- Badass Longcoat: His main attire and looks stylish.
- The Captain: Of the Anti-Valkyria Squad, Vanargand
- The Hero: The entire game is from his point of view.
- Heroic BSoD: He goes completely catatonic after hearing about Hans' death. Ironically, it was Hans' letter that jolted him to spring back into action.
- He Who Fights Monsters: Later on in the game, he becomes the very thing that killed his orphanage.
- Kill the Ones You Love: Is forced to kill his beloved teacher, who at this point is already Valkyrian.
- My God, What Have I Done?: After sending Hans to his death plus hearing his teacher talk through the Valkyria, he starts having doubts about their revenge and its costs.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The entire reason why their Dark and Troubled Past happened is that he and the others made a pendant that had a lot of ragnite and mana on it. Then the Empire came found out that Maria had a strong affinity to become the Valkyria's vessel thanks to the pendant.

The Circle of Five
In General
The Five Traitors
The Circle of Five are the co-conspirators responsible for the war between Jutland and the Ruzhien Empire.- Breaking the Fellowship: As the war goes on and Amleth's sanity is slipping, Violette's emotional state, Fritte's own emotional state, only Solomon and Basil take up the fight and they kept losing as the area they're trying to attack is a minefield.
- Faking the Dead: It is somewhat implied that the Five were actually saved by Ophelia and the other Vanargand members during the ending sequence, since ghosts do not walk past their own grave during the day. This is further enforced by the fact that the execution was privately done, meaning that nobody actually witnessed the Five die! And if one unlocks the secret ending, it is very obvious that Ophelia had no intention to allow the Five to commit suicide by proxy.
- Government Conspiracy: They advance the war all the way to Ruzhein so that they can get the emperor who kidnapped their Cool Teacher and rescue her in the process.
- Hero with Bad Publicity: History brands them as criminals for starting a war.
- The Greatest Story Never Told: History only knows them as criminals and traitors to the country while in reality, they actually made Jutland a much better place. A researcher however wants the truth to come out 100 years later.
- The Infiltration: All five infiltrate the business, military, government, intelligence, and news sectors of the country.
- Killed to Uphold the Masquerade: What truly happened and why they had to die so that Ophelia will be shielded from any kind of backlash from public opinion as they have learned that words are very powerful enough to sway public opinion. Ophelia rejected this, claiming that she was going to be ready for it when the five decided against it, claiming they can't risk Jutland's savior.
- Laser-Guided Karma: They made sure they get it by telling the princess, who at this point was already part of the crew, to announce to the citizens that they are war criminals. She's not happy to do so.
- Revenge: They want revenge from the emperor and the five generals for kidnapping their foster mom and teacher, killing the rest of the children and setting their orphanage on fire.
- True Companions: From the day they met to the day they die or perhaps not, they were always together.
