5[[folder:Lords and Other Similar Units]]
6!!Walter
7!!!Class: Lord → Warlord
8
9The youngest sibling in the Askian royal family. Abrasive and immature, his tendency to pick fights causes several problems for the party early on.
10----
11%%* AntiArmor: The glaive.
12%%* AntiCavalry: Again, the glaive.
13%%* BoisterousBruiser
14%%* DumbMuscle
15* LeeroyJenkins: Has a habit of jumping into battle without a plan.
16* MightyGlacier: The slow but strong one compared to his brother, but can sometimes turn into a full-on LightningBruiser if he gets decent luck with his growths.
17* MisidentifiedWeapons: A glaive is normally a type of polearm that's closer to a spear than an axe, but Walter wields one that looks just like any other axe.
18* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Is solely responsible for scaring away 95% of his hired mercenaries within sixty seconds. He spends a majority of the game trying to make up for it.
19* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Often after getting surprised by a sudden entrance.
20* UnstoppableRage: Enters one at the end of Chapter 8, demolishing a bunch of guards chasing after his group with it.
21
22!!Lionel
23!!!Class: Lord → Great Lord
24
25The middle sibling in the Askian role family. His deep-rooted insecurities cause him to frequently butt heads with Walter and ultimately cause their own share of problems.
26----
27* GuileHero: Prefers to think things through rather than jumping into action right away.
28%%* HeroesPreferSwords: And only swords, even after promotion.
29
30!!Zachary
31!!!Class: Rogue → Spellsword
32
33A mysterious thief hired by Terril. He is the only mercenary who doesn't immediately leave after Walter's rant, instead choosing to stick with them for his own personal reasons.
34----
35* CrutchCharacter: His Strength cap of 10 will eventually render him useless in combat situations... at least until the final chapter.
36* EleventhHourSuperpower: Gains the unique Spellsword class for the final chapter only. It's effectively similar to the [[VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar Mage Fighter]] class, and improves his ability to contribute to combat tenfold.
37* Really700YearsOld: He's actually [[spoiler:Romulus, advisor to King Teodros II 700 years ago.]]
38
39!!Ava
40!!!Class: Outlaw → Adventurer
41
42A bandit noted for her unusually attractive appearance in comparison to her fellow brigands. She ends up willingly being taken prisoner, and her ancestry proves to be a driving force for much of her story arc.
43----
44* ReallyRoyaltyReveal: She's the heir to Teodros. She's not happy to hear it, but ultimately sacrifices her own happiness for the sake of her country.
45
46!!Terril
47!!!Class: King Askia
48
49The king of Askia. A noble, if unpopular ruler, he's the one who sends his brothers off to Behanzin in the first place, and his inability to aid the common folk has its own consequences.
50----
51* JackOfAllStats: To a comical degree. His bases and growths are all exactly the same, aside from his HP and Magic which are fairly high and nonexistent, respectively.
52* WeaponSpecialization: Fights exclusively with lances, à la [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheSacredStones Ephraim]].
53
54[[/folder]]
55
56[[folder:Other Playable Characters]]
57
58!!Bradley
59!!!Class: Lance Cavalier → Ruby Knight
60
61A mercenary-knight of Askia. Chivalrous with a flair for the dramatic, he is quick to rush to the aid of an outnumbered Walter and co., and decides to join his group after he apologizes for yelling at them earlier.
62----
63* JavelinThrower: His PRF, Saunion, is a heavier Javelin with extra range.
64* LongRangeFighter: Compared to Shaun, his combat tends to focus on hitting enemies from a distance with his PRF, the Saunion.
65* MightyGlacier: Compared to Shaun, he's slow but hits hard.
66
67!!Shaun
68!!!Class: Sword Cavalier → Sapphire Knight
69
70An ex-bandit who has since become a mercenary. He travels with Bradley and, though never afraid to express his disapproval, is willing to go wherever his companion goes.
71----
72* CloseRangeCombatant: Compared to Bradley, his combat tends to close in on enemies, with him only wielding swords, which are known to rarely have any 1-2 range aside from magic swords, and his PRF, the Quickblade further emphasizes this.
73* FragileSpeedster: His first PRF, the Quickblade, is a weaker Brave Sword, emphasizing this even further.
74* MagicKnight: His Strength is abysmal, so he'll be relying on magic swords like Light Brands or his second PRF, the Quickbrand, for damage.
75
76!!Chase
77!!!Class: Mage → Mage Knight
78
79The leader of a band of mercenaries called the Travelling Mage Quartet. An adventurous young man, he is quick to action and is perfectly willing to attack some bandits in the middle of the night when he reunites with Walter and company.
