History Characters / SuikodenVMiscellaneous

* SimpleStaff: He wields a bo-staff named ''Philosofs'' in combat.

* NiceHat / HeadPet: There's a bird on his head.

* BlindingBangs: Fuyo wants him to cut them back, but so far no go. Probably has MonochromaticEyes behind them.

* GlassesGirl: And quite intelligent.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Has purple hair.

* FieryRedhead: Although his in-game depiction and portrait have [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair rather pink-ish hair]], he's depicted in official art as a redhead.

* AdjustingYourGlasses: His victory pose.

* MulticoloredHair: Like some of the Karaya Tribe members, Lucretia's hair is predominately blonde, but it also has a small bang of some other color, in her case green.

* ButNowIMustGo: Disappears at the end of the game. A conversation with the [[spoiler:dying]] Sialeeds remarks that the Prince now no longer has any need of her. [[spoiler: Quite possibly the reason why she leaves Cius, but lets Lelei comes with her]].

* DarkSkinnedBlonde: She has the same look as the Karaya from ''Suikoden 3''. [[spoiler: Turns out this is because she ''is'' Karayan by blood, and went to Harmonia after her home was scorched by the True Fire Rune during the first Fire Bringer War.]]

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: It's revealed shortly after she's recruited that she used to be a Strategist for the Godwins, and betrayed them the moment she felt that serving them wasn't the right thing to do. In fact, the reason Arshtat sent her to the prison in the first place was to prevent the Godwins from executing her.]]

* TheMole: [[spoiler:Implied to have been one for Harmonia. Whether the reason why she hasn't reported in to her superiors since being released is because she's [[BecomingTheMask Become The Mask]] or because she's been distracted by the war is unknown.]]

* ShootTheDog: [[spoiler:She convinced Arshtat to take up the Sun Rune to prevent it from being stolen.]]

* CombinationAttack: ''Lockdown'', peformed with Cius.

* TookALevelInBadass: In the epilogue, [[spoiler: she disappears with Lucretia, but reemerges some time later as a genius strategist.]]

* OutOfFocus: Compared to Lelei, he gets very little attention and[=/=]development. [[spoiler: The epilogue reveals Lucretia and Lelei left him behind when they departed, leaving him temporarily depressed, though he rebounds and eventually comes to lead the Falenan Police Corps]].

* MurderInc: Like Clive of Suikoden 1 & 2 fame, she is a member of the Howling Voice Assassins Guild and trained there from birth. She joins the Prince's army to find out [[spoiler: why Lucretia didn't reported back to Harmonia, after her release from prison]].

* AtonementDetective: [[spoiler: Used to be the head of Nether Gate's Intelligence Division, where he was known as Shinatsu. Following its disbandment, he took Sagiri and Shigure and has tried to give them a normal life.]]
* BatmanGambit: His role in the Battle of Doraat: He spreads rumors that the Godwins will torch the town [[spoiler: as they did to Lelcar. Shigure and Sagiri set small fires]] to make it scare the citizens and they'll support the Prince. [[spoiler:It works.]]
* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler:After the war, he leaves the agency and departs to Nagarea to "settle things once and for all."]]

* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: He worked in intelligence in Nether Gate. Upon their initial disbandment, he took Shigure and Sagiri with him to try and "deprogram" their assassin training.]]
* DefusingTheTykebomb: [[spoiler:Has been working on this for Shigure and Sagiri.]]
* GuideDangIt: Recruiting him can be tricky; you have to make the 'correct' choices while [[spoiler: helping him investigate Norden]]. Do the sequence correctly, and he'll join the first time you ask. For each point you miss/mess up on, however, you have to ask him an extra time, and you can only ask at certain points in gameplay. Wait too long, and they leave the area for good before you can convince him.

* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: She'd have to, in order to keep a business running [[spoiler: and take it over after Oboro departs to Nagarea.]]

* BlindingBangs: Fuyo wants him to cut them back, but so far no go. [[spoiler: Probably has MonochromaticEyes behind them.]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}: A clever instance: during his first appearance, he [[spoiler: comments that he recognizes Lyon, which Sagiri affirms]], but it's phrased in such a way that it sounds like [[spoiler: he's hitting on her]].

* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:Wouldn't mind if Nakula kills her; if he dies in a war battle, she even writes to the Prince wondering why she didn't die instead.]]

* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler: She does. It's revealed that that damn smile begins to fade after the events of the game.]]

