Main characters

Shared Tropes

Amnesiac Hero: Lann and Reynn have no memories by the beginning of the game but gradually regain them as the plot progresses. It's worth noting that some of these memories are lost altogether, but the ones they remember are not, and they just have to be reminded of them again.
Amnesiac Protagonist Catalyst: And it turns out the current problem at hand is all their fault. See Hero with Bad Publicity and Nice Job Breaking It, Hero.
Chosen One: According to Grymoire's prophecy, the twins are this. Averted later on, as it turns out Segwarides made it up to manipulate them into letting the Cogna into Grymoire.
Evil Is Not a Toy: As revealed during the plot, the entire mess with the Bahamutian army is their fault; they, arrogantly believing that they were destined to bring peace to the world, brushed off Hauyn's warnings and opened the Ultima Gate, resulting in Brandelis coming through and invading Grymoire.
Hero with Bad Publicity: Both Lann and Reynn suffered this in the past; they collected many powerful Mirages, but failed to control them well and let them do whatever they wanted. The trouble these unchecked Mirages caused dubbed the twins "the Demon Dyad".
Heroic Sacrifice: At the end of the second timeline (true ending), the twins decide to pin down Brandelis and allow themselves to be sucked into the Ultima Gate with him to end the Exnine Army's rampage. Also doubles as a downplayed form of Redemption Equals Death, given that it was they who unwittingly released Brandelis in the first place.
In the Blood: Their mother Lusse was a Breaker, with the power to bend the rules of A-Worlds, while their father was an Architect, who could create the supernatural like Prisms. The Who's Who notes that they didn't exactly receive these powers with even division; Lann ended up with a bias towards Rorrik's Architect powers (hence his creation of crystal cages), while Reynn had a stronger influence with Lusse's Breaker powers (hence her knife-style combat).
Mark of the Supernatural: They both have black markings on their arms; Lann's is on his left, and Reynn's is on her right. These markings are proof of their status as Mirage Masters, and turn into armoured gauntlets in battle.
Meaningful Name: Lann has markings on his left hand, while Reynn has markings on her right hand.
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The twins pull this off twice. The first was summoning Brandelis and his Exnine Knights into their world out of the arrogant belief that they were destined to bring peace to the world, which not only allows their parents to be possessed by two members, but destroys their home and kicks off the plot. The second time, they were misled by a false prophecy created by Segwarides to unwittingly summon the Cogna into the world and finish what they started.
Pals with Jesus: One of their allies, Enna Kros, outright refers to herself as God. Sure enough, she's actually an Alexander responsible for the creation of numerous worlds (dubbed A-Worlds) and Champions.
Smug Super: They had shades of this in the past. When their father warned them to bring their Mirages under control, they brushed him off, believing he was simply jealous that they could control Mirages while he couldn't.
Unwitting Pawn: Lann and Reynn are manipulated by a false prophecy and promise to see their mother, which eventually leads to them inadvertently summoning the Cogna.

Lann

"Fire got you down? All you gotta do then is blow it out, baby!"

Voiced by: Soma Saito (Japanese), Josh Keaton (English)

One of the main protagonists of the story. He, along with his sister Reynn, set out into the world of Grymoire without any recollection of their previous memories.

Bare-Fisted Monk: Rather than take up a proper weapon like Reynn, he just strikes enemies with his gauntlet hand.
Boke and Tsukkomi Routine: Per Word of God, he and Reynn are intended as this. He's Boke (funny man) and Reynn is Tsukkomi (straight man). Though that's not hard to guess.
Book Dumb: His immediate reaction to Tometown, a city that seems to be made of bookshelves, is "I have zero use for this".
Butt-Monkey: No one in Grymoire passes up the opportunity to insult Lann except the Heralds, who don't bother Poking The Poodle. Culminates in an endgame, highly expositional cutscene describing their Mirage Keeper powers, where Reynn, Tama, and Hauyn proceed to lament Reynn being related to Lann by blood.
11th-Hour Superpower: When he taps into his Architect powers, Lann's gauntlet turns into a massive, mechanical arm that starts at his shoulder and extends as long as he is tall. This doesn't start happening until the bad ending.
Gosh Dang It to Heck!: Lann would be the most fouled mouth protagonist this side of Cid Highwind if his choice of expletives didn't include words like 'honk' and 'shmup'. He does drop the former every time something happens.
Got Me Doing It: Picks up Tama's the-habit every so often, notably when the-Reynn vanishes after using a the-device when he doesn't the-know what it does.
Heroic Sacrifice: In the first timeline (bad ending), he's too angry to keep full control of his power and ends up trapping himself and Brandelis in a haphazard mess of crystal cages. The Who's Who notes that whenever there is great and immediate danger, his first reaction is to put himself between said danger and Reynn, although this usually doesn't go through.
Hot-Blooded: Likes to jump into dangerous situations, and capturing Mirages without a second thought.
Idiot Hero: He's prone to mishearing words and going off on tangents, sticking to them even after being informed that they're talking about something else.
Malaproper: He is this full-stop, to the point of it being a Running Gag. He seems to be aware of it, too; when he's trying to convince Reynn to join him to the Crystal Tower, he stops and asks Tama for the appropriate word to avoid the risk of a conversational derail (although that doesn't stop him from immediately mispronouncing it).
Lann: Tama?
Tama: I believe the word you're looking for is "preordained."
Lann: Right! There's no way all of this could have been preordinated.
My Greatest Failure: Takes unwittingly letting the vicious Cogna into Grymoire really hard, which is what drives him to do whatever it takes to stop Brandelis, even to the point of inadvertently sealing himself away with him.
Reused Character Design: Lann's hairstyle is very similar to that of Roxas and Ventus.
Right for the Wrong Reasons: Deduces that Castle Cornelia is at the top of the city (which is built into a ridiculously steep incline)... by mishearing it as "Casa Cornelius" and assuming that "Casa" means "up".
Tama: Well, you've the-got the direction correct, even if the rest of that was completely off the-base.
Roaring Rampage of Revenge: At the end of Chapter 21, Segwarides and Pellinore are dead... revealing that they had transformed the bodies of Lusse and Rorrik. While Hauyn is struggling to help them, Brandelis descends in a fireball, leaving nothing but scorch marks where they had been. Lann, who is already in My Greatest Failure mode, takes "roaring" to one of the highest peaks of any Final Fantasy protagonist.
Lann: No. You... you... are nothing but dust!
Super Mode: When he taps into his latent Architect powers, his gauntlet turns into a massive mechanical arm at least as long as he is tall, with enough power behind it to Punch Parry Brandelis. During the game's events, he only manifests crystal cages in this state, although the flashback after the first fight with Pellinore and Segwarides shows he can create them without it.
Unusual Euphemism: "What the honk?!"

