There are two different protagonists in Banishers Ghosts of New Eden Scottish Banisher: Red mac Raith and his lover Antea Duarte. Apart from being together, the dynamic between the two is very interesting, as Mac Raith is also somewhat of an apprentice to Antea Duarte.

However, things get even more interesting as Antea isn't actually alive. She's been killed and will now accompany Red mac Raith on his quest in a spectre form. Both protagonists have big personalities; while Red is an emotional being, his female counterpart, Antea, is a master of her craft who has a temper.

The game does an excellent job of slowly building up these characters. As you progress through Banishers Ghosts of New Eden's fairly long campaign, you will learn more about their origins and motivations. All of it is so well done that players are left with two solid protagonists whom they can't help but care about.

There are activities around the world that only Antea can complete, and the same can be said for Red. These characters are fun to play around with, and their skill trees do a good enough job of empowering them throughout the game.
