!!Ryner Lute/[[spoiler:Felna Lieutolu]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ryner_5647.png]]
-> Voiced by: Creator/JunFukuyama (JP), Creator/IanSinclair (EN)

The main character of the story. He looks like a lazy guy, but is actually the strongest magician in his country. He is going on a journey to search for [[ArtifactOfDoom Heroes' Relic]] by Sion's order.
----
* AccidentalPervert: Unintentionally ends up in a bed with Ferris. You can imagine how well she took it.
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: In the anime, he's a bit more openly angsty and suicidal, compared to the light novels where he was more desensitized to all the crap that he/other Cursed Eye bearers go through or, on occasion, simply didn't even brood on his situation versus in the anime.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer
* AmnesiacHero: See LaserGuidedAmnesia.
* AntiHero: He can be rather cynical and apathetic, having already mostly given up on the world by the start of the series.
* AppendageAssimilation: [[spoiler:Using a spell, Lieral gives Ryner his own arm to replace the arm Ryner lost thanks to Lir.]]
* AnArmAndALeg: Loses his arms thanks to Lir, but he gets better relatively soon after with [[spoiler:Lieral]]'s help.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Entirely by accident. After beating Quont, Quont's subordinates immediately starting deferring to him.
* AuthorityInNameOnly: [[spoiler:Despite being one of the kings of Sphelliyet, he's more of a figurehead than anything]].
* AwesomenessByAnalysis
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Has these moments with [[VitriolicBestBuds Ferris and Sion]].
* BackToBackBadasses: With Ferris in Episode 11.
* BadDreams: After meeting Lucile, he has one regarding his forgotten past.
* {{Badass}}
** BadassBoast: His SuperpoweredEvilSide has a sinister one.
--> ''"First comes destruction. I bring forth nothing. I bless nothing. I save nothing. I just erase. Completely."''
** BadassBookworm
** BadassCape
** BadassFamily: [[spoiler:Just look at his parents!]]
** BadassInDistress: [[spoiler:When captured by the Remurus Empire]].
** BadassOnPaper: See ShroudedInMyth below.
** BreakTheBadass: Lucile did a mild form of this during their first meeting, and Ryner briefly flips out in his fight with Lir, after witnessing [[spoiler:the slaughter of the Cursed Eye bearers]].
* BerserkButton: Every time he's gone berserk (or nearly has) has been because he witnessed the slaughter of his friends.
* BigBrotherMentor: A mild version to Arua, who looks up to him as a teacher.
* BlessedWithSuck: His abilities as [[spoiler:The Solver of All Equations]], as he can [[spoiler:become an even bigger PersonOfMassDestruction, at the cost of the life of someone important to him]]. Understandably, Ryner vows never to use that power again.
* {{Bookworm}}
* BornWinner: Though it's noted that he's still a magic genius even putting his Alpha Stigma aside, and he did go through TrainingFromHell.
* BoxedCrook: A light-hearted version, given that Sion wouldn't actually execute him and had been hoping to get him out of prison all this time, but see AnOfferYouCantRefuse.
* BrainsAndBrawn: Brains to Ferris's brawn. Not that Ferris is unintelligent, but on their journey for Heroes' Relics, it's Ryner who's the information expert, while Ferris is just there to keep him in line/provide muscle support.
* BreakHisHeartToSaveHim: Ditches Sion and Ferris while operating on this logic, knowing that being by the side of an Alpha Stigma bearer like him is dangerous (and, to Sion, a burden as a ruler). They chew him out for it afterwards and convince him that this was a stupid move on his part.
* BreakTheCutie: His childhood.
* BrilliantButLazy: Manages to create a flawless magic barrier to prevent sleep disturbance.
* BrokenBird: He eventually gets better, but until then, he's a cynical JerkWithAHeartOfGold who has severe attachment issues.
* BullyingADragon: Fortunately for the people of Ryner's past, he was too much of a pacifist to really fight back.
* ButtMonkey
* BystanderSyndrome: He's let two dangerous beings rampage around without concern, was content to watch Toale get beaten up by thugs until it concerned him, etc.
* CameBackStrong: [[spoiler:After Lir gouges out his eyes, his powers as the Solver of All Equations awaken]].
* CatchPhrase: "This sucks" or some variation thereof, particularly in the episode previews.
--> '''Ryner:''' "This su--"
--> '''Kiefer:''' "If you say this sucks, I'm beating you up."
* CelibateHero: Very much uninterested in relationships, given his past and circumstances. He struggles enough with non-romantic ones as it is.
* ChickMagnet
* AChildShallLeadThem: [[spoiler:As the Demon King of Sphelliyet]].
* ChildSoldier: Was one.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Pia, Peria, and Milk.
* ColdBloodedTorture: He's been through this in the past.
* CombatPragmatist: Doesn't hesitate to go for a GroinAttack in one fight. He didn't actually hit it, but it's the thought that counts.
* CosmicPlaything
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass
* CursedWithAwesome
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Officially, his hair and eyes are black, as with all Cursed Eye bearers.
* DarkAndTroubledPast
* DarkIsNotEvil: The outfit he wears while in the Remurus Empire, [[spoiler:contrasting with Sion's LightIsNotGood]].
* DeadpanSnarker
* DeathSeeker: Generally, he doesn't actively try to get himself killed, but he has his moments.
* DefusingTheTykebomb: While one himself, he did this for [[HitmanWithAHeart Biore Mente]] in the past, albeit with tragic results.
* DespairEventHorizon: Ryner finds it interesting that he just can't seem to cross this, no matter how much crap happens.
* [[spoiler:DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Did you just kill Alpha, Ryner?]]
* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:After Lieral stabs him]].
* DoomMagnet: Believes himself to be this, which is why he generally tries to keep his distance from people. He's not entirely wrong either.
* DrivenToMadness: He's had this attempted on him, though without success.
* EasilyForgiven: After running off with [[AxCrazy Tiir]], though Sion does chew him out for it in the novels.
* EnemyWithin: Both subverted and played straight. [[spoiler: The three inhabitants of his mind are 1. an EldritchAbomination bent on destruction, 2. the Solver of All Equations, who may be even more of an EldritchAbomination but is a [[NonIronicClown nice guy]].....and 3. his mother. They all get [[EnemyWithout taken]] [[SplitPersonalityMerge care]] [[SelfSacrificeScheme of]].]]
* [[spoiler:EnemyWithout]]
* EtTuBrute: [[spoiler:One of his first friends turned on him after he was revealed to be an Alpha Stigma bearer, despite the fact that he just saved her life. With Sion, on the other hand--rather than react negatively, Ryner simply decides to chase after him and figure out whatever he's hiding]].
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Even a male ''child'', at that.
* TheExile: [[spoiler:After Sion tries to kill him, he's labeled a criminal--for real--and forced to flee Roland with Ferris. Over ten volumes later, though, he ''finally'' returns.]]
* ExpectingSomeoneTaller: After becoming the Greatest Magician in Roland--the one who beat the previous holder and won that title is only thirteen? Seriously?
* [[spoiler:EyeScream: See below]].
* EyesAreUnbreakable: As he found out the hard way when he tried to gouge out his own eyes with a knife. [[spoiler:In the end, though, Lir gouges them out]].
* FailureToSaveMurder: All the time.
* FashionableAsymmetry: The Hidden Elites' uniform.
* AFateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:If Sion, as the Hero, devours him, he'll suffer for all of eternity without being able to die.]]
* FingerlessGloves: Part of his uniform as a Hidden Elite.
* [[spoiler:GainingTheWillToKill]]
* GladHesOnOurSide: The Nelphan soldiers express this upon learning that he's an Alpha Stigma bearer.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom
* GoodIsNotNice: He can veer into this territory at his worst.
* GuiltComplex: Between his [[HeroicSelfDeprecation lack of self-esteem]] and being a DoomMagnet, he tends to blame himself when people die/are hurt around him.
* HatesBeingAlone: As noted by Lafra. Half of Ryner wants to not hurt anyone and therefore pushes people away, while the other half is desperate for companionship.
* HeCleansUpNicely: When he wears formal clothing and has his hair tied, he looks ''great''. Subverted however in that rather than be in awe, Ferris just pokes fun at how out of character it is for Ryner to not look like he just rolled out of bed for once.
* HeartbrokenBadass
* HeavySleeper
* HeroicNeutral: While he's on Sion's side, he doesn't care much about the conflict going on at first.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Let's face it: his self-esteem is horrible.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Sion.
* HurtingHero
* IAmAMonster
* IAmWhatIAm: Eventually, he decides to accept that he's a 'monster' and that if he is one, he at least wants to be a useful one.
* IAmWho: [[spoiler:The Solver of All Equations, aka half of the Lonesome Demon]].
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Until--with a ''lot'' of effort--he decides that he might as well be abnormal, if it lets him accomplish his goals.
* ILetGwenStacyDie: [[spoiler:Biore, his academy friends, Lafra, etc.]]
* IdentityAmnesia: Has no memories of his origins.
* IdiotHair
* IllKillYou: Says this to Lir. Considering Ryner's ThouShaltNotKill policy, you know he's ''really'' pissed off.
* InstantExpert: Justified. Can learn any magic instantly using his [[MagicalEye Alpha Stigma]].
* InternalizedCategorism: He's come to see himself as the monster everyone says he is by the start of the series, and it takes him a ''long'' time before he finally accepts that he isn't.
* IronButtMonkey: He suffers a lot of abuse at the hands of the female cast. Mainly Ferris's.
* IronicEcho: At the beginning of the series, Sion holds his hand out and asks Ryner, who's given up on the world, to join him. [[spoiler:Much later, showing just how far he's come, Ryner returns the favour in Remurus's tower, and then does the same thing again for Tiir, who's given up on humans]].
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler:Telling Ferris everything that Lucile had told him in confidence]] is kind of a dick-ish move, but given that Lucile's worse and had done worse to Ryner, Ryner can probably be forgiven for it.
* KnightInSourArmor
* KungFuWizard
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Can't remember the first five years of his life. [[spoiler:This is due to Lieral erasing his memories before abandoning him]].
* LaughingMad: When he's gone berserk.
* LazyBum
* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: Fights with Ferris so much that Sion notes that they have a good relationship, which they'll deny when they aren't referring to each other as their partner.
* [[LittleMissBadass Little Mister Badass]]: You know how he's the Greatest Magician in Roland? He won that title when he was thirteen. And that's only one of numerous moments throughout his childhood.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Somewhat of one for Kiefer, who can function just fine without him around but also makes it clear that she can't live in a world without him. He--or rather, the memory of him--also used to be one for Milk.
* LonelyTogether: While he and Ferris have other companions (and in fact met each other through a mutual friend aka Sion), their relationship has undertones of this.
* MagicalEye
* ManlyTears: Given how desensitized he is to most of the crap that the world throws at him, when he cries, it's probably for a very good reason.
* MessianicArchetype: [[spoiler:Being one half of the Lonesome Demon, he's expected to be devoured by the Hero in order to save the world from the Goddesses and meet a FateWorseThanDeath.]]
* MessyHair: Constant bedhead.
* NeutralNoLonger: Eventually, he decides to stand up and fight, especially after [[spoiler:Lafra's death]].
* NeverBeHurtAgain: A large part of why he's so unmotivated and tends to push people away.
* NoSocialSkills: Can't be polite and tactful to save his life most of the time, even when he tries. Considering his past, that's not much of a surprise.
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:When Lir gouges out his eyes, thanks to not being your run-of-the-mill Alpha Stigma bearer]].
* NotSoAboveItAll: As much as he may snark at [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Ferris]], he can be just as odd as her at times, especially if it has to do with making Sion miserable.
* NotSoWeak: Won't fight back at the academy and has a reputation for both laziness and incompetence, but when Sion and Kiefer are about to be killed by the magic knights... well, you can't say they learned not to taunt and abuse captives like that.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Being an [[MagicalEye Alpha Stigma]] bearer, he can analyze all magic with just one look. But because of not wanting anyone to know that he's one, he just prefers to get hit directly with Kiefer's magic.
* ObliviousToLove: Subverted. He's aware of Kiefer's feelings for him, but pretends to be oblivious to avoid breaking her heart.
* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Find the heroes' relics or get executed.
* OmnicidalManiac: Whenever the Alpha Stigma goes active, it attempts to destroy everything. It's pretty good at it, too.
* OneManArmy
* OnlySaneMan
* OrphansOrdeal: He may not remember them for a large portion of the series, but [[spoiler:when he finally remembers them and ends up losing them almost immediately after, it's hard to blame the guy for being upset]].
* OurHeroIsDead: [[spoiler:After Lieral stabs him]].
* ParentalAbandonment: [[spoiler:His father--that is, Lieral--had to abandon him for his own sake. As for his mother, the short version is that she's somewhat dead and eventually becomes flat out dead later on]].
* PerpetualPoverty: He's dead broke, thanks to Ferris.
* PersonOfMassDestruction
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Blue Boy to Ferris's Pink Girl, with their first outfits.
* PitifulWorms: His SuperPoweredEvilSide will refer to humans as such.
* PowerAtAPrice: [[spoiler:He can unleash massive destruction, but only at the cost of someone he loves.]]
* PowerCopying
* PowerIncontinence: Suffers from this both as an Alpha Stigma bearer and with his [[spoiler:Solver of All Equations]] power.
* PowerStrainBlackout: Subverted, in that Ryner falls unconscious for several days after [[spoiler:his true power awakens--but it was actually Lieral forcing him to sleep, knowing that Ryner's GuiltComplex would be kicking in after the battle]].
* PreMortemOneLiner: If Ryner in any form says something along the lines of ''"Analyze/terminate existence"'', you know you're screwed.
* ThePromise: Makes two within the span of one day--the first with Lafra to save the God's Eyes bearers and the other with Ferris. See under her section for the second one.
* [[spoiler:RageAgainstTheHeavens]]
* RageBreakingPoint: He does his best not to lose control, knowing that [[SuperpoweredEvilSide bad]] [[UnstoppableRage things]] [[OmnicidalManiac happen]], but unfortunately for him, people tend to actively push his buttons.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Deals one to Tiir (and the God's Eyes bearers as a whole) in hopes of finally getting him to accept humans. It actually works.
* RedBaron: Earned the title of Greatest Magician in Roland. Was later known as [[spoiler:the Demon King]]. Eventually, the Cursed Eye bearers proclaim him their king as well, at which point Ryner even comments on how he's getting an awful lot of prestigious titles.
* RedEyesTakeWarning
* RefusalOfTheCall: He'd rather stay in prison than help Sion out, thank you.
* [[spoiler:{{Reincarnation}}: Of half of the Lonesome Demon. Sort of. It's complicated]].
* ReluctantWarrior
* RememberThatYouTrustMe: As part of his CharacterDevelopment. It's not always intentional on his part, though; he doesn't necessarily realize when he's being distant.
* SaveTheVillain: He saves [[spoiler:Sui and Kuu]] from Froaude, since enemy or not, he just doesn't like killing.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: With Ferris.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Had a reputation among the Hidden Elites for insubordination for this reason.
* SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan: See EnemyWithin above.
* SelectiveObliviousness: Zohra outright tells him that [[spoiler:Sion resumed the human experimentation]] after Germer already warned Ryner that [[spoiler:Roland wasn't as peaceful as it seemed]], but he refuses to believe it and instead finds alternative explanations. [[spoiler:Granted, it helps that Sion's a good liar]].
* SelfMadeOrphan: [[spoiler:Awakening his true power involved having to sacrifice his mother's life--a fact that Ryner doesn't learn until later, much to his horror.]]
* SharedFamilyQuirks: [[spoiler:A magic genius like his father, as well as his BystanderSyndrome]].
* ShellShockedVeteran: It takes a long time for him to get better.
* ShroudedInMyth: After [[spoiler:his true powers awaken]] during the battle between Gastark and Geihlficlant, [[ManipulativeBastard Vois]] inflates Ryner's reputation as much as he can by spreading a multitude of rumours. Some of them are close enough to the truth, while some of them Vois was probably having fun with.
* TheSlacker
* {{Sleepyhead}}
* SmallStepsHero: Compared to the likes of Sion and Riphal, Ryner generally isn't very good at thinking of the bigger picture, instead focusing on the smaller groups here and now.
* [[spoiler:SoleSurvivor: Along with Sion and Kiefer, after the Estabul Magic Knights slaughtered the rest of their class]].
* [[spoiler:SplitPersonalityMerge]]
* StraightMan: To a number of people, but most predominantly Ferris.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: [[spoiler:While he inherited his mother's hair and eye colours, his face is practically the spitting image of Lieral's]].
* SuicideByCop: In the anime, he chooses to die by Luke's hands, before Ferris stops him.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide
* SurvivorGuilt
* SwordAndSorcerer: Sorcerer to Ferris's sword.
* TalkingDownTheSuicidal: He did this for Milk in the past.
* TechnicalPacifist
* ThinkNothingOfIt: No point in giving his name when he's a Hidden Elite, having Toale repay him would be too troublesome, etc.
* ThouShaltNotKill: [[spoiler:He's ultimately forced to break this policy when up against Alpha, knowing that to destroy it, others will be caught in the crossfire]].
* TokenGoodTeammate: Back when with the Hidden Elites.
* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:After he awakens as the Solver of All Equations.]]
* TraumaCongaLine: His entire life, really.
* {{Tsundere}}: He... isn't too good at handling affection from others.
* TykeBomb
* UnbrokenVigil: After the battle between Gastark and Geihlficlant and he falls unconscious, Kiefer and Ferris both watch over him until they end up collapsing from exhaustion (at which point Toale takes over).
* UnstoppableRage: Whenever his Alpha Stigma goes out of control.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Ferris and Sion.
* [[spoiler:WackyParentSeriousChild: [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents Lieral]] tends to be about as light-hearted as they come. And then we have [[OnlySaneMan Ryner]]...]]
* WarIsHell: Makes it very clear that he believes this.
* WhatTheHellHero: Milk's reaction to Ryner (and Ferris) choosing to leave behind the rampaging dragon they just summoned, because hey, as far as they're concerned, it's not their problem!
* WillfullyWeak
* WithFriendsLikeThese: He, Ferris, and Sion routinely blackmail/threaten to kill/attack one another. Doesn't stop them from being best friends, though.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: By virtue of being an Alpha Stigma bearer, whenever he goes berserk. When sane, though, [[ThouShaltNotKill not so much]].
* WouldHitAGirl
* WouldHurtAChild: Has no problems with knocking Iris out to get her to be quiet.
* YouAreNotAlone: Eventually comes to realize this.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: [[spoiler:After becoming a Roland fugitive. It's not until several volumes later that, after repairing his relationship with Sion, he and Ferris can finally return to Roland.]]

