DragonFable/Characters

This is a list of major characters in the Artix Entertainment game DragonFable. In alphabetical order they are as follows:

Artix von Krieger
Artix is the in-game alter ego of the game's creator, Adam Bohn. As a young child, he and Vayle lived in the same village. When they were both young, he tried to rescue her from a river, but they were both washed downstream to an underground cave. While trying to find their way out, they stumbled upon the Darkness Orb, which both touched. Although Vayle gave in to the darkness, Artix remained strong and vowed to always stand for good. Later, when his village was destroyed by zombies (controlled by Noxus), Artix joined the paladins to defeat the undead. He now trains the Paladin armor.

Cysero
Cysero is the alter ego of the game's real-life creative director. In-game, Cysero is the mad magical weaponsmith and owner of Cysero's Superstore of Savings, which sells powerful weapons, armor, and accessories to players for Dragon Coins. Although he is rarely home, Cysero shares a tower with Warlic. After a number of arguments over Cysero's (enchanted) laundry, they divided the tower in two with a yellow line down the middle, and neither one is allowed to step over onto the other's half.

King Alteon
King Alteon is the fearless leader of Lore, who led a war to fight King Slugwrath and won and took the throne. His full title is King Alteon the Balanced.

Rhubarb
Rhubarb was a highly respected First Mate Pirate in Osprey Cove under Captain Blackberry, until Blackberry transformed into the monstrous Brackenberry. He then took command of the pirates. Since Blackberry's defeat, Captain Rhubarb has been a good leader of the pirates.

Thyton
Thyton is the leader of the Shadow of the Wind ninja clan in the village of the same name. If the player chooses to do Thyton's quests instead of Rhubarb's, they give the Wind Orb, called the Jewel of Four Winds by the ninjas, to Thyton for safekeeping. He considers it an ancestral treasure of his clan that can summon their strongest guardian.

Warlic
Warlic is widely known throughout Lore as the Blue Mage. He is living near Lymcrest, and has helped them with their troubles with Xan, in which he had a personal stake. Xan and Warlic were once friends attending the Swordhaven Magic Academy. Both fell in love with the same girl, Jaania, resulting in a magic duel between the two powerful mages.Warlic accidentally set Xan on fire. It would have killed him, as Warlic was unable to stop the flames, but he did manage to change it to a healing fire instead, keeping Xan alive. As a result of the fight, however, Jaania was trapped in a crystal. Warlic believed the only way to free her was by his and Xan's combined power, but Xan swore he would free her on his own. He also swore vengeance against Warlic. Ultimately, Warlic and the player defeat Xan, although he is probably not dead. Warlic also shares a tower with Cysero, but Warlic cannot stand Cysero's mess, so they painted a line down the center that neither can cross.

Zhoom
Zhoom, a half-sand elf from the Sandsea, is a ranger and a mercenary. He had a difficult childhood, since one of the previous members of the Sek-Duat dynasty hunted the sand elves into extinction. He worked for Sek-Duat XV to defeat the resistance against his rule until he discovered Sek-Duat's plan to get rid of both Zhoom and the player by pitting them against one another and sending the Sphinxter to kill the winner. Zhoom's code of honor kept him from joining the player, until he found out that Sek-Duat didn't plan to pay him. Then he joins the player to defeat Sek-Duat. Once the Light Orb is found, the player gives it to Zhoom for protection.

Villains
!-- don't alphabetize by the, please --

Captain Blackberry
Captain Blackberry is the pirate Captain of the Red Betty and Osprey Cove, which is in the pirate's quests. A pirate named Crossbone found the Ruins of Kordana, and found out Kordana had the Wind Orb. Blackberry found Crossbone's diary telling him where to find the wind orb, the only piece of the puzzle he needed to finish the spell he found 20 years ago in a strange chest in the ocean. He used the spell from the chest and wove it into the very planks of his ship the Red Betty. In order to finish the spell and become King Braken (God of the Sea) he needed the Wind Orb, but Kordana was too powerful for Blackberry to steal it. So in a last ditch effort, he leaked the location of the Wind Orb to Sepulchure, and Sepulchure sent Drakath to steal the Wind Orb from Kordana. He knew Sepulchure would keep it for himself so he tracked Drakath into a cave and sent the player to fight him, as it is only by battling his greatest foe could the wielder activate the orb. During the battle, the wind orb activated and spirited Drakath away to the Red Betty, but only after releasing the power that had built up inside, defeating the hero. At this point the wind orb would help Drakath no longer, so Blackberry instructed the hero to defeat him, then took it. Blackberry used the wind orb to activate the Red Betty's Spell and transformed into King Braken. He was defeated after the hero summoned his dragon and battled him in Osprey Cove. Although his ultimate fate is untold, many believe that he is dead. (Note: This may create an apparent inconsistency with the information given in the entry for Okuchi No Okami.  This is because players are supposed to choose whether they support the pirates or the ninjas, and complete one quest chain or the other. Players can complete both chains if they wish, but it leads to inconsistencies.)

