!!Tigrevurmud Vorn
->Voiced by: Creator/KaitoIshikawa (Japanese), Creator/JoelMcDonald (English)
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/01_tigre_3876.jpg
The protagonist of ''Madan no Ou to Vanadis''. Tigre is the earl of Alsace, a tiny idyllic earldom on the Zhcted border, far from court intrigues or wealthy commercial region. And Tigre likes it that way. With few responsibilities, Tigre is free to pursue his love of hunting and sleeping in late... until the border levies are summoned.
After his army's defeat by Zhcted's Vanadis Eleonora Viltaria, Tigre becomes her first ever prisoner of war after impressing her. He refuses her every attempt at recruitment, until Duke Thenardier launches an attack on Alsace as the opening move in Brune's civil war. To defend his home, Tigre ''hires'' Elen and her army as mercenaries, and soundly defeats Thenardier. Together with other petty nobles, Tigre forms the Silver Meteor Army, which he leads to victory over both other factions of the civil war, as well as an invading army. During the course of the war Tigre develops into an excellent general, wins the admiration of enemies and allies alike, discovers Brune's secret heir, kills several dragons, fights off a demon, and discovers his AncestralWeapon has a secret destructive power linked to the goddess of death.
On the return home from Asvarre, Tigre ends up lost-at-sea during a fight with Torbalan, but is found by the Vanadis, Liza; having lost his memories, and becomes her servant.
-----
* AccidentalPervert: Tigre's hands seem to be magnets for [[ThanksForTheMammary women's chests]].
* AmnesiacDissonance: This happens to Tigre during [[spoiler:Volumes 8 to 10]] as he lives in [[spoiler:Lebus]] as the youth Urz under [[spoiler:Elizavetta's]] service. He grows to care for her and his life in [[spoiler:Lebus]], and even as his memories as Tigre begin to resurface he remains uncertain if he wants to regain his old identity.
* AmnesiacHero: [[spoiler: Tigre after the events in Volume 7 until the conclusion of Volume 10.]]
* AncestralWeapon: The black bow of the Vorn family which is currently in Tigre's possession.
* TheArcher: Tigre's a preternaturally skilled marksman. Maybe too much so, he's hopeless with melee weapons.
* ArrowCatch: Tigre ''nonchalantly'' catches an arrow aimed at Teita's head then [[{{CatchAndReturn}} fires it back.]] Still hurts him though.
* BerserkButton: Threatening Titta or Alsace. Later expands to seeing soldiers engage in any form of injustice.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He’s one of the friendliest people and a respected lord in Alsace. But if you push him far enough (like killing slaves, innocent children, or harm his homeland), he will be prepared to shoot an arrow right through your head.
* BigDamnHeroes: Tigre pulls this trope off almost OnceAnEpisode:
** In Volume 1, he arrives at Alsace in time to stop Zion’s AttemptedRape on Titta and his invasion of Alsace.
** In Volume 2, he saves Mila from the last Serrash assassin during Elen’s battle in Olmutz.
** In Volume 3, he helps stop Roland from killing Elen and Sofy.
* TheBigDamnKiss: [[spoiler:With Elen towards the end of Volume 13.]]
* BiggerIsBetterInBed: Implied, as a gag.
* CallForward: During his spying on Mila in Volume 2, he takes on his father’s name Urs. [[spoiler:He uses this name when he temporarily loses his memory six volumes later]].
* ChickMagnet: Tigre, however the romance aspect of the series isn't brought up as much as the focus of the series is more on the wars than any ShipTease.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: With Titta and Regin.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Regin. They met during their excursions outside their homes when they were young.
* CripplingOverspecialization: While his use of the bow is legendary, if anyone or anything gets into melee range, he's completely helpless. Sure, he can use a hunting knife, but only on something he's already killed.
* TheDragonslayer: In the past, Tigre killed an Earth Dragon with just a bow. Manages to down a couple during the Brune civil war as well.
* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: The black bow can fire arrows that can pierce through anything: armor, city gates, magic resistance, dragons, entire cities... However, the technique exhausts Tigre. A predecessor who used the bow to destroy a city ended up ''dying'' because he used his life to fire the shot.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: ''Every shot he makes'' hits, he's so good. The black bow adds explosions to those hits.
* {{Expy}}: [[WordOfGod Tsukasa Kawaguchi]] incorporated elements of the mythical archers Myth/RobinHood and Nasu no Yoichi when creating the character.
* ForegoneConclusion: Tigre having relationships with all of the war maidens was a given, since this is what the story revolves around.
* FourStarBadass: He is a Brunish count and an army commander. It was Tigre who led the Silver Meteor Army against Ganelon and Thenardier and later, [[spoiler:the Moonlight Knights against Melisande, Greast and Kureys]].
* GoodIsNotSoft: Tigre is an unstoppable force in combat.
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: [[InvertedTrope Nope.]] Tigre, fights exclusively with a bow, and the Vanadis fight exclusively with their array of close combat weapons.
* HappinessInSlavery: Well, prisoner of war, but Tigre does enjoy considerable perks as Elen's prisoner.
* HeavySleeper: So much so. This combined with his ThanksForTheMammaries tendencies is mainly responsible for his AccidentalPervert status.
%% * TheHero
* HeroesPreferSwords: [[AvertedTrope Nope]]. Tigre exclusively uses a bow in battle, and has no skill with other weapons.
* HeroicBSOD: In the series, Tigre has two of these, both of which border on DespairEventHorizon.
** Tigre goes through a brief one in Volume 5, mourning the loss of his surrogate father. Elen helps him get over it before the FinalBattle with Thenardier.
** In Volume 13, Tigre gets hit with this ‘’again’’ when [[spoiler:he feels that he was unable to save Elen from being captured by Greast. He goes off alone to rescue Elen, but Mila helps him snap out of it]].
* HorseArcher: Despite being a commander of the Silver Meteor Army, he's often on horseback and fighting with his bow.
* HumbleHero: Despite all his accomplishments, he'd rather live peacefully in Alsace. King Victor calls him out by observing that people looking at his accomplishments are more likely to assume he's playing up the humility as a PR move.
* IGaveMyWord: At the end of Volume 2, he kills the last Serrash assassin attempting to kill Ludmila as thanks for the tea.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: Tigre ''will'' hit his target, no matter what. Even if he's using a flimsy bow he's only ever shot twice before.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: Tigre having amnesia throughout volumes 8 through 10.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: With Titta, despite Titta wanting more.
* LongRangeFighter: Due to only using a bow to fight.
* ItsPersonal: Tigre and Duke Thenardier's duel. Tigre's out to avenge Alsace and the killing of Bertrand, while Duke Thenardier wants revenge for his son and his closest aide.
* MageMarksman: With the Black Bow, sometimes with help from a Dragonic Tool.
* MeaningfulName: Vorn, his last name, means “front” in German. Tigre is Spanish, Italian ‘’and’’ French for “tiger.”
* MistressAndServantBoy: Basically the servant to Elen's mistress. He then later becomes this to Liza as well.
* MyGreatestFailure:
** In Volume 5, he is unable to save Bertrand from being killed by Thenardier and temporarily suffers a HeroicBSOD.
** In Volume 13, his failure to prevent Elen’s capture by Greast leads to him attempting to rescue her on his own. Luckily for him, Mila snaps him out of his funk and joins him]].
* NiceGuy: Tigre's benevolence and generosity is the reason for his popularity with his people.
* OceanAwe: Tigre never seems much interested in seeing the ocean before Volume 6 and is struck speechless for a half hour after.
* OddFriendship: Minor rural lords do not befriend seven of the most powerful women in the world.
** Quite a few of his friendships are quite odd, particularly Ryurik and Damad. The latter even was specifically ordered to kill Tigre.
* OutdoorBathPeeping: How Tigre first met Sophia. It was an accident. So was catching Tina naked.
* [[OutsideContextVillain Outside Context Hero]]: Not only does Tigre's superlative archery skills allow him to make impossible shots, he also hails from a country known for its contempt of the bow as a weapon. Thus he blindsides a lot of enemies and manages to kill a lot of commanders by sniping them from what they believe to be a safe distance.
* PayEvilUntoEvil: Tigre kills Zion in Volume 1 for invading Alsace and he later does the same to Kasim in Volume 4 for killing innocent slaves.
%% * RedHeadedHero
%% ** RedIsHeroic
* ShowyInvincibleHero: For the vast majority of the story, the entertainment value wasn't about ''if'' he'll win the battle, but in ''how.'' Then [[spoiler:the end of Volume 12 came along]].
* SleepCute: Many of the female characters find his sleeping face cute.
* SoleSurvivor: In Volume 1, Tigre appears to be the only survivor to survive Elen’s assault on Dinant; most of his allies are dead and/or have escaped, and Tigre himself was PlayingPossum after he was knocked down.
* SpannerInTheWorks: He has repeatedly put a wrench in villains’ plans and helped others in their darkest hours just from the fact that the villains underestimate his skills and prowess in battle.
* StormingTheCastle: He and Elen led the assault on the Tatra Mountains in Volume 2.
* ThanksForTheMammaries: Tigre's modus operandi of {{accidental pervert}}hood.
* UnwantedHarem: While he remains mostly oblivious to the fact, he's developed quite a circle around himself with Elen, Titta, Mila, Sophie, Liza, Olga, Lim and Regin, all showing interest, and it just keeps growing as even [[TokenEvilTeammate Tina]] is starting to show sincere interest in volume 11.
* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard not to give away that Tigre [[spoiler:ends up with amnesia]] since it's the basis of almost three entire light novels.
* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: The question on the lips of many people after Elen takes him prisoner (since she just kills people rather than bother) and goes to war for him. [[spoiler:The answer is that he's the first male to match her in any of the arts of war since she became a Vanadis.]]
* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: Tigre's only real skill is archery. He solves a surprising number of problems by shooting something.
* WillTheyOrWontThey: With Elen. To a lesser extent with his other {{love interest}}s.[[spoiler: they do at volume 13]]

