History Characters / EiyudenChronicleHundredHeroes

!Daphan Village

* MyKungFuIsStrongerThanYours: He requires that an active party member have a PWR stat that's around 200 before he'll be convinced to join the Alliance.

->A Steeryn with a penchant for card games, who arrives at the castle HQ to challenge Nowa once he becomes a threat to her skill level.

* HornedHumanoid: Shixeen is a 'Steeryn', a type of BeastMan who appears demonic and minotaur-esque, but is actually playful and engaging in personality.

!!Lakian Arkathies Fawud
->Head of the Elves Council, Lakian is a well-respected elven ruler who joins forces with the Alliance.

* TheAce: Lakian is consdered among his people to be a cunning diplomat, shrewd leader, excellent archer, and deeply caring soul.

->A Steeryn treasure hunter and friend of Quinn, he lives for the next potential find and is always searching for new leads.

* HornedHumanoid: Dijkstra is a 'Steeryn', a type of BeastMan who appears demonic and minotaur-esque, but is actually peaceful and quite learned in personality.

->'''Voiced by''': Chiaki Kobayashi (Japanese), Rhiannon Mousall (English)

* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: What his attempt to kill Nowa after the Alliance's victory over Aldric's army boils down to, regardless of whether or not you manage to recruit all 119 heroes up to that point. [[spoiler:Either Parrielle winds up TakingTheBullet to protect Nowa (less than 119), or Leene leaps in and deflects the arrow, preventing any deaths (all 119).]] Either way, his attempt at turning the Alliance's greatest triumph into a PyrrhicVictory fails.

* EskimoLand: Rudy's hometown is an polar region of Norristar and he and his people are dressed in clothing very suggestive of Inuit and other indigenous peoples.

!Forests and Trails
!!Yusuke
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yusuke_5.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Big Dreamer!'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Shohei Kajikawa (Japanese), Creator/CalebYen (English)

->A former outlaw who has shed his criminal ties, now only wanting to convince the world of his greatness.

* DiscOneNuke: He can be recruited the moment you can travel to Xialuke Gate, and his ability to spend turns charging up his attack means he's capable of hitting insane damage numbers that other characters will struggle to match at that point.
* FaceOfAThug: He's first encountered getting accosted by guards for his rough appearance. Nowa stepping in to defend him encourages him to join him.
* FriendToAllChildren: He is very close to Faye, and doesn't want Nowa to hurt her, even if she's stealing food.
* ExtremityExtremist: He only fights with kicks, and not even fancy martial arts: His only attack is a single push kick. According to his background, he started doing it after a fight with Iugo, who convinced him that fighting with his fists was too uncouth for him.
* TheIdealist: Yusuke is a very upbeat, positive character, and is deeply convinced of his own future greatness -- he's sure he's going to make it "big" someday, and senses that Nowa is his pathway to achieving his goals.
* JapaneseDelinquents: Yusuke is based on a classic Japanese "banchou" or gang leader, down to his outfit, DelinquentHair, and his hands-rammed-in-pockets stance.
* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: Because of his punk look, Yusuke is often assumed to be up to no good, but he's an honourable person at heart.
* {{Sarashi}}: He sports one as part of his delinquent look.

!!Wyler
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wyler.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''Kindhearted Hunter'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Junta Terashima (Japanese), Greg Jones (English)

->A capable and pleasant ranger who travels with his little sister Marin.

* BigBrotherInstinct: Wyler adores his younger sister, Marin, and is incredibly protective of her, taking up his bow in her defence whenever required. As Marin has a habit of wandering off to gather herbs and getting herself in trouble in the process, this is a fairly regular occurrence.
* {{Expy}}: As a sweet-natured ForestRanger who wields a bow in battle, Wyler is ''Eiyuden'''s nod to Kinnison from ''Suikoden II''.
* LongRangeFighter: As an archer, he fights from the back row and is vulnerable up close.
* MasterArcher: When joining Nowa's squad, he notes that he "never misses his mark". In gameplay, this translate to a deadly (and very rare) level 1 rune-skill, which can kill a standard enemy dead in one hit.
* NatureHero: A true-hearted young archer with an indigenous warrior vibe who fights to protect his woodland homeland.

!!Marin
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/marin_3.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''Gatherer Girl'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Akiha Matsui (Japanese), Hara Yannas (English)

-> A pleasant young woman with a knack for finding rare plants and a knack for all things herbalism. She travels with her big brother Wyler.

* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Marin is a expert herbal remedy gatherer, but is distracted by "shiny" things, meaning that she's prone to wandering off and getting in trouble.
* BigBrotherWorship: Marin adores her very protective older brother, Wyler, insisting he is the best big brother in the world.
* DamselInDistress: When first encountered, she's wandered off from her brother Wyler and is being menaced by a Plantvine -- until Nowa and his party save the day.
* FeminineWomenCanCook: She's dainty, delicate, and the food she makes is delicious.
* HealingHerb: Her specialty; Marin is an expert medicinal herb gatherer.
* NatureHero: Her weapon of choice is special herbs that cause damage.

!!Kerrin
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kerrin_6.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''Full Force Lumberjack'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Michiko Kaiden (Japanese), Stacy Sobieski (English)

->A mighty woodswoman who lives in the Dappled Forest and will agree to join the Alliance should Nowa bring her some lumber.

* AmazonianBeauty: Kerrin is absolutely ripped, and one of the buffest women in the game (if not ''the'' buffest), though she still sports a pretty feminine face and a brief outfit that shows off her figure. Despite this she's not a warrior and is recruited solely to be a lumberjack.
* FetchQuest: A very easily-accomplished one at that, as the 20 piles of lumber she requests Nowa gather to prove his strength before she'll join are scattered a short jog from her cabin.
* MightyLumberjack: Kerrin is a buff woodswoman, and uses her huge axe to help with HQ building projects.

!!Maureus
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maureus_3.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Muscle Magician'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/ShinichirouKamio (Japanese), Alexander Devrient (English)

-> A supposed mage who has vastly misunderstood the meaning of the word, instead devoting his "magic" to his muscles.

* TheAhnold: Between the strong resemblance physically, the intense focus on building his muscles, and an overly exaggerated Austrian accent, Maureus is pretty clearly one big reference to Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger (with his intelligence about twenty notches lower).
* CarryABigStick: It might ''look'' magical, but considering who it is who's wielding it, it would create more fire as kindling. Its true use is as a bludgeon that Maureus can use to beat the tar out of his enemies with.
* DumbMuscle: The man is about as sharp as a sphere, and has a limited understanding about much beyond physical training.
* HeroWorshipper: Back when he was a child, he was saved by Momo which led to him wanting to become a mage.
* IneptMage: Played with in his backstory, where it's stated that while he has no talent with conventional magic, he is skilled in body enhancement magic which led to him equating brute strength with magical power.
* MagicallyIneptFighter: PlayedForLaughs. Despite claiming to be a mage and requiring a party member with a sufficiently high MP stat to recruit, he has an absolutely pitiful magic stat, rock bottom compatibility with all magic runes, and he firmly believes in training his MP (which stands for "Muscle Points.") What he does bring to the table, however, is an immense physical attack. Despite this, he does have Hero Combos with other actual mages such as Momo, Mellore and Gieran.

!!Fume
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fume_8.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''Fiery Spirit!'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Taisuke Nakano (Japanese), Taifien Sussex (English)

-> A passionate wannabe guild leader found wandering around the Dappled Woods on the fringes of Grum County, who joins the Alliance as an opportunity to work with legendary guild runner, Gocteau.

* ChildhoodFriends: He, Enoe, and Larla have known each other since childhood, and still share a strong bond.
* HeroWorshipper: He joins the Alliance purely so he can work alongside his hero Gocteau at the HQ AdventureGuild.
* HotBlooded: He speaks in an enthusiastic, superlative tone, and when very excited (usually when discussing guilds), he suddenly sports SupernaturalGoldEyes -- which is vaguely alarming, but it's purely to demonstrate his passion.
* IntrepidMerchant: He wants to be as successful as Gocteau and relishes the chance to work alongside his hero.
* StayingAliveDancePose: As seen in his artwork, passionate, fiery Fume is something of a visual nod to Creator/JohnTravolta.
* UtilityPartyMember: Fume, Larla, and Enoe fill a certain niche role in the game's AdventureGuild by being special 'Guild Deputies', which means that whilst they are neither available for the active PlayerParty, nor are they {{Support Party Member}}s or HQ merchants, they do have ''excellent'' stats for doing the various Guild Missions that Gocteau organises. Fume specialises in Physical Strength missions, holding an S-rank.

!!Chandra
[[quoteright:844:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chandra_7.png]]
[[caption-width-right:844:''Legendary Dragon'']]
->'''Voiced by''': N/A

->A dragon whose natural rune lens goes berserk inside of it, threatening travelers of the Eldroad until Nowa and Code L calm her.

* BreathWeapon: Naturally, as a dragon, she can breathe fire, and her 'Rune of Heat Breath' is a devastating blast that hits all enemies.
* DefeatEqualsFriendship: When encountered, her overwhelming power causes her to lash out at Nowa, meaning he has to fight her to calm her down.
* GiantFlyer: Chandra is one of the game's large characters, taking up two slots on the front row. Her powerful attacks and Hero Combo with Nowa makes up for the deficiency of a sixth character.

!Abandoned Mine
!!Ormond
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ormond.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''Miserly Miner'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Masaki Nakanishi (Japanese), Andres Williams (English)

->A Dwarven miner who can be recruited if he's given enough iron ores.

* FetchQuest: He'll only join Nowa's party if he's brought 3 samples of iron ore as proof of good faith.
* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: He's about as archetypal a dwarf as it gets; big bushy beard, gruff tone, encountered in a mine, and wielding a big pickaxe.
* PunnyName: ''Or''mund is a miner, a profession that deals with extracting ''ore'' from rocks.

!!Galdorf
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/galdorf.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''Young Dwarf Soldier'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Takuya Abe (Japanese), Greg Jones (English)

->A dwarf hanging out in the entrance of the Abandoned Mines looking for a suit of armor.

* CommonalityConnection: His unlockable background states that he feels a sense of kinship with King Euma of Euchrisse since he also used to be timid and weak-willed when he was younger and sees the King's hidden reserves of personal strength.
* FetchQuest: He joins the Alliance if Nowa brings him a set of Palenight Armour.
* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: Like Ormond, he's a classic Tolkien-style dwarf, albeit a bit more battle-ready than his dwarven comrade. Like classic fantasy series dwarves, he's also terrible with magic, and has a 'bad' affinity with all elements, especially water.

!!Hiro
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hiro_65.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''Free-Range Merchant'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/YojiUeda (Japanese), Kyle Omori (English)

->A wandering merchant found in the Abandoned Mines, who sets up shop with Nowa's army on a whim once asked.

* CoatFullOfContraband: Invoked in the way he opens his cape to show his wares, but his items are all legitimate.
* MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold: On initial inspection, Hiro appears dodgy and shady, what with him being encountered deep in an abandoned mine, his slightly unsettling expression, and the fact he offers goods stashed inside his cloak like a stolen watch dealer. However, he's a legitimate trader and far nicer than appearances alone suggest.
* WeBuyAnything: He opens an item store at HQ, once recruited.
* WeSellEverything: His store carries any item that has been found available in any other item store already visited by Nowa.

!!Durlan
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/durlan.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''Stone-Tough Stonemason'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Ikkyu Juku (Japanese), Simon Gregor (English)

->A crotchety old man found in the deepest recesses of the Abandoned Mine, who joins the Alliance to work at Gocteau's Mission Guild.

* GrumpyOldMan: When Nowa discovers him beavering away deep in the mines, he's irritable at being disturbed, but joins the Alliance nonetheless.
* UtilityPartyMember: Durlan fills a certain niche role in the game's AdventureGuild by being a special 'Guild Deputy', which means that whilst he is neither available for the active PlayerParty, nor is he a SupportPartyMember or HQ merchant, he does have ''excellent'' stats for doing the various Guild Missions that Gocteau organises. Durlan specialises in Physical Strength missions, holding an S-rank.

