History Characters / BatenKaitos

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Kalas was bullied relentlessly as a kid due to only having one wing. Wings in this world are a reflection of a person's heart, which caused people to assume there was something wrong with him.

* DullSurprise: [[spoiler:When he's not [[EvilIsHammy being evil]].]]

* DeadpanSnarker: The guy flings a lot of passive-aggressive barbs at everything that annoys him, which just so happens to be ''everything''. [[CharacterDevelopment Eventually becomes a lot nicer and well-meaning]] [[spoiler:after his HeelFaceTurn]].

* BigDamnHeroes: When he comes to help Xelha fight the Sabre Dragon. [[Subverted]] in that he only did it to get the fangs, which apparently sell for a high price.

%%* DeadpanSnarker: A fair bit. [[CharacterDevelopment Eventually becomes a lot nicer and well-meaning]] [[spoiler:after his HeelFaceTurn]].

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: In multiple ways:
** [[spoiler: Like everyone else, he had no idea Kalas was working with Melodia to resurrect Malpercio.]]
** [[spoiler: He lost contact with Georg years ago. He didn't know Georg and Fee had been killed until Kalas mentioned it.]]

* GiveHimANormalLife: Played with. [[spoiler:He and Larikush destroyed their research and fled with Kalas and Fee so George could raise them as normal children.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Not evil, per say, but ''Origins'' shows he was fairly callous about people and matters outside his research lab. [[spoiler:Geldoblame ordering Kalas's death as a flawed prototype made Georg realize exactly what kind of man he was working for.]]

* GoneHorriblyRight: [[spoiler: He is the successful tailor-made spiriter/malideiter.]]

* TheMole: [[spoiler: She was reporting on the party's actions to her father, Baelhiet. She never actually betrays you, however -- she admits to this instead.]]

* ShelteredAristocrat: It's how she introduces herself to Sagi and Guillo, even -- a sheltered upper-class girl wanting to see the world she was hidden away from.

%%* ConvenientComa
%%* DamselInDistress
%%* FriendToAllChildren
%%* GoodParents
* WingedHumanoid: She has the most elaborate wings of anyone in the series.

%%* TheStoic

* BadassNormal: Played with. [[spoiler: Mizuti is one of the Children of the Earth, an entire race of powerful wizards. However, their power has degenerated to almost nothing, leaving Mizuti as the only one with However to the world above the clouds, Mizuti is exotic and mysterious, and magic users of ''any'' kind are rare.]]

* GrandTheftMe: During the Heart-to-Heart scene, you're given an option to consume Sagi's heart and take over his body, which triggers a NonStandardGameOver.

* AceCustom: The Empire makes use of Winglets like Kalas does, but Kalas' is a far more advanced model that is mean to simulate the function of an actual wing, including growing wih him. It was designed specially for him by Georg.

* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: Played with; if you suggest saving Xelha in Rodolfo's mansion, Kalas gets annoyed with you and says he only cares about finding Giacomo. Then he runs into a door that needs two people to open. PlayedStraight in the end when he risks his life to save Melodia from Malpercio. It shows both his CharacterDevelopment and how the two girls aren't so different.
* ArchEnemy: First to Giacomo and, to a lesser extent, Ayme. Then ultimately to Geldoblame.

* BigDamnHeroes: When he comes to help Xelha fight the Sabre Dragon.

* NotInThisForYourRevolution: Kalas initially rebuff's Xelha's invitation to join her in fighting the empire, and tries multiple times to get out of helping. Needless to say, his path ends up aligned with hers, anyway.

* EveryoneCanSeeIt: With Kalas, to the point where even the player can tease them about it.

!!'''Georg'''
Kalas's grandfather, who raised him and Kalas's brother Fee singlehandedly. He was also a skilled engineer and built Kalas's winglet. Died at Giacomo's hands two years before the beginning of the game.

* TheEngineer: Extremely talented engineer. He built Kalas's winglet by hand. [[spoiler:In fact, such a talented engineer that he used to be one of Alfard's most respected scientists. He had to fake his death to leave Alfard, and when Geldoblame learned of his location years later, he immediately sent Giacomo and Ayme to Mira to kill him.]]
** In ''Origins'', his younger self is not only a talented engineer, but deep in research on Magna essences.

* ForcedToWatch: [[spoiler: At the end of the game, when he's caught and immobilized by a heart-crushing machina trap, he's forced to watch his best friend and his love interest argue about who will make a heroic sacrifice to free him]].

* ImprobableAge: He's in the Dark Service, and he's only fifteen. Becomes justified later on when you realise [[spoiler:that certain people in the empire knew ''damn well'' who he was.]]

!!'''Ladekahn'''

* TheLancer: Assumes this role when Xehla becomes the leader of the FiveManBand, given their polar opposite personalities and philosophies.

