11[[caption-width-right:122:''Heir to Razelia''/''Scion of Reeve'']]
12
13The son of the Duke of Razelia, one of the four Dukedoms of the Republic of Reeve. He is the main hero of the game, alongside Holmes.

16----
17* CoolSword: He can only wield swords and can wield unique swords like the rapier and the Reeve Calibur/Varunastra.
18* DeclarationOfProtection: Made this promise to [[spoiler: Enteh]] when they were young, but he doesn't recognize her when they meet in the present. [[spoiler: He takes up this vow again once she gets kidnapped.]]
19* ForcedToWatch: [[spoiler:There is nothing Runan could do to stop Guenchaos from sacrificing Enteh in the final chapter. Fortunately, she is revived by Miradona after Runan defeated Gerxel.]]
20* GeoEffects: Runan starts with City Fighter/Urbanite, which grants him bonus 10 accuracy/evasion and 1 movement when fighting in an urban battlefield.

25* PowerNullifier: He learns Awareness/Nihil at Level 35.
26* RoyalRapier: As the Lord, he is the only unit to wield a rapier which deals effective damage against mounted and armored units. Though there exists an Estoc that can be wielded by everyone, it is a point weaker than a Rapier (thus lessening its effectiveness bonus) and only affects armored units with no bonus against mounted units.
27* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: He's the son of a duke, and he kicks ass up and down the continent.
28* SympathyForTheDevil: When he learned that Codha held Erish's family hostage, he felt a little bad about having to kill him. Maron quickly objects, telling Runan that he had it coming for placing his trust on Codha with Eugen supporting by telling him not to let personal value question him in a battle where he could die thinking about it.

50* OneHitKill: He learns Blazing Wind/Lethality at Level 16.
51* TheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: He doesn't seem too interested in Rina at first, [[ChivalrousPervert and tends to flirt with other women a lot]]. Until the liberation of Razelia, when he plays KnightInShiningArmor to rescue her. Depending on the version of Map 26 picked, it may not end well... [[spoiler: but even then, the fact that he's willing to betray his allies just to save her, and her saving him from execution for these actions certainly implies something, though he does say [[JailbaitWait she's still a kid.]]]]

114* {{Expy}}: Of Caeda, a blue-haired princess from a fringe island kingdom. She doesn't start as a Pegasus Knight, but will acquire that class if she uses the Pegasus Flute from an event.
115* TheNotLoveInterest: Despite resembling Caeda in role and classes and how Gramud wanted her to be Runan's bethroned, she declines progessing their relationship any further with Runan and he ends up with Enteh anyways.
116* MagikarpPower: She starts as a very weak Princess, but training her will make her very strong through skills like Gale (Vantage) and Elite (Paragon) as well as her promotions.

130* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler: Finding out Zieg's true alliegence, betraying her knightly duties for him and being taken prisoner by the cult has taken a heavy toll on her mind to the point she brushes off any attempts to recruit her back unless the player has Sasha talk to her. Even after the end of the game, she refuses to return to Sasha's side due to feeling unworthy as her knight.]]
131* DistressBall: [[spoiler:She gets captured by the Cult when she followed Zieg into the Fire Temple. She can be rescued near the end and re-recruited by Sasha.]]
132* EtTuBrute: [[spoiler:She doesn't take well to learning Zieg's true alliegance. Especially pronounced if she is in the Holmes' path, her reward for freeing Zieg from Holmes is being taken prisoner by the cult.]]

