A stunning woman who is the top star of the Heimdallr Opera House and known as the Azure Diva. She also has another job at Radio Trista where she goes by the alias "Misty" and serves as the hostess of show Abend Time. She is later revealed to be the Second Anguis of Ouroboros whose title is Azure Abyss.

* AffablyEvil: Played with. Perhaps the worst acts that she's done so far is kidnapping Alfin and Elise early on in ''Cold Steel II'', and her role in triggering the Erebonian Civil War, considering the other villains in the game have done even more terrible things that even she sometimes disapproves of. Her earlier BitchInSheepsClothing role as well as her tendency to taunt the protagonists early on in ''II'' make it ambiguous whether her politeness throughout the games is genuine or an act, but by the end she proves to be a GracefulLoser with some very clear scruples of her own, making her a genuine example.
* AmicableExes: [[spoiler:A conversation with Crow in ''Cold Steel IV'' implies that she had some sort of relationship with him that went beyond being simple partners, but by the time of the game, both have seemingly moved on from each other.]]
* AttackAnimal: One of her Crafts has her {{Familiar}} Grianos transform into its OneWingedAngel form to attack the enemy.
* BecomingTheMask: While she initially starts being Misty as a means to safely infiltrate Trista, it's pretty clear she gets a kick out of it.
* BigBad: She serves as the main antagonist of ''Cold Steel II'' overall.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Downplayed; she initially acts friendly towards Rean and the members of Class VII before her true allegiance is revealed. But even afterwards, it's clear that she's not that bad compared to other villains in ''Cold Steel II'', and by ''III'', she drops the "bitch" part.
* BlowYouAway: Her regular attacks from ''Cold Steel IV'' onwards have her send a small tornado at her opponents.
* BreathWeapon: During her boss fight and when playable, one of her Crafts has her summon [[{{Familiar}} Grianos]] in his OneWingedAngel form, who then breathes a gust of chilling air at the enemy.
* BrokenPedestal: Machias and Elliot were huge fans of hers, but finding out that she's part of Ouroboros put a damper on this. Likewise, Emma had a case of BigSisterWorship towards her, but Vita breaking an unknown taboo of their clan resulted in those feelings becoming very mixed.
* BuxomBeautyStandard: She is quite well-endowed, which her outfits highlight, and several characters have commented on her beauty.
* TheCastShowoff: In-universe, she shows off her singing voice by performing an impromptu rendition of [[CallBack Whereabouts of the Stars]] during a broadcast. Then she gets called out for it. In ''Cold Steel IV'', she casually teleports onto Arc en Ciel's stage during a performance to join the vocal section, and does it so seamlessly that everyone in the audience thinks it was a planned part of the show.
* CelebrityMasquerade: She is a HotWitch and Anguis who moonlights as Erebonia's top opera star and as a popular radio personality during the first two ''Cold Steel'' games.
* ClarkKenting: Her disguise as Misty consists of glasses, a hat, and simpler and more conservative casual clothing. No one could tell who she was, not even people who were fans of both her personas such as Machias and Elliot.
* ColorCodedCharacters: Known as the [[RedBaron Azure Abyss]] as an Anguis and the [[StageName Azure Diva]] as an opera star, and was the one who lead Crow to the Azure Knight Ordine. Fittingly enough, she wears primarily blue outside of her Misty disguise, her weapons were a blue MagicStaff and later a blue CombatHandFan, and has a blue bird as a {{Familiar}}.
* CombatHandFan: Uses one from ''Cold Steel III'' onward as she had returned the staff that she used to Roselia after the events of the Infernal Castle, as the staff originally belonged to the latter in the first place.
* ContraltoOfStrength: Creator/EricaLindbeck gives her a low and regal voice in the English dub, befitting her abilities as an Anguis, mysterious nature as a witch, and former occupation as an opera singer.
* CoolBigSis: Towards Emma when they were younger. Even now, though they're on opposing sides, it's clear that Vita still cares for the former in her own way and is willing to give her advice too. Emma, for her part, still calls Vita "[[UsefulNotes/JapaneseSiblingTerminology Nee-san]]" in the Japanese script.
* DeathGlare: Gives a FRIGHTENING one to Duke Cayenne after he [[SpeakIllOfTheDead insults the recently killed Crow]] while holding Prince Cedric at blade point, complete with glowing BattleAura and [[PowerEchoes booming voice]].
* TheDogWasTheMastermind: One of the biggest reveals in ''Cold Steel I'' was the fact that the friendly radio DJ that Rean would occasionally meet was also a villainous witch who was also a member of Ouroboros.
* DragonWithAnAgenda: Although she's ostensibly subservient to Duke Cayenne for a majority of ''Cold Steel II'', she's not particularly interested in his goals and is merely pursuing her own aims, irrespective of the Noble Alliance's well-being.
* EarlyBirdCameo: In an interview with Creator/{{Falcom}} president Kondo, she was the woman flirting with Kevin at the beginning of ''The 3rd.''
* EasyAmnesia: She has a form of memory-manipulating ability. If you speak to Trista Radio's manager before the final battle, he'll tell you that he honestly doesn't remember ever hiring 'Misty'. She also performs it on the jaegers who were hired by Duke Albarea in the prologue, making them forget about what they saw in addition to having them leave Ymir.
* EnemyMine:
** In ''Cold Steel II'', she and Crow team up with Class VII to defeat the out-of-control Vermillion Apocalypse.
** [[spoiler:And then in ''Cold Steel III'' she lends her assistance to the heroes when they go up against Osborne and the other members of Ouroboros. What prevents it from being a full [[HeelFaceTurn Heel-Face Turn]] is that she's still loyal to the society - she just disapproves of their current operation.]]
** [[spoiler:Carries on in ''Cold Steel IV'' and ''Reverie'' as well. She is even invited to the Imperial Wedding in the former.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Genuinely cared for Crow and was genuinely upset at his death at the end of ''Cold Steel II'', becoming [[TranquilFury noticably enraged]] when [[SpeakIllOfTheDead Duke Cayenne insulted him]]. It's clear she also still cares for Emma deep down.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** When the Anguis discuss Weissman's death, she, Arianrhod, and the 1st Anguis consider him an AssholeVictim. And then there's Ymir where she thinks it was too much for Duke Albarea to raze Ymir just to grab Princess Alfin.
** She also displays a disdain for {{Sore Loser}}s in the climax of ''Cold Steel II'', where she's about to concede defeat to Class VII, only for Duke Cayenne to hold prince Cedric hostage and awaken the Vermillion Apocalypse. She's absolutely disgusted that he'd stoop this low, and after Crow sacrifices himself to defeat Vermillion and save Cedric's life, she angrily commands Cayenne to release Cedric, and would have followed through on her threats had Rufus not intervened.
** [[spoiler:Happens in ''Cold Steel III'' as well. The whole reason she teams up with the heroes in its climax is that she finds the Great Twilight plan to be way too dangerous to enact. As the ending shows, she was absolutely right.]]
* EvilKnockoff: [[spoiler:Played with in ''Reverie''; she has a Hollow copy that serves as a boss in the True Reverie Corridor, most notably when it fights [[DualBoss alongside]] Roselia's during Sara, Sharon, Aurelia, and Victor's Trial Door. That being said, Vita herself started out as a villain and remains an Ouroboros agent, even if she's been spending more of her time helping the heroes as of late.]]
* {{Familiar}}: Grianos, a blue-feathered bird capable of transforming into EldritchAbomination to attack enemies. It later died at Rufus' hand during the finale of ''Cold Steel II''.
* FanNickname: In-universe; her fans call her the Azure Diva.
* FireWaterJuxtaposition: She and her adoptive younger sister Emma are near opposites in terms of personality and roles, and fittingly enough, they also have opposite Orbal elements, with Emma having [[PlayingWithFire Fire]] as her secondary element while Vita has [[MakingASplash Water]] as her secondary element (which also happen to be the same secondary elements of the corresponding Awakeners they are [[ShipTease rather close to]]).
* GenkiGirl: Her Misty persona acts quite energetic when hosting Abend Time.
* GrandStaircaseEntrance: Her first appearance during Rean's field study in Heimdallr is this. There are only members of Class VII (and front desk) down there and clearly, two of them are awed by her appearance.
* GreaterScopeVillain: For the first part of the Erebonia arc, when she's pulling the strings behind the scenes to enact the Phantasmal Blaze Plan, but does not get directly involved until her proxy, Crow, is in danger. It's hinted she may also have been heading up operations in Crossbell around the same time, making her this to ''Zero'' and ''Azure'' as well.
* HasAType: If Crow and Loewe are any indication, Vita seems to have a thing for men with silver hair.
* HeadTurningBeauty: Several characters have commented on her beauty with her having a decent amount of fans in both of her personas as Misty and the Azure Diva.
* HighClassFan: Her hand fan from ''Cold Steel III'' onwards only adds to her former diva image.
* HighClassGloves: She wears some in her outfit from ''Cold Steel III'' onward, which is fitting considering her former occupation as a famous opera singer.
* HoldingYourShoulderMeansInjury: She holds her right shoulder throughout the finale of ''Cold Steel II'' due to Rufus slashing her in the back.
* HotWitch: Just like her sister Emma, she's a very beautiful member of a witch clan.
* HumansAreBastards: Her ''Aria of the Abyss'' S-Craft has her reciting a chant declaring this. It's left ambiguous on whether she actually believes so, or if it was done solely for dramatic effect.
-->'''Vita:''' Humankind are evildoers, shackled by emotion. Fury, misery, agony, envy. Behold the Abyss, for it longs to be forever at your side!
* AnIcePerson: One of her Crafts, Eternal Winter, surrounds her targets in ice.
* InstantFanclub: She's a famous opera singer in Erebonia, to the point of being considered the idol of the capital. She also got a second fanclub for her Misty persona.
* LadyOfBlackMagic: An elegant and beautiful woman, whose magical powers are considered second only to Crimson Roselia, the Elder of the Hexen Clan.
* LasciviousBeautyMark: She has a beauty mark below her left eye, and several characters have commented on her beauty and can be quite TheTease at times.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "The Witch of the Abyss" in ''Cold Steel II''.
* LimitBreak: Her S-Craft is Aria of the Abyss.
* MagicStaff: She fights with one in ''Cold Steel II'' though she no longer uses it after the events of the Infernal Castle as she had returned it to its rightful owner Roselia.
* MakingASplash: Her secondary element is Water, contrasting Emma's Fire.
* MasterOfNone: Not as extreme as Emma, Eliot and Alfin but she has rank for all attack type with relatively lower individual rank than most fighters. The difference is that unlike 3 other MagicStaff users, she manages to score B on "thrust" and "pierce" type.
* MsFanservice: She's got a large chest and long, shapely legs, and her default dress in the first two ''Cold Steel'' games is a [[SexyBacklessOutfit Sexy Backless Outfit]] that shows plenty of cleavage. Several characters (both male and female) are even shown commenting on her beauty.
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: Much like the other members of Ouroboros joined with the Noble Alliance, Vita has no interest in their goals and says as much towards Duke Cayenne during the finale of ''Cold Steel II''.
* NoodleIncident: She was apparently banished from the Hexen Clan after breaking an unknown taboo seven years ago. What the taboo was and her motives for doing so and her reasons for joining Ouroboros remain a mystery.
* OptionalPartyMember: You can make her playable in ''Cold Steel II'' using DLC item in Japan. For other territories, she can be unlocked by purchasing a Phantasmal Mirror for 200,000 mira.
* OutGambitted: By Osborne at the end of ''Cold Steel II''.
* PetTheDog: Seems to have genuinely cared for Crow and is clearly upset over his death. She even apologizes to Class VII and asks them to take care of him. Partnering them up at the Reverie Corridor and she refers to him as an ideal knight in their victory quote.
* PimpedOutDress: When not disguising herself as Misty, her main outfit is a flowing blue dress befitting her status as an opera singer. She eventually trades it in for a somewhat more practical, yet still just as fancy outfit in ''Cold Steel III''.
* PreFinalBoss: In ''Cold Steel II'', she and Crow serve as the last bosses fought in the main story before the [[FinalBoss Vermillion Apocalypse]].
* PromotedToPlayable: While ''Cold Steel II'' allows players to use her via Phantasmal Mirrors, she isn't physically present herself. [[spoiler:''Cold Steel IV'' finally allows her to be playable once again alongside a lot of characters.]] She is the first Anguis to become playable.
* PurelyAestheticGlasses: Justified because it's part of her "Misty" identity. Only Rean sees through it because of his powers help him see through her illusion.
* PurpleIsPowerful: Her eyes are purple, denoting her status as a powerful witch.
* PurposelyOverpowered:
** [[spoiler:While she's decently strong on her own, her Brave Order in ''Cold Steel IV'', Secret Art - Azure Peacock, allows all characters a flat 100% increase in damage for eight turns, effectively doubling their attack power. She's only available for her dungeon's boss and the TrueFinalBoss fight. It's balanced by the fact that it costs 5 Brave Points to cast but at that point, players already have ways to regain BP pretty quickly.]]
** In ''Reverie'', [[spoiler:while the turn limit for her Brave Order lasts only for four turns, she's one of the two characters who has access to the Art Boost IV passive link ability where she can bestow whoever's linked with her double the damage when the one linked with her is casting arts. The only drawback is that she and the character linked with her have to be at link level 6.]]
* ReallyGetsAround: Downplayed since the full extent of her personal life is unknown; in ''The 3rd'' she learns of Kevin's ties to Carnelia and is quick to show interest in him. The Fourth Anguis berates her for this, noting that it hasn't even been that long since Leonhardt's passing, whom Vita herself was apparently heavily interested in, and she's already showing interest in another guy. It's also worth noting that around this time she's already well-acquainted with and close to Crow.
* RedBaron: Nicknamed as the "Azure Diva" among her fans. Her title as an Anguis, on the other hand, is the "Azure Abyss."
* SecretIdentity: In addition to being an opera singer she took on the Misty persona and a job at Radio Trista for fun. Rean is the first person to find out about it and she rewards him with a Misty sticker by dropping it off at his mailbox.
* SexyBacklessOutfit: Her default blue outfit from ''Cold Steel II'' leaves her back exposed.
* SexySlitDress: Both the dresses she wore have a decently high slits that expose much of her legs.
* ShipTease: With Crow. [[spoiler:Some of their dialogue makes them come across as exes who still occasionally flirt with each other.]]
* SiblingYinYang: She and her adoptive younger sister Emma are near opposites in terms of personality and roles. Emma is shown to be a reserved ReluctantFanserviceGirl, lacking confidence, and finds herself frequently LockedOutOfTheLoop. Vita, meanwhile, is a very confident Anguis who is comfortable with her looks (to the point of being TheTease at some points) and is very knowledgeable about what goes on behind the scenes in regards to the origins of the Hexen Clan and other parts of the supernatural. Fittingly, the two also have opposite Orbal elements, with Emma having [[PlayingWithFire Fire]] as her secondary element while Vita has [[MakingASplash Water]] as her secondary element, the same as the secondary elements of the corresponding Awakeners they're [[ShipTease rather close too]].
* SignatureScent: She smells of lavender, as noted by Rean and Emma. Emma catching the scent of lavendar on Rean after he ran into her by chance sets her off for a moment.
* SpontaneousWeaponCreation: Her Dancing Blades Craft has her summon numerous floating {{Flaming Sword}}s to slash the enemy apart.
* SuperEmpowering: Near the end of ''Cold Steel II'', she casts a spell to empower Crow's weapon enough that he could stagger the Vermillion Apocalypse with his [[SwordBeam Deadly Cross]], with the latter's comment indicating that she likely used it to help him clear the trials to become Ordine's Awakener. [[spoiler:She and Roselia also cast the same spell on Aurelia, Victor, Matteus, Vandyck, and Wallace so they could deflect the Retributive Tower's WaveMotionGun.]]
* TheTease: Flirted with Kevin briefly during the beginning of ''The 3rd'', was stated to have regularly done so with Loewe as well while he was alive, and also did so briefly with Rean when the latter figured out her identity while she was disguised as Misty.
* TokenGoodTeammate: [[spoiler:In ''Cold Steel III'', all the other Anguis were willing to side with the gnomes in order to reclaim the Phantasmal Blaze Plan. Vita disapproves and goes independent.]]
* TranquilFury: When Cayenne is holding Prince Cedric hostage and calling a dying Crow a worthless wretch from a destroyed country, Vita stands, closes her eyes, and calmly orders him to unhand the prince before she makes him do it by force which is punctuated by her opening her eyes in her extremely creepy, shrunken-iris spell-casting expression.
* TrueBlueFemininity: She is a graceful opera singer and LadyOfBlackMagic who is heavily associated with the color azure.
* VaporWear: Her dress from the first two ''Cold Steel'' games revealed enough of her [[SexyBacklessOutfit back]] and [[CleavageWindow cleavage]] exposed to make it clear that she isn't wearing a bra.
* VillainousFriendship: Despite Crow not being an Ouroboros member, her friendship with him is genuine, as shown by their Combat Link and when she mourns his death.
* TheUnfought: In ''Cold Steel I'', which makes sense, given how her identity is only revealed at the end. Also, in ''Cold Steel III'', [[spoiler:because she and Class VII technically aren't enemies at the moment.]]
* TheUnreveal: It's never revealed what exactly was the taboo she broke throughout the entire Erebonia arc or even in ''Reverie''.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HideyukiTanaka (Japanese), Creator/KeithSilverstein (English)
-->'''Appearances''': ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky FC]]'' | ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky SC]]'' | ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky The 3rd]]'' (Replica)

An archaeologist whom Estelle and Joshua meet in the prologue of ''FC'' and appears several times since. He is researching relics of ancient Zemuria. At least, that's what he claims. He is in fact a high-ranking member of the secret society Ouroboros.

