Liberl arc
Lena Bright
- Voiced by: Ai BandoAppearances: SC
Cassius's wife and Estelle's mother, she died during the Hundred Days War.
- Heroic Sacrifice: She died protecting her daughter from falling rubble.
Karin Astray
- Voiced by: Kanako KoteraAppearances: SC
Joshua's older sister and Loewe's Childhood Friend, she was killed alongside most of Hamel's population in the event that led to the Hundred Days War.
- Childhood Friend Romance: If she had lived to adulthood, she and Loewe would've gotten married.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Was killed saving her brother from a Jaeger dropout.
- Strong Family Resemblance: With how much Joshua grew to look like her, it's no wonder he makes for such a convincing girl.
Mischa Crosner
Rufina Argent
Rufina as depicted in Sora no Kiseki: OL
- Voiced by: Hiromi Tsuru (Japanese)Appearances: The 3rd
A Knight of the Gralsritter and Ries' older sister.
- The Ace: Ein viewed her as one, and when the First Dominion says you're good...
- Badass Normal: Described as being as good as a Dominion even though she doesn't have any of the powers associated with them, by the First Dominion herself. If Kevin is brought to fight Loewe in SC, Loewe will even mention she could fight him to a standstill. On her own. In The 3rd, the flashback cutscene introducing the concept of Stigmas with Ein even has her point out Loewe was the one who retreated from that fight. It should also be stressed that the way Loewe tells the tale, he only remembers the bowgun - Rufina could very well have been fighting with only half her weapons against an opponent who could move at ridiculous speeds and close the distance on most ranged opponents, and still came out as the winner by default.
- Bow and Sword in Accord: Fought with a Templar Sword in one hand and a Bowgun in the other. This inspired Ries and Kevin's respective choice of arms.
- Cool Big Sis: Was this to both Ries (her actual younger sister) and Kevin.
- Early-Bird Cameo: If you fight Loewe with Kevin in your party in SC, after the battle concludes he will ask about a Gralsritter he once knew named Rufina Argent and questions Kevin if she is still well; Kevin is shocked for a moment before solemnly explaining that she had passed away, to which Loewe offers his condolences. Rufina is just a name at that point, but The 3rd fully introduces her (and provides a few more details under the circumstances under which she and Loewe crossed paths).
- Named Weapons: Her two weapons are distinguished from most others by having names and titles, Magic Bow "Aion" and Spirit Sword "Silbern". Ries and Kevin can find copies of Rufina's old weapons in the Third Plane of Phantasma.
- Nun Too Holy: As with her little sister, very lightly toyed with. She flirts a bit and has an unconventional approach to making Kevin eat.
- Worthy Opponent: Loewe certainly thinks of her as one. He expresses sadness when it's revealed she's dead by the time of SC.
Paradise victims
Adje, Cross, Quatre, and Etta
- Voiced by: Yuzuha Shibata (Adje), Miyu Terashima (Cross), Kaede Kogaya (Quatre), Azusa Enoki (Etta)
A group of children who befriended Renne at Paradise, the vilest of the D∴G Cult's various lodges.
- The Atoner: Cross’ final words to Renne were him yelling at her that everything that had happened to him and the others was her fault. Regretting this, he took control of Renne's body during Kuro II's Intermission in an attempt to protect her from anything that would hurt her.
- Parting-Words Regret: Cross really regretted blaming Renne for everything that happened in the lodge before dying, which is why he decided to protect her by possessing her body during Kuro II’s Intermission.
Crossbell arc
Guy Bannings
- Voiced by: Katsuyuki Konishi
Lloyd's older brother, he was an investigator for the Crossbell Police's First Division who died in the line of duty three years ago.
- The Ace: When he was partnered with Arios and Sergei, they formed a competent team able to get in the way of the mafia and participate in a international operation. Also, you know you're good you can handle Arios in single combat to a standstill, while finding out almost the entire plot of both Crossbell games before they happened, by himself. Note that it took six members of the SSS to beat Arios at full power.
