personaje distinto del jugador (ver explicación)


Explanation:
according to wikipedia

A non-player character (sometimes "non-playable character" or "non-player class"), often shortened to NPC, is a character in a role-playing game or video game. An NPC may be a bot in a computer game, but traditionally NPCs have been human-controlled characters, and even in some online games there may be NPCs played by humans.
[edit] Computer and video games
The term Non-player character is also used in console and computer role-playing games to describe entities not under the direct control of players.

Nearly always the connotation is that an NPC is allied with, or at least neutral toward, the player, rather than being an enemy.