* AbsentMindedProfessor: He puts on an act as one as Professor Alba.
* AdaptedOut: Despite being briefly shown in the opening credits, he does not appear in the OVA proper.
* AdventurerArchaeologist: Double subverted. In ''FC'', he appears to be a weak archaeologist who explores the Tetracyclic towers regardless of the risks, only to be revealed as the BigBad. Then ''SC'' reveals that despite his false name and persona, he actually is a certified archaeologist.
* AndThereWasMuchRejoicing: [[spoiler:Most of his fellows Anguis are clearly amused by his demise, but it isn't hard to imagine why. Likewise, the Enforcers didn't care one bit for his death, and are more touched by Loewe's.]]
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:As cruel as his method of execution was, it's hard to feel the slightest bit of pity for him.]]
* BarrierChangeBoss: The first half of fight with him[[spoiler: at his [[OneWingedAngel second transformed form]] after merging with Aureole]], thanks to the mooks around him. The vulnerability exist even after the mooks were defeated and he can summon those indefinitely.
* BigBad: He's the main villain of ''FC'' and ''SC''.
* CardCarryingVillain: [[spoiler:Zigzagged. He's a proud {{Sadist}}, yet he still views himself as the savior of humanity.]]
* TheChessmaster: Combined with ManipulativeBastard. [[spoiler:He was playing Cassius, Joshua, and the Bracer Guild since the opening cutscene of the first game by making Joshua a ManchurianAgent. Years later, he manipulates Richard into starting a coup that allows Ouroboros to further undo the seals on the Aureole.]]
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:Very ''very'' cruel. He is shot with a Salt Bolt, a 'cursed' weapon that slowly transforms the victim into salt from the inside out. Weissmann is fully aware what is happening to him as his body succumbs to the effect, cursing his killer with his last breath. After his whole body was turned into salt, Campanella ''shattered'' his salt body to pieces.]]
* CutscenePowerToTheMax: His True Evil Eye outright traps the party in cutscenes. In battle, it simply deals AOE damage while inflicting confusion and AT Delay.
* DarkMessiah: This is essentially how he sees himself. [[spoiler:Not for nothing is the final battle BGM of ''SC'' called "The Merciless Savior." However, when it comes to his own standing in Ouroboros, he seems to be the only one who believes he's doing any "saving." The Enforcers working under him all have their own agendas and consider their teamwork with him to be a matter of convenience.]]
* DeaderThanDead: [[spoiler:As a consequence of being killed with a Salt Bolt]]
* DeathGlare: His Evil Eye craft is far stronger than Joshua's.
* DeceptivelyHumanRobots: ''SC'' shows that he made puppet copies of Joshua that initially seem convincing, but are quickly proven to be anything but.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler:For all his planning, he completely underestimates Loewe when he became Angel Weissmann, not taking Loewe's Divergent Weapon into the equation, despite this same weapon being necessary to his plan mere days before.[[note]]Later games establish that the only way to harm a Divine Beast is to use a Divergent Weapon, which is why you only see Loewe and Weissmann taking on Ragnard.[[/note]] ]]
* DyingDeclarationOfHate: His last words before dying are used to insult his killer.
* EternalRecurrence: His view of human nature is such that he is convinced that humanity can't be trusted to not make disastrous decisions over and over. The fact that about half of the known issues with the modern world are Weissmann's fault or are otherwise attributable to Ouroboros seems to have passed him by.
* EvilSoundsDeep: [[spoiler:In the ''Evolution'' remakes, when his voice sounds basically really deep, especially when he is gloating about his plans]].
* FaithHeelTurn: He used to be an academic priest after being taken in by the Septian Church, but his fascination with the Aureole and meeting with the Grandmaster led to him discarding the path of faith, in his own words.
* FalseFriend: [[spoiler:For most of ''FC'', he poses as Professor Alba, a friendly archaeologist who just happens to cross paths with Estelle and Joshua on multiple occasions, and even offers his assistance at a few points, such as helping them get past a security checkpoint when they get held up, or providing them a lead on a jaeger assault. He continues his chummy act right until the very moment of TheReveal when Joshua finally figures him out, and after [[BreakThemByTalking emotionally breaking the poor guy]], ''he continues the act when he encounters Estelle'', who doesn't discover his true colors until well into ''SC'''s storyline.]]
* FatalFlaw: [[{{Sadist}} Sadism]], as it contributed to his downfall when [[spoiler:[[MagnificentBastard Cassius]] and [[ManipulativeBastard Kevin]] [[FlawExploitation exploited it]] near the end of ''SC''. Even before that, though, his cruelty causes him to make enemies out of his fellow Ouroboros members and allies, who let him die.]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: [[spoiler:After his cover is revealed in ''FC'', he tries to come off as an affable ex-boss to Joshua, while still planning on making his life miserable and turning him into a puppet again. At the end of ''SC'', he even gives the party a historical lecture before trying to force Joshua to kill Estelle in order to break him.]]
* FinalBoss: [[spoiler:Of ''SC'', as "Angel Weissman."]]
* FlawExploitation: He pulls this on Estelle, knowing that if some of her comrades are put in danger she'll [[LeeroyJenkins charge in to rescue them]]. [[spoiler:[[MagnificentBastard Cassius]] and [[ManipulativeBastard Kevin]] pull this on ''him'' at the end of the game, knowing that he won't possibly be able to resist the temptation to be a completely sadistic asshole once he regains control over Joshua. [[BatmanGambit They're right.]]]]
* ForTheEvulz: Subverted for the most part. [[spoiler:While he's a card-carrying sadist, his acts of cruelty are usually related to advancing his agenda in some way, with everyone's suffering being treated as the cherry-on-top. Even the trauma he puts Joshua through is supposedly part of an experiment for brainwashing humanity.]] Not that it doesn't come back to bite him.
* ForScience: His stated motive for most of his actions, when he isn't claiming to be a savior who can deliver mankind from doom. Even his most cruel and sadistic actions are mere experiments in his eyes.
* FourEyesZeroSoul: He wears glasses before and after the reveal. He's also the most evil character in the trilogy.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: No one in Ouroboros likes him, but they are forced to put up with him, as he is the only one who knows how to find the Aureole. His successor as Third Anguis, [[spoiler:Mariabell]], even remarks how much every other Enforcer and Anguis seemed to hate him.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: A series of coincidences turned an ordinary young man into one of the most dangerous people in Zemuria. [[spoiler:First, the [[CataclysmBackstory Salt Pillar Incident]] devastated his homeland and led to him being taken in by the Church. Then, his curiosity led to his desire to study [[TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow the Sept-Terion and the Stigma phenomenon, which is forbidden.]] His desire caught the attention of [[TheAce Rufina Argent]], who [[AllThereInTheManual informed higher authorities about it.]] Weissmann was eventually excommunicated, but not before making a great deal of progress studying Stigmas... and not before he was approached by [[AncientConspiracy Ouroboros]].]]
* GoodEyesEvilEyes: His eyes are [[EyesAlwaysShut mostly shut]] as Professor Alba. As Weissmann, however...
* GreaterScopeVillain: Probably more so than any other member of Ouroboros as a lot of tragic events can be traced back to him. [[spoiler:He was a key player in the Tragedy of Hamel, an event changed the lives of Joshua, Loewe, [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel Rean, Osborne, Lechter and Ash]], which then spiraled with Osborne becoming the chancellor and conquering other countries, Joshua and Loewe becoming Enforcers, Rean having a SuperpoweredEvilSide because Osborne had to transplant his heart to Rean, Lechter joining the Ironbloods to atone for his father's sins, and Ash carrying Erebonia's curse with the activation that he has "shoot the ones responsible for the incident", culminating with Ash shooting the emperor (who was innocent but offered his life to cure Ash of the curse) with a gun from Calvard and allow Osborne to declare war on Calvard.]] In short, ''the entire series'' can be blamed on him for pulling the metaphorical trigger!
* HateSink: He has absolutely ''no'' redeeming qualities. Not even his fellow Ouroboros members seem to like him all that much: his treatment of Joshua earned scorn [[EvenEvilHasStandards even from the other Anguis]], such as [[spoiler:Vita]] and Arianrhod. To top it all off, [[spoiler:after Kevin shoots him with a salt arrow, Campanella makes sure he'll ''stay'' dead, by smashing him to pieces.]]
* HolierThanThou: Estelle calls him out for acting this, complete with outright telling the trope name. [[spoiler:Made [[{{Irony}} ironic]] and somehow an [[InvertedTrope inversion]] since he was excommunicated from Septian Church due to his heresy act.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Anytime he seems to have a nobler side, he'll subvert it by having sinister motives behind his actions.
** He "cured" [[spoiler:Joshua]] of his catatonic state, but only because he wanted to use the boy as a brainwashed pawn. Not to mention he was behind the tragedy that caused the latter's trauma in the first place.
** He seems oddly concerned about ending humanity's cycle of apathy and violence and isn't entirely wrong about Liberl Ark's self-destructive culture, but this is undermined by his hypocrisy. [[spoiler:He started the Hamel massacre and the 100 Days War in order to destabilize Liberl, all to make it easier to claim the power of the Aureole, making him just as warlike and greedy as the people he looks down on. His plan to make everyone "perfect" via brainwashing is also presented as the "easy way out," which is exactly the mindset people had when abusing the Aureole's gifts.]]
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: [[spoiler:At the start of ''The 3rd'', most of the party thinks Weissmann escaped and became a KarmaHoudini for all his atrocities. They have no idea that Kevin delivered karma in the form of a Salt Bolt.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: His reveal as the BigBad establishes that the lighthearted mood of ''FC'' isn't going to last.
* KnightTemplar: A completely unsympathetic example. [[spoiler:He insists that humanity is hopelessly flawed and is doomed to either constant warfare or complacent hedonism, so he wants to use the Aureole to brainwash them via Stigmas like he did to Joshua. He also likes to conveniently ignore his own role in actively causing conflict between Liberl and Erebonia and insists that the fact that he easily manipulated these conflicts is proof that humans are sinful. He sees himself so far above humanity that he thinks his sadism is justified.]]
* {{Leitmotif}}: He has no less than ''3'' exclusive themes in ''SC'': [[spoiler:"A Gravestone Struck by Lightning" for his on-foot battle, "Outskirts of Evolution" for the first form of Angel Weissman, and "The Merciless Savior" for the final form of Angel Weissman.]]
* LightIsNotGood: His name certainly indicates this [[spoiler:and even his OneWingedAngel form actually looks angelic in a way.]]
* LimitBreak: His S-Craft is Another Dimension.
* MagicStaff: Uses one in combat, one given by the Grandmaster along with Loewe's Kernviter.
* MeaningfulName: His fake and real name mean "white" and "white man" respectively, which is the [[LightIsNotGood color he dresses in]] after TheReveal. His real name could also be considered a pun on "wise man", which fits as he is a scientist.
* NeverMyFault: [[spoiler:Even when Loewe gets him to admit to starting the 100 Days War, Weissmann has the audacity to claim that it was humanity's fault for being so easy to manipulate.]]
* NietzscheWannabe: [[spoiler:The ultimate explanation for his Gospel Plan and why his final battle BGM is called "The Merciless Savior": he believes humanity is doomed to continually repeat the mistakes of the past and that everything will be pointless unless he forces the species into a new direction. Other characters (namely Estelle) are only too happy to point out that part of the problems are ones ''he'' caused and get a few points for thinking more like Nietzsche when they tell him that ''they'' don't think humanity is hopeless and are working to overcome their flaws.]]
* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:He claims to be fixing humanity's flaws by using the Stigma to make them perfect, thus preventing their ViciousCycle of complacency, regression, and violence. Given that he constantly instigates human conflict and enjoys the suffering caused by his schemes, it becomes obvious he's a misanthrope who cares more about [[ControlFreak controlling]] and toying with humanity than actually saving them. This is further shown in his interactions with Joshua and Kevin. He claims the Stigma can save them from their tragic pasts, but is angered when their friends help them overcome their issues with their own free will, since that robs him of the opportunity to experiment on them and mold them to his liking.]]
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Downplayed. He actually does own his archeology credentials, but he pretends to be ditzy in order to hide his role as the BigBad.
* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:Twice, and almost literally, as a result of his merging with the Aureole. His first transformation is into a gigantic white monster with what look like wings folded over the front of his body, no legs and [[EyesDoNotBelongThere too many eyes.]] When the Aureole forcibly transforms him further, the 'wings' unfold to reveal enormous arms, a serpent-like tail attaches to his lower body and actual glowing wings sprout from his back with a halo completing the angelic imagery. It's even called ''Angel'' Weissman.]]
* PeoplePuppets: [[spoiler:His specialty, and it's implied his plan for "evolving" humanity is going to involve brainwashing.]]
* PerpetualPoverty: Professor Alba's excuse for never hiring Bracers.
* PsychoticSmirk: [[spoiler: His default expression after TheReveal.]]
* RedBaron: "Weissmann the Faceless."
* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[spoiler:His eyes glow bright red when he finds opportunities to engage in sadism.]]
* {{Sadist}}: [[spoiler:Ragnard accuses him of being unable to feel joy unless he's making his fellow humans suffer, which Weissmann takes as a compliment.]]
* SequentialBoss: [[spoiler:The final battle of ''SC'' consists of 3 phases: one battle against him as a human, followed by battles against both forms of Angel Weissman.]]
* SinisterMinister: [[spoiler:SC reveals that Weissmann was once a member of the Septian Church who was excommunicated for unspecified reasons. He certainly dresses the part. Outside material explains in more detail that he wanted to conduct research the church considered to be [[BrideOfTheMonster tampering in the Goddess' domain]], particularly concerning the Sept-Terrion and the Stigma phenomenon.]]
* TheSociopath: He feels no guilt for the lives he ruined, acts charming to manipulate others, can only feel joy from tormenting others, and believes he's superior to the rest of humanity.
-->'''Loewe:''' Forget bad taste. The only word for you at this point is sick.
* SquishyWizard: His human form has less HP than all the Axis Pillar Enforcers while having the highest ATS, though he still has high DEF thanks to being about 5 levels higher than all of them except Loewe.
* TakenForGranite: [[spoiler:His death at the hands of Kevin is essentially this.]]
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: [[spoiler:Being shot by a Salt Bolt is definitely this. Though it also carry a fair bit of DeathByIrony because he was killed by the incident that essentially changed his life.]]
* {{Ubermensch}}: [[spoiler:He sees himself as this. The fact that his ideal is a new kind of human who will always make the 'right' decisions (as determined by Weissmann) should let you know how far off the mark he is.]]
* UnderestimatingBadassery: [[spoiler:Even after Kevin tells him he is the Fifth Dominion, he still smugly tells him he is no match. One bolt and an OhCrap moment later...]]
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: [[spoiler:Especially notable in ''FC'', which was a mostly lighthearted tale of adventure until he revealed his true colors and showed himself to be far more calculating and dangerous than anyone else in the storyline. Almost all of the CerebusSyndrome that ensues in ''SC'' [[KnightOfCerebus can be traced back to his actions.]]]]
* WeCanRuleTogether:
** [[spoiler:He tries to convince Estelle to join Ouroboros under the rationale that she can reunite with Joshua this way. Though this is a ruse because he only kidnapped her to lure Joshua out of hiding.]]
** [[spoiler:He tries this again shortly before the final battle after brainwashing Joshua again. Once Estelle shoots down his grandiose plan to "save" humanity, he tries to force Joshua to kill her, only to be OutGambitted as Joshua had anticipated this all along.]]
** [[spoiler:In Phantasma, a copy of him tries to convince Kevin to throw away his humanity to control the Stigma and be free from his grief. When Kevin refuses, the professor sics two devils, Rostrum and Astarte, on him to force him to change his mind.]]
* XanatosGambit: [[spoiler:During ''FC'', he manipulates Alan Richard into instigating a coup and directs Loewe to assist him, but otherwise stays out of the action and just observes how everything plays out under the guise of "Professor Alba." If Richard succeeds, Weissman gains a useful pawn and considerable political leverage over Liberl. If Richard fails (which he does), Weissman still unearths a path to the Aureole and can use the resources of Ouroboros to finish the job.]]

-->'''Appearances''': ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky The 3rd]]'' | ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsThroughDaybreak Daybreak]]'' | ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsThroughDaybreak Kuro II]]''

A former member of the Order of the Moonlight Horse who, alongside Sharon and Lucrezia, joined Ouroboros after it destroyed the Order. He is now the Society's Fourth Anguis, otherwise known as the "Thousand Oathbreaker."

* AscendedExtra: After being excluded from gameplay during the first ''Daybreak'' game, the sequel has him participate in battle.
* BadassFingersnap: During ''Daybreak'', he snaps his fingers to [[spoiler:summon pools of poison beneath his enemies.]]
* CigarFuseLighting: His Hazard Cigar Craft sees him toss his cigar at some purple smoke he blew towards his opponents, triggering an explosion.
* CombatPragmatist: During ''Daybreak'' Chapter 5, [[spoiler:he intends to use chemical weapons to kill all of the other teams in one fell swoop during Almata's BattleRoyale.]]
* DevilInPlainSight: All of the Anguis usually disguise themselves or don't appear in public when they are carrying their plans. He don't either [[spoiler:as a result of the pact between Gramheart and the Grandmaster]] or simply to live up to his name.
* EarlyBirdCameo: He doesn't physically appear, or even get his name revealed, until the first ''Daybreak'' game, but he does technically makes a brief cameo, via his shadow, in a [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sharon_kreuger___visual_28sen_iii29.jpg flashback sequence]] during Chapter 2 of ''Cold Steel III''.
* GratuitousEnglish: When using his S-Craft, he'll announce that "It's Showtime!"
* GreaterScopeVillain: As he admits during his and Lucrezia's formal introduction, he's the one behind the creation of Garden, combining the remnants of the Order of the Moonlight Horse with those of the [[spoiler:"D∴G Cult".]] Every negative action committed by said organization only happened because he couldn't be bothered to keep an eye on them.
* GuestStarPartyMember: [[spoiler:He serves as a non-playable ally during the "Cross-Renne," Walter, and Lucrezia fight in ''Kuro II'''s Intermission.]]
* HeroKiller: Shows off what he can really do in the Intermission chapter of ''Kuro II'' when he [[spoiler:kills off ''the entire cast'' which includes Kasim, Shizuna, Walter, and Lucrezia ''without lifting his finger'' via his nerve toxins. They only get saved due to the Genesis' power to perform Time Leaps, a power he was apparently ''counting on them using''.]]
* InsultBackfire: People often call him "the worst," a label he considers to be the highest of complements.
* ItAmusedMe: Van questions his reason for hiring the Solution's Office during Chapter 5 of ''Daybreak''. His response?
-->'''Ellroy:''' Because it'd be more fun that way.
* ItsWhatIDo: He has a name to live up to after all, so count on him to break rules whethever they are minor (like smoking in an office) or major ([[spoiler:using internationally prohibited chemical weapons]]).
* LimitBreak: ''Kuro II'' gives him Umbra Nordens as his S-Craft.
* MeaningfulName: Being called the Thousand Oathbreaker is pretty fitting for a man who take delight in breaking any rules he can.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Somebody with a nickname like Thousand Oathbreaker sounds like the least trust-worthy person you can meet, [[spoiler:though it didn't stop him from being a reliable ally during the battle against Almata.]]
* PersonOfMassDestruction: By virtue of [[spoiler:using WeaponOfMassDestruction.]]
* PhlebotinumPills: His DROP-00 Z Craft has him bite into a spherical pill, restoring some of his HP and boosting all of his stats.
* PoisonousPerson: ''Kuro II'' shows that his main method of fighting is using poison, summoning pools of it beneath the target in his regular attacks, and flinging some from his hands in his "Void Snape" Craft.
* PreFinalBoss: [[spoiler:In ''Kuro II'', he, alongside Ixs and Jolda, serve as the last bosses fought in the main story before [[FinalBoss Grendel-Zolga]].]]
* RedBaron: Aside from his "Thousand Oathbreaker" title, Renne notes that he is also in the criminal underworld as the "Maven Lawbreaker," due to the fact that any organization that he's dealt with ends up self-destructing.
* ShapingYourAttacks: His "Void Snape" Craft has him fling poison in the form of snakes.
* SmokingIsCool: Usually smokes a cigar anytime he appears.
* SuperSerum: His Demon Brute Craft has him drink a red liquid from a vile, giving him the "[[NoSell Reflect]]" buff.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: During ''Kuro II'',[[spoiler:more precisely, during his Intermission Bad End, he is confronted by what can reasonably be called a small army composed of two A-Rank Bracers, two Dominions, the number two of Iscariot, multiple jaegers including two of the strongest alive, two Enforcers, Heiyue, and Arkride Solutions Office. What is his response? [[DeadlyGas Release a chemical gas on the island.]] What is their response? Dropping dead. Despite RuleOfCool being fairly prominent in Zemuria and as mundane and anticlimactic as it may be, this IS the usual outcome to a weapon of mass destruction.]]
* TheUnfought: [[spoiler:Surprisingly enough, he doesn't fight the heroes in ''Daybreak'', going as far as to surrender his team's card after Walter and Lucrezia lose.]]
* UnseenNoMore: He was briefly mentioned during Chapter 3 of ''Azure'', where Arianrhod says that she'll "leave the rest to Oathbreaker" while she heads to Crossbell. He's also alluded to in ''Cold Steel III,'' having gone to Alteria alongside [[spoiler:Mariabell.]] ''Daybreak'' is when he officially makes his in-person appearance.
* WildCard: As the "Oathbreaker," he generally can't be trusted to follow rules or keep promises, yet he'll sometimes do those very things just to shatter the expectations associated with his title, making him extremely unpredictable. This is later PlayedForLaughs in the first ''Daybreak'' game; when Van mentions that the Solutions Office is a no-smoking zone, Ellroy retorts that he's simply living up to his name by breaking the oath of smoking in a non-smoking area.

->''"But now that we have all of our subjects--ah, my manners have escaped me yet again--all of our ''participants'' assembled, let us begin."''

Sixth Anguis of Ouroboros and leader of the Thirteen Factories, appearing in ''Azure''. Not especially popular with Enforcers due to his ForScience tendencies, but still less hated than the Faceless.

* BigWhat: [[spoiler:After Roy proposes to the Grandmaster that he and Ouroboros would not interfere with each other for at least two and a half years, this is his reaction.]]
* EarlyBirdCameo: Namedropped as early as ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky Second Chapter]]'', and had spoken lines in ''The 3rd'''s Star Door 14.
* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: [[spoiler:In ''Reverie'', his idea of a joke is to threaten Renne's parents.]]
* ForScience: His motivation for doing just about anything is to satisfy his scientific curiosity.
* {{Gonk}}: A creepy-looking man with ScaryShinyGlasses, a bowl-cut and a hunched back. His hair colour and wrinkly face make his age quite cryptic.
* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler:Accepts that he cannot reproduce Simulacrum as well as the Elysium System.]]
* MadScientist: Novartis is both clever and evil.
* NotMeThisTime: [[spoiler:He's accused by both Vita and Renne to be behind the events in ''Reverie''. He admits that he's only helping out the Elysium system but flat out tells them he's only there as an observer though Vita quips that he's involved himself a little too much.]]
* OhCrap: [[spoiler:Seeing [=McBurn=] at the Celestial Globe since the latter's fake self warned him not to tell his real self that he made a clone of him. He also expresses surprise at the new president of Calvard, Roy Gramhardt's appearance considering it's supposed to be a secret meeting place.]]
* OutOfFocus: Despite appearing in a few games, Novartis is mainly interested in his pursuit of science and even as he partakes in most of Ouroboros' plots, is more than happy to remain on the background and work on his own devices, leaving most of his character and personal history unknown.

Seventh Anguis of Ouroboros known as the "Steel Maiden". First appearing in ''Azure'', she makes a cameo appearance in ''Cold Steel I'' and later makes a full return as an antagonist in ''Cold Steel III'' and ''IV''. Due to the sheer number similarities between her and the legendary "Lance Maiden" of Erebonian history, many assume her true identity to be Lianne Sandlot herself. It's later confirmed in ''Cold Steel III'' that she [[spoiler:truly is Lianne Sandlot, having survived her historical death through mysterious means.]]

Arianrhod is the leader of the Stahlritter, a unit of loyal female knights who are not Enforcers, but rival them in power.

