!The Royal Army
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ygg-royalarmy_2271.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:Yggdra is front and center with [[LovableRogue Milanor]] behind her; from the top down, the left side depicts [[GuestStarPartyMember Gordon]], [[DefectingForLove Elena]], [[TallDarkAndSnarky Roswell]], [[TheFool Cruz]], and [[CheerfulChild Nietzsche]]. The right side displays [[PatientChildhoodLoveInterest Kylier]] and [[TeamPet Al]], [[CuteWitch Rosary]], [[MauveShirt Milanor's Flunky]], and [[KnightInShiningArmor Durant]]. Russell, [[{{Housewife}} Mistel]], and [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Pamela]] are not pictured.]]

The heroes of the story, led by the eponymous Princess Yggdra.

The army itself is formed at the same time the mantle of main charactership shifts from Milanor to Yggdra, and starts off as more of a RagtagBunchOfMisfits than anything else, picking up new commanders here and there along their journey through the continental world. However, over the course of the story they become much more cohesive, and are eventually depicted as on their way towards becoming a true BadassArmy.

[[TheHero Yggdra]] is the commander-in-chief; [[{{Sidekick}} Milanor]] is her deputy and [[MrExposition Durant]] is her advisor. There are a few instances in which Milanor is forced to take the reins on a temporary basis when Yggdra is unavailable to lead.

!!''Yggdra Yuril Artwaltz''
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MaiNakahara (Japanese), Creator/BridgetHoffman (English)
!!!'''Class:''' Sword Maiden
-->''...A world controlled by power is cruel and empty. Power is defined by those who wield it. My parents' deaths still seethe within me, but... I mustn't let those feelings control my power. I have sworn to use my power to protect the people.''

The princess of Fantasinia, who is forced to run when her home capital, Paltina, was captured by the Bronquian Empire and her parents slained by Emperor Gulcasa. As the wielder of the Gran Centurio, she is to lead the Royal Army to reclaiming her kingdom and defeating the empire.

Yggdra loves strawberries and hates mushrooms, and her birthday is June 2. Her [[PersonalityBloodTypes blood type]] is AB, and she's 157 cm tall and weighs 45 kg. Her age is 17.

%%The seventeen-year-old princess of Fantasinia, whose life is turned upside down when her country is invaded by Bronquia and her parents killed in battle against its Emperor, Gulcasa. She escapes the castle with her family's ancient sword, the Gran Centurio, and slowly gathers allies from her own country and others to take her kingdom back (and [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge bloodily slaughter Gulcasa and his allies for killing her parents]]). She is beloved by her people, and generally comes off to others as a kindhearted girl who can be both naive about the way the world works and a voice of authority. However, she is also revealed to be highly immature and holds a vendetta against Gulcasa for her parents' deaths. Over the course of the war, Yggdra slowly loses her childish idealism and becomes a wise and loving ruler, seeking peace because she understands the true cost of battle and that conflicts are never black and white.

[[folder:Milanor]]
!!''Milanor''
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MiyukiSawashiro (Japanese), Creator/SpikeSpencer (English)
!!!'''Class:''' Stray Thief
-->''Ah, give her a break. We're fighting a bunch of commoners. It was easy to fight when she was a rebel against an army. Here, the ones she's killing are parents... lovers... people. I think she's realized that things aren't like they were.''

A leader of thieves who volunteered to help the Princess... for her castle, of course.

%%A seventeen-year-old thief who resides in Norn Valley, a Fantasinian territory. After fighting with Imperial soldiers a few times, he comes across Princess Yggdra and agrees to help her raise an army to free Fantasinia--in exchange for her castle. He's rough-natured and claims to always act in his own best interests, but he has a large group of loyal followers. He's very friendly with Yggdra and her followers, much to the chagrin of his best friend and right-hand lady rogue, Kylier. Milanor also matures over the course of the plot, going from being the comic relief to one of Yggdra's major sources of support. It's implied in certain extras that Milanor is the hereditary king of the Vanir, and would indeed be their leader if their nation hadn't been destroyed by Fantasinia; this never comes up in-game. Milanor is the player character during certain parts of the game.
----
%% * AllThereInTheManual
%% * BadassNormal: Aside from his bloodline, he is ''completely and utterly ordinary''.
* BloodKnight: Downplayed. But Milanor sure does enjoy a good challange according to some of his pre-battle quotes. This is a good contrast to Leon.
* CatchPhrase: なかなかいい〇〇ねーな...[[note]]"That XX kinda sucks", originally his response to Cruz's " How 'bout a night attack?" line. This is both used by Milanor out of context and the general response of all characters to any idea Cruz ever suggests. There's no real English counterpart, since the line (and Milanor's repetition of it) doesn't stand out in Creator/{{Atlus}}' script.[[/note]]
* DressingAsTheEnemy: He wears an Imperial armor for a few battlefields in Chapter 5, which looks absolutely silly on him because it looks [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/deptheaven/images/4/42/Milanor_3.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120615235105 way too big on him]].

The captain of the Royal Army's third cavalry unit.

%%The twenty-four-year-old captain of the former Royal Army's third cavalry unit, Durant becomes the first tactician of Yggdra's liberation army. He's a traditional knight in many ways, believing in honor and chivalry deeply to the point where he can be seen as stiff or old-fashioned.

