Based on Cyrill's own thoughts and actions, it's ambiguous in both directions, though it's very heavily implied that she is just in love with Flum and would never have even entertained Jean's attempts at courting her, considering just how much Cyrill emotionally falls apart when she believes she drove Flum away from the party.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jean01.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:Why does Cyrill care so much about that trash! She should be attracted to ME! MMMMMMMEEEEEEE!!!!]]
The first member of the Hero party introduced to the audience.
----
* AristocratsAreEvil: He's a noble and is a sociopathic asshat who sees himself as the "always right" best man alive, starting the story dragging a kicking and screaming Flum to sell her into slavery.
* BadassBookworm: For all his faults, he did earn his position by dedicating himself to studying and practicing magic. It probably helps that he doesn't care about other people and wouldn't be very inclined to "waste time" hanging out with someone.
* BerserkButton: While anything not going his way, in the slightest, drives him into an explosive rage, he's especially quick to blow his stack at the mere thought of Flum's existence.
* CameBackWrong: Well, came back different. [[spoiler: At the epilogue, Flum learns that Jean was cloned into a doppelganger that actually has empathy for others, in exchange for losing a bit of his vaulted "genius" because the same self-loving pride that drove him to succeed is what gave him his narcissistic superiority complex.]]
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Because Flum had a worthless Affinity and was thus useless trash, it was only natural to get rid of her, and surely everyone would agree with that sentiment, and they should perform better without her holding the Hero's party back, and best of all, no one can stand between Jean and Cyrill. That was how the scenario played out in his head. In reality, getting rid of Flum was an impulsive decision, and it was quickly shown that without Flum functioning as TheHeart of the party, some party members begin to bicker in the midst of a battle, others eventually leave the party, and Cyrill breaks down under the pressure of [[TheChosenOne the chosen]] [[TheHero hero]] without her LivingEmotionalCrutch to lend moral support. This really bites him in the ass when Cyrill learns the AwfulTruth and her mental state worsens as a result of believing it was her fault that Jean sold Flum into slavery.
* EnemyMine: [[spoiler: Volume 7 ends with Flum, Jean, Neigass, and the ghost of Ritus, the former demon lord, working together to try and stop Origin, with both Flum and Ritus wanting to straight up murder Jean the moment Origin's threat is over, only keeping him alive because they need all the help they can get to deal with Origin and his top lieutenants.]]
* EntitledToHaveYou: To Cyrill. Since he is the most brilliant sage around, and she is the strongest heroine around, logically, they must get together to produce the best offspring possible. The mere idea Cyrill isn't thinking the exact same thing pisses him off.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: He can't understand why Cyrill is depressed at Flum [[ReleasedToElsewhere going back to her home town.]] He presumed the instant Flum was gone from the party, Cyrill would happily jump into his arms.
* EvilVirtues: Diligence. He is indeed studious and hard-working, earning the sage title honestly, but his accomplishments have gone to his head, deluding him into thinking he's infallible.
* EvilVersusEvil: Jean vs. Origin.
* FeelingOppressedByTheirExistence: As he's beating up on Flum, just before selling her into slavery, he rants that simply breathing the same air that she does makes him physically ill.
* FourEyesZeroSoul: He wears glasses and is a sociopath who only thinks of his own well-being.
* GreenEyedMonster: Flum becoming a close friend to Cyrill is one of the many reasons he hated her.
* HairTriggerTemper: He's disgustingly easy to piss off.
* HardWorkFallacy: He is so conceited that he honestly believes he's the hardest working man alive, and that the only reason Flum started her "hero" career with all her stats at 0 was because she was being lazy. When Linus punches him in the face, telling him the truth, that he's a wealthy, entitled asshat who has had other people cleaning up his messes for him, otherwise his douche-baggery would have got him killed long ago, he has the gall to get angry and insist he's never relied on anyone, for anything, even though he can barely make a cup of tea for himself.
* HateSink: There is nothing redeemable about this man. He is a violent, temperamental, and self-centered sociopath, who sold Flum off to slavery in an attempt to get rid of someone he simply perceived to be an eyesore, and she getting in the way of his plan to get together with Cyrill, for the sole purpose of producing a powerful heir, as he thinks he and Cyrill are compatible based soly on their status and skills alone. Caring for no one but himself, Jean will do anything, however immoral, to get what he wants.
* HeelRealization: When Cyrill overhears him shouting and bragging about how selling Flum into slavery is the "righteous" thing to do, she responds by shrieking "It's all my fault Flum is a slave! I'm a horrible person!" as she runs away. Linus can only shrug his shoulders and sigh as he realizes any further words are pointless, and Jean goes "can it be, I've done something wrong?" then locking himself in his study, refusing to come out.
* IgnoredEpiphany: A few days after the little tiff that caused the party to collapse, where even he went "did I do something wrong?", he goes right back to thinking dragging Flum out of the party and into slavery was the "righteous" thing to do and is completely unapologetic, even though he does provide Linus tools to help deal with all the current Origin craziness going on, then goes and dives back into his research.
