History Characters / OgreBattle64

* HotGoddess: Especially when she's consumed by the Infernal Aura and [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar loses all her clothes.]]

--> ''"That was too much excitement for an old guy like myself."''

* RedIsHeroic: Wears a vivid red outfit, which is your first hint she might be recruitable.

* CosmicMotifs: Stars, with both her special shield and how her name was given to her "by the stars."

* GoMadFromTheIsolation: Biske was able to handle the physical torture dished out to him by the Western Division due to his werewolf form. What ''really'' got to him was being in a pitch-black cell alone for years.

* {{Bishonen}}: A slender young man with MysticalWhiteHair.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Paul is capable of summoning demons, but will never use this power while he's in your army and instead just sticks to using a doll. Considering what happened the last time he summoned netherworlders, maybe he learned his lesson.

* ItsAllMyFault: Since he accidentally summoned the Gorgon who...

* ReligiousBruiser: It's his faith in [[CrystalDragonJesus Filarrh, the god of Lodisism,]] that keeps him from succumbing to the Infernal Aura.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Carth is the only human from Lodis who's a good guy.

* AGodAmI: In Chapter Four. His powers are truly impressive, but as it turns out, [[spoiler: the real god was his younger brother Yumil.]]

* TookALevelInBadass: Thanks to a little help from [[spoiler: the Infernal Aura]], goes from sniveling in the presence of the Knights Templar and unable to beat a single one of their Mooks, to [[spoiler: apparently ordering Temple Commands]] and being one of the most powerful opponents the player will face.
* WarriorPrince: Fancies himself one, but even after [[spoiler: getting a power boost from the Infernal Aura]], he's still not a good fighter...when he's just using a sword.

* AGodAmI: Not to the extent of his son Amrius--[[spoiler: for one thing, Yumil shows him pretty quick who's got the real divine power]]--but he has his moments.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Gets [[spoiler: disintegrated by Yumil.]] May also count as {{DeathByIrony}}, since [[spoiler: the man who tried to kill his son as a child gets killed by that very same son.]]

* OffingTheOffspring: [[spoiler: Sent an assassin to kill Yumil when his son was a young child. Thanks to Ankiseth, it didn't work.]]

* WeHardlyKnewYe: Vapula and Amazeroth have Hugo Report entries, but neither appear or are mentioned before Chapter Four, and are only seen twice each before getting killed. Neither has lines in their first appearance.

* CoolSword: His Flamberge.

* GodzillaThreshold: Considering his history and power set, the Central Division's decision to free Biske and send him after the Revolutionary Army ''anyway'' shows just how desperate they are by Chapter Three.

* NotSoStoic: Despite boasting about how powerful his curse makes him, a conversation with a cleric in Capitrium reveals Biske is actually insecure about being a werewolf.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Considers returning to Lodis in the neutral and high Chaos Frame endings. He either [[ChangedMyMindKid persuades himself to stay]] or gets talked out of it by Paul and/or Carth, if you have them.

* TheDragon: To Yumil, during Chapter Two.

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Has this done to him [[spoiler: by Yumil]] if the player chooses to cooperate with Ankiseth in Chapter Two, but refuses to let him join the Revolutionary Army in Chapter Three.

An old acquaintance of Leia.

* DefectorFromDecadence: Fought against the Brigade of Radiant Cross when he saw its members succumbing to the Infernal Aura.

* WeHardlyKnewYe: Shows up prominently in the prologue and is apparently high-ranking in the Central Division, but is never seen or mentioned again until his death in Chapter Three.

* GoodParents: Likely had a hand in raising Leia as one of the few morally good members of Palatinus' upper class. Their relationship is also not as strained as [[WellDoneSonGuy Magnus and Ankiseth's.]]

* FaceHeelTurn: Though it's debatable how much of it was really his fault, what with [[spoiler:getting force-fed a mind-altering demon fruit and all.]] To make it more complicated, how much of a turn it is can vary on playthrough.

* TheIdealist: Has grand ideals of making a world of equality and peace.