- Jack of All Trades: However, it is noted by Garcia that while he is indeed a competent detective, he falls short of practically every single category to his specialised colleagues like Sergei (pinpointing enemy weaknesses and making the necessary preparations), Dudley (rational judgement and management) and Arios (quick-wittedness and awesome fighting skill). The one thing that he has over them is being a Determinator which allowed him to crack cases and criminals alike wide open.
- Always Someone Better: To Lloyd. At the beginning of the Crossbell arc, everything he does is inevitably going to be compared to his awesome brother. This is later downplayed when a talk with Garcia in Azure reveal that he wasn't exactly the larger than life figure Lloyd thought he was and completely averted by the end of the Crossbell arc when Lloyd's pedigree arguably surpass Guy's.
- Big Brother Worship: Inverted. Guy thinks that his brother is more talented that he will ever be.
- Battle in the Rain: He died in one, while facing Arios about the Azure-Zero Plan.
- Commonality Connection: Ian looked over him and Lloyd because just like them, he lost his family in a foreign-related incident.
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: He's a total goofball off duty, as shown by a drama CD where he spends a day comically worrying that Cecile will get mad at him for eating her jelly. He's also a strong enough fighter to stalemate Arios, a Divine Blade.
- Determinator: Garcia list this as his greatest strength and state that he never gave up, not against the general corruption of Crossbell nor against The Mafia. Arios even surmised that this trait was what put the duo on equal footing when they fought.
- Driving Question: The cause of his death is one for Lloyd.
- Dual Wielding: Like his little brother, he used a pair of tonfas.
- Et Tu, Brute?: Averted. He didn't blame about Arios's involvement in the Azure-Zero Project and his tentative to murder him.
- Fatal Family Photo: A variation. He was bragging to Arios about planning on inviting him and his daughter to his wedding to Cecile the next month after a stalemate in a duel to the death with him. Cue getting shot in the heart from behind by Ian.
- Genius Bruiser: Was known as a skilled detective, and was strong enough to keep pace with Arios, who is a Divine Blade, both as an ally and an enemy.
- Go-Karting with Bowser: It's noted that when off duty, he recommended liquors with the very criminals he supposed to arrest if he ever met up with them. Just ask Garcia.
- Have You Told Anyone Else?: Guy does this to himself when confronting Arios, telling him that he shared his suspicion with nobody and didn't bring Dudley for back up out of worry that he'd make the whole incident a big scene. Which Arios even points out is just assurance that if he kills Guy he'd get away with everything. But Guy is banking on the belief that Arios doesn't want to kill him and says this in the hope that they can put the issue aside for the moment and work things out later without anyone else getting involved, since the conspiracies plan is still years away from fruition. Guy appears to be right, as Arios seems willing to just wait things out till at least after Guy's wedding, but Ian also overhears this and decides to just kill Guy to eliminate the only witness.
- He Knows Too Much: Died because of this, he figures the involvment of the Crois family and the Azure-Zero Project before it even begins in public.
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Arios.
- 100% Heroism Rating: How everyone in the CSPD sees him. Even the criminals respect him to a degree as Garcia is shown to have disobeyed an order from Marconi by refusing to falsely credit Revache for his death to Joachim.
- In the Back: He was shot in the back by Ian.
- I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: When Lloyd meet him in the World of Zero, he express this sentiment twofold. Once toward Cecile as he is shown hoping for her to move on and the other for Lloyd, as Guy don't even entertain the notion of coming back to life at the expense of Lloyd' struggles and growth since he joined the SSS.
- Leitmotif: "Gazing at Your Back."
- Oblivious to Love: As Lloyd tells it, it took Guy forever to realize what Cecile felt for him.
- Practically Different Generations: He was 25 years old when he died, while Lloyd at the time was, at most, 15.
