[[folder:Quintus]]

The other eldest member of the Council, alongside fellow founder Primus.

* BigGood: He's Kyrie's greatest benefactor, confident in her ability to weed out injustice, to the point that he [[spoiler:chooses her as his Marked candidate]].
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: As made clear when [[spoiler:Septimus accuses her of assaulting him after first trying to kill her]], he's willing to listen to Kyrie's side of an argument instead of immediately siding with a fellow Council member.

[[folder:Quarta]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fell_seal_arbiter_mark_quarta.jpg]]

[[folder:Septimus]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fell_seal_arbiter_mark_septimus.jpg]]
A less-than-ethical member of the council.

* ForTheEvulz: States this to be his motivation for [[spoiler:having Mercier cause chaos while the Pilgrimage was ongoing, with distracting Arbiters from bigger concerns just being a bonus.]]
* TheManBehindTheMan: He's responsible for [[spoiler:Mercier and Dolman's partnership]], as well as [[spoiler:Marking Alphonse]].
* ObviouslyEvil: Just look at the guy! It won't come as much of a surprise when the sneering jerk in blood red robes turns out to be [[spoiler:supporting bandit raids as well as Primus' ambitions]].
* ReforgedIntoAMinion: During the TrueFinalBoss fight, he [[spoiler:is one of the Corrupted Souls that is bound to The Maw.]]
* VampireMonarch: Although not confirmed, besides having the look of one, Septimus' "Immortal" abilities include several vampire-exclusive talents, and he brings vampire henchmen to his battles. He's got the "monarch" part down as well, being a member of the world's ruling council.

[[folder:Tertia]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fell_seal_arbiter_mark_tertia.jpg]]
The youngest of the Immortals, being merely a century old. She's also the patron of the Bzil Arbiter Bzaro, requesting him to investigate matters such as the murder of a Marked.

* AmbiguouslyEvil: On the one hand, she does not indulge in the same corruption that other members of the Council have succumbed to; on the other, she doesn't deny [[spoiler:voting to send Anadine's mother to her death]].

* ChangedMyMindKid: In the normal ending, after leaving everyone when [[spoiler:Kyrie became an Immortal]], she willingly comes back and assists [[spoiler:Anadine and Yates in their plan to reform Sigil and truly purify the Immortals.]]

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:In the Normal End, he gives his life to complete the ritual to reseal The Maw.]]

* PowerCopying: [[spoiler:His hidden unique class, Spymaster, has the ability to copy the last ability used in battle by either side, as long as it's not boss-exclusive.]]

* ChangedMyMindKid: [[spoiler:In the normal ending, after leaving everyone when Kyrie became an Immortal, she willingly comes back and assists Anadine and Yates in their plan to reform Sigil and truly purify the Immortals.]]

* TheChessmaster: [[spoiler:He faked his retirement and Marked Sigil's leader so that their agents could access the Pilgrimage temples and drain their power, which he could then absorb into himself.]]
* DrunkOnTheDarkSide: [[spoiler:Eventually fights against Kyrie after becoming corrupted by The Maw's power.]]
* LoopholeAbuse: [[spoiler:Immortals are not allowed to use direct offensive force on mortals, but he can still make [[WeaponizedTeleportation creative use of teleportation]].]]
* ReforgedIntoAMinion: [[spoiler:Is one of the Corrupted Souls that is bound to The Maw's true form.]]

* WeaponizedTeleportation: [[spoiler:Uses it when assisting Kyrie in a fight, warping enemies that cannot swim into nearby water. He also uses it when attempting to murder Kyrie and her companions later in the game; in addition to his classic "drowning via teleportation" tactic, Primus is happy to teleport one hero into another, damaging one and instantly killing the other.]]

* BonusBoss: [[spoiler:Following something of a trend for Immortals, she attempts to murder the party in an optional endgame battle after they stumble upon her attempts to gain eternal life via demonic rituals]].

* MightMakesRight: [[spoiler:Supports Primus's dark goals because of this.]]
* ReforgedIntoAMinion: [[spoiler:Is one of the Corrupted Souls that is bound to The Maw's true form.]]

* ReforgedIntoAMinion: [[spoiler:Is one of the Corrupted Souls that is bound to The Maw's true form, despite being one of the few Immortals opposing the evil Immortals earlier.]]
* WeHardlyKnewYe: [[spoiler:He's only seen in one scene very early on before Primus kills him to access Illuster's Relic. We don't even get to see what he looks like when his hood is off.]]

* ReforgedIntoAMinion: [[spoiler:Is one of the Corrupted Souls that is bound to The Maw's true form.]]