Tigre's late father, and the previous owner of the Vorn estate in Alsace.
Urs is often mentioned amongst his living friends such as Bertran and Marthus as a means to help Tigre grow into a person as strong as his father was.

----
* PassingTheTorch: From Urs to Tigre when it comes to safeguarding Alsace.
* PosthumousCharacter: Died long before the story started, but his character is brought up several times as a means to help develop Tigre into a man as great as he once was, and to show that Tigre once had a great connection with him.

[[folder:Brune Nobility]]
!!King Faron Soleil Rauy Blainville de Charles
->Voiced by: Creator/TakehitoKoyasu (Japanese), Creator/JasonDouglas (English)
The king of Brune.
The death of Faron's son at the Battle of Dinant took a huge toll on his sanity; reducing his mind to that of a sick, 5-year-old, child. As a result, he stays locked in his throne room, and stays out of the political affairs going on outside. To which Thenardier and Ganelon claim themselves as "temporary" leaders of Brune.
----
* BigGood: He is this for the first arc until Regin takes over towards the end of Volume 5.
* CharacterDeath: He dies near the end of Volume 5. It is implied heavily that someone, Ganelon being the most logical guess, had been slowly poisoning him to death over the course of the story.
* DespairEventHorizon: The death of his only child caused him to retreat into seclusion. At least, that's the story...
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Faron being unable to stop Ganelon or Thenardier from gaining power due to his poisoning, as well as indirectly allowing Zhcted to attack Brune when he summoned 25,000 troops at the Dinant Plains, kind of resembles what the British Prime Minister UsefulNotes/NevilleChamberlain did when UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler rose to power in Germany before UsefulNotes/WorldWarII.
* TheGoodKing: He serves as the wise King of Brune for most of the first arc [[spoiler:until his death in volume 5]].

* HeroicBSOD: All he can do is isolate himself in his bedroom when his heir seemingly dies at Dinant.
* MinorMajorCharacter: Despite his role as King of Brune, Faron only appears in the first and fifth volumes.
* MeaningfulName: Faron means a “good-looking servant” in Old English and Soleil means sun in French.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: His sickness at the hands of Ganelon allowed the dispute between Ganelon and Thenardier to go virtually unchecked and Zhcted declaring war on Brune.
* OlderThanTheyLook: When he meets Tigre and company, he is described to be old and wrinkly despite his youth.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He tries to help with serious situations, such as when he dispatches Regnas, Tigre and his allies to fight Zhcted in the Dinant Plains, but it does little good in deescalating the dispute between Ganelon and Thenardier.
* TamperingWithFoodAndDrink: Ganelon's been poisoning him, possibly for years. That's the real reason he's disappeared from public view.
* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: He dies after the Brune civil war. For a monarch who suffered the trauma of losing his only heir to Ganelon’s poisoning, he was a kind-hearted man who ruled Brune with justice.

The daughter of King Faron of Brune who took on the name Regnas and posed as a boy for her mother’s sake because of the scorn she might receive if the heir was a girl.
Forced to escape a group of assassins during Elen’s assault in the Dinant Plains, Regnas goes into exile in Agnes under her true name. During Brune's Civil War, she is eventually discovered by Tigre in Agnes during Muozinel’s invasion.

* MeaningfulName: Regin is named after Reginn, the dwarf smith of Norse mythology. It also means “ruler’s advisor” in Latin.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Her FakingTheDead in the Dinant Plains helps plant the seeds for Brune’s civil war. It’s not entirely her fault, however; if she had revealed her true identity, things may have turned out different and Thenardier and Ganelon would have gone on with their plans.
* WalkingSpoiler: As you can see, it's just hard to discuss her without mentioning a huge twist occurring in Volume 4.

* DirtyCoward: Despite having not one, but two dragons, and an army twice that of Tigre's he fled Alsace the moment he met any actual resistance.
* [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas Even Bad Men Love Their Papas]]: He clearly loves his father despite being a {{Jerkass}} to everyone.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He may be the son of an aristocrat and a merciless soldier, but he draws the line at attacking temples because he knows that if they do so, all of Brune’s temples will turn on him.

* GoodColorsEvilColors: He wears pink and red, indicating his evil nature.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Decries Tigre for being captured by Elen, proclaiming Tigre should have fought until his weapon broke instead of trying to run away.

Never mind using archers on Tigre despite condemning Tigre's use of a hunting bow at the start of the story.

* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: He wears red and pink armor, has black hair and is a villain.
* StarterVillain: He is this for the first saga, and the entire series in general.