DragonMaster FrostScythe
DragonMaster FrostScythe commanded an army of Ice/Snow monsters to Falconreach in order to get the orb. This orb would make FrostSycthe the next DragonLord. FrostScythe commanded his Ice Dragon, Glaisaurus until the player killed it. FrostSycthe said Glaisaurus would have been useless to him anyway as his Dragon Amulet broke during combat. Having lost his army, lost his dragon, lost his Dragon Amulet, and having caught a cold, Frostscythe retreated to unknown Plains (sneezing). In the 2nd last quest of Guardian's, the player is sent to FrostScythe's home to stop him from attacking Falconreach. The player points out the mysterious presence of the previously killed Glaisaurus and then learns that FrostScythe has MULTIPLE ice dragons. It is also revealed that the Dragon Amulet is his key to controlling his dragons, and that he is in pursuit of a third so he can return to his plans of invading the guardian tower.

Drakath
Drakath is the leader of the Darkwolf bandits. He was introduced in a battle where he attempted to steal the Black Dragon Box from Lady Celestia. He is the only son of King Slugwrath, an evil king that was defeated by Sir Alteon after years of war. Drakath is working for Sepulchure, in hopes of gaining enough power and the Necrotic Blade of Doom (the 5th Doom Weapon) to regain his father's throne for himself. Drakath went into the Ruins of Kordana and stole the Wind Orb from Kordana, but the player character beat him and took it back, causing him to retreat from the island.

Fluffy
Fluffy hatched from the egg in the White Dragon Box and was thought to be the Order Dragon which would save all of Lore. During his search for power, Drakath stole the White Dragon Box from the priests of the Temple of the Four Winds and took it to Sepulchure. Fluffy hatched as a sweet, large-eyed pink dragon, but Sepulchure promptly transformed it into a tiny dracolich (undead dragon). His dragon amulet gives him the power to transform Fluffy into a full-grown dracolich dragon on which Sepulchure can ride. After completing the Ninja or Pirate quest chain, upgraded characters have the option to attempt an (unwinnable) battle with Sepulchure and Fluffy.

Gorgok
Gorgok was DragonFable's first dragon and its first boss. It holds the town of Willowshire under constant attack by both it and its Dravir minions. Players with Dragon Amulets can battle Gorgok with their titan dragon. Gorgok probably attacked Willowshire to obtain the Nature Orb, which once resided in the basement of Willowshire Guardian Tower.

Lord Frydae XIII
Lord Frydae XIII is a vampire and the great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great (9 greats) grandfather of Thursday. He resides in the Old Guardian Tower in Amityvale, and he turns out to be The Master of the events in Amityvale (the one responsible for most of the evil in Amityvale.)

Mysterious Stranger
Mysterious Stranger sells the Doom Weapons outside of Falconreach. He is thought to have great significance later on in the game. He shares the same appearance and personality as the Mysterious Necromancer in AdventureQuest. After you upgrade your doom weapon the first time in the crystal clear lake quest, you can upgrade your doom weapon by bringing him 5 unlucky doom essence. Then you bring 8 unlucky doom essences to the forge to upgrade your doom weapon even more. You can obtain unlucky doom essences in the haunted mansion quest. Many players believe him to be The Master of Sepulchure and his minions, although this is unlikely as nothing definite has been released.

The Necrotic Blade of Doom
The Necrotic Blade of Doom is a Doom Weapon (a pure elemental darkness spirit trapped in a weapon). It is wielded by Sepulchure for its 'Masters' plan (which is unknown for now).

