Line 10:
* [[The Chosen One]]
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: You are referred to by your name a handful of times. For the most part, you are referred to as "Hero", "Prince of Shapeir", and "Paladin" (if you are that class).
* [[Fighter, Mage, Thief]]: The core classes, but since points are given at the beginning to help build the character, he can have some cross-class skills.
** [[Magic Knight]]: Giving Magic to a non-Wizard allows this, as does being a Wizard (the first spell a Magic-User learns in the first game is Zap, a spell to assist in close combat). A Paladin gets a few spells, but they use Stamina, and aren't considered magic.
Line 72 ⟶ 71:
An ogress witch with a taste for human flesh and a mean streak a mile wide. She serves as the [[Big Bad]] for the original game, her curse being the reason everything bad is happening in Spielburg. After you break the curse and get rid of her, she returns in game 4, hanging out in Mordavia because of the dark energy given off by the Dark One's cave. She isn't fully antagonistic in this game, despite her desire for revenge (which can be bought off), but you still have to deal with her to win.
* [[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
* [[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.
Line 88 ⟶ 87:
* [[Charm Person]]: His stand-by ability.
* [[Ethnic Magician]]: Subverted. Despite his appearance and presence in ''Quest for Glory II'', his name's Latin (though pronounced as if it were Arabic: Ad A-'''vis''', rather than Ad '''A'''-vis), and his true background is closer to Eastern European.
* [[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
* [[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}}.
Line 136 ⟶ 135:
* [[Back from the Dead]]: Well, she '''is''' a vampire. {{spoiler|And again in ''Dragon Fire'', as a normal human.}}
* [[Broken Bird]]: In the game, she's ultimately a deeply lonely and unhappy woman terrified of her vulnerability during daylight. She kidnapped Tanya both because she desired a daughter of her own, and saw how her parents treated her and thought they were horrible to her. Katrina later refused to force the Hero into helping her because she wanted him to help her and love her on his own. She only turned to the geas after he "steals" Tanya away from her, which she viewed as an attack against and betrayal of ''her''. Her backstory was later expanded upon in Lori Cole's blog, and revealed she has suffered a long history of misogyny-fueled resentment and jealousy from male wizards over her great magical aptitude because of her beauty and gender. She was later seduced, turned against her will, and enslaved by the previous Dark Master. All of this fed into the distrust, emptiness, and feelings of powerlessness evident in the game, which then led to her attempt to awaken Avoozl.
* [[Charm Person]]: Much like her student Ad Avis, she has the ability to do this to
* [[Dark Magical Girl]]
* [[Dating Catwoman]]: She's interested in and attracted to
* [[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.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Jennifer Hale (in [[Quest for Glory IV|QFG4]]).
Line 249 ⟶ 248:
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 hero and Uhura's words for peace. Yesufu is soon to enter his rite of passage, in which he will compete against The Hero if he is a fighter or paladin. Despite this rivalry, he forms a strong friendship with the hero, and eagerly comes to his aid at the end of the game.
* [[The Rival]]: He and
* {{spoiler|[[You Killed My Father]]: He immediately kills the leopardman chief when he kills the Laibon}}.
* [[The Lancer]]: He becomes a fast friend to
'''Rajah Sah Tarna'''
Line 278 ⟶ 277:
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: On the council, she is the one most in favor of avoiding war, realizing that the Demons are behind this.
* [[Happily Married]]: It's quite obvious that she and Rakeesh are a loving and affectionate couple.
* [[Ms. Exposition]]: She fills both Rakeesh and
* [[Seers]]
