History Characters / GranblueFantasyPrimalBeasts

* WellIntentionedExtremist: She worked together with the Ennead primals to take out and kill the Singularity to ensure the balance of the sky realm. [[spoiler:Though the Book of Primals reveal that she worked with them to keep Phoenix from being killed under the Captain's hands as she wished for it.]]

* DubNameChange: A variant. The spellbooks you can buy by trading moons are named "Book of Raziel" in Japanese, and are implied to be named after Archangel Raziel herself, but they are simply called as "Spellbooks" in the English localization.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: She worked together with the Ennead primals to take out and kill the Singularity to ensure the balance of the sky realm.

* GodInHumanForm: Their debut in "The Heart of the Sun" has the group take on human guises, with Bennu being a much more literal example of this trope due to the raid boss version of Bennu having the appearance of a bird beast-like man.

* UnderestimatingBadassery: Or rather not understanding how the Singularity works if their attempt to assasinate the Captain is any indication. The Singularity is the focus of the timelines, and therefore circumstances will ''always'' skew in their favor, therefore their assassination attempt was doomed from the start.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: They wish to guard the sky realm, but they are also of the belief that killing the Singularity, the Captain, is necessary to ensure that the sky realm remains guarded.

!Ennead Primals

Originally debutting as V2 Raid bosses, they became major players of the narrative in the 10th year anniversary event, "The Heart of the Sun".

* DubNameChange: A variant. The spellbooks you can buy by trading moons are named "Book of Raziel" in Japanese, but are simply called as "Spellbooks" in the English localization.

* UnderestimatingBadassery: Or rather not understanding how the Singularity works if their attempt to assasinate the Captain is any indication. The Singularity is the focus of the timelines, and therefore circumstances will ''always'' skew in their favor, therefore their assassination attempt was doomed from the start.

* LateArrivalSpoiler: The Closed Beta Test build of ''VideoGame/GranblueFantasyVersus'' reveals that Ares is [[spoiler:bound to Katalina, assisting in her Super Skybound Art. This was way before Ares is officially introduced in the mobile game's main story.]]

* MustHaveCaffeine: He’s very fond of coffee and according to Sandalphon’s Fate Episode, he invented the stuff and spread his discovery across the skies. He also turned Sandalphon on to liking it.

* MysteriousWatcher: During the war between Astrals and Skydwellers, he watched over everything from Canaan.

* NewWorkRecycledGraphics: [[spoiler:Or new unit, recycled graphics. While his skills and skill animations avoid this trope, Lucifer has the same base sprite as Grand Lucio, with the main differences between them being how they pose, their expressions, and their wings. [[note]]Lucio has small wings that transform into bigger ones, while Lucifer always has his Supreme Primarch wings activated.[[/note]] This is justified, as the two characters have the same design minus the wings, which would make creating another sprite for Lucifer an unnecessary expense. Their attack animations are also the same, though we aren't given any indication that the two fight differently. It's shown in ''Rage of Bahamut'' that Arch Seraph Lucifer also uses his katanas telepathically]].
** [[spoiler: His "Paradise Lost" animation zig-zags this. Before him, Grand Lucio and Sandalphon mostly had the same animation, with the only differences being how they pose and how the rays of light activate. Lucifer's "Paradise Lost" looks fancy compared to both of theirs; he's summoned into various beams of light, opens his wings to reveal the golden heavens as feathers rain down (itself appearing to be reference to his summon animation where the same thing happens) which fades into black as a light shines in his chest, and then he casts Paradise Lost which rains down light from the heavens. The only things it has in common with Lucio is the beam activation and sprite poses]].

* NoSell: [[spoiler: In "Created by the Stars, Loved by the Skies" he's able to dodge and tank a number of Bahamut's attacks]].
* NostalgiaHeaven: [[spoiler: The player's glimpse of the afterlife he's in shows that it's the research lab gardens, a place that was special to both he and Sandalphon. He theorizes that it may be created from his memories]].

** [[spoiler:As of "Created by the Stars, Loved by the Skies", it was revealed that he and the duplicate of Cosmos were this to each other after the War - though they began their relationship as business partners who would monitor evolution and fate together for hundreds of years, a friendship would end up blooming between them by the end of their partnership]].
* OnlyMostlyDead: [[spoiler:Lucifer's Summon Transcedence Episodes reveal that though Lucifer was already thoroughly dead - with no physical body or spirit left behind - by the end of the "What Makes the Sky Blue" trilogy, the summonable version is revealed to be an echo of the ''real'' Lucifer's fragments based on his memories that persist within Lyria's power, as his strong desire to still protect the skies resonates with Lyria, the fragment using Lyria as a conduit that made it grow powerful in time as the crew continues their journey.]]

* PerpetualMolt: His wings appear to be constantly molting feathers of light that disappear before they touch the ground, made most evident in the “Ain Soph Aur” MV and his Summon animation. The only exception shown is [[spoiler:after the player defeats Proto Bahamut in "Wyvern’s Reverie" and they wake up to find one of his feathers in hand. Lyria describes it as feeling warm like the Sun and Vyrn says it’s like a jewel.]]

** Despite being Lucilius’ creation, he’s nothing like him in terms of personality, being benevolent and self-sacrificing as opposed to Lucilius’ [[LackOfEmpathy cold]] and calculating demeanor.
** He could be this to Belial as well. "000" confirms that Lucifer and Belial were Lucilius' first creations and were created at the same time. Whereas Lucifer is a force of order and fights to uphold peace in the skies, Belial thrives on chaos. Their personalities are the exact opposite of one another as well: Lucifer is serious and takes everything at face value, kind, honorable, and [[IncorruptiblePurePureness remains pure even in death]], whereas Belial is vulgar, [[DoubleEntendre speaks in double entendres]], and isn't afraid to back stab anyone other than Lucilius.

* PoorCommunicationKills: A lot of the issues between himself and Sandalphon stem from their inability to communicate their feelings properly, likely due to neither of them fully understanding each other's positions. [[spoiler: Had either of them realized these things sooner, the outcome would likely have been different.]]

* ThePromise: [[spoiler: He entrusts his mission to take care of Lucilius' legacy to Sandalphon before he dies, and Sandalphon treats it as a promise that he makes his mission to fulfill]].
** [[spoiler: He promises Cosmos that he will stop her when the time to judge the singularity and their purpose in this world comes. Unfortunately, he is unable to keep this promise due to having been assassinated before the promised time came, leaving Cosmos to judge the protagonist in his stead.]]
* PygmalionPlot: He created Sandalphon under Lucilius' orders and is his ImpliedLoveInterest.
* RainbowMotif: All except one of the skills on his playable unit has a rainbow motif to it.

* RealityWarper: He's able to create different realities to warp himself and others to, as demonstrated in Wyvern's Reverie.
* Really700YearsOld: Appears to be a young adult, but he is in fact one of the oldest Primal beasts in the game making him at least several thousand years old.
* RecurringElement: Initially a summon, he carries on the Cygames tradition of having ''Rage of Bahamut'' Lucifer appear in their games in some way, shape or form alongside Bahamut.
* TheReveal: [[spoiler: "Created by the Stars, Loved by the Skies" reveals that he is part of the reason why Primal's were able to become integrated into the Sky Realm. Working with Cosmos, the original primal of arbitration, he offered her guidance on how to instruct the Primal's in their conflict with the sky dwellers, while she would go to them and act as a mediator between to two races]].

* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler: Assassinated by Beelzebub with his immortal killing weapons to show the threat facing the Skydoms and kicking off Sandalphon’s character path to redemption.]]
* SatanIsGood: [[spoiler: Unlike his ''Rage of Bahamut'' and biblical counterpart, he's an unambiguously and uncompromisingly good entity. To make up for this, [[DecompositeCharacter Lucilius, Belial, and Avatar were created to make up for the biblical figures "evil" sides]]]].
* ScriptedBattle: [[spoiler: "Created by the Stars, Loved by the Skies" gives him one between Bahamut to demonstrate his playable units abilities and charge attack]].
* SeriesMascot: Along with Bahamut, he retains the role of being this to Cygames as a whole, though he's not as much as Lyria, Vyrn and the two protagonists. He was tied to various anniversary events, and his summon would usually receive updates to coincide with it.
* ShipTease: With Sandalphon to the point where they seem like StarCrossedLovers. [[spoiler:He becomes TheLostLenore for Sandalphon after his death, with Sandalphon determined to fulfill the promise he made to him. They declare their feelings for one another near the end of "What Makes The Sky Blue: 000" and Lucifer says he will wait for him in the afterlife.]]

* SignatureMove: His BeamSpam attack "Paradise Lost", which was first introduced with his Gacha summon. Every "Lucifer"-face introduced after the summon has it, as does [[spoiler: Sandalphon]] after he inherits Lucifer's powers.
* SingleTargetSexuality: He was confirmed by WordOfGod to have romantic feelings of love for Sandalphon and as far as the player is shown, he doesn’t appear to have extended those feelings to anyone else.
* SoProudOfYou: In the epilogue battle of "What Makes The Sky Blue", he summons the crew members into another dimension to test their strength in order to determine whether Skyfarers are able to survive without the need of a Supreme Primarch. When the crew defeats Proto-Bahamut, he’s shown to be very satisfied with the results. [[spoiler: It’s revealed in "Paradise Lost" that this was because he planned to retire his duties as the Supreme Primarch due to believing that the Skyfarers grew beyond their need for him to protect them.]]
* StepfordSmiler: Implied to be, as he had to take on the role and pressures of being the all-knowing supreme primarch with everyone expecting him to know the answer to any of their worries, all while the role of being the Supreme Primarch was a [[DudeWheresMyRespect thankless job.]] [[spoiler:What Makes The Sky Blue: 000 shows that, by the end of the origin beast rebellion and the fall of the fallen angels, Lucifer had been crumbling under the stress and emotional burden of it all to the point where even Gabriel noticed that he looked ill--of course, he brushed off her concerns and said that he was fine. Sandalphon feels empathy for his struggles [[GhostMemory after finding out what he must have went through all of those years.]]]]
* StraightGay: Confirmed to have romantic feelings for Sandalphon, a male Primal, but doesn't conform to any stereotypes typically associated with gay men.
* StrengthEqualsWorthiness: His entire reason for summoning the protagonist in the "Wyvern's Reverie" quest was to test if humanity had evolved enough to survive on it's own without the need for his continued protection. Once the protagonist proved themself worthy by defeating the wyvern, he proceeded with his plan to retire the primarchs and return the reigns of evolution to humanity.