137-->'''[[spoiler:Zieg]]:''' Is that you, Kate? I see you managed to escape...\

152
153A Bishop in the service of Marlon.
154
155->'''Class:''' Bishop
156----
157* CombatMedic: He is your only mage that can use both magic and staves.
158* DiscOneNuke: Due to his high stats, having a Physic staff and giving Plum an useful staff, he will remain useful all throughout the game.
159* GoodShepherd: A kindly priest, he comforted the newly recruited Plum when she is anxious about future battles and, in addition, giving her a staff to use to protect others.
160* MutuallyExclusivePartyMembers: Lee 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 Lee if he wasn't chosen by Runan. However, an event with Lee and Plum will only occur at the end of Map 2.
161* RedMage: Since he's the mage that can use both magic spells and staves, he can be essential in covering both magical damage and healing. However, since his growth rate is poor and possesses no skills, he might slow down in terms of combat effectiveness.
162[[/folder]]
163
164[[folder:Ezekiel]]
165!!Ezekiel
166
167[[quoteright:151:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/213.gif]]

171

174* BigBrotherInstinct: [[spoiler:Part of the reason he's needed for the Leteena event.]]
175* GeoEffects: Ezekiel starts with City Fighter/Urbanite. He can also learn Mountain Fighter/Mountaineer, Plains Fighter/Plainsrunner, and Frontier Fighter/Frontierman at level 12, 18, and 24, respectively.
176* IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer: Delivers one to Kriess, [[spoiler:one that actually manages to talk him out of deserting, as he doesn't want a 'coward' to be with his sister.]]
177* MightyGlacier: He starts off with higher HP, strength and defense compared to both your original units and the Verje recruits. However, his speed will always be low due to the heaviness of axes until he class-changes to Sergeant so that he could wield much lighter weapons.
178* MultiMeleeMaster: Upon class-changing to Sergeant, he can wield all three physical weapon types: swords, lances, and axes.
179* MutuallyExclusivePartyMembers: Ezekiel 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 Ezekiel if he wasn't chosen by Runan. [[spoiler:However, you ''have'' to recruit Ezekiel in Runan's path first in order to do the Leteena event without problems.]]
180* OneHitKill: He starts with Blazing Wind/Lethality.
181* RedBaron: ''Knight of Verje''.
182* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: The only reason you should recruit him is if you are planning on recruiting Leteena. [[spoiler:If you recruited Leteena, there is the final step that can render the entire effort worthless unless Ezekiel is in your party.]] Otherwise, his utility is mediocre at best.

193->'''Class:''' Rook Knight (Cavalier) → Gold Knight (Gold Paladin)
194----
195* ChoiceOfTwoWeapons: He wield both [[CoolSword swords]] and lances as both a Rook Knight and Gold Knight, but he loses the ability to wield lances when dismounting.
196* 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.]]
197* 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.
198* HeroicSelfDeprecation: In his only conversation, he is shown to have low confidence in his abilities.
199* 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).
200* 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.
201* NoSell: He learn Big Shield/Pavise upon promoting to a Gold Knight.
202* OneHitKill: He learns Blazing Wind/Lethality as a Level 12 Gold Knight.
203* SelfMadeOrphan: [[spoiler:It's entirely possible for him to kill Ernst, who is implied to be his father. Not that he knows much of his father.]]

211
212A hunter in the service of Marlon. He is Raquel's younger brother.
213
214->'''Class:''' Bow Fighter (Archer) → Bow Master (Sniper)
215----
216* FragileSpeedster: His only good stat is his speed, as his strength is too low and has terrible durability.
217* GeoEffects: Luca learns City Fighter/Urbanite upon class changing.
218* 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]].
219* 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.]]
220* 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.
221* 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.

268->'''Class:''' Sister
269----
270* EleventhHourSuperpower: [[spoiler:In her final playable appearance, she transforms into Mousa to protect Runan and his troops from the rampaging Rachis/Neyfa. Prior to this point, Enteh acquires the Ring of Reeve from Claris but she never uses it to transform into Mousa.]]
271* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:In the ending, like the other shamans.]]
272* {{Expy}}: Gameplay-wise, she starts out like [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Lena]], as a defenseless cleric near a thieves' den with a single ally protecting her. Storywise, she is very similar to [[VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar Julia]], as a mysterious maiden who is important to the main villain's goal.
273* GuestStarPartyMember: [[spoiler:She's around for much longer than Katri though, you only lose her for the last fifth of the game. Her dragon form is a straighter example; you only get to use her like that for one chapter.]]
274* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: She takes Eisenbach's lesson of helping others in need of her healing abilities a little too far. She thinks helping a wounded bandit leader in his territory is a good idea.
275%%* AnIcePerson: [[spoiler:Though the title "Water Dragon" brings to mind MakingASplash.]]
276* KingIncognito: [[spoiler:She is the heir of the Kingdom of Reeve.]]
277* OfficialCouple: [[spoiler:With Runan.]]
278* OurDragonsAreDifferent: [[spoiler:Due to being descended from the Water Dragon Mousa, she can transform into a dragon of the same name using the Ring of Reeve.]]