* InsufferableGenius: He is as good at magical research he believes himself to be. [[spoiler: He even managed to make fake Origin cores.]] In exchange, he is so smug, self-important, egotistical, and arrogant that he instinctively alienates just about anyone who has to deal with him and completely deludes himself into believing that he's actually charming.
* ItsAllAboutMe: As far as he is concerned, everybody he meets is an accessory of his tale. Flum has no combat abilities? She is holding Jean back! Flum has befriended Cyrill? She is getting in the way of Jean's inevitable relationship with Cyrill! Eterna and Gadhio aren't satisfied with the current state of the party and decided to leave? They should have been satisfied with journeying together with the brilliant Jean and sharing the glory with him!
* {{Jerkass}}: And that's when he is trying to be sociable. At his worst he is such an uncaring monster that this label isn't enough to properly describe him.
* KickTheDog: Selling Flum into slavery is already bad enough, but he also uses hot iron to sear the SlaveBrand in her face. The law only requires slaves to be marked in a visible place, there is no need for the mark to be branded on their skin. Jean even acknowledges how unnecessary it is, right before doing it anyway just to make things even more painful for Flum.
* LackOfEmpathy: He is completely unable to grasp the feelings of others or how his actions affect them.
* {{Narcissist}}: He is completely in love with himself and his self-proclaimed "genius," thinking that he can do no wrong because his idea of righteousness is the world's idea of righteousness, and he doesn't understand why this pisses people off.
* NeverMyFault: Whenever things go wrong, it can't be something he's done. The blame must lie elsewhere.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Had he not sold Flum into slavery, she wouldn't have met Milkit and started her own genuinely heroic journey. Flum believes that if she remained in the Hero's Party, she never would have discovered the truth of the Church's corruption, and she would have been an UnwittingPawn to Origin's horrific agenda.
** After he accepted, and used, the Origin core Maria gave him, he had the demon generals cornered, desperate for some kind of aid to find a way to keep the "hero" party from advancing any further towards Origin's seal, without killing them, as the death of the Heroes would just feed into Church propaganda and ignite a third demon-human war. Bragging to Linus that selling Flum into slavery was something that should be celebrated, not punished, when he was expecting Cyrill to come along, causes the party to collapse completely, solving that particular problem nicely.
* NominalHero: The ''only'' thing that makes him even remotely "heroic" is that his insufferable smugness has him struggle diligently to overcome whatever primary antagonist he's sent up against, whether that's the Demons or Origin. In every other respect he's the loathsome "trash" that needs to be disposed of but refuses to let himself see it.
* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler: In volume 7, he sides with Maria and Dhiza, disfiguring Cyrill with an Origin core, to break open the seal to Origin to try and kill the MadGod, resulting in so many casualties that nobody can count them all, just so he can put his name in the history books as the "great sage Jean who saved the world" and because he believed that Cyrill spurning him means she deserves to be disfigured.]]
* ObliviouslyEvil: He is so self-aggrandizing that he honestly can't understand how his heinous actions breed grudges against him.
--> '''Jean''': "I don't recall doing anything that deserves a grudge."
--> '''Flum''': "And that is why you are hated!"
* PsychologicalProjection: Since he's a complete sociopath who is only concerned about his own agency, he presumes Cyrill thinks similarly and would see him as the best for producing children, purely for the sake of pedigree. The fact that Cyrill is driven into depression out of guilt for Flum leaving the party drives him nuts.
* ReleasedToElsewhere: After selling Flum into slavery, he comes back to the party and lies, saying that she left for her home town of her own volition. This sets up a terrible precedent that causes the party to splinter once Cyrill falls into a depression.
* RightForTheWrongReasons: He forbid healing magic being used on Flum, because he's an asshat and didn't want "to waste resources." Nobody knew it at the time, but using healing magic would have harmed Flum, thanks to her Reversal affinity.
* SmugSnake: He thinks he's the best mage ever, and is so arrogant he thinks he knows better than Origin, a god. Even though the rest of the party had misgivings about the oracle that states Flum must be a member of the party to deal with the Demon Lord, they didn't dare voice those concerns too loudly, for fear of the consequences. He, on the other hand, openly spits on said oracle by dragging Flum off, selling her to slavery, and then lying by stating that he convinced her to leave the party willingly. To say things didn't work out the way he thought they would is a massive understatement.
* TheSociopath: He ticks off the entire checklist. He's obsessed with himself and his own advancement, explodes with rage when things don't go his way, or he's called out on a mistake, and can only see others as tools for his agency or as trash that he must dispose of.
* SomeoneElsesProblem: The entirety of Arc 5 involved a major battle in the royal capital, right outside his study's window. At best, he found it a distraction and a nuisance and didn't give a flip about any of it, not even the PeopleFarms.
* SpannerInTheWorks: To Origin. By selling Flum to slavery and thus, ruining the unity of the party, he put an end to Origin's plan to bring the Reversal affinity that can destroy him and his creations to his side. Instead the chain of events Jean unleashed made Flum one of Origin's greatest enemies.
