History Characters / TacticsOgreWalister

* ArcherArchetype: And the ''best'' archer in the game, ''bar none''. She's generally calm and collected, unless [[BerserkButton someone insinuates about the Balmamusa massacre...]]

* ArcherArchetype: Her default class is archer.

* ThePurge: [[spoiler:In the Law route, much of the people loyal to Duke Ronwey are either slain or forced out of Almorica Castle. It also happens at a later point in the Chaos route with Leonar purposely gathering Ronwey's loyalists at Coritanae so they can die at the hands of Denam's order.]]

A Walister encountered as an enemy boss in the Lawful route. She ambushes Denam alongside Xapan at the Gates of Almorica; in the older versions she does so at Golborza Plain.

* DuelBoss: In the Chaotic route he challenges Denam to a duel at Coritanae, which the player can either accept or decline (the latter ensuring a more traditional fight). [[spoiler:In Lawful this is played with, as Denam is the sole deployable unit but is backed by two to three Guest NPCs who can technically flee if their health is reduced far enough, making the battle a duel by default.]]

* DoomedMoralVictor: On the Chaotic/Neutral branch, she’s shot by Vyce for opposing the Balmamusa massacre (and for [[HalfBreedDiscrimination being part-Galgastani) and dies days later. Her stance is ultimately vindicated when Denam, who she pled to be an exemplar to their people, ends up leading them after Ronway and Leonar die.

* KnightInShiningArmor: In addition to being the most morally-upstanding of the Resistance high command, she’s one of the few who can access a class that previously was exclusive to Myrdin and Gildas, the White Knight.

** In the Lawful route he pushes for a decisive rout of Galgastan in the field, despite Galgastan's numerical superiority. [[spoiler: The attempt results in the humiliation and near-collapse of the Walister; and reveals his lack of strategic acumen, necessitating his removal.]]

* SmugSnake: On the one hand, he's a halfway decent strategist who understands human nature enough to turn a situation to his advantage. On the other, he's not TheChessmaster he thinks he is and believes he has more sway over his subordinates than he really does; when things don't go his way Ronway's not nearly adaptable enough to regain the upper hand. As such he only gets so far before he ends up killed, one way or another.

* DoomedMoralVictory: On the Chaotic/Neutral branch, she’s shot by Vyce for opposing the Balmamusa massacre (and for [[HalfBreedDiscrimination being part-Galgastani) and dies days later. Her stance is ultimately vindicated when Denam, who she pled to be an exemplar to their people, ends up leading them after Ronway and Leonar die.

* MutuallyExclusivePartyMembers: In the original and PSX versions, she only joins on the Chaotic route (and leaves the party in Chapter 3 if Neutral is then chosen). Thus she can't fight alongside [[spoiler:Vyce, Jeunan, Ocionne, Xapan, Oelias or Dievold.]] Subverted in the PSP and ''Reborn'' versions, where she ''can'' join on all routes, although getting her on Lawful requires some effort.

* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: As shown on the Chaotic route, Donnalto viscerally castigates Leonar for his involvement with Balmamusa; on the Lawful route, despite supporting Denam and thus condoning the massacre, his Loyalty does drop 20 points to show he's internally conflicted about the whole matter. This is also explored in his battlefield dialogue with Ravness and Arycelle on the latter route.

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Despite being a loyal and high-ranking member of the Walister Resistance, he's unaware that the Balmamusa massacre was a FalseFlagOperation schemed by Ronwey and Leonar. His Warren Report entry ponders on how he would have reacted if he knew the truth, as he sincerely believes in Ronway's worthiness as a leader.

* SmugSnake: On the one hand, he's a halfway decent strategist who understands human nature enough to turn a situation to his advantage. On the other, he's not TheChessmaster he thinks he is and believes he has more sway over his subordinates than he really does; when things don't go his way Ronway's not nearly adaptable enough to regain the upper hand. As such he only gets so far before he ends up killed, one way or another.[[/folder]]

* KnightInShiningArmor: She's one of the few who can access a class that previously was exclusive to Myrdin and Gildas, the White Knight.

* BrokenPedestal: She has one in Leonar once she learns the truth of Balmamusa; in Chapter 3 of the Chaotic route, their battle dialogue has her disparaging him for it, noting that her brother (one of the victims) had previously saved Leonar's life and ''this'' was how his loyalty was repaid…?Made worse by the fact that [[StarCrossedLovers she and Leonar were lovers]], her dialogue insinuating they were outright ''intimate''. Also applies to Ronway, as in Chaotic she's initially incensed that Denam would assert the Duke was involved prior to learning the truth.

* {{Expy}}: She's ''Tactics Ogre'''s answer to Agrias Oaks of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics'' fame in almost every way.

* GuideDangIt: Recruiting her is particularly hard and almost impossible without following a guide, not to mention it will take you quite a while. First, she is locked behind the Lawful route (meaning you have to take part in the Balmamusa massacre), and she must survive said battle (while she tries to kill you). Then in chapter 2 before you take the boat back home, you must at some point read the Warren Report to hear a rumor about her, then do an optional battle to save her (keeping her alive during said battle again, though at least this time she isn't on the enemy side). Then during chapter 3, you must recruit Jeunan (who can be missed if you make the wrong dialogue choices), then later deploy him in a certain optional battle later on unlocked again through the Warren Report (during which certain dialogue must be heard, so don't kill the leader too fast). After ''that'', continue the campaign until you take Coritanae, then return to where the previously mentioned battle occurred and win the battle while protecting Ravness one last time. Only ''then'' she will finally join you if you make the right dialogue choice.

* SmugSnake: On the one hand, he’s a halfway decent strategist who understands human nature enough to turn a situation to his advantage. On the other, he’s not TheChessmaster he thinks he is and believes he has more sway over his subordinates than he really does; when things don’t go his way Ronway’s not nearly adaptable enough to regain the upper hand. As such he only gets so far before he ends up killed, one way or another.[[/folder]]

* ArcVillain: In the Chaotic route specifically, Leonar’s role as an antagonist is cemented when Denam refuses to rejoin at the end of Chapter 2; following the defeat of Xaebos midway through Chapter 3, he leads the main opposition to Denam within the Resistance.

* RouteBoss: He’s fought in both the Lawful and Chaotic routes.

* {{Expy}}: She’s ''Tactics Ogre'''s answer to Agrias Oaks of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics'' fame in almost every way.

* MutuallyExclusivePartyMembers: She’s only recruitable on the Lawful route; thus, she can't fight alongside [[spoiler:Cistina, Folcurt, Bayin, Cerya, Oelias, Dievold or Cressida.]]
* NobleFugitive: Ravness becomes a fine example of this trope in the Lawful route’s later chapters (provided she’s still alive in each hostile encounter).
* RouteBoss: In Chapter 1, on the Lawful path at Balmamusa; although, she’s technically a solitary third party between Denam’s forces and the Galgastani soldiers and doesn’t need to be fought at all (she’ll die if reduced to 0HP, but retreats if all the Galgastani are killed first).

Leonar's ex-girlfriend from Balmamusa, pissed off about the massacre due to her brother’s death. At first she opposes Denam greatly but depending on the route (and version of the game) she can become an ally.

