* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: In the second season of the Living Story, he is the racial leader who takes the least amount of convincing to attend the summit and has the most valid reason to be hesitant (a direct and persistent threat to his lands). Even when the attempt to solve the issue fails he goes with his word, while being supportive of Rox. Unfortunately, he quickly loses this quality when Bangar kicks off a civil war.
!!Torga Desertgrave
Tribune of the Ash Legion.
----
* FourStarBadass: As a tribune, she is second only to an imperator.
* TheSpymaster
!!Almorra Soulkeeper
Founder and leader of the Vigil, one of Tyria's three orders that seek to defeat the Elder Dragons. Her entire warband was destroyed by a dragon, making her realize no one could hope to fight the dragons alone. With this experience in mind she formed the Vigil, a people's army of all the races of Tyria dedicated to fight dragon corruption wherever it surfaced.
----
* FourStarBadass
* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic
* KilledOffscreen: [[spoiler: The Commander finds her corpse in the first episode of the Icebrood Saga. Visions of the Past reveals that despite being exhausted by fights with the Svanir and Ryland, she still defiantly told Bangar where he could shove his WeCanRuleTogether offer and he killed her in a rage as a result. ]]
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe
* OffingTheOffspring: She doesn't do it herself, but she does approve of Forgal and the player character having to kill her Renegade son - Ajax Anvilburn - out of necessity.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure
* SoleSurvivor: Of her warband, from when Kralkatorrik flew over the cavern they were patrolling.
* WorkingWithTheEx: She and Bangar were an item in the past, with Ajax being their son. Despite diametrically opposing views having made them extremely bitter towards each other, they at least ''tried'' to hold up a veneer of civility [[spoiler: until he killed her.]]
!!Efram Greetsglory
Recognized Imperator of the new Flame Legion
----
* AFatherToHisMen: Well aware of the precarious position his people are in due to the actions of former generations of Flame Legion and very protective, especially of the cubs.
* AnIcePerson / ShockAndAwe / DishingOutDirt: Unlike nearly every other member of the Flame Legion who's appeared in the game, Efram is a full-attunement elementalist and can throw more than fire.
* TheAtoner: For the Flame Legion as a whole. Desperately wants to make amends for the cruelty and maliciousness displayed by the shamans of the past.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Is gentle, accommodating, and effusive, unless you harm those under his watch. Takes the Commander to task when he thinks they've been hiding a threat to his people from him, [[spoiler: and drops his good nature entirely to threaten Smodur on learning the latter tricked his shamans into helping make a Searing crystal.]]
* TimeToStepUpCommander: After Gaheron's (permanent) demise, the Flame Legion fell into total disarray. With starvation and being annihilated by the other legions a distinct possibility, Efram's the one who took on the role of making sure his people survive. Not everyone has accepted this, but he's gaining ground with both the United Legions and the scattered Flame enclaves by the end of Icebrood Saga.
!!Lightbringer Tybalt Leftpaw
He is a charr engineer and the NPC partner if the player chooses to join the Order of Whispers. He actually never has been on a field mission, and the player's first mission with him is his first as well.
----
* ArtificialLimbs: His right arm is a prosthetic. [[spoiler:It's the reason why he doesn't do field duty until the player comes in]].
* CowardlyLion: Cowardly Charr: Due to his missing arm, he suffers from serious self-esteem issues and doesn't really think he's got it in him to make a good field agent. All things considered, he's still pretty badass and cunning when it counts.
* DisguisedInDrag: Disguises as a ''human'' female to lure a pirate captain. HilarityEnsues.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Stays behind at the Battle of Claw Island to give the player character time to escape with the remnants of the Lionguard]].
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: [[spoiler:The player character]] ends as this for him.
* SadClown: His goofy sense of humor belies the fact that he doesn't have a whole lot of confidence in himself.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Apples. In fact, he's so fond of apples that he pretends to be an apple seller in his first meeting with the player, disguises traps as barrels of apples and [[spoiler:uses apples as a password]]. As a Mist Champion in Stronghold, his skills are all apple-themed.
* YouShallNotPass: [[spoiler:At Claw Island.]]
!!Galina Edgecrusher and Snarl Backdraft
A duo you encounter as an Iron Legion character, and an option you're given to recruit during one of the Vigil order missions.
