The Berserker: The class is designed for physical attackers being in the heat of battle.

Guess who the Big Bad of Fall of Oriath is?ДЄ subclass of the Marauder that thrives in the thick of the fight, gaining massive power for a trade-off.

Tempting Fate: After killing Malachai, he calls out to Kitava, the Karui Way's God of Evil, taunting him that his champions and his kingdom are dead and that he is 'Father of Corruption' no more.

Though he starts to question the Way after seeing how King Kaom has twisted it to fuel his delusions. For example, Dominus's narration when selecting him as a character strongly implies he refused to change his religion as part of his crimes.

Religious Bruiser: The Awakening changed much of his and others' dialogue to show that he is very devout to the Karui Way and their gods.

Proud Warrior Race Guy: A member of the Karui people.

Mighty Glacier: As the resident tank, he's intended to be a big bruiser capable of dealing and absorbing a lot of damage.

The actuality killing the beast *frees* Kitava.

Irony: The Marauder thinks the Beast is the avatar of Kitava, and killing it is essentially killing Kitava and ending the corruption.

Gameplay and Story Segregation: Despite the Karui Way forbidding Karui men from using Ranged weapons, there is absolutely nothing stopping you from equipping your Marauder with a Bow.

Combat Pragmatist: The lore states that Karui warriors are forbidden from using projectile weapons, yet he has no compunction against using such.

The Big Guy: The largest of the playable characters.

Barbarian Hero: How the rest of the world sees him, being Karui.

He will take me to meet the ancestors when I am ready, and I am not ready. I feel him travelling beside me to this new land, this Wraeclast. I see him in the eyes of the men and beasts that I kill. (Even if one interprets the story as all seven characters being involved, that still means seven criminals turn the world upside down through raw willpower.)Дeath is my brother.

One Man Armies: The Exiles singlehandedly turn around the entire fate of Wraeclast, bringing down entire armies and even gods through raw destructive power.

Then, them going into the Atlas ultimately leads to Sirus burning Oriath to the ground.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The events in Act 4 lead to Kitava's resurrection, and that of the other Gods and all the problems that arise in Part 2.

Hope Bringer: No matter their motivations, each of the player exiles manages to bring hope to the villages of survivors who are desperately fighting for survival in Wraeclast.

The Duelist followed suit in Siege of the Atlas.

The Templar received new voicelines fors Act 5 and onward and post-game bosses, so it may seem they're working on fixing this as they get closer to releasing Path of Exile 2.

Lampshaded in the Heist League, where Karst will occasionally comment that he enjoys working with the Exile precisely because they're 'the quiet type'. This is apparently because Grinding Gear Games was unable to get some of the original voice actors for the exiles back to record new lines.

Heroic Mime: Despite the exiles having plenty of different lines when entering certain areas and defeating certain bosses, they ultimately become this starting from Act 5 apart from a few quips when killing rare enemies, running out of space in their inventory, or trying to use a skill on cooldown.until they washed up on the shores of Wraeclast, grabbed their first gemstones, and started destroying everything in their path. From Nobody to Nightmare: Even the most dangerous of the Exiles was just a relatively minor individual in the grand scheme of things back in Oriath.Deadpan Snarker: All of them to some extent, but the Ranger, Shadow, and Witch are easily the snarkiest of the bunch.Certain characters give them other monikers as well, such as 'Survivor' (from Einhar) and 'Godslayer' (from Kirac and Zana). Canon Identifier: Since they have no canonical names, NPCs simply refer to them as 'Exile'.Badass Boast: Mostly upon reaching certain levels or defeating certain bosses.(Oriath being Oriath, not all of those crimes were actually equal.) Anti-Hero: Every single one of them is some kind of criminal-not just falsely accused, they actually did what they were convicted of.Alas, Poor Villain: Some of them express sympathy after felling certain bosses, though which bosses vary between classes.