!!Aleior
[[quoteright:811:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aleior.png]]
[[caption-width-right:811:''Free-Flying Griffin'']]
->'''Voiced by''': N/A

-> A griffin known to Marisa, she convinces Nowa to help seek him out in the Abandoned Mine to ensure he isn't hunted by worried villagers.

* TheArchmage: As a fantastic creature, Aleior has exceptional magical affinity, with a +20 in all elements bar Earth (which is still a respectable +10).
* GiantFlyer: Aleior is one of the game's large characters, taking up two slots on the front row.
* IconicItem: He wears a blue bandana on his left hind leg. It's how Marisa identifies him.
* MonsterAndTheMaiden: Aleior shares a strong bond with Marisa, as she rescued and raised him when he fell out of his next as a hatchling. Despite his huge, intimidating appearance, she nuzzles him like a playful kitten, and the pair share their own Hero Combo, "Griffin Rider".
* OurGryphonsAreDifferent: Aleior is of the "Classical" variety, with the body, back limbs and tail of a lion, and the wings, head, and front legs from a bird of prey.

Due to the sheer number of characters in the game, this page is in need of some wiki magic. To avoid too much confusion, we've tried to sort most characters based on where they appear in Allraan.

!Altverden Village

!Werne Village

* AnimateDead: Milana's unique[[labelnote:*]]Markus has this rune too[[/labelnote]] 'Rune of Summon Revenant Army' allows her to summon a squadron of undead to attack the enemy.

[[quoteright:325:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/elektra_3.png]]

!!El Alicanto

-> A bizarre MaskedLuchador who Nowa inexplicably finds in the Norristari mountains, El Alicanto itches for a worthy challenger to his might.

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/markus_3.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''King of the Revenants'']]

* RedHerring: At first, it seems like he's the one behind the revenent army threatening Yarnaan, a reasonable assumption considering that he'd just shown up on their doorstep with a zombie horde. In actuality, his archnemesis is the one responsible, and he's happy to join forces with the Alliance against his rival.

!!Mellore
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mellore_3.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Willful Magical Girl'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/RieKugimiya (Japanese), Rebecca Hanssen (English)

->A vivacious young magic-user and self-described 'magical girl' who joins Nowa's forces to bring "love and justice" to the world.

* CareBearStare: Her 'Magical Cutie Shot' rune-lens attack involves pummeling the enemy with a giant bright-pink, heart-shaped energy blast.
* {{Expy}}: Of the titular character from ''Franchise/SailorMoon''. She wears a sailor fuku with a blue skirt and red bow, has long, blonde hair tied up in twin tails, makes speeches about fighting for love and justice, uses light-based attacks, and her weapon design recalls several of Sailor Moon's (such as the Cutie Moon Rod, Spiral Heart Moon Rod, and Eternal Tiare) with its winged jewel and heart-shaped crystal topping it.
* ForGreatJustice: Mellore is obsessive in her mission to stamp out evil forces in the name of love and justice.
* FrillsOfJustice: She sports a frothy, frilly costume consisting of a MiniDressOfPower over a pair of puffy pants, a small cape, gloves and boots accessorised with puffballs, and GirlishPigtails tied up with voluminous ribbons.
* GirlishPigtails: Sports very long bunches that twist and twirl as she moves about.
* HeartBeatDown: Mellore attacks from long-range by firing heart-shaped energy balls from her wand.
* InTheNameOfTheMoon: "By the rune's guiding light, Magical Girl Mellore is coming to get ya!"
* {{Kawaiiko}}: An adorably sweet, enthusiastic cutie complete with a sugary costume of frills and bows to match.
* LargeHam: She's extremely theatrical and eccentric, extolling the virtues of love and justice in an obsessively earnest manner.
* LightEmUp: Her exclusive skills and spells are all Light-elemental and she has high compatibility with Light Runes.
* MagicalGirlWarrior: She's a very proud example, and is quick to note that she's ''nothing'' like a mage when Nowa questions what exactly a 'magical girl' actually is.
* MagikarpPower: Mellore starts out as a mediocre mage who's quickly outclassed by a bunch of other characters in the magic department. In the late game, her magic stat explodes and she can become one of the best magical powerhouses in the whole roster.
* SweetTooth: She loves chocolate cake, which is another shout-out to the eponymous hero of ''Sailor Moon'', who loves cake too.
* ThePowerOfLove: Mellore has a very high affinity for the Light element, and attacks by firing blasts of heart-shaped energy from her wand, which is topped with a prominent HeartSymbol.

->'''Voiced by''': Eri Nagawa (Japanese), Leader Looi (English)

->A little girl who lives with her grandmother, she's taken to wandering off into the mountains, having found and tamed a large beast that she calls "Friend."

* AwesomeButImpractical: Despite the sheer fun of having a huge monster piloted by an adorable six year-old on the squad, Yume and Friend take up two front-row slots, reducing the active party to five and taking up valuable real estate in battle. Friend also doesn't hit ''that'' hard in justification of his prime position, and as an S-ranged character, he also must be on the front line to even attack at all.
* CheerfulChild: At just six years old, Yume is the youngest recruitable character. In personality, she's a charming, sweet little girl.
* {{Expy}}: Yume's character design and backstory of being adopted by a huge, round, furry monster while out looking for her missing mom is lifted whole cloth from ''Anime/MyNeighborTotoro''.
* GentleGiant: Friend is a huge, furry, slightly demonic looking beast, complete with GlowingEyesOfDoom, but in character, he's a big softie.
* AGirlAndHerX: Yume is a tiny six year-old girl who rides on the back of "Friend", some sort of giant, shaggy beast. Only Friend participates in combat, attacking with his paws.
* KidWithTheLeash: Nobody knows how Yume, a six-year-old little girl, tamed a wild beast, but she has and said beast follows her commands completely happily.
* MissingMom: The reason Yume goes out on her own and teams up with "Friend."
* TheUnintelligible: "Friend" only seems capable of saying "Zvort, zvort!"

* {{Sarashi}}: He sports one as part of his delinquent look.

* DefeatEqualsFriendship: Upon being defeated, he and his group end up joining Nowa and become his biggest supporters.
* HeroWorshipper: After Nowa agrees to spare him, following their battle in the ruins of the castle HQ, Kogen becomes a besotted Nowa FanBoy, always addressing him as "Cousin" ("Aniki" in Japanese -- literally "big brother", an honorific mainly used to refer to someone one considers a superior, within the context of the Yakuza).
* LargeHam: He's a stout, rowdy loudmouth and prone to melodramatic outbursts.
* SigilSpam: His curious personal emblem, featuring five yellow spots arranged like a pair of crossed ''dango'', appears not only on his armour, but also on Yuthus' shield and Zabi's robe and hat.
* SublimeRhyme: In Japanese, he's addressed as "Kogen Shōgun".
* WeaponizedBall: Kogen hurls cannon balls in combat.
* WolfpackBoss: He's fought alongside Yuthus and Zabi in his battle against Nowa's party. The former will take damage for the team while the latter uses magic and will heal his fallen comrades.

!!Yuthus
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yuthus.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''Passionate Boy'']]

-> Kogen's young protege who fights to defend his allies.

* DefeatEqualsFriendship: He joins Nowa alongside Kogen and Zabi upon being defeated.
* HotBlooded: He's enormously passionate and prone to outbursts.

* ShieldBash: Sports a yellow wooden shield and uses it as his primary attacking weapon.

[[caption-width-right:300:''Acerbic Monk'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Hikaru Yoshihara (Japanese), Vincent Lai (English)

-> One of Kogen's fellow bandits, Zabi is known for his arcane mastery.

* ChinesePeople: Zabi's look calls to mind a Ming Dynasty courtier.
* CrutchCharacter: Upon being recruited he's a step-up from other mage characters at that level but his limited Rune Slots will mean that he'll likely be benched mid-game.
* DefeatEqualsFriendship: He joins Nowa alongside Kogen and Yuthus upon being defeated.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: He sports ashen skin, pitch-dark hair, slightly disturbing, staring eyes, and overly-plucked UnusualEyebrows -- all of which lends him a vaguely unsettling appearance.
* EthnicMagician: Zabi is an East Asian style of sorceror.
* TheHyena: He's constantly cackling in a high-pitched voice.
* MagicWand: His weapon is a long slender stick that wouldn't look out of place on a stage magician.
* RobeAndWizardHat: Zabi is an early magic-user for the active party and sports a long green sorcerer's robes and box-shaped hat.
* ShootTheMedicFirst: During the fight with Kogen, he'll revive him if he's not dealt with first.
* WhiteMage: Slightly surprising, given his unsettling appearance, but Zabi specialises in Water and Wind magic, elements which are largely focussed on healing and buffing.
* WindIsGreen: Zabi has a strong affinity for the Wind magical element and sports an all-green ensemble.

!!Iris
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iris_31.png]]

* HighClassGlass: Sports a pair of ''pince nez'' in keeping with her studious, sophisticated vibe.
* AnInteriorDesignerIsYou: Iris is a highly skilled architect, and once the castle HQ is up and running, she opens up the Drafting Studio, a design service for upgrading the HQ as the game progresses, more recruits are onboarded, and funds are invested.
* TeaIsClassy: She's pictured holding a cup of tea and is an elegant woman who graduated from a prestigious university. Her favorite food is also black tea with cookies.
* TrueCraftsman: She adores her job and advises on HQ upgrades with enthusiasm and passion.

!!Caine
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/caine_2.png]]

->'''Voiced by''': Riyo Hirayama (Japanese), Andres Williams (English)

->A logistical professional who handles provisions and resources alongside Sumire for the Alliance.

* BagOfSharing: His specialty -- assisted by Sumire, he looks after the HQ warehouse, where all items and equipment can be dropped off, stored and retrieved when necessary.
* TheGenericGuy: In a game filled with a variety of fanciful, vibrant characters, Caine is conspicuous by his comparative normality, dressed in unembellished modern-era clothing with overtones of a fast-food restaurant uniform.
* OpaqueNerdGlasses: Sports a pair as part of his "straight-laced warehouse manager" persona.
!!Reid
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/reid_0.png]]

* BattleTops: Reid is a LongRangeFighter and ImprobableWeaponUser who uses his ''beigoma'' (spinning top) in battle.
* DefeatEqualsFriendship: Reid won't join the Alliance until Nowa can best him at beigoma.
* {{Expy}}: He's a clear shout out to the ''Franchise/{{Beyblade}}'' franchise, and has a definite Kai Hiwatari vibe.
* GottaCatchEmAll: Recruiting Reid is an arduous task, as to do so requires the player to undergo the Beigoma Battle Questline -- taking on multiple NPC beigoma players from all over the Allraan continent until they are strong enough to defeat Reid himself.
* ICallItVera: It's not uncommon for beigoma players to name their tops. His is Absolute Zero at first, then Neo Absolute Zero following the rebuild.
* SeriousBusiness: To him, beigoma is serious as it gets, and he travels the world to fight stronger opponents.
* StockShonenHero: He's a fiery 13-year-old PrettyBoy with oversized hair and a serious expression, evoking anime series featuring similarly featured protagonists.
* WingDingEyes: Reid's eyes shine bright with a star-shaped reflection, in keeping with his overtly anime design style and passionate personality.

* {{Expy}}: He's a parody of the various Pokemon Professors, complete with letting you choose between a fire, leaf or water beigoma.
* GadgeteerGenius: He's devoted his studies to the physics of beigomas, and strives to create the perfect model.
* MadScientist: He's a pure-hearted man but is undoubtedly eccentric, what with him being obsessed with the elusive, unpredictable movement of beigoma, and seeking out the perfect player to prove his theories, as opposed to conducting more typical scientific endeavours.
* SingleIssueWonk: A lot of his dialogue indicates that he wants to put the concept of ''beigoma'' and ''beigoma''-like spinning into '''everything''' regardless of how feasible that would actually be, from telling his eggfoot to spin when it's lagging behind in a race, to suggesting the incorporation of beigoma when brainstorming ways to keep steam from fogging people's glass while at the hot springs...

