* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Jirall is a real nasty piece of work, but it's also entirely possible that he did legitimately harbor legitimate feelings for Calista, as he never physically harms or intentionally demeans her and puts at least some effort into trying to come across as charming during his introduction, with Calista more rebuffing him because she finds his arrogance and cruelty towards ''everyone else'' disgusting. [[spoiler:His rant after he completely loses his sanity indicates that he legitimately doesn't know why Calista despises him so much.]]

Rated M For Manly is about works, not specific characters


** Lowell is very popular with the male fanbase, on account of being [[RatedMForManly manly enough to make]] [[RealMenWearPink lilac seem like the manliest colour ever]] and being a badass playboy with a surprising amount of HiddenDepths. Also? He wields frickin' ''[[AnIcePerson ice]]'' as his main element! Yes, that's right. Lowell is so badass that he makes the stereotypical "healer" element into an awesome offensive force.

** Sir Therius became this, mainly due to his CharacterDevelopment of initially despising all mercenaries to learning to trust and work with Zael and the main party, on top of having a FireForgedFriendship with Zael by the game's epilogue. His close bond with General Asthar also helped as well.

* ObviousJudas: [[spoiler:The fact that Dagran is the game's main villain is a secret easy to figure out. The multiple instances of foreshadowing that he was not exactly on Zael's side were so blatant the game basically tells you its him. Some of it includes the fact he is known to be a good manipulator by framing Jirall for Ashtar's death, he never has an alibi, and is missing during the entire final segment of the game up.]]

** General Asthar. Not only is TheMentor to both Therius and eventually Zael in the game, he's also one of the happiest, jolliest military-type characters you'll ever meet, [[spoiler: save for his tragic backstory as well as his Tearjerker-worthy death midgame]].

** [[spoiler: When Dagran dies, and the party goes to the grave they made for him at the end of the game and reminisce about him. Doubly so when they affirm that Dagran really just wanted the best for all of them.]]
** In the Epilogue, if Zael and Calista enter Count Arganan's office, Calista will mention a few notes about how she "never really talked" to her uncle, noting that he didn't really have anyone close to him like how she is with Zael. [[spoiler:Given this, as well as the PetTheDog moment that ensues with reading Arganan's journal full of regrets over using Calista as a pawn in his schemes in his journal, you can't help but feel at least a tiny bit bad for him, even if he was a terrible person.]]

* MagnificentBastard: [[TheManBehindTheMan Dagran]], hero Zael's [[BigBadFriend childhood friend]] and boss, after losing his family to the corrupt nobility, masterminded the Garuk and Lazulis war. Desiring his group's future and revenge, Dagran planned to get the Outsider's power to gain Count Arganam's support, but when Zael got it instead Dagran tried appealing him to the count, even pushing him to wed his niece Calista. While doing this, Dagran staged a Gurak invasion as cover to kill General Asthar, leader of the knights who killed his family, but when Zael was blamed for it, he framed Jirall, Calista's fiancé, to secure their marriage but when Zael denounce Arganam, Dagran realizing his plan has crumbled, decide to get the full power of the Outsider to reshape the world, manipulating the wielders Zangurak and Zael before taking the power for himself. Confronted by Zael's group, he reveals his entire plan to them before reluctantly battling them in a final fight, and after being cut down Dagran, in his last moments, reconciles with his team and resurrects Lowell with the last of his power. A crafty mercenary, Dagran's wit showed how he was able to be the one ruling everything.

** Syrenne is also pretty popular, as she's a legimate ActionGirl, to point of being the BigGuy of the mercenaries (and the best physical character), and like Lowell, possess HiddenDepths. Her being a very attractive, somewhat [[{{Stripperiffic}} stripperifficaly dressed]] (althought in a relatively realistic manner), and having strong implications of BiTheWay, also helps among the male (and [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer sometimes]] [[LGBTFanbase female]]) fanbase.