* SparedButNotForgiven: [[spoiler: Flum never gets the chance to beat him to death for his crimes spurred by his narcissism, and his clone is a completely different person.]]
* SpitefulSuicide: [[spoiler: Knowing that either Origin or Flum would ultimately kill him for what he's done, even though he truly believes he's done nothing wrong, he destroys himself to weaken Cyrill and strengthen Flum enough for Flum to beat her.]]
* StartXToStopX: [[spoiler: In Volume 7, he aids Maria and Dhiza to unseal Origin so he'd have a chance to KillTheGod. As a result, thousands of people died, the royal capital is destroyed, [Chimera] roam the land unopposed, and a significant portion of the Hero party is dead, captured, or converted, with him and Flum on the run. TO make matters worse, there's now a two-week countdown before Origin is at 100% power and destroys all life on the planet. He, of course, shifts the blame to Flum for "ruining his perfect plan."]]
* SuperpowerLottery: His "nature" affinity allows him to use all four classical elements: water, fire, air and earth. Most people in this setting can only use one.
* SurroundedByIdiots: Jean considers anyone who won't agree with everything he says or is unable to follow his instructions to be an imbecile. Unfortunately for him (but fortunately for the rest of the world), that includes all other members of the party.
* TookALevelInJerkass: As hard as it is to fathom, this guy gets worse every time he appears. By the end of Volume 7, it's hard to tell who is worse between him and Origin. Origin, at least, has complete and total insanity as an excuse.
* TheUnapologetic: [[spoiler: Since he believes that he never did anything wrong, then he believes he has no reason to apolgize, so he doesn't, spending his last words once again insisting that it was right of him to sell Flum into slavery to die.]]
* UngratefulBastard: While Flum might not have been useful in battles, she was able to cook the food that allowed him to not have to deal with smells he disliked, and she prepared his tea in a way that was acceptable to him. He still sold her off to slavery despite her attempts to be useful off the field. He is also fine with insulting other people who try to help him as well.
* UnwittingPawn: Every member of the party is already one to Origin, but he gets a double dose when Maria approaches him with an Origin core saying "you want power?". He happily takes it without any investigation.
* VillainsNeverLie: Subverted. When he states that all members of the party agreed to sell Flum into slavery, Flum believes him, but it's revealed (to the reader) that was a lie not long after.
* VirginShaming: Combined with ArsonMurderAndJaywalking. When she finds out that Jean sold Flum to slavery, Eterna lets out a scathing list of insults directed at him, and finishes by calling him a virgin. Linus does the same thing later during his TheReasonYouSuckSpeech.
* WantsAPrizeForBasicDecency: As he's selling Flum into slavery, he boasts that he should be praised for his "benevolence" that he didn't dispose of her much, much earlier.
* WeHaveReserves: [[spoiler: The deaths of every man, woman, and child in the royal capital, and a rising deathtoll in the nearby villages as [Chimera] rampage? Acceptable losses on the path to the death of Origin.]]

[[caption-width-right:215:I'm such a failure, Flum. ItsAllMyFault that you left us!]]
TheHero.
----
* AccompliceByInaction: She manages to catch Jean brutalizing Flum and then walks away, doing nothing to rebuke him. With Flum no longer in the party, the guilt crushes her and sends her into a depression.
* AmbiguouslyBi: Based on the narration of the Light Novel, Jean seemed to believe that Cyrill was choosing Flum over him.
* DesignatedHero: In universe. As part of Origin's oracle, she's chosen as the hero and placed at the lead of the party.
* EnemyMine: [[spoiler:When she realizes what Maria tried to do to her by feeding her an Origin core, the two women actually come to blows. It's only because they join forces to aid Flum that the battle comes to a close.]]
* ExtremeMeleeRevenge: In Arc 6, she retaliates to Satuki's plot by beating up on Satuki's knights then hunts down Echidna and beats the ever loving shit out of the MadScientist.
* FailureHero: A deconstruction, as doing a poor job as a hero sends her into a spiral of self-depreciation. Her job should have been to maintain a sense of unity in the party. However, she does nothing to discourage Jean from abusing Flum which then leads to Jean selling Flum into slavery, and Flum believes Cryill approved of it based on her attitude to Flum. After Flum's disappearance, she becomes inept in combat to the point the Demon Chief finds battles against the heroes boring. Her inability to do anything to keep up morale also results in Eterna and Gadhio leaving.
* GutFeeling: When Maria hands her an Origin Core, she instinctively realizes it's a bad thing, but accepts the core and puts it in her bag as she also realizes Maria's less than sane and "being rude" by refusing would end badly.
* GuiltComplex: She develops this following Jean selling Flum into slavery and fabricating the cover story she left voluntarily, which led to her thinking that she was to blame for Flum "leaving", despite it being Jean's fault entirely.
* HeroicBSOD: Ever since Flum's sudden departure, she's been in a listless depression due to the pressures of being TheHero weighing heavily on her, in addition to the [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone guilty]] [[ItsAllMyFault feelings]] of not helping her when she got in trouble with Jean. With Flum's positive attitude and influence gone, she loses what motivation she had to fight, and she cannot use her power to vanquish the demons.