Reynn

"The door to our memories is the future."

Voiced by: Sora Amamiya (Japanese), Amanda Leighton (English)

One of the main protagonists of the story. She, along with her brother Lann, set out into the world of Grymoire without any recollection of their previous memories.

Angrish: She delves into this when she's really angry, such as when she's trying to chase down the cactuar conductor.
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Platonic example. For all the snarking she gives her brother, they really do care for one another, as shown when Lann sacrifices himself to seal Brandelis, and she breaks down crying; leading into the second timeline so she and her brother can Set Right What Once Went Wrong and prevent the first ending from happening.
Berserk Button: The cactuar conductor is a pro at pushing hers.
Boke and Tsukkomi Routine: Per Word of God, she and Lann are intended as this. She's Tsukkomi (straight man) and Lann is Boke (funny man). Though that's not hard to guess.
Break the Cutie: After she saw her brother sacrifice himself to seal Brandelis. She breaks down and cries. She returns to Nine Woods Hills only to walk and falls to deep despair with only Tama to help her.
Breaking the Fourth Wall: Tries so very hard to avert this trope, and calls out the others when they play it straight.
Hartman Hips: Has wide hips for her age.
Heroic BSoD: Does not take Lann sacrificing himself to seal away Brandelis well.
My Greatest Second Chance: Reynn has this after Tama sacrifices herself to help Reynn Set Right What Once Went Wrong that erased Tama's existence. Thankfully, Reynn managed to bring Tama back.
Not So Above It All: Occasionally dabbles in Lann and Tama's humor, despite being critical towards them. She even has a few humorous moments herself.
Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory: After Tama sacrifices her lives to reset the timeline, Reynn still remembers the original timeline in which she was a part of the journey and handled the duties that Serafie is now handling in the new timeline. The game is a bit less clear about the whole memory thing after Tama is restored.
Straight Man: She's the smarter, more focused one to Lann's Wise Guy.
Unusual Euphemism: At one point calls Lann "full of elixirs".
Women Are Wiser: She's much smarter than Lann.
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Is deathly afraid of ghosts and the creepy kind of supernatural.

Tama

"Salu-the-tations! The name is Tama and I'm the-here to help out."

Voiced by: Ayana Taketatsu (Japanese), Lisa Kay Jennings (English)

A little companion that travels around with the heroes. She points out the basics of the game, and tries to help them in their journey.

Asian Fox Spirit: Tama's a little white fox creature, and was shown to become an actual multi-tailed fox in the opening and as her next leveled form near the end of the game.
Disney Death: Later on, she sacrifices all of her nine lives to give the heroes another chance at stopping the Big Bad. Although this results in her complete erasure, the heroes bring her back by adding another soul to her sacrifice. This alters the timeline so that she can regenerate from a lone soul.
Empathy Pet: Between the points of "the twins have awoken in the isolated Nine Wood Hills" and "Enna Kros points out that there's been a fox riding on Lann's head for the past ten minutes", Tama plays this role.
Evolution Power-Up: Tama becomes Tamamohimé near the end of the game.
Game-Over Man: She shows up on the Game Over screen fallen over, with the titular words over her.
Jack of All Stats: Her Mirage Board certainly gears towards this, what with being loaded with stat increases of all kinds. However, she gears a bit more towards magic later on.
Non-Human Sidekick: To Lann and Reynn.
Playing with Fire: Has the ability Foxfire to deal fire damage to enemies.
Ret-Gone: In order to give Reynn a second chance at defeating Brandelis, Tama sacrifices all her nine lives to rewind time. This completely erases Tama's existence in the present day in the new timeline, and is only remembered by Reynn and Serafie. In Serafie's memory, she is an old friend not seen in a long time.
Starter Mon: She's the first Mon you get to fight with, she's a unique character who doesn't evolve except in plot events, and even if you take her out of your party, she continues to appear in cutscenes.
Tastes Like Purple: Tama claims that she smells like rainbows.
Verbal Tic: Not unlike the-Starfire^noteEspecially her Go! incarnation., Tama tends to add the-"the" to a lot of the-words in her speech.
- Meanwhile, the original Japanese version has all of her sentences ending with "です/desu"^notePolite form of "is/it is", even when it would technically be grammatically incorrect to do so.
Vitriolic Best Buds: With Serafie. The two have a fierce rivalry with each other.