-->''She said she went all the way to Embellia, didn't she? It must've been so hard by herself, with no friends... I feel sorry for her. Nietzsche'll look after her, so let's take her with us.''

The young Undine exiled for the crimes of her sister, who stole the Transmigragem, an artifact that procreate their entire race. She seeks out the artifact.

%%The youngest member of the Royal Army, Nietzsche is a twelve-year-old Undine who has been exiled from her home country, Embellia. Her older sister was manipulated by Nessiah into stealing the Undines' Transmigragem, the artifact which allows them to survive as a race; although Nietzsche's sister [[DrivenToSuicide killed herself]] out of remorse, her crimes were apparently enough to condemn Nietzsche, as well. Nietzsche joins up with the Royal Army as they pass through Embellia, explaining to them why the country is in an uproar. Despite being part of the deconstruction of her own country's government, Nietzsche remains hopeful and happy. She loves fish and strange small objects, and always refers to herself in the third person.
----
* AchillesHeel: As an Undine, she is weak to Fire. In addition, she does poorly in Desert, which becomes problematic in Chapter 5, which is largely desert.
%% * BadassAdorable: She can really wind up as one if the player gets her enough MVP.
%% * BigEater
%% * CheerfulChild
%% * TheCutie
* GeoEffects: As an Undine, she gains a massive GEO Bonus on Water. It's why Diamond Dust is a PowerupLetDown because it completely cancels out her bonus.
%% * GirlishPigtails
* AnIcePerson: As an Undine, she deals Ice damage during Aggressive stance, immune to Ice, and when she uses Blizzard, it becomes Diamond Dust, instead. While Diamond Dust is no more stronger than Blizzard, it can freeze water that last until the next Noon.
* OneGenderRace: Undines, which she is a part of, is 100% female and requires an artifact called the Transmigragem to procreate through reincarnation. The problem is that it was stolen when her sister was deceived [[spoiler:by Nessiah]] and was condemned for the crime when her sister was DrivenToSuicide. She vowed to get the gem back, even if it means fighting her own kind.
* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: She is an Undine, a race of water spirits.
%% * ThePollyanna
* PowerupLetdown: Diamond Dust is kinda worthless because Water becomes Ice and Undine doesn't get any bonuses on Ice. It is only useful for allowing units to cross the ice bridge but only if they can cross in time.
* SeashellBra: You will find Shell Breastplate if you have the Pretty Shell in your inventory and have Nietzsche enter a shop in Battlefield 10. The Shell Breastplate can only be used by her, which boost her Attack and Techinque by 2, ranks up her Luck, and grant her immunity to Critical Hits.
* SinsOfOurFathers: Apparently having your sister get duped into stealing something important is grounds for getting exiled, even if she goes so far as to [[DrivenToSuicide kill herself out of remorse]].
%% * {{Stripperiffic}}: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] as a full outfit would probably weigh her down in the water.
* SuperNotDrowningSkills: She is the only unit that can walk on water and receive its bonus. As the result, when the Ice melt after the effect of Diamond Dust ends, she will not drown and be forced out of combat.

The lord of Branthèse (or the House of the Black Rose). He has a mutual rivalry with Rosary.

%%The twenty-one-year-old lord of Branthèse (or the House of the Black Rose), the northeastern part of Verlaine. He's a fiercely intelligent and [[PrettyBoy downright pretty]] young necromancer, and known to his people as a kind ruler; when the Royal Army meets him, though, he's [[FeudingFamilies feuding with his distant cousin Rosary]] over a pair of magical artifacts known as Ankhs. And said feud has just erupted into civil war, as Rosary attacks him. [[CycleOfRevenge He retaliates, of course]], and the only way the Royal Army can prevent Verlaine from being destroyed in a bloodbath is by killing either Roswell or Rosary. If Rosary is killed, Roswell joins the Royal Army shortly afterward.

%%Unabashedly something of a geek when it comes to all things magical (he's the MrExposition of arcane things and supplies the player with lots of MagiBabble), Roswell is fond of intellectual material, getting even--and bananas. [[FanService Who knows why.]] Through his sub-event and battle dialogue, it is revealed that he matures greatly over the course of the game, becoming a wise and gentle individual.
----
* AchillesHeel: He is weak to Holy, a trait carried from Necromancers.
* CastingAShadow: Once in Aggressive state, he deals dark damage.
* DistressBall: While he's competent during the main part of the story, the events where Roswell joins the Royal Army involve them rescuing him several times. Poor guy.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Implied in a conversation with Ortega. Roswell's reaction is being disgusted and an UnstoppableRage. (Likely because he's highly unamused by the implications of what Ortega says...)
%% * InsufferableGenius: A mild case; he presses it home rarely enough (or against enemies) that it doesn't come off as abrasive, but is played for childish charm. Except that one time with Durant.
%% * MagiBabble
* MutuallyExclusivePartyMembers: You can only have either him or Rosary. In Battle Field 6, recruiting him requires killing Rosary first.

-->''Why, power like this is the heart's desire of any magician. And of course, I have my domain to protect as well. Roswell is my rival... Naturally, I can't back down.''

The lady of Esmeralda (or the House of the White Rose). She has a mutual rivalry with Roswell.