* ItsAllMyFault: She has a breakdown blaming herself for Flum "leaving the party." In this state, she fails to notice Jean's completely unreliable self-serving narrative. When she discovers the truth, her self-loathing reaches its peak.
* ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne: For once, the expectations everyone has on her are a huge weight on her shoulders. For another, it's the reason Jean decided to make Cyrill his wife, which in turn causes him to take actions to ensure that happens, kickstarting the plot and slowly destroying Cyrill's mind.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: How she saw Flum. The moment Flum "left for her hometown," she completely shut down and fell apart from the crushing burden of being TheHero, in addition to the guilt of doing nothing when she saw Flum getting beat around by Jean, who usually hides his abuse.
* MasterOfAll: The stats of the other members of her party have higher peaks and lower valleys compared to hers, which are great all around. The other may surpass her in a single area, but she is only slightly behind them, and surpasses them in every area they don't excel in.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: She believes that her inaction and cold attitude toward her is what led to Flum "leaving the party". Without Flum, her feelings of guilt and the stress of being the hero get to her badly. Things get worse when she later learns of Jean selling Flum into slavery, as she now has come to believe that her inaction was responsible for Flum's horrible situation.
* ThePerilsOfBeingTheBest: As the hero, she's swarmed by people wherever she goes, has to suffer the burdens of leading the hero party, and has nobody to confide in when she's feeling down. Doubly so once Flum is no longer available.
* ReforgedIntoAMinion: [[spoiler: Jean and Maria force-feed her an Origin core, taking control of her body, warping her into a monster, and then setting her loose to break Origin's seal.]]
* SuperpowerLottery: She has a unique "Hero" affinity that grants her a lot of exclusive spells.
* TookALevelInJerkass: At the beginning of the story, it is established she and Flum got along well, but she became cold to her prior to the events of the story.
* UngratefulBitch: She outright admits she was one to Flum during the Intermission chapter of Light Novel Volume 1.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Flum and her got along well when their journey began, but she ultimately treated Flum horribly prior to Jean deciding to sell Flum into slavery.
* WouldNotHurtAChild: She can't bring herself to harm children. This causes her to freeze like a deer in headlights when she meets Mute and the latter soon after goes on a murderous rampage.

The Saintess.
----
* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: [[spoiler:The Origin core she received from Echidna wasn't tuned for humans, it was tuned for monsters, so it isn't long after she's used it that her body starts to warp and mutate, painfully.]]
* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: [[spoiler: She kills Satuki by pushing him over a balcony to his death, making it look like an accident.]]
* BigEater: According to the bonus story of the first volume of the manga, Maria has the biggest appetite of the party. She claims it's because light magic consumes a lot of energy, as does fighting with a mace.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: She acts like the devoted GoodShepherd of the church. She's really an OmnicidalManiac who is exploiting the party to unseal Origin and doom everybody, human and demon alike.
* BrokenPedestal: [[spoiler: When the church "rescued" her at eight from her DoomedHometown, she devoted all her efforts into being a faithful saintess, then she learned that the demons who attacked her town were acting on church orders with the knights using the attack as an excuse to "recruit" her. This made her completely misanthropic, seeing all humans equally culpable for the church's nastiness and all demons culpable for the acts of those who happily went along.]]
* CombatMedic: She's both a combatant and the party healer.
* CoolBigSis: Sara, who has a backstory similar to Maria, saw her as a surrogate big sister and a role model in the Church. But this is only because she is blissfully unaware of Maria's [[BitchInSheepsClothing true nature]].
* EvenEvilCanBeLoved: Linus knows all about Maria, even her conspiracies and misanthropy, yet loves her anyway.
* FreudianExcuse: As an 8-year-old child, she has memories of watching her home town burned to the ground, her friends and relatives all horribly murdered, and what looked like demons dancing in joy at the act.
* HatesEveryoneEqually: She hates both demons and humans on a genocidal level, but her rage is more easily visible when encountering the demons.
* HearingVoices: Once powered-up by an Origin core, she starts hearing the voices of Origin, which only say, [[MadnessMantra "Kill Them! Kill Them! Kill Them! Kill Them! Kill Them! Kill Them!"]]
* LightIsNotGood: She wields healing and light magic, and she's entirely complicit with the corrupt upper echelons of the Church of Origin.
* MisanthropeSupreme: She finds humans, as a whole, utterly disgusting, deserving of nothing but death.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler: To free her from Origin's control, Linus kills her with a suicide attack.]]
* RedemptionRejection: [[spoiler: She tells Satuki that giving up on Origin's goals and spending the rest of her life being doted on by Linus was a good dream, but Satuki's own schemes with a wrongly attuned Origin core that literally twisted her into a monster, irreversibly, make that impossible, so she must complete Origin's mission, before shoving him over a balcony railing to his death.]]
