Eliwood's Tale: Lost Resolve
Onslow, King of Thieves
The leader of the Bolm Mountain Bandits, a bandit group that has been harassing Pherae for a long time. His life's goal is to overthrow the Pheraen royal family and rule as king, having taken up the title King of Bandits in advance.
Class: Rogue
Tale: Lost Resolve and Rebuilding Pherae
- Bad Boss: Has no qualms sending hordes of his own bandit troops to battle while not caring for what would happen to them in the slightest.
- Big Bad Duumvirate: In a sense, with his subordinate Wagner.
- Fragile Speedster: As a Rogue, his Speed is his key asset, allowing him to double your characters almost all the time.
Lyn's Tale: Homecoming
Khitan
The patriarch of the Djute clan of Sacae, longtime enemies of the Kutolah. He aims to destroy his rival clan, preferably from within.
Class: Nomadic Trooper
Tale: Homecoming
- Arch-Enemy: The Kutolah. Khitan's description states he "[p]rofoundly hates the Kutolah", which shows in his desire to eradicate the clan, so that the Djute may rise to become all-powerful in Sacae.
- Infinity +1 Sword: Wields the sacred bow Yewfelle from the Jugdral games.
- Manipulative Bastard: Hires a Summoner into screwing with Prasad's mind, drawing out the latter's urge for revenge on the Kutolah, which would serve to Khitan's benefit.
- That One Boss: In part thanks to Yewfelle giving him amazing (read: maxed-out) Strength and Skill, allowing him to one- or two-shot a good deal of your available units.
Prasad
A member of the Kutolah clan. Something looks off about him, and the truth is quite grim.
Class: Nomadic Trooper
Tale: Poisoned by Madness
- Abnormal Ammo: Pavor, his custom-made bow that puts to sleep anyone struck by its arrows. The effect is explained by Prasad's skills as an apothecary.
- Dirty Coward: Hides behind a one-tile barrier of rocks, allowing him to snipe from a distance with less fear of being hit in return.
- I Have You Now, My Pretty: Performs this on Lyn, forcing her to partake in his schemes, all to lure out the Kutolah forces.
- The Mole: Invites Lyn over to a hillside where he claims to stand every night, explaining the situation of his parents' murder at Dayan's hands, and sneakily sedates Lyn when her guard is down. Prasad is then faced as the boss of the chapter.
- Revenge: Blames Dayan for the murder of his parents, and claims to be tortured by their screams of agony every night. In reality, they were Bulgar assassins hired by the Djute to destroy the Kutolah, which Prasad does not believe at first.
- Status Effects: Can inflict sleep with his custom bow, Pavor.
- Walking Spoiler: He is actually a mole who wants to avenge his parents' deaths at the hands of Dayan.
- Weak, but Skilled: Relative to Rath, Prasad doesn't deal as much damage, but can inflict sleep with Pavor, which lets him lay the smackdown on his foes much more easily.
Kent's Tale: Caelin in Turmoil
Gaufrid
A Halberdier of Caelin, and Kent's right-hand man during the latter's tenure as Steward of Caelin.
Class: Halberdier
Tale: Caelin in Turmoil
- Ambiguously Brown: Stands out as the character with the darkest skin tone in the entire game. Gaufrid is not the only character with dark skin, but is much darker than the likes of Opal.
- Critical Hit Class: Aside from the aforementioned critical boost, Gaufrid comes armed with a Killer Lance, which adds another 30 points to his base critical rate, pumping it up to 45 crit when wielding it.
- The Lancer: Any puns aside, he fulfills the role with Kent. Fittingly, Kent prefers swords as his weapon of choice.
- True Companions: With Kent, being his second-in-command and most trusted ally during Kent's time as Steward of Caelin.
Hervor
The bastard granddaughter of Lundgren, Lyn's granduncle. A woman of amazing power and ambition.
Class: Paladin
- Action Girl: A villainous example. Hervor is described in-game as "[a]n ambitious, adamant woman", which shows in her willingness to give Caelin back to its people by staking a claim to the throne and instigating civil war. On top of that, her elegant yet imposing appearance might remind one of traditional Valkyries as described in Norse mythology, especially the wing ornaments in her hair.
