Scream]]: His worst fear comes true in the bad endings, {{spoiler|being trapped in the darkness he fears, forever.}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Anti-Hero]]/[[Anti-Villain]]}}: {{spoiler|One of the two right now. He wants to redeem himself at any cost.}}.

* [[Famous Last Words]]: For the bad ending. {{spoiler|[[The Scream|Ohhh!!]] [[Big No|NO!!]] Arrrgahahghh... AHH!!}}!!
* {{spoiler|[[Heel Realization]]: He immediatelyfinally realizesacknowledged whathe was a monster after butchering a young girl (in his words, killing an innocent to save a murderer — himself — when once he iswould have killed a murderer to save an innocent), and it tearstore him up from inside. Realizing that Alexander temptedled him down this roaddark path givesfilled him thewith desiremurderous to murder himrage. However,Yet just knowing what he didhad done made him wish he justhad died rightor thereallowed andthe Shadow to take him, leaving him mentally incapable of carrying out his thenvengeance. Wanting to stop Alexander even soregardless, thishe leddrinks to...the amnesia mixture}}.
* [[Heroic Mime]]: Subverted, Daniel's diary entries are all narrated by himself and the player occasionally hears him mumble and ramble to himself during game play. The subversion comes when {{spoiler|the player first encounters Agrippa, who seems to react to what he is saying, but the player hears not a peep from Daniel.}}.
** Possibly explained by the fact he might posses {{spoiler|[[Psychic Powers]], and could read Daniel's mind before he could say anything.}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]}} In the good ending, {{spoiler|Hehe sends Agrippa through the gates to his and Alexander's world. Leaving himself and Alexander at the shadows mercy}}. {{spoiler|[[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|The Shadow has none]]}}.
* [[He Who Fights Monsters]]: {{spoiler|Daniel after being mentored by Baron Alexander in how to deal with the Shadow of the Orb.}}.
{{quote|'''Baron Alexander''': *While a torture victim pleas for his life* Don't pay attention to his lies! We're dealing with monsters here, after all. He set a man on fire.}}
* [[Identity Amnesia]]: Induced deliberately, see above.
Line 20:
* [[Non-Action Guy]]
* [[Primal Fear]]: His fear of the dark. In which if you stand in darkness his [[Sanity Meter]] will drain.
** {{spoiler|[[Downer Ending|The Shadow]] [[Fate Worse Than Death|engulfs him in]] [[And I Must Scream|absolute darkness in the bad ending... Forever.]]}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Unwitting Pawn]]}}: All thanks to helping Alexander. [[Spanner in the Works|You can choose]] [[Multiple Endings|to screw him over, however.]]
* {{spoiler|[[Villain Protagonist]]}}: {{spoiler|Temporarily and only in the flashbacks. Before the game starts, he has sacrificed many people to save his own skin. Many of them probably innocent, although he was never told this. It's made clear, however, that once you get to the end of the story, that he regrets what he has done.}}.
 
=== Baron Alexander ===
Line 29:
The main antagonist. Daniel gave himself the mission of murdering him. [[Complete Monster|For good reason.]] Unfortunately, it is not as simple as he thought.
 
* [[And I Must Scream]]: {{spoiler|In the good/Revenge ending.}}.
** {{spoiler|[[Karma Houdini|In the bad ending]] [[Downer Ending|though...]]}}...
* [[Aristocrats Are Evil]]: Played mostly straight—while the Baron is ''definitely'' a [[Complete Monster]], the why of it might gain him sympathy points with the right people—aspeople... as revealed in a handful of Notes, he's {{spoiler|simply trying to get back home}}.
* [[The Corrupter]]: {{spoiler|Let's face it. The only reason that Daniel became a [[Complete Monster|monster]] himself, at least until he realized what was happening, was because Alexander manipulated him.}}.
* [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones]]: {{spoiler|His motivation for all the things he's done is to get back to his family.}}. Doesn't really make up for torturing innocent people.
* [[Famous Last Words]]: {{spoiler|No you fool! You killed us! you killed us BOTH}}!!}}
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: {{spoiler|Alexander just wants to return to his homeworld and reunite with his beloved wife. And if the energy needed to do this can only be obtained [[Powered by a Forsaken Child|through torturing people]], then so be it.}}.
* [[Have a Nice Death]]: {{spoiler|Thank you my friend. Your sacrifice will not be forgotten. You will be celebrated, forever!}}!
* [[Karma Houdini]]: {{spoiler|[[Downer Ending|In the bad ending.]]}} {{spoiler|[[Earn Your Happy Ending|You can prevent it though.]]}}.
* [[Laser-Guided Karma]]: {{spoiler|[[Fate Worse Than Death|Gets screwed over]]}} {{spoiler|[[Karmic Death|ROYALLY]]}} {{spoiler|[[Earn Your Happy Ending|in the Good/Revenge endings]]}} {{spoiler|[[Spanner in the Works|by the very man]]}} {{spoiler|[[Unwitting Pawn|he thought to]]}} {{spoiler|[[The Dog Bites Back|use.]]}}.
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]
* [[Never My Fault]]: Yes Alexander, this is all Daniel's fault. You didn't do nothing... {{spoiler|except corrupt him and make him willing to torture and kill people. All just to get your hands on a magic orb so you can return home and to hell to everyone else. Yes, [[Sarcasm Mode|you're completely innocent.]]}}.
* [[Non-Action Big Bad]]
* [[Soft-Spoken Sadist]]: He's not a sadist, but he inflicts pain with meticulous care and a soothing voice.
Line 53:
 