* RevengeBeforeReason: She wants to exterminate all demons in retaliation for the destruction of her home town and murder of her friends and family. Even after she learns who the real guilty parties are.
* TeensAreMonsters: She is only 17 years old, and is already living a life guided exclusively by her genocidal hatred.
* TrappedInVillainy: [[spoiler: Thanks to Echidna's "prank", her internal organs all get twisted and placed into the wrong place, which she demonstrates for Linus by opening her skin like a leather jacket. If she removes the core, she dies, if she goes against Origin's command, he moves her body against her will.]]
* UnwittingPawn: She accepts an Origin core from Echidna and uses it, but it isn't long before this turns on her and she realizes that some members of the Origin church aren't actually keen on following Origin's plans and are just in it for their own human supremacist agenda.

The Hero's party's archer.
----
* ArcherArchetype: Fights with SacredBowAndArrows.
* BlowYouAway: His affinity is wind. He uses it to enhance his arrows with various effects.
* TheFarmerAndTheViper: [[spoiler: He tries to win Maria over one last time in Volume 7. She responds by killing him and dancing on his corpse.]]
* HomingProjectile: He fires arrows that relentlessly home in on their target. The only way to deal with them is to destroy them.
* ItsProbablyNothing: He spots several holes in Jean's cover story and notices that Maria's acting strangely but repeatedly shrugs it off for the sake of party unity, even after Eterna and Gaido leave the party in disgust at Jean's entitled attitude and belligerence.
* MoralityPet: He's the only person Maria's ever genuinely nice to.
* NotTooDeadToSaveTheDay: [[spoiler: After Maria kills him, he gets an Origin core put into him by Jean, of all people. Doped up on Origin powers, he and Maria clash before the mad god takes control of him, resulting in a MutualKill.]]
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: When he learns that Jean sold Flum into slavery, he goes back, punches Jean in the face, calls him out on it, and starts a heated shouting match where he tells Jean exactly why people hate him: his utter inability to recognize the world doesn't exist for him and trying to take all the glory for his feats while dismissing all the people who helped him and covered for his terribe personality as lesser beings.
* SacredBowAndArrows: He doesn't fire off ordinary arrows. He also enchants his shots with magic.

! Hero Party
[[folder: Jean Inteige]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jean01.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:Why does Cyrill care so much about that trash! She should be attracted to ME! MMMMMMMEEEEEEE!!!!]]
The first member of the Hero party introduced to the audience.
----
* AristocratsAreEvil: He's a noble and is a sociopathic asshat who sees himself as the "always right" best man alive, starting the story dragging a kicking and screaming Flum to sell her into slavery.
* BadassBookworm: For all his faults, he did earn his position by dedicating himself to studying and practicing magic. It probably helps that he doesn't care about other people and wouldn't be very inclined to "waste time" hanging out with someone.
* BerserkButton: While anything not going his way, in the slightest, drives him into an explosive rage, he's especially quick to blow his stack at the mere thought of Flum's existence.
* CameBackWrong: Well, came back different. [[spoiler: At the epilogue, Flum learns that Jean was cloned into a doppelganger that actually has empathy for others, in exchange for losing a bit of his vaulted "genius" because the same self-loving pride that drove him to succeed is what gave him his narcissistic superiority complex.]]
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Because Flum had a worthless Affinity and was thus useless trash, it was only natural to get rid of her, and surely everyone would agree with that sentiment, and they should perform better without her holding the Hero's party back, and best of all, no one can stand between Jean and Cyrill. That was how the scenario played out in his head. In reality, getting rid of Flum was an impulsive decision, and it was quickly shown that without Flum functioning as TheHeart of the party, some party members begin to bicker in the midst of a battle, others eventually leave the party, and Cyrill breaks down under the pressure of [[TheChosenOne the chosen]] [[TheHero hero]] without her LivingEmotionalCrutch to lend moral support. This really bites him in the ass when Cyrill learns the AwfulTruth and her mental state worsens as a result of believing it was her fault that Jean sold Flum into slavery.
* EnemyMine: [[spoiler: Volume 7 ends with Flum, Jean, Neigass, and the ghost of Ritus, the former demon lord, working together to try and stop Origin, with both Flum and Ritus wanting to straight up murder Jean the moment Origin's threat is over, only keeping him alive because they need all the help they can get to deal with Origin and his top lieutenants.]]
* EntitledToHaveYou: To Cyrill. Since he is the most brilliant sage around, and she is the strongest heroine around, logically, they must get together to produce the best offspring possible. The mere idea Cyrill isn't thinking the exact same thing pisses him off.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: He can't understand why Cyrill is depressed at Flum [[ReleasedToElsewhere going back to her home town.]] He presumed the instant Flum was gone from the party, Cyrill would happily jump into his arms.
* EvilVirtues: Diligence. He is indeed studious and hard-working, earning the sage title honestly, but his accomplishments have gone to his head, deluding him into thinking he's infallible.
* EvilVersusEvil: Jean vs. Origin.
* FeelingOppressedByTheirExistence: As he's beating up on Flum, just before selling her into slavery, he rants that simply breathing the same air that she does makes him physically ill.