* BrokenPedestal: She has one in Leonar once she learns the truth of Balmamusa; in Chapter 3 of the Chaotic route, their battle dialogue has her disparaging him for it, noting that her brother (one of the victims) had previously saved Leonar’s life and ''this'' was how his loyalty was repaid…?Made worse by the fact that [[StarCrossedLovers she and Leonar were lovers]], her dialogue insinuating they were outright ''intimate''. Also applies to Ronway, as in Chaotic she’s initially incensed that Denam would assert the Duke was involved prior to learning the truth.
* DefectorFromDecadence: When she learns the Walister Resistance were behind the Balmamusa massacre, including her injured brother, she leaves out of disgust. She then either joins with Vyce (on the Lawful route) or Denam (on the Chaotic route. On the PSP remake and ''Reborn'', she can technically rejoin the Resistance either on Neutral — although her faith in Denam initially plummets and must be rebuilt — or Lawful when Vyce agrees to join forces with Denam (assuming she’s alive).

* FieryRedhead: She’s got bright red hair and is deeply passionate and emotional.
* HeroAntagonist: At first, anyway; she’s both morally and personally incensed by the Balmamusa Massacre, which sets her on a collision course with Denam regardless of the path chosen:
** In the Lawful route where he's guilty, she opposes him as part of the New Walister Alliance; in the original version of the game, she perishes in the battle of Rhime. In the PSP and ’’Reborn’’ versions where she can avoid getting killed, she can join Denam's batallion and the Holy Knights [[spoiler:in opposition to Ronway, the mastermind of the slaughter.]]
** In the Chaotic route where he’s TheScapegoat, she begins to mellow down after Denam saves her life, following him until she learns the truth of the Massacre from Vyce. She then joins his team in full, directing her anger towards the true culprit, Ronway.

* MutuallyExclusivePartyMembers: In the original and PSX versions, she only joins on the Chaotic route (and leaves the party in Chapter 3 if Neutral is then chosen). Thus she can’t fight alongside [[spoiler:Vyce, Jeunan, Ocionne, Xapan, Oelias or Dievold.]] Subverted in the PSP and ’’Reborn’’ versions, where she ’’can’’ join on all routes, although getting her on Lawful requires some effort.
* NumberTwo: Becomes Vyce’s right-hand in the Lawful route; if she survives, she follows him in uniting his forces with Denam’s [[spoiler:after Ronway and Leonar are dealt with]].
* RecurringBoss: In Lawful she’s fought in two battles, first at Port Asyton and later at Rhime.

* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: As shown on the Chaotic route, Donnalto viscerally castigates Leonar for his involvement with Balmamusa; on the Lawful route, despite supporting Denam and thus condoning the massacre, his Loyalty does drop 20 points to show he’s internally conflicted about the whole matter. This is also explored in his battlefield dialogue with Ravness and Arycelle on the latter route.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: He’s quite chummy with people decades younger than him.

* WeUsedToBeFriends: He and Leonar were quite close, drawn together by a shared desire to improve the Walister people's lot in life. However, Donnalto will follow Denam and leave the Resistance if the latter refuses the orders at Balmamusa, which strains that friendship; when they battle in the late Chaotic route, Donnalto rebuffs Leonar’s justifications and [[HeWhoFightsMonsters scornfully considers]] him [[NotSoDifferentRemark no better than their enemies]].

* RouteBoss: He’s never encountered in the Neutral route.

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Despite being a loyal and high-ranking member of the Walister Resistance, he's unaware that the Balmamusa massacre was a FalseFlagOperation schemed by Ronwey and Leonar. His Warren Report entry ponders on how he would have reacted if he knew the truth, as he sincerely believes in Ronway’s worthiness as a leader.

* RouteBoss: He’s never encountered in the Neutral route.

* RouteBoss: He’s only fought in Chapter 2 of the Chaotic route.

* RouteBoss: She’s only fought in Chapter 2 of the Chaotic route.
* ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules: She flatly tells Xapan that she doesn’t care for the bounty on Denam; as long as he’s dead for Balmamusa (in which she lost friends) the finer details are irrelevant to her.

* TheGenericGuy: She’s a semi-unique recruit, having slightly better stats but little story presence or characterization other than what his Warren Report has on her.

* TheGenericGuy: He’s a semi-unique recruit, having slightly better stats but little story presence or characterization other than what her Warren Report has on him.

* TheGenericGuy: He’s a semi-unique recruit, having slightly better stats but little story presence or characterization other than what his Warren Report has on him.

* RouteBoss: He’s only fought in Chapter 2 of the Chaotic route.

* WomenAreWiser: She’s shown scolding her allies for needling Denam, noting they’re not going to accomplish anything by bickering amongst themselves.

* ForWantOfANail: Denam's decision at Balmamusa has a great effect to Ronwey's later attitude: If Denam obeyed him, Vyce turns against him and spreads word around Valeria about the nature of the FalseFlagOperation, fracturing the Walister and in turn weakening his foothold against the Galgastani. If Denam disobeyed, Vyce instead dives head first into the plan, and things proceed without a hitch, leading to a united Walister front that overwhelms the Galgastani. Denam's decision to join him at the Chaotic/Neutral split also effects how corrupt he's willing to become, as well, bargaining with Lodis and her Dark Knights in the Chaotic route without him.

%%* LadyOfWar

A Walister encountered as an enemy boss in the Lawful route. He's a member of the New Walister Alliance that attacks Denam at Tynemouth Hill.

* BrokenPedestal: [[spoiler:He's this to Arycelle as soon as she discovers the truth of the Balmamusa Massacre.]]

* DuelBoss: In the Chaotic route he challenges Denam to a duel at Coritanae, which the player can either accept or decline (the latter ensuring a more traditional fight). [[spoiler:In Lawful he attempts to force one to kill Denam, but is sabotaged by Vyce seeing through his gambit and stopping him.]]

* RecurringBoss: [[spoiler:In both Lawful and Chaotic, Nybeth raises him after his death in the Palace of the Dead alongside Xaebos.]]

* RecurringBoss: Fought multiple times across the game in the Lawful route, starting with Chapter 1’s final battle (assuming she’s not killed off right there and retreats).

* BrokenPedestal: [[spoiler:She has one in Leonar once she learns the truth in the Chaotic Route. Made worse by the fact that she was actually his ''[[StarCrossedLovers girlfriend]]''.]]

* BlindObedience: [[spoiler:Much of the nobility within the Resistance willingly side with Duke Ronwey in spite of his more questionable actions. On the Law and Chaos routes, much of their numbers have either been purged or cast out in favor of more like-minded allies.]]

** In the Neutral route he leverages considerable resources and manpower to arrest [[spoiler:Vyce,]] after he deserts the Walister. [[spoiler: This only succeeds in making Vyce so desperate and wrothful, he murders Ronwey in a suicidal attack.]]