!!Ferris Eris
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ferris_9423.png]]
-> Voiced by: Creator/AyahiTakagaki (JP), Creator/LuciChristian (EN)

A swordswoman with superhuman speed. Because Sion threatened to destroy the dango shop near her place, she's now traveling with Ryner.
----
* AbsurdlySharpBlade
* [[spoiler:AbusiveParents]]
* ActionGirl
* AntiHero
* [[spoiler:ArchnemesisDad: In the ''Salty Dango'' short story, where her dad orchestrates the death of her first friend.]]
* AttemptedRape: Was almost raped by [[spoiler:her [[ParentalIncest parents]]]].
* AttractiveBentGender: When she dresses up as a male, cue adoration from the ladies (compared to a crossdressing Ryner, who just gets weird looks from everyone).
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Ryner and Sion aside, she has a somewhat different version of this with Lucile, whom she often appears wary of but ultimately does love as her brother.
* BackToBackBadasses: With Ryner in Episode 11.
* BadassAdorable: The {{Badass}} part is obvious. As for the adorable part, she has her moments, particularly when she's being OneOfTheKids.
* BadassFamily: Hails from one.
* BadassNormal: In a world where people either spam [[FantasticNuke Rule Fragment]] in sword fights or have hit the SuperpowerLottery HARD, she can still hold her own pretty well with most of them.
* BareYourMidriff
* TheBeautifulElite: Her family, being nobles, highly competent fighters, and constantly described as beautiful. [[spoiler:The whole incest thing might have to do with that last one]].
* BeingWatched: While trying to detect other presences is something common to all the combat-oriented characters, Ferris is particularly good at sensing when Lucile is around.
* {{BFS}}
* {{Bifauxnen}}: See AttractiveBentGender.
* BigDamnHeroes: Does this for both Ryner and Sion at some point or another.
* BigEater
* BigScrewedUpFamily
* BigSisterBully: On occasion. [[BigSisterWorship Not that Iris minds]].
* [[BigBrotherInstinct Big Sister Instinct]]: She might not be the nicest sister, but when push comes to shove, she's very protective of Iris.
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The blonde to Milk's brunette and Kiefer's redhead.
* BlueBlood
* BrainsAndBrawn: The Brawn to Ryner's Brain during their journey for Heroes' Relics.
* BreakTheCutie: Her entire childhood.
* BrokenBird
* BrutalHonesty
* BystanderSyndrome: Same attitude as Ryner.
* [[CantHoldHisLiquor Can't Hold Her Liquor]]
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She's...unique at times.
* CryCute: Does this a few times.
* CryIntoChest: First into Ryner's, when she [[spoiler:finds him again after being told by Sion that he killed him]] and again in Lucile's after they finally reconcile.
* DangerouslyShortSkirt
* DarkAndTroubledPast
* DeadpanSnarker
* DefrostingIceQueen
* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler:Had they succeeded, her parents raping her]] would have been this, hence why Lucile was so determined to stop it.
* {{Determinator}}: Should Ryner go missing? Ferris will never give up on searching for him, even if [[spoiler:she's been told that he's dead]]. And Ryner goes missing a ''lot''.
* DoomMagnet: [[spoiler:As far as the Eris clan is considered, anything like 'friends' is a hindrance. Ferris learned that lesson well after they killed off her first friend and likely stopped trying afterwards, hence why she's not quite as bad as Ryner or Sion in this regard.]]
* EmotionlessGirl
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Namely, the princess of Runa.
* TheExile: [[spoiler:Along with Ryner, after Sion cuts off ties with them.]]
* ExtremeDoormat: When she was younger, what with the lack of emotions. [[spoiler:Her parents' deaths was presumably the end of that]].
* FingerlessGloves
* AFriendInNeed: Though it takes a while, it does get through to Ryner that no, Ferris will ''never'' turn her back on him, no matter what happens.
* FriendlessBackground
* GenderBlenderName
* HatesBeingAlone: Once she's properly introduced to this whole friendship idea, she begins to hate being by herself. It doesn't help that all of the people closest to her, sans Iris, have this bad habit of shutting others out.
* HeartbrokenBadass: Very slightly compared to other examples, being an EmotionlessGirl, but it's hinted that she does mourn the death of [[spoiler:her first friend]] somewhat.
* HeyYou: Refuses to refer to Kiefer by name for a long while.
* IWillFindYou: Should Ryner go missing, then (barring his BadassInDistress moment), Ferris ''will'' chase him down and find him.
* ImplausibleFencingPowers
* IneffectualLoner: She actually ''refuses'' to be this, what with all the males in her life--Ryner, Sion, and Lucile--having elements of this. She knows just how much it hurts to not be depended on.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: As a few characters note, she may be a beauty, but her personality (towards anyone, though Ryner gets the lion's share of her {{Tsundere}} tendencies) isn't quite as attractive.
* KillTheOnesYouLove: [[spoiler:Ryner makes her promise that if he ever goes berserk again, she'll be the one to kill him]].
* LadyOfWar
* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: With Ryner.
* LittleMissBadass: Like many characters, she's been a competent fighter since she was young. [[spoiler:Given what her family was like, though, it still wasn't enough.]]
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: To Lucile. To a lesser extent, she's also one for Ryner, who admits that he wouldn't want to live in a world without her.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Lucile, just ''tell'' her about what you did to protect her.
* LonelyTogether: See Ryner's section.
* LoveMakesYouDumb: In a cruel subversion of UnstoppableRage, she tries to kill [[SuperpowerLottery Lieral]] [[spoiler:in revenge for the [[DisneyDeath currently dead]] Ryner]] despite knowing that she doesn't stand a chance. He easily knocks her out.
* LovingBully: Towards Ryner.
* MadeOfIron
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: A slight case in the first part for Ryner, who admits that as troublesome as it was, going on a journey with her and dealing with her [[CloudCuckoolander antics]] was actually kind of fun.
* MusclesAreMeaningless: While she's known for her speed in particular, she's one of the hardest hitters around, swinging a {{BFS}} with no problems in spite of being so slender.
* NoSocialSkills: [[spoiler:The inevitable result when you can literally count on little more than one hand the number of people she'd spoken to before her parents' deaths]].
* NotSoStoic: Primarily where her loved ones are concerned.
* OneHandedZweihander: At times.
* OneOfTheKids: She's odd enough on her own as it is, but Iris seems to have been her primary companion while growing up, and if Ferris isn't bothering Sion or Ryner, she's probably hanging out with her (and Arua and Kuku).
* OneWomanArmy: Downplayed, however, in that when she fends off an army to give Ryner time to cast his spell, she ends up badly wounded in the process.
* ParentalAbandonment: [[spoiler:They're dead, courtesy of Lucile]].
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Pink Girl to Ryner's Blue Boy, with their first outfits.
* PinkMeansFeminine: Her initial outfits, though she eventually shifts to [[TrueBlueFemininity blue outfits]] instead.
* {{Protectorate}}: For a certain KnightTemplarBigBrother.
* ThePromise: See [[spoiler:KillTheOnesYouLove]], made for the sake of giving him the courage to exist alongside others. She also makes one with [[spoiler:Lieral]] to [[spoiler:kill the demon in Ryner, at the cost of her life, if he ever loses the will to move forward]].
* [[spoiler:RapeAsBackstory: AttemptedRape, at least]].
* RapunzelHair
* SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining
* SarcasticDevotee
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: With Ryner, despite being an EmotionlessGirl.
* ScrewTheRulesImBeautiful
* SeriousBusiness: All hail the Dango God.
* ShutUpHannibal: Her response to Lir pointing out that no matter what Ferris thinks, the rest of the world hates Ryner.
* TheSpock: More so when she was ten, what with having NoSocialSkills, but she still has shades of it as an adult.
* TheStoic
* SugarAndIcePersonality
* SwordAndSorcerer: Sword to Ryner's sorcerer.
* ThickerThanWater: See AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Girly Girl to Kiefer's Tomboy. Or rather, that's how Kiefer sees it, though their dynamic's a bit more complicated than that: while Ferris is more feminine in appearance and cares more about fashion than practicality compared to Kiefer, Kiefer tends to be more demure and gentle (i.e. more stereotypically feminine) in personality.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: A borderline GirlyBruiser (though somewhat more tomboy-ish than Pia), she's a tough, combat-happy ActionGirl who's more likely to punch something than brood, but is quite feminine otherwise.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Loves dango.
* {{Tritagonist}}
* TrueBlueFemininity: Her later outfit.
* {{Tsundere}}/{{Kuudere}}
* TykeBomb: [[spoiler:A non-military example, unlike most of the other characters. Rather, you can thank her family for this]].
* UndyingLoyalty: Towards Ryner, which [[spoiler:Lieral]] most definitely notices.
* TheUnfavourite: [[spoiler:Though it had less to do with her parents favouring Lucile and more to do with her (and Iris) not living up to the family standards]].

-> Voiced by: Creator/DaisukeOno (JP), Creator/EricVale (EN)

The King of Roland. He was once in the same school as Ryner and Kiefer. He is now working hard to rebuild his country that has been corrupted by the nobles. He has Lucile as his bodyguard. [[spoiler:He's actually the vessel of The Mad Hero, Roland's first King and constantly in danger of being berserk.]]
----
* AllLovingHero: Or at least he tries. [[spoiler:See DarkMessiah below, however]].
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: He was tormented horribly by his half-siblings while growing up.
* AntiHero: He very much ''means'' well, but also understands that he lives in a world where idealism doesn't get you very far.
* [[spoiler:AntiVillain: After he and Ryner end up on different sides]].
* ArchnemesisDad: His father, during the revolution.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Need it be said with whom?
* BewareTheNiceOnes
* [[spoiler:BigBadFriend: After a long journey, this gets subverted, with Sion rejoining Ryner and the two allying in order to defeat the PowersThatBe.]]
* {{Bishonen}}
* BitchInSheepsClothing: When around his friends, PlayedForLaughs. There's a reason Ferris and Ryner constantly threaten to kill him.
* BreakTheCutie: Yep, his childhood too.
* BrokenAce
* ByronicHero
* CelibateHero: Like Ryner, he'd rather avoid romance.
* TheChainsOfCommanding: A ''major'' source of angst on his part.
* TheChessmaster
* AChildShallLeadThem
* TheChosenOne: Though not by any god or prophecy, but by [[TheChooserOfTheOne Lucile]], eligible by virtue of being a descendant of the royal family.
* CombatPragmatist: More of the leader variety than a personal fighter.
* CosmicPlaything
* CynicismCatalyst: See ILetGwenStacyDie below. While they don't define his motivations, they make him that much more determined to change things.
* DarkAndTroubledPast
* [[spoiler:DarkMessiah: What with this being a CrapsackWorld, he's forced to become this]].
* DeadpanSnarker
* DealWithTheDevil: In order to become king, he had to agree to Lucile's demands. There's a reason Ferris warned Sion--both at the beginning and again at the end of his revolution--that that was a ''bad'' idea.
* {{Deuteragonist}}
* DoomMagnet: Simply put, his half-brothers were out to make sure his life was utterly miserable.
* EasilyForgiven: Most of the characters realize they live in a CrapsackWorld and so are willing to accept Sion's WellIntentionedExtremist tendencies. In particular, Sion's surprised at how easily [[spoiler:Toale forgives him for the slaughter of Nelpha]].
* [[spoiler:EnemyWithin]]
* [[spoiler:EvilAllAlong: Or rather, [[EvilAllAlong Even More of A Well-Intentioned Extremist Than Believed All Along]]. Ryner acknowledges that Sion was likely looking in a different direction than him from the very beginning]].
* [[spoiler:EvilFormerFriend: Eventually subverted. Sion's not ''evil'', just taking a different path to save the world--and one that ultimately leads him back to Ryner and Ferris either way.]]
* TheExtremistWasRight: As questionable as some of his methods were, he really did make Roland a better place, even if not as much as Ryner and Ferris thought.
* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: PlayedForLaughs. Ryner grumbles about how everyone's so quick to like Sion because he seems like such a cheerful, upstanding young man.
* FailureToSaveMurder: Not being able to help [[spoiler:his academy friends, who looked up to him as their leader]].
* FakeUltimateHero: While he's done many things to deserve being called a hero, he has occasionally received credit for things he didn't do, such as defeating the Estabul Magic Knights.
* TheGadfly: Just ask Ryner or Ferris.
* TheGoodKing: And his top subordinates are determined to ensure it stays this way. [[spoiler:'Good' is used loosely, though, as far as they're concerned, and certain characters (such as Zohra) would deny that Sion is this.]]
* GuileHero
* GuiltComplex: Being a king, he feels responsible for quite a bit.
* [[spoiler:HazyFeelTurn: After cutting off ties with Ryner and Ferris and starting his attempt to conquer the continent, he goes from being a PragmaticHero to either ''more'' of a PragmaticHero or a VillainProtagonist, but his goals haven't changed--just his methods. Several volumes later, he then repairs his friendship with Ryner and Ferris, pulling one of these again]].
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: A purge is the kind of thing a [[AristocratsAreEvil noble]] would do--but if it's necessary, Sion will do it.
* [[spoiler:HeelFaceRevolvingDoor]]
* HeroicBastard
* HeroOfAnotherStory: During those two years that we follow Ryner in prison, Sion was revolutionizing the country! Eventually subverted, though, as ''The Legend of the Fallen Dark Hero'' is dedicated to explaining what was happening during those two years.