* FourEyesZeroSoul: He wears glasses and is a sociopath who only thinks of his own well-being.
* GreenEyedMonster: Flum becoming a close friend to Cyrill is one of the many reasons he hated her.
* HairTriggerTemper: He's disgustingly easy to piss off.
* HardWorkFallacy: He is so conceited that he honestly believes he's the hardest working man alive, and that the only reason Flum started her "hero" career with all her stats at 0 was because she was being lazy. When Linus punches him in the face, telling him the truth, that he's a wealthy, entitled asshat who has had other people cleaning up his messes for him, otherwise his douche-baggery would have got him killed long ago, he has the gall to get angry and insist he's never relied on anyone, for anything, even though he can barely make a cup of tea for himself.
* HateSink: There is nothing redeemable about this man. He is a violent, temperamental, and self-centered sociopath, who sold Flum off to slavery in an attempt to get rid of someone he simply perceived to be an eyesore, and she getting in the way of his plan to get together with Cyrill, for the sole purpose of producing a powerful heir, as he thinks he and Cyrill are compatible based soly on their status and skills alone. Caring for no one but himself, Jean will do anything, however immoral, to get what he wants.
* HeelRealization: When Cyrill overhears him shouting and bragging about how selling Flum into slavery is the "righteous" thing to do, she responds by shrieking "It's all my fault Flum is a slave! I'm a horrible person!" as she runs away. Linus can only shrug his shoulders and sigh as he realizes any further words are pointless, and Jean goes "can it be, I've done something wrong?" then locking himself in his study, refusing to come out.
* IgnoredEpiphany: A few days after the little tiff that caused the party to collapse, where even he went "did I do something wrong?", he goes right back to thinking dragging Flum out of the party and into slavery was the "righteous" thing to do and is completely unapologetic, even though he does provide Linus tools to help deal with all the current Origin craziness going on, then goes and dives back into his research.
* InsufferableGenius: He is as good at magical research he believes himself to be. [[spoiler: He even managed to make fake Origin cores.]] In exchange, he is so smug, self-important, egotistical, and arrogant that he instinctively alienates just about anyone who has to deal with him and completely deludes himself into believing that he's actually charming.
* ItsAllAboutMe: As far as he is concerned, everybody he meets is an accessory of his tale. Flum has no combat abilities? She is holding Jean back! Flum has befriended Cyrill? She is getting in the way of Jean's inevitable relationship with Cyrill! Eterna and Gadhio aren't satisfied with the current state of the party and decided to leave? They should have been satisfied with journeying together with the brilliant Jean and sharing the glory with him!
* {{Jerkass}}: And that's when he is trying to be sociable. At his worst he is such an uncaring monster that this label isn't enough to properly describe him.
* KickTheDog: Selling Flum into slavery is already bad enough, but he also uses hot iron to sear the SlaveBrand in her face. The law only requires slaves to be marked in a visible place, there is no need for the mark to be branded on their skin. Jean even acknowledges how unnecessary it is, right before doing it anyway just to make things even more painful for Flum.
* LackOfEmpathy: He is completely unable to grasp the feelings of others or how his actions affect them.
* {{Narcissist}}: He is completely in love with himself and his self-proclaimed "genius," thinking that he can do no wrong because his idea of righteousness is the world's idea of righteousness, and he doesn't understand why this pisses people off.
* NeverMyFault: Whenever things go wrong, it can't be something he's done. The blame must lie elsewhere.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Had he not sold Flum into slavery, she wouldn't have met Milkit and started her own genuinely heroic journey. Flum believes that if she remained in the Hero's Party, she never would have discovered the truth of the Church's corruption, and she would have been an UnwittingPawn to Origin's horrific agenda.
** After he accepted, and used, the Origin core Maria gave him, he had the demon generals cornered, desperate for some kind of aid to find a way to keep the "hero" party from advancing any further towards Origin's seal, without killing them, as the death of the Heroes would just feed into Church propaganda and ignite a third demon-human war. Bragging to Linus that selling Flum into slavery was something that should be celebrated, not punished, when he was expecting Cyrill to come along, causes the party to collapse completely, solving that particular problem nicely.
* NominalHero: The ''only'' thing that makes him even remotely "heroic" is that his insufferable smugness has him struggle diligently to overcome whatever primary antagonist he's sent up against, whether that's the Demons or Origin. In every other respect he's the loathsome "trash" that needs to be disposed of but refuses to let himself see it.
* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler: In volume 7, he sides with Maria and Dhiza, disfiguring Cyrill with an Origin core, to break open the seal to Origin to try and kill the MadGod, resulting in so many casualties that nobody can count them all, just so he can put his name in the history books as the "great sage Jean who saved the world" and because he believed that Cyrill spurning him means she deserves to be disfigured.]]
* ObliviouslyEvil: He is so self-aggrandizing that he honestly can't understand how his heinous actions breed grudges against him.
--> '''Jean''': "I don't recall doing anything that deserves a grudge."
