'''Debut:''' The Stirring Shadows (Part 1 NPC, Part 2 summonable), Postmortem Panic (Halloween)

A priestess of the heretical Church of All whom Heinwald and Curran encountered in [[TownWithADarkSecret Teinsom]].
\\\
For Halloween she dresses up as a vampire.

[[AC:Regular]]
* [[AnimalsHateHim Animals Hate Her]]: She has this quote when clicked on in the main screen.
--> "I tend to be disliked by animals. When our eyes meet, they flee in terror."
* BackstoryInvader: Akasha has mysteriously convinced the main characters that she's [[RememberTheNewGuy an old time friend of theirs]]. Heinwald suspects she's implanted FakeMemories, but Akasha claims she merely encouraged memories of their encounters in past lives and future possibilities.
** [[https://comic.dragalialost.com/dragalialife/en/#detail/714 Dragalia Life #168]] humourously suggests that her methods are, well, significantly more [[{{Blackmail}} mundane.]]
* BlowYouAway: Her Mana Spiral adds Stormlash to Vital Gate.
* TheCorruptor: Seeks out those with desirous souls and draws them into the Church of All.
* DealWithTheDevil: After the grimoire she was studying mysteriously kills two fellow researchers, Akasha was pulled not only off her research but out of the [[WizardingSchool magic university]] entirely for her own safety. Realizing she was about to be cut off from the only thing that had ever mattered in her life, she finally broke and offered herself to the Ancient One to obtain it.
* DemonicPossession: Or Eldritch Possession. It's not really clear where Akasha ends and the Ancient One begins. But either way, she's now a direct extension of His will rather than her own person.
* EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench: She has a very sensual French accent.
* EvilCounterpart: To Heinwald. Even her epithet is a play on his.
* ExtremeDoormat: Akasha was once a timid pushover of grad student at a magic university who would let just about anyone exploit her work so long as she could continue her pursuit of knowledge. It was only when even that was taken away from her that she finally snapped.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Started off as a spineless and frequently picked on graduate student. Now she is basically Yog Sothoth.
* GateOfTruth: She's an avatar of the Ancient One (aka Yog Sothoth), making her the Gate as well.
* GradualRegeneration: Her gameplay revolves around this not just in healing, but even in charging the party's skills.
* {{High Priest}}: For the Church of All, a cult dedicated to ushering the Ancient One into the mortal realm.
* HornedHairdo: Has two cowlicks that resemble devil horns, which she also had before her StartOfDarkness.
* HumanoidAbomination: Though [[WasOnceAMan once mortal]], Akasha is now an avatar of the Ancient One.
* KarmaHoudini: She never gets any punishment for her actions in Stirring Shadows, escaping without suffering any comeuppance. Afterward, she manages to work her way into the Halidom as mentioned in BackstoryInvader just so she can be closer to Heinwald. She doesn't get any punishment for that either and instead gets to stay with the crew with the only ones knowing her true colors being Curran, Heinwald, and Lathna. The worst she has is the fact that those three (or at the very least, Heinwald) have their eye on her, not that she minds.
* KeeperOfForbiddenKnowledge: Akasha has a direct line to the Ancient One and thus an unfathomable wealth of knowledge with which to tempt Heinwald. Unfortunately, Heinwald finds the idea of simply having knowledge handed to him unfulfilling and flatly rejects the offer.
* LockedIntoStrangeness: Was originally brunette. Her hair became red upon submitting herself to the Ancient One.
* TheManInFrontOfTheMan: [[spoiler:She's not really Hastur's priestess--Hastur is her pawn.]]
* MeaningfulName: "Akasha... The name of the [[PowerOfTheVoid void]]. Akasha... The name of one who has nothing. Akasha... it is my name." Her name is also a reference to the AkashicRecords.
* MouthOfSauron: Appears to be this for the Ancient One.
* MultipleChoicePast: Akasha admits to Heinwald that the StartOfDarkness that she shows to him is only one of many
* NonLinearCharacter: As she has a direct line the Ancient One (who is heavily implied to be Yog Sothoth), Akasha can peer forwards, backwards, and [[AlternateTimeline sideways]] into time, though she appears to have lost her original self in the process.
* NotSoDifferentRemark: She reveals her past (or at least ''[[MultipleChoicePast a]]'' past) to Heinwald in hopes of convincing him that not only are they fellow seekers of truth, but that she has also already successfully ''obtained'' that knowledge and can lead Heinwald to the same destination.
* RapunzelHair: Her hair goes past her feet in her picture.
* StartOfDarkness: The focus of her Adventurer Story.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Possibly intentional, considering her position. But it's still ''very'' revealing above the waist. One must wonder ''how those strips covering her chest even stay on''.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Akasha is the antagonist of the Stirring Shadows story event. And while she does join the Halidom, she pulls no HeelFaceTurn in the process. Instead, she's infiltrated with the intent of luring Heinwald onto the path of the Ancient One.
* VillainousCrush: She immediately takes a strong interest in [[Characters/DragaliaLostRecruitableAdventurersShadow Heinwald]], even following him to the Halidom after Stirring Shadows

[[AC: Halloween]]
->''"Won't you let me have some fun"''
* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: [[spoiler:Her vampire costume in ''Postmortem Panic'' allows her to emulate some vampiric powers, most notably glamour magic and stealth. She notes that she cannot turn her body into mist when explaining the latter.]]
* {{Hammerspace}}: In ''Dragalia Life'' #299, she can make a portal that she can either store or take out items behind Heinwald's back (probably partly to tease/just mess with him).
* HorrifyingTheHorror: In her Adventure Story, she manages to do this to an actual vampire.[[note]]Then again, see the section of her Regular self above.[[/note]]
* VampiresAreSexGods: In her Adventure Story, in one night she seduces nearly a whole town which includes visiting merchants and [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer females]] by doing things like the {{kiss of the vampire}}.