* HurtingHero

* [[spoiler:NecessarilyEvil: Eventually becomes this]].
* TheNeedsOfTheMany: How he justifies his later actions--particularly the [[spoiler:slaughter of the Nelphan people, who are used to set an example]].
* NoHeroToHisValet: Ryner and Ferris don't quite see Sion as their king. To a lesser extent, his direct subordinates can be rather casual towards him as well, probably since they're the reason he even managed to become king.
* OrphansOrdeal: His mother's suicide forms a large part of his resentment towards the nobility and his desire to change the country.
* ParentalAbandonment: His father abandoned him and his mother died.
* [[spoiler:PastLifeMemories]]
* PragmaticHero
* RapunzelHair
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure
* [[spoiler:{{Reincarnation}}: Of the Mad Hero, though like with Ryner, it's more complicated than straight up reincarnation]].
* ReluctantWarrior: Being an AllLovingHero, he dislikes war. Being a WellIntentionedExtremist, starting them is somewhat of an inevitability.
* RememberThatYouTrustMe: Like Ryner, he's got a bad case of pushing others away. Unlike Ryner, though, Sion is better at keeping this trope in mind [[spoiler:after making amends with his friends]], contrary to Ferris and Ryner's occasional worry about him doing otherwise.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: In a short story, he comes close to this when he finally has the power to [[spoiler:avenge Fiole's death. What stops him is him knowing that Fiole wasn't the sort to wish for revenge, let alone for Sion to stain his hands in the process]].
* RoyalBlood
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething
* SadisticChoice: [[spoiler:Devour Ryner to save the world, at the cost of Ryner suffering AFateWorseThanDeath, or kill him so that a new Solver of All Equations can be born, whom Sion can devour instead]]. In the end, [[TakeAThirdOption Sion can't bring himself to do either]].

* ShootTheDog: As is standard for a WellIntentionedExtremist.
* [[spoiler:SoleSurvivor: Along with Ryner and Kiefer from their academy days]].

* WhiteHairBlackHeart: [[VitriolicBestBuds Ryner and Ferris]] would assure you that this most certainly applies to him, and though he has a good heart at the core of it all, he ''is'' capable of being quite the AntiHero and WellIntentionedExtremist if need be.
* TheWisePrince: Not being a noble born, Sion knows the hard life of the commoners.

-> Voiced by: Creator/TomokazuSugita (JP), Creator/JerryJewell (EN)

Sion's bodyguard. The head of the distinguished sword clan of Eris and Ferris and Iris' older brother. He [[spoiler:killed his parents]] to save Ferris and become the head. Due to the nature of his powers, he currently cannot step foot outside of Roland.
----
* TheAgeless
* AloofAlly: He'll help out Sion as part of his duties as his guard, but isn't exactly the most supportive ally (or above occasionally leaving Sion to fend for himself to prove his worth).
* AloofBigBrother
* AntiHero: Seems to have ended up somewhere in this spectrum.
* AntiMagic
* BadassFamily
* TheBeautifulElite
* BigDamnHeroes: He saves Ferris just before [[spoiler:Froaude]] kills her.
* BigScrewedUpFamily
* {{Bishonen}}
* BlessedWithSuck: One of the most powerful people around, but considering the price of it all... Well, at least [[LoveMakesYouCrazy it was worth it in his eyes]].
* BlondGuysAreEvil
* BlueBlood
* BreakThemByTalking: Does this to Ryner, though it doesn't last for long.
* BroughtDownToBadass: [[spoiler:After Remurus's interference, causing him to lose what he won from the SuperpowerLottery. Still an [[BadassFamily Eris]] though, not to mention the ancient magic Lieral gave him]].
* CallingTheOldManOut: [[spoiler:Right before he kills him.]]
* CannibalismSuperpower: [[spoiler:He can devour Goddesses to obtain their power]].
* CastFromLifespan: He can heal others' wounds by transferring his own life force.
* ChessmasterSidekick
* TheChooserOfTheOne: One of the Eris house's duties is to test the king [[spoiler:and see if he can handle the Mad Hero]].
* DarkAndTroubledPast
* DeclarationOfProtection: You get three guesses as to whom the {{Protectorate}} is and the first two don't count.
* DissonantSerenity
* [[DontTellMama Don't Tell Ferris]]: He really would rather Ferris be clueless to everything he's done to protect her.
* TheDreaded: Even among Sion's allies.
* EmotionlessBoy: Used to be one, and in a way, he's still one and even more so than Ferris.
* [[spoiler:EnemyWithin]]
* EnigmaticMinion: Somewhat of an in-universe example. Aside from Sion, nobody quite knows what Lucile's agenda is, but grudgingly accept his role as the king's guard mostly because no one can defeat him in any case.
* ExtremeDoormat: Like Ferris, he used to be one. Then she was born and [[KnightTemplarBigBrother he started to gain his own will]].
* EyesAlwaysShut
* FauxAffablyEvil
* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler:The [[BigScrewedUpFamily Eris household]] was not a nice place to grow up in. By his family's standards, which essentially demanded sociopathy, the most ''abnormal'' thing about Lucile is that he even developed any sense of humanity, thanks to Ferris]].
* TheGadfly: He's fond of teasing his sisters and Sion.
* GenderBlenderName
* HazyFeelTurn: After making amends with Ferris, he officially becomes Ryner's ally, albeit a very begrudging one.
* HealingFactor
* HealingShiv: He can summon one.
* [[spoiler:HorrorHunger: Thanks to the God Devourer curse in him]].
* [[spoiler:ImHavingSoulPains]]
* [[spoiler:InTheBlood: There's also the influence of the Eris Demon, making it more complicated than just genetics, but this would've been the case if Lucile/Relx hadn't gone above and beyond to defy this]].
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: What seems to be his real personality beneath his FauxAffablyEvil surface, even if the heart of gold applies mainly to Ferris.
* KnightTemplarBigBrother
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: [[spoiler:Lieral sealed away some of his memories, though Lucile eventually undoes the seal]].
* LaughingMad: When he [[spoiler:killed his father]].
* LoveMakesYouCrazy
* LoveMakesYouEvil
* MessianicArchetype: He's determined to be a martyr for his family, and on top of that, [[spoiler:being the other half of the Lonesome Demon, he's to meet the same fate as Ryner, as noted above in Ryner's section]].
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Not above invading Sion's, at least.
* NominalHero: He cares about... Ferris. That's pretty much it.
* NotSoStoic: As he's usually in complete control of the situation, he starts losing his cool whenever he ''isn't.''
* OneManArmy
* [[spoiler:PastLifeMemories]]
* PetTheDog: In spite of how... screwed up he is, he does have his moments with Ferris.
* PsychoticSmirk
* [[spoiler:{{Reincarnation}}: He's Ryner's other half]].
* SanitySlippage: [[spoiler:He was a rather screwed up and hollow child, but not exactly insane. Then he met Lieral, and things went downhill from there]].
* [[spoiler:SelfMadeOrphan]]
* ShroudedInMyth: As very few characters have actually met him, his existence is more of a rumour than anything. In his case, however, he really is as terrifying as the rumours state.
* TheSleepless
* SociopathicHero
* SoftSpokenSadist
* StealthHiBye
* StepfordSmiler: As Iris puts it, the fact that he's always smiling is pretty scary.
* StoryBreakerPower: Due to a variety of nullifying abilities, his HealingFactor, and ability to appear and disappear at will, he's nearly untouchable. That said, he has no reason to involve himself with anything unless it concerns Sion or Ferris.
* SubmissiveBadass
* SuperpowerLottery
* TearsOfBlood: [[spoiler:When meeting the Eris demon for the first time]].
* ToughLove: He's strict when it comes to his sisters' training--Iris complains that that's all Lucile ever wants her to do, and even [[TheStoic Ferris]] starts to sweat when Lucile suggests that she hasn't been training enough.
* TranquilFury: When attacking Froaude for trying to kill Ferris to the point where it's hard to tell if he's even angry (and he claims not to be, at least).
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: He was nicer as a kid, at least, but no less casual at the thought of killing others. [[spoiler:For starters, him plotting to kill his parents started several years before he actually did it]].
* TykeBomb
* TheUnfettered
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: His StealthHiBye tendencies or appearing as a disembodied voice. Ferris is entirely used to it by now, Sion eventually adjusts as well, and Ryner's left to wonder where the heck that voice is coming from.
* UnwittingPawn: Lieral's, though in a strange variation in that [[spoiler:he knew Lieral was manipulating him when he accepted his proposal, but doesn't remember for the next several years due to Lieral wiping his memory of their meeting]].
* UsedToBeASweetKid: Manages to combine this with TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior. Lieral even noted that back then that he seemed kind--and so he'd probably suffer for that.
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: Like brother, like sister. In his case, though, Lieral was the one who explained it to him.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity
* TheWorfEffect: Effortlessly beats most characters... except for Lieral, [[spoiler:Milk Ephillet]], and Remurus.

Sion's right hand man. Currently in the rank of Field Marshal. Has a romantic relationship with Lady Noa Ehn.
----
* AbusiveParents: His mother.
* [[spoiler:AntiVillain: After Ryner ends up against Roland. He'll massacre the Nelpha people as ordered, but is by no means happy about it and, to an extent, is willing to help Ryner out]].
* [[spoiler:AnArmAndALeg: Tiir rips off and devours his arm]].
* [[spoiler:ArtificialLimbs]]
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking
* [[spoiler:BadassTransplant: After obtaining ArtificialLimbs]].
* BastardUnderstudy: A heroic version towards Count Emirel who was, well, a douche, to put it lightly.
* BenevolentBoss: Is willing to die for his subordinates if need be. They're just as willing to die for ''him''.
* BestServedCold: [[spoiler:He waited just a bit too long--Luke beat him to it. He also fails to exact revenge against Tiir, who proceeds to do even worse and completely devour his arm this time]].
* TheBigGuy: Sion's strongman.
* BioAugmentation: [[spoiler:His mother was experimented on to produce a child like him, who is resistant to curses]].
* BoisterousBruiser
* ChildByRape: With him being the child, as his mother [[spoiler:was experimented on and raped--see BioAugmentation]].
* ChildSoldier: Much like many of the other characters, he basically grew up in the military.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Luke, though Claugh would deny it if you asked.
* ChivalrousPervert: Before meeting Noa, he's not above making the occasional lewd comment. Once Noa enters the picture, however, he's a gentleman.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: [[spoiler:His second arm comes with one]].
* DarkAndTroubledPast
* DarkSkinnedRedhead
* DeliberatelyCuteChild: Was one when young, seeing as how he couldn't just tell the Emirel Private Forces, "Hey, I know what you're up to and I want to kill you all."
* DissonantSerenity: He's had his moments, most prominently during the incident in which he met Luke.
* TheDreaded: It comes with being one of Roland's top and most reknowned soldiers.
* FieryRedhead
* FingerlessGloves: That he keeps destroying.
* {{Foil}}: To Luke. See Luke's section for more info.
* FourStarBadass: It's even noted on a few occasions that with his ranking, Claugh doesn't actually need to be on the front lines, but he chooses to be anyway.
* GeniusBruiser: While called a muscled idiot and the like by others, he's also a magic genius and was rather studious as a child.
* HeroicBastard
* HeterosexualLifePartners: He and Luke occasionally have shades of this, especially in ''The Legend of the Fallen Dark Hero'', though even in the main storyline, they tend to mention/think of each other often.
* HiddenWeapons: His Emirel Private Forces uniform involved many, as revealed in a design sketch, with most of them [[NothingUpMySleeve up his sleeves]].
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: As a child, thanks to his mother's dying words.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* KungFuWizard
* LadyAndKnight: The Knight to Noa's Lady. Lampshaded by her when she comments that the knight's duty is to save the DamselInDistress.
* [[LittleMissBadass Little Mister Badass]]: Effortlessly caught an arrow in mid-air--and he was ''five''. Despite being a kid with no training whatsoever, he was confident he could take down a group of bandits, and while we didn't get to see him try, that might not have been overconfidence on his part.
* MadeOfIron
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: [[spoiler:He doesn't necessarily like all of what Sion does, but he does understand his reasons for it and remains genuinely loyal in spite of it all. Subverted, though, in that, again, he does understand Sion's reason for it--and so if Sion ever stops behaving reasonably, then this trope may no longer apply.]]
* NothingUpMySleeve: See HiddenWeapons.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Back during his days with the Emirel Private Forces.
* OneManArmy
* OrphansOrdeal: See ParentalAbandonment. He was also determined to validate his mother's existence by proving that he was a "special child" as she'd claimed.
* TheParagon: During the revolution, he managed to inspire much of the enemy forces to believe that Roland could truly change and to defect to his side. Points for making it a (would-be) dying speech too.
* ParentalAbandonment: His mother was killed when he was young, prompting him to spend a large portion of his life plotting to kill the Emirel Private Forces in revenge.
* PowerTattoo
* RedBaron: Crimson Finger Claugh. [[spoiler:Later, The Black Hand Death God]].
* RescueRomance: With Noa.
* {{Revenge}}: Plotted this against Count Emirel as a child. In the present, he intends to exact revenge against Tiir for wrecking his arm in the past.
* ReverseMole: His intentions by staying with the Emirel Private Forces, though it's brought to an end once Emirel dies.
* RightHandOfDoom: His magic.
* SavedByCanon: Appears to die in ''The Legend of the Fallen Dark Hero'', which takes place before the main series, but given that he's still up and kicking...
* SempaiKohai: He's Calne's ''senpai'', having been a member of the Emirel Private Forces for longer than him and his superior in fighting.
* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:Of Rei Stokkart's experiment when he was five, along with Luke]].
* SuperSoldier
* SupportingLeader: During the climax of the revolution, while Sion was dealing with the king, it was Claugh out at the frontlines, dealing with the majority of the actual warfare.
* TerrorHero: A Type 3. He likes to scare his opponents into surrendering by using his reputation or demonstrating ''why'' he has such a reputation.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: He was bit ''too'' casual as a child about the idea of killing others.
* {{Tsundere}}: He shows a bit of this towards Luke, exemplified during their reunion where he was slightly glad to see that Luke had survived... and then annoyed over being glad.
* TykeBomb
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Calne. Additionally, while he and Luke don't get to interact much in the present, they were this while growing up--understandable, seeing as how it's [[TheGadfly Luke]].
* WouldHurtAChild: Had no problems with beating up the then 10-year-old Calne and spared him primarily because Calne could be useful.