Serafie

"I'm so bored... Uh, I mean... Boy, do I work hard!"

Voiced by: Eri Kitamura (Japanese), Nancy Sullivan (English)

A very laid-back Pixie/Sylph Mirage that become (temporary) Navigator for Lann and Reynn after Tama disappears. Although, it's temporary because Lann and Reynn find a way that bring her back. Always watering flowers. She tends to hang out in Nine Wood Hills and manages the Prism Case, so players can switch Mirages in and out of the active party.

Blow You Away: She gets the Aero line of spells.
Deadpan Snarker: Serafie is really snarky.
Evolution Power-Up: She really wants one and laments that she can't do it, until the player completes enough Intervention Quests and she becomes Diva Serafie, a Siren-type Mirage.
Failed a Spot Check: On occasion when passing through Nine Wood Hills, the player can notice something sitting on her head and ask her about it. She never notices until it's pointed out but gives you whatever item it is.
Gossipy Hens: She manages the rumor mill, which helps to unlock sidequests.
Make Some Noise: In battle, she gains the Silent Voice ability as Diva Serafie.
Non-Human Sidekick: To Lann and Reynn, like Tama. She even takes Tama's place temporarily after her sacrifice to help Reynn.
The Slacker: She tends to be pretty lazy and talks with long, drawn-out words as if she's always tired or complaining.
Support Party Member: She gets spells like Tickle (to make toppling enemy stacks easier), Balance (to restore the party's stack balance), and Haste, Reflect, and Confuse.
Vitriolic Best Buds: With Tama, with whom she has a fierce rivalry.

Supporting Characters

Enna Kros

"Me? Oh, well... I'm God."

Voiced by: Kana Hanazawa (Japanese), Cassandra Lee Morris (English)

The person who starts off the quest of the protagonists.

Canon Character All Along: She’s revealed to be an Alexander, a recurring Final Fantasy summon. While the one native to Grymoire serves as the dungeon Big Bridge, she's responsible for many, many worlds, dubbed A-Worlds by certain sources.
Exact Words: She tells Lann and Reynn that although they don't remember Grymoire, Grymoire still remembers them. Turns out, that doesn't mean Grymoire remembers them fondly: their irresponsibility with Mirages and the less-than-benevolent actions of the Pleiad (Diabolos and Bahamut in particular) led to them being recorded as the "Demon Dyad".
Fusion Dance: It is eventually revealed that Enna Kros’s soul is the fusion of a human female soldier named Roksanne and the most powerful Alexander Mirage.
God Is Good: She's been watching over Lann and Reynn in Nine Wood Hills while they've been... 'sleeping', and sends them to Grymoire to help them restore their memory as well as to right their wrong with the Exnine Knights.
God's Hands Are Tied: In her words, she made the rules such that she herself cannot break them.
Great Big Book of Everything: Enna Kros is clearly not her actual name, considering the pause during her self-introduction. The Who's Who entries in the twins' room eventually reveal her real name: Alexander.
Meaningful Name: Her true name, Alexander, is always a Holy-elemental summon in game that have a Holy element, and one of the more powerful ones to boot and also adding her attacks using two different variations of Holy: Kinda Sorta Holy and Pretty Strong Holy. Her given name of “Enna Kros” is an anagram of “Roksanne”, the identity of the woman who forms the human half of her soul.
Mystical White Hair: She has white hair and is the God of the story.
No-Sell: When fighting against her in Maxima, she does not even flinch one bit from the attacks Lann and Reynn use from their Mirrages and Champion Medals. Even if she has no HP left. She still remains standing as she was from the start of the fight.
One-Steve Limit: Averted. Her true name, Alexander, is shared with the true name of the Big Bridge where Gilgamesh is fought. Like with any other Mirage, “Alexander” is the name of a species, not an individual.
Physical God: She is the god that created the land that the heroes have been living in as well as Grymoire.
Significant Anagram: Her name is an anagram of her former human identity's name Roksanne.
Sweet Tooth: Much like Edea Lee, she puts way too much sugar in her coffee. She specifically asks for "the whole jar of sugar" and puts thirteen cubes in.
Thanking the Viewer: She thanks the player in the middle of the true ending credits.

The Caged Summoner (SPOILERS)

Hauyn

"You opened it again."

Voiced by: Maaya Uchida (Japanese), Eden Riegel (English)

A young summoner who has some connection to Lann and Reynn.