* BonusBoss: [[spoiler:Although he dies during the main story, a demonic-looking fragment of his soul is the final Hunt of the "Missions and Monsters" DLC.]]
* EnemyMine: [[spoiler:He briefly becomes a controllable party member in the fight against Primus at Illuster.]]
* EvilIsNotAToy: [[spoiler:He assisted Primus because his ultimate goal was to concentrate The Maw's power and take control of it, hoping to obliterate the Council with the beast. However, even with the "Fell Seal" that was used to summon it, he can't control The Maw, leading it to cause chaos and destruction.]]
* {{Irony}}: He was Marked by the organization he plans to depose. And if he hadn't been, he wouldn't be able to access the Pilgrimage temples vital to Sigil's plans.

* SecretIdentity: [[spoiler:When he lifts up his hood to fight, Kyrie recognizes him as Clyde, a legendary Arbiter that went missing twenty years ago and the partner of her mentor/Anadine's mother Sylvia.]]

* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:Uses a device to absorb dark power from the first stop of the Pilgrimage, transforming into a demon to fight against Kyrie.]]

* FinalBoss: [[spoiler:It is eventually released by Sigil, and needs to be resealed by the game's end.]]
** TrueFinalBoss: [[spoiler:The version of it fought in its home dimension, where it can be permanently slain, which requires a fair amount of steps to reach.]]
* MainliningTheMonster: [[spoiler:Its dark energy, channeled through Relics, is what gives the Marked and Immortals their powers.]]
* SealedEvilInACan: [[spoiler:It was too powerful to truly be defeated, and was instead sealed away using the Relics that are the focus of the Marked Pilgrimage.]]

* CameBackWrong: [[spoiler: After she died, Yates, who's care she was in, brought her back as a Cadaver so he could study her disease more.]]

* HeKnowsTooMuch: [[spoiler:It's later revealed that, rather than merely dying in battle, she was actually sent on a suicide mission by the Council (with Quintus being the sole member opposed) for learning too much about their corruption and voicing concerns.]]

* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Apparently one of the few non-corrupt Arbiter's left, judging by a bandit's reaction to her turning down a bribe. She's also reluctant to become a Marked, apparently not tempted by the power potentially being an Immortal could bring. She's also uncomfortable with [[spoiler:Primus]] using a technicality to [[spoiler:personally dispose of a group of bandits]], when usually [[spoiler:Immortals need Council approval to use their powers in such a way]]. Woman has a strong moral compass, that's for sure.

* ForScience: This mindset led him to do something Reiner refuses to forgive him for: [[spoiler:Reiner's wife was in his care, and Yates brought her back as a [[NotUsingTheZWord Cadaver]] after sickness claimed her so that he could study her disease more]]. He admits he would still do it again if the events played out the same way again because of this trope.

* ChangedMyMindKid: [[spoiler:In the normal ending, after leaving everyone when Kyrie became an Immortal, she willingly comes back and assists Anadine and Yates in their plan to truly purify the Immortals.]]

* ReforgedIntoAMinion: [[spoiler:Is one of the Corrupted Souls that is bound to The Maw's TrueFinalBoss form.]]

* ObviouslyEvil: Just look at the guy! [[spoiler:It won't come as much of a surprise when the sneering jerk in blood red robes turns out to be on the side of evil.]]
* ReforgedIntoAMinion: [[spoiler:Is one of the Corrupted Souls that is bound to The Maw's TrueFinalBoss form.]]

* TheCorruption: [[spoiler:Turns four members of The Council into its pawns. Even [[IncorruptiblePurePureness Kyrie]] in the Normal End is not above its influence.]]
* FinalBoss: [[spoiler:It is released and needs to be resealed ([[TrueFinalBoss or permanently slain in its own dimension]]) by the game's end.]]

* CameBackWrong: [[spoiler: After she died, [[{{Necromancer}} Yates]], who's care she was in, brought her back as a [[NotUsingTheZWord Cadaver]] so he could study her disease more.]]

An Arbiter, who goes beyond her duty by not just fighting injustice throughout the land, but also seeks to weed out corruption in her own organization.

* DarkIsNotEvil: The [[spoiler:Marked]] class gives her access to dark elemental attacks, some of which require HP. But despite using such dark abilities, she's still a stalwart individual.

* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Apparently one of the few non-corrupt Arbiter's left, judging by a bandit's reaction to her turning down a bribe. She's also reluctant to become a [[spoiler:Marked]], apparently not tempted by the power potentially being [[spoiler:an Immortal]] could bring. She's also uncomfortable with [[spoiler:Primus]] using a technicality to [[spoiler: personally dispose of a group of bandits]], when usually [[spoiler: Immortals need Council approval to use their powers in such a way]]. Woman has a strong moral compass, that's for sure.
* LightIsGood: The [[spoiler:Marked]] class also gives Kyrie access to light elemental attacks, though they're further down the skill tree than the dark-aligned attacks.