80----
81* CriticalHit: With his high Skill and his PRF, the 30-crit Sparks, he'll be doing a lot of this.
82
83!!Lydia
84!!!Class: Cleric → Bishop
85
86A healer with the Travelling Mage Quartet. She has many siblings, among them being the bard Dorian and the wyvern riding knight Locritus.
87----
88* StatusEffects: Has exclusive access to the Sleep staff.
89
90!!Yufin
91!!!Class: Monk → Warlock
92
93An overly excitable mage with the Quartet. He's perhaps too enthusiastic about killing "the bad guys," much to the dismay of his comrades.
94----
95* CastFromHitPoints: His PRF, Darklight, deals 10 damage to Yufin after every round of combat.
96* CastingAShadow: Gains Dark magic after promoting.
97%%* LightEmUp
98* SociopathicHero: He only desires to kill all of the bad guys. He's just far too eager to enact his justice on them.
99
100!!Shelby
101!!!Class: Shaman → Summoner
102
103A dark mage with the Quartet. He's an incredibly dour loner who prefers to be left to his own devices, yet often finds himself being dragged along to places by his fellow mages.
104----
105* DifficultButAwesome: While he has no issues surviving combat, actually getting experience out of it will take quite a while due to his poor offenses making his ability to secure kills questionable. Upon promotion however, he becomes even more of a defensive bulwark and gains the ability to heal and summon phantoms, both of which give him easy ways to earn experience without even fighting.
106%%* LonerTurnedFriend: To the rest of the quartet, but he'll never admit it.
107* PaddedSumoGameplay: A stark contrast to the usual RocketTagGameplay of ''The Four Kings'', since the Munio makes him exceptionally tanky at the cost of power and accuracy: his usual gameplay loop is to solo an entire section of the map over the course of the chapter, since he can kill a dozen enemies in five to six rounds before all of them combined can kill him in seven.
108* StoneWall: His defensive stats are among the best in the army, and his PRF, Munio, boosts them by a whopping 10 points each, making him one of your only units that can consistently live more than two or three hits.
109* SummonMagic: Is the only playable Summoner in the game.
110
111!!Max
112!!!Class: Mercenary → Hero
113
114A veteran mercenary and family man living in Askia. After he leaves the job with the royals, he goes after Askia's bandit ring in order to retrieve his daughter from their clutches. The sudden match in objectives with the royal brothers leads to him signing back on to their cause.
115----
116* HappilyMarried: To Alicia, with a full family to show for it.
117%%* HeroesPreferSwords: Duh.
118
119!!Sally
120!!!Class: Pupil → Mage → Sage
121
122A young girl who finds herself kidnapped by Askia's bandit ring. She tags along with the army in order to provide for them just as her father provides for her.
123----
124* GlassCannon: To an extreme. She hits ridiculously hard with her magic attacks, but will often die to a single physical hit even after promotion.
125* MagikarpPower: Being a trainee lets her get many more levels than other units, allowing her stats to peak far more often.
126* TagalongKid: Easily the youngest character in the cast.
127
128!!Marcie
129!!!Class: Pegasus Knight → Falcon Knight
130
131A novice Pegasus Knight of Mansa. When the party stops by the country, she is encouraged to tag along by her mother, general Luceil.
132----
133%%* FragileSpeedster
134* MageKiller: Her Defense is terrible, but thanks to her PRF, the Wardlance, she takes almost no damage from mages.
135* SiblingYinYang: The excitable, magic-slaying, carefree one compared to Patty.
136
137!!Dorian
138!!!Class: Bard
139
140A lazy bard with an unusual music style. He stole a magical harp from a corpse and winds up getting convinced to join the party by his sister Lydia after being fired from yet another job.
141----
142* TheAlcoholic: It helps him compose, supposedly.
143* ArmoredButFrail: In spite of his good Def and Res growths, he has low HP to compensate, meaning that's dead on sight against enemies who can pierce his defenses.
144%%* TheBard
145* RobbingTheDead: He got his harp off of a dead body.
146* StoneWall: His stats are even more lopsided in this direction than Shelby's.
147
148!!Zoe
149!!!Class: Troubadour → Valkyrie
150
151A noble of Teodros. Not exactly fond of the life of a noble, she began working as a wandering mercenary, but ultimately found herself being kidnapped by bandits and rescued by her would-be employers.
152----
153* MagicKnight: Her promotion, Valkyrie, can use both swords and staves.