Affectionate Nickname: Those close to her call her "Wyn."
Cassandra Truth: She knew all along that Lann and Reynn's plan to open the Ultima Gate would end in disaster, but the twins refused to listen to her and trapped her in a Crystal Prison to stop her from interfering. Considering the fact that they ended up unleashing Brandelis and kicking off the entire plot, they should've listened.
Combat Stilettos: Subverted; her boots have some noticeable heels, and she carries a crystal knife like Reynn, but the cutscene before the Dual Boss fight with Segwarides and Pellinore shows that her combat role is mostly directing Siren, and an optional conversation in the Nonary Region reveals the knife is mostly a summoning aid.
Happily Adopted: She was adopted by Lann and Reynn's mother, and is utterly devoted to her.
Jerkass Has a Point: During a confrontation with Lann and Reynn, she eventually loses her temper and gives them a tongue-lashing, outright telling them that they bring nothing but pain and chaos to Grymoire and ordering them to leave. As it turns out, she's far from wrong; not only were Lann and Reynn dubbed the "Demon Dyad" for their failure to keep their Mirages in check, but they themselves are the ones who summoned Brandelis to Grymoire in the first place
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero:
- A flashback cutscene implies (and Reynn's diary confirms) that Hauyn was the one who told the twins about the gods of the Extraverse with the implication that summoning them would help their intention of lifting Lusse's burden.
- There's also the fact that, after being freed from the crystal cage, she defiantly refuses to tell the twins anything about the past they've forgotten, which leads to Lann and Reynn killing off Pellinore and Segwarides before realizing that they were possessing Lusse and Rorrik, which in turn leads to Brandelis killing Hauyn, Lann getting pissed off enough to sacrifice himself, Reynn retreating to Nine Wood Hills in sorrow, and the Cogna taking over Grymoire entire. This even (briefly) continues into the second timeline, until Reynn confirms that she now remembers the events in question.
Mystical White Hair: A user of Summon Magic with long white hair.
Promoted to Playable: After the game is finished, Hauyn becomes the playable character, since Lann and Reynn had to perform a Heroic Sacrifice. The player then controls all three in the field and can even change Hauyn between Lilikin and Jiant forms, but she doesn't actually participate in battles.
Tearful Smile: At the end of the second timeline (true ending), she forces herself to muster a smile at the twins' request, even as it is obvious that her heart is breaking over the two of them deciding to sacrifice themselves to remove Brandelis from Grymoire for good.

The Girl Who Forgot Her Name

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/teachild_min.png

"Whose soul will you touch?"

Voiced by: Aya Hirano (Japanese), Jade Pettyjohn (English)

A mysterious girl that resides in a pocket dimension, where she can reach out to the souls of Grymoire and allow the twins to briefly intervene to aid them, and give the twins the means to use their power in return. Basically, she gives out Meanwhile Scene sidequests and sells them Champion Medals.

Canon Character All Along: Her Who's Who's bio states, short of actually giving her name, that she's Neon Tsukiyumi, long after the events of her own game.
Chekhov's Boomerang: Her power to cross time and space to touch souls become a major plot point when the Cogna invade, and Lann and Reynn exploit her powers to help multiple allies in Grymoire fight back all at once. She later becomes important again when Reynn begins the second timeline, and they go to the Girl Who Forgot Her Name to get her help in saving Tama's soul and undoing her Heroic Sacrifice.
Dimensional Traveler: She came from outside the Realms of Fantasy that Enna Kros created.
Dreaming of Things to Come: It's how she foresaw that Segwarides thought up a way to destroy Grymoire, and there wasn't much time left—so she woke up the twins.
No Name Given: She's never named in-game, but her Who's Who bio reveals that she's Neon Tsukiyumi from Sigma Harmonics.

Lusse Farna

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/woff_lusse.png

Voiced by: Keiko Han (Japanese), Jennifer Hale (English)

The wife of Rorrik and mother of Lann, Reynn, and Hauyn.

Good Parents: Lusse and Rorrik loved and cared about their children. However, she coddled Lann and Reynn too much and built up their egos without establishing a sense of responsibility and respect in them.
Summon Magic: She was said to be a powerful summoner, something that her adopted daughter Hauyn inherits.

Rorrik

Voiced by: Hideyuki Tanaka (Japanese), Richard Tatum (English)

The husband of Lusse and father of Lann, Reynn, and Hauyn. He was said to be a skilled Architect.

Good Parents: Rorrik and Lusse loved and cared about their children. Disciplining them however, he wasn't that good at, and they didn't respect him due to keeping his work secret from them.

Cid

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/woff_cid.png

Voiced by: Showtaro Morikubo (Japanese), William Salyers (English)

A robot who lives in the Library of the Ancients and insists he is a human.

Bookworm: Comes with living in the Library of the Ancients. He is glad for his robotic body that gives him all the time in the world to read without a need for eating or sleeping.
Brain Uploading: He used to be human, but to survive after a fatal accident he uploaded himself into a robot body.
Cloudcuckoolander: He tends to be a bit odd and often goes off on tangents.
Legacy Character: He isn't a Cid whose soul was taken from another world like the other crossover characters - instead, the world of Grymoire knew that a world must have a Cid, so it created him.
Murderous Malfunctioning Machine: It happens sometimes, but it isn't a big deal because Celes usually keeps him under control.

Bahamutian Federation

Generals of the Bahamutian Federation

Also known as: Order of the Circle, Exnine Knights

Co-Dragons: Pellinore and Segwarides both serve as agents for Brandelis.
Luke, I Am Your Father: Pellinore and Segwarides are really the twins' parents, Lusse and Rorrik, possessed by Exnine Knights.
Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: The Exnine Knights are each fused from a human, an esper (elite Mirage) and a god from the Extraverse (which are described in the Who's Who as 'cyborgs' of some description).
Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: All Bahamutian generals are named after Knights of the Round Table from Arthurian mythology.

Pellinore

"I tire of simply waiting. A chase is more to my liking."

Also known as: Plumed Knight, Valigarmanda Pellinore, Ex9-III-4

Voiced by: Keiko Han (Japanese), Jennifer Hale (English)

A key officer of the Bahamutian Federation. She kidnaps summoners around Grymoire, to see the Crimson Prophecy fulfilled for some mysterious cause.

