* JurisdictionFriction: The Gralsritter and the Papal Guard are implied to butt heads with each other. [[spoiler:Sure enough, ''Daybreak'' sees two Dominions using Armata's Battle Royale as a means to square off with an Iscario squad.]]

A woman with a fiery disposition who, alongside her colleague Leon, arrives in Calvard in S.1208 to help deal with the mafia syndicate Armata.

A man with a cool head who, alongside his colleague Celis, arrives in Calvard in S.1208 to help deal with the mafia syndicate Armata.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: While he diligently fulfills his duty of hunting down heretics, this primarily comes from the idea the law failed to bring them to justice. If somebody else has a way of doing so without killing said heretic, he will step aside, especially if that somebody has a more personal reason for their actions. This is best seen in the first ''Daybreak'' game: [[spoiler:when he realizes that Elaine has every intention of arresting her father Edmond for sponsoring Armata ''and'' has the means to do so, Ashlad stands down and lets the Bracer take care of her personal business.]]

* JurisdictionFriction: The Gralsritter and the Papal Guard are implied to butt heads with each other. [[spoiler:Sure enough, ''Kuro I'' sees two Dominions using Armata's Battle Royale as a means to square off with an Iscario squad.]]

* IHaveManyNames: As revealed in ''Kuro I'', "Aidios" is merely what She's known by in the West. She is known as "Arusha, the Goddess of Wings" in Central Zemuria, and "Heavenly Mother"[[note]]天上聖母 "Tenjou Seibo"[[/note]] in the East.

** 'Dios' is the Spanish word for God. The full name also sounds like 'Adìos', which on top of being a common farewell, also means 'Go with God'

* AscendedExtra: She didn't get to participate in gameplay during ''Kuro I'', but a [[https://www.falcom.co.jp/kuro2/assets/gallery/images/06.webp promotional screenshot]] shows that she will in ''Kuro II''.
* AffectionateGestureToTheHead: [[spoiler:She does this to Gaius in the Dominion group shot in the ending of ''Kuro I''.]]

* BerserkButton: As Leon puts it, pointing out Celis's height and/or "baby face" will easily set or off. As such, she did not appreciate Walter referring to her as a "kid" during Chapter 4 of the first ''Kuro'' game.

* PromotedToPlayable: She went from an NPC in ''Kuro I'' to a playable character in ''Kuro II''.

** [[spoiler:Makes an appearance in ''Kuro'''s ending credits, along with the other named Dominions, during Bergard's visit to his former colleagues.]]

* InTheHood: He keeps his uniforms hood up for most of his appearances in ''Kuro I'' to better hide his face.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: While he diligently fulfills his duty of hunting down heretics, this primarily comes from the idea the law failed to bring them to justice. If somebody else has a way of doing so without killing said heretic, he will step aside, especially if that somebody has a more personal reason for their actions.

%%* ChildhoodFriends: With Ries and Rufina.

* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Ries can judge a person's character remarkably quickly after she met them in person, as demonstrated with Gilbert and [[spoiler: Renne.]] She can also sees through Kevin whenever he lies or is not being honest through a combination of this and being his ChildhoodFriend.

* BrutalHonesty: She's really blunt when it comes to describing unpleasant traits in people directly to their faces like when she says [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech how Gilbert is so full of himself]][[spoiler: [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech and how Renne is being a self-centered child despite her evident high intelligence]]]].

%%* ChildhoodFriends: With Kevin.

* CryIntoChest: [[spoiler: She cried into Kevin's chest after they killed Rufina's copy to ensure a second Phantasma couldn't come into being.]]

* SaintlyChurch: The Septian Church as a whole act as positives figures both in the plot of the series themselves and the lore. In almost every game the Church directly or indirectly helps the main characters.
** On top of that, the Septian Church doesn't particularly impose itself or its beliefs on populations. A big example is how the nomads of the Nord Highlands practice both Animism ''and'' worship the Goddess at the same time.

* ChildhoodFriends: With Ries and Rufina.

* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:His title "The Heretic Hunter" isn't a boast, it's a reminder. He ''wants'' to be punished for his perceived failure to prevent his mother's suicide and his accidental killing of Rufina and he willingly takes on all the worst jobs because of it.]]
** [[spoiler:Becomes TheAtoner over the course of ''The 3rd'', to the extent that his first appearance in ''Azure'' (he succeeds in saving someone from a situation where in the past he failed).]]

* TheEndingChangesEverything: [[spoiler:Isn't that right, Weissmann?]]

* TsurimeEyes: He has them. They get more pronounced in ''The 3rd''.

* YouAreWorthHell: [[spoiler: Him jumping after Ries into Gehenna is practically this.]]

** On a more serious note, she does not appreciate it when she's lied to. Especially from Kevin.

* ChildhoodFriends: With Kevin.

* TheCameo:
** [[spoiler:Makes an appearance in ''Cold Steel IV'', attending Olivert's wedding and reeling Ries from eating more.]]
** [[spoiler:In ''Reverie'' he is piloting one of the ships with the calvary in the finale, though he [[TheGhost is not seen in person]].]]
** [[spoiler:Makes an appearance in ''Kuro'''s ending credits, along with the other named Dominions, during Bergard's visit to his former colleagues.]]

* TheCameo: [[spoiler:In ''Cold Steel IV'', eating as usual at Olivert's wedding.]]

* ChurchMilitant: Like Kevin, she's a member of the Gralsritter.

* TheGhost: [[spoiler:While not being seen in person, their Merkabah is seen participating in the attack on Reverse Babel during ''Reverie''.]]

* TheGhost: While he wasn't seen in person, his Merkabah is seen [[spoiler:participating in the attack on Reverse Babel]] during ''Reverie'', which he references in ''Kuro I''.

* {{Keigo}}: He always speaks politely and formally, adding the UsefulNotes/{{Japanese Honorific|s}} "-san" to the names of most people he interacts with.

* {{Leitmotif}}: "Heavenly Chariot" from ''Azure'' serves as the theme for the Dominions' personal airships, the Merkabahs, being used both in said game as well as ''Cold Steel IV''.

The head of the Gralsritter and [[spoiler:the inspiration for the fictional character Carnelia]]