296* {{Expy}}: An Axe Fighter who is a lumberjack, much like Barst from VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight, down to even having a similar name. Heck, his late father's name is Daros, like Darros from the same game.
297* GeoEffects: Bartz starts with Mountain Fighter/Mountaineer.
298* HappilyAdopted: [[spoiler:In a way, as Lionheart views him as his son if he was Plum's big brother if she decided to stay with her father.]]

314* DeathOfAThousandCuts: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ct6GHF4LDSc At the end of Map 30, she learns Dragon Saint/Astra.]]
315* DrowningMySorrows: To cope with all the hardships of fighting.
316* {{Frameup}}: [[spoiler:Lentzenheimer pinned the murder of his mother on her just because she happened to be passing by at the time. That may not have been such a good idea in the long run...]]
317* ItsPersonal: [[spoiler:She's after Lentzenheimer for her framing]].

320* NotWorthKilling: [[spoiler:If she defeats Lentzenheimer, she decides to spare him because she finds no reason to kill him as he's no longer a threat. [[TooDumbToLive He tries to backstab her]] but she kills him in self-defense.]]
321* ReluctantWarrior: Shigen remarked as a little girl she wouldn't even harm a mosquito but her father Yoda trained her in the art of swordsmanship due the hardships the Zoans had to endure. Even then, she feels awful about all the killing.
322* SinisterScimitar: One of her starting equipment is a scimitar, a rare type of sword with high might and a small critical rate but lower hit than iron swords.

335* AgeInappropriateDress: Forced to wear a skimpy dress and dance, despite her age of 15. Also, she would dance with that on whenever she dances an unit. Suffice to say, when Holmes made her dance for the army at Blaad, everyone was not amused.
336* GoGoEnslavement: [[spoiler:After she is drugged and kidnapped by the Peddler in Map 10, she isn't seen again until Map 14 where she is forced to dress in a {{Stripperific}} outfit and dance. Holmes (or Barts) can free her from the Peddler, and she learns the Dance skill from this event.]]

357* DragonRider: Upon promotion.
358* MuggleBornOfMages: She and her sisters became Pegasus Knights because they lack the magical potential, despite being descended from the Sage of Fire, and idolize their aunt Liza and father Roberto. This is a case of GameplayAndStorySegregation, because Pegasus Knight has a magic stat (it's meant to represent their resistance to magic) and, thus, excels at wielding Levin Swords. [[spoiler:That said, in the epilogue, Rishel notes that she has been practicing magic and invites her to rebuild the Fire Temple and become its cleric.]]

373* CoolSword: In addition to his specialty, he is the wielder of the Shramm, which halves the damage taken as long as he equip it and is effective against monsters.
374* CurbStompBattle: Delivers one to Julia as part of his recruitment event. It's completely scripted, he takes her HPToOne no matter how strong she is. (Though he does give her a free healing item afterwards.)
375* {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Navarre]].
376* HitmanWithAHeart: Though he is a killer, he has a sense of honor. He only kill when assigned but does not take bad clients well. [[spoiler:He is upset that Lentzenheimer deceived him by contracting him to kill Julia, a witness to him murdering his own mother. He also apologizes to Krishna for killing Altair.]]
377* LifeDrain: He starts with Heaven Saint/Sol.
378* MyNameIsInigoMontoya: Delivers one to Lentzenheimer if you have them fight, given that [[spoiler:he convinced him to kill Julia, claiming that she murdered a noble of Rezalia. When he finds out this was a complete lie, he's not happy...]]

