!!The Enforcers
A BadassCrew of operatives who execute Ouroboros plots. Each of the Enforcers is assigned a number, but unlike the Anguis, their number is displayed in Roman Numerals. As per the Society's code, the Enforcers are not bound to the will of others and are granted complete freedom.

!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.]]

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.

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]].

Knowing he's almost certainly been disinherited because he sided with a dictator who unleashed a curse over the Empire and unable to face his family due to the Gnomes' failed attempt to assassinate Olivert, Cedric has run away from Heimdallr to join Ouroboros.

----
* 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.]]

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.

-->'''Appearances''': ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsThroughDaybreak Daybreak]]'' | ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsThroughDaybreak Kuro II]]''
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.
* GuestStarPartyMember: [[spoiler:She can become a non-playable ally in Chapter 5 ''Daybreak'' depending on the player's choices. She'll do it again, this time by default, during ''Kuro II'' Chapter 2A.]]
* HiddenEyes: The veil on her hat normally prevents her eyes from being seen in her normal attire.
* 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.
--> '''Walter:''' You GET why they call me the 'Direwolf,' right? I don't hold back for women or kids. Or both.

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]].

She wreaked havoc in Crossbell in the run-up to the independence referendum and became one of President Crois' most loyal enforcers [[spoiler:until Mariabell betrayed him]], though she chafed at the lack of action resulting from the Aions.

Knowing he's almost certainly been disinherited because he sided with a dictator who unleashed a curse over the Empire and unable to face his family due to the Gnomes' failed attempt to assassinate Olivert, Cedric has run away from Heimdallr to join Ouroboros. Rumour has it that the disgraced Crown Prince may have become an Enforcer, with his Episode in ''Reverie'' showing him teleporting using an Orbment with "XIX" on the cover.
