A non-player character (short NPC) is any person in the game that the player character (PC) can interact with. They are not controlled by anyone but a set AI, but may belong to a certain faction within the game, unlike the PC, who gets a faction just for him/herself. So basically, a NPC is just anyone you meet in the game besides yourself.