** [[spoiler:Savyna herself is one to Shanath, being nice to her is the only good thing he is ever seen doing]].

* TykeBomb: [[spoiler: Implied to have become this after Sagi kills Shannath, which further implies that the player choosing to finish Shannath off is the cannon version.]]

* DrivenToSuicide: Subverted. Duke Calbren’s revelation of the corrupted nature of her magnus drives her not to kill herself but to fuse with Malpercio. In a way this is actually a FateWorseThanDeath since she will lose not only her life but also her soul as well. She gets better.

* EnemyMine: Her relationship with Kalas is...complicated. She genuinely seems to care for her dear Kalas and never forgives him for rejecting her and shedding his white wings.
* EtherealWhiteDress: Subverted. She’s not dead, she’s BackFromTheDead.

* GenreSavvy: Her plan to release the end Magnus depends on the FiveManBand acting like a FiveManBand.

* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Her confession time Duke Calbren implies she never felt worthy to the duchy of Mira because of her weak constitution.

* TheKingslayer: Emperor slayer actually. It’s also implied she’s at least a coconspirator in the attempted assassination of King Ladekhan.

* TheUsurper: Has Geldoblame assassinated and takes control Alfard. Subverted since it’s only a stepping stone toward her goal of resurrecting Malpercio and promptly abandons the empire for Cor Hydrae.

* YoungAndInCharge: About the same as Mizuti (15) and, thus, younger than the entire cast. She also become the undisputed ruler of alfard empire and, later, the outer dimensional forces of evil.

* BystanderSyndrome: TheEmpire leaves him in this situation with Xelha. Then he apparently takes this stance when [[spoiler:Malperio revives. Fortunately, this is subverted at the end, if only because the witches of Wazn threaten him.]]

* MysteriousWaif: While Xelha plays this role for Kalas and the player, Kalas himself plays this role for Xelha who sets out specifically to find him.
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: Kalas initially rebuff's Xelha's invitation to join her in fighting the empire. Needless to say, his path ends up aligned with hers, anyway.

* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: the yellow blonde to Kalas’ blue brunet and Lyude’s flaming redhead.
* BrickJoke: If you pay attention to her dialogue during the scene in the Mindeer's deck when the party is stranded in an Outer Dimension, [[spoiler:she'll say she and Kalas met in Moonguile Forest. But wait! Didn't you meet her for the first time in Cebalrai...?]] This is actually {{Foreshadowing}}, but most people won't notice, and the ones that do won't think much of it. [[spoiler:But ''Kalas'' sure as hell noticed, and did so immediately.]]

** With Melodia, [[spoiler: as Christ and AntiChrist archetypes with a mysterious connection to Kalas]]. Xehla is the vessel for the ocean, whereas [[spoiler: Melodia is the soul for the empty vessel that is Malpercio]]. As a kicker, Melodia is greedy for sweets whereas Xehla actively resists them.

* ThePollyanna: In diliberate contrast to Kalas' [[TheCynic cynicism]].

* WomenAreWiser: Incredibly mature, especially next to the more volatile Kalas and Lyude. Also, only she and Savyna realize Mizuti is a girl.

He also is the oldest one in the group. In fact, the only one who met and can reliably recall his meeting with the group from ''Origins'', unseen in ''Eternal Wings'' thanks to RetCon. Discounting Savina, who was 5 at the time.

* TagAlongKid: Inverted. Despite being the youngest in the party and rather eccentric, Mizuti packs a punch from the start and only becomes stronger, Mizuti never acts as TheLoad and instead offers solutions in the moments of greatest need right down to magically binding Malpercio and giving Kalas enough to rescue Melodia.

* YouDidntAsk: Mizuti's reason for not telling the party about being a Child of the Earth - the topic never came up. Those paying attention to her dialogue before TheReveal will notice that she actually refers to herself as a Child of the Earth on ''two'' separate occasions, but both times the party doesn't catch it.

[[folder:Other characters]]

* {{Bishonen}}: In the one {{Flashback}} scene where we see his younger self. Arguably in the present time as well.

* {{Bishounen}}: The long hair and the earrings really drive it home.

* {{Bishonen}}: In ''Eternal Wings''.

** With Melodia, [[spoiler: as Christ and AntiChrist archetypes with a mysterious connection to Kalas]]. Xehla is the vessel for the ocean, whereas [[spoiler Melodia is the soul for the empty vessel that is Malpercio]]. As a kicker, Melodia is greedy for sweets whereas Xehla actively resists them.

* EleventhHourSuperpower: Her End Magnus restores the treasures of heaven.

* AlbinosAreFreaks: To the point she loses her albinism after her HeelFaceTurn.

* AndIMustScream: Subverted. Her fusion with Malpercio shows her as seated rather comfortably on smaller version of the throne of Cor Hydrae, waiting patiently to be claimed by the darkness forever.