%%Nineteen years of age, Rosary is the lady of Esmeralda (or the House of the White Rose), the southwestern part of Verlaine. She's considerably less bookish and dignified than Roswell, and is playful and rather arrogant. She is stated to be seeking the Ankhs for the sake of the power she'll obtain through them (surpassing her and Roswell's ancestor Valois, the founder of Verlaine--or so she says), and she also appears to set off the [[CycleOfRevenge blood feud]] by attacking Roswell's villages with golems. When Roswell retaliates, however, the player is able to see her in a brief moment of vulnerability and realize that she does, in fact, care for her people. As she and Roswell both refuse to compromise, the Royal Army must kill one of them to end their war. If Roswell dies, Rosary joins the Royal Army afterward.

%%Rosary likes her hat and things that seem to be related to bondage or torture. She does not like being given orders, which causes Milanor and Durant some worry if she's recruited.
----
* BrainsAndBondage: She enjoys bondage and domination. As a result, she can consume items, like rusted chains and iron shackles, to restore morale.
* BreakTheHaughty: She is easily one of the most arrogant characters, but at the end of her arc, if the player saves her instead of Roswell she realizes that she may have gone too far in her quest for more power and truly wants to fight back against the empire for the sake of Roswell, too.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: A very powerful witch and the leader of the White Rose that gives each one of her golems its own name, calls them her "little ones", and is shown in Kiyudzuki's 4koma (and the ''VideoGame/YggdraUnison'' drama CD) to like to dress them up.

One of Gulcasa's five generals, the Five Dragon Generals. Known as the "Astral Fencer."

%%Initially introduced as one of Gulcasa's top five generals, twenty-five-year-old "Astral Fencer" Russell is a swordsman who shows honor and chivalry towards both his allies and his enemies. He is revealed in the fourth chapter to have been enlisted in the Imperial Army by force--he was once part of the original Royal Army, but when Gulcasa captured Russell's home (Castle Karona, sitting right on the border of Bronquia) he was impressed by the swordsman's abilities and spirit and asked Russell to join the Imperial Army so that Gulcasa wouldn't have to kill him. Russell refused, but rather than lose such a strong fighter, Gulcasa imprisoned Russell's fiancée, Flone, with a promise to let her go once the war ended. If the player rescues Flone, Russell can be recruited, but otherwise he dies in the Royal Army's attack on Karona.

A leader of an resistance against the Empire.

%%Despite being twenty-two years old, Cruz is one of the sillier characters of the cast. He appears and can be recruited in an optional battlefield in Marduk Forest (though in the PSP version, he's briefly seen asking Bly for advice in the optional Lenessey battlefields); he's noted by Durant to be the leader of a guerilla-style resistance against the Empire, and a former Karonan soldier.

%%Sixteen years of age and originally a member of the Imperial Special Forces (assassins), Elena is introduced as a minor character--Zilva's protégée, who seems new to combat and is occasionally reluctant to do battle. She is eventually revealed to be "Black Knight" Leon's younger sister, who realized [[AxCrazy what a horrible person war had made him]] and joined the Imperial Army herself to first observe him--then kill him herself when she realized he couldn't change back. She eventually betrays the Imperial Army, and tries to fight Leon and Emilia on her own; she joins up with the Royal Army first temporarily (to defeat Leon), then permanently (after she has had time to bury her brother and resolve herself to her new path in life). Durant is initially very suspicious of her, and Elena despises herself for being a traitor, no matter what the circumstances are.

%%Elena is shown to have a strong attachment to and empathy for her former comrades, and likes items once owned by Imperial commanders; like Kylier, she's a vegetarian. Despite her roots, she feels a great loyalty for the Royal Army, who accept her as she is. Elena is implied to be bisexual, as she appears to have feelings for Zilva and possibly a mild crush on Milanor.

[[folder:Kylier]]
!!''Kylier''
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YuiSakakibara (Japanese), Creator/MichelleRuff (English)
!!!'''Class:''' Griffon Rider
-->''Yours isn't the only justice in the entire world! You think your Kingdom has been here forever? If your precious justice is an absolute, what's to stop the people here from carrying out their own?''

A griffon breeder and a friend of Milanor.

%%Seventeen years of age and a griffon breeder, Kylier is Milanor's longtime friend and supporter, and an honorary member of his band of thieves. While she's ordinarily a kind and cheerful girl, noticing that Milanor has taken up with Yggdra causes her to be rude, crude, and suspicious at levels that approach the most hardcore {{Tsundere}}'s ''tsuntsun''. Although Milanor doesn't understand why, it's revealed to the player that Kylier acts like this because she's in love with him, has jumped to conclusions that he loves Yggdra, and is ''incredibly jealous.''

%%Kylier's reasons for hating Yggdra go deeper than that, though--it turns out that Yggdra's family were responsible for destroying the civilization of the Vanir, Kylier's race, and exiled them to the barren wastes of Lost Aries. While over the course of the game, Kylier grows to like Yggdra as a person, their conflicting ideas on war and Kylier's bitterness towards Yggdra prevents her from permanently joining up with the Royal Army. In the end, Kylier sacrifices herself to allow the Royal Army to move forward in their conquest of Bronquia, which impacts Milanor deeply (and causes him to realize his own feelings for her).

