5[[folder: Main Characters]]
6
7!!Jack Russell
8A cheerful, but brash young man with aspirations to be a knight, like his father before him. He gets caught directly in the struggle between the humans and non-humans.
9->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JunkoTakeuchi (Japanese), Creator/BrycePapenbrook (English)
10-->''Hey, hey! Easy as pie!''
11----
12* AdaptationalBadass: While he's pretty badass in the video game, in the manga, ''damn''. Pulling off things he couldn't pull off in-game and getting to ''punch Nocturne out'' was pretty awesome.
13* AmbiguousSituation: In the Non-Human ending, [[spoiler:Jack's voice has a mysterious echo to it, something that Ridley's lacks. It's ambiguous exactly what this means, especially since Ridley is the Gold Dragon.]]
14* BadassNormal: He's just a 16 year old kid who just caught up with what has happened with the real world. He could still kick ass be it orc, goblin, mage or anything else with just his sword and items.
15* BlackKnight: If you let him wear the Demon Mail armor. Comes complete with a BadassCape.
16* BloodKnight: A tame example. Jack really enjoys a good fight, which makes him a natural fit for Theater Vancoor after he gets discharged from the Radiata Knights.
17* BornLucky: His default special ability is "Luck Plus," which increases his Luck stat.
18* ButThouMust: Even if you have the Tri-Emblem equipped, and the most powerful armor you have at your disposal, Jack will always lose the HopelessBossFight even if he's still alive after a [[LimitBreak Volty Blast]] in the face.
19* ChickMagnet: On the Human path, he can go on the Fireworks date with nearly any recruitable female human (plus [[EvenTheGuysWantHim Charlie]]).
20* DisappearedDad: Cairn Russell, the knight in the opening scene, died 16 years before the start of the game.
21* EstablishingCharacterMoment: His first on-screen appearance more or less sets his character up perfect. After his sister gives a dramatic speech about how it's time he follows in their father's footsteps, Jack steps out in his pajamas, barely awake, while looking like he wants to sleep again. It sets up how lighthearted he is as a character.
22* FamousAncestor: His father was renowned for being the first human in Radiata to ever kill a Dragon. [[spoiler:Jack follows in his footsteps no matter the route; in the Human path he kills both the Fire and Wind Dragons, and both paths end with him killing the Silver Dragon.]]
23* TheFool: He's rather slow, doesn't take much in the way of anything seriously, and is constantly cracking jokes.
24* ForceAndFinesse: The [[LightningBruiser Finesse]] to Ridley's [[MightyGlacier Force]].
25* GoodMorningCrono: A variation in that he is awake when we meet him, but his introduction fits very well. He wakes up after a dramatic speech by his sister while looking barely awake.
26* HowDoIShotWeb: Jack has to train with weapons in order to be able to wield them effectively.
27* IdiotHero: Living in the countryside really hasn't helped him pick up on certain things when he becomes a knight. CharacterDevelopment makes him somewhat more philosophical, questioning the war regardless of what side he has taken, but at his core he remains fairly simple in terms of his mindset.
28* JackOfAllStats: No pun intended, Jack is pretty powerful on his own, which is good since you have to control him the entire game. His playstyle depends on the weapon he's wielding, and he can learn every single support skill in the game, meaning he can be whatever you want by the end. That said, Jack will never be better than most moderately powerful party members, making him reliant on his skill and weapon choice to give him the edge.
29* LightningBruiser: Jack gets quite the array of support skills, and combined with his weapon choices he becomes a full-blown beast later on. With a sword though, he'll be quick and deal good damage.
30* LimitBreak: Jack can use 4 different Volty Blasts, one for each of the weapon types he can equip.
31** Limit Break - A 9-hit sword combo that ends with a powerful upward slash.
32** Army of Shadows - Jack swings his two-handed sword in the air, [[LivingShadow creating three shadows]] that deliver a powerful slash simultaneously with him.
33** Thousand Spears - A rapid series of spear thrusts. Jack then finishes the attack by driving his spear into the ground and [[StormOfBlades summoning spears]] beneath his target, launching them into the air.
34** [[SpinAttack Radial Smash]] - Jack throws his axe into the air, [[SpectacularSpinning making it spin]]. He then leaps after it, catches it, and spins forward with it in hand to [[GroundPound smash it down into his foe]].
35* MagneticHero: A lot of people comment that he has this effect on them. Despite his sometimes brainless nature, Jack is able to draw people to him, and get people to like him through his upbeat and determined attitude.
36* MaleMightFemaleFinesse: GenderInverted with [[MightyGlacier Ridley]].
37* MightyGlacier: Using a two-handed sword or axe turns Jack into this, since his attacks will be slow, but devastating.
38* MissingMom: His mother died at some point between Cairn's death 16 years ago and the start of the game.
39* MultiMeleeMaster: Unlike other characters, Jack has access to several different weapon types, which includes:
40** [[HeroesPreferSwords One-handed swords]]
41*** AncestralWeapon: The Arbitrator is a special case, since it previously belonged to Jack's father Cairn. [[spoiler:It can only be used in the Nonhuman path, where Jack learns the truth of Cairn's death.]]
42** [[{{BFS}} Two-handed swords]] and [[KatanasAreJustBetter katanas]]
43** Spears
44** Axes
45* NiceJobBreakingItHero: His attempt to protect the Fire Dragon in the Non-Human path ends up [[spoiler:giving Cross the item he needs to kill it]]. If Jack hadn't interfered, Parsec could have killed Cross and Dynas without issue.
46* OrnamentalWeapon: Up to the route split, Jack lugs around the Arbitrator, the sword previously wielded by his father, without ever wielding it.
47** In the Human path, [[spoiler:the sword stays this way, since Jack is unknowingly aware of it being tainted by Algandars]].
48** In the Nonhuman path, [[spoiler:this is subverted once Gawain confirms that Jack has unknowingly purified the sword, after which Jack is able to equip it]].
49* ParentalAbandonment: His father, Cairn, died 16 years before the game begins; according to Jack in the nonhuman path, his mother also died some time after that.
50* ThePollyanna: Even before the route split, the game definitely puts him through the wringer. Yet Jack has a cheerful and upbeat attitude in almost every situation.
51* PunnyName: His name is a breed of a dog. Just like said breed, he's very energetic.
52* RedOniBlueOni: Red to Ganz's and Ridley's blue.
53* ShellShockedVeteran: [[spoiler:In the Human ending, he ends up leaving Radiata in utter silence, having become nearly broken by the losses seen in the war and failing to protect Ridley.]]
54* SingleTargetSexuality: He only has eyes for Ridley. Made more explicit with the Fireworks date on the Human path, where he'll just be focusing on the fireworks and not paying any attention to his date.
55* TookALevelInBadass: At the start of the game, he gets floored by Ridley in one shot. By the end of the game on both endings, he [[spoiler:kills the Silver Dragon Aphelion]].
56* TheUnChosenOne: Jack is a nobody in terms of his importance to both the war and [[spoiler:the Dragons' ResetButton]]. However, through sheer determination and wanting to protect his friends and loved ones, Jack ends up changing the world no matter which path he picks.
57* UnwittingPawn: In the Human path, Jack is a pawn of [[spoiler:Lucian, aka, the Silver Dragon Aphelion.]]
58* WeCannotGoOnWithoutYou: Jack is the only playable character, so it's game over if he gets killed in battle.
59* WeakButSkilled: Jack doesn't have the sheer power many other party members do, which is reflected in how even with some of the best weapons and skills he can't hit as hard as late-game characters. What Jack does have though is a wide amount of combo potential, four different weapon types, and the ability to use every other character's support skill, giving him a wide amount of versatility despite his overall damage output.
60* WeirdnessMagnet: Despite being a simple village boy with aspirations to become a knight, he seems to be the epicenter for lots of important events.
61
62!!Ridley Silverlake
63A serious young noblewoman who has spent most of her life training to be a knight. Much like Jack, she gets swept up directly between the human and nonhuman struggle.
64-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SanaeKobayashi (Japanese), Creator/StephanieSheh (English)
65----
66* ActionGirl: Among the first of many female characters who can join your party.
67* ApocalypseMaiden: [[spoiler: As the Gold Dragon, her ascension will destroy and reset humanity if she is not murdered first.]]
68* BattleBallgown: Ridley gains more armor on her second and third outfits, keeping the miniskirt of her first outfit.
69* RedOniBlueOni: Blue To Jack.
70* BreakTheCutie: Her near death at the ends of the Blood Orc early on more or less breaks Ridley's ego and pride, having realized how close she came to nearly dying. From that point on, she becomes much softer and realizes how truly dangerous the world is after, and she never truly recovers from that moment.
71* DefrostingIceQueen: Most of her coldness is shown towards Jack at the beginning of the game, but she starts to warm up to him later in the game, particularly in the nonhuman route.
72* DubNameChange: Her surname was changed from Timberlake in Japanese to Silverlake.
73* ForceAndFinesse: The [[MightyGlacier Force]] to Jack's [[LightningBruiser Finesse]].
74* GameBreakingInjury: A Blood Orc fatally injures her early in the game which results in her being unusable for a good portion of the game. Unusual for the trope is that she recovers and becomes even stronger.
75* GirlishPigtails: At first. She lets down her hair over the course of the game.
76* GlacierWaif: Wields a huge axe and has very high physical strength.
77* GuestStarPartyMember: She is part of your squad after you join the knights, then becomes unusable after you are forced to leave. She rejoins later [[spoiler:if you choose to go with her at the story split]], but even then she regularly becomes unavailable and isn't usable in the endgame. Inexplicably, she can't even be used in the postgame.
78* HopelessBossFight: The first fight in the game against her is completely unwinnable, even with NewGamePlus bonuses.
79* {{Hypocrite}}: She was hostile towards Jack early in the game because she believed he was only accepted as a knight because of his father's reputation. Later, when she finds out her own father used his connections to get her promoted, she does not turn it down despite knowing she didn't earn it. What she does is give her dad a tongue lashing.[[note]]Given that Larks is forced to dismiss Jack and Ganz, it's possible that Ridley couldn't refuse the promotion.[[/note]]
