| 7 | !!Ophilia's Route |
| 8 | [[folder:Lianna Clement]] |
| 9 | !!Lianna |
| 10 | !!!'''Voiced By:''' Creator/AyumiTsunematsu (Japanese), Creator/EricaMendez (English) |
| 11 | Ophilia's adoptive sister, and daughter of the Archbishop. |
| 12 | ---- |
| 13 | * AffectionateNickname: Ophilia calls her "Anna". |
| 14 | * AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler:While Ophilia undoubtedly loves Lianna (and Josef) with all her heart, Lianna's relationship with her adopted sister is more ambiguous, in part because of Japanese culture's ideas of adoption. She refers to Josef as "my father" instead of "our father", which conveys to Ophilia that a social hierarchy exists in her mind regarding her and Ophilia's places in the family. Once Josef dies, Lianna--completely devastated by his death--is willing to drug Ophilia with a sleeping draught and steal Aelfric's Lanthorn out of desperation to resurrect him, which Mattias--during his and Ophilia's third BossBanter--cites as proof that she had never considered Ophilia family. On the other hand, she was the one who originally reached out to Ophilia when Ophilia was first adopted, she tries to convince Ophilia to leave Wispermill rather than risk coming into conflict with her, and, with some convincing, allows Ophilia to reach out to her and comfort her in the end.]] |
| 15 | -->'''[[spoiler:Mattias]]:''' [[spoiler:The desire to revive her dear father meant far more to Lianna than your fragile bonds of sisterhood. You were never her true family. Admit it! One such as you cannot save her from her sorrow and despair.]]\ |
| 16 | '''[[spoiler:Ophilia]]:''' [[spoiler:I was once saved by her kindness, and her love. She pulled me out of the darkness I had shut myself away in. This time, I will save her! I will not lose to you!]] |
| 17 | * AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: Even in flashbacks to when Ophilia was first adopted, Lianna's mother was nowhere to be seen. Given Lianna's difficulty [[spoiler:in coping with her father's death]], her mother likely died when she was too young to remember. |
| 18 | * AmbiguouslyEvil: [[spoiler:She is so devastated by her father's death that, even after the Savior reveals that the true purpose of the ritual she initiated while longing for her father's resurrection is to drain the life force of Wispermill's inhabitants in exchange for power from Galdera to TakeOverTheWorld, all she can think about is her desire to see her father again, until Ophilia reminds her of her father's words on death. As a result, it's unclear if she would have gone through with stealing the ember if the Savior had already told her that his ritual would offer people's lives to Galdera as payment.]] |
| 19 | * AntiVillain: [[spoiler:Once Josef dies, Lianna [[DespairEventHorizon falls into despair]] and allies herself with [[DarkMessiah the]] [[ArcVillain Savior]] in a desperate attempt to bring Josef back to life. She also [[ApologeticAttacker apologizes for using a sleeping agent to knock Ophilia out to steal the ember]].]] |
| 20 | * TheAtoner: [[spoiler:After completing Ophilia's story, Lianna is noted to no longer be trusted by the people of Flamesgrace due to her willing involvement with cultists. Lianna understands their feelings and is working to get them to trust her again.]] |
| 21 | * CoolBigSis: To Ophilia by adoption, though the two are roughly the same age. When Ophilia was brought into the family, Lianna made it her personal mission to be the best big sister ever and get the severely traumatized Ophilia to open up. As a result, the two remain close well into adulthood. |
| 22 | * DespairEventHorizon: Her father's sickness completely devastates her. She crosses this when [[spoiler:he eventually dies]], and Ophilia has to work to drag her back. |
| 23 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler:It did not occur to her that the Savior might be lying to her about bringing her father back to life until she initiated the ritual and he callously admitted [[BadBoss he had gathered his followers to use as sacrifices]] to the local GodOfEvil.]] |
| 24 | * EasilyForgiven: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-Zagged]]. [[spoiler:While Lianna is quickly forgiven by Ophilia for stealing the ember out of desperation to bring her recently-deceased father back to life, the fact that her actions [[LethallyStupid nearly resulted in the deaths of several innocent people]] in Wispermill and empowering the local GodOfEvil, results in the rest of Flamesgrace losing trust in her. A post-game sidequest reveals that [[TheAtoner Lianna is working hard to regain their lost trust]].]] |
| 25 | * EveryoneHasStandards: [[spoiler:Even when she's willing to do anything to bring her father back, including betraying her adopted sister, she still opens the door to Ophilia's cell to let her escape. She's also horrified when the ritual sucks the life energy from the villagers, as well as The Savior's callous admission that he'd planned to sacrifice them all along.]] |
| 26 | * FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:Once their father Josef dies, she turns heel by allying herself with the Savior to bring Josef back to life.]] |
| 27 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: |
| 28 | ** Her distress regarding her father's sickness foreshadows [[spoiler:her becoming a member of the {{Cult}} of [[GodOfEvil Galdera]] after her father's death by the end of Ophilia's Chapter 3, having been ([[ILied falsely]]) promised that the Cult can resurrect her father]]. |
| 29 | ** Near the end of Ophilia's Chapter 1, Josef tells Ophilia that, while Lianna is a dutiful cleric, he knows that serving the church has been difficult for her and that she has sacrificed much of her true self for the sake of her duties. [[spoiler:After Josef dies, Lianna [[DespairEventHorizon falls into despair]], loses her faith in the Sacred Flame and joins the Cult of Galdera to try to resurrect Josef, until Ophilia helps remind her that the memories they made together remain with her.]] |
| 30 | * GoodCounterpart: To Darius, from Therion's route. They are both an important person in their respective traveler's life (Ophilia and Therion), and [[spoiler:eventually betray their respective allies]]. However, Lianna had a sympathetic reason to [[spoiler:betray Ophilia, as she was [[DespairEventHorizon devastated by her father's sickness and death]] and [[UnwittingPawn was being manipulated by the Savior]] under the false promise that he could bring her father back to life if she stole the ember, [[EveryoneHasStandards was apologetic to and freed Ophilia from her cell to let her escape]], ultimately [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone came back to her senses]] (with a reminder from Ophilia of a lesson her father once taught them) after the Savior callously revealed [[ILied He Lied]], is forgiven by Ophilia, and later [[TheAtoner tries to atone for her sins]].]] Darius, on the other hand, [[spoiler:betrayed Therion]] for completely unsympathetic [[{{Greed}} desires for more money and power]], [[spoiler:[[EvilFormerFriend attempted to murder him]], [[LackOfEmpathy feels no remorse]] for what he did to the extent that he actively [[EvilGloating gloats]] about it, and as such is considered BeyondRedemption by Therion, ultimately meeting a KarmicDeath after being weakened from his battle against Therion, when his own henchmen betray and stab him for his money.]] |
| 31 | * HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Once Lianna realizes the Savior was just using her grief for his own purposes and how bad he really is, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone she realizes how huge of a mistake she's made]].]] |