* ForWantOfANail: Denam's decision at Balmamusa had a great effect to Ronwey's latter attitude: If Denam obeyed him, Vyce turns against him and spreads word around Valeria about the nature of the FalseFlagOperation, fracturing the Walister and in turn weakening his foothold against the Galgastani. If Denam disobeyed, Vyce instead dives head first into the plan, and things proceed without a hitch, leading to a united Walister front that overwhelms the Galgastani. Denam's decision to join him at the Chaotic/Neutral split also effects how corrupt he's willing to become, as well, bargaining with Lodis and her Dark Knights in the Chaotic route without him.

** In the Lawful route where he's guilty, she opposes him as part of Vyce’s resistance to the Duke; in the original version of the game, she perishes in the battle of Rhime. In the PSP and ’’Reborn’’ versions where she can avoid getting killed, she can join Denam's batallion and the Holy Knights [[spoiler:in opposition to Ronway, the mastermind of the slaughter.]]

* YoungerThanTheyLook: Arycelle is 8 years younger than Leonar, but the artwork for the remake makes her look like she's way older than that.

A Walister encountered as an enemy boss in the Lawful route. She ambushes Denam alongside Xapan at the Gates of Almorica.

* BlindObedience: [[spoiler:Much of the nobility within the Resistance willingly side with Duke Ronwey in spite of his more questionable actions. On the Law and Chaos routes, much of their numbers have either been purged or cast out in favor of more like-minded allies.]]

A faction that appears exclusively in the Lawful route, founded by Vyce and in opposition to Duke Ronway’s forces after the Balmamusa massacre. It consists of both former Resistance members like Arycelle who were convinced of the truth and defected in disgust, as well as those who weren’t originally part of any faction.

!!Major Characters

[[folder:Dame Ravness]]

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dame_ravness.png]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RikaFukami (JP), Helen Kennedy Turner (EN)

A new character added to the PSP version of the game. She is a Walister who serves with the Knights of Almorica and is a close confidant of Duke Ronwey, second only to Sir Leonar in rank. [[spoiler: She is the opposite of Leonar, always sticking with the side that refuses to take part in the massacre of Balmamusa. Though ironically, she is only recruitable if Denam sides with Leonar (and [[GuideDangIt completes multiple other requirements]].]]

* BraidsOfAction: Wears her long silver hair in two braids on the side of her head.
* CutsceneIncompetence: [[spoiler:Despite her combat abilities, it takes a single crossbow bolt from Vyce to fatally wound her in the Chaotic route.]]
* {{Expy}}: She’s ''Tactics Ogre'''s answer to Agrias Oaks of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics'' fame in almost every way.
* GuideDangIt: Recruiting her is particularly hard and almost impossible without following a guide, not to mention it will take you quite a while. First, she is locked behind the Lawful route (meaning you have to take part in the Balmamusa massacre), and she must survive said battle (while she tries to kill you).

After ''that'', continue the campaign until you take Coritanae, then return to where the previously mentioned battle occurred and win the battle while protecting Ravness one last time. Only ''then'' she will finally join you if you make the right dialogue choice.
* HalfBreedDiscrimination: She's of mixed race Walister and Galgastani; if she survives in a Lawful playthrough; both ethnic groups mistrust her.
* KnightInShiningArmor: She's one of the few who can access a class that previously was exclusive to Myrdin and Gildas, the White Knight.
%%* LadyOfWar
* MagicKnight: Her starting class is Valkyrie and she frequently attacks with magic when she appears as a guest.
* MutuallyExclusivePartyMembers: She’s only recruitable on the Lawful route; thus, she can't fight alongside [[spoiler:Cistina, Folcurt, Bayin, Cerya, Oelias, Dievold or Cressida.]]
* NobleFugitive: Ravness becomes a fine example of this trope in the Lawful route’s later chapters (provided she’s still alive in each hostile encounter).
* RecurringBoss: Fought multiple times across the game in the Lawful route, starting with Chapter 1’s final battle (assuming she’s not killed off right there and retreats).
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: No matter what, she turns on Ronway when [[spoiler:he orders the massacre of innocents]], deeming him a morally-deficit leader.
* ShipTease: Her and Canopus.
* ToBeLawfulOrGood: Her dilemma in the Lawful Route, [[spoiler:due to rebelling against Ronwey because of the [[FalseFlagOperation Balmamusa Massacre]]]].

[[folder:Thunder Maiden Arycelle]]
!!Arycelle Dania (Aloser Danya)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arycelle_dania_2.png]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Run Sasaki (JP;Sega Saturn), Creator/ChieNakamura (JP;Reborn), Creator/StephanieSheh (EN;Reborn)

Leonar's ex-girlfriend from Balmamusa, pissed off about the massacre due to her brother’s death. At first she opposes Denam greatly but depending on the route (and version of the game) she can become an ally.

* ArcherArchetype: And the ''best'' archer in the game, ''bar none''. She's generally calm and collected, unless [[BerserkButton someone insinuates about the Balmamusa massacre...]]
* BrokenPedestal: [[spoiler:She has one in Leonar once she learns the truth in the Chaotic Route. Made worse by the fact that she was actually his ''[[StarCrossedLovers girlfriend]]''.]]
* DefectorFromDecadence: When she learns the Walister Resistance were behind the Balmamusa massacre, including her injured brother, she leaves out of disgust. She then either joins with Vyce (on the Lawful route) or Denam (on the Chaotic route. On the PSP remake and ''Reborn'', she can technically rejoin the Resistance either on Neutral — although her faith in Denam initially plummets and must be rebuilt — or Lawful when Vyce agrees to join forces with Denam (assuming she’s alive).
* FieryRedhead: She’s got bright red hair and is deeply passionate and emotional.
* HeroAntagonist: At first, anyway; she’s both morally and personally incensed by the Balmamusa Massacre, which sets her on a collision course with Denam regardless of the path chosen:
** In the Lawful route where he's guilty, she opposes him as part of Vyce’s resistance to the Duke; in the original version of the game, she perishes in the battle of Rhime. In the PSP and ’’Reborn’’ versions where she can avoid getting killed, she can join Denam's batallion and the Holy Knights [[spoiler:in opposition to Ronway, the mastermind of the slaughter.]]
** In the Chaotic route where he’s TheScapegoat, she begins to mellow down after Denam saves her life, following him until she learns the truth of the Massacre from Vyce. She then joins his team in full, directing her anger towards the true culprit, Ronway.
* MeaningfulName: Takes her name from Allocer, one of the 23 demonic dukes of Hell in the Literature/ArsGoetia.
* MutuallyExclusivePartyMembers: In the original and PSX versions, she only joins on the Chaotic route (and leaves the party in Chapter 3 if Neutral is then chosen). Thus she can’t fight alongside [[spoiler:Vyce, Jeunan, Ocionne, Xapan, Oelias or Dievold.]] Subverted in the PSP and ’’Reborn’’ versions, where she ’’can’’ join on all routes, although getting her on Lawful requires some effort.
* RedBaron: The PSP remake gives her the title "Thunder Maiden" and she's usually hailed as Walister's best archer ever.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: She is nonplussed about the Balmamusa Massacre and the death of her brother [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown in a rather cowardly way]].
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: If you enter the Neutral Route, where [[spoiler:Denam rejoins Ronwey's resistance]], Arycelle won't put up with this. In the original, she will outright leave the party. In the remake when this happens, instead of just leaving your party, her loyalty level plummets since you are being wishy washy in her eyes. Unless you manage to raise her loyalty back up very fast, she will leave your party permanently. Hope you aren't in New Game Plus!
* ShockAndAwe: Her RedBaron status as "Thunder Maiden" is not just a title. It helps that the best Bow [[LimitBreak Finisher]] happens to be Lightning-elemental.
* ShoutOut: In the PSP version, Arycelle is given 'Thunder Maiden' title as a homage to [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics "Thunder God" Cidolfas Orlandeau]], since both Orlandeau and Arycelle were [[GameBreaker notoriously powerful units]] in the original versions of both games (since the original version came before Orlandeau's game where he built up his 'uber broken unit' creds, and her game's remake is ''after'').
* StarCrossedLovers: With Leonar, who's responsible for the Balmamusa Massacre, and she hunts the one responsible for it.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Arycelle is 8 years younger than Leonar, but the artwork for the remake makes her look like she's way older than that.