- Promotion to Parent: As his and Lloyd's parents died when he was 13, it fell to him to raise his brother, though he received assistance by Miles and Leyte, Cecile's parents.
- Shared Family Quirks: Seems like being Oblivious to Love is a recurring trend in the Bannings family.
- So Proud of You: When Lloyd is able to meet him in the World of Zero, Guy is touched by the growth of his brother.
- Stock Shōnen Hero: He has most of the traits of one: Determinator, Oblivious to Love, Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass, Wide-Eyed Idealist... much of Zero and Azure is spent examining the ramifications of someone like this being killed before they have the chance to become the hero of the story.
Baldur Orlando
- Appearances: Cold Steel II
The former leader of the Red Constellation, he is the older brother of Sigmund, the father of Randy, and the uncle of Shirley.
- Abusive Parents: Randy does not have many good things to say about him for raising him as a Child Soldier. He stated that even as a kid, he had to go through a training regimen that would make him cough up blood.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Sigmund states that Baldur secretly worried about Randy after he left the Red Constellation.
- Go Out with a Smile: Sigmund and Shirley confirmed he had a wide smile on his face on his death, no doubt satisfied with the long battle he had with his Worthy Opponent.
- Hidden Eyes: The above picture, provided by a brief flashback in Cold Steel II, is the only time we get a glimpse of his appearance, and it still doesn't show his eyes.
- Mutual Kill: He and Rutger Claussell died at each other's hands sometime before the start of Azure, after having fought for 3 days straight.
- Red Baron: As the leader of the Red Constellation, he was known as the "War God."
- World's Strongest Man: He and Rutger were both contenders for the title of "strongest Jaeger in all of Zemuria."
- Worthy Opponent: With Rutger, the only other Jaeger who could rival him. According to his relatives, their final battle left him with satisfied look on his face as he died.

- Star-Crossed Lovers: She ultimately couldn't be with her beloved Arthur due to their difference in social classes.
Mayor Armbrust
- Appearances: Cold Steel II
Crow's Grandfather, and last mayor of Jurai. His death is part of the reason for Crow trying to kill Osborne.
- Cool Old Guy: From what we're told he's the one who taught Crow his gambling tricks, and in IV it's mentioned he showed Stark some as well, when they were both fairly young.
- Death by Despair: Went into a depression after Jurai was annexed and died.
- Raised by Grandparents: Raised Crow on his own.
Colonel Valestein
- Voiced by: Junichi Yanagita (Japanese)Appearances: Northern War | Cold Steel III
A former colonel in the North Ambrian army, he would later become the founder of the Northern Jaegers and the adoptive father of Sara Valestein.
- The Ace: According to Glark, he was unquestionably the leader of the Northern Jaegers. His death really affected everyone involved.
- Colonel Badass: Formerly a colonel in the North Ambrian army before becoming de-facto founder and leader of the Northern Jaegers.
- Cool Old Guy: How he was described as such, by most people who knew him in life.
- Died in Your Arms Tonight: His adopted daughter Sara cradled him in her arms as he passed away.
- In the Back: A flashback in the Northern War anime shows that he died in battle when a child Jaeger from Nidhoggr shot him in the back.
- Officer and a Gentleman: Was known to be this, and tried to instill a strong sense of discipline into his troops.
- Papa Wolf: Genuiinely cared for Sara as his own, and his last act before dying was rushing out to save her from an enemy Jaeger.
- Silver Fox: Which is apparently what started Sara's interest in older men.
- Undignified Death: It's shown in Northern War that a child jaeger from Nidhoggr was the one who killed him.
- Worthy Opponent: Nidhoggr saw him as this, to the point that several members come to pay respects to his grave on the anniversary of his death, years after his passing. Rutger also thought highly of him.
Vlad Winslet
- Voiced by: Kenyuu Horiuchi (Japanese)Appearances: Northern War
Lavian's grandfather and a co-founder of the Northern Jaegers.