| 32 | * HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: [[spoiler:Granted, she was in a very vulnerable state of mind, but you have to wonder why she would believe that Mattias would bring her father back if she just stole the embers and pledged herself to the local GodOfEvil?]] |
| 33 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:She becomes overcome with guilt for allying herself with the Savior out of desperation to bring her father back to life once it becomes clear the Savior was lying to and manipulating her for his own purposes all along.]] |
| 34 | * OneDegreeOfSeparation: Completing both Ophilia and H'aanit's Chapter 4s unlocks a sidequest that reveals that Lianna is acquainted with Eliza, and that the two seem to have known each other for some time. |
| 35 | * TamperingWithFoodAndDrink: [[spoiler:By giving Ophilia a glass of wine that was drugged with a sleeping draught, Lianna incapacitates her long enough to steal the ember.]] |
| 36 | * UnwittingPawn: Distraught by [[spoiler:her father's death]], she is manipulated by [[spoiler:Mattias]] into [[spoiler:stealing the ember.]] |
| 37 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:She is broken by her father's death enough to willingly join a cult that worships the local GodOfEvil, after said cult lies to her that they can bring her father back. After [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist Mattias]] is beaten, she tries to make up for her sins.]] |
| 38 | [[/folder]] |
| 39 | |
| 40 | [[folder:Archbishop Josef]] |
| 41 | !!Archbishop Josef |
| 42 | The archbishop of the Order of the Sacred Flame, father of Lianna, and Ophilia's adoptive father. |
| 43 | ---- |
| 44 | * CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:He falls seriously ill early in Ophilia's story, and Ophilia learns that he has passed away at the end of her Chapter 3[[note]]He remains on his deathbed in Flamesgrace Cathedral until Ophilia defeats [[SavageWolves Hróðvitnir]] at the end of her Chapter 2, at which point he disappears, presumably buried[[/note]]. It is eventually revealed in the post-game that Mattias murdered him by poison.]] |
| 45 | * ChekhovsGun: Chronologically. He once taught Lianna and Ophilia a lesson on life and death when they were children, after the two were upset by finding a dead bird behind Flamesgrace Cathedral. He gently told them that WeAllDieSomeday, but the memories we make with each other still remain in the hearts of the living. Many years later [[spoiler:and after his own death]], Josef's words of wisdom prove crucial in preventing a NearVillainVictory by [[spoiler:Mattias]]. |
| 46 | * GoodCounterpart: To Helgenish, from Primrose's route. They are both men who took in girls who would become one of the eight protagonists, but Josef raises Ophilia lovingly as if she were his own blood daughter, while Helgenish only cares about how useful Primrose is to him and demands her gratitude and obedience while treating her like a sex object instead of an actual person. |
| 47 | * GoodParents: He is a caring father to both his biological and adopted daughters, and is constantly singing their praises to others. |
| 48 | * IncurableCoughOfDeath: Coming down with this in Ophilia's prologue is what kicks off the plot, as Ophilia decides to complete the Kindling and go on a pilgrimage so Lianna doesn’t have to. [[spoiler:At the end of the prologue, he states that the illness will probably take his life sooner rather than later. Lianna reveals that he passed away at the end of Ophilia's Chapter 3. A journal from TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon reveals that Mattias gave him a slow-acting poison to make it look like this.]] |
| 49 | * LightIsGood: The Archbishop of the Order of the Sacred Flame, he is garbed in a white robe and is a loving father to both his biological and adopted daughters. |
| 50 | [[/folder]] |
| 51 | |
| 52 | [[folder:Pontiff Julius]] |
| 53 | !!Pontiff Julius |
| 54 | The head of the Order of the Sacred Flame, who oversees the completion of the Kindling. |
| 55 | ---- |
| 56 | * HighPriest: The Order of the Sacred Flame [[CrystalDragonJesus is heavily inspired by Catholicism]], thus making him the equivalent of the Pope. |
| 57 | * LightIsGood: He is garbed in a white robe, and he is a kind man. |
| 58 | * MinorMajorCharacter: He's briefly mentioned twice in Ophilia's Chapter 1, and appears in-person near the end of her Chapter 4, but is overall a very minor NPC. You can't even interact with him after completing Ophilia's story! |
| 59 | [[/folder]] |
| 60 | |
| 61 | [[folder:Bishop Bartolo]] |
| 62 | !!Bishop Bartolo |
| 63 | The head of the Saintsbridge church, one of the stops Ophilia need to make on her Kindling. |
| 64 | ---- |
| 65 | * LightIsGood: He's a bishop who primarily wears white, and he's a very supportive and kindly man. |
| 66 | * OptionalPartyMember: After Ophilia's story ends, he can be encountered at the Saintsbridge Cathedral, and Guided/Allured as an ally. He also carries [[InfinityPlusOneSword the Battle-Tested Staff]], which can be Purchased. |
| 67 | [[/folder]] |
| 68 | |
| 69 | [[folder:Nate, Derryl and Emil]] |
| 70 | !!!'''Voiced By:''' (Nate): Creator/CaseyMongillo (English), (Derryl): Creator/KiraBuckland (English) |
| 71 | Three boys that Ophilia encounters in Saintsbridge during her pilgrimage. When one goes into a forest to retrieve a lost brooch, Ophilia must come to his rescue. |
| 72 | |
| 73 | !!Nate |
| 74 | * LoveTriangle: A post-game sidequest involves his crush on a girl named Melanie, who likes Emil instead. |
| 75 | |
| 76 | !!Derryl |
| 77 | * AngerBornOfWorry: He gets upset with Emil for running off into the dangerous forest and almost being eaten by the wolf. |
| 78 | * HeelFaceTurn: A very minor one in that Derryl and later Nate goes from mean to Emil to friends once more. |
| 79 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He antagonizes Emil for losing his deceased mother's brooch and insults, yells at and assumes the worst in Emil, but when Ophilia shows him that Emil's actually trying to find it, Derryl apologizes and starts treating him better. |
| 80 | * TooDumbToLive: He goes after Emil into a dark forest filled with RandomEncounters, as an unarmed little boy. Narrowly [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] because Ophilia arrives in time to save him and Emil from [[SavageWolves Hroðvitnir]]. |
| 81 | * TragicKeepsake: His brooch, which belonged to his recently-deceased mother. |
| 82 | |
| 83 | !!Emil |
| 84 | * NiceGuy: He is a friendly and kind boy. |
| 85 | * TooDumbToLive: It's not very wise to chase a "dog" into a dark forest filled with RandomEncounters when you're an unarmed little boy all on your own, even if it's to get your friend's brooch back. Narrowly [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] because Ophilia arrives in time to save him and Derryl from Hroðvitnir. |
| 86 | [[/folder]] |
| 87 | |
| 88 | [[folder:Bishop Donovan & Lysa]] |
| 89 | The head of the Goldshore church, and his young daughter, who is held hostage by someone wanting to sabotage the Kindling. |
| 90 | ---- |
| 91 | * AngstComa: Bishop Donovan collapses after resolving not to give in, and realizing that doing so might cost Lysa her life. |
| 92 | * IHaveYourWife: The bishop is blackmailed into stealing the ember from Ophilia by this. Fortunately, he does not go through with it. |
| 93 | * OneDegreeOfSeparation: |
| 94 | ** Donovan is friends with Captain Bale, whom Olberic helps fight against the Lizardmen in Wellspring. |
| 95 | ** Lysa is friends with Ellen and Flynn, the latter of which Alfyn saves from Vanessa Hysel. |
| 96 | [[/folder]] |
| 97 | |
| 98 | [[folder:Daniel]] |
| 99 | A young boy from Goldshore that's worried the Bishop is upset at him, for delivering what turns out to be a ransom note. |
| 100 | ---- |
| 101 | * ItsAllMyFault: He blames himself for the Bishop's current state, even though he only served as an unwitting delivery boy for the kidnappers. |

