History Characters / FireEmblemTheBlazingBladeNeutralParties

* HopeSpot: [[spoiler:At the end of Zephiel's character arc in ''The Blazing Blade'', his mother's HeelRealization and his renewed hope that they'll be able to convince Desmond to be a better father makes it look like they'll be alright. [[ForegoneConclusion They weren't]]: The very next chapter (if you do not take the sidequest) revealed that Desmond was in a "dark and terrible mood" over the failure of the attempt on Zephiel's life, and in ''The Binding Blade'' it's revealed that he tried to kill his son ''again'', destroying any hope for humanity Zephiel had left.]]

* KickTheDog: His first villainous act is ordering to have the baby fox that Zephiel got as a gift for Guinivere killed.

!Santaruz
[[folder:Lord Helman of Santaruz]]
The Marquess of Santaruz. Initially entranced by Ephidel and Darin's plans, he comes to realize the horror of what he's doing and attempts to back out.

!Others

[[folder:Hannah]]
->'''Class:''' Shaman
An elderly fortune teller who came into Eliwood's/Hector's service.

* FieryRedhead: While it may [[BaldofEvil lack hair]] due to being a hairless reptile, it's [[RedIsViolent blood red scales]] and [[RedEyesTakeWarning eyes]] lend itself perfectly for bringing the intimidation factor along side bellowing [[HellIsThatNoise ear-splitting roars]] [[RoarBeforeBeating right before]] it [[KillItWithFire turns whoever is in it's way into nothing more than a smoldering wreck on the ground.]] And that's before you take into account that it's brethren were killed, and has [[RoaringRampageofRevenge decided to burn the whole damn continent it's standing on the ground!]]

The affable captain of a group of pirates. He provides Eliwood and the others transportation to the Dread Isle.

* AFatherToHisMen: He treats his whole crew like an extended family. And his lieutenant Dart is practically his adopted son.

* {{Pirate}}: The roguish variety. It's implied that his crew doesn't plunder ships, but is involved with risky trade in illegal goods.

** Subverted offscreen, where his crew is implied to get into some dangerous business [[spoiler:(dangerous enough for Dart to be [[NeverFoundTheBody supposedly killed in the epilogue]])]], but in-game they don't do anything particularly pirate-like.

* HeroesWantRedheads: Matthew sure does.

* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Subverted offscreen, where his crew is implied to get into some dangerous business [[spoiler:(dangerous enough for Dart to be [[NeverFoundTheBody supposedly killed in the epilogue]])]], but in-game they don't do anything particularly pirate-like.

* AscendedExtra: The addition of “Talons Alight” to Hector’s story gives his company a little more setup, including actual depiction of their openly rebelling against Ostia via attacking the occupied Laus Castle. On Eliwood’s path, his role is limited to one chapter (though he gets the same measure of screentime).

* PaletteSwap: Of Beyard.

* RedBaron: He’s known as the “Fierce Eagle” for his swift, piercing strikes; the English localisation mistranslated it as “Hurricane” (which is Legault’s NomDeGuerre).

* PaletteSwap: Of Oleg.
* RouteBoss: Only fought in Chapter 15 of Hector’s route.

* RouteBoss: Fought only in Chapter 28 of Eliwood’s route; it still happens offscreen on Hector’s path, we just don’t see it.

* RouteBoss: Fought only in Chapter 30 of Hector’s route; unlike his counterpart, there’s no explicit indication that Hector partook in the trial.

* DoomedByCanon: [[spoiler:Given that Hector is Marquess of Ostia by ''The Binding Blade'' instead of any of his children, it's clear that Uther will have to bite it sometime beforehand.]]

* TheResenter: He's defined by his endless resentment of his son Zephiel, who is far smarter, stronger, and more charismatic than him.

* PeekABangs: Her bangs cover her right eye.

* BonusBoss: And with good reason. The official strategy guide even recommended teleporting past him to claim Durandal rather than stand and fight him. If you do, though, you get to claim his Tomahawk, which is basically a [[InfinityMinusOneSword jacked up hand axe.]]

* GoodParents: She worries about Eliwood when he leaves and begs him to stay for a night when he heads to Bern.

* SlasherSmile: [[spoiler:Seen [[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v139/VincentASM/Site/FE7/55.png in the epilogue]].]]

* UptownGuy: Guinivere's mother, whom he did love, was a commoner, and they were unable to marry because of this.

* NiceGuy: [[spoiler:Initially...]]

* StartOfDarkness: [[spoiler:Again, in the epilogue.]]

* FreudianExcuse: He has an [[TheAce ace]] son and ideal heir from an unwanted, legitimate marriage whom he envies, and the woman he ''does'' love is not only unable to be more than a mere mistress, but bore him a daughter. [[SincerityMode Yes, it's just as weak and pathetic an excuse as it sounds.]] No wonder fans despise him.

* HateSink: For a character who appears in all of two scenes in this game and is a PosthumousCharacter in the next, he's probably one of the most despicable characters in the game, quite possibly because, unlike even the rest of the setting's nastiest specimens, he has no EvilIsCool points whatsoever. In fact, he's a huge loser. He's probably rivaled only by Lundgren in the fandom wrath he receives.

* UptownGirl: Gender inverted; Guinivere's mother, whom he did love, was a commoner, and they were unable to marry because of this.

* AnAxeToGrind: It's his only available weapon. Not that he needs anything else.

* AnAxeToGrind: As a Berserker, he only wields axes; he's equipped with a Tomahawk, specifically.

* AnAxeToGrind: Kind of unusual; while axes are available to the Hero class and pretty much every Hero boss uses them in addition to swords, it's rare for them to be the preferred weapon of Hero bosses, never mind their only one.
