9->Voiced by: Akane Sakai (JP)
10
11An enigmatic strategist who was imprisoned following the Lordlake Rebellion.
12----
13* BunnyEarsLawyer: She has a nigh-incomprehensible sense of humor, which includes giving an over the top name that's a sentence on its own to your castle when you first get it.
14* ButNowIMustGo: Disappears at the end of the game. A conversation with the dying Sialeeds remarks that the Prince now no longer has any need of her. Quite possibly the reason why she leaves Cius, but lets Lelei comes with her.
15* TheChessmaster: One of the series's premier examples.
16* GiverOfLameNames: Nobody likes the overly long pseudo-poetic names she suggests for things like the army or the castle.
17* HeelFaceTurn: 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.
18* HideYourLesbians: The true nature of her relationship with Lelei is left uncertain, though the game suggests they may secretly be an item. Or at least, intimate. On the night before final battle, Lelei asks to stay in her room [[LeaveTheTwoLoveBirdsAlone after Cius and the others are gone.]] Lucretia complies as the screen fades to black amidst a scene change.
19* LipstickLesbian: Downplayed. Lucretia is implied to be bissexual and is very girlish, compared to her implied crushes: Lelei and Cathari. And yet she clearly wears the pants in the relationship.
20* TheMole: 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.
21* OddNameOut: She's one of the few Suikoden strategists who are not of the Silverberg lineage, the others being Apple and Shu (from ''Suikoden I & II'' respectively), who both studied military strategy under Mathiu.
22* RedHerring: When Mascal Godwin learns that the Prince recruited her, he comments that Lucretia is a cunning woman who [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder backstabs anyone she works with]] for self-interests. He reaffirms this after she leaves Rainwall, and claims that the Prince will be the next.
23** At Agate Prison, Lucretia herself admits that she could betray the Prince if she felt that he was wrong.
24** Despite that, she never betrays the Liberation Army.
25* RescueArc: The Prince must bust her out of prison before she can be recruited.
26* ShootTheDog: She convinced Arshtat to take up the Sun Rune to prevent it from being stolen.
27* ShoutOut: Her feather fan and overall look seems to be a fond nod to legendary strategist, [[Literature/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms Zhuge Liang]]. Not to mention her tactics.
28%%* StrangeSyntaxSpeaker
29* TheStrategist: The games makes it firmly clear that she's one of the absolute best in the whole series, and ''shows'' it in the actual battles she orchestrates, with planning bordering on precognition, just like the person she's based on.
30* ThousandYardStare: Her portrait expression exhibits this when she is dishing out her strategic advice.

33!!Agate Prison
34[[folder:Lelei]]

37->Voiced by: Saki Nakajima (JP); Creator/StephanieSheh (EN)
38
39One of the guards assigned to watch Lucretia's cell. In reality, she and her partner, Cius, have befriended Lucretia and are protecting her from assassins. Lucretia later trains her as a strategist.
40----
41* AmbiguouslyLesbian: The game drops every possible hint short of confirming that she's in love with Lucretia. If you have Oboro investigate her, two of his reports even imply that they might actually be romantically involved.
42-->'''Report #2''': "She was a guard at Agate Prison, where she was in charge of Lucretia's cell. It's said she fell hard for - I mean, became deeply concerned for Lucretia's safety."
43-->'''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, [[TheCasanova that Lucretia."]]
44* BackToBackBadasses: With Cius during their unite attack.
45* BodyguardCrush: She takes it upon herself to guard Lucretia, because of her feelings for her and will automatically join the Prince's army when Lucretia does.
46* BoyishShortHair: She keeps hers neatly cropped in military fashion.
47* ButchLesbian[=/=]LipstickLesbian: She has traits of both. Either way, Lucretia clearly wears the pants in the relationship.
48* CombinationAttack: ''Lockdown'', performed with Cius.
49* HideYourLesbians: Lelei's devotion to Lucretia and [[LuminescentBlush her mannerism]] around her heavily suggests she's in love with her, which may or may not be reciprocal.
50** She'll immediately resign from her post at Agate Prison to join the Prince's army, [[SubordinateExcuse so she can remain at Lucretia's side.]] While she swears to serve the Prince faithfully, she states that her loyalty lies with Lucretia.
51** On the night before the final battle, Lucretia gives Cius and Lelei the night off after going over their strategy. However, Lelei asks if she can stay a moment longer, after the others have left the room. Lucretia honors her request.
52** During the game's ending, it's said that she and Lucretia ditched Cius and left Sol Falena together. Though Lelei eventually returns to the Capitol and becomes Queen Lymsleia's chief strategist.
53* LimaSyndrome: According to one of Oboro's reports, she fell hard for Lucretia while guarding her cell.
54* NumberTwo: She acts as Lucretia's substitute during the Lelcar siege.
55* PlatonicLifePartners: With Cius. They get along well, but Lelei is only interested in women.
56* RightHandHottie: Serves as Lucretia's adjutant.
57* RoyalRapier: The weapon used by the guard detail at Agate Prison.
58* StatuesqueStunner: However, she finds her height embarrassing and tends to stoop. This gets played for laughs in one of the bath scenes.
59* TheStrategist: Lucretia has been teaching her military strategy, and she serves as the Prince's military advisor when her mistress isn't around.
60* TookALevelInBadass: In the epilogue, she disappears with Lucretia, but reemerges some time later as a genius strategist.
61* UndyingLoyalty: To Lucretia.
62[[/folder]]