* BestServedCold: Like Claugh above, he tried--but not only did Claugh beat him in the fight for the 'right' to kill their mutual target, [[spoiler:Luke beat them both anyway]].

* CantActPervertedTowardALoveInterest
* TheCasanova
* ChildSoldier: Same story as Claugh.
* DistressedDude: [[spoiler:He's eventually captured by the Remurus Empire]].

* InsecureLoveInterest: See above.
* LadyKillerInLove: He falls for Eslina.
* LetsGetDangerous: One of Sion's more light-hearted allies, but still competent when he gets serious.

* [[spoiler:GoOutWithASmile: In the novels, as he's reassured by the thought that his sister will be fine in a country where Sion is the king]].

* [[spoiler:KillTheCutie]]

* NiceGirl
* ParentalAbandonment
* PluckyGirl
* TheReliableOne: Like brother, like sister.
* TheStoic: Not as a whole--she's generally fairly cheerful--but she's noted to have cried ''very'' few times in her entire life, and even potentially devastating news might not appear to move her, to the point where Sion initially thinks her attitude to be impossible. She's really just that strong.
* {{Tsundere}}: Towards Calne.

----

* FamousAncestor: Ironically, the Holy Knight Miran.
* FauxAffablyEvil

* HairColorDissonance: In the anime, where his hair appears blue but is officially black.

* LongHairedPrettyBoy

----
* AttemptedRape: What her attackers had in mind for her.
* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: Attempts this at one point, but her attackers stop her.
* BuxomIsBetter: Not within the series itself, but a joke 4koma suggests this from [[ACupAngst Milk]].
* AChildShallLeadThem
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
* DamselInDistress: Captured by Froaude.
* DamselOutOfDistress: In her first captive moment, rather than have Claugh fight to save her and risk his death, she instead convinces Froaude on her own to spare her life.
* EtTuBrute: [[spoiler:After everything goes wrong for her, another bomb is dropped on her: her closest confidant is a traitor and the one responsible for all this]].
* TheGadfly: Just watch her troll Claugh.
* HeroesWantRedheads: Sort of.
* LadyAndKnight: The Lady to Claugh's Knight.

-> Voiced by: SakiFujita (JP), Creator/JamieMarchi (EN)

A girl from the same orphanage as Ryner. Now the captain of the Taboo Breaker Pursuit Squadron, she's under orders to apprehend Ryner. [[spoiler:She's also the reincarnation of a Goddess. See Milk Ephillet below]].
----
* ACupAngst: In a joke 4koma, it's implied that she's jealous of Noa's rather large bust.
* AbusiveParents: Her noble foster parents are not exactly nice people.
* ActionGirl: She's usually too busy being comic relief in how hilariously bad she is at capturing Ryner, but she can hold her own in a serious fight.
* AllLovingHero: She doesn't quite ''love'' everyone, but she seems utterly incapable of hatred, even towards her AbusiveParents, the OrphanageOfFear she came from, or [[spoiler:her Goddess side]].
* BadLiar: She didn't eat any cake! Really!
* BadassAdorable
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The brunette to Ferris's blonde and Kiefer's redhead.
* BreakTheCutie: Close, but not quite.
* ChildSoldier
* ChildhoodFriends: With Ryner. Unfortunately for her, she's also a ForgottenFriendNewFoe and UnluckyChildhoodFriend.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She has her moments.
* CuteClumsyGirl
* DarkAndTroubledPast
* DeathSeeker: After nearly crossing the DespairEventHorizon, she was ready to die until Ryner chewed her out for it.
* DefusingTheTykebomb: A variation, in that [[ThePollyanna Milk]] doesn't need defusing, per se, but her team works hard to give her the childhood she never had and the chance to be a normal girl.
* DespairEventHorizon: Came close to crossing this during her childhood, but Ryner saved her from it.
* DevotedToYou: She is, essentially, the center of her subordinates' world. [[spoiler:It helps that brainwashing is involved]].
* [[spoiler:EnemyWithin]]
* EnsignNewbie
* ExtremeDoormat: Was one for her foster family.
* FamilyOfChoice: With the rest of the Taboo Breaker Pursuit Squadron.
* FemininityFailure: She feels like this is the case, at least. After wearing military uniforms and training outfits for so long, she can't see herself as pretty in dresses and the like.
* ForgottenFriendNewFoe
* GenkiGirl
* [[spoiler:GodInHumanForm: Though the human Milk is still her own entity, rather than being just the Goddess Milk in human form]].
* IAmNotPretty: See FemininityFailure.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Eventually adopts this stance.
* InspectorJavert: While pursuing Ryner, a supposed Taboo Breaker.
* InterruptedSuicide: When she was about to let herself die as a child in a SuicideByCop-esque manner, Ryner snapped her out of it.
* JadeColoredGlasses: Purposely puts these on, despite how much her team wanted to avoid it.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Her team tries to hide [[spoiler:how dark Roland still is]] from her so that she can stay happy, though she doesn't appreciate it and catches on anyway.
* MagneticHero: In a CrapsackWorld, people tend to find her innocence refreshing. [[spoiler:Again, the brainwashing helps]].
* MoralityPet: For Luke.
* MotorMouth: Likely due to the fact that she spent most of her life ''not'' being able to talk freely, she can be pretty chatty at times.
* NaiveEverygirl
* NewMeat
* OlderThanTheyLook: She's actually in her late teens, despite her childish appearance.
* OverrankedSoldier: She hasn't even graduated from officer academy when Sion promotes her straight to lieutenant. Milk herself is the most shocked over this, though Sion does have his reasons.
* ParentalAbandonment: Came from the same orphanage as Ryner, so her blood parents presumably are either dead or left her. [[spoiler:Her foster parents kick the bucket too]].
* PluckyGirl
* ThePollyanna
* RegalRinglets
* [[spoiler:{{Reincarnation}}: Of a Goddess]].
* SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining: Rather clueless when it comes to 'common' things, thanks to her circumstances.
* SkilledButNaive
* SmarterThanYouLook: She's rather sheltered and therefore tends to be naive and childish, but she's noted to have done very well in officer academy and is quick to realize when her team is hiding things from her.
* SoleSurvivor: When Ryner first went berserk, back when they were kids--she was the only one in the group who survived, due to being the one who brought him back to normal before he could kill her.
* StepfordSmiler: At times, though she does remain genuinely optimistic in spite of her past.
* SweetTooth
* SympathyForTheDevil: She mourns for [[spoiler:her AbusiveParents]] when they die, as well as the human experiment her team was ordered to kill in the anime.
* TenderTears: As Ryner pointed out when they were children, she has a tendency to cry a lot.
* {{Tsundere}}: A Type B for Ryner.
* TykeBomb
* TheUnfavourite: What with being the adopted child who exists only to serve as a soldier and make her family look good.
* UnluckyChildhoodFriend
* WhatTheHellHero: Ryner's reaction towards her DeathSeeker attempt in the past.
* {{Womanchild}}: Rather immature at times, due to never really having a childhood.

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/luke_s_1671.png]]
-> Voiced by: Creator/SatoshiHino (JP), Mike Turner (EN)

A member of the Taboo Breaker Pursuit Squadron, as well as one of Sion's longstanding subordinates alongside Claugh and Calne.
----
* AlmightyJanitor: He's a lowly sergeant--and one of Sion's best subordinates.
* AntiHero
* AntiVillain: [[spoiler:He can be considered one in his and Claugh's first meeting, and then he's one again in Remrus's tower. See HeroAntagonist for more details regarding the second one.]]
* AwesomeByAnalysis: He could tell that a group of people had been trained in Roland just by the way they ''moved''.
* BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler:He's been aware of Milk's brainwashing from the start and stayed by her side in case he would one day have to kill her. In the end, though, he seems to genuinely care for her on some level--which should be impossible for him and which he embraces]].
* BerserkButton: Mess with his 'family' at your own risk.
* BestServedCold: [[spoiler:After waiting for 12+ years, he kills Count Emirel]].
* BewareTheNiceOnes
* BioAugmentation: [[spoiler:He has a magic circle on his brain that grants him high intelligence, courtesy of the Emirel Private Forces]].
* ChildSoldier: Like Calne and Claugh, whom he's known since he was young.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Claugh.
* CombatPragmatist
* DeadpanSnarker: He generally doesn't snark unless he's being passive-aggressive, but when he does, he's a master at it.
* DissonantSerenity
* DressingAsTheEnemy: During the climax of the revolution.
* EyesAlwaysShut
* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: As both Claugh and Ryner note, Luke's manipulative and occasional competitiveness don't go with his kindergarten teacher-esque appearance.
* FakingTheDead: Did this in the past to [[spoiler:escape the Emirel Private Forces]].
* FalseReassurance: If one pays attention, when Luke first meets Claugh, he tells him [[spoiler:he has a plan to overcome the situation and that there's merit in helping him. In the end, there was merit--for ''Luke''--and he didn't specify that ''Claugh'' would be escaping]].
* FamilyOfChoice: The Taboo Breaker Pursuit Squadron is this to him. [[spoiler:Or so he claims/would like to believe, though the truth might be iffier.]]
* {{Foil}}: Whereas Claugh is [[FieryRedhead temperamental]], [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking of high ranking]], and typically [[GeniusBruiser fights using sheer power]], Luke is [[TheSpock calm]], [[AlmightyJanitor always of low ranking]], and [[WeakButSkilled fights using tricks and wit]]. This dynamic has been present throughout their entire childhood.
* TheGadfly: Very fond of teasing others.
* GuileHero
* HeroAntagonist: [[spoiler:Upon realizing that either Sion or Ryner might have to die in order for the world to be saved, Luke makes a serious attempt to do so in Remrus's tower, though with Claugh/Peria/Zohra getting in his way, he ultimately decides to see if they can TakeAThirdOption instead.]]
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Has some shades of this with Claugh. [[spoiler:Particularly once it's revealed that Claugh is perhaps one of the very few people Luke honestly cares about.]]
* HiddenBadass
* HyperCompetentSidekick
* IJustWantToBeNormal: [[spoiler:This desire is why he conditioned himself to behave normally, as he wanted to be able to fit in and connect with 'ordinary' humans.]]
* InsufferableGenius: Not nearly as bad as Vois or the Azure Princess Mercenaries, but he's very smart and he knows it.
* LastOfHisKind: Not quite 'kind,' as they're not another race, but [[spoiler:as of the present, he's the only remaining member of the Stokkart experiment]].
* LetsGetDangerous: Considering how ineffective he and his team were in capturing Ryner, people likely weren't expecting him to [[spoiler:hold his own against Froaude]].
* [[LittleMissBadass Little Mister Badass]]: Back then, he could even defeat Claugh.
* LockedIntoStrangeness: [[spoiler:His white hair isn't natural, but rather a side effect of the magic circle on his brain]].
* LongHairedPrettyBoy
* ManipulativeBastard
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Subverted. He comes across as this initially, but while he likes Sion, he also states that he'll kill him if he ever loses his way and becomes like the previous kings of Roland.
* NervesOfSteel
* ObfuscatingStupidity
* OverprotectiveDad: [[DownplayedTrope He doesn't threaten Ryner]], but he definitely doesn't approve of him either, as well as deciding that it's too early for Milk to be thinking of a romantic relationship--never mind that he's not even her actual father.
* PapaWolf: For his team.
* ParentalSubstitute: A slight version for Milk. He's her subordinate first and foremost, but he's sure as hell a better father figure than her [[AbusiveParents foster one]] is.
* PerpetualSmiler: [[spoiler:Eventually revealed to be a StepfordSmiler, however]].
* PragmaticHero
* RazorFloss: His Latsel Thread.
* {{Revenge}}: Yes, Luke ''also'' wanted Count Emirel dead.
* TheRival: To Claugh in ''The Legend of the Fallen Dark Hero''.
* SavedByCanon: Like Claugh, he nearly dies in the climax of ''The Legend of the Fallen Dark Hero''.
* TheSmartGuy
* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:Along with Claugh when he was young, during an experiment in which everyone was slaughtered--though he knew that would happen and was counting on it]].
* TheSpock: Despite surface appearances, Lieral believes that he's this at heart [[spoiler:as, due to a military experiment, he should lack the emotions that would affect his judgment. Ultimately subverted, however--see BecomingTheMask above]].
* [[spoiler:StepfordSmiler: Being near emotionless, he's just learned how to react 'normally' according to the situation ([[DissonantSerenity or sometimes, at least]]), meaning that his expressions are a lie]].
* SubmissiveBadass
* SubordinateExcuse: Despite his skill, he prefers to work under Miller and Milk.
* [[spoiler:SuperIntelligence]]
* SuperSoldier
* SupremeChef
* SurvivorGuilt: From the above incident mentioned under SoleSurvivor. [[spoiler:He could've saved everyone, though it would've ultimately been rendered pointless, which he knew but still felt guilty over.]]
* TeamMom
* [[spoiler:TinMan: He's jealous of Lieral for being able to behave the way he does--keeping in mind this is [[KnightTemplarParent Lieral]] [[LoveMakesYouCrazy we're talking about]]]].
* TranquilFury: He's all smiles while digging a knife into [[spoiler:Froaude's]] neck.
* TrapMaster
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Luke as a five-year-old? Pretty similar to Luke as a [[DissonantSerenity twenty-five-year-old]], actually.
* TykeBomb: Though in his case, he [[spoiler:faked his death and ran away to avoid becoming this]].
* UndyingLoyalty: Towards Milk. [[spoiler:The fact that he's emotionless and the truth of her brainwashing complicate this, and Luke knows that it likely wasn't originally of his own will, but regardless, he admits that she means more to him than the world.]]
* TheUnfettered: He's shown several shades of this, devoting his life to cleansing the corruption in Roland, and as mentioned under TheSpock, Lieral believes him to be this. [[spoiler:As also mentioned, Luke happily subverts this in the end.]]
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Claugh, though more vitriolic on Claugh's part than Luke's.
* WeakButSkilled
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: Struggles with this, as [[spoiler:he's not sure if, given the magic circle on his brain, he's actually capable of genuine affection]].
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Like Sion above, he does mean entirely well, but is definitely not above resorting to questionable methods if that's what it takes to change the world.
* WildCard: Because he [[spoiler:lacks emotions]], he's not genuinely loyal to anyone for the most part and instead works towards a greater good for all.