--> '''Flum''': "And that is why you are hated!"
* PsychologicalProjection: Since he's a complete sociopath who is only concerned about his own agency, he presumes Cyrill thinks similarly and would see him as the best for producing children, purely for the sake of pedigree. The fact that Cyrill is driven into depression out of guilt for Flum leaving the party drives him nuts.
* ReleasedToElsewhere: After selling Flum into slavery, he comes back to the party and lies, saying that she left for her home town of her own volition. This sets up a terrible precedent that causes the party to splinter once Cyrill falls into a depression.
* RightForTheWrongReasons: He forbid healing magic being used on Flum, because he's an asshat and didn't want "to waste resources." Nobody knew it at the time, but using healing magic would have harmed Flum, thanks to her Reversal affinity.
* SmugSnake: He thinks he's the best mage ever, and is so arrogant he thinks he knows better than Origin, a god. Even though the rest of the party had misgivings about the oracle that states Flum must be a member of the party to deal with the Demon Lord, they didn't dare voice those concerns too loudly, for fear of the consequences. He, on the other hand, openly spits on said oracle by dragging Flum off, selling her to slavery, and then lying by stating that he convinced her to leave the party willingly. To say things didn't work out the way he thought they would is a massive understatement.
* TheSociopath: He ticks off the entire checklist. He's obsessed with himself and his own advancement, explodes with rage when things don't go his way, or he's called out on a mistake, and can only see others as tools for his agency or as trash that he must dispose of.
* SomeoneElsesProblem: The entirety of Arc 5 involved a major battle in the royal capital, right outside his study's window. At best, he found it a distraction and a nuisance and didn't give a flip about any of it, not even the PeopleFarms.
* SpannerInTheWorks: To Origin. By selling Flum to slavery and thus, ruining the unity of the party, he put an end to Origin's plan to bring the Reversal affinity that can destroy him and his creations to his side. Instead the chain of events Jean unleashed made Flum one of Origin's greatest enemies.
* SparedButNotForgiven: [[spoiler: Flum never gets the chance to beat him to death for his crimes spurred by his narcissism, and his clone is a completely different person.]]
* SpitefulSuicide: [[spoiler: Knowing that either Origin or Flum would ultimately kill him for what he's done, even though he truly believes he's done nothing wrong, he destroys himself to weaken Cyrill and strengthen Flum enough for Flum to beat her.]]
* StartXToStopX: [[spoiler: In Volume 7, he aids Maria and Dhiza to unseal Origin so he'd have a chance to KillTheGod. As a result, thousands of people died, the royal capital is destroyed, [Chimera] roam the land unopposed, and a significant portion of the Hero party is dead, captured, or converted, with him and Flum on the run. TO make matters worse, there's now a two-week countdown before Origin is at 100% power and destroys all life on the planet. He, of course, shifts the blame to Flum for "ruining his perfect plan."]]
* SuperpowerLottery: His "nature" affinity allows him to use all four classical elements: water, fire, air and earth. Most people in this setting can only use one.
* SurroundedByIdiots: Jean considers anyone who won't agree with everything he says or is unable to follow his instructions to be an imbecile. Unfortunately for him (but fortunately for the rest of the world), that includes all other members of the party.
* TookALevelInJerkass: As hard as it is to fathom, this guy gets worse every time he appears. By the end of Volume 7, it's hard to tell who is worse between him and Origin. Origin, at least, has complete and total insanity as an excuse.
* TheUnapologetic: [[spoiler: Since he believes that he never did anything wrong, then he believes he has no reason to apolgize, so he doesn't, spending his last words once again insisting that it was right of him to sell Flum into slavery to die.]]
* UngratefulBastard: While Flum might not have been useful in battles, she was able to cook the food that allowed him to not have to deal with smells he disliked, and she prepared his tea in a way that was acceptable to him. He still sold her off to slavery despite her attempts to be useful off the field. He is also fine with insulting other people who try to help him as well.
* UnwittingPawn: Every member of the party is already one to Origin, but he gets a double dose when Maria approaches him with an Origin core saying "you want power?". He happily takes it without any investigation.
* VillainsNeverLie: Subverted. When he states that all members of the party agreed to sell Flum into slavery, Flum believes him, but it's revealed (to the reader) that was a lie not long after.
* VirginShaming: Combined with ArsonMurderAndJaywalking. When she finds out that Jean sold Flum to slavery, Eterna lets out a scathing list of insults directed at him, and finishes by calling him a virgin. Linus does the same thing later during his TheReasonYouSuckSpeech.
* WantsAPrizeForBasicDecency: As he's selling Flum into slavery, he boasts that he should be praised for his "benevolence" that he didn't dispose of her much, much earlier.
* WeHaveReserves: [[spoiler: The deaths of every man, woman, and child in the royal capital, and a rising deathtoll in the nearby villages as [Chimera] rampage? Acceptable losses on the path to the death of Origin.]]

TheHero.
----
* AccompliceByInaction: She manages to catch Jean brutalizing Flum and then walks away, doing nothing to rebuke him. With Flum no longer in the party, the guilt crushes her and sends her into a depression.
