    Recurring Characters 

Lanfeust

The main character of the story, Lanfeust is a young blacksmith whose magic allows him to overheat and melt metal with a glare, but touching the fragment of the Magohamoth gives him unparalled magical powers.


  • Absurdly Youthful Father: Because of some time travelling misadventures, he ends up having a son who's barely younger than him.
  • Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Glin considers him this, though it's more because at the moment Lanfeust is a fish out of water on multiple levels.
  • Artifact of Power: During most of Lanfeust of Troy he needs to touch the Magohamoth's ivory fragment to unleash his powers. After meeting the Magohamoth he no longer needs the amulet.
  • Brought Down to Normal: In the first sequel series, he and Thanos are implanted with a special brain chip to keep them from using their magic. Lanfeust eventually manages to get rid of his.
  • Can't Hold His Liquor: At one point, he gets drunk after drinking a single glass of alcohol. At the beginning of Lanfeust of the Stars, Hébus implies that Lanfeust does not drink alcohol because he tends to vomit everywere when he does.
  • Chick Magnet: Quite a lot of women fall in love with him during his adventures.
  • The Chosen One: The only person in Troy who can use more than one magic power, on massive scale to boot. The other one being Thanos. Both cases because of the Dolphantes, as revealed in Lanfeus of the Stars.
  • Clear My Name: A good half of Odyssey is spent by Lanfeust trying to prove that someone made him assassinate Nicoléde by saving the only witness, a man whose power allows him to share what he saw with others.
  • Cool Sword: He always carries a sword around and knows how to use them: during his sojourn in Darshan, despite deriding the local blades as "toys", he reforges his old sword in a katana-like blade (presumably made with better forging techniques).
  • Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: After leaving the Darshanite Gods, he's attacked by the hostile one who was adverse to his presence and ends up freezing him solid in a block of ice.
  • Extra-ore-dinary: His standard power allows him to overheat metal with a glare. In the first sequel, after being told that there's iron in his blood, he can overheat his own blood to kill some parasites, while in the second one he uses his power on the planet's core to cause a tsunami and release the Magohamoth from the shallows it was struck in.
  • Flaming Sword: In Lanfeust Odyssey, he sometime uses his power to set his sword on fire.
  • Flat-Earth Atheist: When Nicolède mentions that he could take advantage of his almost-divine powers to create a religion and obtain even more strength from followers, Lanfeust answers that, since he's an atheist, he doesn't believe he can make it... while standing in front of an entire, scowling pantheon, to whom he meekly apologizes. In an act of supreme irony, his heroic fame spread during his sixteen years-long absence has manifested a Lanfeust God amongst the Darshanite pantheon.
  • Good Is Not Soft: He's the hero: the first volume alone has him using his powers to messily wipe out a small army of marauders, and while he doesn't really go out of his way to be a dick, you really shouldn't make him angry.
  • The Hero: He's the main character across the trilogy.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Hébus the Troll, making it an Interspecies Friendship.
  • Locked into Strangeness: In a way, in Of the Stars we learn that Lanfeust' black hairlocks in his otherwise blonde head are a result of having been marked by the Dolphantes.
  • Mr. Fanservice: He's rather good-looking and several women found him hot.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: He becomes genuinely distressed when he realizes that he has been forced to assassinate Nicolède in front of an entire crowd.
  • Playing with Fire: His metal heating power can be used to set metal on fire.
  • Polyamory: In Lanfeust Odyssey, he ends up having to marry four widowed ladies (married to the local equivalent of a Sheik) to keep them from being executed. While it starts off as a pragmatic choice, he ends up growing attached to them and them to him.
  • Roaring Rampage of Revenge: In Odyssey, when he believes that Hébus has been murdered by the villagers of a fishing hamlet. He doesn't kill them, though he later shows no remorse in causing a tsunami that may as well destroy their village.
  • Sex God: Implied in Stars by Cixi, though she could have been trolling Thanos.
  • Super-Empowering: When he has the absolute power, he can allow other people to tap into his magic to enhance their own magical power.
  • Younger Than They Look: He's in his mid-teens at the beginning of the story, but he looks like he's in his twenties.

Hébus

A massive red-haired Troll, he starts off wild and ferocious as all the members of his species, but he's put under an enchantment by Nicolède and turned into a party member. He gradually grows more and more attached to the heroes to the point of becoming permanently civilized, if inclined to extreme violence.