[[caption-width-right:350:The Wing of War]]

->''"I will be the instrument of her authority."''\\
'''Voiced by:''' Ken Narita (Japanese), Colin Cowan (English)\\

'''Weapon type:''' Wand\\
'''Debut:''' Divine Deception [NPC], Faith Forsaken (Part 2) [Playable]

A member of the apostles who betrayed them to aid Loki in reviving Satan to stop the Progenitor. In finding out he had been tricked though, he works with the apostles once more to undo the damage he had done.

For tropes during his time as an antagonist, [[Characters/DragaliaLostAntagonistsCampaign look here]].

* TheAtoner: Basileus has deep regrets most of what he had done aside from getting his revenge on Graht which he considered WorthIt. He works to undo his wrongdoings while accepting any punishment afterwards.
* BlowYouAway: He is the Wind-elemental Apostle, sigil-bound to the Wind archangel Michael.
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: PlayedForLaughs in Dragalia Life #400, where he's on the receiving end of this from Luca, who repeatedly bops him in the face with his ears, but won't allow Basileus to pet them.
* EasilyForgiven: Subverted. While it seems like he eventually rejoins the Apostles without issue in the second half of Faith Forsaken, it turns out he's later scheduled to have Michael transferred to another Apostle once everything has settled down, which is effectively a death sentence.
* KungFuWizard: He's notably the first wand-wielder to have a completely different playstyle and effects depending on whether he's up close or far away from the enemy. When his sigil is released, both playstyles and their effects unify as one.
* MagicStaff: He wields a wand in battle to channel his wind magic.
* RebuiltPedestal: Averted. Even though Basileus is back to working with the apostles, no amount of praise gets Pinon to forgive him for what he had done.
* SixthRangerTraitor: He is this among the Apostles, as the traitor who betrayed them.

'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YuuKobayashi (Japanese), Bethany Brown (English)\\
'''Rarity:''' 5\\

'''Weapon type:''' Manacaster (Rapid-Fire)\\
'''Debut:''' Knights of Alberia

An old comrade of Leif's who served as a loyal knight to Aurelius. His passing caused her to retire in despair.

* BeautyMark: It's easy to miss, but she has a mole below her mouth and to the right.
* DamageOverTime: Her S1, Scatterfall, inflicts Stormlash while her S2, [[PoisonousPerson Poisonblast]] deals out poison.
* FunctionalAddict: She is still very much capable of combat. However, it is clear that she is obsessed with what she calls [[GRatedDrug Manachew]] as she can't stand being without it as she says it keeps her calm.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Her scenes have her set up like a ColdSniper who'd use Long-range skills, but gameplay she functions like a Rapid-Fire one.
* GatheringSteam: She charges up her skills like Pecorine based on how she bites into her Manachew.
* GRatedDrug: Manachew, the blue rock Cecile holds, works like this in her hands. Normally, it is a pseudo-meal of sorts for mercenaries, meant to be ground up into powder and mixed into water, but the way Cecile straight up chomps down on it raw makes it look ''very'' similar to an addictive sustance.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Used to be this, as shown in the ''Knights of Alberia'' flashbacks, a far cry from her current state.
* ShellShockedVeteran: She was deeply loyal to Aurelius, and she carried out his orders to kill dragons because she believed it was the right thing to do. However, she realizes it was AllForNothing following his passing and leaves a BrokenBird. Now just the mention of joining an army causes her to have a panic attack.

'''Weapon type:''' Bow\\

A Sylvan tribal leader who is out for vengeance against the Empire for the slaughter of her village -- but that can fall by the wayside sometimes when she gets the chance to see how humans live.

* BareYourMidriff: Like many Sylvans.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: She didn't choose to be chief, and wanted to be free of the responsibility so she could pursue her interest in human culture. She had gotten her wishes granted in the worst way possible when her village was destroyed and has felt guilty about her love of humans ever since.

* PoisonousPerson: Her kit is stacked for inflicting poison to enemies.

* {{Chuunibyou}}: While he is a powerful fighter, he speaks and acts like a chuunibyou that Notte has to tell him to get it together during "Rage of Chronos." The cast, starting with Notte, threaten to tape his mouth shut if he doesn't start using normal words in his Adventurer Story.
* EndearinglyDorky: The war god makes his debut in ''Dragalia Lost'' and is as hilariously dorky as ever!
* GuestFighter: He's also from ''VideoGame/RageOfBahamut''.
* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: "Grimnir" is one of the names of [[Myth/NorseMythology Odin]].
* TimePolice: His true role is he's a Tuner who makes sure timelines go according to plan. He does, however, notice something is wrong with Euden compared to all the other timelines.
* TookALevelInBadass: Grimnir, during the special fight in ''Rage of Chronos'', was a total joke and would die faster than you could care to fight him. In Trials of the Mighty, however, he whips out an assortment of tricks that will push you to your limits.