| 104 | !!Cyrus's Route |
| 105 | [[folder:Therese]] |
| 106 | !!Therese |

| 108 | |
| 109 | One of Cyrus' students, and a distant relative of Princess Mary. |
| 110 | ---- |
| 111 | * AllLoveIsUnrequited: Cyrus is deeply in love with educating his students on top of being incredibly dense when it comes to romance. |
| 112 | * BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:Rescues Cyrus from a trap that Headmaster Yvon traps him in, though she gets captured immediately after.]] |
| 113 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: She starts an untrue rumor that [[spoiler:Cyrus has entered into an illicit relationship with Princess Mary]], without thinking of the possibility that it would be taken seriously enough to get [[spoiler:Cyrus]] placed on sabbatical. [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone She does not take it well when she realizes the result.]] |
| 114 | * EasilyForgiven: Despite the severity of her false accusation, Cyrus isn't the least bit upset at her, even going so far as to ''thank her'' for it since he'd been looking for an excuse to leave the academy for a while anyway. |
| 115 | * GreenEyedMonster: Her jealousy over Cyrus spending time tutoring the princess causes her to start the rumor of an affair. She right away regrets doing so though. |
| 116 | * HairstyleInertia: {{Averted}}. In ''VideoGame/OctopathTravelerChampionsOfTheContinent'', which is set three years before this game, Therese was shown to have shorter hair when she was younger, which she grew out as she grew older. |
| 117 | * HotForTeacher: Entirely one-sided on her part. |
| 118 | * KarmaHoudini: While she's not a bad person, she receives no actual discipline for getting Cyrus removed from his teaching position (albeit an outcome she didn't want to happen), though one could say that [[spoiler:getting captured and nearly killed by Yvon was punishment enough for her.]] |
| 119 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: While she did start the rumor about an affair between Cyrus and the princess, she never intended for it to be taken seriously enough that he would lose his teaching position. |
| 120 | * PrecociousCrush: In love with Cyrus, who's 30 to her 17. |
| 121 | * PromotedToPlayable: In ''VideoGame/OctopathTravelerChampionsOfTheContinent'', she is made playable as a lightning themed Scholar. |
| 122 | * SheKnowsTooMuch: [[spoiler:Yvon captures and nearly kills her for looking into his secrets regarding the tome Cyrus is searching for. Fortunately, Cyrus arrives just in time to fight Yvon and prevent her death.]] |
| 123 | * SpannerInTheWorks: If she hadn't traveled to Stonegard to [[spoiler:rescue Cyrus from a trap that Headmaster Yvon and Lucia trapped him in]], the antagonists of Cyrus' route would have likely won. |
| 124 | * WhiteHairBlackHeart: Subverted. While she has white hair and was the one who started the rumor that got Cyrus suspended from his position, she's ultimately a NiceGirl who genuinely cares for her professor. |
| 125 | [[/folder]] |
| 126 | |
| 127 | [[folder:Princess Mary]] |
| 128 | !!Princess Mary |
| 129 | The Princess of the kingdom of Atlasdam. Another of Cyrus's students. |
| 130 | ---- |
| 131 | * TomboyPrincess: According to Professor Paul, she was quite the tomboy when she was younger, running around swinging branches like they were swords. |
| 132 | [[/folder]] |
| 133 | |
| 134 | [[folder:Mercedes]] |
| 135 | !!Mercedes |