80* LadyOfWar: Ridley is a strong fighter while maintaining her noble status even during battle.
81* TheLancer: In the Non-Human path, she's usually the first to support Jack and go with his plans.
82* LettingHerHairDown: She spends the last parts of the game with her hair down from their pigtails.
83* LimitBreak
84** [[SwordBeam Wild Pitch]] - Ridley psyches herself up, then [[SpinAttack spins her axe]] several times, charging up an energy blast that she sends at her foe.
85* MagicSkirt: Her first outfit gives her one. She wears something similar in most of her outfits later but she also wears more armor so it can be hard to notice.
86* MaleMightFemaleFinesse: GenderInverted with [[LightningBruiser Jack]].
87* MinidressOfPower: She keeps her short skirt in all of her outfits and is very capable in battle.
88* MissingMom: Ridley's mother, Lady Sigourney, is mentioned at various points throughout the story, but she never makes any appearance. It is not known whether she is alive or not.
89* NomDeMom: Her father married into the noble Silverlake family, but he is not allowed to carry their name. This is why he is still "Lord Colton" while Ridley is "Lady Silverlake".
90* {{Ojou}}: Her family is nobility, but interestingly Ridley seems to not care about that. She even abandon's her title and power at the halfway point of the game.
91* QuicklyDemotedWoman: Inverted. After two missions she is promoted from trainee to captain because her Dad pulled some strings.
92* SharingABody: [[spoiler: After receiving the transpiritation ritual, she receives the soul of the light elf Hap, and becomes the vessel for the Gold Dragon. Hap is mostly dead, but on occasion, Ridley finds herself speaking Elvish without meaning to, and its implied this is the reason she is chosen as the Gold Dragon's vessel later.]]
93* TomboyishName
94* TookALevelInBadass: Subtle but if you watch her fight early in the game, she has a habit of falling over in her combos. Later in the Non-Human path, she's swinging her axe and doing elaborate combos without any trouble.
95* {{Tsundere}}: CharacterDevelopment drops the Tsun part and Jack later brings out her Dere side.
96* UnskilledButStrong: While she has more skill than Jack, at the start of the game, Ridley's fighting style is rough and shows her having some trouble with it, but she hits very hard even early on.
97
98!!Ganz Rothschild
99A polite and genteel man in command of the Rose Cochon Brigade of the Radiata Knights. Having lived a sheltered life, he is innocent to the ways of the world and very enthusiastic.
100-->'''Voiced by''': Mizuki Saito (Japanese), Robert Martin Klein (English)
101----
102* BigBrotherMentor: For Jack in the beginning.
103* TheBigGuy: Despite being very short, he fills this role out in the group thanks to his older, more mature mindset, and wielding the largest weapon.
104* DisappearedDad: [[spoiler:His father fled after he killed Jack's father. Meeting him in the Non-Human path ends up being a major event for him.]]
105* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:In the ending of the Nonhuman Path, Ganz stays with the corpse of his father as the City of White Nights collapses, refusing to escape with Jack and Ridley.]]
106* DrowningMySorrows: [[spoiler:After the double whammy of getting kicked out of the Radiata Knights and failing to join Theater Vancoor (something Jack succeeded at), Ganz becomes a pathetic homeless drunkard for a good while until a few thieves from the Void Community take pity on him and take him in.]]
107* FamousAncestor: Much like Jack, Ganz's father Gawain is a famous Radiata Knight.
108* FishOutOfWater: [[spoiler: When Ganz is kicked out of the Radiata Knights and decides to join the Void Community.]]
109* GuestStarPartyMember: Similarly to Ridley, he is one of your squadmates when you join the knights. After being forced out of the knights, you go your separate ways. He does rejoin as a full party member if you [[spoiler:side with the non-humans]]; otherwise, he never rejoins.
110* JourneyToFindOneself: [[spoiler:On the Human route, he leaves Radiata to find his place in the world and meaning.]]
111* KnightInSourArmor: Ganz continues to believe in the ideals of knighthood even when all the odds are against him.
112* LiquidCourage: He attempts this before [[spoiler:his attempt to join Theater Vancoor after being kicked out of the knights]], but it ultimately backfires on him and he fails his application.
113* LimitBreak
114** [[ChargedAttack Ganz Breaker]] - Ganz charges up his two-handed sword with energy, then charges sword-first at his enemy. Ganz Breaker can mean "[[BilingualBonus complete breaker]]" in German.
115* MightyGlacier: Most of Ganz's attacks are slow since he wields a two-handed sword.
116* OddFriendship: With [[spoiler:Rynka and Flau]].
117* OutOfFocus: In the human path at least, which is weird considering he's one of the three main characters. While his exploits with the Void Community are shown, he doesn't take part in most of the latter half of the game and the last you see of him is when he goes on the aforementioned JourneyToFindOneself. In the Nonhuman path, he eventually rejoins Jack for the rest of the story.
118* ParentalAbandonment: Gawain left behind a young Ganz after the death of Cairn Russell.
119* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Jack's red.
120* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: If you [[spoiler:side with the humans]], he goes on the aforementioned JourneyToFindOneself and you never hear from him again. Averted if you [[spoiler:side with the nonhumans]], in which case he returns and joins your party.
121[[/folder]]
122
123!Other Human Characters:
124
125[[folder:Radiata Knights]]
126
127!!Dynas Stone
128The General of the Radiata Knights, who spent many years serving under Ganz's father Gawain in the Rouge Lion Brigade. He is a cautious leader and prefers to avoid fighting whenever possible.
129-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MasashiHirose (Japanese), Creator/ChristopherCoreySmith (English)
130----
131* BaldOfAuthority: Dynas is the head of the Radiata Knights and his cue ball is as shiny as his helmet.
132* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:In both the Human and Non-Human paths. Poor guy can't catch a break.]]
133* CoolOldGuy: He's older than most of the other knights, but is very friendly and lacks the same negative traits that someone like Cross has.
134* DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler:On the Non-Human path, he is quickly killed by Cross out of anger for him getting in the way of his attempts to win the war]].
135* EpicFlail: He wields a spiked flail known as the Earth Crusher in battle.
136* GuestStarPartyMember: Only in special conditions. If you take on the Wind Dragon with only three party members, he joins you to fight it and only for that battle.
137* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:In the Human path, he throws himself in front of the Fire Dragon to protect Cross.]]
138* KnightInShiningArmor: While he may not look it, Dynas plays many of the heroic traits straight, being honorable and friendly. His heroic nature makes him a GoodCounterpart to Cross in particular.
139* LimitBreak:
140** Hurricane Lion - Dynas [[SpinAttack swings his flail]] over his head several times, creating a tornado. He then leaps into the air, and smashes his flail into his enemy.
141* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: In the human path especially, he places great trust in Jack and his abilities even when he starts to doubt himself.
142* SupportingLeader: While Dynas isn't the ruler of Radiata, as the general of its knights, he is essentially the right hand man of the city and leads it into battle.
143
144!!Cross Ward
145A young nobleman and captain of the Noire Mouton Brigade of the Radiata Knights. He is extremely arrogant and belligerent, which puts him at odds with General Stone and Jack constantly. Cross believes that fairy creatures are lesser than humans.
146-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KenNarita (Japanese), Creator/RichardCansino (English)
147----
148* AdaptationalBadass: In the game he was only able to kill the Earth Dragon through sheer luck. In the manga he cuts it down with the same ease that (in Alicia's words) "one would kill a dying cat."
149* AdaptationalVillainy: While already plenty evil in the game, the manga adds a few more bad deeds to his name. Namely [[spoiler: being the one who hired the Void Community to kidnap Princess Bellflower instead of Lucian]] and mocking Jack over his father's death.
150* AristocratsAreEvil: On the human side, he is the strongest proponent for eradicating the fairy creatures and he shows disdain to Jack for his common origins.
151* DisposableFiance: His engagement with Ridley seems to be purely political, as Ridley can't stand him.
152* EvenEvilHasStandards: Make no mistake, Cross is a complete and utter bastard out for himself, but he's still fighting for humanity. Jack becoming humanity's trump card in the Human path makes Cross go postal and try to seize fame his own violent way, [[spoiler: but he still sacrifices his life to warn Jack about Lucian rather than try to save his own neck.]] In the non-Human path, he doesn't get such a moment, but is still the 'hero' of humans, so one can allege that he's not all batshit insane off-camera.
153* FantasticRacism: He's a nasty piece of work, but Cross's most prominent trait is the fact that he's ready and willing to jump into ''genocidal warpaths'' against non-human species at the slightest inclination. The leader of the Dwarves tries to give him some casual advice? Label the whole species traitors and try to wipe them from the face of Radiata! He isn't JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope so much as diving right off of it headfirst with ''glee''.
154* HumansAreBastards: Cross displays the absolute worst of humanity, and is ultimately the reason why conflict occurs in the second half of the story.
155* {{Jerkass}}: He seems to exist purely to antagonize Jack at every step of the way.
156* LimitBreak:
157** [[SwordBeam Celestial Line]] - Cross charges his two-handed sword with a [[LightIsNotGood pillar of light]], making it glow with energy, then drives the [[SwordPlant sword into the ground]]. He takes out a white rose, throws it into the air, and takes his sword out, unleashing a blast that destroys the rose and his enemy.
158* PetTheDog: In the Human path, [[spoiler:Cross's last action is warning Jack that Lucian is the Silver Dragon when he could have played dead.]]
159* RomanticFalseLead: He is introduced as Ridley's fiance, but there is not much romance, if any, between the two of them.
160* SlasherSmile: In the manga.
161* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Cross has silver-grey hair and is one of the most evil characters in the story.
162
163!!Natalie Nanette
164A female knight belonging to the Violet Chevre, an elite cadre of Radiata Knights. She is as competitive as any man, and is skilled in command, weaponry, and strategy.
165-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YuiHorie (Japanese), Creator/CarrieSavage (English)
166----
167* ActionGirl: She is one of the only noteworthy named female Radiata knights and one of the strongest characters on the human side, mostly being outclassed by the guild leaders.
168* ArentYouGoingToRavishMe: Natalie blushes visibly after being defeated in the nonhuman path when Jack tells her to do exactly as he says. Although Jack, being an innocent rube, doesn't seem to catch the hint.
169* BodyguardCrush: Her.. "relationship" with Lord Jasne is very interesting, to say the least.
170* TheCaptain: Of the Violet Chevre knights.
171* CoolBigSis: Nina thinks of her this way, at least.
172* DubNameChange: From Natsume Nagi to Natalie Nanette, maintaining the AlliterativeName.
173* IgnoredEnamoredUnderling: Natalie is utterly devoted to Lord Jasne, following any kind of orders that he asks of her even if it interrupts with her own knightly duties. [[spoiler: In the nonhuman path, Natalie's repeated failures to bring Ridley back to him causes him to abandon her, which she is devastated by.]]
174* KnightInShiningArmor: Represents the best of the Radiata Knights and stands up to [[spoiler: Jack when it is believed that he kidnapped her in the nonhuman path.]]
175* LadyOfWar: Natalie is very feminine and she has a very graceful fighting style in battle with her sword.
176* LightningBruiser: One of the strongest and fastest characters on the human side, due to the fact that she fights with a one-handed sword.
177* LimitBreak:
178** [[DiagonalCut First Class Flurry]] - Natalie delivers a quick series of slashes with her sword, then bows her head gracefully as all of the attacks occur at once.
179* MagikarpPower: Of a sort. Natalie's stats and attacks are rather good. However, her level when you can finally recruit her is quite low, forcing you to grind with her to get her up to a usable level.
180* MobileShrubbery: She and Leonard spy on Ridley on the mission to the City of Flowers by carrying around bushes with them.
181* PinkMeansFeminine: Her knight's armor is a bright shade of pink.
182* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: One of the highest ranking members of the Radiata Knights and exemplifies the best of the knighthood.
183
184!!Charlie
185One of the Royal Radiata Knights, whose flamboyant manner and speech tend to put people off. He has a fondness for strong warriors and cute people.
186----
187* AssKicksYou: One of his attacks.
188* CampGay / MachoCamp: He has a fondness for strong warriors, can be taken out on a date, and at one point is seen exiting the women's restroom without anyone batting an eye.
189* GayOption: Of sorts. Jack can take Charlie on the festival date.
190* JokeCharacter: Charlie attacks very slowly and he can't be recruited in the human path until quite late in the game, making him a poor choice as a party member.
191* ProjectileKiss: One of his attacks, which is capable of inflicting confusion on an enemy. He's also seen doing it in his character art.
192* {{BFS}}: Carries around a two-handed sword, but he seems to utilize it the least among his attacks.
193
194!!Nina
195A Royal Radiata Knight with a businesslike personality. She idolizes Natalie and hopes to take her place someday.
196----
197* 24HourArmor: Unlike other characters, Nina will still wear her knight's armor if Jack takes her on the fireworks date.
198* ActionGirl: One of the only named female members of the Radiata Knights.
199* LadyOfWar: She's still quite feminine despite wearing a full set of knight's armor and wielding a huge two-handed sword.
200* CantCatchUp: Despite being one of the royal knights, Nina is easily surpassed by other characters who can join you earlier in the game than she can.
201* HeroWorshipper: Towards Natalie, the captain of the Violet Chevre brigade.
202* ShipTease: Implied to have a crush on Jack in the manga. Nina is also one of the characters that Jack can take on the festival date.
203
204!!Leonard Ford
205A Royal Radiata Knight who is Jack's room leader. Despite his gruff attitude, he cares a lot for the trainees and is friendly and down-to-earth. He is rarely seen without Natalie.
206-->'''Voiced by:''' Dai Matsumoto (Japanese), Joe Cappelletti (English)
207----
208* BigBrotherMentor: Towards Jack and the other knight trainees.
209* CantCatchUp: Like many characters, Leonard can be easily surpassed by the time you can recruit him.
210* CompetenceZone: Jokingly referred to. He's 21, but Jack thinks that he looks and acts 10 years older.
211* HopelessSuitor: Towards Natalie. He seems to spend all of his free time with her, but she only has eyes for Lord Jasne. A small sidequest early in the game centers around Leonard ordering a bracelet as a gift for Natalie, but Jack doesn't think it will make Natalie return Leonard's affection.
212* MobileShrubbery: When the Rose Cochon journey to the City of Flowers, he and Natalie spy on them by hiding behind some bushes that they carry.
213* OvershadowedByAwesome: By the time Leonard can be recruited in your party in the human path, it's very likely that he'll be surpassed by many of the characters you have recruited already.
214* YoungerThanTheyLook: Jack has trouble believing that he's only 21 years old.
215
216!! Patrick
217Lead jailer in Radiata Castle. Once a knight himself, he was eventually demoted because of his laid-back attitude and dinged with basement duty, a position the other knights despise. He's easy to talk to and well-liked.
218----
219* CantCatchUp: Like many of the Radiata knights, he will probably be outmatched by the time he can be recruited.
220* FaceOfAThug: He's mentioned as being very friendly and well-liked despite his appearance.
221* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has a scar on the left side of his face from his eye down to his mouth.
222
223!! Putt
224The incompetent assistant jailer in Radiata Castle. Though cowardly and lazy, he's generally known to be a nice guy.
225----
226* AmbiguouslyBrown: He is noticeably darker-skinned than most of the human characters.
227* CantCatchUp: By the time he can be recruited in the human path, he'll likely be outclassed, like many of the Radiata knights.
228* MightyGlacier: His attacks are very slow, since he wields a two-handed hammer.
229
230!! Gawain Rothschild
231The Lion of the West. Ganz's father and one of the greatest of the Radiata Knights to have ever existed. He was best friends with Cairn, but he later confessed to murdering him and left Radiata in exile, abandoning his wife and son.
232-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JamiesonPrice (English)
233----
234* AnimalMotifs: Strongly associated with lions, the heraldic animal of his clan.
235* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:Gawain tried to dissuade Cairn from fighting the Water Dragon, but Cairn ignored his advice and became infected with Algandars. Gawain confessed to Cairn's death (even though he wasn't the one who killed Cairn directly) and left to live with the non-humans in exile, blaming himself.]]
236* BigOlEyebrows: He has very big eyebrows as bushy as his moustache.
237* CoolOldGuy: Gawain is quite older than most of the human characters in the story, but is no less of a badass.
238* DelinquentHair: Sports a fiery red mohawk. [[spoiler:He also happens to be aligned with the non-humans.]]
239* DisappearedDad: He left his family 16 years prior to the story, leaving behind a young Ganz.
240* FamousAncestor: Comes from a long line of knights of the Rothschild clan and counts as one towards Ganz.
241* FieryRedhead: Has a stubborn and fiery personality as wild as his red mohawk.
242* HopelessBossFight: [[spoiler:On the Non-Human path, he tests Jack after finding out who he is.]]
243* LimitBreak:
244** Leo Smash Royale - Gawain uses his crossbow to shoot [[PlayingWithFire several fiery blasts]] shaped like lion heads at his enemy, then leaps into the air and smashes them with his morning star.
245* MeaningfulName: In Arthurian legend, the knight Gawain was initially portrayed as a noble and valiant knight and one of the most loyal supporters of King Arthur, but later tales put him in a much less favorable light.
246* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler: He considers himself personally responsible for the death of Cairn and the reason why he turned his back to the Radiata Knights.]]
247* [[spoiler: ReasonableAuthorityFigure]]
248* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:In the Epic of Jack manga, which follows the Human Path. Jack, having learned the truth behind his father's death from Zane, spares him after beating him.]]
249* RedBaron: The "Lion of the West" certainly qualifies.
250* WanderingTheEarth: After the death of Cairn.
251* CarryABigStick / EpicFlail - Gawain uses a huge spiked morning star that can double as a flail since the spiked ball at the top is [[VariableLengthChain attached to a chain]].
252
253!! Cairn Russell
254Jack and Adele's father who served in the Radiata Knights. He's known as the hero who was able to defeat the Water Dragon, as you see in the prologue. He is believed to have been killed by Gawain before the story begins.
255----
256* BadassCape: Wears a long cape attached to his armor, like many of the other top-ranking Radiata Knights.
257* {{BFS}}: In Cairn's hands the Arbitrator somehow was this instead of a one-handed sword in Jack's. [[spoiler:He also wields a different one as an OptionalBoss in the postgame Distortion Corridor.]]
258* [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu Did You Just Single-Handedly Kill The Water Dragon]]
259* DisappearedDad: He's been dead for 16 years by the time the story begins.
260* FamousAncestor: Many characters in the story are already familiar with Cairn's exploits as a knight when they meet Jack.
261* GameplayAndStorySegregation: [[spoiler:For whatever little the story has in the bonus dungeon, Cairn insists that he and Jack fight in a duel and Jack accepts. However, if you have allies with you at the time, the game has them join as per usual.]]
262%%* OptionalBoss: [[spoiler: He can be faced in the Distortion Corridor.]]
263* PosthumousCharacter: Cairn is already dead by the game's beginning, but nonetheless his exploits are still important throughout the entirety of the story.
264* PunnyName: Named after a breed of terrier, like his son.
265* RedEyesTakeWarning: In the game's opening cinematic, Cairn's eyes glow ominously red as he is about to kill the Water Dragon.
266* SwordBeam: In the prologue. [[spoiler:Curiously, he doesn't use it in his OptionalBoss fight, though that may be because he doesn't have Arbitrator anymore.]]