* PowerTattoo: [[spoiler:Gains one when she is Marked by the Council of Immortals.]]

* AmbiguouslyEvil: On the one hand, she does not indulge in the same corruption that other members of the Council have succumbed to; on the other, she doesn't deny [[spoiler:voting to execute Anadine's mother]].

* DiscOneFinalBoss: His importance in the story only lasts until the fight against him at the first Pilgrimage stop.

* HeKnowsTooMuch: [[spoiler:It's later revealed that, rather than dying in battle, she was actually executed by the Council (with Quintus being the sole member opposed) for learning too much about their corruption.]]

* DarkIsNotEvil: The [[spoiler:Marked]] class gives her access to dark elemental attacks, some of which require HP, but despite using such dark abilities she's still a stalwart individual.
* DeadpanSnarker: When it suits her. It's usually reserved for her enemies, but Reiner's on the receiving end of it, too, sometimes. Probably because he's her step-brother and thus pretty close so she knows he won't take it personally.

* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Apparently one of the few non-corrupt Arbiter's left, judging by a bandits reaction to her turning down a bribe. She's also reluctant to become a [[spoiler:Marked]], apparently not tempted by the power potentially being [[spoiler:an Immortal]] could bring. She's also uncomfortable with [[spoiler:Primus]] using a technicality to [[spoiler: personally dispose of a group of bandits]], when usually [[spoiler: Immortals need Council approval to use their powers in such a way]]. Woman has a strong moral compass, that's for sure.

Kyrie's adopted brother (his family took her in) and fellow Arbiter.

* UndyingLoyalty: Quintus notes that he's always been unusually loyal to Kyrie, and Kyrie herself wonders why he's still her Captain, despite the fact that he could easily become an Arbiter with his own unit if he so chose. He replies he wouldn't be able to live with himself if something happened to her while he wasn't around. She replies back that he “[doesn't] have to-“ and he interrupts that he DOES have to, and to please just leave it at that. Kyrie doesn't argue anymore and they get on with things. This might be because of his wife dying of [[spoiler:sickness while he was deployed elsewhere]] and Kyrie being a ReplacementGoldfish of sorts. He wasn't there for his wife but he ''can'' be there for Kyrie.

* ForScience: He subscribes to this. When asked to heal some bandits that the party just trounced (so they can walk better to the nearest prison), he says that he only heals the “deserving” or the “interestingly afflicted” of which the bandits were neither. This mindset also led him to do something Reiner refuses to forgive him for: [[spoiler: Reiner's wife was in his care and, while Reiner admits he probably did his best to help her, that's not the source of the bad blood he has with Yates. Yates brought her back as a [[NotUsingTheZWord Cadaver]] after the sickness claimed her so that he could study her disease more.]] He admits he would still do it again if the events played out the same way again because of this trope.

* HeelFaceTurn: She is originally after Kyrie's life, and willing to hold Anadine and Yates hostage in order to get it. But after she cuts ties with Sigil and they thereafter try to murder her, presumably for knowing too much, she's rescued by the heroes. She still has to pay for her crimes, however, so Kyrie gives her two options: either turn her into the local Chapterhouse (basically a prison), or she can work off her crimes by joining the group and fighting for them. She chooses the latter.
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: [[ZigZaggedTrope Zigzagged.]] As said above, she's in the party to work off her crimes, not to actually help with the pilgrimage or any Arbiter business. However, while she was a mercenary hired by Sigil, she did seem to legitimately resonate with Sigil's ideals, and was left a little disillusioned by their corruption.
** While she never quite warms up to the the ideals of the Arbiters in the same way, she ''does'' seem to grow a little fond of Kyrie's group. [[spoiler: [[ChangedMyMindKid In the normal ending, she even willing joins up and assists Anadine and Yates in their plan to truly purify the Immortals]]]]
* ProfessionalKiller: Her job. [[spoiler:As a matter of fact, she's the murderer Bzaro is looking for, which puts him in a predicament since by this point, she will have joined Kyrie's group, and he talks to her about it in private.]]