- Crazy-Prepared: The man stockpiled food inside an emergency bunker in case something happened where the farmers couldn't harvest the wheat.
- I'm Not a Hero, I'm...: In a flashback in episode 10, he admits to a young Lavi that he doesn't consider himself a hero but other people from Mishyusk Village considers him as one for providing food and emergency rations for when things go south to the village.
- Metaphorically True: Is stated to be the one who killed Colonel Valestein. He didn't actually kill him, but he did hesitate to attack a young member of the rival Jaeger Corps Nidhoggr, who then proceeded to kill Colonel Valestein, making him partially responsible for his death.
- No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Spares an enemy Jaeger as he was a child. Said Jaeger ends up killing his comrade and superior Colonel Valestein, and him taking the fall for his death which ends up fracturing the Northern Jaegers by putting Glark in charge, and turning Rogan into the War Hawk he is in the present.
- Silent Scapegoat: According to Glark, he willingly took the fall for Colonel Valestein's death and stepped down from the Northern Jaegers, both out of possible shame and believing himself responsible since Colonel Valestein only died due to his hesitance to attack a young enemy Jaeger, and to prevent further division amongst the Northern Jaegers.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: His hesitance in attacking an enemy child jaeger which resulted in Colonel Valestein's death, and then deciding to take the fall as a traitor, only helped to further fragment the Northern Jaegers as it put Glark in charge, and emboldened Rogan, who had been infuriated by the whole affair, into the War Hawk he is in the present who became deadset on overthrowing Glark and eventually North Ambria's civilian government. The end result is a military dictatorship that ends up costing North Ambria its sovereignty.
- Would Not Hurt A Child: Hesitates to kill a child Jaeger on the enemy side, which backfires as said child then proceeds to kill his comrade Colonel Valestein.

- Deceased Parents Are the Best: Her son, lover and niece Sandy all have nothing but praise for her.
- Inter-Class Romance: A commoner from the countryside who started a relationship and bore the child of the then Crown Prince of Erebonia. This caused problems as she'd never be accepted as Eugent's wife, which eventually resulted in her getting killed.
- Star-Crossed Lovers: Due to her being a commoner, she would never be accepted as Eugent's wife, no matter how much he tried to convince his father.
- Teen Pregnancy: The fact that she dropped out of Thors heavily hints that she was pregnant with Olivert while still a student when she would have been between 17-19.

- Age-Gap Romance: She was 10 years younger than her future husband.

Dreichels Reise Arnor
A statue of Emperor Dreichels in front of Valflame Palace
Prince Dreichels from behind in a flashback
- Voiced by: Joji Nakata (Japanese), Michael Sorich (English)Appearances: Cold Steel II | Cold Steel IV
"Arise, O youth, and become the foundation of the world."
Known as Dreichels the Lionheart to many, he was the 73rd emperor of the Erebonian Empire who was responsible for ending the civil war known as the "War of the Lions" that took place over 250 years prior to the events of Cold Steel. In the later years of his life, he founded Thors Military Academy with the intent to shape future generations of Erebonians into capable members of society as dictated by his famous mandate: "Arise, O youth, and become the foundation of the world."
In Cold Steel II it's revealed that Dreichels was once the Awakener of Valimar. Discovering him in the building that would be known as the Old Schoolhouse, the two forged a contract with each other and through Valimar's power was Dreichels able to end the civil war. Afterwards, he ended his contract with Valimar and returned him to his place of rest once more.
- Animal Motif: Lions, as stated in his status as The Lionheart. Lions are symbols of royalty, strength and bravery which suits how he rose to the throne at the end of the War of the Lions. He also founded Thors Military academy which has a horned Lion as their emblem, with the students, and those who attempt to follow his examples tend to be called 'Young Lions'. His reincarnation Osborne inherited this.
- Battle Couple: He was romantically involved with Lianne during the War of the Lions until the latter's death and departure and two fought together during that time.