269
270[[folder:Radiata Nobles]]
271
272!!Lord Salute Larks
273The prime minister of Radiata and commander-in-chief of the Radiata Knights. Although he is intelligent and thoughtful, he is also gullible and easily swayed by fools like Lord Jasne.
274-->'''Voiced by:''' Takeharu Onishi (Japanese), Dave Mallow (English)
275----
276* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: One of the only figures of authority who speaks up on Jack's behalf in the storyline.
277* NumberTwo: Despite Radiata's status as a monarchy, by all appearances Larks seems to be the main political power in Radiata. King Jiorus often defers all of the important decision-making to him.
278
279!!Lord Lucian Hewitt [[spoiler:aka Aphelion, the Silver Dragon]]
280A Radiata nobleman and adviser to Lord Larks. He seems to know a lot more than he lets on.
281-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MitsuruMiyamoto (Japanese), Creator/JBBlanc (English)
282----
283* AntiVillain: [[spoiler:He seeks to make Humans equal to the other races and (according to the Non-Human path) "be free of the abominable sleep forever", finding it hypocritical that Humans are forced to die while the other races aren't.]]
284* TheChessmaster: Lucian does not take direct action in the story until the very end, slowly manipulating humanity to defeating the dragons behind the scenes.
285* DudeLooksLikeALady: Due to his very long hair and androgynous facial features.
286* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:Accepts his death after Jack kills him in the Human path.]]
287* HeelFaceTurn / FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:Depending on who you consider the good guys, he had pulled either one or the other some time before the game starts when he decided HumansAreSpecial and should be given a chance to live without the dragons repeatedly hitting the ResetButton.]]
288* FinalBoss: [[spoiler:He is the final boss in both routes.]]
289* HumansAreSpecial: [[spoiler:{{Deconstructed}}. It isn't that Humans are special, the issue he has with how the Cosmic Order of Tottaus operates is that Humans are the only ones forced to die when the world is reset. From his perspective, it isn't fair that Humans die for no reason while the other races are totally fine. Basically his issue is that Humans are special in a bad way]].
290* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler:An aphelion is an astronomical term used to refer to a celestial body's furthest point from the sun.]]
291* WalkingSpoiler: It's nearly impossible to discuss Lucian's role in the story [[spoiler: without revealing his role as the Silver Dragon.]]
292* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:His goal is to make Humanity equal to the other races. A fairly reasonable goal, but his methods involve killing his fellow Dragons and causing a world war to do so. He also sees no issue killing anyone who gets in his way.]]
293
294!!Lord Jasne Colton
295Ridley's father, he married into the Silverlake family and also fosters peace for both humans and non-humans. He's also the man who was responsible for [[spoiler:kicking out both Jack and Ganz from the knights because of what happened with Ridley]].
296-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KenichiOgata (Japanese), Creator/SkipStellrecht (English)
297----
298* AlasPoorVillain: Though he is hardly a villain outside of getting Jack and Ganz kicked out of the Knights, Jasne's story doesn't end happy in either route. The last time we see him in the Human Path, he is [[spoiler:pathetically getting drunk crying over Ridley being gone. Then she dies. We don't get to see how he is affected by that]]. In the Nonhuman path he [[spoiler:shares the same fate as the rest of humanity, presumably destroyed when Ridley joins with Quasar, though it's ambiguous]].
299* FamilyPortraitOfCharacterization: While exploring Radiata Castle, Jack can find a portrait of the Silverlake family which depicts Ridley with her parents. Jack comments that Lord Jasne looks quite "scary" in the portrait, reflecting his demeanor. Notably, Jasne's face doesn't look anything like his current appearance.
300* HenpeckedHusband: Because it is his wife and daughter who carry the Silverlake name, it is implied that his wife is the one making the noble family's decisions. Jack certainly thinks so, and compares Jasne to a donkey pulling a cart.
301* {{Hypocrite}}: Calls Larks out for defending Jack and Ganz by using their fathers' reputations, saying that "knights cannot ride on the coattails of their parents". This is from the guy who is using his own connections to give his daughter a promotion even she knew she did not earn. Indeed, Larks points this out: "I did not expect to hear that from you."
302* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Overprotective issues aside, he is shown to be a rather reasonable diplomat, doing everything he can to build human-nonhuman relationships and trying to avoid war.
303* UglyGuysHotDaughter: Ridley doesn't seem to share any physical resemblance to her father. Thankfully, she takes after her mother's good looks.
304* UngratefulBastard: You'd think he'd be grateful for Jack and Ganz for saving his daughter. Instead, he blames them for putting her in danger.
305[[/folder]]
306
307[[folder:Theater Vancoor]]
308!! Elwen
309The chief of Theater Vancoor. Elwen is very powerful, but is polite and calm, and is personally acquainted with many fairy creatures.
310->'''Voiced by:''' Sachie Okada (Japanese), Creator/MaryElizabethMcGlynn (English)
311-->''No enemy can stand against the might of the holy sword Avcoor!''
312----
313* ActionGirl: She is the leader of the mercenaries, so she is very action-y.
314* AmbiguouslyHuman: If Elwen is recruited in the human path, her race is listed as "Human?", possibly due to her otherworldly strength and connection to the fairy creatures, but it is never really elaborated on.
315* ContractualBossImmunity: One of the very few [=NPCs=] to play this completely straight. While most [=NPCs=] you can duel will be weak to status effects which can allow you to cheese them while underlevel with poison (Gerald quickly comes to mind), Elwen's armor makes her immune to basically all status effects, meaning if you want to recruit her, you'll have to defeat her fair and square (or with repeated Volty Blasts if you have enough {{Tsuchinoko}} Dumplings, but those are rare).
316* CoolHelmet: A barbute-style helmet with a very tall pair of horns obscures her face.
317* CulturedWarrior: She is very calm, well-spoken, and respectful. She doesn't seem to bear any ill will against the fairy creatures, which is demonstrated in the non-human route, and seems to value love and fairness.
318* DefeatMeansFriendship: Jack must defeat her in a one-on-one duel before he can recruit her.
319* FieldPowerEffect: Elwen is already powerful, but during the day her King of Day ability kicks in and gives her bonus attributes, making her even more powerful.
320* HeartbrokenBadass: Elwen was once the disciple of a man named Alfred and was in love with him. He was the former bearer of Elwen's sword Avcoor. He passed away under mysterious circumstances, and after that Elwen obtained his sword and formed Theater Vancoor. She constructed a shrine for him in the Path of the Spider.
321** In the nonhuman path, after fighting Jack and his group, she asks him why he fights for the fairy creatures and he replies that it is all for the sake of Ridley. Elwen sympathizes with him and tells him that everything that she fights for is for her deceased love, Alfred.
322* HeroOfAnotherStory: It seems to be that Elwen's past is rather storied. You don't learn much about it other than that she was in love with a powerful man named Alfred and that she had gone to war with the dragons before, but she clearly has a history behind her. It doesn't help that she's the single strongest recruitable character in the main story.
323* HopelessBossFight: In the nonhuman path, she has no trouble facing off against the player's full party of four and defeating them easily. [[spoiler:It is not required to win against her, and she allows him to pass since she sees the good in his intentions. Though that said, that fight is one of the few not to play the trope completely straight as while she will ''almost certainly'' wipe the floor with you, she is actually 100% defeatable with the right set up unlike every other HopelessBossFight that doesn't even have a health gauge and will eventually Volty Blast to instantly defeat you.]]
324* LadyOfWar: Underneath her helmet, Elwen is very beautiful and feminine and she demonstrates great skill in battle.
325* LimitBreak:
326** Radiant Sword - Elwen turns Avcoor into a {{BFS}} of glowing energy and slashes the enemy twice.
327* LightningBruiser: She is utterly fearsome to behold in battle, fighting incredibly fast while wielding a two-handed sword ''one-handed'' and often completing her entire combo in a short amount of time.
328* TheMentor: Serves as this to Jack in the Epic of Jack manga [[spoiler:in the place of Gawain, being the one to decide when he's worthy of the Arbitrator]]. Her bio in the Friends List also states that she encourages people to do the right thing.
329* ShouldersOfDoom: Her armor has a very large set of pauldrons.
330* TwentyFourHourArmor: She is always seen in full armor with helmet, even when she's simply writing at her desk. She is seen in one cutscene about to take her helmet off, but she stops when she hears someone at the door. The player can only see her without her helmet in the Friends List if she is recruited, however.
331** CoolSword: Elwen's weapon is a powerful, one-handed sword that glows with light energy.
332** NamedWeapons - Her sword is named Avcoor.
333** {{BFS}} / OneHandedZweihander - Falvern, Avcoor's equally large EvilCounterpart, is used as a two-handed weapon.
334
335!! Gerald Nickson
336The deputy chief of Theater Vancoor, and leader of the Zweit Squad. He is known as Gerald the Iron Slasher, and is admired by warriors and feared by his foes. He can be intimidating but he takes good care of his subordinates.
337-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/UnshoIshizuka (Japanese), Creator/BeauBillingslea (English)
338----
339* AFatherToHisMen: Although he has a rough manner, Gerald is known for taking good care of his men.
340* BadassLongcoat: Wears one over his warrior armor, adding to his coolness.
341* EyepatchOfPower: He wears an eyepatch over his scarred left eye.
342* HotBlooded: He is quite fearsome and intimidating, especially when compared to the more level-headed Elwen and Caesar.
343* ILetYouWin: He reportedly [[spoiler:let Nocturne win their duel for the deputy chief position, since Nocturne suffered an injury beforehand that Gerald felt responsible for. This backfired, as once Nocturne found out, he left Theater Vancoor out of anger and eventually made his way to the notorious Void Community]]. [[spoiler:Nocturne also implies that Gerald pulled this trope on Jack during the kid's attempt to recruit him, although Gerald does not give either the time to dwell on it]].
344* LimitBreak: His Dual Wave Blade involves him charging both of his blades with energy and sending [[SwordBeam an X-shaped blast]] at his foe.
345* LightningBruiser: With his dual blades, Gerald is a very fast attacker and he is capable of pulling off his combo in a short amount of time.