  • All Trolls Are Different: Hébus starts out as a standard exponent of Trollkind, being massive, red-furred, violent and prone to east everything and avoid water like plague. As the series proceeds, he becomes more and more civilized and multi-faceted, to the point that upon meeting other Trolls in Odyssey they remark he's too human-like.
  • Auto Cannibalism: At one point, he decides to sample chunks of himself and Lanfeust's flesh after they were mutilated and regenerated: he thinks Lanfeust's so so, but finds himself to taste delicious.
  • Big Eater: As with all Trolls, Hébus is voracious and will try pretty much everything, from standard food to animals to decomposing eyeballs to his own gouged out chunks of flesh.
  • Bigger Is Better in Bed: He's apparently well-endowed, as the Darshanite Goddess of Love can attest.
  • Boisterous Bruiser: Hébus's greatest strength, though he gradually evolves into a Genius Bruiser as the series goes on.
  • The Butcher: He gains this moniker as Thanos' right hand man in Stars.
  • Cannot Cross Running Water: Parodied, as with all Trolls he's afraid of water: it could make him clean!
  • Carry a Big Stick: His weapon, ranging from part of an uprooted tree to a massive, rusty wrench.
  • Disney Death: In Odyssey, some distrustful fishermen cut his throat while he's asleep and he falls into the sea. He's believed to have died by the heroes, but the intervention of an octopus saved his life.
  • Dumbass No More: In Odyssey, being taught how to read and working in a library greatly enhance his acumen, to the point that he manages to fake being braiwashed by Lylth without her realizing and starts up a plan against her.
  • Fiery Redhead: He's entirely covered in red fur and is a man... well, Troll of action.
  • Forced into Evil: Thanos enchants him in Stars, forcing him to work under him. He noticeably doesn't enjoy the situation, but has to obey.
  • Genius Bruiser: Trolls are supposed to be Dumb Muscles, but he sometimes shows traits of intelligence not usually seen from other trolls, all while still being a strong fighter like his peers.
    • When the heroes are attacked by bandits, Hébus pretends to die after taking a few arrows in the back. Then he gets up for a surprise attack and slaughter the thugs. When Cixi angrily asks him why he pretended to be killed, he points out that if he hadn't done it, the bandits would have shot arrows until every hero got killed for real, himself included, since his Super-Toughness does not make him outright invincible.
    • He spends two days observing the surroundings of Thanos's pirate base where Nicolède and C'ian have been taken prisoner so he can launch a strategic assault. Any other troll would have blindly rushed to attack the moment the water was low enough to access the pirates' lair.
    • He quickly learns how to operate a spaceship despite coming from a planet with medieval-level technologies. This allows him to take part in space battles.
  • Instant Expert:
    • He instantly knows how to operate a spaceship after trying it once.
    • It only takes him a few hours to learn how to read.
  • Interspecies Friendship: Best seen with Lanfeust, but also with the rest of his companions, growing from a brainwashed beast to a genuine case of True Companions.
  • Not Brainwashed: After being blessed by the Darshanite Goddess of Love, he can stay civilized without being enchanted. He also fakes being hypnotized by Lylth in Odyssey, though he admits he can't understand if it's because of Lylth's spell not working on Trolls or because of his already-existing enchantment.
  • The Pigpen: He avoids water at all costs and cherish all his fleas and flies, getting angry at all those who try to harm them.
  • Punny Name: Adding Troll makes his name sound like "Trolley Bus".
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: Early on, he had red eyes when not enchanted, to signify his wild nature.
  • Slashed Throat: By the villagers in Odyssey. He nearly dies of it, only surviving due to an octopus clinging to the wound and closing it.
  • Verbal Tic:
    • Whenever he's surprised, he yells "Gottferdom".
    • He has an iconic "Huk huk huk" laugh, which he mostly does when he feels sadistic.
  • Wrench Whack: Early in Lanfeust of the Stars, he buys a huge wrench to use as a blunt weapon.

Nicolède

A great Sage, father of Cixi and Ci'an, he joins Lanfeust and his daughters in the quest to find the Magohamoth. Being a Sage, he doesn't have any magic on his own, but can allow others to use theirs.


  • Absent-Minded Professor: C'ian claims he often buries himself into work that he forgets to take care of himself, this includes things like eating.
  • Men Can't Keep House: According to C'ian he's quite messy if left to his own devices.
  • Not So Above It All: He appears to be a serious wise old sage. But in one book, C'ian reveals that the silly dance he does during enchantment rituals is completely useless. He just does it for fun.
  • The Smart Guy: As an old and wise sage, he's usually the voice of reason whenever he's around.
  • The Ugly Guy's Hot Daughter: He's a fairly unattractive old guy who's the father of two very attractive young women.

Or'Azur

A noble knight from the Baronies who accidentally kickstarts the whole story when he asks Lanfeust to repair his sword, which contains an ivory fragment of the Magohamoth in the pommel. He later joins the group, having fallen for C'ian.


