Максариус: первый верховный тамплиер. По легенде, бог Инносенс подарил ему Знак Чистоты, с помощью которого он "поразил пламенем армию неверных одним лучом своего святящегося света". Согласно Ликии, это ложь, и Максариус на самом деле был самим Инносенсом. По ее словам, он стремился к власти и богатству божества, воспользовавшись группой новичков (которые, вероятно, столкнулись с Очищающим огнем или его камипионами) и их страхом перед огнем, а также очернив своего брата, и в итоге собрал достаточно последователей, чтобы вознестись к божеству.

Ликия: тамплиер, которая обнаружила, что тамплиеры лгут о том, что святят и сохраняют записи о мертвых, и что мертвых отбрасывают и забывают. Желая, чтобы ее помнили и не забывали, она изучала некромантию и демонов. В конце концов она заключила договор с Бейдатом, одним из повелителей демонов Бича, в обмен на вечную жизнь. С тех пор она поселилась в Санктуме, заброшенном анклаве тамплиеров под руинами Феллшрина, который она населила существами, созданными с помощью литомантии, и нежитью. Там она заманивает искателей приключений, обещая им сокровища и славу.

Voll: (see Eternals.)

Daresso: a man who came from nothing and rose to become the King of Swords in the Grand Arena of Theopolis. He was trained as a fighter from a young age, eventually beginning to fight in the Grand Arena. There he met and fell in love with Lady Merveil. Inspired by her, he defeated the previous King of Swords and then asked her to marry him. He presented her with the Star of Wraeclast, a necklace set with a Virtue Gem that had previously been implanted in Kalisa Maas' throat. Merveil was twisted by the gem into a monster, causing Daresso to travel to Sarn in search of a way to reverse the transformation. He brought documents on the subject of thaumaturgy back to Oriath. After traveling to Wraeclast a final time he never returned, but instead somehow became trapped in his own dream inside the Highgate Mines.

Barkhul: a man whom Daresso challenged and defeated in the fighting pits in Theopolis, possibly his first kill.

Merveil: a lady who attended fights at the Grand Arena of Theopolis. There she was seen by Daresso, who fell in love with her and was inspired to win the Crown of Swords. He asked her to marry him and presented her with the Star of Wraeclast, a necklace set with a Virtue Gem that had previously been implanted in Kalisa Maas' throat. The gem gave her a beautiful voice, enabling her to sing opera in the largest concert halls of Oriath. However, the gem also began to twist her into a monster. Daresso left and promised to travel to Sarn in search of a cure. However, he never succeeded. She fled from Oriath and took up residence on the southern coast of Wraeclast. There, she lured sailors to their deaths to feed her children.

Sigmund Fairgraves: a sailor, pirate, whaler and explorer who opened the door to new lands (often at the expense of the natives). Fairgraves funded a number of expeditions using Karui slaves. He recovered documents about thaumaturgy from Wraeclast and brought them back to Oriath for Dominus. After setting sail on another mission to Wraeclast, he disappeared for over thirty years. It was later found that based on a myth, he had searched the inner empire and discovered the Allflame, which bestowed him with a 'unique gift and also provided the wind for his ship's sails. After rescuing a slave girl from the flesh pits of Trarthus, she turned his first mate against him and stole the Allflame, leaving him marooned in Merveil's ship graveyard.

Venarius: a High Templar of Oriath. As a child he witnessed the brutal oppression of the Templars and grew to secretly despise them while rising through their ranks. He was determined to become powerful, and to this end sent smugglers to Wraeclast in search of powerful artefacts such as Malachai's map device, which he had Valdo Caeserius repair and attempt to weaponize. The device allowed him entry to the dreamlands (maps) created by the Elder. Venarius met with the Elder and restored its shade to its body, after which it fed on him and his memories.

Dominus: the High Templar of Oriath who succeeded Venarius. He had a last supper with a condemned criminal named Vinia and heard her confession. She told him of things that were possible through the use of thaumaturgy, and he decided to spare her. He created a laboratory for himself within Chitus Cathedral to study thaumaturgy. After renaming Vinia to Piety, he gave her charge of an expedition to Wraeclast to uncover its secrets. He began sentencing criminals to be banished to Wraeclast instead of put to death (likely to serve as test subjects for Piety's experiments). Through the use of thaumaturgy he became powerful and took up residence atop the Sceptre of God in Sarn.

Cassia: a Templar skilled in the mechanical arts. She was tasked by High Templar Dominus with building devices to tap into the power of Virtue Gems. She felt this was not in line with God's plan, so only built him mechanisms that were useless for this purpose. In response, Dominus exiled her to Wraeclast and replaced her with Piety. Once in Wraeclast she discovered fungal growths beginning to appear, and built devices to extract their toxic fluid and kill them. She enjoys singing Templar hymns.

Piety (Vinia): a poor Oriathan witch who took to prostitution and selling her skills as a thaumaturgist to survive. She was arrested and condemned to death for 'consorting with the unholy.' Before her execution she had a last supper with High Templar Dominus, who heard her confession. She told him of things that were possible through the use of thaumaturgy, and he spared her. Renamed Piety, she was given charge of an expedition to Wraeclast to uncover its secrets. There she studied the works of the Godless Three and finally of Malachai himself. She experimented on numerous people, including those exiled from Oriath by Dominus, becoming quite proficient as a thaumaturgist. After being killed by an exile, she was revived by Malachai in the Belly of the Beast to be his servant.