!!Douglas
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/douglas_4.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''Hardworking Blacksmith'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Masamichi Kitada (Japanese), Dan Starkey (English)

->A crotchety but well-meaning smithy who runs the castle HQ forge.

* TheBlacksmith: Once recruited, Douglas opens up a smithy at the castle HQ, where all weapons can be updated according to the level of the most advanced smith Nowa has visited.
* HiddenDepths: B'Baba's divinations reveal that bluff, manly Douglas originally wanted to be a ''minstrel'' -- and still has the voice to prove it.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's quite stern and irritable, and when he and Nowa first meet, Douglas yells at him for standing too near some dangerous equipment. However, he's not a bad guy -- just gruff and concerned with getting on with this work.
* SortingAlgorithmOfWeaponEffectiveness: He can level up a character's weapon abilities, and his skills progress as the game's story advances.

!!Larla
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/larla.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''Slacker Lady'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Serika Hiromatsu (Japanese), Elena Sanz (English)

->A lazy woman who wants to make the maximum amount of profits by doing the minimum amount of work possible.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: When Nowa initially interacts with her, Larla's entitled, LazyBum tone suggests she'll be nothing more than TheLoad once recruited. However, as a Guild Deputy, she has amongst the highest rank of any character when it comes to Guild Missions, with an 'A' in foraging and strength-based missions, and an 'S' rank in luck-based ones.
* ChildhoodFriends: She, Fume, and Enoe have known each other since childhood.
* TheDitz: Larla is a dizzy DumbBlonde and constantly sports a dopey, wheedling look on her face.
* TheSlacker: Larla is a louche, lazy young woman who only joins up with Nowa because she expects the Alliance to look after her meals, accommodation, and entertainment whilst she doesn't lift a finger in return, though her skills as a Guild Deputy (when she can be arsed) are certainly valuable.
* UtilityPartyMember: Larla, Enoe, and Fume fill a certain niche role in the game's AdventureGuild by being special 'Guild Deputies', which means that whilst they are neither available for the active PlayerParty, nor are they {{Support Party Member}}s or HQ merchants, they do have ''excellent'' stats for doing the various Guild Missions that Gocteau organises. Larla specialises in Luck missions, holding an S-rank.

!!Glen
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/glen_4.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''Duelist'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Taihi Kimura (Japanese), Luke R. Francis (English)

-> A traveling duelist who plays card games with just about any opponent.

* CardBattleGame: Glen runs a ''Anime/YuGiOh'' type card game which the player can join in with at castle HQ.
* DefeatEqualsFriendship: Upon being defeated in his card game, he joins the Alliance and opens a Card Shop.
* DeathDealer: Discussed, but ultimately defied. When Glen's first recruited, Nowa offhandedly wonders if the former fights by throwing his cards like shuriken. However, Glen responds as if he finds the idea completely absurd and reiterates that the cards are only for playing the game.
* SpiritedCompetitor: He loves to play card games. He also never rubs a victory in his opponents face, and is disappointed, but not bitter, when he loses.
* StockShonenHero: Like Reid, he's a classic big-haired, earnestly passionate young man, with a design and in-game role that's a clear ShoutOut to ''Anime/YuGiOh'' and the like.

!!Gigina
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gigina.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''Stone Lion's Heart'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Yuki Urushiyama (Japanese), Leader Looi (English)

-> A young warrior in a Chinese lion mask seeking strong companions to help improve his strength.

* CatFolk: Beneath the mask, as seen in the bathhouse, for instance, Gigina is actually a small black cat. It's unclear if he's a variety of beastyn or some other race.
* CoolMask: Gigina sports a huge Chinese lion mask, which mostly conceals his petite form underneath.
* GlassCannon: Strong attacks with high critical chance that ignore armor but the low HP and defense are particular drawbacks.
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Gigina introduces himself to Nowa as "the mightiest of all beastwarriors", and is suitably impressed enough to join Nowa -- a fellow "lion" -- when they meet in Arenside.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Under that big mask is a very cute little black cat, and Gigina calls to mind the Nay-Kobold cat people of ''Suikoden IV''.

!!Paquia
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/paquia.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''Eggfoot Enthusiast'']]

* BettingMiniGame: Once recruited, she opens up an Eggfoot racing arena at the castle HQ.
* BigAnimeEyes: Paquia sports huge (type 6) eyes in golden yellow.
* TheCutie: Paquia is sweet, wide-eyed, enthusiastic, and looks very cute in her egg-themed costume.
* EdibleThemeClothing: Such is her passion for eggs and Eggfoots that she sports a half-egg-shaped hat, with her long blonde hair lending the appearance of running egg-yolk.
* FetchQuest: In order for her to join the Alliance, Nowa must bring her 5 standard eggs, which are occasionally dropped by the Eggfoot enemy.
* MeaningfulName: 'Paquia' is a pet form of Pa(s)que, a female personal name derived from 'Pasques' (Easter) -- very suitable for an egg-themed character.

!!Mandie
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mandie.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''Frenzied Commentator!'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/KentaMiyake (Japanese), Dan Starkey (English)

-> A passionate racing announcer who joins the Alliance with Paquia and provides (very enthusiastic) commentary on the Eggfoot races she runs.

* GenderBlenderName: 'Mandie' is typically short for 'Amanda' -- usually a girl's name.
* LargeHamAnnouncer: Mandie is absolutely ChewingTheScenery when commenting on the Eggfoot races.
* NarratingThePresent: Mandie's vibrant AnnouncerChatter extends to him describing (in racing-announcer speak) his meeting with Nowa and Paquia, and his plans to join the Alliance.

!!Frida
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/frida_9.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''Fashion Fiend'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/MieSonozaki (Japanese), Beth Chalmers (English)

->A fashion-obsessed arms and equipment dealer.

* TheArmorer: She's an armorer and once recruited, opens a store at the castle HQ.
* EarlyBirdCameo: She appeared in ''Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising,'' also serving as the armorer for New Nevaeh.
* TheFashionista: A self-described example, though her dress-sense is fairly chaotic, as opposed to stylish, and she sends up the perky ValleyGirl archetype. She actually studied fashion design and eventually pivoted towards armor since she wants to make clothing that's both fashionable and practical.
* NoHeroDiscount: Unlike Cassandra's Inn, which you can go to for free, you have to pay full price for her goods.
* RummageSaleReject: Considering she thinks of herself as a fashionista, Frida's outfit is a bit of a TooManyBelts hodge-podge, and looks as if she's wearing half her stock.
* WeBuyAnything: She'll buy everything, not just armour.
* WeSellEverything: She sells armour that is available from any other armour store already visited.

!!Pieter
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pieter.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''Carefree Farmer'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Nobuyuki Kobushi (Japanese), Greg Jones (English)

-> A peaceful simple farmer who loves to grow vegetables, fruit, and wheat in his village.

* BigEater: Apparently, he lost a hot dog eating contest, but he still ended up winning, as he left the room to eat something else. He will also eat anything delicious.
* CaringGardener: Pieter is a sweet, uncomplicated man with a green thumb, who can be recruited to look after the HQ food supplies.

!!Falward
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/falward.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''Sharp-Tongued Healer'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Shogo Yano (Japanese), Richard Stranks (English)

->An acid-tongued healer who requires herbs to treat the war wounded.

* BlueBlood: He's a scion of a noble family.
* DrJerk: His bedside manner is prickly, but he does deeply care for his charges and prefers to show that through healing.
* DressedToHeal: Whilst his outfit fits with the game's fantasy setting, it has overtones of a modern medical lab-coat.
* FetchQuest: He wants 15 Healing Herbs to help make a tincture for his patients before he's willing to run off to the Alliance.
* InTheBlood: Falward's family has a knack for healing, and while he initially refused, Falward changed his mind when he healed a pretty girl and she thanked him.
* LightEmUp: Has high affinity with light runes, and uses light magic to contrast with Francesca's dark in their unite attack.

!!Wyler
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wyler.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''Kindhearted Hunter'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Junta Terashima (Japanese), Greg Jones (English)

->A capable and pleasant ranger who travels with his little sister Marin.

* BigBrotherInstinct: Wyler adores his younger sister, Marin, and is incredibly protective of her, taking up his bow in her defence whenever required. As Marin has a habit of wandering off to gather herbs and getting herself in trouble in the process, this is a fairly regular occurrence.
* {{Expy}}: As a sweet-natured ForestRanger who wields a bow in battle, Wyler is ''Eiyuden'''s nod to Kinnison from ''Suikoden II''.
* LongRangeFighter: As an archer, he fights from the back row and is vulnerable up close.
* MasterArcher: When joining Nowa's squad, he notes that he "never misses his mark". In gameplay, this translate to a deadly (and very rare) level 1 rune-skill, which can kill a standard enemy dead in one hit.
* NatureHero: A true-hearted young archer with an indigenous warrior vibe who fights to protect his woodland homeland.

!!Marin
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/marin_3.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''Gatherer Girl'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Akiha Matsui (Japanese), Hara Yannas (English)

-> A pleasant young woman with a knack for finding rare plants and a knack for all things herbalism. She travels with her big brother Wyler.

* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Marin is a expert herbal remedy gatherer, but is distracted by "shiny" things, meaning that she's prone to wandering off and getting in trouble.
* BigBrotherWorship: Marin adores her very protective older brother, Wyler, insisting he is the best big brother in the world.
* DamselInDistress: When first encountered, she's wandered off from her brother Wyler and is being menaced by a Plantvine -- until Nowa and his party save the day.
* FeminineWomenCanCook: She's dainty, delicate, and the food she makes is delicious.
* HealingHerb: Her specialty; Marin is an expert medicinal herb gatherer.
* NatureHero: Her weapon of choice is special herbs that cause damage.

!!Kerrin
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kerrin_6.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''Full Force Lumberjack'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Michiko Kaiden (Japanese), Stacy Sobieski (English)

->A mighty woodswoman who lives in the Dappled Forest and will agree to join the Alliance should Nowa bring her some lumber.

* AmazonianBeauty: Kerrin is absolutely ripped, and one of the buffest women in the game (if not ''the'' buffest), though she still sports a pretty feminine face and a brief outfit that shows off her figure. Despite this she's not a warrior and is recruited solely to be a lumberjack.
* FetchQuest: A very easily-accomplished one at that, as the 20 piles of lumber she requests Nowa gather to prove his strength before she'll join are scattered a short jog from her cabin.
* MightyLumberjack: Kerrin is a buff woodswoman, and uses her huge axe to help with HQ building projects.

!!Ormond
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ormond.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''Miserly Miner'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Masaki Nakanishi (Japanese), Andres Williams (English)

->A Dwarven miner who can be recruited if he's given enough iron ores.

* FetchQuest: He'll only join Nowa's party if he's brought 3 samples of iron ore as proof of good faith.
* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: He's about as archetypal a dwarf as it gets; big bushy beard, gruff tone, encountered in a mine, and wielding a big pickaxe.
* PunnyName: ''Or''mund is a miner, a profession that deals with extracting ''ore'' from rocks.

!!Galdorf
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/galdorf.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''Young Dwarf Soldier'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Takuya Abe (Japanese), Greg Jones (English)

->A dwarf hanging out in the entrance of the Abandoned Mines looking for a suit of armor.

* CommonalityConnection: His unlockable background states that he feels a sense of kinship with King Euma of Euchrisse since he also used to be timid and weak-willed when he was younger and sees the King's hidden reserves of personal strength.
* FetchQuest: He joins the Alliance if Nowa brings him a set of Palenight Armour.
* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: Like Ormond, he's a classic Tolkien-style dwarf, albeit a bit more battle-ready than his dwarven comrade. Like classic fantasy series dwarves, he's also terrible with magic, and has a 'bad' affinity with all elements, especially water.