64[[folder:Cius]]
65[[quoteright:255:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/suikodenv_cius.jpg]]
66 [[caption-width-right:255:Chikai Star]]
67->Voiced by: Takashi Akiyama (JP)
68
69One of the guards assigned to watch Lucretia's cell. In reality, he and his partner, Lelei, have befriended Lucretia and are protecting her from assassins.
70----
71* BackToBackBadasses: With Lelei in their unite attack.
72* BeingPersonalIsntProfessional: His partnership with Lucretia and Leilei is [[StrictlyProfessionalRelationship exactly that]], which he explains to Roog during their bathouse skit. Cius also submits a formal letter of complaint to the Prince's inbox, noting some of the male officers have been fraternizing with the females and requests that the Prince [[NoHuggingNoKissing put a stop to it.]]
73* TheChampion: To Lucretia.
74* CombinationAttack: ''Lockdown'', peformed with Lelei.
75* DaChief: Becomes this in the epilogue.
76* TheFettered: He's an honorable sort who values duty above all else.
77* LimaSyndrome: Downplayed when compared to Lelei, but Lucretia did win him over.
78* MilitaryBrat: Hails from a long line of Doraat military men.
79* MistakenForRomance: If you do the bath house skit between Roog, Cius, Mathias, and Isato, Roog [[BirdsOfAFeather tries to bond]] with the other guys over their respective crushes[[note]] Roog nurses an unrequited crush on Miakis, Cius (Lucretia), Mathias (Isabel), and Isato (Haswar)[[/note]]. Except each of them tells him they have [[StrictlyProfessionalRelationship no such feelings]] toward their female partners; leaving Roog as the only one who does!
80* NewMeat: He was a newly appointed prison guard and is seemingly the most inexperienced member of Lucretia's group.
81* OutOfFocus: Compared to Lelei, he gets very little attention and[=/=]development. 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.
82* PlatonicLifePartners: His relationship with Lelei is close, but completely non-sexual. After all, they both have an interest in the same woman.
83* RoyalRapier: The weapon issued to all guards at Agate Prison.
84* RulesLawyer: Annoyed by the flaunting of the rules and discipline, stressing that an army needs to be serious and firm.
85* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: He'll break rules for this reason only.
86* StrictlyProfessionalRelationship: Despite initial impressions, Cius chooses to follow Lucretia strictly out of his sense of duty.
87* UndyingLoyalty: To Lucretia.
88* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Continuing a running gag in the series, he's a bit scared of ghosts.