Lady Vayle (The Necromantress)
Lady Vayle, also known as the Necromantress, grew up in the same village as Artix. When they were young, Artix tried to save her from a river, but both were washed downstream to an underground cave. While there, they stumbled into a Guardian Tower, where they found the Darkness Orb. After touching it, Vayle absorbed its power, literally becoming the Orb. Later, after she and Artix returned home, their village was attacked by zombies controlled by Noxus. Artix escaped into Doomwood, but Noxus found Vayle and convinced her to come with him. He promised he would teach her necromancy so she could raise her brother Edgar, who was killed by the zombies, from the dead. When Artix broke her crystal, Edgar's spirit was lost, and Artix tried to tell Vayle that Noxus was only using her. She initially refused to believe him, but after hearing Noxus admit it to Artix and the player, she joined them to defeat her former mentor. She still maintained that there must be a way to rescue her brother through necromancy, and left without any promise of turning to good.

Noxus
Noxus was the Dean of Necromancy University in Doomwood. He and his necromancer students created a huge army of undead for Seplechure, but it was destroyed by the players and Artix as they attacked the Necropolis. In the final battle between the player and Noxus, he revealed that he had controlled the zombies that attacked Vayle and Artix's village. He also admitted that he'd been using Vayle ever since because she had the power of the Darkness Orb within her. When she heard this, however, she joined with the player and Artix to defeat her former master.

Okuchi No Okami
Okuchi No Okami is a Devil Fox, who steals from the Ninja (he wants their Wind Scrolls). In the Ninja quests, he sells Drakath information about the Wind Orb. Then Okuchi offers to let the player hunt down Drakath if he can have the wind scrolls. If the player refuses to give up the scrolls, the player must fight Okuchi (you can't accept the offer anyway). Although it is not said, Okuchi is thought to be dead. He was once Thyton's highest ranking Ninja until he betrayed the village. He obtains the Jewel of the Four Winds from Drakath, and uses it to summon the guardian of the Ninja village (with the purpose of destroying the village, not protecting it). (Note: This may create an apparent inconsistency with the information given in the entry for Captain Blackberry.  This is because player characters are supposed to choose whether they support the Pirates or the Ninja, and complete one quest chain or the other.  You can complete both chains if you like, but it leads to inconsistencies.)

Sek-Duat XV
Sek-Duat XV is a tyrant emperor that rules over the Sandsea with an iron fist. His family have ruled the Sandsea for 1500 years, and this new emperor is more cruel and more evil than any before him. He hired Zhoom and paid him well for hunting down the members of the resistance forces. He has invited the player to his palace for defeating the Mumragon, and now his ancestor can safely rest in peace. He has asked the player to defeat the Sandwitch, that he claimed to steal villagers in the middle of the night, and to never be seen again, but, in fact, he stole a book from the Sandwitch, and he wants to use it to revive his first ancestor and eternally rule the Sandsea, using the light orb, and now that the Mumragons aren't longer alive, the place is safe for he to revive him. In the Sandsea's quest The Traitor, it is revealed that he needs the soul of 100 men that call him enemy, in order to revive his first ancestor. Then in the quest Zhowdown he told the hero/heroine to take down Zhoom believing the he is working for the resistance and then pay Zhoom to capture the hero/heroine but in fact he was trying to take down both the hero/heroine and Zhoom by sending the Sphinxter to kill them. In the Sandsea's penultimate quest, Be Alive Again, the hero/heroine and Zhoom find that Sek Duat XV is, in fact, Sek Duat the first! He became a lich to receive eternal life but he also was eternally unsatisfied, like all lichs are, so he wanted to become immortal in different ways. When he was searching for a cure, he was becoming more and more cruel, and not his ancestors were hunting the sand elves; he was. When he got (he sent his guards the steal it) the spell from the Sandwitch, he learned that he needs 100 souls and the light orb for the spell. He then proposed the hero\heroine and Zhoom to join him, but if the hero\heroine refuse (you can't accept the offer anyway), Sek Duat battles them, and loses. But because the people was still accepting Sek Duat as emperor and the rebels were hiding among the people of Sandsea it would be impossible to find the rebels, so he captured all of the people of Sandsea using his currently minions, and planned to sacrifice their souls for his immortality. But as his army is defeated, he summons the Dunelord to battle the hero\heroine and his\her titan dragon. When the Dunelord is defeated, Sek Duat's power is greatly diminished, but he was still a threat for the rebels.