After Volume 12, Melisande is dead, which means that House Thenardier is no more and it ironically leaves Regin the last surviving member of the Brunish nobility descended from Charles.]]
* MeaningfulName: Melisande is named after the character of the same name from the stage play ‘’Pelleas and Melisande’’ by Maurice Maeterlinck, as well as the compositions of the same name by Arnold Schoenberg and Music/ClaudeDebussy.
* MoralMyopia: She's no stranger to Thernadier's methods, and history, yet sees nothing wrong with any of it, including the attempted razing of Alsace. Yet, when Tigre kills him in a duel, demanded by Thernadier himself, no less, which, under Thernadier's own laws, makes Tigre, the rightful successor, she considers it an unforgivable crime, and swears vengeance, starting with open rebellion and treason against the rightful Queen, by blood.

The wielder of the Dragonic scythe of shadow, Ezendeis, and the lord of the Osterode territory in the Zhcted Kingdom.
The most mysterious of the Vanadis, Tina is the type that shows a sweet, gentle, smile on the outside, but is actually cunning and manipulative on the inside. In addition, Tina has within her the royal blood of the Zhcted nobility, and will go to any length to make her wish to become the queen of Zhcted a reality. Her ambition prompts her to initiate, and put down, a civil war in the Zhcted Kingdom in an attempt to raise her reputation, and status, for when the time comes to take the throne for herself.
----
* AffablyEvil: Unlike most of the [[BigBad Big Bads]], Tina is a NobleDemon who just wants to become the queen of Zhcted.

* FreudianExcuse: Her territory is in straits very similar to Alsace back at the beginning of the story. Unlike Tigrevormund Vorn, however, she can't simply go round up an army and attack the threat directly for several reasons, the most prominent of which is that the King of Zhcted is silently in collusion with those that want to bring harm to her people and seize her territory, out of greed and jealousy, and she knows it. She's faking illness to avoid being sent on a UriahGambit because she's well aware of the king's near paranoid fear of the Vanadis, and their power, her territory becoming too prosperous for the king's taste, and her neighbors hasn't helped. Becoming the High Queen is basically her only option to protect her people.
* FreudianThreat: Does this to Tigre in Volume 11 with her scythe, after ''she'' walked in on ''him'' while he was bathing in a river.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: All the nasty things she's done in the series have been done purely for the sake of keeping her people safe. She not only loves them dearly, but is loved by them in turn.
* LightIsNotGood: She wears light-colored clothes but she is a cunning war maiden.
* ManipulativeBitch: Tina is willingly to do anything to become queen...anything.

Glinka is a Polish and Slavic name and Estes is derived from the Old English term which means “of the East.” Tina lives in Zhcted, which is in the eastern lands of Europe.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Her nickname, the Illusory Princess of the Hollow Shadow, is a scary name.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Tina's FakeDefector plot in Volume 11 ends up causing Brune to brand Tigre as a “traitor” by Brune’s nobility again.
* NobleDemon: She does have a code of honor, given that she is a war maiden and is well loved in her native Osterode.
* NomDeGuerre: She is known as the Illusory Princess of the Hollow Shadow.
* PurpleIsPowerful: Her eyes are colored purple, appropriately enough given that she is the war maiden of Osterode.
* RapunzelHair: She has long, waist length hair.
* SinisterScythe: Tina's Dragonic Tool, Ezendais.
* SmartPeoplePlayChess: The anime has her sitting at a chess table playing a game against an unseen opponent in the opening.
* SmugSuper: When she shows her true face.
* SomethingAboutARose: Tina has different colored roses: a white one on her head, a purple rose on her waist and several red roses on her uniform and shoes.
* TeleportSpam: Unlike the other Vanadis, Tina is able to teleport to wherever she wants and doesn't get tired from it.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Compared to her fellow Vanadis, her actions have been the most dark and troublesome.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom:
** In Volume 6, Tina sends Tigre out to Asvarre to end a civil war there along with Sofya and Olga, inadvertently causing Tigre to lose his bow and his memory after being attacked by Torbalan, and Liza to discover him.
** During Volume 11, her FakeDefector plot during the Sachstein invasion causes Tigre to be branded as a traitor ‘’again’’ and indirectly leads to the insurgency in Brune. [[SarcasmMode Good work there]].
* WeComeInPeaceShootToKill: Discussed. She offers this to Elen and Tigre to help defeat their mutual enemy. She is turned down.

They are divided into two factions based on their intention towards Tigre and the black bow: half want him dead, the other half want him alive and captured.
Several have already perished at the hands of one another or the Vanadis.

A fortuneteller, and one of Duke Thenardier's most loyal subordinates.
Drekavac is the key as to why Thenardier's army is so overwhelmingly powerful; training several types of dragons to make up the the firepower of Thenardier's forces. He also seems to have knowledge regarding the black bow that is currently in Tigre's possession.

* DevilInDisguise: A frog demon that disguises himself as a human.
* TheDragon: While he ''does'' technically work under Thenardier, he's Drekavac's right-hand man.
* OverlyLongTongue: Being a frog demon, this is a given.
* PragmaticAdaptation: The anime skips over his fight with Tigre and Mira. However, when you look at it from the anime's perspective, which will only be adapting the Brune arc, Vodyanoy's fight would have felt completely out of place as the demon lore only starts to expand further out after the Brune civil war concludes.

