History Characters / Persona5Tactica

The Shadow Self of Toshiro, he is the representation of his subconscious belief that his attempts to do good will only bring harm upon others.

* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler: After the final battle, she returns to being part of Toshiro's heart, but not before saying goodbye to him and the Phantom Thieves.]]

[[folder:Salmael (All spoilers unmarked)]]
The true mastermind of the world, Salmael is a god that was created from humanity's instinct to avoid pain. Upon seeing the spark of rebellion in Toshiro's heart, he created the kingdoms and the people as representatives of his past as a way to break him.

* BigBad: The one who attempted to destroy Toshiro's willpower before deciding to kill him.
* HijackedByGanon: PlayedWith. Jerri states that she is serving under a "Lord" and complains about how he would not approve of her methods, but isn't allowed to say their name. Given she is also enforcing tranquility like Salmael, shares similar mannerisms, and the place where she meets her boss is filled with cogs, it's implied that the "lord" she's serving under is actually Salmael.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: His main body somewhat resembles Yaldabaoth, being a headless, angelic being. Salmael also sounds like "Samael", the shadow form of Masayoshi Shido and a pseudonym of the Gnostic Yaldabaoth.

!!Supporting Characters (unmarked spoilers)

%%[[folder:Yuki]]

[[folder:Eri Natsuhara]]
Toshiro's upperclasswoman, Natsuhara is a young woman with a strong sense of justice and will not hesitate to take inaction in front of injustice. Likely the most important person of Toshiro's life.

* ChronicHeroSyndrome: She will absolutely fight back and stand for the side of justice if someone wronged her or other people. She developed this mindset after she was targeted in a framing incident and her homeroom teacher encouraged her to stand up for herself.
* RedHerring: After she slipped herself down the train tracks trying to run from Nakabachi's attempted sexual assault, the game makes it looks like she succumbed from her injuries and died. During a post-credits scene, [[spoiler:she shows up in front of Toshiro as a grown woman, although the incident at the train station did irreparably cripple her and she had to use a walking cane to walk.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Knowing the person that Erina is made after and the one who is most integral to Toshiro's past is definitely of this trope.

[[folder:Salmael]]
The true mastermind of the world, Salmael is a god that was created from humanity's instinct to avoid pain. Upon seeing the spark of rebellion in Toshiro's heart, he created the kingdoms and the people as representatives of his past as a way to break him.

[[spoiler: Once Toshiro awakens, she becomes his persona Ernesto, which is the real name of the famous Cuban Revolutionist Che Guevara.]]

* WalkingSpoiler: Knowing the person that Erina is made after and the one who is most integral to his past is definitely of this trope.

* MyGreatestFailure: When Nakabachi terrorized his high school with a spy network of students, he teamed up with Natsuhara to expose him, eventually succeeding after [[spoiler:arranging a lynch mob consisted of his victims and presenting to him recorded evidence of his schemes.]] Unfortunately, [[spoiler:after they kicked Nakabachi out, he was harassed by the student body to the point of insanity, at which he stalked him and Natsuhara to a train station where he attempted to sexually assault the latter out of revenge, causing the latter to slip into the train tracks trying to run and get ran over by a train and his reputation tanked to the point that he can't return to school until (what was suggested to be) Yoshiki silencing his students using his political status. This incident ''traumatized'' him and to an extent, he believed he ruined Natsuhara.]]

* AmbiguousSituation: Is his relationship with [[spoiler:Natsuhara]] purely platonic? [[spoiler:Given that Erina, a personification of his hidden courage, was first met in Marie's Kingdom opposing a cognition of his arranged fiancee that he has no good feelings with, and the post-credits reunion between him and Natsuhara, there might be some romantic subtexts between the two]].

* AmbiguousSituation: Is his relationship with [[spoiler:Natsuhara]] purely platonic? [[spoiler:Given that Erina was first met in Marie's Kingdom and Marie is based on his arranged fiancee that he has no good feelings with and the post-credits reunion between him and Natsuhara, there might be some romantic subtexts between the two]].

* NonActionGuy: Unlike the Phantom Thieves or Erina, he lacks the power to directly participate in combat.

* ArrangedMarriage: He was [[spoiler:forced to marry Marie Anto by his father Yoshiki so he could secure his son's premiership. Given Marie is a bossy and commanding {{Jerkass}}]] (and [[AmbiguousSituation depending on situation]] he might be in love with [[spoiler:Natsuhara]] instead), he's not too happy about it.

The person tyrant Yoshiki is modeled after and Toshiro's father. He is a prestigious member of the Diet nicknamed "Yoshiki the Bhuddha" because of his serene nature and (supposedly) clean record. In actuality, he is a highly controlling and fearsome parent towards his son Toshiro and seeks to mold him into a prestigious politician by any means necessary.

* AbusiveParents: Of the KnightTemplarParent sort. He will subject his son to corporal punishment if he fails to meet his demands, and constantly a controls on his future career path, doing any means necessary to ensure Toshiro climbs to the peak of the political ladder.

* TheDragon: It's implied that she's a servant of [[BigBad Salmael]].
