Chronicles of Thomas Covenant/Characters


Introduced in the First Chronicles

Thomas Covenant

  • Anti-Hero: In the first series, Type 1 mixed with Type V. In the second series, Type 3.
  • The Chosen One: Deconstructed
  • Designated Hero: Deliberately.
  • Flat Earth Atheist: Though to be fair, he's convinced that if he allows his worldview to contain anything but leprosy, he'll lose his self-protective skills and die a very prolonged and unpleasant death.
  • Hero with an F In Good
  • How Do I Shot Web?: It takes a whole trilogy for Covenant to learn to use his ring.
  • Jerkass: In the first series
  • Moral Event Horizon: Raping Lena. Notably, Covenant himself views it as a crossing; he's never free of his guilt, and the consequences dog him from pretty much the whole Chronicles.
    • At the time he did it, Covenant explicitly believed that Lena's existence- and the existence of everything else in the Land, was an hallucination. He ultimately concludes that this does not constitute a legitimate excuse.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: By the end of the second trilogy, he resolves to give Foul his ring and let himself die, since the broken Law of Death will allow him to remain forever as a barrier between the wild magic and the Arch of Time.
  • Power Incontinence: In the second series, Lord Foul uses cursed venom to deliberately induce this, hoping Covenant will lose control completely and annihilate the Land on his own.
  • Take a Third Option: How he resolves his dilemma about the Land's reality.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: The aforementioned Moral Event Horizon.

Vain

  • Heroic Sacrifice: Didn't see that one coming, did you?
  • Implacable Man
  • The Load: On account of following the heroes around while being nearly impossible to make do anything.
  • The Voiceless
  • Wild Card: Sort of. Vain doesn't do much, but he does have an ultimate purpose, and nobody knows what that is (except for Findail, who's not telling). It turns out he's half of what's needed to recreate the Staff of Law.
