This characters page contains the real life members of the Yogscast (who just happen to act exactly like they do in their Lets Plays and Minecraft series) and the characters of the Shadow of Israphel series, as well as other characters from their Yogscast Minecraft Series.

Yogscast IRL[]

Simon Lane[]

Endearing and simple minded, Simon's hammy and chaotic personality make him a perfect Foil to Lewis. A red oni and a Man of a Thousand Voices, he often acts quite silly and childish. His unpredictable nature never ceases to keep his fans laughing.

Lewis Brindley[]

It's been said that Simon provides most of the comedy while Lewis does all of the actual work. Others say that Lewis' calm personality make their videos more entertaining by balancing out Simon's erratic nature. The blue to Simon's red, Lewis is by far the more sensible and cautious of the two.

  • Adorkable
  • Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny: Usually when he's playing Minecraft.
  • Catch Phrase:
    • Calling Simon or an NPC "friend"
    • The "hup" sound he makes when doing a jumping puzzle. And sometimes just while jumping in general.
    • The thing is...
    • Oh God Simon, X?
    • /give honeydew 46 1
    • This is looking a bit dodgy...
    • Simon...
    • Balls to it!
    • It's good, isn't it?
    • [But] don't worry about that.
  • Creepy Child: He does a really good impression of one during the second Halloween special of the YoGPoD.
  • Fat and Skinny
  • Genre Savvy: Sometimes, sometimes not. Certainly more often than Simon.
  • Grammar Nazi: Towards Minecraft map writers. Also referred to as Grammar Hitler and Grandma Hitler by Simon.
  • Idiot Hero: While not as bad as Simon, he does have his moments.
  • Kleptomaniac Hero
  • Mad Scientist: Dabbles in this during his Mod Spotlight of the Apothecarium and Uranium mods... which he installed and showcased in the same world. Picture Lewis running away from a giant slime and a mutant slime he created by fleeing to Verigan's Hold, with nuclear reactors held inside, by going through a giant hole blown open by a nuclear explosion. Right after he had thrown a bunch of potions at some friendly dogs that belonged to someone else and set them on fire. Lampshaded by Simon.
  • Morality Chain: Sometimes acts this way to Simon.
  • Only Sane Man: During the Magicka and Trine 2 Lets Plays, he is this compared to Total Biscuit and Simon.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: Simon is red, Lewis is blue.
  • Sarcasm Mode: He goes into this every now and then.
  • Spot of Tea: This is one of Lewis' favorite drinks.
  • Straight Man: He often provides the setup for some of Simon's funny comments or actions, whether he intends to or not.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: He seems to be very fond of tea.
  • Verbal Tic: "The thing is..."

Hannah Rutherford[]

Hannah is in charge of public relations at the Yogscast, does some of the video editing, has her own Let's Play series, and is Lewis' girlfriend.

  • Action Girl: Remember the dinosaur genocide?
  • Chastity Couple: Lewis and Hannah almost never show any signs of being in a relationship and never even reference having any kind of physical romance. The only way most people remember that they are even dating is when it is specifically mentioned by other people.
    • Plus, during one YoGPoD, Simon jokingly talks about having a secret "activity" with Hannah and Lewis reacts with mild jealousy.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: She only seems normal in comparison to Simon.
  • Cuteness Proximity: She is normally reasonably logical, but when she displays the cats in Mo' Creatures, she becomes a female Simon. When one of them gives birth to kittens, she is absolutely incoherent.
  • Genre Savvy: She constantly predicts various story events correctly right before they happen in Batman: Arkham City.
  • Kleptomaniac Hero: Takes this to ridiculous levels during the Fallout: New Vegas Let's Play.
  • The Smurfette Principle: She is the only known female member of the Yogscast.
  • Wimp Fight: In a video where Simon and Hannah are trying out Total Miner, Hannah comes across a Giant Spider in an underground cavern, and she constantly tries to attack it with her pickaxe while she's way too far to actually hit anything. Even when she gets up close enough that the spider takes up the entire game screen, she still can't attack it and is too terrified to get closer to see if the pickaxe can even be used to attack spiders.

Sips[]

Now has his own page.