The other three members of Milk's team.
----
* AlmightyJanitor: While not quite a {{Badass}} like Luke, Lear's more competent than he seems.
* BerserkButton: As Lear himself notes, he's not the kind of person who can stay calm while his friends are in danger.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Much like Luke, Lear doesn't take kindly to people messing with his team. See: attacking Calne and threatening to kill Eslina when his team went missing and not hesitating to stab Lieral when he threatened Milk.
* ChildSoldier
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Lach and Lear.
* DarkSkinnedRedhead: Lach.
* FamilyOfChoice: With the rest of the Taboo Breaker Pursuit Squadron.
* FieryRedhead: Lach.
* HappilyAdopted: Given how caring their foster parents seem to have been, Lach and Moe were presumably this.

-> Voiced by: Creator/YasunoriMasutani (JP), Creator/ChristopherSabat (EN)

The commanding officer of the Taboo Breaker Pursuit Squadron. Reputed as a genius, he was an integral factor in Sion's revolution.
----
* TheAce: Though he doesn't see himself as one.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Interestingly enough, he mixes this with being an AlmightyJanitor. He's the highest up and strongest among the Taboo Breaker Pursuit Squad, but being the commander of that squad isn't a glamorous job, and so he's ''still'' far more competent than his rank would suggest.
* {{Badass}}: While his job is primarily a desk one and he'd rather not stand out, he tends to kick ass without breaking a sweat when he does fight.
* BrokenPedestal: For Germer, once she realized that the rumours of him being an ExtremeDoormat for the nobles were true. [[HappilyMarried Needless to say, she eventually got over it]].
* TheComicallySerious
* CoolOldGuy: Not exactly ''old'', as he's only in his thirties, but still older than most of the cast.
* ExtremeDoormat: Pretended to be one for the nobles.
* FullNameBasis: He even calls his ''wife'' by her full name. Namely because he's still trying to get used to the idea, having never expected to get married with the way Roland was.
* HappilyMarried
* HumbleHero
* JerkassFacade: Pretended to be completely loyal to the nobles in the past so as to cover up his true motives.
* LastNameBasis: Like Froaude, he's typically referred to by his last name.
* NumberTwo: To Sion.
* OnlySaneMan: Among the Taboo Breaker Pursuit Squadron.
* PermaStubble
* PerpetualFrowner
* ReverseMole: He'd been plotting against the previous dictatorship from within its very own military.
* SecretTestOfCharacter: Put Germer through one. She passed by deciding to spare her students, even if it meant dying.
* ShootTheDog: Presumably played straight in general, given the nature of the Taboo Breaker Pursuit Squadron, but subverted in regards to Moe and Lach. Instead of killing them as he was supposed to, he secretly hired them.
* TheStoic

!!Germer Kleisrole
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/germer_6293.png]]

A member of the army who trained Ryner, Peria, and Pia long ago, as well as Miller's wife in the present.
----
* HairTriggerTemper
* HappilyMarried
* HeroicSacrifice: Almost. She was willing to die to let Ryner, Peria, and Pia escape from Roland, though it fortunately didn't come to that.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: [[TrainingFromHell Very harsh in her training]], but she did care for Ryner and co.
* TheLadette
* NoGuyWantsAnAmazon: Also, no guy wants a ''temperamental'' amazon. After a long line of failed relationships, though, she finally finds happiness with Miller.
* SternTeacher
* SurvivorGuilt: Thanks to the people around her and her previous students constantly dying while she survived.
* TrainingFromHell: Put her students through this.

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/riphal_8910.png]]
-> Voiced by: Creator/KazuyaNakai (JP), Creator/PatrickSeitz (EN)

The king of the Gastark Empire, who intends to eradicate war by uniting the entire continent.
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: His eyes are purple in the anime, whereas they're blue in the novels. Likely due to the possibility that Riphal may not have had any colour images by the time the anime was produced.
* AffablyEvil: When not trying to conquer the world, he's a pretty sociable guy.
* AntiVillain
* ArtificialLimbs: He's sacrificed his right leg before.
* BewareTheSillyOnes
* {{BFS}}
* CasanovaWannabe: And to rub salt into the wound, Lize is apparently far more popular with the ladies, even when trying to hook them up with Riphal.
* AChildShallLeadThem: He became the ruler of Gastark when he was twelve [[spoiler:due to his father, the previous leader, being killed]].
* ChildhoodFriends: With Lize and Lir.
* ChivalrousPervert
* TheChosenOne: The northern one, at least.
* CoolSword
* DarkAndTroubledPast
* DarkMessiah: Continuously sacrifices himself using Glouvil, tries not to hate anyone, and sincerely hates war... but has resigned himself to repeatedly starting them for the sake of his goals.
* [[DarkSkinnedRedHead Dark-Skinned Pinkhead]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He and his people are very tight-knit.
* EvilCounterpart: To Sion, though he's not exactly evil. [[spoiler:And Sion's not all that different either]].
* EyeScream: Due to his contract with Glouvil.
* EyepatchOfPower
* FeelNoPain: [[spoiler:After sacrificing his sense of touch to Glouvil.]]
* TheGoodKing
* HandicappedBadass
* HeroAntagonist: As morality gets progressively greyer and the truth behind the world gets revealed, Riphal gets closer and closer to being this. [[spoiler:For all intents and purposes, he has the exact same goal as Ryner and Sion--his just happens to potentially involve killing them, as they might become threats to the world.]]
* HeroicVow: [[WouldntHitAGirl Be kind to girls]]. [[TrueCompanions Value his friends]]. [[DarkMessiah Don't hate people]]. [[WellIntentionedExtremist Believe that he can move forward]]. For a CrapsackWorld, he doesn't do too badly, though he can't keep that vow quite as well as he'd like.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Lize. Wherever Riphal is, Lize is almost sure to follow.
* HopelessSuitor: Towards Kiefer.
* HundredPercentAdorationRating: He might not get a lot of respect, but his people all adore him.
* HypocrisyNod: He's well aware that he's contradicting himself when he claims to be waging war to bring world peace.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: While he still hoped for a while that Kiefer might return to his side, he accepts that she loves Ryner, wants to grant her some happiness with the latter, and [[spoiler:after the battle against Geihlficlant, decides that he doesn't deserve her anyway]].
* ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne: He would've been much, much happier if he wasn't Glouvil's wielder.
* LetsGetDangerous: It might be hard to believe that he's the conqueror of the northern continent--until he gets serious.
* LoveMakesYouDumb: Lize and the others fear this trope becoming the case for Riphal, seeing as how Kiefer works for the other side. While he does show some shades of it, though, he's also careful not to fall into this trap.
* {{Manchild}}: Occasionally acts like one, though when things get serious, he's perfectly mature.
* ModestRoyalty: Outside of his armour, he dresses in more plain clothes than most of the non-royalty characters.
* NecessarilyEvil: He's aware of how questionable his actions are, but believes them to be necessary by this point, especially considering the sacrifices he's already made--a mindset shared by the rest of Gastark as well.
* TheNeedsOfTheMany
* NoHeroToHisValet: His valet being the villagers whom he grew up with. You wouldn't think he was their king from the way they treat him.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Noted to have done this while [[spoiler:a prisoner of Stohl]] so that he and Lize wouldn't be suspected of plotting anything.
* OnlyTheChosenMayWield
* ParentalAbandonment: [[spoiler:Stohl killed his parents, as well as those of every major family in Gastark]].
* PowerAtAPrice: Unlocking Glouvil's true potential involves a sacrifice.
* PreMortemOneLiner: Tends to do these before using Glouvil.
--> ''"I will not let this sacrifice be in vain. I am a slaughterer. I... I will advance forward! I will... mow everything down!"''
--> ''"I… I am a murderer! I am a king of slaying! If you want to curse me, then come! But, even so, I will still swing this sword. So that I can save more lives than I am going to kill now, I will kill you all here!"''
* ReluctantRuler: Had no desire to become head of Gastark. Didn't have much of a choice in the matter either.
* ReluctantWarrior: All he wanted was to live in peace, believing that life was more important than anything. The world said no.
* ResignedToTheCall: Doesn't really want to be doing what he's doing, but acknowledges that he's TheChosenOne and that the world will end if he doesn't, making it just a bit hard to ignore.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething
* ShootTheDog: Gastark as a whole runs on this trope.
* StartXToStopX: Start wars to stop wars. However, his ultimate goals are more complicated than that, and despite his initial claim, Riphal is realistic enough to know that war is always inevitable.
* SwordBeam
* TakeOverTheWorld
* UnusualEyebrows: Of the forked variety.
* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans
* VillainousFriendship: Type I with Lize and Lir, what with them being ChildhoodFriends.
* VillainsOutShopping
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Lize.
* WarriorPrince
* WeaponOfMassDestruction: Glouvil is one.
* WellIntentionedExtremist
* TheWisePrince: Less obvious about it than, say, Sion, thanks to his general silly attitude, but it's there when he's serious.
* WouldntHitAGirl: He tries to be this way, though when things get serious, he has to go against it.
* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Pink Hair]]

* MagicKnight: He's the commander of Gastark's Magic Knight Battalion, even.
* MagneticHero: Apparently how Gastark can amass such a large military force--Lize's charisma helps a ''lot''.
* NecessarilyEvil
* NotSoAboveItAll: Easily the most serious of those from Gastark seen, to the point where it wouldn't be hard to believe him to be a PerpetualFrowner at first--but he's definitely not above making jests at Riphal's expense.
* NumberTwo: To Riphal.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: While [[spoiler:a prisoner of Stohl]], in his, Riphal, and Lir's backstory.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname
* ParentalAbandonment: On top of that, he has no living relatives at all [[spoiler:as his last one was one of the sacrifices used to awaken Glouvil]].
* ProperlyParanoid: He's convinced that Kiefer is a potential threat, and by that point, the reader knows that he's ''right''.
* SarcasticDevotee
* UndyingLoyalty: Towards Riphal, as noted under AFriendInNeed.
* VillainousFriendship: With Riphal and Lir.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Riphal.
* WellIntentionedExtremist
* WouldHitAGirl: Unlike Riphal, he has absolutely no qualms about this. Riphal even punched ''him'' once for it.

The youngest of the Orla siblings and a fierce supporter of Riphal's.

* BadassFamily
* BewareTheSillyOnes

* BrotherSisterTeam: With Kuu.
* BumblingSidekick: Not exactly Kuu's sidekick, per se, but it's clear who the more competent of the two is.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes
* TheExtremistWasRight: He told Ryner that [[spoiler:as a king, Sion would inevitably have to make sacrifices, no matter how ideal Ryner believed Sion to be]]. Guess what Ryner discovers by the end of the first series?
* [[spoiler:FaceDeathWithDignity: He survives, but when on his deathbed, he calmly accepts his fate, worrying over Kuu instead and being ''relieved'' when Riphal chooses to have Sui pass on information while he can rather than immediately try to save him]].
* FauxAffablyEvil
* HandicappedBadass: In the anime, he manages fine despite [[spoiler:lacking an arm]]. Averted in the novels, though, as he [[spoiler:obtains ArtificialLimbs]].

* OnlyTheChosenMayWield: Apparently, he's the only one who can use the ring.
* ParentalAbandonment
* PowersDoTheFighting: His lightning beasts.

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kiefer_160.png]]
-> Voiced by: Fuyuka Oura (JP), Creator/BrinaPalencia (EN)

An old friend of Ryner and Sion's, having gone to the same academy as them. She left Roland two years ago to travel the world.
----
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: She's in love with Ryner, who doesn't return her feelings, and both Riphal and Toale have crushes on her, neither of which she reciprocates.
* AttemptedRape: [[spoiler:By the Estabul Magic Knights]].
* BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler:At the academy, despite trying to keep her guard up]].
* BigSisterInstinct
* BigSisterWorship: Idolized her older sister.
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The redhead to Ferris's blonde and Milk's brunette.
* BoyishShortHair: During her academy days.
* BreakTheCutie: Her past, though after meeting Ryner, she gets better.
* BrokenAce: In the academy, where she was known to be smart, beautiful, and popular. As for the 'broken' part--well, just look at the spoiler tropes.
* ChekhovMIA: Though while her whereabouts are unknown for a while, her disappearance wasn't mysterious.
* ChildSoldier
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: This is how she gets by while traveling. [[spoiler:To name specific counts over the course of the series: first forced to betray Estabul for Roland, then forced to betray her friends for her sister, and then betrays Gastark for Ryner.]]
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
* DangerouslyShortSkirt: Her later outfits. Funnily enough, she's actually aware of how unpractical it is, but doesn't want to look unfeminine next to Ferris.
* DarkAndTroubledPast
* DeliberatelyDistressedDamsel: [[spoiler:Forms a plan with Vois that involves purposely becoming Gastark's hostage in order to convince them to form an alliance with Sphelliyet]].
* [[spoiler:DoubleAgent: She was originally a spy for Estabul, before Roland caught her and forced her to secretly become a spy for them]].
* [[ChickMagnet Dude Magnet]]
* [[spoiler:EasilyForgiven]]
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: After the... ''incident'', she finally started growing her hair out.
* FeminineWomenCanCook: In the ''Legend of the Legendary Heroes Revision'' manga, she's the best cook between her, Ferris, and Milk, whom she's also the most feminine of in terms of personality.
* [[spoiler:ForcedIntoEvil: Betray her class or her little sister dies. Unfortunately for her, her sister was DeadAllAlong]].
* GenderBlenderName
* GuileHero: As a lone woman traveling the world (who, unlike some others on this page, is not a {{Badass}}), she notes that she's had to be this to get by, lying her way through situations.
* HoneyTrap: She wasn't trying to be this, but this is what Lize sees her as towards Riphal.
* HopelessSuitor
* [[spoiler:IHaveYourWife: Or little sister, in her case]].
* LadyInRed: When wearing the dress Riphal gives her after stealing her normal clothes.
* [[spoiler:TheMole: A very remorseful one, however]].