* SelfMadeOrphan: [[spoiler: Disintegrates Procus in Chapter Four.]]

* UnwittingPawn: Of Zeda, and by extension [[spoiler: Rashidi.]]

* AxCrazy: Amazeroth and Vapula have become this by the time you first see them. [[spoiler: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] in Amazeroth's case if the player visits Winnea before going to Ptia. He's still succumbed to the Infernal Aura to some extent because he turned on Baldwin and Richard earlier, but Carth has as well, and he kills Amazeroth.]]

* MagicKnight: Can use the Invocation spell if they're in the back row.

* BlowYouAway: Uses wind element spells.

* IdiotBall: Happens twice in most playthroughs. First, Mari's fear of losing Yumil [[spoiler: causes her to [[InsaneTrollLogic ''kill him'']]]]. Secondly, after Zeda tells her she's been an UnwittingPawn all along and orders her to [[spoiler:stab and break the seal on Danika's prison]], Mari decides to vent her frustration by randomly stabbing the ground, [[spoiler:which is the seal on Danika's prison.]] The story only continues after the Revolutionary Army takes Winnea because of Mari.

* LineageComesFromTheFather: Gets her magical power from her father, [[spoiler:[[GreaterScopeVillain Rashidi]]]].

* AxCrazy: Amazeroth and Vapula have become this by the time you first see them. [[spoiler: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] in Amazeroth's case if the player visits Winnea before going to Ptia. He's still succumbed to the Infernal Aura to some extent because he turned on Baldwin and Richard earlier, but Amazeroth hasn't succumbed to the Infernal Aura--''Carth'' has, and he kills Amazeroth.]]
* CoolSword: All of them have the strongest sword of their element: the Adamant Katana for Pruflas (Earth), the Laeveteinn for Amazeroth (Fire), and the Nephrite Sword for Vapula (Water).

Captain of the Southern region.

* DealWithTheDevil: It doesn't work.
* InformedAttribute: You don't learn he apparently had a family until after [[spoiler: he's already sacrificed them to get Ogres.]]

* StarterVillain: Though Rhade is more actively antagonistic to Magnus, Godeslas is the general of the Southern Division and, as such, commander of the forces the player's fighting in Chapter One. He's also the first character to interact with Baldwin, and introduces [[spoiler: the ogre plotline]].

* ClusterFBomb: With every word but the "f", beginning with his literal first line:
--> ''"Damn those sons of bitches!!"''

* AGodAmI: Actually the [[spoiler:reincarnation of Danika, the daughter of Berthe, the Goddess of Earth]].
* [[spoiler: BigBadEnsemble: Would qualify as the BigBad if not for the fact that he gets killed shortly after becoming a villain.]]

* FaceHeelTurn: Though it's debatable how much of it was really his fault, what with [[spoiler: getting force-fed a mind-altering demon fruit and all.]] To make it more complicated, how much of a turn it is can vary on playthrough.

* IdiotBall: Happens twice in most playthroughs. First, Mari's fear of losing Yumil [[spoiler: causes her to ''kill him'']], which makes no sense. Secondly, after Zeda tells her she's been an UnwittingPawn all along and orders her to [[spoiler: stab and break the seal on Danika's prison]], Mari decides to vent her frustration by randomly stabbing the ground, [[spoiler: which is the seal on Danika's prison.]] The only reason the story doesn't nicely end after the Revolutionary Army takes Winnia is because Mari keeps doing plot-convenient stupid things.

* AGodAmI: In Chapter Four. As it turns out, [[spoiler: the real god was his younger brother Yumil.]]

[[folder:The Revolutionary Army]]
!!Frederick Raskin
[[quoteright:246:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/art_23.jpg]]
The leader of the Revolutionary Army.