!Kingdom of Brune
Tigre's home country.
[[folder:Alsace]]
!!Tigrevurmud Vorn
->Voiced by: Creator/KaitoIshikawa (Japanese), Creator/JoelMcDonald (English)
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/01_tigre_3876.jpg
The protagonist of ''Madan no Ou to Vanadis''. Tigre is the earl of Alsace, a tiny idyllic earldom on the Zhcted border, far from court intrigues or wealthy commercial region. And Tigre likes it that way. With few responsibilities, Tigre is free to pursue his love of hunting and sleeping in late... until the border levies are summoned.
After his army's defeat by Zhcted's Vanadis Eleonora Viltaria, Tigre becomes her first ever prisoner of war after impressing her. He refuses her every attempt at recruitment, until Duke Thenardier launches an attack on Alsace as the opening move in Brune's civil war. To defend his home, Tigre ''hires'' Elen and her army as mercenaries, and soundly defeats Thenardier. Together with other petty nobles, Tigre forms the Silver Meteor Army, which he leads to victory over both other factions of the civil war, as well as an invading army. During the course of the war Tigre develops into an excellent general, wins the admiration of enemies and allies alike, discovers Brune's secret heir, kills several dragons, fights off a demon, and discovers his AncestralWeapon has a secret destructive power linked to the goddess of death.
On the return home from Asvarre, Tigre ends up lost-at-sea during a fight with Torbalan, but is found by the Vanadis, Liza; having lost his memories, and becomes her servant.
-----
* AccidentalPervert: Tigre's hands seem to be magnets for [[ThanksForTheMammary women's chests]].
* AmnesiacDissonance: This happens to Tigre during [[spoiler:Volumes 8 to 10]] as he lives in [[spoiler:Lebus]] as the youth Urz under [[spoiler:Elizavetta's]] service. He grows to care for her and his life in [[spoiler:Lebus]], and even as his memories as Tigre begin to resurface he remains uncertain if he wants to regain his old identity.
* AmnesiacHero: [[spoiler: Tigre after the events in Volume 7 until the conclusion of Volume 10.]]
* AncestralWeapon: The black bow of the Vorn family which is currently in Tigre's possession.
* TheArcher: Tigre's a preternaturally skilled marksman. Maybe too much so, he's hopeless with melee weapons.
* ArrowCatch: Tigre ''nonchalantly'' catches an arrow aimed at Teita's head then [[{{CatchAndReturn}} fires it back.]] Still hurts him though.
* BerserkButton: Threatening Titta or Alsace. Later expands to seeing soldiers engage in any form of injustice.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He’s one of the friendliest people and a respected lord in Alsace. But if you push him far enough (like killing slaves, innocent children, or harm his homeland), he will be prepared to shoot an arrow right through your head.
* BigDamnHeroes: Tigre pulls this trope off almost OnceAnEpisode:
** In Volume 1, he arrives at Alsace in time to stop Zion’s AttemptedRape on Titta and his invasion of Alsace.
** In Volume 2, he saves Mila from the last Serrash assassin during Elen’s battle in Olmutz.
** In Volume 3, he helps stop Roland from killing Elen and Sofy.
* TheBigDamnKiss: [[spoiler:With Elen towards the end of Volume 13.]]
* BiggerIsBetterInBed: Implied, as a gag.
* CallForward: During his spying on Mila in Volume 2, he takes on his father’s name Urs. [[spoiler:He uses this name when he temporarily loses his memory six volumes later]].
* ChickMagnet: Tigre, however the romance aspect of the series isn't brought up as much as the focus of the series is more on the wars than any ShipTease.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: With Titta and Regin.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Regin. They met during their excursions outside their homes when they were young.
* CripplingOverspecialization: While his use of the bow is legendary, if anyone or anything gets into melee range, he's completely helpless. Sure, he can use a hunting knife, but only on something he's already killed.
* TheDragonslayer: In the past, Tigre killed an Earth Dragon with just a bow. Manages to down a couple during the Brune civil war as well.
* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: The black bow can fire arrows that can pierce through anything: armor, city gates, magic resistance, dragons, entire cities... However, the technique exhausts Tigre. A predecessor who used the bow to destroy a city ended up ''dying'' because he used his life to fire the shot.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: ''Every shot he makes'' hits, he's so good. The black bow adds explosions to those hits.
* {{Expy}}: [[WordOfGod Tsukasa Kawaguchi]] incorporated elements of the mythical archers Myth/RobinHood and Nasu no Yoichi when creating the character.
* ForegoneConclusion: Tigre having relationships with all of the war maidens was a given, since this is what the story revolves around.
* FourStarBadass: He is a Brunish count and an army commander. It was Tigre who led the Silver Meteor Army against Ganelon and Thenardier and later, [[spoiler:the Moonlight Knights against Melisande, Greast and Kureys]].
* GoodIsNotSoft: Tigre is an unstoppable force in combat.
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: [[InvertedTrope Nope.]] Tigre, fights exclusively with a bow, and the Vanadis fight exclusively with their array of close combat weapons.
* HappinessInSlavery: Well, prisoner of war, but Tigre does enjoy considerable perks as Elen's prisoner.
* HeavySleeper: So much so. This combined with his ThanksForTheMammaries tendencies is mainly responsible for his AccidentalPervert status.
%% * TheHero
* HeroesPreferSwords: [[AvertedTrope Nope]]. Tigre exclusively uses a bow in battle, and has no skill with other weapons.
* HeroicBSOD: In the series, Tigre has two of these, both of which border on DespairEventHorizon.
** Tigre goes through a brief one in Volume 5, mourning the loss of his surrogate father. Elen helps him get over it before the FinalBattle with Thenardier.
** In Volume 13, Tigre gets hit with this ‘’again’’ when [[spoiler:he feels that he was unable to save Elen from being captured by Greast. He goes off alone to rescue Elen, but Mila helps him snap out of it]].
* HorseArcher: Despite being a commander of the Silver Meteor Army, he's often on horseback and fighting with his bow.
* HumbleHero: Despite all his accomplishments, he'd rather live peacefully in Alsace. King Victor calls him out by observing that people looking at his accomplishments are more likely to assume he's playing up the humility as a PR move.
* IGaveMyWord: At the end of Volume 2, he kills the last Serrash assassin attempting to kill Ludmila as thanks for the tea.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: Tigre ''will'' hit his target, no matter what. Even if he's using a flimsy bow he's only ever shot twice before.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: Tigre having amnesia throughout volumes 8 through 10.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: With Titta, despite Titta wanting more.
* LongRangeFighter: Due to only using a bow to fight.
* ItsPersonal: Tigre and Duke Thenardier's duel. Tigre's out to avenge Alsace and the killing of Bertrand, while Duke Thenardier wants revenge for his son and his closest aide.
* MageMarksman: With the Black Bow, sometimes with help from a Dragonic Tool.
* MeaningfulName: Vorn, his last name, means “front” in German. Tigre is Spanish, Italian ‘’and’’ French for “tiger.”
* MistressAndServantBoy: Basically the servant to Elen's mistress. He then later becomes this to Liza as well.
* MyGreatestFailure:
** In Volume 5, he is unable to save Bertrand from being killed by Thenardier and temporarily suffers a HeroicBSOD.
** In Volume 13, his failure to prevent Elen’s capture by Greast leads to him attempting to rescue her on his own. Luckily for him, Mila snaps him out of his funk and joins him]].
* NiceGuy: Tigre's benevolence and generosity is the reason for his popularity with his people.
* OceanAwe: Tigre never seems much interested in seeing the ocean before Volume 6 and is struck speechless for a half hour after.
* OddFriendship: Minor rural lords do not befriend seven of the most powerful women in the world.
** Quite a few of his friendships are quite odd, particularly Ryurik and Damad. The latter even was specifically ordered to kill Tigre.
* OutdoorBathPeeping: How Tigre first met Sophia. It was an accident. So was catching Tina naked.
* [[OutsideContextVillain Outside Context Hero]]: Not only does Tigre's superlative archery skills allow him to make impossible shots, he also hails from a country known for its contempt of the bow as a weapon. Thus he blindsides a lot of enemies and manages to kill a lot of commanders by sniping them from what they believe to be a safe distance.
* PayEvilUntoEvil: Tigre kills Zion in Volume 1 for invading Alsace and he later does the same to Kasim in Volume 4 for killing innocent slaves.
%% * RedHeadedHero
%% ** RedIsHeroic
* ShowyInvincibleHero: For the vast majority of the story, the entertainment value wasn't about ''if'' he'll win the battle, but in ''how.'' Then [[spoiler:the end of Volume 12 came along]].
* SleepCute: Many of the female characters find his sleeping face cute.
* SoleSurvivor: In Volume 1, Tigre appears to be the only survivor to survive Elen’s assault on Dinant; most of his allies are dead and/or have escaped, and Tigre himself was PlayingPossum after he was knocked down.
* SpannerInTheWorks: He has repeatedly put a wrench in villains’ plans and helped others in their darkest hours just from the fact that the villains underestimate his skills and prowess in battle.
* StormingTheCastle: He and Elen led the assault on the Tatra Mountains in Volume 2.
* ThanksForTheMammaries: Tigre's modus operandi of {{accidental pervert}}hood.
* UnwantedHarem: While he remains mostly oblivious to the fact, he's developed quite a circle around himself with Elen, Titta, Mila, Sophie, Liza, Olga, Lim and Regin, all showing interest, and it just keeps growing as even [[TokenEvilTeammate Tina]] is starting to show sincere interest in volume 11.
* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard not to give away that Tigre [[spoiler:ends up with amnesia]] since it's the basis of almost three entire light novels.
* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: The question on the lips of many people after Elen takes him prisoner (since she just kills people rather than bother) and goes to war for him. [[spoiler:The answer is that he's the first male to match her in any of the arts of war since she became a Vanadis.]]
* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: Tigre's only real skill is archery. He solves a surprising number of problems by shooting something.
* WillTheyOrWontThey: With Elen. To a lesser extent with his other {{love interest}}s.[[spoiler: they do at volume 13]]