* TeamDad: Implied in "What Makes The Sky Blue", which has him appear before the protagonist in "Wyverns Reverie" to apologize on behalf of the Primarchs and Sandalphon for the trouble they caused the crew.

** [[spoiler:He becomes this to Sandalphon after his death, though they reconcile in the afterlife after Sandalphon appears there. Even though it’s assured that they’ll be reunited someday, Sandalphon is still grieving him.]]
** [[spoiler:Lucilius also appears to grieve him in his own way soon after learning about his death. After initially being dimissive of it, he bitterly prods Sandalphon over the course of their battle in "000", as if blaming him for Lucifer's death.]]
* TheUnfought: The player never engages in direct combat with him as he summons a Wyvern to fight them in "Wyvern's Reverie" instead.
* TheOmnipotent: He is described as this, being near Bahamut levels of powerful and so powerful it places him above living things. [[spoiler: "Created by the Stars, Loved by the Skies" has him battle one-on-one with Bahamut as a playable unit and he is shown to be ''very'' strong, doing significant damage to Bahamut to the point of halving his health before the battle ended. And this is with Bahamut healing significantly every turn.]]
* TopGod: His power with just six wings is near equal to Bahamut's. As a testament to this, he was the ''only'' other Primal in the Providence series summons alongside Bahamut for years until Belial and later Beelzebub's summons were implemented.
* TragicHero: [[spoiler: His self-sacrificing nature is what ends up being his undoing, as he dies in order to protect Sandalphon rather than fighting back after being ambushed.]]
* TragicKeepsake: [[spoiler: He left Lyria a feather from his wing which she still has long after his death. His six wings in general are this to Sandalphon, and Sandalphon will occasionally be shown with a similar white feather that represents him]].
* TranquilFury: [[spoiler:His reaction when confronting his enemies. Interestingly [[AvertedTrope averted]] during his confrontation with Lucilius, as he makes it very clear in his voice that he’s angry, even shouting the man's name before cutting him down.]]
* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: Exterminates the Astrals including his creator [[spoiler: Lucilius]] in a confrontation upon his realization that he was manipulated into helping him sow the seeds of the rebellion. He then took over, leaving the Astral labs abandoned and operating from Canaan.
* TwinsAreSpecial: [[spoiler: In the Fallen Paradise Fate Episode, Belial and Lucifer fight a horde of Otherworldly creatures together and wordlessly remain in sync with each other through eye contact and flaps of their wings]].
* TheUnintelligible: In both Lyria’s and Azazel’s skill fate episodes, Lucifer appears to be this, disguised in a silhouette as he speaks to them. The audience is incapable of understanding what he is saying, due to his voice sounding like heavily distorted Japanese and simply being translated into text as “...”, however both Azazel and Lyria seem to understand him.

* VillainRespect: Despite their hatred for him, Belial and Beezebub acknowledge how powerful he is and are quick to remind [[spoiler: Sandalphon]] that he'll never be able to achieve what Lucifer's greatness. Lucilius has also said similar things, though he differs from the aforementioned as he actually likes Lucifer.

* WalkingSpoiler: As can be seen by the among of spoilers lining his page, it's difficult to talk about Lucifer without getting into the entire overarching story that has begun to extend beyond the original "What Makes The Sky Blue" trilogy.

* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Although downplayed when compared to [[spoiler: Lucio]], due to Lucifer having fewer interactions with characters outside of the Primarch group, Lucifer is very popular among the male "What Makes The Sky Blue" characters. Of course, much has been said already about Sandalphon, who is said to love and/or yearn for Lucifer; there is also Azazel, who rebelled for Lucifer's sake; there is Lucilius, who was Lucifer's creator and was quite fixated on him, favoring him over [[IgnoredEnamoredUnderling Belial]]; and then there is even Beelzebub, who - despite hating and fearing Lucifer - was still entranced by his beauty.
* EveryoneCanSeeIt: According to "What Makes the Sky Blue", the other primarchs were aware of Lucifer's favoritism toward Sandalphon and were jealous over it. Lucilius and Belial also picked up on this addressed it differently; when discussing what would become of Sandalphon once his usefulness ran out, Lucilius offered to let Lucifer keep him as a pet instead of simply disposing of him; Belial on the other hand teased Lucifer over his obliviousness and used his attachment to Sandalphon to break him down during the rebellion.

* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: [[spoiler: "000" reveals that Lucifer was created with the powers of "Lucio"/Helel ben Sahar so that Lucilius could complete himself. This is reflected in his playable unit as demonstrated in "Created by the Stars, Loved by the Skies"; he has abilities akin to Lucio's[[note]]Though some are different, likely to suit the need of differentiating them. Their skill animations are different too[[/note]] and he also incorperates effects shown in Sahar's battle, such as his "Cleansing Light" animation looking like a more devastating version of Sahar's "Sprout". His skills also have a RainbowMotif, something seen in Sahar''s "Sprout" animation and his "Morning Star" attack versus Lucio's more uniformly yellow kit. This suggests that Lucilius combined the powers of Lucio and Sahar's into a single being, versus Lucio only using his alternate powers when he changes into Sahar form]].
* GodInHumanForm: One of the most powerful primals beasts who is described as an omnipotent entity. This is highlighted by his being part of the Providence series summons along with Bahamut and later Belial, Providence being defined as "The foreseeing care and guidance of God or nature over the creatures of the earth".
* GoodIsNotSoft: He’s shown to resort to violence when necessary. [[spoiler:He cut down Lucilius without hesitation after he revealed his plans to him and delt out his punishment to Beelzebub. Judging by his actions afterward, he doesn’t enjoy having to resort to violence, making him come off as a sort of MartialPacifist.]]
* GreenThumb: The Supreme Primarch is able to bring plants back to life by simply having it come into contact with his power. [[spoiler: Sandalphon]] demonstrates this ability in his skill fate episode by unintentionally revitalizing a coffee plant that had been dead for hundreds of years.
* GrewBeyondTheirProgramming: Lucifer was a primal created with the purpose of governing over evolution as well as to act as the ultimate weapon that could be used at the disposal of the Astrals. He eventually outgrew his programming as he felt that his duty to the sky realm was greater than his loyalty to Astrals [[spoiler: leading to him killing the Astrals and trapping any rebellious primals in Pandemonium]].

* HellishPupils: Zooming in on his default sprite shows that his pupils are white and diamond-shaped. His pupils being white has begun to be carried over to his 4koma appearances, and he's the only "Lucifer"-face drawn with these, [[spoiler: until Yuni was created]]. Sandalphon also has eyes like this, hinting at his relation to Lucifer.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Belial confirms that the reason Lucifer couldn't fight back against Beelzebub was due to his proximity to the seraphim cradle Sandalphon was sleeping in. In other words, he was either worried that using his powers would destroy the cradle or a skirmish would wind up with Sandalphon as collateral...so Lucifer let himself get killed so Sandalphon could live.]]
* HeroWithBadPublicity: At least among the fallen angels, [[HunterOfHisOwnKind as they believe that he slayed and hunted their brethren during the rebellion under the orders of the Astrals]]. The only fallen angel known to be on his side is Azazel, who became aware of Belial's scheme before he was sealed away.
* HiddenDepths: Thought to be TheAce by those around him, particularly the Primarchs and Sandalphon, who they’d always look to for the solution when things went wrong. It’s revealed in a flashback that he doesn’t believe himself to be perfect. As well, being put on such a high pedestal led to him being very lonely, which is why he took such comfort in his interactions with Sandalphon prior to the rebellion.

* HomeOfTheGods: The holy shrine Canaan is his base of operations, located in the very center of the sky realm once one has ventured through the Celestial Strait. It is nigh unreachable by the sky dwellers and even the tetra-element primarchs themselves due to the low concentration of the elements there.

* IconicItem: The red scarf he wears, another carry over from his ''VideoGame/RageOfBahamut appearance'', though lacking the orange glow the original had. It's been used in various instances to signify his presence, along with his white feathers.
* ImpliedLoveInterest: He's one to Sandalphon and vice versa. Before WordOfGod came out and confirmed that they have romantic feelings for each other (along with feelings of friendship and family), it was more ambiguous on his side than it was Sandalphon's, as most of their interactions took place from Sandalphon's perspective and the players were rarely ever shown Lucifer's inner thoughts. That said, he did have a few lines of dialogue that implied that he was romantically interested in Sandalphon before it started to become more obvious, [[spoiler: such as his dying wish being the desire to have a cup of coffee with Sandalphon again, his attempting to make Sandalphon stay with him in the afterlife longer, as well as his subtle CrazyJealousGuy tendencies. Even after it was confirmed that their feelings for each other are romantic they now hold the status of being StarCrossedLovers [[BuryYourGays due to his current predicament]]]].

* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Due to his status as a supremely powerful being, he was looked up to by everyone and treated as the pinnacle of perfection, making him unable to form a genuine connection with anyone except Sandalphon, who he felt he could stand on equal footing with due to the latter not having a role. He also attempted to force a friendship with Belial, who would passive-aggressively reject his attempts, and Lucilius, who he began to refer to as "friend" without his prompting. This is also likely the reason he was quick to accept Cosmos as a business partner, as he spent several centuries in Canaan watching over the Sky Realm alone.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: As he was seemingly oblivious of the fact that Sandalphon went on a rampage to get his attention, his response to Sandalphon questioning why he didn't come to stop him in "What Makes the Sky Blue" is quite objective. Sandalphon, who at that point already felt that Lucifer viewed him as lesser, gives the expected response.

* InstantRunes: His summon animation for Paradise Lost has him summon runes around himself. His playable unit also summons 3 runes above himself when performing his charge attack, similarly to [[spoiler: Lucio]] and Sandalphon when they use Paradise Lost.
* IntriguedByHumanity: Part of the reason why he told the primarchs to learn the ways of the Skyfarers. It’s revealed he wants to know the strengths of humanity before [[spoiler:he decides to return the reigns of evolution to the world]].
* IWillWaitForYou: [[spoiler:Says he will wait for Sandalphon in the afterlife in "What Makes The Sky Blue: 000".]]
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Wields 3 Katanas like his ''VideoGame/RageOfBahamut'' counterpart.
* TheLeader: As his title would imply, he's the commander of all of the angels, being the strongest of them all. [[spoiler: He passes on this role to Sandalphon as of "What Makes The Sky Blue: Paradise Lost"]].
* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: When separating summons by series was implemented, he was originally the ''only'' primarch to not be categorized as a "Primarch Series" (now renamed to "Archangel Series") summon, despite all of his fellow primarchs ending up in that category. He was instead categorized with Bahamut in the "Providence Series", which lore-wise is technically accurate, as he is stated to be only second to Bahamut in terms of power. Sometime later, Belial was also added to the "Providence Series" category as summons, finally averting this trope.

