[-'''Title''': Zarathustra\\
'''Rune''': ᛞ (Dagaz)\\
'''Major Arcana''': The Magician\\
'''Zodiac Sign''': None. Represented by ☿ (Mercury)\\
'''Ewigkeit Degree''': Yetzirah (Kasumi route), Beri'ah (Kei route), Atziluth (Marie and Rea route)\\
'''Ahnenerbe''': Bois de Justice, Thrud Walküre (Kei route) -]

A lone wolf lacking in sociality. He may appear rather mature for his age, but is fast to lose his cool when complimented over his effeminate features - a trait that became somewhat of a complex for him. While normally agreeable with others, he draws a clear line between himself and the rest of his schoolmates, with the exception of a few close friends.

Unfortunately, about two months prior, a brutal fight inexplicably broke out between him and Shirou Yusa - his best friend - that left both of them hospitalized, placing Ren's already fickle reputation at school in complete jeopardy.

Following some events he comes into possession of Bois De Justice, the guillotine from the French revolution. Containing the soul of Marguerite Breuilh, this Ahnenerbe allows Ren to harness her curse to decapitate anyone whose neck makes contact with its blade, regardless of regeneration or immortality.
----
* AbusiveParents: It is heavily implied throughout the novel that his adoptive father was less than a pleasant person. The anime is much more straightforward about it, portraying him as a straight up MadScientist who has had connections to the LDO for quite some time. And then there is of course the issue with Ren's "real" father.
* TheAgeless: Following the events in Marie's route, Ren ceased to age due to him still retaining his powers. This in stark contrast to Kasumi who keeps on aging as normal and everyone else who reincarnated.
* AnIcePerson: In the anime, Ren's ability to stop time is portrayed as straight up freezing everything around him in solid ice.
* ArtificialHuman: Was created as Mercurius' Ahnenerbe, a merger of parts of Mercurius and Lotus' souls.
* BlueIsHeroic: His main color scheme is blue, and he's the protagonist of the story.
* CosmicPlaything: Lampshaded by Mercurius in Marie's route when he tells him that everything he is is a carefully arranged puzzle piece in Mercurius' plan that barely has anything resembling free will.
* CreatureOfHabit: He wants to live a normal life, because he find the 'unknown' frightening.
* DeaderThanDead: in Kei's route he gains a different version of his Beri'ah with the aid of Beatrice's Thrud Walküre called Eine Faust Scherzo which allows him to permanently kill the living dead.
* DeadpanSnarker: Quite a bit. His indifference to Kasumi's and Rea's antics are a good proof of that.
* DealWithTheDevil: In Rea's route, after he resurfaces following Marie's bout of GrandTheftMe, he accepts power from Mercurius, forming Eine Faust Finale, something described as a hell equal to that of Gladsheim. This is described to have permanently altered him physically even after he calms down.
* DiscardAndDraw: After losing access to Marie's guillotine in Kei's route, he then takes Beatrice's Thrud Walklure.
* EnemyWithin: Upon unwittingly acquiring his Ahenerbe at the museum, Ren begins having nightmares that coincide with a series of decapitation murders in the city. This terrifies him to the point of actively avoiding sleep for a while, since he fears he's the killer and that he'll lose control over himself if he sleeps. However, while it's true that the murders are happening because his Ahenerbe is gathering souls, the true killer isn't him, but his childhood friend Kasumi.
* FirstPersonSmartass: He can get pretty snarky in his narration.
* GravityScrew: When Eine Faust Finale is activated it starts to distort gravity around him, causing it to greatly increase in strength on top of the time manipulation it already does.
* HeroicBSOD: In any route when Rea's true nature is revealed to him, but he has a particularly bad one when Mercurius tells him of his true nature.
* ImpossiblyCoolClothes: Wears this when he faces against both Reinhard and Mercurius, in the FinalBattle of Rea's Route. In contrast to the German military uniforms of his opponents, Ren is clad in a cross between Bodhisattva vestments and Samurai armor.
* ItsAllMyFault: In Rea's route he ends up developing something of a guilt-complex, feeling that all the bad things that happened in the city where the fault of his own existence.
* MadnessMantra: When he really looses it in Eine Faust Finale, he only seems to be able the shout "death" over and over again.
* MagicPants: Upon entering Eine Faust Finale, all his clothes get destroyed except for his pants.
* MediumAwareness: When Kasumi notices Marie being naked in his bed, Ren takes note of that the BGM switched to a much more sinister one.
* MergerOfSouls: He was created by Mercurius from Lotus Reichhart's soul and part of his own soul. In the true ending of Rea's route, Ren completely purges Mercurius from his being and becomes a straight-up reincarnation of Lotus.
* NighInvulnerability: Once he achieves Atziluth degree, he himself exists as an ephemeral moment at all times. In effect, it makes it impossible to hurt him by most means since his current state is locked. Even Machina's all erasing fists are left useless against it.
* OneHitKill: His Ahnenerbe, Bois de Justice allows him to instantly kill almost anyone, including immortals, provided he hits the neck.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: And he would love to remain that way.
* PowerDyesYourHair: In Eine Faust Finale, his hair becomes red.
* QualityOverQuantity: He has only one soul, but his own soul is so powerful so he is at least comparable to the LDO members who have thousands of souls.
* RedSkyTakeWarning: In Eine Faust Finale.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: Has a signature white scarf, and while he initially only wears to hide the scar on his neck, he eventually grows skilled enough that it counts as one.
* SuperSpeed: His first Beri'ah, Eine Faust Overture increases his speed by accelerating his own time. The version of it he get's after being empowered by Mercurius, Eine Faust Finale, slows down time around him on top of speeding up his own. In this state only Schrieber is able to out-speed him.
* TimeStandsStill: His Atziluth, Res Novae - Also Sprach Zarathustra.
* UnstoppableRage: Eine Faust Finale, again.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Early on he has somewhat of a phobia for blades. This later revealed to be because of his relation of blades to the memory of when he and Shirou killed Kasumi's father with a knife.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: His hair is blue.

'''Ewigkeit Degree''': Yetzirah\\
'''Ahnenerbe''': Die Blutgräfin: Elizabeth Bathory's Diary (Kei route, Marie route), Qliphoth Bacikal (Rea route) -]

Ren's best friend since childhood. He is a genius skilled in all sorts of fields, but as a result, he finds life boring. As a constant thrill-seeker, he acts recklessly and even incited a brutal fight with Ren, ultimately breaking off their friendship. As a result, he vanished from school and has not been heard from since.
----
* TheAce: Charismatic, skilled with firearms, is incredibly intelligent (when he wants to be), is a quick learner and has the gift of Foreknowledge letting him know what's going to happen.
* ArchEnemy: To Wilhelm.
* AllergicToRoutine: Polar opposite to Ren, who wants to live a normal life.
* AntiMagic: His Yetzirah.
* BadassNormal: The only normal human who's ever defeated an Ewigkeit user.
* BloodKnight: He lives for thrills, and mostly finds them in fights where he is hopeless outmatched. However, once his feeling of deja vu kicks in, he loses any of said joy.
* CombatClairvoyance: His Foreknowledge allows him to predict his enemy's moves.
* DejaVu: He suffers constant Foreknowledge. It later turns out that they are echoes of previous timelines.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: When he gets Rusalka's Ahnenerbe.
* FeelNoPain: Rarely inconvenienced by pain.
* {{Foil}}: To Ren. Ren wants to live an ordinary life, while Shirou craves for something new, Ren has four LoveInterests that he chooses based on dialogue and decisions, Shirou always hooks up with Eri, Ren acquires his Ahnenerbe on his own, Shirou steals one.
* GangstaStyle: Ellie points out in ''Wehrwolf'', that this style dislocated his wrist.
* GuileHero: Compensates for the immense disparity in power of his opponents by using his wits and plain guts to beat them.
* GunsAkimbo: He used it before, but, since Ren broke one of his guns, he doesn't do it onscreen.
* HandCannon: Wields a Desert Eagle as his firearm of choice. The narrative itself literally calls it a hand cannon.
* HeroicSacrifice: In Rea's route he kills himself after his fistfight with Ren which releases the souls he had stolen from Wilhelm and opens the last swastika, fully bringing Reinhard into our realm and thus giving Ren the chance to put him down for good.
* IncitingIncident: His decision to cut all ties with Ren and pick a fight with him is what sets Ren onto the path of discovering Marie and falling into Mercurius's schemes.
* InstantExpert: For Ren, it took more than a week to learn to use Assiah and about the same time to learn Yetzirah, but Yusa learnt them instantly when he acquired Rusalka's Ahnenerbe.
* JapaneseDelinquents: Lead the lowlives at "The Bottomless Pit" at some point before the story.
* KillItThroughItsStomach: He has a very strong soul. In Marie's route, when Rusalka tried to absorb it, he tore up her from inside. In Rea's route, he's able to successfully escape Wilhelm's body after he dies fighting Schreiber.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCgu7sUb7-0 dumme Marionette]]
* MakingTheChoiceForYou: Ren was caught in a SadisticChoice over wanting to kill Kasumi's father who was implied to not be a particularly good person, and risk ruining his ordinary life and inflicting him with the guilt over killing someone who had taken him in as a child. Shirou decides to make that decision for him by killing Kasumi's father instead of Ren and having help him cover up the murder.
* MutualKill: Manages to kill Wilhelm in Kasumi's route but ends up dying from his injuries. Something similar again happens to him and Ellie in Marie's route in their fight against Schreiber.
* NervesOfSteel: Those who witness and survive an encounter with the LDO are usually too awed by their overwhelming power to even speak, the first thing Shirou says after meeting them was complain that they ruined his car.
* NotSoDifferent: Surprisingly, the person he has the most in common with, is Reinhard. Both are exceptionally talented yet bored with what their lives have become, not helping is that they both share foreknowledge of the world around them. However a violent encounter with a blue haired individual (Ren and Mercurius) leads them into desiring what they want the most. (For Reinhard, a WorthyOpponent for his worth and for Shirou, an opportunity for excitement and unpredictability.)
* OfficialCouple: With Ellie. Rusalka even compares them to [[Film/BonnieAndClyde Bonnie and Clyde]]
* RealityEnsues: Sure, being a BadassNormal and a GeniusBruiser makes Shirou an incredibly crafty and gifted person but it doesn't really mean a whole lot when he's up against enemies who literally defy reality itself. In Kasumi's route, he only really gets a win over Wilhelm because of his [[WeaksauceWeakness various Vampire Weakness's]] caused by activating his Beri'ah and even then, he dies shortly afterwards. This however, does not apply when he gains (or rather, steals) his own Ahnenerbe which turns him into a truly dangerous force. Compare his fights with Wilhelm when he doesn't have an Ahnenerbe where he's constantly on the defensive to his fight with him in Marie's route where the two were nearly even, (keep in mind that Wilhelm has [[GeniusBruiser over 60 years of combat experience]], has his Beri'ah activated that makes him even more powerful while also doubling said power when used at night to Shirou who had literally gotten his Ahnenerbe minutes before they fought again).
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Delivers a vicious verbal smack-down to Ren at the end of Rea's route, picking apart his ideals and methods while both beat each-other senseless.
* SharingABody: After tearing out of Rusalka's body in Marie's route. He manages to take Ellies soul out with him. With her soul inhabiting his body. The same happens, when he leaves Wilhelm's dying body in Rea's route, where Kasumi is also saved in addition to Ellie.
* SmokingIsCool: Even having a sprite with him smoking.
* TrickBullet: Uses things such as bullets made of silver as various ways to deal with Wilhelm. After attaining Die Blutgräfin his bullet then get a magic effect added to them.
* ThrillSeeker: He jumps into Ren's war with LDO mainly for the excitement and thrills.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Ren. This is intentional on Mercurius's part, who framed a relationship that was similar to his and Reinhard's.

