[[folder:Nash Latkje]]
* {{Bishounen}}
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Has a ''UsefulNotes/PlayStation'' VisualNovel in two volumes, ''Suikogaiden'', wherein he is the main protagonist. It showed that he participated behind the scenes in various events of ''VideoGame/SuikodenII''. [[NoExportForYou Never did come out from Japan though.]]
** There is an [[http://ramsus-kun.webs.com/Suikogaiden/Home.htm english patch]] for those interested.
* ImpliedLoveInterest: His wife who he constantly mentions is implied to be 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.
* KnifeNut: While his GaidenGame had him DualWielding a pair of large swords to great effect, this time around he uses knives instead. (The fact that the swords in question were [[AllThereInTheManual allegedly cursed to send Nash into a berserker rage where he could not distinguish friend from foe]] may have something to do with this decision.)
* NothingUpMySleeve: And he has some sort of knife-launcher for them hidden up his sleeve.

* BunnyEarsLawyer
* CloudCuckooLander
* DeadpanSnarker: Believe it or not. He tells at least two jokes without skipping a beat, and both are surprisingly funny.

* FishOutOfWater

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Thomas's party]]
!!Thomas
[[quoteright:101:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/suikoden3_thomas01.jpg]]

* AbusiveParents: Due to being the product of a brief fling, Thomas is hated by his nobleman father, who responds to his attempts at reconnecting with coldness and sends him off to Budehuc Castle as a means of getting rid of him.
* AChildShallLeadThem: He is the lord of Budehuc Castle at only 15 years old.
* ActionSurvivor: Becomes competent by trying to keep his castle afloat.
* {{Adorkable}}: He's meek, cowardly, easily flustered, but both lovable and admirable nonetheless.
* BigFancyHouse: Castle actually but same diff.
* BlueBlood
* CowardlyLion: He hates fighting and is quite weak and timid, but he'll always help out on the front lines when he has to.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He's a pretty worthless fighter, a total coward and incredibly passive and indecisive, but he also has the heart and soul of a leader and a surprising amount of potential as a warrior.
* {{Determinator}}: The world seems dead set on crushing his spirit but he refuses to let it keep him down. The fact that he manages to make a run down castle he was only given to keep him away from his father into the base of a revolutionary army is all thanks to this.
* HeroicBastard
* IHaveNoSon: His dad sent him to Budehuc so he could forget about him.
* MartialPacifist
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: The feminine boy to Cecile's masculine girls. Thomas is TheHeart and a NonActionGuy, while Cecile is an [[ThePollyanna energetic]] ActionGirl.
* MessianicArchetype
* NiceGuy: Really nice. The castle inhabitants don't like him but he just stays polite.
** They warm up to him over the span of his chapters, eventually becoming fiercely loyal to protecting Thomas.
* NonActionGuy: He's a moderately wealthy city boy with no combat experience thrown into the middle of an all out war. He begins at level 1 wielding a rusty old sword that he flails around randomly, gets winded after jogging for a bit and gets dizzy whenever he does his CombinationAttack with Cecille, during which he contributes much less than her. His true contributions to the army are his kind heart and his unwavering spirit.
* ThePollyanna: He has a DarkestHour in his Gaiden but other than that he's always optimstic.
* ReassignedToAntarctica: He was given lordship over a rundown castle on a worthless plod of land as a means of getting out of his father's life.
* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: His characterization is a departure from the typical Tenkai Star. See NonActionGuy and SupportingProtagonist for details. He's also the first Tenkai to not get a True Rune, and the only Tenkai to not even get a unique rune.
* SupportingProtagonist: He is the Tenkai star, but he isn't TheHero or BigGood of the game. He is however undoubtedly the Tenkai star because he still does most of the recruitment of the 108 stars.
* TheUnfavorite
* TookALevelInBadass: From a cowardly boy forced into a run down castle as a way of keeping him out of his neglectful father's hair to one of the main contributors to the revolution. This is reflected in his weapon, which spends all of its first two forms as pretty much worthless before getting a huge surge in stats that continue to skyrocket in its final form.
* WideEyedIdealist: Thomas is naive and rather sheltered, so he's unaware of many of the world's problems. As a result, he's perfectly willing to take in anyone, regardless of their background.

