[[folder:Edelgard]]
!!Edelgard von Hresvelg
The princess of the Adrestian Empire, future Emperor and the house leader of the Black Eagles. A strong-willed and dignified young lady who has ambitions for the Empire and Fodlan, she's impressed by Goetia's vast knowledge and magical abilities and hopes to recruit him into the Adrestian Empire.
----
* AntiVillain: Since the story on Byleth's side is going with the Azure Moon route, Edelgard is bound to be an enemy for Byleth in the future, especially for Dimitri. Edelgard seeks to abolish the Crest system that has been abused by the corrupt for a long time and seeks a world where people can be equals regardless of power or status, even if it means resorting to extreme methods, like planning a war against the Church, or reluctantly allying with the Agarthans to make her dream a reality.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: She was kidnapped and experimented on by the Agarthans along with her siblings. Only she survived while the rest either died during the experiments or went insane from the experience.
* DramaticIrony: She assumes that Rhea's motives for joining the Black Eagles on their way to Enbarr is out of political power play for the Church. She is unaware of the huge drama that happened in the aftermath of [[spoiler:Sitri's attack]] between Rhea and her allies and that Rhea wants to fix her mistakes thanks to Goetia's prodding.
* MysticalWhiteHair: She has white hair and Goetia gotten involved in the battle in Remire Village because he sensed her dual Crests.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: She stands at 158cm yet is capable of wielding an axe.
* SecretSecretKeeper:
** She is aware of Rhea's draconic heritage thanks to the [[UnreliableNarrator biased information given to her by the Agarthans]] during her captivity.
** [[spoiler:The events of Cindered Shadows and Lemegeton's confirmation has Edelgard figure out that Goetia's a former demon]].
** [[spoiler: She is made aware of the Crest Stone implanted in Byleth during Lemegeton's discussion regarding the results from the Blue Lion's fight with the empowered Miklan.]]
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: She makes it clear she despises working for the Agarthans after what they did to her and her siblings, and she is terrified of their new ally. One of the reasons she seeks Goetia's help is in hopes of breaking ties with the Agarthans.
* VillainHasAPoint: While not evil and her methods to bring down the corrupt society of Fodlan can be considered extreme, it is hard to ignore the [[KnightTemplar negative]] [[MedievalStasis aspects]] of it stemming from Rhea's negligence not to mention the presence of the [[WretchedHive Abyss]] being so downtrodden that it disgusts Goetia to the point of taking on Aelfric's mantle after his death as the new Overseer.

* WhatTheHellHero: She and Dimitri scolded Claude after they find out that he sent Linhardt to fetch Goetia to bring him to Abyss despite Byleth making it clear earlier that she didn't want to trouble him due to him currently under house-arrest.
* YourDaysAreNumbered: [[spoiler:She suffers from the same condition that Lysithea has, thanks to the experimentations from the Agarthans. It is also one of her reasons on why she is determined to make changes to Fodlan no matter the cost]].

