Redguard:NPCs

Many Non-Player Characters, or NPCs, may be found in Redguard. Similar to Battlespire, all of them have voiced dialogue. Most are unique, but there are a few classes of generic NPCs, such as guards and island thugs. It's not possible to attack unarmed people; Cyrus will simply comment, "No, s/he's unarmed."

Conversing with the inhabitants of Stros M'Kai is central to advancing the storyline. Talking to one person may open up new dialogue options with others. Each NPC's article includes their complete dialogue and how to unlock the various topics of discussion. Several factions exist within the game setting, although these are only known through dialogue and have no in-game effect.

For information about creatures in the game, see this page.

Player Character

Although playable, Cyrus has some traits of a non-playable character due to having a developed backstory, his own dialogue, and appearances in cutscenes that are not under your control. He also has a gremlin form, although this could be considered a creature. For the purposes of the wiki, he has an NPC page.

Generic NPCs

Five classes of generic NPCs exist in the game. The pirates walking around town are always friendly, and the thugs found on remote parts of the island are always hostile. Three Forebear bullies frequent the Draggin Tale and can start a brawl with Cyrus. A group of League pirates attack you at the beginning of the game, but the ones at the League hideout are friendly unless provoked.

Guards near civilization will only attack you if your weapon is drawn, you have attacked them, or after the quest Escape the Catacombs. Other guards attack regardless of your actions, such as the ones protecting the Dwarven Ruins.

• Forebear Bullies x3 — One is named Dagoo
• Guards
• Island Thugs x6 — Two are named Lacy and Ned
• League Pirates x6
• Sailors x4

Creature Characters

Redguard's cast of characters is on a spectrum, with the likes of Clavicus Vile and Nafaalilargus blurring the boundary between NPC and creature. Although considered beasts by the usual definition, Cyrus talks to the characters listed below almost as if they are human. All of them have story-relevant dialogue.

Realm of Clavicus Vile Guardian x2

Treasure Vaults Nafaalilargus