Vilenta: a woman versed in medicine who devoted her life to Piety's work, experimenting on Karui slaves provided by Justicar Casticus. She created a device known as the miasmeter to sense and amplify the corruption in Wraeclast. When Piety began her expedition to Wraeclast Vilenta was left behind in Theopolis, leaving the latter furious. After the death of the Beast and the return of the gods, Vilenta got caught up in the Karui slave rebellion, but was spared by the rebels in return for saving Lani's life.

Davaro: a Templar who studied Vaal relics brought back to Theopolis from Wraeclast by High Templar Dominus. He discovered signs that the Vaal had dwelt on the island of Oriath. He became corrupted by the relics and began performing human sacrifice at one of their ancient sites. After doing so he began having visions of Queen Atziri. Falling in love with her, he kidnapped and sacrificed two children before killing himself, believing that in doing so they would join Atziri and become a family.

Casticus: a Templar justicar who supplied Karui slaves to Vilenta to experiment on for her research. When the slaves revolted, he was involved in attempting to quell the uprising.

Avarius: the man who succeeded Dominus as High Templar. With Dominus away in Wraeclast, Avarius led some of the largest and most crippling raids against the Karui, bringing them back to Theopolis as slaves. He spent five thousand Karui lives building the Templar Courts and Chamber of Innocence. After the death of the Beast and return of the gods, Innocence took up residence inside him.

Marcovius: a general and commander of the Templar Fleet under High Templar Avarius. As part of Operation Ocean Blades he was sent to Pondium Strait to massacre the Brinerot warband, but on the voyage there his fleet was attacked and mostly destroyed by the Brine King. He turned the survivors around and headed back for Oriath.

Caruso: captain of the ship Lady in Waiting. After the death of the Beast, he began to hear voices speaking of the Brine King's return. He tried to warn his crew, and sacrificed mutineers in the Brine King's name in the hope of appeasing him. However, his own men threw him overboard. The next morning the Brine King destroyed his ship. Caruso was stranded on a plank in the sea without food or water, and hunted by the Brine King's crabs.

Victario 'Vic' Vox: a member of the Vox family, who have been Oriathan nobles for several generations and are possibly related to Cardinal Sanctus Vox (the timeframes are inexact, but there are at least a few generations separating them; ref). Recently, he and his twin brother have resorted to consorting with the criminal underworld and using coercion, blackmail, and violence to ensure their family retains its status. The Vox crime family are often in competition with the Ring for the same jobs. Vic's parents liked Victario Nevalius' work so much they named him after the poet.

Vincent 'Vinny' Vox: a member of the Vox family, who have been Oriathan nobles for several generations and are possibly related to Cardinal Sanctus Vox (the timeframes are inexact, but there are at least a few generations separating them; ref).

Lucan Octavius: a wealthy Oriathan alchemist of high status. Tane described him as fatherly and genial in public, but violent and lustful at home. He kept a safe distance from many of his experiments while having Tane handle the dangerous materials. Lucan created a concoction he called Sinner's Water, which he believed would draw out a person's or creature's Intrinsic Darkness, or base and violent instincts. He experimented with it by testing it on his own children and taking notes of their violent reactions. Due to Lucan's dark proclivities, Tane killed him in a fit of violence. The rest of Lucan's family were killed following Kitava's rise in Oriath.

Танэ Октавиус: вольноотпущенник Ориата. Ранее он был рабом Каруи и мнил себя учеником Лукана Октавиуса, который также дал ему свое имя. Он помогал Лукану в его алхимических экспериментах, работая с более опасными материалами, в то время как его хозяин наблюдал за происходящим с безопасного расстояния. Танэ иногда избивали дети Лукана, после того, как им давали стряпню, чтобы они пробудили свои базовые инстинкты в рамках серии экспериментов. Танэ считал, что его хозяин - больной человек с темными наклонностями, и что Лукан передал ему болезнь. В нехарактерном приступе насилия Танэ убил своего хозяина. С тех пор он продолжил поиски того, что Танэ называет Внутренней тьмой, основой человека и инстинктами насилия. Его конечная цель - изолировать Внутреннюю Тьму от человека и уничтожить её, тем самым очистив его от жестоких импульсов. Зана называет его другом.

The Shaper & the Guardians of the Void

The Shaper: a man named Valdo Caeserius who was the chief Arkhon of the Oriath academy in Theopolis. High Templar Venarius brought him a device recovered from Wraeclast and ordered him to repair and attempt to weaponize it. Valdo discovered that it opened the way to the dreamlands (maps) wherein dwelt the Elder, who taught him the ability of shaping things out of thin air. He attempted to hide this from Venaius, but the High Templar eventually learned the truth and forced Valdo to lead him to the Elder. Venarius restored the Elder to its physical body before being fed on by it. Valdo damaged the map device to close the portal between Theopolis and the dreamlands, and exiled himself there with the intention of stopping the Elder and protecting his daughter Zana and the rest of Oriath.