* MartialPacifist: He was created to be the ultimate weapon, though his summon description states that he was not suited for this role. He still takes his job as the Sky Realms protector seriously and is willing to do whatever is in his power to protect it.
* MeaningfulName: His name translates to "bearer of light" and he’s one of the most powerful Light element wielding Primals, if not ''the'' most powerful [[spoiler: until Sandalphon takes up his role]].
* MessianicArchetype: [[{{Irony}} Despite being named Lucifer]], he's actually closer to this trope, though it's possible the parallel was unintentional due to WordOfGod's claim that he was meant to embody an aspect of Lucifer the fallen angels story, [[DecompositeCharacter with Lucilius, Belial and Avatar filling in for the other parts he doesn't cover]]. He is the benevolent protector of the Sky Realm who was betrayed by the people he considered close companions and confidants, [[spoiler: and then later died so that Sandalphon could be redeemed of his sins in the eyes of everyone]]. [[AllLovingHero He also holds no grudges against the people that betrayed him]]. All he's missing is a ressurrection to be solidified as the ''Granblue Fantasy'' equivalent of Jesus Christ.

* MysteriousProtector: He is the divine protector of the sky realm and had been for thousands of years. That said, if "Created by the Stars, Loved by the Skies" is any indication, many primals appear to be unaware of him or his role, as he primarily acted as an AllPowerfulBystander who influenced the direction of the sky realms evolution from a distance unless it was necessary for him to step in.
* MysteriousWatcher: During the war between Astrals and sky dwellers he watched over everything from Canaan.
* MysticalWhiteHair: Has white hair and is one of the most powerful Primal Beasts in existence.
* MythologyGag: Azazel retains his loyalty to Lucifer despite Lucifer never having been a ruthless leader of a demon army in this universe.
* NewWorkRecycledGraphics: [[spoiler: Or new unit, recycled graphics. While his skills and skill animations avoid this trope, He has the same base sprite as Grand Lucio, with the main difference between them being how they pose, their expressions and their wings [[note]]Lucio has small wings that transform into bigger ones, Lucifer always has his Supreme Primarch wings activated[[/note]]. This is justified, as the two characters have the same design minus the wings, which would make creating another sprite for Lucifer an unnecessary expense. Their attack animations are also the same, however, we aren't given any indication that the two fight differently, and it's shown in ''Rage of Bahamut'' that Arch Seraph Lucifer also uses his Katana's telepathically]].
** [[spoiler: His "Paradise Lost" animation zig-zags this. Before him, Grand Lucio and Sandalphon had mostly the same animation with the only differences being how they pose and how the rays of light activate. Lucifer's "Paradise Lost" looks fancy compared to both of theirs; he's summoned into various beams of light, opens his wings to reveal the golden heavens as feathers rain down (itself appearing to be reference to his summon animation where the same thing happens) which fades into black as a light shines in his chest, and then he casts Paradise Lost which rains down light from the heavens. The only things it has in common with Lucio is the beam activation and sprite poses]].
* NiceMeanAndInBetween: He's the in-between to [[spoiler: Lucio's nice]] and Lucilius' mean. While he's a benevolent primal with the best intentions for the Sky Realm in mind, he does have moments of aloofness and can come off as kind of a jerk despite otherwise being quite friendly, such as when he has a tone with [[DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife Sandalphon]] for asking him what his purpose is in "What Makes the Sky Blue". He's also shown to be quite snippy with Belial in the flashbacks, [[TheGadfly though considering it's Belial]], it's at least understandable in that case.

* NostalgiaHeaven: [[spoiler: Our glimpse of the afterlife he's in shows the research lab gardens, a place that was special to him and Sandalphon. He theorizes that it may be created from his memories]].

* ObliviousToHatred: [[spoiler: He seemed oblivious of the fact that Belial secretly hated him and was plotting against him, all while he was trying to push for a friendship between them. He’s also very kind to Beelzebub upon meeting him in spite of Beelzebub’s very obvious disdain toward him [[FantasticRacism due to his being a primal beast]]. He completely brushes off Beelzebub’s threats with a warm smile.]]
* ObliviousToLove: To go along with PoorCommunicationKills. Had he been aware of [[spoiler: Sandalphon's]] feelings for him and made it clear that he reciprocated them sooner, things may have ended differently. That said, according to several flashbacks, [[WhatIsThisFeeling he was apparently unaware of his own feelings]] and didn't believe that primarchs were capable of loving or being loved.
* OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler:He is decapitated by Beelzebub so that they can harvest his body and use it to resurrect Lucillius. [[{{Irony}} Ironically,]] he was killed in the same way he killed Lucillius.]]
* OnlyFriend: For a while, he was this to Sandalphon, who in turn was this to him as he couldn't form any genuine friendships with any of his other subordinates due to them looking up to him. In one of the flashback sequences, he attempted to get Belial to drop the formalities between them due to them being made around the same time and thusly being on the same standing, [[spoiler: though this attempt at a friendship would end poorly for him.]]
** [[spoiler:As of "Created by the Stars, Loved by the Skies", it was revealed that he and the duplicate of Cosmos were this to each other after the war, as they began their relationship as business partners monitoring evolution and fate together for hundreds of years while a friendship bloomed between them by the end of their partnership]].
* OnlyMostlyDead: [[spoiler:Lucifer's summon Transcedence Episodes reveal that though Lucifer was already thoroughly dead, with no physical body or spirit left behind by the end of the "What Makes the Sky Blue" trilogy, the summonable version is revealed to be an echo of the ''real'' Lucifer's fragments based on his memories that persist within Lyria's power, as his strong desire to still protect the skies resonate with Lyria, the fragment using Lyria as a conduit that made it grow powerful in time as the crew continues their journey.]]
* PassingTheTorch: [[spoiler:Makes Sandalphon the next surpreme primarch after his death.]]
* PerpetualMolt: His wings appear to be constantly molting feathers of light that disappear before they touch the ground, made most evident in the “Ain Soph Aur” MV and his summon animation. The only shown exception is [[spoiler:after the player defeats Proto Bahamut in Wyvern’s Reverie and they wake up to find one of his feathers in hand. Lyria describes it as feeling warm like the sun and Vyrn says it’s like a jewel.]]
* PersonalizedAfterlife: [[spoiler: As the research lab garden is treated as a special place for him, his afterlife takes the form of it from his memories]].

** Despite being Lucilius’ creation, he’s nothing like him in terms of personality, being benevolent and self sacrificing as opposed to Lucilius’ [[LackOfEmpathy cold]] and calculating demeanor.
** He could be this to Belial as well. 000 confirms that Lucifer and Belial were Lucilius' first creations and were created at the same time. Whereas Lucifer is a force of order and fights to uphold peace in the skies, Belial thrives on chaos. Their personalities are the exact opposite of one another as well; Lucifer is serious and takes everything at face value, kind, honorable, and [[IncorruptiblePurePureness remains pure even in death]] whereas Belial is vulgar, [[DoubleEntendre speaks in double entendres]], and isn't afraid to back stab anyone other than Lucilius.

* PoorCommunicationKills: A lot of the issues between himself and Sandalphon stem from their inability to communicate their feelings properly, likely due to neither of them fully understanding each others positions. [[spoiler: Had either of them realized these things sooner, the outcome would likely have been different.]]

* AmbiguouslyGay: He is emotionally attached to Sandalphon, calling him "my solace" and "my eternal peace". WordOfGod has said that their relationship contains elements of romantic love among the other kinds of love that it was intended to be symbolic of.[[note:It should be noted, however, that the two of them caring for each other emotionally does not necessarily translate into a physical or sexual attraction of any kind. In other words, they can love but not be ''in'' love or infatuated.]]

* CallBack: Playable Lucifer's "Paradise Lost" animation has him teleport into the golden heavens to rain down rays of light onto his enemies, similarly to what Lucifer does in his summon animation.
* CannotSpitItOut: One of his major issues is his inability to properly convey how he feels to those around him. This is likely due to the fact that he doesn’t understand his own feelings.

* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:Is killed by Beelzebub and Belial in "What Makes The Sky Blue: Paradise Lost" and becomes a driving force for Sandalphon to fulfill their promise.]]
* CombatMedic: He's the commander of the archangels, is widely regarded among Astrals and primarchs alike as an extremely powerful primal beast to the point where Astrals ''feared'' him, and he's strong enough to be able to go toe-to-toe with [[TopGod Bahamut.]] He's also a healer, if his summon's effects are any indication.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: A few times, as he tends to take things at face value. Most notably during [[spoiler:Sandalphon’s fate episode where he couldn’t see that Sandalphon was clearly lying about enjoying the taste of his coffee to spare his feelings and another time in a flash back in 000, where he misses Belial’s DoubleEntendre about boiling beasts.]]
* ConnectedAllAlong: [[spoiler: His role in "Created by the Stars, Loved by the Skies" connects him to Zooey and Geo through Cosmos. He is also connected to several other primals such as Tiamat, Luminiera, among others as he and Cosmos worked together to help the primals find a way to coexist with the sky dwellers after losing their assigned roles]].
* ContinuityDrift: His original summon description differed greatly from the role he was described to have in "What Makes the Sky Blue", as it was more in-line with his ''Rage of Bahamut'' incarnation. This was apparently deliberate on WordOfGod's part, as while the summon was originally introduced to be a collaborative item between the two franchises, the writers decided they wanted to differentiate the two worlds from each other by introducing their own take on "Lucifer", who became the character that appeared in "What Makes the Sky Blue". The summon description was updated in 2020 to reflect the new direction his character was taken.
* CosmicKeystone: Along with being the primarch of evolution, Lucifer embodies the rare element of ether, representative of the light and darkness in a constant cycle. When broken, it causes primal beasts to rampage and the skies to flicker until it turns pitch-black in color. [[spoiler: This can ''only'' happen when Lucifer is in a weakened state, which tips the other primarchs off that something has happened to him in "Paradise Lost"]].
* CreatingLife: He created Sandalphon under Lucilius’ order.
* CrazyJealousGuy: It's at least hinted that Sandalphon wasn't the only possessive or protective one in their dynamic, as Lucifer does have moments in the flashback sequences where it would appear that he's kept the other angels away from Sandalphon. For instance, despite all of the angels being present at the research facility, Sandalphon didn't know any of them personally and the other primarchs only had a vague notion of him existing as someone who served under Lucifer. This is because Sandalphon was confined to the garden, which was off-limits to everyone except Lucifer and needed permission to be entered. It's unknown if Lucifer is the one who made this rule, but he clearly did nothing to overturn it.
** Zig-zagged in the case of Belial's raid story flashback. Lucifer becomes visibly annoyed at Belial when he interrupts his coffee date with Sandalphon and reminds him that he's not supposed to be in the garden without permission, to which Belial clarifies that he got permission from Lucilius. Even after that, it's clear that he wants Belial to hurry up and leave after he gets what he came for. It's unknown if Lucifer's attitude toward him was because he was being possessive, or if it was because he doesn't trust Belial. That said, there was very little indication that he was aware of Belial's [[BitchInSheepsclothing true nature]] up until that point, making it come off as the former.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Outside of his shimmering wings, his color palette is quite dark and he is a representative of the aether of light ''and'' darkness. Despite this, he is a benevolent entity that has been the protector of the sky realm for over two millennia.
* DeathFromAbove: In both his summon animation [[spoiler: and playable unit shown in ''Created by the Stars, Loved by the Skies'']], Lucifer appears in the heavens and makes [[HardLight beams of light]] rain down on his foes.
* DecompositeCharacter: Like the other Lucifer-lookalikes, he covers an aspect of Lucifer from ''VideoGame/RageOfBahamut'', though in his case, his similarities aren't immediately noticeable and/or were revealed over the course of several events.