!!Toale Nelphi
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/toale_4795.png]]
-> Voiced by: Yuto Suzuki (JP), Creator/ToddHaberkorn (EN)

The grandson of the Emperor of Nelpha and potential heir to the throne, though Toale himself would rather have nothing to do with it.
----
* ArchnemesisDad: To a degree after [[spoiler:Roland invades Nelpha. While his father doesn't get the chance to do anything, Toale is rightfully afraid of the man sending assassins after him]].
* [[spoiler:ArtificialLimbs]]
* [[spoiler:AnArmAndALeg: Loses both his right arm and leg while protecting Kiefer from a Rule Fragment attack]].
* [[spoiler:BadassTransplant: They can self-destruct, which can do a decent amount of damage]].
* BigBrotherInstinct
* {{Bookworm}}: Not to the same extent as Ryner, but it's mentioned that he hangs out at the library often and he knows the librarian quite well.
* BornUnlucky: Ryner thinks this about him.
* BreakTheCutie: A mild example, in that he still stays fairly strong, but compare his first appearance to when he meets Ryner again. He's understandably exhausted, both physically and emotionally, and things never get truly better for him.
* BrokenAce: Kind, smart, competent, and beloved by his people to the point where they regard him as their hope. This ''really'' wears down on him in the sequel.
* TheChainsOfCommanding: This is precisely why he doesn't want to be king.
* ChekhovsGunman: Shows up for a short while at the start of the series, while Ryner and Ferris stay over at his house, before disappearing from the picture once they leave. He then returns later with more significance when [[spoiler:Roland invades Nelpha]].
* [[spoiler:DisneyDeath]]
* FirstNameBasis: He drops the honorifics with Ryner once, as a sign that he finally trusts him.
* {{Foil}}: As noted by Ryner, Toale's circumstances are very similar to Sion's, except Toale has no desire to become king.
* [[spoiler:GoOutWithASmile: He doesn't stay dead, but it's the thought that counts]].
* GoodIsNotSoft: Easily one of the nicest people around. But he won't tolerate others messing with his people, and to Vois's surprise, he makes it clear that if it means protecting the Nelpha soldiers, he's willing to let Geihlficlant soldiers die in their place.
* HeroicBastard
* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice: He dies from his injuries after shielding Kiefer--though ultimately subverted in that, again, he doesn't stay dead]].
* HouseHusband: Due to their dad being a dick and none of them being able to see their mothers, Toale's the sole guardian of his siblings.
* HumbleHero: He doesn't see himself as the majestic prince everyone else sees him as or even as strong as he honestly is, after everything that he's endured.
* HundredPercentAdorationRating: His people utterly adore him. [[ReluctantRuler It's not so great for him, though]].
* IJustWantToBeNormal: And not a king, thanks.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: He'd rather support Kiefer with Ryner than even try to pursue her.
* JadeColoredGlasses: He admits that he should start wearing these if he wants to survive.
* MartyrWithoutACause: Just a tad too self-sacrificial for his country, which Ryner verbally slaps him for.
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: Fourteen younger siblings, and that's only counting the illegitimate ones!
* ModestRoyalty: Just look at the above picture. Does he ''look'' like royalty to you?
* NiceGuy
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: He prevented the meaningless deaths of 10,000 soldiers... and effectively ruined his own life by thus [[spoiler:becoming a threat in Roland's eyes]] and becoming the leader of the Nelphan forces, even if he didn't mean for either to happen.
* [[spoiler:OnlyMostlyDead: Vois stops his breathing and pulse, thus only temporarily killing him off]].
* OnlySaneMan: He shares this position with Ryner. Seen best before the fight between Gastark and Geihlficlant, where Vois, Ferris, and Kiefer are jokingly accusing one another of not being prepared, before Toale accepts the blame so that they can ''actually'' get down to business.
-->'''Ryner:''' "It's good that someone's being serious."
* ParentalAbandonment: His dad kicked him and his many younger siblings out.
* PromotionToParent
* RefusalOfTheCall: Again, he has no desire to be king, despite everyone else pushing him to fight for the throne.
* ReluctantRuler
* ResignedToTheCall: After his RefusalOfTheCall fails. He'll go out of his way to save the Nelphan people, knowing that he's the only one who can, but don't expect him to be energetic about it.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething
* RoyalBlood
* [[spoiler:SelfSacrificeScheme: Tries to pull one off, except Ryner interferes. It's also debatable as to whether it would've even worked in the first place]].
* SupremeChef: It comes with looking after fourteen younger siblings.
* TookALevelInBadass: While not necessarily a full-fledged {{Badass}}, he does go from being a civilian with no combat history in his debut to a WarriorPrince.
* TraumaCongaLine: The first few volumes of the sequel are ''not'' kind to him.
* TurnTheOtherCheek: [[spoiler:Not only does he not hold a grudge against Sion, but he won't accept any apologies either. That said, part of it is that apologizing implies Sion believes what he did was wrong, which would then imply the Nelphan people died for nothing, making it something of an insult]].
* WarriorPrince: Eventually forced to become one.
* TheWisePrince
* TheWrongfulHeirToTheThrone: The Nelphan people see his father--the legitimate heir--as this and hope that Toale will inherit the throne instead. On the other hand, Toale sees himself as inadequate due to having been raised as a commoner.

An Alpha Stigma bearer that Ryner ends up picking up as his student.
----
* AdorablyPrecociousChild
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer
* BadassAdorable
* BerserkButton: [[spoiler:His father's death is what pushes him over the edge]].
* BigDamnHeroes: Saves Ryner and Ferris from [[spoiler:the Roland army]] using his [[MagicalEye Alpha Stigma]] and some clever thinking, effectively proving that child or not, he's far from TheLoad.
* BloodSplatteredInnocents: [[spoiler:When his father is killed]].
* BreakTheCutie: What others try to do to him, though he ultimately stays strong.
* ColdBloodedTorture: In his debut.
* CursedWithAwesome
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Again, the standard for Cursed Eye bearers.
* DrivenToMadness: See BreakTheCutie.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom
* HarmfulToMinors: In a short span of time, he gets taken captive because of his Alpha Stigma, is tortured, sees his mother's corpse with the knowledge she died because of him, [[spoiler:watches his father be killed in front of him, and has the only person left who still cares about him taken hostage against him]]. It's fairly impressive that Arua still remains as well-adjusted as he is.
* InstantExpert
* [[spoiler:LaughingMad: When he goes berserk]].
* [[LittleMissBadass Little Mister Badass]]
* MagicalEye
* PowerCopying
* PowerIncontinence

!!Vois Fiurelle
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vois_2665.png]]

An acquaintance whom Ryner and Ferris meet while travelling through the Iyet Republic. He later reappears as the leader of the Anti-Roland Coalition.
----
* AmbiguouslyBi: Most of his perverted antics are towards girls, but he does occasionally make suggestive comments towards Ryner, albeit possibly as a joke.
* AntiHero
* BadBoss: He doesn't abuse or kill his lackeys without reason--he's far too level-headed for that--but if he sees you as expendable, you're likely not going to live long. And he sees a ''lot'' of people as expendable.
* BadassPacifist: Far from a pacifist most of the time, but he does have one moment where he calmly tries to talk the God's Eyes bearers down and encourage them to believe in a better future, all while they throw rocks at him.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: A cheerful pervert, brat and self-proclaimed lolicon--and one of the most ruthless and pragmatic people around.
* {{Bishonen}}
* BrutalHonesty
* CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem: His allies' general opinion of him.
* TheChessmaster
* AChildShallLeadThem: After becoming one of the kings of Sphelliyet.
* CombatPragmatist
* ConsummateLiar
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
* [[DeliberatelyDistressedDamsel Deliberately Distressed Dude]]: When [[spoiler:the God's Eyes bearers]] take him captive, forcing Ryner and Ferris to save him. However, this being [[ManipulativeBastard Vois]], he was counting on all of the above.
* DissonantSerenity
* TheExtremistWasRight: As much as Ryner and co. dislike his way of doing things, the inevitable reality is that he tends to get more done than them, and much of Ryner's later success can be owed to Vois.
* GuileHero
* HairColorDissonance: His hair (and eyes) is officially black but appears as [[PurpleIsTheNewBlack blue/purple]] in illustrations.
* ImprobableAge: He's only fifteen by the time he becomes a part of the main cast, and by that point he's already been the head of a mafia and is currently the leader of what becomes one of the most powerful factions.
* InsufferableGenius
* {{Jerkass}}
* JerkassHasAPoint: As much of a douche as Vois is, Ryner can't deny that he tends to be ''right''.
* {{Keet}}: Much to the annoyance of Ryner and co.
* LackOfEmpathy
* TheLeader: Type I of the Anti-Roland Coalition. While he [[spoiler:declares Ryner the king]], it's obvious who's still actually leading the group.
* {{Lolicon}}: A self-proclaimed one, even though he's still a minor as well.
* LovableSexManiac
* ManipulativeBastard: As he comes from a family of swindlers, it's to be expected.
* MouthyKid
* MurderIsTheBestSolution: See: [[spoiler:trying to kill Toale who wanted him to save Relca because, for all intents and purposes, Vois didn't feel like arguing with him]].
* NervesOfSteel
* NominalHero
* PsychoSidekick: He's basically to Ryner what Froaude is to Sion, though in his case, he wants Ryner to be as pragmatic as him.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Very fond of giving these, primarily to the more idealistic Ryner.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: As one of the kings of Sphelliyet.
* ShootTheDog: Taken to the extreme, and with his [[{{Jerkass}} attitude]], occasionally veers into outright KickTheDog.
* SociopathicHero
* TeenGenius
* TokenEvilTeammate
* UngratefulBastard: He's not exactly thankful when Relca [[TakingTheBullet nearly dies to save him]], instead telling her not to drag him down.
* UnscrupulousHero
* WeHaveReserves: He has no problems with sacrificing his own subordinates.
* WellIntentionedExtremist
* YoungAndInCharge


!!Relca Redehna
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/relca_8559.png]]

A member of the Anti-Roland Coalition who loyally serves Vois.
----
* GenericCuteness: Noted to be good-looking, but not as much as Ferris or Kiefer.
* GirlFriday
* LoveMartyr: A bit of one for [[BadBoss Vois]].
* NumberTwo: To Vois, and a position she shares with Harmit.
* TheReliableOne
* SubordinateExcuse: Seems to have a crush on Vois.
* TakingTheBullet: For Vois, though she survives thanks to Ryner and co. insisting that he save her.
* UndyingLoyalty: Guess who.

!!Pia Varliere
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pia_2434.png]]

One of Ryner's childhood friends, having trained under Germer with him. Currently the leader of the Azure Princess Mercenaries.
----
* TheAce
* ActionGirl
* AllAmazonsWantHercules: While Pia herself doesn't express much of an interest in having Zohra or Peria be more than good friends/fanboys, the two seem to believe in this trope.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: To Ryner, Peria, and Zohra.
* AntiHero[=/=]AntiVillain: Starts off as the latter, due to opposing Vois, whom she believes [[spoiler:sold the world out to the Goddesses]], and by association Ryner. Once things get sorted out and they join forces, she shifts to the former.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Presumably why she's the leader.
* BadassInCharge
* BadassPrincess: Not royalty in the conventional sense, but still technically a princess in some way and very much a {{Badass}}.
* BirdsOfAFeather: She, Peria, and Zohra have many things in common, but most notably, they're all egotistical jerks who can also back it up.
* BlessedWithSuck: Her Congenital Magic Abnormality grants her amazing magical power, but it tends to lead to a lack of control over one's will and possibly becoming magic deficient. Pia, on her part, manages to avoid these by disciplining herself.
* BloodKnight: Take any novel illustration of her and there's a good chance it's of her cheerfully attacking someone or the like.
* BornWinner: Her Congenital Magic Abnormality means that you really don't want to take her on in a magic fight.
* TheCameo: Can be seen briefly in a flashback in the anime, along with Peria and Germer.
* AChildShallLeadThem: Eventually becomes one of the rulers of Sphelliyet.
* ChildSoldier: She had the same instructor as Ryner, after all.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Peria and Ryner.
* CoolBigSis: To Ryner.
* DangerouslyShortSkirt: She turns her ballgown into one at some point.
* DefusingTheTykebomb: In a very odd variation on the trope that involved a lecture on how women were superior to men, she essentially does this for Zohra in their first meeting--by pointing out that he's just a tool for Roland
* DevotedToYou: If you were to ask Peria and Zohra, no other girl could ever hold a candle to Pia.
* DudeMagnet: Both Peria and Zohra are head over heels for her, which she revels in.
* ExaltedTorturer: She casually threatens Vois with torture at one point as means of getting information out of him.
* EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry
* TheFashionista
* FemmeFatalons: They're a Rule Fragment.
* FlowerInHerHair
* GirlyBruiser
* HairDecorations
* HairTriggerTemper: As all bearers of the Congenital Magic Abnormality are known for.
* HeroAntagonist: She's technically a villain by virtue of opposing Vois--Ryner's ally--but next to him, she comes across as a fair bit more heroic.
* InsufferableGenius
* KickingAssInAllHerFinery
* KungFuWizard
* LadyOfWar
* TheLeader: Type IV of the Azure Princess Mercenaries.
* LittleMissBadass: Was one as a child, as Ryner, Peria, Germer, and Zohra can all tell you.
* LovableAlphaBitch
* MagicKnight
* OperaGloves: When not wearing her FemmeFatalons.
* PimpedOutDress
* PoliticallyActivePrincess
* RagsToRoyalty: Went from ChildSoldier turned exile to [[SheIsTheKing king]].
* RapunzelHair
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Not evil, but highly dangerous and volatile, certainly.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething
* ScrewTheRulesImBeautiful
* SheIsTheKing: While Pia's referred to as Princess within her group, the rulers of Sphelliyet are collectively referred to as kings.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: She's not exactly fond of Vois, but sees the benefits in working with him.
* TrueBlueFemininity: She doesn't quite have the 'gentle' part down, but it's fitting for her fanciest dress that demonstrates how high up on the ladder she is.
* {{Tsundere}}: More so as a child.
* TykeBomb: Until she and Peria fled Roland, at least.
* WalkingTheEarth: Previously, as a fugitive.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Her hair colour is an indicator of her possessing a Congenital Magic Abnormality.

!!Peria Peruula
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/peria_8232.png]]

Another one of Ryner's friends from his days with Germer. One of the elites of the Azure Princess Mercenaries.
----
* AlliterativeName
* AntiHero[=/=]AntiVillain: For the same reasons as Pia.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Similarly to Pia, this is presumably why he gets to be an elite.
* BadassCape
* BigDamnHeroes: Saves [[spoiler:Ryner]] alongside with Zohra.
* BioAugmentation
* BirdsOfAFeather: With Pia and Zohra.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: The most gentle and mild-mannered between him, Pia and Zohra, but can be just as much of a jerk if he so wishes, especially if your name happens to be Zohra Rom.
* TheCameo
* ChestInsignia: Bearing the symbol of the group.
* ChildSoldier
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: He's really hoping for this with Pia, and teases Zohra at least once on how Zohra hasn't known her for as long.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Pia and Ryner.
* DisabilitySuperpower: Roland forced a magic formation on him that, at the cost of his sight and hearing, allows him to feel things over a large distance.
* EyesAlwaysShut: He's blind, after all.
* TheGadfly: Main targets being Zohra and Ryner.
* HandicappedBadass
* HeroAntagonist: Again, for the same reasons as Pia.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: As a child. Less so as an [[BitchInSheepsClothing adult]].
* InsufferableGenius: Not quite as vocal about it as Pia or Zohra, but there's a reason he's described as having an arrogant face.
* KungFuWizard
* [[LittleMissBadass Little Mister Badass]]: Effortlessly beat Zohra, a fellow {{Badass}}, when they were ten.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy
* MagicKnight
* NumberTwo: To Pia, and a position he shares with Zohra.
* PerpetualSmiler
* PoisonedWeapons: Uses one against Claugh, albeit without much effect.
* SensorCharacter
* SingleTargetSexuality: He's been crushing on Pia since they were five or six. In his own words, "There is only Pia in my eyes."
* SuperSenses: Of sorts, thanks to his DisabilitySuperpower.
* TykeBomb
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Zohra.
* WalkingTheEarth: Alongside Pia.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: Again, with Zohra. Out of all the VitriolicBestBuds in the series, they're possibly the heaviest on the 'vitriolic' part.