* TwentyFourHourArmor: She's never seen without her incredibly bulky armor on, except for certain flashbacks.
* TheAce: Easily one of the strongest fighters on Zemuria.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Averted with Dreichels himself, as her feelings were reciprocated, but circumstances prevented them from getting together. [[spoiler:Once Dreichels had reincarnated as Osborne, a part of her had hoped that this time she would have been able to get together with him. Unfortunately for her, by the time that she found him, Osborne had already fallen in love with Kasia and started a family with her that resulted in Rean. Lianne, for her part, muses that, so long as he was happy, then it was alright.]]
* AlwaysAccurateAttack: In ''Cold Steel III'', all of her regular crafts are undodgeable, which can be a rude awakening to those relying on evade tank builds.
* AntiVillain: Easily one of the least villainous members of Ouroboros.
* AmazonBrigade: The Stahlritter are Arianrhod's bodyguards ([[BodyguardingABadass not like she needs them]]) and they are exclusively female.
* {{Archenemy}}: [[spoiler: Ever since she learned about Ishmelga from Dreichels, she has made her number 1 goal to destroy him.]]
* ArmoredVillainsUnarmoredHeroes: Guess which side of the spectrum she's on.
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:''Cold Steel III'' reveals that she did die as Lianne Sandlot, but she mysteriously came back to life. It's because as an Awakener, her life is tethered to her Divine Knight.]]
* BadassBoast: In ''Cold Steel III'' she delivers one towards [=McBurn=] when he asks for a fight.
--> "I, too, shall enjoy the night breeze if you break my helm."
** She delivers another one while performing her [[LimitBreak S-Craft]].
---> "I am Steel, she who cuts through all!"
* BigDamnHeroes: In ''Cold Steel I'' she appears in time to rescue Rean's field study group in Lohengrin Castle. It's revealed retroactively in ''Cold Steel IV'' that the reason she rescued him and his group is because [[spoiler:he's the son of the reincarnation of the man who she once loved.]]
* BlueBlood: As Lianne Sandlot, she was a Countess who ruled Lohengrin Castle and Legram, which were then taken over by her retainers of the Arseid Family.
* BootstrappedLeitmotif: "Unfathomed Force," a late-game boss theme for ''Azure'', is heavily associated with her, to the point of it being reused wholesale for her boss battle in Chapter 3 of ''Cold Steel III''.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: She is able to crush a truck engine simply by throwing her spear from faraway.
* ContraltoOfStrength: In the English dub, Creator/CheramiLeigh gives her with a low voice befitting her as one of the most powerful women in all of Zemuria
* DualBoss: [[spoiler:In the final chapter of ''Cold Steel III'', you have to fight against her and '''Demon [=McBurn=]'''. Then in ''Cold Steel IV'', she ends up fighting alongside Osborne and this time, [[{{Foreshadowing}} they're ARCUS linked.]]]]
* EarlyBirdCameo: Along with the other Anguis, she made a voiced appearance in ''The 3rd''.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: She steps in to prevent a swindler from fleeing to Calvard with stolen medicals goods following Crossbell's raid by the Red Constellation because she won't stand such a distasteful behavior towards civilians. Duvalie also mentions that she would have been just as outraged as the Crimson Wings and herself had she been around to witness Duke Albarea's attack on Celdic.
* EvilKnockoff: [[spoiler:In ''Reverie'', she has a Hollow copy that serves as a boss in the True Reverie Corridor, most notably during Laura, Agate, and Roselia's Trial Door. Granted, Arianrhod spent all of her screentime on the villain's side, but she herself was never very evil.]]
* FallenHero: Once she was Lianne Sandlot, a heroic legend of Erebonian history who joined forces with Dreichels the Lionheart to put an end to the War of the Lions. Over 250 years later however, she joined Ouroboros (a terrorist organization) and becomes one of the highest ranking members of the Society in addition to being one of its two strongest fighters. [[spoiler:Subverted, however, as she joined for the sake of destroying the curse of Erebonia.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Unlike her DualBoss fight with [[spoiler:[=McBurn=] in ''Cold Steel III'', she's ARCUS linked with Osborne in ''Cold Steel IV'' despite having no known relationship with him at the time. [[spoiler:It's a sign that she trusts and loves Dreichels and his reincarnation.]]
* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler:The reason for her being an antagonist throughout the series? All done out of loyalty towards Dreichels, who in current times has now been reincarnated as Giliath Osborne. She feels responsible for not being there to aid him when he needed it most, aka the death of his wife and near death of Rean, which resulted in Osborne making a literal DealWithTheDevil. She decided to join Ouroboros as a means to an end, and later sides with Osborne himself directly, in order to help put a stop to the curse of Erebonia once and for all.]]
* GrowOldWithMe: [[spoiler:She made such a promise with Dreichels 250 years ago. However, reviving as an [[TheAgeless Immortal]] and losing the ability to bear children led her to break her promise.]]
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: One of the nicest member of Ouroboros, and has blonde hair.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoiler:After her defeat, it seems like she's going to accept Rean's offer to save her life and join the heroes' side. Then Rufus shows up...]]
* HistoryRepeats: [[spoiler:Her final fate directly parallels that of her student, Loewe.]]
* HonorBeforeReason: [[spoiler:She tells Roselia the reason why Dreichels never told Rose about the curse is because it would have been a terrible and feeble life for someone who is nearly at the end of his life and the problems of man still linger on.]]
* HumongousMecha: In ''Cold Steel III'', she appears alongside the Aion Type Alpha II. [[spoiler:Said game also reveals that she's been the Awakener of Argreion the Silver Knight since before the War of the Lions.]]
* IAmNotLeftHanded: She is so strong that she was holding back '''every time''' we see her fighting. [[spoiler:Not even Aurelia, the strongest woman in Erebonia was enough to make her fight at full power.]]
* ILetYouWin: [[spoiler:It's revealed after the fight that despite her kneeling against Rean and Crow, they both note that she threw the fight in order for Rean to absorb Argreion's essence. Subverted in that she claims to have used her full power, though [[XanatosGambit she's fine with them winning as long as they can beat Ishmelga]]. [[DidntSeeThatComing Unfortunately, she didn't expect Rufus to back stab her at her weakest moment.]]]]
* {{Immortality}} : [[spoiler:A trait common to all Awakeners as they cannot die so long as their Divine Knights remain. This is how she was able to survive her historic death.]]
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:Rufus fatally wounds her by running her through with the Gold Knight's sword.]]
* IronicName: The Arianrhod of Celtic mythology was a goddess of fertility. [[spoiler:This Arianrhod is implied to have become infertile after her resurrection.]]
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler:After finding Osborne and discovering him married with a child, she finds herself content enough that he is living an happy life.]]
* JeanneDArchetype: As Lianne Sandlot, she was an inspirational warrior and general who lead the Eisenritter to help Dreichels put an end to the War of the Lions and was canonized as a Saint after her purported death.
* JoustingLance: Her weapon of choice. [[spoiler:Even her Divine Knight has one.]]
* LadyOfWar: One of the most beautiful, graceful, and powerful women in the entire series.
* LawOfInverseFertility: [[spoiler:As it turns out, this is the reason why she left Dreichels as she was left unable to bear any children after coming back to life.]]
* {{Leitmotif}}: Unfathomable Force and Aria of the Saint.
* LightningBruiser: She's more heavily armored than the Stahlritter and wields a large lance, but she's still [[FasterThanTheyLook one of the fastest characters]], in both her boss fights and cutscenes. When she makes her first appearance in ''Azure'', she defeats the party with a flurry of lance strikes that are too strong and fast for them to defend against, and this is just her ''normal attack'' animation.
* LikeASonToMe: [[spoiler:How she views Rean after spending years looking out for him from afar, imagining him to be the son that she could have had with Dreichels. She also refers to the Stahlritter as her daughters shortly before her death.]]
* LimitBreak: Her S-Craft in both ''Azure'' and the later ''Cold Steel'' games is Grand Cross. [[spoiler:Also her finishing move when piloting Argreion.]]
* LivingLegend: As Lianne Sandlot, the Lance Maiden.
* MeaningfulName:
** Arianrhod was a goddess of Celtic/Welsh Mythology with dominion over time, fate, fertility and rebirth. All three of which symbolize reveals of her origins and true motivation. Both also were rulers of a castle of great renown and significance (Caer Arianrhod and Lohengrin Castle.) The name itself means 'Silver Wheel' in Welsh. [[spoiler:She's the Awakener of the Silver Knight, and is motivated by breaking the cycle of misfortune caused by the Curse of Erebonia.]]
** Her original name, Lianne Sandlot, is also basically a reference to [[Myth/ArthurianLegend Lancelot, one of the Knights of the Round Table and considered King Arthur's greatest knight]]. Fittingly enough, Lianne is also considered one of the Erebonian Empire's greatest warriors who also served its greatest emperor, Dreichels the Lionheart, who himself is basically a King Arthur analogue within the series. Her hometown, Legram, is also situated at a lake which coicincides with Lancelot's epithet "du Lac" which means "of the lake".
* MetallicMotifs: Lead a group of knights as Lianne and Arianrhod respectively named the Eisenritter (Iron Knights) and Stahlritter (Steel Knights), is known as The 'Steel' Maiden, [[spoiler:and pilots the Argent (Silver) Knight.]]
* MultiMeleeMaster: Implied; while she's only ever shown wielding her trademark [[JoustingLance lance]], Duvalie and Loewe owe their MasterSwordsman credentials to her tutelage, indicating she's well-versed in swordsmanship as well, possibly as a result of her long life. In Loewe's manga, Arianrhod easily defeats him with a sword and states that the next time they duel, she'll use her lance.
* MysteriousProtector: Briefly plays this role in ''Cold Steel I'' during Class VII's field study in Legram for reasons unknown. [[spoiler:''Cold Steel IV'' reveals that this was because ''Rean'' was there. It's also revealed that she had been secretly watching over him as he grew up, to the point that Osborne actually refers to her as one of Rean's mothers alongside Kasia and Lucia.]]
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler:By not telling Rose all about the curse that's stalking Dreichels, Osborne ends up making a deal with Ishmelga that nearly starts a global conflict all over the world.]]
* OldFriend: To Roselia. [[spoiler:She's the one who guided her to Argreion, her Divine Knight, a few years before the War of the Lions happened.]]
* OnlyTheWorthyMayPass: She serves as this in ''Azure'' where she tests the SSS's conviction and strength under [=KeA=]'s demands. This is under the logic that if they couldn't last long enough against her, there is no way they can take on Sigmund and [[spoiler:Arios.]]
* PaperThinDisguise: It's quite obvious she didn't even bother to try and disguise her identity as Lianne Sandlot. Everyone who's ever heard about Arianrhod are quick to assume that she has something to do with her past self.
* ParentalSubstitute: She is one for the youngest members of the society and the Stahlritter. She explicitly calls Duvalie her child in ''Cold Steel IV''.
* PoorCommunicationKills: [[spoiler:Because she never told Roselia about the curse and Ishmelga stalking Dreichels for 250 years, the issues with Erebonia continued on.]]
* RedBaron: "The Steel Maiden." And formerly, "The Lance Maiden" when she was still Lianne Sandlot.
* ReligiousBruiser: Technically, since she was canonized as a Saint for her role in the War of the Lions.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: From a chronological standpoint, she's well over 250 years old despite looking like a young woman in her early twenties.
* TheReveal: ''Cold Steel IV'' reveals the reason why she joined with Ouroboros without saying anything to Roselia for twenty years: [[spoiler:she's been looking out for Osborne ever since she found Dreichels' reincarnation. Then tragedy struck towards Osborne's life which she then takes it upon herself to help out Osborne get rid of the curse for good. Roselia did not take it well when she finds out about it.]]
* ShouldersOfDoom: She wears an armor with large and spiky pauldrons.
* SingleTargetSexuality: In all of her centuries-long life, she never loved anyone but Dreichels. [[spoiler:To the point that her feelings even extend to his reincarnation in Osborne.]]
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: [[spoiler:The only female Awakener of the seven Awakeners. She's also the oldest of them all.]]
* StarCrossedLovers: With Dreichels. Both fell in love and had sworn to live with each other after the "War of the Lions" ended, but circumstances such as her "death" prevented that from ever happening. [[spoiler:It turns out that she left him due to her inability to have children after coming back to life. She clearly regrets this however as by the time Dreichels reincarnates as Osborne she once again has a desire to be with him. Unfortunately for her she missed her chance since Osborne had already married Kasia and had a son with her (Rean) by the time Lianne finds him.]]
* StrongAndSkilled: She's one of the most physically powerful combatants and has unparalleled skill in wielding a lance. This is reflected in gameplay in ''Cold Steel III'', where her normal crafts are always accurate even against characters with high evasion.
* TakeUpMySword: [[spoiler:Or rather her name, as Lianne asks Laura to continue the tradition of having the initial letter "S." in the Arseid line as one of her last wishes before she dies.]]
* ThatManIsDead: When Laura calls her Lianne Sandlot, she describes that name as an "illusion of the past".
* TheStoic: She is a little bit short on the emotions scale.
* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler:With Dreichels[=/=]Osborne and Rutger at the end of ''Cold Steel IV''.]]
* TooPowerfulToLive: [[spoiler: She's one of the strongest characters in the series and a legendary nigh-immortal warrior who has lived for over 250 years, and every time she is fought she will either [[CurbStompBattle utterly curb-stomp]] the party, turn out to be [[IAmNotLeftHanded holding back]], or even both. And then, after her final defeat, it seems like she's actually going to pull a HeelFaceTurn...? Sadly but not surprisingly, it really is too good to be true, as she's promptly killed by Rufus. Her joining the ranks of the heroes would have ''[[StoryBreakerPower disintegrated]]'' any shred of difficulty they previously had due to her overpowered stats and Divine Knight, both in-game and meta-wise. And this is just from the implications of her surviving until the end of the ''Erebonia arc.'' If she was given a second chance like with Crow, being an Anguis would result in invaluable information on Ouroboros being revealed to the Bracer Guild and Septian Church while nullifying the threat of anyone that isn't her fellow Anguis, Mcburn and the Grandmaster.]]
* TurnsRed: In her boss fight in ''Azure'', when her HP reach a certain threshold, her mask will break and she will stop holding back. [[CurbStompBattle By the end of the fight, her mask is probably not the only thing who is broken.]]
* UndyingLoyalty: [[spoiler:To Dreichels. So much so that she even ends up developing feelings towards his reincarnation in Osborne, and later joined Ouroboros out of a sense of duty towards him.]]
* VillainForgotToLevelGrind: When she appears in ''Azure'', she is a juggernaut who deal CurbStompBattle left and right and only left the stage after the SSS passed her SecretTestOfCharacter. By the time of ''Cold Steel III'' two years later, while she still serve as a colossal roadblock, she is now matched by a few characters. [[spoiler:Justified. When you spent 250 years training, you're likely to have no more room to improve.]]
* YouCantFightFate: [[spoiler:Black Records 13 foretold that she would die in the Rivalries before the Tuatha De Danann and the Salt Pales appear, meaning Rean had no chance of saving her.]]
* YouShallNotPass: [[spoiler:She and [=McBurn=] serves as the first opponents guarding the Gral of Erebos.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Much of the white tropes come from ''Cold Steel III'' and ''IV'' revelations.
* WalkingTheEarth: [[spoiler:After her resurrection she decides to travel around outside of Erebonia for decades until Dreichels' deathbed. Afterwards she then spends the next two centuries looking for his reincarnation out of worry that the curse that haunted him would come back to do so again. It's during this time that she meets the Grandmaster, but it's not until she finds Osborne and believes him to be safe that she decides to join Ouroboros.]]
* WeaponTombstone: [[spoiler:After her death, the Stahlritter used her lance and helmet to make a grave in Crossbell.]]
* WhamShot: [[spoiler:When she summons her own Divine Knight at the Naval Fortress. Even her Stahlritter were shocked and were unaware of its existence.]]
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: [[spoiler:She says as much after she's defeated in ''Cold Steel IV''...]]
-->[[spoiler:It's been a long journey. So long...]]
* WolfpackBoss: In ''Cold Steel III'', you actually fight her and ''all 3 members of the Stahlritter at the same time'' in Chapter 3.
* WorldsBestWarrior: A contender for being the most powerful character in the series. Very few could hope to match her, with Ein Selnate and [=McBurn=] being such people. Lloyd and the SSS were lucky enough to break her helmet when they fought her. [[spoiler:Even after Aurelia Le Guin (a contender for Erebonia's strongest warrior) manages to bring Arianrhod to her knees in battle, it's revealed that she was still holding back to some extent and only fought with the strength she had when she was Lianne Sandlot.]]
* WreckedWeapon: [[spoiler:Her iconic lance finally breaks in ''Cold Steel IV'' while fighting Class VII. [[{{Foreshadowing}} Considering what happens next...]]]]
* XanatosGambit: [[spoiler:What her plans for the Third Rivalry were. If she wins, she take the power of the Ashen, Azure and Palatinate Knight for herself and is almost guaranteed to fight Ishmelga during the Final Rivalry. If she loses, she entrust her power and her life to Rean, giving him a massive boost as he has proven himself strong enough to be able to prevail against Ishmelga. Sadly, Rufus was following the match and intervene to steal the Argent Knight's power but her point still stand, as Rean prove himself able to win the other Rivalries.]]

[[folder:Enforcer No. 0 - Campanella, The Fool]]

!Campanella
!!!'''Major Arcana:'''The Fool
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/campanella_cs3.jpg]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KanaeIto (Japanese), Creator/ZachAguilar (English, games), Creator/MaggieFlecknoe (English, ''Sky'' anime)
-->'''Appearances''': ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky SC]]'' | ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky The 3rd]]'' | ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsFromZeroAndTrailsToAzure Azure]]'' | ''[[Anime/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteelNorthernWar Northern War]]'' | ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel Cold Steel III]]'' | ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel Cold Steel IV]]'' | ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsIntoReverie Reverie]]'' | ''Kai''

A young boy who comes to Liberl on behalf of the Grandmaster to observe the progress of the Gospel Plan. Enforcer No. 0 of Ouroboros, known as "The Fool".

* AmbiguousGender: While Campanella has a masculine-leaning androgynous appearance and is referred to with male pronouns in the English localization, the Japanese version uses more gender-neutral terms and pronouns and his official sources list his gender as "Male(?)" or "Unknown". This extends to his voice; his Japanese voice is more feminine, while his English voice is more masculine (albeit high-pitched).
* AmbiguouslyGay: Campanella speaks and dresses in a very flamboyant manner, jokes about swapping skin-care tips with Joshua, and even dresses up in drag when hosting one of the (non-canon) quiz events in ''The 3rd''.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: His abilities both in and out of combat, unique connection to the Grandmaster and unchanging appearance (as noted by Joshua) all seem to hint that he may not be entirely human, at least not in the same way as the rest of the Enforcers and Anguis.
* BadassFingersnap: Some magical things he does involve this; [[FingerSnapLighter Burning Gilbert]] or [[TeleportSpam teleporting]] are the most prominent example.
* BlowYouAway: His normal attack is a small [=AoE=] razor beam in ''Cold Steel III''. When fought in Chapter 3 of the same game, he can cast the strongest wind arts available.
* BreakingSpeech: Delivers one to Juna in Chapter 2 of ''Cold Steel III'', revealing the truth about what happened to the SSS to her which causes her to have a mental breakdown and fall into depression.
* TheBusCameBack: Fully comes back in ''Cold Steel III'' [[http://i.imgur.com/5QogXde.jpg without any changes to his appearance]], save for being rendered in 3D for the first time.
* ConfettiDrop: At the end of episode 2 of ''Northern War'', he has an archaism shoot at the balloons that he releases from his hand and the balloons are filled with confetti inside.
* TheCracker: He breaks into the systems of Orchis Tower, steals the floor plans and then locks down the security system during the subsequent terrorist attack. He's forced out of the system by resident PlayfulHacker Tio, with help from Jona.
* CreepyChild: He looks like he might be around thirteen at best but he's easily the creepiest of the Enforcers.
* DeadpanSnarker: One of his major character traits; he almost never stops snarking so when he does, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness it's significant.]] [[spoiler:Specifically, his demeanor ''completely'' changes and he becomes the soul of respect when speaking to the Grandmaster, even though he was snarking at all six remaining Anguis only a minute previously and goes back to snarking immediately afterwards.]]
* DragonWithAnAgenda: [[spoiler:His job is to observe the various plans Ouroboros has in motion in order to provide a firsthand account for the Grandmaster. This doesn't always go hand in hand with helping the person in charge of carrying out those plans, as Weissmann learned.]]
* EnigmaticMinion: [[spoiler:To Weissmann. He's more of a straight [[TheDragon Dragon]] to the Grandmaster.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Campanella might not be the nicest character in the series, but in ''Cold Steel III'', even he thinks that [[spoiler:blowing up the Courageous with Olivert, Toval, and Victor inside the ship]] was a bit too much.
* EverythingsBetterWithRainbows: He has a new attack in ''Cold Steel III'' called Seven Spheres where he uses seven balls of varying colors to units in an area for seven random strikes.
* EvilKnockoff: [[spoiler:Played with in ''Reverie''; he has a Hollow copy that serves as a boss in the True Reverie Corridor, most notably during Joshua and Duvalie's Trial Door. Campanella himself, however, has been a villain since day one.]]
* ForcedTransformation: He can use True Mirror to transform a character into a strange creature for several turns, limiting their abilities.
* IdiotHair: Has two of these. Despite this, he's far less of an idiot and more of mischievous.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: On several occasions, Campanella will talk as though he knows he has an audience even when nobody else is present. On one occasion, he addresses the player directly, telling them to stop watching him.
* LemonyNarrator: He serves as the narrator for the Ouroboros Report drama CD and as per usual, he [[FirstPersonSmartass snarks his way through the entire thing]] when he's not LeaningOnTheFourthWall. [[spoiler:Except for when he's speaking to the Grandmaster]]
* LimitBreak: In ''Azure'', his S-Craft is False Salt Pale.
* KickTheDog: His BreakingSpeech to Juna in Chapter 2 of ''Cold Steel III'', where he reveals the truth about the birdcage operation and what happened to the SSS while she starts to visibly break down. Most of his mind games contribute to Ouroboros's plans to some extent, but in this case, he has no real reason to reveal this information to Juna other than to screw with her.
* ManipulativeBastard: He orchestrated the terrorist attack on Orchis Tower [[spoiler:then "forgot" to mention to the terrorist groups that ''his'' plan called for them to be captured or killed by some of his other catspaws shortly after they escaped.]]
* MasterOfIllusion: He can create large-scale illusions, an ability he uses to screw with the SSS in Azure on multiple occasions. Also, it's stated that most of the flames he creates are illusory.
* MidairBobbing: It's reeeeeally subtle but you can see him bobbing in Azure's battle sprite.
* MirthToPower: He is the least restrained member of Ouroboros and will tell other members of the Society ''exactly'' what he thinks of them. [[spoiler:Except for the Grandmaster]].
* MouthOfSauron: Generally fulfills this role for the Grandmaster; it appears that only he and the Anguis speak to the Grandmaster directly and even then Campanella is frequently tasked with delivering the Grandmaster's orders and observing the operations of the Anguis and Enforcers.
* MyRulesAreNotYourRules: His bag of tricks includes infinite Arts Reflection until you knock his HP down to 50% and the ability to redirect your S-Crafts from himself to your allies.
* OlderThanTheyLook: According to Joshua, Campanella's appearance has remained unchanged since the last time the two saw each other. Campanella jokingly answers he "never miss skin care even one day".
* PetTheDog: [[spoiler:Ends up paying respects to Arianrhod's death alongside Bleublanc, Vita, Joshua, and Renne.]]
* PlayingWithFire: Although his flames are illusory, the pain is very real.
* PowerFloats: He starts to float whenever he's getting ready to directly fight.
* RedBaron: Campanella the Fool.
* TarotMotifs: The most obvious one.
* TeleportSpam: When fought in Azure, he spends as much time teleporting himself around the arena (or teleporting your party around randomly to mess with your formation or you when casting a line AOE art) as he does actually attacking you.
* {{Troll}}: Seemingly loves to get under people's skin and almost never acts in a serious manner.
* TheUnfought: The only agent of Ouroboros we meet in the ''Sky'' trilogy who never fights directly. Averted in ''Trails to Azure'' and ''Cold Steel III'' when Lloyd and co (and Rean and co in Cold Steel) fight him.
* VagueAge: His age is officially listed as "unknown," and in ''SC'', Joshua comments that he hasn't appeared to age a day in the ten years since he last saw him, despite looking like a young boy who really should be visibly older.
* VillainOfAnotherStory: Spent the entirety of ''FC'' causing problems off-camera so that Cassius would be too busy to interfere with Ouroboros' plans in Liberl.
* VillainTeleportation: Frequently makes use of this when escaping the heroes.