392* 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.
393* GeoEffects: Raquel starts with both Urbanite and Forester.
394* HopelessSuitor: Has a one-sided crush towards Roger.
395* 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.]]
396* 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.
397* PowerNullifier: She learns Awareness/Nihil at Level 31.
398* 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.
413* {{Expy}}: Unitwise, he is practically [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Merric]] due to their affinity to wind magic, but storywise, he shares Linde's backstory of an older relative murdered by their former colleague.
414* HolyHandGrenade: He learns light magic upon promoting to a Sage.
415* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: The death of his grandfather at the hands of Gwenchaos causes him to be bitter towards Enteh and him being single-minded in his pursuit of revenge. Still, he eventually lightens up and at the end vows to protect her.
416* LifeDrain: He learns Heaven Saint/Sol as a Level 20 Sage.

436* ConflictingLoyalties: [[spoiler:Between Runan and co. (particularly his lover Kate) and the Gerxel Empire (particularly his sister Karla). He ultimately chooses Gerxel, and dies for it.]]
437* 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.]]
438* 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.]]
439* 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.]]

444* FromACertainPointOfView: [[spoiler:Tells Kate he had his back horrifically flayed when he was a slave. This is true, but he wasn't a slave ''of'' Zoa, he was enslaved because he ''is'' a Zoan.]]
445* GeoEffects: Zieg starts with Frontierman.
446* GuestStarPartyMember: [[spoiler:He doesn't stay in the party for long, as he leaves at the start of the 2nd route split]].
447* LightningBruiser: He has great bases for his join time, coupled with insane growths; he has the best growths in Strength[[note]]tied with Sennet[[/note]], Skill[[note]]tied with Sun and Tia[[/note]], and Speed[[note]]tied with Katri, Rennie, and Rina[[/note]], has the second-best Defense[[note]]beaten by Hagaru and Sennet[[/note]], and has top-class HP[[note]]beaten by Samson, Barts, Billford, Garo, Lionel, and Mintz, and tied with Raffin and Sennet[[/note]] and Magic[[note]]beaten by Tia, Leteena, Rebecca, and Rina, and tied with Plum, Katri, and Bud[[/note]].
448* 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]].
449* PowerNullifier: He starts with Awareness/Nihil.
450* 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.]]
451* 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.]]
452* 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.]]
453* RecurringBoss: [[spoiler:He is fought in both Runan and Holmes' paths in the later parts of the game.]]
454* 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.]]

458* 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.]]
459* 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.]]
460* 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.]]

513----
514* AchillesHeel: He is an armored unit, so he's vulnerable to armorslaying weapons and magic. For the former, it is not the case when he is using a ballista.
515* MassiveNumberedSiblings: He has at least seven younger siblings. He became a soldier to afford food for them.
516* RedBaron: ''Hunter from Lot''.
517* 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.
518* 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.
519* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: His low move and low growths makes him undesirable to use, but he excels at killing gargoyles and harpies without a scratch due to his high defense and bow access. He can also easily win most matches at the Arena for an easy gold grinding, though be careful against opponents that can use magic or swords, since the latter's only ranged weapons are magic-based Levin Swords.

1045----
1046* 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.
1047* LoveInterest: Kreiss'.
1048* MagikarpPower: She might start at a low level, but magic and speed is very average and has Paragon to get her levels up quickly.

1084* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's not above ditching you and stealing your money, and he's kind of a slacker, but when ordered to infiltrate an early villain's base, ensure the Queen's safety and release the prisoners, he does exactly that, showing he can be a pretty good guy when he wants to.

1162* 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.]]
1163* NoSell: He learns Big Shield/Pavise at Level 18.
1164* 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.
1165* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His title can alternatively be read as ''[[TankGoodness Panzer]]'' Hagaru.
1166* 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.

1382* BadBoss: Most of his subordinates only serve him because he has their families hostage.

On the other hand, he tells Runan that Erish got what he deserved for following Codha's orders, shortly after telling Runan that Codha took his family hostage to ensure his loyalty.