!!Hiro
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hiro_65.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''Free-Range Merchant'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/YojiUeda (Japanese), Kyle Omori (English)

->A wandering merchant found in the Abandoned Mines, who sets up shop with Nowa's army on a whim once asked.

* CoatFullOfContraband: Invoked in the way he opens his cape to show his wares, but his items are all legitimate.
* MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold: On initial inspection, Hiro appears dodgy and shady, what with him being encountered deep in an abandoned mine, his slightly unsettling expression, and the fact he offers goods stashed inside his cloak like a stolen watch dealer. However, he's a legitimate trader and far nicer than appearances alone suggest.
* WeBuyAnything: He opens an item store at HQ, once recruited.
* WeSellEverything: His store carries any item that has been found available in any other item store already visited by Nowa.

!!Durlan
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/durlan.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''Stone-Tough Stonemason'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Ikkyu Juku (Japanese), Simon Gregor (English)

->A crotchety old man found in the deepest recesses of the Abandoned Mine, who joins the Alliance to work at Gocteau's Mission Guild.

* GrumpyOldMan: When Nowa discovers him beavering away deep in the mines, he's irritable at being disturbed, but joins the Alliance nonetheless.
* UtilityPartyMember: Durlan fills a certain niche role in the game's AdventureGuild by being a special 'Guild Deputy', which means that whilst he is neither available for the active PlayerParty, nor is he a SupportPartyMember or HQ merchant, he does have ''excellent'' stats for doing the various Guild Missions that Gocteau organises. Durlan specialises in Physical Strength missions, holding an S-rank.

!!Aleior
[[quoteright:811:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aleior.png]]
[[caption-width-right:811:''Free-Flying Griffin'']]
->'''Voiced by''': N/A

-> A griffin known to Marisa, she convinces Nowa to help seek him out in the Abandoned Mine to ensure he isn't hunted by worried villagers.

* TheArchmage: As a fantastic creature, Aleior has exceptional magical affinity, with a +20 in all elements bar Earth (which is still a respectable +10).
* GiantFlyer: Aleior is one of the game's large characters, taking up two slots on the front row.
* IconicItem: He wears a blue bandana on his left hind leg. It's how Marisa identifies him.
* MonsterAndTheMaiden: Aleior shares a strong bond with Marisa, as she rescued and raised him when he fell out of his next as a hatchling. Despite his huge, intimidating appearance, she nuzzles him like a playful kitten, and the pair share their own Hero Combo, "Griffin Rider".
* OurGryphonsAreDifferent: Aleior is of the "Classical" variety, with the body, back limbs and tail of a lion, and the wings, head, and front legs from a bird of prey.

!!Maureus
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maureus_3.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Muscle Magician'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/ShinichirouKamio (Japanese), Alexander Devrient (English)

-> A supposed mage who has vastly misunderstood the meaning of the word, instead devoting his "magic" to his muscles.

* TheAhnold: Between the strong resemblance physically, the intense focus on building his muscles, and an overly exaggerated Austrian accent, Maureus is pretty clearly one big reference to Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger (with his intelligence about twenty notches lower).
* CarryABigStick: It might ''look'' magical, but considering who it is who's wielding it, it would create more fire as kindling. Its true use is as a bludgeon that Maureus can use to beat the tar out of his enemies with.
* DumbMuscle: The man is about as sharp as a sphere, and has a limited understanding about much beyond physical training.
* HeroWorshipper: Back when he was a child, he was saved by Momo which led to him wanting to become a mage.
* IneptMage: Played with in his backstory, where it's stated that while he has no talent with conventional magic, he is skilled in body enhancement magic which led to him equating brute strength with magical power.
* MagicallyIneptFighter: PlayedForLaughs. Despite claiming to be a mage and requiring a party member with a sufficiently high MP stat to recruit, he has an absolutely pitiful magic stat, rock bottom compatibility with all magic runes, and he firmly believes in training his MP (which stands for "Muscle Points.") What he does bring to the table, however, is an immense physical attack. Despite this, he does have Hero Combos with other actual mages such as Momo, Mellore and Gieran.

!!Fume
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fume_8.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''Fiery Spirit!'']]

[[caption-width-right:300:''Luckiest Girl Alive'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/HikaruAkao (Japanese), Sam Slade (English)

-> Nowa's younger sister, who often travels wherever the call of the runes lead her.
-----
* BattleBolas: Her weapon is a long range bola.
* BornLucky: She has the highest Luck stat in the game, and in-story she's constantly getting into scrapes and miraculously surviving unscathed.
* HundredPercentCompletion: Only joins your party if you have all 119 of the other recruitable characters.
* ArrowCatch: Takes out a [[spoiler:poisoned arrow courtesy of Hurstwine]] if she shows up.
* GuestStarPartyMember: Temporarily joins Marisa's group for one part of the game, but she can join permanently later.
* InTheBlood: She likes exploring Runebarrows because that's what her mother liked to do.
* LadyLuck: Considers herself to be the luckiest girl alive. It's hard to argue otherwise. Her Luck stat is also the highest in the game. According to B'baba, Kyshiri would always hold festivals with two top prizes, because Leene would be counted on to win every time.
* SpannerInTheWorks: She is this for Hurstwine and Nurengard, as she steals the Dendriach's rune and floats away on some of the Proving Ground's helicopter elevators. Only Leene would be lucky enough to pull off that sort of stunt.

!!Martha
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/martha_03.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''Old Chatterbox'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Toru Nakatani (Japanese), Claire Wyatt (English)

-> Nowa and Leene's parental figure, who helped raise them after their father's passing. She runs a pasturage and manages animal products such as milk and eggs.
-----

* CoolAunt: Is the loving ParentalSubstitute to Nowa and Leene.
* GossipyHens: She's known for not shutting up once she gets going; her sobriquet is "Old Chatterbox".
* SoProudOfYou: She says as much when she comes to Nowa's castle HQ, being very impressed with what he's done and joining him on the spot to help him out.
* TheresNoPlaceLikeHome: She's eager to help out Nowa, but as the war runs on, her thoughts move back to Kyshiri and she's hoping Nowa will return with her so they might rebuild it.

[[caption-width-right:300:''Heir of Euchrisse'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/ToshiyukiToyonaga (Japanese), Jacqui Bardelang (English)

-> The King of Euchrisse based out of the capital Hishahn, Euma is an indecisive man and has been for most of his life.

* TheDitherer: He's notorious (according to Perrielle) for being unable to determine a best course of action by himself.
* EyesAlwaysShut: His eyes are always closed save for moments of shock.
* TheGoodKing: [[spoiler:His epilogue states that he'll go on to be one of Euchrisse's greatest Kings]].
* InadequateInheritor: He's a kind yet indecisive young man who very recently ascended to the throne and is thus seen as a failure by many others. Part of it is because he's constantly comparing himself to his own father, a ruler who had decades of experience.
* LoopholeAbuse: He does this to himself: he knows that he's not experienced enough to lead a nation through a time of war, so he temporarily hands total command of the nation and crown authority to Kassius (a trusted and skilled general) and Melridge (an equally trusted tactician) to see the country through. This not only helps Euchrisse survive Galdea's attack, but he also learns from it.
* OddFriendship: Despite Perrielle claiming that she and Euma [[FriendshipDenial aren't actually friends]], she does have a particular soft spot for him and is rather patient with him.
* RainOfArrows: His ability as a Support Character is to order archers to rain down arrows on the enemies as a pre-emptive attack.
* TookALevelInBadass: He grows from a spineless (but well-meaning) ditherer to a braver young man throughout the course of the game. By the end, he's actively joining the party (albeit, in a support role).

!!Kassius
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kassius_8.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Euchrissian Army Chief'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Hinata Tadokoro (Japanese), Kyle Omori (English)

-----
* AFatherToHisMen: His background states that he's largely beloved by the army due to him caring deeply about the soldiers under his command.
* UndyingLoyalty: He's deeply loyal to the royal family of Euchrisse and is Euma's biggest supporter.

!!Melridge
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/melridge_1.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Curator and Tactician'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/YoheiAzakami (Japanese), Creator/BrentMukai (English)

-> A well-read and educated military strategist consulted by Kassius, Melridge has a keen mind for tactics and is utterly ruthless in his pursuits. He later joins on as the Alliance's strategist.
-----
* ArtAttacker: He can create functional magic attacks by drawing calligraphy, and his weapon is actually an oversized paintbrush to boot. He can also draw kanji to manifest powerful attacks, including a fireball and a dragon.
* BatmanGambit: He executes plans that rely on the weaknesses of his enemy, including tricking [[spoiler:the Dragonnewt King by using Perrielle as a feint, despite the real risk it brought to her life]].
* MinoredInAsskicking: While his specialty is in the academic sector, he's more than skilled with magic and takes to battle quite easily.
* PlayingWithFire: He specializes in Fire magic, with a +20 on the baseline stat.
* PragmaticHero: One of the reasons he's helping the war is because he won't get any funding for his university if the Imperials win.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: Melridge sports a voluminous, billowy white scarf and is a powerful magic-user with a strong affinity in all elements (especially fire) except wind.
* TheStrategist: He is a masterful war strategist and once King Euma officially aligns with Nowa, Melridge becomes the Alliance's lead tactician.

!!Harlan
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/harlan_8.png]]
->'''Voiced by''': Masamichi Kitada (Japanese), Creator/BrentMukai (English)

->A sleazy advisor to Euma of Euchrisse, who has been trying to convince him that capitulating to the might of the Galdean Empire is the correct course of action.

* EvilChancellor: He's attempting to get Euma to surrender to Galdea by playing on his insecurities.
* FatBastard: He's a rather heavyset fellow, and is [[spoiler:perfectly willing to sell out Euma to Galdea in exchange for power.]]
* JerkassHasAPoint: [[spoiler:During his MotiveRant he is completly accurate about how Euma's inability to stop being TheDitherer would result in the Dux taking over the Kingdom forcibly, ending with a result worse than fighting against him or surrendering.]]
* KleptomaniacHeroFoundUnderwear: When Nowa goes poking about in Harlan's rooms, looking for proof of Imperial correspondence, he discovers a pair of his underwear, which is humorously noted as "an unfortunate discovery" in the player inventory.
* TheQuisling: [[spoiler:He's been making backroom deals with Dux Aldric in which he'll facilitate the surrender of Euchrisse in exchange for maintaining his position of power]].

->'''Voiced by''': Creator/HirokiTochi (Japanese), Jason Keller (English)

->A mercenary contracted by Euchrisse with his company to help defend Hishahn from the Empire, who's famed for his loyalty and tenacity.

* DualWielding: Applicably for his Arabian-influenced design, he wields a scimitar in combat, along with a shortsword.
* GeniusBruiser: He's a hired sword and quite talented with one, but he also is a font of knowledge about the Shi'arcs, and is quick to educate Nowa that not everyone fights for the same reason.
* HiredGuns: A warrior from the desert regions in the vicinity of Impershi'arc, Barnard is contracted by the Euchrisse ruling council as the threat of Galdean invasion looms.
* IGaveMyWord: Barnard's trustworthiness is the reason why Euchrisse contracted his mercenary company over anyone else. Once hired, the Sawad do not rescind on a contract.
-->''A contract's a contract. And a Sawad never breaks his word, or may the sands swallow him. Integrity is my people's way.''
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: The Sawad were paid handsomely and that's all he cares about. However, he knows better than to go back on a contract, as a merc's word is literally all they have.
* SpinAttack: For his standard attack, he spins into the enemy like a whirling dervish, hitting multiple times with his duel weapons.

