NONPLAYERCHARACTER
Non-player character
A non-player character, sometimes known as a non-person character or non-playable character, in a game is any character that is not controlled by a player. In electronic games, this usually means a character controlled by the computer through artificial intelligence. In traditional tabletop role-playing games the term applies to characters controlled by the gamemaster or referee, rather than another player.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Non-player character
