409----
410* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: His subjects at Razelia obviously hate him for being a tyrant and a traitor while the Kingdom of Canaan is quite glad of him being directly on Runan's warpath.

411* BackstabBackfire: [[spoiler:If he was beaten by Julia, she tries to spare his life as she doesn't find killing him worth it. He then tries to backstab her but Julia swiftly ends him in self-defense.]]
412* DrivenByEnvy: Hates Runan due to being highly regarded by both the nobility and the citizens.
413* DirtyCoward: Abandons his Father Dhorme when Zemseria is under attack by Runan's forces and would later use cowardly tactics in both versions of Chapter 26 to debilitate you. Statwise, he is pathetically weak compared to both your units and his own. The only thing dangerous about him is his weapon, but even then, he lacks ranged options.
414* EvilPrince: His class and the fact he is a member of the Royal Family of Reeve by blood through his mother.

419* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: Just like his father, he is left with no support from the Kingdom of Canaan after Prince Julius withdraws his forces. He instead attempts to ask the Cult of Gerxel for aid, how successful he is depends on which version of the map you've chosen to fight him.

728* DisappearedDad: He only lives with his sick mother, while his father is not present in his life. [[spoiler:However, it's implied that his father is Ernst, the famed "Sword of Canaan." They share the same class (once Narron is promoted) and Narron's only information about his father is that he is a general of Canaan.]]
729* DiscOneNuke: Promoting him into a Gold Paladin using a Knight Crest will allow him to steamroll the early chapters of the game with ease, his Paragon skill will also render him viable all throughout the game.
730* HeroicSelfDeprecation: In his only conversation, he is shown to have low confidence in his abilities.
731* MagikarpPower: As Eugen describes him, he's might be a diamond-in-a-rough, otherwise, he's not very skillful. However, as a Gold Paladin, his stats jumps as a result of changing from Cavalier (which are relatively low) to Gold Paladins (which has the highest base stat of all classes).
732* MutuallyExclusivePartyMembers: Narron is one of the four initial Verje soldiers that Marlon lends. However, he will only allow one to join your army and keep the rest for security reasons. When Holmes come, he will also show off the other Verje soldiers and Lionel, including Narron if he wasn't chosen by Runan.

747----
748* DisabledLoveInterest: She's a blind cleric and Kreiss's object of affection.
749* GuideDangIt: Recruiting Leteena involves following [[https://serenesforest.net/tearring-saga/characters/recruitment/leteena-event/ this]] exact sequence of steps. Yeah, good luck figuring ''that'' out on your own, especially seeing as there's no in-game hints towards it at all.
750* MagikarpPower: She might start at a low level, but magic and speed is very average and has Paragon to get her levels up quickly.
751* MutuallyExclusivePartyMembers: Recruiting her forgoes recruiting Rebecca. However, that's if you accomplish the event.
752* PunnyName: Her name can be interpreted as a romanization of "retina," a layer of membrane in the eye. [[IronicName She's blind]].
753* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:She wanted Kreiss to run away with her so that she doesn't have to worry about him dying. However, Ezekiel can convince them to stop as they are fighting to make sure they don't die.]]

779* ArcVillain: He is the first antagonist introduced in the game.
780* BadBoss: Most of his subordinates only serve him because he has their families hostage.
781* DirtyCoward: An obese chancellor who controls his men through intimidation and threats. [[spoiler:Once all of his men were defeated, he was immediately captured by Lionel without putting up a fight]].
782* EvilChancellor: With Raphael missing and most the nobles who participated with him died during the Battle of Balt, he began abusing his power like stealing money and girls throughout Wellt.
783* FatBastard: He's rather obese in his appearance.

789* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Is never seen or heard of again after his army's defeat, though Maron says he'll be executed when Raphael returns. Said return occurs in the ending, but Codha still isn't even mentioned.
790* ZeroApprovalGambit: Placed under Runan and Marlon's mercy, Codha quickly surrenders his title and claims that he played the role of a villain to unify Wellt against the Zoan Empire. Neither Runan nor Marlon entirely buy his claim but, nonetheless, Marlon accepts the title and puts Codha under arrest for treason.