- BFS: His statue in Dreichels Plaza has him wielding one, which is heavily implied to have been his main weapon of choice in life. His reincarnation, Osborne, also favors one in battle.
- Blue Blood: Comes with the territory of being an Arnor. However, much like his future descendant Olivert, he's also half-commoner due to being born to a common born mother.
- Cain and Abel: The Abel towards several of his brother's Cain, but most notably Orthros who was the ancestor of the Cayenne family and Dreichels' final opponent for the throne.
- Childhood Friends: With Roland Vander. Their friendship would set the basis for the close relationship between the Arnor and Vander families for centuries to come.
- Dare to Be Badass: Basically his mandate for Thors Military Academy: "Arise, O youth, and become the foundation of the world."
- The Faceless: We never actually get to see what his face looks like even during flashbacks that show him. However, with what we know about reincarnation in Zemuria, odds are that he looked exactly like Osborne.
- Famous Ancestor: He is the ancestor of the Imperial Family of Erebonia who are his direct descendants.
- The Gadfly: Apparently a bit as according to Roselia, she assumes that if he were still alive Dreichels would have likely teased her about her current child form.
- Generation Xerox:
- Not him specifically, but his descendant Olivert ends up taking after Dreichels in a number of ways. Both are best friends with a Vander, have half-commoner blood running through their veins and thus considered unfit to inherit the throne, ended up travelling throughout the empire and beyond as result, yet still have strong sense of duty to their nation regardless.
- It's also revealed that Rean, Dreichels' successor as Valimar's Awakener, is one as well. Not only do they end up walking similar paths during their respective civil wars, but when taking time to describe him to Rean, the way Valimar describes Dreichels makes it seem as though he's talking about Rean as well. Perhaps unsurprising considering that Rean's biological father is in fact a reincarnated Dreichels.
- Going Native: Prior to the civil war that would make him famous, he lived as a nomad together with the people of the Nord Highlands. It's because of this that he formed close bond with them and that they eventually became his first real allies in the War of the Lions.
- The Good King: Is remembered fondly as a great Emperor who ended a bloody Civil War and as the Father of the Renaissance.
- Greater-Scope Paragon: To the modern day Erebonian Empire. Long dead that he is, his ideals are what sets the standard for the students at Thors Military Academy as exemplified by the members of Class VII, and also in his descendant Olivert, who continuously strive to make the empire a better place for all.
- Heroic Bastard: Was the born out of wedlock to a commoner mother, just like his descendant Olivert, but is nonetheless a heroic figure.
- Heroic Lineage: The modern day Imperial Family are directly descended from him.
- Heroic Willpower: He was able to keep Ishmelga at bay for decades till his death.
- Honor Before Reason: Doesn't tell his best friend witch that he's been stalked by the curse of Erebonia, or even revealing that there's such a thing as a curse looming in Erebonia because he felt that the curse is an issue that only man has to deal with it and not bother Roselia with those issues. Unfortunately, this ends up endangering Erebonia as a whole.
- The Magnificent: "Dreichels the Lionheart."
- Massive Numbered Siblings: His father, Emperor Valius, was known to Really Gets Around with a large Royal Harem. Only 5 of his brothers were named (Manfred who died shortly after their father, and the other 4 he fought in the war, Orthros, Gunnar, Albert and Lucius) though its hinted he had many more.
- Meaningful Name: The first half of his name, 'Drei' means 'three' in German, and he was the Emperor Valius' third son.
- Our Founder: A statue of him can be found in Dreichels Plaza.
- Parental Substitute: Raised the children of his dead best friend Roland as if they were his own. Considering the Vander family's long Legacy of Service since then, its safe to say they appreciated it.
- Precursor Hero: To Rean as Valimar's Awakener.
- Reincarnation: It's eventually revealed that Dreichels had reincarnated as a new person by the time the main story takes place. That person? None other than Giliath Osborne.
- Royal Bastard: Was born out of wedlock to a common born mother.