| 144 | A researcher in Quarrycrest, and Cyrus's former academy colleague, that helps track down the missing tome. |
| 145 | ---- |
| 146 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "You're still here." |
| 147 | * OneDegreeOfSeparation: She was acquainted with Geoffrey Azelhart while he was alive. By extension, she also knew Revello Forsythe. |
| 148 | * RunningGag: She has a habit of opening her door and immediately shutting it in her visitor's face before opening it again, to make sure she's not hallucinating. |
| 149 | * VitriolicBestBuds: ''Never'' passes up an opportunity for a laugh over the trouble [[CluelessChickMagnet Cyrus]] manages to get himself into with the opposite sex, much to his chagrin. |
| 150 | [[/folder]] |
| 151 | |
| 152 | [[folder:Dominic]] |
| 153 | !!Dominic |

| 155 | ---- |
| 156 | * AllForNothing: He compromised his morals to translate a dangerous tome to get enough money to pay for his daughter's medical debts, only for her to die anyway. |
| 157 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: He feels immense guilt over translating a tome with deadly information. |
| 158 | * NotSoDifferentRemark: He accepted Russell as his apprentice because he realized both of them made mistakes they've regretted and are looking for a way to atone. |

| 161 | !!Tressa's Route |
| 162 | [[folder:Captain Leon Bastralle]] |
| 163 | !!Captain Leon |
| 164 | A seafaring merchant that comes to Tressa's aid. |
| 165 | ---- |
| 166 | * AllThatGlitters: The last words of his friend Baltazar helped him realize that, despite rising from the slums to become a feared pirate, he still had nothing that he considered valuable enough to fight for. |
| 167 | * BigDamnHeroes: Arrives to save Tressa from Mikk and Makk's subordinates when they gang up on her. |
| 168 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "The strong take and the weak quake." Leon has since retired this phrase, but when he invented it he was more so referring sardonically to how the world is an unpleasant place where you are preyed upon if you are not strong enough. |
| 169 | * TheDreaded: In his youth, Leon was known far and wide as a ruthless and extremely powerful pirate captain. Years later after retiring his pirating ways, Leon's name and signature blue spear still strike fear into all who know his exploits. |
| 170 | * HeelFaceTurn: Leon was never evil, but he was once feared as an extremely powerful and ruthless pirate, and was a {{Jerkass}} to his own men. However, after his friend and rival Baltazar asked him what the word "treasure" means to him, challenged him to a race and died in a shipwreck, Leon realized he had nothing of true value and became an honest merchant, rebuilding his friend's wrecked ship into a trading vessel. He considers his friend's ship to be his most precious treasure. |
| 171 | * {{Jerkass}}: He was this as a pirate, but in the present is an OlderAndWiser merchant. |
| 172 | * LightningBruiser: His fighting style is shown to be both lightning fast and powerful. In battle, nearly all of his attacks are multi-hit attacks that inflict heavy damage. |
| 173 | * MagneticHero: Mikk and Makk choose to join Leon's crew when they return later on after their initial encounter with him. |
| 174 | * OlderAndWiser: In his youth he was shown to be rather brash and competitive with Baltazar. The current day Leon comes across as a matured, calm and collected man. |
| 175 | * OneManArmy: He effortlessly [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomps]] three of Mikk and Makk's subordinates all by himself during his BigDamnHeroes moment. Even better? Mikk had just told his subordinates, "[[TemptingFate What difference does one more make?]] Get 'em!" |
| 176 | * OptionalPartyMember: After Tressa and Therion's stories end, and the sidequest "Mikk and Makk Make Good" is completed, Leon can be encountered at the Rippletide docks, and Guided/Allured as an ally. He also carries [[InfinityPlusOneSword the Battle-Tested Spear]], which can be Purchased or Stolen. |
| 177 | * ReformedCriminal: Used to be a ruthless pirate, but by the time Tressa meets him he's re-invented himself as an honest trader. |
| 178 | * SignatureMove: Whirlwind Strike, which launches 5 consecutive attacks. |
| 179 | * StreetUrchin: He started his life as one, until he was able to make a name for himself as a fearsome scoundrel. |
| 180 | * TakeUpMySword: Rather than a pirate, Baltazar had always wanted to be a merchant. After Baltazar's death, Leon becomes a merchant in his stead and even uses the former's ship as the trading vessel. |
| 181 | * TragicKeepsake: Baltazar's ship. After his friend's passing, Leon takes on Baltazar's ship as his most precious treasure and uses it as his merchant vessel in Baltazar's honor. |
| 182 | [[/folder]] |
| 183 | |
| 184 | [[folder:Ali]] |
| 185 | !!Ali |
| 186 | Another traveling merchant that takes an interest in Tressa's keen eye for value. Skilled at embellishment, tugging heartstrings and loosening purse strings. |
| 187 | ---- |
| 188 | * {{Foil}}: To Tressa in terms of their salesman techniques and philosophies. Whereas Tressa relies on her enthusiasm and ability to understand what the customer needs most to make a sale, Ali uses his charisma and a little truth-stretching to convince his customers to buy his merchandise. |
| 189 | * GuileHero: Zigzagged, Ali uses his smooth talking to solve his problems, but is not always successful. Ali attempts to scare Omar by claiming he's a dangerous fighter, but Omar persists with fighting and Ali ends up beaten badly. On another occasion he does successfully distract Esmeralda's cohort to assist Tressa. |
| 190 | * HereWeGoAgain: His postgame sidequest reveals that he and his father last parted on bad terms after a fight. The player can bring them back together so they can open a shop, only for them to start fighting again on how it should be run. |
| 191 | * InsultOfEndearment: His "Green Pea" nickname for Tressa gains a friendly tone after she rescues him and they reunite in Grandport. |
| 192 | * ItRunsInTheFamily: His father, Maruf, was a skilled merchant who got into a lot of debt when a friend betrayed him. His work inspired Ali, who travels the world to earn a living and pay back their debts. |
| 193 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He teases Tressa for her inexperience and isn't afraid to use cheap tactics to steal away her customers, but he is shown to have a caring side for his father, and extends his kindness to Tressa after she protects him from Morlock. |
| 194 | * NonActionGuy: He thinks a merchant's best weapon is his words... and as such he's not a very competent fighter. Yet another difference he has with Tressa, who is hilariously strong for her size. |
| 195 | * TheNicknamer: Calls Tressa "Green Pea" after learning of her inexperience. |
| 196 | * OptionalPartyMember: After Tressa's story ends, he can be encountered at the Sunshade markets, and Guided/Allured as an ally. |
| 197 | * SnakeOilSalesman: Using a combination of cunning charisma and some embellishment, he can easily outsell his competition (i.e. Tressa), even if they are selling the ''exact same'' merchandise. |
| 198 | * TheRival: Sets up shop right next to Tressa while she's in Quarrycrest, for a fraction of her costs. He becomes a FriendlyRival at the end of the chapter, after Tressa saves him from Morlock and Omar. |
| 199 | * TravelingSalesman: Similar to Tressa, he is a traveling merchant who collects and sells treasures. |
| 200 | * WellDoneSonGuy: Part of his motivation to run away from the home is that he wants to prove himself a better merchant than his father. |