804* BattleCouple: With Mel. Like Mel, if she dies, he'll leave the party. In addition, if you try to separate them during route splits, the one assigned to Holmes' group will be moved to Runan's.
805* BeautyEqualsGoodness: He's pretty looking compare to Codha's other {{Gonk}}ish generals.
806* CriticalStatusBuff: He learns Life or Death/Wrath at Level 18.
807* DisappearedDad: When he was a boy, his father passed away and he had to take over as the head of the family. Codha was able to coerce Roger into serving him, as any signs of insubordination could put Roger's family at harm's way.
808* GeoEffects: Roger starts with Urbanite.
809* NoSell: He starts with Big Shield/Pavise.
810* WouldntHitAGirl: In Map 4, he cannot attack or even fight back against any female units, which can be exploited by using your female units as walls to prevent him from moving and harassing your forces. If you want to train up your other female units (especially Sasha), you can order them to attack Roger and he will not fight back.

823* FragileSpeedster: His only good stat is his speed, as his strength is too low and has terrible durability.
824* GeoEffects: Luca learns City Fighter/Urbanite upon class changing.
825* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:At the end of Map 26, one of the choice will have him sacrifice himself to save his sister, which allows Raquel to break her oath of killing human enemies. Thankfully, you can resurrect him with a Dakuron]].
826* MasterOfNone: Many archers including his sister Raquel utterly outclass him in every way. Even worse is that among the troops that Marlon offers you, he has no immediate or potential benefits and you get Raquel a few chapters later and you already have Kate as an archer. Not even Holmes seem impressed looking at him since ''he's'' much better than him as an archer. [[spoiler: It's especially telling that his only use is for him to die at the hands of Lentzeheimer's men in make Raquel give up her vow of non-lethal combat.]]
827* MutuallyExclusivePartyMembers: Luca is one of the four initial Verje soldiers that Marlon lends. However, he will only allow one to join your army and keep the rest for security reasons. When Holmes comes, he will also show off the other Verje soldiers and Lionel, including Luca if he wasn't chosen by Runan. You need to recruit him in Chapter 2 in order to get Raquel to renounce her vow never to kill humans.
828* OvershadowedByAwesome: He was already dead on arrival, as both your choice as a Verje recruitment and bow units. You have to completely forgo Lee and Narron, who are powerful units in their own right, and Ezekiel, who is [[spoiler:essential to recruiting a secret character]], to essentially recruit a mediocre archer into your army. Even as an archer, you already have Kate, who can also use swords, you'll recruit Raquel a few chapter later, and he's useless in Holmes's team since Holmes is already an archer.

840----
841* CrutchCharacter: In a way, as she is a pre-promoted Sniper incapable of killing. She is useful in chipping down the enemy to give weak units to chance to get kills. She is very effective against monsters though, especially when she learns the Anti-Evil skill.
842* GeoEffects: Raquel starts with both Urbanite and Forester.
843* HopelessSuitor: Has a one-sided crush towards Roger.
844* HPToOne: Since she made a vow to never kill humans, a fatal blow to human enemies instead reduces their HP down to 1 and any further attacks will miss. [[spoiler:There is an event that allows her to break that vow, but it comes at the cost of Luca's life.]]
845* HunterOfMonsters: Though she cannot kill humans, she highly specializes in hunting monsters. In fact, she starts out with 20 monster kills, meaning that she is more accurate in fighting other monsters and can also obtain the Anti-Evil skill (a skill which gives bonuses against monsters) at Level 16.
846* PowerNullifier: She learns Awareness/Nihil at Level 31.
847* ThouShaltNotKill: Cannot directly kill human enemies unless a certain event occurs late in the game. [[spoiler: If she and Luca are recruited into Runan's army and fielded in Map 26A, Luca will be held hostage by one of Lentzenheimer's men and the game gives you two choices, Raquel refuses to kill a wounded soldier and she is forcibly booted out of the army of Eugen or Luca dies at the hand of soldier, forcing her to break her vows from now on.]]

If he returns to the Temple of Mars in Holmes' route after the first split, he requests his mother to give him a powerful wind magic called Sylphid, a spell that has 18 might, high accuracy, and the ability to prevent counterattack.

