History Characters / KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLordsTheParty

* BeautyEqualsGoodness: As mentoned above. Same reason as Revan.

* BreakingOldTrends: The Exille is the first and only customizable player character from a ''Star Wars'' video game to be canonically declared female.

-->'''Atton Rand''' (upon seeing her for the first time, wearing nothing but her underwar): Nice outfit - you miners change regulation unfiforms since I've been in here?\\

* SchrodingersCanon: Characters in [[Franchise/StarWarsTheHighRepublic the High Republic era]] in canon have used the exclaimation "Surik's Blade!" When asked if this was a reference to Meetra Surik, Cavan Scott implied that it was. Similarly to Revan, to date there has been no other word on whether the rest of her story is canon, other than that she was an important figure to the Jedi.

* LimaSyndrome: [[spoiler:He fell in love with his last Jedi captive. It happened possibly because that she was who awakened the Force in him: being suddenly open to the universe brought him the feel of all his evil acts, but it was probably also a trascendent experience at a subconscious level.]]

* ThePigPen: Downplayed, but the Disciple and the Handmaiden's comment when Atton talks about Nal Hutta and Mira's comment when she catches him eavesdropping on the Exile and the Disiple meditating implies he doesn't bathe or shower enough.

** [[spoiler:In the Restored Content Mod, whether this applies to his ability to hack droids depends on the outcome of the HK factory, assuming the player went to the trouble of completing it. If HK-47 converts the HK-51s to his side, G0-T0 gets shot down without fighting back; if 47 completely shuts down the factory, G0-T0 attempts and fails to hack 47; if the factory is ignored, G0-T0 will successfully hack and incapcitate HK-47.]]

* INeedToGoIronMyDog: He pulls out such an excuse to try and get out of having to go inside the Sith Acedemy on Korriban.

* CharmPerson: [[spoiler:Theorized by the Masters; the Exile is a MagneticHero due to being a wound in the Force, and so has a natural influence on others' personalities to become more like themself in ideology due to their unnaturally quick Force bonds with them, causing them to gradually change towards their Force alignment, for [[TheRedeemer good]] or [[TheCorrupter ill]]. Played with, however, in that this does ''[[MoreThanMindControl not]]'' actually hijack their personalities; if the Exile alienates their companions, they will move ''away'' from said alignment, implying that if anything, the fact they have an empathic connection with the Exile makes even their ideals loathsome.]]

* EveryoneWentToSchoolTogether: Actually played straight, as the Exile is mentioned as being a student at Dantooine alongside Revan and Malak. A vision on Korriban likewise shows Bastila amongst the group that Malak attempted to recruit during the war, which immediately clues them in that it's false, as in reality, Bastila utterly ''refused'' to join them.

* TheFaceless: Technically not an example, as the Exile's face is whatever you select at character creation. However, for a long time the official version of the character lacked a proper picture or facial description, prompting Wookieepedia to have all screenshots with the Exile in it to be shown with her head out of the picture or obscured by something flashy. This changed when a miniature of her was released, along with an image, finally.
* FatalFlaw: [[spoiler:The Exile's desire to connect with others and help them. This was the root of their Force bonding talent, which allowed the Exile to share their comrades' pain and influence them with their own worldview. The Battle of Malachor V, however, deconstructed this wish: forced to feel in an instant the demise of so many people they had fought alongside and bonded with, the Exile was overwhelmed by the sheer scale of the death they were experiencing and instinctively severed their Force ties in order to survive, which didn't avoid the opening of a Force wound within the Exile where their bonds to their friends had been.]]

* GoodCounterpart: If played on the light side, the Exile is this to [[spoiler:Darth Nihilus. Both characters receive their power through the Force by feeding on the Force energy of others, except Nihilus is too dependent on the Force, and has long since had his humanity sucked into his own wound in the Force. A light side Exile retains that humanity due to their not being dependent on the Force, and doesn't exert a negative influence on others. Basically, where Nihilus is a black hole, the Exile is a sun.]]