[[folder:Brune Nobility]]
!!King Faron Soleil Rauy Blainville de Charles
->Voiced by: Creator/TakehitoKoyasu (Japanese), Creator/JasonDouglas (English)
The king of Brune.
The death of Faron's son at the Battle of Dinant took a huge toll on his sanity; reducing his mind to that of a sick, 5-year-old, child. As a result, he stays locked in his throne room, and stays out of the political affairs going on outside. To which Thenardier and Ganelon claim themselves as "temporary" leaders of Brune.
----
* BigGood: He is this for the first arc until Regin takes over towards the end of Volume 5.
* CharacterDeath: He dies near the end of Volume 5. It is implied heavily that someone, Ganelon being the most logical guess, had been slowly poisoning him to death over the course of the story.
* DespairEventHorizon: The death of his only child caused him to retreat into seclusion. At least, that's the story...
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Faron being unable to stop Ganelon or Thenardier from gaining power due to his poisoning, as well as indirectly allowing Zhcted to attack Brune when he summoned 25,000 troops at the Dinant Plains, kind of resembles what the British Prime Minister UsefulNotes/NevilleChamberlain did when UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler rose to power in Germany before UsefulNotes/WorldWarII.

* HeroicBSOD: All he can do is isolate himself in his bedroom when his heir seemingly dies at Dinant.
* MinorMajorCharacter: Despite his role as King of Brune, Faron only appears in the first and fifth volumes.
* MeaningfulName: Faron means a “good-looking servant” in Old English and Soleil means sun in French.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: His sickness at the hands of Ganelon allowed the dispute between Ganelon and Thenardier to go virtually unchecked and Zhcted declaring war on Brune.
* OlderThanTheyLook: When he meets Tigre and company, he is described to be old and wrinkly despite his youth.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He tries to help with serious situations, such as when he dispatches Regnas, Tigre and his allies to fight Zhcted in the Dinant Plains, but it does little good in deescalating the dispute between Ganelon and Thenardier.
* TamperingWithFoodAndDrink: Ganelon's been poisoning him, possibly for years. That's the real reason he's disappeared from public view.
* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: He dies after the Brune civil war. For a monarch who suffered the trauma of losing his only heir to Ganelon’s poisoning, he was a kind-hearted man who ruled Brune with justice.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Decries Tigre for being captured by Elen, proclaiming Tigre should have fought until his weapon broke instead of trying to run away.

Never mind using archers on Tigre despite condemning Tigre's use of a hunting bow at the start of the story.
* {{Jerkass}}: Not only did he ruthlessly belittle Tigre for his archery skills before Elen’s assault at the Dinant Plains, he also tried to invade Alsace and attempt to violate Titta to further insult him.

* MoralMyopia: She's no stranger to Thernadier's methods, and history, yet sees nothing wrong with any of it, including the attempted razing of Alsace.

!!Naum
A veteran knight loyal to Liza who acts as her supervisor.
Similar to Lim's development, Naum is skeptic about Tigre (Urs at the time) being chosen as Liza's servant due to the possibly of it putting a damper on his lord's reputation, but starts to come around after seeing Tigre's work under Liza's guidance. The two eventually begin to trust one another as Naum discusses to Tigre about Liza's past, and her history with Elen.
----
* LoyalToThePosition: His first loyalty is to the Vanadis of Lebus. However, he's very proud of Liza on a personal level.
* {{Mentor}}: To Liza; teaching her the necessities to be a good lord.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Is this for Liza to make sure that she makes a good lord for her people, and later to Tigre after he starts to trust him.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Liza.
!!Lazarl

* NumberTwo: To Naum.

Later Urz as well after coming around to accepting him, even willing to help Urs if he decides to live in Lebus despite the feeling of jealousy/animosity that the people of Lebus have towards Urs Urs.

!!Valentina Glinka Estes
->Voiced by: Creator/HitomiHarada (Japanese), Creator/MonicaRial (English)
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/06_valentinaglinkaestes_6802.jpg
The wielder of the Dragonic scythe of shadow, Ezendeis, and the lord of the Osterode territory in the Zhcted Kingdom.
The most mysterious of the Vanadis, Tina is the type that shows a sweet, gentle, smile on the outside, but is actually cunning and manipulative on the inside. In addition, Tina has within her the royal blood of the Zhcted nobility, and will go to any length to make her wish to become the queen of Zhcted a reality. Her ambition prompts her to initiate, and put down, a civil war in the Zhcted Kingdom in an attempt to raise her reputation, and status, for when the time comes to take the throne for herself.
----
* AffablyEvil: Unlike most of the [[BigBad Big Bads]], Tina is a NobleDemon who just wants to become the queen of Zhcted. Her reasons for conquering the kingdom are out of necessity as she has the royal blood of the Zhcted nobility. She has several opportunities to give Tigre and the others a fighting chance.
* AffectionateNickname: Volume 14 reveals her nickname as Tina.
* BeneathTheMask: Tina shows a gentle smile, but deep down, she is cunning and manipulative, and willing to do anything to become queen of Zhcted.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: The soft spoken, polite and noble war maiden was simply a role for Tina to hide behind - the truth is that she is a ManipulativeBitch.
* CastingAShadow: Tina's main ability thanks to her Dragon Tool, Ezendeis.
* TheChessmaster: How she plans to become queen of Zhcted.
* FakeDefector: Does this as part of a ploy in Volume 11, Chapter 4.
* FlowerInHerHair: She wears a white rose on her hair as an accessory.
* FreudianExcuse: Her territory is in straits very similar to Alsace back at the beginning of the story. Unlike Tigrevormund Vorn, however, she can't simply go round up an army and attack the threat directly for several reasons, the most prominent of which is that the King of Zhcted is silently in collusion with those that want to bring harm to her people and seize her territory, out of greed and jealousy, and she knows it. She's faking illness to avoid being sent on a UriahGambit because she's well aware of the king's near paranoid fear of the Vanadis, and their power, her territory becoming too prosperous for the king's taste, and her neighbors hasn't helped. Becoming the High Queen is basically her only option to protect her people.
* FreudianThreat: Does this to Tigre in Volume 11 with her scythe, after ''she'' walked in on ''him'' while he was bathing in a river. She was also naked at the time due to bathing herself, out of sight, somewhere upstream. (She let him go because he was honest about seeing her naked, and [[SomethingElseAlsoRises enjoying]] [[BathingBeauty the view.]])
* TheGadfly: She just loves to taunt and tease her fellow Vanadis, Tigre, and any movers and shakers she comes across just to get a reaction. Justified in that said reactions provide valuable intel.
* GoodColorsEvilColors: Tina wears a white, red and purple dress, and sports black hair and purple eyes, indicating her sinister nature.
* IknowYouKnowIKnow: She suspects that her deployment with Tigre and Elen in Volume 11 is more than King Victor's usual UriahGambit.
* IllGirl: Tina suffers from an illness that keeps her physically weak. [[spoiler: She is faking it.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: All the nasty things she's done in the series have been done purely for the sake of keeping her people safe. She not only loves them dearly, but is loved by them in turn.
* LightIsNotGood: She wears light-colored clothes but she is a cunning war maiden.
* ManipulativeBitch: Tina is willingly to do anything to become queen...anything.
* MeaningfulName: Tina is a German, Latvian, Italian and Spanish given name derived from the Latin word Valentines, which means “healthy”. Glinka is a Polish and Slavic name and Estes is derived from the Old English term which means “of the East.” Tina lives in Zhcted, which is in the eastern lands of Europe.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Her nickname, the Illusory Princess of the Hollow Shadow, is a scary name.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Tina's FakeDefector plot in Volume 11 ends up causing Brune to brand Tigre as a “traitor” by Brune’s nobility again.
* NobleDemon: She does have a code of honor, given that she is a war maiden and is well loved in her native Osterode.
* NomDeGuerre: She is known as the Illusory Princess of the Hollow Shadow.
* PurpleIsPowerful: Her eyes are colored purple, appropriately enough given that she is the war maiden of Osterode.
* RapunzelHair: She has long, waist length hair.
* SinisterScythe: Tina's Dragonic Tool, Ezendais.
* SmartPeoplePlayChess: The anime has her sitting at a chess table playing a game against an unseen opponent in the opening.
* SmugSuper: When she shows her true face.
* SomethingAboutARose: Tina has different colored roses: a white one on her head, a purple rose on her waist and several red roses on her uniform and shoes.
* TeleportSpam: Unlike the other Vanadis, Tina is able to teleport to wherever she wants and doesn't get tired from it.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Compared to her fellow Vanadis, her actions have been the most dark and troublesome.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom:
** In Volume 6, Tina sends Tigre out to Asvarre to end a civil war there along with Sofya and Olga, inadvertently causing Tigre to lose his bow and his memory after being attacked by Torbalan, and Liza to discover him.
** During Volume 11, her FakeDefector plot during the Sachstein invasion causes Tigre to be branded as a traitor ‘’again’’ and indirectly leads to the insurgency in Brune. [[SarcasmMode Good work there]].
* WeComeInPeaceShootToKill: Discussed. She offers this to Elen and Tigre to help defeat their mutual enemy. She is turned down.