Daughter of a prestigious hospital's director and Shirou's partner in crime, the two met while Shirou was being treated at a hospital and planned to bust Shirou out before Ren woke up.

Carefree, and never hesitant to crack a joke or two even at Ren's expense, Ellie is the perfect partner to complement Shirou in his reckless endevaours.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tumblr_inline_nfjn2oh0pe1rc9cop.jpg]]

The head of the Kendo Club. Unyielding and masculine, she and Ren share a rather masochistic relationship. Unlike the infamous Ren, Kasumi is cheerful and sociable, her fame further amplified by her national-level fencing skills. She has a generally rough personality, but when it comes to Ren, she's prone to worrying and being fussy. She has a tendency to try and act the older sister from time to time, but she neither looks, nor feels the part.
----
* {{Angrish}}: At one point she get so pissed off that she fails to form any sort of coherent sentences.

* ChildhoodFriendRomance: In her route.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: She has auburn hair and brown eyes.
* DealWithTheDevil: In Sakurai's route, Mercurius offers to save Ren and her other friends as long as she agrees to his simple demand of birthing and raising a child. She agrees, but promises that he will be defeated eventually.

* GenkiGirl: Extremely joyful, enthusiastic and hotheaded.
* IdiotHair: Has one.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: In every route except for her own.
* MaliciousMisnaming: Shirou calls her Bakasumi ('Twitsumi' in the English release).
* {{Tomboy}}
* SerialKiller: She's the one who commits the decapitation murders early in the visual novel. It's implied, however, that she's not in complete control of her actions, being driven to murder as a result of Mercurius's manipulations and her desire to be of use to Ren.
* UnwittingPawn: Under Mercurius's influence, she becomes a SerialKiller who murders the citizens of Suwahara city at nighttime in order to nourish Ren's Ahenerbe. As a result, she unwittingly forces Ren right into the thick of conflict with the L.D.O and destroys his peaceful day-to-day existence.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She is afraid of heights. Surprisingly, Ren didn't point this out despite knowing her for long before she refused to go to the amusement park.

[-'''Title''': Sonnenkind II\\
'''Rune''': ᛇ (Eihwaz)\\
'''Major Arcana''': The Hermit\\
'''Zodiac Sign''': ♍ (Virgo)\\
'''Ahnenerbe''': Swastika -]

Ren's upperclassman. Just as popular as Kasumi. But while Kasumi's popularity can be categorized as more or less conventional, Rea is idolized by those of more peculiar tastes, as - just like Ren - she normally tends to keep her distance from those around her.

She exudes an aura of aloofness, her well-ordered features of mixed German and Japanese blood rarely betraying emotion. However, despite that initial impression, she is hardly the type to be cold to others. An "eccentric weirdo" might be a more apt way to describe her, all things considered. Incidentally, her home is also a church.

As a Sonnenkind, she acts as the heart of the Swastika which is also her Ahnenerbe.
----
* ACupAngst: Is somewhat self-conscious about her somewhat modest chest size.
* ApocalypseMaiden: She's a Sonnenkind [[note]]german for sunchild[[/note]], which makes her a core part of the Alchemy of Gold that will sacrifice all those within Suwahara to allow Reinhard to reach godhood.
* ButNotTooForeign: She's a direct descendant of Reinhard Heydrich and Lisa Brenner who inherited some Japanese genes down the line.
* CooldownHug: Gives one to Ren to snap him out of his berserk state in her route
* EmotionlessGirl: What she tried to play herself as in order to avoid getting attached to others since she was aware of her status as a human sacrifice. It fell apart soon after she met Ren.
* OfficialCouple: With Ren, since her ending is the final one of the game.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Almost no one refers to her by her real name. She herself seem to dislike the name and tries to reinforce the nickname.
* PunnyName: A character called her "Rea Himmler", after nazi occultist Heinrich Himmler at one point, that [[{{Foreshadowing}} foreshadows]] the reveal that she is a direct descendant of Reinhard Heydrich.
* PurpleEyes: Her eyes are violet, and it signifies she's special.
* SpannerInTheWorks: In her route, she inadvertently sets up the fight between Shirou and Ren on the rooftop on whether or not to kill her to prevent the full summoning of Reinhard. The ensuing fight delights Mercurius so much that he forgets his entire plans and causes his and Reinhards, ultimate demise.
* StepfordSnarker: Despite her sharp tongue, in her route it becomes clear that it is just a front to hide her severe insecurities stemming from her nature as a Sonnenkind.
* SugarAndIcePersonality
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: She has white hair.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/305_0.jpg]]

A mysterious girl who appears in Ren's dreams. She is clearly not Japanese, but her background and true name are unknown. For all we know, she might be just a figment of the young man's imagination. A maiden of the twilight, she sings a loathed refrain with a pure, angelic smile. Could that scar across her neck have been left by a guillotine?
----
* AllLovingHeroine: Becomes this near the end of her and Rea routes, becoming the new benevolent Goddess with the desire "to embrace all".
* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: At the end of her own and Rea's route she ascends and becomes the Goddess of the world.
* DoomMagnet: Due to her Guillotine curse, anyone who makes contact with her ends up beheaded. Only Ren is immune, and her curse wears off whenever he's around her.

* GrandTheftMe: In Rea's route she temporarily takes over Ren's body to fight the L.D.O. commanders. Unfortunately, she doesn't do any better against them and only ends up causing him further mental stress.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Of a sort. Marguerite Breuilh is the subject of a Breton urban legend, "L'enfant de la perdition" (''The Child of Retribution'' in English), reported by French author Creator/PaulFeval. It can be read in English [[https://books.google.ca/books?id=TYU-AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA14&lpg=PA14&dq=marguerite+breuilh+saint-malo&source=bl&ots=kaWnnJ4zmQ&sig=FPShjuDYduisgM6Jk4zCkOM0VJE&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjHh4q6_f_ZAhUFzlkKHSJFD6UQ6AEISzAI#v=onepage&q=marguerite%20breuilh%20saint-malo&f=false here]].

-->''Amantes Amantes - Omnia Vincit Amor'' (May all your wishes find fruition in bliss)
* OnlyICanKillHim: She's the only person in the novel who can kill Mercurius. Reinhard and Ren can't do this since they are his parts, even though Reinhard as Mercurius' Apoptosis and Ren in Three Colours Route are equal to him.
* RapunzelHair: It goes past her hips.
* SeriesFauxnale: Her route was the finale of the original ''~Also Sprach Zarathustra~'' visual novel, providing a definitive final battle against Reinhard Heydrich as well as showing how Mercurius succeeded in overwriting the old world of foreknowledge. However, the later release, ''~Acta est Fabula~'' added in Rea's route, which expands upon the motivations of Mercurius as well as making him a direct participant in the final battle. Lastly, it also revealed the true origins and identity of the protagonist, Ren Fujii.
* WalkingSpoiler
* WhatIsThisFeeling: When Ren confronts Reinhard at the bridge she start to feel some strange sensation she has never felt before. Ren notes that this sensation is fear and that she is afraid of Reinhard. This serves as the trigger for her developing the rest of her emotions and allowing her and Ren's power to grow exponentially.