* AmbiguouslyBi: Based on the narration of the Light Novel, Jean seemed to believe that Cyrill was choosing Flum over him.
* DesignatedHero: In universe. As part of Origin's oracle, she's chosen as the hero and placed at the lead of the party.
* EnemyMine: [[spoiler:When she realizes what Maria tried to do to her by feeding her an Origin core, the two women actually come to blows. It's only because they join forces to aid Flum that the battle comes to a close.]]
* ExtremeMeleeRevenge: In Arc 6, she retaliates to Satuki's plot by beating up on Satuki's knights then hunts down Echidna and beats the ever loving shit out of the MadScientist.
* FailureHero: A deconstruction, as doing a poor job as a hero sends her into a spiral of self-depreciation. Her job should have been to maintain a sense of unity in the party. However, she does nothing to discourage Jean from abusing Flum which then leads to Jean selling Flum into slavery, and Flum believes Cryill approved of it based on her attitude to Flum. After Flum's disappearance, she becomes inept in combat to the point the Demon Chief finds battles against the heroes boring. Her inability to do anything to keep up morale also results in Eterna and Gadhio leaving.
* GutFeeling: When Maria hands her an Origin Core, she instinctively realizes it's a bad thing, but accepts the core and puts it in her bag as she also realizes Maria's less than sane and "being rude" by refusing would end badly.
* GuiltComplex: She develops this following Jean selling Flum into slavery and fabricating the cover story she left voluntarily, which led to her thinking that she was to blame for Flum "leaving", despite it being Jean's fault entirely.
* HeroicBSOD: Ever since Flum's sudden departure, she's been in a listless depression due to the pressures of being TheHero weighing heavily on her, in addition to the [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone guilty]] [[ItsAllMyFault feelings]] of not helping her when she got in trouble with Jean. With Flum's positive attitude and influence gone, she loses what motivation she had to fight, and she cannot use her power to vanquish the demons.
* ItsAllMyFault: She has a breakdown blaming herself for Flum "leaving the party." In this state, she fails to notice Jean's completely unreliable self-serving narrative. When she discovers the truth, her self-loathing reaches its peak.
* ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne: For once, the expectations everyone has on her are a huge weight on her shoulders. For another, it's the reason Jean decided to make Cyrill his wife, which in turn causes him to take actions to ensure that happens, kickstarting the plot and slowly destroying Cyrill's mind.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: How she saw Flum. The moment Flum "left for her hometown," she completely shut down and fell apart from the crushing burden of being TheHero, in addition to the guilt of doing nothing when she saw Flum getting beat around by Jean, who usually hides his abuse.
* MasterOfAll: The stats of the other members of her party have higher peaks and lower valleys compared to hers, which are great all around. The other may surpass her in a single area, but she is only slightly behind them, and surpasses them in every area they don't excel in.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: She believes that her inaction and cold attitude toward her is what led to Flum "leaving the party". Without Flum, her feelings of guilt and the stress of being the hero get to her badly. Things get worse when she later learns of Jean selling Flum into slavery, as she now has come to believe that her inaction was responsible for Flum's horrible situation.
* ThePerilsOfBeingTheBest: As the hero, she's swarmed by people wherever she goes, has to suffer the burdens of leading the hero party, and has nobody to confide in when she's feeling down. Doubly so once Flum is no longer available.
* ReforgedIntoAMinion: [[spoiler: Jean and Maria force-feed her an Origin core, taking control of her body, warping her into a monster, and then setting her loose to break Origin's seal.]]
* SuperpowerLottery: She has a unique "Hero" affinity that grants her a lot of exclusive spells.
* TookALevelInJerkass: At the beginning of the story, it is established she and Flum got along well, but she became cold to her prior to the events of the story.
* UngratefulBitch: She outright admits she was one to Flum during the Intermission chapter of Light Novel Volume 1.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Flum and her got along well when their journey began, but she ultimately treated Flum horribly prior to Jean deciding to sell Flum into slavery.

* ItsProbablyNothing: He spots several holes in Jean's cover story and notices that Maria's acting strangely but repeatedly shrugs it off for the sake of party unity, even after Eterna and Gaido leave the party in disgust at Jean's entitled attitude and belligerence.
* MoralityPet: He's the only person Maria's ever genuinely nice to.
* NotTooDeadToSaveTheDay: [[spoiler: After Maria kills him, he gets an Origin core put into him by Jean, of all people. Doped up on Origin powers, he and Maria clash before the mad god takes control of him, resulting in a MutualKill.]]
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: When he learns that Jean sold Flum into slavery, he goes back, punches Jean in the face, calls him out on it, and starts a heated shouting match where he tells Jean exactly why people hate him: his utter inability to recognize the world doesn't exist for him and trying to take all the glory for his feats while dismissing all the people who helped him and covered for his terribe personality as lesser beings.
* SacredBowAndArrows: He doesn't fire off ordinary arrows. He also enchants his shots with magic.