Enforcer No. I, known as Almighty Conflagration, appearing in ''Cold Steel II'' as one of Enforcers supporting the Phantasmal Blaze Project. He has some connection to the power sleeping within Rean...
----
* ActuallyADoombot: [[spoiler:The [=McBurn=] fought in Chapter 3 of Lloyd's Route in ''Reverie'' was actually a robotic copy. The copy was not aware of this at all, and even mockingly warned Novartis to make sure that the real deal doesn't find out.]]
* AntiVillain: Really, the only reason why he could even be called a "villain" is because he's working for Ouroboros. Otherwise, his only goal is to have a good fight with someone who can take all of his power. He doesn't even start fights on towns as he knows he could easily burn things. Nor does he fight anybody who is significantly weaker than him unless they attempt to and even then, he holds back for them. [[spoiler:When he finally remembers his true self and mission, he immediately stops fighting Class VII, apologizes for the trouble he caused, gives Rean and Valimar a gift and then teleports away from the place to take care of the problems that he needs to deal with.]]
* BadassLongcoat: A red-orange one that goes with his moniker.
* BaritoneOfStrength: One of the strongest characters in the series, with a deep voice to match in the [[Creator/JunichiSuwabe Japanese version.]] His [[Creator/MaxMittelman first English VA]] also uses a lower than usual tone of voice, though not as much. And then there's his true form, which has an artificially deepened voice.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Sure, he acts lazy, doesn't seem to care about anything going on around him and leaves his allies to fight on their own because it looks like a boring battle but when he gets serious, he reveals why he's considered competition for Arianrhod's place as the strongest fighter in Ouroboros.
* BerserkButton:
** Do NOT hold back on his account as he will try killing you just to make you go all out. Rean finds this out the hard way and was only saved by Sharon who takes the hit.
** He also does not like it when someone interferes with his fights. When Alberich sent a [[HumongousMecha Leviathan]] to interrupt his battle with Class VII in the Orchis Tower's Thaumatrgical sector in ''Cold Steel IV'' when he was getting excited, he angrily proceeds to try and burn the Leviathan to a crisp, failing only due to it's AntiMagic armor.
* {{BFS}}: He has one called of Demonic Sword Angbar which he claims to be paired with Kernviter, a sword [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky Loewe]] used.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Get along well with Crow, probably as the two of them are slackers and Crow is strong enough to interest him.
* BlackEyesOfCrazy: When he reveals his real power, his eyes turn black with red and gold irises.
* BlackMage: Fights almost exclusively with his flames or a few powerful arts. He does have a CoolSword but never used it in any of his boss fights before ''Cold Steel IV''.
* BloodKnight: The only times he ever breaks away from his usually lazy demeanor is when he's found an interesting opponent, at which the point the trouble then lies in getting him to ''stop''. However, [=McBurn=] himself denies being solely interested in fighting and claims that Walter and Shirley are far worse than him.
* BrilliantButLazy: Is every bit as powerful and dangerous as his rank and title implies, but usually too tired, bored, and apathetic towards everything around him unless he thinks he's found a WorthyOpponent.
* CombatCompliment: If his opponents manage to withstand his initial barrage, he compliments them and then tries harder.
* CoolShades: Wears a pair of yellow sunglasses most of the time. [[TheGlassesComeOff He loses them]] after his fight with Class VII before going all out. He does retain them in ''Cold Steel III'' though. [[spoiler:In ''Reverie'', completing the True Reverie Corridor mission that contains him, Machias, and Emma has Machias complimenting [=McBurn's=] shades and wonders what type of brand it is.]]
* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: Because he was so strong, nothing can really challenge him and longs for someone who can actually make him serious. [[spoiler:In his final battle against Class VII in ''Cold Steel IV'', he finally remembers who and what he is, immediately stops fighting and goes back to his human form. He then apologizes to Class VII for the trouble he caused, gives Rean and Valimar a divine flame and teleports out of there, [[SequelHook taking care of the mess that he needs to clean up.]]]]
* DubNameChange: His S-Craft's name was changed from Zillion Hazard in Japanese to Incandescent Hellfire in the English dub.
* DuelBoss: [[spoiler:In ''Reverie'', his Trial Chest has him fight against his demon form.]]
* ElementalHairColors: His hair turns gold with vibrant red streaks in his SuperMode, fitting his elements of Fire and Space.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Antagonistic as he is being a member of Ouroboros, when meeting Class VII in Crossbell in ''Cold Steel III'' and hearing them complain about his BloodKnight tendencies, he claims [[ArrogantKungFuGuy Walter]] and [[CuteAndPsycho Shirley]] are even worse than him. [[spoiler:He's also not thrilled with how Courageous is suddenly blown up during the finale.]]
* EvilKnockoff: [[spoiler:In ''Reverie'', a copy of his Demon God form serves as a boss in the True Reverie Corridor, both on the fifth floor and in [=McBurn=]'s Trial Door. Granted, [=McBurn=] has been on the villains' side since his introduction, even if he's not all that evil and is fully capable of getting along with the heroes.]]
* FashionableAsymmetry: His left sleeve is rolled up while some string is wrapped around his forearm, while similar strings are wrapped along the length of his fully sleeved right arm. A long strand of hair also comes down the left side of his face and lands over his left collar bone.
* [[{{Fireballs}} Fireball]]: Releases a huge one in his S-Craft Incandescent Blaze.
* FunWithAcronyms: [[spoiler:[=McBurn=] is not his real name but an acronym to his real name.]]
* FusionDance: [[spoiler:It's revealed in ''Cold Steel IV'' that he remembers the part where his human self from Zemuria mixed with his form from outside of Zemuria which is why he refers to his mixed self as "All of me."]]
* HamToHamCombat: With Victor when the two finally duke it out during the Finale of ''Cold Steel II''.
* HiddenDepths: He clearly possesses a working knowledge of things that only a few characters in-universe (and no players as of ''Cold Steel II'') understand, even though the knowledge doesn't directly serve his obvious interests of [[BloodKnight fighting, fighting and more fighting]].
* HypocriticalHumor: Claims to not be a fan of one-liner speeches, yet when he finally is able to go all out, he goes all ham against Victor.
* IdentityAmnesia: [[spoiler:He's been amnesiac on Zemuria for decades before Valimar with Millium as the Sword of the End cuts through his barrier. Once Rean manages to cut him with it, he finally remembers who he is and immediately stops fighting against Class VII.]]
* ImprobableWeaponUser: His weapon ''is'' fire.
* ItWasAGift: WordOfGod claims that Angbar was something that he received from the Grandmaster. And in ''Cold Steel IV'', [[spoiler:he gives Rean and Valimar a divine flame before he leaves. In-game, it fully restores HP, EP, CP, Brave Points, and removes negative status effects and debuffs for the final Divine Knight battle against Osborne.]]
* LastChanceHitPoint: [[spoiler:In his final fight in ''Cold Steel IV'', any damage inflicted on him that will reduce his HP to zero will be reduced to one instead and after that, he erects a barrier that prevents any kind of damage dealt by anything. This can be pierced however by having Rean deal the killing blow by summoning Valimar and hitting him with Millium as the sword.]]
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[spoiler:He gets "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tnu-mwwTE1c The Enforcers Super Arranged Version]]" from the ''Sky'' series as his theme song when he reveals his true demon form.]]
* LetsFightLikeGentlemen: He might be a BloodKnight, but he never does any surprise attacks nor does he continue to fight the other side when they're not at their best. Best shown in ''Cold Steel III'' where after the Courageous blows up and Laura is hit with a HeroicBSOD, [=McBurn=] puts away Angbar and regresses to his old self then starts musing that he wanted to fight Victor again with respect.
* LightningBruiser: He zigzags between this and MightyGlacier in ''Reverie'' [[spoiler:as a playable character. He's in the top 4 for every stat except for for SPD, which he's slightly below average for. However, his Blazing Demon mode includes a SPD buff to compensate]].
* LimitBreak: His S-Craft is Incandescent Hellfire[[note]]Zillion Hazard[[/note]]
* MagicKnight: He mostly fights with his flames, but when he first brought out Angbar, he was capable of going blow for blow against [[MasterSwordsman Victor S. Arseid]] in a sword fight and was hinted to have also been a match for Loewe while he was alive as well.
* MarkOfTheBeast: When he releases his full power, his hair and eyes change color and tattoos appear all over his body. While exactly ''what'' is happening is unclear, both he and Rean remark that their power is something from 'outside' manifesting through them. While it's hard to tell with Mcburn, in Rean's case the transformation definitely acts like a SuperpoweredEvilSide at first.
* MasterOfAll: [[spoiler:As a player character he has incredibly high stats in all categories except SPD, very powerful Crafts and comes equipped with good gear with his only real trade-off is that most of his most powerful skills (his self-buff and his Brave Order) have incredibly high costs. Understandably he's a DLC character (or Post-game character in the localization)]].
* MeaningfulName:
** A character with "burn" on his name using fire as a weapon? What are the odds?
** In another sense, his name is also an [[FunWithAcronyms acronym]] of [[spoiler: his real name: '''M'''era '''C'''u '''B'''ald'''u'''gh '''R'''ua'''n'''g]]
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: When your RedBaron happens to be the "Almighty Conflagration" and you start throwing fire at everything, you would be afraid too.
* NobleDemon: He might be an enemy, but he's at least civilized about it. He doesn't even start fights on towns and leaves the vicinity quickly if the other side doesn't have anyone worth his time. [[spoiler:Then his real personality comes out in ''Cold Steel IV'' and he's not amused that he was being used by Campanella and Ouroboros. He immediately stops the fight with Class VII and apologizes for the trouble that he caused then gives Rean a Divine Flame to help fight against Osborne's Ishmelga.]]
* NoSell: Casting fire on him is useless as he's immune to it and fire is his main weapon anyway. [[spoiler:His final battle in ''Cold Steel IV'' has him [[LastChanceHitPoint survive any lethal attacks with 1 HP left]] and then putting up a barrier that negates all attacks. Fortunately, the game prompts players to summon Valimar after a few turns where Millium comments that she could do something about it. As a playable character in ''Reverie'', his Blazing Demon form makes him immune to all ailments, including All-Cancel]].
* NoShirtLongJacket: Downplayed - he does have a shirt, but it doesn't cover much of his chest.
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: [=McBurn=] shows virtually zero interest in Ouroboros' plans and only goes along with them if it promises a strong opponent for him to fight. Otherwise, he usually leaves his comrades behind to do his own thing. [[spoiler:When Class VII defeats him and he regains his memories, he finally remembers his true mission and goes back to persuing it, with implications that he's done with Ouroboros as a whole]].
* OlderThanTheyLook: He is revealed in Cold Steel IV to be over 50 years old. [[spoiler:His human form that is. His true form might be far older.]]
* OneHandedZweihander: Wields Angbar one-handed in the rare moments he uses it.
* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:When he finally gets serious, he transforms into a gigantic, demonic being.]]
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Normally he doesn't even bother reprimanding anyone or just doesn't care what people say for the most part but if players bring Emma to fight him at the Infernal Castle, she starts suspecting about his powers till he tells her to stop finishing that explanation although he does tell her that she's right.
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: [[spoiler: His true identity is that of Mera Cu Baldugh Ruang, a 'Demon Lord' that very explicitly came outside of the plane of Zemuria as a whole, though whether he's related to the demons of Gehenna is yet to be seen.]]
* PersonOfMassDestruction: When he goes all out after his boss fight in the second game he starts tossing huge balls of fire all over the place. Revisiting the area afterwards shows the entire stratum wrecked. After his boss fight at the end of the Crossbell Chapter in Cold Steel III, he effortlessly melts an [[HumongousMecha Aion]] into a pile of slag. Then in his final fight [[spoiler: when finally going all out in his True Form he's compared to a Calamity on par with the Salt Pale which wiped out North Ambria.]]
* PlayingWithFire: Considering his choice in weaponry, this trope automatically applies. How hot are his flames? Enough to ''melt an [[HumongousMecha Aion Type-β]]''
** HavingABlast: A secondary effect of his power over flame.
* PowerDyesYourHair: When revealing his full power, his hair turns blond.
* PowerEchoes: His voice gains an echo when he speaks while in his GoldenSuperMode.
* PowerOfTheSun: He can cast the [[LostTechnology Lost Art]] Sol Eruption. It actually does ''more'' damage than his [[LimitBreak S-Craft]]... which [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill is already essentially a one-hit kill]]. And it [[UnblockableAttack bypasses Arts Reflection]].
* PromotedToPlayable: [[spoiler:He's a playable DLC character in ''Reverie''.]]
* PungeonMaster: He frequently makes puns referring to fire, heat, or getting warmed up whenever he gets excited.
--> '''[=McBurn=]''': (about to activate his SuperMode) Time to turn up the heat!
* PurposefullyOverpowered: [[spoiler:When he finally becomes playable in ''Reverie'', he is definitely this compared to the other characters in the game thanks to a 5S+ attack rating on his S-Craft that can be upgraded up to ''6S'' rating when he uses his SuperMode (5S and 5S+ pre-trial door), the only such rating in the game other than the most powerful Lost Art in the game. He is ranked S in ''all four unbalance types'', making him able to reliably unbalance any enemy. He also has a Brave Order that costs a whopping ''8 Brave Points'' that increases critical hit rate by a 100% ''and'' restores 100 CP. His orbment setup surprisingly is only one line with two fire and one space element slot restrictions, meaning he can also be a decent art caster. His equipment is already maxed out so players don't even have to invest anything to him other than farming materials to make his exclusive accessory. And finally, said SuperMode costs a whopping ''200 CP'' but gives him back 100 CP, increases his stats by a certain amount and his overall HP by at least '''30,000''' while fully healing him, upgrades his craft and S-Craft rating, and has immunity to everything just like Rean's Spirit Unification. The only downside is that outside of a single craft, all of his attacks are magical, making him (a bit) less useful against enemies with Arts or Perfect Reflect. He's only unfortunately available at the higher levels of the True Reverie Corridor and after the October 1st patch. Said dungeon also has implemented the Abyss difficulty along with the +100 enemy levels option during the October 1st patch, so his ridiculous stats and arsenal is justified]].
* RankScalesWithAsskicking: An Enforcer's number doesn't always correlate to their strength. He's unique in that he's stated to hold the title No.1 while also being the strongest of them all and a possible match for Arianrhod for the strongest in the entire Society. [[spoiler:Played staight when the Grandmaster in ''Cold Steel IV'' reveals that he was once a king.]]
* RecurringBoss: He's fought as a boss nine times throughout his appearances [[spoiler:(eleven if counting his Simulacrum form and his copy from the True Reverie Corridor.)]]:
** In ''Cold Steel II'', he first fights Class VII [[DualBoss along with Duvalie]] at Aurochs Canyon then again by himself with a few Archaisms near the end at the Infernal Castle.
** In ''Cold Steel III'' he faces Rean and the New Class VII in Chapter 2 at Orchis Tower, then the next day has two consecutive fights at the stop of Stargazer Tower, first as a DualBoss with Campanella then alone in his SuperMode. He then faces them near the end as a DualBoss with Arianrhod at the Graal of Erebos.
** In ''Cold Steel IV'' he faces [[spoiler:Rean, Celine, Crow and Duvalie when they're trying to escape from the Black Workshop]], then has a DualBoss fight along with [[spoiler:a brainwashed Victor at Orchis Tower's Thaumatrgical sector]] and then acts as the PreFinalBoss at the Empyreaal Fortress [[spoiler:where he reveals his true form.]]
* ReallyRoyaltyReveal: [[spoiler:The Grandmaster reveals that [=McBurn=] is a king from a different dimension.]]
* RedBaron: The Almighty Conflagration. In his SuperMode, he's known as The Blazing Demon.
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:He's actually not from Zemuria but from a different world and was called to Zemuria.]]
* SatanIsGood: [[spoiler:His true demon form is definitely devilish but when he regains his true memories, he's actually a really chill dude.]]
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:After regaining his memories in ''Cold Steel IV'', he throws the fight and decides to leave Ouroboros after finally remembering his real mission. He gives Rean and Valimar a gift before he departs.]]
* ShipperOnDeck: PlayedForLaughs in ''Cold Steel III'' where he believes that Duvalie's type of men is "[[ChickMagnet that Ashen kid.]]"
* StatusBuffDispel: Three of his moves cancel any buffs, which also means they're [[UnblockableAttack unblockable]].
* StoppedCaring: Inverted. As he reveals to the Grandmaster during TheStinger of ''Reverie'', [=McBurn=] states that despite his original apathy, he actually got attached to Zemuria.
* ThoughtControlledPower: He explains his ability to manipulate flames as being this. If present for the final battle with him in ''Cold Steel II'', Emma suspects that it is connected in some way to [[ContinuityNod Divergent Laws]].
* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:He's not amused that Campanella and Ouroboros were using him after he regains his memories.]]
* VillainRespect: If his opponent manages to make him fight at his fullest, he will give them compliments. He then raises the stakes a lot more.
* VillainousFriendship: Used to have one with Loewe. Nowadays, he strikes one with Crow.
* WalkingSpoiler: He becomes this in ''Cold Steel IV'' due to the revelations surrounding him [[spoiler:not being from Zemuria but from a different world. Or rather, there are other worlds that exist in the series.]]
* WhamLine: His response when asked about where his power is concentrated: ''All of me''. For comparison, [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Rean's power]] is centered around his chest. [[spoiler:The real reason for why he says that all of him is mixed is that according to him from what he can remember, his form from the different world where he came from had merged with his human form from Western Zemuria during the time of the Orbal Revolution.]]
** Unusually for the trope, Rean is the one who delivers this trope as TheReveal for him in ''Cold Steel IV'': [[spoiler:the revelation that [=McBurn=] is not from Zemuria but from a different world.]]
* WhenHeSmiles: [[spoiler:In ''Cold Steel IV'', he flashes one of his most genuine smiles after he regains his memories and congratulates Class VII for holding out against his true form.]]
* WillfullyWeak: Even in his base form, he's already powerful enough by himself and only those who could actually make him ''slightly'' serious are allowed to face off against his GoldenSuperMode. [[spoiler:And even that's not his true and final form, which he only uses as an enemy]].
* WorthyOpponent: He thinks of Loewe as one and mentions that since he died he's been unsatisfied with the lack of challenge. While he does think of Class VII as this considering they made him use his SuperMode, at the end of ''Cold Steel II'' he finds one in Victor. In an interview in ''Cold Steel III'', WordOfGod states that [=McBurn=] felt dissatisfied with Victor and he claims that Rean might be able to surpass him. In-game however, after the Courageous blows up, [=McBurn=] calls the fight off against Laura, Emma, and Gaius and regresses back to his regular self and claims that he really would want another bout with Victor. And at the climax of ''Cold Steel III'', he believes that Osborne could actually do it. [[spoiler:In ''Cold Steel IV'', despite Class VII clearly being out of their league against him, he praises Class VII for actually managing to hold on against his true form.]]

-->'''Appearances''': ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky FC]]'' | ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky SC]]'' | ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky The 3rd]]'' (Replica)

