* OneHandedZweihander: Uses a single hand, his normal one no less, to carry the blade. ''VI'' also implements a small {{Retcon}} by making it so Nightmare and Siegfried's fighting styles remain distinct as they have been since ''III'' (when Nightmare became an EnemyWithout), even though canonically at this time Nightmare used Siegfried's memories as the basis for his own fighting style. As such, Nightmare (Siegfried) in ''VI'' holds Soul Edge with one hand, as Nightmare (Inferno) did in ''III'' and ''IV''.

* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: In the Old Timeline, the Evil Seed within him was nothing more than a bit of lore that could be easily glossed over and had no effect on gameplay. ''VI'' marks its introduction as a proper gameplay element, with it taking over him when the player activates a Soul Charge.
* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: His Soul Charge doesn't just give him extra moves and ScratchDamage like the others, but actually triggers his [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Possessed State]]. This mode increases his overall damage in addition to giving him new moves, and a completely a new Critical Edge (the only character thus far with the distinction of having two different versions of them). That being said, the state [[CastFromHitPoints actively drains his health]], which means that unless you have a high health bar, using a Soul Charge is a ''very risky'' endeavor and one that should only be done as a last resort.
* SimpleStaff: The standard weapon of choice for Kilik.
* SuperMode: He has one like the rest of the cast, but notably different than the normal kind the others use, as it's more powerful and yet more [[CastFromHitPoints dangerous]] to use compared to the standard.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: His Malfested side comes out to play, giving him red eyes; long, untamed hair; red TronLines on his body; and a distorted voice.

* ChekhovsGunman: The Aval Organization is stated to have been founded by the vassals of an ancient king who wielded Soul Calibur and with his dying breath entrusted them with the destruction of Soul Edge. The primary candidate is Algol, who sacrificed himself to create Soul Calibur and entrusted an order of mystics -- of which Zasalamel was a member -- with guarding it and destroying Soul Edge. Given that Grøh draws from Lancelot, as his default weapon is called the Aerondight Replica and one of his quotes -- "Chevalier mal fet!" -- is a reference to T.H. White's ''The Ill-Made Knight'', another candidate is King Arthur, the second known wielder of Soul Calibur as named in ''New Legends of Project Soul''.
* DarkIsNotEvil: He looks sinister, and is undoubtedly something of a cold, uncompromising zealot, but he’s actually part of an organisation that directly opposes anyone connected to the cursed sword Soul Edge.
* DoubleWeapon: His Aval Twinblade weapon, the Aerondight Replica, can best be described as two swords fused at the hilt, though [[BifurcatedWeapon they can be separated]].
* EyePatchOfPower: He wears a sinister looking patch over his left eye, from which emits an eerie glow.
* HeavyMetalUmlaut: He’s Norwegian, and his name features a Norwegian/Danish "slashed o" -- Ø -- though the name itself doesn't make complete sense in either of those languages. The nearest equivalent would be something like "Grøholt", which is a perfectly regular Norwegian name, so he may have simply shortened it, or it could also be a translation error, as the name makes more sense ''without'' the 'h' at the end -- "Grø" is a Norwegian surname, as well as a place-name.
* HunterOfMonsters: Grøh is an agent of the Aval Organization, a [[CreatureHunterOrganization group dedicated to purging the Malfested]], which they call Outsiders.
* IcyBlueEyes: Sports very pale blue/grey eyes combined with a very fair skin-tone.
* MythicalMotifs:
** The Nordic ''[[WorldTree Yggdrasil]]'' -- an immense mythological ash tree that is center to the cosmos and considered very holy -- appears on a large shield in the background of his character artwork.
** He sports an eye patch in a nod to the Norse god Odin, who sacrificed an eye, but gained a more sacred, divine level of wisdom in return.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: His overall style heavily evokes the {{Anime}} aesthetic, even more so than characters from ''V'' which already leaned heavily towards that influence. While no one can deny that other characters have a stylistic design that evoke RuleOfCool with little regard for historical accuracy, they still take influence from the western art style (even the characters that are actually ''from'' Japan) and have some kind of influence related to their culture or upbringing. Grøh on the other hand, with his silvery grey/blue hairstyle, futuristic-esque eyepatch, ImpossiblyCoolClothes that includes a gauntlet on his left arm, flashy DoubleWeapon, and his {{Shonen}}-like SuperMode that turns him [[PowerDyesYourHair red]], seems comparatively out of place among them.
* PowerDyesYourHair: His hair features blue highlights to begin with, but activating certain special moves sees said highlights turn bright red.
* RedBaron: Known as “The Agent in Black”.
* SexyScandinavian: He's a brooding, platinum-haired PrettyBoy sporting a form-fitting outfit and a personality that evokes the classic NordicNoir AntiHero. ''SCVI'' producer Motohiro Okubo states in Grøh's introductory video that he was specifically designed with the [[NationalStereotypes visual and personality stereotypes that Japanese people have of Norwegians]] (and other Nordics) in mind -- cold, pale, brooding and icy.
* TheSocialDarwinist: If there's one thing he openly dislikes, it's weakness.
--> '''Grøh:''' Atone for the sin of weakness.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: It remains to be seen if Namco will correct their error, but the Nordic name "Grø" would ''never'' have an "h" at the end -- no Norwegian or Danish[[note]] the only nations to use the letter[[/note]] words end with an "h" following the slashed o letter. This is therefore likely a phonetic spelling from when his name was translated from Japanese characters, though even this is still wrong -- the name isn't pronounced with an "oh" sound at the end, but rather "ø" is pronounced roughly like the "i" in "sir".
* {{Spoiler}}: His existence was initially mentioned through a leak before being officially teased at the end of the game's very first official trailer.
* StanceSystem: He fights using two distinct styles involving his twin-blades fused together and also separated.
* SuperMode: He appears to be Malfested, as he can coat his weapon in red energy and activate a form where his eyes, scars, and the fringes in his hair turn red.
* TheUnpronounceable: A relatively mild example, but even the in-game announcer stuggles to pronounce the “slashed o” in his name correctly. “Grøh” would approximately rhyme with “fleur” or "sir", and would not be said as “grow”, as per the announcer.