!!Zohra Rom
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zohra_523.png]]

Previously an assassin working for Roland, Zohra chose to desert and now works as an elite for the Azure Princess Mercenaries.
----
* {{Adorkable}}: When around Pia.
* AffablyEvil: Pre-HeelFaceTurn. Generally friendly and much less sadistic than the other Hidden Elites, but that doesn't change the fact that he goes around killing people for a living.
* AintTooProudToBeg: When Pia threatened to stab his eye with a fork, he quickly backpedaled on all of his previous proud statements.
* AmazonChaser
* AntiHero[=/=]AntiVillain: Like Pia and Peria above. Zohra in particular keeps switching between the two, depending on the context, even before the sequel.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Both in the Hidden Elites and, presumably, the Azure Princess Mercenaries.
* {{Badass}}
* BadassCape
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Acts like a complete goof, but it doesn't make him any less competent.
* BigDamnHeroes: Along with Peria, he saves [[spoiler:Ryner from Luke]].
* BirdsOfAFeather: With Pia and Peria.
* BloodKnight
* BoisterousBruiser
* BrattyHalfPint[=/=]MouthyKid: Went between the two as a thirteen-year-old.
* BystanderSyndrome: As a child, his mindset was along the lines of "It doesn't matter who dies around me as long as I'm okay."
* ChestInsignia
* ChildSoldier
* ColdBloodedTorture: Like Ryner, he's been through this in the past for insubordination.
* CombatPragmatist: Zig-zagged. He objects to Ryner's attempt at a GroinAttack, claims that he likes to fight fair, and ''will'' often do so for the challenge. When honestly serious, though, he's a fairly dirty fighter--PoisonedWeapons, ObfuscatingStupidity, setting up a magic circle in advance, etc.
* ContractOnTheHitman: Thanks to becoming a HitmanWithAHeart post-HeelFaceTurn.
* CoolMask: Wears one in his first appearance in the sequel for no apparent reason. Granted, this is Zohra we're talking about, so no reason is needed, really.
* DeathSeeker: Upon realizing that Pia is stronger than him, he promptly decides that his life has no meaning and that he wants to die. Pia quickly snaps him out of it.
* DidntSeeThatComing: Whoops, looks like Lucile can [[AntiMagic nullify magic]]. That said, Zohra then improvises and takes advantage of said ability to make his escape.
* DisneyDeath: Appears to have died by Lucile's hands, as far as Ryner knows--and then we see how Zohra survived in the next short story.
* DitzyGenius
* EnfantTerrible: A mild example when he was young, as he knew some people saw him as a harmless child and wasn't afraid to play along.
* EyeScream: Pia threatened him with this, though she didn't go through with it.
* FashionableAsymmetry
* FearlessFool: Subverted. He has all the mannerisms of one, but he's aware of how reckless he's being; he throws himself into suicidal situations because he knows that overcoming the odds is the best way of getting stronger.
* FingerlessGloves: Both as a Hidden Elite and in his present outfit, though with bandages for the latter.
* FoolForLove: Quite happily whipped for a certain azure-haired girl.
* GeniusBruiser: Despite his IdiotHero tendencies, he's still one of the few mages good enough to create his own spells, has a good sense of tactics, and is entirely capable of ObfuscatingStupidity.
* HairTriggerTemper
* HandwrapsOfAwesome: As an adult.
* HeelFaceTurn: Pulled one in the past, after meeting Pia.
* HeroAntagonist: Like Pia and Peria, though he's one even before the sequel--when he tries to [[spoiler:kill Sion]] in a short story. From Ryner's perspective, it's unjustified, but the reader knows that, by this point, [[spoiler:Sion is something of a VillainProtagonist]].
* HiddenWeapons: Being an assassin, this is obviously his shtick.
* HitmanWithAHeart: To the point where, as Ryner points out, he barely even counts as an assassin.
* HotBlooded
* HumblePie: His swift defeat at the hands of both Pia and Peria when they were ten.
* IJustWantToBeBadass: Essentially his motivation in life.
* IdiotHero
* InLoveWithTheMark
* IncomingHam: In his first meeting with Ryner.
-->'''Zohra:''' "Hey! Are you Ryner Lute? Asking is such a pain, so just die! Take thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis!"
* InsufferableGenius
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* JerkassHasAPoint: He's pretty insulting to Ryner when they reunite in the sequel, but Ryner finds it hard to deny any of what Zohra says about Ryner having become weak.
* {{Keet}}: Had some shades of this when he was thirteen, mainly when it came to gushing over Pia or new challenges.
* KungFuWizard
* LargeHam
* [[LittleMissBadass Little Mister Badass]]: In his first two appearances, where he could/does give Ryner a run for his money.
* LoveAtFirstPunch: Pia kicked his ass and threatened to stab his eye with a fork. He fell in love.
* LoveMakesYouDumb: Believed this as a child--and then met Pia, becoming an example of this himself.
* LoveRedeems: In a bit of a weird way.
* MadeOfIron: Literally gets stabbed in the back at one point but keeps on fighting without any problems.
* MagicKnight
* MoodSwinger
* MotorMouth
* NeverHurtAnInnocent: As part of his [[HitmanWithAHeart reformed image]].
* NumberTwo: To Pia, alongside Peria.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Most prominently in his fight against Lucile, but he seems to be fond of this in general.
* OneManArmy: A mild version as a preteen, as he needs Ryner's help to take down a group of Hidden Elites, but he's become the real deal by the present.
* ParentalAbandonment: They were servants whom Roland disposed of, sparking his obsession with becoming strong.
* PeekABangs
* PoisonedWeapons: He's an assassin, after all. In terms of a specific fight, he threatens Ryner with one to show that he could've killed him any time.
* ProfessionalKiller
* PunchClockVillain: Before his HeelFaceTurn.
* RagsToRiches: He went from being the child of slaves to a Hidden Elite, living like a noble, to one of the elites of the Azure Princess Mercenaries--i.e. one of the most powerful people in the world. Not too shabby.
* RebelliousSpirit
* SingleTargetSexuality: At age ten, Pia's the first person he was ever attracted to, and from there, the only person.
* SuicideByCop: By Pia's hands--minus the part where Pia thought that that was just stupid.
* TakingYouWithMe: He was prepared to do this in his fight against Lucile, with it being one of two outcomes. Fortunately, the other outcome--that they both survive--was what happened in the end.
* TerrorHero: The Intimidator type, when attacking Vois's army. By demonstrating his status as a OneManArmy, he was hoping to scare Vois's army into surrending quickly so as to avoid as many casualties as possible.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Like Ryner, he was essentially this during his Hidden Elite days.
* TookALevelInBadass: After meeting Pia, he worked even harder in order to catch up to her and Peria.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: A very efficient and remorseless assassin by age ''ten''.
* {{Tsundere}}: ''Dere'' for Pia, ''tsun'' towards Ryner and Peria, the latter of whom is essentially his best friend but whom Zohra continues to act as if he hates anyway.
* TykeBomb
* UnderestimatingBadassery: He thought Pia wasn't going to be much of a threat when they first fought. [[CurbStompBattle He was very, very wrong]].
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Peria.
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: Briefly, as while he realizes that he's physically attracted to Pia immediately, he then assumes he's also ''afraid'' of her before eventually catching on.
* WithFriendsLikeThese
* {{Yandere}}: PlayedForLaughs. While he did try to kill Peria when they first met and continues to threaten to do so, it's more in a VitriolicBestBuds fashion now.

!!Tiir Rumibul
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tiir_7495.png]]
-> Voiced by: Creator/TakahiroSakurai (JP), Creator/RobertMcCollum (EN)

An Iino Doue bearer and old enemy of Claugh's. He seeks to create a world where Cursed Eye bearers can live in peace.
----
* AntiHero[=/=]AntiVillain: Could be considered one of the two, considering that, despite his AxCrazy tendencies, he still is one of Ryner's allies, though which one generally depends on the specific situation. Now that he's learning to let go of his hatred, he seems to have settled on AntiHero.
* ArchEnemy: Claugh sees him as one.
* AnArmAndALeg: His arm gets cut off while fighting Lucile, but given his HealingFactor, it's not a problem. Considering what he did to [[spoiler:Claugh]], though, it's almost karmic.
* AxCrazy
* BadPowersBadPeople
* BadassLongcoat
* BattleButler: For Ene.
* BerserkButton: There are a lot of things he hates about humans, but the one thing he abhors above all else is betrayal, hence why he WillNotTellALie. Notably, for all his MoralMyopia, turning his back on an ally is the one line he will never cross.
* BerserkerTears: [[spoiler:After Ene's death, as he declares his intention to go on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge]].
* BigBrotherInstinct: Towards the [[MoralityPet children]] under his care.
* {{Bishonen}}
* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: One of Tiir's major flaws is his inability to see humans as anything other than scum (and, conversely, Cursed Eye bearers as anything other than friends).
* BlessedWithSuck: As powerful as Tiir's [[EnergyAbsorption Iino Doue]] makes him, Ryner notes that his consequent inability to use magic is a major drawback against opponents who wield Rule Fragments--namely Gastark, aka Tiir's biggest threat.
* BondOneLiner: The enemy wasn't dead, but they'd clearly lost the battle:
-->"Aren't you foolish livestock, for thinking that you could kill your predator?"
* BornWinner
* BreakTheHaughty: For all his talk about how strong he is, he [[spoiler:just can't seem to protect those he cares about, which he's aware of. This, his increasing desperation as Roland and Gastark conquer the continent, and Ryner's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech ultimately lead him to accepting humans as allies, as he realizes that he doesn't have much of a choice anymore]].
* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: A friendlier and more cheerful example, but he essentially has this dynamic with Ene.
* BrutalHonesty
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Mildly. His thought process isn't always... ''all'' there, as made clear while conversing with Ryner on the way to Lafra and co.
* CreepyShadowedUndereyes: Absent in the anime, though.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Likes to dish this out, with methods including EatenAlive, HalfTheManHeUsedToBe, OffWithHisHead, and YourHeadASplode.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
* CynicismCatalyst: He's lost a fair amount of friends to humans, only adding to his hatred.
* DarkIsEvil: At first.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Once he shifts more into AntiHero[=/=]AntiVillain territory.
* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: Part of what feeds his InferioritySuperiorityComplex. He's (unsuccessfully) trying to convince himself that the Cursed Eye bearers were meant for more than suffering and dying by the hands of humans.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette
* EnergyAbsorption
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes
* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[DrugsAreBad Disapproves of drug use]].
* EvilCounterpart: To Ryner, being the other primary Cursed Eye bearer in the series whose CharacterDevelopment somewhat mimics his as well. Whereas Ryner still liked humans, however, Tiir chose to resent them.
* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: Let's just say that Ryner doesn't appreciate his jokes related to cannibalism.
* EvilTastesGood
* ExplainingYourPowerToTheEnemy: After Sion makes a decent hypothesis regarding his powers, Tiir cheerfully affirms what was right and corrects what wasn't.
* FailureKnight: Blames himself for not being able to protect the other Cursed Eye bearers, whom he sees as family, which helps to explain why he's so concerned with keeping them alive.
* FailureToSaveMurder: See FailureKnight above.
* FauxAffablyEvil
* FriendToAllChildren: Ones with Cursed Eyes, at least.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom
* GoodThingYouCanHeal: He's received some sort of serious injury in half his appearances.
* HazyFeelTurn: While initially introduced as a villain, he's actually neutral as a whole, concerned mainly with the survival of his group--and though he sees himself as Ryner's ally, he's not quite on Ryner's side, per se. Eventually, though, as Tiir begins to move past his hatred towards humans, Ryner convinces him to become his ally for real.
* HealingFactor
* HearingVoices: It tells him to eat people. He complies.
* HeartbrokenBadass
* HiddenDepths: While a psychopathic mass murderer, he's not as much of a mindless villain as he initially looks. For starters, he's very domestic--good at cooking, playing house, looking after kids, etc.
* IHaveTheHighGround: Well, when you have amazing agility...
* IllKillYou: Towards Lieral a few times, and towards Lucile. Considering this is [[AxCrazy Tiir]] we're talking about, no one should be surprised.
* ImAHumanitarian
* ImmortalityBeginsAtTwenty: Of the 'immune to degeneration' variety.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Stabbed multiple times with stakes from the ground by Lieral during their fight.
* ImplacableMan
* InASingleBound
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Loves to talk about how superior the Cursed Eye bearers are to humans, but some of his lines, particularly to Ene, seem to indicate that his self-esteem is lower than you'd expect.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Around Ryner, due to a difference in ideals.
* MagicalEye
* MagneticHero: Denies that he's this for the rest of the God's Eyes bearers, despite Ene's claims to the contrary.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: When Lucile cuts off his arm, he doesn't react at all.
* MonsterSobStory: Not too hard to understand why he hates [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters humans]].
* MoralMyopia: He's actually quite friendly towards anyone he likes, which is any Cursed Eye bearer by default. To normal humans, not so much.
* MoralityPet: His friends are this to him--particularly Ene.
* NoSocialSkills: With his honesty and his warped idea on what's 'normal', some of his dialogue around Ryner can come across as a bit awkward from an outside perspective, even if he means well.
* NumberTwo: To Ene.
* ObviouslyEvil: The [[GlowingEyesOfDoom glowing]] [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes]], [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver black clothes]], [[ImAHumanitarian cannibalism]], and [[EvilTastesGood overall]] [[FauxAffablyEvil creepy manner]] should set off a few warning bells.
* OlderThanTheyLook: As Iino Doue bearers don't age and he apparently looks exactly as he did when Claugh first met him, he's presumably this.
* OneManArmy
* PetTheDog: His interactions with his friends.
* PlatonicLifePartners: It's not clear what exactly his relationship with Ene is, especially given their vague respective ages, but she's the most important person in his life.
* ProperlyParanoid: While he generalizes too much, his overall paranoia that humans will betray and hunt down his kind if given the chance ''is'' supported by him constantly witnessing such things over and over again.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver
* RedEyesTakeWarning
* RestoredMyFaithInHumanity: Ryner does this to him, in a bit of a strange example where Ryner himself, being a Cursed Eye bearer, isn't proof that not all humans are bad, but rather, his friends are--particularly Ferris. Tiir admits that he could bring himself to believe in her, at least, having seen her defend Ryner.
* {{Revenge}}: He's sworn this against Gastark. [[spoiler:Given that the People's Republic of Sphelliyet intend to ally with them and Tiir, however reluctantly, accepts this, it's likely nothing will come out of it.]]
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: He intended to do this [[spoiler:after Ene's death]], but he calms down.
* SelfMadeOrphan: Devoured his mother from within the womb. Yeah, Ryner was horrified too.
* SlasherSmile
* SmugSmiler
* SmugSuper
* SuperSpeed
* SuperStrength
* SupremeChef: Believe it or not, Ryner notes that his cooking's pretty good.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: He barely tolerates working with Lieral and only does it on Ene's orders.
* UngratefulBastard: Subverted. For all that Tiir hates humans (and Lieral especially), he's definitely thankful after Lieral [[spoiler:sacrifices himself to revive Ene]].
* VillainsOutShopping: After slaughtering an Estabul village and causing trouble for Roland in general, he... goes off to where his friends are waiting and cooks dinner for them?
* WillNotTellALie: To a friend.

