History Characters / TheBeginningAfterTheEndAlacryans

* SpareAMessenger: Despite killing her parents, Arthur chooses to spare Ada as she had nothing to do with their vendetta against him and had been abused by them.

* SoleSurvivor: Despite killing her parents, Arthur chooses to spare her.

* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:When Agrona gave out his final order, Melitta was HelplessToWatch as her husband and children were burned alive by their runes for their defiance. It is the loss of her family that is the cause for her hostility towards Caera when they meet again in Vildorial]].

!!!'''Debut:''' Volume 8 (Novel)[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/v5pjquqheuux0rcuy1a0gexts3k.png]]
->"''Do you know what the Asuran word for our kind is? Lessers.''"

An Alacryan noble and young Ascender who encounters Arthur AKA Grey, while delving into the Relictombs. She takes a keen interest in him for both the power he displays and the fact that he carried a dagger that belonged to her brother.

[[folder:Kalon Granbehl]]
The eldest child of Highblood Granbehl.

* ParentalFavoritism: Kalon was lauded by his parents as a prodigy. Suffice to say his death makes them furious, especially at his apparent murderer.

[[folder:Ezra Granbehl]]
The middle child of Highblood Granbehl.

[[folder:Ada Granbehl]]
The youngest child of Highblood Granbehl.

* SoleSurvivor: Despite killing her parents, Arthur chooses to spare her.

[[folder:Riah Faline]]

[[folder:Alaric Maer]]

* TheAlcoholic: Alaric is a heavy drinker.
* BigFun: Is noted to be rather portly and overweight, but is a very affable and genial person.
* DrowningMySorrows: He drinks to ease the pain he feels over the memory of his son's death.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: {{Invoked}}. He calls out [[spoiler:Arthur and his entourage for attempting to assassinate Exeges, for even though they weren't the ones to do it, his death allowed Agrona to galvanize the populace of Alacrya back to his side and hammer the final nail into the coffin for Seris's rebellion]].
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: He lost his son after he was identified as a Vritra-blooded and got taken away to be fostered. Years later, he found out that his son had died after the attempts to force his blood to manifest got him killed.
* TheSpymaster: After [[spoiler:being enlisted by Caera to aid in Seris's rebellion, he acts as one by setting up a network of informants. It does not last long as his ring gets purged by Agrona, though he continues to relay information to Arthur after Seris's rebellion flees to Dicathen]].

[[folder:Sulla Drusus]]
The head of the Ascenders Association in Cardigan and an old friend of Alaric's.

* BullyingADragon: Suffice to say, [[spoiler:dismissing the threats of his former overlord ends as well as one would expect]].
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:His runes are ignited which sets [[ManOnFire him on fire]], then he gets caught up in a black whirlwind and [[DeathByAThousandCuts completely lacerated]] by blades of wind and fire]].
* DoNotTauntCthulhu: So [[spoiler:Agrona, the GodEmperor of Alacrya himself, has suddenly taken control of Seris and her associates and threatened them back into his service. What does Sulla do? He has the temerity to remain defiant of Agrona and dismiss his threats in spite of what he just witnessed. Naturally, Agrona makes sure he does not live long enough to regret his choice of words]].
* SedgwickSpeech: When [[spoiler:Agrona takes control of Seris's rebellion by way of DemonicPossession, Sulla attempts to defy him as he gives a speech reminding those nearby of how much they have sacrificed in order to free themselves from Agrona's tyranny and dismissing his threats. Agrona promptly punishes him for his defiance in a very graphic fashion]].

!!Ordin Household
[[folder:Darrin Ordin]]
Alaric's former protégé. Arthur ends up living in his villa in Sehz-Clar during his time in Alacrya.

[[folder:Pen]]
One of Darrin's wards.

[[folder:Sorrel]]
One of Darrin's wards.

[[folder:Adem]]
One of Darrin's wards.

[[folder:Katla and Ketil]]
Two of Darrin's wards.

[[folder:Briar Nadir]]
One of Darrin's wards, who is training with him to prepare for her second year at Central Academy.

* YouRemindMeOfX: Arthur notes that he's seen worse when he is introduced to Briar and her prideful demeanor, for she reminds him a lot of Lucas.

!!Central Academy
[[folder:Director Ramseyer]]
The Headmaster of Central Academy.

* IWillPunishYourFriendForYourFailure: A big example of this. He may not have been aware of Arthur's true identity, but his act of hiring him and giving him support during his stay in Alacrya is enough for [[spoiler:Agrona to punish all of Highblood Ramseyer once Arthur's identity is revealed. That, and also his granddaughter Augustine's failure to hold Xyrus against Arthur, earns the director a one-way trip to the frontlines once Agrona gives his final order despite being an eighty-year old man far past his prime]].

[[folder:Janus Graeme]]
One of the foremost researchers at Central Academy.

* BullyingADragon: When Arthur ends up in the camp he was stationed at in Vechor during the Siege of Vildorial, Janus attempts to calm down his troops by saying that Arthur is barely clinging on to life. He is proven horribly wrong as Arthur proceeds to unleash the full power of the Destruction Godrune and obliterate everyone inside that camp.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: When Arthur is being shown around Central Academy, the clerk giving him the tour mentions that Graeme is "a bit, well...''harsh''" which hints at his collusion with the Granbehls and him becoming a thorn in Arthur's side during his time at the academy.
* MeaningfulName: Sharing a name with the two-faced god of doors and portals from Myth/ClassicalMythology indicates that Janus is a metaphorically two-faced person and not one to be trusted.

[[folder:Seth Milview]]
Circe's brother.