* ActionGirl: Every female member to some extent.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Usually played straight.
* BackFromTheDead: They are all parts of Reinhard's Gladsheim, so they can be revived by him even after being erased from history.
* BloodbathVillainOrigin: All members had blood on their hands in order to be part of the order, either before or during its inception. Reinhard was a ruthless HangingJudge. Spinne and Rusalka murdered their spouses. Wolfgang and Wilhelm murdered their parents. Machina murdered his friend. Trifa and Lisa killed their children. Despite being overall nice people, Beatrice, Kei, Kai, are no exceptions.
* ColonelBadass: Reinhard and his Three Commanders.
* DraggedOffToHell: In the anime, instead of turning into ash when they die, they are instead grabbed and dragged underground by loads of skeletal arms.
* DramaPreservingHandicap: Reinhard and his Battalion of Three can't fight in their full power without having all eight Swastikas open.
* TheDreaded: Despite being mostly in the shadows in the years following WWII, The LDO are an internationally wanted organization. The lower echelons alone fetch exorbitant bounties. While most LDO members being already very powerful, Mercurius, Reinhard and his Three Commanders scare even other LDO members.
* FighterMageThief: Arguably, Reinhard's Three Commanders. Göetz von Berlichingen, who fights with his own fists, is the Fighter, Eleonore von Wittenburg, who uses long-range attacks, is the Mage, and Wolfgang Schreiber, who is specialized in speed, is the Thief.
* GeniusBruiser: Don't even think about outsmarting them. Most of the members have over sixty years of combat and war experince letting them know every strategy that could be used to try and hopelessely beat them.
* {{Ghostapo}}
* ANaziByAnyOtherName: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. They are Nazis InNameOnly. Hitler is hardly ever mentioned, though their leader, Reinhard, was the head of the Gestapo and one of the most brutally efficient enforcers of the regime.

* OneManArmy: Even the weakest LDO members can withstand a nuke without getting a single scratch.

* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Since abilities provided by Die Ewigkeit include immortality, most of them look younger than they actually are. Most of them are over 80 years old.
* RestrainingBolt: The Stigmata.
* TacticalRockPaperScissors: The three commanders each beat one of the others but is in turn bested by the other. Machina beats Eleonore, Eleonore beats Schreiber and Schreiber beats Machina.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: The three commanders are able to fight together in perfect unison, however this stems more from extensive knowledge about the way each one of them fights than any sort of cooperation. They have battled each-other so many times that they know their fighting-styles by instinct.
* YourSoulIsMine: Die Ewigkeit allows them to absorb souls to become stronger. Additionally, anyone branded with the stigmata will become one of Reinhards Einherjar upon death.

->"Ah, why can't you endure my touch? If a mere graze upon your delicate skin sends you shattering to a myriad pieces, how can you hope to withstand my embrace? Such cruelty. Why must this world -from the tiniest blade of grass to the vastest of mountains- be so painfully fragile. So be it, then. My love shall take the form of destruction. I shall ravage so I can cherish. I adore the weak that bow before me, as well as the defeated that bend their knees. My love expands to the vassals that rebel, and those that mean me harm. I love all and everything. And so shall I lay waste to everything before me"

'''Rune''': ᚺ (hagall)\\
'''Major Arcana''': The Emperor\\
'''Zodiac Sign''': ♈ (Aries)\\
'''Ewigkeit Degree''': Atziluth\\
'''Ahnenerbe''': Longinuslanze Testament-]

The leader of the Longinus Dreizehn Orden. Originally a high-ranking official in Germany, regarded as highly dangerous due to his seemingly boundless talent in all fields. Later, he bowed out of the public eye through the guise of a staged assassination, and formed the Obsidian Round Table alongside Mercurius.

Their subordinate members acted behind the scenes of [=WW2=] and kept on destroying friend and foe alike. His acts of destruction reached their climax during the fall of Berlin. However, he and his three direct subordinates disappeared shortly afterwards, leaving their current whereabouts a mystery.

He wields the Longinuslanze Testament, the holy spear said to have pierced Christ on the cross. A weapon of unlimited speed, perfect accuracy and an all ending strike. It burns the minds and erodes the souls of all those unworthy to look upon it, with only the most charismatic being in the world being allowed to wield it. A criteria Reinhard meets.
----
* TheAce: Even back when he was a normal human he was absurdly good at everything he did.
* AFatherToHisMen: Though his love of them isn't really what an average person would call normal, he's fond of the LDO and considers them his "irreplaceable shining stars" due to the beautiful and tragic stories that their lives are.
* AllLovingHero: A possibly unique villainous example - he loves everything in existence, but [[BlueAndOrangeMorality love means destruction to him]].
* AllYourPowersCombined: He is able to freely use the powers of all of his Einherjar as the need arises.
* AnimalMotifs: Lions
* AlwaysAccurateAttack: His Ahnenerbe, Longinuslanze Testament, has the properties of his Three Commanders' Beri'ah: it is always faster than its target, never loses, and always kills it.
* AsLongAsThereIsEvil: He spouts some variation of either this or WeWillMeetAgain after he's thwarted or defeated in every route other than Rea's. In the epilogue of Marie's route, he's implied to have reincarnated as a priest with his beastly nature completely suppressed and forgotten, but capable of rising up again should the power of the Goddess weaken sufficiently.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: He is Merucurius's Apoptosis, which means he is the embodiment of his desire to die.
* BadassNormal: Even back when he was a regular human he was not to be trifled with, easily beating those who dared challenge him.
* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: The infamous man behind the Holocaust is in this story the superhuman leader of a group of mass murderers and war criminals, seeking an opponent worthy to fight him and to ascend too godhood, wielding the holy lance the pierced Christ.
* BigBad: Of the visual novel as a whole. He shares this role with Mercurius.
* BiggerOnTheInside: His Gladsheim.
* BloodKnight: His secondary objective besides creating his warmonger's paradise is finding someone who can finally fight him on his own level. When Ren (and Mercurius, in Rea's route) finally meet this criteria, he is downright ecstatic, laughing aloud in joy even when he begins to be at a disadvantage.
* CharacterFilibuster: Though not nearly to the extend of Mercurius, he loves discussing hypothetics and philosophical problems just as much, and subjects Ren to a couple of them after Ren's capture in the start of Marie's route.
* CoatCape: Wears his uniform this way.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Has amber eyes to go with his blond hair.
* DieLaughing: At the end of Marie's route, he can't help but break out into joyful laughter as the Bois de Justice is digging itself into his neck, content with his final battle and finally being able to experience the unknown.
* DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans: He want to turn the world into eternal battlefield. A paradise for [[BloodKnight blood knights]], hell for anyone else.
* EvilVirtues: Despite his status as the BigBad, Reinhard still remains courteous at all times. Checking almost the entire list, but standouts include his Gratitude, Honesty, Honor, Humility, Love, Passion and Patience. While some of them come across as condescending due to his BlueAndOrangeMorality, he generally have the best intentions behind them.
* ForeverWar: In his Gladsheim, the Einherjar fight for eternity and revive after being killed.
* FinalBoss: Of Kei and Marie's routes.
* GoldColoredSuperiority: He's the strognest in LDO (except for Mercurius, although in his peak, apoptosis form he's equal).
* GracefulLoser: Upon his defeat in Marie's route, he wholeheartedly praises Ren for his victory and tells him that he should live and hold his head high. He departs with no regrets and gives Ren his blessing.
* HairAntennae: Has a pair of strands sticking out from the rest of his hair. This is made even more pronounced in the anime adaptation.
* HellIsWar: Gladsheim for anyone who isn't a BloodKnight.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[DownplayedTrope Somewhat]]. In the good endings to Rea's route, he renounces his beastly ambitions and chooses to live and die as a man. Additionally, he also gives Lotus Reichhart, the original incarnation of Ren Fujii, a brief nudge in order to remind him of the promise he made to Rea, but other than that he remains the same Reinhard that he was throughout the story.
* HijackedByGanon: He essentially becomes the protagonist during the finale of Rea's route, realizing his true purpose and battling Mercurius in the route's climax.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Unlike most of the other members of the L.D.O, who were either soldiers lower on the hierarchy, civilians, or criminals apprehended by the Gestapo, UsefulNotes/ReinhardHeydrich was a prominent authority figure and one of the most brutal enforcers of the Nazi regime. While the rest of the L.D.O could be considered Nazis InNameOnly due to not being directly involved with Hitler or his genocidal ambitions, the same cannot be said for Heydrich, who was an active participant and orchestrator for the regime's pogroms and massacres.
* INeedYouStronger: Frequently let's Ren get away in order to allow him to grow stronger and become a more worthy adversary.
* InnBetweenTheWorlds: His Gladsheim is not part of the multiverse and has to be summoned back into the world through the ritual in Suwahara City.
* KillingIntent: His presence, even when he appears as a mere hologram-like shade of himself, is so intense and overwhelming that he makes people like Bey and Schreiber, who have never experienced fear in their lives, shake at their knees. When he first appears in person like this in the common route, both Ren and Kei freeze up like someone hit an off-switch on them.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WivfUd08Gw Götterdämmerung]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCK_v9n2O_0 Dies irae ”Mephistopheles”]].
* LightIsNotGood: One of his titles is the Harbinger of Beguiling Light.
* LivingIsMoreThanSurviving: Prior to meeting Mercurius, he was living a pretty dull and monotone life as a Nazi official, just doing what he was told to, acting as a sort of problem solver to whatever issues the Reich had. Back then he considered it the proper life. After some prodding by Mercurius he finally decides to accept himself and his power, wanting to feel properly alive. And as shown in Rea's route, in one timeline Mercurius didn't even bother being subtle and just stabbed him in the chest to force him to remember the prior timelines. This leads him to reflect on just how empty his life had been and just how suddenly it could have been ended, once again leading to his awakening.
* MoreThanMindControl: He's extremely charismatic, to the point where he can make other people kill themselves and join his Legion just by speech.
* MundaneUtility: His Legion substitutes as an experienced orchestra, as he shows off when he invites Marie for a dance in his Gladsheimr after stealing her from Ren briefly.
* NoChallengeEqualsNoSatisfaction: He is extremely powerful, so he wants to fight someone who is at least comparable to him.
* OneHitKill: See "Always accurate attack" above.
* OnlyTheChosenMayWield: His Ahnenerbe can only be used by him, as it works only for the most charismatic being in the world, which happens to be him.
* PerpetualFrowner: Back when he was still a regular Nazi officer he practically never broke from his constant frown. Then he met a man named Karl Krafft and things kinda changed.
* PerpetualSmiler: Following his meeting with Mercurius and his subsequent boost in power, he practically never loses his smile.
* RedBaron: The Hangman of Prague, The Golden Beast, The Harbinger of the Beguiling Light and The Monarch of Destruction are just some of his titles.
* StoryBreakerPower: Back before he become the man he is today, he could casually knock out superhumans like Bey in a single blow and send Beatrice flying with what might be roughly described as a gentle pat on the back. After his transformation, he's so ludicrously powerful that he can fight Kei and easily beat her with one finger, without the full extent of his power at his disposal. In the climax of Marie's route, every strike of his that Ren doesn't tank implodes the city and landscape behind him for dozens of miles.
* SuperEmpowering: If he wants, he can empower any LDO member. For example, he made Wilhelm comparable to Methuselah, despite Methuselah being stronger than Reinhard's Three Commanders, who are in turn much stronger than Wilhelm.
* TitleDrop: ''Dies Irae'' is the name of his Atziluth.
* TheUnfought: In Kasumi's route, he never materializes into the real world, and thus never faces off against Ren. Instead, he taunts Ren and Kasumi from his sealed-off castle in the route epilogue.
* UnblockableAttack: His Ahnenerbe, see 'Always Accurate Attack' above.
* WalkingSpoiler
* WarriorHeaven: Gladsheim for [[BloodKnight Blood Knights]].
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: At the end of Rea's Route, Lotus tells him that urges are just a part of being human and that there is nothing wrong for a person like him to have them.