154
155!!Vin
156!!!Class: Myrmidon → Swordmaster
157
158A loner sellsword who doesn't talk much... at all. He does, however, seem to develop a fondness for Zoe, and has decided to protect her by any means necessary.
159----
160* FragileSpeedster: His PRF weapon, the Main Gauche, emphasizes this even more with its terrible damage and bonuses to Speed and Luck, which both aid in calculating Avoid.
161%%* TheQuietOne: To the point of parody.
162
163!!Cielo
164!!!Class: Nomad → Nomad Trooper
165
166A nomad from the plains of western Behanzin. The party finds him injured in a rockslide, and he agrees to tag along after they stop to defend a nearby village.
167----
168* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Frequently challenges his comrades to shows of honor and skill that he frequently loses.
169* HorseArcher: Being a Nomad, of course.
170* LongRangeFighter: His Skyshot can reach exactly four squares away from him, allowing him to outrange even longbow users.
171* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: A frequent topic in his supports, being outshone by his comrades despite his haughty attitude and insistence on his own honor.
172
173!!Victor
174!!!Class: Fighter → Warrior
175
176A boisterous fighter from Behanzin. He works together with Ron to fend off a tribe of bandits from their home village, ultimately receiving aid in the form of the players.
177----
178* LightningBruiser: He's quite fast, and the high might of Axes should help offset his poor Strength.
179* MythologyGag: He uses the infamous [[VideoGame/FireEmblemThracia776 Vouge]] as his PRF weapon.
180
181!!Ron
182!!!Class: Soldier → Halberdier
183
184A former soldier of Behanzin who often exaggerates how decorated he really was. He fights alongside Victor in the defense of their village before joining up with the main party.
185----
186* ArmorPiercingAttack: The Justice Pike he wields ignores enemy Defense.
187* CrutchCharacter: He starts one level away from promotion with better bases than most of the army, and his join map has an obtainable Knight Crest that your cavaliers probably aren't ready for yet: even the villager who gives it to you outright says it's for Ron. He'll be rock solid for a while, but his mediocre class and personal weapon will cause him to fall off soon after as your other characters overtake him in stats.
188
189!!Locritus
190!!!Class: Wyvern Rider → Wyvern Lord
191
192A soldier of Behanzin. When he finds out his siblings have been travelling with the main party, he decides to abandon his post to make sure they're safe.
193----
194* AntiAir: His Tempest deals effective damage against flying units.
195* GlassCannon: For a wyvern rider, he is extremely frail.
196* RealMenCook: Is shown to be a pretty good chef in his trial map.
197* RegretfulTraitor: Just like many wyvern riders in normal ''Fire Emblem''-fashion to both his nation and his lover.
198* StraightGay: His boyfriend is Ian, one of Rhiner's CoDragons. It ends about as well as you'd expect.
199* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Being a wyvern rider fighting against his nation and lover for what he knows is right, his story is extremely similar to that of Melady from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade''.
200
201!!Colt
202!!!Class: Axe Cavalier → Emerald Knight
203
204A close and loyal knight to King Terril. He works alongside Hoff to help Terril escape the rebellion and reclaim his nation with Lionel.
205----
206* BadassNormal: Compared to other characters that have magical preferred weapons with crazy abilities or properties, Colt's is just a giant axe that he can hit people really hard with.
207%%* FlatCharacter: To the point of parody as a simple knight.
208
209!!Hoff
210!!!Class: General
211
212A close and loyal knight to King Terril. He works alongside Colt to help Terril escape the rebellion and reclaim his nation with Lionel.
213----
214* FlatCharacter: Only slightly less so than Colt.
215* StoneWall: Unusually for a general, he possesses extreme resistance in addition to his sturdy defenses.
216%%* ThoseTwoGuys: With Colt.
217* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: Well, axe. He's got cannons for arms though.
218
219!!Cindy
220!!!Class: Bow Armor → General
221
222A member of the Teodros Archer Corps. When Feran loans the brothers some troops to quell the rebellions, she is among the soldiers granted to Lionel.
223----
224* ShortRangeLongRangeWeapon: Her preferred weapon, the Reflex Bow, can be fired at close range.
225
226!!Regis
227!!!Class: Sage
228
229A drunkard seeking some adventure in his life. While initially leaving with the rest of the hired mercenaries, he quickly changes his mind once he sees that the mission has turned into saving all of Ibril.
230----
231* AimlesslySeekingHappiness: All he wants is to see the world.
232* TheAlcoholic: Almost perpetually drunk.