* PleaseKillMeIfItSatisfiesYou: [[spoiler:Says this to Nakula.]]
* ThePromise: A dark take. [[spoiler: At the end of the game, Nakula promises he will return to Falena to kill Sagiri after dealing with the Nether Gate forces left in Nagarea. She accepts.]]
* PsychoticSmirk: [[spoiler:Albeit, unintentionally]]

* StepfordSmiler: [[spoiler:Was brainwashed to smile while she killed, and had it so severely drilled into her that she's ''always'' smiling.]]

* AmazonChaser: He's quite interested in Lyon specifically because she is the Prince's [[BodyguardBabes Bodyguard Babe]]. Later, when [[spoiler: she is stabbed in the back during the Queen's Campaign]], he says that he hopes the injury leaves a scar because it will make her more distinctive and add to her amazon-appeal.

* PunchClockHero: Even more so then Wilhelm. He'll tell you to your face they'll back out if they're not paid.

* CutenessProximity: Gushes over the beautiful and "kewl" mechanical horse in the Revolving Bridge. [[spoiler: Until it tries to attack her.]]

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: When challenging the Prince, he proclaims that he'll take his place if he wins. [[spoiler: If he '''does''' win the duel, it leads to a [[NonStandardGameOver Bad End]] where he knocked him into a coma and is ''forced'' to take his place, masquerading as the Prince until his untimely death.]] Even if he loses, this still becomes his job, such as in the New Queen's Campaign where he's given command of the Army.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: He's a bit of a clown, but he is as skilled a warrior as he is an actor (as noted in the Prince's entry, the three-section staff is a ''very'' difficult weapon, yet Roy apparently mastered it in a matter of ''months'' in order to sell his impersonation), and when the chips are down, he is perhaps the ''most'' courageous member of the Prince's army. He's even a better fighter than [[spoiler: Childerich]], putting him on par with the best fighters in the Prince's force.

* EvilTwin: [[spoiler:The only one who can instantly recognizes him as a fake is Lyon.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: In one path (see KilledOffForReal), he knowingly walks into a rigged duel in the Prince's place, ''wins'' the duel, then gets shot full of arrows. [[spoiler: And he still gets the last laugh, as the Dragon Cavalry arrive when he breathes his last.]]

* ItAmusedMe: Claims this as his motivation for [[spoiler: impersonating the Prince]]. Lyon calls him on it.
* KilledOffForReal: If [[spoiler: you choose to defend your base rather than abandon it]]. You receive several warnings about taking this course of action beforehand, because Roy's death locks you out of the reward you get for recruiting all 108 stars]].
* LargeHam: Twice when acting as the prince's doppelganger after joining your army. The first is when he acts as a decoy, which Raja actually approves of since it helps him stand out and draw attention away from the real prince. The second is during a campaign battle, where he throws in some hilarious SesquipedalianLoquaciousness and YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe into the mix. The best part? [[spoiler: Alenia]] bought it hook, line, and sinker.

* PeekABangs: One of his eyes is hidden by his [[spoiler: real]] hair.

* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:While the player can recruit her and Faylon at the same time as Roy, they can also be left behind and recruited later... unless you wait too long, in which case they die during New Armes' assault on Sable. If this occurs, they're buried at your base's cemetery]].
* PaperThinDisguise: [[spoiler:She was ''supposed'' to disguise herself as Lyon for the plot, but that fell through when Roy laughed at her disguise.]]

* UnluckyChildhoodFriend: [[spoiler: If Roy dies, then who is the last girl he sees as he dies? ''Lyon''.]]
* VictoriousChildhoodFriend: [[spoiler:If she and Roy both survive.]]

* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:See above with his sister.]]
* PaperThinDisguise: [[spoiler:Was supposed to masquerade as Georg Prime, but ripped his costume while trying it on.]]

* BiTheWay: She had a husband in the past and was Marscal's mistress, before she was imprisoned at Agate. While there, she met Lelei and is implied to have seduced her. It's also suggested that they may secretly be in a relationship. And there are subtle implications that Lucretia may have been involved with Cathari in the past, as well.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: He's a bit of a clown, but he is as skilled a warrior as he is an actor (as noted in the Prince's entry, the three-section staff is a ''very'' difficult weapon, yet Roy apparently mastered it in a matter of ''months'' in order to sell his impersonation), and when the chips are down, he is perhaps the ''most'' courageous member of the Prince's army.

* SupernaturalGoldEyes: He has these when you first meet him, probably for the player to tell the difference between him and the Prince.