Tropes associated with Frederick:
* CoolTeacher: To Magnus, particularly helping him iron out what his ideals are.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler:Dies in battle shortly after becoming king]].
* InformedAbility: Supposedly a warrior, but you never see him fight and he certainly doesn't look tough. In fact, the one time he's in a battle, [[spoiler: he dies, in all the Chaos Frame endings]].
* OutOfFocus: In-universe Frederick is the man with the organizational skills to take a RagtagBunchOfMisfits and make them into LaResistance, the diplomatic ability to gain foreign allies, and the rhetorical skill and goodness of character to keep the revolution from [[HeWhoFightsMonsters getting out of control]]. But since [[RuleOfFun winning battles makes for more interesting gameplay than diplomacy and management skills]], Frederick's contributions to his own revolution are overlooked in favor of focusing on [[RuleOfCool Magnus kicking butt]].
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Is pretty much nice to everyone. It's his kindness and [[FaceDeathWithDignity courage in the face of death]] that finally gets Magnus to decide to join the revolution. In the neutral and high Chaos Frame endings, he's also known as a good and just king.

!!Xevec Nualton
[[quoteright:258:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/xevec_nulaton_6.jpg]]
Leader of the Southern Tigers branch of the army.

Tropes associated with Xevec:
* KilledOffscreen: If Dio leaves your party, [[spoiler:Dio says that he killed him before he fights you at Fort Romulus]].
* FaceHeelTurn: In most playthroughs, in Chapter Four Xevec will [[spoiler: betray the Revolutionary Army, due to thinking Prince Amrius has gained the ultimate power and become unbeatable]].
* HufflepuffHouse: His Southern Tigers are presumably a big and influential enough fighting group to earn Xevec a spot at the top of the Revolutionary Army. They're never once seen in action. The only mention of them fighting is some skirmishes with the Central Division at the start of Chapter Four, right before [[spoiler: Xevec betrays the Revolutionary Army]].
* TokenEvilTeammate: If sharing the same sprite as Rhade wasn't a big enough hint, he's by far the most aggressive member of the Revolutionary Army and the only one who regularly swears. He mainly exists to show how moderate and peaceable Frederick is by comparison.

* FaceHeelTurn: In most playthroughs, in Chapter Four Xevec will [[spoiler: betray the Revolutionary Army, due to thinking Prince Amrius has gained the ultimate power and become unbeatable.]]
* HufflepuffHouse: His Southern Tigers are presumably a big and influential enough fighting group to earn Xevec a spot at the top of the Revolutionary Army. They're never once seen in action. The only mention of them fighting is some skirmishes with the Central Division at the start of Chapter Four, right before [[spoiler: Xevec betrays the Revolutionary Army.]]

A former member of one of the Central Division's branches. Her comrades were butchered by Ogres and as the sole survivor, she blames Magnus for it, as she was told the rebels unleashed the ogres. [[spoiler:It was General Godeslas]]. Will join the rebellion if you defeat her and have a high Chaos Frame.

* StarterVillain: Though Rhade is more actively antagonistic to Magnus, Godeslas is the general of the Southern Division and, as such, commander of the forces the player's fighting in Chapter One. He's also the first character to interact with Baldwin, and introduces [[spoiler: the ogre plotline.]]

* ClusterFBomb: With every word but the "f".

* DroppedABridgeOnHim: In the [[spoiler: high and neutral Chaos Frame Endings.]] Becomes king, but dies in battle shortly after.
* InformedAbility: That he can fight. In fact, the one time he's in a battle, [[spoiler: he dies, in all the Chaos Frame endings.]]

* KilledOffscreen: If Dio leaves your party,[[spoiler: Dio says that he killed him before he fights you at Fort Romulus.]]

* AxCrazy: Amazeroth and Vapula have become this by the time you first see them. [[spoiler: Though in Amazeroth's case, if the player visits Winnea before going to Ptia, Amazeroth hasn't succumbed to the Infernal Aura--''Carth'' has, and he kills Amazeroth.]]

* DroppedABridgeOnHim: In the [[spoiler: High and Middle Chaos Frame Endings.]] Becomes king, but dies in battle shortly after.
* InformedAbility: That he can fight. In fact, the one time he's in a battle, [[spoiler: he dies, in either the high or low Chaos Frame endings.]]

