DragonFable/Characters

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

Heroes

 * Artix von Krieger is the in-game alter ego of the game's creator, Adam Bohn. He can be found either inside or next to the entrance of the Amityvale Graveyard. The version of him which stands outside the graveyard offers several quests and can be invited to accompany player characters in battle. He is currently restricted to level 3 and has, as a consequence, only one attack ability. From August 3rd, 2007 until October 4th, he replaced Nythera in the town of Falconreach. He is the only NPC to appear twice in the non-quest world.


 * Ash DragonBlade is a young boy from the guardian-only RPG ArchKnight. His dream is to become a knight and protect the world. Unfortunately, Ash is not of noble blood so he would not even be considered, unless, he were to save a princess. Ash may be invited to accompany player character in battle; currently, he is a level one character who can only attack very clumsily. Recently, he has had a makeover and now offers a helpful FAQ for new players. An Archknight player with a character name of Ash Dragonblade gave the AE staff this NPC idea. Now the game of Archknight does not allow the players to name themselves, but automatically chooses the name Ash Dragonblade for the player.


 * Cysero is the game's creative director in real life. For a while, he stood in Falconreach in the place currently occupied by Thyton, before leaving temporarily to find new weapon materials. Before he left, Cysero gave players information about the current events, and some info on the weather. During the CES event Adam (Artix) left Cysero alone with the game, and he turned the guardian tower upside down, and into a giant fish. In one of the Dragon Egg Saga quests, it is revealed that Cysero lives with Warlic and is a very messy person who leaves his laundry around. The Ruins of Cordana quest reveals that Cysero used to be some sort of pilot (as Syz Zero in MechQuest) and had taken the abilities of a Mage and the job of LORE's foremost weapons smith after the reset. He currently runs Cysero's Superstore of Savings which has replaced his old store in Falconreach.  Players can purchase powerful weapons and other items in exchange for Dragon Coins at Cysero's store.


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


 * Lady Celestia is a mysterious priestess that once protected the Black Dragon Box. Currently, she is at her home, in Sunbreeze Grove. She plays a role in the training of DragonLords.


 * Reens is Falconreach's Alchemist. She is the Alchemy teacher, as Yulgar is the Blacksmith teacher in Yulgar's Forge. You can learn to make potions that heal 700 of your life by training in Alchemy!


 * Rhubarb is a First Mate pirate in Osprey Cove and a Pirate Captain in AdventureQuest. He gives the player an assortment of quests, all of which are related to assisting the Pirates in various ways (sometimes against the Ninja) and helping them obtain the Wind Orb, which they refer to as the Wind Pearl. He is the one to talk to about becoming a Pirate and joining the Pirate Class. If the player completes the Pirate quest chain and defeats Captain Blackberry, Rhubarb advances from First Mate to Captain.


 * Robina Hood, based off Robin Hood, leads a band of merry women. She steals from the rich and gives to the monsters. She recaptures the Black Dragon Box from a thieving sneevil. She can join the player's party at level 2. During the Willowshire event she wielded a staff but now wields her standard bow.


 * Rolith is the captain of Oaklore Keep's knights of the pentagonal table. A strong warrior, Captain Rolith is used to access beginner's quests.


 * Thyton is leader of the Ninja and the Ninja class trainer. Thyton can currently be found at Falconreach and in The Shadow of the Wind Ninja village. His picture can be found in the September 11, 2007 Design Notes here. He calls the Wind Orb the Jewel of the Four Winds and claims that it is an ancestral relic of his clan, capable of summoning its most powerful guardian. He offers the player a variety of quests related to assisting the Ninjas (sometimes against the Pirates) and helping them obtain the Wind Orb.


 * Valencia is a world famous rare item hunter who is running her family business while her father, Trey Surehunter is searching for The Ultimate Treasure. She shows the player's character where the Sneevil Dumpsite is as well as helping the character find the Dragon Egg, which was stolen by Ultra-Vultragon, a large bird who lives at the top of Mt. Moordoor. She can join the players party and is level 8 with one technique. There was once a glitch that let Valencia copy the player's weapon's attack power and element when she made an attack.


 * Warlic is a well known blue mage who helps the player sort out the 4 eggs (the player starts with six, but eats one and breaks another), in the Dragon Egg Saga. He is also important to much of the story. Currently, he is not able to be brought into the player's party except in one quest. He resides beyond the portal in Falconreach itself, right next to the Guardian Tower. This portal leads to an area near Lymcrest, in which Warlic has set up camp to combat the elementals unleashed by Xan. Xan, the evil pyromancer, has a deep hatred for Warlic that started because of an incident that took place back at the Swordhaven Magic Academy (it involved rivalry over a beautiful girl).  Warlic is also Cysero's roommate; the two share a magical tower.