Lalna[]

Also known as Duncan, he's one of the more prominent members of the Yogscast, occasionally appearing in videos. However, he's better known as the artist behind the Yogscast crew, designing their YouTube page as well as directing most of the Shadow of Israphel's art design. Plays Fumblemore in the Shadow of Israphel series.

  • The Ace: Mentioned several times as being pro at every game he plays.

Yohi, Lover of Weed[]

A guild-mate of Simon and Lewis, he has appeared in several episodes of the YoGPoD.

  • Mushroom Samba: As a citizen of Amsterdam, he is fond of weed, presumably for these.
  • Token Minority: He is from the Netherlands, unlike most of the Yogscast, who mostly live in Great Britain.

Rythian[]

A Swedish member of the Yogscast who deals with every MOBA-style video they make: He usually records and commentates with Simon and Lewis on every Heroes of Newerth and Dota 2 (and once a League of Legends) game they make a video of.

Peva[]

Lewis's assistant. Also the founder of the Yogscast website and host of their Minecraft servers, but mostly just Lewis's behind the scenes assistant. Left the Yogscast on March 23, 2012.

Tinman[]

The closest thing to a real-life counterpart to the Shadow of Israphel PirateTinman, he is a Norwegian admin for the forums who also does editing behind the scenes. Left the Yogscast on... less than amiable terms in March 2012.

Sjin[]

Creator of Verigan's Hold in the Shadow of Israphel series. He collaborates frequently with Sips, and has a "rivalry" with Duncan that he also shares with Sips.

Minecraft/Shadow of Israphel[]

Terrorvale[]

Old/Knight,Verigan_Peculier[]

The first NPC the Simon and Lewis encounter other than Israphel. He started out as a kindly innkeeper, but eventually gets his own character arc. Named after his great grandfather, Verigan Antioch.

Cquote1

 "The signal tower doesn't need to be that bright..."

Cquote2
  • Distressed Dude: Knight_Peculier in Shadow of Israphel episode 15, and again in episode 31.
  • Driven to Suicide: Was this until he met Simon and Lewis, who gave him hope for facing his nightmares again.
  • Dropped a Bridge on Him
  • Guest Star Party Member: Knight_Peculier lends a hand in Lewis and Simon's adventures some times, then goes off to do his own thing.
    • He also helped the Yogscast explain the 1.2 Beta update.
  • I Am Your Father:Of Verigan_Antioch. Technically Great Grandfather.
  • It's Personal: After Israphel kidnaps Daisy_Duke, and he hears of his father's legacy, he becomes determined to stop him.
    • In episode 34, he personally kills King_Finbar after he threatens Daisy.
  • Jack of All Stats: Knight_Peculier. He isn't as good with communication or a sword as Lewis, as skilled of a miner or bowman as Simon, or as smart as Skylord_Lysander, but is competent at all of these.
  • Killed Off for Real:Dies falling into a load of radioactive... stuff... after his minecart is derailed.
  • The Load: Old_Peculier when he suffers from the taint.
  • Meaningful Name: Old_Peculier is old, and a bit quirky. When he becomes Knight_Peculier, this becomes slightly averted - he's a knight, but no longer peculiar.
  • Take Up My Sword: Old_Peculier's father to Old_Peculier, to vanquish the evil spirit and destroy the Hellgates.
  • Took a Level In Badass: Old_Peculier, becoming Knight_Peculier.
  • Younger Than They Look: He's afflicted with a 'Weariness' that makes him age faster then normal.

Daisy_Duke[]

Simon's first love interest; a blacksmith's daughter from Terrorvale who sends Lewis and Simon on their first Fetch Quest. Later kidnapped by Israphel.

  • The Blacksmith: Her role before she gets kidnapped.
  • Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: Among Simon's love interests, she is the blonde, Granny_Bacon is the redhead (she had red hair when she was young), and Isabel is the brunette.
  • Damsel in Distress: So much so that she is still in distress after three seasons, and there is no sign that she'll be rescued any time soon.
  • Punny Name: Either a reference to the character from Dukes of Hazzard or to daisy dukes, a kind of clothing.
  • Shallow Love Interest: Her personality revolves around being attracted to Honeydew or Old_Peculiar.
  • Temporary Love Interest: The first of three love interests that Honeydew has over the series. He gets over her pretty quickly, even if he's still assisting in the search for her in the quest for the map fragments. Plus, Old_Peculier was intending to propose to her.