The wielder of the Dragonic axe of lunate, Muma, and the lord of the Brest territory in the Zhcted Kingdom.
Due to her young age, Olga would often run away from her territory, and travel the world, as she doesn't feel ready to rule her land. One such adventure brought her before Tigre who had been tasked by the king of Zhcted to carry out a secret mission related to the Asvarre civil war.

* OlderThanTheyLook: 14 years of age is quite high for a TokenMiniMoe.
* ReluctantFanserviceGirl: She did have instinctive misgivings about doing the same when Torbalan demanded it, however, although she consciously did not understand why.
* StockingFiller: Wears fishnet stockings on her standard uniform.
* TokenMiniMoe: Despite being 14 years old, Olga has the appearance of a child.

The current monarch of Zhcted.
Despite being king, Victor allows the Vanadis to do whatever they desire so long as they keep Zhcted's well-being first and foremost, and to keep the Vanadis users happy due to the fear that the power of their Dragonic Tools could be used against him if one is treated unfairly. However, how much a Vanadis can get away with comes to question when he learns that Elen has invaded Brune to protect the territory of Alsace from its own people, and is only convinced otherwise when Elen offers him new land, and better relations with Brune, should Tigre's revolution succeed.

!!Eugene Shevarin

* SpareToTheThrone: In line to the throne of Zchted. [[spoiler: And the king personally assigns him to it.]]
!!Ilda Krutis

That all goes south however when its set-up by Valentina to make it look like Eugene had tried to kill Ilda through poisoned vodka. The result being a declaration of war against Eugene.

[[folder:Alsace]]
!!Tigrevurmud Vorn
->Voiced by: Creator/KaitoIshikawa (Japanese), Creator/JoelMcDonald (English)
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/01_tigre_3876.jpg
The protagonist of ''Madan no Ou to Vanadis''. Tigre is the earl of Alsace, a tiny idyllic earldom on the Zhcted border, far from court intrigues or wealthy commercial region. And Tigre likes it that way. With few responsibilities, Tigre is free to pursue his love of hunting and sleeping in late... until the border levies are summoned.
After his army's defeat by Zhcted's Vanadis Eleonora Viltaria, Tigre becomes her first ever prisoner of war after impressing her. He refuses her every attempt at recruitment, until Duke Thenardier launches an attack on Alsace as the opening move in Brune's civil war. To defend his home, Tigre ''hires'' Elen and her army as mercenaries, and soundly defeats Thenardier. Together with other petty nobles, Tigre forms the Silver Meteor Army, which he leads to victory over both other factions of the civil war, as well as an invading army. During the course of the war Tigre develops into an excellent general, wins the admiration of enemies and allies alike, discovers Brune's secret heir, kills several dragons, fights off a demon, and discovers his AncestralWeapon has a secret destructive power linked to the goddess of death.
On the return home from Asvarre, Tigre ends up lost-at-sea during a fight with Torbalan, but is found by the Vanadis, Liza; having lost his memories, and becomes her servant.
-----
* AccidentalPervert: Tigre's hands seem to be magnets for [[ThanksForTheMammary women's chests]].
* AmnesiacDissonance: This happens to Tigre during [[spoiler:Volumes 8 to 10]] as he lives in [[spoiler:Lebus]] as the youth Urz under [[spoiler:Elizavetta's]] service. He grows to care for her and his life in [[spoiler:Lebus]], and even as his memories as Tigre begin to resurface he remains uncertain if he wants to regain his old identity.
* AmnesiacHero: [[spoiler: Tigre after the events in Volume 7 until the conclusion of Volume 10.]]
* AncestralWeapon: The black bow of the Vorn family which is currently in Tigre's possession.
* TheArcher: Tigre's a preternaturally skilled marksman. Maybe too much so, he's hopeless with melee weapons.
* ArrowCatch: Tigre ''nonchalantly'' catches an arrow aimed at Teita's head then [[{{CatchAndReturn}} fires it back.]] Still hurts him though.
* BerserkButton: Threatening Titta or Alsace. Later expands to seeing soldiers engage in any form of injustice.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He’s one of the friendliest people and a respected lord in Alsace. But if you push him far enough (like killing slaves, innocent children, or harm his homeland), he will be prepared to shoot an arrow right through your head.
* BigDamnHeroes: Tigre pulls this trope off almost OnceAnEpisode:
** In Volume 1, he arrives at Alsace in time to stop Zion’s AttemptedRape on Titta and his invasion of Alsace.
** In Volume 2, he saves Mila from the last Serrash assassin during Elen’s battle in Olmutz.
** In Volume 3, he helps stop Roland from killing Elen and Sofy.

* BiggerIsBetterInBed: Implied, as a gag.
* CallForward: During his spying on Mila in Volume 2, he takes on his father’s name Urs. [[spoiler:He uses this name when he temporarily loses his memory six volumes later]].