Sepulchure
The primary villan of DragonFable, Sepulchure was once a hero of Lore who protected many lives. Unfortunately, he lost something that was dear to him and in his search for power, he was consumed by the Necrotic Blade of Doom and is now a doom knight. It is revealed that he does not wear his armor, but that his armor wears him, for he is bound to the darkness. Sepulchure's current location is inside his flying re-animated dracolich fortress. He is also in possession of one legendary dragon. The dragon came from the White Dragon Box belongs to him.

Sir Malifact
Sir Malifact was a holy paladin of justice until he and his two friends discovered a mysterious ring. After putting the ring on, Sir Malifact was transformed into an evil Death Knight. His two friends discovered that he reformed and came back to life each time he was defeated; however, they were able to end this process by scattering his equipment throughout the crypt in which they found the ring. In one of Artix's quests, Sir Malifact's ghost appears to the player character and urges him/her to collect his equipment, in the hope that it will help him remember what happened to him. After the hero has gathered all of the items, Sir Malifact again becomes a Death Knight and the hero is forced to battle him.

Xan
Xan is an insane pyromancer, born in Lymcrest. As a gifted magic user, he has great abilities to control fire. Even as a child, he used his powers to make the residents suffer and fear him. Because of this, the villagers of Lymcrest treated him as an outcast. This has caused him to hate the town and its people even more, believing that they didn't respect him enough. He later tudied magic at the Swordhaven Magic Academy, where Warlic was his rival for the affections of a girl named Jaania. In a duel between the two talented wizards, they lost control of their magic, trapping Jaania inside a crystal. Xan was also injured severely, with flames raging on his body. Warlic was unable to reverse either spell, but turned Xan's flames into a healing fire instead. Thus, he lives in constant suffering from the flames, but at the same time, they are the only thing that keeps him alive. He swore vengeance against Warlic and promised to release Jaania, who, he said, would love him because Warlic would be dead. After many defeated attempts to destroy Falconreach for Drakath and the Necromantress, he attacked Lymcrest, his old hometown. The player, with the help of Warlic, defeats Xan, who is trying to unlock the secrets of the Pyronomicon, a magical book that magnifies his abilities. He believes that the power of the book will allow him to free Jaania and kill Warlic, although Warlic believes that it is only Xan and Warlic's combined power that can rescue her. After falling into lava after his defeat by the player, Xan disappears, but is not actually dead. In the second Frostvale event, Xan attacked once again. Thanks to the Eggnogonomicon, he had both ice and fire powers. After his defeat, he fell into an icy abyss, but considering his resilience to death, it is doubtful that he is dead. He will probably return back during the 2008 year to cause more evil to the citizens of Falconreach. It is unknown what his future holds.

Zorbak
Zorbak is an ebil moglin with an evil brother named Kabroz. He is a necromancer, but was expelled from the Necropolis. Although he has never created havoc on a large scale, Zorbak plays smaller tricks on the players. Because of the Necropolis War, Zorbak is the only necromancer left, aside from Vayle, so he trains the necromancer class.

Others

 * Ballyhoo is one character that made only three appearances: One before the Pirate VS Ninjas war, another during Frostvale 2007, giving the player the DeathKnight test armor and the third during the Necropolis updates giving players money equal to twice their level plus five for each sponsor ad (May, 7 2008), and it's unknown when she will return once again. She is currently featured in other Artix Entertainment games, AdventureQuest and MechQuest. Ballyhoo is an elf who wanders the paths between worlds seeking rare items.  She offers these (or bonus gold) to players who are willing to view some magic moving pictures (aka advertisements).


 * Jaania was Warlic's and Xan's classmate in Swordhaven Magic Academy. Xan and Warlic both loved her. In the duel between Xan and Warlic, she was accidentally imprisoned in a crystal shard. Xan is obsessed with releasing Jaania (sadly, not as much as he is obsessed with getting revenge on Warlic). You never actually meet her in Dragonfable. !-- As stated on the talk page, please do not speculate on whether such and such a character is the same as in MQ. When this page is more cleaned up, we may be able to add a note at the top about the Reset. --


 * Serenity is the innkeeper of the Falconreach Inn (successor to Mary, who died and became Mary's Spirit). She was going to throw out the Doom Weapons before the Mysterious Stranger appeared in Falconreach.  She gives you a quest which allows you to battle the spirits haunting her inn.
