CCCs (Computer-Controlled Characters) are intelligent people controlled not by real people, but by the computer. These act in many ways like real people in that they have ambitions, method and style. They have the ability to take and sell items, fight intelligently, and even sleep when tired. CCCs gain levels by acting just as you do, while they lose levels through death. The only area where CCCs are insufficient is in the area of speech, when unless specifically directed by the computer will not utter a word. Often they will give items to players close to their own outlook and generally they will be happy to barter.
