*'''[[The Advisor]]'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
A mysterious old man with a white raven "pet". Was first believed to be the Imperial Light Wizard in the announcement trailer who got corrupted by Chaos after reading a tome of Tzeentch and summoned a Lord of Change with a smash of his staff, although this was later debunked (and was then later undebunked). He is, for whatever reason, always the Advisor to the player's chosen faction during the Grand Campaign, advising them on how to manage their empire and what to do next, and also narrates their introductory cutscenes; he can be annoying but is nowhere near as bad as the advisors in previous Total War games. In game 3 he actually plays a role in the narrative, were he's working to free/kill Ursun in exchange for a drop of his blood to free him from being enslaved to a magic book. Hilariously, he is accepted by every single faction with not a single fuck apparently given, whether they are either the mighty Mazdamundi, the mightiest Slann that could read minds like books and smell Chaos coruption, or Malekith, the cruel king of Naggaroth that cannot be ordered around by anyone from a mere inferior race. At least in game 3 the story goes out of it's way to explain why all the factions are listening to him. Even the famously misanthropic Beastmen, although this is at least addressed at the start of Khazrak's campaign where it is clarified that he does want to kill the old codger, but he tolerates him as a middleman between him and...

*'''Sarthorael the Everwatcher'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
A Lord of Change and the Advisor's real master in the Chaos-themed campaigns. He was responsible for the conflicts the player ends up fighting out, having basically manipulated sundry factions into conflict either [[Troll|for his own amusement]], [[Just as planned|to further his own plans]], or possibly both; knowing his boss any of those explanations is possible. In the 100+ turn of the Warriors of Chaos campaign, he reveals himself and kills off the Advisor, chuckling that all are pawns to [[Tzeentch|the Great Deceiver]]. A really hard bastard to kill as well as a Lore of Metal caster, although his lore will probably be changed to the Lore of Tzeentch in the future. He accompanies Archaon for his End Times invasion if you play as any other faction, but decides to challenge Archaon's position as the Everchosen in the Warriors of Chaos campaign. He was featured in the epilogue cinematic as the same white raven he disguised as from game 1, who came to witness The Advisor's "ascension". In the epilogue's flavor texts however, he was said to have sent by his [[Tzeentch|master]] to "guide" The Advisor (now got his eyesight taken by the Tome of Fate) to their next goal, going full circle back to game 1. Beating said campaign unlocks him in normal battles. He also got a Tzeentch faction named after him in game 3, which sadly <s>[[FAIL|he does not actually lead]]</s>. He does lead it now in Immortal Empires, and recieved an upgrade to an Exalted Lord of Change. However, he starts off as Teclis's starting enemy and is lucky if he makes it pass turn 5.

Apparently still around in [[Age of Sigmar]], being mentioned a [[Kharadron Overlords]] legal case over "soul-like substances" of all things (M. Thyrx v. Sarthorael).

*'''Gnashra Shroomchewa'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
A Goblin Great Shaman stars in the first total war react video.
</div>
</div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">
*'''Sneek Scratchett, The Scribe'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
The adorable, trendy dressing, glasses wearing underling of a Skaven clan in the eye of vortex campaign. He works for Grey Seer Vulscreek in order to serve his clan and revive the great horned rat. He stars in a hilarious react trailer where he makes fun of Malekith's mother issues and Teclis' appearance, among other things. Later returned in Laboratory mode where he overreacted about the [[DISTRACTION CARNIFEX|oversize hell pit abomination]], [[DOOMWHEELS|a shit tons of DOOMWHEELS]], floating elves (done by setting their gravity 10%) and [[The End Times: Vermintide|a massive fuck load of Skaven in a unit increased by the unit size modifier]].

</div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">
*'''Vulscreek'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
The Grey Seer that ordered the scribe around. He and the council are the mastermind to the vortex race, as a way to fool every faction into drawing the magic into the vortex and have its magic absorb into some kind of bell device, then summon their god, the great horned rat into the material realm after the bell was tolled 13 times. However, it requires the sacrifice of an entire Skaven clan where one of its members must spill their blood on the bell clapper. The Grey Seer told the scribe Sneek Scratchett to tell his lord that the lord should spill his blood on the bell clapper, and told that in doing so, the scribe would be dooming his clan to be sacrificed to the horned rat. This is supremely idiotic, as obviously the scribe as a member of that clan would be one of the rats getting sacrificed. As you might expect, [[Rip and tear|Sneek Scratchett took exception to that.]]