[[folder:Abuna Donnalto]]
!!Donnalto Presance (Donald Presance)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/donnalto_presance.png]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TakehitoKoyasu (JP;Sega Saturn), Creator/KatsuhisaHouki (JP;Reborn), Creator/JamiesonPrice (EN)

A Walister who fights for the Resistance and serves the Order of Philaha. He once cared for orphans at a church in Almorica, but it was razed to the ground by the Galgastani after war broke out, and he lost all that he held dear. He now devotes his life to seeking vengeance. He is friends with Leonar and Arycelle as well.

* ChurchMilitant: A religious preacher at heart, but heavily dedicated to avenging his lost flock.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: He’s quite chummy with people decades younger than him.
* MutuallyExclusivePartyMembers: With Felicia, as Donnalto needs to die in his introductory battle to recruit her.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: His original name and physical appearance was clearly intended to be [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Pleasance Donald Pleasance]].
* NotSoDifferentRemark: Donnalto sends this accusation at Leonar during Denam's last battle against him in the Chaotic Route.
--> '''Donnalto:''' [[spoiler:"And this gives excuse to murder our people as [[FalseFlagOperation you did in Balmamusa]]? If the means you use are any judge, you are no different than Balbatos and Brantyn!"]]
* RunningGag: A meta joke concerning how long the game has existed in all 3 of its iterations is tied to him. In the PSP remake he remarks it's been 15 years since he last fought undead, noting the 15 years since the SNES release. ''Reborn'', which was released a decade later, rephrases the line as "(a) quarter century".
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The artbooks spells his name as "Donayld".
* TookALevelInDumbass: In the PSP version, he tries to use Exorcism on a standing undead and it doesn't work, saying that it had been fifteen years since he last fought undead and got rusty. Conveniently, [[FridgeBrilliance fifteen years ago, his undead fighting tactic DID work]] because in the first version of the game Exorcism could insta-kill standing undead. This also serves as a clue as to how Exorcism works in the PSP version. ''Reborn'' even revised the script, changing the PSP version's 15 years to 25 years.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: He and Leonar were quite close, drawn together by a shared desire to improve the Walister people's lot in life. However, Donnalto will follow Denam and leave the Resistance if the latter refuses the orders at Balmamusa, which strains that friendship; when they battle in the late Chaotic route, Donnalto rebuffs Leonar’s justifications and [[HeWhoFightsMonsters scornfully considers]] him [[NotSoDifferentRemark no better than their enemies]].

[[folder:Xapan The Mercenary]]
!!Xapan Illudas (Zapan Illudus)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/xapan.png]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KenjiNomura (JP), David Shaugnessey (EN)

A Walister sellsword hired by the Resistance. He's a recruitable character in the Lawful route while an antagonist in the Chaotic and Neutral routes.

* BadassInDistress: In the Lawful Route, he's being cornered by Darza's pirates in Qadriga fortress when Denam encounters him. It takes quite a few turns before he's in any danger, but he will eventually be overwhelmed.
* BashBrothers: Has some rapport with Canopus if recruited, as they bond over the fact both are sellswords with chill attitudes.
* BoisterousBruiser: Xapan is this all the way, no matter the route, he's always this big, boisterous fighter with an axe with a hearty laugh to go (it even has its own animation!). If he's the highlight of the Lawful Ending, he also gave Denam a big hug for that.
* BountyHunter: In the Chaotic route, he relentlessly pursues Denam and Catiua due to the bounty placed on their heads.
* BrutishCharacterBrutishWeapon: Xapan has a very brutish look, boorish (in [[BoisterousBruiser a hearty manner]]) personality, and he's ''always'' seen with a big badass axe. If you take the time to recruit him only in Chapter 4 in the Lawful Route on the original, he nets you a unique axe.
* DualBoss: In the PSP/Reborn version, his third battle of the Chaotic route has him fight alongside Ramidos. The victory condition is to defeat both, but Xapan will retreat without his health being reduced if she is killed first.
* MutuallyExclusivePartyMembers: He can only be recruited on the Lawful route. Thus he cannot fight alongside [[spoiler:Cistina, Folcurt, Bayin, Cerya, Oelias, Dievold or Cressida.]]
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: He's pretty open about the fact he's only loyal to money. In fact, the only reason he has some affinity to the Walister Resistance is due to him being a Walister himself, who would never be hired by Galgastan due to prejudice.
* PsychoForHire: In the Chaotic route, where Vyce is paying him to chase Denam. His backstory also touches this: He'd sell his own mother if someone gets him on his hiring price.
* RecurringBoss: Fought three times on the Chaotic route’s Chapter 2.
* PsychoForHire: While he's a mercenary who is OnlyInItForTheMoney in every route, it's only in the Chaotic route where his more vile characteristics are revealed, such as his creepy attitude towards Catiua. His backstory also touches this, claiming he'd sell his own mother if someone gets him on his hiring price.
* YouHaveFailedMe: In the Chaotic route, at the Chapter 2 climax; after taking Catiua hostage and failing to kill Denam a ''third'' time, he flees into Almorica. Denam hurries after Xapan in time to witness Vyce, who hired him in the first place, cut the headhunter down for his failure.

!!The Walister Resistance (Walsta Liberation Army)

[[folder:Duke Ronwey]]
!!Duke Juda Ronwey (Judah Ronway)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/duke_ronwey.png]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MasakiTerasoma (JP), Creator/BrianGeorge (EN)

The leader of the Walister Resistance. After the onset of war, he led the beleaguered Walister people in their resistance of the Galgastani. The Duke was held prisoner in his own castle at Almorica.