Black Knight: Like many other Final Fantasy villains, she is a knight in head to toe black armor.
Blade Below the Shoulder: She uses a set of blades resembling bird talons as her weapon of choice.
Co-Dragons: She and Segwarides jointly act as Brandelis's second-in-command and carry out his will, with neither of them superior to the other. Pellinore takes to the field more often out of the two of them, while Segwarides is something of an Evil Genius.
Fighting from the Inside: Lusse visibly struggles to regain control of her body on several occasions, but her resistance never lasts more than a few seconds.
Fire, Ice, Lightning: Can use magic of those three elements in battle, plus the multi-elemental spell Tri-Disaster. Fittingly, she was partially created from a Valigarmanda-class esper.
Kidnapping Bird of Prey: Invoked; Pellinore wears bird-like armor and is kidnapping summoners so Brandelis can use their powers to summon the Cogna into Grymoire.
Life Drain: Bloody Claw, where she attacks with the claw on her right hand.
Rewatch Bonus: Being able to suppress the twins powers makes more sense when you realize that she's actually a possessed Lady Lusse.
Signature Move: Freezing Dust has her summon three ice spheres to attack the party. Upgrades to Tri-Disaster during her third fight, which adds flame and lightning to the mix.
Spikes of Villainy: For the last fight, a massive, beak-like spike manifests over her visor as she fights down Lusse for the last time.

Segwarides

"The gods would caution us. Is this a sign that we'll not go unchallenged?"

Also known as: Knight in the Golden Mask, Zona Seeker Segwarides, Ex9-I-3

Voiced by: Hideyuki Tanaka (Japanese), Richard Tatum (English)

A key officer of the Bahamutian Federation. He seems to conspire with Brandelis, and seemingly manipulate events behind the scenes to plunge Grymoire into chaos.

The Coats Are Off: Removes his Black Cloak for his boss battle, to reveal he is wrapped in chains and has several crystal shards lodged in his body.
The Chessmaster: He has the power to, with convincing enough steps and criteria, literally change destiny.
The Chooser of the One: Personally made up the Crimson Prophecy, to get the twins to open the Ultima Gate and rig the odds in the Exnine Knights's favor.
Co-Dragons: He and Pellinore jointly act as Brandelis's second-in-command and carry out his will, with neither of them superior to the other. Pellinore takes to the field more often out of the two of them, while Segwarides is happy to manipulate things from behind the scenes.
Evil Genius: Notes in his Who's Who bio; regardless of his more cooperative vessel, his powers are still weaker in Grymoire than they were before, but his mind is fully intact, and that's where his strength truly lies.
Gratuitous Iambic Pentameter: His Who's Who bio notes that his speech has "hints of iambic pentameter".
Holy Burns Evil: His only weakness is Light, and he resists Darkness.
Lean and Mean: Somehow combines this with Top-Heavy Guy, being very broad-shouldered but otherwise thin as a rail.
Malevolent Masked Man: Wears a distinctive, two-faced golden mask that fits his title.
Rhymes on a Dime: Not as strict as Shantotto, but still there.
Signature Move:
- Blade Dance summons several energy swords to randomly strike your characters.
- Magic Shield casts Protect and Shell on himself, to buff up his defenses.
- In his final fight, Disaster attempts to inflict Confusion, Blind, Doom, and Oblivion all at once.
Third Eye: The lower face on his mask has a blue gem that fits the aesthetic. It also hints to the full extent of his powers, as described above.

Brandelis

"Subtlety... I can never abide it when a more direct solution is at hand."

Also known as: Knight in the Black Armour, Bahamut Brandelis, Ex9-II-5

Voiced by: Hidekatsu Shibata (Japanese), Tony Amendola (English)

The king of the Bahamutian Federation, and the game's actual main antagonist.