!!Cecile

* AscendedFanGirl: Able to fight alongside Chris.

* BodyguardCrush: To Thomas.
* CuteBruiser
* GenkiGirl
* GlacierWaif
* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: Averted, she's the only "knight" character to actually wear a helmet.

* LethalChef: She knocks Thomas out when he tastes her cooking.

* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: The masculine girl boy to Thomas feminine boy.
* MilitaryBrat
* OneManArmy: Well, her combat abilities aren't that much different from the other knights. She's this because she literally is the ''only'' soldier originally in Budehuc.
* PintSizedPowerhouse

* UndyingLoyalty

!!Sebastian
* TheJeeves: For Budehuc Castle.

!!Juan
* BareFistedMonk
* BerserkButton: Wake him up. ''[[GameBreaker Just]]'' [[UnstoppableRage wake him up]].
* BrilliantButLazy: He's your castle's skills mentor.
* BunnyEarsLawyer

* HeavySleeper
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He says some things in Thomas' story that can come off as ''really'' cruel, or at the very least, insensitive, but in the end he's a nice guy.
* LethalJokeCharacter: Juan may act like a Jerk and be a LazyBum but he is pretty much the strongest physical attacker in the game, dealing 8+ hits each turn. That's not counting the Waking rune.
* OralFixation
* SpearCounterpart: To Emily.
* ShipTease: Implied with Emily.

!!Piccolo
* BadassBeard
* BadassGrandpa
* CoolOldGuy
* FortuneTeller

!!Martha
* BadassGrandma: She's well into old age, but it doesn't stop her from mentally outwitting the corrupt Zexen Council.
* {{Hustler}}: She seems to even have some sort of deal going with Piccolo to get more customers to participate in her lottery and lose.
* KansasCityShuffle: She's the linchpin of a glorious one of these: she has the bulk of the Budehuc Castle dwellers fight off the Zexen military (with a bit of help from Geddoe and Hugo's groups, respectively). The Council absolutely has the strength to overpower Thomas's ragtag forces, but they're oblivious to the actual plan: while they stall, she travels to her home of Karaya and sells the land to Lucia, who in turn leases it to Thomas for a single potch a year, for 99 years. This is all completely legal in terms of Budehuc's contract with Vinay del Zexay. Additionally, and although Martha (probably) had no knowledge of this, the corrupt Councilman who's spent the better part of the chapter treating Thomas like shit and trying to evict him is not only is utterly defeated, but is also dragged back to Zexen by Percival and Leo to face the crimes that Salome indicted him in.
* MiniGame: Martha sells lottery tickets near the entrance of Budehuc Castle. She has owned the shop for ages and is very knowledgeable in the trade.

!!Muto
* BagOfSharing: His speciality -- he looks after the HQ warehouse, where all items and equipment can be dropped off, stored and retrieved when necessary.
* FunnyAnimal
* HeroicDog
* OurMonstersAreDifferent: He's a Kobold, but Suikoden Kobolds are more like cute dogs than the more usual lizardine versions.
* PettingZooPeople

!!Eike
* EncyclopediaExposita: He manages Suikoden 3's version of this -- The Old Books volume 1-12.
* KubrickStare

** There is an [[http://ramsus-kun.webs.com/Suikogaiden/Home.htm english patch]] for those interested.
* ImpliedLoveInterest: His wife who he constantly mentions is implied to be 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.
* KnifeNut: While his GaidenGame had him DualWielding a pair of large swords to great effect, this time around he uses knives instead. (The fact that the swords in question were [[AllThereInTheManual allegedly cursed to send Nash into a berserker rage where he could not distinguish friend from foe]] may have something to do with this decision.)
* NothingUpMySleeve: And he has some sort of knife-launcher for them hidden up his sleeve.