  • Ancestral Weapon: The sword of the Or'Azur clan has an ivory fragment from the Magohamoth embedded in the hilt. There's also an ancestral shield, narrating how the ancestor found the Magohamoth.
  • Character Development: Goes from being a pompous, arrogant twit to a genuinely heroic knight who can actually act on his reputation.
  • Lady and Knight: During his second appearence he appears to be smitten by C'ian and tries to court her. He eventually wins her over.
  • Miles Gloriosus: When he first appears, his overconfidence vastly surpasses his practical experience.

  • Double Standard: In-Universe invoked when Lanfeust points out that she's extremely jealous of any woman coming near him while she flirts with every male she meets. According to her, "for girls is merely sexual", while for boys "is more romantic, so it's cheating".

  • Shameless Fanservice Girl: She doesn't care much for modesty, and even tricks Lanfeust into walking into her naked just to make her sister jealous.
  • Stripperiffic: Her standard outfit consists of a bikini top paired with a very short skirt and some shoes.
  • The Tease: She takes great pleasure in teasing Lanfeust with her body. She's even introduced walking ub on him bathing, using her powers to evaporate the water and making a point to ogle him, teasing him about his "reaction" towards her and then throwing cold water on him to "cool him off".
  • Took a Level in Badass: Early in the story, she didn't really participate in the action except for when her power to freeze water was useful. Eventually, she leaves Lanfeust group and pretends to join Thanos's side so she can protect Eckmul by herself. In the process, she learns how to fight and becomes a vigilante.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: After the Time Skip in Stars she's considerably more mature and controlled.

Thanos

An evil pirate lord who serves the cruel Baron Averroes, he's a despicable power-hungry man and the main antagonist of the story. He can teleport himself (and only himself) in any place he can remember, but later shows to have the same powers as Lanfeust.


  • Ax-Crazy: Especially in Stars, when he starts taking the drug known as Toxine, which causes bouts of homicidal rage as part of its side effects.
  • Bad Boss: He treats everyone under his command badly, and don't think that being his lover will get you anywhere, as both Cixi and Glace could attest.
  • Big Bad: Of Troy, while in the sequel he waves between being The Dragon and being a Big Bad Wannabe. He eventually hijacks Dheluu's body and becomes the Final Boss.
  • Card-Carrying Villain: Thanos is very proud of being a horrible human being.
    Lanfeust: You're no more than a pirate, a murderer and a degenerate!
    Thanos: Thanks, but flattery will get you nowhere.
  • Brought Down to Normal: As with Lanfeust, in Stars he gets a brain chip which shuts off his magic powers.
  • Cold-Blooded Torture: Inflicts this on Lanfeust himself and to pretty much anyone unfortunate enough to fall into his clutches.
  • The Corrupter: In Troy, when Cixi tries to work her way into his court, he forces her to use her magic to kill his own brother. In Stars he corrupts and twists Cixi's son Glin, through usage of Breaking Speech, booze, hookers and drugs. Unlike Cixi, Glin falls so much that he becomes the Man Behind the Man for Lylth in Odyssey.
  • The Dragon: He's this for Baron Averroe who's himself in a suit of armor and in Stars he becomes one for Prince Dheluu.
  • Evil Counterpart: To Lanfeust, as both have the unique power to use all magic, but while Lanfeust, for all his faults, is a good guy at heart, Thanos is a remorseless monster.
  • Evil Overlord: When he takes over Eckmul in Troy and rules it with an iron fist, mercenary guards and fascist laws.
  • Eye Scream: Gouges out Lanfeust's eyes, but also ends up losing his right eye, which Prince Dheluu replaces with a living artificial one.
  • Full-Frontal Assault: His teleportation powers works only on himself: whenever he reappears, he's stark naked.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: In Stars, he merges with his living ship and makes it evolve in a giant, nigh-unstoppable diamond mantis, but his hubris push him to evolve even further...unfortunately, the evolution of the monster he merged with is cyclical and he goes from giant diamond Kaiju to a tiny fat worm.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: When torturing Lanfeust, he mentions he can't stand one-eyed people. He ends up losing an eye in of the Stars.
  • Malicious Misnaming: He often calls Lanfeust by degrading names. In Lanfeust of the Stars, he almost exclusively calls Lanfeust a woodlouse.
  • Meaningful Name: He's a sadist who takes pleasure in killing people, and his name comes from "Thanatos", the personification of Death in Greek mythology.
  • Nightmare Face: In Stars, where over usage of his powers (and possibly drug effects) leaves him with a horribly shriveled, demonic visage.
  • Sadist: He greatly enjoys other's suffering. To cite a few examples, he tortured Lanfeust at lenght and forced Cixi to kill his own brother Bascrean by boiling his blood.
  • Shout-Out: His outfit in Stars makes him a dead-ringer of The Punisher. Also, after taking over Dheluu's body, he briefly shapeshifts into a xenomorph and Darth Vader before taking his real form.
  • Torture Technician: He boasts about his ability to torture people for hours without killing them and immediatly demonstrates his talents on Lanfeust.
  • Undignified Death: He accidentally turns into a pitiful white maggot and is easily squashed by Lanfeust as the disgusting vermin he is.
  • Unholy Matrimony: In Troy he takes Cixi as his concubine during his domain over Eckmul, though she's actually plotting against him the whole time. In Stars he ends up with Glace, though the latter is tragically aware that she has fallen in love with a monster.
  • Villain Teleportation: His basic power allows him to teleport everywhere he can remember in an istant, but the teleportation doesn't extend to his clothes or anything he's holding/carrying.
  • White Hair, Black Heart: Has pale white hair and is one of the vilest characters in the story.