346* TheRival: To Nocturne.
347* DualWielding: Gerald wields a longsword and a parrying dagger.
348** NamedWeapons: His fire-elemental longsword is named Oratorio, while his wind-elemental parrying dagger is named Requiem.
349
350!! Caesar
351A sergeant of Theater Vancoor. Known as Caesar the Immortal. He is known for taking on impossible tasks and coming back alive, usually at the costs of his comrades.
352-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/GrantGeorge (English)
353----
354* EyesAlwaysShut: Caesar is never seen with his eyes open throughout the game.
355* AFatherToHisMen: Due to his status as often being the only member of his squad to come back alive from difficult tasks, he feels that he has a responsibility to his subordinates.
356* NamedWeapons: His two-handed katana, Bloody Grip, can inflict a curse when attacking and is said to seek out fresh blood from new victims.
357* {{Samurai}}: Wields a long katana in battle and wears red lacquered Japanese-style armor.
358* SamuraiPonytail: Wears his long gray hair in a tall ponytail.
359* WeDoTheImpossible: Caesar is known in-universe for being able to accomplish impossible tasks, likely due to sheer luck. In-game, his Luck stat is 255.
360
361!! Alicia Alen
362A sergeant in Theater Vancoor who is a descendant of the great hero Alfred. She is the youngest sergeant in Theater Vancoor, but she always does her duties with a smile.
363----
364* ActionGirl: She's one of the two female warriors in Theater Vancoor, along with Chief Elwen.
365* AnimalMotifs: Swans. She has wings on the side of her helmet.
366* BloodKnight: Milder example than Jack and Gerald, but it's still there.
367* ChainmailBikini: Her armor leaves her neck, upper arms, and thighs mostly exposed.
368* CompressedHair: She normally wears her hair in a long braid that can be seen in her date outfit, but one wouldn't be able to tell normally in her warrior outfit.
369* CoolHelmet: She wears a tall helmet with a pair of wings that conveniently allows her to show her face.
370* DefeatEqualsFriendship: Alicia will join Jack's Friends List after defeating her in the Path of the Spider in the human route.
371* FamousAncestor: A descendant of the hero Alfred Roberts, but cannot bear his name because of her gender.
372* GlassCannon: Has high Strength growths, but only average HP.
373* KlingonPromotion: Non-lethal variant. She became a sergeant after beating Thanos, her then sergeant.
374* LadyOfWar: Alicia is very feminine and has a graceful fighting style with her sword.
375* LeotardOfPower: Her armor gives her this appearance since her thighs are exposed.
376* RoseHairedSweetie: She has long pink hair and is always described as doing her duties with a smile.
377* ShowgirlSkirt: Her skirt allows her to show off her legs.
378
379!! Dennis
380Corporal of Theater Vancoor and a member of the Triton Squad under Alicia Alen. Humble and retiring, he is well known for producing results even with the odds stacked against him. He prefers the company of plants and animals over people.
381----
382* TheFaceless: In the game, he is normally seen on a day-to-day basis with his mask covering his face, but his eyes and hair can be seen in his Friends List portrait.
383* GlassCannon: He hits fast and hard with his one-handed sword, but his defensive stats are lacking.
384
385!! Gareth
386Corporal of Theater Vancoor and a member of the Quarto Squad. A quiet loner who prefers to sit in his room and meditate, he trains alone and has few friends.
387----
388* MightyGlacier: He hits hard and has great reach with his spear and he has great defense.
389* ShouldersOfDoom: His warrior armor has wide and spiky shoulder pads.
390* TheStoic: Described as spending most of his time either training or meditating alone in his room.
391* TwentyFourHourArmor: Always seen on his daily routine wearing his warrior armor.
392
393!! Gregory
394Corporal of Theater Vancoor and a member of the Zweit Squad. He is an experienced and deadly warrior who is level-headed in battle, yet will fly into a rage if he hears the slightest criticism towards Gerald.
395----
396* CoolHelmet: His helmet has a very large pair of horns, like that of a minotaur.
397* MightyGlacier: As a warrior, he has top-notch strength and defense, along with the long reach of his spear.
398* ShouldersOfDoom: Gareth has very wide and spiky pauldrons on his armor.
399* TwentyFourHourArmor: Like many of the warriors in the guild, he is always seen wearing his armor.
400
401!! Walter
402Another corporal of Theater Vancoor and a member of the Quintom Squad. He is famous for not doing much, but his squadmates Gerald and Alicia are aware of his true abilities. However, his subordinates don't think much of him.
403----
404* BrilliantButLazy: Walter's subordinates have a poor opinion of him, but his superiors are apparently aware of his true abilities.
405* CoolHelmet: He has quite a silly design on his helmet, complete with a rook on top.
406* GlassCannon: Although he has great attack and defensive stats, he has poor max HP and low evasion, making him a liability in battle.
407* TwentyFourHourArmor: Like many of the other warriors, he is rarely seen away from his armor. His Friends List portrait shows him with his helmet off, but his face is still obscured.
408
409!! Jarvis Mondair
410A sergeant in Theater Vancoor who lacked the chops to become a knight. His failure to succeed, and his jealousy of those who have, drive him to drink daily. When he is sober, however, he is a sympathetic and caring man capable of great courage. Leader of the Hecton Squad, and becomes [[spoiler:Jack]]'s sergeant when [[spoiler:he]] joins Theater Vancoor.
411-->'''Voiced by:''' Rintaro Noshi (Japanese), David Lodge (English)
412----
413* TheAlcoholic
414* CoolHelmet
415* TheMentor: To Jack, teaching him the basics of leading.
416
417!! Aldo
418The assistant corporal of Theater Vancoor and member of the Quarto Squad. While skilled in combat, he vastly prefers to read up on strategy and tactics, spending hours in the library rather than training with his weapon.
419----
420* CulturedWarrior: Aldo is very intelligent and is said to feel more comfortable in a library than on the battlefield. He will only join Jack after giving him the Book of Faeries.
421* TwentyFourHourArmor: Never seen away from his warrior's armor, along with many of his comrades.
422
423!! Gordon
424Assistant corporal of Theater Vancoor and a member of the Zweit squad. His unyielding good manners, intelligence, and pragmatism make him a valuable foil to Gerald's recklessness. He is a friend to everyone.
425----
426* XMarksTheHero: Although not visible in combat, an X-shaped scar can be seen on his cheek in his portrait.
427
428!! Bruce
429A high-ranking member of Theater Vancoor. He studied medicine in the priest's guild and was eventually recruited by Vancoor, where his skills were sorely needed. While he knows his way around a battlefield, he prefers to stay in Vancoor's clinic and treat patients.
430----
431* CombatMedic
432
433!! David
434A high-ranking warrior whose goal in life is to be as much like Gerald as possible. He is a member of the Septimo Squad. He appears bored when he encounters weak enemies, but he becomes excited when facing strong ones.
435----
436* ChallengeSeeker
437* CoolHelmet
438* IrritationIsTheSincerestFormOfFlattery: Most people would say this, but David sees himself as a HeroWorshipper.
439* LightningBruiser
440* PoorMansSubstitute: In-universe, he seeks to be the next Gerald, right down to using almost the same weapons. Gameplay-wise, David is a decent warrior early in the game until you can recruit stronger characters.
441
442!! Conrad
443The spoiled heir of JFT Co., the sole supplier of arms to the Radiata Knights. Due to his lavish upbringing, he has no concept of poverty. An amicable but lazy member of Walter's squad, he shirks work as often as humanly possible.
444----
445* AutoRevive: With his passive ability Nine Lives. It only works sometimes, though.
446* RichBitch: A lazy and untalented member of the warrior's guild. It seems he only joined at his father's insistence so that he would encounter hardship.
447* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: He believes that he can rise through the ranks of Theater Vancoor without working on his abilities. He insists on becoming Jack's "partner" after he is promoted to a sergeant, hoping his luck will rub off on him, and gives Jack some Dagols so that he can buy better clothes.
448
449!! Rolec
450A low-ranking member of Theater Vancoor who has never once been on an assignment. He's eager to help but faints at the slightest hint of responsibility, making everyone wonder how he got into the guild in the first place.
451----
452* ShrinkingViolet
453
454!! Thanos Benz
455The smart-mouthed receptionist of Theater Vancoor. He started out as a sergeant in the guild but stepped down when Alicia Alen, then a newbie, defeated him in a duel. He affects boredom but actually takes his job very seriously, going out of his way to look after others.
456-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KeijiFujiwara (Japanese), Creator/DanWoren (English)
457----
458* CantCatchUp: He's a fairly decent warrior on his own. Unfortunately, he gets completely overshadowed by Elwen, since he's likely the last Theater Vancoor character to recruit beforehand.
459* DeadpanSnarker
460* LightningBruiser: He hits hard and fast in battle due to wielding a one-handed sword.
461
462!! Daniel Arthur
463A member of Jarvis's squad. He has a lot of knowledge, but not many skills. He is clumsy and easily-scared, but he never betrays his friends or shows hateful feelings. Daniel is well-liked by those around him.
464-->'''Voiced by:''' Teiyu Ichiryuisai (Japanese), Creator/YuriLowenthal (English)
465----
466* FluffyTamer: He has a pet crocogator named Isabella.
467* MightyGlacier: Although he has great physical stats overall, Daniel is a slow and sluggish fighter due to wielding an axe.
468
469!! Carlos
470A backup soldier who manages the cells in the basement. He isn't very skilled or smart, and no one likes how much he complains about work.
471----
472* TheKlutz: He falls down a lot in battle and misses a lot, despite the fact that his passive ability is Prevent Blind. Ironically, he's recruited by helping him find his lost contact.
473* TwentyFourHourArmor: Always seen wearing his warrior armor like many others in Theater Vancoor.
474
475!! Gene
476An extremely introverted loner whose mother runs the Swords and Silver Coins Inn. Convinced by Walter to join Theater Vancoor a while back, he is still slow to trust others and dislikes working as a team. He eventually opens up after repeated attempts at conversation.
477----
478* DefrostingIceKing: Recruiting him requires talking to him and his mother for five in-game days. He'll initially be very standoffish with Jack, and is still somewhat icy when do you recruit him, but he'll come around to the idea of being friends with the boy.
479* FreudianExcuse: As a kid, he was often ill and had to stay indoors all the time. Thus, he's not used to talking to strangers.
480* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's rude and antisocial, but he's not that bad of a guy once you get to know him.
481* LightningBruiser
482* TheQuietOne: He rarely likes to converse with other people.
483* ShrinkingViolet
484