95A mapmaker who was imprisoned by the Godwins early in the civil war.
96----
97* CuriousAsAMonkey: He dreams of mapping Falena's entire underground water vein.
98* FantasyWorldMap: His speciality. Once recruited, it is possible to view the entire world map.
99* MiscarriageOfJustice: He was imprisoned at Agate by the Godwins on the grounds that maps are war secrets.
100* ScarilyCompetentTracker
101* SuperSenses: He has an uncanny sense of direction, even managing to negotiate hidden elf pathways through Lunas, which is supposed to be ''impossible'' for humans. He can get you into Lunas early this way, and his Escape Route ability allows you to always run away from battles.
102

106[[folder:Zweig]]

109->Voiced by: Goblin (JP); Creator/TaliesinJaffe (EN)
110
111An archaeologist studying the Sindar.
112----
113* AdventurerArchaeologist: Like Lorelai and Killey, he represents yet another party fascinated by Sindar Ruins.
114* BadassBookworm: One of the reasons Lucretia sought him out.
115* CombinationAttack: ''Sindar Surge'', with Lorelai and Killey.
116* MadScientistLaboratory: He had a secret laboratory somewhere in Falena where he kept all of his research materials on the Sindar, but denied its existence to Lorelai constantly.
117* NerdsAreSexy: A number of NPC's think so, and the bath scene shows he's got a fair amount of definition for a bookworm.
118* OlderThanTheyLook: He looks around his late twenties, but he's almost forty.
119* TheProfessor: He is arguably more knowledgeable than Lorelei and Killey, and both the Godwins and Lucretia vying for his expert advice on the mysteries of the Ceras Lake ruins.
120* TheRival: With Lorelai when it comes to Sindar ruin hunting.
121%%* ScarfOfAsskicking
122* 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.
123[[/folder]]
124
125[[folder:Cathari]]
126[[quoteright:345:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/suikodenv_cathari.jpg]]

129
130A sniper who has come to Falena to find Lucretia.
131----
132* BadassCape: She wears a poncho similar to Clive's, from ''VideoGame/SuikodenII''.
133* TheGunslinger: Cathari is a member of the Howling Voice Guild of assassins and wields their trademark long barreled sniper rifle.
134* 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 ''even more'' questions!
135* CombinationAttack: ''Conceit'', performed with Isabel and Zerase.
136* GlassCannon: Cathari boasts one of the highest agility and attack stats in the game and can take down many high-level non-boss enemies with a single shot if she's equipped with a Killer Rune. But her physical and magic defense stats are both abysmal.
137* InTheHood: Although she doesn't put it over her head.
138* KilledOffForReal: If the unit she is in during a War Battle is defeated, there is a chance she will die.
139* 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 why Lucretia didn't reported back to Harmonia, after her release from prison.
140* MysteriousPast: Whatever Lucretia knows about Cathari's past, she isn't talking.
141* OldFlameFizzle: While her past is left unrevealed, part of it apparently involved a history with Lucretia. When the two of them meet, Cathari acts as though she's been scorned:
142-->'''Lucretia''': "Why the cold shoulder, after all this time, Cathari?"
143-->'''Cathari''': ''(coldly)'' "What did you expect? Hugs and kisses?"
144-->'''Lucretia''': ''(unfazed)'' "I'm fine, thanks."
145* ProfessionalKiller: She's an assassin.
146* RuleOfCool: The outfit, the gun, the mysteriousness, etc.
147* ShoutOutThemeNaming: Her guns have GratuitousGerman names for: Robin Wood, Cinderella and Snow White.
148* SniperRifle: Her weapon. Incidently, one of the few gun users in the Suikoden universe.
149* TheStoic: She rarely conveys any emotion, aside from a brief moment of ire towards Lucretia.
150* SuperSpeed: Like Stallion and Cedric before her, she's the one who gives you the ability to run like the wind across the world map.