* AristocratsAreEvil: While he may look like the BigGood at first, it quickly becomes clear he's a power-hungry noble who doesn't truly care for the Walister people, it just so happens that leading the Walister Resistence is a convenient vehicle for him to assume more power.
* BadBoss: Especially in the Lawful route, in which he tries to micromanage the war.
* BigGood: {{Subverted|Trope}} In chapter 1, he acts as the benevolent leader and a ReasonableAuthorityFigure for Denam and his army. The end of the chapter shows he's not as altruistic as he first appears and ends up as a major antagonist in chapter 2 and 3.
* BlackAndGrayMorality: The Gray one when compared to Balbatos. Ronwey might be very very flawed and not a good person, considered shrewd, manipulative and power-hungry on his own. However, he doesn't indulge himself with ObviouslyEvil bad acts like concentration/forced labor camp like Balbatos gleefully did nor did he answer everything with violence. Generally, he tries his best to win the favor of the Walisters even at his most incompetent parts (Lawful route).
* FatalFlaw: Pride. In all three routes the image-politicking he engages in to legitimize himself and the Walister ultimately leads to his downfall.
** In the Lawful route he pushes for a decisive rout of Galgastan in the field, despite Galgastan's numerical superiority. [[spoiler: The attempt results in the humiliation and near-collapse of the Walister; and reveals his lack of strategic acumen, necessitating his removal.]]
** In the Neutral route he leverages considerable resources and manpower to arrest [[spoiler:Vyce,]] after he deserts the Walister. [[spoiler: This only succeeds in making Vyce so desperate and wrothful, he murders Ronwey in a suicidal attack.]]
** In the Chaotic route he elevates Vyce to higher duties and stations, as a reward for his loyalty and to better harness him as a symbol of the Walister cause. [[spoiler: His patronage stokes Vyce's ambitions, and Vyce ultimately betrays Ronwey to his rival, Brantyn.]]
* ForWantOfANail: Denam's decision at Balmamusa had a great effect to Ronwey's latter attitude: If Denam obeyed him, Vyce turns against him and spreads word around Valeria about the nature of the FalseFlagOperation, fracturing the Walister and in turn weakening his foothold against the Galgastani. If Denam disobeyed, Vyce instead dives head first into the plan, and things proceed without a hitch, leading to a united Walister front that overwhelms the Galgastani. Denam's decision to join him at the Chaotic/Neutral split also effects how corrupt he's willing to become, as well, bargaining with Lodis and her Dark Knights in the Chaotic route without him.
* GeneralFailure: Many of his gambits turn out to cause more harm than good in the long term, most notably the [[spoiler:Balmamusa FalseFlagOperation]], which creates a rift in his chain of command that eventually proves ruinous. This becomes most apparent in the Lawful route, where Vyce successfully exposes the act in public and prevents it from uniting the Walister and the dissident Galgastani against Balbatos; Ronway becomes impatient, stops listening to Leonar and orders a full attack on the Galgastani forces before they're split, leading to a costly defeat and rendering Denam's feint pointless. Both Leonar, Denam and most of the Resistance lose faith on him after that. [[spoiler:Which leads to a rebellion where he's usurped]].
* JigsawPlot: Depending on your choices, Ronwey can become a pathetic BadBoss (Lawful), or an actually competent leader that ousted Balbatos (Chaotic). Then when the plot branches again, Ronwey can either become a ReasonableAuthorityFigure that always opposes the Loslorien (Neutral) or ends up bargaining an alliance with the Dark Knights ASAP to try and take control of southern Valeria (Chaotic). See ForWantOfANail above for how it came to be.
* TheLeader: As the most powerful and influential Walister, he's the figure in which they all rally around.
* ManipulativeBastard: He's a schemer and often tries to use underhanded tactics to turn people to his cause, often with mixed results.
* MeaningfulName: His name is derived from Ronové, a demon from the Literature/ArsGoetia who specializes in rhetoric and languages. This fits well with Ronwey's [[TheSocialExpert way with words]] during the early part of the story.
* NonActionGuy: He's not a fighter or a general and leaves the frontline to his officers.
* SmugSnake: On the one hand, he’s a halfway decent strategist who understands human nature enough to turn a situation to his advantage. On the other, he’s not TheChessmaster he thinks he is and believes he has more sway over his subordinates than he really does; when things don’t go his way Ronway’s not nearly adaptable enough to regain the upper hand. As such he only gets so far before he ends up killed, one way or another.[[/folder]]

A Walister who captains the Knights of Almorica. He serves as the right hand of Duke Ronwey, and is a vital member of the Resistance. His mother was killed by the Galgastani.

* BrokenPedestal: [[spoiler:He's this to Arycelle as soon as she discovers the truth of the Balmamusa Massacre.]]
* CameBackWrong: [[spoiler:Courtesy of Nybeth, in Lawful and Chaotic routes. Leonar stayed dead without unwanted revival in Neutral route because Nybbeth was already a Lich when met in the Palace of the Dead in the original version, while in the PSP version where he doesn't turn Lich early, he's already done his Death Knight project with Gildas.]]
* DeceasedFallGuyGambit: [[spoiler:In the Lawful Route, Leonar plans to kill Denam after murdering the Duke, then lay the blame on him in order to rally the Walister together. When things don't go out the way Leonar planned and Denam lands a killing blow on him instead, he asks Denam to instead lay the blame on him so that the Walister can rally under the Hero of Golyat.]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: He finds the modus operandi of the Liberation Front distasteful, yet [[spoiler:ends up doing far worse atrocities than them to help the Walister gain the upper hand.]]
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Leonar barely has any regrets on his part at the war, [[spoiler:especially the Balmamusa Massacre]].
--> '''Leonar:''' [[spoiler:[To Arycelle] "Do you think we did not understand what it was we did? What it would mean? It was a vile plot from the start, but it had to be done. For our people - our future! Galgastan hunted us. We had no other card left to play. So I did it - did it gladly! And if I had it to do again, I would!"]]
* ImpliedLoveInterest: It's all but confirmed he had an affair with Arycelle.
* JigsawPlot: Depending on what route you take, he either becomes a nice guy who tries to betray you at the end, is a nice guy regardless, or fights you anyways. Some considered it a letdown that he didn't join in Neutral, where he's always a nice guy.
* MyDeathIsJustTheBeginning: [[spoiler:In the Lawful route, when he dies, he tells Denam to blame everything on him, making Denam into a hero who can finally unite the continent.]]
* NumberTwo: He's Duke Ronwey's right-hand man.
* SecretlySelfish: Implied during the Neutral route. Leonar there is an idealistic, reasonable guy. However, [[spoiler:after his death by Catiua and the eventual liberation of Phidoch Castle, Denam monologues on just how sincere Leonar was in all his reasonability and idealism.]]
* TheStarscream: In the Lawful route, [[spoiler:where he suggests Denam to kill the Duke just so he could use him as a pariah to rally the Walisters on]].
* SuicideByCop:
** Implied in the Chaotic route [[spoiler:where it's revealed that he purposely put all the dark-hearted resistance members in Denam's path, and admits that Denam was right after he is mortally wounded]].
** Subverted in the Lawful route where [[spoiler:after you mortally wound him, he tells Denam to blame all the atrocities they have committed on him so he looks like a villain and Denam looks like a hero who everyone will follow. Denam asks if this was his plan all along. He replies he would have preferred Denam died instead but since he is dying, might as well help unify the kingdom under Denam, who is capable enough to lead them to freedom.]]
* ToxicFriendInfluence: He can convince Denam to [[spoiler:sanction the massacre at Balmamusa]] using TheNeedsOfTheMany and the greater good, which comes about again later when he [[spoiler:convinces him to turn on Ronway]].
* WellIntentionedExtremist: While he truly wants to strengthen his countrymen and protect the Walister, ultimately Leonar will commit any heinous act if he deems it necessary to achieve this end.