233* BlatantLies: He tries to join up with Walter by assuring him that he is completely sober. After coming out of a tavern and accidentally admitting to it just beforehand.
234* BlowYouAway: His Maelstrom spell allows him to conjure tornados.
235* DreadfulMusician: Even making himself a magical harp couldn't help him learn how to play music.
236
237!!Wilson
238!!!Class: Archer → Sniper
239
240A strange man living alone on Island Musca. After the Behanzin army turns his home into a military outpost, he joins up with Walter's army to teach his invaders a lesson.
241----
242* GlassCannon: The biggest example of this in the entire cast. Incredible offensive stats, dreadful defensive ones.
243* TheHermit: Lives alone on his ancestors' island.
244
245!!Terry
246!!!Class: Pirate → Berserker
247
248Victor's brother who ran away from home to become a pirate. His crew ends up attacking some Askian vessels in a naval blockade that Lionel is trying to break, and gets strong-armed into helping him out.
249----
250%%* BoardingParty: How his crew is introduced.
251* ButtMonkey: A frequent target of his comrades due to his past work.
252* DumbMuscle: Definitely not the brightest bulb around.
253* WorkOffTheDebt: Forced into this by his brother after blowing his previous loan on his ship.
254
255!!Harriet
256!!!Class: Hero
257
258A Merchant working at Port Pollux that is also known for her arena prowess. After the Askian Rebellion leads to the port being put under martial law, she and her guild join up with Lionel to free their nation from chaos.
259----
260* ActionGirl: Was putting up a nasty fight for the rebels with just her merchant's guild.
261* BrutalHonesty: Has no qualms telling Lionel how annoyed Walter made her during the opening cutscene in her recruitment conversation.
262* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: In her trial map, directed at a group of pirates that stole product from her guild.
263* SoreLoser: While losses are rare for her, the ones she takes to Victor in their support and Ladon in the epilogue are not taken kindly by her.
264
265!!Patty
266!!!Class: Pegasus Knight → Falcon Knight
267
268A Mansan Pegasus Knight captain and the daughter of General Luceil. She is deployed to aid Lionel in his retaking of Askia and meets up with him in Port Pollux.
269----
270* AntiArmor: Her Shieldlance, in addition to its defensive buffs, lets her deal extra damage to armored enemies.
271* BigBrotherInstinct: Sister instinct, but towards Marcie. Her first action after her initial battle is to threaten Lionel over Marcie's safety.
272* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Her preferred weapon, the Shieldlance.
273* SiblingYinYang: The blunt, physically-inclined, hard-working one compared to Marcie.
274* SquareRaceRoundClass: Possesses stats almost akin to a wyvern rider.
275
276!!Candace
277!!!Class: Swordmaster
278
279A curious wanderer that goes wherever the wind takes her. After meeting Walter again, she rejoins the mission to see if it will satisfy her current boredom.
280----
281%%* ConstantlyCurious
282* CriticalHitClass: Naturally as a swordmaster, but she even comes with multiple swords that boost her critical rate even further.
283* ShoutOut: Her starting stats are exactly identical to those of Karla from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade''. Only she joins significantly earlier in the game.
284* StatusBuff: Her Fleuret will boost the damage and attack speed of nearby allies.
285
286!!Jack
287!!!Class: Warrior
288
289A Behanzin warrior that works as King Ladon's right-hand man. He was initially sent to Askia to scout out the royal family, but ends up returning to his nation as it is being overthrown. He helps Ladon elude capture until they are aided by Walter's forces.
290----
291* AlwaysAccurateAttack: His Hurlbat will never miss.
292* StraightGay: Admits to having... more than just romantic feelings for King Ladon, and is perfectly willing to brush them aside until Nicole agrees to set something up between them.
293
294!!Jeremy
295!!!Class: Bishop
296
297An Askian tactician experienced in all kinds of stealth and intel-gathering. After leaving his job with the princes, he goes along with Daltry's rebellion and quickly becomes one of his most trusted aides. Once the rebellion spirals out of control, he quickly turns himself over to Lionel's army in hopes of correcting his mistake.
298----
299* TheAtoner: Even after the war, he dedicates himself to rebuilding Askia's prosperity.
300%%* EvilGenius: As one of Daltry's generals.
301* HeelFaceTurn: When the rebellion takes a turn for the worst, he makes the decision to rejoin Lionel.
302%%* HappilyMarried: To Sarah.
303%%* LightEmUp
304%%* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Sarah's red.
305* SupportPartyMember: He's much more suited to backline healing and support due to his mediocre stats.
306%%* TeleportSpam: With his Rewarp staff.