[[folder:Dimitri]]
!!Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd
The crown prince of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus and the house leader of the Blue Lions. A kind-hearted and chivalrous young man, he's one of the few students who is welcoming to Goetia despite his mysterious background. Underneath his warm façade, he hides a darker side that he struggles to keep in control ever since the Tragedy of Duscur.
----
* BeneathTheMask: Although Dimitri presents himself as a kind, noble and chivalric knight, underneath it all is a deeply traumatized young man who struggles to control an [[AxeCrazy unstable]], [[BloodKnight bloodthirsty]] dark persona that was caused by the Tragedy of Duscur. He would often let that side slip either during intense battles or whenever he's reminded of the tragedy. Due to certain events, this side is seen much earlier on compared to in the games, such as during Lonato's rebellion or the raid at Conrad Tower. Only Felix is aware of this, hence his scathing 'boar king' remarks, in which Byleth takes note of to inquire about later on.
* BerserkButton: Desecration of the dead in any way due to his trauma from the Tragedy of Duscur. When Goetia talks about Necromancy to the others while in the Abyss, he explains how the Chalice's defenses most likely bind the souls of the dead who approach it into undead guardians, which enrages Dimitri that such a mechanism exists--denying the dead their eternal rest.
* BigDamnHeroes:
** [[spoiler: Dimitri was able to stop Sitri from killing a Byleth-possessed Sothis by throwing his lance at the Demon Pillar, impaling it through its wings]]. [[spoiler:The victory is cut short when Sitri's attention is drawn towards [[NiceJobBreakingItHero him and the other students who were still fleeing to safety]]. Luckily, Dimitri's actions gave Sothis the opening needed to deliver a [[WrestlerInAllOfUs suplex]] on Sitri before the Demon Pillar can retaliate]].
** [[spoiler: He joins the fray against an empowered Miklan by throwing his lance straight to his chest before the bandit leader high up and toss him aside before viciously attacking him]].
* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: While his moral compass can distinguish what's right and wrong, his standard for evil and villainy is far too strict--no matter the reason, ideology or excuse--killing is never justified in his eyes and the people who commit these acts are irredeemable evil and not worth sympathizing.
* BloodKnight: Despite his kindhearted and noble nature, Dimitri enjoys the thrill of a battle, whether it is a practice battle against Goetia or putting down rebellions. Several people have notice that he would be more disturbed and vicious during battles, Sothis even noting that he is a tad over-eager during the fight in Conard Tower.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: In the event known by many as The Tragedy of Duscur, his father was assassinated in front of him along with several of his close friends, said event was also used by Faerghus' corrupt nobility to justify pillaging Duscur.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: He manages to save Byleth [[spoiler: or rather Sothis in her body]] by throwing his lance at [[spoiler:Sitri]], impaling them. It's noted that he's the only human that managed to harm [[spoiler:the Demon God Pillar]].
* EveryoneHasStandards: He may have a strict moral code but even he finds the Chalice's defense mechanism of binding the bandits' soul to use as ghostly guards to be [[FateWorseThanDeath torture]], not justice.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: He has blonde hair and is one of the idealistic and kind-hearted characters in spite of his inner turmoil thanks to his DarkAndTroubledPast.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Although he's the lord who interacted with Goetia the least, the story is going with the Azure Moon route, with Dimitri's inner demons coming out in the earlier parts of the story, such as during Lonato's rebellion and the assault on Conand Tower.
* MaskOfSanity: While he's genuinely a kindhearted young man, he keeps a lot of his insanity well-hidden that only Felix is aware of. After witnessing Goetia [[spoiler: violently destroying Lonato's army and savagely beating the old man to death]], he questions on how the demon manages to keep it together much better than him.
* StepfordSmiler: As Goetia notes, Dimitri's smile doesn't reach his eyes, hinting of his inner turmoil.
* SuperStrength: The Crest of Blaiddyd grants the user enhanced strength, though he has trouble controlling it. It's because of this that he was able to hold off Goetia a bit in close combat. [[spoiler: He also makes use of this to take down the empowered Miklan for Sylvain to land the killing blow.]]
* WhatTheHellHero:
** After he learns that Claude called for Goetia's aid behind Byleth's back, he and Edelgard chew him out for disrespecting Byleth's wish to not get Goetia in more trouble due to him [[spoiler: currently under house-arrest]].
** When Claude's incessant need to question others ends up blowing up in his face after Goetia finally lashes out at him from the repressed anger that has been boiling, both Dimitri and Lysithea quickly called him out for his insensitive questions and lack of personal boundaries.

!! Claude von Riegan
The future sovereign duke of the Leicester Alliance and the house leader of the Golden Deer. A cunning and sociable young man and self-proclaimed schemer, he takes an interest in Goetia after the mage saved his life in Remire Village. While he intends on recruiting Goetia to the Leicester Alliance, he finds himself more interested in the mysteries surrounding the former demon.
----
* ApologizesALot: As whenever his noisiness goes too far, he apologizes to Goetia in Chapter 55 for his insensitive questions about his background and Solomon when the latter was obviously in a foul mood. Goetia tells him he doesn't need to apologize, [[DontYouDarePityMe only because being pitied by others bothers him the most]].
* TheArcher: He's proficient with bows and arrows.
* ConstantlyCurious: He's always in the library mainly to ask a few questions to Goetia or digging up rumors in the Monastery.
* DeadpanSnarker: He's the snarkiest out of the three Lords.
* TheGadfly: He enjoys teasing others, his favorite targets being Dimitri, Lysithea and Goetia.
* FatalFlaw: His curiosity, whenever something or someone catches his interest, he feels compelled to figure out all that he can about them. Unfortunately, [[InnocentlyInsensitive this can result in him being too pushy and foregoing tact disregarding the subject's feelings on the matter]], with Lysithea accusing him of taking people's desire for privacy as a challenge to double down and prod even harder.
* ForWantOfANail: Claude pestering Goetia in the most inopportune time regarding Solomon leads to the normally stoic Goetia blowing up and ranting about his [[LastOfHisKind current state]], which Rhea overhears in the process and leads to her lessening her animosity towards Goetia and realizing that both her and Goetia are [[NotSoDifferentRemark not so different.]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: For someone who is interested in other people's secrets, Claude keeps plenty of secrets about himself.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Claude bringing up Solomon's name near the end of Chapter 53, unaware of the anger that has been building up in Goetia from his talk with Rhea, finally has the mage snapping at him.
* TheNicknamer: He gives a few nicknames to some of the characters. He even came up with several varieties of Goetia's nickname before finally settling for "Sparkles".
* OhCrap: Utters one in the aftermath of Goetia's rant when he realizes that he pushed him too far by continuously prying about [[BerserkButton Solomon]]
* OpenMouthInsertFoot: His deciding to grill Goetia over his background while in a tense argument with Rhea resulted in the former exploding. Dimitri and Lysithea of course make it clear how displeased they are with him.
* PrecisionFStrike: He drops one near the end of Chapter 55 [[spoiler: after the Demon Pillar possessing Aelfric revealed itself and fled with the Chalice, kidnapping Byleth and the Ashen Wolves in the process]].
-->'''Claude:''' What the fuck was that!?
* SpannerInTheWorks: Like in the original, Claude running off to Remiere Village unintentionally foiled Edelgard's assassination attempt on his and Dimitri's lives, but also lead the three to meet Byleth and later, Goetia. He becomes an even greater one when it was him almost being killed by a bandit that caused Goetia to come to his rescue, resulting in the former Beast getting tangled up with the Officer's Academy.

