NPC

An NPC is a non-playing character in a roleplaying game. The term is used most commonly in computer roleplaying games like Baldur's Gate.

Example NPCs

 * Sarevok is an NPC from Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal because you cannot play as him and he is not harmed in the game unless it is part of the story of the game.
 * Xan is an NPC from the Baldur's Gate game. He is not hurt in the game the way the PC (playing character) is effected by an enemy, unless, like said above, it is part of the storyline.