!!Yulin

* BigDamnHeroes: Commandeers a fleet of Shi'arcs to [[spoiler:get the retreating Nowa and Euma from Twinhorn West out after Kenan destroys the boats]].
* ExperienceBooster: Her support ability doubles the XP you earn.
* {{Meido}}: A beautiful, earnest young woman who takes her duties as King Euma's handmaiden exceptionally seriously. Despite Euchrisse's ostensibly East Asian-themed setting, she also sports a Victorian-era maid's cap along with her more overtly Asian-style outfit.
* UndyingLoyalty: She's extremely loyal to Euma due to personally witnessing his kind nature and good intentions, and is very quick to speak up for him.

->A famous spear-fighter who spends his retirement lazing about and drinking. Nowa convinces him to give fighting a go again by besting him in a duel.
-----
* DefeatEqualsFriendship: He'll only join if Nowa beats him in a [[DuelBoss duel]].
* DuelBoss: The fight to recruit him is a one-on-one fight with him and Nowa.
* FunctionalAddict: He loves his booze, make no mistake, but he's still a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.
* MyKungFuIsStrongerThanYours: If Nowa is below level 30 when he approaches Riufan to join the Alliance, he scoffs that such a "weakling" would even dare ask. If Nowa is level 30 and over, Riufan is much more respectful, and challenges him to a one-on-one fight.
* OldMaster: A masterful spearman who's still sprightly at 77 years-old.

!!Huang
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/huang_3.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''Fishing Drifter'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Genta Nakamura (Japanese), Creator/ToddHaberkorn (English)

-> A laid-back fisherman in Hishahn, he offers to open a fishing hatchery in Nowa's castle if Nowa can prove his own good fortune by snagging a very rare fish.

* TheDrifter: Huang is of no fixed abode and a hippie at heart, despite his wealthy upbringing, and moves from town to town as the mood takes him.
* {{Expy}}: He's a dead ringer of Yam Koo from ''VideoGame/SuikodenII'', adheres to the same life philosophy of flowing with "the current of fate", and has the same prerequisite to recruit him. Nowa must prove his luck by catching an exceedingly rare fish[[note]]a wheel-eyed bream[[/note]], which Huang takes as a sign that fate favors him.
* FetchQuest: To prove his worth, Huang requests that Nowa catches a wheel-eyed bream with the bamboo rod he gifts him. This is no easy task, as said fish appears rarely, and only in one fishing spot tucked away near the Seaside Cavern outside of Hishahn.
* FishingMinigame: He'll give Nowa a pole to start off, and he runs the fishing game at the Alliance HQ once recruited, with upgrades to the game allowing for the catching of more fish.
* SecretlyWealthy: He's actually the scion of a wealthy merchant house, but after watching the money cause his brothers to feud, he gave it up and enjoyed a simpler life.

!!Aire
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aire.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''Energetic Trainer'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Misaki Ikeda (Japanese), Beth Chalmers (English)

-> A fitness trainer in Hishahn who offers to join the Alliance if Nowa can beat her in a race.

* BoringButPractical: Her special ability simply allows Nowa to move faster, which saves a lot of time traversing the map, trails, and when exploring towns.
* DefeatEqualsFriendship: She'll join the team if Nowa can beat her in a race, which simply means that his speed stat has to be up to a certain threshold.
* FitnessNut: Aire is perky and upbeat, with a passion for keeping fit and healthy -- so much so that she bases her decision to join the Alliance on whether Nowa can beat her in a running race around Hishahn. Her reputation leads some of the women in the Alliance to seek her out to help with their WeightWoe.
* SprintShoes: Her support ability doubles Nowa's movement speed on the field.

!!Carrie
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/carrie_4.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''Teleporter Chaos Girl'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/ShioriIzawa (Japanese), Penelope Rawlins (English)

->A (supposedly) perfect "teleportation professional," who Nowa spots aimlessly teleporting around in Hishahn during his diplomatic mission with Euma.

* BerserkButton: Do ''not'' question her ability to teleport people perfectly. She has never messed up, ever. When Nowa tries to beg her to be careful at one point, she cuts him off and threatens to leave him "at the edge of oblivion."
* DitzyGenius: She is genuinely a good mage... with a propensity for flubbing her teleportation spells and still feigning perfection despite it.
* DrearyHalfLiddedEyes: Carrie sports a slightly stern, confused expression, which is enhanced by her heavy blonde fringe.
* {{Expy}}: Of Viki, the recurring teleporting mage from the ''Suikoden'' series. She's also a klutzy mage with a tendency to flub her teleportation spells, and serves the same function in your army as Viki does in the ''Suikoden'' games.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Carrie has issues with the precision of her teleportation, and whenever her skills are needed during the story, she makes many unintended detours to dangerous places off-screen before the party reaches their intended destination. Thankfully, this doesn't happen when you're using her teleportation for warping around the world during actual gameplay.
* HiddenDepths: Though initially played off as gag about her not being certain about where the Marisa's party needs to go and the implied teleportation flubs that come with it, Carrie names Castle Harganthia by its former name of Hardisguarth, which Markus reveals via monologue in astonishment, as he wonders how she could have possibly known, implying that she may have some connection to the distant past, long before she should have been born.
* ImplausibleDeniability: Insists that she's absolutely perfect and has never messed up her teleportation, ever, even after Nowa saw her teleport several feet into the air and fall on her face, right in front of him, ''three times.''
* TheKlutz: Fumbles with her teleportation at times; part of her recruitment process involves Nowa seeing her teleporting around, materializing several feet in the air, and falling on her face.
* MeaningfulName: Her job is to ''carry'' people around via teleportation.
* ThePerfectionist: Carrie holds herself to very high standards, and is of course perfect in every way, which she often reminds Nowa in deadpan, vaguely threatening tones.
* RequiredPartyMember: Despite her appearing to be an optional party member for your army, it turns out that she's mandatory for the quest in Old Hishahn (and for some story events later), meaning that in the end, you have to recruit her.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Carrie has a comically deluded (but charming) sense of self-worth, and is ''definitely'' the best at teleportation, and has absolutely never fallen down -- ''ever''.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: She would like you to know that she has never failed at teleportation. Not once. As for her introduction when she literally failed at teleportation three times in a row, don't believe your lying eyes.
* {{Teleportation}}: She specializes in teleportation magic, though the first few times you meet her she's prone to teleporting a meter in the air above her location, causing her to fall down. As well as being on hand to teleport Nowa and his team to any location on the map, in battle her "Take That!" rune-lens attack drops randomly teleported objects onto the enemy's head.
* WarpWhistle: Recruiting her allows you to warp between all the locations you've visited, saving you a lot of time on backtracking.

!!Nell
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nell_8.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''This Bag Is Everything'']]

->'''Voiced by''': Harumi Asai (Japanese), Fran Burgoyne (English)

->A strange figure who prefers to live his entire life inside a giant bag, but is willing to help out Nowa with inventory space.

* ByTheLightsOfTheirEyes: The only thing that can be seen of him is his eyes peeping out from the darkness of the bag.
* ClarkKentOutfit: Well, Clark Kent "Bag" to be precise. Worried about his muscles atrophying staying in the bag constantly, Nell had picked up a workout manual and has used it to the point he claims to now be in ripped condition.
* DidNotGetTheGirl: Nell wants to succeed in the stowpack business because the one girl he did want to attract ended up marrying a successful stowpack merchant. He wanted to thus surpass him, but has since grown to admire the bags themselves.
* NoGuyWantsToBeChased: The reason he started hiding in the bag to begin with. Apparently he is so attractive that girls would constantly chase him.
* TheShutIn: A benign example played for laughs; Nell spends his life permanently ensconced inside a large satchel-like bag, but as he puts it, the bag is so cosy and comfy, why would he bother to leave it?

!!Kurtz
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kurtz.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''Cool, Competent Chef'']]

->'''Voiced by''': Creator/KaitoIshikawa (Japanese), Vincent Lai (English)

->A chef with a dark history, who is searching for a recipe famed in the Treefolk Village.

* BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler:If Celia is recruited, his epilogue states that the two go on to have twins]].
* CookingDuel: Has an entire sidequest is devoted to an increasingly challenging series of cook-offs with rival chefs.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: He's the central focus of the cooking challenge questline, which focuses on him dealing with the Dark Dragon Syndicate, a group of evil chefs.
* {{Expy}}: Of Hai Yo from ''Suikoden II.'' Both are not only the TeamChef for their respective armies, but both of them have a cooking duel sidequest that finds them eventually facing off against an evil syndicate of chefs, with similar names to boot (Kurtz faces the Dark Dragon Syndicate, while Hai Yo faces the Black Dragon Clan). Furthermore, both of them are linked to a woman who is recruitable (Kurtz's wife, Celia; and Hai Yo's lover Shun Min, who doesn't appear in ''Suikoden II,'' but is recruitable in ''Suikoden V''). Primary differences are that Hai Yo is usable in battle while Kurtz can only be used as a support character, and [[spoiler: Kurtz's wife is alive and well and will join the team over the course of the sidequest, while Shun Min was killed by the Black Dragon Clan before ''Suikoden II'' took place.]]
* FetchQuest: He's hunting for a specific grilled tutuva recipe, which can be found ([[GuideDangIt unobviously]]) with one of the tree-folk in their village, and joins up once this is delivered to him.
* RandomEffectSpell: His Support Ability has him cooking up random dishes for each party member, giving them the buffs associated with said dishes.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: Kurtz is amongst the tallest of the human sprites (with his chef's hat adding a good few more inches), he sports a tousled mop of shiny black hair, and is handsome in a brooding, stoic way.
* TeamChef: He's the Alliance's official chef and can whip up a variety of health and buff-benefiting recipes.

!!Jorhan Gavulet
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jorhan.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''Conceited Lord'']]

->'''Voiced by''': Creator/TomokazuSugita (Japanese), Alexander Devrient (English)

->A vain, yet charming man with a family connection to fellow blue blood, Perrielle, who covets a certain Yellow Rose Censer.

* BlueBlood: Jorhan is of noble birth (though he states with slightly conspiratorial tones that his family name "shall remain unsaid"...), and takes his ''noblesse oblige'' (noble obligations) very seriously, always trying to set a good aesthetic and social example to the "commoners".
* FashionableAsymmetry: He sports a vaguely matador-esque outfit, with one leg trousered and the other sporting an ornately-patterned legging.
* FetchQuest: Recruiting Jorhan is a fairly arduous task, as after meeting him, it becomes apparent that he'll only join the Alliance if Nowa can bring him an object of beauty to prove his good faith. After consulting Jorhan's fellow aristocrat, Perrielle, Nowa is advised to bring him a 'Yellow Rose Censer' -- which is a ''huge'' pain to find, as it's only dropped ''very'' infrequently, and as an anonymised "?" item, by scarabs in the Dababin desert.
* TheFightingNarcissist: Jorhan is available for the active party, and is a LongRangeFighter who amusingly hurls roses at the enemy in battle.
* TheHedonist: Jorhan may well be a blue blood, but he enjoys frequenting common pubs and bar-hopping.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Jorhan is wrapped up in his sense of ''noblesse oblige'', and is deeply convinced of his improving influence on the lower orders, no matter how foppish and silly he actually seems.
* {{Narcissist}}: Jorhan is a fun nod to the classic foppish narcissists (Vincent, Simone, Reinbach etc) who appear in every ''Suikoden'' game, and just like them he's eccentric, status-conscious, ''very'' arrogant, and completely self-obsessed. Like the aforementioned narcissists, he's TheFightingNarcissist and is available for the active party.
* OldSchoolChivalry: He and Perrielle are only loosely acquainted, but he immediately pledges to support her, telling her that a gentleman is always supposed to help a lady in distress.
* SomethingAboutARose: He's constantly clutching, sniffing, and gesticulating with a red rose.

!!Syd

[[caption-width-right:300:''Art is Explosive!'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Hikaru Tanaka (Japanese), Luke R Francic (English)

->An eccentric young artist who can be recruited to add cosmetic flourishes to the castle HQ.

