- Ham-to-Ham Combat: There's a sidequest involving a version of him from another world. They quickly wind up yelling various insults at each other, apparently unaware that calling your alternate-universe self "low-born" implies the same thing of you.

- Jerkass: The low-born comment!
- Too Dumb to Live:
- Sieg has to haul him bodily out of Cragbark before he starts trying to rile up the Furious Roar and gets himself ripped to shreds.
- Subverted in a sidequest. Sieg panics because alternate-universe Ramin decided to drop by Pharamond, which is, as he puts it, "chock-full of people with swords." Turns out other!Ramin's music just makes people laugh really, really hard instead of making them angry.

General tropes
- Anti-Villain: Some of them; the Aster Folks are the most notable example.
- Battle Couple: Conon and Fergus, Nova and Sophia, Vaslof and Resno.
- Because Destiny Says So: This trope is the foundation of The Order of the One True Way. Followers believe in it so strongly that they don't even think to move to safety when a cleric announces that lightning will strike and kill in a crowd, because destiny said that it would happen. Disconcertingly for the heroes, all of their predictions do come true. The priests can predict the future because Valfred can read their world's Chronicle, a history of all its natural events. It doesn't say anything about what people will do, though, and it can (and has) been rewritten to suit the Order's desires.
- Co-Dragons: The archivists, for Valfred.
- Heel–Face Turn: Fredegund, Diadora, Nova, Sophia and the Aster Folk.
- Hopeless Boss Fight: Everyone but Macoute and Beardsley pulls this at least once. Offen happens when the party meets a new archivist.
- One-Winged Angel: The archivists can became one by 'fusing' with a False Chronicle. Everyone but Nova, Diadora, Vaslof and Resno ends up becoming one.
Valfred
The Chancellor of the Order of the One True Way. He does not shy away from using his army to expand the reach of the Order.
- Big Bad Duumvirate: With the One King.
- Evil Chancellor: He's a Chancellor that's the main antagonist driving the story's plot.
- Evil Old Folks: He's 65, although one of Anya's quests notes that he hasn't aged for a long time, so he's probably much older.
- Love Makes You Evil: Everything began when his family was erased by the world fusion long time ago.
- Seers: Can predict the future by reading the world's Chronicle.
Conon
He is an Archivist of the The Order, and is partnered with Fergus. Not much is known about Conon, except that he is very serious about acquiring the Chronicles, like his partner.
- Dual Boss: With Fergus.
- Villain Forgot to Level Grind: Pointed out by Liu.
Fergus
An archivist for the The Order of the One True Way, working under Valfred. He was assigned to look for the False Chronicles with his partner Conon.

Diadora
The lead archivist at the library in the Town of the Way, the stronghold of the Order of the One True Way in the town of Cynas. She wasn't originally a Starbearer, but upon the fusion of worlds, she received the Chronicle of her world and became a Starbearer.
- Everybody's Dead, Dave: Her home world has erased by a world fusion.
- My Nayme Is: Her name is pronounced like the real-life name "Deirdre".
- Psychotic Smirk: Even when she's sincerely happy, she has one hell of an evil smile.
- Redemption Demotion: She has the power to create Gateways to anywhere she's been before. Can you use this to summon monsters like she did before joining you or create a Portal Network to every city on the map? Of course not.
- Weaponized Teleportation: She likes to make Gates that don't lead anywhere as a way of disposing of inconvenient people. This is the only ability she retains post Heel–Face Turn; see Redemption Demotion.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Her main goal in hunting the Chronicles is to allow the Order to prevent world fusions from wiping out heavily populated areas.
Nova
Nova is part of the Order, and a minor antagonist that Sieg and the Viele Wege Company fought on several occasions. His daughter is very afraid of him because of a traumatic experience.
- Dual Boss: With Sophia.
- Love Martyr: To his daughter, Sophia.
- My Greatest Failure: An unfortunate accident caused him to briefly go crazy and attack his wife and daughter. Sophia survived, but Nova is now even more determined to protect her to make up for it.
- Stone Wall: Every time you fight the two of them, Nova is standing in front and absorbing all the damage while Sophia nukes you with spells from the back. His stats reflect that too.
- Sword and Sorcerer: The sword, with Sophia as Sorceress.
- 24-Hour Armor: He doesn't even have a sprite where he isn't wearing a helmet, so the only time in the entire game you can even see his face is one animated cutscene.
Sophia
A dedicated servant of the Order of the One True Way that works as one of the archivists in the great library of Cynas. Nova was her real father. She was fatally wounded when Nova went berserk as a result of receiving the mark of the Sacred Twin Blades, subsequently causing her to fear Nova and having her memories of him wiped from her mind. In need of a father figure, her mind had replaced Nova with Valfred, who had then gave her the Mark of the True Chronicle.

- Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Blue to Vaslof's Red.
Vaslof
An Auster Folk, who works for The Order of the One True Way. He is Resno's husband. Vaslof is a loyal soldier, and believes in honor and justice.

- Friendly Enemy: Vaslof quite likes the hero, even though he's on the other side.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Red to Resno's Blue.
Macoute
The Order head of Grayridge Town for many years.
- Accidental Misnaming: He does not appreciate Sieg's constantly referring to him as "the windbag."
- Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: You can actually take pity on him at some point...
- Large Ham: His voice actor was really enjoying himself.
- Obstructive Bureaucrat: The party's original reason for disliking him was that he refused to give them a border pass unless they waited for days.
Beardsley
An Order general.
The One King
The Order of the One True Way in many worlds worshiped the One King and awaited his arrival. He would arrive when 12 worlds were "fused" with that world, which usually meant a century to wait. However, many leaders of the Order learned of a ritual that would allow the One King to arrive much quicker. Because of this, the worlds within the Infinity began to diminish quickly, giving the One King an incredible amount of power. He arrives in Sieg's world towards the end of the game, acting as the Final Boss.
- Big Bad Duumvirate: With Valfred.
- Chess Motifs: Represents the king. The monsters in his dungeon are all patterned after chess pieces.
- The Faceless: His helmet covers half of his face.
- Hopeless Boss Fight: The first battle with him is this.
- Light Is Not Good: His design resembles a Knight in Shining Armor
- Not So Invincible After All: At first the heroes could barely scratch him due to the protection from True Chronicle, but once they use the power of twelve chronicles, they can dampen that protection.
- One-Winged Angel: He is fought in three forms.
- Rewriting Reality: Turns out the One King has rewritten the True Chronicles of many worlds, eventually leading to his appearances in said worlds and destroy them.
- Tragic Monster: During the ending it is revealed that the One King is a former Tenkai Star who used the lives of his allies to kill the previous One King (a method that was considered, but rejected by Sieg). Presumably, he continues to destroy worlds in hopes that a Tenkai Star will be able to kill him using another method.
Other characters
The royalty
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing:
- The Mage Lord Danash VIII himself who is introduce to Sieg as a kind and generous ruler, is later revealed to be a Manipulative Bastard who like pitting people or groups against each other in order to make them compete for his approval and, therefore contribute more to the Magedom. Which is why The Empress Consorts have deep hatred for each other.
- Sairah. At first, she seems the nicest of the three Consorts, until she uses the Blades and the Company as bait in an attack, with the goal that they'll take most of the damage and her own Mage Corps will get all the glory.
- Ret-Gone: Danash, alongside his three wives and the rest of the Magedom of Janam, is wipped out by a world fusion caused by Valfred.
Danash VIII
The eighth Mage Lord of the Magedom of Janam, and father of Shams and Manaril. He is a very cunning individual, using tricks when necessary to increase his country's power, though he hides this cunning personality by acting kind and generous.