** Both ''Rage of Bahamut'' and ''Granblue Fantasy'' incarnation of Lucifer rebelled against their masters after finding out that they were being manipulated to their own ends by them, killing them. However, unlike Arch Seraph Lucifer who began his StartOfDarkness because of this, ''Granblue'' Lucifer remained on the side of good.
** They're both high-ranking angels, though Arch Seraph Lucifer's rank is only implied by his title. Lucifer meanwhile has a bit more depth given to his being the supreme primarch, as he has angels he's directly shown commanding.
* {{Determinator}}: [[spoiler:Beelzebub mentions that Lucifer was more resilient than he anticipated. Belial confirms that Lucifer didn't fight back because he was more focused on protecting the cradle Sandalphon was sleeping in, but these points do imply that Lucifer endured quite a lot before Beelzebub was able to behead him.]]
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: According to WordOfGod, he was deliberately created to be this to Lucifer from ''Rage of Bahamut'', who he was based off of, in order to differentiate the world of ''Granblue Fantasy'' from ''Rage of Bahamuts'' universe.
* TheDreaded: His existence was one of the only things keeping the origin beasts in check, [[spoiler: and following his death, they’d begun to rampage across the Sky Realm until Sandalphon obtained his power.]]
** [[spoiler: He’s also this to the villains in Paradise Lost, to the point where rather than facing him head on, they waited two thousand years for him to [[DirtyCoward let his guard down]] so that they could ambush him.]]
** Astrals feared him [[WorldsStrongestMan because of the sheer amount of power he held]], which lead to later generations of primals being created as weaker than the primarchs and in some cases, less intelligent, so that they would pose less of a threat and would be easier to control. [[spoiler: According to Cosmos' NPC description, the Astrals hid her existence from Lucifer out of wariness that he would affect her ability to carry out arbitration, no doubt due to his role in the rebellion and his executing his creator Lucilius]].
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler: It's an understatement to say that he was ''very'' abruptly killed off in part 2 of the "What Makes The Sky Blue" trilogy after the initial event set him up to be a more important character. Unlike most examples of this trope, however, his importance to the plot still persists after his death, though his appearances are usually relegated to flashbacks.]]
* DyingDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler: Though he doesn’t quite say "I love you", the last thing he confesses before he passes on is that if he had one wish, it would be to have coffee with Sandalphon again in that shaded garden. This finally convinced Sandalphon that Lucifer did truly care for him despite everything, and what begins his journey to avenge him.]]
* DyingToBeReplaced: [[spoiler: In spite of the set up he was given for a bigger role after What Makes The Sky Blue, he was killed in the follow-up event so that Sandalphon could not only take over his role as the Supreme Primarch and be redeemed in the process, but also so that players would feel sorry for Sandalphon enough to want him to join the crew.]]
* EarlyBirdCameo: [[spoiler: "Created by the Stars, Loved by the Skies" demonstrates his playable version’s kit in a one-on-one battle with Bahamut before it's official release]].
* ElementalEmbodiment: Of the aether split between light and darkness, though he is primarily treated as a light-element primarch.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Although downplayed compared to [[spoiler: Lucio]] due to Lucifer having less interactions with characters outside of the primarch group, Lucifer is very popular among the "What Makes The Sky Blue" characters characters of all genders, but most notably male ones like Sandalphon, who is described to love and/or yearn for Lucifer; Azazel, who rebelled for his sake; Lucilius, who was fixated on Lucifer as his creator and favored him over [[IgnoredEnamoredUnderling Belial]]; and Beelzebub who, despite hating and fearing Lucifer, was entranced by his beauty.
* EveryoneCanSeeIt: According to "What Makes the Sky Blue", the other primarchs were aware of Lucifer's favoritism for Sandalphon and were jealous over it. Lucilius and Belial also picked up on this addressed it differently; when discussing what would become of Sandalphon once his usefulness ran out, Lucilius offered to let Lucifer keep him as a pet instead of simply disposing of him; Belial on the other hand teased Lucifer over his obliviousness and used his attachment to Sandalphon to break him down during the rebellion.

Originally a summon, he becomes an important recurring character in the "What Makes the Sky Blue" storyline.

* AdaptationSpeciesChange: A downplayed example. In ''Rage of Bahamut'' he is an Angel, however in ''Granblue Fantasy'', he is a specific type of Primal Beast called a "Primarch", though "angel" and "archangel" are used as interchangeable terms along with it. OurAngelsAreDifferent is at play here.
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: His personality differs greatly from his original ''Rage of Bahamut'' counterpart, who was introduced as a {{Jerkass}} and bordered on being a generic doomsday villain until a follow-up event explored his origin story and allowed him to graduate to AntiHero status after his issues were resolved. ''Granblue Fantasy''[='=]s incarnation of Lucifer is comparatively mellower and more dutiful, choosing the path of good even though his circumstances [[spoiler: as in being used and betrayed by someone he trusted]] were similar to the original Lucifer's. This puts him a bit closer to Lucifer before his fall, who is known as Arch Seraph Lucifer, as they share in common their [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter naivety]], pure intentions, and their loyalty to their respective Gods despite their questioning what their Gods' motives are.
* ADayInTheLimelight: While the events in the "What Makes the Sky Blue" trilogy mostly focus on Sandalphon, he ends up getting a bit of development as well, which also served to expand on his role and relationships to the other characters. The second part of "Created by the Stars, Loved by the Skies" also goes into what he was up to after The War, [[spoiler:and demonstrates his playable version in a one-on-one ScriptedBattle with Bahamut.]]

* AllLovingHero: Even before designating himself to be the protector of the Sky Realm, Lucifer was kind to even those who had a clear dislike for him [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter and were obviously not good people]]. Lucilius exploited his naive trust in people to further his own ends, even though he was fully aware of what Lucifer's reaction would be once he became privvy to his plan [[spoiler: to use his creations to destroy the world]].
* AllPowerfulBystander: As he believes that meddling in mortal affairs is forbidden, he instead watches over the evolution of the skies from a distance and only involves himself when he feels it's absolutely necessary.
* AlternateUniverse: The Q-pot collaboration drama track takes place in one where he's a top Pastry chef working in a Patisserie he owns called "Le Ciel" with Lyria, Vyrn, The Dragon Knights and Sandalphon as his employees. "Le Ciel" exists in a [[PocketDimension space he created]] with the purpose of being a place of relaxation for sky farers after their travels.
* TheAloner: A self-inflicted example. After the war, Lucifer resigned himself to Canaan where he would remain alone for hundreds of years watching over the evolution of the sky realm. It's self-inflicted in that there is nothing keeping him from leaving his post, however he believes it's his duty to watch from the evolution of the sky realm from afar, enforcing the unwritten rule that making contact with humans is forbidden long after the Astrals that created it are gone. [[spoiler: He does break this rule quite a few times, as Sandalphon's skill fate reveals that Lucifer taught humans how to make coffee. He also begins to influence change in the sky realm with Cosmos' help.]]
* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: [[spoiler: If Belial's words are to be believed, he chose to die so that Sandalphon wouldn't become collateral damage upon his firing off in retaliation to Beelzebub's assault, this action playing into Belial and Beelzebub's plan to gain access to Lucilius' legacy, a potentially world-ending monster that can only be unleashed if he wasn't around to keep the seal on it intact. If it weren't for Sandalphon coming around to the idea of protecting the sky realm after obtaining Lucifer's power and hearing his final words, the world would been doomed]].
* AmbiguouslyGay: He is emotionally fixated on Sandalphon, calling him "my eternal peace". WordOfGod has said that there are feelings of romantic love within his relationship with Sandalphon, among the various other forms of love that their relationship represents.

* AscendedExtra: He was originally a collaborative summon from ''Rage of Bahamut'' that was meant to be elementally paired with the Bahamut summon. It wasn't until "What Makes The Sky Blue" that he would make a proper appearance as a character.

* BadassInDistress: "Paradise Lost" begins with Lucifer getting ambushed in Canaan. The event is put into motion because the four primarchs fear something has happened to Lucifer to cause ether to go out of balance and primal beasts of light and dark to begin rampaging across the skies. Much of the event focuses on the crew's efforts to reach Canaan and save Lucifer. [[spoiler:[[YouAreTooLate They don't make it in time.]]]]
* BarrierMaiden: Used himself as the seal for the Avatar. His continued existence was the only thing stopping the Avatar from breaking out of Canaan and bringing the world to ruin. [[spoiler:[[SacrificialLion When Beelzebub kills Lucifer,]] the Avatar breaks free from its seal and begins rampaging immediately.]]
** It's also revealed that Lucifer's power kept Pandemonium sealed and prevented the imprisoned origin beasts from escaping. Unlike with the Avatar, the seal remains intact because he was able to pass on his power to Sandalphon.

* BeingGodIsHard: His role as the supreme primarch and ultimate weapon wore on him overtime, as [[spoiler: Sandalphon]] finds out when viewing his memories that he was very lonely due to constantly being placed on a pedestal by those around him and was conflicted about his duties. These lines from his summon description sum up his plight pretty well.