%%Kylier loves griffons and is a vegetarian.
----
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: The priest who runs the orphanage where she grew up probably counts, since he's happy to recount her having been a "holy terror" (and apparently a bed-wetter) when she was a toddler even though she's already an adult making her way in the world.

* CutenessProximity: If you head by the griffon stables in Lost Aries at night, Kylier spends quite a while squeeing over how adorable they look when they're asleep.
%% * DyingAsYourself
%% * FantasticRacism
* FinalSpeech: And it's ''quite'' a speech, setting up TheReveal in the next battlefield and beginning to establish Nessiah as a more sympathetic character. Perhaps it's due to the fact that she didn't get one the first time around.

%%Only appearing in chapter 5, the twenty-eight-year-old Gordon is a loyal Temple Knight serving under Pope Joachim's sect of the Meria religion. He joins up with the Royal Army temporarily to assist in clearing out the corrupt members of the church and get Yggdra crowned so that she may combat the Imperial Army's next move. It is possible to have Gordon die permanently in Battlefield 32, while fighting Gulcasa--though it is just as possible for him to survive.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Kozue Kamada (Japanese), Kate Higgins (English)
!!!'''Class:''' Tactician
-->''My! You're such a cute girl! I just love that dress you're wearing. Is it tailor-made?''

The granddaughter of Bly, she inherits some of his tactical skills. She is training to be a housewife.

%%The granddaughter of Bly, a famous tactician who once served Yggdra's father and grandfather, Mistel is cheery, hardheaded, and "sheltered" according to Bly himself. She joins the Royal Army in her grandfather's place after they seek him out for help, and is revealed to actually possess a fair bit of Bly's tactical skills. She has a bit of a unique way of looking at things; despite the fact that she grew up in her family's hermitage in the Lenessey Mountains, she's surprisingly powerful (because she does all the farming and housework!!) and wields a scythe.

%%Mistel refers to herself as a housewife, although according to the side materials her fiancé ran off before they could get married, and shamelessly flirts with Durant and Roswell. At twenty-eight, she's the oldest member of the Royal Army.
----
%% * ActionGirl: Action Lady.
%% * BunnyEarsLawyer
* CanonForeigner: Mistel is a new character added in the PSP version.
%% * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: A mild case; since Pamela is so much more ''out there,'' Mistel's quirkiness looks much tamer in comparison.
* {{Housewife}}: The self-proclaimed housewife, despite not being married. Will still kick your ass, though.
* MaamShock: She gets offended when Milanor calls her old.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AiNonaka (Japanese), Creator/MelissaFahn (English)
!!!'''Class:''' Mystic Witch
-->''Hee hee. Your name is Nietzsche, right? I need to log your looks and traits.. memo memo... Tail length... breast size... shape of the face. Fascinating!''

A strange young witch who seems obsessed with Undines.

%%A strange young witch who seems obsessed with Undines. Her age is listed as "unknown" in most of the extras, but the official website states her to be fifteen years old. While little was shown about her in the original game, her role is explained in more detail when she joins the Royal Army--Pamela is on a quest to obtain eternal life (and eternal youth), and is studying the Undines to see how they use the Transmigragem to reincarnate. The extras reveal that she is one of the Yumel, a race of Sprites who live in a parallel dimension known as Yumira. Over a thousand years ago, they sheltered and supported Nessiah when they found out who and what he was, and helped him to master the Power of Words in [[EyeScream exchange for one of his eyes]]. Pamela's quest for immortality is implied to be inspired by her people's memories of Nessiah's tragic fate.

%%Pamela is incredibly childish and has an extremely unrealistic view of the events around her, and tries to ''buy'' Nietzsche from the Royal Army when her attempt at stalking them fails--then proceeds to cry and throw a temper tantrum when they refuse to sell [[TrueCompanions their companion]]. After Roswell or Rosary points out that Pamela has rare powers and Nietzsche says that she feels sorry for Pamela, Milanor and Durant reluctantly let her join up. Pamela loves all things to do with Undines and strange objects, and doesn't get along with Rosary. She, like many women of the party, occasionally flirts with Roswell.
----
* AchillesHeel: Her sole weakness is that she is countered by Undines. While it's hilarious when you first meet her as it gives Nietzche an easy win against her, it's stop being funny once you start encountering Undines in the last few chapters.
* AscendedExtra: Pamela only had a brief appearance in the GBA version, but can be recruited on the PSP version.

!The Imperial Army
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ygg-imperialarmy_9087.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:From left to right, pictured here are [[{{Pyromaniac}} Eudy]], [[EmotionlessGirl Zilva]], [[LittleMissBadass Emilia]], [[AxCrazy Leon]], [[MessianicArchetype Gulcasa]], [[TagTeamTwins Aegina]], [[CoolOldGuy Baldus]], Russell, and [[FallenAngel Nessiah]].]]

The primary antagonists, led by Emperor Gulcasa.

As a band of TrueCompanions who happen to be three years past that [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits awkward puppy stage]], Gulcasa and his men are a BadassArmy powerful enough to strike fear into the hearts of the rest of the continental world--especially after defeating Fantasinia, the country always thought to be the dominant world power. Aside from [[OptionalPartyMember new addition Russell]] and [[TheSlacker the mercenary Inzaghi]], they are all patriots united by their belief in Gulcasa and love of their homeland; most of them have some form of RedBaron.