486
487[[folder:Vareth Institute]]
488
489!! Curtis
490The eldest member of the Vareth Institute; a genius who has made many contributions to the world of magic. He looks intimidating and strict, but is very easy to talk to.
491----
492* TheArchmage: Leader of the Vareth Instutite of magic. He will only join the party after recruiting every other mage.
493* CoolOldGuy
494* LimitBreak:
495** Ancient Fire - Curtis charges a fireball with his staff, then sends it at the enemy, before turning into a huge explosion.
496* MagicStaff: His staff is named Ares Salute and it allows him to cast powerful fire magic.

498* RobeAndWizardHat: Wears a very wide wizard hat topped with a globe, of all things.

506----
507* AnIcePerson: Shoots out blocks of ice with his Ice Missile spell.
508* BlowYouAway: His Wind Cutter spell sends out sharp blades of air.
509* CombatMedic: Subverted; Genius has a healing spell and his passive ability gives him continuous HP regeneration, but he only heals himself. It's even stated on the flavor text for his spells.
510* InsufferableGenius: True to his name, he has a terse personality and often finds himself correcting others misapprehensions.
511* MagicStaff: His staff is named Abyss and it allows him to cast several spells, unlike other mages.
512* MeaningfulName: His surname Weissheit means "wisdom" in German, essentially making his name "genius wisdom".
513* TheRedMage: Unlike most of the mage characters, Genius is able to cast more than one spell with his staff like the elves. This is likely due to his research about elves.
514* SquishyWizard: Genius tends to have trouble dealing with attacks and status effects in battle because of his low evasion and luck, despite his ability to heal himself.
515* TeenGenius: Well, duh. He is only 17 years old and is a professor at the Vareth Institute.
516* TooManyBelts: He wears a large amount of them on his robe, including hanging freely from the front.
517
518!! Cecil
519Vice president of the Vareth Institute, and Aidan's father. He is the son of Lord Henryde, a famous analyst of ancient texts, yet Cecil has worked hard to step out from his father's shadow. He speaks in a soft and polite manner, even when making unreasonable demands.
520----
521* DishingOutDirt: The only spell he knows is Megaton Quake, which naturally creates a localized earthquake.
522* MagicStaff: Wields a staff named Asteka.
523* SquishyWizard
524
525!! Morgan
526A professor of the Vareth Institute who specializes in black magic, including the study of spirits and curses. However, she is one of the few people researching beneficial applications of the magic, which most consider to be cruel and wicked.
527----
528* DarkIsNotEvil: Although she uses dark magic and curses, she is generally a pleasant person and is actually researching potential positive applications of it.
529* HotWitch: A stunning beauty of the Vareth Institute and one of the female characters who can go on the fireworks date with Jack.

