Character »
The inverse of an anti-hero. An anti-villain is a villain that portrays him/herself as someone who is just and altruistic while is secretly working towards an otherwise nefarious and villainous goal. Common archetypes of anti-villains are politicians and religious figures who craft a wholesome and good-natured image to hide their evil intentions; this may even sometimes include doing good deeds, but only as a temporary measure to potentially further their true ambitions.
Games which are based on or feature concepts inspired by the the legend of King Arthur of Camelot, the Knights of the Round table, and the Quest for the Holy Grail.
This concept involves a character of the hero archetype that at some point in the storyline, turns against the forces of good and becomes evil or is revealed to have done this in secret at some point in the past.
A heavily armored soldier in the service of a lord or cause. Typically a champion of good and a defender of the innocent.
The concept of affecting the universe through supernatural methods, breaking the fundamental laws of science.
A gathering of people who believe in the same higher power(s), and follow the rules laid out by the mortals chosen to be their prophets. Video games generally try to shy away from negatively portraying real religions to avoid controversy, however they make ample use of fictional in-game religions.
Any practitioner of magic (wizard, sorcerer, mage, necromancer, etc.) who casts spells. Even unlearned scholars can throw a mean magic missile every now and then.
Being learned scholars and masters of the arcane arts, wizards wield great power by manipulating magical energy for the forces of good and evil.
