Kelthan

The leader of the titular Battlecats.

Blue Is Heroic: He's the most heroic and noble character on the team, and both his cape and armor consists of blue hues.
Drowning My Sorrows: He spends the first issue of Volume 3 getting drunk off mead, blaming himself for King Ermand III's death and losing control over Fanghelm.
Honor Before Reason: Deconstructed. In the final issue of Volume 1, he chooses not to kill the Dire Beast because it's actually a transformed King Ermand II. Instead, Kelthan brings the beast back to Fanghelm and confronts King Ermand III about its origins. Once revealed, the King threatens to kill all of the Battlecats unless Kelthan does his duty. Begrudgingly, he does...and then Kelthan and the Battlecats are imprisoned anyway and forced to participate in Rorinhal simply for speaking out of place.
Lightning Bruiser: Kelthan is a very stocky feline who wears heavy armor and also wields a BFS. This dos not stop him from being as swift and agile as his fellow companions, nor does it stop him from delivering very powerful, sometimes fatal attacks.
My Country, Right or Wrong: Kelthan will do anything he can to obey the laws of the Ermand Dynasty and the ways of the Lion God. This ends up being his Fatal Flaw, as his strong devotion to his country contradicts his sense of honor when his superiors turn out to be keeping secrets from him.

Kaleera

The Battlecats' archer.

Fiery Redhead: She's the most emotional member of the team, prone to calling out her teammates whenever they do anything wrong or anything that gets the team in trouble.
Guys Smash, Girls Shoot: Kaleera and Vaela use ranged and magic attacks, respectively, while Mekkar, Kelthan, and Zorien all fight with close-combat weapons.
The Worf Effect: She's immediately curb-stomped by Eltoreq in the second issue to show just how easily the Blood Moon can enhance someone's abilities.

Vaela

The Battlecats' mage.

The Chosen One: She's one of the few felines in the world who possess the Mark of the Fang, which gives its owner small fragments of power from the Lion God.
Combat Medic: On top of being a skilled fighter and magician, she has the power to heal her allies with her spells.
Guys Smash, Girls Shoot: Vaela and Kaleera use magic and ranged attacks, respectively, while Kelthan, Mekkar, and Zorien all fight with close-combat weapons.
Purple Is Powerful: Most of her clothing consists of purple hues. She's the only member of the team capable of unleashing devastating magic attacks. She also bears the Mark of the Fang, which has given her a fraction of god-like powers.
Squishy Wizard: Despite how powerful she is, Vaela can't take a punch. She's subdued and later kidnapped by Valadar after being punched once in the gut in Issue 7. The very next issue ends with Vaela nearly perishing during the Rorinhal tournaments while the rest of the team walks away with only a couple superficial wounds.
Worf Had the Flu: Vaela is arguably the strongest member of the Battlecats...when she can use magic. Valadar manages to incapacitate her with a single punch in Issue 7 because they were fighting in the Garden of Solitude, a domain that voids the usage of Vaela's Shadow magic.

Zorien

The Battlecats' powerhouse.

The Big Guy: He's the brawniest character on the team, and also the one who delivers the heaviest blows against his enemies.
Forgiven, but Not Forgotten: In spite of everything Eltoreq had done, Zorien chooses to forgive him at the end of Issue 15. He does not spare him though, because he knows what kind of feline Eltoreq has become, and he definitely hasn't forgotten about all the horrible atrocities Eltoreq had committed.
Gentle Giant: He's the least likely one to seek out fights and mostly keeps to himself, only fighting when necessary.
Mighty Glacier: He's not as swift as the other Battlecats, but he's physically the strongest and least likely to go down because of his build.
Nice Guy: He's the nicest member on the team and usually is the one who tries to defuse any hostility amongst the group.
The Quiet One: Zorien has the least amount of dialogue in the group, only choosing to speak when he needs to or if someone is talking to him directly.
The Stoic: He rarely shows emotion throughout the comic. Even when he's telling his team about Eltoreq's traitorous past, he manages to keep his emotions in check and doesn't succumb to anger.
We Used to Be Friends: He used to be best friends with Eltoreq when they were cubs.

Mekkar

The Battlecats' snarky bard.

Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Mekkar isn't exactly bright, and his cocky attitude sometimes gets him in trouble and or puts him and the team in danger. Doesn't mean he's incapable of handling himself, nor does this mean he won't fight off his foes to defend himself or his allies.
Deadpan Snarker: Whenever he's not making light of a situation, he's usually providing some witty or sarcastic commentary.
Made of Iron: Mekkar is repeatedly subjected to an insane amount of pain and somehow manages to take blows from someone like Birch without dying. Miraculously, he'll get right back up and keep fighting.
Plucky Comic Relief: Downplayed. Mekkar typically is the one to joke around on the team and banters with the other Battlecats. But he knows the time and place to make a joke, and he takes grave situations seriously just like the rest of his team does.
Throwing Your Shield Always Works: Mekkar resorts to this several times when he can't penetrate his foes' defenses. Most notable, he does this to kill a blood priest and it's how he mortally wounds Birch.