1881----
1882* ArmorPiercingAttack: She learns Geomancy/Luna at Level 25.
1883* BlackKnight: Upon promotion, but a different class more toward Mintz's class than Zeek's class.
1884* CharacterPortrait: It is worth noting that she has a unique portrait upon promotion, despite being a minor character.
1885* CuteBruiser
1886* MagikarpPower: She is a lot like Narron except that she comes a bit later. For starters, she learns Elite/Paragon at Level 5.

1899
1900->'''Class:''' Wood Shooter
1901----
1902* {{Expy}}: His purple hair, class, and HandsomeLech personality makes him similar to [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Jake]].
1903* HandsomeLech: He's more interested in picking up chicks than fighting, [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments but he can't see far enough out of his wooden tank to tell if who he's fighting is a girl.]]
1904* NoSell: He learns Big Shield/Pavise at Level 18.
1905* SiegeEngines: In addition to bows, he is capable of wielding ballista weapons, Stonehenge and Quick Rain. However, it is CoolButInefficient as upon using them, he'll become an immobile ballista and thus is a sitting duck if he is not properly protected as the ballista completely removes his high defense stat.
1906* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His title can alternatively be read as ''[[TankGoodness Panzer]]'' Hagaru.
1907* StoneWall: As a Artilleryman, his tank grants him very high defense but terrible movement and his inability to wield anything but bows means that he has a hard time fighting back. He also learns Big Shield/Pavise, which adds to his tankiness.

1936* AssholeVictim: In-Universe. Prince Barker calls him and Pavlov "a bunch of nitwits" and the reason why the Kingdom of Canaan lost Fort Senay and Selba to Runan.
1937* AristocratsAreEvil: Another corrupt noble of Canaan, who hires bandits to steal from the villages in his territory and to kidnap women and children for the Theocracy of Gerxel.
1938* DirtyCoward: When up against the combined forces of Lionheart and Runan, he leaves his bishop Marshall and a few troops to stall them while he and his forces retreat to Fort Balt while carrying stolen treasures.
1939* GetBackHereBoss: Karnell is an elusive boss. He and his goons will try to leave the map with its treasure, so it leaves you wanting to pursue them and get the treasure yourself. Easier said than done, because he and his goons all carry Iron Shields, which let them block 4 physical damage for 4 hits and your mages are too slow to reach them. Karnell himself is also carrying a Main Gauche, which increases his evasion by 20 so he will either dodge your attack or block the potential damage that he will receive.

1970* CastingAShadow: He possesses dark powers, including the unsealed Zahhak spell, which grants him immunity like [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Gharnef and his Imhullu spell]]. He has access to other spells and staves, but they don't mean anything.
1971* CutsceneBoss: [[spoiler:Doesn't stop him from having an epic battle with an NPC Tia and Richard though.]]
1972* {{Expy}}: Set up as one of [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Gharnef]], complete with being a great sage's former pupil turned evil, trying to revive an evil dragon, and having a spell that makes him invincible. Ultimately though, [[spoiler:he has more in common with Nergal and Zephiel, which is kinda strange because ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade'' wasn't even made yet.]]
1973* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:Forty years ago, he was once the Sage of Earth but during the great war, the king of Leda transformed his wife Princess Teeta into Kranion, the Saint Dragon.

1976* GenericDoomsdayVillain: [[spoiler:Ultimately subverted.]]
1977* HiddenDepths: In the final chapter you learn there's a bit more to him than what he appears... [[spoiler: He was once one of the continent's famed 6 Sages, and married to one of the chief priests of the Temple of Earth. Unfortunately, during a great war the cruel king forced her to take the form of a Saint Dragon and essentially become a bioweapon. She did, but something went wrong, [[FaceMonsterTurn she lost her mind, and became unable to change back.]] Unable to stop herself slaughtering innocents, she was exiled to the remote mountains and grew to be feared as the Demon Dragon. Over the years many came to slay this 'beast', and none succeeded, but Guenchaos was watching the entire time. Seeing the brutality shown to one who was once so innocent, Gwen lost his faith in humanity and decided to let the Dark God Gerxel possess his body, both so he could purge humanity and so he could be with his wife for eternity...]]
1978* HumanSacrifice: [[spoiler:He wants to sacrifice the four shamans in order to resurrect Gerxel. He kills Katri, Enteh, and Neyfa but fails to kill Tia.]]

