'''Cast of Characters'''

* LegacyCharacter: [[spoiler: Anyone who wields the True Fire Rune after him inherits the Flame Champion title, and if you choose, his name.]]

* WhoWantsToLiveForever: [[spoiler: He didn't. Gave up his True Rune and immortality so he could live the rest of his life with the woman he loved. Unfortunately, the rest of his life turned out to be much shorter than expected.]]

* LegacyCharacter: Canonically, she will inherit the [[KillItWithWater True]] [[MakingASplash Water]] [[AnIcePerson Rune]] from [[spoiler:her father]] Jimba. But if the player makes her the [[PlayingWithFire True Fire Rune]] successor, Hugo will inherit the TWR. But Chris can never inherit the [[ShockAndAwe True Lightning Rune]].

* GuileHero: Just look at how he [[spoiler:takes down the entire Zexen Council]] in the manga. With little more than [[spoiler:some rumors and some falsified evidence that's good enough to get the traitorous members to accidentally incriminate themselves...and does so in a way that he can truthfully claim to have been following the Council's own orders to the letter]].

* ImpliedLoveInterest: His wife who he constantly mentions is implied to be [[spoiler:the [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld thousand year old]] [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampire]] Sierra Mikain. And given that he looks like he hasn't aged a day in the 15 years between the games, many fans have speculated that she turned him into a vampire.]]

* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld:[[spoiler: He is 112 years old at the time of SuikodenIII]]

* HiddenDepths: He enjoys writing, and says he's writing a novel under a penname. [[spoiler: It's widely believed that Hitman Bravo is that penname and that he wrote Erk's Adventures, which appears in the castle newspaper.]]

!!Jimba [[spoiler:AKA Wyatt Lightfellow]]

* DarkSkinnedBlond: [[spoiler:Presumably he's gotten a suntan during his years living on the Karayan plains, because while as Wyatt his skin wasn't nearly as dark. Though still noticeably darker than normal for a Zexen.]]
* [[spoiler:GoOutWithASmile]]
* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice]]
* KnightInShiningArmor: [[spoiler: Formerly, though he may still fit as a Karayan example.]]
* LukeIAmYourFather:[[spoiler: He is Chris father, Wyatt Lightfellow]]

* [[spoiler:MayflyDecemberRomance: With his wife.]]
* [[spoiler:ReallySevenHundredYearsOld]]
* [[spoiler:ShellShockedVeteran]]
* TakeUpMySword: [[spoiler: He gives the true Water Rune to Chris (or Hugo) before dying.]]

* ThatManIsDead: [[spoiler:He's formerly Wyatt Lightfellow.]]
* [[spoiler:ZenSurvivor]]

* [[spoiler:AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence]]

* [[spoiler:GoOutWithASmile]]
* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice]]

* [[spoiler:ThanatosGambit]]

* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Orange Hair]]

!!The Masked Bishop [[spoiler:Luc]]

* TheIllusionist: [[spoiler:One of her major powers, and the key to Luc's EvilPlan. He basically used this in combination with his own SummonMagic to start a series of false flag attacks, throwing the Grasslands into war for the first phase of his plan.]]

* LoveMartyr: Luc is by no means abusive towards her in any way, but she is pretty much incapable of saying no to him. She might not like it, but she will kill untold amounts of people, plunge the entire world into war, and be complicit in a plan that [[spoiler:would kill '''billions''' including possibly '''God''' by destroying a True Rune]], basically because Luc told her to. She willingly pushes herself to the point of exhaustion for him.

* [[spoiler:RedemptionEqualsDeath]]

* [[spoiler:TogetherInDeath: With Luc.]]

* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: [[spoiler:In Luc's storyline, she stands up to Yuber, basically saying [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu she'll put him down herself]] if he even thinks about turning on Luc. Thankfully, Luc was able to calm them both down.]]

* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:Plays a key role in orchestrating the whole war, in which many thousands die, and gets ''everything'' he wants out of it while suffering no negative consequences whatsoever. Subverted in the manga adaptation, where instead his reputation is ruined and he has to go into hiding under an assumed name. In this adaptation, Caesar concludes that Albert's intention all along was to minimize the casualties of Luc's scheme, and Albert confirms this.]]
* ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler:He had no loyalty whatsoever to Luc. In fact, he just wanted to take part in the war to make a name for himself.]]

[[/folder]]
----

* RedHeadedHero

* BlondesAreEvil: Played with. She's really not that bad of a person, but she will literally do ''anything'' for Luc, regardless of her own sense of morality.

!'''VideoGame/SuikodenIII'''

!!Chris Lightfellow
* ActionGirl
* BattleBallgown: Her suit of armor.
* BigFancyHouse: Lightfellow is a well to do family after all.
* TheCaptain: Of the Zexen Knights, with the power and respect to back it up.
* CoolHorse
* DefrostingIceQueen: Staring off she's as rigid and cold as her armor, but mellows a bit by the end game.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Cecile, Ayame and Yun are all quite fond of her.
* IronLady: When in command of the Zexen Knights she is confident and assertive, and her all male unit are quick to fall in line and follow orders. Before the Zexen Council however, she is more SilkHidingSteel in that she has to bow and obey and subvert them subtly, like pretending not to notice Budehuc Castle going into bussiness for itself.
* JeanneDArchetype: Chris inherits her position from her dead superior and feels uncomfortable in it but carries it out for the good of Zexen's people.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Not as optimistic as most but she tries.
* LadyOfWar: Watch how easily she handles Hugo in chapter 1 and say she isn't.
* LettingHerHairDown: The tail end of Chapter 2 through the beginning of Chapter 4, only, sadly.
%%* TheLeader
* LegacyCharacter: Canonically, she will inherit the [[KillItWithWater True]] [[MakingASplash Water]] [[AnIcePerson Rune]] from [[spoiler:her father]] Jimba. But if the player makes her the [[PlayingWithFire True Fire Rune]] successor, Hugo will inherit the TWR. But Chris can never inherit the [[ShockAndAwe True Lightning Rune]].
%%* LightningBruiser
* LonelyRichKid: No siblings and no friends, only co-workers.
* MagicKnight: Of ThePaladin variety if she inherits the [[HealingHands True]] [[MakingASplash Water]] [[AnIcePerson Rune]]. She's a bad mage otherwise. Unless you grind, there's a good chance she'll never even get a 4th-level spell slot.

!!Geddoe
* AntiHero
* {{Badass}}
* BrokenAce
* TheCaptain: Of the 12th Defense Force unit of Harmonia, with the power and respect to back it up.

* DarkIsNotEvil
* EyePatchOfPower
* GoodIsNotNice
* HandicappedBadass: He's missing an eye. Yet, he still kicks ass.
* TheLeader
* KnightInSourArmor
* LegacyCharacter / ElementalPowers / DiscardAndDraw: Canonically, he's always been the [[ShockAndAwe True Lightning Rune]] bearer, but the player can make him inherit the [[PlayingWithFire True Fire Rune]].

* LightningBruiser
* MagicKnight: Equally skilled with sword and magic.
* MasterSwordsman
* TheMenInBlack
* TheParagon

!!Sergeant Joe

* BashBrothers: With Borus.
* TheCharmer: Attracts attention from a lot of nameless women in the game of all ages, and is also the only one to boldly flirt with Chris. But he's also one of the nicest of the knights.