* BenevolentBoss: [[spoiler:To the other Primarchs and Sandalphon. Sandalphon notes that Lucifer was loved and respected by everyone as well, though that didn’t stop Sandalphon from turning against him in the past. This extends to the [[FallenAngel fallen angels]] as revealed in "000", as rather than simply killing them for their parts in the rebellion, he sealed them anyway in Pandemonium, though whether this was the more [[CruelMercy "merciful"]] thing to do depends on your interpretation.]].
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's easily one of the gentlest primary Primarchs, possibly only being beat out by Gabriel, but he was also implied to have enough power to destroy the world and is ruthless towards enemies of the skies. [[spoiler:Not only did he cut down his own creator without hesitation, the GhostMemory Sandalphon sees shows that he relentlessly pursued Beelzebub and imprisoned every fallen angel who worked for Lucilius. However, if his reaction to any of this is any indication, he didn't like it one bit.]]
* BigGood: He is tasked with being the divine protector the skies and takes his job very seriously, thinking of his duty even in death. "What Makes The Sky Blue: Paradise Lost" implies that he wasn’t originally created with this purpose, as his original purpose was to govern over evolution with the tetra-element Primarchs assisting him in doing so [[spoiler:though after a "disagreement" with his creator that resulted in their death, he took it upon himself to become a largely unknown protector of the sky realm, sealing away Lucilius’ legacy before it can do any harm to the Sky Realm.]]
* BreakOutCharacter: Originally was and still is one of the most popular summons in the game likely due to his usefulness as a summon, his role in the “What Makes The Sky Blue” trilogy and the fact that he’s always been a popular recurring character across all of Creator/{{Cygames}} franchises. He was popular enough to get a 4* uncap alongside Bahamut in 2017 and an ultimate 5★ uncap in 2019. [[spoiler:Even after being killed off in What Makes The Sky Blue, there are still fans begging the creators for his return, with WordOfGod hinting that it just may happen in the future.]] He's also consistently been a requested character to become playable in ''Granblue Versus'' despite not being playable in the main game. When it came to an official 2021 poll from Famitsu on which [=NPCs=] players want to be playable, Lucifer beat other unplayable [=NPCs=], ''including'' Belial, by a wide margin.
* BuryYourGays: [[spoiler: Has had a ship tease laden relationship with Sandalphon since his NPC debut in "What Makes The Sky Blue" and was promptly killed off in the sequel event Paradise Lost. While their feelings for one another were reaffirmed in 000, the final entry to the main trilogy, and WordOfGod confirmed that their relationship is a symbol of romantic love, they’re still separated with it being unlikely that either character will be able to interact with each other onscreen for a long time, if ever again, due to his being dead]].

* AmbiguouslyGay: Several of the angels are this, though it has been noted in "Primal Resonance" that Primals don't perceive things in quite the same way mortals (including humans) do.

** Sariel is emotionally fixated on Belial, though it's more likely that he sees him simply as a friend and ally rather than a romantic interest. [[WordOfSaintPaul Sariel's voice actor]] says that he loves Belial even though they're separated, though he doesn't seem to specify that it's romantic love either.
** Belial smashes this by being openly and unabashedly [[DepravedBisexual bisexual]], but seems to have an emotional preoccupation with Lucilius per his dialogue in "000" that could be construed as romantic.

** To signify their status as {{Broken Angel}}s, Azrael and Israfel [[spoiler:have bone wings]] in "What Makes the Sky Blue III: 000".

** Avatar and Belial (after absorbing the former's powers) have black bat wings accented with a shade of red. Likewise, Avatar and Metatron have three pairs of wings to signify their higher ranking than the tetra-elemental primarchs and pairs of twin messenger angels.

* MookMaker: Lucifer is able to summon more Angel Cores at will. [[spoiler: Sandalphon]] had his own version of these that were under his command in ''What Makes The Sky Blue'' - they were called Virtue Cores and were essentially Angel Cores with a darker color scheme.
* NatureSpirit: The tetra-element Primarchs technically function as this, as they were created with the explicit purpose of keeping the elements in check and assisting Lucifer in governing over evolution. Michael has control over fire, Gabriel water, Uriel earth, and Raphael wind. It's revealed that if anything happens to them or their wings, the Sky Realm would fall apart. We even get to see an example of this, as Uriel having his wings taken causes islands to ''fall out of the sky''. At the end of ''000'' [[spoiler:per Lucifer's plan, the primarchs cede their roles back to nature and retire.]]

** They typically fit the normal trend of WingedHumanoid, but the four and Metatron spend their time typically without physical form, as they are assimilated with their respective elements. Raphael is the most distinct as his body actually unravels in his strongest form. While the angels also have a [[CouncilOfAngels form of hierarchy and organization]], being a FallenAngel is pretty much like how it is depicted in mythology and religion, with the difference that [[spoiler:the angel in question was recruited to a secret coup-de-etat faction by Belial (like in Sariel's case), or worse, ''experimented on and forcibly turned into'' (like in Azrael and Israfel's case).]] The narration may also interchange the terms "fallen angel" and "origin beast", which are actually synonymous.
** Rather than being descendent from any sort of Heaven or the souls of deceased humans like traditional angels, these Primals were created by the Astral researcher Lucilius to help him study and monitor specific aspects of evolution, though the exact details of how he managed to do that are unknown.

* PowerGivesYouWings: Their power is directly tied to their wings. When they lose their wings due to an outside force, they lose most of their control over the elements and the world begins to change as a result of that - such as islands falling from the sky when [[spoiler: Sandalphon]] snatches Uriel's wings. It's unknown if other types of Primals can make use of the Primarch wings, but Primarchs can power themselves when sharing wings amongst each other. As well, the more wings a Primarch has, the more powerful they become [[spoiler: as evidenced by Sandalphon becoming the most powerful primal in existence at 12 wings]]. ''What Makes The Sky Blue'' implies that they can even use ''non''-primarch wings to power up themselves [[spoiler: as Sandalphon attempted to steal Vyrn's wings to gain more power]].

* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: Their names are taken from the pre-existing Angels of the real-world Abrahamic religions. There are also outlying examples of DubNameChange in the cases of Halluel and Malluel (from Harut and Marut) and Avatar (whose appearance is based on one of ''Satan'''s forms from ''VideoGame/RageOfBahamut''), yet they are still derived from Abrahamic characters.

* RememberTheNewGuy: Save for the Fallen Angels who at least have the excuse of having been trapped in Pandemonium off-screen, the angels introduced from "Paradise Lost" onwards are this, as "What Makes The Sky Blue" confirmed that there weren't any other primarchs beyond the Supreme Primarch Lucifer, the tetra-element Primarchs, and [[spoiler: Sandalphon]] that remained in the Sky Realm after the rebellion. Halluel and Malluel still show up without explanation.

* TrainingFromHell: The fights against the four are this - after acquiring their respective weapons, they appear to the protagonist in a dream and battle them in order to [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility ensure that the protagonist can wield them properly]].
* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: While they aren’t robots, they were Primals created by the Astrals that then rebelled against them under the orders of Lucilius during the Astral vs Origin Beast rebellion. While Rosetta read that they rebelled because they believed they were superior to their Astral creators, "000" reveals that some rebelled because they believed they were doing it for the sake of the respective person they had loyalty to (Lucifer for Azazel and Lucilius for Olivia). After Lucifer [[spoiler: killed Lucilius]], he took over, leaving the Astral labs abandoned. By the time of "What Makes the Sky Blue", the Astrals' labs have become crumbling ruins.

* TheWorfEffect: For extremely powerful prototype Primals, they get taken down fairly easily by [[spoiler: Sandalphon]], who is a fledgling primarch with two wings. Rosetta justifies this by saying that despite their power, they lack defense.

One of the very first primal beasts ever created, he is known as the supreme primarch who commands all other archangels. His purpose is to oversee and guide evolution within the skydoms. His appearance is said to be the spitting image of the Astral researcher who created him.

* AmbiguouslyGay: He is emotionally fixated on Sandalphon, calling him "my eternal peace". WordOfGod confirmed that there are feelings of romantic love in his relationship with Sandalphon, among the various other forms of love that their relationship represents.

** In terms of characterization and story arc, Lucifer is a MessianicArchetype while Belial and Lucilius are [[SatanicArchetype SatanicArchetypes]].

* CouncilOfAngels: They were grouped according to function. Those who are loyal to the Supreme Primarch were given the task of overseeing evolution while messenger angels Halluel&Malluel and Azrael&Israfel were closely associated due to their similar roles. [[spoiler:As of ''What Makes The Sky Blue III: 000'', Lucilius and Belial oversaw the group of fallen angels, with the latter being assigned as Deputy Head of Research]].
* DarkIsEvil: Zig-zagged. Nearly all known fallen angels are associated with the Dark element, though only three of them are truly villanous; [[spoiler: Belial, Kokabiel, and Sandalphon prior to his redemption arc]]. That said, while the others aren't ''actually'' villainous, they do have some negative qualities:
** Olivia is a BitchInSheepsClothing who is [[AbortedArc (or was)]] using the protagonist to get information on the Supreme Primarch. As well, during the time of the rebellion, she sided with Lucilius. That said, it's implied in her fates and seasonals that she was developing some sort of genuine affection during her time in the crew which had begun to conflict with her mission.
** Azazel is a {{Tsundere}} JerkWithAHeartOfGold who can be quite obnoxious but genuinely looks out for others. He also sided with the Supreme Primarch during the rebellion after finding out that he was manipulated into participating in a pointless war by Belial, though he still ended up sealed away in Pandemonium regardless.
** Sariel, who is innocent and gentle fallen angel, is ObliviouslyEvil due to his desire to free the ArcVillain from his prison in the dimensional rift. His intentions are pure, as he only wants to be reunited with Belial who he cares about deeply, but he doesn't fully understand what freeing him might entail due to his PowerLimiter affecting his self-reasoning skills.
** Astaroth's dialogue implies that their hatred for Lucifer is [[MisplacedRetribution misplaced]], as they believe he deliberately betrayed their kind during the rebellion for the sake of the Astrals, [[LockedOutOftheLoop which, according to several flashbacks of the rebellion, was shown to not be the case]]. Regardless, they have a plan to exact revenge on him.
* DemotedToExtra: With the exception of Sariel, Halluel&Malluel, and Sandalphon, every single Primarch has had their original importance diminish after the end of "000". [[spoiler: Lucifer may be better off than the tetra-element Primarchs, because despite being dead, he still has a major influence over pretty much everything that’s happening]].
* TheDreaded: Lower creatures and monsters are afraid of a primarch's aura and tend to stop in fear when they encounter them. [[spoiler: For example, in Europa's summer episode, a monster tries to charge straight at the beach house, but since Gabriel is in the building, it turned back from its course and attacked the nearby captain and Europa instead.]]
** The primals began rampaging following [[spoiler: Lucifer’s death]] implying that his presence was the only thing keeping them in check.