As one may guess by this description, they're similar to the Royal Army, and are in fact [[HeroAntagonist heroic enough]] to get [[VideoGame/BlazeUnion their own game]].

!!Emperor of Bronquiaa
[[folder:Gulcasa]]
!!''Gulcasa''
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Hiroaki Miura (Japanese), Creator/TroyBaker (English)
!!!'''Class:''' Dragon Knight
-->''Heh... Foolish to the end... You and I... Our souls may remain distant for eternity... But your heart, that beat so strong as to crush our will... That... we will... never forget...''

The young Emperor of Bronquia, he leads his army in conquering Fantasinia. He is known as the "Emperor of Carnage."

%%The young Emperor of Bronquia, Gulcasa wrested leadership of his country from a loathed predecessor in a bloody coup d'état and, at the age of twenty, is a terrifying threat to his enemies and a beloved sovereign to his own people. After stabilizing Bronquia, he launched an invasion and conquest of Fantasinia that went nearly perfectly--the only snarl in the plan was that Yggdra escaped her parents' fate. The two of them clash multiple times over the course of the story; Yggdra gradually goes from seeing him as an evil dictator and murderer to perceiving him as a ruler who is much the same as she is. Gulcasa is a shrewd ruler, but can be brash and ignore his own condition once he loses his temper, which gives him some trouble after his DeadlyUpgrade.

%%Gulcasa is eventually revealed to be a distant descendant of the dragon Brongaa. Once he and his army are driven from Fantasinia by the Royal Army, he takes drastic action to provide himself a trump card, should the Royal Army ever invade Bronquia: He captures Yggdra and uses her to facilitate the Rite of Soul Unbinding, where he [[DeadlyUpgrade accepts Brongaa's soul into his own body]]. While this does grant him inhuman strength, the true purpose of the ritual is to give Gulcasa the ability to resurrect Brongaa [[HeroicSacrifice at the cost of his own life,]] after which he believes his ancestor will save his people and destroy all others. At the end of the war, when he has lost everyone important to him, Gulcasa tries to do this; if he succeeds, it leads to the game's NonstandardGameOver.

%%Although he is the main antagonist, Gulcasa is portrayed in a [[MessianicArchetype somewhat messianic light]] towards the end of the game, as Yggdra's counterpart.

* NiceToTheWaiter: There are a lot of scenes where messengers come to deliver him news that ranges from unpleasant to awful, but Gulcasa never once takes it out on them.

!!Five Dragon Generals
[[folder:Nessiah]]
!!''Nessiah [[spoiler:Aries Artwaltz]]''
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Junichi Miyake (Japanese), Vic Mignogna (English)
-->''"Just"?! I've spent my life working for this! Hundreds of years! I suppose I shouldn't expect humans to understand that... Anyway, as I said, I am that sword's rightful owner. It's time you gave me back the Gran Centurio!''

A mysterious sorcerer and one of the Five Dragon Generals.

%%First appearing at Machina Bridge, Nessiah is one of Gulcasa's Five Dragon Generals as well as Gulcasa's main strategist. The two of them are on FirstNameBasis and appear to be fairly close. The extras list his age as "unknown", but the official site states him to be nineteen years old, at least in appearance. Although he seems to be a loyal member of the Imperial Army, he betrays them after Gulcasa captures Yggdra, killing all his men and informing Milanor of where Gulcasa is taking Yggdra before killing himself. However, he appears again a few battlefields later to scold Milanor and the Royal Army for not moving quickly enough.

%%Nessiah is actually a fallen angel, and the creator of the Gran Centurio. When he lived in Asgard, he went by the name "Aries". Blinded, stripped of his wings, and bound by the Chains of Conviction--which force him to exist eternally, without being able to age or die--Nessiah was cast down to Yggdra's world; as soon as he regained himself from the trauma, he gave the Gran Centurio to Yggdra's family, and whenever the human world became too peaceful, he provoked conflicts that turned into wars. The Gran Centurio would gain power from battle--enough to break his chains--and after that, Nessiah planned to take it back and use it to [[RageAgainstTheHeavens destroy the system that had made his life so miserable]]. The wars in Yggdra's generation finally gave the Gran Centurio its necessary power, and after Gulcasa's defeat, Nessiah tried to begin his vengeance. Yggdra and the Royal Army, furious with him for his [[PeoplePuppets penchant for reviving the dead to mess with them/get them to power up his sword]] and fearing for what might happen to their world, refused to hand over the Gran Centurio--leading to an epic battle.