The Magohamoth

A legendary creature of Troy, shrouded in mystery. It is said to be the source of all magic in the world, and a single fragment from its body allows Lanfeust to master all magic.


  • Thou Shall Not Kill: Even in danger of death, the Magohamoth refuses to use its own magic to hurt others.
  • Top God: Discussed but not played straight. Darshanide people refer to the Magohamoth as the "Master of gods", even though it's not related to the Darshanide gods. The Magohamoth is an actual biological creature who is the source of all magic in Troy, while Darshanide gods are magical divine beings who exist through the belief of the Darshanide people. Even if the Magohamoth's magic is necessary for the Darshanide gods to become real through the beliefs of their followers, the Magohamoth has no authority over them.
  • Turtle Island: The island where the Magohamoth is located actually is the Magohamoth itself.

Bascrean

One of the Sages of Eckmul, he also happens to be Thanos' brother.


  • Good is Not Nice: He cares about the well being of the people of Eckmul, but he's a condesending jerk to absolutely everyone. He can also take extreme measures for the sake of Eckmul's protection.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: When he sees that Lanfeust is sensitive to the Magohamoth's magic and can gain absolute power, he wants Lanfeust to be killed. Though he's only doing this out of paranoia, as he thinks that Lanfeust can be a danger for the world by becoming a tyrant if he were to achieve absolute power.

The Haruspex

A soothsayer from Eckmul who can read the future in intestines. The bigger the better.


  • Bloody Hilarious: Most of his readings involves morbid jokes with intestines, such as having him dive into a massive pile of gore resulting from Lanfeust's drunken attempt at summoning a dragon, or reading a still-living guard's innards and then ordering his men to put them back in and sew him up.
  • La Résistance: He joins the rebels against Thanos' regime.
  • Verbal Tic: He tends say something, then add a "Kalaxa-X", where "X" is a made-up word rhyming with the last word he said in the previous sentence.

  • Evil Overlord: He gradually shapes into one as the story proceeds. By the time Cixi openly rebels, he embraces this role.

The Salt Lotus

A crew of female pirates who take in Cixi during the Time Skip


  • Action Girl: They're all capable female fighters.
  • Amazon Brigade: The Salt Lotus pirates are an all-female crew of pirates, many who were mistreated by men in the past.
  • Body-Count Competition: The girls have a competition of how many sailors each has killed amongst themselves.
  • Butch Lesbian: Somen is a lesbian Pirate Girl just like the others, but is the manliest and roughest of the crew. She's notably portrayed as the least sympathetic due to her rivalry and dislike of Cixi.
  • The Captain: Oyano is the captain and leader of the girls, though she's not particularly formal and usually allows the girls to refer to her by name.
  • Color Motif: All of their clothes have a black and red color motif, with the exception of The Captain who wears a white kimono.
  • Does Not Like Men: They're all fairly ruthless when it comes to men since many of them used to be Sex Slave for male lords or worse.
  • Eyepatch of Power: Somen gets hit in the eye by an arrow during a patrol raid and starts wearing an eyepatch from that point forward, which fits her aggressive personality.

  • Pirate Girl: All of them work as ruthless female pirates, enjoying the freedom at sea they couldn't have on land.
  • The Rival: Somen becomes one to Cixi, due to being jealous of how quickly Cixi became popular with the rest of the crew, and constantly plots to get her killed.
  • Sex Goddess: Captain Oyano is famous around the crew for her bedroom prowess, to the point sharing her bed is seen as a great reward. When it's Cixi's turn to be rewarded, the scene cuts away to the ship as her loud cries echo through the ocean.
  • Wounded Gazelle Gambit: They're not above pretending they're helpless girls in order to lure their targets into traps.