| 203 | [[folder:Lord Aston Wyndham]] |
| 204 | The wealthy host of the Merchant's Fair, who organized the event to find the perfect gift for his daughter. |
| 205 | ---- |
| 206 | * ConspicuousConsumption: The main event of the Merchant's Fair is Lord Wyndham being presented with the best treasures from around the land, and choosing one to give to his daughter, Noa. The selected winner is given a cool billion for their offering. |
| 207 | * DotingParent: His beloved daughter Noa is physically frail and cannot venture about on her own, so Wyndham purchases extravagant, exotic treasures to appease her desire to explore the world. |
| 208 | * Fiction500: He's so wealthy it's stated he could easily buy a small country. |
| 209 | [[/folder]] |
| 210 | |
| 211 | [[folder:Noa Wyndham]] |
| 212 | Aston Wyndham's physically frail, but adventure-loving daughter. |
| 213 | ---- |
| 214 | * CommonalityConnection: Tressa immediately connects with Noa because she recognizes how similar they are, both being young women who seek to find themselves and just need someone to inspire them to do so. |
| 215 | * NarratorAllAlong: The closing narration for Tressa's story reveals that Tressa's entire tale was Noa reading her diary entries. |
| 216 | * OneDegreeOfSeparation: She is PenPals with [[spoiler:Cordelia Ravus]]. |

| 240 | * CharacterDeath: He was murdered by Erhardt as a result of a perceived BetrayalByInaction before Olberic's story begins proper. |

| 324 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: He's a PosthumousCharacter and only appears in flashbacks, but the lessons he taught his daughter Primrose remain with her long after his murder. Avenging his murder at the hands of the criminal Crow Men is the primary goal of Primrose's story, but the lessons he taught her likely contribute to her remaining a very kind and gentle woman to the innocent, and her unwillingness to endanger them while she's pursuing the guilty. |
| 325 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: His knowledge of [[spoiler:the Gate of Finis]] is what causes the Obsidians to go after him, shutting down House Azelhart and putting Primrose on the streets. |

It is also implied that she has a crush on Primrose, as she expresses sounds of admiration at her friend's wilful demeanor. |
| 334 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: She stands up for Primrose because when she first arrived, Primrose was the only one who helped her. |
| 335 | * CharacterDeath: Helgenish eventually murders her as punishment for [[DisproportionateRetribution helping Primrose escape his tavern]]. |
| 336 | * NiceGirl: She's the only girl among the dancers who is kind to Primrose. |

| 339 | * SacrificialLamb: Is murdered by Helgenish early in Primrose's story, to fully establish just how [[DarkerAndEdgier dark]] her story will be. Near the end of Primrose's story, she has a montage of flashbacks, among them is Yusufa telling her that "I know that, deep down, you have a good heart", proving that Primrose never forgot her. |
| 340 | * TraumaCongaLine: She was sold to Helgenish as a child, having to spend her life dealing with both his abuse as well as the bullying of the other girls working for him, with Primrose being her OnlyFriend. [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished When she tries to cover for Primrose so Primrose can go after one of the Crow Men, Helgenish and his henchmen capture her and force information out of her via torture about what Primrose is up to, catch up to Primrose, and mortally wounds her right in front of Primrose.]] |

| 348 | * GreenEyedMonster: They envy Primrose for being Helgenish's favorite dancer. |
| 349 | * HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: They envy Primrose for being favored by the ObviouslyEvil Helgenish. As Primrose can personally testify, being favored by Helgenish is ''not'' a good thing as she suffers more of his perversion and abuse than they do. |
| 350 | * {{Jerkass}}: They are pretty nasty girls. Given who their employer is, they're probably [[SourOutsideSadInside trying to make themselves feel better in a miserable situation]]. |

| 366 | * HeelFaceTurn: A post-game sidequest has the player help him find a new, more ethical job after he lost his old one. |
| 367 | * IgnoreTheFanservice: Zig-zagged. In Primrose's Chapter 2, she tries to get him to let her on the stagecoach by seducing him with a dance. He isn't even fazed, much to her shock and confusion. In the post-game, she can use Allure on him and succeed, but his dialogue suggests he will follow her not because he is seduced by her but because he has nothing better to do. |