* ArchEnemy: It’s never made clear whether she even bothers to learn anyone’s name besides [[EnemyMine Kalas]]. Her real Arch-Enemy however is Xelha, the snow queen, whose destiny is to restore the ocean.
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: Her pure white skin and hair suggest both PureIsNotGood and her BackFromTheDead. She wears stained glass windows reminiscent of a church since she is the altar for the resurrection of the evil god. They also look both incredibly and terribly dangerous.
%%* AxCrazy
%%* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:In her backstory.]]

* BatmanGambit: counts on Xelha to rescue her friends and Storm the imperial fortress so she can release the end Magnus.
* BettyAndVeronica: A messy, partially non romantic example. She is the veronica to Xehla’s Betty for dear Kalas’ Archie. The battle is more for his soul than his heart.

%%* BlatantLies: Everything she says to Geldoblame.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: To an inscrutable extent; although Melodia is very much in charge of herself, the dead gods also speak through her.
* BreakTheHaughty: The most arrogant character and the one who falls the hardest.
* BrightIsNotGood: Duh. Probably the brightest and evilest human.
* BrokenBird: Her ultimate fate.

* TheChessmaster: She manipulates just about every other character for most of the story.
* ClassicVillain: Wrath. Full stop. She might have shades of pride and ambition, but her ultimate goal is death and destruction of the world.

* CryForTheDevil: InUniverse after her purification she expresses pity for Malpercio’s cursed existence.
* DamselInDistress: Her rescue ultimately defeats Malpercio.

* DarkMessiah: Subverted. Melodia has all the necessary qualifications of this trope but no apparent interest in it. Instead, Krumly and his followers summon her to earth by invoking this trope. It ends about as well as you might expect.
* DealWithTheDevil: Is on both sides of the equation. [[spoiler: She offers Kalas Malpercio's power in exchange for delievering the End Magnus to her. Conversely, she ''herself'' owes her life to Malpercio using her as a puppet.]]

* DevourTheDragon: InvertedTrope. She willingly fuses Malpercio to complete his resurrection.

* TheChick: She shakes up Sagi and Guillo's in-game two-man band dynamic and also serves as their emotional center.

%%* TheChick

* DualWielding: Daggers.
%%* TheEvilGenius

%%* DotingGrandparent: To Melodia. [[spoiler:Might not be her true grandpa, though.]]

A [[DarkSkinnedRedhead dark-skinned pinkhead]] who works under Giacomo with Folon. Ayme was there when Giacomo killed Georg, so Kalas recognizes her on sight once they cross paths with her in Diadem, where she is assisting in the seige of Elnath Castle. After she shoots King Ladekahn twice, Lyude defects and Kalas and Gibari jump in to fight her. She promptly brings in an Iron Beetle V mech and pilots it to try and kill Kalas and his group. After being defeated, she leaves. Ayme would later appear to snatch the Le End Magnus with the help of a mind-controlled Lyude. After that, all of her apperances are in the company of Giacomo and/or Folon. She fights with special gauntlets that also serve as guns, and gets around with jet boots.

* BerserkButton: [[spoiler: Hurt Sagi's mother]] and Sagi will kick your ass.

* MeaningfulName: Kalas means ''Raven'' (''karasu'') in Japanese. Ostensibly named in this manner because [[spoiler:Geldoblame thought he was a failed result of Georg's experiments in creating the [[ArtificialHuman Divine Child,]] and that he was an omen of things to come. How right he was.]]

Lady Melodia, as she is called, is the granddaughter of Duke Calbren, ruler of Mira; thus she is the heir to the duchy. Melodia's parents died when she was young because of a plague that struck Mira, and that same plague almost took her own life as well. Because of this, it is somewhat implied that she is [[IllGirl rather frail, physically.]] However, Melodia is seen to be constantly smiling a gentle smile, calmly placating arguing people and inspiring admiration in all of Mira. She is also stated to be a close friend of [[BigBad Geldoblame's]], which warrants such things as an escort headed by the general of Alfard and such. Melodia's shown to be emphatic towards spirits, able to sense their feelings even before they manifest them on the physical plane, and just as well as being able to placate them. She helps the group sneak into Alfard for the final End Magnus.

* IllGirl: Part of the reason she was driven to seek power.

%%* ConvenientComa: [[spoiler:See IllGirl.]]

* IllGirl: [[spoiler: After getting her wings ripped out, she becomes very sick and lapses into a coma. Sagi's sidequest involves tracking down an ancient herb to strengthen her heart.]]

* YouDidntAsk: Mizuti's reason for not telling the party about being a Child of the Earth - the topic never came up.

* NiceHat: It resembles an old centurion's helmet.

* NiceHat: A truly magnificent forrest green top hat.

* NiceHat: It's a meme among the fandom, nicknamed the "Baelhat."

* NiceHat: You were expecting otherwise?