* HiddenDepths: The character's views are largely determined by the player, but the available dialogue options paint their overall personality as that of a Jedi skeptical towards the Council and more interested on the spirit of the Jedi Code than its letter. Unsurprisingly, Atris in particular evokes a fair bit of opposition from the Exile, whose lines for her, even the most submissive ones, tend not to hide their dislike of her orthodox views.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Played with in regards to [[spoiler:Kreia. Other characters like Atton find her creepy and untrustworthy, if not ObviouslyEvil, yet the Exile considers her just another of their comrades and is willing to do for her what they would do for the last of them. It is implied that, being a fellow Jedi and having been part of Revan's heretics, the Exile is simply accustomed to the kind of quirks Kreia shows and cannot honestly find anything wrong with another Jedi having become cynical and ruthless due to the recent wars. Furthermore, it is even possible that the Exile, who already became skeptical in their own towards the Jedi Order, is unconsciously attracted to Kreia's unorthodox philosophies even if they disagree with her pettiest points. Kreia's abilities to influence people cannot be discounted either, given the Force bond that's formed between her and the Exile.]]

* RememberTheNewGuy: Was apparently the Revanchists' number three, if not even Revan's co-lancer along with Malak, and was in command of the superweapon that effectively ended the Mandalorian Wars. However, the previous game doesn't hint their existence at all, and from its perspective, it comes a bit to a surprise that Revan had such an important follower not to be mentioned. It's possible they were [[{{Unperson}} deliberately forgotten after what they did at Malachor V.]]

* StupidGood: A Light Side Exile can be just as thoughtless and gullible in their charity and altruism. For instance, helping out obviously shady figures without actually taking the time to investigate their potential ulterior motives, and even helping desperate beggars can lead to trouble later, if not for the Exile, then for those they helped.

* VagueAge: Mira [[LampshadeHanging wonders about it]] in her thoughts. If the Exile asks her if she wants to develop their relationship (as a LoveInterest if male, as [[HeterosexualLifePartners friends]] if female), she will say that they are too old for her. If the Exile presses her, she admits that they might not be ''that'' old, but due to all they've been through, they might as well be a hundred years old.[[note]] Given what we know, the Exile is probably at least in their mid-thirties, if not older. They're said to be about ten years older than Bastila, who is generally believed to be in her late teens or early twenties in the first game; also, by the time Revan recruited them for the Mandalorian Wars, approximately thirteen years prior to the beginning of the second game, they were already old enough to be promoted to Jedi Knight and start training Padawans.[[/note]]

* WhatHaveIBecome: [[spoiler:Kreia states her belief that on a subconscious level, the Exile ''always'' knew what they had [[HumanoidAbomination become]] after Malachor V, and the real reason they [[ScrewDestiny severed themselves from the Force]] was because they were ''afraid.'']]

* YourTraditionIsNotMine: Not to the extent of Kreia, who is almost iconoclast towards the Jedi Code, but it is implied the Exile isn't particularly thrilled about several precepts of the Jedi Order, especially regarding who can be trained in the Force's ways and when and how and when to act to help others.

* CursedWithAwesome: [[spoiler: The trauma of Malachor V turned their Force bond talent into a Force wound, which under the right conditions might be a threat to all the Force. However, the same wound increases the Exile's powers through fighting and killing, and it gives them an improbable victory against the otherwise invincible Darth Nihilus.]]

* DroppedABridgeOnHer: [[spoiler: Gets unceremoniously stabbed {{in the back}} by [[KarmaHoudini Lord Scourge]] in the finale of ''{{Literature/Revan}}''.]]

* FourStarBadass: Was one of Revan's top generals during the Mandalorian Wars and led the campaigns on Dxun and [[spoiler: Malachor V]]. Regains this by the end of the game, as the various forces that the Exile assisted during the game will respond to Telos' [[GondorCallsForAid distress signal]]: From Dantooine, either the Khoonda militia or Azkul's mercenaries, from Onderon, the forces of the side the Exile backed in the Civil War, and the united Mandalorian clans from Dxun.

* GoodCounterpart: If played on the light side, the Exile is this to [[spoiler: Darth Nihilus. Both characters receive their power through the Force by feeding on the Force energy of others, except Nihilus is too dependent on the Force, and has long since had his humanity sucked into his own wound in the Force. A light side Exile retains that humanity due to their not being dependent on the Force, and doesn't exert a negative influence on others. Basically, where Nihilus is a black hole, the Exile is a sun.]]

* MagneticHero: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]], [[JustifiedTrope justified]], and [[{{Deconstruction}} deconstructed]]; [[spoiler: it turns out to be one of The Exile's many Force powers.]]

