	A rogue [[Modron]] fighter that has just a little chaos in him, cutting him off from the modron collective and buggering up his previously-functional programming. He has four arms, wields gear-spirit crossbows, and at times makes about as much sense as a certain [[4e]] [[Bloody Path\|rules regarding level 15 rogue's special abilities]]. Good thing your character's an amateur programmer... Hilarious, and probably the best ranged buddy in the game, though the actual quest to recruit him is infamous for being a real ''motherfucker'', hard to find, easy to miss even if you do, and annoying to complete even if you know everything you're supposed to do.

Line 19:		Line 19:
	After waking up in the Mortuary, and successfully escaping before the [[Dustmen]] find out about his immortality and take steps to "correct" it (by hoiking him into the [[Elemental Planes\|Elemental Plane of Fire]]), the Nameless One ventures forth into the fabled City of Doors itself, [[Sigil]]. From there he must gain allies and eventually find out about himself; particularly, why he is unable to stay dead. The game begins in the Hive portion of Sigil and later into the Clerk and Upper wards as well as into [[Lady of Pain\|The Lady's]] Mazes, [[Carceri]] and the Hells themselves. All the while you get to enjoy thugs around every corner, demons, shadows that are trying to kill you (again) and the general... "charm" of Sigil's varied peoples.

	{{spoiler\|After many side-quests through the kind of weirdness on a properly executed Sigil can provide, the Nameless One finally finds out that he was once a man who committed a sin so terrible that a single lifetime wouldn't be enough to redeem himself, and thusly he was doomed to the [[Lower Planes]] and the [[Blood War]] upon death. Desperate to avoid this fate, he sought to become immortal with the aid of a [[Hag\|Night Hag]] named Ravel Puzzlewell...unfortunately, her experiment only partially worked, and his constant "resetting" upon death caused him to forget his original mission to seek redemption. Worse, not only was his immortality fueled by draining the life from random individuals across the multiverse, causing him to spawn vengeful shadows, but his torn-out mortality became a living entity in its own right and sought to torment him throughout eternity. Facing his mortality down in the Fortress of Regrets, the final dungeon of the game, the Nameless One either merges with his mortality and descends to the Lower Planes to begin paying for his crimes, or utterly annihilates the both of them.}}		{{spoiler\|After many side-quests through the kind of weirdness only a properly executed Sigil can provide, the Nameless One finally finds out that he was once a man who committed a sin so terrible that a single lifetime wouldn't be enough to redeem himself, and thusly he was doomed to the [[Lower Planes]] and the [[Blood War]] upon death.

The game is incredibly text-heavy (seriously, the script has like 800,000 words. The fucking [[Harry Potter]] series has only got 200,000 more than that with seven books), and most fights can be successfully talked out of with the exception of the occasional random encounter with street thugs and a couple of bosses. Put your points into intelligence, charisma, and wisdom to see all of the writing you can out of the game!

	Despite poor sales (because, y'know, reading's ''hard''), this game has since gained a massive cult following among roleplayers.		Despite poor sales (because, y'know, reading's ''hard''), this game has since gained a massive cult following among roleplayers.