* ChildhoodFriendRomance: With Titta and Regin.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Regin. They met during their excursions outside their homes when they were young.
* CripplingOverspecialization: While his use of the bow is legendary, if anyone or anything gets into melee range, he's completely helpless. Sure, he can use a hunting knife, but only on something he's already killed.
* TheDragonslayer: In the past, Tigre killed an Earth Dragon with just a bow. Manages to down a couple during the Brune civil war as well.
* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: The black bow can fire arrows that can pierce through anything: armor, city gates, magic resistance, dragons, entire cities... However, the technique exhausts Tigre. A predecessor who used the bow to destroy a city ended up ''dying'' because he used his life to fire the shot.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: ''Every shot he makes'' hits, he's so good. The black bow adds explosions to those hits.
* {{Expy}}: [[WordOfGod Tsukasa Kawaguchi]] incorporated elements of the mythical archers Myth/RobinHood and Nasu no Yoichi when creating the character.
* ForegoneConclusion: Tigre having relationships with all of the war maidens was a given, since this is what the story revolves around.
* FourStarBadass: He is a Brunish count and an army commander. It was Tigre who led the Silver Meteor Army against Ganelon and Thenardier and later, [[spoiler:the Moonlight Knights against Melisande, Greast and Kureys]].

* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: [[InvertedTrope Nope.]] Tigre, fights exclusively with a bow, and the Vanadis fight exclusively with their array of close combat weapons.
* HappinessInSlavery: Well, prisoner of war, but Tigre does enjoy considerable perks as Elen's prisoner.
* HeavySleeper: So much so. This combined with his ThanksForTheMammaries tendencies is mainly responsible for his AccidentalPervert status.
%% * TheHero
* HeroesPreferSwords: [[AvertedTrope Nope]]. Tigre exclusively uses a bow in battle, and has no skill with other weapons.
* HeroicBSOD: In the series, Tigre has two of these, both of which border on DespairEventHorizon.
** Tigre goes through a brief one in Volume 5, mourning the loss of his surrogate father. Elen helps him get over it before the FinalBattle with Thenardier.

* HorseArcher: Despite being a commander of the Silver Meteor Army, he's often on horseback and fighting with his bow.

* IGaveMyWord: At the end of Volume 2, he kills the last Serrash assassin attempting to kill Ludmila as thanks for the tea.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: Tigre ''will'' hit his target, no matter what. Even if he's using a flimsy bow he's only ever shot twice before.

** In Volume 5, he is unable to save Bertrand from being killed by Thenardier and temporarily suffers a HeroicBSOD.
** In Volume 13, his failure to prevent Elen’s capture by Greast leads to him attempting to rescue her on his own. Luckily for him, Mila snaps him out of his funk and joins him]].
* NiceGuy: Tigre's benevolence and generosity is the reason for his popularity with his people.
* OceanAwe: Tigre never seems much interested in seeing the ocean before Volume 6 and is struck speechless for a half hour after.
* OddFriendship: Minor rural lords do not befriend seven of the most powerful women in the world.
** Quite a few of his friendships are quite odd, particularly Ryurik and Damad. The latter even was specifically ordered to kill Tigre.
* OutdoorBathPeeping: How Tigre first met Sophia. It was an accident. So was catching Tina naked.
* [[OutsideContextVillain Outside Context Hero]]: Not only does Tigre's superlative archery skills allow him to make impossible shots, he also hails from a country known for its contempt of the bow as a weapon. Thus he blindsides a lot of enemies and manages to kill a lot of commanders by sniping them from what they believe to be a safe distance.

* StormingTheCastle: He and Elen led the assault on the Tatra Mountains in Volume 2.
* ThanksForTheMammaries: Tigre's modus operandi of {{accidental pervert}}hood.
* UnwantedHarem: While he remains mostly oblivious to the fact, he's developed quite a circle around himself with Elen, Titta, Mila, Sophie, Liza, Olga, Lim and Regin, all showing interest, and it just keeps growing as even [[TokenEvilTeammate Tina]] is starting to show sincere interest in volume 11.
* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard not to give away that Tigre [[spoiler:ends up with amnesia]] since it's the basis of almost three entire light novels.
* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: The question on the lips of many people after Elen takes him prisoner (since she just kills people rather than bother) and goes to war for him. [[spoiler:The answer is that he's the first male to match her in any of the arts of war since she became a Vanadis.]]
* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: Tigre's only real skill is archery. He solves a surprising number of problems by shooting something.

!!King Faron Soleil Rauy Blainville de Charles

The king of Brune.
The death of Faron's son at the Battle of Dinant took a huge toll on his sanity; reducing his mind to that of a sick, 5-year-old, child. As a result, he stays locked in his throne room, and stays out of the political affairs going on outside. To which Thenardier and Ganelon claim themselves as "temporary" leaders of Brune.
----
* BigGood: He is this for the first arc until Regin takes over towards the end of Volume 5.
* CharacterDeath: He dies near the end of Volume 5. It is implied heavily that someone, Ganelon being the most logical guess, had been slowly poisoning him to death over the course of the story.
* DespairEventHorizon: The death of his only child caused him to retreat into seclusion. At least, that's the story...
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Faron being unable to stop Ganelon or Thenardier from gaining power due to his poisoning, as well as indirectly allowing Zhcted to attack Brune when he summoned 25,000 troops at the Dinant Plains, kind of resembles what the British Prime Minister UsefulNotes/NevilleChamberlain did when UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler rose to power in Germany before UsefulNotes/WorldWarII.

* MeaningfulName: Faron means a “good-looking servant” in Old English and Soleil means sun in French.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: His sickness at the hands of Ganelon allowed the dispute between Ganelon and Thenardier to go virtually unchecked and Zhcted declaring war on Brune.
* OlderThanTheyLook: When he meets Tigre and company, he is described to be old and wrinkly despite his youth.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He tries to help with serious situations, such as when he dispatches Regnas, Tigre and his allies to fight Zhcted in the Dinant Plains, but it does little good in deescalating the dispute between Ganelon and Thenardier.
* TamperingWithFoodAndDrink: Ganelon's been poisoning him, possibly for years. That's the real reason he's disappeared from public view.
* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: He dies after the Brune civil war. For a monarch who suffered the trauma of losing his only heir to Ganelon’s poisoning, he was a kind-hearted man who ruled Brune with justice.

The wielder of the Dragonic scythe of shadow, Ezendeis, and the lord of the Osterode territory in the Zhcted Kingdom.
The most mysterious of the Vanadis, Tina is the type that shows a sweet, gentle, smile on the outside, but is actually cunning and manipulative on the inside. In addition, Tina has within her the royal blood of the Zhcted nobility, and will go to any length to make her wish to become the queen of Zhcted a reality. Her ambition prompts her to initiate, and put down, a civil war in the Zhcted Kingdom in an attempt to raise her reputation, and status, for when the time comes to take the throne for herself.
----
* AffablyEvil: Unlike most of the [[BigBad Big Bads]], Tina is a NobleDemon who just wants to become the queen of Zhcted.

* FreudianExcuse: Her territory is in straits very similar to Alsace back at the beginning of the story. Unlike Tigrevormund Vorn, however, she can't simply go round up an army and attack the threat directly for several reasons, the most prominent of which is that the King of Zhcted is silently in collusion with those that want to bring harm to her people and seize her territory, out of greed and jealousy, and she knows it. She's faking illness to avoid being sent on a UriahGambit because she's well aware of the king's near paranoid fear of the Vanadis, and their power, her territory becoming too prosperous for the king's taste, and her neighbors hasn't helped. Becoming the High Queen is basically her only option to protect her people.
* FreudianThreat: Does this to Tigre in Volume 11 with her scythe, after ''she'' walked in on ''him'' while he was bathing in a river.