- Royals Who Actually Do Something: After seeing the devastation wrought by the conflict first hand, he fought in the War of the Lions for the sole purpose of restoring order to the Empire.
- Significant Double Casting: Flashbacks of him speaking has him with the same voice actors as Osborne who turns out to be his reincarnation.
- Starcrossed Lovers: With Lianne Sandlot. Both fell in love and had sworn to live with each other after the war ended, but Lianne's death and subsequent departure after her resurrection prevented any hope of that ever happening.
- Unexpected Successor: As the 3rd born son, one born out of wedlock to a commoner mother at that, he wouldn't have gotten the throne under normal circumstances. Only gained to throne by winning the War of the Lions.
- Warrior Prince: Fought directly in the War of the Lions as Valimar's Awakener.
Orthros Reise Arnor
- Appearances: Cold Steel II
The fourth son of Emperor Valius Reise Arnor V of Erebonia and the older half-brother of the then-Prince Dreichels.
- Hidden Eyes: The one picture that depicts him leaves his eyes covered in shadow.

- Voiced by: Atsushi Tamaru (adult), Yuzuta Shiba (child)
Swin's former partner in the Organization, as well as Nadia's older brother.
- BFS: His signature weapon was a large sword.
- Big Brother Mentor: His relationship with the younger Swin was quite similar to that of Loewe and Joshua. Reverie even includes a Group Mission quote where Swin thinks of him when hearing talks of older brothers.
- Impersonation-Exclusive Character: During Kuro II, Garden-Master is able to turn Swin to his side with the supposed reveal of being Ace, but that's eventually revealed to be a lie, as he's really Auguste Ardent. The real Ace only briefly shows up after Auguste's defeat, with his spirit sending his regards to his former partner and younger sister.
- Promotion to Parent: He had to take care of Nadia after their parents died.

- Connected All Along: His adopted daughter Lillia would go on to become the biological grandmother of Agnès Claudel.
- Death by Origin Story: He's been mentioned since the first game in the Trails Series, but since he died decades before it started, players don't get to see him for most of the series.
- The Faceless: The first time he gets to a physical appearance is a shot from behind in Daybreak.
- Given Name Reveal: His first name, beyond the initial, was first confirmed in the prologue of Daybreak.
- One-Man Industrial Revolution: The one who created the Orbal Science responsible for the setting's Magic from Technology. Though somewhat downplayed since its indicated his disciples also played their part in spreading and propogating his research.

The late wife of President Roy Gramheart and the mother of Agnès.
- Age-Gap Romance: The second Daybreak game reveals that there was an 8-year gap between her and Roy. They first met and got to know each other when he had just entered Aramis High School, a point where he was likely 15-16, while she would be around 7-8.

Yuefa Wei

Sheena Dirke
- Appearances: Kuro II
The "mother" of Calvard's revolution who, alongside her comrades, artist Aramis Gainsbourg, former general Ulger Atkinson, and philosopher Auguste Ardant, helped overthrow the oppressive Royal Ramily, turning the kingdom into a republic in S.1100.
- Ambiguously Evil: In Azure, details of the revolution are given that imply that the revolution was not as black and white as it might seem. According to Grace, the revolutionaries committed enough atrocities to fill an entire library. They were responsible for several assassinations, and supposedly were responsible for something similar to Dieter's False Flag Operation with the Red Constellation. However, because history is Written by the Winners, Calvardians view these actions as justified. This is further complicated by the events of Kuro II, where the Big Bad is a former ally of hers that turned out to be way too extreme in his beliefs.
- Early-Bird Cameo: Her name and role in Calvard's revolution is mentioned in a book that goes over famous female figures in Zero, and details of the revolution are mentioned in Azure.
- Jeanne d'Archétype: Given her role as a young woman of humble origins who become the face of a revolution, she's quite obviously meant to be the Trails equivalent of Joan of Arc, which is fitting given that Calvard is partially inspired by France.