153!Oboro Detective Agency
154[[folder:Oboro]]
155[[quoteright:222:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/suikodenv_oboro.jpg]]
156 [[caption-width-right:222:Chiyu Star]]
157The eccentric leader of the Oboro detective agency.
158----
159* AintTooProudToBeg: Much to Raven's fury, as he can't tell whether or not he's being serious.
160* AtonementDetective: 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.
161* BatmanGambit: His role in the Battle of Doraat: He spreads rumors that the Godwins will torch the town as they did to Lelcar. Shigure and Sagiri set small fires to make it scare the citizens and they'll support the Prince. It works.
162* ButNowIMustGo: After the war, he leaves the agency and departs to Nagarea to "settle things once and for all."
163* CoolBoat: Oboro's office is actually a ship that sails up and down the Feitas river.
164* CovertPervert: Some of his observations are... questionable.
165* CutenessProximity: He trains mice to help him tail people. He has several mice working for him, but he never explains just how he trains them.
166* DarkAndTroubledPast: 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.
167* DefusingTheTykebomb: Has been working on this for Shigure and Sagiri.
168* GuideDangIt: Recruiting him can be tricky; you have to make the 'correct' choices while 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.
169* InformationDesk: His specialty. Like Richmond before him, he can be recruited (for a small fee) to find out the whereabouts of as yet recruited characters, although a certain amount of FigureItOutYourself is also required.
170* KnowledgeBroker: As well as letting the hero know the location of potential recruits, he can also investigate current team-mates, offering fun trivia but also useful game information about pairings for unite attacks, for example.
171* MindScrew: His entry in the official strategy guide:
172--> "This is the type of thing you want to be doing. When and if you have the time and the inclination for such things. This is a great idea. Sometimes a pony gets depressed. Get a load of this view and it's the best in the west. All the young dudes carry the news. This is the type of thing you want to be doing. When and if you have the time and inclination."
173%%* MonochromaticEyes
174* MyCard: One of his trademarks is handing these out, hoping that the practice will catch on as well as drive up more business.
175* NonActionGuy: Despite being a former Nether Gate assassin, like Shigure and Sagiri, he cannot be used in battles.
176* PrivateDetective: His skill set certainly made this an easy career move.
177* StatusBuff: In War Battles, his ''Rumors'' skill lowers the enemy unit's attack by 10 points.
178* TeamDad: For the detective agency.
179* ThemeNaming: He and the agency (save Fuyo) are named after Japanese destroyers. His name means "Haziness."
180* TheRival: With Raven, who he refers to as "Crow".
181[[/folder]]
182
183[[folder:Fuyo]]

185 [[caption-width-right:195:Chizen Star]]
186A member of the Oboro detective agency. Unlike her co-workers, Fuyo is a relatively ordinary person.
187----
188* BettingMiniGame: She runs the tile game "Feitas", which can be played to win potch.
189* BobFromAccounting: Oboro's secretary, and a merchant's daughter; she was the agency's very first client, and joined after seeing how incredibly disorganized they were. She now handles the clerical, accounting, and organizational duties of the business.
190* GirlishPigtails: Cascading ringlets that make her look much younger than her real age.
191* HealingHands: Has the ''Rest'' Skill, which slowly restores the unit's HP during War Battles.
192* OddNameOut: Unlike the rest of the agency, she is not after a Japanese destroyer.
193* OjouRinglets: Combined with twintails for added cuteness!
194* OlderThanTheyLook: She looks like a high-schooler. She's actually 32.
195* PuniPlush: And Haswar can't get enough.
196* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: She'd have to, in order to keep a business running and take it over after Oboro departs to Nagarea.
197* TeamMom: For the detective agency.
198[[/folder]]

200[[folder:Shigure]]

204
205A lazy ([[BrilliantButLazy but very skilled]]) member of the Oboro Detective Agency.
206----
207* AFriendInNeed: For all his complaining, you don't want to threaten his family.
208* BackToBackBadasses: With Sagiri in their Unite Attack.
209* BettingMiniGame: He serves as the Intermediate opponent for Linfa's Blind Man's Bluff, and is a savvier and more difficult to read opponent than she is.
210* BrilliantButLazy: Oboro and Fuyo remark that he's very good at what he does, but he's really lazy.
211* CatchPhrase: ''"What a pain..."''
212* CombinationAttack: ''Case Closed'' (with Sagiri) and ''Fugitive Hunt'' (with Sagiri and Raven).
213* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: When not lazy, he's damn good with a knife.
214* [[EmotionlessGirl Emotionless Boy]]: As part of his Nether Gate training, Shigure was taught to never show emotions. Thankfully in the years since the disbandment of Nether Gate he’s become expressive (at least vocally).
215* GratuitousNinja: He's one in all but name.
216* {{Foreshadowing}}: A clever instance: during his first appearance, he comments that he recognizes Lyon, which Sagiri affirms, but it's phrased in such a way that it sounds like he's hitting on her.
217* InvisibleSubtleDifference: Has this with Sagiri, in that Shigure can tell the difference between her perpetual smile and her real smile.
218* InvulnerableAttack: His ''Ambush'' Skill, used during War Battles, allows his unit to attack without losing HP.
219* LightningBruiser: Among the highest speed in the game, and he hits hard.
220* MeaningfulName: Shigure means 'short autumn rainfall' in Japanese, and all of his weapons are named for the weather.
221* OnlySaneMan: How he tends to view himself compared to the rest of the agency.
222* ThemeNaming: He is also named after a Japanese destroyer.