743
744!! Achilles
745Head priest of the Olacion Order, and Kain's bodyguard. Achilles is Rocky's friend and rival since they were young. Although he looks scary and mean, he is actually very nice.

788!! Vitas

790----

865The founder of the Void Community, who comes from a land far away from Radiata. No one knows why he created the thieves guild and has a mysterious way of thinking. Very few people are even aware of his existence.
866----
867* AmbiguouslyEvil: He founded the Void Community, a guild filled with thieves, bandits, and assassins, and his motives for doing so are unknown. He also notes that once the dragons have been dealt with, ''humanity'' will be next.
868* AnimeHair: Nyx has very spiky white hair and even his beard is spiky, as well.
869* AwesomeButImpractical: Nyx is bar none the hardest character to recruit in the game, due to needing all the major faction leaders recruited and present to be able to even ''fight'' him. As a result, he's not outright worth all the work needed to do so, but he's still a fairly strong character if you can do so.
870* BadassCape
871* BreathWeapon / AnIcePerson: One of his attacks breathes out an icy cold breath.
872* EnemyMine: Forms one with the other guild leaders and Jack.
873* FieldPowerEffect: Nyx's passive ability King of Night makes him more powerful during nighttime, the opposite of Elwen's King of Day ability.
874* GenderBlenderName: He's named after the Greek goddess of night.
875* LimitBreak:
876** [[StormOfBlades Sword Tempest]] - Nyx summons even more floating swords and sends them all flying at his enemy.

880* SpinAttack: Some of his attacks involve spinning around at a high speed with his swords surrounding him while he slices into his enemy.

882 [[FlyingWeapon Floating Sword]]

884
885!! Ortoroz
886Leader of the Void Community. He works under Nyx and is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the thieves guild. He lost his eye in the same battle where Nyx lost his lower body.

918A trainee leader of the Void Community. He was once best friends with Gerald and they were elite warriors in Theater Vancoor, being known as "Iron Slasher Gerald" and "Sprinting Shadow Nocturne". They had a falling out, however, and Nocturne joined the thieves guild at Ortoroz's urging.

922* MusicalThemeNaming
923* ScarfOfAsskicking
924* VideoGameStealing
925* WeUsedToBeFriends: He and Gerald were once best friends. However, after Nocturne learned that Gerald threw the fight for the deputy chief position against him due to Nocturne sustaining an injury prior, he left Theater Vancoor and joined the Void Community.

946* DefeatMeansFriendship: To recruit her, Jack must follow her far into the Path of the Spider sewers at a particular time where she'll be waiting to ambush [[DaChief Elwen]] and defeat her in battle.

1262A Green Goblin comic.
1263----
1264* ComedyDuo: With Monki.
1265* {{Slapstick}}: Part of the comedy act is Aesop smacking Monki around.
1266* StraightMan: To Monki's idiotic antics, both in their act and out of it.
1267* VitriolicBestBuds: With [[TheDitz Monki]]. They're practically always together, but Monki understandably can get on Aesop's nerves. Aesop must really enjoy having their act as an excuse to beat on Monki sometimes...
1268
1269!! Ben
1270A Green Goblin slacker.
1271----
1272* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Sometimes goes about telling [[AllThereInTheManual "senseless stories"]] to anyone who will listen, and you get him to join you by kicking him three times while he's sleeping and then listening to his story. He also has a useless clinging attack that he will attempt on even the strongest of opponents, showing he has a feeble grasp on reality at best.
1273* DumbassHasAPoint: Occasionally one can learn from his ramblings. Not too often, though.
1274* LazyBum
1275* WanderingMinstrel: Sort of. As detailed in his Cloudcuckoolander entry above, he does wander about to tell his tales to people now and again. He can just as often be found lazing about in the green goblin settlement, though.
1276
1277!! Brie
1278A Green Goblin who has been captivated by magic ever since he saw it performed.
1279----
1280* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Even by goblin standards. He stands around all day without purpose (in a game where the NPC's follow intricate schedules), staring at nothing in particular, and wears a pylon on his head.
1281* IJustWantToBeBadass: He wants to be an exceptional mage, but he's too lazy to learn all the complexities of magic, so he spends his time thinking of ways to become powerful with minimal effort.
1282
1283!!Den
1284A Green Goblin slacker.
1285----
1286* ExtremeDoormat: Of the supremely uncaring variety. Most characters in Radiata Stories you have to kick twice to start a fight; they forgive you for the first kick but on the second kick they decide something needs to be done. To get into a fight with Den (winning will allow you to recruit him), you have to kick him a grand total of five times, and you barely get a reaction out of him.
1287* LazyBum: To the point where he basically has [[FlatCharacter no defining characteristics]] beyond extreme apathy. He spends all day wandering aimlessly.
1288* StockholmSyndrome: After kicking him five times and then beating him down in a fight, he considers you to have improved his life by breaking his apathy with your spirit, and he wants to follow you around since he figures it will be interesting. No WhatTheHellHero here.
1289