* EveryoneHasStandards: He may have a strict moral code but even he finds the Chalice's defense mechanism of binding the bandits' soul to use as ghostly guards to be [[FateWorseThanDeath torture]], not justice.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: He has blonde hair and is one of the idealistic and kind-hearted characters in spite of his inner turmoil thanks to his DarkAndTroubledPast.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Although he's the lord who interacted with Goetia the least, the story is going with the Azure Moon route, with Dimitri's inner demons coming out in the earlier parts of the story, such as during Lonato's rebellion and the assault on Conand Tower.
* MaskOfSanity: While he's genuinely a kindhearted young man, he keeps a lot of his insanity well-hidden that only Felix is aware of. After witnessing Goetia [[spoiler: violently destroying Lonato's army and savagely beating the old man to death]], he questions on how the demon manages to keep it together much better than him.
* StepfordSmiler: As Goetia notes, Dimitri's smile doesn't reach his eyes, hinting of his inner turmoil.
* SuperStrength: The Crest of Blaiddyd grants the user enhanced strength, though he has trouble controlling it. It's because of this that he was able to hold off Goetia a bit in close combat. [[spoiler: He also makes use of this to take down the empowered Miklan for Sylvain to land the killing blow.]]
* WhatTheHellHero:
** After he learns that Claude called for Goetia's aid behind Byleth's back, he and Edelgard chew him out for disrespecting Byleth's wish to not get Goetia in more trouble due to him [[spoiler: currently under house-arrest]].
** When Claude's incessant need to question others ends up blowing up in his face after Goetia finally lashes out at him from the repressed anger that has been boiling, both Dimitri and Lysithea quickly called him out for his insensitive questions and lack of personal boundaries.

[[folder:Claude]]
!! Claude von Riegan
The future sovereign duke of the Leicester Alliance and the house leader of the Golden Deer. A cunning and sociable young man and self-proclaimed schemer, he takes an interest in Goetia after the mage saved his life in Remire Village. While he intends on recruiting Goetia to the Leicester Alliance, he finds himself more interested in the mysteries surrounding the former demon.
----
* ApologizesALot: As whenever his noisiness goes too far, he apologizes to Goetia in Chapter 55 for his insensitive questions about his background and Solomon when the latter was obviously in a foul mood. Goetia tells him he doesn't need to apologize, [[DontYouDarePityMe only because being pitied by others bothers him the most]].
* TheArcher: He's proficient with bows and arrows.
* ConstantlyCurious: He's always in the library mainly to ask a few questions to Goetia or digging up rumors in the Monastery.
* DeadpanSnarker: He's the snarkiest out of the three Lords.
* TheGadfly: He enjoys teasing others, his favorite targets being Dimitri, Lysithea and Goetia.
* FatalFlaw: His curiosity, whenever something or someone catches his interest, he feels compelled to figure out all that he can about them. Unfortunately, [[InnocentlyInsensitive this can result in him being too pushy and foregoing tact disregarding the subject's feelings on the matter]], with Lysithea accusing him of taking people's desire for privacy as a challenge to double down and prod even harder.
* ForWantOfANail: Claude pestering Goetia in the most inopportune time regarding Solomon leads to the normally stoic Goetia blowing up and ranting about his [[LastOfHisKind current state]], which Rhea overhears in the process and leads to her lessening her animosity towards Goetia and realizing that both her and Goetia are [[NotSoDifferentRemark not so different.]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: For someone who is interested in other people's secrets, Claude keeps plenty of secrets about himself.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Claude bringing up Solomon's name near the end of Chapter 53, unaware of the anger that has been building up in Goetia from his talk with Rhea, finally has the mage snapping at him.
* TheNicknamer: He gives a few nicknames to some of the characters. He even came up with several varieties of Goetia's nickname before finally settling for "Sparkles".
* OhCrap: Utters one in the aftermath of Goetia's rant when he realizes that he pushed him too far by continuously prying about [[BerserkButton Solomon]]
* OpenMouthInsertFoot: His deciding to grill Goetia over his background while in a tense argument with Rhea resulted in the former exploding. Dimitri and Lysithea of course make it clear how displeased they are with him.
* PrecisionFStrike: He drops one near the end of Chapter 55 [[spoiler: after the Demon Pillar possessing Aelfric revealed itself and fled with the Chalice, kidnapping Byleth and the Ashen Wolves in the process]].
-->'''Claude:''' What the fuck was that!?
* SpannerInTheWorks: Like in the original, Claude running off to Remiere Village unintentionally foiled Edelgard's assassination attempt on his and Dimitri's lives, but also lead the three to meet Byleth and later, Goetia. He becomes an even greater one when it was him almost being killed by a bandit that caused Goetia to come to his rescue, resulting in the former Beast getting tangled up with the Officer's Academy.
