Advent of Twilight Character Guide


Dramatis Personae for Advent of Twilight

Good Guys

Gourry Gabriev
Referred to as the One that is written in the final act of the Play of Twilight, his fate is still unclear and remains a mystery. The former swordsman companion of Lina Inverse, her death troubled him greatly. This was due to the fact that Gourry had devoted his life solely to Lina, appearing noble and self-sacrificing in giving to Lina's whims, mostly. The truth was, of course, that Gourry didn't view himself as a person of worth. He needed Lina to feel needed himself. Now caught in the web of the play, Gourry moves to try to find himself amidst all of this.

Quar
A priest of Ceiphied, he is a man who has given himself almost entirely to the faith that he supports. Unshakable in his belief, Quar is seldom shocked or even surprised that much by other people's actions. Always the levelheaded one of the whole bunch, he tries to ensure the integrity of everything, though his preaching tends to come out somewhat cold. He tries to keep a calm, cool, straightforward head, not swayed by the dilemmas around him though inwardly he begins to be shaken by the unworldly nature of the Play of Twilight.

Ashen the Cleaver
The stoutest and oldest member of the band, this dwarf has learned one thing that helped him keep ahead in the world. If it won't open, bash it down and if that doesn't work, get a bigger thing to bash it down with. Pretty much a way to describe his life, Ashen greatly troubles many of the other members with his unbridled adoration of his axe, which he named Lucy. The way he strokes it a lot and speaks with it is something that annoys the others. Not all to sure what is happening around him, Ashen is determine to keep on going no matter what.

Arthur Roelle
Having once roamed through the lands under the given title as the Legendary Hero King, Arthur is one of the most accomplished swordsman on the peninsula. He has a heavy background dealing with the Mazoku, though he holds absolutely no loyalty to them at all. After having vanished from the face of the peninsula for a few years, he appeared out of the shadows to aid Gourry on his quest. He and Quar seem to have met in the past, but that remains hazy. Arthur does speak about his fiancée, who he describes as mad psychopath.

Elizabeth "Liz" Theodore Gabriev
This spunky little girl is Gourry's younger sister and also an accomplished witch to boot. More interested in either having a good time or doing something interesting, she tags along with the group after they ran into her when she was pulling a scam. Though she is not necessarily evil, she often doesn't consider other peoples' feelings. Liz tends to act happy and nice, at least when she isn't trying to deceive or rip someone off. Her premier weapon of choice is a wand that seems to do as much good as it does bad.

Mysterious People

Zelgadiss Greyword
An enigmatic chimera with his own agenda throughout all of this, he had been missing ever since the battle with Dread. He had previously infiltrated AnCev's operation after assuming the guise of one of the minions. The Banelich quickly discovered him and Zel had to flee after he confronted Lymafae. Working for a mysterious third party that is working against the Banelich and the Master, Zel is willing to sacrifice everything for the ends. Also recently he has been seen with a falcon perched on his shoulder, though few know what that means.

Kaiser
Referred by some as merely the "abomination", Kaiser comes from a checkered heritage that has earned him the hatred of both the Ryuzoku and Mazoku. Though few are sure of his full potential, his presence is enough to make few want to try. Working for the Master to complete the Play of Twilight, Kaiser has more in this than even the Master knows. His most prize possession is the Staff of Gods that he has, its power is one of the few things that allow him to continue his existence.

Bad Guys

Ghuralli
One of the servants of AnCev, he met a rather quick end when he ran into Zelgadiss.

Ogre
Another of AnCev's servants, Ogre's calculating mind and his insufferable rage makes him a deadly foe to deal with.

Ynreut
A minion of the late Ghuralli, he is venturing to the city of Grayfalcon to accomplish his late master's plan. Few have ever seen his true form and his mastery of magic makes him someone that should not be trifled with.

AnCev
The Banelich that has so far been running most of the show, he greatly despises the Master and would be more than happy to eliminate the upstart. Sporting great power beyond those of a normal lich, he managed to easily seized control of the Kalmaart region. He is deeply troubled by the supposed ability of the Play of Twilight and its capabilities to map out fate. Currently he is sending his minions out to retrieve the two items he'll need to accomplish the final act of Twilight. Only then will he finally confront the Master on what is truly going on.

Badass

Master
The real manipulator behind everything, he has been sitting in the shadows watching and controlling everything in order to achieve what he sees as being foreordained. Master has dedicated himself completely to finishing the Play of Twilight and ensures that everything is completed. Only then will the final truth about everything be revealed.

Lymafae
A puppet for AnCev and used as his own personal assassin, this mysterious girl is immensely powerful with the essence of shadows that she draws upon. Wielding the Black Dagger of Destruction, she is capable of harming even a Mazoku with its edges. Though Kaiser has mention she is fairly accomplished in magic, she has never been seen using any. Her name comes from ancient language of the dhaerow.