The Right-hand Man tells them that "[[FallenHero Honor's all well and good]], [[EvilPaysBetter but it doesn't buy you much]]". To say that Forsythe and Primrose are not impressed would be an understatement. |
| 379 | * HappilyMarried: He and Anna are quite happy together. |
| 380 | * OneDegreeOfSeparation: He is acquainted with Odette, who helps Cyrus figure out how to find the original edition of ''From the Far Reaches of Hell''. A post-game sidequest has the player help him find out why Odette doesn't visit Geoffrey Azelhart's grave. |
| 381 | * SpannerInTheWorks: He returns to the room where Primrose killed the Right-hand Man to find her bleeding on the floor after being stabbed by [[spoiler:Simeon]], having seen [[spoiler:Simeon]] leave the room and suspecting that something was wrong. If not for Revello, [[spoiler:Simeon]] would have likely won. |

| 395 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: Zeph and Alfyn have known each other since childhood and understand each other better than anyone else. |
| 396 | * TheNotLoveInterest: He's the person who means the most to Alfyn, they share a touching goodbye scene, his bag is Alfyn's most precious treasure, and [[spoiler:his words are what restore Alfyn's confidence during his darkest hour]]. Despite all of this making him seem just like [[MyGirlBackHome Alf's Guy Back Home]], they're just friends and Zeph loves someone else. |

| 417 | ---- |
| 418 | * ArcWords: "Some lives are [[BeyondRedemption not worth saving]]." [[spoiler:Takes on a different meaning when Ogen reveals he is letting himself die of illness because he cannot live with the fact he has killed.]] |
| 419 | * TheAtoner: He treats the sick [[spoiler:to atone for the murder he committed]]. |
| 420 | * BeyondRedemption: His belief about some people (see ArcWords above). [[spoiler:This extends to ''[[DeathSeeker his own life]]'' as well.]] |

| 422 | * BluntYes: When Alfyn asks about his refusal to save Miguel. |
| 423 | -->'''Alfyn:''' 'Cause someone's a thief, that means you leave them to die?\ |
| 424 | '''Ogen:''' ''(nods)'' I said it once, and I'll say it again. Some lives are worth saving... others, not so much. |
| 425 | * CynicismCatalyst: [[spoiler:The murder of [[TheLostLenore his late wife]], done by a patient he had treated, caused him to become the cynic he is now. Seeing his late wife's killer with a family of his own when Ogen tracked him down only exacerbated him further, if anything.]] |
| 426 | * DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:Due to the guilt he feels over killing a murderer that had a family of his own, he doesn't bother watching over his own health and is willing to die.]] |
| 427 | * {{Foil}}: As described here, he contrasts with Alfyn. [[spoiler:They were both motivated to become apothecaries after their lives were saved by the same man, Graham Crossford.]] Alfyn is a talented but inexperienced apothecary who is travelling to hone his skills and will treat anybody he can, Ogen is a more experienced but cynical apothecary who will treat those he deems deserving of life but will leave dangerous criminals to die. After Alfyn's resolve is shaken [[spoiler:by Miguel's betrayal of his trust and nearly murdering an innocent [[WouldHurtAChild child]]]], Ogen tells him that he was once like Alfyn, but became embittered when [[spoiler:his wife was murdered by a criminal [[UngratefulBastard he had treated]]]]. |
| 428 | * GoodAllAlong: His EstablishingCharacterMoment is him examining a fatally wounded man and then coldly refusing to treat him, much to Alfyn's chagrin. However, it turns out he had a very good reason to neglect [[EvilAllAlong Miguel]] as he had realized that the latter is a murderous criminal, and doesn't want to put local townspeople in danger. |
| 429 | * GoodIsNotSoft: He's willing to work for free like Alfyn, but he'll also let people he deems unworthy to live (i.e. dangerous criminals) die. |
| 430 | * HeWhoFightsMonsters: [[spoiler:He realized that in murdering the man who killed his wife, he was no better than him, especially since the man had a family of his own.]] |
| 431 | * IncurableCoughOfDeath: Comes down with a serious ailment in Alfyn's final chapter; the same as the one that almost killed Alfyn in his youth. |
| 432 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite being cynical about his profession, Ogen is still willing to save people for free, provided they're not dangerous criminals. |
| 433 | * JerkassHasAPoint: His belief that some people do not deserve to be saved may seem cruel, but he's proven right when [[spoiler:Miguel kidnaps and [[WouldHurtAChild wounds a child]] [[UngratefulBastard after Alfyn treated him]]]]. |
| 434 | * KnightOfCerebus: Alfyn's story starts off fairly light-hearted with him travelling to heal the sick and suffering. Then he encounters Ogen in Saintsbridge, a fellow apothecary who refuses to treat a wounded man based on his belief that dangerous criminals should be left to die. Ogen's belief being [[JerkassHasAPoint proved to have merit]] when [[spoiler:Alfyn treats the wounded man in his stead, only to be "rewarded" with the UngratefulBastard kidnapping and nearly killing an innocent [[WouldHurtAChild child]]]] takes Alfyn's story into darker territory, raising serious questions as to whether "[[ArcWords some lives are not worth saving]]". |
| 435 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:Guilt over the revenge-murder of his wife's killer makes him accept a possible fate of death by sickness, which is why he didn't try curing himself.]] |
| 436 | * MyGreatestFailure: He used to be optimistic and naïve like Alfyn, until [[spoiler:a criminal he treated [[UngratefulBastard murdered his wife]]]]. |
| 437 | * OneDegreeOfSeparation: [[spoiler:Like Alfyn, his life was also saved by Graham Crossford. Graham apparently even mentioned Alfyn to him, though not by name.]] |
| 438 | * OptionalPartyMember: After Alfyn's story ends, he can be encountered near [[spoiler:his wife's grave]] in Northreach, and Guided/Allured as an ally. |
| 439 | * PoorCommunicationKills: By refusing to tell Alfyn why he doesn't think Miguel is worth saving, Ogen severely undermines his own case and causes Alfyn to dislike him. Granted, Alfyn does treat Miguel even after learning the truth. |
| 440 | * {{Revenge}}: [[spoiler:He eventually found the criminal that killed his wife, now with a family of his own, and murdered him. This caused him to refuse to heal his own diseases, [[DeathSeeker believing his own life isn't worth saving.]]]] |
| 441 | * SherlockScan: He has a keen eye for detail. Noticing that Miguel has a hidden dagger, there's more blood on him than came from his wound, and Miguel's eyes dart around, helps Ogen realize that Miguel is a criminal. |
| 442 | * SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: Ogen expresses this attitude when he tells Alfyn that when he was younger, he too used to believe that all lives were worth saving, until [[spoiler: his wife was brutally murdered by a man whose life he saved.]] |
| 443 | * UnwantedHealing: Alfyn, late in his story arc, discovers that Ogen is sick with the same disease that Alfyn himself once had. When Alfyn confronts him about it, Ogen refuses treatment, [[DeathSeeker having no desire to live]] [[spoiler:after losing his wife and then killing her murderer in revenge]], so he feels his life isn't worth saving.