----
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: And they won't even admit it.
* InterserviceRivalry: Half the reason they're always butting heads is because they're from different Legions, and are always getting pitted against - or with - each other.
* RedOniBlueOni: Galina and Snarl, respectively. She's a hotheaded Blood Legion soldier who prefers taking the direct approach, while he's a more meticulous agent of the Ash Legion.
* SlapSlapKiss: Pretty much sums up their entire relationship.
!!Gaheron Baelfire
The Imperator of the Flame Legion, worshipped by the Flame Legion as a god. He is fought in the Citadel of Flame story path as the last boss, and once again in one of the explorable paths.
----
* BackFromTheDead: Defied -- you prevent this from happening in one of the explorable paths of Citadel of Flame.
* BadBoss: He have no qualms sending groups of his own men to their deaths just to try to kill one person.
* GodhoodSeeker: He tried to become one.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: To defeat him, you need to throw molten hearts at him, which are dropped on the ground when his lava rocks hit Logan's shield.
* KilledOffForReal: At the end of Citadel of Flame.
* MagmaMan: While in his ascended form, although closer inspections shows that it may merely just be a shield for his regular form.
* PlayingWithFire: Very good at fire magic, especially in his ascended form.
!!Evon Gnashblade
The owner of the Black Lion Trading Company, and a highly successful businessman.
----
* AscendedExtra: At launch, he was just an NPC who served as flavor for Lion's Arch, and who otherwise played no role in the personal story. His background and character were expanded upon in the Living Story.
* TheRival: To Ellen Kiel, ever since the two competed for a seat on the Captain's Council.
* SoreLoser: He remains bitter for months after losing the election. Goes as far as to use Scarlet's attack on Lion's Arch [[CassandraDidIt as an excuse to drag Ellen's name through the mud.]]
!Personal-story only
!!Clement Forktail
The Charr player's sire if they picked the "Sorcerous Shaman" background.
----
* TheAtoner
!!Your Original Warband
The group of Charr you live, work, and fight with. Only one of them will survive the starting mission; your best friend and sparring partner, who you choose in character creation from the first five.
----
* ForWantOfANail: Who lives and who dies is completely up to you.
* TheLancer: The survivor will become this to the PC, eventually becoming the warband's new Legionnaire when the player, at the rank of Centurion, is detached to join one of the Orders.
!!Maverick
A cocky young Charr, described by the hero as the best single combat fighter they've ever known.
----
* BoisterousBruiser
* InformedAbility: Constantly boasts about his prowess, even though his actual performance as an ally leaves little to be desired.
!!Euryale
The group's Elementalist, described as the most loyal soldier in the warband. Foul tempered, stubborn, and honest.
!!Clawspur
The group's Thief.
----
* CombatPragmatist
* TheQuietOne
!!Dinky
The group's Guardian, and grunt of the farhar.
----
* TheBigGuy: Despite the fact that he was formerly the runt of his litter.
* DumbMuscle
!!Reeva
The group's Engineer, described as a fun-loving jokester.
----
* FunPersonified: Well, by Charr standards, at the very least.
!!Howl the Brazen
Lieutenant of your warband (Legionnaire in the Ash Legion origin story), who dies in the collapse of Barradin's crypt. [[spoiler: Later resurrected by a necromancer, providing you with motivation to work with the Orders.]]
----
* ChekhovsGun: Your surviving warband mate will mention Howl had a certain magical trinket with him when he died. [[spoiler: It was the necromancer's amulet that eventually raises him from his grave.]]
!!Legionnaire Urvan Steelbane
Legionnaire of your warband for Blood Legion Charr.
----
* DirtyCoward: Treats you like crap and is always talking about putting you in your place, but when you start proving your worth in the arena so that you can take over as Legionnaire while also impressing Brimstone, his boss, in the process, he visibly panics at the thought of fighting you and will beg for his life when he's defeated.
* KlingonPromotion: It remains to be seen if this is how he earned the position, but pretty early on ''you'' can pull this on him. All you really have to do is defeat him, though Rytlock expressly tells you it's up to you if you want to kill him or spare him.
* NeverMyFault: Tries to blame the deaths of most of your warband on you and your "showboating", rather than his own poor leadership skills.
* ScapeGoat: Tries to turn you into one.