 * Yulgar is Falconreach's resident blacksmith. He has recently opened up his forge in which players can forge their own weapons. Players can also level up their blacksmithing skills to unlock higher-leveled weapon 'recipes'.

Villains

 * 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 seas) 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 an adventurer (the player's character) to fight him (only by battling his greatest foe could a wielder get the orb to activate). 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 due to the fact that 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.)


 * 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 is the leader of the Darkwolf bandits. 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 adventurers beat him and took it back, causing him to retreat from the island. Recently, he went to the Sandsea and hired the desert thugs to claim the Orb of Light and kill the adventurer.


 * Dr. Voltabolt is Falconreach's Dentist and Technomancer; he believes magic is evil and science is better than magic. He plans to get rid of magic, and he believes people will thank him for opening their eyes to see the evil of magic, even if he has to take those thanks from them by force. Once again in the 2007 Thankstalking war, Voltabolt has tried his hand at beating magic with science; he has been using science to make pumpkin pies with his remote-controlled Pumpkin Pie Dispensing Dracobot, also known as the X-304, which looks like a mechanical dragon. When his new creation was defeated, he decided to just keep working on the designs. In MechQuest, in the holiday quest Blind Quest he appears in one of the scenes while the player character is having a talk with HAL. Because he believes that the hero has caused HAL to malfunction, he attempts to defeat him/her in a mecha battle.


 * 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 her into a tiny dracolich (undead dragon).  His dragon amulet gives him the power to transform Fluffy into a full-grown skeletal 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 is DragonFable's first dragon and its first boss. He is always seen destroying Willowshire. In Willowshire Burns! Gorgok reaches his final objective (destroy Willowshire) and is defeated by the Adventurer. He returned in Gorgok Returns!, but now searching for Vengeance. The Dragonlords confronted him with their Dragons and defeated him once again, forcing him into another healing sleep. Gorgok probably attacked Willowshire to obtain the Earth or Nature Orb, which once resided in the basement of the Guardian Tower there.


 * Lord Frydae XIII is a vampire and the great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great (13 great) 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).


 * 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. He is believed to be The Master of Sepulchure and his minions although this is unlikely.


 * The Necromantress is a mysterious NPC in DragonFable. It is unknown if she is a hero or a villain and even the evil ones do not trust her. So far she has only been seen in the Night of the Living Pumpkin war, in the quest in which the player battles Lord Frydae XIII, and the Artix vs. The Undead video. In the 3rd 'Friday the 13th Invasion' war she is seen in a cutscene conversing with Xan, and at the end sending the two bosses after the hero. Her name is unknown but she is believed to be Vayle. She had joined forces with Xan in an effort to destroy Falconreach once and for all. However, this failed and she had to return to Amityvale to plot anew.


 * Necrotic Blade of Doom is a Doom Weapon (a corrupted soul trapped in a weapon). It is possessing Sepulchure for its 'Masters' plan (which is unknown for now).


 * Noxus is called the head Necromancer by Artix when he is asked about Necromancers. In the Design Notes, Artix says that the next main boss will be Noxus, suggesting an upcoming war or quest saga.


 * 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 due to the fact that 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.)


 * 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 (counterpart of the player's Black Dragon Box). Sepulchure was unsatisfied with his cute dragon until he transformed it into a dracolich, which he then named Fluffy.  Upgraded player characters who have completed the Ninja or Pirate quests chains may battle Sepulchure and Fluffy in titan form (the battle is unwinnable).  In the design notes, it was said Sepulchure was once a Pactoganal Knight. In keeping with the punnish names that are standard for these knights, his orginal name may have been Sir Pulchure/Pulcher.


 * 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 crueler and eviler than any before him. He hired Zhoom and paid him well for hunting down the members of the resistance forces. He will invite the player to his palace if he does him a favor. He is believed to be Drakath's relative.


 * 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.  After the battle, Sir Malifact vanishes. . .who knows where he might have reformed?