| 467 | The butler to House Ravus, and the last line of defense for the Sapphire Dragonstone. |
| 468 | ---- |
| 469 | * BattleButler: He is both the butler to House Ravus and a competent swordsman, serving as Therion's introductory boss. Even after Therion and his companions defeat him, he manages to put the bangle on Therion's wrist. |
| 470 | * BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:When Therion is surrounded by Darius's goons, Heathcote helps him escape by creating an opening in their formation.]] |
| 471 | * TheChooserOfTheOne: The entire reason House Ravus sent all that information throughout town is to hire the best possible thief to take back the other Dragonstones, with him as the "final exam". Therion passed their "test" and was subsequently drafted. |
| 472 | * ClingyMacGuffin: He places the MarkOfShame on Therion's wrist after the boss fight, explaining in detail exactly what it means to him, as a means to blackmail Therion into service. |
| 473 | * FlunkyBoss: He starts the battle against Therion with an assistant, and can summon reinforcements every so often. |
| 474 | * HeroAntagonist: While he serves as Therion's [[StarterVillain first boss battle]] and essentially blackmails Therion into helping him recover the Dragonstones via the [[MarkOfShame Fool's Bangle]], he's ultimately a NiceGuy who treats Therion with kindness. |
| 475 | * ManipulativeBastard: Zig-zagged. Heathcote uses his battle against Therion as a distraction to slip the Fool's Bangle on his wrist, blackmailing the thief into helping them reclaim the Dragonstones. However, he treats Therion with kindness and respect over his journey, and even [[spoiler:secretly unlocks the Fool's Bangle after Therion returns the Ruby Dragonstone]]. |
| 476 | * MissionControl: Acts as this for Therion. At the beginning of each chapter of his story, Heathcote will tell him where the next Dragonstone can be found. |
| 477 | * NotSoDifferentRemark: Despite appearances, Heathcote has a lot in common with Therion. [[spoiler:Heathcote describes his younger self as being a lot like Therion, both having a strong sense of honor and pride in their skills.]] |
| 478 | * OldMaster: He manages to hold his own against Therion despite his age, though he claims he's not as strong as he once was. |
| 479 | * PromotedToPlayable: In ''VideoGame/OctopathTravelerChampionsOfTheContinent'', he is made a playable Thief. |
| 480 | * RecruitingTheCriminal: It was Heathcote's idea to draw in and force a thief to aid Cordelia in finding the Dragonstones. [[spoiler:This strategy was inspired by his own experience of Cordelia's father capturing Heathcote, a thief in his youth, and persuading him to serve his daughter.]] |
| 481 | * ReformedCriminal: He was once a thief just like Therion before he was caught by the previous master of House Ravus. Instead of sending Heathcote to jail, the master entrusted him with taking care of Cordelia, the task which he decided to take in earnest. |
| 482 | * StarterVillain: '''Downplayed'''. He is the first boss of Therion's route and uses their battle as a distraction to slip the [[MarkOfShame Fool's Bangle]] onto his arm as a means of blackmailing Therion into helping them recover the Dragonstones, which propels him deeply into ManipulativeBastard territory. However, he treats Therion with kindness and respect, and is [[UndyingLoyalty undyingingly loyal]] to Cordelia, making him more of a necessary antagonist than a "villain", in a similar vein to the Guardian of the First Flame. |
| 483 | * UndyingLoyalty: To Cordelia. |

| 488 | !!!'''Voiced By:''' Creator/ChrisHackney (English) |
| 489 | A former friend of the man currently in possession of the Ruby Dragonstone. |
| 490 | ---- |
| 491 | * MovingTheGoalposts: Makes a deal to help Therion get into Orlick's mansion if Therion acquires some materials for his experiments, but each time Therion returns he says he needs something else, much to Therion's increasing irritation. [[spoiler:As it turns out, though, all of the materials he has Therion collect are components to make a key that will get Therion into the vault, so he wasn't just jerking Therion around.]] |
| 492 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: With Orlick, before they parted ways over a disagreement about the Dragonstone. [[spoiler:He still cares about his former friend, though, and helps Therion in the hopes that removing the Dragonstone will help Orlick come back to his senses. After Therion's story is completed, the two are shown to have become friends once more.]] |