2005* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: Her and Zeek's loved ones were burned at the stake, while the siblings were enslaved. Karla later was recruited by Guenchaos, who trained her as a Witch, and then she had to choose between her family (her lover and her son Theo/Shigen) and becoming TheMistress to King Bahanuke of Canaan, which she saw as a chance to meet her brother again. And then things went FromBadToWorse...]]
2006* TheDragon: To Guenchaos.
2007* {{Expy}}: An odd example; while her role is a dead ringer for Sonia's ([[spoiler:although Karla has a much more sympathetic past]]), ''Tear Ring Saga'' predates ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade'' by just under two years.
2008* LadyOfBlackMagic: As a member of the Witch class, which lets her use magic.
2009* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler: She didn't recognize Shigen as her lost son Theo until the end, and she tells him so. When Shigen says "ThatManIsDead", she says it's fine and that he'll always be Theo to her anyway before dying.]]
2010* TragicVillain: She was once a normal girl but the hardships and the discrimination she endured transformed her into a manipulative person willing to kill her own beloved for deserting the cult.

2023* MistakenIdentity: The dragon that the Ancient Zoans worship on Mt. Cielo was actually a sleeping Miradona. The current Gerxel that Guenchaos is trying to resurrect was Kalbazan.
2024* PuzzleBoss: The wielder of the four swords (Runan, Holmes, Tia, and Sennet) have to be adjacent to Gerxel, then kill him to end the map. Otherwise, he'll get right back up again. At full health.
2025* TimedMission: Fail to defeat him within 20 turns, [[TotalPartyKill everyone dies]]. Literally, everyone in the map, even the enemy. And possibly the entire world except Tia, who he spares just to gloat at her despair before draining her life force and acquiring his full power.
2026* WasOnceAMan: He was originally an ordinary Zoan chieftain named Kalbazan before he drank the blood of Miradona and began calling himself Gerxel.
2027* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Implied. The reason why Miradona provided Yutona and by extension the Shamans with bracelets that limited their power was to prevent them from going mad like Kalbazan did.

2087* CriticalStatusBuff: He starts with Life or Death/Wrath which allows him to kill units with critical hits when he is low in HP. [[spoiler:Try not to get him low enough to instantly critical hit and kill one of your units.]]
2088* CrutchCharacter: He has great bases and growths and one of the best classes in the game. [[spoiler:Too bad he's a mole and leaves you midway through the game.]]
2089* DarkAndTroubledPast: He and his entire family were brutally tortured by the Theocracy of Gerxel and were forced to swear allegiance with them after his younger brother was killed and his sister was next to be killed. [[spoiler:His true past is much darker: he lived a normal life with his noble family until the Kingdom of Reeve persecuted them for their Zoan heritage. While his parents and three elder sisters were burned alive, he and his sister Karla were enslaved as children. While Karla managed to escape, Zeek had to endure years of slavery and torture.]]

2098* MadeASlave: When Barge was conquered by Zoa, he was forced into slavery and eventually Zoa's Dark Army. [[spoiler:In reality, his enslavement happened far earlier and was because he is from Zoa, which are a hated people to the other ethnic groups of Lieberia]].
2099* PowerNullifier: He starts with Awareness/Nihil.
2100* ThePowerOfHate: [[spoiler:Despite the brutality of his slavery that could have killed him, he persevered through it because of his hatred for his enemies and prayers to Gerxel.]]
2101* PunchClockVillain: [[spoiler:After he betrays you, he's basically just fighting for his country, he's just oblivious to the fact that their army mostly consists of evil sorcerers... He also genuinely loves his sister (who happens to be TheDragon), and it turns out her love for him is her main motivation.]]
2102* PurposelyOverpowered: Zieg is such a massive powerhouse with his high base stats, extremely good growths, and a list of good skills. It makes the first half of the game he's in a breeze. [[spoiler:Which is exactly that, the first half. Afterwards, he leaves and never returns.]]
2103* RecurringBoss: [[spoiler:He is fought in both Runan and Holmes' paths in the later parts of the game.]]
2104* ScarsAreForever: He received scars on his back after years of slavery. [[spoiler:Though he lied about receiving them from Zoan slavers to protect his little brother, he did receive them from years of slavery as a Zoan child.]]