 * Xan: Xan is an insane pyromancer, who unleashed the elementals on Lore. He was born in Lymcrest and was a gifted magic user. 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, believing that they didn't respect him enough. He studied magic at the Swordhaven Magic Academy, where Warlic was his rival for the affections of a girl named Jaania. Xan's current appearance is due to an accident during a duel between him and Warlic. He lives in constant suffering due to the flames which cover his body, but at the same time, they are the only thing that keeps him alive. He owns an artifact called the Pyronomicon, a magical book that magnifies his abilities. In one of his earliest appearances, he attempted to destroy Falconreach at Drakath's behest. He failed however, but challenged (and defeated) the player at the end of the war. He then used the Pyronomicon to change his Fire monsters into Light monsters and attacked Falconreach Beach, causing the Beach Vacation Invasion. This was part of a joint effort to destroy Falconreach which he made with the Necromantress; as a result, it was merged into the Friday The 13th Invasion Part III. After this defeat, he changed the town of Lymcrest's river to lava, making the residents and miners suffer greatly. As the player, you can undertake a quest chain to transmute the river back into water. The last quest in the chain sends the player in Xan's fortress to take the Pyronomicon and defeat the weakened Xan.  After completing this quest, upgraded characters may battle Xan in Lava Titan form.  The second Frostvale event, which occurred after this quest chain was released, included Xan as the main villain.  Thanks to the Eggnogonomicon, he has both ice and fire powers in this battle.  After his defeat in Frostvale, he falls into an icy abyss, but considering his resilience to date it is doubtful that he is dead.


 * Zorbak is an evil moglin who has a brother named Kabroz, which is Zorbak spelled backwards. He is a Necromancer. You can find him in Surewould Forest and Amityvale. As new characters are attempting to make their way from Oaklore to Falconreach, he will sic a bear on them. In Mogloween (Holiday Event 2007), he added more of the Mognip to the candy, making it transform Moglins into Moglinsters. At the end of Mogloween, he ate the candy and transformed into a Moglinster. After being defeated by a hero, he ate the rest of the candy and became a Titan Moglinster. After being defeated by the Dragonlords, Zorbak was forced to pay off all the damage. He is more of a troublemaker than a villain, but aims to take over the world with his undead army.  His trademark quality is being ebil.  He claims this word refers to being better than evil, but in practice it describes his mischievious nature.  It is as if he attempts to be truly evil but fails.

Others

 * Ballyhoo is one character that made only two appearances: One before the Pirate VS Ninjas war and another during Frostvale 2007, giving the player the DeathKnight test armor. Ballyhoo left the game on January 8, 2008, and it's unknown when she will return. She is currently featured in another Artix game, AdventureQuest. 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 loved her. In Xan's Fortress quest, when the player speaks Jaania's name, Xan shouts out DON'T SPEAK HER NAME!, because Jaania was accidentally imprisoned in a crystal shard by Xan and Warlic. Xan is obsessed with attempting to release Jaania (sadly, not as much as he is obsessed with getting revenge on Warlic). Jaania also makes an appearance in one MechQuest's houses, even though the two stories are in time periods 5,000 years apart. However, you never actually meet her in Dragonfable; she is only talked about.


 * Kasuf is one rebel of the resistance, an enemie to Zhoom. During The Hard Way quest, Zhoom ordenates you to discover where Kasuf hides, and Kasuf says that Zhoom is running behind you! You must get out alive! He is the father of Sha'Rah.


 * Konnan is somehow a mysterious figure. This is because some people on the forums think he will become Drakonnan, a character from AdventureQuest. He is Yulgar's apprentice and can be found in Yulgar's Store. Some of the things he has said lead some to suspect he may be a friend of Xan's (namely, his comment about being taught to enchant weapons with fire, and his desire to defend Xan after Xan attempted to destroy Falconreach).


 * Mumragon is a giant mummified dragon, awakened by Sha'Rae, during a trip to the Dynasty Tomb of Sek-Duat. Players may fight him in the Dynasty Tomb quest. Upgraded characters may invite two other player characters (using their ID's) to join this battle.  The Mumragon is the only monster currently in-game who will attack a player character's friends.


 * Serenity is the Falconreach Inn keeper, successor to Mary(she died and become Mary's Spirit), who 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.


 * Sha'Rah is Kasuf's daughter, another rebel member of the resistance. Players meet her in The Oasis Inn quest, and receive instructions regarding how to get Sek-Duat's attention.

!--
 * Zhoom is the newest NPC in Dragon Fable. He uses Zhoom's Curved Blade, which Valencia and Yulgar own (it is buyable from either of them for 1200 gold). He is a Ranger who captures members of the resistance for the corrupt dynasty ruling The Sandsea. He is deadly and works for money. His mother was a sand elf.  He had a difficult childhood, since one of the previous members of the Sek-Duat dynasty hunted the sand elves into extinction.