Reverend_John[]

The reverend whose son Israphel died as a result of creepers. Sends the pair on a quest.

  • Co-Dragons: Takes the role of this very briefly in Season 3.
  • Freak-Out: Expects them not to return and tries killing them when they return. Predict the results.
  • The Undead
  • Wham! Line: "His son Israphel was out hunting when he was killed by Creepers."
  • Zero Effort Boss: Even after being resurrected as an undead warrior to aid Israphel, he is only carrying a golden sword and a piece of paper, going down relatively easily.

Zombie_Boss[]

One of Israphel's henchmen. His only role seems be dying easily and providing pork for the heroes.

  • Co-Dragons: Shares this with Creeper_Boss.
  • Mighty Glacier: Due to the fact that he always crouches while walking in order to make him seem more "zombie-like".
  • Ring Out Boss: In their first encounter with Zombie_Boss, Xephos kills him by knocking him into a ring of lava around Israphel's castle, which is just as dangerous for them.
  • The Undead: Duh.
  • The Unintelligible: He only speaks in groans.

Creeper_Boss[]

One of Israphel's henchmen. He is considerably more dangerous than Zombie_Boss thanks to his use of dynamite.

  • Co-Dragons: Shares this with Zombie_Boss.
  • Ring Out Boss: In the first encounter with him he blew himself up without seriously damaging the heroes.
  • Stuff Blowing Up: He is the Creeper_Boss after all.


Mistral City[]

Father_Braeburn[]

A priest in Mistral City who resembles Elvis. First ran the Church of the Holy Golden Apple, but later changed it to the Church of the Holy Record.

Grandma Bacon a.k.a. Granny_Bacon[]

Simon's second love interest.

Skylord_Lysander[]

A Skylord of Mistral City, Lysander usually provides quick transportation for the heroes. He usually manages to keep a level head even when Xephos and Honeydew are panicking or goofing off. The only character voiced by Lewis (other than Xephos, obviously), though on Survival Island and in Shadow of Israphel Part 8, he was voiced by Simon.

  • Ambiguously Gay: Episode 26 hints that he might be in a relationship with Skylord_Jasper.
  • Cool Airship: The Celaeno before it crashed.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Shows signs of this, usually when Xephos and Honeydew are being particularly inept or insane.
Cquote1

 "Yes, it's broken. Well done."

Cquote2
  • The Mole: Subverted. Simon and Lewis catch him seemingly worshipping Israphel after burning down Mistral City, but in reality he was framed.
  • Only Sane Man: When alone with the two main heroes he is this.
  • The Smart Guy: He is quite smart, and is a clever tactician.

Skylord_Jasper[]

One of the Skylords from Mistral City, who Lewis and Simon first meet after trying to loot his stuff. Lewis and Simon are somewhat confused as to whether he's "the good one" or "the bad one".

  • Camp Gay: More so in Episode 26 than in his initial appearance.
  • Characterization Marches On: Skylord_Jasper started out as extremely loud and extremely angry all the time. He even threatens to murder Lysander for stealing his towels. The only hint that he might have homosexual tendencies is his preference for pink in his home. When he reappears in Episode 26 he is no longer aggressive toward the heroes, he is flamboyantly gay, and he's calling Lysander "lover". And has locked him in a dungeon and stuck a ball gag in his mouth...
  • Cool Airship: He seemed to have had at least two of these. One was apparently destroyed with the burning of Mistral City. The other is at his summer retreat.
  • No Indoor Voice: He yells almost every line he has when he first appears in Mistral City.
  • The Rival: He first appears to be a rival to Lysander. Again, Episode 26 suggests otherwise.

Fumblemore[]

An incompetent wizard from Mistral City. Often blows things up, including his own home. Played by Lalna.

  • The Ace: The reason he is taken along on adventure maps. He can use magic to fly and explode obstacles, very useful in the Canopy Carnage map. It was practically made for him.
  • Butt Monkey
  • Emo Teen: What he looked like when he was younger.
  • Guest Star Party Member: He appears in the first livestream event and helped with the Canopy Carnage map.
  • Inept Mage: Almost codifies this trope.
  • Lethal Joke Character: His younger self in the Legend of Verigan Charity livestream. His combat skills are subpar, he constantly destroys his fellow adventurers by mistake with his spells, and can't gather resources without making a mess. However, he is incredibly good at blowing up spawners, and can deal with dense clusters of enemies with a blast of TNT.
  • Magic Misfire: Happens nearly every time he casts a spell.
  • Older Than They Look: Was part of Verigan's Five-Man Band over 100 years ago.
  • Sibling Rivalry: Has this with Swampy during the Canopy Carnage map.
  • Stuff Blowing Up: His usual method of dealing with anything. He doesn't always do this intentionally though.

