“ | Throughout the course of Corruption of Champions II, the PC will be able to recruit a variety of characters to help on his or her quest. While many of the people you find in the world can provide services or support for your mission, an elite handful may actually join the PC in the adventure themselves.

—Corruption of Champions II: Public Design Document |
The Champion's party always includes themselves. It may include up to two companions, one guest, and one summon.
Companions
Companions are a core element of the party system. They are intended to travel and interact with the Champion throughout their adventures: they interact with the world, other characters, and with the other companions. In combat, they play a significant roles, from healing, to damaging, to tanking, based their equipped companion set. Regardless of companion health points, if the Champion is defeated in combat, the party experiences combat loss. In normal play, the Champion can only bring up to two companions at a time.
Only veteran writers were allowed to create companions, as they are a huge undertaking and must be accounted for in most, if not all, new and existing content. To prevent significant backtracking for newly-added companions into old content, a submission deadline was set before Khor'minos proper could be entered. It should be noted that the submission for new companions has been closed since version 0.4.20 (November 1, 2021), and any conceptualized companions that were not added before the deadline will not be added.
Companion Tags
Initially, when the companion list was finalized, companion tags were meant to act as a future-proofing system to include or exclude companions in post-combat sex scenes. During a victory sex scene, an Aggressive companion could sex another member of the defeated party, while a Reserved companion would be excluded from most sexual acts in any victory sex scene. This system is largely unused now, as it has been easier to write the companion interaction specifically.
Any non-Chaste companion is considered a sexable companion, and thus can be included in most victory and loss sex scenes that include non-Chaste participation. While rarely used, any non-Chaste & non-Reserved companion is considered a sex-hungry companion, and may comment or participate in certain sex-related scenes.
Followers & Character Items
Followers, or Camp Followers, are characters that can accompany the Champion throughout their adventures, but are mostly interacted with at the Champion's camp. Unlike companions, they offer limited to no combat support and rarely contribute dialogue to content that is not related to them. On the other hand, Character Items travel with the Champion by occupying a slot in their inventory. Their main method of interaction is through the Use function in the Champion's inventory or while at camp. While similar to followers, there is a distinct enough difference to split the two.
Character | Type | Acquisition | Interaction Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Alante![]() |
Camp Follower | By accepting Alante's challenge in single combat (Fight Alone) to earn her hand in marriage and defeating her at The Colosseum |
|
Ashelander![]() |
Character Item | Obtained as Ashelander (weapon) at the end of A Teatime For Dragons |
|
Eubicha![]() |
Camp Follower | Can be recruited after the completion of Harboring a Fugitive (any end) |
|
Kalysea![]() |
Camp Follower | Recruited upon her return at the end of Kalysea's Offerings |
|
Lyric![]() |
Character Item | Initially obtained as the Frozen Kobold, and will thaw once the Champion sleeps with the item in their inventory |
|
Oma![]() |
Character Item | Initially obtained as the Oil Lamp through:
Note: Discovering the Oil Lamp from one location disables the chance to find it from the other. |

Guests & Temporary Party Members
During certain quests and events, characters temporarily join the Champion's party by occupying the guest slot and assist them up to a certain point in that storyline. Sometimes, a companion will be added as a guest if they are not currently present in the Champion's party, or if they were not recruited as a companion yet.
Ahmri Harboring a Fugitive ![]() Shadows Over the Sun ![]() Vision Quest ![]() Right of Conquest ![]() Nightmemory Shadows Over the Sun ![]() Nightmemory ![]() Land of Milky Honey ![]() |

Leorah Nightmemory ![]() Cow Herding ![]() Nightmemory ![]() Goocat Quest (Tiran Temple) ![]() Golden Carrot ![]() Ugly Duckling ![]() First encounter ![]() |
Temporary PC
Like guests, a non-player character may retell an experience they had in the past during certain quests and events. In these cases, the player temporarily assumes the role of that character, until a certain point in the storyline.
Atugia Nightmemory (paralogue) ![]() Winter Wolf (paralogue) ![]() The Princess Blade ![]() |
Summons
Throughout the Champion's adventures, they may come across special items and powers that allow them to summon a character to aid them in battle. While in some cases, the summoned character is a generic and unnamed elemental or creature, in others, it can be a unique, named character. Listed above their names is the item or event that unlocks the power to summon them in the table below. Some of them can be interacted with through the Wayfort's Summon Circle, while some are interactable through the special item used to summon them. This list does not include characters summoned by companions and guests, like Etheryn's summon, Harrick.