!!Duke Juda Ronwey (Judah Ronway)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/duke_ronwey.png]]

The leader of the Walister Resistance. After the onset of war, he led the beleaguered Walister people in their resistance of the Galgastani. The Duke was held prisoner in his own castle at Almorica.

* AristocratsAreEvil: While he may look like the BigGood at first, it quickly becomes clear he's a power-hungry noble who doesn't truly care for the Walister people, it just so happens that leading the Walister Resistence is a convenient vehicle for him to assume more power.
* BadBoss: Especially in the Lawful route, in which he tries to micromanage the war.
* BigGood: {{Subverted|Trope}} In chapter 1, he acts as the benevolent leader and a ReasonableAuthorityFigure for Denam and his army. The end of the chapter shows he's not as altruistic as he first appears and ends up as a major antagonist in chapter 2 and 3.
* BlackAndGrayMorality: The Gray one when compared to Balbatos. Ronwey might be very very flawed and not a good person, considered shrewd, manipulative and power-hungry on his own. However, he doesn't indulge himself with ObviouslyEvil bad acts like concentration/forced labor camp like Balbatos gleefully did nor did he answer everything with violence.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dame_ravness.png]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RikaFukami (JP), Creator/HelenKennedyTurner (EN)

A new character added to the PSP version of the game. She is a Walister who serves with the Knights of Almorica and is a close confidant of Duke Ronwey, second only to Sir Leonar in rank. [[spoiler: She is the opposite of Leonar, always sticking with the side that refuses to take part in the massacre of Balmamusa. Though ironically, she is only recruitable if Denam sides with Leonar (and [[GuideDangIt completes multiple other requirements]].]]

* BraidsOfAction: Wears her long silver hair in two braids on the side of her head.
* CutsceneIncompetence: [[spoiler:Despite her combat abilities, it takes a single crossbow bolt from Vyce to fatally wound her in the Chaotic route.]]
* {{Expy}}: She’s ''Tactics Ogre'''s answer to Agrias Oaks of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics'' fame in almost every way.
* GuideDangIt: Recruiting her is particularly hard and almost impossible without following a guide, not to mention it will take you quite a while. First, she is locked behind the Lawful route (meaning you have to take part in the Balmamusa massacre), and she must survive said battle (while she tries to kill you). Then in chapter 2 before you take the boat back home, you must at some point read the Warren Report to hear a rumor about her, then do an optional battle to save her (keeping her alive during said battle again, though at least this time she isn't on the enemy side). Then during chapter 3, you must recruit Jeunan (who can be missed if you make the wrong dialogue choices), then later deploy him in a certain optional battle later on unlocked again through the Warren Report (during which certain dialogue must be heard, so don't kill the leader too fast). After ''that'', continue the campaign until you take Coritanae, then return to where the previously mentioned battle occurred and win the battle while protecting Ravness one last time. Only ''then'' she will finally join you if you make the right dialogue choice.
* HalfBreedDiscrimination: She's of mixed race Walister and Galgastani; if she survives in a Lawful playthrough; both ethnic groups mistrust her.
* KnightInShiningArmor: She's one of the few who can access a class that previously was exclusive to Myrdin and Gildas, the White Knight.
%%* LadyOfWar
* MagicKnight: Her starting class is Valkyrie and she frequently attacks with magic when she appears as a guest.
* MutuallyExclusivePartyMembers: She’s only recruitable on the Lawful route; thus, she can't fight alongside [[spoiler:Cistina, Folcurt, Bayin, Cerya, Oelias, Dievold or Cressida.]]
* NobleFugitive: Ravness becomes a fine example of this trope in the Lawful route’s later chapters (provided she’s still alive in each hostile encounter).
* RecurringBoss: Fought multiple times across the game in the Lawful route, starting with Chapter 1’s final battle (assuming she’s not killed off right there and retreats).
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: No matter what, she turns on Ronway when [[spoiler:he orders the massacre of innocents]], deeming him a morally-deficit leader.
* ShipTease: Her and Canopus.
* ToBeLawfulOrGood: Her dilemma in the Lawful Route, [[spoiler:due to rebelling against Ronwey because of the [[FalseFlagOperation Balmamusa Massacre]]]].

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RunSasaki (JP;Sega Saturn), Creator/ChieNakamura (JP;Reborn), Creator/StephanieSheh (EN;Reborn)

Leonar's ex-girlfriend from Balmamusa, pissed off about the massacre due to her brother’s death. At first she opposes Denam greatly but depending on the route (and version of the game) she can become an ally.

* ArcherArchetype: And the ''best'' archer in the game, ''bar none''. She's generally calm and collected, unless [[BerserkButton someone insinuates about the Balmamusa massacre...]]
* BrokenPedestal: [[spoiler:She has one in Leonar once she learns the truth in the Chaotic Route. Made worse by the fact that she was actually his ''[[StarCrossedLovers girlfriend]]''.]]
* DefectorFromDecadence: When she learns the Walister Resistance were behind the Balmamusa massacre, including her injured brother, she leaves out of disgust. She then either joins with Vyce (on the Lawful route) or Denam (on the Chaotic route. On the PSP remake and ''Reborn'', she can technically rejoin the Resistance either on Neutral — although her faith in Denam initially plummets and must be rebuilt — or Lawful when Vyce agrees to join forces with Denam (assuming she’s alive).
* FieryRedhead: She’s got bright red hair and is deeply passionate and emotional.
* HeroAntagonist: At first, anyway; she’s both morally and personally incensed by the Balmamusa Massacre, which sets her on a collision course with Denam regardless of the path chosen:
** In the Lawful route where he's guilty, she opposes him as part of Vyce’s resistance to the Duke; in the original version of the game, she perishes in the battle of Rhime. In the PSP and ’’Reborn’’ versions where she can avoid getting killed, she can join Denam's batallion and the Holy Knights [[spoiler:in opposition to Ronway, the mastermind of the slaughter.]]
** In the Chaotic route where he’s TheScapegoat, she begins to mellow down after Denam saves her life, following him until she learns the truth of the Massacre from Vyce. She then joins his team in full, directing her anger towards the true culprit, Ronway.
* MutuallyExclusivePartyMembers: In the original and PSX versions, she only joins on the Chaotic route (and leaves the party in Chapter 3 if Neutral is then chosen). Thus she can’t fight alongside [[spoiler:Vyce, Jeunan, Ocionne, Xapan, Oelias or Dievold.]] Subverted in the PSP and ’’Reborn’’ versions, where she ’’can’’ join on all routes, although getting her on Lawful requires some effort.
* RedBaron: The PSP remake gives her the title "Thunder Maiden" and she's usually hailed as Walister's best archer ever.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: She is nonplussed about the Balmamusa Massacre and the death of her brother [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown in a rather cowardly way]].
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: If you enter the Neutral Route, where [[spoiler:Denam rejoins Ronwey's resistance]], Arycelle won't put up with this. In the original, she will outright leave the party. In the remake when this happens, instead of just leaving your party, her loyalty level plummets since you are being wishy washy in her eyes. Unless you manage to raise her loyalty back up very fast, she will leave your party permanently. Hope you aren't in New Game Plus!
* ShockAndAwe: Her RedBaron status as "Thunder Maiden" is not just a title. It helps that the best Bow [[LimitBreak Finisher]] happens to be Lightning-elemental.
* ShoutOut: In the PSP version, Arycelle is given 'Thunder Maiden' title as a homage to [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics "Thunder God" Cidolfas Orlandeau]], since both Orlandeau and Arycelle were [[GameBreaker notoriously powerful units]] in the original versions of both games (since the original version came before Orlandeau's game where he built up his 'uber broken unit' creds, and her game's remake is ''after'').
* StarCrossedLovers: With Leonar, who's responsible for the Balmamusa Massacre, and she hunts the one responsible for it.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Arycelle is 8 years younger than Leonar, but the artwork for the remake makes her look like she's way older than that.