Swampy_Bogbeard[]

Fumblemore's nature-loving brother, who detests humanity "defiling the land". Voiced by Simon as a stereotypical hippy.

Mr. Astley[]

A reformed Creeper who lives in Mistral City.

  • Heel Face Turn: But does blow up when Lewis tries killing him for some sulphur.


Carnivale de Banjo[]

Madame_Nubescu[]

A voodoo fortune teller working for the Carnivale de Banjo. Voiced by Simon in an extremely low and croaky voice. Painfully.

Strongman_Bruno[]

The carnival's resident and cheating strongman.

  • Dumb Muscle: He's strong, but he's very stupid. He keeps saying baby as "babby".
  • Unexplained Recovery: Somehow survives choking inside a tree. Granted he's still puking leaves afterwards.

Mr. Banjo[]

The carnival's shady, overly-cheerful manager. Likes disguises.


Verigan's Hold[]

Templar_Adephon[]

BBQ Bay[]

Jock_Fireblast[]

A pirate at Barbecue Bay who enlists the heroes to repair the bay and defeat Grimjaw_Slugface.

  • Evil Laugh
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: He is killed in the same fire he started when Simon and Lewis push him in and manage to block him from jumping off the bay.
  • Kill It with Fire: He burns down Barbecue Bay, as well as Mistral City.
  • The Mole
  • Sidequest: Makes Simon and Lewis help him in defeating Grimmjaw before they can gain his trust.
  • Verbal Tic: "Down there just be hard tack, aaarrrr, ha haarrrrr, and bilging gear, harrrr harrr."

Grimjaw_Slugface[]

Angus_Eyeless[]

Spacker_LeChuck[]

One of the heroes that destroyed a great evil 100 years ago, before becoming a zombie. This makes him a zombie-pirate-dwarf-in-a-boat.

  • Drunken Master: Sort of. He is able to heal himself with beer after he is injured by the zombies in Stoneholm.
  • Friendly Neighborhood Vampire: He's a zombie, but he acts more or less the same as he did in life.
  • Noodle Incident: He got hit in the gut by a cannonball. We don't know anything else about why he's a zombie.

Isabel_Peculier[]

Old_Peculier's sister, a feared pirate who works under the alias "Dread Pirate Norris".

PirateTinman[]

Isabel's accomplice; a lone robot pirate that Lewis and Simon quickly ditch.

  • Badass Automaton: Fought Israphel hand-to-hand and won.
  • Big Damn Heroes: Bursting in to save a defenseless Isabel from Israphel.
  • Eye Scream: Israphel smashed one of his eyes beyond repair during their fight.
  • Interspecies Romance: May have a thing for Isabel.
  • Number Two: Seems to be Isabel's right-hand robot.
  • The Quiet One: Speaks rarely, and only in binary. That is, until part 5 of Sunshine of Israpony, when Simon whacked him with a crowbar and he began speaking in English.


Skyhold[]

Um_Bongo[]

Skylord_Jaspar's manservant, though he apparently hates his job. He constantly requests the heroes to take him with them, despite being of little help to them.

  • Dumb Muscle
    • Too Dumb to Live: Falls to his "death" after failing to jump over a simple platform (despite claiming he could jump well and basically refusing Lewis's offer of bridging the area). Despite Simon and Lewis "regretfully lamenting his passing" [1], he somehow survived, appearing in later custom maps and mods with nothing more than a couple of sly remarks made by the duo about his fate.

Skylord_Baako[]

Skylord_Vitali[]

One of the last remaining Skylords at Skyhold.


Stoneholm[]

Moira_Magmabloom[]

A female dwarf that lives in Stoneholm. She bears a striking resemblance to Daisy. She might be the wife/girlfriend of Rory.

Rory_Rockhammer[]

Kormag_Darkforge[]

King Finbar's dragon.