1500----

He also openly refused to participate with the Zoan Empire's expansion, to the point King Bahanuke ordered Barker to arrest him.

1627* AFatherToHisMen: He orders his forces to retreat while fielding only a few soldiers against the battle with Runan's army. His men eventually join the battle anyway out of loyalty and respect for him.

1629* LifeDrain: His Canaan Spear allows him to restore his health when attacking an enemy unit.
1630* LightningBruiser: Being a dragon knight, he is able to move across large distances and he has monsterous stats. He also covers his classes' weakness to bows and magic with a Goddess Shield and a Magic Shield and his Canaan Spear allows to hit hard and regain any health lost.

1650->'''Class:''' Gold Knight

1676* CoolSword: He wields the Sol sword, a powerful sword that is effective against monsters.
1677* {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Lorenz]], [[spoiler:right down to his death. Fortunately the 'suicide-by-exploding-castle' animation is much less Narmy here.]]
1678** His title is practically reminiscence to [[VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar Hannibal's title]].
1679* GeoEffects: He has the Forester skill, which gives him extra hit and avoid in combat due to Balt Fortress taking place in a forested area.
1680* LifeDrain: He has Sol, which gives him a chance to replenish HP based on the damage he inflicted.

1686* UndyingLoyalty: He himself to his kingdom, and his deputy to him [[spoiler:to the point where he joins him in his suicide.]]
1687* WeaksauceWeakness: Since he has no ranged weapons, he can easily be dealt with using bows or magic although his high stats and being equipped with a Magic Shield makes the task harder.

1696----
1697* AntiVillain: The first of the Canaanite bosses who is not as evil as he looks. He even begs Runan to save his country upon dying.
1698* BaitAndSwitchBoss: The chapter has you think you're going to face him but he gets replaced by the Dark Bishop Dagon once you try to fight him or you kill too many of his troops.
1699* AFatherToHisMen: He cares so much for his men that it overrides his fear of being made a criminal by the Cult of Gerxel and makes a failed attempt to kill Dagon when he forces them to fight to the death. When Runan tells him as he dies that he'll spare the retreating soldiers, he is glad to hear the news and gives him his Iron Shield.
1700* UnderestimatingBadassery: He at first doesn't view Runan as a threat, but Barker rebukes him as he is much tougher than he looks.

1711* AristocratsAreEvil: A corrupt noble of Canaan who taxes his subjects heavily and attempts to curry favor with the Theocracy of Gerxel using the money.

1725* 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.
1726* 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.

1884* BaitAndSwitchBoss: [[spoiler:He's possessed by the real final boss of the chapter before you get to fight him.]]
1885* 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.
1886* CutsceneBoss: [[spoiler:Doesn't stop him from having an epic battle with an NPC Tia and Richard though.]]
1887* {{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.]]
1888* 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. Witnessing such monstrosity and many people trying to kill the beast, he lost all faith in humanity and decided to resurrect Gerxel to start the world anew.]]
1889* FaceMonsterTurn: [[spoiler:His wife had one in his backstory, and he later suffers one himself.]]

1891* GenericDoomsdayVillain: [[spoiler:Ultimately subverted.]]
1892* 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...]]
1893* 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.]]
1894* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: [[spoiler:Just about everyone he meets accuses him of this.]]

1896%%* LoveMartyr
1897* TheMedic: Well, he at least has the possibility to use Staves, though does not.
1898* MisanthropeSupreme: [[spoiler:Witnessing so many hunters attempting to kill his mad and transformed wife and the fact that his wife was turned into a monster by the king of Leda as a weapon in a war against Salia cause him to lose faith in humanity and try to destroy them all with Gerxel.]]

1917----
1918* 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...]]
1919* TheDragon: To Guenchaos.
1920* {{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.
1921* LadyOfBlackMagic: As a member of the Witch class, which lets her use magic.
1922* 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.]]

2013* WasOnceAMan: He was originally an ordinary Zoan chieftain named Kalbazan before he drank the blood of Miradona and began calling himself Gerxel.
2014* 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.