229
230A member of the Oboro Detective Agency. Sagiri has a creepy smile which never seems to fade.
231----
232* TheAtoner: She herself is aware of all of the pain and hurt she caused, and is okay with paying for it with her life.
233* BackToBackBadasses; With Shigure in their Unite Attack.
234* DeathSeeker: 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.
235* CombinationAttack: ''Case Closed'' (with Shigure) and ''Fugitive Hunt'' (with Shigure and Raven).
236* EarnYourHappyEnding: She does. It's revealed that that damn smile begins to fade after the events of the game.
237* GuideDangIt: She won't join at the same time as the other members; she won't ''officially'' get her name on that Tablet unless the prince goes through another recruitment sequence that is easy to miss.
238* InvulnerableAttack: She has the ''Ambush'' Skill (used during War Battles), which allows her unit to attack without losing HP.
239* MeaningfulName: Her name means 'light fog'.
240* MonochromaticEyes: It makes her quite unsettling.
241* NiceGirl: Despite her deep psychological traumas, Sagiri is actually very soft-spoken and friendly.
242* PerpetualSmiler: She is always seen smiling.
243* PleaseKillMeIfItSatisfiesYou: Says this to Nakula.
244* ThePromise: A dark take. 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.
245* PsychoticSmirk: Albeit, unintentionally.
246* ShrinkingViolet: She dislikes violence by nature.
247* StepfordSmiler: Was brainwashed to smile while she killed, and had it so severely drilled into her that she's ''always'' smiling.
248* ThemeNaming: [[RuleOfThree She]] is also named after a Japanese destroyer.

257The leader of the Lindwurm Mercenary Brigade. Also a pervert.
258----
259* AmazonChaser: He's quite interested in Lyon specifically because she is the Prince's [[BodyguardBabes Bodyguard Babe]]. Later, when 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.
260* AllMenArePerverts: He joins the Prince's cause mostly to gain access to the lovely ladies at the HQ.
261* BoisterousBruiser: He's the life of the party.
262* CavalryOfficer: Once recruited, he leads a unit of cavalry for the Prince.
263* TheCasanova: Of the predatory type, he joins the Prince only if Viki, Faylen or Norma are present in the active party. He is particularly taken with [[LustObject Lyon]]. She's not happy to say the least.
264* ColonelBadass: Runs a group of about 5,000 mercs.
265* FieryRedhead: Although his in-game depiction and portrait have rather pink-ish hair, he's depicted in official art as a redhead.
266* HopelessSuitor: He never had a chance with Lyon. Even if she weren't already devoted to the Prince, his rough mannered flirting turns her off.
267* LovableRogue: He skims the line between mercenary and actual bandit.
268* PrivateMilitaryContractors: He is a leader of a unit within the Lindwurm Mercenary Brigade.
269* PunchClockHero: Slightly more hero than clock, he looks forward to peace even though it means less work for him.
270* RedOniBlueOni: He's the ''definite'' red to Mueller's blue because of his boisterous nature and regular flirting.
271[[/folder]]

279----
280* CavalryOfficer: Once recruited, he leads a unit of cavalry.
281* TheGiant: He's unbelievably tall, with a towering columnular frame.
282* MarriedToTheJob: He has no life outside of his mercenary unit.
283* NumberTwo: He's Wilhelm's adjutant.
284* PetTheDog: While not a villain, Mueller is less than pleasant to Richard, who has unwavering loyalty to him. But when Richard was drugged during the Sacred Games and collapse, Mueller ''immediately'' rushed to Richard’s side to check on him. Something that Mueller does NOT like being reminded about.
285* PrivateMilitaryContractors: He is 2nd in command of a unit within the Lindwurm Mercenary Brigade.
286* PunchClockHero: Even more so than Wilhelm. He'll tell you to your face they'll back out if they're not paid.
287* RedOniBlueOni: He's the blue to Wilhelm's red, being stoic and business focused.
288* SergeantRock: He stands for no nonsense within the ranks, and uses an ''iron rod'' to discipline his troops. He's still well respected.
289* TheStoic: His image is always stoic and he never responds to emotions.