307
308!!Sarah
309!!!Class: Lady Knight
310
311A savage knight married to Jeremy. When Jeremy gets his offer from Daltry, she goes along with the rebellion and is one of their top enforcers. After Jeremy turns himself over to Lionel, she quickly joins as well to ensure Askia doesn't go down in flames.
312----
313* BloodKnight: Lives for the thrill of the fight.
314%%* HappilyMarried: To Jeremy.
315* HorseArcher: Uses bows as a sidearm.
316* HotBlooded: Slips into demented excitement on occasion in battle.
317* MyRulesAreNotYourRules: In the player's favor oddly enough. When fought as an enemy, The Pursuer will not actually grant her any of the stat boosts that it should.
318%%* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Jeremy's blue.
319* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Even beyond being the only female antagonistic character, she was the only female boss in the entire game before an update came out to include characters from Deposition, a short companion hack featuring the army Daltry used to take over Askia.
320
321!!Alicia
322!!!Class: Sage
323
324A Teodros noble who ran away from her comfortable life in order to marry a rugged mercenary she fell in love with. While a powerful fighter in her day, she has recently retired to housework. Her family ends up being captured by Askian rebels and gets rescued by her husband.
325----
326%%* ArrangedMarriage: Was rescued from one by Max.
327%%* HappilyMarried: To Max.
328* LightEmUp: Favors light magic despite being a sage.
329%%* RetiredBadass
330
331!!Elias
332!!!Class: Sniper
333
334A young hunter living in the Askian countryside with his family. He is captured alongside Alicia and is recruited in the same manner.
335----
336%%* ClassicalHunter: A younger, more innocent form of this.
337* JackOfAllStats: More well-rounded compared to Wilson.
338
339!!Nicole
340!!!Class: Queen
341The saucy queen of Behanzin. After the coup, she hid away within her palace's secret passageways awaiting the return of her king. She accompanies Walter back to Mansa to aid in the reconstruction but gets pulled into the game's final act in the process.
342----
343%%* DoubleEntendre: Enjoys speaking in these.
344* TheMatchmaker: Helps other characters with their love problems in her supports with them.
345* OddlyCommonRarity: Due to using a modified version of the Valkyrie class, random queens can be regularly encountered in arenas across Ibril.
346* {{Polyamory}}: Seems to be surprisingly okay with this, as she agrees to set up... something between Jack and Ladon on the former's behalf.
347%%* ReallyGetsAround: Prior to meeting and settling down with Ladon.
348* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Continues to fight with the brothers on her own terms.
349
350!!Gideon
351!!!Class: Druid
352A crime lord in charge of the Askian black market. When the advisors he is secretly working with are imprisoned by the rebels, he aids Lionel in retaking the nation to regain his grip.
353----
354* BadPowersBadPeople: Specializes in dark magic.
355* DeadlyDistantFinale: No matter his supports, Gideon gets executed for his crimes shortly after the end of the game.
356* EvilDebtCollector: Pressures many of the innocent people buying from him into doing his bidding via blackmail.
357%%* GlassCannon: To contrast Shelby.
358%%* SmugSnake
359%%* TokenEvilTeammate
360
361!!Luceil
362!!!Class: Falcon Knight
363The pegasus general of Mansa. She maintains a close connection with the current king, and is rightfully concerned about the princes when they arrive. She is the first to call for their aid though when her king's castle is suddenly attacked.
364----
365* HappilyEverAfter: Successfully pairs up with Sebastian in the end after all is said and done.
366%%* HopelessSuitor: To Sebastian. Or so she believes.
367* JackOfAllStats: Has no specific strengths compared to the other fliers. Just balanced base stats.
368
369!!Emily
370!!!Class: Armor Knight → Master Knight
371A small child in the Mansan countryside who is the descendant of a famed knight. Seeing trouble in her nation, she sets out with the army to live up to her grandfather's legacy.
372----
373%%* HeroWorshipper: To General Luceil.
374* MagikarpPower: In true fashion of an Est, she has high growths but pitiful base stats. At least she comes with her own crest...
375* MasterOfAll: Gains access to all physical weapon types on promotion.
376%%* PluckyGirl
377%%* ToughActToFollow: InUniverse, compared to her grandfather, Deen the Slayer.
378

382----
383%%* PapaBear: To Ava.
384* PowerfulButInaccurate: His preferred weapon, the Crescent, has extremely high power and critical hit rates but very low accuracy.
385* ReformedCriminal: Gives up his bandit lifestyle after his recruitment and eventual hiring by Teodros.
386