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: Giving the order to activate a planet-crushing superweapon on Malachor V, killing almost everyone present, both Republic and Mandalorian]].

* PowerOfTheVoid: [[spoiler: Why Nihilus' attempt to feed on the Exile fails. The Exile is a "wound" in the Force, meaning Forcewise they are a literal negative-space, almost a black hole. They unknowingly draw energy from others around them, either symbiotically (if light side) or parasitically (dark). Nihilus tries to drain the Exile, but receives a big bite of un-Force and weakens instead.]]

* ReplacementGoldfish: [[spoiler: If Kreia truly is Arren Kae, it seems that after being forced to abandon her daughter, she began to see Meetra as a substitute and grew to love her.]]

* WhatHaveIBecome: [[spoiler: Kreia states her belief that on a subconscious level, the Exile ''always'' knew what they had [[HumanoidAbomination become]] after Malachor V, and the real reason they [[ScrewDestiny severed themselves from the Force]] was because they were ''afraid.'']]

* AndTheAdventureContinues: It was originally intended that he would [[spoiler: accompany the Exile in their journey to the Unknown regions should he survive the fight with Sion, with the two walking away together.]] This [[spoiler:ending]] was restored with the The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod.

* DyingDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler: To a female lightsided Exile on the Restored Content Mod, if he falls in his duel with Darth Sion. After the Exile defeats Kreia, Atton dies in her arms after telling her he'd fallen for her at first sight in Peragus. For more of a kicker, it's the only time throughout the game he ever admits his feelings for her.]]

** He can also be considered a foil to Darth Sion, as both can endure physical damage that would kill a rancor and keep on getting back up. [[spoiler: Probably why there was originally a scene where the two would fight (see below)]].

* {{Irony}}: He's a scoundrel, a selfish jerk, and [[spoiler: has a dark past as a Sith torturer.]] He's from Alderaan, which the movies and the rest of the EU portray as a planet of PerfectPacifistPeople.

** In cut content, several party members decide to [[spoiler: confront Darth Traya on Malachor V while the Exile is still on their way, including Atton. After seeing Traya effortlessly wipes the floor with the other three (Mira, Visas and Handmaiden/Disciple), Atton ''books it''.]]

* GadgeteerGenius: He has a remote from childhood that's still running and he built that artificial arm of his. [[spoiler: Oh... and the superweapon that ended the Mandalorian Wars.]] He is also extremely good at item crafting, since his high Intelligence stat combined with his unique skill oriented class allows him to easily take apart anything you don't need and craft upgrade parts for anything you do need.

* JadedWashout: Some of his less-flattering opinions about Jedi have a firm basis in first-hand observation. [[spoiler: He was a promising apprentice, but there was no one left to train him after half the Order ran off with Revan and the ones left were HolierThanThou types like Atris and Vrook. He spent his whole life in an enclave, and was essentially kicked out to fend for himself when he came of age]]. The Republic military gave him a chance to serve and contribute, however.

* ReluctantRuler: [[spoiler: Depending on what path you take and if you re-train him, he becomes either a Senator or the rebuilt Order's Grandmaster]].

--> '''HK-47:''' Statement: As always, fat one, you have miscalculated.\\

* TheFool: Invoked -- Kreia calls him a "fool" during the entire game. In the final conversation, when asked about Atton's future, she states Atton is a fool, and like most fools will somehow survive through [[BornLucky pure luck]] and AchievementInIgnorance.

--> '''Mira:''' You need ''me'' to do this? Why don't ''you'' do it?
--> '''The Exile:''' You're the beautiful one Mira. I need you to do this.
--> '''Mira:''' Well, all right... I guess I'll do it.

--> '''Mira:''' I don't want to be afraid or alone anymore. I... I... I don't want to keep running, and looking, and never fell like I'm finding what I'm looking for. I'm tired of being hunted.

--> '''Exile:''' You're right, I guess you probably wouldn't be Vogga's type...
--> '''Mira:''' Oh so it's going to be like that? Fine! I'll do it. I'm not going to step down from a challenge like that.

* ChainmailBikini: Her default armor is a kind of leather chainmail trousers and short jacket, exposing a shirt [[BareYourMidriff revealing her stomach]] and her cleavage.