->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/NobuyukiHiyama (Japanese), Creator/KirkThornton (English)

* ObviouslyEvil: His design doesn't exactly scream "good guy", what with the demonic red eyes and the mutated arm.
* OneHandedZweihander: Uses a single hand, his normal one no less, to carry the blade.
* RedBaron: Known as the '''Azure Knight''', as always.
* TinTyrant: A villain clad head to toe in sinister armor, leaving only his [[RedEyesTakeWarning eyes]] visible.

Whilst his actual birthplace is not known, he uses "of Rivia" to denote his adopted home-city, following his knighthood by Queen Meve, and out of an inherent desire to have a homeland -- the books explain he even went so far as to develop a Rivian accent. The flag bears striking resemblance to the real-world flag of the Holy Roman Empire, from where Siegfried and Hilde originate.[[/note]]
Weapon(s) - [[ChoiceOfTwoWeapons Steel and silver longswords]]

-> The protagonist (or co-protagonist) of all the media set in the ''Franchise/TheWitcher''[='=]s world. He is a, if not ''the'' witcher — a mutant created through alchemy and black magic to create an ultimate killing machine, he was in fact such a success compared to the other boys who underwent the Changes that he was subjected to additional processes that bled his hair white and took the pigment from his skin, but the benefits in return were many-fold. Geralt is the epitome of a professional monster-hunter, courteous, meticulous and devoid of emotional hangups. He represents the GuestFighter in the ''Soul'' series' sixth iteration, having been whisked into our dimension by a powerful sorceress. Geralt finds himself in a strange new world, home to the cursed sword ''Soul Edge'', the power of which the sorceress had spoken...

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: His overall style heavily evokes the {{Anime}} aesthetic, even more so than characters from ''V'' which already leaned heavily towards that influence. While no one can deny that other characters have a stylistic design that evoke RuleOfCool with little regard for historical accuracy, they still take influence from the western art style (even the characters that are actually ''from'' Japan) and have some kind of influence related to their culture or upbringing. Grøh on the other hand, with his silvery grey/blue hairstyle, futuristic-esque eyepatch, ImpossiblyCoolClothes that includes a gauntlet on his left arm, flashy DoubleWeapon, and his {{Shonen}}-like SuperMode that turns him [[PowerDyesYourHair red]], seems comparatively out of place among them.

* {{Badbutt}}: Geralt is from a series that's as hard-R as games can get, earning many (well-deserved) comparisons to the likes of ''Series/GameOfThrones''. Here, he's placed in a much lighter T-rated game, and has to be toned down to match. For example, there's no blood from his attacks, his language is considerably more restrained, and presumably he won't go about [[ReallyGetsAround his ways of love]] with the female cast. This is perfectly highlighted with the quote below, where the first word he says probably would've been a little more colorful in his own series.