* DroppedABridgeOnHim: In the [[spoiler: High Chaos Frame Ending.]] Becomes king, but dies in battle shortly after. In the [[spoiler: Middle Chaos Frame Ending]], though, he lives.

* PrettyInMink: Like all Sirens, she wears a fur coat.

* WomanInWhite: Besides the Princess class, Meredia is the only character in the game to wear white.

* BloodKnight

* HeroWithBadPublicity: Zigzagged. Biske is feared by many because of his werewolf form and criminal record, but he seems well-liked and even trusted by the people of Capitrium.

* ShipTease: With Liedel.
* WolfMan: Ogre Battle's take on a werewolf is basically a muscular, bipedal wolf. With [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair blue hair.]]

* YouKilledMyFather: The Gorgon who stoned Paul's best friend is actually Mylmurre, the boss of Barpheth. Paul will say both these lines if you let him confront her.

* BlessedWithSuck: Baldwin comments that [[spoiler: even the power-enhancing capabilities of the Infernal Aura]] couldn't do much with Godeslas.

** TheSmartGuy: [[TheArchmage Saradin]]

* GuideDangIt: Aisha, Debonair, Destin, and Gilbert can be easily to miss, even if you fulfill all the requirements to get them.

* PetTheDog: He seems to genuinely care about Thamuz and gets very upset when Thamuz gets killed.

* CoolOldGuy: Other than the fact that he's working for the Caliginous Order and has no problem helping them seek power from the netherworld, he seems a pretty decent, honorable guy.

* [[spoiler: SelfMadeOrphan: Disintegrates Procus in Chapter Four.]]

* AllThereInTheManual [=/=] InformedAttribute: Both Vapula and Amazeroth have Hugo Report entries that describe them in more detail (such as Amazeroth being a "quiet man"), but since you only see them when they've succumbed to the Infernal Aura, you never actually see these parts of their personalities.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: If you lost Dio, Xevec won't [[spoiler: betray the Revolutionary Army at Fort Romulus]], but he also won't appear ever again, making his fate uncertain.

* DefeatMeansFriendship[=/=]DefectorFromDecadence: If your Chaos Frame is high enough...
* GuideDangIt: ...which can be frustrating to players who aren't aware of the mechanic yet, as she is the first special character with such a requirement.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Is pretty much nice to everyone. It's his kindness and courage in the face of death that finally gets Magnus to decide to join the revolution. In the neutral and high Chaos Frame endings, he's also known as a good and just king.

* FragileSpeedster: With his special Idaten's Mail on, will likely be the fastest character in the game.

* IncorruptiblePurePureness: If the player visits Argent before Winnia, they'll find out that Count Silvis has died rather than succumb to the Infernal Aura, and even beyond that he's such an honorable man the lich Reucharle can't bring him back as an undead. [[spoiler: Subverted if the player visits Argent after taking Winnia, in which case Count Silvis has turned evil.]]

* HateSink: He's like Godeslas, but even more of a sniveling, cowardly, pathetic, double-crossing loser.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In most playthroughs, he slinks off-screen after the Blue Knights beat him and is never seen again. In the [[spoiler: Low Chaos Frame Ending]], though, he happens to run across [[spoiler: a reincarnated Rashidi]] and gets [[spoiler: brutally disintegrated.]]

* TookALevelInBadass: Thanks to a little help from [[spoiler: the Infernal Aura]], goes from sniveling in the presence of the Knights Templar and unable to beat a single one of their Mooks, to [[spoiler: apparently commanding Temple Commands]] and being one of the most powerful opponents the player will face.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Is pretty much nice to everyone. It's his kindness and courage in the face of death that finally gets Magnus to decide to join the revolution.

!!Jeal

* ForgottenChildhoodFriend: Played with. He has a feeling he knew Mari, his lover, in his youth. He didn't. Mari's father is Rashidi, who specifically manipulated the entire situation so that the two would meet.