A Walister who fights for the Resistance and serves the Order of Philaha. He once cared for orphans at a church in Almorica, but it was razed to the ground by the Galgastani after war broke out, and he lost all that he held dear. He now devotes his life to seeking vengeance. He is friends with Leonar and Arycelle as well.

* ChurchMilitant: A religious preacher at heart, but heavily dedicated to avenging his lost flock.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: He’s quite chummy with people decades younger than him.
* MutuallyExclusivePartyMembers: With Felicia, as Donnalto needs to die in his introductory battle to recruit her.

--> '''Donnalto:''' [[spoiler:"And this gives excuse to murder our people as [[FalseFlagOperation you did in Balmamusa]]? If the means you use are any judge, you are no different than Balbatos and Brantyn!"]]
* RunningGag: A meta joke concerning how long the game has existed in all 3 of its iterations is tied to him. In the PSP remake he remarks it's been 15 years since he last fought undead, noting the 15 years since the SNES release. ''Reborn'', which was released a decade later, rephrases the line as "(a) quarter century".
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The artbooks spells his name as "Donayld".
* TookALevelInDumbass: In the PSP version, he tries to use Exorcism on a standing undead and it doesn't work, saying that it had been fifteen years since he last fought undead and got rusty. Conveniently, [[FridgeBrilliance fifteen years ago, his undead fighting tactic DID work]] because in the first version of the game Exorcism could insta-kill standing undead. This also serves as a clue as to how Exorcism works in the PSP version. ''Reborn'' even revised the script, changing the PSP version's 15 years to 25 years.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: He and Leonar were quite close, drawn together by a shared desire to improve the Walister people's lot in life. However, Donnalto will follow Denam and leave the Resistance if the latter refuses the orders at Balmamusa, which strains that friendship; when they battle in the late Chaotic route, Donnalto rebuffs Leonar’s justifications and [[HeWhoFightsMonsters scornfully considers]] him [[NotSoDifferentRemark no better than their enemies]].

[[folder:Xapan The Mercenary]]
!!Xapan Illudas (Zapan Illudus)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/xapan.png]]

A Walister sellsword hired by the Resistance. He's a recruitable character in the Lawful route while an antagonist in the Chaotic and Neutral routes.

* BadassInDistress: In the Lawful Route, he's being cornered by Darza's pirates in Qadriga fortress when Denam encounters him. It takes quite a few turns before he's in any danger, but he will eventually be overwhelmed.
* BashBrothers: Has some rapport with Canopus if recruited, as they bond over the fact both are sellswords with chill attitudes.
* BoisterousBruiser: Xapan is this all the way, no matter the route, he's always this big, boisterous fighter with an axe with a hearty laugh to go (it even has its own animation!). If he's the highlight of the Lawful Ending, he also gave Denam a big hug for that.
* BountyHunter: In the Chaotic route, he relentlessly pursues Denam and Catiua due to the bounty placed on their heads.
* BrutishCharacterBrutishWeapon: Xapan has a very brutish look, boorish (in [[BoisterousBruiser a hearty manner]]) personality, and he's ''always'' seen with a big badass axe. If you take the time to recruit him only in Chapter 4 in the Lawful Route on the original, he nets you a unique axe.
* DualBoss: In the PSP/Reborn version, his third battle of the Chaotic route has him fight alongside Ramidos. The victory condition is to defeat both, but Xapan will retreat without his health being reduced if she is killed first.
* MutuallyExclusivePartyMembers: He can only be recruited on the Lawful route. Thus he cannot fight alongside [[spoiler:Cistina, Folcurt, Bayin, Cerya, Oelias, Dievold or Cressida.]]
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: He's pretty open about the fact he's only loyal to money. In fact, the only reason he has some affinity to the Walister Resistance is due to him being a Walister himself, who would never be hired by Galgastan due to prejudice.
* PsychoForHire: In the Chaotic route, where Vyce is paying him to chase Denam. His backstory also touches this: He'd sell his own mother if someone gets him on his hiring price.
* RecurringBoss: Fought three times on the Chaotic route’s Chapter 2.
* PsychoForHire: While he's a mercenary who is OnlyInItForTheMoney in every route, it's only in the Chaotic route where his more vile characteristics are revealed, such as his creepy attitude towards Catiua. His backstory also touches this, claiming he'd sell his own mother if someone gets him on his hiring price.
* YouHaveFailedMe: In the Chaotic route, at the Chapter 2 climax; after taking Catiua hostage and failing to kill Denam a ''third'' time, he flees into Almorica. Denam hurries after Xapan in time to witness Vyce, who hired him in the first place, cut the headhunter down for his failure.

* DualBoss: She fights alongside Xapan. If he's defeated first he'll just retreat, but he'll retreat if she's defeated, making her the true objective of the battle.
* FlatEarthAtheist: Her banter with Abuna Donnalto makes it clear she hates the Order of Philaha and doesn't believe their god is real, considering the whole religion just a fairy tale that tyrants like Balbatos and Brantyn use to control people. This is despite her magical knowledge, which comes from the gods.
-->'''Ramidos:''' You clergy are all alike. Invoke the name of God and you expect the people to follow you like sheep. Balbatos and Brantyn can scarce void their bowels without speaking Philaha's name. Well I'm not having any of it! Your god is just another faerie tale!

----

[[folder:Spellbinder Modiliani]]
!!Vailand Modiliani

A Walister encountered as an enemy boss in the Lawful and Chaotic routes. He's a high-ranking officer who is personally loyal to Duke Ronwey.

* AllThereInTheManual: Like most minor bosses, a lot of his characterization comes from his Warren Reports entry.
* AntiVillain: He's not an evil man and is dedicated to the Walister cause, but his blind loyalty to Ronwey forces Denam to have to fight and kill him.
* BadassTeacher: He used to be a magic teacher in Coritanae before the war started, but was imprisoned on false charges. Once he was rescued by the Duke, he joined the Resistance as a loyal soldier.

* SquishyWizard: As a sorcerer, he deals a lot of magic damage but can't take out much.