296->Voiced by: Creator/AiOrikasa (JP); Creator/MonaMarshall (EN)
297
298Mueller's airheaded pupil / adopted son. He is also one of the best swordsmen in the world.
299----
300* AbusiveParents: Abused from a young age, he was saved when Mueller killed his tyrannical father.
301* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's so laid-back and easygoing, no one would know he's a seriously ''amazing'' fighter.
302* CombinationAttack: ''Sword Sage'' (with Hazuki) and ''Pretty Boy'' (with Roy and Nick).
303* GladiatorGames: He took part in the Sacred Games after Mueller joked he should try, but lost after being drugged by a piece of candy a small child in the audience gave him.
304* HeroWorshipper: Mueller can do no wrong in his eyes. It is complete and utter idolization.
305* IOweYouMyLife: He is utterly indebted to Mueller and follows him wherever he goes.
306* LightningBruiser: He's swift, fairly strong, and wields his sword effortlessly, as seen in the battles.
307* MasterSwordsman: Amongst the best, if not ''the'' best in the game.
308* NiceGuy: Every line of dialogue is either encouragement to the Prince, or praise of Mueller.
309* PlotArmor: Downplayed. Richard cannot die during War Battles, but if you allow him to duel Raging Childerich and lose, he will be killed.
310* PrettyBoy: He's so good looking that his combo attack with Nick is ''called'' "Pretty Boy".
311* PrivateMilitaryContractors: He's a swordsman of the Lindwurm Mercenary Brigade.
312* PunchClockHero: As with Mueller above, naturally, although it is more a case of SubordinateExcuse than regular pay.
313* RedBaron: He goes by the name of "Blademaster", and he's worthy of it.
314* 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.
315* UndyingLoyalty: He will follow Mueller to any battle, and any battlefield, anywhere in the world.
316* WellDoneSonGuy: Everything he does is for the approval of his adopted father Mueller, as opposed to his [[AbusiveParents abusive father]], of course.

324
325An eccentric inventor living in Estrise.
326----

328* AnachronismStew: His contribution to the Prince's army is inventing an ''elevator''.
329* ClockPunk: His speciality is clockwork mechanica.
330* TheEngineer: If it runs with a gear, he's your dude.
331* GadgeteerGenius: As an inventor, his passion in life is gears and levers.

333* MagnumOpus: The Revolving Bridge connecting the Barows territory in Rainwall is his in-universe masterpiece.
334%%%* MrFixIt:
335* ScaryShinyGlasses: His appearance is a little disturbing, especially his creepy pinwheel glasses.
336* ShoutOut: He is named after Charles Babbage, a 19th century British mathematician, philosopher, mechanical engineer, and proto-computer scientist who originated the idea of a programmable computer.
337* SiegeEngines: During War Battles, his unit uses a catapult.
338* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: The only character with technical knowhow, and has a pair of really thick coke-bottles.
339* SpectacularSpinning: He loves gears because of this.

347Babbage's beleaguered assistant.
348----
349* AnachronismStew: His weapon is quite advanced for the time period.
350* TheApprentice: He is Babbage's eager assistant.
351* CombinationAttack: ''Shoot and Smash'', with Lu.
352* DemotedToExtra: Complains that Lu is stealing the post of Babbage's apprentice away from him.
353* HyperCompetentSidekick: He needs to be multi-talented to keep his AbsentMindedProfessor on task and in good health in addition to assisting with his projects.
354* ImprobableWeaponUser: In Suikoden's medieval setting, he wields a mechanical arm blasted from a barrel in combat.
355* NiceGuy: He's sweet, kind and loyal.
356* SiegeEngines: Like the Professor, Sorensen can use a catapult during War Battles.
357* UndyingLoyalty: He respects Babbage from the bottom of his heart, and has near unlimited patience with his unusual teacher.
358* WideEyedIdealist: Bless him, he thinks the best in everyone even when his employer has him doing chores in instead of actually teaching him stuff. His fellow apprentices pity his delusion.
359* YouthfulFreckles: Although his facial portrait makes him look a lot different.

