History Characters / EtrianOdysseyII

Flavio is the Fafnir Knight's childhood friend. He's tends to be more down-to-earth compared to his wackier guildmates, which often means that their antics at to his expense. Nevertheless, he always has the Knight's back. He is a member of the [[ArcherArchetype Survivalist]] Class.

** Both of them are the result of scientific experiments that ended with catastrophic results. Forest Cell was born from the core of the Yggdrasil absorbing way too much pollution from the world, meaning the scientists accomplished their initial goal, but also [[GoneHorriblyRight left quite the mess to be cleared]]. Ur-Child is one of the many experiments of the Overlord (who also was a normal scientist before the apocalypse), and this one [[GoneHorriblyWrong ended up so bad]] because the latter created a monster so strong that it could end the world.

* FlunkyBoss: In ''The Fafnir Knight'', he can summon Killer Satellites in his second form.

* SpinAttack: His Dance skill, where he extends his arms and slashes out with his two FlamingSword [[Flaming Swords]] while spinning wildly.

* AmbiguousDisorder: She has a rather odd way of speaking and is unusually fixated on certain things, while finding it difficult to communicate with people she doesn't know.

Quona is the innkeeper Hanna's adorable young daughter, who is given a name, a sprite and dialogue in ''The Fafnir Knight.'' She's very shy and timid compared to her brash mother, but if you treat her with kindness then she'll eventually warm up to you. After a certain quest you can have her come to the front desk instead of her mother.

* PlayingWithFire: The Salamander is perpetually aflame, constantly exudes fumes, and has a flaming tail. Also, she can spit her [[BreathWeapon Breath/Hellfire Breath]] on the entire party for massive fire damage.

* LimitBreak: In ''The Fafnir Knight'', both members, being adventurers themselves, will invoke their Force Boost at low HP to empower their skills, and perform a [[DesperationAttack Force Break]] at the final turn of the Force Boost. Regardless of whose Force Break it is, the attack will deal a large number of powerful hits to the party before immediately causing the user's defeat.

** Artelinde's whole skillset is simply unavailable for playable War Magi.

* SuperMode: Both Artelinde and Wilhelm will use Force Boosts either when their HP gets low or when their partner dies. Artelinde's Spellblade causes her Blind Laughter and Loose Thread to hit the entire party and afflict their secondary effects regardless of whether the party has status ailments, while Wilhelm's Accelerate causes his abilities to deal multiple hits across the entire party.

* PeekABangs: The red-haired male Landsknecht.

* PeekABangs: The blue-haired male Dark Hunter.

* ChoiceOfTwoWeapons: Swords or a MagicStaff: Their alternate WeaponSpecialization, though they can't use War Edge skills without [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin an edged weapon]]. In the War Magi's character art, they wield staffs with swords attached at the top. This drawback has been bypassed in the remake, allowing them to use War Edge skills with either a Sword or a Staff.
* CombatMedic: One possible build, giving them healing and offensive capability.

* MagicKnight: One possible build, given that they have the capability to buff, debuff, and inflict ailments in addition to dealing damage. Their relatively balanced stats enable this.
* MasterOfNone: Alas, poor War Magus. In ''Heroes of Lagaard'', they can't heal as well as a Medic, their buffs aren't as good as a Troubadour's, and their attacks suffer from having situational effects that nearly verge on UselessUsefulSpell and simply not matching up to Landsknects, Ronin, Dark Hunters, or Gunners at similar levels. That, and the fact that they really ''need'' other members to provide the status ailments required to actually ''use'' their sword skills effectively. At least their Cursecut/Transfer combo is good, and their access to Swords lead to a better healing speed that made them more effective than Medics.
* MightyGlacier: In the remake, they give up Agility growth in favour of all other stats.
* NoSell: Their Barrier skill can do this in the remake. Though it needs to be boosted by Grimoires, it can potentially protect your entire party against ailments, binds and debuffs on the turn it is used. The developers took notice how much this can simplify boss fights, so when the class returned in ''Nexus'' they nerfed the skill to only trigger three times at max.

* TookALevelInBadass: They've improved greatly in ''The Fafnir Knight'', being a lot more versatile with their healing and gaining the ability to revive. However, while they still rely quite a bit on status ailments in order to deal damage, they can inflict ailments themselves without needing their allies' assistance, their War Edge skills now work on targets with any ailments (as opposed to specific ones), and they can still utilize it on a non-ailing target with their Force Boost.