[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here to see Kai]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sakurai_kai.jpg]][[/labelnote]]

[-'''Name''': Musashi Sakurai (I), Rei Sakurai (II), Kai Sakurai (III), Beatrice Waltrud von Kirscheisen (IV) \\
'''Rune''': ᚢ (Uruz)\\
'''Zodiac Sign''': ♉ (Taurus)\\
'''Major Arcana''': The Hierophant\\
'''Ewigkeit Degree''': Beri'ah\\
'''Ahnenerbe''': Wewelsburg Longinus -]

A series of wielders of the cursed Wewelsburg Longinus designed as a copy of Reinhard's Longinuslanze Testament and passed down by the Sakurai clan.
----
* AllThereInTheManual: Any info regarding Rei is sparse within the game itself. Most info about her is from some side info released at a later date relating to ''Dies Irae Pantheon''. The info reveals that she was an ActionGirl, contrasting with Kei who is more of the Graceful Warrior kind, Rei was more of the Gritty Solider kind. Additionally, for her the Wewelsburg Longinus took the shape of a enormous bayonet at the end of an equally massive rifle.
* TheBerserker: While normally calm due to being a hollow corpse, his fighting style is a brutal flurry of attacks with zero regard for self preservation. In Kei's route it becomes even more noticeable when part of the souls absorbed by the false lance start to surface and are hungry for vengeance.
* {{BFS}}: The Wewelsburg Longinus, unlike the lance that it was based on, is one huge slab of metal vaguely shaped like a sword.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Under Lisa's Ahnenerbe.
* EleventhHourRanger: Joins Ren's Legion for the FinalBattle in Rea's route.
* GoneHorriblyRight: Wewelsburg Longinus was an exact perfect copy of Reinhard's which included all of it's abilities. However, the abilities came with a curse. Because it copied Reinhard's Ahnenerbe so well it copied Legion related characteristic, which gradually turning the wielder into a living, zombified Legion in itself. Only a member of the Sakurai Clan could wield the replica, and the wielder's soul became bound to the Spear, eventually reaching a point when he or she zombifies into a mindless state.
* HereditaryCurse: The third of his family to become Tubal Cain.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Kai holds a very low opinion on himself, viewing himself as rotten to the core. This in turn influences his Beri'ah which causes everything around him to rot.
* InfinityMinusOneSword: Wewelsburg Longinus is designed as a replica to the real Longinus and includes the ability to [[AllYourPowersCombined wield multiple Beri'ah's due to it's curse]]
* LightningBruiser: No pun intended. The Wewelsburg Longinus gives him incredible striking power and being an undead makes him extremely resilient to damage. And when factoring in his lightning speed and ability to become lightning itself, it's clear that he is an all around powerhouse.
* MakeThemRot: One of the Creation Figments Cain can use causes basically everything within close proximity to start to rot.
* NameOfCain
* NiceGuy: Kai's a decent, upstanding man who's only really involved with the LDO because of his family connection.
* PoisonousPerson: The Sakurai's Creation Fragments all involve some sort of poisonous infection but Kai's allowing him to decompose anything he strikes while also having anything that touches him rot to dust (even attacks such as Wilhelm's stakes are unable to pierce through him while this is active).
* PromotionToParent: Kai, even though he was her older brother, acted more as a parent for his younger sister Kei alongside Beatrice.
* RideTheLightning: Able to use his lightning abilities to turn into lightning and move around blazingly fast.
* ShockAndAwe: His perhaps most recognizable form of attack is his black lightning as well as having the ability to turn into lightning itself making him unreasonably fast. This ability stems from the false lance having absorbed the soul of Beatrice.

!!!Voice by: Creator/KenNarita (Japanese), Creator/IanSinclair (English)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/malie_2014_10_11_16_16_00_124.png]]

[-'''Name''': Valerian Trifa\\
'''Rune''': ᛉ (Algiz)\\
'''Major Arcana''': The Lovers\\
'''Zodiac Sign''': ♊ (Gemini)\\
'''Ewigkeit Degree''': Beri'ah\\
'''Ahnenerbe''': Heilige Eohl-]

A priest born with the power to read minds, he acts as the Commander-in-Chief of the LDO and as Reinhard's body stand-in.

His Ahnenerbe is the Heilige Eohl, the Divine Vessel, the physical body of Reinhard Heydrich. Acting as its caretaker, it contains all the souls that Reinhard once absorbed, a number so vast that they collectively become so dense it is like comparing regular carbon to diamonds. This gives the body nearly impenetrable defenses, leaving any attacker with very limited options of which to hurt him.
----
* AffablyEvil: His cordial attitude isn't really a facade and he seems to be respectful to Ren such as congratulating him on keeping himself together when he met Reinhard by himself for the first time in Marie's and Rea's route.
* BadassPreacher
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Pretends to be just a harmless priest to Ren, despite being the Commander-in-Chief of the LDO.
* CasualDangerDialog: He is prone of just talking casually and calmly as enemies wail on him. Happens most notably when Cain goes postal on him all while he casually asks for Ren's and Kei's assistance in stopping him.
* TheChessmaster: A low key example given that he is up against the likes of Mercurius, but he plans and manipulates almost everyone in ways that are to further his goals. Unfortunately for him, he is often OutGambitted.
* DiscardAndDraw: He gets reverted back to his old body in Rea's route, meaning he loses all the power Divine Vessel provides, and regains his mind reading powers.
* DeadlyHug: He crushes Siegelinde in a deadly embrace.
* TheEmpath: In his original body, he can read other people's minds.
* EyesAlwaysShut: He only opens his eyes when he's serious.
* FalseReassurance: He promised Kai that he wouldn't make Kei into the next Tubal Cain. He never said anything about not making her a member of the L.D.O.
* FinalBoss: In Kasumi's route, he's the final opponent Ren faces, with Reinhard and his Battalion Commanders never showing up.
* GlassCannon: His Beri'ah allows him to use Reinhard's Ahnenerbe, which is the strongest Ahnenerbe in the entire novel, but it also brings his defense down to normal human.
* GradualGrinder: While he might have a near impenetrable defense, his offense leaves a lot to be desired. As such he often instead relies on the opponent tiring themselves out futilely smashing against his armor and then sneak in the occasional counter-strike, slowly wearing them down.
* HeelFaceTurn: In Rea's route, he decides to abandon his deranged obsession with repenting his sins for all eternity, choosing to take the fight straight to Reinhard and his Legion in order to permanently erase the threat of Dies Irae.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valerian_Trifa Valerian Trifa]].
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIeOOmAmtTk Lohengrin]].
* ManipulativeBastard: He easily manipulated everyone in the LDO, except for Mercurius, Reinhard and his Three Commanders.
* MindRape: In Rea's route, after having gotten back his old body, he uses his telecentic powers to wreck Schreibers mind.
* MundaneWish: Upon finally making it through a gauntlet to reach Reinhard, he stays true to his word and let Trifa state one wish. All Trifa wishes for is for Reinhard to talk to Isaak. Suffice to say, this leaves him momentarily dumbfounded over the wish's sheer banality. Unbeknownst to him however was that this was one final gambit by Trifa to throw of their plans and save Rea.
* NotSoDifferent: Points out to Schreiber that in the end, they might not be so different from each other as they are both walking contradictions, whose desires just lead them further and further away from their own ultimate goal.
* TheStarscream: Is constantly working behind the scenes to try and derail Reinhard's and Mercurius' plans for his own benefit despite appearing loyal to them.
* StealthExpert: Is extremely capable of concealing his own existence when skulking about, allowing him to get the jump on pretty much anyone.
* StoneWall: Reinhard's body gives him excellent defense (there are only 3 known ways to harm him), but he doesn't have any particular attack force in his base form.
* WildCard: To Reinhard and his legion, his ultimate plan involves sabotaging Reinhard's summoning without getting the three commanders involved. His real goal is keeping Rea alive and in Kei's and Kasumi's route, uses Kasumi instead as the Sonnenkind.

->"Ah, I need not the light of day, for the night shall be my chief domain. A true demon I long to be, reigning supreme in the dark of night; purged of this wicked bloodline's taint to be born anew as a maelstrom of carnage and terror and beauty - a phoenix born from midnight's ashes"

'''Zodiac Sign''': ♋ (Cancer)\\
'''Major Arcana''': The Chariot\\
'''Ewigkeit Degree''': Beri'ah\\
'''Ahnenerbe''': Qliphoth Bacikal -]

A man with a long criminal record who served as a First Lieutenant for the infamous 36th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS. An albino, he shuns all light, especially that of the sun. In return, all of his senses magnify in the darkness, almost as if he was a vampire. Having embraced that nature of his as part of his identity. Wilhelm's designation and fondness for vampiric characteristics is no coincidence.