* VillainousCrush: Has one on Reiner. Becomes a regular crush after she joins the group. She tells Reiner that the only reason she tried to negotiate with the group for Kyrie’s Life rather than using force was because she “fancied (him)” to which he responds with VisibleSilence and looking down at the ground. Also, her first night at camp after joining, she asks Reiner if he and the commander are close, possibly suspecting they’re in a relationship. When he clarifies that she’s his sister, she goes on to ask him if he “knows any ways to warm up” which could be interpreted as a subtle invitation to...[[UnusualEuphemism warm up]] together. Reiner, either not noticing the possible invitation for sex or pretending not to notice, tells her about some warmer clothing options and goes to bed.

[[folder:Bonus Character #1 (Potential Spoilers)]]
!!!Bzaro

* CategoryTraitor: Considered one by the Sigil Bzil the group have to fight before entering a temple. They consider him to have “sold out” to The Immortals, being one of their Arbiters.
* GuestStarPartyMember: He is encountered soon after Kyrie is marked, defending Somier from wild beasts and then helping her take down Alphonse, but cannot be officially recruited until much later.

[[folder:Bonus Character #2 (MAJOR Spoilers)]]

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: As made clear when [[spoiler:Septimus accuses her of assaulting him after first trying to kill her]], he's willing to listen to Kyrie's side of an argument instead of immediately siding with his fellow Council member.

* BonusBoss: [[spoiler:Following something of a trend for Immortals, attempts to murder the party in an optional endgame battle after they stumble upon her attempts to gain eternal life via demonic rituals]].

* TheCorruption: [[spoiler:Turns four members of The Council into its pawns. Even Kyrie in the Normal End is not above its influence.]]

* ProfessionalKiller: Her job.

* PowerTattoo: He is Marked shortly after being apprehended, allowing him to bypass punishment for his crimes.

* GoodIsNotDumb: Kyrie is a stalwart defender of the helpless and upholder of the Immortal's laws. Kyrie is also extremely ''knowledgeable'' about the Immortal's laws, knows when there's a loophole in a situation to be exploited, and good enough at reading people to predict their actions.

* NotInThisForYourRevolution: As said above, she's in the party to work off her crimes, not to actually help with the pilgrimage or any Arbiter business.

* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: He utilizes reanimated corpses for both research and protection, giving him a somewhat vile reputation.

* AnIcePerson: One of his unique class's skills is Hailstorm, referencing [[spoiler:the magic he eventually gains]] from his own game.
* OptionalPartyMember: Unlocking him requires collecting four shards from across the world, and then fighting an optional battle.

* FinalBoss: [[spoiler:Is released and needs to be resealed (or permanently slain) by the game's end.]]

* NiceGirl: She's an over-all nice and pleasant person.

* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: He utilizes reanimated corpses for both research and protection, giving him a somewhat vile reputation..

* TheChick: Her techniques are not as up-close and brutal as the other ladies in the party.

* FinalBoss

* HeelFaceTurn: She is originally after Kyrie's life, and willing to hold Anadine and Yates hostage in order to get it, but after she cuts ties with Sigil and they thereafter try to murder her, presumably for knowing too much, she's rescued by the heroes. She still has to pay for her crimes, however, so Kyrie gives her two options: either turn her into the local Chapterhouse (basically a prison), or she can work off her crimes by joining the group and fighting for them. She chooses the latter.

* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: She has an accent of some sort, but since the dialogue is entirely in text it's hard to tell what it is. It could be either an [[AwesomeAussie Australian]] or a cockney British Accent or something else entirely.

* WeaponizedTeleportation: [[spoiler:Uses it when assisting Kyrie in a fight, warping enemies that cannot swim into nearby water. Also uses it when attempting to murder Kyrie and her companions later in the game; in addition to his classic "drowning via teleportation" tactic, Primus is happy to teleport one hero into another, damaging one and instantly killing the other.]]

* TheDragon: To Raife

* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:Uses a relic to absorb dark power from the first stop of the Pilgrimage, transforming into a demon to fight against Kyrie.]]

* MainliningTheMonster: [[spoiler:Its dark energy, channeled through Relics, is what give the Marked and Immortals their powers.]]

* [[spoiler:BonusBoss: Following something of a trend for Immortals, attempts to murder the party in an optional endgame battle after they stumble upon her attempts to gain eternal life via demonic rituals]].

She chooses the latter.

* HeelFaceTurn: She is originally after Kyrie's life, and willing to hold Anadine and Yates hostage in order to get it, but later circumstances bring them together.

* BadPowersGoodPeople: Her [[spoiler:Demon Knight]] abilities often involve sacrificing HP in exchange for powerful abilities and are [[spoiler: slowly permanently transforming her into a mindless, berserk creature.]] Due to the nature of the game, this can be averted if you choose to class her as something else, though the [[spoiler:curse]] will still remain.