!!Lafra
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lafra_9905.png]]
-> Voiced by: Kenichiro Ohashi (JP), Creator/AaronDismuke (EN)

An Ebra Crypt bearer and the one who informed Tiir of Ryner's existence. Having learned about Ryner from his dreams, he asks Ryner to bring salvation to the Cursed Eye bearers.
----
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
* DespairEventHorizon: There are hints that he's crossed this, given the implication that he [[spoiler:could've saved himself but chose not to]].
* [[spoiler:FacingTheBulletsOneLiner: Though said not to his attacker, Lir, but to Ryner, just before he's killed by Lir's Lightning Beasts]].
--> '''Lafra:''' "... I'm glad to have met you. You'll definitely keep your promise..."
* TheGadfly[=/=]InnocentlyInsensitive: He's one of the two when it comes to Ryner, though it's hard to tell which one exactly.
* [[spoiler:GoOutWithASmile: In the novels]].
* [[spoiler:KillTheCutie]]
* LongHairedPrettyBoy
* MagicalEye
* NiceGuy: A very kind and mild-mannered boy.
* PsychicPowers: His Ebra Crypt allows him to see into people's dreams.
* [[spoiler:SacrificialLion: Though he's killed soon after his introduction, his request leaves a lasting impact on Ryner, who almost always inevitably thinks of him whenever Gastark or the Cursed Eye bearers are brought up]].
* [[spoiler:SenselessSacrifice: He dies protecting Pueka, only for her to go berserk afterwards, allowing Lir to gouge out her eyes]].
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He doesn't have many appearances, but his request to Ryner has a noticeable impact on the latter's personality. Specifically, it's what drives him to look out for the Cursed Eye bearers.
* StepfordSmiler
* [[spoiler:TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth]]
* [[spoiler:WeHardlyKnewYe]]

!!Ene Lune
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ene_1657.png]]

A Torch Curse bearer and the leader of the God's Eyes bearers.
----
* [[spoiler:BackFromTheDead: Thanks to Lieral]].
* BadassBoast: She delivers one to the Priests, whom she knows must be listening to her:
-->"...you'll know further fear. Because we'll be helping him. We won't let anything go your way. We'll help him, and tear apart the worthless scenario you envisioned."
* BadassPacifist: She calms Lieral down simply by standing there and letting him strangle her, stating that it's fine even if he kills her.
* BlessedWithSuck: In return for being able to see the future, the sunlight burns her eyes, she's blind, and using her powers decreases her lifespan, meaning that she's essentially dying.
* BlindSeer
* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: The Gentle Girl to Tiir's Brooding Boy.
* CastFromLifespan
* TheChessmaster: While she never tries to change the future she sees, she's not above using her knowledge of said future or withholding information to ensure things go the way she wants.
* CruelToBeKind: Her discreet manipulation of Tiir has vibes of this, as Tiir didn't exactly enjoy receiving TheReasonYouSuckSpeech from Ryner (which Ene knew was going to happen), but she knew that it was for his own good.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindows
* [[spoiler:DePower]]
* DisabilitySuperpower
* DiseaseBleach: Her hair and eyes turned pale purple due to her power's 'poison'. [[spoiler:And then inverted, when they go back to being black once she loses her powers]].
* DissonantSerenity
* DoesNotLikeShoes
* [[spoiler:GoOutWithASmile]]
* [[spoiler:LaserGuidedAmnesia: She loses her memories upon being revived]].
* TheLeader: A mixture of Type II and IV.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Somewhat of one for Tiir.
* MagicalEye
* MagneticHero: Tiir describes her as possessing "a light that can charm others."
* MoralityPet: Tiir's. Made all the more obvious when [[spoiler:she's brought back as a human, forcing him to rethink his prejudice]].
* MysticalWhiteHair: Pale purple, technically, but the associations still apply.
* NervesOfSteel
* NotAfraidToDie: She even tells Tiir not to be so kind to her, lest she become afraid.
* OlderThanTheyLook
* OracularUrchin
* PerpetualSmiler: Albeit with some StepfordSmiler shades mixed in, as she can't be too happy with being BlessedWithSuck.
* PlatonicLifePartners: With Tiir.
* PurpleEyes: Originally black, but turned purple because of her powers. She's also one of the most knowledgeable characters around.
* RageAgainstTheHeavens
* RapunzelHair
* WaifProphet
* WomanInWhite
* YourDaysAreNumbered

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lieral_332.png]]
-> Voiced by: Creator/RikiyaKoyama (JP), Creator/JasonDouglas (EN)

A mysterious and extremely powerful man whom Sion and Lucile seem to view as an enemy. [[spoiler:He's Ryner's dad who cares only about looking out for his family]].
----
* [[spoiler:AbsurdlyYouthfulFather: Due to being TheAgeless and/or being able to shapeshift. This is why Ryner initially refuses to believe that Lieral could be his father, as he apparently hasn't aged a day in the last fifteen years.]]
* TheAce: It's agreed upon by everyone who knows him that he's by far the most powerful human around. [[spoiler:Oh, and that even Ryner doesn't hold a candle to him.]]
* AntiHero[=/=]AntiVillain: Much like Tiir, while his ultimate motivations are sympathetic, which of the two tropes he is tends to depend on the situation.
* [[spoiler:ActionDad]]
* {{Adorkable}}: Believe it or not, he was this when it came to Iruna.
* AffablyEvil: Very friendly if you ignore his ''heavily'' skewed moral compass.
* [[spoiler:TheAgeless]]
* AlliterativeName
* [[spoiler:AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Especially when it comes to Ryner's love life]].
* BadassBookworm
* [[spoiler:BadassFamily]]
* BadassFingerSnap: Does this on occasion, given his level of magic.
* BadassInANiceSuit
* TheBeard: Occasionally went out with girls so that his family would think he was at least ''trying'' to find someone, even if he wasn't really.
* BerserkButton: He doesn't react well when Ene tells him that he's been deceived.
* BlondGuysAreEvil: Or at least crazy and caring about very few.
* BlueBlood
* BrokenAce: In his own words, entirely sincerely:
-->''Regrettably, I am a genius.''
* BystanderSyndrome: When younger, as he considered the possibility that Roland was cursed... before deciding that it wasn't his job to fix things. [[spoiler:Like father, like son]].
* CelibateHero: Before meeting Iruna, he was asexual.
* [[spoiler:ChekhovMIA]]
* TheChessmaster
* {{Child Prodigy}}/TeenGenius: Was one.
* CombatCompliment: He's praised a fair number of his opponents.
* [[spoiler:DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: The Goddesses and whatnot couldn't notice Ryner for Ryner's own safety, and seeing as how Lieral had caught their attention, staying with Ryner wouldn't have been very safe]].
* DeclarationOfProtection: He swore to protect his family at all costs. [[spoiler:He half-succeeded]].
* DoggedNiceGuy: Towards Iruna in the past, though she ended up reciprocating his feelings much sooner than the typical example, as his utter perseverance touched her.
* TheGadfly: Hence why he's not very popular with the other characters.
* [[spoiler:GoOutWithASmile]]
* [[spoiler:GoodParents: Teasing aside, it's undeniable how much he cares for his son]].
* HappilyMarried: Or at least he was, before things got worse.
* HeartbrokenBadass
* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice: He uses the last of his magic to bring Ene back to life, thus disappearing for good]].
* KillTheOnesYouLove: To [[spoiler:save Ryner]], he had to sacrifice (the willing) Iruna.
* [[spoiler:KnightTemplarParent]]
* LoveAtFirstSight: With Iruna.
* LoveMakesYouCrazy
* TheMadHatter: Not quite loopy, exactly, but he fully acknowledges that he's a madman who would break the entire world if that's what it took to [[spoiler:save his son]].
* ManipulativeBastard: You can thank him for the way Lucile turned out.
* MistakenForGay: His father initially assumed this to be the reason he wasn't interested in girls.
* [[spoiler:MysteriousParent]]
* NighInvulnerability
* [[spoiler:NoBodyLeftBehind]]
* NobleFugitive: Granted, he [[spoiler:screwed over the world for the sake of his son]], so he might kind of deserve to be labelled as a traitor.
* NominalHero: As someone who sees a lot of himself in Lucile, it should be no surprise that he's motivated only by the well-being of his loved ones.
* [[spoiler:ObiWanMoment]]
* [[spoiler:OlderThanTheyLook: Though he can change whatever age he appears as]].
* PetTheDog: After spending most of his appearances seeming to care about no one other than his family, he [[spoiler:sacrifices himself for Ene, realizing that her death is partly his own fault]].
* PleaseDontLeaveMe: To Iruna before she sacrificed herself, despite knowing they were at a point where that was no longer possible.
* SecretTestOfCharacter: [[spoiler:He tests Ferris in his debut to see if she cares for Ryner above all else]].
* [[spoiler:SharedFamilyQuirks: See Ryner's section]].
* ShelteredAristocrat: Used to be one, as he was too focused on magic to realize how corrupt the country was.
* ShipperOnDeck: Openly supports [[spoiler:Ryner and Ferris]], much to their embarassment. Knowing [[TheGadfly Lieral]], though, he could just be doing it for the fun of it.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Never had any interest in romance whatsoever--and then Iruna happened.
* SpannerInTheWorks: One for the entire world, since [[spoiler:the gods were really not expecting anyone to willingly break the world for his son]].
* StoryBreakerPower: Being a magic genius to end all geniuses, he has virtually a method for everything. However, he mostly stays in the background, seeing as how he [[spoiler:only cares about protecting Ryner, but is unable to stay close]] and so works more so by manipulating others and interfering directly only when necessary.
* SuperpowerLottery
* [[spoiler:TogetherInDeath: With Iruna]].
* TheUnfettered
* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:Remurus's]].
* [[spoiler:VoluntaryShapeshifting]]
* [[spoiler:WackyParentSeriousChild]]
* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler:It's rather difficult to talk about him without revealing that he's Ryner's father]].
* YourDaysAreNumbered: His existence is fading away--[[spoiler:Iruna's death]] is a sign that he's going to disappear sooner or later.

!!Iruna Lieutolu
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iruna_8462.png]]
-> Voiced by: Yuko Gibu (JP)

Lieral's wife and the light of his life. Unlike her husband, she was a commoner before marrying him.
----
* [[spoiler:AbsurdlyYouthfulMother: For similar reasons to Lieral.]]
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Received a lot of flack for being a commoner who married a noble.
* [[spoiler:BadassFamily]]
* BadassPacifist: Not a fighter like her husband, but you have to admit that someone who [[spoiler:gracefully subjects herself to years of suffering all to protect her son]] is pretty impressive. There's a reason Lieral believes she deserved better than him.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: A gentle and sweet lady... who, when pushed to desperation, was going to MercyKill [[spoiler:her son]].
* [[spoiler:ChekhovMIA]]
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: While her eyes appear as green, they're technically black. [[spoiler:She's the one who Ryner got his hair and eyes from, after all]].
* DrivenToSuicide: Almost, before Lieral stopped her.
* GoOutWithASmile: While not quite dying, she was smiling when her body was sacrificed. [[spoiler:Same goes for when she died for real.]]
* [[spoiler:GoodParents]]
* HappilyMarried
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:She had to die in order to protect Ryner]].
* ItsAllMyFault: [[spoiler:That her and Lieral's son turned out to be an Alpha Stigma bearer]].
* [[spoiler:KnightTemplarParent]]
* LoveMakesYouCrazy
* [[spoiler:MamaBear]]
* MercyKill: Intended to do this to [[spoiler:Ryner--or rather, Felna--as it would be a kinder fate than letting the military have him]], but again, Lieral interfered.
* RagsToRiches
* SilkHidingSteel
* [[spoiler:TogetherInDeath]]
* WalkingSpoiler: In the same way as Lieral.

!!The Mad Hero

Otherwise known as [[spoiler:Asruld Roland]]. [[spoiler:He was created for the sake of killing the Goddesses, which eventually led to him meeting Ryner Eris Reed--and from there, the rest is history]].
----
* AmbiguouslyEvil: Often not portrayed in the kindest of lights, given that he wanted to destroy everything, but when [[spoiler:'everything' was primarily the Goddesses, who aren't exactly saints, and he wasn't actually capable of thinking any other way,]] it's hard to pin him down.
* AttackAttackAttack: Yeah, he's not too good at anything other than attacking everything.
* AxCrazy
* CannibalismSuperpower: [[spoiler:Devours the 'Ryner' half of Ryner Eris Reed to obtain his power]].
* ChekhovsGunman: In the anime, [[spoiler:he appears both in the first opening and as the 'hero' while Ryner explains about the Hero Relics in the first episode]].
* DespairEventHorizon: Briefly approached this, when he thought that he'd lost the meaning to his life. Preventing this was why [[spoiler:Ryner Eris Reed offered half his body to him]].
* HunterOfHisOwnKind
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While obsessed with destroying everything, he does [[spoiler:does appreciate having Ryner by his side, stating that he might've gone insane without him]].

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: The ''Mad'' Hero.
* OneManArmy

Otherwise known as [[spoiler:Ryner Eris Reed]]. [[spoiler:His origins are a mystery. Trapped in a separate dimension for countless years, he eventually met Asruld, from which everything began]].

* TheCorrupter: [[spoiler:The Eris demon was this for the Eris family]].
* DissonantSerenity
* EldritchAbomination: Viewed as this by others, despite generally being well-meaning.
* EmotionlessGirl: In Sion Note, [[spoiler:the Eris half takes the form of one, as most emotions went to the Ryner half]].

* IJustWantToHaveFriends
* LoveMakesYouCrazy: Or rather, he already was a bit... odd in the head to begin with, but it just got worse after meeting the Mad Hero.
* LoveMartyr: Comes across as this at first, but ultimately subverted. [[spoiler:Sacrificing himself for Asruld benefited him just as much as it benefited Asruld, really]].

* [[spoiler:NonIronicClown]]

* [[spoiler:RealityWarper]]
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld

* [[spoiler:SymbioticPossession: Of Asruld]].
* UndyingLoyalty: Whoo boy.

* [[spoiler:AntiVillain: In Remrus's tower. See HeroAntagonist for more details.]]

* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: As both Claugh and Ryner note, Luke's manipulative and occasional competitiveness don't go with his kindergartener teacher-esque appearance.

* [[spoiler:HeroAntagonist: Upon realizing that either Sion or Ryner might have to die in order for the world to be saved, Luke makes a serious attempt to do so in Remrus's tower, though with Claugh/Peria/Zohra getting in his way, he ultimately decides to see if they can TakeAThirdOption instead.]]

* AFriendInNeed

* [[spoiler:ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Occasionally due to outside forces, though. First forced to betray Estabul for Roland, then forced to betray her friends for her sister, and then betrays Gastark for Ryner]].

* BadassOnPaper: See ShroudedInMyth below.

* BreakTheBadass: Lucile did a mild form of this during their first meeting, and Ryner briefly flips out in his fight with Lir, after witnessing [[spoiler:the slaughter of the Cursed Eye bearers]].

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: He barely tolerates working with [[spoiler:Lieral]].

* BenevolentBoss: Is willing to die for his subordinates if need be. Unfortunately (?) for him, they're just as willing to die for ''him''.
* BestServedCold: Subverted. [[spoiler:He waited just a bit too long--Luke beat him to it. He also fails to exact revenge against Tiir, who proceeds to do even worse and completely devour his arm this time]].
* TheBigGuy: In Sion's FiveManBand.

* BadassDamsel: In her first damsel moment, rather than have Claugh fight to save her and risk his death, she instead convinces Froaude on her own to spare her life.