* ElementalEmbodiment: The tetra-element primarchs each represent the an element that their powers are based off of, with those being fire, water, earth, and wind for Michael, Gabriel, Uriel, and Raphael respectively. The Supreme Primarch Lucifer [[spoiler: and later Sandalphon]] is representative of the aether split between light and darkness, though he is primarily treated as a light element primarch.
* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: [[CosmicKeystone Due to their powers holding the world together]], if anything happens to their wings, this could happen. Uriel losing his wings causes islands to ''fall out of the sky'' [[spoiler: and Lucifer being in his weakened state allowed origin beasts to rampage]].
* {{Expy}}: Lucifer, Avatar, Olivia, Astaroth, and Azazel are all imported from ''Rage of Bahamut'' with their roles have been altered slightly or [[DivergentCharacterEvolution outright changed]] to reflect the new setting they appear in. Belial, at least from a design perspective, is based off of Lucifel from ''VideoGame/ElShaddaiAscensionOfTheMetatron''. The rest of the primarchs and fallen angels are ''Granblue Fantasy'' originals.
* FallenAngel: While they don’t necessarily align with those you’d hear about in the biblical lore due to the way Granblue Fantasy’s universe works, the ones introduced essentially work as this. So far, the only fallen Angels we’ve been formally introduced to are Azazel and Olivia, both of whom are playable, Belial, Sariel, Azrael and Israfel. Astaroth has yet to be properly introduced but she and some of the other fallen angels are shown in the Pandemonium level of Co-op. A fallen angel named Kokabiel was introduced in [[spoiler: Cerberus']] 5* fate episodes.

* FatalFlaw: "Pride" might be one for the tetra-element Primarchs. Their failure to assess Sandalphon as a legitimate threat is what allows him to get the jump on them and steal their wings in ''What Makes The Sky Blue''. They also act dismissively toward the mortal characters who are trying to help them until they prove their usefulness.
* {{Foil}}: To the six dragons. Both groups govern the world's elements, but in different ways — the Primarchs regulate what their elements can/should be used for, while the Dragons govern the physical laws and limitations of their elements. Additionally, the Primarchs once answered to the Astrals [[spoiler: prior to the rebellion. After the rebellion and the elimination of their Astral overlords, they followed the supreme primarch]]. The Dragons, on the other hand, do not answer to any higher being (though they came into being shortly after Bahamut, they are not directly connected).
* UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics: The Primarchs refer to Lucifer as “Lucifer-sama” when they aren’t simply referring to him as the Supreme Primarch, noting his superiority over them and their respect for him. It’s shown in the flashbacks that [[spoiler: Sandalphon]] referred to him as this, as well, though [[BrokenPedestal dropping it after he rebelled.]] Post-What Makes The Sky Blue: Paradise Lost, [[RebuiltPedestal he begins to refer to him as “Lucifer-sama” again.]]

* GhostMemory: Primarch memories are transferrable through their feathers, as we learn from Sandalphon seeing Lucifer's memories after obtaining his wings. We are later treated to flashbacks from Belial's perspective after Sandalphon touches his feather. The transference of memories seems involuntary on the part of the viewer and seemingly only works among primarchs, as Lyria had access to one of Lucifer's feathers but was never shown his memories.
* GodInHumanForm: The most powerful primals in existence who occasionally take on human forms to interact with the sky realm. When they're not in human form, they're usually assimilated with their respective elements.

** Friendly Primarchs usually have the typical "bird"-like wings, with varying colors to distinguish their feathers from the others.
** To signify their status as {{Broken Angel}}s, [[spoiler:the deformed state of Azrael and Israfel in "What Makes the Sky Blue III: 000" has bone wings]].

** Avatar and Belial (after absorbing the former's powers) have black bat wings accented with a shade of red. Likewise, Avatar and Metatron have three pairs of wings to signify their higher ranking than the tetra-elemental primarchs and pairs of twin angels.
* GrewBeyondTheirProgramming: All of the Primarchs were created with a specific purpose, but they eventually grew to want to do things for themselves, leading to Lucifer's plan to have them return their roles to nature and retire.
* HairWings: With the exception of Lucifer, Sandalphon and Gabriel, every primarch has wings in their hair. Michael hair in particular seems to be made up entirely of wings. On the other hand, Gabriel's hair appears to be a mass of pink feathers.

* HealingFactor: Primarchs have the ability to regenerate parts of their bodies and as well as their wings when they’re injured.
* HumansAreSpecial: Initially downplayed in ''What Makes The Sky Blue'', as the primarchs initially rejected the help of the mortal characters after being taken down by [[spoiler: Sandalphon]]. They become more welcoming of their help once they prove how capable they are against an unknown foe.
* LastOfTheirKind: In "What Makes the Sky Blue", the tetra-element primarchs explain that there aren't any other high primarchs wandering around after the events of the rebellion, which is why Sandalphon's appearance as the fifth primarch was such a big deal. After "Paradise Lost", this trope gets downplayed considerably due to Belial, Az&Is, Sariel, and Halluel&Malleul showing up in the events while Azazel and Olivia are relegated to fate-episode introductions. Halluel&Malluel is perhaps the worst case, as they're the only ones among that group that ''aren't'' fallen angels and [[RememberTheNewGuy weren't given decent explanations for why they weren't mentioned as being among the remaining primarchs before]]. [[note]]Belial is explained as being part of the reason for the rebellion happening in the first place and he hid his presence from the other primarchs so they couldn't find him when he escaped. Az&Is and Sariel were casualties of the rebellion that ended up disappearing a long time ago. Azazel and Olivia are Pandemonium escapees like Sandalphon, though their escapes happened after "What Makes the Sky blue" rather than during it[[/note]]

* LightIsGood: Lucifer, Halluel&Malluel, and Metatron are all light-element primarchs and are unambiguously benevolent.
* LivingRelic: They are relics of the time before the war when the first primals, aptly titled "origin beasts", were created over 2000 years ago.
* LeotardOfPower: Nearly all the female Primarchs shown so far wear leotards. The only exception thus far has been Dark Angel Olivia, however this is justified as her design is imported from ''Rage of Bahamut''.

** The mooks that Sandalphon can summon and command are referred to as "origin beasts" or "Virtue Cores", looking similar to Angel cores but with a darker palette.

* MookMaker: Lucifer is able to summon more Angel Cores at will. [[spoiler: Sandalphon]] had his own version of these that were under his command in ''What Makes The Sky Blue'', which were called Virtue Cores and were essentially Angel Cores with a darker color scheme.
* NatureSpirit: The tetra-element Primarchs technically function as this, as they were created with the explicit purpose of keeping the elements in check and assisting Lucifer in governing over evolution. Michael has control over fire, Gabriel water, Uriel earth, and Raphael wind. It's revealed that if anything happens to them or their wings, the Sky Realm would end. We even get to see an example of this, as Uriel having his wings taken causes islands to ''fall out of the sky''. [[spoiler: At the end of ''000'' per Lucifer's plan, they return their roles back to nature and retire.]]

** They typically fit the normal trend of WingedHumanoid, but the four and Metatron spend their time typically without physical form, as they are assimilated with their respective elements. Raphael is the most distinct as his body unravels in his strongest form. While the angels also have a [[CouncilOfAngels form of hierarchy and organization]], being a FallenAngel is pretty much like how it is depicted in mythology and religion, with the difference that [[spoiler:the angel was recruited to a secret coup-de-etat faction by Belial (like in Sariel's case), or worse, ''experimented and forcibly turned into'' (like in Azrael and Israfel's case).]] The narration may also interchange the terms "fallen angel" and "origin beast", which are actually synonymous.
** Rather than being descendent from any sort of Heaven or the souls of deceased humans like traditional angels, these primals were created by the Astral researcher Lucilius to help him study and monitor specific aspects of evolution, though the exact details of how he managed to do that are unknown.
** Lesser primarchs rarely have humanoid forms, with the Angel Halos, the most common Primarch, being floating wings and halos surrounding their cores, followed by the more human and baby-like Archangels and Watchers, gaining more humanoid traits the higher up the hierarchy they are. Primarch weapons also existed but were no more than tools of slaughter, as the four-faced Cherub shown in "000".
* OutOfFocus: The original Primarch's save for Lucifer after "000", to the point of not physically showing up in the angel storyline continuations such as The Maydays or Tower of Babyl or their related stories. As well, as of 2022, they haven't been given playable units.
* PerceptionFilter: Primarchs are able to mask their aura for extended periods of times, which Gabriel equates to a mortal not sleeping. The only primarch known to have done this is [[spoiler: Belial]], who used this tactic to evade being tracked down by the other primarchs for over two thousand years.
* PhysicalGod: They're among the strongest primals in existence, vastly overshadowing the primals that came after them in power, and are able to appear before the crew in human form. When they're ''not'' in human form, they're usually assimilated with their respective elements, being described as omnipresent just as nature is around mortals.

* PowerGivesYouWings: Their power is directly tied to their wings. When they lose their wings due to an outside force, they lose most control over the elements and the world begins to change as a result of that, such as islands falling from the sky when [[spoiler: Sandalphon]] snatches Uriel's wings. It's unknown if other types of Primals can make use of the primarch wings, but primarchs can power themselves when sharing wings amongst each other. As well, the more wings a primarch has, the more powerful they become [[spoiler: as evidenced by Sandalphon becoming the most powerful primal in existence at 12-wings]]. ''What Makes The Sky Blue'' implies that they can even use ''non''-primarch wings to power up themselves [[spoiler: as Sandalphon attempted to steal even Vyrns wings to gain more power]].
* {{Putto}}: Winged babies, likely meant to evoke the modern image of cherubs, [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/summon_b_2040311000.png are seen holding up Gabriel's shawl]]. [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/npc_zoom_3040319000_02.png They also cameo in in SSR Lamretta's uncap art]]. Unlike the angel halos, their nature as primarchs is never explained in the story, though it can be assumed that they're a level higher than the lesser primarchs due to their humanoid forms.

* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: Their names are taken from the pre-existing Angels of Abrahamic religions. There are also outlying examples of DubNameChange in the cases of Halluel and Malluel (from Harut and Marut) and Avatar (whose appearance is based on one of ''Satan'''s forms from ''VideoGame/RageOfBahamut''), yet they are still derived from Abrahamic characters.
** Lucifer's base of operations after the rebellion is the holy shrine Canaan, a name that appears frequently throughout the Bible.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Save for the fallen angels who at least have the excuse of having been trapped in Pandemonium off-screen, the angels introduced from "Paradise Lost" onwards are this, as "What Makes The Sky Blue" confirmed that there weren't any other primarchs beyond the supreme primarch Lucifer, the tetra-element primarchs, and [[spoiler: Sandalphon]] that remained in the sky realm after the rebellion. Halluel and Malluel still show up without explanation.