His Ahnenerbe is Qliphoth Bacikal, the crystallized blood of UsefulNotes/VladTheImpaler, which he manifests as an endless number of stakes to skewer his enemies, use as projectiles, or as spears or stilts. Additionally they drain the life out of anyone unfortunate to become impaled.
----
* AntiHero / VillainProtagonist: In ''Interview with Kaziklu Bey''.
* ArchEnemy: Schreiber, despite the similarities, Wilhelm finds Schreiber disgusting and desires to kill him to achieve the Albedo knight status in Reinhard's commanders.
* AxCrazy: Goes without saying.
* BadMoonRising: His Creation Figment creates a blood red fake Moon.
* BlackEyesOfCrazy: In his Creation Figment, his sclerae become black.
* BloodKnight: The reason why he joined LDO is because he wants to fight anyone.
* BrotherSisterIncest: With his sister Helga.
* CastingAShadow: His Creation Figment, among other things, creates darkness in its range, which provides him some defense against the searing light of Claudia's.
* CoolShades: Has to wear shades due to his albinism, but he also wears them simply cause he despises the light.
* EvilAlbino: Born albino and is a pretty nasty piece of work.
* FlowerMotifs: Roses.
* GracefulLoser: In Kasumi's route he ends up saying some genuine praise to Shirou after being beaten by him.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9l_w7CUY3o Rozen Vamp]].
* LifeDrain: In his Creation Figment he starts to drain the life-force and abilities of everyone and everything caught within it.
* MoreDakka: Is able to spam his stake projectiles to an absurd degree. At one point in his battle with Schreiber, he is firing so many of them so densely that it would be physically impossible for Schreiber to squeeze in between them.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: He delivers one to Ren at their first meeting.
* NotSoDifferent: He notes that he and Schreiber are quite a bit alike when they first meet. This is also a big reason to why he hates the guy so much.
* OnlyAFleshWound: At one point he gets half his face blown off. It ends up not bothering him at all.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: His Beri'ah, Der Rosenkavalier Schwarzwald, allows him to absorb energy from everything, including souls and non-animate things in the range of hundreds of meters.
* PsychoForHire
* RedEyesTakeWarning In his Creation Figment, his irises turn red.
* RedSkyTakeWarning: In the range of his Creation Figment, the sky becomes red.
* TheRival: He and Schrieber have always been clashing before even the creation of the LDO since they were both [[SerialKiller serial killers]] at large at the same time.
* SayMyName: In ''Interview with Kaziklu Bey:
-->"CLAUDIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!"
* SelfMadeOrphan: He burned his own family alive for unknown reason.
* SerialKiller: What he was prior to joining the LDO.
* SexIsViolence: Thrives on this. When fighting Kei in her route, He describes his fight with her, using sexual terminology. When in the heat of battle, it goes to the point that his voice actor is orgasming as he does his lines.
* SirSwearsalot: By far the biggest pottymouth of the cast.
* SpikesOfDoom: His Ahnenerbe, Qliphoth Bacikal.
* SuperSenses: In his Beri'ah, he can sense everything in its range.
* ThrowTheDogABone: After getting [[MutualKill Mutual Killed by Shirou]] in Kasumi's route, and getting killed in the middle of two exhausting fights in Marie and Kei's route, Rea's route has Wilhelm become the last LDO member with the exception of Reinhard, Mercurius, and the Three Commanders, he finally gets his long awaited fight with Schreiber, and dies satisfied knowing he beat him.
* {{Touche}}: When confronting Jane Doe, he notes that she looks far to young to have faced him in Vietnam. She then retorts by the fact that he is in his seventies and still looks like he did fifty years prior. He couldn't help but respond with a quick "Ya got me there".
* UndyingLoyalty: He's devoted to Reinhard's cause, primarily because Gladsheim is an absolute paradise for someone like him.
* VampireVannabe: His defining trait is his desire to become a true vampire, something that manifests with his Beri'ah.
* WeaksauceWeakness: In his Beri'ah, he is vulnerable to crosses and silver, and his heart is his weak point.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart
* WorthyOpponent:
** Views Shirou as an opponent worth his time due to him being the only normal human Wilhelm has ever met that actually could put up a fight.
** Before that, he pledged his loyalty to Reinhard after being the first person to ever beat him in combat. Even going so far as to view as Reinhard TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou.

The descendant of a bloodline that allied with the Obsidian Round Table during World War II. She joined the Table to fill the spot left by a member who died eleven years prior. Furthermore, as her age - contrary to the other members - does actually match her appearance, she is too young to have met the five highest-ranking members of the Table.
----
* BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: She manages to kill Eleonore in Marie's route but not without being horribly injured and succumbing to the deadly effects of the Wewelsburg Longinus.
* DeadlyUpgrade: Eventually in Marie's route she decides to wield the Wewelsburg Longinus which slowly but surely starts to eat away at both her body and mind.

* FlamingSword: {{Hihiirokane}}.
* ItsAllAboutMe: While all of the L.D.O. members qualify to some extent, they at least don't try to hide it. Kei meanwhile is in constant denial about her selfishness, something that almost everyone calls her out on. Her CharacterDevelopment in her own route involves realising this and using it as determination for her goals
* LadyOfWar: Her looks and fighting style are graceful.
* HotBlooded: Normally she is fairly calm, however her Creation Figment is based on her belief that she is burning with passion which, due to how they work, leads to her becoming more and more hotheaded when she uses it.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0zSTHQUOoY Krieg]].
* MutualKill: Manages to kill Eleonore in Marie's route yet ends up dying from her wounds and the effects of the Wewelsburg Longinus.
* PlayingWithFire: Her creation figment causes her to become completely made of fire, giving her attacks additional strength and making any non conceptual attack against her useless.
* SinkOrSwimMentor: When she is commissioned by the rest of the LDO to get Ren into gear and teach him about the basics of Die Ewigkeit, after having gone over the theoretical stuff, she then pulls out a gun, continuously shooting Ren in the hand at point blank until he subconsciously cleaves the bench she was pinning him to.
%% * TearsOfJoy: When she gets reunited with Kai and Beatrice in the final battle of Rea's route.
* TheUnfettered: She's a self admitted "sore loser" who won't let anything stop her from reaching her goal. It's what fuels her Beri'ah, becoming a force of pure fire to blaze through anyone who gets in her way.
* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: Throws her sword at Rusalka in Kasumi's route impaling her and giving Ren an opening to behead her. She does it again in Marie's route with the Wewelsburg Longinus, impaling Eleonore through the neck.
* TokenGoodTeammate: As a result of joining the L.D.O at a young age, her body count is by far the lowest of the group, and even then she at least makes an effort to avoid killing those she deems innocent. However, this doesn't stop her from being complicit in the carnage her teammates commit, and she's perfectly willing to enact a massacre if the stakes are high enough.

[-'''Name''': Beatrice Waltrud von Kirscheisen\\
'''Rune''': ᛏ (Tiwaz)\\
'''Major Arcana''': Strength\\
'''Zodiac Sign''': ♌ (Leo)\\
'''Ewigkeit Degree''': Beri'ah\\
'''Ahnenerbe''': Thrud Walküre-]

Born into a family with a history of knighthood, Beatrice was raised to believe in honor and valor. As such, she dedicated her blade to her Fatherland and was a member of the German army in the midst of World War II. She fought as a skilled soldier under Eleonore von Wittenburg until they both were recruited into the LDO. However, Beatrice quickly became disgusted with the methods the group employed and began to plot to destroy them from within while hoping to free her former commander and best friend from the thrall of its leader, Reinhard Heydrich. She is presumably dead before the novel starts as her position was taken over by Kei, however it's a lot more complicated than that.

Her Beri'ah is Donner Totentanz, Walküre. Fueled by the desire to save her comrades and Eleonore, she becomes a being of pure lightning, gaining its speed and characteristics and making it difficult to attack her physically as she is as intangible and ephemeral as real lightning.
----
* ADayInTheLimelight: She's featured in four of the five side stories in Amantes Amentes usually as the protagonist or at least, important to the story.
* BefriendingTheEnemy: The reason why she joined LDO is that she wanted to save Eleonore from Reinhard's influence.
* ChristmasCake: At the end of Rea's route, when Marie resets the universe. She laments being this on being without a man on Christmas of all days.
* ElementalShapeshifter: In her Beri'ah, she becomes pure lightning, strong enough to split aircraft carries in half with her blade.
* EleventhHourRanger: Joins Ren's Legion for the FinalBattle in Rea's route.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Blonde hair, and is easily the most moral member of LDO.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: She muses that despite her young looks, she's really just an old lady on the inside.
* HopeBringer: Her Beri'ah is based on her wish of being a ray of hope for those on the battlefield and will constantly try to live up to that ideal.
* {{Intangibility}}: In her Beri'ah, she is untangible even to Ahnenerbe attacks, which inflict both physical and spiritual damage.
* JadeColoredGlasses: While she kept her idealism and kindhearted nature, she became much more serious and ruthless following her experiences in the L.D.O.
* LadyOfWar: She has an elegant fighting style, as opposed to characters like Wilhelm and Wolfgang.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-Qj-ybSpMY Thrud Walküre]].
* MotorMouth: Get her drunk and she will ramble on, fast.
* NiceGirl: Possibly the nicest character in the LDO.
* ParentalSubstitute: Acted as a sort of mother figure for Kei alongside Kai.
* RideTheLightning: She uses lighting as her element and is also the second fastest of all the L.D.O. members, something she achieves by using said lightning to move about.
* SealedGoodInACan: Her soul is sealed inside the Wewelsburg Longinus and is the reason to why Tubal Cain can use her lightning abilities.
* ShockAndAwe
* SuperSpeed: In her Beri'ah, she is stated to be the second-fastest member of the LDO after Schreiber.
* TokenGoodTeammate: She's an unfailingly idealistic woman who wants to ensure a brighter future for everyone who comes after her. Her decision to stick with the L.D.O even after their JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope is so that she can destroy it from the inside and liberate her former commander Eleonore.

