Faction: House Baratheon

Overall Rating: 5.9

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Arena Status: Active (S2)

Robert Baratheon, crowned King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, is introduced in A Game of Thrones as a towering figure, both literally and figuratively. Known for his past as a fierce warrior and his ultimate rebellion against the Targaryen dynasty, Robert’s rule brings forth both the triumph and the consequences of the Iron Throne’s burdens. Described as a man whose past glory casts a shadow over his present, Robert’s character represents both the ideal and the downfall of a king who preferred the simplicity of battle to the complexity of rulership.

Overall Rating: 8.0

Alignment: Chaotic Evil

Mephala is a Daedric Prince in the Elder Scrolls universe whose sphere encompasses lies, sex, murder, and secrets—although some believe her true purpose remains an enigma to mortal minds. Revered and feared alike, Mephala is worshiped by the Dunmer as one of the "Three Good Daedra" and serves as the patron deity of the Morag Tong, an ancient guild of assassins. She is a being of contradictions, embodying both subtle manipulation and brutal murder, and her influence runs deep within Tamriel's shadowy corners.

Malazan Character Analysis: Hunn Raal

Race: Tiste Andii / Tiste Liosan

Sex: Male

Faction: High House Light

Overall Rating: 6.7

Alignment: Neutral Evil

Arena Status: Active (S2)

Hunn Raal stands as one of the most controversial figures in The Malazan Book of the Fallen, originating as a captain in Urusander's Legion and ascending to a role that defied both mortal and divine authority. His impact on the Tiste society’s structure and his manipulative tactics in pursuit of power demonstrate a complex character driven by resentment, ambition, and perhaps, an unfulfilled desire for justice.