* SuperPrototype: Primarchs are the original Primal Beasts created by the Astral researcher [[spoiler:Lucilius]]. Their natures are more fundamental for the world and help keep it functioning compared to future ones who served more specific duties. Their power likewise is greater, and later Primal Beasts were created weaker to make them easier to control as most of the primarchs rebelled.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: [[BreakoutVillain Sandalphon]], [[RememberTheNewGuy Halluel and Malluel]] become this from "Paradise Lost" onwards.
* SuperEmpowering: Primarch's have the ability to transfer their wings and powers between each other. [[spoiler: The only characters who have been shown to do this are Sandalphon and Belial]].

* ThereIsAnother: The primarchs believed that there weren't any other high primarchs left in the Sky Realm beyond themselves after the end of rebellion until the fifth primarch Sandalphon made an appearance. Downplayed, however, as Sandalphon escaped his imprisonment in Pandemonium and wasn't simply walking around, explaining why they couldn't sense him.
* TheUnfought: Lucifer, Sariel, Halluel&Malluel, Azazel, and Azrael&Israfel are all angels that the player doesn’t fight against at any point. As well, none of them have raids.
* TrainingFromHell: The fights against the four are this; after acquiring their respective weapons, they appear to the protagonist in a dream and battle them in order to [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility ensure that the protagonist can wield them properly]].
* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: While they aren’t robots, they were primals created by the Astrals that rebelled against them under the orders of Lucilius during the Astral vs origin beast rebellion. While Rosetta read that they rebelled because they believed they were superior to their Astral creators, "000" reveals that some rebelled because they believed they were doing it for the sake of the respective person they had loyalty to (Lucifer for Azazel, Lucilius for Olivia). After Lucifer killed [[spoiler: Lucilius]], he took over, leaving the Astral labs abandoned. By the time of "What Makes the Sky Blue" the Astrals labs have become crumbling ruins.

* TronLines: Michael's armor, Uriel's veins, Raphael's unraveled body, and Gabriel's leotard all take on these traits as a cue for the second phase of their fight.
* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler: It’s currently unknown what happened to every fallen angel that Lucifer sealed in Pandemonium once it had begun its descent and was eventually destroyed by Shalem and Sahar.]]
* WingedHumanoid: Every Primarch and FallenAngel is this, though the number of wings they have is varied. For the strongest Primarchs, the base number of wings they have is 6, [[spoiler: though they are able to obtain more through an outside force.]]

** Sandalphon originally had one set wings, [[spoiler: though by the end of the trilogy, he has 12.]]

** Sariel has one wing.
** Both sets of twin angels share a pair of wings between themself and their respective Angel partner, making four wings all together.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Upon uncapping all Seraphic weapons to 4 stars, the player is given the Alter Ego Conjurer skin which depicts them as crazed because of the hold chaos has gotten on them. Belial warned them of this, and it’s heavily implied that he’s the direct cause of their transformation as there was a second skin released that’s tied to his Granblue Versus unit titled Malevolent Alter Ego, which depicts them in a similarly warped way but dressed in his style of clothing.
* TheWorfEffect: For extremely powerful prototype primals, they get taken down fairly easily by [[spoiler: Sandalphon]], who is a fledgling primarch with two wings. Rosetta justifies this by saying that despite their power, they lack defense.
* WorldsStrongestMan: They are among the oldest and strongest primals ever created, if not ''the'' strongest, with Lucifer being the most powerful among their ranks and existing on higher plane. [[spoiler: Sandalphon, who by the end of "000" has the power of Lucifer and the tetra-element primarchs, is the strongest being in all of creation, only held back by the fact that he hasn't fully grasped how to handle ultimate power]].
* UndyingLoyalty: The primarchs to Lucifer. [[spoiler:Michael even says he’s irreplicable as their Supreme Primarch after his death, but grows to accept Sandalphon as his successor when he proves himself.]]

There are four primarchs that control the four tetra-elements are responsible for natural order. They are listed in the order they were introduced in "What Makes The Sky Blue", and are named after the four archangels from ''Literature/TheBible'' namely [[ArchangelRaphael Raphael]], [[ArchangelMichael Michael]], [[ArchangelGabriel Gabriel]] and [[ArchangelUriel Uriel]].

Three more primarchs appear in "What Makes The Sky Blue II: Paradise Lost", two acting as messengers for Lucifer and third being the light legacy of their creator Lucilius. A dark legacy named Avatar was also created but only acts as a form of pure power.

More primarchs were introduced in "What Makes The Sky Blue III: 000", including the two archangels of instruction Azrael and Israfel, along with a skilled, yet emotionless Sariel. All three of which became {{Fallen Angel}}s.

* AmbiguouslyGay: Several of the angels are this.
** Lucifer and Sandalphon may either be this or SingleTargetSexuality, as they're depicted as being emotionally fixated on each other. WordOfGod confirms that their relationship is symbolic of romantic love, familial love, and friendship.
** Halluel is all but stated by WordOfGod to be a LipstickLesbian. She comes onto Lyria in "The Maydays", is scolded by Malluel for ogling girls in their summer version voice lines, and her profile states that she likes pretty girls. Malluel contrasts her by being exclusively into men like Rackam, so much so that it says that she likes "Brave men" on her profile.
** Sariel is emotionally fixated on Belial, though it's ambiguous if it's a romantic attachment or if he sees him as a friend. [[WordOfSaintPaul His voice actor]] says that he loves Belial even though they're separated, though he doesn't specify if it's romantic love.
** Belial smashes this by being openly and unabashedly [[DepravedBisexual bisexual]], but he seems to only have a romantic interest in Lucilius per his dialogue in "000".
* AnimalMotifs: Birds. All of the primarchs have bird-like feathered wings and are born from egg-shaped Seraphim Cradles. Sandalphon's wing pattern is the most realistic of the primarchs, being brown with a lighter brown stripe across them, likening him to a sparrow. Sandalphon's Grand fate episode even has him compare himself and Lucifer to a pair of birds he saw frolicking together, with one being brown and the other white.
* AngelicAbomination: Contrasting the attractive primarchs, archangel weapons are quite terrifying. Take for example, The Cherub, a multi-winged, golden statue-like creature with multiple heads and gaping mouths. It's apparently incapable of vocalizing anything other than groans and screams.

* AngelUnaware: Due to their humanoid appearances, they blend in seamlessly with the mortals. Gabriel in particular blended in so well that not even Lyria, who should be able to sense primals, knew she was a primal until she revealed herself despite being right in front of her.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: "What Makes The Sky Blue" explains that there were multiple different types of primarchs with roles that didn't necessarily correlate with an element, though most of them are gone by the time the event happens. For example, Olivia is the primarch that presided over dusk, which rather than literally controlling dusk entails acting as a personification of death of sorts, allowing different creatures a peaceful end at the end of their journey. A throwaway line from Sandalphon implies that there is a primarch that presides over luck, though the player is never introduced to them.
* BackgroundHalo: All of the Primarchs except Lucifer and Halluel&Malluel have one in their summon and raid forms. Lucifer gains one in his 5* uncap (to make up for his lack of one in his original art which predates the primarch summons). Halluel&Malluel, on the other hand, have a rune-like halo above them.
* BadassCrew: Similarly his ''VideoGame/RageOfBahamut'' counterpart [[note]] Bahamut Lucifer had a team of 4 fallen angel- Azazel, Zephon, Egregori and Samael of whom he is shown to command. Interestingly, so far only Azazel has been shown to exist in the Granblue universe, retaining his role as a loyal follower of Lucifer.[[/note]], Lucifer has a team of 4 powerful angels of whom he directly commands as they keep the peace and order in the world. He is the most powerful one and governs over evolution as well as the aether of light and darkness.
* BeamSpam: Lucifer and Halluel&Malluel demonstrate this ability with "Paradise Lost" and "Eternal Pain", respectively. It's also one of Cherub's triggers.

* BiblicalMotifs: A huge motif for the Primarchs stemming from Lucifer’s original summons call "Paradise Lost", which serves as a ShoutOut to the epic poem of the same name by John Milton.

** In terms of characterization and story arc, Lucifer is a MessianicArchetype while Belial and Lucilius are SatanicArchetype's.
** Lucifer and Belial have a dynamic similar to CainAndAbel [[spoiler: though Belial doesn't end up being the one to kill Lucifer as he merely aids in conspiring to do so. The one to actually do the deed is Beelzebub]].
** The research labs garden is all but stated to be an allusion to the GardenOfEden, as it's a calming and idyllic place that was special to both Lucifer and Sandalphon and off-limits to anyone except them to enter without permission. Further playing into the allusion, Sandalphon gaining knowledge of his true purpose and subsequently beginning his StartOFDarkness is what caused the garden to lose the sanctity it once had and be left abandoned.
** There's also Pandemonium, a primal beast shaped like a tower where primarchs, fallen angels and Otherworldly Beings were sealed by Lucifer and the remaining primarchs during the time of the rebellion.

** [[spoiler:Raphael, Michael, Uriel, and Gabriel lose their wings and powers thanks to Sandalphon. Though they later re-grow them back at the end of the event.]]
** [[spoiler:Lucifer gets beheaded and his wings ripped as a part of Beelzebub's and Belial's plans in the sequel. He transfers his powers to Sandalphon before they can make use of them.]].
** [[spoiler:Azrael and Israfel getting horribly disfigured, stitched together and their heads tied in a sack.]]
** [[spoiler:Belial steals a pair of Sariel's wings just to have the power of Avatar for himself.]]

* ClassicalElementsEnsemble: Lucifer and the four primarchs each control one of four tetra-elements. Lucifer represents [[ElementNumberFive Aether]], split between light and darkness associations as befit his name and eventual fall. Raphael represents wind. Gabriel represents water. Uriel represents Earth. And Michael represents fire.
* ColorCodedElements: Averted for most of the Primarchs, as their wing colors don’t necessarily match up with the element they have control over.
** Despite being a wind Primarch, Raphael’s wings are a vibrant reddish-orange.
** Michael, a fire Primarch, has off-white-colored wings.