%%In addition to the Gran Centurio, Nessiah is also the creator of Roswell and Rosary's Ankhs and the Tactics Cards. He constantly carries a golden spellbook known as the Revelation of the Gods, which appears to be his most treasured possession.
----
%% * {{Ahoge}}: It's not as noticeable as Yggdra's, as it doesn't stand straight up, but he has one.
* AllThereInTheManual: Every one of the Dragon Generals has his or her own title; Nessiah's, while never brought up in-game, is ''yogensha'', or "The Prophet". Not much of his backstory is mentioned in-game, either.
%%* BestServedCold
* {{BFS}}: The Gran Centurio. Especially jarring when you realize that, as he's slightly shorter than Yggdra, ''it's bigger than he is.''
* BlindSeer: Subverted. He's blind, but despite his title, he's not a seer--he's just ''too'' damn good at XanatosSpeedChess.
* BroughtDownToNormal: His real powers as a Grim Angel were sealed by the gods when he was exiled. [[WeakButSkilled Not that this has helped the world of Ancardia in the least]].
* ChainedByFashion: Subverted. Nessiah wears the Chains of Conviction because he cannot break them until the Gran Centurio is powerful enough.
%%* ConflictingLoyalty: Generally seen as the reason for his actions in Battlefield 18.
* EarlyBirdCameo: During chapter 2, [[InfallibleBabble villagers in Embellia and Verlaine]] mention a "wandering magician" who seems to have provoked a great deal of chaos by playing off the Undines' FantasticRacism and Roswell and Rosary's rivalry.
%%* EyeScream: On ''three separate occasions'', the last of which was completely voluntary. Oh, Nessiah.
* FinalBoss: [[spoiler:Unless you are going for Ending C or D, he is, by no question, the final challenge you face.]]
%% * HellishPupils: Going by the eye in the Gran Centurio, at least.
%% * HoistByHisOwnPetard: He really should have gotten back the Gran Centurio before it was fully charged.
%% * IJustWantToBeFree
* ImageSong: ''Hahen'' (Total Destruction) and ''patria'', the game's two themes, are considered to be his [[ThematicThemeTune due to their content]], which really can't be from the perspective of any other characters.
* OffstageVillainy: Makes up most of his in-game characterization, as you can just barely track him if you pay very close attention to local villagers. The ways that he manipulates Fantasinia's various allies into convenient civil wars to keep them out of Gulcasa's hair go a long way to show [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters what Nessiah has come to expect of people.]]
%% * OurAngelsAreDifferent
%% * PassiveAggressiveKombat: ''Holy shit.'' (This is changed to his being a DeadpanSnarker in the Atlus USA localization.)
%% * PeoplePuppets
%% * PhlebotinumRebel
%% * RageAgainstTheHeavens
%% * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld
* ResurrectiveImmortality: Reincarnating is supposed to be hellishly painful and leaves him weak, but he will inevitably reincarnate no matter what. It overlaps with ImmortalityInducer (and to some extent TheAgeless, as he no longer ages), and by the time of ''Yggdra Union'' he's spent over a thousand years trying to destroy what forces him to stay alive.
%% * RevengeBeforeReason: Battlefield 46.
%% * ShadowArchetype: To Ein, the protagonist of ''[[VideoGame/RivieraThePromisedLand Riviera]].''
%% * StayingAlive
%% * TheStrategist
* SuperpowerLottery: Ridiculously powerful magic, WaifFu, Reincarnation, a thousand years of experience, and an [[ResurrectiveImmortality inability to be permanently killed]]--oh, and he also happens to be a Grim Angel.
%% * DramaPreservingHandicap: Thank God for the Chains of Conviction. And the fact that he never got a Diviner.
%% * WeakButSkilled: In comparison to the rest of the Grim Angels, thanks to his true powers being sealed away.
* CombatPragmatist: The Tactical Pragmatist in Combat. Sabotaging Verlaine and Embellia was an excellent way to make sure Bronquia wouldn't get wiped out trying to attack Fantasinia, and it also ensured that Yggdra wouldn't have any convenient allies that would take over the fighting for her. Which made it brilliant. It was also ''absolutely ruthless.''
%% * ThatManIsDead: If you're friends, you know him as Nessiah; if you're from Asgard, he's "the Fallen One". Not Aries. ''Never'' Aries. Not anymore.
%% * ThrowTheBookAtThem
%% * TooCleverByHalf
* TheUnreveal: Only a very abbreviated version of his backstory is explained in-game. The dialogue never goes into what he was like before he was made a Grim Angel against his will, nor is it ever mentioned how he was involved with Brongaa's defeat or Lost Aries. ...The fact that ''he's Aries'' was casually stated in the PSP version's game guide, caused a lot of confusion, and was explained in a bit more detail only in the ''Dept.

!!''Emilia''
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AiNonaka (Japanese), Creator/JulieAnnTaylor (English)
-->''D-did you call me... a kid...?! ...That's it! I've had it with being treated like a child! And, I'm going to take it all out on YOU!''

Gulcasa's younger sister and one of the Five Dragon Generals. She is known as the "Scarlet Princess."

%%Gulcasa's younger sister, "Scarlet Princess" Emilia is one of his Five Dragon Generals at only fourteen years old. She's incredibly powerful despite her youth, and is braver than most people twice her age; unfortunately, many of her own allies (with the notable exceptions of Gulcasa, Baldus, and Leon) tend to indicate that she should [[StayInTheKitchen keep away from the battlefield due to her age]]. Because of this, Emilia is given to insisting (loudly) that she's not a child anymore, and is prone to [[BerserkButton fits of rage]] when anyone in the Royal Army calls her a kid. Ironically, her preference for Goth-Loli clothing makes her look much younger than she is... Still, Emilia takes to the battlefield more than any other member of the Imperial Army, and rescues her brother on many occasions.