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">
*'''Yukcannadoozat'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
A skink priest working for the lizardmen player faction in the eye of vortex campaign. After he saw the twin tail comet in the sky with a telescope and decided to follow Mazdamundi's plan since his actual slann master is still sleeping. Alongside his Kroxigor companion Tar-Grax, he hopes to help restore the great warding by activating the geometric web using the five lost keys mentioned by Lord Kroak. In the epilogue, he returns to inform his slann master of what has transpired, only to be foretold that [[N'kari]] is coming for their buttholes in the future, which is also foreshadowed in Arkhan's epilogue in the black pyramid campaign. In true Lizardmen fashion his name is a play on the phrase "You cannot do that".
</div>
</div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">
*'''Tar-Grax'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
A handsome specimen of a Kroxigor, serving as Yuk's companion/assistant/bodyguard. Sadly there is little else to write about this handsome fellow as he shows little character through the story, mainly just mimicking Yuk's reaction to the various rituals (though that's fitting of a Kroxigor).
</div>
</div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">
*'''Felicion Heartkeeper'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
A Dark Elf sorceress and seer currently "employed" by Malekith to aid in his quest to control the vortex. Like all Dark Elves sorceress, she dresses in nothing but a skimpy bikini and loin clothing, despite living in the cold of Naggaroth. Amusingly she acts like a complete sycophant towards Malekith, but is extremely catty to Morathi. Accompanied at all times by a mysterious assassin, who is surely nothing more than a nameless killer with no backstory or further significance at all... Has the [[Board-tans/u|pleasure]] of being the first fully canon gay character in the setting. The plotline around her is really awesome: the story and the characters bring up again and again how she's a betrayer, tease how she's going to backstab the Witch King sooner or later, show her selling out even those closest to her, then the end of the campaign comes and... {{Spoiler|Malekith is the one that betrays and kills her before she can do the same! Goes to show cunning and genre-savvy he really is. Bet you weren't expecting that, bitch!}}
</div>
</div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">
*'''The Nameless Khainite Assassin (Shadowblade)'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
Accompanies Felicion after the first ritual. Was actually her brother. Shows no emotion even when he is doing his job: murder. Responsible for dispatching the targets whose blood is needed to create Malekith's elixir for the vortex: a medusa, a high elf prince (who was lusting after Felicion's body and was killed while Felicion gets turned on by his death scream), Felicion's old tutor (who was badly scarred by magic that part of his body shifting back and forth), a female Dreadlord who had taken to leading a band of Norscans in the chaos wastes ([[Board-tans/u|and Felicion's lover]]), then finally SPOILER: Felicion herself (because CA loves to kill off pretty girls, see Galifreius down below). Despite his cold-blooded nature it is implied Shadowblade does mourn for his sister's death, and even asks Malekith to give him her soul cage in the epilogue; in the hopes of perhaps restoring her to life. Malekith, in one of his less dickish moments (or because he is in a good mood since he now controls the vortex), actually grants this request, even noting that Felicion had served him well. Notably he isn't technically a game only character as he exists in the main canon as well (and we are not even sure if they are the same persons).

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">
*'''Loremaster Talarian'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
A High Elven loremaster who advises Tyrion and Teclis in their efforts to stabilize the great vortex. He sports white hair and was accompanied by a female squire of Tyrion known as Galifreius (see below) in search for the five shards of star crown (shattered by Malekith long ago. Thank you Druchii) so he could give it to Caledor inside the vortex. Other than the first shard gifted by Isha from the first ritual, the rest of the four shards were found in many inconvenient places like under the sea (found with the help of Finubar's moses ability), in a cavern guarded by a wyrm (found from Bel-Korhadris scroll), inside Bel Shanaar's lost vessel and finally, on the hilt of the widowmaker (god knows what the shard is doing at that place even though the sword hasn't been touched or eons since Aenarion's absence). After winning the vortex war, Talarian has the honor to wear the frigging crown (every high elves loremaster's wet dream) and become one with the vortex (translation: Talarian went inside the vortex with the crown's power and became the newest member of Caledor's vortex maintenance squad). Oh and he seems to love Galifreius as he was shown mourning for her death by the hands of the horned rat.
</div>
</div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">
*'''Galifreius'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
The QT elf waifu material and the high elf counterpart to Felicion. A squire of Tyrion, she is tasked to guard Talarian on his quest to recover the crystal crown. SPOILER: she died in the fifth ritual. [[troll|The Horned Rat sent a swarm of rats to bite her to pieces for the lulz]], but despite this seemed remarkably intact at the time of her death. But THEN, in the epilogue, it is revealed that she was actually a dark elf serving Morathi, who murdered the real Galifreius in route to meeting Talarian and took her place. As you might expect, Tyrion was somewhat displeased by this. She also seems extremely similar to the canon character Eldyra of Tiranoc.
</div>
</div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">
*'''Priest Nerutep'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
A Liche Priest with only one glowing eye in his skull, who was tasked by Settra himself to find five of the Books of Nagash. In Settra's epilogue, it's revealed that he was none other than King Thutep, Nagash's brother whom he 'killed' and succeeded as the new king. Now Thutep is in control of the Black Pyramid and flipped his brother a [[Troll|boney middle finger]], in spirit at least (then again, considering Nagash's state that is probably literal in a way as well). Whether he managed to dig himself out or was rescued out of the pyramid he was buried in is unclear ( The Time of Legend series mentioned Ushoran hired a thief to dug out Thutep's remain and only the skull was bought back), nonetheless the fact that CA did this is [[Awesome|awesomely loreful.]] However, a few plot holes need to be addressed, such as Thutep being a magic caster since he was a king and was killed by Nagash through burial in his father's pyramid before he had a chance to learn magic. Another thing to be considered is in Arkhan's epilogue, where the lich king tried to invoke his master's spirit, but invoke N'kari, a greater daemon of Slaanesh's voice instead. Meaning Thutep's magic ability and his reawakening might be some kind of chaos trickery, further aided by the like of a greater demon N'kari. However, any further analysis or answer will have to wait for future expansion. Or it could just be the case of an alternate universe since we all knew how [[The End Times|this shit was supposed to end.]]

