Aidan: Diablo Character Analysis

Race: Human

Sex: Male

Faction: Khanduras

Rating: 5.6

Alignment: Neutral Good

Arena Status: Active (S2)

Aidan, also known as the Dark Wanderer, stands as one of the most iconic and tragic figures in the Diablo franchise. Initially introduced as the unnamed Warrior in the original Diablo game (1996), Aidan was retroactively given a full identity and deeper lore in subsequent titles and companion literature. As the eldest son of King Leoric of Khanduras, brother to Albrecht, and eventual host to Diablo, Lord of Terror, Aidan's arc spans from noble intentions to a catastrophic descent into darkness. His story intersects with major events in Sanctuary's history, bridging the fall of Tristram, the resurgence of the Prime Evils, and the shaping of future protagonists such as Leah, his daughter.

Rating: 7.6

Dassem Ultor, also known under the alias "Traveller," is one of the most formidable and tragic figures in the Malazan Book of the Fallen series. Originally a Dal Honese sword fighter, Dassem rose to become the First Sword of the Malazan Empire and the supreme commander of its military forces. He was responsible for developing much of the Empire's tactical doctrine, instilling a culture that allowed soldiers to argue and think independently. This leadership style helped forge the Malazan Army into what many consider the most effective fighting force the world had ever seen.

Blade: Black Company Character Analysis

Race: Human (Southern)

Sex: Male

Faction: Black Company

Rating: 6.8

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Arena Status: Active (S2)

Blade is one of the most enigmatic and compelling mortal characters to rise to prominence during the Shadowmaster arc of The Black Company saga. A lean, dark-skinned southerner with a burning hatred for priests and an unwavering loyalty to his few chosen companions, Blade stands apart from typical mercenary archetypes. He originates from somewhere north of Taglios on the southern continent, though the exact location remains a mystery. First appearing in Shadow Games, Blade quickly becomes an instrumental figure in the Black Company’s campaigns, shifting from local rebel fighter to deep-cover infiltrator, military leader, and, ultimately, tragic casualty of the Protectorate war.

Peryite: Elder Scrolls Character Analysis

Race: Daedric Prince

Sex: Male

Faction: The Pits

Rating: 7.0

Alignment: Lawful Evil

Arena Status: Active (S2)

Peryite is a Daedric Prince whose influence far exceeds his reputation. Sometimes dismissed by scholars and cultists alike as one of the "lesser" Daedra, Peryite in fact governs some of the most persistent and insidious forces in Mundus. Known as the Taskmaster and the Lord of Pestilence, he is the Daedric Prince of disease, contagion, and natural order, embodying a paradox of filth and structure. Despite his draconic visage—a form often interpreted as a mockery of Akatosh—Peryite does not wield temporal authority or dominion over time. Instead, his power seeps through the invisible cracks of civilization, where plagues fester, systems rot, and rot, in turn, becomes ritual.
