Starting Class: Psionic
Starting Level: 9
Starting Location: Arnika (Mook building)
Returning Location: Arnika (Mook building)
Will Not Go: Umpani, Bayjin, Rapax, Peak
Condition: Must be aligned with Mook
If you're recruiting him for the money, you have better chances killing monsters on the road. Urq is a decent Psionic, but this will matter little if you hardly use Psionic spells or already have a character that can do so. Still, he is a decent supplemental character for mid-game use.
Advantages:
- He pays you 500 gold for every new area you show him
Disadvantages:
- 500 Gold per area won't make you rich quick
Overall Rating: ***

Name: RFS-81
Race: Android
Affiliation: None
Starting Class: Monk
Starting Level: 10
Starting Location: Old Mines (lower area)
Returning Location: Wherever you Dismissed him
Will Not Go: Rapax Away Camp
Condition: None, or fix him with NAS-81
Even though you can't change his class, once you fix him RFS-81 becomes a killing machine. Unlike most RPCs RFS-81 will loyally follow you anywhere save the Rapax Away Camp (when it appears). If anything plan on having this guy with you for most of the game; he is with you for the long haul.
If you don't have the NAS-81 by the time you get him you can find one in Arnika near the Savant
Tower.
When Dismissing RFS-81 don't do it in a place that is not easily accessable to you for when you want to recruit him again. You also don't want to leave him somewhere to get clobbered by monsters if you get in a fight while near him.
Advantages:
- Early recruit if you started with the T'rang
- Gets very powerful quickly
- One of few characters who will go to the Peak
- Stays put where you Dismissed him
Disadvantages:
- You're better off fixing him with the NAS-81
- Cannot change class
- Cannot use magic

Name: Tantris
Race: T'rang
Affiliation: T'rang
Starting Class: Samurai
Starting Level: 6
Starting Location: Old Mines (outpost)
Returning Location: Old Mines (outpost)
Will Not Go: Umpani, Bayjin, Rapax, Peak
Condition: Must be aligned with T'rang
Unlike his Umpani counterpart, if you started with the T'rang Tantris is not so easy to get; you must wade through the Swamp, through the Old Mines, and then you can recruit him (while you're there you may as well get RFS-81 on the way). And unlike most RPCs Tantris starts weak for the amount of work needed just to get to him. However, if you stick it out he does prove to be a very good fighter on your team.
Advantages:
- Early recruit if you started with the T'rang
- Excellent fighter once you level him up
- Unlike Saxx Tantris is good for the entire mid-game, since you don't have to go to Mt.
Gigas to complete the game
Disadvantages:
- Rather weak when you first get him otherwise
- Major pain to get to the T'rang outpost

Name: Glumph
Race: Umpani
Affiliation: Umpani
Starting Class: Fighter
Starting Level: 11
Starting Location: Bayjin
Returning Location: None
Will Not Go: T'rang, Rapax, Peak
Condition: Must be aligned with Umpani
Glumph is a quest RPC; once you take him to General
Yamir he is gone for good. He is one of the few
RPCs who will go to Bayjin, however, making him at least useful to an extent.
Advantages:
- One of the few RPCs who doesn't mind Bayjin
- Unlike Saxx, by the time you get him you likely won't need to go to Marten's Bluff anymore
Disadvantages:
- You can't recruit him once he leaves the party
- He may attack you if you attempt to enter an area he doesn't like (in that case you may as well give him to Yamir)

Name: Rodan
Race: Umpani
Affiliation: Umpani
Starting Class: Lord
Starting Level: 14
Starting Location: Rapax Away Camp
Returning Location: None
Will Not Go: None
Condition: You must have Drazic in your party; the
T'rang and Umpani must still be active in-game
Rodan is a quest RPC; once you complete the events that will bring about the Umpani/T'rang alliance he is gone for good. He will, however, go anywhere you like, and I do mean EVERYWHERE. Simply do the quest up to destroying the Black Ship, and he'll stick with you forever (in other words don't talk to Yamir after you destroy the ship). If for some reason Drazic is no longer in the party Rodan will leave as well.
His level does not reflect the massive amount of experience points you'll be receiving once you destroy the Black Ship.
Advantages:
- One of few RPCs who will go to the Peak
- One of a handful of carry-over characters from
Wizardry 7/Gold, which is a definite plus
Disadvantages:
- You can't recruit him once he leaves the party
- You must have Drazic in your party as well
- Only available after you retrieve two of the three artifacts

Name: Sexus
Race: Rapax
Affiliation: Rapax Templar
Starting Class: Mage
Starting Level: 18
Starting Location: Rapax Castle
Returning Location: Rapax Castle
Will Not Go: None (as far as I can tell)
Condition: You must be aligned with Rapax Templar
Although he is very powerful on paper Sexus is almost completely worthless. For one, if you become a Templar, once you leave the Rapax areas one of your characters will be Hexed indefinitely, and you have to kill Al-Sedexus to recover. That also means Sexus will leave, as killing Al-Sedexus almost certainly means you'll be killing Templar as well (there is a way around that, but it's not worth it for Sexus-- it IS if you don't want to be hammered by the Templar all the time while you're at the Castle). Basically it's like this: would you rather have a Level 18 Mage and have one of your PCs Hexed for the rest of the game, or can you do without this guy and remain un-Hexed?
On the other hand, if you intend to ally with the
Rapax for the rest of the game, you can't go wrong with this guy backing you up.
Advantages:
- Very powerful in level and in spellcasting;
Starting Level: 9
Starting Location: Arnika (Mook building)
Returning Location: Arnika (Mook building)