1332!!Bosso
1333A Black Goblin whose senses became muddled after getting covered in matango poison outside the village.
1334----
1335* DrugsAreBad: Most black goblins find themselves a bit...impeded by the toadstools they consume, but Bosso really stands out as an example. He's so delusional he was going to let a group of Matangoes eat him, and when the player rescues him, he attacks in response.
1336* TheHermit: Unintentionally. He simply got lost in the Sediche region and decided to live in the wilderness because he couldn't find his way back.
1337
1338!!Danny
1339A psychic Black Goblin. He picks up radio signals via the toadstool on his head.
1340----
1341* AxeCrazy: Sometimes, as a result of having a peculiar mushroom on his head that can pick up radio signals that really mess with his mind.
1342* CuteAndPsycho: Even when he's AxeCrazy, he's adorable and very hard to take seriously.
1343* ItRunsOnNonsensoleum: The mushroom on Danny's head is a great example. It just raises so many questions. How did it become a part of him? Is it unique to him or can it be found other places? How does it receive radio signals, and why is Danny so profoundly influenced by these signals?
1344* MoreThanMindControl: Possibly. When Danny is in AxeCrazy mode, it's easy enough to think he might be completely possessed. But in other situations, such as when he hears a woman's problems with her boyfriend, he's shown to be in control of himself and sympathetic, and will ask Jack to help her. So how much of his psycho mood is the mushroom's doing, and how much of it is his own feelings aligning with the mind he's reading?
1345* NiceGuy: When not tripping out.
1346
1347!!Dominic
1348A trainee wolf rider who works under Ricky.
1349----
1350* HeroicWannabe: Claims he desires to be a wolf rider, but he's terrible with wolves and doesn't seem to really think about what it means. He probably just wants to imitate Ricky.

1469The Selector of Souls. She comes from the parallel world of Radical and is looking for powerful beings to join her. She tends to scare people off by asking them to join her in Heaven.
1470-->''It shall be engraved upon your soul!''
1471----
1472* ActionGirl: Valkyrie kicks just as much ass as in her original game, being one of the strongest characters in Jack's party along with Elwen.
1473* BattleBallgown: Wears a long white skirt over her plate mail armor.
1474* BowAndSwordInAccord: Much like her original game, her main weapon is a one-handed sword, but she is able to create her bow out of light energy.
1475* DefeatEqualsFriendship: She will only join Jack's party after defeating her in battle.
1476* EarlyBirdCameo: Jack can find her armor in Radiata Castle in one of the King's rooms.
1477* EnergyBow: Her Spread Shot creates a bow out of light energy and fires arrows. Since she cannot equip bows in this game, Lenneth creates the bow seemingly out of nowhere.
1478* LimitBreak:
1479** Nibelung Valesti: Just like her Purify Weird Soul from her [[VideoGame/ValkyrieProfile original game]], Lenneth unleashes her entire sword combo on an enemy, launching them in midair. They are then impaled by three spears and then Lenneth herself hurls an even larger spear at the enemy, ending in an explosion.
1480* NamedWeapons: Lenneth wields the Holy Sword Gram in battle, which is one of the strongest swords from her original game.. Jack can use one himself after beating her and it is the strongest one-handed sword in the game.
1481* OneWomanArmy: Much like Elwen, she's more than capable of taking on groups of enemies by herself.
1482* OptionalBoss: One of the secret bosses fought in the Distortion Corridor.
1483* SecretCharacter: The last character who can join Jack's Friend List in the post-game.
1484* WhiteHairedPrettyGirl

1488----
1489* ElementalPowers: Lezard can use multiple magic spells, just like the game he originated from, including:
1490** [[PlayingWithFire Fire Lance]]: Sends out jets of fire that can inflict burns on a character.
1491** [[TechnicolorPoison Poison Blow]]: Creates a green cloud of gas that can poison any characters caught within it.
1492** [[CastingAShadow Dark Savior]]: Impales a character with swords made of darkness.
1493** [[ShockAndAwe Prismic Missile]]: Sends out beams of multicolored light that can inflict different status effects.
1494* EnemySummoner: He can summon black knights to do his fighting for him.
1495* EvilSorcerer: As in his original game, Lezard is obsessed with his lady love Valkyrie and threatens to exterminate Jack just for getting in his way.
1496* KneelBeforeZod: He tries to pull this on Jack. Naturally it doesn't work on him since he just thinks Lezard is insane.
1497* LargeHam: He can be found in the Distortion Corridor, muttering to himself about the parallel world he has discovered and delivers a grand speech to Jack about how powerful he is.
1498* OptionalBoss: He's one of the endgame secret bosses the player can battle in the Distortion Corridor.
1499* SquishyWizard: Lezard's only forms of attack are his magic spells.
1500
1501!!Gabriel Celesta
1502One of the two gods worshiped by the Olacion Order. Unlike most incarnations of Gabriel Celesta, he appears as an incredibly muscular dark-skinned man covered in glowing runes and wearing nothing but a tiny loincloth who wouldn't be out of place in a ''Chō Aniki'' game.
1503----
1504* ChallengeSeeker: He seems to be most interested in fighting against powerful people. Gabriel is pleased after Jack defeats him and looks forward to fighting him again someday.
1505* HolyHalo: A glowing one that spins around Gabriel's back that he also utilizes in some of his attacks.
1506* HotBlooded: Compared to the Ethereal Queen, Gabriel is more interested in seeing Jack's strength in battle.
1507* LightTheWay / HolyHandGrenade: Attacks by sending out powerful blasts of light.
1508* MachoCamp: Very manly, muscular, and obsessed with strength in a good-natured fashion. Jack is initially startled by his near-nakedness.
1509* OptionalBoss: He can only be challenged in the post-game in the Distortion Corridor.
1510* PowerFloats: Moves about in battle by levitating.
1511* PowerTattoo: He has neon yellow-green tattoos all over his body.
1512** PowerGlows: His tattoos glow, showing that he is very powerful.
1513* SupernaturalMartialArts: Most of his attacks are martial arts techniques infused with his divine powers.
1514* UnderwearOfPower: Gabriel even gets introduced to the player ''crotch-first''.
1515* WalkingShirtlessScene: The only clothes he wears is his tiny loincloth.
1516* WrestlerInAllOfUs: He initiates combat by jumping and doing a flying body press on Jack, which makes him confused at the start of battle. He also exits into thin air this way after being defeated.
1517
1518!!Ethereal Queen
1519One of the two gods worshiped by the Olacion Order of Radiata. This incarnation of Ethereal Queen looks like an angelic fairy in elegant white clothing, but she seems to be more evil than she lets on.
1520----
1521* CatchPhrase: Seeing as how she's one of the trademark secret bosses of tri-Ace, she has a catch phrase before and after battle. Ethereal Queen starts off her encounter with Jack by stating that she's very different from Gabriel Celesta. After being defeated, she chuckles and asks Jack what he desires now that he's proven his strength before she fades away.
1522%%* CuteLittleFangs
1523%%* ElementalPowers:
1524%%** CastingAShadow
1525%%** LightTheWay
1526%%** PlayingWithFire
1527* GodOfEvil: Although she's worshiped by the Olacion Order, she declares to Jack that she will show him "true despair".
1528* HellishPupils: She has green slitted pupils like a cat or snake.
1529%%* HimeCut
1530* HolyHalo: She has a glowing halo made of light and is one of the two divine beings in the game.
1531* LightIsNotGood: She looks like an angelic fairy and has light and holy-based powers, but she seems genuinely evil.
1532* PowerGlows: Her fairy wings glow when performing one of her attacks.
1533* StatusInflictionAttack: She can be painful to fight if you have no protection against status effects. Her attacks can cause burning, petrification, and binding.
1534* {{Superboss}}: She is the last boss of the secret dungeon and certainly the most powerful enemy in the game.
1535