Son of Reinhard and Lisa as well as Rea's grandfather. He acts as the core of Gladsheim and stabilizes its existence.
----
* BastardBastard: He's even referred to as the bastard of the castle in-text.
* EmotionlessBoy: He was basically meant as a core for Gladsheim, and as a result, emotions where pointless. A big part of his arc is awakening to them.
* GuardianEntity: He controls Gladsheim to protect Reinhard.
* HairAntennae: Just like his father he has a pair of strands sticking out from the rest of his hair.
* LukeYouAreMyFather: Reinhard didn't know he existed.
* SpannerInTheWorks: While there are quite a lot of spanners in Rea's route, Isaak is perhaps the biggest one due to his decision to brute-force the summoning of Gladsheim which allowed all the other spanners to go off.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Looks like a younger, androgynous version of his father.
* SupernaturallyYoungParent: Is Rea's grandfather yet looks barely older than her.

->"To perish is my heart's desire. I strive for the finality of death. As one who desires a complete and absolute end, my ironclad Transcendence is clouded by no impurity; I stand proud with fists that bring all life to a close."

'''Rune''': ᛚ (Laguz)\\
'''Major Arcana''': Justice\\
'''Zodiac Sign''': ♎ (Libra)\\
'''Ewigkeit Degree''': Beri'ah\\
'''Ahnenerbe''': Deus Ex Machina-]


One of Reinhard's Three Commanders. While almost all the members of the L.D.O. have a background before joining, Machina seemingly dosen't as not even he knows his real name. It's later revealed that he was the real life Michael Wittmann, a soldier from World War II who was forced into Reinhard's Gladsheim to fight to the death with other soldiers, ultimately he was forced to kill his best friend, Lotus Reichhart and had his soul split by Mercurius, one half desiring the beginning, the other desiring the end. Machina represents the end while the beginning eventually formed to become Ren. He serves as the Nigredo (Black) of Reinhard's Pentachroma.

He uses the Ahnenerbe Deus Ex Machina, a relic that is part of his very body and that was born from the Tiger II that he and Lotus burned to death inside. A passive Ahnenerbe, it allows Machina to bring whatever is hit by his fists to an end, canceling out whatever abilities the target might be using including defensive ones, resulting in him having some of the most hard hitting attacks of the L.D.O., attacks comparable to those of an artillery strike.
----
* AdaptationExpansion: In the anime, we get to see how his backstory in greater detail including his soul splitting to form Ren's.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: While none of the L.D.O. members can really be called human, Machina is a special case in that he has fused with his Ahnenerbe to the point that it is impossible to tell where he ends and the weapon starts. In fact, when Ren managed a strike against him, all that was visible under his skin was machinery. This is also the cause of his unusually strong defense.
* AntiMagic: Deus Ex Machina is able to cancel almost any ability that is hit by it by "bringing them to an end". This includes those that are normally intangible or have absurdly high defenses.
* ArmorPiercingAttack: His Ahnenerbe allows him, among other things, to ignore an enemies defenses. The lone exception to this is Ren's Time Armor.
* BadassBaritone: Considering who voices him, its no surprise.
* CloseRangeCombatant: Fights exclusively with his fists and lacks any sort of long range option.
* DeathSeeker: He is tired of battles and wants to die, but, since he is a part of Reinhard's Gladsheim, he can't.
* EleventhHourRanger: Joins Ren's Legion for the FinalBattle in Rea's route.
* EmptyEyes: Often described as having the eyes of a dead fish.
* EvilFormerFriend: He used to be the best friend of Ren's original incarnation, Lotus Reichhart.
* ForcedIntoEvil: He would have been content to die a warrior's death as his tank burst into flames during the war, but Reinhard had other plans for him.
* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** His spot in the round table is directly opposite of where Reinhard is. In Marie and Rea's route, during his first meeting with Reinhard, Ren decides to sit there, as an act of defiance, not knowing that he and Machina share a very big connection to one another.
** All but one of his fights in the novel are against Ren and in Rea's route, he also faces off against Rusalka. This is seemingly a coincidence until the end of Rea's route reveals that all three are all connected in Marie's new universe.
* HeelFaceTurn: In the true ending of Rea's route, he breaks away from Reinhard's legion and joins Ren's, after Ren realizes his true identity and acknowledges him as a friend and comrade.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Wittmann Michael Wittmann]]
* HumanShield: Variation. When fighting Trifa he constantly makes sure that he has Kasumi behind himself, thus preventing Trifa from using his Beri'ah lest he wants Kasumi to be caught in the crossfire.
* ICannotSelfTerminate: See 'Death Seeker' above.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLWROzoxEFU Einherjar Nigredo]].
* ManOfKryptonite: The way his powers work makes him a natural enemy of Reinhard, hence why at the round table, Machina's seat is placed facing opposite of him to symbolize this. Despite having this power, he refuses to use it on Reinhard due to his own views on what a proper death should be like.
* MightyGlacier: While he is lacking in speed compared to the other commanders, he more than makes up for it with his unrivaled striking power and impressive defenses.
* OneHitKill: His Beri'ah causes whoever hit by his fists to be brought to their conclusive end.
* RetGone: Not himself, but his Beri'ah allows him to erase the history of anything he hits.
* TheStoic: Never really emotes. Even in combat he remains calm.
* ShellShockedVeteran: Even in his backstory he was a very troubled veteran who doubted his ability to carry on after the war, making Lotus a bit of a LivingEmotionalCrutch for him. After having his soul robbed by Heydrich and being forced to participate in the deadly battles of Gladsheim, Michael ends up [[FightingYourFriend fighting his own friend to the death]] and crosses the DespairEventHorizon.
* UnblockableAttack: Trying to block his Beri'ah is nothing short of suicidal. Trying to dodge it is the only option while it is active.
* WarriorPoet: By far the most introspective of all the combatants in the novel, often musing about the nature of combat.

'''Ahnenerbe''': Die Blutgräfin: Elisabeth Bathory's Diary -]

An early member of the Deutsches Ahnenerbe - Nazi Germany's institute of archaeological and occult research - and a genuine witch who had stepped into the realm of sorcery even before joining the LDO. Her youthful appearance shelters one of the most ancient souls to have sworn loyalty to the Obsidian Round Table.

Despite being cunning and crafty at her core, she is playful and flirtatious on the outside, making her a very dangerous individual to associate with. She also has a fondness for torture and is known to be extremely moody. Though essentially not a fighter, her cruelty rivals even Wilhelm's.
----
* AxCrazy
* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: Was tortured by her superstitious neighbors. She notes that rather than the torture being used as a way to out her as a witch, the torture itself is what made her into one.
* BrokenBird
* CantCatchUp: Machina notes that the reason she constantly tries to drag others down is cause she feels like she will be left behind, that while everyone else are growing, she has stagnated. This revelation ends up completely shattering her will to fight.
* CastingAShadow: Her Nachtzehrer, which can immobilize and absorb her opponents.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Hit by this in the first three routes. Impaled by Kei's sword, then beheaded by Ren, in Kasumi's route. Offed by Cain under Trifa's orders in Kei's route. Ripped apart from the inside by Shirou, with Schreiber sadistically prolonging her suffering afterwards, in Marie's route.
* CustomUniform: Wears a more stylized version of the standard uniform compared to her peers.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: Get's killed of-screen in Kei's route without much fanfare.
* DualAgeModes: She is able to shift between her young form seen throughout most of the novel to a more physically mature form seen mostly in flashbacks.
* EleventhHourRanger: Joins Ren's Legion for the FinalBattle in Rea's route.
* EvilRedhead: An AxCrazy Witch who serves as one of the main villains and possesses Red hair.
* GoOutWithASmile: Dies with a smile on her face, with TearsOfJoy in her eyes, in Rea's route.
* HalfTheWomanSheUsedToBe: Get's effectively bisected after Shirou burst out of her gut and claims her Ahnenerbe for himself. She manages to use magic to stay alive but she makes the mistake of trying to plead help from Schrieber which only ends up making her situation worse.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Maria_Schwegelin Anna Maria Schwägelin]]
* HeelFaceTurn: The closest she gets to one is in the Rea route, but her reincarnations in the aftermath of both Marie's and Rea's endings are nice people who care deeply about their comrades.
* HotWitch: Especially in her adult form.
* ImmortalitySeeker: While she is effectively physically immortal, her soul is not and it is still aging. And it is reaching its limit. As such she is desperately looking for a way to allow her soul to endure, leading her to become a member of the L.D.O.
* LadyOfBlackMagic: On top of using Die Ewigkeit she also supplements it with a range of different unrelated magic spells to make her already dangerous spells all the more deadly.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Upon her confrontation with Volker:
-->"Schreiber was quite a piece of work, but... what the hell? Our audience must be seriously creeped out."
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PgRBhD_ntQ Deus Vult]].
* LoopholeAbuse: Normally, destroying someones Ahnenerbe will kill the user. Rusalka however is able to get around this since hers is made up of several distinct parts, thus the only way to kill her with that method is to destroy all of them. This is something Shirou ends up milking for all it's worth after he get's hold of it.
* LotusEaterMachine: Puts Ren in one in Rea's Route during an attempt to find the root of Ren's existence.
* LukeIAmYourFather: In Marie's world created at the end of Rea's Route, her reincarnation turns out to be Ren's great-grandmother, though she never reveals this to him.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Even compared to other LDO members (except Mercurius). She is over 200 years old.
* TheScapegoat: Was scapegoated by her neighbors as a Witch, erroneously blaming her for all of the misfortunes in their village.
* ShadowPin: Her Beri'ah allows her to lock down anyone else's movement in what is essentially a shadow swamp.
* TortureTechnician: Her Ahnenerbe, Die Blutgräfin, allows her to summon torture devices.
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: In her backstory, with the encouragements of a MysteriousBenefactor (Mercurius under a different identity). She accepts her nature as one who drags those above her down to the mud.
* ThrowTheDogABone: After receiving brutal ends in the past three routes, she gets a bone thrown in Rea's route. Due to how instantaneous Machina's powers work, she gets a relatively painless death, with Machina expressing genuine sympathy, if not envy for her case. Later [[note]]after being cast down to become the sixth swastika)[[/note]], realizing she actually managed to catch up to Lotus, she dies happy and content.
* UnresolvedSexualTension: With Lotus.
* WickedWitch: After accepting her nature after being persecuted, she becomes a TortureTechnician and evil spell user of the LDO.
* WitchHunt: A victim of one. Specifically it was used as pretext for excessive torture, public humiliation, and unjust imprisonment at the hands of her superstitious, envious neighbors.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: She has red hair.
* YourDaysAreNumbered: While she is physically immortal, her soul is still aging. And being the oldest member of the entire L.D.O. by a wide margin, discounting Mercurius, means that she is approaching the end of her life despite her efforts to avert it.