- Ambition Is Evil: Hervor will do anything to preserve the state of Caelin rather than seeing it annexed by Ostia. That immediately becomes her undoing, as she falls in battle to Kent's forces.
- Civil War: Instigates one with a group of Caelin preservationists, hoping to dethrone Kent and give Hervor the throne.
- Heroic Bastard: Averted. Hervor is Lundgren's bastard granddaughter, and he never acknowledged her as his own, but deems her birthright strong enough to stake a valid claim to the Caelin throne.
- Lightning Bruiser: Oh, hell yes. While her Str seems middling for a boss, her Silver Poleaxe has 16 Mt, and her Speed is high enough to either double some of your units or hit them with a single powerful strike. Furthermore, her high HP and defenses coupled with the Knight Ward grant her great durability, making her quite the threatening boss to face.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Hervor genuinely has the best intentions for Caelin and supports the part of the populace that wishes for Caelin to remain its own territory rather than being annexed by Ostia. However, she is willing to do ''anything'' for the Caelin throne, going as far as to instigate civil war in order to achieve her goals. Additionally, in contrast to her grandfather Lundgren, Hervor acts in the name of the people who want to see Caelin preserved as its own state, while her dear old gramps only wanted power.
Jerrot's Tale: Ilia's Young Commander
Jerrot
A young Halberdier assigned to a remote Ilian post near the capital of Edessa. In spite of his young age, he has shown himself to be quite promising.
Class: Halberdier
- Critical Hit Class: See Gaufrid above, except Jerrot does not have a Killer Lance. However, he more than makes up for that.
- Determinator: In spite of his severe leg injury, Jerrot is determined to continue fighting, even if it means having to fight on horseback. Now, consider what his class is in The Binding Blade...
- Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors: Thanks to the Partisan, he covers the entire weapon triangle with just his lances.
- Infinity -1 Sword: The Partisan, Jerrot's Prf weapon, which is a ranged Axereaver with added critical potential.
- Infinity +1 Sword: Maltet, the Blizzard Spear, is in his possession. If Jerrot can double someone with it, they're done for.
- Nice Guy: Convinces Sykes to defect and fight for his countrymen, free from Tybalt's oppression.
- Oblivious to Love: Is completely unaware of Sigune's lust for him. That also coerces her into attacking him when he calls Juno's name rather than hers.
- Undying Loyalty: To his beloved Juno. They are mutually very devoted to one another. Jerrot also wants to use the money he has gained for an engagement ring, as he plans to marry Juno before leaving.
Sykes
A troubled Swordmaster who has spent a long time in Sacae. Forced to fight his countrymen against his will, and has grown tired of oppressing his fellows.
Class: Swordmaster
- Awesome, but Impractical: His Steel Blade lets him hit hard, but its Wt of 14 slows Sykes down significantly.
- Because You Were Nice to Me: Jerrot's kindness grants him Sykes's loyalty and support.
- Critical Hit Class: Par for the course as a Swordmaster. The Razor Sword lets him land crits more easily.
- Glass Cannon: Not that fast for his class, but capable of doubling nonetheless and packs a serious punch.
- Heel–Face Turn: Sykes is not at all evil, and Jerrot convinces him to turn on Tybalt and fight for his countrymen rather than against them.
- Nice Guy: Sykes has his heart in the right place, and all it takes for Jerrot to convince him to switch sides is sparing his life. A simple act of kindness gives Sykes the courage to stand up to Marshall Tybalt.
Tybalt
The current Marshall of Ilia, who has occupied Castle Edessa. Cruel, unforgiving and cold, Tybalt deliberately launches an attack on Jerrot's forces.
Class: Wyvern Lord
- Bad Boss: Perfectly willing to off his subordinates if it means surviving on his own, on top of tormenting his countrymen without a shred of remorse.
- Crapsack World: Believes the world to be one, which he uses as an excuse to justify his cruel treatment of the common folk.