* AnInteriorDesignerIsYou: Once recruited, Syd's studio can be visited to add cosmetic enhancements to the castle HQ, such as ornamental bushes and statues.
* FetchQuest: To join the Alliance, Nowa must bring him some artistic materials, namely 1 Iron Ore, 1 Mystic Lumber, and 1 Dire Beastbone.
* MadArtist: Syd is so passionate about art that he describes it as if talking about some sort of incendiary device, always claiming his work to be "explosive". His gaudy outfit only goes to enhance his eccentricity.
* ShoutOut: Visually, in name, and by way of his rowdy personality, to English PunkRock legend, Music/SidVicious, with his name's unusual spelling an additional nod to another UK music legend, Music/SydBarrett.

!!Pastole
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pastole.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''Love-Trapping Hunter'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Chiharu Shigematsu (Japanese), Greg Jones (English)

->A narcissistic animal trapper who runs a hunter's cabin that can be used to trap animals for pelts and their meat.

* CampStraight: He comes off as incredibly effeminate, speaking in an affected, flutey tone, and is flirty with Nowa, but his background describes him as a womanizer.
* TheCharmer: Women are charmed by his sweet words, and more than one noblewoman wanted to run away with him. It's lead to various troubles for him when their fathers (or husbands) find out.
* ImpracticallyFancyOutfit: Pastole sports a spray-on unitard in lime green that looks more suitable for figure-skating than the gory business of trapping and skinning animals.
* InLoveWithLove: Pastole is incredibly amorous and something of a womanizer.
* ItsAllAboutMe: He's a hammy, self-obsessed show-off, and is boastful about both his appearance and skills as a trapper, though he's not at all a bad guy, just very eccentric.
* LargeHam: Good god, is he ever. He's extremely dramatic, loud, and flamboyant, and he knows it and loves it.
* {{Narcissist}}: Pastole is a fun nod to the classic foppish narcissists (Vincent, Simone, Reinbach etc) who appear in every ''Suikoden'' game, and just like them he's eccentric, amorous, friendly, ''very'' arrogant, and completely self-obsessed. Unlike them, however, he isn't TheFightingNarcissist available for the active party, but instead plays a supporting role as the HQ trapper.
* OldSchoolChivalry: He's very protective of women. When a woman he knew was down on herself, he recited poetry describing her qualities to lift her spirits.
* SomethingAboutARose: In his artwork, he wields one of his thorny traps, complete with a rose motif.
* StereotypeFlip: It's undoubtedly a surprise when foppish, effeminate Pastole reveals that he's an expert animal trapper, a stereotypically macho profession that completely defies his appearance and personality.
* TrapMaster: He's a huntsman who solely uses traps to catch his prey and disdains any other weapons since he considers them too messy.

!!Mariette
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mariette_2.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''Quiet Bookworm'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Suzuka Toriyabe (Japanese), Hara Yannas (English)

->A quiet, bookish young woman who opens up a library at the castle HQ.

* {{Bookworm}}: A self-confessed bookaholic, Mariette loves nothing better than cosying up for the evening with her favourite books.
* EncyclopediaExposita: Her library contains a series of tombs detailing a variety of subjects; the Enemy Encyclopedia, Fish Encyclopedia, and Faded Books. The Enemy Encyclopedia lists normal enemies and bosses defeated, allowing the player to check weaknesses and dropped items. The Fish Encyclopedia lists fish previously caught. The contents of the Faded Books vary, but mostly detail history of the ''Eiyuden'' world and fun/useful trivia. Faded Books can be obtained from specific (usually NPC) characters, or when investigating treasure chests.
* FetchQuest: An Rabbit Archwitch had stolen Mariette's sentimental charm bracelet, and once Nowa recovers it, she joins his team as castle librarian.

!!Dalton

[[caption-width-right:300:''Happy Mercenary Leader'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Masakazu Sakimoto (Japanese), Creator/ToddHaberkorn (English)

->A former soldier who left the military life. Upon hearing Sabine is working with the Alliance, Dalton asks to sign on to work for Gocteau's guild

* AmicableExes: He's Sabine's ex-husband, with the two splitting up due to Sabine being unwilling to give up her mercenary career. Despite this, the pair are still on decent terms, and Dalton still has hopes of getting back together.
* ArtificialLimbs: He's got a peg leg for a right foot.
* DentedIron: Dalton is a tough, ex-military man, and has the scars and missing right leg to prove it.
* OldSoldier: He's retired now, but he's an elder mercenary who spent years as a soldier.
* RuggedScar: Dalton is beaten up all over, with prominent scars on his head, but is still quite dashing.
* UtilityPartyMember: Dalton fills a certain niche role in the game's AdventureGuild by being a special 'Guild Deputy', which means that whilst he is neither available for the active PlayerParty, nor is he a SupportPartyMember or HQ merchant, he does have ''excellent'' stats for doing the various Guild Missions that Gocteau organises. Dalton is the only Guild Deputy with a double S-rank, namely in Physical Strength and Charisma.

!!Code L

->'''Voiced by''': Creator/ShutaMorishima (Japanese), Lewys Taylor (English)

->A researcher of Runes who can be recruited to run the Rune Shop at the town.

* FetchQuest: Nowa must have a Rune of Currents in his inventory to pull Code L's attention and have him join up.
* GeekPhysiques: Code L is a smart, geeky young man and is of a skinny, slightly stooped build.
* SingleIssueWonk: He's obsessed with Runes and will go off half-cocked about their benefits and dangers to anyone who'll listen.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Code L knows a lot about how dangerous runes can be. When a rune spontaneously manifests in a dragon, he's quite panicked.
* WeSellEverything: His rune store carries runes that have been found available in any other store already visited by Nowa, and he is also on hand to change runes for any character.
* WorkHardPlayHard: Code L worked diligently to get his thesis accepted by the University in Carles. After it was, he went on a bender for three straight days.

!!Enoe

->A resident of Hishahn who wants to follow in the footsteps of the famed Guildmaster, Gocteau.

* ChildhoodFriends: He, Fume, and Larla have known each other since childhood, and still share a strong bond.
* HeroWorshipper: He joins the Alliance purely so he can work alongside his hero Gocteau at the HQ AdventureGuild.
* IntrepidMerchant: He wants to be as successful as Gocteau and relishes the chance to work alongside his hero.
* UtilityPartyMember: Enoe, Larla, and Fume fill a certain niche role in the game's AdventureGuild by being special 'Guild Deputies', which means that whilst they are neither available for the active PlayerParty, nor are they {{Support Party Member}}s or HQ merchants, they do have ''excellent'' stats for doing the various Guild Missions that Gocteau organises. Enoe specialises in Foraging missions, holding an S-rank.

!!Hakugin

[[caption-width-right:300:''Seasoned Shinobi'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Nozomi Mikajiri (Japanese), Leader Looi (English)

->A ninja waiting around in Daphan for her rival, Mio.
-----
* BloodKnight: According to Mio, Hakugin has nearly killed her during sparring sessions because she just gets ''that'' into the whole fight.
* DopplegangerAttack: Clone no Jutsu is her unique rune ability, wherein she creates two shadow clones of herself and showers a row of enemies from above with explosive kunai.
* FlechetteStorm: For her signature rune lense skill, she fires a shower of kunai that detonate on impact.
* FriendlyRivalry: With Mio; even after the pair spar (sometimes to near death), she'll still drag Mio to go grab some snacks with her afterwards.
* LightningBruiser: Hakugin is among the fastest characters in the game and is usually first to attack. Which, when combined with her equally impressive physical attack stat and unique rune ability, means she can potentially [[OneHitKill end the fight before it has a chance to start]].
* {{Ninja}}: In contrast to Mio, a {{Samurai}}, she's a ninja who fights with kunai.
* PreAssKickingOneLiner: As seen whenever she uses Clone no Jutsu:
-->''Shadows... STRIKE!!''
* SpeedBlitz: Her innately high speed stat ensures that she'll almost always strike first which, along with her equally high attack stat, means the enemy either dies before they can retaliate, or they're left severely weakened. It spells a quick end either way.
* SitcomArchnemesis: With Mio. It's less belligerent than most, and Mio does speak highly of Hakugin.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Baked Custard. In her case, it's more than just a blurb on her profile since her background states that she's actually quite obsessed with it and is seeking the perfect flan with the help of Kurtz.
* WorthyOpponent: Considers Mio as such, as she refuses to spar with Nowa (or anyone else who isn't Mio).

!!B'baba
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bbaba.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''All-Seeing Mystic'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Harumi Asai (Japanese), Helen Keely (English)

-> A famed fortune-teller who is both able to divine those with important destinies and the motivations of those around her.
-----
* BlindSeer: She can see the past, and can determine a person's current location and secrets; blindness is implied due to her eyes always being covered.
* TheComicallySerious: While her seriousness is normally played straight, with her calm and composed demeanor, her divination veers into more comedic territory with a dramatic incantation of ''"Zippadalips... Opahdamind... SHABLOOEY!"''
* CompositeCharacter: She combines aspects of both Leknaat and Richmond from ''Suikoden II''. B'baba loosely resembles the former, being a presumably blind seer with powers of divination. But she doubles as a stand-in for Richmond by investigating each character and providing clues on where to find any you haven't recruited yet.
* CrypticConversation: Some of her recruitment hints are obvious; others are flowery in explanation and require a certain amount of FigureItOutYourself.
* DreamingOfThingsToCome: When Nowa asks if B'baba can predict the future, she confirms she cannot: she sees the past, not the future. However, seeing the past can help one predict the future.
* EyesOutOfSight: Her eyes are always covered by a small veil featuring a ThirdEye symbol.
* KnowledgeBroker: Her role in the castle is that of the "detective" characters from the ''Suikoden'' games, such as Taki, Richmond, and Deborah. Her divinations can give tips on how to recruit characters, and reveal background information about the characters you've already recruited.

!!Lam

[[caption-width-right:300:''Eternal Martial Artist'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/AmiKoshimizu (Japanese), Claire Wyatt (English)

->A long-time friend and rival of Riufan, she is coaxed into joining the war effort by him, proving just as capable as she was when she was in her prime (mainly by actually ''transforming into'' her own younger self).

* DualAgeModes: Lam has two forms; her actual, aged self, who appears as a hunched, stern-looking elderly woman, and herself in her prime as a lithe, blonde beauty. She can temporarily transform herself into her younger form, which gives her a considerable power boost.
* NeverMessWithGranny: She's the oldest human female recruit at 72 years-old, but is no less of a badass.
* OldMaster: While she's got skills that can make her look younger and increase her power, she is old and she does feel it, occasionally asking if she can "rest her weary bones" and suchlike.

* TheLeader: A tough, but warm-hearted Guardian who leads his own command. Marisa and the rest of the team trust him implicitly, as he leads by example.

* DaddysGirl: Garoo dotes on her, and she worships the ground he hops on in return.
* KangaroosRepresentAustralia: Well, a wallaby, but close enough. Her father's a kangaroo, they both have Australian accents, and just like her father, she has a pouch on her dress right around where kangaroos and wallabies have theirs.
* ThePollyanna: She's sunny, upbeat and positive, loving her father and Wayve more than anything. She even wants to compose a song for Viesskin.
* PunnyName: As you might guess, she's a wallaby (whose father is a kangaroo named "Garoo").

!!Lakian Arkathies Fawud

* TheChosenOne: It's heavily implied that he will eventually become the new chieftain of the Treefolk Village in the future.
* CowardlyLion: He's nervous about his involvement with saving the Proving Grounds, but he gains confidence as time goes on, becoming a brave warrior in the process.
* DishingOutDirt: Not only is he literally a tree, he also has an Earth-elemental special attack.
* PlantPerson: As with all treefolk, he is a sentient tree person.
* UseYourHead: He attacks by goring the enemy with his rather sharp head at full speed.
* WhenTreesAttack: A cute little tree-boy whose appearance belies his skill in battle against the monsters he and Nowa face while traveling to (and through) the Proving Grounds.