* EyesOfGold: He has these when you first meet him probably for the PLAYER to tell the difference between him and the Prince.

* LesbianCop: She's a former prison guard, who fell for her female prisoner.

* BiTheWay: She had a husband in the past and was Marscal's mistress, before she was imprisoned at Agate. While there, she met Lelei and is implied to have seduced her. It's also suggested that they may secretly be in a relationship. And there are subtle implications that Lucretia may haven been involved with Cathari in the past, as well.

-->'''Report''': ''(on Lucretia)'' "Cius and Lelei were in charge of guarding her at Agate Prison, but she has deeper relationship with Lelei. She's a wicked woman, [[LadyKiller that Lucretia."]]

* KilledOffForReal: If [[spoiler: you choose to defend your base rather than abandon it]]. You receive several warnings about taking this course of action beforehand, [[spoiler: because Roy's death locks you out of the reward you get for recruiting all 108 stars]].

* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:While the player can recruit her and Faylon at the same time as Roy, they can also be left behind and recruited later... unless you wait too long, in which case [[spoiler: they die during New Armes' assault on Sable. If this occurs, they're buried at your base's cemetery]].

* CavalryOfficer: Once recruited.

* PrettyBoy: Just ''look'' at him.

* MrFixIt: Although he doesn't work alone.

* HyperCompetentSidekick: He needs to be!

* WideEyedIdealist: Bless him.

* {{Tricksters}}: Like Noah before her, she wields the Mischief Rune.

** TeethClenchedTeamwork: He appears to just about tolerate Lorelai accompanying him on his quests, but is very flippant with her and only imparts the briefest snippets of knowledge.
* ScarfOfAsskicking

** MrFixIt: Although he doesn't work alone.
** GadgeteerGenius: As an inventor, his passion in life is gears and levers.
* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: He loves gears because of this.

** ImprobableWeaponUser: In Suikoden's medieval setting, he wields a mechanical arm blasted from a barrel in combat.

** ForGreatJustice: Her maxim. She is intent on being worthy of calling herself "The heir to the Maximillian Knights' aspirations." It's deeper than it sounds because she considers what she does to be evil as well, because violence is inherently evil, and hopes to remove more evil than she creates.

** ForGreatJustice: Like the woman he serves, another requirement for being a Maximillian Knight.

* CombatPragmatist: When Urda asks Cathari why she carries such an unwieldy weapon, Cathari admits it has several flaws. It's loud and the muzzle flash gives away her position, and it takes time to reload it. But she quickly adds that she's already found ways to compensate for it, which she refuses to divulge; leaving Urda with ''[[FunnyMoments even more]]'' questions!

!Oboro Detective Agency

* BoisterousBruiser: He's the life of the party.

* FieryRedhead: Although his in-game depiction and portrait have [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair rather pink-ish hair]], he's depicted in official art as a redhead.

* LovableRogue: He skims the line between mercenary and actual bandit.
* PrivateMilitaryContractors: He is a leader of a unit within the Lindwurm Mercenary Brigade.
* PunchClockHero: Slightly more hero than clock, he looks forward to peace even though it means less work for him.
* RedOniBlueOni: He's the ''definite'' red to Mueller's blue because of his boisterous nature and regular flirting.

* MasterSwordsman: Amongst the best, if not ''the'' best in the game.

* PrivateMilitaryContractors: He's a swordsman of the Lindwurm Mercenary Brigade.
* PunchClockHero: As with Mueller above, naturally, although it is more a case of SubordinateExcuse than regular pay.
* TheRedBaron: He goes by the name of "Blademaster", and he's worthy of it.
* TeenGenius: Of the physically prodigal variety. He's ''17'' and one of the best swordsmen in Falena, easily rivaling people like Georg, Kyle, or Belcoot.
* UndyingLoyalty: He will follow Mueller to any battle, and any battlefield, anywhere in the world.