- Dragon Rider: As a Wyvern Lord, he uses axes in battle, but is not equipped with a lance of any kind.
- No-Sell: Holds an Iron Rune, negating Jerrot's potential for him to land a Critical Hit on Tybalt.
- Survival Of The Fittest: A staunch believer of this philosophy who thinks the likes of Jerrot are not conditioned to the cruelty in the world. Not that that excuses any of his own transgressions.
- Taking You with Me: Inflicts a grievous wound to Jerrot's leg, making the latter nearly lose the use of said leg. However, Jerrot comes out alive while Tybalt kicks the bucket due to excessive blood loss.
Legault's Tale: Ivory Flower of Light
Nando
An Etrurian Mage Knight and scholar of noble descent who left his old life behind and joined the Black Fang.
Class: Mage Knight
- Ambiguously Brown: One of the lighter examples, but Nando has a noticeable tan to his skin tone, although not to the same degree as his colleague Opal.
- Animal Motifs: The crane.
- Blow You Away: Excalibur, which Legault hands to him in tandem with his new position among the Four Fangs.
- Cultured Badass: Nando is the most culturally refined character of the new Black Fang, as well as being the sharpest-dressed. In his conversation with Dieter in Pt. 2, Nando expresses his desire to become a historian by archiving the events of the present, thus writing the new chapters in the history books of Elibe.
- Excalibur: Upon being anointed the Red Crane of the Four Fangs, Nando is given Excalibur, the regalia wind tome formerly wielded by Ursula.
- Foil: To Ursula, who herself belonged to the Four Fangs. Firstly, both are mounted Red Mages, although Ursula was of the female-only Valkyrie class, while Nando is a Mage Knight instead. Secondly, their titles continue the avian theme, although with opposite colors; Ursula was the Blue Crow, while Nando is the Red Crane.
- Playing with Fire: Can be given the Elfire tome dropped by the enemy Sage in Pt. 1.
- Red Baron: The Red Crane of the new Four Fangs.
- Red Mage: A mounted one capable of using Anima magic and healing staves, with a preference for the former.
- Ship Tease: With Opal, when Legault tells them they're a perfect pair.
- Shock and Awe: The armory in Pt. 1 lets him purchase a Thunder tome, as well as Bolting.
- Squishy Wizard: While his Resistance is good and his Defense decent, his HP is quite lacking, meaning two physical blows can easily fell him.
Opal
A Sniper belonging to the Nabatan bandits, a clan that collectively joined the Black Fang.
Class: Sniper
- Ambiguously Brown: Has a noticeably bronze skin; darker than Nando, but nowhere near Gaufrid's level of dark. This is due to her heritage as a desert tribeswoman.
- Animal Motifs: The fox.
- Berserk Button: Do not call her sweetheart, unless you want an arrow through your skull.
- Childhood Friend: With Igrene. Unfortunately, Igrene had to part ways with her to succeed her father as the Guardian of Nabata, while Opal's clan all joined the Black Fang.
- Long-Range Fighter: Par for the course as a Sniper in Fire Emblem. What makes Opal a particularly strong case, though, is the Longbow she can be given in Pt. 1, as the Longbow has 3-5 range in Elibean Nights compared to the standard 2-3 range.
- Nature Hero: Gives off vibes of this, what with her Nabatan heritage and exotic appearance.
- Red Baron: The Shadow Fox of the Four Fangs.
- Ship Tease: With Nando, when Legault tells them they're a perfect pair.
Everett
An Ilian Hero who lost his family a long time ago, joining the Black Fang to find a new place to call home.
Class: Hero
- Animal Motifs: The snow leopard.
- Crusading Widower: Everett lost his wife, Amanda, and their son, James, some time before the start of the tale. He considers the Black Fang his new family.
- Heroes Prefer Swords: A literal case, as he is of the Hero class and only wields swords by default.
- Infinity +1 Sword: Hrunting, the blade once wielded by Lloyd, is easily capable of eating Halberdiers alive in spite of the weapon triangle disadvantage, since it deals effective damage to enemies with light armor.