->A mage who is studying the art of conservation in order to more efficiently cast spells. He can join up with Nowa when they find the rune he is seeking, in the claws of a dangerous beast within the Greatwood.

* FetchQuest: To join Nowa's forces, Gieran requests that Nowa bring to him the 'Rune of Conservation', which is dropped when the Ancient Seed boss is defeated.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: In the lore, Gieran had lower reserves when it came to magic than his peers. Indeed, Gieran's MP is in fact lower than most mages. However, his rune of conversation allows his spells to cost less, offsetting this.
* ReducedManaCost: His unique Rune gives him a 20% reduced mana cost to casting spells.
* SweetTooth: Reportedly fond of sweets, as he believes cake helps his brain function.
* UtilityBelt: Gieran sports a large belt with several pockets, within which he stores vials of spells.

->'''Voiced by''': Go Shinomiya (Japanese), Neil Roberts (English)

->An Ornith accessory salesman with a fondness for shiny objects. Will join Nowa if he receives the Sparklestone, carried by monsters in the depths of the Dappled Woods.

* BirdPeople: He hails from the Ornith race.
* EarlyBirdCameo: No pun intended, but he appears in ''Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising,'' running an accessory shop in New Nevaeh.
* EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry: While he does claim to have an eye for appraising an item's worth, he absolutely ''adores'' things that glitter, shine, and sparkle, leading those who know him to wonder if those are his main (or even sole) criteria for deeming an item valuable.
* FetchQuest: Squash will join you if you bring him the Sparklestone, a shiny item with a random chance of dropping from avian enemies in the Dappled Woods.
* FluffyFashionFeathers: It's not quite clear if they're ''his own'' feathers or not, but he does have a rather fashionable-looking plume of them around his neck, above his RegalRuff.
* FurryReminder: He'll periodically squawk in his dialogue.
* GentlemanAndAScholar: Is very polite, pleasant, and cultured, with a keen eye for beautiful jewels and treasures.

[[folder:Impershi'arc]]

!!Tropes applying to the Shi'arcs
* HeritageDisconnect: A SharkMan race who hate water and love the desert. Many of them don't even believe the water ''exists''. Their myth says they once came from something called either 'Ochee' or 'Shosen', with both pronounced in a way that suggests that they may have misheard and corrupted the word "ocean" over the generations, though it's been so long they don't remember.
* LandShark: They're a race of talking sharks who live in the desert and have a cultural hatred of water.
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: In such a degree that they actually thank Nowa for the opportunity to fight when he tries to recruit them.
* SharkMan: The Shi'arcs are a race of appealing anthropomorphic sharks, who retain their shark fins and tails, and walk around with their snouts held amusingly vertically, but unlike their aquatic ancestors, they hate water.
* TalkLikeAPirate: Most of the Shi'arcs talk in 'Arr, me hearties!' pirate lingo, and have the corresponding Bristolian accent.

* BoisterousBruiser: Skyd is a warrior, and he fights with gusto He's quite the boaster and lives for combat.
* CoolOldGuy: He's an elderly shi'arc, but like all members of his race, he lives for the fight and throws his support behind Nowa with very minimal prompting.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He rules over his people with a grandfatherly kindness, and is more than willing to help Nowa when he comes looking for help in combating the Galdean Empire.

* CoolBoat: She's very proud of her ship, the Europhe.
* DefeatEqualsFriendship: Even after her fellow Shi'arcs have joined the Alliance, Scarlet insists that Nowa must first beat her in a sand-skiff race before she'll consider joining. For the player, this involves beating her course completion time of 1 minute 19 secs.
* GonkyFemme: By virtue of her being an amusingly feminised anthropomorphic shark-woman sporting a glamorous outfit and a pair of dainty little red pumps.
* NoodleIncident: Apparently, the duel between her and Sawad was a thing of crazy beauty.

->'''Voiced by''': Creator/HibikuYamamura (Japanese), Beth Chalmers (English)

-> A dark knight with a troubled history behind her, she offers to join Nowa if he can best her considerable defenses in a duel.

* BlackKnight: Evoked by her appearance, however in gameplay, she's more akin to ThePaladin.
* CombatStilettos: She's encased in a full suit of armour, but she still retains feminine flourishes, such as her pink hair (which is tied in bunches), and her armoured boots, which feature prominent high-heels.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: She's got a dark history with a foreign land's royal family, which is a bit of a sensitive subject for her.
* DarkIsNotEvil: She wears black armour, but is unambiguously heroic.
* DefeatEqualsFriendship: She requests that Nowa try to break through her shield and prove himself to her before she'll sign on with his army. Specifically, you have to deal a certain amount of damage to her under three turns[[labelnote:*]]Due to a bug, you actually have to do it in two turns, as defeating her on the third turn ends as if you failed.[[/labelnote]].
* DrawAggro: Her unique skill forces enemies to attack her, after which she counters them.
* TheExile: She was exiled from her homeland.
* FourStarBadass: She's notably the only optional character who serves as a commander alongside other more plot-significant characters like Nowa, Seign or Melridge during war sequences rather than just as a unit leader.
* MagicallyIneptFighter: She ''can'' use magic runes, however she only has space for a single Tier-2 magic rune so her options are extremely limited. Furthermore, her elemental compatibilities are terrible across the board, with the sole exceptions being Earth and Plain (i.e. non-elemental) magic.
* ThePaladin: Despite being a dark knight by title, she can function as a paladin due to her excellent tanking ability and her compatibility with defensive Earth magic.
* StoneWall: Her defense is absolutely through the roof, and in fact, Nowa has to prove that he can beat said defense in just three rounds of combat to convince her that he's worth fighting for.
* ThirdPersonPerson: She's fond of referring to herself as "[[SpellMyNameWithAThe The Reyna]]" in battle.

* DefeatEqualsFriendship: Recruiting him requires beating him in a mock battle.
* BruiserWithASoftCenter: Despite his DrillSergeantNasty vibe, he's actually a very kindly fellow.
* CruelToBeKind: The reason he pushes his men as hard as he possibly can is because he's actually something of a worry-wort who can't bear the thought of them dying.
* AFatherToHisMen: He's very protective of his troops and remembers the names of every soldier he's ever trained, which considering his age and experience is ''a lot'' of them.
* LeakedExperience: Recruiting him allows the rest of your team at the HQ to gain experience so that they won't be completely behind as the active party progresses.

->A studious treasure hunter with a friendly rivalry against Djikstra, she recruits Nowa to escort her while she traverses a sand dune rumoured to have treasures buried within.

* FetchQuest: Her recruitment process is a veritable SideQuest in itself, as Nowa must accompany her to the Den of the Dunes and beat a tanky boss, Oyamatsumi, that appears in three different forms before it's defeated and drops the Golden Grimoire she's questing for.
* FriendlyRivalry: With Djikstra. The two will trade barbs over who found a good lead first, but Quinn's the first to admit that if Djikstra thinks something is too much, then she needs to be on her guard, since he's a tough guy and wouldn't be scared off.
* HumongousHeadedHammer: Quinn is a petite, bookish-looking young woman, but surprisingly wields a huge metal warhammer, which is powered by some sort of {{Magitek}}.
* TomeOfEldritchLore: She seeks a powerful tome known as the Golden Grimoire, which is rumored to document the locations of various rune lenses.
* TreasureHunter: Quinn is a professional hunter of rare rune artifacts.

* HeroWorshipper: He is an avid consumer of knowledge regarding rune lenses, and when he found that both Pohl and Code L were members of the Alliance, he was overjoyed and rushed to meet then.
* HornedHumanoid: Dijkstra is a 'Steeryn', a type of BeastMan who appears demonic and minotaur-esque, but is actually peaceful and quite learned in personality.
* StatusBuff: His unique command allows him to buff the attack of the party.
* ThirdPersonPerson: He's really fond of referring to himself in the third person.
* TreasureHunter: He's Quinn's rival in the business of discovering rune artifacts.

->'''Voiced by''': Kousuke Goto (Japanese), James Alexander (English)

->A capybara beastyn who, with his son, Pyba, wishes to spread his love of hot spring baths around the world. When Nowa offers for them to move into the Alliance Castle and build a bath, they readily agree.
----
* BathtubBonding: Certain combinations of characters and antiques placed within his bathhouse will activate a variety of (mostly comedic) mini-scenes.
* PublicBathhouseScene: Once recruited, Cabana and his son open up a hot springs bath at castle HQ, where party characters can be seen enjoying a nice soak. The bath also serves as an area to display antique treasures discovered.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Pyba is an adorable baby capy-kin, and sits sleepily on his dad's shoulders, looking relaxed and peaceful. Cabana himself is pretty cute too!
* RodentsOfUnusualSize: The various beastyn of ''Eiyuden'' come in all shapes and sizes, and in Cabana's case, he's a 'capy-kin' -- an anthropomorphic capybara.
* RulesLawyer: Much like in real-life Japanese ''onsen'', he enforces a strict hot springs etiquette and is a stickler for the rules.

[[folder:Kenan]]
!! In General
* DraconicHumanoid: The country is populated by Dragon people.
* FlatCharacter: Due to the [[spoiler:very last minute defection of Vorrdice and Viesskin to the Alliance, they're not given much in the way of plot importance or characterization. Nowa doesn't even visit Kenani territory during the game.]]

!!Valmaurice
->The King of the Kenani.

* CavalryBetrayal: [[spoiler:During the Battle for Norristar, he arrives as reinforcements only to command his army to attack General Elektra]].

* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:His CavalryBetrayal comes to back to bite him in the penultimate battle when his general, Vorrdice, decides to renouce his oath as kingsworn and fight for the Alliance.]]
* StupidEvil: [[spoiler:He completely buys Perrielle's fake defection at face value, which is stupid enough on its own. But then during the following battle he mocks her ideal of honor to his more noble general's face, which is the final straw for Vorrdice and convinces him to defect. There's also the fact that he chose to ally himself with a faction known for FantasticRacism]].
* TheUnfought: After Vorrdice [[spoiler:betrays Valmaurice, the white dragon disappears and is not fought at any point. Vorrdice's epilogue implies that he's still alive since the general is planning a revolt]].

!!Vorrdice
->The General of the Kenani and the second-in-command of Valmaurice.

* MyMasterRightOrWrong: [[spoiler:Despite being horrified by his king's betrayal of the League, he's kingsworn and reluctantly follows his orders. Eventually, Melridge and Perrielle manage to secretly convince him to defect, upon which he renounces his oath]].
* TheOathbreaker: [[spoiler:During the Battle for the Alliance HQ he decides to renounce his oath to his king, having grown sick of his king's blatant powerlust and treachery]].

!!Viesskin
->A renowned soldier of the Kenani, he was born with one horn and became a master duelist.

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Being born with a single horn meant that he was the target of scorn among his people, causing him to develop a chip on his shoulder.
* NamedAfterTheInjury: More a birth defect than an injury, but Viesskin's title is the One-Horned General, after the fact that his right horn never fully grew in.

[[/folder]]
[[folder:Galdean Empire]]

!!In General
* TheEmpire: Galdea represents one of the growing powers on the continent of Allraan, and true to form, their ''modus operandi'' is territorial expansion -- usually by force.
* FantasticRacism: According to Seign and Hildi, discrimination against non-humans is unfortunately not uncommon among Galdeans.
* TheQueensLatin: Some of the Galdean have RP English accents, but the Empire has more of a Germanic overtone (especially in terms of naming conventions -- 'Seign', 'Heinrich', 'Hildi'), as opposed to British.

!!Dux Aldric
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dux.png]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/JojiNakata (Japanese), Andrew James Spooner (English)

->A renowned general of the Galdean army with an obsession with the Rune Lenses, he wages a war of conquest on the League of Nations.