366
367Babbage's other, much more eccentric, assistant.
368----
369* TheApprentice: She is Babbage's other assistant, but has no real technical knowledge or even a formal apprenticeship. She just likes seeing his inventions in action.
370* AutomaticCrossbows: She wields a quad crossbow in combat. Which stylistically resembles a ''Tommy gun''.
371* CloudCuckoolander: Among other things, she thinks Jeane became beautiful by "blasting the ugly" with her magic.
372* CombinationAttack: ''Shoot and Smash'' (with Sorensen) and ''Teen Rebellion'' (with Shoon and Faylen).
373* CutenessProximity: Gushes over the beautiful and "kewl" mechanical horse in the Revolving Bridge. Until it tries to attack her.
374* TheDitz: Oh God yes. She manages to trash Babbage's office and lose an ultra rare gear just "looking around".
375* DumbIsGood: Never anything but nice. And dim as a smoldering ember.
376* GenkiGirl: Those around her tend to find her indefatigable pep slightly exhausting.
377* GogglesDoNothing: She doesn't even wear them.
378* RainOfArrows: During wars, she has the ''Barrage'' Skill.
379* SexyJester: Her outfit has a definite clownish feel, complete with over-large buttons and diamond patterned leggings.
380* TheTrickster: Like Noah before her, she wields the Mischief Rune.
381* ValleyGirl: Her vibe, complete with incessant amounts of "kewl!!" (cool!).
382* VerbalTic: "Keeeewl!" She also uses a ''lot'' of sound effects in her speech.

388 [[caption-width-right:350:Chizoku Star]]
389->Voiced by: Creator/JunkoMinagawa (JP); Deborah Sale Butler (EN)
390
391A bandit with an uncanny resemblance to the Prince.
392----
393* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Quickly develops a crush on Lyon, while completely failing to notice that Faylen has a crush on ''him''.
394* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: When challenging the Prince, he proclaims that he'll take his place if he wins. 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.
395* 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.
396* 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 Childerich, putting him on par with the best fighters in the Prince's force.
397* CombinationAttack: ''Perfect Likeness'' (with the Prince) and ''Pretty Boy'' (with Richard and Nick).
398* 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.
399* DontYouDarePityMe: Lyon's speech about blaming others due to his hard childhood. It gets him all fired up.
400* DuelBoss: And he looks exactly like the Prince. It's weird.
401* EvilTwin: The only one who can instantly recognizes him as a fake is Lyon.
402* 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. And he still gets the last laugh, as the Dragon Cavalry arrive when he breathes his last.
403* HopelessSuitor: Towards Lyon, since she have eyes only for the Prince.
404* 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.
405* InvulnerableAttack: Just like the real Prince, Roy can use the ''Charge'' Skill during War Battles.
406* ItAmusedMe: Claims this as his motivation for impersonating the Prince. Lyon calls him on it.
407* KilledOffForReal: If 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.
408* 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? Alenia bought it hook, line, and sinker.
409* MagikarpPower: He's the only one, aside from the prince, who can equip and use the skill "[[InfinityPlusOneSword Royal Paradise.]]"
410* 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]].
411* TheRival: Considers the prince this, especially about Lyon.
412* YellowEyesOfSneakiness: He has these when you first meet him, probably for the player to tell the difference between him and the Prince. He's not evil at all, but he is a master of deception.