* [[Aristocrats Are Evil]]: Accepted to kidnap countless of man, woman and children for political advancement.
* [[Heel Realization]]: {{spoiler|He confessed how much of a monster he was after being poisoned.}}.
* [[Karmic Transformation]]: It is heavily implied that Wilhelm and his men became the Gatherers.
* [[Noodle Implements]]: Wilhelm wrote that Alexander hired him because of his "follies of his past" instead of his competence as a soldier.
Line 63:
{{quote|'''Voiced by:''' Bill Corkery}}
 
The famed alchemist himself, friend of Daniel. {{spoiler|Found in the castle as some sort of corpse-like body.}}.
 
* [[And I Must Scream]]: His body can't move at all and he has been here for a long time.
Line 76:
 
* [[Bigger Bad]]
* [[Blue and Orange Morality]]: There are hints that the Shadow is not actively malicious, but is simply following its duty. {{spoiler|In the revenge ending, it decides that Alexander's death has "redeemed" Daniel in its eyes, and it no longer chases him.}}.
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: Shapeless and alien, it bends reality around itself and cannot be stopped by any normal means whatsoever. It will tear apart whatever it has to in order to reach its target, and those marked by it tend to go insane before they die.
* [[Meat Moss]]: How it makes its presence known.
Line 82:
 
 
== ''Justine'' characters ==
=== The nameless protagonist of ''Justine'' ===
{{quote|'''Voiced by:''' Emily Corkery}}
Line 90:
* [[Acting for Two]]: Emily Corkery voices Justine and provides the grunts for the girl, when the game doesn't reuse old Daniel sound effects.
* [[Heroic Mime]]: Even more so than Daniel. The girl just grunts and screams.
* [[No Name Given]]: Her name is not mentioned until the very end, {{spoiler|unless you count all the times Justine talks about herself.}}.
* [[One-Hit-Point Wonder]]: Very annoying, given that you cannot save your game.
* [[Supporting Protagonist]]: The DLC is really more about Justine, the [[Player Character]] is there so the player can solve the puzzles and learn about Justine.
** [[Flat Character]]
* [[Tender Tears]]: The only time she displays any feeling {{spoiler|other than being a sadistic monster}} is in the [[Room Full of Crazy|winding halls with the blood messages.]] She won't stop crying till you escape the hallways.
** She crys if you saved the hostages. If you didn't save anyone she snaps [[Go Mad from the Revelation|realizing shes no better than Justine]] for sacrificing three innocents to save her own life and [[Laughing Mad|she softly giggles all the way to the exit.]]. {{spoiler|Justine doesn't want to lose her humanity. Thus goes insane if she fails her own test.}}.
 
=== Justine ===
{{quote|'''Voiced by:''' Emily Corkery}}
 
The main antagonist of the DLC of the same name. Trying to escape from her dungeon slowly reveals the details of Justine's life and how she set up her torture dungeon. {{spoiler|Revealed later to be the [[Player Character]] at the same time.}}.
 
* [[Above Good and Evil]]: [[Aristocrats Are Evil|"Laws are made for cretins!! The aristocracy doesn't need to know right from wrong. We are always right."]]
* [[Acting for Two]]: Emily Corkery voices Justine tand the [[Player Character]].
* [[Always Someone Better]]: [[Can't Catch Up|Her feelings about her mother's "Blinding beauty". And her growing desire to become more beautiful than her mother.]]
* [[Aristocrats Are Evil]]: Less "evil" and more "''utterly despicable''".