And I Must Scream: He spent his century of imprisonment fully conscious, but doesn't seem any worse off for it.
Attack Its Weak Point: In his final form, charging Megaflare Cannon gives him a -200% resistance to every element in the game.
Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: His true form is so enormous that its head alone takes up most of the screen.
Authority in Name Only: Isn't actually the "king" of the Federation; that was another story Segwarides made up to make the Exnine Knights seem more imposing.
Badass Boast: He lets rip with one right before the twins' second encounter with him:
"I am Brandelis! The mighty King of Bahamut, and number II-5 of the Exnine Knights! I am the conqueror of all A-Worlds, and their destroyer!"
The Bad Guy Wins: At the end of the first timeline ("bad" ending), while he ends up sealed away by Lann's Heroic Sacrifice, he still ends up getting exactly what he wanted: mentally destroying Reynn and both Grymoire and Nine Wood Hills being irreversibly devastated by his Cogma hordes.
Big Bad: He leads the Bahamutian Federation in trying to conquer Grymoire and is the main antagonist of the game. He's also responsible for turning the twins' parents into Pellinore and Segwarides.
Cape Wings: His six wings wrap around him in an All-Encompassing Mantle during the first encounter with him.
Clipped-Wing Angel: His final fight tries his damnedest to avert this trope, but ultimately fails against a prepared party. Megaflare Cannon's countdown slashes his resistance to all elements down to -200%; as he only starts using it when he's down to half health, some well-timed -ja magic will break him in half. Unlike most examples, this doesn't make him an Anti-Climax Boss, as failing to finish him off within that window will automatically topple any stacks that aren't defending when the cannon goes off, and outside of the countdown, he still has every -ja class spell in the book, a way to inflict half of the game's status ailments at once, and acceleration as his HP drops.
Dying Declaration of Hate: At the end of the second timeline (true ending), he screams that he has yet to kill Hauyn as the twins pin him down and prepare to take him with them across the Ultima Gate.
The Juggernaut: Nothing that any of the heroic characters could do is enough to kill him, he's just too powerful for them to even come close. Though Lann and Reynn beat him in terms of gameplay, in story he continues going, and he fends off attacks from four Champions without difficulty. This is a major plot point in the second timelime, Reynn convinces Lann that they should focus on banishing the Cogna because they can't take Brandelis in a fight at their current level of power, and even after recovering the Seven and powering up Tama, they still can't.
Karmic Death: At the end of the second timeline (true ending), he is sealed back across the Ultima Gate for good at the hands of the very people who unwittingly summoned him.
Large and in Charge: He rules the Bahamutian Federation and is the size of a (Lilikin) house.
Magic Knight: He fights using a mix of powerful magic and an arsenal of summoned weapons.
Mundane Utility: For a given value of "mundane", anyways. He's powerful enough that his threshold gives him the power to change the rules of A-Worlds within their domain. After his first fight with the twins, he blows the roof off the Crystal Tower... and extends his threshold to stop the debris from hitting anybody^note.
My Rules Are Not Your Rules: Literally. His progress in Grymoire has allowed him to violate the cosmic laws of the A-World that even Enna Kros (read: Alexander herself) cannot defy.
One-Steve Limit: Averted. Brandelis and Tiababylo are both Bahamut-class espers, and Tiababylo even indicates they've known each other. Although Brandelis is only ever referred to as "Bahamut Brandelis" in the Who's Who, he is frequently referred to as "King of Bahamut".
One-Winged Angel: Has two stages of this as Exnine Bahamut. His first downplays the trope by giving him a clock full of weapons that float behind him, which he can invoke for any attack. His second, for the Final Boss fight, is a positively massive, fleshy thing built like a warship with a massive cannon in its mouth and Brandelis' body sticking out of the top of its head like a hood ornament.
Our Dragons Are Different: Exnine Bahamut is a giant severed dragon's head with exposed sinews, cybernetic components, and a Wave-Motion Gun housed in its mouth. Brandelis' upper body grows out of the dragon's forehead like a hood ornament. That said, he used to be a Bahamut (Mirage), and he and Tiababylo Bahamut apparently fought each other and some other Bahamuts for dominance in some other world/realm. Tiababylo ended up in Grymoire and became a member of the Pleiad, while Brandelis went off and fused with a human and a god to become an Exnine Knight.

Physical God: Brandelis can create his own thresholds, within which he can apply the rules of his own worlds, and therefore override those of the A-Worlds. It's how he managed to transform the Ultima Gate so that opening it would unleash a flood of Cogna.
Sure, Let's Go with That: A rather dark version. Segwarides has been leading the "Bahamutian Federation" while Brandelis has been imprisoned. When Lann asks if he is the King of the Bahamutian Federation, Brandelis' response is "So be it", and he is treated as the King of Bahamut henceforth.
The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: His final form gets faster as his HP decreases. It's not a status like Haste; he just gets innately faster the longer the fight wears on.
Tin Tyrant: He wears a menacing suit of armor in the style of early Final Fantasy villains like Golbez and Exdeath.
Winged Humanoid: Has six leathery wings, not that he uses them to fly.

Masked Woman

Voiced by: Maaya Uchida (Japanese), Eden Riegel (English)

Another Exnine Knight of the Bahamutian Federation. Mysterious and with her features hidden, she acts as a guide for the twins and is always accompanied by her Mirage, Carbuncle.

Ambiguous Gender: Her "Who's Who?" notes that she "Seems to be female?" The woman is just an illusion - the real Exnine Knight is Carbuncle, who is male and was originally a male human named Ywain.
The Dog Was the Mastermind: The real Exnine knight is the Carbuncle himself; his original Cogna was put into such a weak esper that he couldn't manifest a form outside of the esper like the other Exnine knights.
Ethereal White Dress: She's mysterious and wears all white hinting that she is just an illusion.
In the Hood: The Masked Woman wears a hood over the mask to help conceal her identity.
Master of Illusion: The Masked Woman specializes in illusory powers. She tricks the twins into thinking she is Hauyn and uses this illusion to get them to reopen the Ultima Gate and let Brandelis through. It turns out that the Masked Woman herself was just an illusion all along.
No Name Given: She does not have a name. However, since she is an Exnine Knight, she is made up of three parts: a human, an esper, and a Cogna. However, her human name was Ywain.
Red Herring: The player is led to believe that she's the twins' sister Hauyn or even secretly their mother. She's neither - just an illusion conjured by Carbuncle.
The Unfought: The only one of the four main Exnine Knights who is never fought in battle.

Other Prominent Mirages

In general

Most Mirages are generic enemies encountered in random encounters, but throughout the story there are several who either clash with or aid Lann and Reynn in their adventure. Some are the familiar series-wide summons, but several are original to World of Final Fantasy.

Gotta Catch 'Em All: Part of Lann and Reynn's objectives are to Imprism as many Mirages as they can, to replace all the ones they'd lost.
Promoted to Playable: While they are all Mons, several have unique personalities and roles in the story. They can also still be captured as Mirages to use in battle, sometimes as a Secret Character.

Princess Goblin

Voiced by: Yuu Kobayashi (Japanese), Janell Cox (English)

A goblin princess who makes her home on the Watchplains. Early in the story, she terrorizes the people of Cornelia and kidnaps Princess Sarah.