2108* TooAwesomeToUse: [[spoiler:Interesting variation: he's very useful for what little time you have him, but he keeps the stats he had when he left when he returns as an enemy. Rely on him too much and he can easily become ThatOneBoss.]]
2109* TokenGoodTeammate: One of the few Zoans to defect from the Cult. [[spoiler: Thanks to his short time with Runan, he is also the only Zoan in the Gerxel Cult who believes that peace between the Reevans and the Zoans is possible (unlike his sister who laughs at inflicting suffering towards non-Zoans) and he did truly love Kate.]]
2110* TragicVillain: [[spoiler:Like his sister Karla, the discrimination and suffering he endured transformed him into a loyal follower of Gerxel. However, his time with Runan's army and his newfound love for Kate manages to change his perspective towards the non-Zoans but unfortunately not enough to induce a HeelFaceTurn. By the end of the game, he is reluctant in serving the Cult despite Karla reminding them of their horrific pasts. He dies as a traitor, unable to resolve his conflicting loyalties.]]

2218* CriticalStatusBuff: He starts with Life or Death/Wrath.
2219* MightyGlacier: He's an Armor Knight, so he is very slow but strong. Interestingly, he is one of the few units to have a movement growth, so he can be a LightningBruiser if you are lucky to have at least one movement boost.

2286----
2287* ButtMonkey: To the point that, in the epilogue, ''Holmes has outright forgotten who he is.''
2288* TheFarmerAndTheViper: [[spoiler:After Katri saved his life, he asked her to come with him to his old hideout. At first, it seems like he was repaying her kindness with treachery, especially since he told her not to tell Holmes about it. However, it is {{Subverted}}, where he was holding true to his word by reuniting her with her guardian, Law.]]
2289* TheFriendNobodyLikes: It's implied that's why he decreases the stats of everyone near him.
2290* JokeCharacter: He's pretty bad, even by the game's standards. He has little to no growth rates, and has a skill which allows him to steal anything after killing an enemy but not only are his stats bad but also it reduces the hit and avoid of everyone around him down by '''50'''.
2291* LethalJokeCharacter: His Mug Skill can be a great way to acquire certain items provided the player has strengthened Maerchen with Lyria's staff and positioned their troops to avoid Mug's negative effects.
2292* PetTheDog: He does one good deed: [[spoiler:saving Law's life when he is wounded and even reuniting him with Katri after his HeelFaceTurn. He's also surprisingly a religious man, which explains saving him.]]

2362The Earth Goddess worshiped in the continent of Lieberia and a princess of the Emiyu race.
2363----
2364* {{Expy}}: She is a combination of several prominent characters in the Fire Emblem mythos: [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Tiki, Naga]], [[VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden Mila and Duma]]. She shares Tiki's youthful appearance and backstory as a young dragonkin who were put to sleep by their single parent for protection, Naga's prominent divinity to the continent and a sponsor to an ancient hero, and Mila and Duma's domain as both "earth goddess" and "war god," owing to the fact that she and Gerxel are one in the same. Her name can also be interpreted as a combination of Mila and Duma's.
2365* NiceJobBreakingItHero: She bestowed a drop of her blood to a Zoan Chieftain named Kalbazan so he could free his people from oppression. That man became the dark god Gerxel. Whoopsie.
2366* PersonOfMassDestruction: Apparently, her powers were too awesome and terrifying that while the native people of Lieberia worshiped her as the Earth Goddess, the Zoan people feared her powers and believed her to be the god of destruction Gerxel.

2371The consul of the Republic of Reeve. His campaign to exterminate the Zoan led to Kalbazan seeking great power.
2372----
2373* EvilColonialist: While his Jugudi ancestors settled in Lieberia, which led to skirmishes with the indigenous Zoan people, Denoas responds with an extermination campaign to wipe out the Zoans.
2374* PosthumousCharacter: He died a hundred years before the events of the game. He was likely killed when Gerxel set his republic ablazed.
2375* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: His merciless treatment towards the Zoans led to Kalbazan desperately seeking Gerxel's power, in which caused Kalbazan to become a dragon and destroyed the Republic.
