Rathma: Diablo Character Analysis

Race: Nephalem / Firstborn

Sex: Male

Faction: Priests of Rathma

Rating: 8.6

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Arena Status: Active (S3)

Rathma is remembered as the Firstborn nephalem of Sanctuary and the figure most closely associated with the necromantic tradition later formalized as the Priests of Rathma. In the modern era of Sanctuary’s history, his name functions less like a mere historical footnote and more like a doctrinal cornerstone, invoked as protection, warning, and proof that the Cycle can be studied without being broken. The faith-language around him is deliberate, almost liturgical in tone, as in the oft-cited line: “Let the wisdom of Rathma protect us from those that would do us harm.”

Philippa Eilhart: The Witcher Character Analysis

Race: Human

Transcendent: Sorceress

Sex: Female

Faction: Brotherhood of Sorcerers / Lodge of Sorceresses / Redania

Rating: 8.3

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Arena Status: Active (S3)

Philippa Eilhart occupies a rare narrative space in The Witcher: she is neither wandering hero nor tragic victim, neither courtly ornament nor mere antagonist. She is power that understands itself as power. Where many mages posture as advisors, scholars, or reluctant servants of kings, Philippa speaks the truth others conceal. “We wish to rule, yes. Where is the fault in that?” she declares in The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. It is not bluster. It is doctrine.

Cregan Stark: A Song of Ice and Fire Character Analysis

Race: Northmen

Sex: Male

Faction: House Stark

Rating: 6.4

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Arena Status: Active (S3)

Cregan Stark stands apart in the history of the Seven Kingdoms as a figure whose power was never rooted in dragons, prophecy, or sorcery, but in will, reputation, and an uncompromising conception of justice. Known in his youth as the Wolf of the North and later remembered as the Old Man of the North, Cregan Stark ruled Winterfell for decades during one of the most turbulent eras in Targaryen history. His brief but decisive intervention at the end of the Dance of the Dragons, remembered as the Hour of the Wolf, left an imprint on Westerosi memory far out of proportion to the short span of days in which it unfolded.

Whisper: Black Company Character Analysis

Race: Human (Rust)

Transcendent: Taken

Sex: Female

Faction: Circle of Eighteen / Rebels / The Empire

Rating: 7.3

Alignment: Lawful Evil

Arena Status: Active (S3)

Whisper occupies a singular and unsettling place in the history of the northern wars, standing at the crossroads between rebellion and empire, autonomy and enslavement, brilliance and ruin. To Croaker, who knew her first as an enemy and later as something far worse, she was unforgettable in contradiction. “Whisper replied in a melodious voice that did not at all fit the wide, hard, homely woman,” he writes. “She sounded seventeen and gorgeous, looked forty-five and like she had been around the world three times.” That dissonance, between appearance and effect, between seeming and reality, defines Whisper’s entire arc. She was never merely a sorceress, nor only a general. She was a strategist of rare talent, a political operator of dangerous subtlety, and ultimately the most prominent example of what it meant to be Taken against one’s will.

Tathamet: Diablo Character Analysis

Race: Cosmic Entity

Sex: None

Faction: Burning Hells

Rating: 8.7

Alignment: Chaotic Evil

Arena Status: Active (S3)

Tathamet stands as one of the most mythic, elusive, and primordial figures in the entire Diablo cosmology, a creature so ancient that its existence predates the universe itself. References to the seven-headed dragon appear only in the deepest tomes, whispered by angels, demons, and scholars who sift through fragmented records of Creation’s first war. Though Tathamet never physically appears in any Diablo game, the dragon’s influence permeates every corner of the franchise. From the rotting depths of the Burning Hells to the shadowed pages of the Book of Cain, the narrative arcs of the Prime and Lesser Evils all trace their lineage back to this one definitive being: the original Prime Evil, the Beast, the Dragon that fought Anu in the first age before time.