%%Because the extras reveal that she and Gulcasa are only half-siblings (they had the same father), it used to be hotly debated by fans whether or not Emilia is also a descendant of Brongaa--[[strike:there seems to be no conclusive answer, as her ears are covered by her bonnet (so it's impossible to tell whether she's concealing ''jigokumimi'' like Gulcasa or if hers are normal)]], but ''VideoGame/BlazeUnion'' seems to have cleared things up a bit[[note]]Yes, Emilia is also one of Brongaa's descendants; her ears are normal because unlike Gulcasa, she's not a pureblood[[/note]].

%% * BigBrotherWorship

* ComeOutComeOutWhereverYouAre: Towards the end of Chapter 5, while searching for Joachim.

The elder Dragon General of the Imperial Army. He is known as the "God of War."

%%The oldest member of the Imperial Army, "God of War" Baldus is a grizzled and experienced veteran of fifty-five. He is a native of Ishnad and is incredibly loyal to Gulcasa, and serves as the Imperial defensive strategist. Although he is first encountered either in Lenessey or the battle for Castle Paltina (depending on whether the player completes the alternate Lenessey battlefields or not), his default post seems to be defending Fort Ishnad, the only entrance to Bronquia; this gives him the nickname "Bronquia's Shield". Baldus is well-liked and respected by everyone in the Imperial Army, and treats even his enemies with courtesy.

%%In the alternate Lenessey battlefields, Baldus is revealed to have been Bly's rival when he was a young captain.

-->''Come one, come all! We've got a special on bloody murder today!''

One of the Five Dragon Generals. Known as the "Black Knight," he is known for his savagry.

%%One of Gulcasa's Five Dragon Generals, "Black Knight" Leon is merciless, bloodthirsty, and sadistic. He appears several times in the early part of the story, and attacks the Royal Army ferociously. Everyone seems to dislike him but his own men, but Roswell in particular hates Leon for betraying him and trying to kill him (effectively hitting him in the head with the DistressBall) at Verlaine Hills. His sister Elena, six years younger, explains to the Royal Army that he wasn't always so despicable, but that whatever he's been through in the war has turned him into a downright evil man who kills everything in his path and likes to torture civilians. Elena joined the Imperial Army to observe him, and kill him if she had to.

%%In the side materials, it's revealed that Leon started to lose his mind when Gulcasa's predecessor executed his and Elena's parents on suspicion of treason.
----

In many of their encounters, Leon eventually seems to even enjoy starting a fight with Milanor.
* TheFaceless: Much of his face is covered by his helmet and doesn't show taking it off once.
* FreudianExcuse: Leon is a complete asshole and a psychopath, but his backstory makes this rather understandable. He started going crazy after the old emperor killed his parents and war only made things worse for him.

The leader of the Imperial Special Forces.

%%Master of the Imperial assassins, the twenty-year-old Zilva leads Gulcasa's Special Forces. She is shown to have perfect control over her emotions, and is usually more-or-less expressionless, speaking in flat tones. Zilva is very dutiful and shows absolute loyalty to Gulcasa, and often handles discreet missions or is dispatched to support one of the Five Dragon Generals. She and her women adhere to a very strict code. She isn't completely emotionless, however; she has taken Leon's younger sister Elena as a special protégée and seems close with her. Once Elena defects and joins the Royal Army, for instance, Zilva shows marked hesitance to do battle with her, despite the fact that the Imperial assassins' code states that betrayal can only be punished with death.

%%Both the leader of the Imperial witches and the master of Imperial ballistics, Eudy comes off as calm, collected, and in control--until she's given a cannon to fire. Then she starts [[EvilLaugh cackling like a maniac]] and squeeing about bombarding her enemies, and it gets pretty obvious that she's a pyromaniac. There's only one battlefield over the entire game where she fights without having a cannon to fire; her cannons often make battlefields a hassle, and as such she becomes a character that many players love to hate. Eudy is one of only four Imperial officers who survive until Chapter 8, and is killed when [[HeroicSacrifice Kylier destroys the Arc of Triumph]].

%%Like many other women in the cast, Eudy is often seen flirting shamelessly with Roswell. She and Mistel have many similarities, down to being the same age, which Mistel lampshades by asking brightly if Eudy is a housewife, too. (Eudy does not comment.)

A mercenary hired by the Bronquian Empire. He is known for his laziness.

%%A mercenary hired by Gulcasa to give Bronquia some extra muscle, Inzaghi is an incredibly lazy slacker and tends to take a lot of abuse from his superiors (whoever they may be) for it. He does seem to consider himself to be Milanor's rival, though, and is fond of declaring that "I'll get you this time, you damn thief!"; he also ridicules Yggdra at first for the size of her sword as compared to her physique (and regrets it very quickly afterward). Inzaghi is killed in Russell's HeelFaceTurn, less than halfway through the game.

%%A sixteen-year-old Bronquian peasant, Monica and her childhood friend Canaan gather the youths of their village, Bardot, and form a militia to try to stop the Royal Army's invasion. As they don't know much about combat, though, Monica and her forces are unable to stand up to Yggdra's army, and are killed trying to defend their homeland; Emilia, the only Imperial commander available, tries to save them but doesn't make it in time. The game's extras reveal that Monica is a pious follower of the Meria religion, and decided to fight because of divine inspiration; her character is comparable to Yggdra's at the beginning of the game.