Abhorrent Admirer: Heavily implied to have a crush on the Warrior of Light. However, he is more into Princess Sarah. Several of her Intervention quests chronicle her attempts to woo him.
Boisterous Bruiser: She's always itching for a battle and is open to a rematch with the twins any time.
Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": The only name given for her is Princess Goblin.
Green-Eyed Monster: She is implied to kidnap Princess Sarah out of jealousy because she loves the Warrior of Light. However, she eventually calms down about it.
Temporary Blindness: Her unique ability Princess's Charm does Non-Elemental damage and inflicts blindness on her target. She is also required to be blinded before she can be Imprismed.
White Mage: She uses primarily white magic as a Mirage, but has some physical attacks too.

Mog

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/woff_kupirate.png

As the Kupirate

^{As the Master Moogle}

Voiced by: Sumire Morohoshi (Japanese), Bailey Gambertoglio (English)

A moogle Kupirate and member of Faris's crew. He is also friends with Master Tonberry and the Cactuar Conductor, and when fought in the Coliseum the three form the "Cranberry Knights." When used as a Mirage, he is called Master Moogle.

Dance Battler: As a Mirage, he uses Mog's dances, Forest Nocturne and Wind Rhapsody.
Dressed to Plunder: He's a pirate in this world, but is noted to be able to transfig out of his pirate clothes to take a regular Moogle appearance whenever he wants to. His Master Moogle appearance is notably not dressed as a pirate.
King Mook: He is the Master Moogle.
Light 'em Up: He is capable of casting Banish and Banishra.
Mr. Exposition: Early on, he gives the twins information about the prophecy, telling them they need to find two keys.
Mythology Gag: He's got the same name as the recurring Moogle from throughout the series.
The Nicknamer: He assigns Master Tonberry a new nickname, much to the latter's annoyance.
Stuff Blowing Up: As Master Moogle, he knows the Crystalline Flare spell.

Cactuar Conductor

Voiced by: Shigeru Chiba (Japanese), Andrew Morris (English)

A Cactuar who single-handedly runs the network of trains that spans across Grymoire. Has a history with Mog and Master Tonberry as a member of the Cranberry Knights. Loves to pick on Reynn. As a Mirage used by the player, he is called Master Cactuar.

The Gadfly: He knows just how to get under Reynn's skin, perhaps more than any other character - and he's one of the few who gets away with it, too, because like all Cactuars he's too fast to catch.
Fixed Damage Attack: He knows the signature Cactuar attack, 1000 Needles.
Fragile Speedster: As the Master Cactuar. He has excellent speed and evasion and knows the Haste and Hastega spells to boot. However, he doesn't have particularly high HP.
Offscreen Teleportation: He is known to be everywhere at once. Wherever you need to board the train, he's there.
Railroad Employee Roundhouse: Since he's the only character running the train, he can fit into almost all of the tropes involved.
Totally Radical: "Peachy keen" may as well be his catchphrase; he's fond enough of saying it that a section of his "Who's Who?" talks about how outdated the term is.

Master Tonberry

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/woff_tonberry.png

Voiced by: Joji Nakata (Japanese), Steven Barr (English)

A Tonberry who is the manager of the Coliseum. He has a history with the Cactuar Conductor and Mog as a former member of the Cranberry Knights.

Badass Adorable: Like all tonberries, he is dangerous, terrifying, but also adorable.
Baritone of Strength: He has a very deep voice - perhaps the deepest in the game! And like all tonberries, he's pretty dangerous. His "Who's Who?" has this to say about it:
Who's Who: Surprised that the tonberry has such a, uh, manly voice? He sounds like he could cause unicorns to faint; like he could put out fires just by whispering to them; like the low rumble of every sentence must cause hordes of Grymoirians to throw gil at him and beg for just a few more words.
The Comically Serious: He is always dead serious even in the face of antics from his fellow Cranberry Knights or the twins.
Counter-Attack: He knows Counterstance and will stab back at enemies who attack him while it is up.
Making a Splash: He knows the Watera spell.

Quacho Queen

Voiced by: Suzuko Mimori (Japanese), Ashly Burch (English)

Queen of the Quachos that live underwater in the Sunken Temple. She has an enchantment on her where if she sheds any tears, they become a fabulously rare Quacho ruby, desired by treasure hunters and glory seekers around the world. Needless to say, she's not happy about all the people who seek her out just to make her cry.

An Ice Person: She has ice magic like Blizzara.
Beneath the Mask: She's noted to be a bit arrogant and she aspires to greatness, but she's really just sad and afraid of people who come down into the Sunken Shrine just to make her cry because they want her tears.
Breath Weapon: She has the Sweet Breath ability which inflicts Forced Sleep on her foes.
Combat Medic: In addition to her offensive spells she also knows Cura.
Defeat Means Friendship: Once Lann and Reynn defeat her in battle, she ends up respecting them (and even falls for Lann).
Does Not Like Men: Since most treasure hunters and seekers of fortune who come down to find her tend to be men, she has cultivated a strong dislike of them over time and is even afraid of them. Can't really blame her, since all they do is cause her pain or discomfort out of attempts to make her cry to get her tears. She refers to Lann as a "man-thing" until she warms up to him... then he becomes "Lann-person."
Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Like Princess Goblin, she's just "Quacho Queen."
Flunky Boss: She fights alongside two of her Quacho attendants, Miney and Mo, who are unique Mirages themselves.
Hopeless Suitor: After warming up to Lann she eventually falls for him.
Making a Splash: She has Watera and Waterga at her disposal, like all Quachos.
The Man Behind the Monsters: Despite looking human, she is a Quacho, which are basically penguin creatures. She is the only one who looks even remotely human. It is noted in her "Who's Who" that only the "the most worthy" Quacho can transfig into royalty.
Talking in Your Sleep: Sometimes if you go talk to her in the Sunken Shrine she's fast asleep. Talking to her nets this nugget:
Quacho Queen: Mmmmnn... Lann... I forbid you to fiddle with my crown...
Tsundere: To Lann, once she falls for him. She's perfectly normal and friendly to Reynn.
Warrior Queen: Even while terrified of her assailants who come down to get her tears, she is definitely strong enough to send them packing.