| 495 | !!H'aanit's Route |
| 496 | [[folder:Z'aanta]] |
| 497 | !!Z'aanta |
| 498 | The master huntsman of S'warkii village, and H'aanit's mentor. He goes missing while hunting the beast known as Redeye. |
| 499 | ---- |
| 500 | * AnimalMotifs: His open affection, loyalty and hunting prowess reflects dogs, and his AnimalCompanion is a direwolf. |
| 501 | * BigDamnHeroes: |
| 502 | ** Years ago after visiting Susanna [[spoiler:he stops an assassin from trying to kill her. That man is Alaic, who tried to kill himself for failing but Suzanna saved his life]]. |
| 503 | ** Once H'aanit completes her quest [[spoiler:she returns to Stoneguard to meet with Z'aanta. Just before she reaches it, a powerful beast is threatening some people. Before she can unleash her own arrows, Z'aanta kills the beast from behind with his own arrows]]. |
| 504 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: Constantly joking, messing around and loaded with gambling debts, but there's no one who's more well-regarded when it comes to hunting beasts. |
| 505 | * ButtMonkey: His gambling problem is well known. H'aanit, Eliza and even his own direwolf Hägen poke fun at him. |
| 506 | * EccentricMentor: Z'aanta is ''the'' authority on hunting, but he presents himself as quite goofy with light-hearted playfulness and adamant defense of his love of gambling. |
| 507 | * FatalFlaw: His gambling addiction has gotten him into financial difficulties several times. H'aanit, Eliza and even his own direwolf Hägen [[OnceDoneNeverForgotten won't let him forget it]]. |
| 508 | * FamedInStory: His exploits in slaying a dragon in the Cliftlands is referenced by several people in other sidequests. |
| 509 | * TheGamblingAddict: One of his more prominent character flaws. |
| 510 | * GoodCounterpart: To Helgenish, from Primrose's route. They are both men who took in girls who would become one of the eight protagonists, but Z'aanta raises H'aanit as if she were his own daughter while teaching her how to hunt, while Helgenish only cares about how useful Primrose is to him and demands her gratitude and obedience while treating her like a sex object instead of an actual person. While H'aanit does address Z'aanta as "Master", it is in the context of "teacher" or "mentor" and not "slaver". |
| 511 | * NervesOfSteel: One of the traits a true hunter possesses; Z'aanta demonstrates this [[spoiler:by writing out a letter with instructions for the reader, preferably H'aanit, while he was being petrified by Redeye's curse. After seeing the effects of the curse, H'aanit can have a travel banter with Olberic where he tells her such.]] |
| 512 | * NobleWolf: His AnimalCompanion Hägen is a direwolf. Hägen is noted to be very loyal to Z'aanta, so much that Hägen returning to S'warkii without Z'aanta is a sign [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness something has gone very wrong]]. |
| 513 | * OnceDoneNeverForgotten: H'aanit, Eliza, and even his own direwolf Hägen frequently remind him of [[TheGamblingAddict his gambling addiction]] and his financial woes that come with it, especially since Z'aanta adamantly tries to defend his addiction. H'aanit in particular often falls into a calm but firm scolding-spree. |
| 514 | -->'''H'aanit:''' Eliza had to payen thy debts, and thou only finishedst paying her back this last moon. Promisen me, Master: no more foolish gambling.\ |
| 515 | '''Z'aanta:''' Gahahahaha! But what of the old hunter's saying? “If the first arrow faileth, nock a second and try again!”\ |
| 516 | '''H'aanit:''' ''(Sighs)'' ...Thou just madest that one up. |
| 517 | * OptionalPartyMember: After H'aanit's story ends, he can be encountered at H'aanit's village, and Guided/Allured as an ally. He also carries [[InfinityPlusOneSword the Battle-Tested Bow]], which can be Purchased. |
| 518 | * ParentalSubstitute: |
| 519 | ** H'aanit lost her parents at a very young age, and Z'aanta's been like a father to her since. |
| 520 | ** Susanna notes that she has filled this role for Z'aanta, seeing the man as a son to her. |
| 521 | * ParentsAsPeople: He undoubtedly loves H'aanit, but is rather eccentric and a bit off. Though he’s far better than Helgenish. |
| 522 | * RedOniBlueOni: The Red to H'aanit's Blue. Z'aanta is one of the greatest hunters and hunting teachers during the current events of ''Octopath Traveler'', and is also fairly social with people even though he has difficulty understanding them, but is otherwise an enthusiastic goofball who doesn't take anything unrelated to hunting seriously and even has a [[FatalFlaw gambling addiction]], much to the disapproval of his apprentice. Meanwhile, H'aanit is also a great hunter while being calm and dignified, which is noted by several characters throughout her route, but is a SociallyAwkwardHero who is more comfortable with nature, becoming shy when paid compliments by people. |
| 523 | * TakenForGranite: [[spoiler:The state H'aanit eventually finds him in.]] |
| 524 | [[/folder]] |
| 525 | |
| 526 | [[folder:Lord Ciaran]] |
| 527 | The man who owns the Whisperwood. Some of his people were attacked by a rampaging Ghisarma[[note]]The boss of H'aanit's Chapter 1[[/note]], and he is looking for a hunter to slay the beast so that his people will be safe. |
| 528 | ---- |
| 529 | * TheGhost: He is never seen. His herald journeys to S'warkii to entrust H'aanit with slaying the Ghisarma in his stead. |
| 530 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He is anxious to protect his people from the Ghisarma. |
| 531 | [[/folder]] |

| 546 | * OptionalPartyMember: After Ophilia and H'aanit's stories end, she and Lianna are involved in a quest in Wispermill; after its completion, she can be Guided/Allured as an ally. |

| 551 | A seer that is sought after by H'aanit. She also wrote the novel ''Knowledge Is Light'', which Cyrus quotes in his story's ending. |
| 552 | ---- |
| 553 | * AwesomenessByAnalysis: She can't actually see the future, but is excellent at reading people and figuring out what decisions they are most likely to make. |
| 554 | * HonestAdvisor: She earns H'aanit's trust by confessing her lack of supernatural power, and is then rather blunt about H'aanit running off into danger unprepared and possibly failing at her task. |
| 555 | * LikeASonToMe: How she saw Z'aanta. And after meeting his protege H'aanit, she sees the female hunter as her granddaughter. |

| 575 | ---- |
| 576 | * AlliterativeName: "Kit" is typically a diminuitive of "Christopher." When combined with his last name, which you have to go out of your way to hunt down, this would make his full name [[spoiler:Christopher Crossford]]. |