* BigBad: He's the central antagonist of the game.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: The beginning scene with all of the Allraanian leaders together has him present himself as a firm but friendly sort who wants to work towards a compromise. As things progress, he quickly reveals his true nature as a mass murderer and bloody conqueror.
* BlingOfWar: He's decked out in shining armor with gold trimmings and a voluminous ermine cloak.
* CompositeCharacter: Visually he's something of a combination of two ''Suikoden'' villains: Facially he resembles Emperor Barbarossa of ''Suikoden I'' while his armor looks like Luca Blight's armor from ''Suikoden II''.
* BlueBlood: 'Dux' is his noble title, and is Latin for 'Duke' -- typically the highest non-royal rank in European peerages.
* DuelBoss: Played with in that while he's fought using the Dueling combat system, [[spoiler:the final showdown with him involves Nowa, Seign and Marisa taking turns dealing with him until they work together to deliver the final blow]].
* EarlyBirdCameo: He showed up in a dialog-only post-credits scene in ''Rising'' with Hurstwine as the "Mighty Dux".
* EvilCounterpart: He's as much of a MagneticHero (minus the hero) as Nowa, though other than Heinrich all of his loyal followers are self-serving villains and cowards just looking out for themselves and trying to claim a piece of the world they think Aldric will build.
* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler:He was born without the ability to use magic, which motivated him to research how to let normal folks empower themselves. Unfortunately, the only answer he finds is "sacrifice natural born rune bearers," and rather than leave it there, he proceeds to become a mass murderer.]]
* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: He claims that his research on lenses will create a better future for mankind but as Nowa, Seign, and Marisa point out, he does nothing but creating deadly weapons and making violent invasions with the powers he gained from lens.
* ObviouslyEvil: Pretty much everyone who is not his followers (with the exception of Narungarde) recognizes him as the vicious tyrant driven by ambition.
* PragmaticVillainy: The Dux is not stupid. He knows that executing Perrielle in Grum will just cause her to be a martyr so he lets her leave.
* PetTheDog: A couple instances show that despite being monstrous, he's not completely so:
** He willingly [[spoiler:lets Perrielle, Sabine, and Janquis leave Eltisweiss without a fuss, when he could have just as easily held them or killed them.]]
** When Heinrich [[spoiler:gives himself up as a diversion to allow Aldric to escape, Aldric takes a moment to sincerely and solemnly thank his knight for his service, a fact that Heinrich equally appreciates.]]
* PsychoticSmirk: Has one of them in the beginning at the conference right after the expedition is completed.
* RankScalesWithAsskicking: Aside from being a feared military commander, he's also plenty dangerous in combat especially since he's able to absorb power from a nearby Primal Rune whenever he's fought.
* SwordBeam: During his duels he'll occasionally shoot out a red shockwave with a swing of his sword.
* TheUsurper: After the assassination of the Emperor he proceeds to take power over the Empire. While his involvement in it is suspected by many, it's only at the end where [[spoiler:evidence is discovered that he was the one who had the Emperor assassinated and the Crown Prince sequestered]].
* VillainousBreakdown: He has two notable instances near the end.
** During the battle for the Alliance Fort, as things fall apart for him due to [[spoiler:Marisa and Markus disabling his Revenant forces, reinforcements from both General Elektra and Lakian as well as betrayal from his allies in the form of Vorrdice and Goldwyn]]. Aldric quickly loses composure as the battle rapidly goes against his favor.
** [[spoiler:During the final battle against him, as he finds himself backed into a corner by Nowa, Seign and Marisa, he frustratedly screams for more power. His final words as he's knocked into the Primal Rune is to pathetically plead for them to not take away "the shine"]].
* WorthyOpponent: He genuinely respects the guile and pluck that Perrielle serves him, and even [[spoiler:in their final confrontation, he acknowledges her as being WiseBeyondTheirYears.]]
* WouldHurtAChild: Not only children, whole villages for his [[spoiler: research on Rune lenses and making monsters out of them]]

!!Chapell Winlart
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chappell.png]]
->'''Voiced by''': Takaya Kiyosato (Japanese), Tyler Collins (English)

-> An opportunistic Imperial general, Chappell is quick to suck up to the dux in a bid for power. He leads the first assault against Perrielle's forces in Elterweiss.

* DefiantToTheEnd: He refuses to concede to the Alliance. [[spoiler:He dies in battle trying to keep Eltisweiss in Imperial hands]].
* {{Egopolis}}: [[spoiler:When Hishahn is captured, he renames the town after himself]].
* HateSink: Cowardly, pompous, self-serving, and whiny - it's pretty clear that he's not a character who's not meant to be liked.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Decide not to send reinforcements to the East gate to support Seign when Eltriweiss falls at the start of the game, making it possible for Nowa and his entourage to escape and start the Alliance army.
* ProfessionalButtKisser: He's a pompous creep who constantly sings praises to Aldric.
* ShockAndAwe: He bears the Rune of Tempest, which allows for powerful lightning spells.

!!Craigh Kesling
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/craigh.png]]

->The head of House Kesling, and the father of Seign.

* GoodParents: He loves Seign [[spoiler:and does whatever he can to help him and the Alliance as a shadow saboteur to Aldric.]]
-->''As the head of House Kesling, I do not condone your actions.'' (beat) ''But as your father, I couldn't be more proud.''

[[caption-width-right:300:''Imperial General'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Shiro Go (Japanese), Barry Aid (English)

-> An elderly general who has the loyalty and respect of his men, General Goldwyn serves the Emperor and his young son. He and the dux have little love for each other, as he often thinks the dux acts as if he is the emperor.

* FourStarBadass: He's stated to be the Empire's most accomplished General.
* MyCountryRightOrWrong: He fights in the war for the sake of his nation and makes it clear that he has no personal love for the Dux. [[spoiler:Upon given concrete evidence that the Dux was behind the assassination of the Emperor and a letter from the sequestered Crown Prince to put the Dux to the sword, he's given all the incentive he needs to openly oppose him]].
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He's a deeply noble man whose loyalties lie solely with the Emperor rather than Aldric. [[spoiler:It's also one of the reasons Aldric had him sent out far from the capital since he'd be the biggest opponent to a coup. After obtaining evidence of Aldrics' hand in the emperors' assassination and his subsequent treatment of the emperors' son, he defects to the Alliance.]]

!!Hurstwine
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hurstwine_6.png]]
->'''Voiced by''': Taisuke Nakano (Japanese), Stephen Spencer (English)

->An agent of the Empire with a history with New Nevaea (especially Garoo) and a loathing of non-humans.

* ButForMeItWasTuesday: When Nowa confronts him about burning down Kyshiri village, Hurstwine coldly responds that he's committed so many atrocities in the empire's name that he can't tell one weeping peasant's complaints from the next.
* ChekhovsGun: After getting captured by the Alliance, the guards at his cell note that he's been requesting extra salt with his meals. [[spoiler:Turns out he was using that extra salt to rust away the metal bars in an effort to escape, and attempt to kill Nowa before returning to the Empire.]]
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: What his attempt to kill Nowa after the Alliance's victory over Aldric's army boils down to, regardless of whether or not you manage to recruit all 119 heroes up to that point. [[spoiler:Either Parrielle winds up TakingTheBullet to protect Nowa (less than 119), or Leene leaps in and deflects the arrow, preventing any deaths (all 119).]] Either way, his attempt at turning the Alliance's greatest triumph into a PyrrhicVictory fails.
* FantasticRacism: Absolutely ''hates'' any of the non-humanoid characters, referring to them as "tailed freaks" with "disgusting appendages," among other things. He is not subtle at all about this.
* GoodEyesEvilEyes: Hurstwine has wide, intense eyes with constricted pupils, which lends him a crazed, threatening look.
* HateSink: An amoral, racist and violent man with no redeeming qualities.
* HeroKiller: He can potentially end up killing [[spoiler:Perrielle as she shields Nowa from an arrow dripped with deadly poison]].
* InTheHood: In keeping with his threatening vibe, he sports a long cape with a hood.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Incredibly racist towards the non-human characters.

->The Dux's most devoted general.

* BlingOfWar: Heinrich is nearly as opulently dressed as the Dux, sporting silver-white suit of armour and a billowing champagne-coloured cape.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: [[spoiler:Disables his regule after his defeat in battle, causing him to explode in a firestorm]].
* PlayingWithFire: Henrich uses the most powerful fire spells in addition to his blade. [[spoiler:He also uses fire as his last-ditch attempt after being dealt a fatal wound]].
* TakingYouWithMe: Upon being defeated [[spoiler:he removes the limiters on his Rune Lens in an attempt to take out the heroes in a massive explosion]].
* TheOnlyBeliever: He seems to be the only member of Aldric's forces that truly believes he's a force of justice, the others only following him out of loyalty to a superior officer or just having their own agendas.
* UndyingLoyalty: He's the Dux's most fanatical follower since he saved him from losing control of his Rune Lens when he was young.
* VillainousValor: You gotta give the guy credit: [[spoiler:Him having a last stand against an entire army to protect Aldric is damn noble of him.]]

!!Narungarde
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/narungarde.png]]

->'''Voiced by''': Creator/MieSonozaki (Japanese), Nicole Gose (English)

* TheDragon: She's revealed to be behind and in support of every action carried out by Dux Aldric.
* TheFaceless: Hides her face behind a Japanese-style ''kitsune'' (fox) mask.
* ForcedSleep: She can cast the "Reaper's Lullaby" sleep spell on either a single character, or on ''the entire party'' if you knock Hurstwine out first during your first boss battle with them.
* LadyOfBlackMagic: She's very elegant and graceful, dressed in feminine clothing with a female fox mask, eschewing physical attacks and wielding only powerful darkness based spells.
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: She actually couldn't care less what happens in the Empire, but her goals happen to align with Aldric's so she sides with him. It's telling that when the heroes have Aldric basically to the wall, she goes ScrewThisImOuttaHere, but with a promise that WeWillMeetAgain.

!!Emperor Balzac Fretranthys
* TheUnseen: Mentioned a lot, but never seen before he gets [[spoiler: assassinated offscreen.]]
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: In-game, he's mostly addressed as The Emperor. His given name is only revealed in Goldwyn's background while his family name is known because the Crown Prince's full name (Ishmal Fretranthys) is known.

* TheLostLenore: There was a woman in Clarke's past he deeply loved. The theater is closed for one day while he visits her grave.
* LuckBasedMission: To recruit Clarke, Nowa must find a theatrical script that truly moves him, what with Clarke being something of a idealistic LoveFreak. Said script -- a thinly-veiled analogue of ''Romeo and Juliet'' dubbed "Star Crossed Lovers" -- can be found in the item store in Ardindale, but it has only a very small chance of showing up every 30 real minutes or so.
* MasterActor: Once recruited, Clarke builds a theatre at the HQ, and is on hand to direct and star in a diverse range of plays, depending on the scripts that Nowa brings to him.

* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler: After the battle at the Alliance Castle, it's revealed that he was tortured by the Empire for its location, but gave them nothing.]]
* TheGoodKing: Played with; He's stated by Elektra to be an excellent king during peacetime, but since the game is taking place during a war he comes off as a self-interest coward who refuses to devote resources to his allies [[spoiler:and eventually decides to abandon his people to save his own skin (though it's implied that he eventually came to regret it so much that he chose to die)]].
* DirtyCoward: Zigzagged; [[spoiler:After the Empire invades his city, he decides to abandon his people and escape for his life. However, upon being captured he evidently died without giving up his former allies, with Vorrdice speculating that he came to regret his cowardice]]
* KilledOffscreen: [[spoiler: Is tortured to death by the Empire sometime after the fall of Norristar]]
* WalkingSpoiler: A lot of the impact that Sallas has on the plot only happens [[spoiler:after his death]].
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: [[spoiler:In spite of his earlier cowardice, when put under torture he ultimately refused to give up the location of the Alliance HQ seemingly out of a desire to atone. Learning of this convinces Elektra that deep down Sallas was the decent man she believed him to be]].