The Pleiad's Seven

Seven powerful Mirages that served the Demon Dyad 100 years ago and wreaked havoc on Grymoire at their command. Lann and Reynn have to find and Imprism them all again to regain their memories and defeat Brandelis. The members are iconic summons from throughout the series: Ifrit, Shiva, Ramuh, Leviathan, Bahamut, Odin, and Diabolos.

Achilles' Heel: Like other games in the series, Odin's is lightning. He is weak to it and fears Ramuh because of it.
Blood Knight: Odin is always looking for an opponent to best in battle. He'll even face all of the other Pleiads - except for Ramuh, the only one he listens to (thanks to his Achilles' Heel).
Gender Flip: Like in Final Fantasy XV, Leviathan is a female character.
Jerk Jock: Ifrit, at first. He is noted to hit the gym sometimes in his "Who's Who?"
Mr. Exposition: The first three of the Pleiads - Ifrit, Ramuh, and Shiva - explain to Lann and Reynn what they are and how they served the Demon Dyad.
Only Sane Man: Ramuh is said to be a "no-nonsense grandpa who keeps his nitwit companions in line."
Race-Name Basis: Bahamut, Ifrit, Shiva, Ramuh, etc. are not their real names - that is the name of their Mirage type. Only Bahamut's real name (Tiabyblo) is revealed to differentiate him from the Bahamutian Federation.

Final Fantasy VI-XV Characters

Terra

Voiced by: Yukari Fukui (Japanese), Natalie Lander (English)

A character from Final Fantasy VI. A Magitek Knight and victim of Segwarides' experiments, so she is under the control of the Slave Crown when first encountered. Kidnapped along with the other Summoners, though her Who's Who notes that Terra is not one of them and instead her power is used as a catalyst to draw out theirs and power the Ultima Gate. Her esper guardian is Maduin.

Half-Human Hybrid: Like in her own game, she is half-human and half-esper (which makes her half-Mirage in this world). This gives her the ability to call upon and control espers in a fundamentally different way than other summoners, which attracts the attention of Segwarides.

Wave-Motion Gun: Magitek Laser has her blast one enemy with a big honking laser fired from her Magitek Armor.

Edgar

Voiced by: Shin-ichiro Miki (Japanese), Ray Chase (English)

The Mole: Just like in VI, he's spying on the Federation and is really on the heroes' side.
Big Fancy Castle: Figaro Castle, lampshaded in the Who's Who Manual.
Who's Who: Strap yourselves in, because we're breaking the fourth wall. Figaro Castle is, without a doubt, the most preposterous facility in all of Grymoire. To be honest, it never made any sense. A castle that can burrow into sand? How does that even work?! Well, we've ratcheted up the implausible factor to the max by strapping a facility named after FFVII's Midgar to the bottom of it, complete with DIRGE of CERBERUS's Mako Reactor 0. Add to the mix one boss straight out of FFIX—hi, Vivi! To top it all off, if you look at the submerged portion of the castle, it's painfully obvious from the construction that it's an evolved version of the drills on that desert prison in FFVIII... Honestly, even we think we might have gone too far this time.
Oh, Crap!: His response to seeing the twins and Tama giving him a Death Glare and growling at him at the end of Chapter 15 after what his antics put them through.

The League of S attacked the church where the Soul Crystal process was taking place and she later ended up joining them.

Quistis

Voiced by: Miyuki Sawashiro (Japanese), Kristina Pesic (English)

A character from Final Fantasy VIII. She leads the League of S, a union of the forces between Shinra and SeeD, from their mobile Balamb Garden base.

Big Good: As The Leader of The League of S, she fits as this among the other crossover characters, with only Enna Kros outranking her.
Good Old Fisticuffs: She apparently engaged in this in the past sometimes with Faris, and it led to the two of them gaining a healthy respect for each other.

Voiced by: Mayuko Aoki (Japanese), Hedy Burress (English)

A character from Final Fantasy X. She is the leader of the Summoners who first encounters the twins in the Pyreglow Forest after assuming them to be Heralds. After doing battle, they clear up the misunderstanding and she becomes a steadfast ally. Her esper companion is Valefor.

Cool Big Sis: To Rydia and Eiko. When she heard that the two ended up missing, she briefly (wrongly) accuses Lann and Reynn for bring responsible for their disappearances since they were the last ones who saw them. (Despite Rydia having insisted on tagging along with the twins when she came with them, and Tifa being there to see them off, no plausible way for anyone to have seen Eiko with the twins without also seeing them get shot up the bridge by Alexander and her getting abducted by Pellinore after that, and the fact that Pellinore herself tried to abduct Yuna earlier after the twins parted ways with her the first time.)
The Leader: Of Grymoire's few summoners.

Hopeless Boss Fight: The twins dare to combat her shortly after meeting her but she effortlessly defeats them.
