History Characters / ValkyriaChroniclesIII

* KickTheSonOfABitch: The officer she educated before getting herself hauled to the Nameless wasn't exactly a pleasant person.

* DoomedByCanon: [[spoiler:Because of the 1st game already shows how Selvaria died, Imca will never be able to fulfill her vengeance of killing her. She tries to off herself upon hearing this revelation to chase her down to hell, but was stopped by Kurt to not waste Selvaria's parting words.]]

* SinisterMinister: A high religious prelate who speaks of wanting to ease the suffering of war, [[spoiler:but who is working behind the scenes to prolong the war into a bloody stalemate. By doing this he intends to make people turn away from their governments and follow him instead. If necessary he is willing to destroy whole cities full of innocent civilians with weapons of mass destruction in order to make his plan succeed.]]

** Ends up on the receiving end when he [[spoiler:eventually gets busted for treason and is on the verge of confessing to his and Borgia's plot: Borgia orders Dahau to blow up Randgriz before Isler has a chance to squeal, a mission which Gusurg ends up attempting in Dahau's stead but which fails to kill Isler.]]

* EscortMission: Chapter 4 is devoted to this for him.
* WalkingSpoiler: Just from chapter 4, he looks like a normal man that is the head of a whole religion. [[spoiler:From chapter 12 onwards, it's revealed that he is pulling all the strings he can to extend the war and make people search some comfort in the Yggdism (and him, obviously)]].
* MeaningfulName: He is named Gennaro '''Borgia'''. Anyone who knows some history will raise some eyebrows.

A member of the Gallian Army and the officer who sent Kurt to join Squad 422.

* DisproportionateRetribution: [[spoiler:Kurt gave Isler a missing letter. With fear that Kurt may have read said letter, Isler sent Kurt to the Nameless squad expecting him to die]].

* BoobsOfSteel: She continues the seeming VC tradition of [[spoiler:Valkyria being both effective and well-endowed]]

* BoobsOfSteel: Has very pronounced racks, and her preferred classes should tell you how formidable she is.

* {{Expy}}: Not of anyone in particular, but his character design shares a lot with [[Anime/TigerAndBunny Kotetsu]] and [[Anime/LagrangeTheFlowerOfRinne Villagiulio]]: a 30-something rogue-ish man with a particular style of beard and BadassCape. [=VC3=] was released around the time such design become popular.

* WhipItGood: And poor Alfons Auclair is the frequent target of her riding crop. Later, Giulio and even Kurt become her victims.

* ChristmasCake: 29 years old and still unmarried, still she has implied to have had one night stands with other men for information.

* {{Stripperiffic}}: She isn't showing [[BareYourMidriff off her middle]] but her military uniform is quite unprofessional.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: That giant machine guns has got to be good for something. When you fight him in the FinalBattle, he's ''literally'' invincible. [[spoiler:Subverted. By that point, he's just the leader of a rogue Darcssen force without any Imperial rank.]]

* {{Pride}}: She doesn't like giving her all in battle, since it would put her on the same level as her subordinates.[[spoiler:This in turn makes the first fight against Echidna simply a ThatOneLevel instead of HopelessBossFight.]]

* IntergenerationalFriendship: Especially with Annika: most of the time they are together, and Gloria is constantly showing his cynical side to Annika's idealistic view of the world.

* NonUniformUniform: None of The Nameless wear a standardized uniform outside of Kurt. According to her dossier, Carisa is responsible for this, outfitting everyone based on her fashion sense. Narratively, this serves as a visual representation of the 422nd's outcast nature compared to the rest of the Gallian armed forces, including the militia.

* DarkSkinnedBlond: One of the few member with dark skin. This was done so new players can recognize him easily from Giulio, since both characters are one of the first ones to show up.

** Also to Felix, who is a "fellow" DarkSkinnedBlonde. Felix has a lot of friends, and cares deeply about them. Lydia has no friends, and cares nothing about her people.

%%* KnifeNut: She executes an imperial in the anime like this.

* CryCute: The ending of his Fragment mission. No, really. [[spoiler:He cries tears of joy after Kurt helps him to overcome his DeathSeeker nature]].