** Sandalphon is (presumably) a light-element based primarch who has brown wings.

** Lucifer is an odd case. He’s primarily a light-element Primarch who’s wings are described as white, but they have a pink and purple color to them at full power. When de-powered, they’re white with a yellow glow at the base. As well, nothing about his wing design suggests him having influence over dark, despite the fact that he oversees the balance of light and dark as a primarch.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: They are the strongest Primal Beasts in existence but have their own hobbies and eccentricies. For example, Gabriel, the water element primarch, is a cheerful HardDrinkingPartyGirl when she's not committed to her duties.

** As a representative of the ether of light and darkness, the absence of the Supreme Primarch causes the skies to flicker and origin beasts to rampage, with the possibility of destroying inhabited islands in the process. [[spoiler:It happens at the start of "What Makes The Sky Blue II: Paradise Lost" when Lucifer is in a weakened state. This causes the other four Primarchs to come down and enlist the help of the singularity. Fortunately, there is a backup – the fifth Primarch Sandalphon whom Lucifer kept in a Seraphim Cradle, with Lyria holding the plume that can awaken him from slumber.]]
** Should ever the four primarchs wielding the tetra-elements be defeated in the "grand finale", their powers will also cease to operate. However, Lucifer has an insurance that makes the tetra-element powers be ceded to nature to maintain the natural order even if one of the four is killed. By "The Maydays", the four primarchs and the twin pairs of archangels have already ceded their roles to nature so that they could simply live with the mortals.

* PiecesOfGod: As it turns out, [[spoiler:not only Bahamut is one half of the original god, but he's also divided among the sky, not only on different Primal Beasts but different Bahamuts as well. On stories and spinoffs, we've seen 4 currently: Proto-Bahamut, Vyrn, Versusia and Bahamut Versa. Each fragment also can grow beyond the original Bahamut's wishes and thoughts, as Proto-Bahamut shows by saving Vyrn from being wiped by the Omnipotent at the cost of his growing sentience during Bahamut's Fate Episodes.]]

* TheBusCameBack: Parashurama makes an appearance in [[Manga/MyHeroAcademia Midoriya Izuku]]'s Skill fate episode after his debut in Shiva's 5* Uncap episode.

* OutOfFocus: They have yet to make a proper appearance in ''any'' Primarch-related event story despite their connection to them.

The primarch of Earth. Being the youngest of the four primarchs, the others treat him like a little brother.

* AttackAttackAttack: His primary fighting style as his regeneration basically nulls any wounds an enemy inflicts. [[spoiler:Unfortunately this doesn't quite work against Sariel wielding an immortal killing weapon.]]
* ArmorPiercingAttack: His role in the Four Primarchs raid, being the first phase of the fight, he puts up a buff that lets him ''completely ignore'' Damage Cut buffs (the all elemental type ones only, the single element cuts wotk normally), letting him bring the pain as early as possible.
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: The youngest of the tetra-Primarchs. It’s stated in his profile that because of this, the elder 3 treat him like a younger brother.
* BloodKnight: Not a villainous example, but he loves to fight and test the physical capabilities of others, even challenging others to outdo him.
* DishingOutDirt: He’s an earth element Primarch.
* DumbMuscle: Or Sandalphon expected him to be as the brawn of the tetra-element primarchs. He ends up being a bit smarter than he seems.
* ElementalEmbodiment: Of the earth element.
* FireForgedFriends: Because Sariel is the only angel capable of matching Uriel in terms of physical strength, they treat each other as a WorthyOpponent. But as "The Maydays" event shows, Sariel is actually concerned about Uriel that he inquires his condition from the other angels. In return, Malluel thinks of informing a worried Uriel right away that Sariel returned from being missing-in-action.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: His fists are infused with the power of earth. The Gauntlet of Uriel contains his power, and is one of the Seraphic Weapons the player can forge.
* HairWings: He has two brown wings growing out of the sides of his head.
* HeroicBuild: Very muscular.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's the most openly abrasive of the primarchs, often speaking in a very rough manner and he tends to mock the captain, but he's a pretty nice guy underneath it all.
* MagmaMan: Has one charge attack that deals both earth and fire damage.
* TheMentor: He’s this to Alexiel, though Alexiel takes his training far more seriously than he seems to.
* MuggleSportsSuperAthletes: In Alexiel’s summer fate episode, Vyrn calls him out on calling mundane summer activities “Uriel Style”, [[MundaneMadeAwesome until they see it put into practice.]] Needless to say, only [[GodInHumanForm Alexiel]] and the protagonist are able to keep up, though the protagonist is noted to become became visibly weary over every activity.
* MusclesAreMeaningful: He’s extremely muscular which translates to his demonstrated SuperStrength.
* OutOfFocus: Along with the other tetra-element Primarchs, his role become lesser and lesser as the "What Makes The Sky Blue" storyline progresses, to the point where he doesn’t show up in The Maydays or Tower of Babyl, which are both direct continuations of the story. [[SpotlightStealingSquad Sandalphon]] even makes up an excuse for why he and the other primarchs can’t be of any help to them in Tower of Babyl.
* SmarterThanYouLook: Sandalphon essentially says this to him in his Grand versions skill fate episode after he quickly deduces that Sandalphon is a primarch and an escaped convict from Pandemonium.
* SpinningPiledriver: Attempted this to Sariel from some distance in the air, to some effect as it ends up taking out two of his wings, which would in turn [[spoiler:prevent Belial from gaining an unbeatable amount of power when he took Sariel's wings.]]
* SuperStrength: The most physically adept of the Tetra-element Primarchs to an almost exaggerated degree, further demonstrated in Alexiel’s summer fate episode.
* SupremeChef: He's well known for his "Uriel Stew".
* TheBigGuy: Of the four Primarchs, he fulfills this role.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Only wears what looks like a fur collar.

[[caption-width-right:350:The Fifth Primarch]]

Having arisen from a deep, long slumber, this archangel has inherited the will of the supreme primarch, Lucifer. Though Sandalphon previously had no role to play, he now bears the burden of carrying out vengeance in hopes of fulfilling a promise.

A primal beast residing over Zinkenstill. Lyria borrowed its power when they were cornered by the empire in the beginning of the story. [[spoiler:He is called the Omnipotent in the creation myths recorded in Etemenanki. Described by his Speaker, Helel ben Sahar, as a being from another dimension, he created the new world with some similiarity to the [[VideoGame/RageOfBahamut previous world]] he was in. After the creation, Bahamut split into to two halves, one half as the Sky God, the other as the Astral God. For ages both halves fought proxy wars with each other in an attempt to reunite with the other.]]

The primarch of Water. Overflowing with kindness and compassion, she often acts as a mediator. Every now and then she will assume the form of a mortal and live among them to satisfy her interest in people-watching.

* AnIcePerson: Nearly all of her attacks are ice-themed.
* AngelUnaware: After learning what became of her fellow primarchs, she hid herself among the mortals, pretending to be a nurse. She did so so well that Lyria, who should be able to sense primarchs, didnt realize she was one.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She may be the nicest and kindest among the Primarchs, but she's every bit as deadly and powerful as them. Gameplay-wise, many players consider her the most difficult of the Primarchs to face.
* BirdsOfAFeather: With her disciple Europa, which is likely why they get along better than the other disciple and primarch pairs introduced,.
* EarlyBirdCameo: She appeared very briefly in the "Kappa Chronicle" summer event alongside to set up for a future storyline. The set-up was for Summer Europa's fate episodes in which she played a big role.
* ElementalEmbodiment: Of the water element.
* TheGadfly: She's quite fond of teasing others just to see their reactions, with how she teases Michael in the first WMTSB, and Cagliostro in 000.
* GodInHumanForm: Will sometimes disguise herself as a human in order to go people-watching.
* HairWings: AvertedTrope, as she's notable one of the only primarchs without these. Instead, her hair appears to be a mass of pink feathers.
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: She ''loves'' the liquor that mortals make and brags that she can finish several bottles all by herself, much to Michael's concern.
* HospitalHottie: When in her human disguise in WMTSB, she takes up a job as a nurse and takes care of Eugen.
* InformedAttractiveness: In "Kappa Summer Chronicle", The sight of Europa and Gabriel in swimsuits caused a passerby skirt-chasing guy to utter this line:
-->S-such beauty! Beauty beyond what any mortal could possess! Absolute beauty... lies before my very eyes! How could I even think to speak to such divinity... What a grievous sin I've committed!
* MagicStaff: The Staff of Gabriel contains her power, and is one of the Seraphic Weapons which the player can forge.
* NiceGirl: She's easily ''the'' nicest among the Primarchs, often speaking to the captain in a very gentle and motherly tone.
* NoMacguffinNoWinner: [[spoiler:When Sandalphon comes for her wings in "What Makes the Sky Blue", she destroys her wings so that Sandalphon can't take them, giving the Captain and the others a chance to defeat him. Once the other Primarchs' wings are restored to their rightful owners, they heal her wings back to normal.]]
* TheMentor: She’s this to Europa, though they appear to have a closer relationship than the other primarchs to do their respective disciples.
* OutOfFocus: Along with the other tetra-element Primarchs, her role become lesser and lesser as the "What Makes The Sky Blue" storyline progresses, to the point where she doesn’t show up in "The Maydays" or "Tower of Babyl", which are both direct continuations of the story. [[SpotlightStealingSquad Sandalphon]] even makes up an excuse for why she and the other primarchs can’t be of any help to them in "Tower of Babyl".
* PerpetualSmiler: Her default expression is a gentle and kind smile.
* RoseHairedSweetie: She's by far the friendliest of the tetra-element Primarchs.
* StatusEffects: This is her role in the Four Primarchs raid, by inflicting some very nasty debuffs and ailments, as well as repeatedly removing buffs from the players.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Is clearly the more feminine Primarch between her and Michael.
* WaterIsWomanly: She's the most feminine of the tetra-element Primarchs and is the Primarch of water.

The primarch of Earth. Being the youngest of the four primarchs, the others treat him like a little brother.
----

* TheGodsMustBeLazy: Despite being the TopGod of the ''Granblue Fantasy'' universe, he's the least likely of the anyone to step in and do anything when trouble arises, even if said trouble threatens to end the world that he created. Even Lucifer begins to wonder if he wishes for the end of the world in ''Created by the Stars, Loved by the Skies'', and Lu Woh of the Six Dragons in ''Old Bond'' even says that it might be necessary to overthrow him should he continue to neglect his duties.

* SignatureMove: Skyfall, its most infamous attack from its raid boss version which hits for 9,999,999 in dark damage to all characters.
* {{Superboss}}: Super Ultimate Bahamut is by far, ''the'' most difficult raid boss in the entire game, making previous endgame bosses like Lucilius, Beelzebub, and Belial pale in comparison to him, generally requiring a full 6 player party of each element to try and mitigate the bajillion different mechanics he has.
