Non-Playable Character

A NPC or Non-Playable Character, is any fictional character not controlled by the player. These characters are usually controlled by a computer and are scripted to do certain actions (e.g. die, talk, run) not controllable by the player. These actions are sometimes critical to the storyline and must be controlled by a computer.