[-'''Name''': Eleonore von Wittenburg\\
'''Rune''': ᛋ (Sowilo)\\
'''Major Arcana''': Temperance\\
'''Zodiac Sign''': ♐ (Sagittarius)\\
'''Ewigkeit Degree''': Beri'ah\\
'''Ahnenerbe''': Der Freiscütz Samiel-]

A soldier, first and foremost. Eleonore acted as a Lieutenant for Berlin and was Beatrice's superior for when they were both recruited by the LDO. While all the members had given their loyalty to Reinhard, Eleonore stood out as being especially loyal to his cause. Anything he says will be carried out by her to the best of her ability, no exceptions. She holds a very high standard and if her opponent doesn't come up to it, she'll consider them fodder and won't even form her Yetzirah to fight them.

One of Reinhard's Three Commanders. She serves as the Rubedo (Red) of Reinhard's Pentachroma.
----
* AlwaysAccurateAttack: The true form of her Beri'ah.
* BerserkButton: ''Never'' insult Reinhard or her loyalty to him.
* {{BFG}}: Her Ahnenerbe is Dora, the monstrously big railway cannon made by the Germans during the second world war.
* BloodKnight: Her desire is to fight for Reinhard's glory for eternity.
* CombatClairvoyance: Her battle experience is so high that she can predict Beatrice's movements with her eyes closed.
* ContraltoOfDanger: Has the deepest voice among the female LDO, and one of the most dangerous.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Has red eyes to go with her red hair.
* EvilRedhead: A very nasty member of the L.D.O. and the only one that is blatantly racist and also happens to have red hair.
* FatalFlaw: Pride. She looks down on almost everyone not named Reinhard and as a result, rarely fights seriously, something that Kei tries to capitalize on in her fight against Eleonore.
* FemaleMisogynist: Despises other women apart from a select few, especially those that try to fight, due to viewing them as not understanding the nature of war. When Kei point's out the inherent contradiction of her statement, Eleonore simply scoffs at her, telling her to not lump each-other together and that as one of Reinhard's Einherjar she is something more. This misogyny is also a source of her hatred for Lisa, viewing her as a disgrace.
* TheFettered: As she admits, the source of her power is her loyalty to Reinhard.
* TheFundamentalist: Suffice to say, not only does she view everyone who don't view Reinhard with the same loyalty and fervor as she does with scorn, she outright thinks that everyone who don't are close to insane for not doing so.
* IAmNotLeftHanded: Beatrice thought she couldn't use her Beri'ah in Gladsheim; she later proves it wrong by releasing its true form.
* InTheBlood: She comes from the family of hereditary knights for whom fighting was everything.
* HiddenDepths: Turns out [[TheGadfly she's quite the tease and enjoys messing with Beatrice when their simply normal people]]. Beatrice is also only person Eleonore can talk to mutually (her relationship with Lisa is... complicated).
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJkUFgk4Sqg Einherjar Rubedo]].
* LongRangeFighter: Fights exclusively using ranged weaponry or traps and will often retreat backwards to maintain distance between herself and her opponent.
* MoreDakka: Any opponent she deems unworthy, she simply mows down with machine-gun fire, lots and lots of machine-gun fire.
* NotSoStoic: Normally calm and collected, after Kei manages to land a solid hit on her in Marie's route, she completely looses it and summons Der Freiscütz Samiel despite it being more than overkill at that point in the fight.
* OnlyAFleshWound: At one point she get's to experience Marie's curse firsthand after touching her while Ren was unconscious. She simply scoffs at Marie after which she puts her head back into place.
* PlayingWithFire: The shoots of her Ahnenerbe generate explosions which temperature exceeds tens of thousands degrees.
* RapunzelHair: Her ponytail now reaches her hips.
* ScarsAreForever: Even though, like all Die Ewigkeit users, she has HealingFactor, her face burn hasn't healed even in 60 years.
* SmokingIsCool: Considering that tobacco (just like alcohol and poison) is stated to not have any effect on Ewigkeit users, it's likely she has no reason to smoke except to [[RuleOfCool look cool]].
* SpontaneousWeaponCreation: While almost all characters create weapons out of thin air, Eleonore fights almost exclusively by generating weapons of all kinds to mow down her opposition, everything from machine-guns, landmines and panzerfaust's.
* StatuesqueStunner: She's 1.80m tall, easily the tallest female character, and without the scars she would be pretty attractive.
* TanksButNoTanks: Her Ahnenerbe, Der Freiscutz Samiel, is not a tank, but a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwerer_Gustav railway gun]].
* UndyingLoyalty: To Reinhard.
* WeaponizedTeleportation: The true form of her Beri'ah teleports her target to the interior of her cannon, a dimension of scorching flames.

----
* AdaptationExpansion: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. In the anime he gets a few extra scenes showing him and Ren's father together as Ren is being created, but other than that he ends up as early fodder all the same.
* AllWebbedUp: His Ahnenerbe is a web which allows him to bound humans and choke them to death.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Spider, obviously.
* DanceBattler: Somewhat, when he is evasive then his movement is described as that of a tap-dancer and all-in-all being very graceful when he fights properly.
* DirtyCoward: Acts like a big shot when Ren is trapped in his strings, but as soon as Ren gains the upper hand, he quickly screams for mercy. Neither Ren nor Trifa grant him any.
* JerkassHasAPoint: At one point in the story, Ren notes that Spinne's offer to join forces suddenly sounds a lot more appealing upon witnessing just what kind of monstrous beings the top brass of the L.D.O. really are. At the very least he admits that Spinne's fear of them was well justified.
* MilesGloriosus
* NoNameGiven: His real name is unknown.
* NotQuiteDead: Survives his bout with Ren, noting that Ren should have made sure he was dead. Unfortunately for Spinne, Father Trifa has other plans and kills him soon afterwards.
* RazorFloss: His strings can also slice humans and even buildings.
* SacrificialLamb: He's the first L.D.O member to get incapacitated by Ren, dying very early into the Common Route long before any divergence occurs. It turns out that Valeria Trifa quite literally intended for him to be the sacrifice for the second Swastika.
* TacticalWithdrawal: In one of the sidestories, his cowardice is described in a more favorable light. Since he is so weak and cowardly, he has developed sharp instincts to danger and is far less overconfident than his comrades. All this proves quite useful when Doppeladler manages to disable all of their defenses.

* NunTooHoly: While she acts as a nun at the church, it's just a front and is in actuality a necromancer and carries the nickname of the Whore of Lebensborn.
* ParentalFavoritism: She loathed Isaak due to just how similar he was to his father, and as a result she worked hard to conceal the existence of Johan to protect him. This extends to their grandchildren where she hates Rea for sharing Isaak's blood while wanting for Kasumi to survive. This puts her at odds with Trifa who wants to sacrifice Kasumi to save Rea.

