[edit] Main Characters
[edit] George Stobbart
George is once more a patent lawyer, now with an office in Idaho. He and Nico have split since Broken Sword 2. George travels to the Congo to meet the inventor Cholmondely who has apparently discovered a limitless source of power. His plane however crashes when it is hit by an unexpected storm. George finds his way into Cholmondely's underground dig only to witness him being murdered by Señor Susarro. Following a lead, in the form of a postcard from Glastonberry, George travels to England to search for a person identified only as Bruno.
Bruno turns out to be Osvalt, last seen in Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars a former member of the Neo-Templars. Bruno explains to George that the Neo-Templar order has been transformed into the Cult of the Dragon by Susarro, who is using earth/dragon energy which travels across the Earth along the lay lines. The search for strong energy concentrations lead them to an abandoned theatre in Paris where George is reunited with Nico and they discover an underground crystal-chamber which contains a clue that leads them back to the Congo, in the form of a stone baring an Omega.
They also discover an artifact identified by Bruno as the Key of Solomon, a device which is used to power a machine called the Armillary which can cause a concentration of energy anywhere in the world, but it is stolen by a shadowy figure as George and Nico escape from the theatre. In the Congo, George and Nico discover a similar crystal room and another stone, baring the letter Alpha.
During their journey to the Congo, Bruno is kidnapped and taken to Prague, to a medieval castle inhabited by Susarro and protected by his private army. In Prague George and Nico figure out that the Temple of the Dragon, which holds the Armillery is located in Egypt and discover that the Key of Solomon was stolen by a member of the St. Stefan Chapter of the Templar order, who have taken refuge under Montfaucon. Susarro, however, gets to them first and steals the key. George however finds the last of the Greek Alphabet stones, the Psi-stones and is knigted.
Using the stones the heroes discover the location of the Armillery, by finding Egyptian landmarks matching the shape of the letters. George and Nico put a stop to Susarro, but are in turn trapped in the temple by Petra and the Grand Master who turns out to have survived the last encounter with Stobbart. The Armillary shows that the earth-energy will gather at Glastonbury. George and Nico head there. Facing the Grand Master on the Glastonbury Tor, the dragon energy turns him into a dragon and George falls to a bizarre cave where he discovers Excalibur and uses it to slay the dragon.
[edit] Nicole Collard
One of the two playable characters. When going to interview a hacker named Vernon Nico comes face to face with his murderer, a woman named Petra, who intends to frame her.
Nico spends two days in jail, but eventually, with the help of Vernon's goth girlfriend Beatrice, opens Vernon's safe and discovers a DVD where Vernon explains that he decoded the Voynich manuscript and discovered that the strange weather-patterns were a result of the villains tapping into the geomantic energies. Nico follows a lead to the theatre where she is captured by Susarro and saved by George. The two then travel to Congo to discover one of the three Greek Alphabet stones.
Through Nico's doing they also discover Susarro's fortress in Prague. Nico assists George near the end by taking Petra head-on in the final battle.

He starts out sarcastic towards George, as always, but becomes more friendly after befriending Beatrice, the two apparently becoming an item.

[edit] Dudley Cholmondely
The scientist George was supposed to meet. Susarro kills him. It is learnt from Bruno that his name is pronounced Chumley, pronouncing it chol-mon-de-ley apparently drives him nuts.

Despite her efforts she is unable to kill either George or Nico. She is a reputed sadist. Though she appears loyal to Susarro she betrays him in Egypt and turns out to be an agent of the Grand Master who she saved at St. Ninians.

She seemlessly disappears after the conclusive battle between George and the Grand Master.

[edit] The Grand Master
The Grand Master seems to have survived his encounter with Stobbart from the first game, having been saved and healed by Petra who turns out to be his agent. The left-side of his face is badly burned but he has mastered the power of the Broken Sword and consequently received new deadly powers such as the ability to shoot dragon energy, in the form of lightning, from his hands. Traveling to Glastonburry, he is transformed into a dragon by the earth energy and defeated by George using the lengendary sword Excalibur.