* AbandonedWarChild: An unorthodox example in that he is a child made neglected by the war rather than being a byproduct of it. Seth's sister Circe was called away to join their invasion force in Dicathen. Following her death in completing her mission, both of his parents moved to Elenoir as newly-elevated Highbloods to govern the Alacryan colony. Seth was left completely alone in his studies at Central Academy. Then his parents end up being getting killed when [[spoiler:they get caught up in the destruction of Elenoir when Aldir uses the World Eater technique on the kingdom]], leaving Seth completely alone in the world.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Like his teacher, Seth hated the Dicathians as the people whom his sister Circe had died fighting against as she had [[spoiler:died to successfully complete her mission to map out the enchanted elven forest, enabling the Alacryan invasion of Elenoir]]. However, thanks to Arthur's influence and guidance, Seth comes to the same realization as him that the other side [[spoiler:are as much victims of the DivineConflict as his own side]].
-->'''Seth:''' (''To Eleanor'') Professor Grey...Um, Arthur...your brother...he was the first person who made me feel seen, like I was worth something, since Circe died. Like someone actually cared. And then I learn he's not even ''from'' this continent. It really knocked me for a loop, you know?
* BystanderActionHorrorDissonance: It is from Seth's perspective that [[spoiler:Agrona's VillainOverride over Seris and her rebellion is witnessed. Seth is helpless to watch as Agrona makes examples of people he knows such as Lauden and Sulla and forces Seris and her supporters back to his side for the final assault, himself included. After being reunited with Mayla, the two of them are sent to the frontlines in Vildorial where they are compelled to fight on the pain of meeting the same fate, in the process being embroiled by the senseless carnage Agrona has thrown them into]].
* CainAndAbel: Thanks to Arthur mentoring him and imparting his values despite his prior animosity towards Circe, Seth ends up becoming a much better person than his sister.
* ChildSoldiers: The Just Plain Tragic Type. [[spoiler:When Agrona gives out the order to begin his final assault, he conscripts ''every'' single Alacryan. Naturally despite not being an adult, Seth is forcibly conscripted on the pain of death]].
* AFoolAndHisNewMoneyAreSoonParted: Congratulations, Seth! Thanks to your sister's actions during the war, your family name has been promoted to highblood status. How unfortunate that just shortly after getting that promotion, [[spoiler:your parents got caught up in the destruction of the kingdom your late sister helped to conquer, leaving you alone to fend for yourself in Central Academy with your newfound status meaning absolutely nothing, especially to the bullies who have picked on you for so long]].
* {{Foreshadowing}}: His introduction has him mention that he wants to a mage, just like his sister. It turns out said sister is someone Arthur has animosity towards, namely the Sentry who spearheaded the invasion of Elenoir.
* MoralityPet: [[spoiler:Despite his prior animosity to Highblood Milview, Arthur comes to realize that Seth not only had nothing to do with their actions, but is experiencing the exact same hatred towards the Dicathians that he has exhibited towards the Alacryans. As such, his mentorship of him not only changes Seth's view on the Dicathians, but his own view on the Alacryans]].
* NerdGlasses: A highly intellectual student at Central Academy who wears glasses as well. Unsurprisingly he gets picked on by bullies for his interests.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: He is an intellectual and his glasses are a sign of it.
* SoleSurvivor: His sister Circe [[spoiler:died of her wounds and mana overuse upon completing her mission to build and broadcast a map of the enchanted, unnavigable Elshire Forest of Elenoir for the Alacryan army's invasion]], and his parents were killed when [[spoiler:Aldir destroyed Elenoir]].
* WhiteSheep: [[spoiler:His parents and sister were supporters of the Vritra, but thanks to Arthur's influence Seth ends up opposing them, especially as he views them as the ones responsible for their fates]].

[[folder:Mayla Fairweather]]

* ChildSoldiers: The Just Plain Tragic Type. [[spoiler:When Agrona gives out the order to begin his final assault, he conscripts ''every'' single Alacryan. Naturally despite not being an adult, Mayla is forcibly conscripted on the pain of death]].
* IChooseToStay: She is one of several individuals who [[spoiler:choose to leave Seris's rebellion and take up Agrona on his offer of clemency]]. In her case, it is because of her sister Loreni, who is living in Etril.

[[folder:Enola Frost]]

* ChildSoldiers: The Just Plain Tragic Type. [[spoiler:When Agrona gives out the order to begin his final assault, he conscripts ''every'' single Alacryan. Naturally despite not being an adult, Enola is forcibly conscripted on the pain of death. If that was not enough, she ends up dying a senseless death being forced to fight people who were supposed to be her allies]].
* [[spoiler:DroppedABridgeOnHer]]: [[spoiler:Gets suddenly killed during the second Siege of Vildorial. It happens in the spur of a moment and Seth barely has the time to register her death]].
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She has golden hair but is a sweet and genial individual.
* [[spoiler:KillTheCutie]]: Despite her kindhearted personality, [[spoiler:she is the first of Arthur's students to die after Agrona gives out his final order, as she is unceremoniously killed during the second Siege of Vildorial]].
* [[spoiler:NeckSnap]]: [[spoiler:In the second Siege of Vildorial, her head gets snapped sideways from a hammer blow]].

[[folder:Tristan Severin]]

[[folder:Valen Ramseyer]]
Director Ramseyer's grandson.

* BreakTheHaughty: [[spoiler:His arrogant personality gets broken when Agrona strips his blood of their status as punishment and sends them all to the frontlines in Vildorial]].
* ChildSoldiers: The Just Plain Tragic Type. [[spoiler:When Agrona gives out the order to begin his final assault, he conscripts ''every'' single Alacryan. Naturally despite not being an adult, Valen is forcibly conscripted on the pain of death]].