* CharmPerson: [[spoiler Theorized by the Masters; the Exile is a MagneticHero due to being a wound in the Force, and so has a natural influence on others' personalities to become more like themself in ideology due to their unnaturally quick Force bonds with them, causing them to gradually change towards their Force alignment, for [[TheRedeemer good]] or [[TheCorrupter ill]]. Played with, however, in that this does ''[[MoreThanMindControl not]]'' actually hijack their personalities; if the Exile alienates their companions, they will move ''away'' from said alignment, implying that if anything, the fact they have an empathic connection with the Exile makes even their ideals loathsome.]]

* HurtingHero: Even a Dark-Sided Exile drags a heavy emotional load.

* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:If he is defeated by Darth Sion on Malachor V, when he's found dying by the Exile he tells them that he was tired of living, being haunted by all the deaths he caused.]]

* INeedToGoIronMyGod: He pulls out such an excuse to try and get out of having to go inside the Sith Acedemy on Korriban.

--> '''HK-47:''' As always, fat one, you have miscalculated.\\

-->''"You do not know the indignity of being compelled to save something you do not believe can - or should - be saved."''

* RavenHairIvorySkin: Described as pale skinned, beautiful and dark haired in the Revan novel. The offical miniature figurine looks like this as well.

* MsFanservice: Not only is her default outfit [[DistractedByTheSexy meant}} to draw the male gaze, but she is also one of the three party members alongside the female Exile and Brianna the Handmaiden who can be chosen to dance for Vogga in a skimpy costume reminiscent of Leia's slave outfit from Film/ReturnOfTheJedi.

* WalkingArmory: She ''is'' the resident Jango Fett expy after all, complete with a wrist-mounted dart/rocket launcher.

* UndyingLoyalty: He still calls the Exile "General," and is ready to follow them into hell a second time.

* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: If you make her fall to the Dark Side, [[spoiler:she goes from being a TechnicalPacifist who dislikes killing and prefers non-lethal methods of takedown and who is disturbed by how easily she kills while with the Exile, to a PsychoForHire BloodKnight who develops a taste for killing and racks up a significant body count in her hunt - not unlike Hanharr.]]

* MilesToGoBeforeISleep:His life-debt with Mira forces him to do everything in his power to stay alive. This is one of the reasons why he's so obsessed with killing her.

* OneManArmy: Especially on Onderon, it's made fairly clear that their involvement is what tips the tide of the civil war. On the light side, Kavar already feels the tide turning with the Exile's arrival and them breaking through the rear flank of Vaklu's forces is nothing short of a miracle for the royalists. On the dark side, Kavar is filled with dread at the Exile's presence and Vaklu outright says that he had faith in them because despite the galaxy throwing everything it has at them, ''nothing could stop them''.

* ThePigPen: Downplayed, but the Disciple and the Handmaiden's comment when Atton talks about Nal Hutta implies he doesn't bathe often.

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Kreia's divination in the Light Side ending predicts she will perform one, but without regrets.]]

* UndyingLoyalty: Despite his self-proclaimed [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder tendency to cut and run]], he's one of your most loyal companions. [[spoiler:He's no more immune to the Exile's [[MagneticHero Force abilities]] than anyone else, but on top of that, he's driven by guilt over the beloved Jedi he betrayed through his previous UndyingLoyalty to Revan.]]

* BirdsOfAFeather: Has a lot in common with all of their romantic options, male and female: is [[spoiler:TheAtoner for their actions when serving under Revan in the war]] like Atton, became disillusioned with the Jedi Order and was let down by the Masters like the Disciple [[spoiler:suffered the effects of their Force powers in their environment]] like the Handmaiden, was [[spoiler:forced to feel the death of an entire world]] like Visas, and became essentially a refugee after the Mandalorian Wars like Mira.

* WarriorTherapist: And boy, they're ''very'' good at it.

* FromCamouflageToCriminal: A former [[spoiler:Republic soldier during the Mandalorian Wars and later a Sith assassin during the Jedi Civil War]], he became a smuggler and scoundrel.

* HiddenDepths: They're not pleasant. They're [[{{Foreshadowing}} hinted at]] when you defeat Visas, and his first comment is that he's not sure how he would go about killing someone of her species.

* SurvivalMantra: [[PsychicStatic "Switch the face of the +1/-1 card, the totals are nine-ten. Switch the face of the +2/-2 card, the totals are eight-eleven..."]]