A mysterious young man wearing [[CoolMask a mask]] who was a member of the Liberl Intelligence Division. He's actually Enforcer No. II of Ouroboros, known as the "Bladelord" and an old acquaintance of Joshua, being a survivor of Hamel.
----
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: His sword Kernviter.
* ActuallyADoombot: As revealed after his final fight in ''FC'' on top of Grancel Castle, the Loewe the party faced (and badly lost to) was a double created by using Body Split.
* AffectionateNickname: [[spoiler:Rather than call him Loewe like everyone else, Vita refers to him as "Leon."]]
* AloofOlderBrother: [[spoiler:To Joshua. The two would've likely become brother-in-laws had Karin not died.]]
* AllThereInTheManual: The Loewe Monogatari manga published in Falcom's own magazine focuses on him, starting shortly before he joined Ouroboros and covering the events of the series from his perspective.
* AlmightyJanitor: He might be an Enforcer, but he's stronger than some of the Anguis, including Weissmann.
* AnimalMotifs: Lions, obviously. Olivier even takes the time to remark on Loewe's name.
* ArmorPiercingAttack: Because Kernviter is a weapon forged by the Divergent Laws, it is able to harm Divine Beasts and [[spoiler:shatter the Aureole's barrier.]]
* ArtifactOfDoom: [[spoiler:Kernviter's incredible power comes at a price: it makes its wielder more aggressive and can significantly alter the personality, eventually transforming its user into a figurative (if not literal) monster.]]
* AntiVillain: Despite being an Ouroboros Enforcer and an actor to their nefarious plans, Loewe is mostly a good person if fairly cynical and jaded by life.
* TheApocalypseBringsOutTheBestInPeople: He wants to unleash the Aureole to see if people can stop being complacent and forget tragedies when convenient to them. In a way, [[VillainHasAPoint he got his wish]], since many people such as Duke Dunan, the Ravens, and the Fishing Guild turned out to be surprisingly useful during the country-wide Orbal Shutdown Phenomenon.
* BadassBoast: [[spoiler:Following his boss fight ([[ThatOneBoss which is considered one of the hardest fights in the game]]), [[TheBattleDidntCount he just gets up and prepare to face the party again]], while telling them they have no chance of winning]]
--> '''Loewe''': [[spoiler:Only those who have attained enlightenment can hope to match one such as myself. The trial is over. Now comes the execution.]]
* BadassLongcoat: Wears a gray longcoat with a HighCollarOfDoom, and is the strongest character in the ''Sky'' series behind Cassius.
* BigBrotherMentor: To Joshua in their youth, and to Renne after becoming an Enforcer.
* BootstrappedLeitmotif: "Silver Will" was just late-game boss music for ''FC'', but ''SC'' effectively turned it into his theme.
* BoringButPractical: Despite being the Bladelord, he's lacking in variety when it comes to Crafts, since he only uses Zero Storm, Body Split, and his two S-Crafts. However, his Body Split craft is more than enough to pin down an unprepared party with extremely powerful normal attacks and Zero Storm has a huge AOE for an impede craft. Not to mention that being one of the few MagicKnight bosses in the game somewhat makes up for his lack of craft variety.
* BreakoutCharacter: Although a very important character to begin with, he proved popular enough that Falcom gave him his own prequel manga [[spoiler:and has kind of sort of brought him BackFromTheDead on multiple occasions]].
* BrokenAce: Handsome, intelligent and powerful. Also completely broken as a result of the Tragedy of Hamel.
* BrutalHonesty: Probably the biggest example in the Trails series. He often has harsh but true words for the party, like when he criticizes Kloe for not fully understanding Liberl's political situation, Agate for being blinded by rage and grief, and Kevin for trying to deny his past.
* CharClone: Let's see: A man with blond-ish hair wearing a mask? Check. Extraordinarily good at combat? Check. Is an WellIntentionedExtremist and an EnigmaticMinion to the BigBad? Check. And he also has a past with Joshua, who's one of the main characters.
* ClimaxBoss: [[spoiler:In ''SC'', he is the last Enforcer you fight in the Axis Tower before dealing with Weissmann.]]
* CoolMask: Worn as part of his 'Lorence' disguise.
%% * CoolSword: Kernviter
* CynicismCatalyst: The Tragedy of Hamel, along with Karin's death were this to him.
* DespairEventHorizon: Crossed this a long time ago after Hamel.
* DragonRider: [[spoiler:He briefly rides Ragnard in ''SC'' when the Ancient Dragon is being controlled by one of the Gospel devices and consciously tries to minimize the damage caused as he gathers the data Weissmann needs.]]
* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:Weissmann thought he had already won when he fused with the Aureole and used its Space power to protect himself from any harm. He forgot that he backstabbed one of the few people with a [[ArmorPiercingAttack Divergent Weapon]] in the world five minutes earlier and sure enough, it sets the stage for his defeat.]]
* DoppelGangerAttack: He creates many, many clones that can attack you (or summon another clone) and don't disappear until you defeat all of them normally or you defeat the real one.
* DualBoss: [[spoiler:A copy of him forms a tag-team with a copy of Cassius in ''The 3rd'''s Nightmare Arena.]]
* DubPronunciationChange: Two of his names get these in the ''Cold Steel'' games.
** His real name Leonhardt was pronounced lay-on-heart in the Japanese script but len-heart in the dub.
** His nickname Loewe is supposed to be the German word ''Löwe'', pronounced lö-vuh, but since neither Japanese nor English has the ö sound, both scripts take different approaches to substituting for it. The Japanese script pronounced his name lay-veh, while the English dub goes with loo-vay.
* EmotionSuppression: His aloof attitude is entirely a conscious choice on his part [[spoiler:in order to suppress the [[PowerAtAPrice dangerous side-effects]] of his sword.]]
* EurekaMoment: He had one off-screen regarding [[spoiler:Weissmann's involvment with]] Hamel, as he realized that [[spoiler:the few remaining interrogations he had regarding Hamel's masterminds could be answered quite nicely with the manipulations Weissmann would use and the fact that it would really be in-character for him.]]
* TheFettered: His combination of a code of chivalry and his emotional repression mean that he isn't nearly as powerful as he ''could'' be. The flip-side is that this makes him a much better person.
* FreudianExcuse: His hometown of Hamel was wiped out, resulting in the death of everyone he knew including his fiancee Karin with the only other survivor being his surrogate little brother who ended up a traumatized EmptyShell. Then he learned it was actually his home country's government that ordered his home's destruction as part of a FalseFlagOperation, who then swept the whole thing under the rug. All of this completely shattered his faith in humanity and resulted in him seeking out Aureole to see if they still had worth.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Started off as just some guy from some minor rural village dreaming to become a Bracer. After the Tragedy of Hamel, he joined Ouroboros and became one of their strongest members, who would eventually help bring Liberl to its knees.
* GoOutWithASmile: Dies at the end of the game with a smile on his face, finally figuring out what Karin felt like when she died.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoiler:Shortly after deciding to help Joshua take down Ouroboros, he gets injured by Weissmann. Shortly after that he is fatally wounded while helping the party fight the Aureole-empowered Angel Weissmann. He manages to go out in ''style''.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Even though he's still injured from Weissmann's earlier attack, he shows up in time to break Weissmann's barrier, though he's hit by a fatal point blank attack.]]
* HeterosexualLifePartners: He used to have this relation with [=McBurn=].
* HopeSpot: [[spoiler:After his HeelFaceTurn, he considers reigniting his dream of becoming a bracer, only to sacrifice himself to stop Weissmann.]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: [[spoiler:Joshua points out that Loewe denies that Karin's sacrifice counts as an example of humanity's worth. Realizing this cause Loewe to have a minor VillainousBreakdown and then a HeelFaceTurn.]]
* IAmNotLeftHanded: He's the first of many bosses in the series to go easy on the party during the in-game battle, only to reveal his true strength during the next cutscene.
* IHaveManyNames: His real name is Leonhardt, he usually goes by Loewe, he spent all of ''FC'' using the alias Lorence Belgar, and he also goes by his RedBaron title the Bladelord.
* ILetYouWin: [[spoiler:Late in ''SC'', it's heavily implied he lost his final showdown with Joshua on purpose after being called out by Joshua's PatrickStewartSpeech.]]
* ItsPersonal: Double subverted. [[spoiler:When he learn about Weissmann's involvement in Hamel, the professor expected him ([[KickTheDog and was hoping]]) for a display of anger from [[TheStoic him]]. Loewe disclaim that notion by stating he isn't going to attack him with hatred, but clarify that he is going to take revenge for Weissmann attacking him InTheBack earlier because he view it as an personal insult.]]
* ItWasAGift: [[spoiler:How Loewe acquired Kernviter in the first place; it was a gift from the Grandmaster.]]
** Expanded upon in Loewe Monogatari. [[spoiler:After breaking the first sword he was using (an ordinary saber) Arianrhod actually makes the offer, knowing about the blade. The two then approach the Grandmaster together and Loewe is granted the sword after he accepts the consequences of using it]]
* LightIsNotGood: Silver hair, wears a grey coat, and wields a golden sword. Also one of the most dangerous members of the Society. That said, he's actually one of the more sympathetic members of the Society.
* LightningBruiser: In ''SC'', all of his stats are very high compared to all the other bosses, especially his STR and SPD.
* LimitBreak: In all 3 ''Sky'' games, he has the S-Craft Demon Flames. The latter 2 games also give him Sword of Abaddon.
* LiterallyShatteredLives: Dead Emperor Sword involves Loewe freezing the entire battlefield, then shattering the ice (and [[InterfaceScrew screen]]).
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: As revealed during ''Cold Steel IV'',[[spoiler:the Hamel Tragedy was strongly influenced by [[HatePlague the Curse of Erebonia]] and [[GreaterScopeVillain Ishmelga]], giving it a more surnatural origin rather than merely being linked to the greed of a few Erebonian WarHawk, as Loewe thought.]]
* TheLostLenore: [[spoiler:Joshua's sister, Karin was this, and her death in the [[DoomedHometown Hamel Incident]] is the [[StartOfDarkness cornerstone of his motivations.]]]]
* MagicKnight: He's known for being the Bladelord, but he's also a powerful arts user who covers attack, healing, and support. The magic part is emphasized during the battle on the balcony, where he'll spam healing and support arts to win in a battle of attrition.
* MasterSwordsman: It's right there in his Enforcer title. According to WordOfGod, he's the strongest fighter in the ''Sky'' trilogy in terms of battle prowess. In ''Azure'', we get to meet his former master Arianrhod. She's considerably stronger, but she states that he would've been capable of surpassing her in time. And in the ''Cold Steel'' series, [=McBurn=] really liked fighting him and felt empty after he died as he couldn't find anyone else to fight against in his full power. All the more impressive since his sword skills were completely self-taught, whereas other examples in the series are either practitioners of a FantasticFightingStyle (Mueller), taught by a legendary swordsman (Colonel Alan), or both (Cassius).
* TheMourningAfter: [[spoiler:Following [[TheLostLenore Karin]]'s death, he never show interest in another woman, despite [[MsFanservice Vita]]'s teasings.]]
* MoralityPet: Joshua [[spoiler:and Renne]] are both this for him and he tries to watch out for both of them.
* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: As revealed in ''the 3rd'', [[spoiler:one of his regrets with dying in the Liber Ark is having never been able to say farewell to Renne, who was absent from the scene. He is given the chance by Phantasma to give her a proper farewell, allowing her to have some closure.]]
* NobleDemon: One of the most sympathetic and honorable members of the Society.
* NobleTopEnforcer: Literally, as it turns out. He's by far the nicest active member of the Society and so much more virtuous than [[SmugSnake his]] [[BigBad boss]] Weissmann that it's not even funny. [[spoiler:He pulls a HeelFaceTurn at the end after Joshua provides him the answer he joined Ouroboros to find.]]
* NotSoStoic: [[spoiler:When Joshua asks him why he doesn't consider Karin's bravery during Hamel to be worthy of answering his trial, Loewe loses his composure.]]
* NotWorthKilling: As shown in Renne's Door during the 3rd, he advised Renne to not even bother killing her parents, thinking that they replaced her. It turns out to be a good call, as both Loewe and Renne would have acted on incomplete information.
* OddlyShapedSword: Kernviter.
** [[spoiler:His Phantasma counterpart also uses an oddly shaped sword, although there's nothing explicitly special about it.]]
* OnceMoreWithClarity: [[spoiler:At the end of ''Sky FC'', Joshua gave a cryptic account of his past shortly before abandoning Estelle, mentioning that a traumatic event had nearly destroyed him, but not elaborating. In ''SC'', Loewe is the one who gives Estelle a complete account of the Hamel incident that permanently scarred both Joshua and himself, allowing her to finally understand Joshua's motivations.]]
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: You can count the number of people who call him Leonhardt on one hand. Pretty much everybody calls him by his nickname, Loewe.
* OnlyOneName: No official last name given besides the one from his Lorence Belgar alias.
* {{PrettyBoy}}: Hard to deny he's good looking.
* PreFinalBoss: [[spoiler:In ''SC'', he serves as the last boss fought before settling things with Weissman.]]
* PrivateMilitaryContractor: Richard first met and recruited him while Loewe was masquerading as a member of the Jester jaeger corps.
* RedBaron: His Japanese title[[note]]剣帝, "kentei"[[/note]] literally translates to "Sword Emperor," though the official English translation went with "Bladelord" instead.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:After he commits a HeelFaceTurn, Weissmann greatly injures him. In that condition, he [[HeroicSacrifice destroys Aureole's barrier using Kernviter so that the party can damage Weissmann]]. Said event ends in his death.]]
* TheReliableOne: Among the Enforcers. He is probably the least quirky, alongside Luciola, and one of the strongest.
* SelectivelyLethalWeapon: Kernviter seems to operate this way.
* ASinisterClue: Wields his sword Kerniviter with his left hand, making him one of the few left-handed characters in the entire franchise to go along with his AntiVillain characterization.
* SpinAttack: Demon Flames combines this with KillItWithFire. He has a new attack called ''Senpuuzan'' in his Alternative Saga appearance which also works this way.
* StealthMentor: Downplayed. Despite relating with Agate and giving the pointers he need to put his grief behind him, he was trying to kill him during their fights.
* TheStoic: He almost never displays strong emotion. [[AllThereInTheManual Loewe Monogatari]] explains this. He deliberately set out to ''become'' this (having previously had some rather extreme [[DarkAndTroubledPast if understandable]] anger management issues) because [[spoiler:his sword [[PowerAtAPrice enhances aggressive impulses and is suggested to be able to turn wielders who ''can't'' control themselves into figurative if not literal monsters.]] Presumably this wasn't considered serious enough for the Grandmaster to discard the weapon but it was serious enough to ''Loewe'' that he decided to do something about it.]]
* SummonToHand: It's implied that he can do this with his sword in the games and made explicit in the OVA, where he even throws the sword and then summons it back to his hand in mid-flight.
* SwordBeam: In Alternative Saga, Loewe gets two of these. His new attack ''Hienzan'' creates a wave of [[PillarOfLight energy pillars]] while his nameless charged attack throws an energy blast [[AnimalMotifs shaped like a lion]] at the target.
* TheseHandsHaveKilled: Took his first kill during Hamel, and was clearly sick from it at first. [[ItGetsEasier Not so much the case in the present.]]
* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler:Implied in ''The 3rd'', explicitly shown as in "Loewe Monogatari," as he and Karin are together and smiling, watching Estelle and Joshua paying their respects at Hamel.]]
* TragicVillain: Saw his hometown destroyed, with the woman he loved dying and his younger brother figure ending up an EmptyShell then learned it was his home country'ds government who arranged for his home's destruction as PretextForWar against Liberl. This all left him completely broken and wandering into the Society's hands.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: Before Hamel was destroyed, he was planning on becoming a Bracer to protect people.
* VillainCred: In his spin-off manga, due to his hatred of complacency, Loewe respects Colonel Richard for recognizing Liberl's vulnerable position and not taking the current peace with the Erebonian Empire for granted. However, while he sympathizes with Richard's goals, he still arranges for the latter to become Weissmann's pawn.
* VillainRespect: If Estelle, Schera, and Kloe manage to beat "Lorence" in Grancel Castle, he'll apologize for holding back and admits Estelle has potential, [[IAmNotLeftHanded right before getting up and taking everyone down with one strike]].
* VillainousFriendship: Clearly cared for Joshua and Renne, and holds strong respect for Arianrhod.
* WarmUpBoss: His second fight in ''Sky FC'' is series wide warm up for bosses where victory is optional and/or have a special condition to get more points, not counting the two trainee soldiers from an early ''Sky FC'' quest. While he is challenging with his strategy of trying to outheal the player's damage, his own damage output is fairly manageable to balance it out. In later games, there are optional victory bosses that are much harder to win, as well as battles with more difficult bonus conditions. This is justified because he's holding back in that fight.
* WeaponTombstone: Following his death, Kernviter is put in Hamel alongside the monument to the villagers. The cast of ''Cold Steel'' pay respects to it in ''Cold Steel III''.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Downplayed, as while he does have silver hair and is part of the villains, he's shown to be much more noble and sympathetic than the other members of the Society with his actions being a result of being [[TragicVillain utterly broken and disillusioned with humanity due to his life experiences]] rather than ForTheEvulz. Even gets a nice [[spoiler: RedemptionEqualsDeath]].
* WreckedWeapon: In Loewe Monogatari (but not the original game), Kernviter is broken in the backlash from destroying Aureole's barrier, with most of the blade being completely disintegrated. Joshua leaves what's left on Karin's grave as per the game. It's still whole when the cast in ''Cold Steel III'' and ''IV'' visit his grave.

A former assassin in the Order of the Moonlight Horse, she, alongside Sharon and Ellroy, joined the Society after it destroyed the Order, becoming Enforcer No. III, the "Golden Butterfly."
----
* AffectionateNickname: Ellroy and Renne call her "Lety." [[spoiler:Similarly, [[Characters/TrailsSeriesCalvardMiscellaneous Melchior]] refers to her as "Lety-[[UsefulNotes/JapaneseSiblingTerminology neesan]]."]]
* BuxomBeautyStandard: During ''Kuro II'''s Intermission, [[Characters/TrailsSeriesImperialLiberationFront Nadia]] expresses a desire for a body like hers and Shizuna's.
* DualBoss: [[spoiler:If the player doesn't take the Ouroboros route for Chapter 5 of ''Daybreak'', she'll fight the party alongside Walter.]]
* EarlyBirdCameo: As with Ellroy, she didn't physically appear or have her name revealed until ''Daybreak'', but her shadow can be seen in [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sharon_kreuger___visual_28sen_iii29.jpg Sharon's flashback]] during Chapter 2 of ''Cold Steel III''.
* FriendlyEnemy: During all of her encounters with the Arkride Solutions Office, she treats them quite amicably.

* KimonoFanservice: During the first ''Daybreak'''s Intermission, she wears a kimono with her face fully shown.
* LifeDrain: One of the secondary effects of her Golden Butterfly Craft involves healing all of her allies.
* LimitBreak: After not getting an S-Craft in the first ''Daybreak'' game, the sequel gives her one in Bijou de Verre.
* PaletteSwap: Her swimsuit in ''Kuro II'' is the same one Judith had as {{DLC}} in ''Daybreak'', only changing from orange to purple.
* PurpleIsPowerful: Her eyes, her kimono from ''Daybreak'''s Intermission, the dress she wears by default, and even her swimsuit in ''Kuro II'', either are purple, or include the color to some degree. And being an organization's number one assassin says quite a bit about her combat prowess.
* SpaceMaster: Her Dusk Glaive is shown to have the power to manipulate space, which is seen in two of her 3 regular Crafts, as well as her S-Craft:
** Both Gullveig Pierce and Bijou de Verre has her create holes in the ground for her to stab or drop her glaive into.
** Her Yousei Genbu Craft has her seemingly open a hole in space while she's slashing her opponents.
* SwordPlant: Her Gullveig Pierce Craft has her stick her glaive into the ground...or rather into a portal she made in the ground.
* ThinkingUpPortals: [[spoiler:''Kuro II'' shows her being able to opening up holes in space to travel through, all while saying "Open Sesame!" It's how the heroes gain access to Garden-Master's hideout in Chapter 3.]]

Enforcer No. VI of Ouroboros, known as the "Bewitching Bell." She has history with Scherazard Harvey of the Brace Guild.
----
* AffectionateNickname: The English script has Scherazard refer to her as "Luci."
* BreathWeapon: At least it looks like this in her second S-Craft "Hellfire". She appears in (presumably illusion) gigantic form and starts spewing fire on the party. She also has a lesser version of this [[spoiler:in ''The 3rd''.]]
* BlowYouAway: Her S-Craft Tempest Dance.
* ContinuityCameo: She appears as [[spoiler:a fortune teller in the amusement park in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsFromZeroAndTrailsToAzure Trails to Azure]]''.]]
* CoolBigSis: In the past, she was an adoring older sister figure towards Scherazard. Even in the present, the latter refers to her as "[[UsefulNotes/JapaneseSiblingTerminology Nee-san]]" in the Japanese script.
* CutTheSafetyRope: Downplayed. [[spoiler:Before plummeting to her DisneyVillainDeath, Schera caught her with her whip. However, Luciola allowed herself to fall down by cutting Schera's whip. Note that there was also Estelle, Joshua, AND a fourth party member who all could've helped Schera, but it was Luciola's decision to fall down.]]
* DoppelgangerAttack: Complete with [[TeleportSpam teleporting after creating one]]. Another feature to her clone is that it will [[SwapTeleportation switch with your party member]] when attacked, making one random party member [[TakingTheBullet take damage for the clone]].
* DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler:She plummets to her death at the end of ''SC'', though Schera convinces herself that Luciola could have survived thanks to her powers. [[DisneyDeath She's right]].]]
* EvilFormerFriend: She was once Scherazard's cool big sister figure.
* IfICantHaveYou: [[spoiler:She confessed her love for the head of the circus that she and Scherazard were in. When he rejected her, she ended up murdering him.]]
* InstrumentOfMurder: The bells on her fans are where she gets her title from.
* LimitBreak: Her S-Craft is Hellfire.
* MasterOfIllusion: Her specialty. She can create many types of illusion (so far revealed are auditory, sensory and visual) with one chime of bell.
* MsFanservice: She has a large chest, her cleavage is completely exposed, and her midriff is on full display.
* NavelDeepNeckline: Her outfit has a plunging neckline that goes all the way to her navel.
* PaperFanOfDoom: Luciola uses a pair of fans as part of her attacks and as part of her illusion-crafting ability.
* PlayingWithFire: It's illusory with real burning pain.
* RedBaron: "The Bewitching Bell."
* SoProudOfYou: [[spoiler:If Schera is in the party for her second battle, she'll compliment her former friend for becoming a successful Bracer.]]
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her name is sometimes spelled with two Cs, which would make it a MeaningfulName because ''lucciola'' is Italian for "firefly" (an animal associated with love but also with the dead).

Enforcer VIII of Ouroboros, known as the "Direwolf."
----
* AmbiguouslyBrown: As a dark-skinned redhead with a German name who hails from a country with a lot of [[{{Wutai}} Eastern Zemurian]] immigration, Walter's ethnicity is completely up in the air.
* AnimalMotifs: [[SavageWolves His title says it all.]]
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Deconstructed according to Zin, who believes Walter would have been even stronger if he had stayed faithful to Taito's teachings instead of blindly seeking power from other styles while [[MasterOfNone never fully mastering any of them]].
* BadassInANiceSuit: Has the fashion sense of a mafioso or {{Yakuza}} bodyguard.
* BareFistedMonk: The most physically imposing Enforcer so far and he does it all with just his fists and feet.
** He does, however, wear [[PowerFist spiked brass knuckles]] over his fingerless gloves, hinting at his unorthodox approach to martial arts techniques (see above).
* BarrierBustingBlow: Grancel Castle has a massive double-gate that could hold off tanks. Walter does not care and takes it down with a ki attack. The only reason it takes two hits to break it open was because there were two sets of doors.
* BeardOfEvil: A goatee stubble, mirroring Zin's somewhat fuzzy chin.
* BigDamnHeroes: Surprisingly enough, his role in ''Daybreak'' is this where he helps out Van a few times, the first time with him killing off the possessed jaeger dogs to open up a way for Van and his party.
* BloodKnight: He exposits to Estelle on the joys of fighting and not knowing if this is going to be the one you don't come back from. Estelle is suitably creeped out.
* TheBrute: The muscle of the Enforcers that appear in ''Sky'', as the EvilCounterpart to Zin.
* TheBusCameBack: He shows up in person in ''Kuro no Kiseki'' after his last appearance since ''the 3rd''.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Any doubt of his strength can be laid to rest as he demonstrates in a flashback in ''Daybreak'' where he ''lifts up Van's truck with one hand'' and chucks it at a soldat.
* CoolShades: Or possibly SinisterShades since he's, y'know, an antagonist and a BloodKnight. But they do look cool, [[InvokedTrope even characters in-universe think so.]]
* CostumeEvolution: When he made his return in ''Daybreak'', he's shown to have traded in his black suit and white shirt for a purple shirt and black leather ensemble.
* DishingOutDirt: His Alcatraz Blow S-Craft in ''Daybreak'' has him encase the enemy in stone before shattering them all with a one-inch punch.
* DualBoss: [[spoiler:He'll fight alongside Cao in Chapter 4 of ''Daybreak''. And if the player doesn't take the Ouroboros route for Chapter 5, he'll team up with Lucrezia.]]
* EvilFormerFriend: Of Zin and Kilika.
* FriendlyEnemy: By ''Daybreak'', [[spoiler:he's at least calmed down enough that he has no problems sharing a table with Zin. With that being said though, the two are reluctant to team up with each other unless the situation calls for it.]]
* GenderedInsult: He taunts the the party, including Zin, Olivier and potentially Agate, by casually referring to them as "ladies". Later does the same to Grancel's (presumably mostly male) army before beating them.
* GuestStarPartyMember: [[spoiler:He can become a non-playable ally in ''Daybreak'' depending on the player's choices. He does it again in ''Kuro II'', this time by default, during Chapter 1B and Chapter 3E.]]
* HeelRealization: In ''SC'', he belatedly realizes what his master was trying to teach him when he agreed to their duel. Granted, later games have shown that it wasn't enough for him to leave the Society.
* HellBentForLeather: Replaces his suit for a leather jacket by his appearance in ''Daybreak''.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Back during the ''Sky'' arc, Walter was easily the worst of the Enforcers, with no significant redeeming qualities. He spoke in graphic detail about his enjoyment of massacring innocent people via his experiment, and brags about not holding back against women and children. In contrast to this, Bleublanc and Luciola's experiments never directly threatened innocent lives (with the former redeeming himself many games later and the latter later leaving the organization), Loewe ensured his experiment spared civilians, and Renne was both later redeemed and has significant trauma to justify her darkness. His romantic feelings for Kilika were the closest thing he had to a redeeming quality, but even that's marred by how he [[LovingAShadow conflated his inheritance of the Taito school with his relationship with her]], causing her to dump him. By the time of ''Daybreak'', however, he's gotten a lot better.
* KiManipulation: Used in part of his S-Craft Ultimate Blow and his regular Craft Razor Bullet.
* KickTheDog: In the OVA, he sees Estelle drop Joshua's harmonica. Rather than simply pass by or pick up the harmonica, he kicks it away from her.
* LimitBreak: His S-Craft in the ''Sky'' games is Ultimate Blow, which is replaced in ''Daybreak'' by Alcatraz Blow.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Unlike Zin and Kilika, Walter was the only one of Ryuga's students that was unaware he was already SecretlyDying from terminal cancer by the time he killed him in a duel and only finds out when Zin tells him during their final battle in SC.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: Downplayed. His second post battle dialogue with Zin implies that part of the reason he was upset at losing succession of the Taito style is because he felt he needed the succession to become worthy of his master's daughter.
* NightmareFetishist: In his first appearance, he describes how he wants people to die in a rather graphic manner, and he definitely has the power to make that happen.
* NotTheFallThatKillsYou: Following his fight in Amberl Tower during ''SC'', Walter escapes by jumping from the tower and appears completely unscathed by his next appearance. Zin speculates that Walter likely used the wall to slow down his descent.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Yin mentions having fought him to a draw in ''Trails from Zero'', a match-up Renne wishes she could have seen.
* OnlyOneName: He was only known as Walter up until the first ''Daybreak'' game revealed his last name to be Kron.
* OutOfFocus: While mentioned several times in ''Zero/Azure'' and the ''Cold Steel'' games, Walter was one of the Enforcers with the least screentime in terms of sheer appearances, as he didn't make a physical appearance beyond the ''Sky'' trilogy until his return in ''Daybreak''.
* PetTheDog: There are a few moments showing that he's not ''completely'' bad:
** [[spoiler:In ''The 3rd'', if you bring Renne to the WolfPackBoss against him, Bleublanc and Luciola, Walter will tell Renne afterwards that whether she remains in the Society or not is her choice to make, and offers to train her should she choose to remain. And ''Daybreak'' shows that her leaving the Society for good did not have a negative impact on their relationship, as seen when the two share a table and trade banter with Ellroy and Lucrezia.]]
** [[spoiler:While he did wreck Van's original pickup truck, he at least had the decency to compensate him for it.]]
* RedBaron: The "Direwolf."
* {{Retcon}}: [[spoiler:During the final chapter of ''Cold Steel IV'', his character portrait from ''Sky'' briefly appears to show his participation in the war. However, Chapter 1 of the first ''Daybreak'' game features a flashback showing that he had already switched to his new outfit during this time.]]
* RivalsTeamUp: [[spoiler:Despite him and Zin not liking the idea of teaming up with another, the two do so without hesitation to save Renne in ''Daybreak''.]]
* SirSwearsALot: Rivals Agate as the game's most foul-mouthed character.
* SmokingIsCool: He enjoys his cigarettes, as seen in his S-Craft.
* UnluckyChildhoodFriend: Kilika officially dumps him after his first boss fight because she can't stand how he thinks of romancing her and inheriting the dojo as one and the same.
* WorthyOpponent: Walter seeks enemies stronger than him for the experience and the thrill. Loewe got him to participate in Weissmann's plot by telling him there's another Bracer in Liberl besides Cassius Bright who is strong enough to give him a run for his money. [[note]]It's Zin, although Walter had assumed he meant Cassius' daughter.[[/note]]
* WouldHurtAChild: And also WouldHitAGirl. They're the reason for his title.