%%Monica's childhood friend, the seventeen-year-old Canaan is the co-commander of the Bardot militia. Enraged over Monica's death, he stubbornly refuses to surrender to the Royal Army and despite a rescue attempt by Emilia, he is defeated by Yggdra's army much the same way Monica was.

Only appearing in the last battlefield (or second-to-last, depending on which ending the player chooses), Marietta is a beautiful and imposing archangel, and the designated guardian angel of Heaven's Gate. While her age is never officially given, she is stated to seem as though she's in her twenties. Marietta jumps to conclusions that Yggdra and her army have arrived in Heaven's Gate to [[RageAgainstTheHeavens make war on Asgard]], and orders them to give up the Gran Centurio or die. If Yggdra complies, this results in the game's best ending; if not, the Royal Army is presented with the herculean task of defeating her.

Marietta appears to be wise and given to kindness when she's not in KnightTemplar mode, and gives Yggdra a scepter to replace the Gran Centurio in ending A. She is a recurring character in the ''VideoGame/DeptHeaven'' series, and her story is continued in ''VideoGame/KnightsInTheNightmare''.

%%Queen Emelone's right-hand woman, and a warrior of Embellia. Ishiene blames her race's misfortunes on humankind in general, and not simply the man who seduced Nietzsche's sister; she's zealously unforgiving of what she considers "treachery against Undines" and protective of her queen.

%%The queen of Embellia and technically of all Undines, twenty-six years of age. Before the Transmigragem was stolen, she was allied with Yggdra's father, Ordene. In comparison to her troops, who often come across as angry zealots blaming all humans for their misfortunes, Emelone is portrayed as calm, level-headed, and wise. When Yggdra asks her to call off the attacks on humans, Emelone replies that while she also doesn't think it's a solution to the Undines' problems, she is obligated to do whatever she can to protect them as their queen. Taking this refusal to surrender as unforgivable, Yggdra and her army battle and kill Emelone's forces, but are left confused as to whether they did the right thing.

%%Although her role is brief, Emelone is actually the first to introduce the concept that every nation has its own unique concept of justice, which becomes the ArcWords of chapters seven and eight.

Ortega and his men first appear taking advantage of Embellia's civil war to harass its citizens, and return as an obstacle to the Royal Army's progress. Like many bandit organizations, Ortega is interested in the prospect of capturing Yggdra for the bounty Bronquia places on her (he also seems to be interested in making Rosary "his"... and/or [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking raping Roswell, killing him... and then selling his clothes]]).

%%A twenty-one-year-old bounty hunter who harries the Royal Army several times throughout the game in an attempt to capture Yggdra. (He's also shown once pursuing the bounty on Cruz.) His persistence is noted by several characters (Milanor jokes that Mizer probably has a crush on her), but Mizer is known to act cautiously and retreat once he's taken a certain amount of damage.

Amareus is mindlessly devoted to Juvelon, which... has some, uh, ''[[{{Squick}} interesting]]'' implications in her backstory. If Juvelon is defeated in battle before she is, Amareus kills herself on the spot.
----
%% * BattleButler: Juvelon's.
%% * ChurchMilitant
* DrivenToSuicide: If Juvelon is defeated first, then Amareus will kill herself.
* HyperCompetentSidekick: She is probably the most dangerous of Juvelon's underlings.
* TakingForGranate: As Juvelon's underling, her card skill is Medusa Eye, which can petrify an enemy if their Technique is higher. Unlike Juvelon, Amareus has at least 5 stars in Technique so she'll likely inflict the effect on your unit.
%% * TheTease

[[folder:Bly]]
!!''Bly''
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Kouji Haramaki (Japanese), Creator/MichaelMcConnohie (English)
-->''With practice, man can utilize the skills he was born with. But eventually, he must accept what talents he lacks! Now, scram!''

A crotchety old hermit living in the Lenessey mountains with his granddaughter, Mistel. Bly was once a famous tactician in the employ of Yggdra's grandfather and then her father, but he was exiled after a court scandal. Despite the fact that he and his family were thrown out of Fantasinia and supposed to have been killed simply because he spoke honestly as to his intentions should Ordene become corrupt, Bly still seems to look on Ordene fondly and shows regret that he couldn't support the king. He still considers Baldus his rival, as the two often fought on opposite sides of wars in their youth and Baldus was the only man who could ever see through Bly's plans.

Bly is the first character to speak to Yggdra objectively about the situation before the war, and is the only character not from Bronquia who acknowledges that Gulcasa saved his people from a hated tyrant.

!!''Joachim Lia Blaucent''
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Masaya Takatsuka (Japanese), Kirk Thornton (English)
-->''What is the matter? Why do you hesitate? You are of royal blood. You have a duty to the people. Who else can bear the responsibility of the crown?''

The 47th pope of the Meria religion, sixty-four years of age. Joachim is the leader of the traditional sect of Meria, and commands the Temple Knights; he and his following are attacked by the Imperial Army in an attempt to keep him from crowning Yggdra. Joachim appears to be a wise and kindly old man, but he is quite harsh with Yggdra when she becomes unsure about whether her actions are just, telling her that rule is a duty she cannot escape and must stand up to. When Luciana attempts to kill Yggdra at her coronation, Joachim pushes her out of the way and takes the blow. He is the one to reveal to Yggdra that Gulcasa has the capability to summon Brongaa.