[[spoiler: If he '''does''' win the duel, it leads to a [[NonStandardGameOver Bad End]] where he knocked him into a coma and is ''forced'' to take his place, masquerading as the Prince until his untimely death.]] Even if he loses, this still becomes his job, such as in the New Queen's Campaign where he's given command of the Army.
* {{Bishonen}}: He DOES copy the Prince.
* BoxedCrook: When he is brought back to Sable after he is defeated, he agrees to join the Prince and pose as a body double in exchange for his two comrades being pardoned.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: He's a bit of a clown, but he is as skilled a warrior as he is an actor (as noted in the Prince's entry, the three-section staff is a ''very'' difficult weapon, yet Roy apparently mastered it in a matter of ''months'' in order to sell his impersonation), and when the chips are down, he is perhaps the ''most'' courageous member of the Prince's army.
* CombinationAttack: ''Perfect Likeness'' (with the Prince) and ''Pretty Boy'' (with Richard and Nick).
* CriminalDoppelganger: When first encountered, he's masquerading as the Prince because Euram hired him to smear his name. He agreed to do it because he hated the Prince.
* DontYouDarePityMe: Lyon's speech about blaming others due to his hard childhood. It gets him all fired up.
* DuelBoss: And he looks exactly like the Prince. It's weird.
* EvilTwin: [[spoiler:The only one who can instantly recognizes him as a fake is Lyon.]]
* EyesOfGold: He has these when you first meet him probably for the PLAYER to tell the difference between him and the Prince.
* HeroicSacrifice: In one path (see KilledOffForReal), he knowingly walks into a rigged duel in the Prince's place, ''wins'' the duel, then gets shot full of arrows. [[spoiler: And he still gets the last laugh, as the Dragon Cavalry arrive when he breathes his last.]]
* HopelessSuitor: Towards Lyon, since she have eyes only for the Prince.
* IdenticalStranger: His body type and face are identical to the Prince. Add a wig to give him the right hair color and he can fool almost anyone as a decoy.
* InvulnerableAttack: Just like the real Prince, Roy can use the ''Charge'' Skill during War Battles.
* ItAmusedMe: Claims this as his motivation for [[spoiler: impersonating the Prince]]. Lyon calls him on it.
* KilledOffForReal: If [[spoiler: you choose to defend your base rather than abandon it]]. You receive several warnings about taking this course of action beforehand, [[spoiler: because Roy's death locks you out of the reward you get for recruiting all 108 stars]].
* LargeHam: Twice when acting as the prince's doppelganger after joining your army. The first is when he acts as a decoy, which Raja actually approves of since it helps him stand out and draw attention away from the real prince. The second is during a campaign battle, where he throws in some hilarious SesquipedalianLoquaciousness and YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe into the mix. The best part? [[spoiler: Alenia]] bought it hook, line, and sinker.
* MagikarpPower: He's the only one, aside from the prince, who can equip and use the skill "[[InfinityPlusOneSword Royal Paradise.]]"
* PeekABangs: One of his eyes is hidden by his [[spoiler: real]] hair.
* PlotArmor: Downplayed. He cannot be killed during War Battles, but if you choose to defend the HQ Castle, he will fight Childerich and die, [[HeadsIWinTailsYouLose regardless of who wins the duel]].
* TheRival: Considers the prince this, especially about Lyon.

A member of Roy's gang and Faylon's sister. She has a crush on Roy.

* ClingyJealousGirl: Doesn't like anyone muscling in on Roy.
* CombinationAttack: ''Brotherly Love'' (with Faylon), ''Pretty Girl'' (with Viki and Norma) and ''Teen Rebellion'' (with Shoon and Lu).
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Dark reddish-purple hair and eyes.
* FastballSpecial: Throws a boomerang, although she doesn't have the Long Attack row like Sialeeds or Sharminsta.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:While the player can recruit her and Faylon at the same time as Roy, they can also be left behind and recruited later... unless you wait too long, in which case [[spoiler: they die during New Armes' assault on Sable. If this occurs, they're buried at your base's cemetery]].
* PaperThinDisguise: [[spoiler:She was ''supposed'' to disguise herself as Lyon for the plot, but that fell through when Roy laughed at her disguise.]]
* StreetUrchin: Just like Roy.
* UnluckyChildhoodFriend: [[spoiler: If Roy dies, then who is the last girl he sees as he dies? ''Lyon''.]]

A member of Roy's gang and Faylen's brother. He's the most even-tempered of the three.

* CombinationAttack: ''Brotherly Love'', with Faylen.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Same as his sister.
* FastballSpecial: His unite attack with Faylen consists of him throwing his sister onto the enemy.
* GrievousHarmWithABody: As seen in his unite attack with his sister, which sees him hurl Faylen at the enemies.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Non-romantic, brother-sister version.
* NiceHat / HeadPet: There's a bird on his head.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:See above with his sister.]]