* IllGirl: Tina suffers from an illness that keeps her physically weak. [[spoiler: She is faking it.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: All the nasty things she's done in the series have been done purely for the sake of keeping her people safe. She not only loves them dearly, but is loved by them in turn.
* LightIsNotGood: She wears light-colored clothes but she is a cunning war maiden.
* ManipulativeBitch: Tina is willingly to do anything to become queen...anything.
* MeaningfulName: Tina is a German, Latvian, Italian and Spanish given name derived from the Latin word Valentines, which means “healthy”. Glinka is a Polish and Slavic name and Estes is derived from the Old English term which means “of the East.” Tina lives in Zhcted, which is in the eastern lands of Europe.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Her nickname, the Illusory Princess of the Hollow Shadow, is a scary name.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Tina's FakeDefector plot in Volume 11 ends up causing Brune to brand Tigre as a “traitor” by Brune’s nobility again.
* NobleDemon: She does have a code of honor, given that she is a war maiden and is well loved in her native Osterode.
* NomDeGuerre: She is known as the Illusory Princess of the Hollow Shadow.
* PurpleIsPowerful: Her eyes are colored purple, appropriately enough given that she is the war maiden of Osterode.
* RapunzelHair: She has long, waist length hair.
* SinisterScythe: Tina's Dragonic Tool, Ezendais.
* SmartPeoplePlayChess: The anime has her sitting at a chess table playing a game against an unseen opponent in the opening.
* SmugSuper: When she shows her true face.
* SomethingAboutARose: Tina has different colored roses: a white one on her head, a purple rose on her waist and several red roses on her uniform and shoes.
* TeleportSpam: Unlike the other Vanadis, Tina is able to teleport to wherever she wants and doesn't get tired from it.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Compared to her fellow Vanadis, her actions have been the most dark and troublesome.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom:
** In Volume 6, Tina sends Tigre out to Asvarre to end a civil war there along with Sofya and Olga, inadvertently causing Tigre to lose his bow and his memory after being attacked by Torbalan, and Liza to discover him.
** During Volume 11, her FakeDefector plot during the Sachstein invasion causes Tigre to be branded as a traitor ‘’again’’ and indirectly leads to the insurgency in Brune. [[SarcasmMode Good work there]].
* WeComeInPeaceShootToKill: Discussed. She offers this to Elen and Tigre to help defeat their mutual enemy. She is turned down.

!Demons
[[OutsideContextVillain The ultimate antagonists of the series]] are seven ancient powerful demons with connections to the Vanadis as well as Tigre's bow. Each one has a unique power in addition to near total immunity to conventional weaponry, resistance against magical weapons, teleportation, the ability to take human form, and a complete disregard for the sanctity of life.
Their origin and ultimate objectives are yet unknown. What is known is that they have infiltrated positions of power in every country on the continent and are involved in (if not responsible for) all the wars and national tensions in the series. They are divided into two factions based on their intention towards Tigre and the black bow: half want him dead, the other half want him alive and captured.
Several have already perished at the hands of one another or the Vanadis.

[[folder:The Seven Demons]]
!!Drekavac
->Voiced by: Akihiro Nemoto (Japanese), Creator/ChuckHuber (English)
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/18_drekavac_1866.jpg
A fortuneteller, and one of Duke Thenardier's most loyal subordinates.
Drekavac is the key as to why Thenardier's army is so overwhelmingly powerful; training several types of dragons to make up the the firepower of Thenardier's forces. He also seems to have knowledge regarding the black bow that is currently in Tigre's possession.
----
* TheBeastmaster: Trains dragons as a means to power up Thenardier's army.
* DevilInDisguise: Thenardier himself acknowledges there's something off about him, but Drekavac serves loyally until the Duke's death.
* FortuneTeller: His implied occupation when he's not working for Thenardier.
!!Vodyanoy
A man that works under Drekavac.
He is actually a frog demon that knows about the black bow Tigre wields. Vodyanoy tries to kidnap Tigre to learn more about the man who wields the bow, but ends up losing in a fight against him and Mira; forcing Vodyanoy to retreat. He returns later on to act as a roadblock to keep Elen away from Baba Yaga's fight with Liza and Urs (Tigre).
----
* CharacterTics: Carries around a bag of gold coins to chew on.
* DevilInDisguise: A frog demon that disguises himself as a human.
* TheDragon: While he ''does'' technically work under Thenardier, he's Drekavac's right-hand man.
* OverlyLongTongue: Being a frog demon, this is a given.
* PragmaticAdaptation: The anime skips over his fight with Tigre and Mira. However, when you look at it from the anime's perspective, which will only be adapting the Brune arc, Vodyanoy's fight would have felt completely out of place as the demon lore only starts to expand further out after the Brune civil war concludes.
!!Torbalan/Leicester
A giant white demon who disguises himself as an Asvarre general named Leicester. He sides with Prince Elliot in the civil war; commanding a group of soldiers that hold down the Asvarre Kingdom's Fort Lux.
Torbalan was forced to reveal his true-self when he fought Tigre and Olga during their invasion of Fort Lux. Torbalan ends up losing the fight, and is forced out of commission for a brief time, but later on, he returns to fight Tigre on his return home from Asvarre, and launched an invasion on Zhcted with a vast pirate army.
----
* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:Finally met his end in a fight against Sasha in Volume 8.]]
* DevilInDisguise: A white-horned demon who disguised himself as an Asvarre general.
* TheLeader: Of the Asvarre soldiers that hold down Fort Lux, and later, a legion of pirates to launch an invasion on Zhcted.
* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: In its human form, it has a long (off-screen) history of raping women, especially virgins, and then eating them, until not even their bones are left. It explicitly threatens both Olga and Sasha with this, in its demon form.
!!Baba Yaga
A demon that disguises herself as an elderly woman of Lebus.
At some point prior to her introduction, the Vanadis, Liza, formed a contract with her in exchange for the demon’s power. In the present, Liza seeks her out to confront her after Baba proves to be a major threat for the people of Lebus.
----
* BigBad: Of Volumes 8-10.
* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:Near the end of Volume 10. After escaping, weak and battered, from possible death against a newly awakened Tigre, she runs into her fellow demon, Koschei, who finishes her off in order to eat Baba for more demonic power]].
* DealWithTheDevil: Liza formed a contract with her at some point in the past when she wished to Baba Yaga for power in order to not lose to anyone if she was ever in a pinch.
* DevilInDisguise: A demon that takes the form of an elder woman. She reveals her true self when she decides to get serious in a fight with Liza and Urs (Tigre).
* FinalBoss: Of the second arc.
* {{Flight}}: Can fly.
* SuperpowerLottery: After awhile, it becomes clear that Baba Yaga is just ''loaded'' with abilities to use.
** CharmPerson: Is capable of mind manipulation; forcing 15 Lebus soldiers to fight for her. However, it can only be done on the WeakWilled such as said 15 soldiers who were jealous of Urs interacting with Liza.
** DishingOutDirt: Similar to EnemySummoner, she can form humanoid soldiers made of nearby soil/clay to fight for her.
** EnemySummoner: Can summon black creatures of miasma, such as snakes, to fight for her.
** PlayingWithFire: Can shoot fireballs.
** MasterOfIllusion: Can create illusions to confuse/manipulate her opponents.
** {{Telepathy}}: Can speak to others, such as Vodyanoy, through her mind.
** ShockAndAwe: Can fire lightning bolts.