- Older and Wiser: Is much older than Nando and Opal, possibly older than Legault as well, and is described as being very wise.
- Red Baron: The Snow Leopard of the Four Fangs. Appropriate given his Ilian heritage.
Dieter
A Cataphract of Bern, loyal to House Fafnir. Perhaps a bit too loyal.
Class: Cataphract
- Deconstructed Trope: The
Lawful Good alignment and the Camus archetype from the official series. When Dieter became a knight of Fafnir, he pledged his loyalty to House Fafnir, in particular Duke Galahad and Duchess Lenore. However, Galahad eventually died, and Montresor made his way back into Bern's inner circles through an arranged marriage with Lenore. Dieter knows Montresor is about as fiendish as they come, and yet, his vows of loyalty to House Fafnir prevent him from taking action against Montresor. Eventually, Legault or Vaida can coax him into performing a Heel-Face Turn; Legault even has to remind Dieter where his loyalty truly lies, namely with House Fafnir, Duchess Lenore and the late Duke Galahad, not with some madman who married his way into the family. Upon being reminded, Dieter gladly joins forces with the Black Fang. - Happily Married: Mentioned to be the new Duke of Fafnir in the closing cutscene of Ivory Flower of Light Pt. 2, implying Dieter and Lenore are now married.
- Heel–Face Turn: See Deconstructed Trope above. It should be noted, though, that Dieter is by no means evil, and in fact a very noble man.
- It's Personal: With Montresor. With his newfound resolution, as well as his love for Lenore, he vows to avenge Galahad when fighting the Ash General.
- Knight in Shining Armor: Has always wanted to be this for Lenore, his duchess. He gets the chance, as revealed in the post-battle cutscenes.
- Lady and Knight: While Dieter has always been in love with Lenore, she ends up reciprocating for real after Montresor's defeat.
- Lawful Stupid: Montresor pretty much tells Dieter that the latter is this.
- My Greatest Failure: Deeply regrets not having acted against Montresor sooner. In their conversation, Everett tells Dieter that it only took him hours to defect from Montresor, which took years for Dieter.
- The Paladin: Motif-wise, he fits the bill, although his class is Cataphract. He used to be a Paladin in the older builds due to an oversight.
- To Be Lawful or Good: The entire point of Dieter's character. He knows Montresor is an utter bastard, and yet, refuses to defect due to his knightly vows. Montresor himself outright states Dieter has always taken his knightly vows too seriously for his own good.
Montresor
The infamous Ash General, a former Wyvern General who was demoted from his position for his brutality.
Class: General
- BFS: His highest weapon rank is swords, and he wields a Kingsword, which is essentially a Brave Sword on steroids.
- The Brute: And how. Calling him a brute is putting things very, very lightly. This man earned his moniker of Ash General for a reason: He ordered for an entire village to be burned down to find a single deserter. Many innocent civilians have died to satiate this madman's bloodshed. So many lives have been taken under his rule that even King Desmond, who is quite possibly the most massive scumbag in The Blazing Blade, felt Montresor's aggression was too much, and had him succeeded by Murdock.
- Good Hair, Evil Hair: Has a light beard with a mustache and is one of the most evil and hateful bastards in the entire game.
- Hate Sink: Between his ruthlessness and the sheer scale of his brutality, Montresor has lost the respect of pretty much all of Bern, and there is nothing remotely likeable about him whatsoever. He's definitely in the running for most evil character in the game.
- He Knows Too Much: Orders for his wife Lenore to stay in a back room, since she knows the circumstances of the death of her first husband, Duke Galahad.
- Kick the Dog: Is implied to treat his wife Lenore horribly. He doesn't even love her, and their marriage was arranged by their families in order for Montresor to enter the noble circles of Bern again.
- Taking You with Me: Before battle, he orders for the Fafnir Manse to be set ablaze in an attempt to end the Black Fang once and for all. He fails; the Black Fang escape, and so do Dieter and Lenore. To add insult to injury, Dieter marries Lenore and becomes the new Duke of Fafnir.