[[quoteright:339:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sv_isabel.png]]
[[caption-width-right:339:Chii Star]]
->Voiced by: Saki Nakajima (JP)

A member of the Maximillian Knights. Isabel is obsessed with spreading justice to the world.

* ActionGirl: A stern and steadfast one, one of the best examples in the series.
* BreastPlate: Which more than one person comments upon.
* CombinationAttack: ''Maximillian'' (with Mathias) and ''Conceit'' (with Cathari and Zerase).
* CoolSword : Sort of, it's more of a big retractable... lance?
* TheCape: She's incredibly just and will do whatever possible to do what is right.
** ForGreatJustice: Her maxim. She is intent on being worthy of calling herself "The heir to the Maximillian Knights' aspirations." It's deeper than it sounds because she considers what she does to be evil as well, because violence is inherently evil, and hopes to remove more evil than she creates.
* ContinuityNod: She and Mathias are ''Suikoden 5's'' take on the classic Maximillian and Sancho pairing from ''Suikoden 1''.
* DeathGlare: As seen in her "conceit" unite attack with Zerase and Cathari, where they stare down the enemy and walk right into them for 1.3x damage.
* {{Determinator}}: She gets where she's going through sheer willpower. Everything else is secondary.
* FieryRedhead: Energetic and bright fire-engine red hair. Check.
* FourStarBadass: For the Maximillian Knights and subsequently, the prince.
* HeroicSpirit: as with the below trope, par for the course for anyone associated with the Maximillian Knights
* HotBlooded: Her driving force in life is to vanquish evil and she's very passionate about it.
* KnightInShiningArmor: She believes in the ideals of chivalry.
* LeotardOfPower: Funnily enough, this is actually addressed, with her claiming that it aids her movement.
* PlotArmor: Inverted. If the unit she is in during a War Battle is defeated, there's a chance she will die.
* PrinciplesZealot: Her absolute ''obsession'' with stamping out all evil is PlayedForLaughs.

[[caption-width-right:350:Chiei Star]]
->Voiced by: Daisuke Kita (JP)

A member of the Maximillian Knights and Isabel's bodyguard.

* TheCape: Like Isabel, he is incredibly just and will do whatever possible to do what is right.
** ForGreatJustice: Like the woman he serves, another requirement for being a Maximillian Knight.
* CatchPhrase: He repeats one line (with minor changes) throughout the game, constantly talking about "finding evil, and then enacting swift and final retribution and depositing their loathsome corpses into (a body of water)."
* ChasteHero: See below trope.
* CombinationAttack: ''Maximillian'' (with Isabel) and ''Fancy Lad'' (with Rahal and Dinn).
* {{Determinator}}
* DevotedToYou: He is ''utterly'' devoted to Isabel.
* ICallItVera: As expected, he calls his [[BladeOnAStick pike]] "Isabel" in honor of his mistress. Additionally, as he comes from the Warrior's Village, the significance of naming it "Isabel" may very well not just be a mark of loyalty to his mistress, but a convention that is reserved almost always for women they ''love.'' Isabel herself also gives hints at this, if only ''just'' barely.
* KnightInShiningArmor: He wears a ''full'' suit of armor and has the classic look of a medieval chivalrous knight.
* MrFanservice: Although he's particularly oblivious to it.
* NumberTwo: He is Isabel's loyal adjutant (or some would say, slave).
* PlatonicLifePartners: Despite his devotion to Isabel, he is not romantically interested in her (or at least, not that he'll admit). His devotion has to do with Isabel as a person, not a woman, and would serve her just as he does currently if she were a man. He and Isato (who takes a similar view to his service to Haswar) clarify this for Dinn in an optional bath scene.
* PlotArmor: Inverted. If the unit he is in during a War Battle is defeated, there is a chance he will die.
* PrinciplesZealot: Like Isabel, his absolute ''obsession'' with stamping out all evil is PlayedForLaughs.
* RunningGag: All the times he claims he would enact swift and final retribution on those who would harm or even insult his lady Isabel, then deposit their loathsome corpses into the nearest body of water.
* TheStoic: Even with corpse disposal, he never raises his voice.
* UndyingLoyalty: He serves Lady Isabel faithfully and devotedly, claiming he would exact swift and final retribution on anyone who dare raise a sword or even insult Lady Isabel. And deposit their loathsome corpses into the nearest body of water, naturally.

* [[PapaWolf Brother Wolf]]: For all his complaining, you don't want to threaten his family.

* PleaseKillMeIfItSatisfiesYou: [[spoiler:Says this to Nakula.]]