419
420A member of Roy's gang and Faylon's sister. She has a crush on Roy.
421----
422* ClingyJealousGirl: Doesn't like anyone muscling in on Roy.
423* CombinationAttack: ''Brotherly Love'' (with Faylon), ''Pretty Girl'' (with Viki and Norma) and ''Teen Rebellion'' (with Shoon and Lu).
424* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Dark reddish-purple hair and eyes.
425* FastballSpecial: Throws a boomerang, although she doesn't have the Long Attack row like Sialeeds or Sharminsta.
426* KilledOffForReal: 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.
427* PaperThinDisguise: She was ''supposed'' to disguise herself as Lyon for the plot, but that fell through when Roy laughed at her disguise.
428* StreetUrchin: Just like Roy.
429* UnluckyChildhoodFriend: If Roy dies, then who is the last girl he sees as he dies? ''Lyon''.
430* VictoriousChildhoodFriend: If she and Roy both survive.

438
439A member of Roy's gang and Faylen's brother. He's the most even-tempered of the three.
440----
441* CombinationAttack: ''Brotherly Love'', with Faylen.
442* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Same as his sister.
443* FastballSpecial: His unite attack with Faylen consists of him throwing his sister onto the enemy.
444* GrievousHarmWithABody: As seen in his unite attack with his sister, which sees him hurl Faylen at the enemies.
445* HeadPet: There's a bird on his head.
446* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Non-romantic, brother-sister version.
447* KilledOffForReal: See above with his sister.
448* PaperThinDisguise: Was supposed to masquerade as Georg Prime, but ripped his costume while trying it on.
449* PowerFist: He wields a huge metal glove in combat named Clobberific.
450* StoutStrength: He can pick up and throw Faylen in a FastballSpecial.

457 [[caption-width-right:339:Chii Star]]
458->Voiced by: Saki Nakajima (JP)
459
460A member of the Maximillian Knights. Isabel is obsessed with spreading justice to the world.
461----
462* ActionGirl: A stern and steadfast one, one of the best examples in the series.
463* BreastPlate: Which more than one person comments upon.
464* CombinationAttack: ''Maximillian'' (with Mathias) and ''Conceit'' (with Cathari and Zerase).
465* CoolSword : Sort of, it's more of a big retractable... lance?
466* TheCape: She's incredibly just and will do whatever possible to do what is right.
467* ContinuityNod: She and Mathias are ''Suikoden 5's'' take on the classic Maximillian and Sancho pairing from ''Suikoden 1''.
468* 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.
469* {{Determinator}}: She gets where she's going through sheer willpower. Everything else is secondary.
470* FieryRedhead: Energetic and bright fire-engine red hair. Check.
471* 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.
472* FourStarBadass: For the Maximillian Knights and subsequently, the prince.
473* HeroicSpirit: as with the below trope, par for the course for anyone associated with the Maximillian Knights
474* HotBlooded: Her driving force in life is to vanquish evil and she's very passionate about it.
475* KnightInShiningArmor: She believes in the ideals of chivalry.
476* LeotardOfPower: Funnily enough, this is actually addressed, with her claiming that it aids her movement.
477* PlotArmor: Inverted. If the unit she is in during a War Battle is defeated, there's a chance she will die.
478* PrinciplesZealot: Her absolute ''obsession'' with stamping out all evil is PlayedForLaughs.

483 [[caption-width-right:350:Chiei Star]]
484->Voiced by: Daisuke Kita (JP)
485
486A member of the Maximillian Knights and Isabel's bodyguard.
487----
488* TheCape: Like Isabel, he is incredibly just and will do whatever possible to do what is right.
489* 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)."
490* ChasteHero: See below trope.
491* CombinationAttack: ''Maximillian'' (with Isabel) and ''Fancy Lad'' (with Rahal and Dinn).
492* {{Determinator}}
493* DevotedToYou: He is ''utterly'' devoted to Isabel.
494* ForGreatJustice: Like the woman he serves, another requirement for being a Maximillian Knight.
495* ICallItVera: As expected, he calls his 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.
496* KnightInShiningArmor: He wears a ''full'' suit of armor and has the classic look of a medieval chivalrous knight.
497* MrFanservice: Although he's particularly oblivious to it.
498* NumberTwo: He is Isabel's loyal adjutant (or some would say, slave).
499* 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.
500* PlotArmor: Inverted. If the unit he is in during a War Battle is defeated, there is a chance he will die.
501* PrinciplesZealot: Like Isabel, his absolute ''obsession'' with stamping out all evil is PlayedForLaughs.
502* 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.
503* TheStoic: Even with corpse disposal, he never raises his voice.
504* 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.