Initially introduced as "Phantom Thief B", Bleublanc is a master thief who also happens to be Enforcer No. X of Ouroboros, the "Phantom Thief."
----
* {{Ahoge}}: He has a single pronounced hair antenna when going around unmasked in ''Cold Steel''. You shouldn't trust him any more then than when he's masked.
* AllThereInTheManual: An in-universe version in the form of the Phantom Thief B Report, a special publication by the Imperial Chronicle of Erebonia which analyzes his actions and offers suggestions to his past.
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Despite his last appearance in ''SC'' being of him bleeding after the party breaks his mask ''against his face'', the next time he's seen unmasked he is completely unscarred. Possibly explained by Ouroboros' access to extremely advanced technology.
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:His entire role in ''Cold Steel IV'' is to rescue the heroes from the villains. A far cry from who he normally is.]]
* BishieSparkles: A part of his 'Baron' disguise.
* CampStraight: His voice and mannerisms are incredibly camp, but he is exclusively attracted to women, and there are definite IHaveYouNowMyPretty undertones in his interactions with Kloe in ''SC''.
* TheCasanova: Has, on at least one occasion, stolen somebody's wife.
* CriminalMindGames: He loves setting up riddles and watching people struggle to solve them. All evidence suggests that he really doesn't steal for material wealth at all, though for particularly beautiful things he will at least attempt to keep it for himself.
* DoppelgangerAttack: He can clone himself during battle while also [[TeleportSpam teleporting each time he's making one]], and each of the clone can attack you. Once you hit the real one though, all the remaining fakes disappear until he makes another set.
* EarlyBirdCameo: While the first time Estelle and company knowingly meet him is chapter one of ''SC'', Estelle and Kloe had unknowingly met him while in disguise a couple times in chapter two of ''FC''. [[spoiler:He's this again in ''Cold Steel IV'' where he actually shows up in ''Cold Steel III'' as a sidequest in chapter 3 but it isn't even his usual modus operandi although it is consistent with his shtick of appreciating beauty in general.]]
* EvilLaugh: His trademark laugh. "Ha, ''ha''!"
* EnemyMine: [[spoiler:His stance in ''Cold Steel IV'' with the heroes. He's still with Ouroboros but he at least stays out of Rean's way and actually ends up helping them a few times.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsFromZero'', he thanks Lloyd and his party for [[spoiler:helping out Renne]]. And as revealed in ''Cold Steel III'', he was pretty close with Vita which is why [[spoiler: when she went against Ouroboros for siding with the gnomes, he also decided not to partake in the recapture of the Phantasmal Blaze Plan. In fact, he's not even fought in ''Cold Steel IV''; he's ''an ally instead''.]] Further, if Count Altheim is to be believed in ''Cold Steel IV,'' his [[spoiler: StartOfDarkness came about as a result of Bleublanc losing a lover.]]
* EvilCounterpart: He's presented as one to Olivier, who disagrees with his definition of "beauty". They both share the trait of being extremely flowery in their manners of speaking; they both annoy the party, albeit in different ways.
* {{Expy}}: Of Literature/ArseneLupin.
* FriendlyEnemy: Each time he encounters Olivier, they can't help but to debate about their views.
** In one of the episodes of ''Reverie'', [[spoiler:he disguises his wedding gift for Olivert as one of his usual quests.]]
* GracefulLoser: He accepts his final defeat and acknowledges the strengths of Estelle and her party before leaving.
* GrailInTheGarbage: Many of the things of "beauty" he steals are things that he considers underappreciated, so he takes them takes them away and leaves them somewhere they will be appreciated more. Examples include artwork that had been left unviewed in a museum's storage area for years and a TrophyWife. [[spoiler:Or as of ''Cold Steel III'' because of TheReveal in ''Cold Steel IV'', a logbook of a pirate instead of the more valuable quartz New Class VII keeps.]]
* HamToHamCombat: His encounters with Olivier more or less turn into this.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:He becomes outright heroic in the final games of the Cold Steel arc, first helping save the lives of Olivier and Toval, and later helping save the heroes during their run-ins with the villain team.]]
* HiddenDepths: He apparently has enough expertise in singing to partake in a duet with [[spoiler:Vita, a world-famous opera singer,]] in ''Cold Steel IV''. Also see HeelFaceTurn above.
* HiddenInPlainSight: If you are quick enough to pause in the opening of ''Cold Steel II'', [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Falcom/comments/pm1rv3/right_under_our_noses/ he is seen among the student crowd]].
* HPToOne: His S-Craft Death Magic in ''Cold Steel II'' will decrease target's HP to one as well as inflict poison. It fortunately is a single-target attack.
* ImpossibleThief: His specialty. Highlights include stealing a prototype tank from the middle of a highly-guarded army base, a statue from Crossbell's city hall and his ultimate goal in ''FC'' and ''SC'': [[spoiler:"Hope".]]
* JustLikeRobinHood: He's noted to be popular in the Empire, partially because of how awesomely crazy some of his thefts are and partially because the poor tend to find themselves with free money after 'B' has stolen something. The authors of the Phantom Thief B Report caution the readers not to romanticize him since he's still a thief.
* LaughablyEvil: He's one of the more amusing members of Ouroboros, especially when he makes the party go through his sidequests and exasperates them with his audacious means of hiding clues.
* LimitBreak: His S-Craft, in both the ''Sky'' and ''Cold Steel'' games, is Death Magic.
* MagicStaff: The first unit shown in the series to use one in combat. It can be changed into a sword in the middle of his S-Craft.
* MasterOfDisguise: So much so. He has disguised himself as random passers-by, a person investigating one of his thefts and at his most audacious [[spoiler:as a member of your party. Although as Rean points out in ''Cold Steel IV'', he can't change his gender which is why Rean ends up clearing him when someone else is doing his shtick.]]
* MultipleChoicePast: The Phantom Thief B Report examines three individuals who may or may not be the man behind the mask. These include: a womanizing thief and con artist who was last seen escaping from prison dubbed "X"; a former painter/forger gone missing after suffering a tragic loss (whose forgeries B is in the habit of tracking down and destroying) dubbed "Y"; and a perpetually bored, noble-born martial artist with combat skills somewhat similar to B called "Z". The paper is unable to conclude which of these theories (if any) is correct. However, the ''player'' may be able to figure out the correct answer: [[spoiler:Blueblanc sent the paper a note saying that they were getting close, and that "his number reveals all". Given his Enforcer number "X" (which is 10 in Roman Numerals), that would imply that his real identity is that of X.]]
** A bit more light is shed in ''Cold Steel IV'', where it turns out the cover he used to [[spoiler: get into Count Altheim's good graces as a traveling novelist named Aleister]] was an identity he had going for ''at least'' a full decade. Bleublanc may not be a young man, but he certainly doesn't appear to have quite made it to his forties. It's even implied Bleublanc may have been lying about the answer he gave in ''The 3rd'' and instead had a background closer to [[spoiler: "Y," if not perhaps a mixture of both "X" and "Y" as both a con and a man who fell into the 'darkness' necessary to enter Ouroboros as a result of a tragic accident involving a lost love.]] It may even be the case that [[spoiler: Aleister]] ''is'' who Bleublanc used to be, considering how quick Bleublanc is to dismiss the alias, as if ashamed to even associate with it - almost like he has a past with that alias he'd rather move on from.
* NobleDemon: Make no mistake; Bleublanc's twisted view of what consistutes 'beauty' means he'd love to watch Nord reduced to a hellscape just so that it can gain a 'tragic' and 'ephemeral' quality that would make it all the more grand in its final moments of peace and tranquility. However, Bleublanc is all about fair play, and frequently aids the heroes in whatever game he appears in because he finds their travails interesting and enticing in their own way. His rivalry with Princess Klaudia and Prince Olivert means he also frequently gives them direct aid when they need it most, if only so he can continue to pursue Klaudia for her beauty and to continue his discourse on what quantifies beauty with Olivert. He's also easily the most cooperative member of Ouroboros who harbors no intentions of abandoning his post and the one least likely to utilize deadly force against his enemies.
* NotMeThisTime: An entire sidequest in ''Cold Steel IV'' has the party investigate puzzles just like what Bleublanc would normally do. [[spoiler:It turns out to be Mariabell's doing and Bleublanc shows up afterwards.]]
* PaperThinDisguise: In ''Cold Steel'', his 'disguise' is simply to take off his mask while still going around calling himself by his usual name and acting much as he usually does. Of course, he's smart enough not to do it in front of people he knows could identify him and instead jerks around Class VII for his own amusement.
* PhantomThief: It's his [[RedBaron Enforcer title]]. He of course has skills to show he's truly one.
* PutOnABus: He doesn't show up in ''Cold Steel III'' [[spoiler:because Vita is going against her fellow Anguis for siding with the gnomes and supporting a war. Except that it's a subversion and he does show up in ''Cold Steel III'' thanks to him showing up in ''Cold Steel IV'', disguised as a NPC named "Aleistair" and it's not even one of Bleublanc's usual modus operandi sidequests though he still does appreciate the lost beauty of an old logbook.]]
* RecurringCharacter: Appears in every game in the Sky and Cold Steel arcs (if you count his appearances as a disguised NPC in ''Sky FC''/''Cold Steel III''). If you include his letters to the SSS in the Crossbell duology as appearances, then he would be the only character in the ''VideoGame/TrailsSeries'' to appear in every game.
* ShadowPin: He has the ability to perform this in cutscenes using knives and has done it to the player in ''SC'' and ''Cold Steel II''. The latter game finally included a means to turn it into a gameplay mechanic but didn't actually give it to him as a combat skill. Both times it happens the party has to be rescued by a third party, via dispelling the shadows in one case and removing the daggers in the other.
* SpotTheImposter: At one point in ''Cold Steel II'', he kidnaps [[spoiler:a member of Class VII]] and impersonates him purely to see if Rean can figure out who he switched places with.
* WorthyOpponent: Considers Olivert to be his rival because of theirs diverging opinions about beauty.
** [[spoiler:He saves Olivert, Toval and Victor from certain death following the Courageous' explosion because of this trope.]]
* WrongContextMagic: He uses magic for most of his attacks but it is a different kind from the actual magic than the Hexen Clan uses.

A survivor of Hamel, Joshua Astray, later Joshua Bright, was molded into an assassin by Weissmann and acted as essentially his slave until he was defeated and adopted by Cassius Bright. Though he began work as a bracer, the day he qualified as a senior, he confronted "Professor Alba"--in reality, Weissmann--and regained his memories of his time as an Enforcer. The trauma and guilt caused him to run away and lead a one-man crusade against the Society, but his adoptive sister/lover Estelle, undeterred by his horrific backstory, mended his broken heart and convinced him to work with her in fighting Ouroboros. Near the end of the Gospel Plan, he was permanently freed from Weissmann's control, and now continues to work as a bracer.

A Crossbellan girl abducted by the D∴G Cult while living in Calvard away from her parents, Renny Hayworth was recruited into the Society by Joshua and Leonhardt when the lodge she was kept at, a ''child brothel'', fell to Ouroboros. Now going by "Renne," she came out of her experience with enhanced intelligence and abilities, but the unspeakable trauma the poor girl suffered hardened her heart, made her extremely AxCrazy, and caused her to view almost everyone outside Ouroboros as no different from her abusers, perceived and actual. However, this changed near the end of the Gospel Plan when Estelle Bright showed her kindness; after this, she deserted the Society, resulting in a cat-and-mouse chase across Erebonia and Crossbell that [[spoiler:eventually ended with her coming to terms with her horrific childhood and the Brights adopting her]].