King_Finbar[]

The corrupted king of Stoneholm.


Flashback characters/The Legend of Verigan[]

Prof_Grizwold[]

Initially an offscreen figure that apparently wrote a lot of notes in the adventure maps (spelled as Professor Grizwald), he has since appeared in the Israphel canon as one of the heroes that destroyed a great evil 100 years ago.

  • Ascended Extra: He only appeared in writing in an adventure map, but the memorable voice acting done by Simon made him into a One-Episode Wonder that made him become a part of the Shadow of Israphel backstory (spelled "Grizwold") in the Legend of Verigan special.
  • Large Ham: And it is glorious.
  • Mr. Exposition: Provided all the exposition in the adventure maps he appeared in and the Legend of Verigan.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: While he did help destroy a great evil 100 years ago, he was also the one who set it loose in the first place by activating a portal he found.
  • No Indoor Voice: Almost everything he says is a loud proclamation.
  • Only Sane Man: The only one in Enoch's expedition who believes that the metal hand is best feared due to its suddenly growing. He flees before he can share the fate of his comrades.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Leaves the desert expedition when it becomes clear that staying is tantamount to suicide.
  • Spell My Name with an "S": "Grizwold," "Grizwald," and "Griswold" are the most common variations.

Verigan Antioch[]

Karpath Antioch[]

Templar_Enoch[]

A templar who explores the metal structure with Grizwold. Goes crazy and kills everyone apart from Grizwold (who left) then rips himself apart.

  • Axe Crazy:After the Sand and Sentinels drive him nuts, he kills the two remaining members of his party.
  • Demonic Possession:Corrupted by the Sand, and through them the Sentinels.
  • Driven to Suicide
  • Heel Realisation: The last log shows he finally realised what he had done, and how Grizwold was right. Of course, by this point he realises this, Israphel is taunting him far too much and he rips himself to pieces because his bones are itchy.
  • Pride Before a Fall: He was fairly arrogant before the incident.

Villains[]

Israphel[]

The undead head of the Cult of Israphel, apparently hailing from the Nether.

  • The Archer: A sniper with his bow.
  • Back From the Dead
  • Bald of Evil
  • Big Bad: He seems to be.
  • The Chessmaster
  • Disk One Final Boss: The Battle of the Breach.
  • The Dragon: Possibly to the Sand God.
    • Dragon-in-Chief: If so, he is doing most of the work at the moment, as his master is resting.
  • Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: In life, he was one.
  • Evil Albino
  • Evil Only Has to Win Once: If he wins, he will take over Minecraftia, and spread his evil throughout the world.
  • Evil Overlord: What he will apparently become if the duo fails, resulting in the Bad Future seen in their vision.
  • Faux Affably Evil: The signs he leaves to message people may come across as this.
  • Humanoid Abomination
  • Kick the Dog: Kidnapped and presumably killed Old_Peculier's mother. Not to mention his indirect burning down of Mistral City and BBQ Bay; he did not do these personally but ordered Jock_Fireblast to.
  • Kill It with Fire: He usually has his minions burn enemy cities and fortresses. He himself also gains the ability to shoot fireballs some time between episodes 16 and 31.
  • Knight of Cerebus: Turned the lighthearted "Let's Play" into a somewhat more serious show.
  • Names to Run Away From Really Fast: Alternate spelling of "Israfel", an apocryphal Abrahamic angel often referred to as the trumpeter on Judgement Day.
  • Rain of Arrows: His favorite tactic.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: His red eyes are quite noticable.
  • Sdrawkcab Name: In the temple that Xephos and Honeydew take shelter in, a sign in front of an obsidian barrier says not to open, or else a beast of sorts named Lehparsi will be unleashed. They don't realize it's backwards for Israphel.
  • The Voiceless: He never speaks in any episode of the story arc.
    • To get around this, he opts to often leave signs where he's been. For example, at Granny_Bacon's funeral, he leaves a taunting sign with his name at the bottom.

The Sand God[]

The Sentinels[]

The Sand[]

  • Face Heel Turn: In Episode 38, it is revealed that the sand had been trying to hold back the evil powers but was corrupted by Israphel.
  • The Virus: Turned Enoch into a being of sandstone who killed himself by ripping out his own bones.