One of Reinhard's Three Commanders. Serves as the Albedo (White) of Reinhard's Pentachroma.
----
* AmbiguousGender: Biologically, he was born as a male but raised as ''both'' male and female. He also has the name of "Anna". In Marie's ending however, Schreiber was born and raised female from the beginning.
* AbusiveParents: He was castrated and sent to a public house to serve as a prostitute by his own parents.
* AxCrazy: One of the most insane members of the LDO. Even Rusalka and Wilhelm look sane compared to him.
* TheBerserker: Whenever he looses it and goes more insane than usual he fights with a reckless fervor driven by a maddened blood-lust with zero consideration for anything.
* BreakingSpeech: Gives one to Valeria in Rea's Route, only to be given one in return by Valeria.
* BloodKnight: "Hmmm? Do I need a reason? I'm here because I'm a soldier, much like yourself. War is our profession, murder our currency."
* BottomlessMagazines: His guns are able to never run dry on ammo. And this mixed with an abnormally high rate of fire allows him to pump his poor victims full with bullets.
* CrossDressingVoices
* DarkAndTroubledPast: See 'Abusive parents' above.
* EunuchsAreEvil: Deconstructed, since his brutal mistreatment and castration is precisely ''why'' he tips over the edge and becomes AxCrazy. In the epilogue of Marie's route, Schreiber is reincarnated as a woman in future-day Germany and is a perfectly affable GenkiGirl.
* EyepatchOfPower: His eyepatch covers the eyesocket which holds the many souls he had absorbed.
* EvilAlbino
* ForTheEvulz: Often commits atrocities on whatever whim comes over him without rhyme or reason.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Conducts brutal massacres all the while reciting poetry with a smile on his face. This is most apparent in Sakurai's route, wherein a he decides to comply with a curious public's desire to have him dance with Rusalka, only to kill them all seconds later.
* ForeignLanguageTirade: Whenever he starts to become more wild and deranged than normal he often reverts back to his native German.
* FreudianExcuse: Being castrated and abused by his mother, including her gouging his eye out, as well as being a sex-worker since a young age certainly didn't do his sanity any favors.
* GunsAkimbo: Uses two handguns in tandem during combat. A Luger P08 in one hand and a Mauser C96 in the other.
* HatesBeingTouched: He hates being touched so much that it forms the basis for his Creation Figment where he always faster than his opponent.
* InsaneTrollLogic: While a good chunk of the cast can be called insane, Schreiber is by far the worst. This is no more apparent whenever he tries to state anything even remotely resembling an argument, all that he produces is a nonsensical tirade to justify his lust for slaughter. This is made especially apparent in Marie's route where Rusalka pleads to him to save her life, only for him to twist it into killing her in the name of love in order to allow him to be able to enact a nonexistent revenge on Shirou.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yg7W8cbypiM Einherjar Albedo]].
* LogicalWeakness:
** His Creation Figment makes it so that no one can touch him. However this also goes in reverse leading to him being unable to touch anyone else. Normally he get's around this by using ranged weaponry or just the vicious gales generated by his speed, but in Rea's route where his mind is destroyed he straight up breaks his own Figments rules by using physical attacks. This leads to his limbs being destroyed just to make sure the rule he has imposed stays in effect. GoodThingYouCanHeal indeed.
** Another way to cripple him is to somehow manage to pin him down so that his speed becomes useless, though that is easier said than done.
* OneSteveLimit: He is the second character named "Anna" aside from Rusalka. PlayedForLaughs in ''Omnia vincit Amor'', as both bore the real name of "Anna". Schreiber was referred as "White Anna"
* OxymoronicBeing: As Trifa manages to point out, Schreiber's desire to not be touched ultimately stems from a desire to be embraced and loved. The revelation of this contradiction ends up destroying what is left of Schreiber's mind.
* PowerMakesYourHairGrow: Whenever he starts to go more insane than usual his hair will start to gain length on top of starting to glow, and usually this is accompanied with a huge boost in power as whatever restraint he had left goes down the drain.
* PsychoForHire: Subverted, after getting consumed by Heydrich, he's his loyal servant through and through. Not to mention, slaughter and unwanton destruction are completely in line with Reinhard's 'Modus Operandi'. In Kei's route, however, Trifa, does not condone him squandering potential sacrifices, eliminates him from the ritual as a result.
* SplitPersonality
* SuperPowerLottery: Him being faster than any opponent might seem simple but it is absolutely deadly. He can outspeed even Eine Faust Finale Ren who slows down time while also speeding himself up due to his Beri'ah.
* SuperSpeed: His Beri'ah allows him to be always faster than his opponent (it also includes [[SuperReflexes his reflexes]]).
* TearsOfBlood: Whenever he get's sufficiently agitated, blood will start to stream out of his eye socket, providing an effect similar to tears.
* UnstoppableRage: In his Beri'ah, he can only be calmed down by Reinhard.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart

Although his position could be considered that of a mentor and a father, the other LDO members - with the exception of their master - shun him as a hateful taboo. His whereabouts have remained a mystery for the past six decades.
----
* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: He is hated by all characters of the novel except for Reinhard and Marie.
* AltumVidetur: Whenever he invokes his powers, he makes great use of this, mainly through various Latin prases and sayings.
* AnimalMotifs: Snakes.
* AbstractApotheosis: As a Hegemonic God, he is the personification of his [[EternalRecurrence Law]].
* BigBad: Shares this role with Reinhard, being responsible for all the conflicts of the novel.
* BlackSpeech: The (Latin) language he uses for his attacks.
* TheBadGuyWins: In Marie's and Rea's routes, he ends up with a satisfactory outcome, while also ensuring that the destructive cycle he's been perpetuating will end for good. In Marie's route, though he survives, his world is overwritten by Marie's emanation, relieving him of the curse of foreknowledge and allowing him to experience everything anew, even if he's relegated to a mere shade who's been partially banished from the world. In Rea's route, he dies in Marie's embrace after facing off against Reinhard and (possibly) Ren.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: He's implied to have originally been a being who's thirst for being all-knowing culminated in him creating a world that served this exact need. He regrets this to the point of orchestrating the world's destruction and rebirth just to free himself from his curse.
* CharacterFilibuster: He really likes to run his mouth for long stretches of time. At one point he even lampshades it in a prose laden tirade that can basically be summarized as "I talk too much".
* TheChessmaster: He has planned all events of the novel.
* CreateYourOwnHero: Deliberatly created Ren with the intention of him being the antagonist towards Reinhard as well as the vessel to allow Marie to reach godhood.
* DeathSeeker: He was born as a being who desired to know of everything. As a result, he became a god, and since a god can't experience the unknown, he wants to die, but he can't kill himself. All events of the novel are actually his plan to die at Marie's hand.
* DeityOfHumanOrigin: As with all gods of the Throne, he was once a regular human who managed to emanate his own law across the universe.
* FinalBoss: Of the Rea route.
* {{God}}: Is the god of the multiverse and has complete dominion over all of creation. Additionally, due to the nature of his law, he is essentially the father of alternate dimensions and timelines.
* GodInHumanForm: His real body is bound to the Throne, as such he has to use a human avatar to interact with mortals.
* GodWasMyCoPilot: While he tries to present himself as a simple magician, it is clear to all who meet him that something isn't right about his existence. He is eventually revealed to be the god of the multiverse acting under an alias.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Most of his aliases refer to famous historical figures.
* ICannotSelfTerminate: As a Hadou God, he can do almost anything except for killing himself.
* IHaveManyNames: Karl Ernst Krafft, Alessandro Cagliostro, Hermes Trismegistus, Count of St. Germain, Michel de Nostredame, Paracelsus, Johann Georg Faust, Christian Rosenkreuz, Albertus Magnus and many others.
* ILoveYouBecauseICantControlYou: Towards Marie.
* LaughingMad: At the end of her route, Marie acting against his predictions and not killing him causes Mercurius to break out in an uncontrollable laughter, described as sounding like the final cry of a dying man, as his corporeal body breaks down.
* TheManBehindTheMan: While Reinhard is the story's main villain, it is Mercurius that makes it all possible and guides him from behind the scenes.
* TheOmniscient: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]]. Since he was born as a god and knows everything, he can't experience anything new, as if everything which happens had already happened and thus he can't enjoy anything, so he wants to die. See also 'Death seeker' above.
* OnlyFriend: To Marie at first. She eventually gains some more while Mercurius is left with Reinhard as his only friend.
* ParadoxPerson: Became a God in the moment of his death so that he could become a god after that.
* PrescienceIsPredictable
* RealityWarper: Holds absolute dominion over all of existence and as such can manipulate time and space on a cosmic scale as freely as breathing. In the final battle he does things such as force all planets to align, creating and killing stars to create super novas, and even weaponizing [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Attractor the Great Attractor]].
* RedBaron: His perhaps most distinct title is "The Allfather and Master of All Existence".
* SaveScumming: His Law returns Time to his very beginning.
* StalkerWithACrush: To Marie.
* StarPower: Several of his attacks are throwing thousands of stars at his opponents.
* TheUnfought: He's never fought or killed in any route other than Rea's.
* TimeAbyss: He is as old as the universe itself, and this is not counting the timelines.
* TimeyWimeyBall: Because of his Law and general Existence, his entire era can be described as one.
* VoiceOfTheLegion: He sounds like this when he invokes his attacks in the FinalBattle.
* WalkingSpoiler: Difficult to talk about this guy without revealing major late-game spoilers.

[[redirect:ShinzaBanshoSeries]]

* CastingAShadow: His Creation Figment, among other things, creates darkness in its range, which provides him some defense against Claudia's.
* EnergyAbsorption: In his Creation Figment he starts to drain the life-force and abilities of everyone and everything caught within it.

* OnlyAFleshWound: At one point he gets half his face blow off. It ends up not bothering him at all.

* ForTheEvulz: Often commits atrocities on whatever whim comes over him.

* InsaneTrollLogic: While a good chunk of the cast can be called insane, Schreiber is by far the worst. This is no more apparent whenever he tries to state anything even remotely resembling an argument, all that he produces is a nonsensical tirade to justify his list for slaughter. This is made especially apparent in Marie's route where Rusalka pleads to him to save her life, only for him to twist it into killing her in the name of love in order to allow him to be able to enact a nonexistent revenge on Shirou.

* AmbiguousGender: Biologically, he was born as a male but raised as ''both'' male and female. He also has the name of "Anna". In Marie's ending however, [[spoiler:Schreiber was born and raised female from the beginning]].

* EunuchsAreEvil: Deconstructed, since his brutal mistreatment and castration is precisely ''why'' he tips over the edge and becomes AxCrazy. In the epilogue of Marie's route, Schreiber is reincarnated as a woman in modern-day Germany and is a perfectly affable GenkiGirl.
* EyepatchOfPower: His eyepatch holds the many souls he had absorbed.

* ForTheEvulz

* OneSteveLimit: He is the second character named "Anna" aside from Rusalka. PlayedForLaughs in [[spoiler:''Omnia vincit Amor'', as both bore the real name of "Anna". Schreiber was referred as "White Anna"]]
* OxymoronicBeing: As Trifa manages to point out, [[spoiler:Schreiber's desire to not be touched ultimately stems from a desire to be embraced and loved. The revelation of this contradiction ends up destroying what is left of Schreiber's mind]].

!!Jane Doe/[[spoiler:Eileen Cartwright]]

* LivingIsMoreThanSurviving: Prior to meeting Mercurius, he was living a pretty dull and monotone life as a Nazi official, just doing what he was told to, acting as a sort of problem solver to whatever issues the Reich had. Back then he considered it the proper life. After being stabbed in the chest by Mercurius, he ended up reflecting on just how empty his life had been and just how suddenly it could have been ended. This lead to him wanting to defy this and deciding that he wanted to feel truly alive, leading to him awakening as the Golden Beast.

* TheRedBaron: The Hangman of Prague, The Golden Beast, The Harbinger of the Beguiling Light and The Monarch of Destruction are just some of his titles.

* TheRedBaron: His perhaps most distinct title is "The Allfather and Master of All Existence".