* AlmightyJanitor: She, along with her fellow members in the Stahlritter (and the useless Gilbert), are the only named Ouroboros members who aren't an Enforcer or a member of the Anguis. This does not mean that she's weak in anyway, with both Bleublanc and Sharon themselves explicitly stating that she's just as skilled as one despite not having a number. To wit, she once won a fight against ''Loewe'', though she proceeded to lose 99 times after that.
* AmazonBrigade: The proud leader of of the powerful, all female Stahlritter.
* {{Angrish}}: Because of her HairTriggerTemper, she has a tendancy to get infuriated at the slightest displeasure, be it something that is actually a hinder to Ouroboros's plans, being exasperated by her fellow tendancies, or simply being teased by people who noticed her overblown reactions to taunts and get a kick out of it.
* AntiVillain: Despite being a proud member of Ouroboros and not the most amiable person you can deal with, it is made clear that Duvalie possess the qualities of the knights she typically associate with. During ''Cold Steel III'', she and Shirley settle for giving the Branch Campus a scare during their attack instead of using disproportionate violence against unexperimented students (though Shirley required an external intervention to prevent her from blowing the Derfflinger during her frenzy), instead advicing them to cease their operations in the regions before they are forced to escalate things and later in the game, after subduing Millium in Ordis, the Stahlritter don't even think about using her in a HostageSituation despite the fact that it would allow them to get rid of some annoying obstacles for Ouroboros's plans.[[spoiler:She eventually decide that enough is enough and take a break from the society during ''Cold Steel IV'' and join the Radiant Wings in order to prevent the Great Twilight.]]
* ArmoredVillainsUnarmoredHeroes: [[spoiler:She ends up siding with the protagonists while ditching the armor in ''Cold Steel IV''. Played with, as she eventually put it back on during the Salt Pales.]]
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: During her episode in ''Reverie'',[[spoiler:she resolve Rean's fears of using Spirit Unification with one of these.]]
-->'''Duvalie''': [[spoiler:While your ogre powers reached their peak and even your hair and eye color changed... you were the most dangerous you'd ever been, but did any of your friends flee from you in fear ?]]
* ArrogantKungFuGirl: Will not miss a chance to boast how strong she is thanks to her mistress' training. ESPECIALLY to Laura, who she mocks by claiming the Arseid school as an insignificant branch school. Though she hastily backs down when the Radiant Blademaster offers to give her satisfaction for whatever grievance she has against his family.
** Downplayed in the later games when she met other swordsman far above her level, which considerably humble her. The evolution reach its pinnacle during ''Reverie'' where [[spoiler:she confide in her episode that she is entertaining the thought of studying under Aurelia in order to perfect her swordsmanship.]]
* AscendedExtra: She went from a minor one-shot character during her debut in ''Azure'',[[note]]not even having a portrait until the [=PS4=] versions[[/note]] to a recurring lesser villain with a clearly-defined personality in ''Cold Steel II'' and ''III'', to having an important role in ''Cold Steel IV'' [[spoiler:once she ends up joining the heroes. She's the guest party member with the longest time in the party and is basically available for 3/4 of the game minus a few dungeons. In fact she's pretty much the entire focus of the penultimate arc of the game against her former Master. She's also the only guest to have bond events and an ending scene with Rean, though she can't become a love interest.]]
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Duvalie is the leader of the Stahlritter despite being the youngest of their members and is frequently teased by her fellow knights by virtue of her character making it extremely easy to do so.
* BadassAdorable: It's shown that a few people find her temperament to be kind of endearing, [[spoiler:with even Jessica & Wayne (students she tried to kill a few months prior) sharing the sentiment.]] However, it would still be a grave mistake to underestimate her as one does not become the second in command of the Stahlritter through nepotism.
* BadassBoast: She may well be, well... but that doesn't stop her from delivering this line...
-->'''Duvalie''': We may have fought before, but that was a mere taste of what I'm truly capable of. Come at me with all that you have. I am the head knight of the Stahlritter, Duvalie the Swift... ...and I shall defeat every one of you.
-->'''Laura''': WellSeeAboutThat.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: It's easy to underestimate her given how neurotic and easily flustered she is. That would be a mistake.
* BigEater: She is first introduced devouring food in Legram's inn. [[spoiler:Also, the size of her plate during the Imperial Wedding would make Ries proud.]]
* BirdsOfAFeather: [[spoiler:Ultimately despite the one-sided animosity she displays towards Laura, the two of them have pretty much the same goals and ideals and as such, are able to bond easily when they are on the same side.]]
* BookEnds: Her first appearance in ''Cold Steel II'' saw her eating in Legram's inn pestering about the Arseid.[[spoiler: Her last appearance in ''Cold Steel IV'' shows her eating in the Imperial Wedding next to Laura.]]
* ButtMonkey: Poor Duvalie is constantly on the receiving end of humiliations, whether it's being abandoned by her apathetic partner [=McBurn=] or repeatedly beaten down (and sometimes pitied) by Class VII. And that's in spite of her surprisingly strong combat capabilities. She can't seem to escape this status in the third game, since her first appearance alongside Shirley has the latter grope Duvalie's boobs. Later on, Ines and Ennea tease her that she might be into [=McBurn=] as the both of them see her together with him. Then [=McBurn=] starts teasing that Duvalie might be into Rean. Yeah, girl can't catch a break.
* ChallengeSeeker: As shown during her episode in ''Reverie'', [[spoiler:Rean and she end up participating in the martial art tournament taking place the day after the Imperial Wedding. Despite the tournament having heavyweights such as Aurelia, Cassius, Victor and Arios participating, the two of them aren't discouraged by their low prospects of winning and only seek to witness firsthand the abilites of their betters. They are eventually allowed to make a group of 4 people instead of 2 because it is recognized that it would be a uninteresting CurbStompBattle for every party otherwise.]]
* CombinationAttack: She loses Prism Calibur in ''Cold Steel III'', and instead has joint S-Crafts with Ines and Ennea. One with each of them and one with all three attacking together.
* TheComicallySerious: Seems to be one of the few members of Ouroboros who actually takes her position seriously, making her a perfect foil to her partners, Bleublanc and [=McBurn=].
* ConflictingLoyalty: [[spoiler:She starts doubting her master about the Phantasmal Blaze Plan in ''Cold Steel III'' after witnessing what the Great Twilight will bring. As such, she side with Class VII during ''Cold Steel IV'' to prevent the Great Twilight and find out the reason why Arianrhod is willing to go through it.]]
* ContinuityNod: She first appeared as one of Arianrhod battle maiden who the SSS fight on the way to the top of Stargazer Tower along with Ines and Ennea.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Duvalie comes across as the overly serious comedy relief, a chew-toy whose only role is to get beaten up by the protagonists and shown up by the more dangerous bad guys. However, she's actually an extremely capable fighter, as Rean and company discover in their fight against her in the Infernal Castle.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:She was a minor noble from a foreign land until bandits destroyed her village. Following this, she was taken by Arianrhod.]]
* DefeatMeansPlayable: [[spoiler:In both ''Cold Steel IV'' and ''Reverie'', she need to be defeated in a DualBoss and a DuelBoss respectively before she joins the party.]]
* {{Determinator}}: She challenged Loewe a hundred times despite being clearly not on par with him. It's also implied that Loewe throw his one loss against her because of her drive.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler: She intended to leave Class VII after helping Crow in the 1st Rivalry, only to be reminded that she has no means of transportation and no back-up from the Society to leave Bryonia Island forcing her to stick with Class VII.]]
* DoomedHometown: While the exact circumstances are unknown, Duvalie confide during ''Cold Steel III'' that her hometown suffered a fate similar to Hamel's.
* DoppelgangerAttack: Her S-Craft Prism Caliber, complete with FlashStep.
** Her craft Bladelord Specter appear to be this but is revealed in ''Cold Steel IV'' [[DoppelgangerSpin to be another trope entirely.]]
* DualBoss: A lot of them. During the Erebonia Arc, she partners with [=McBurn=], Bleublanc, Shirley,[[spoiler: Crow and Laura.]]
* DuelBoss: [[spoiler:Ends up dueling Rufus in ''Reverie''. She ends up losing due to Rufus playing dirty by using his ARCUS II to trap her and then goes in to disarm her.]]
* DueToTheDead: Along with Shirley, she makes a point in ''Cold Steel III'' to not pick a fight with Agate and Class VII in the remains of Hamel and move to the canyon before starting their fight.
* EarlyBirdCameo: The Stahlritter appeared without much characterization in the Crossbell arc, and before her formal introduction as a character in ''Cold Steel II'', she can be seen sampling Legram's cuisine at the inn, enjoying the food but hating how respected the Arseids are in the area.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: When she is introduced in ''Azure'', the main gimmick of her fight is that she use the Body Split craft just like Loewe to spawn copies of herself. This aspect is completely absent in subsequent appearances, but it is especially jarring in ''Cold Steel II'' considering the fact that the game happen in the same timeframe as ''Azure''.
* ElementalPowers: Her crafts include elemental slashes that inflict status ailments. These are [[AnIcePerson freeze]], [[PlayingWithFire burn]] and [[ShockAndAwe paralysis]].
* EvenEvilHasStandards: She has knightly pride after all. She tells Duke Albarea that she would have gladly gutted him on sight for razing down Celdic if her master hadn't ordered her not to.[[spoiler:''Cold Steel III'' ramps this up when she sees the Courageous destroyed in the most anti-climactic fashion and is shocked at it along with being told the [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt end result]] of the Great Twilight.]]
* EvilCounterpart: Duvalie is introduced in Cold Steel II as a stark contrast to Laura. While both aspire to become paragons of knighthood, Laura is dignified, calm and idolize the Lance Maiden and her Eisenritter while Duvalie tend to be rude with a short fuse while devoting herself completely to the Steel Maiden while leading the Stahlritter.
* EvilIsPetty: During ''Cold Steel II'', when Laura ask her about the similitudes between the Eisenritter and the Stahlritter, Duvalie take great pleasure in denying her request in the pettiest way possible, hoping to get a rise out of her. Laura is more confused by her refusal and the ensuing contrast between their reaction piss Duvalie off.
* FailedASpotCheck: [[spoiler:She runs into Rufus' party during Act 4 of ''Reverie'' and immediately attacks him to avenge Arianrhod. She didn't realize how odd it was that the supposed Supreme Leader who took over Crossbell was not only out of the city, but was actively fighting against his own troops until Renne and the others pointed it out to her, ''after'' losing what she thought would be a DuelToTheDeath to him. Somewhat justified as she was likely BlindedByRage from being face-to-face with [[YouKilledMyFather her lord's killer]].]]
* FairPlayVillain: A trait shown especially during ''Cold Steel III'' where her honor and distaste for cowardly tactics lead her to refuse using an subdued Millium as an advantage during a fight with ''Class VII''.
* {{Fangirl}}: Of Arianrhod.
* FightingYourFriend: [[spoiler:As a result of seceding from Ouroboros during the Great Twilight, Duvalie is forced to take arms against her fellow Stahlritter during the assault on the Black Workshop and the 3rd Rivalry.]] While this turn of event clearly leave her in anguish, she recognizes it also give her the opportunity to show them her growth.
* FireForgedFriends: [[spoiler:Following her HeelFaceTurn and despite her reluctance, she and Class VII ally during ''Cold Steel IV'' to prevent the Great Twilight. Their association lead them to eventually consider her a friend and comrade ([[FriendshipDenial despite her initial protests on the subject]]) and she eventually come around a return the sentiment, most notably toward Rean, Crow and Laura.]]
* FireIceLightning: The three elements of her Brand crafts.
* FreakOut: After her final fight in ''Cold Steel II'', once she realize she is losing ground against Class VII, she completely freak out, granting her a second wind and taking back control of the fight, until Toval and Olivert pull a BigDamnHeroes allowing Class VII to keep climbing the Infernal Castle.
* FriendshipDenial: [[spoiler:She sides with Class VII during ''Cold Steel IV'' in order to avert the Great Twilight but make clear that this is temporary and only happened because they share a goal. She eventually changed her mind.]]
* FriendshipMoment: [[spoiler:After spending most of her time in ''Cold Steel IV'' insisting that she and Class VII are not friends, she actually refer to them as this during her final event in ''Cold Steel IV''.]]
* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: In her side episode in ''Reverie'', [[spoiler:she delivers this speech to Rean when he is hesitant to use Spirit Unification following the Great Twilight.]]
* GetItOverWith: In ''Reverie'',[[spoiler:after losing her duel to Rufus, she prompt him to kill her. While Rufus clearly is TheUnfettered, even as his worse, he is still an adept of PragmaticVillainy and as such, has no reason to kill her and refuse to do so. Afterward, Duvalie cool her head and is brought up to light by Renne and reluctantly joins the party.]]
* GoodIsNotNice: [[spoiler:Even though she mellows out, she keep her temper as a party member.]]
* GoodCostumeSwitch: [[spoiler:Upon joining Class VII during ''Cold Steel IV'', she put her armor aside to wear casual clothes. Her reasoning being that while she is doubting her master, she is no longer fit to wear the Stahlritter armor. Later in the game and once her internal conflict is resolved, she put back the armor despite still siding with Class VII.]]
* GracefulLoser: Zig-zagged. While Duvalie is able to recognize her own defeats with grace, whatever she is ''willing'' to do so depend of who her opponent is and of the type of competition.
* GrewASpine: [[spoiler:As a result of her CharacterDevelopment during ''Cold Steel IV'', she learns to question her master's decisions and stand by her convictions. It comes to a head in her Episode during ''Reverie'', where she tells Rean that even if she return to Ouroboros, she will never do something that is opposed to her values counting on the Society lenient policies with Enforcers. This is lampshaded in her link victory with Crow in Reverie.]]
--> [[spoiler:'''Crow''']]: Heh, I thought you'd never get that stick out but look at you now !
--> '''Duvalie''' : I...Hmph... So what if I changed ? There is no shame in personal growth.
* HairTriggerTemper: As a result of having to play the [[StraightMan straight woman]] so often.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:She pulls it in the intermission of ''Cold Steel IV'', when she and Crow help Rean escape from the Black Workshop. Even after the event of the game and her subsequent return to Ouroboros, she tells Rean she will use the liberty proper to Ouroboros's officers to never betray her beliefs ever again.]]
* HealThyself: [[spoiler:When playable during ''Cold Steel IV'',]] she comes with the Dunamis EX Master Quartz allowing her to heal herself of a percentage of the damage she deals.
* HiddenBuxom: According to Shirley, her bust might look small, but it's actually around the same size as Mariabell's. Though she's apparently still smaller than Ines and Ennea.
* HoldingHands: [[spoiler:At the end of both of her interactions with Rean in ''Cold Steel IV'' and ''Reverie'', the two of them share an handshake as a sign of trust in the first case and as a duel promise in the second.]]
* HonoraryTrueCompanion: [[spoiler:She is recognized as one by Class VII shortly before they face Arianrhod during the 3rd Rivalry. She stays cool but is clearly touched by the declaration of friendship. ''Reverie'' drives this home by having her join them for a "[[BeachEpisode beach vacation]]."]]
* IgnorantMinion: Despite spending 8 years with Arianrhod, she never seem to have wondered why her master was siding with Ouroboros in the first place and is completely taken aback once she realize that her lord's endgoal [[spoiler:is directly linked to TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. The contradiction between her understanding of Arianrhod character and the current result of her actions lead Duvalie to temporarly leave her side to follow her own beliefs and at the same time, figure out why her beloved master would usher such an event.]]
* IrrationalHatred: Duvalie loathe the Arseid family for what she perceived is a slight towards Arianrhod, [[spoiler:namely taking the place that her master should rightfully have.]] This hatred is neither shared by Arianrhod herself ([[spoiler:as she entrusted the Legram lordship to Victor & Laura's ancestor before leaving to walk Zemuria]]) nor by the Arseid family ([[spoiler:who are still reverent to Lianne Sandlot to this day]] and are confused about why the knight girl from the society seems to personally hate their guts). This hatred dies down later in the ''Cold Steel'' arc but is still used sometimes to comedic effects.
* ItsPersonal: Especially shown during ''Reverie'', [[spoiler:but Rufus' murder of Arianrhod lead Duvalie to be angrily homicidal during their first encounter.]]
* ImpoverishedPatrician: Last survivor of a minor noble house that was wiped out by bandits before she met Arianrhod.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: While she may have bragged about being equal to Loewe to the SSS, she admits to Rean that she was never much of a match to him.
* InsistentTerminology: Duvalie make a point of not referring to Laura by her full name but as either "the Arseid girl" or rarely referring to her as Laura Arseid while dropping the S. [[spoiler:In hindsight, Duvalie refusing to associate the family she deems to be little more than a branch school with the Sandlot name of her master make sense.]]
* InstantCostumeChange: At one point changes from a blue dress to her brown BattleBallgown between camera shifts. While Rean is in the room talking to her. And judging by his lack of comment on the matter, without him seeing anything naughty or being asked to look away.
* IOweYouMyLife: Arianrhod saved her when she was a child and took her in.
* {{Jerkass}}: Duvalie is not pleasant to be around during ''Cold Steel II'', which is made especially jarring as she is usually partnered with Bleublanc and [=McBurn=], who are far more affable than she is. {{Downplayed|Trope}} in later games, where she's mostly just kind of grouchy, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold but her good side is more apparant]].
* KnowWhenToFoldThem: Despite her feelings towards the Arseid family, she instantly refuses a duel against Victor knowing she is outmatched.
* KnightlySwordAndShield: Though she never really uses the shield.
* LastNameBasis: [[spoiler:When she becomes an ally in ''Cold Steel IV'', she refers to Rean and Crow as "Schwarzer" and "Armbrust."]]
* LettingHerHairDown: One of her alternate skins in ''Akatsuki no Kiseki'' is her at the beach. The result [[BeautifulAllAlong may surprise you.]]
* LightningBruiser: In her case, it's literal in that she incorporates lightning in her attacks, especially with her S-Craft. [[spoiler:Her stats when playable also heavily enforces Strength and Speed. ''Reverie'' takes it up a notch as with a proper build and her improved Lightning Sword Brave Order, her Swift Slash attack can get a delay of ''1'' meaning that she can act again almost indefinitely. What makes her not that powerful and thus, the second coming of Alan Richard, is that the CP costs of her crafts in general are too expensive that she will easily run out of CP even with accessories and a Master Quartz that refills CP as they're so small to refill any of it.]]
* LimitBreak: Her S-Craft is Prism Caliber.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: She is the only character in the series to use a shield. However...
** ShieldsAreUseless: Her defenses are pretty average compared to her fellow maiden [[MightyGlacier Ines]].
*** Finally subverted in ''Reverie'' where she uses her shield in a cutscene, [[spoiler:blocking the Emperor Dogma's attack targeted at Lapis.]]
* LuminescentBlush: [[ChickMagnet Rean]] manages to make her blush after complementing her for being a sincere woman.
* MasterSwordsman: Once beat the Bladelord in a duel. Granted, Loewe won the other 99 times they fought, but still, being able to stand against one of the strongest swordmaster in the world is quite an impressive feat.
* MoodSwinger: Can go from cocky and proud to utterly pissed in a really short amount of time.
* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Pretty much all of her attempts to sound threatening fall completely flat.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:Asks herself, Ines and Ennea this after seeing what she helped to realize at the climax of ''Cold Steel III''.]]
* NoRespectGuy: Ennea loves poking fun at her and Ines seems amused by the whole ordeal, leaving her as this. However, both of them recognize her strength and despite the tease, Ennea will be eternally grateful towards Duvalie for saving her.
* TheNotLoveInterest: [[spoiler:She can serve as this to Rean during ''Cold Steel IV'' by virtue of being one of the two women (with Celine) who don't have a romantic Final Bonding event. Despite some ShipTease, her final interaction with Rean is merely a shared FriendshipMoment. Justified when you consider than they've only been interacting on the same side for two weeks.]]
* NotSoAboveItAll: While she might play the sane woman among Ouroboros, she also has some quirky moments like attempting to taunt Laura about not revealing how similar the Eisenritter and the Stahlritter are in the most childish way possible, only for her to get pissed off at Laura not biting, and for her over the top praising she gives towards her master.
** [[spoiler:During the BeachEpisode in ''Reverie'', she actually press Celine to accompany her in the Banana Boat.]]
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Don't let her status as the ButtMonkey fool you into thinking she's weak. She's part of the Stahlritter for a good reason, as Class VII find out in the Infernal Castle.
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: The Stahlritter are an oddity in Ouroboros, given they aren't loyal to the Grandmaster but to Arianrhod.
* OnlySaneWoman: Recurringly. In ''Cold Steel II'', she finds herself paired with the apathetic [=McBurn=] and the [[LargeHam hammy]] [[PhantomThief Bleublanc]]. The third game pairs her with Shirley and Ennea. [[spoiler:Finally, she strike an alliance with Crow during ''Cold Steel IV''.]]
* OnlyTheWorthyMayPass: She will challenge in battle anyone who would dare face her lord.
* PartsUnknown: She refer to Erebonia as a faraway land when discussing her backstory and came from a noble family which rules out the possibility of her being from Calvard, making it likely that she hails from Center or Eastern Zemuria.
* PayEvilUntoEvil: Zigzagged. One of her beefs with the Bracer way is that just like Arianrhod, she believe in dispensing justice to evildoers, regardless of the law [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections that they are able to ignore or that are actively protecting them.]] As such in ''Cold Steel II'', she claims that if it were not for Arianrhod's orders, she would have murdered Duke Albarea herself for what he did to Celdic and its townpeople. However, she is perfectly fine with criminals being punished by law, as she claims in Reverie[[spoiler: when facing Rufus that if he hadn't escaped prison, there would be no need to further escalate things.]]
* PetTheDog:
** She is the first one to sugget to not pick a fight with Agate and Class VII in the remains of Hamel and move to the canyon before starting their fight.
** Despite grumbling about it, [[spoiler:she help Wayne & Jessica in their training by sparring with them and pointing the flaws to improve in their styles.]]
** [[spoiler:She also prompt Juna to get [[AfterActionPatchup one of her sparring injuries healed despite Juna treating it as a mere scratch.]]]]
* PromotedToPlayable: [[spoiler:Becomes a party member in ''Cold Steel IV'', cementing her HeelFaceTurn.]]
* PsychopathicManchild: Ironic given the above trope. If she loses her temper ([[HairTriggerTemper which is often]]) she will throw childish tantrums, whine a lot, and make all kinds of violent threats to anyone in her vicinity.
* PureIsNotGood: As noted above, she is ''incredibly'' powerful, with her strength surpassing even some of Ouroboros's Enforcers, yet is not an Enforcer herself. Talking to her aboard the ''Pantagruel'' will reveal that the major reason she isn't is because the Grandmaster of Ouroboros requires that a person must have some kind of deep "darkness" in their heart to be an Enforcer. After learning this, Rean can immediately tell that Duvalie has nothing of the sort in her nature.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives one towards Duke Albarea for him even thinking that she's there to defend him and states that he better be happy she didn't gut him personally.
* RegretfulTraitor: During ''Cold Steel IV'', [[spoiler:she temporarly take a leave from the Stahlritter in order to oppose the Great Twilight. When confronted by Ines and Ennea in the Black Workshop, [[FriendshipMoment she tell them that leaving them break her heart]], [[ToBeLawfulOrGood but that she feel she can't keep following Arianrhod through this]] and has to settle the mess they started.]]
* SayMyName: [[spoiler:Screams "Master!" in the trailer of ''Cold Steel IV'' as of unknown reasons. Then the game reveals the [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice horrifying]] [[HeelFaceDoorSlam context...]]]]
* SailorFuku: [[spoiler:Her DLC costume in ''Cold Steel IV'' has her wearing a white school girl uniform with a black skirt.]]
* SecretKeeper: [[spoiler:She knows her master is Lianne Sandlot. However, she did not knew that she was also Argreion's Awakener.]]
* SmartPeoplePlayChess: Inverted. [[spoiler:In ''Cold Steel IV'', Rean can walk on her and Sara playing chess in the Courageous II. While Sara reveal she is proficient as chess but not on Rean's level (and even less on Machias'), the CurbStompBattle she dishes to Duvalie leave Rean pitying her, while she is desperate to find a move to regain momentum and not lose miserably. She clarifies that Arianrhod did taught her how to play but she is a poor learner.]]
* SophisticatedAsHell: Tend to talk in a formal way, unless she is losing her temper. In which case, she can switch to crude language real fast. Made especially clear when she conclude her EstablishingCharacterMoment by a blunt "Sucks to be you !".
* SpellBlade: A few of her crafts allows her to enchant her blade with fire, ice or lightning.
* SpiritedCompetitor: Duvalie is a pretty competitive woman, may it be in swordsmanship where a hundred loses against Loewe didn't hinder her motivation or in more trivial topics [[spoiler:like drinking contests.]]
* {{Squee}}: When she meet a famed MasterSwordsman above her level like Cassius or Arios, she is prone to doing this, unless said swordsman is an Arseid.
* SwordPointing: Does this quite often, [[spoiler:even towards her master when they end up fighting against one another in ''Cold Steel IV''.]]
* TeethClenchedTeamwork:
** [[spoiler:At the beginning of ''Cold Steel IV'' by virtue of being paired with [[TheGadfly Crow]]. She later comes to appreciate her time with Class VII for granting her some CharacterDevelopment and the opportunity to show her master how much she's grown. ]]
** [[spoiler:Meanwhile in ''Reverie'', circumstances lead her to assist Rufus (despite him being the one to kill her master) in solving Crossbell's occupation. While she is hesitant to work with him, she puts up with it as there's more important things going on that do require his help. At the end of the game, she visits the hospital and hands him a fruit basket as while she has witnessed his CharacterDevelopment firsthand, there is no way she will let him die before she can avenge Lianne by defeating him in a duel.]]
* TheMagnificent: The Swift, her RedBaron title, which refers to [[LightningBruiser her nimble swordplay.]]
* ToBeAMaster: Just like Rean, Laura and Kurt, Duvalie follow the "path of the sword" and is devoted to reaching the pinnacle of martial arts her master represent.
* ToBeLawfulOrGood: A anti-villain example.[[spoiler:Duvalie spent her time between the end of ''Cold Steel III'' and ''Cold Steel IV'' Fragment processing whathever keeping her UndyingLoyalty to Arianrhod in the face of the Great Twilight (the Lawful option) or staying true to her beliefs and siding against the approaching apocalypse by her lonesome (the Good option). After a push from Crow, she chooses the Good option.]]
* TookALevelInKindness: By the time of ''Cold Steel IV'' [[spoiler:and following her association with Class VII and the Radiant Wings, she tones down her irritable behaviour a bit and is shown to be able to have others interactions apart from shouting at people.]]
* TrueCompanions: Despite the two of them being OutOfFocus, she share an deep friendship with Ines and Ennea.
* {{Tsundere}}: [[spoiler:Despite the few times she sided with the heroes, she keeps insisting that she is no friend of them. This also extends to Rufus in ''Reverie'' where she hands him a fruit basket during the ending to wish him a fast recovery in order to duel him.]]
* UnderestimatingBadassery: When she faces Rean during ''Cold Steel II'' Intermission, she immediately assume that Rean's claim to Alfin that he should be able to force his way through is no more than empty bravado, unlike Bleublanc who actually take the hint that Rean has an ace up his sleeve. She is proven wrong a few seconds later when Rean master Spirit Unification and prove himself to be a match for the both of them.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Arianrhod. Duvalie will follow Arianrhod to the end of Zemuria, partially because Arianrhod is both her ParentalSubstitute and [[TheHerosIdol life model]]. [[spoiler:The loyalty extend even after Lianne's demise, as the Stahlritter decide to remain in Ouroboros as a way of carrying her legacy, despite essentially running out of reasons to.]]
* UnknownRival: She absolutely ''loathes'' the Arseid family and is always eager to fight Laura and belittle her family when given the chance. Laura doesn't really care and is quite bewildered about the whole deal.
** [[spoiler:She tones it down a bit by ''Cold Steel IV''.]]
* UnstoppableRage: During ''Reverie'', [[spoiler:the moment she recognize C as Rufus Albarea, she instantly try to kill him and cannot be reasoned with until Rufus defeat her in a DuelBoss.]]
* UnwantedRescue: [[spoiler:If she is healed or assisted with Cheer during Cold Steel IV and Reverie, one of her lines is telling her helper that she can manage without their help.]]
* VillainForgotToLevelGrind: Though she's still strong in her own right, it's apparent that by the time of ''Cold Steel III'' she hasn't really improved all that much during the time between II and III. As a result of this , the original Class VII members are now capable of standing off against her on even footing with Rean himself being potentially better than her. She's aware of this too, as she goes from looking down on Rean and Laura to treating them like dangerous opponents worthy of her time.
* VillainsOutShopping: During ''Cold Steel II'', the first time you can encounter her is when she is dining in Legram's inn.
* VillainRespect: Even if she praise her master as the strongest there is, she isn't ashamed of commending an opponent strength and gives them the respect they deserve. [[spoiler:This is her main issue with Alberich blowing up the Courageous with Victor still inside.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: A more subdued exemple that other characters, but it is hard to talk about Duvalie without mentionning [[spoiler:that she pull a HeelFaceTurn during ''Cold Steel IV''.]]
* WhatTheHellAreYou: Her reaction following her fight with Spirit Unification Rean during ''Cold Steel II'' Intermission.
* TheWorfEffect: During ''Cold Steel II'' despite not losing the fight per se, she and Bleublanc serve as this during the Intermission in order to show that Rean using Spirit Unification is able to punch way above his weight by matching them in a fight alone while he need the help of Class VII to do so before.
* WorfHadTheFlu: The only reason she loses to Class VII in Aurochs Fort during ''Cold Steel II'' was because she just came back from Stargazer Tower where she fought the SSS without any break.
* WorthyOpponent: She considers both Rean & Laura to be this by the time of ''Cold Steel III''.[[spoiler:Post HeelFaceTurn, Laura becomes her regular training partner and goes as far as calling her a friend, with Duvalie being shown to return the sentiment in their link-attack victory in ''Reverie''.]]
* YouKilledMyFather: [[spoiler:She naturally took Rufus's murder of [[ParentalSubstitute Arianrhod]] very personally. She was content with leaving him rot in a cell after his arrest, but wasted no time infiltrating Crossbell upon learning that he supposedly took over Crossbell, fully intending to kill him this time. She tones it down by the end of ''Reverie'' after witnessing his CharacterDevelopment firsthand, though she insists on challenging him to duels until she can best him in combat.]]