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">
*'''Cylostra Direfin'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
An original Legendary Lord created by CA for the Vampire Coast DLC. She was once an opera singer from Bretonnia (and they said Bretonnia is all about peasants and knights, ha!). She went on a voyage to sing for the Phoenix King (not sure if she was invited or doing so on her own will since Elves are smug bastards - it's in the name, High Elves). When halfway through the voyage a storm caught the ship. The captain said to wait it out, Cylostra literally grabbed him by the throat, threw him overboard and took control of the vessel for she wouldn't be denied the chance to sing for the Phoenix King. Surprise, surprise, the ship sank and she came back as a ghost/sea-witch/necromancer/Ursula that now blames Ulthuan for her death (so much she wants to sink it and then sing for the Phoenix King). How? Simple: By being a pirate. 
*As it turns out, her comeback is probably the result of a deal with the aquatic god of storms Stormfels. [https://www.totalwar.com/blog/the-siren-of-the-storm-by-andy-hall| This was shown in a short story revolving around her].
</div>
</div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">
*'''Cymbals'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
A talking monkey who advises the Legendary Lords of the Vampire Coast. Trust me, I wish I came up with this. Whether or not he's a literal talking monkey or a figment of their imagination (Luthor's insanity would explain it, but the other three are pretty sane so.....) Has yet to be seen, but either way this is hilarious. We don't know much about him, he could be a Bloodthirster in disguise for all we know, but more about him might be revealed later.
</div>
</div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">
*'''Captain Jacob Wulfhart'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
Another original character that, like Felicion, is linked to one in the tabletop's canon. Brother of Marcus Wulfhart (yes, the friggin Huntsmarshal of The Empire) who created an awesome magical map the player uses when playing as The Vampire Coast, and who was the captain of the ship The Vengeance. At first glance it looks like a normal map, but after saying the magical words, it quickly reveals much more details and notes from eye witnesses, rumors and other clues to Amanar. The captain looked for the Merwyrm to slay it, yet perished in the attempt - only one of his crew survived the experience along with the map. It is also from his ship that you salvage the Star Metal Harpoon you need to re-imbue with the verses of the magical shanty with which to slay Amanar.
</div>
</div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">
*'''Alastar, The White Lion Prince'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
Not to be confused with Korhil, a canonical white lion honor guard. A unique High Elves lord that seems to pop out of nowhere. Alastar is the only White Lion Prince in the game with his own model and a unique item even. As it turns out, he was added as a part of the Make-A-Wish Foundation involving a Warhammer fan, named Alastair. As expected from a White Lion, he does armor-piercing damage and can only take the Chrace skill in the special High Elves skill tree and can unlock skills such as the Killing Blow ability (not to mention having boons and price cuts to White Lions, allowing the player to have him lead early in the game a whole army of them dirt cheap). As for the real Alastair, real life was less grimdark and he made it.

*'''The Skaven IN SPESSSSS'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
[[File:Tww2 skaven in space.PNG|800px|thumb|center|Last moment of the space rat before he is about to face his imminent doom. Horned one bless you!]]
The brave little rat shit that piloted the fake twin tail comet, weakened the vortex and stirred every faction into action. Has been screaming ever since the rocket launched and never stopped. He died doing what he loved when the spaceship crash-landed after it ran out of fuel. Might probably have survived if the place he landed in wasn't such a freezing mountain side. Truly he was a rocket rat on a suicide mission for himself and his regime. The true winner of the vortex race just because he is the first (non-canon) creature in space [[The End Times|before the Lizardmen did it out of desperation]].
</div>
</div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">
*'''Berry Drury'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
A Halfling who serves as Wulfhart's adviser during the Eye of the Vortex Wulfhart campaign. To be honest, that's all there is to say about this guy. The fact that halflings do evidently exist in Total War Warhammer can lead to potential halfing units being available down the road, but only time will tell.
</div>
</div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">
*'''Slavin Kurnz the Betrayer'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
Boyar from Kislev's trailer who was assigned by Tzarina Katarin herself to rule over Fort Dervingard, Kislev's northernmost stronghold. Angry at his thankless and incredibly hard task not being recognised by the Ice Court, he eventually snapped and turned to Khorne, before being defeated and (most likely) killed by Prince Yuri Barkov in the prologue campaign of TWW3. [[Konrad Curze|And yes, he is an another Warhammer reference to ''Heart of Darkness''/''Apocalypse Now''.]]
</div>
</div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">
*'''Kevon Lloydstein'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
A starting hero, a Wight King, for the Vampire Counts (Sylvania faction). A memorial to a staff member of CA that had passed away name Kevin Lloyd. He started with his own unique trait so that immediately give him some advantage. Thank you, Kevin.
