History Characters / RomancingSaGa2

* DisproportionateRetribution: After telling them about his motives, the Emperor/Empress tells him they will happily let him be if he doesn't the Empire. He reacts by attacking immediately because he doesn't need their permission to do as he wants.
* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: Most of the Seven Heroes show up in quests that tie back into their plans and you can go in expecting to fight them. Dantarg is the exception, however, pretty much showing up to fight you without much buildup or prior warning.
** There is a pretty good reason for that, though. Unlike the other heroes, [[spoiler:Dantarg isn't really interested in fighting the Empire and instead is on a power trip to absorb monsters to strengthen himself. Where do you meet him? Why, in caves full of monsters!]]

!!Saifreet/Cyfreet

The loyal Bushido warrior of the Yauda area. He is one of the warrior vassals of Lord Ato, who tries to pit the empire and Wagnas against each other, despite Sekishusei's protest.