Introduced as the right-hand man of the former mayor of Ruan, Dalmore, he winds up joining Ouroboros as an enhanced jaeger.
----
* AmbitionIsEvil: He's willing to resort to all sorts of corruption and crime to get ahead in life, even if it means burning down an orphanage or taking his Alma Mater hostage.
* AssholeVictim: His knees are shot at by [[spoiler:the Intelligence Division soldiers]], and [[spoiler:Campanella]] roasts him both figuratively and literally. Of course, he could have avoided all of this if he wasn't ruled by his selfish ambitions.
* TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:Reappears in ''Cold Steel IV'' as the commander of an enhanced jaeger squad, after many out-of-universe years of not knowing what happened to him after ''The 3rd''.]]
* ButtMonkey: [[spoiler:To all of Ouroboros, who know that he's Campanella's personal chew toy. He also manages to get himself imprisoned by unintelligent monsters multiple times throughout the events of ''The 3rd''. To add insult to injury, he loses an aerial dogfight to the Capua family, the GoldfishPoopGang of ''FC''.]]
* CharacterCatchphrase: "I am an elite, damn it!"
* {{Determinator}}: [[spoiler:His boss fight in ''Cold Steel IV'' at Eryn has him fight against the party on foot despite them destroying his G-Apache.]]
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In ''FC'', the reveal of his [[BitchInSheepsClothing true nature]] and [[WouldHurtAChild crimes]] was played entirely seriously, and his scheming forms a crucial part of Chapter 2's story. Then he returned in ''SC'' as a new recruit of Ouroboros, surrounded by ''far'' more dangerous individuals yet still thinking of himself as a genuine threat. Since then, he's consistently been portrayed as hopelessly out of his league and a strong contender for the ultimate ButtMonkey of the series.
* DragonWithAnAgenda: Combined with TheStarscream. During his days as Dalmore's steward, he secretly planned to usurp the mayor.
* EnemyMine: At the end of ''the 3rd'', he helps the party invade Phantasmagoria because they're his only hope of escaping Phantasma.
* EveryoneHasStandards: [[spoiler:In a sidequest in ''Cold Steel IV'', he is unnerved when a curse-manipulated officer nearly guns down Marquis Hyarms and Count Egret for being traitors to the nation.]]
* FutureCopter: He eventually becomes the pilot of a G-Apache, one of Ouroboros' advanced Archaisms. In one of the arena matches in ''the 3rd'', he'll directly pilot G-Apache rather than fight alongside it like he did in the prologue.
* FormerlyFat: Implied, given the book he wrote.
* HiddenDepths: He wrote and published a book called "From Fat to Fit" at some point.
* IFightForTheStrongestSide: Since Ouroboros practically rules the world from the shadows, Gilbert joins them in hopes of getting a slice of their pie. Needless to say, this plan isn't really working out for him.
* ISurrenderSuckers: He has ''weaponized'' this as one of his Crafts. Humorously, it doesn't do much damage, but does debuff the target's strength - [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain by being so pathetic that his enemies lose the will to hurt him]]. [[spoiler:Alternatively, he throws a grenade while he's too close to the target, resulting in ''him'' being hit by the blast too.]]
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: He is often defeated in humiliating ways and is treated as a joke by enemies and allies alike despite being part of a nearly [[InvincibleVillain invincible]] NGOSuperpower.
* LaughablyEvil: His failures are amusing, though he'll still stick with Ouroboros in the hopes of gaining glory.
* {{Leitmotif}}:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QohzIEHmJZk "I've Forgotten You"]] in ''The 3rd'', used to represent his status as comic relief.
** [[spoiler:"Blue Stardust" plays once in ''Cold Steel IV'' and twice in ''Reverie'', all during fights where Gilbert pilots his G-Apache.]]
* MilesGloriosus: He really does like to brag about how great he thinks he is.
* MookPromotion: Gilbert was somewhat forgettable in ''FC'', but then gains minor prominence in the society and an expanded role in ''SC''. In your first battle against him, he is barely more powerful than the mooks with him. By the third battle, he's definitively stronger than other jaegers, but still weaker than your individual party members.
* RecurringBoss:
** You fight Gilbert three times in ''SC''. The first is a pseudo HopelessBossFight (actually more of a challenge boss), the second is optional, and the final is in the final dungeon.
** In ''The 3rd'', he's the boss of the prologue alongside his G-Apache and he shows up in Sun Door 1 as a minigame boss.
** He also shows up as a boss in [[spoiler:''Cold Steel IV'' and is battled three times, one of them being in an optional quest at Eryn.]]
** In ''Reverie'', he has two back-to-back boss fights in [[spoiler:Cedric's Daydream episode, once on foot and once in his G-Apache]].
* SmugSnake: Most of his appearances are just a cycle of him getting smug about moving up in the world through illegal means, and then paying the price for his actions.
* SoreLoser: In ''Reverie'', he refuses to accept defeat against Cedric and attacks the latter with his G-Apache even after the Enforcer test is over. Cedric just ends up winning again anyways.
* SupportPartyMember: What he tends to be in most of his fights. He's actually fairly good at it, too, since he's always surrounded by jaegers more competent than him who could use his buffs and healing, which helps to explain why he's ever in command of a unit. Really, if he stuck to his strengths as a buffer and a pilot, he'd be a lot more genuinely threatening.
* TankGoodness: [[spoiler:His DualBoss fight in ''Cold Steel IV'' at Eryn has him piloting his G-Apache and accompanying him is an automated Achtzen tank.]]
* TimeBomb: His mines, which he'll set randomly on the map every few rounds.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: According to Dean Collins, Gilbert used to be a WideEyedIdealist who wanted to use his academic knowledge for good. Then he met Mayor Dalmore, who taught him that political power and status are the only things that matter.
* VillainDecay: He started out as a genuine BitchInSheepsClothing who presented an affable face while conspiring with Mayor Dalmore to ''burn down and seize an orphanage''. His scheming led to a jaeger assault that proved to be a genuine threat for Estelle and Joshua to handle. By the time of ''SC'', he was clearly a GloryHound who [[SmallNameBigEgo couldn't back up his egomaniacal gloating]], but he remained a competent fighter who could keep Estelle on her toes. By the time of [[spoiler:his return in ''Cold Steel IV'', he's ''far'' down the totem pole in terms of the kinds of threats the heroes are facing, and even admits to his own jaegers that he's putting up a cocky front while secretly being ''terrified'' of people like Randy Orlando.]]
* VillainForgotToLevelGrind: He ''claims'' he's stronger than before each time you fight him but he's not really. [[ConservationOfCompetence However, his backup does tend to get progressively better.]]

----
* ContinuityCameo: [[spoiler:He makes a brief appearance during the ending slideshow of the first ''Daybreak'' game.]]
* EveryoneHasStandards: He may be a member of the Thirteen Factories, but he disapproves of Novartis putting Renne through painful procedures to make her compatible with Pater-Mater.
* TokenGoodTeammate: He's flat-out ''helpful'' to the SSS in ''Azure'', even giving them advice on how to stop Ouroboros' plans in Crossbell, simply because Novartis' actions and the Red Constellation attack on Arc-en-Ciel were a step too far.

The Gordias-class archaisms created by the Thirteen Factories, serving as successors to Pater Mater.
----
* FragileSpeedster: Type-β is the fastest of the Aions, but its armor is also the thinnest.
* HumongousMecha: Ranging from around 16-20 meters, these robots are noticeably bigger than most of the others seen in the ''VideoGame/TrailsSeries''.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Descent of the Aions" plays during the originals' first appearance in ''Azure''.
* MightyGlacier: Type-γ is the largest of the Aions, and has notable power and defense, but doesn't seem to have much in the way of speed.
* OneHitKill: In ''Cold Steel III'', Type-α II takes several turns to charge up for Phantom Ender Gomorios, which inflicts All-Cancel and Vanish on the entire party. This cannot be survived no matter what buffs the party has.
* PaletteSwap [[spoiler:In ''Cold Steel IV'', the Salt Pillars have different colored variants of each successor Aion to serve as bosses. They include a black Type-γ II (for Estelle, Joshua, Agate, Tita, and Renne), a gold Type-β II (for Duvalie, Ennea, Ines, Xeno, and Leonidas), and a red Type-α II (for Aurelia, Victor, Vita, and Toval).]]
* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:Type-α is the only one of the original Aions to survive ''Azure''.]]
** [[spoiler:Likewise in ''Cold Steel IV'', while Valimar and Ordine defeat Type-γ II and Type-β II with [[CombinationAttack Union Slash: Deadly Domination]], Type-α II is never dealt with.]]
* SuperPrototype: [[spoiler:By the time of ''Cold Steel III'', Novartis has made successor machines to all 3 of them, and they all serve as bosses for Rean in Valimar. However, while strong, without the Sept-Terrion to empower them, he is able to defeat them with the help of Kurt (for Type-γ II), Juna (for Type-β II), and Ash and Musse (for Type-α II)]].
* TheUnfought: [[spoiler:The original Types β and γ. Type-β is destroyed by Kevin using his Stigma, whilst Type-γ was [[TakingYouWithMe taken out alongside]] Pater Mater.

** In ''Daybreak'', [[spoiler:the Armata organization is so evil that Ouroboros is willing to team up with the Bracers, Heiyue, two high ranking jaeger groups, the Dominions, Ikaruga, and even Arkride Solutions Office just to take them down. [[PragmaticVillainy Though they make clear that they're not doing this out of any goodness of their hearts; it's just that Armata's antics are starting to get in the way of their own plans.]]]]

* CombatPragmatist: During ''Daybreak'' Chapter 5, [[spoiler:he intends to use chemical weapons to kill all of the other teams in one fell swoop during Armata's BattleRoyale.]]

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Somebody with a nickname like Thousand Oathbreaker sounds like the least trust-worthy person you can meet, [[spoiler:though it didn't stop him from being a reliable ally during the battle against Armata.]]

[[/folder]]

* AnIcePerson: One of her Crafts, Eternal Winter, surrounds her targets in ice. The primary element of her orbment is also water.

* PurposelyOverpowered: [[spoiler:While she's decently strong on her own, her Brave Order in ''Cold Steel IV'', Secret Art - Azure Peacock, allows all characters a flat 100% increase in damage for eight turns, effectively doubling their attack power. She's only available for her dungeon's boss and the TrueFinalBoss fight. It's balanced by the fact that it costs 5 Brave Points to cast but at that point, players already have ways to regain BP pretty quickly.]]

* ElementalPowers: Her crafts include elemental slashes that inflict status ailments.
** AnIcePerson: Inflicts freeze status.
** PlayingWithFire: Inflicts burn status.
** ShockAndAwe: Inflicts paralysis status.

'''Ouroboros''', also known as '''The Society''', is one of the most prominent and recurring organizations in the ''VideoGame/TrailsSeries''. They play a major role and have appearing members in each of the series (thus far) four arcs: the ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky Trails in the Sky arc]]'' in Liberl, the ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsFromZeroAndTrailsToAzure Zero/Azure duology]]'' in Crossbell, the ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel Trails of Cold Steel arc]]'' in Erebonia, and the ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsThroughDaybreak Kuro no Kiseki arc]]'' in Calvard.

* IceMagicIsWater: Her secondary element is [[MakingASplash water]] and her Frozen Prison Craft has her encasing the enemy in ice to inflict magic damage.

* AmbiguousGender: While Campanella has a masculine appearance and is referred to with male pronouns in the English localization, the Japanese version uses more gender-neutral terms and pronouns and his official sources list his gender as "Male(?)" or "Unknown". This extends to his voice; his Japanese voice is more feminine, while his English voice is more masculine (albeit high-pitched).

* AmbiguousGender: He looks and dresses like a boy, but his Japanese VA is female and his gender has always been listed as either 'Male (?)' or 'Unknown' in official sources.
* AmbiguouslyGay: Campanella speaks and dresses in a very flamboyant manner, has a female VA in Japanese, jokes about swapping skin-care tips with Joshua, and even dresses up in drag when hosting one of the (non-canon) quiz events in ''The 3rd''.

* VaporWare: Her dress from the first two ''Cold Steel'' games revealed enough of her [[SexyBacklessOutfit back]] and [[CleavageWindow cleavage]] exposed to make it clear that she isn't wearing a bra.

* CelebrityMasquerade: She is a HotWiitch and Anguis who moonlights as Erebonia's top opera star and as a popular radio personality.

* CoolBigSis: She was this towards Emma when they were younger. Even now, though they're on opposing sides, it's clear that Vita still cares for the former in her own way and is willing to give her advice too. Emma, for her part, still calls Vita "[[UsefulNotes/JapaneseSiblingTerminology Nee-san]]" in the Japanese script.

* SiblingYinYang: She and her adoptive younger sister Emma are near opposites in terms of personality and roles. Emma is shown to be a reserved ReluctantFanserviceGirl, lacking confidence, and finds herself frequently out of the loop. Vita, meanwhile, is a very confident Anguis who is comfortable with her looks (to the point of being TheTease at some points) and is very knowledgeable about what goes on behind the scenes in regards to the origins of the Hexen Clan and other parts of the supernatural. Fittingly, the two have opposite Orbal elements, with Emma having [[PlayingWithFire Fire]] as her secondary element while Vita has [[MakingASplash Water]] as her secondary element, the same as the secondary elements of the corresponding Awakeners they're [[ShipTease rather close too]].

* BreathWeapon: During her boss fight and when playable, one of her Crafts has her summon [[{{Familiar}} Grianos]] in his OneWingedAngel form who then breathes a gust of chilling air at the enemy.

* FireWaterJuxtaposition: She and her adoptive younger sister Emma are near opposites in terms of personality and roles and fittingly enough also have have opposite Orbal elements, with Emma having [[PlayingWithFire Fire]] as her secondary element while Vita has [[MakingASplash Water]] as her secondary element (which also happen to be the same secondary elements of the corresponding Awakeners they're [[ShipTease rather close too]]).

* SuperEmpowering: Near the end of ''Cold Steel II'', she casts a spell to empower Crow's weapon enough that he could stagger the Vermillion Apocalypse with his [[SwordBeam Deadly Cross]], with the latter's comment indicating that she likely used it to help him clear the trials to become Ordine's Awakener. [[spoiler:She and Roselia also cast the same spell on Aurelia, Victor, Matteus, Vandyck, Wallace so they could deflect the Retributive Tower's WaveMotionGun.]]

* SiblingYinYang: She and her younger sister Emma are near opposites in terms of personality and roles. Emma is shown to be a reserved ReluctantFanserviceGirl, lacking confidence, and finds herself frequently out of the loop. Vita, meanwhile, is a very confident Anguis who is comfortable with her looks (to the point of being TheTease at some points) and is very knowledgeable about what goes on behind the scenes in regards to the origins of the Hexen Clan and other parts of the supernatural. Fittingly, the two have opposite Orbal elements, with Emma having [[PlayingWithFire Fire]] as her primary element while Vita has [[MakingASplash Water]] as her secondary element, the same as the secondary elements of the corresponding Awakeners they're [[ShipTease rather close too]].
* SignatureScent: She smells of lavender, as noted by Rean and Emma.

* DeathGlare: Gives a FRIGHTENING one to Duke Cayenne after [[SpeakIllOfTheDead insults the recently killed Crow]] while holding Prince Cedric at blade point, complete with glowing BattleAura and [[PowerEchoes booming voice]].

* EnemyMine: In ''Cold Steel II'', she and Crow team up with Class VII to defeat the out-of-control Vermillion Apocalypse.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: When the Anguis discuss Weissman's death, she, Arianrhod, and the 1st Anguis consider him an AssholeVictim. And then there's Ymir where she thinks it was too much for Duke Albarea to raze Ymir just to grab Princess Alfin.

* NoSell: Casting fire on him is useless as he's immune to it and fire is his main weapon anyway. [[spoiler:His final battle in ''Cold Steel IV'' has him [[LastChanceHitPoint survive any lethal attacks with 1 HP left]] and then putting up a barrier that negates all attacks. Fortunately, the game prompts players to summon Valimar after a few turns where Millium comments that she could do something about it.]]

* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: Averted. Two of the three most powerful characters confirmed to be in the Society [[AlmightyJanitor are Enforcers]], and not Anguis.
* AncientConspiracy: Averted. While some members are very old, the organisation itself was formed relatively recently, and is now muscling its way onto the stage among actual ancient societies.

* IControlMyMinionsThrough: Averted. With the exception of Campanella, who acts like an observer of sorts for the Grandmaster, all of the Enforcers are free to do whatever they wish - they have no obligation to obey orders given to them by the Anguis, or even by the Grandmaster, and are even free to drop out of the organization if they wish (and a few of them have). It has been [[LampshadeHanging acknowledged by characters in-game]] to be peculiar that Ouroboros can function despite this. This is, however, played straight with certain Ouroboros members such as Weissmann, who was the main villain of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky'' and had no qualms about using brainwashing and emotional manipulation to keep people in line.

* PromotedToPlayable: [[spoiler:Averted; while the first ''Daybreak'' game showed him as playable in one of its pre-release videos, the player never actually gets to control him.]]

* BrokenPedestal: Averted. [[spoiler:Despite her own shock at the consequences of the Great Twilight and the fact that her master is completely willing to allow it, Duvalie temporarily secede from the Stahlritter while still worshipping the ground Arianrhod walks on. She uses her leave as a way to correct the situation she has enabled and trying to reconcile the dissonance between her interpreation of Arianrhod's character and the reason that could push her to such extreme. Event]]

* BootstrappedLeitmotif: During the Intermission of ''Kuro II'', "Diabolic Howl," a theme from the previous game that plays for [[spoiler:battles related to "Pandemonium,"]] is used exclusively for the fight against Lucrezia, Walter, and [[spoiler:"Cross-Renne."]] Given how said piece partially uses the melody of "Maybe It Was Fated," an existing {{Leitmotif}} for the Enforcers, it's quite fitting.

* AnIcePerson: One of her Crafts, "Eternal Winter," surrounds her targets in ice. The primary element of her orbment is also water.

* LimitBreak: Her S-Craft is "Aria of the Abyss."

* PurposelyOverpowered: [[spoiler:While she's decently strong on her own, her Brave Order in ''Cold Steel IV'', "Secret Art - Azure Peacock," allows all characters a flat 100% increase in damage for eight turns, effectively doubling their attack power. She's only available for her dungeon's boss and the TrueFinalBoss fight. It's balanced by the fact that it costs 5 Brave Points to cast but at that point, players already have ways to regain BP pretty quickly.]]
** In ''Reverie'', [[spoiler:while the turn limit for her Brave Order lasts only for four turns, she's one of the two characters who has access to the "Art Boost IV" passive link ability where she can bestow whoever's linked with her double the damage when the one linked with her is casting arts. The only drawback is that she and the character linked with her have to be at link level 6.]]

* LimitBreak: His S-Craft is "Another Dimension."

A former member of the "Order of the Moonlight Horse" who, alongside Sharon and Lucrezia, joined Ouroboros after it destroyed the Order. He is now the Society's Fourth Anguis, otherwise known as the "Thousand Oathbreaker."

* CigarFuseLighting: His "Hazard Cigar" Craft sees him toss his cigar at some purple smoke he blew towards his opponents, triggering an explosion.

* GreaterScopeVillain: As he admits during his and Lucrezia's formal introduction, he's the one behind the creation of "Garden," combining the remnants of the "Order of the Moonlight Horse" with those of the [[spoiler:"D∴G Cult".]] Every negative action committed by said organization only happened because he couldn't be bothered to keep an eye on them.

* LimitBreak: ''Kuro II'' gives him "Umbra Nordens" as his S-Craft.
* MeaningfulName: Being called the "Thousand Oathbreaker" is pretty fitting for a man who take delight in breaking any rules he can.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Somebody with a nickname like "Thousand Oathbreaker" sounds like the least trust-worthy person you can meet, [[spoiler:though it didn't stop him from being a reliable ally during the battle against Armata.]]

* PhlebotinumPills: His "DROP-00 Z" Craft has him bite into a spherical pill, restoring some of his HP and boosting all of his stats.

* FallenHero: Once she was Lianne Sandlot, a heroic legend of Erebonian history who joined forces with Dreichels the Lionheart to put an end to the "War of the Lions". Over 250 years later however, she joined Ouroboros (a terrorist organization) and becomes one of the highest ranking members of the Society in addition to being one of its two strongest fighters. [[spoiler:Subverted, however, as she joined for the sake of destroying the curse of Erebonia.]]

* LimitBreak: Her S-Craft in both ''Azure'' and the later ''Cold Steel'' games is "Grand Cross." [[spoiler:Also her finishing move when piloting Argreion.]]

* LimitBreak: In ''Azure'', his S-Craft is "False Salt Pale."

* LimitBreak: In all 3 ''Sky'' games, he has the S-Craft "Demon Flames." The latter 2 games also give him "Sword of Abaddon."

A former assassin in the "Order of the Moonlight Horse," she, alongside Sharon and Ellroy, joined the Society after it destroyed the Order, becoming Enforcer No. III, the "Golden Butterfly."

* LifeDrain: One of the secondary effects of her "Golden Butterfly" Craft involves healing all of her allies.
* LimitBreak: After not getting an S-Craft in the first ''Daybreak'' game, the sequel gives her one in "Bijou de Verre."

** Both "Gullveig Pierce" and "Bijou de Verre" has her create holes in the ground for her to stab or drop her glaive into.
** Her "Yousei Genbu" Craft has her seemingly open a hole in space while she's slashing her opponents.
* SwordPlant: Her "Gullveig Pierce" Craft has her stick her glaive into the ground...or rather into a portal she made in the ground.

* BlowYouAway: Her S-Craft "Tempest Dance".

* LimitBreak: Her S-Craft is "Hellfire."

* LimitBreak: His S-Craft in the ''Sky'' games is "Ultimate Blow," which is replaced in ''Daybreak'' by "Alcatraz Blow."

The third survivor of the "Order of the Moonlight Horse", she went on hiatus when she was employed by the Reinford family, returning briefly to prevent Sara Valestein from helping Cassius Bright but otherwise staying away until she believed Franz Reinford had returned. [[spoiler:Defected to the Radiant Wings--as Sharon--after it was proven that Black Alberich was not Franz, leaving the Society permanently and becoming the first dropout whose desertion was neither directly nor indirectly Weissmann's fault.]]

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsFromZero'', he thanks Lloyd and his party for [[spoiler:helping out Renne]]. And as revealed in ''Cold Steel III'', he was pretty close with Vita which is why [[spoiler: when she went against Ouroboros for siding with the gnomes, he also decided not to partake in the recapture of the "Phantasmal Blaze Plan". In fact, he's not even fought in ''Cold Steel IV''; he's ''an ally instead''.]] Further, if Count Altheim is to be believed in ''Cold Steel IV,'' his [[spoiler: StartOfDarkness came about as a result of Bleublanc losing a lover.]]

* LimitBreak: His S-Craft, in both the ''Sky'' and ''Cold Steel'' games, is "Death Magic."

* CombinationAttack: She loses "Prism Calibur" in ''Cold Steel III'', and instead has joint S-Crafts with Ines and Ennea. One with each of them and one with all three attacking together.

* DoppelgangerAttack: Her S-Craft "Prism Caliber," complete with FlashStep.

* FireIceLightning: The three elements of her "Brand" crafts.

* LightningBruiser: In her case, it's literal in that she incorporates lightning in her attacks, especially with her S-Craft. [[spoiler:Her stats when playable also heavily enforces Strength and Speed. ''Reverie'' takes it up a notch as with a proper build and her improved "Lightning Sword" Brave Order, her "Swift Slash" attack can get a delay of ''1'' meaning that she can act again almost indefinitely. What makes her not that powerful and thus, the second coming of Alan Richard, is that the CP costs of her crafts in general are too expensive that she will easily run out of CP even with accessories and a Master Quartz that refills CP as they're so small to refill any of it.]]
* LimitBreak: Her S-Craft is "Prism Caliber."

* ImprobableAimingSkills: She possess ability "Magic Bow" which makes her always hits her target and change her arrow trajectory midair.

* CatchPhrase: "I am an elite, damn it!"