* LastChanceHitPoint: Deadly Resolve in the remake gives the Beast a chance of enduring a mortal hit, leaving them at 1 HP. Vital considering they often take hits for the party.

* KillerGorilla: The new Pet portrait is that of a blue gorilla with scars all over his body.
* MasterOfNone: In the original game their offensive and defensive skills pale in comparison to the specialists. Averted in the remake with the introduction of several new skills that give the Beast an edge in both roles.

* TookALevelInBadass: The remake has vastly improved the Beast's Loyalty ability, now changing its effect to giving a chance to halve the damage the Beast takes, while making its covering abilities conditional or controllable. The Beast now becomes one of the best defensive party members in the game, though its offensive suite is still mediocre or situational.

* GunsAkimbo: In ''The Fafnir Knight'', Der Freischütz does this whenever he uses Mystic Shot, and it is ''awesome'' to watch. And the cherry on top is that his shots momentarily [[shatter the InterfaceScrew screen's glass]].

* DualWielding: Der Freischutz wields two guns, unlike the playable Gunners who only use a single one.

!!Highlander (ハイランダー
)

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChristopherCoreySmith [English]

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/EdenRiegel [English]

-->'''Voiced by:''' Robbie Daymond [Hrothgar, English]

In ''[[UpdatedRerelease The Fafnir Knight]]'' they are called Hrothgar and [[DubNameChange Wulfgar]] respectively.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:He and Wulfgar both survive their run-in with Chimera in the remake's Story Mode with the former helping to slay it, both deciding to help out rookie Guilds now that their goal is complete.]]

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/CindyRobinson [Artelind, English], Creator/ToddHaberkorn [Wilhelm, English]
Guild Esbat consists of the war magus Artelind (アーテリンデ) and the gunner Wilhelm, better known as Der Freischütz (ライシュッツ). The old gunner is known for his cold demeanor and thirst for challenge, yet Artelind is somehow able to keep him in line...

!!Canaan (クァナーン)

-->'''Voiced by:''' Kirk Thornton [English]

* DubNameChange: It was called Briareus in ''Heroes of Lagaard'', and was renamed in ''The Fafnir Knight''. The latter is a BarelyChangedDubName case since it merely added an ''es''.
* MaximumHPReduction: Its Hellish Wail skill is one of the few in the series capable of inflicting a debuff that decreases the party's maximum health.

* GoneHorriblyRight: ''Heroes of Lagaard'' changed the stances into passive skills, meaning that a Ronin could spam their best attacks nonstop from turn 1 without needing to worry about maintaining their stances, and this made them one of the best physical attackers in the game. The remake rectified this mistake while polishing some of the flaws associated with their stances.

* BraggingRightsReward: If a player manages to beat Ur-Devil on Expert difficulty, they are rewarded with Ragnarok, a sword that grants incredible stat buffs. However, since the player had to defeat Ur-Child on Expert just to get it, there’s not really much to use Ragnarok on unless you repeat the quest just for another copy.

* WeCanRuleTogether: Subverted. After his first phase in the original game and in Classic Mode, he becomes greatly impressed by the player guild's strength and ability and offers them immortality by partaking in the Grail of Kings. [[spoiler:It doesn't work because, like everyone else who used it, your party dies and get turned into monsters, subjected to a FateWorseThanDeath like Ardeline's sister.]]

* WeaponBasedCharacterization: [[BladeOnAStick Spears]], signifying that they remain calm under pressure.

* FireIceLightning: Has access to all three elemental types. Each of these hits hard and requires some form of elemental damage mitigation.

** While Der Freischutz's rounds are typical Gunners skills, Joyshot and Shooting Spree/Rapid fire can't be learned by them. In ''The Fafnir Knight'', he even gets two more exclusive skills: Accelerate and Mystic Shot.

* MirrorBoss: Can be invoked by including a War Magus and Gunner in the party.
* SecretAIMoves: While Der Freischutz's rounds are typical Gunners skills, his other moves can't be learned by them. Artelinde's whole skillset is simply unavailable for playable War Magi.