In the Chaotic route, Leonar selects him to fight Denam because Leonar wants to get rid of him for being a Ronwey loyalist.
* UnwittingPawn: In the Chaotic route, Leonar has him fight Denam, knowing he'll be killed, thus making it easier for either Leonar or Denam to take over the Walister cause from the Duke.
* WhatTheHellHero: No matter the route, he has this attitude towards Denam for taking up arms against Walister forces.

[[folder:Mage-Knight Phaesta]]

* BlackAndGrayMorality: The Gray one when compared to Balbatos. Ronwey might be very very flawed and not a good person, considered shrewd, manipulative and power-hungry on his own. However, he doesn't indulge himself with ObviouslyEvil bad acts like concentration/forced labor camp like Balbatos gleefully did nor did he answer everything with violence. Generally, he tries his best to win the favor of the Walisters even at his most incompetent parts (Law route).

** In the Law route he pushes for a decisive rout of Galgastan in the field, despite Galgastan's numerical superiority. [[spoiler: The attempt results in the humiliation and near-collapse of the Walister; and reveals his lack of strategic acumen, necessitating his removal.]]

** In the Chaos route he elevates Vyce to higher duties and stations, as a reward for his loyalty and to better harness him as a symbol of the Walister cause. [[spoiler: His patronage stokes Vyce's ambitions, and Vyce ultimately betrays Ronwey to his rival, Brantyn.]]
* ForWantOfANail: Denam's decision at Balmamusa had a great effect to Ronwey's latter attitude: If Denam obeyed him, Vyce turns against him and spreads word around Valeria about the nature of the FalseFlagOperation, fracturing the Walister and in turn weakening his foothold against the Galgastani. If Denam disobeyed, Vyce instead dives head first into the plan, and things proceed without a hitch, leading to a united Walister front that overwhelms the Galgastani. Denam's decision to join him at the Chaos/Neutral split also effects how corrupt he's willing to become, as well, bargaining with Lodis and her Dark Knights in the Chaos route without him.
* GeneralFailure: Many of his gambits turn out to cause more harm than good in the long term, most notably the [[spoiler:Balmamusa FalseFlagOperation]], which creates a rift in his chain of command that eventually proves ruinous. This becomes most apparent in the Law route, where Vyce successfully exposes the act in public and prevents it from uniting the Walister and the dissident Galgastani against Balbatos; Ronway becomes impatient, stops listening to Leonar and orders a full attack on the Galgastani forces before they're split, leading to a costly defeat and rendering Denam's feint pointless. Both Leonar, Denam and most of the Resistance lose faith on him after that. [[spoiler:Which leads to a rebellion where he's usurped]].
* JigsawPlot: Depending on your choices, Ronwey can become a pathetic BadBoss (Law), or an actually competent leader that ousted Balbatos (Chaos). Then when the plot branches again, Ronwey can either become a ReasonableAuthorityFigure that always opposes the Loslorien (Neutral) or ends up bargaining an alliance with the Dark Knights ASAP to try and take control of southern Valeria (Chaos). See ForWantOfANail above for how it came to be.

* CameBackWrong: [[spoiler:Courtesy of Nybeth, in Law and Chaos routes. Leonar stayed dead without unwanted revival in Neutral route because Nybbeth was already a Lich when met in the Palace of the Dead in the original version, while in the PSP version where he doesn't turn Lich early, he's already done his Death Knight project with Gildas.]]
* DeceasedFallGuyGambit: [[spoiler:In the Law Route, Leonar plans to kill Denam after murdering the Duke, then lay the blame on him in order to rally the Walister together. When things don't go out the way Leonar planned and Denam lands a killing blow on him instead, he asks Denam to instead lay the blame on him so that the Walister can rally under the Hero of Golyat.]]

* MyDeathIsJustTheBeginning: [[spoiler:In the Law route, when he dies, he tells Denam to blame everything on him, making Denam into a hero who can finally unite the continent.]]

* TheStarscream: In the Law route, [[spoiler:where he suggests Denam to kill the Duke just so he could use him as a pariah to rally the Walisters on]].

** Implied in the Chaos route [[spoiler:where it's revealed that he purposely put all the dark-hearted resistance members in Denam's path, and admits that Denam was right after he is mortally wounded]].
** Subverted in the Law route where [[spoiler:after you mortally wound him, he tells Denam to blame all the atrocities they have committed on him so he looks like a villain and Denam looks like a hero who everyone will follow. Denam asks if this was his plan all along. He replies he would have preferred Denam died instead but since he is dying, might as well help unify the kingdom under Denam, who is capable enough to lead them to freedom.]]

* CutsceneIncompetence: [[spoiler:Despite her combat abilities, it takes a single crossbow bolt from Vyce to fatally wound her in the Chaos route.]]

* GuideDangIt: Recruiting her is particularly hard and almost impossible without following a guide, not to mention it will take you quite a while. First, she is locked behind the Law route (meaning you have to take part in the Balmamusa massacre), and she must survive said battle (while she tries to kill you). Then in chapter 2 before you take the boat back home, you must at some point read the Warren Report to hear a rumor about her, then do an optional battle to save her (keeping her alive during said battle again, though at least this time she isn't on the enemy side). Then during chapter 3, you must recruit Jeunan (who can be missed if you make the wrong dialogue choices), then later deploy him in a certain optional battle later on unlocked again through the Warren Report (during which certain dialogue must be heard, so don't kill the leader too fast). After ''that'', continue the campaign until you take Coritanae, then return to where the previously mentioned battle occurred and win the battle while protecting Ravness one last time. Only ''then'' she will finally join you if you make the right dialogue choice.
* HalfBreedDiscrimination: She's of mixed race Walister and Galgastani; if she survives in a Law playthrough; both ethnic groups mistrust her.

* MutuallyExclusivePartyMembers: She’s only recruitable on the Law route; thus, she can't fight alongside [[spoiler:Cistina, Folcurt, Bayin, Cerya, Oelias, Dievold or Cressida.]]
* NobleFugitive: Ravness becomes a fine example of this trope in the Law route’s later chapters (provided she’s still alive in each hostile encounter).
* RecurringBoss: Fought multiple times across the game in the Law route, starting with Chapter 1’s final battle (assuming she’s not killed off right there and retreats).

* ToBeLawfulOrGood: Her dilemma in the Law Route, [[spoiler:due to rebelling against Ronwey because of the [[FalseFlagOperation Balmamusa Massacre]]]].

* BrokenPedestal: [[spoiler:She has one in Leonar once she learns the truth in the Chaos Route. Made worse by the fact that she was actually his ''[[StarCrossedLovers girlfriend]]''.]]

* NotSoDifferentRemark: Donnalto sends this accusation at Leonar during Denam's last battle against him in the Chaos Route.

* WeUsedToBeFriends: He and Leonar were quite close, drawn together by a shared desire to improve the Walister people's lot in life. However, Donnalto will follow Denam and leave the Resistance if the latter refuses the orders at Balmamusa, which strains that friendship; when they battle in the late Chaos route, Donnalto rebuffs Leonar’s justifications and [[HeWhoFightsMonsters scornfully considers]] him [[NotSoDifferentRemark no better than their enemies]].
