Nameless Hero - A chosen one and a protagonist of the Gothic Series. He is a young, well built man with a beard, hazel eyes and dark blond hair that form a pony tail. In Gothic 3 his appearance has been changed. His hair was changed to bronze, eyes to gray, and the pony tail has been removed.
He displays ironic sense of humor, sometimes even auto-ironic, while he's also having a high self-esteem and being sensitive about himself. It is not known what got him thrown into colony, only that he spent two months in the dungeon before that. In Gothic 3 King Rhobar II said, that he was sent into the colony, so he can discover his power and find out that he's a chosen one. His name was never revealed, although he tried to introduce himself several times - to no success.