* TrainingFromHell: Estella forced him to bury himself up to his neck in the ground to increase his affinity for earth magic, run around a field with his belly button out to increase his lightning magic, blow on a bowl of soup until it got cold to increase his wind magic and dog-paddle 30 laps in the Budehuc Castle baths to increase his water magic.

* ApologeticAttacker
* ChildMage [[ChildProdigy Prodigy]]
* DarkActionGirl / DarkMagicalGirl
* TheDarkChick
* TheDragon: To Luc.
* EmotionlessGirl
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Played with. She does what she can to keep casualties to a minimum, but if Luc gives her an order, she follows it without question.
* TheIllusionist: 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.
* LadyOfBlackMagic: A reserved and emotionless Chizan Star who has powerful Runes.
* 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 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.
* MakingASplash: Possessed a Flowing Rune ([[UpToEleven a powered-up version of the Water Rune]]) from birth.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: Luc is only 30, but he still has the True Wind Rune.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong
** LoveMakesYouEvil: Kind of.
* NoCureForEvil: Averted. She has a Flowing Rune, and given her own affinity with magic, it's not a bad idea to ShootTheMedicFirst whenever she's on the battlefield. Hopefully before [[LightningBruiser Yuber]] or [[GlassCannon Luc]] nukes the party.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath
* RescueRomance: Her relationship with Luc.
* SquishyWizard: A [[GlassCannon Chizan star]], no less.
* SubordinateExcuse
* TogetherInDeath: With Luc.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Luc.
* VillainProtagonist
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: 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: 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: He had no loyalty whatsoever to Luc. In fact, he just wanted to take part in the war to make a name for himself.

!!The Flame Champion
[[quoteright:192:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/suikoden3_flamechamp01_7.jpg]]

* BigGood: Leader of the Fire Bringer who drove Harmonia out of the Grasslands.
* TheChosenOne: By the True Fire Rune.
* CompositeCharacter: His overall design is a mixture of both [[VideoGame/SuikodenI Tir McDohl]] and [[VideoGame/SuikodenII Riou]].
* DecoyProtagonist: Not actually a playable character. Instead, one of the three protagonists inherits his True Rune.
* {{Expy}}: Somewhat resembles [[Manga/{{Saiyuki}} Son Goku]]. His look also evokes, probably by design, that of the previous two games' protagonists, which makes the change here more pronounced as each of his three possible successors has a distinct cultural or demographic difference from that archetype.[[note]]One is a KidHero in the same vein, but is a tribal warrior with [[DarkSkinnedBlonde brown skin and blond hair]] that wields a knife. Another one is a JeanneDarchetype LadyOfWar and the first female protagonist. The third is a [[OlderThanHeLooks grizzled veteran mercenary who is, in fact, about a century old.]][[/note]]
* FolkHero: To Grassland tribes. Have fun by naming him classical names like 'Hercules' or 'Robin Hood'.
* HelloInsertNameHere: You can call the hero any name you wish.
* LawOfChromaticSuperiority: Red fire powers and a red/white outfit for the legendary leader and warrior.
* LegacyCharacter: Anyone who wields the True Fire Rune after him inherits the Flame Champion title, and if you choose, his name.
* MagneticHero: Implied as he united all the grassland tribes together.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]].
* NoNameGiven
* PlayingWithFire: As the wearer of the True Fire Rune.
* PosthumousCharacter
* SimpleStaff: His weapon of choice.
* [[TakeUpMySword Take Up My Rune]]
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: 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.

* BornWinner
* [[TheChiefsDaughter The Chief's Son]]
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Of the three, he's the one with classic old fashioned heroism. He's gotta help someone in trouble.
* DarkSkinnedBlond: Like most of his tribe.
** MulticoloredHair: The ends of his hair taper to black - a trait presumably from his unnamed father.
* {{Determinator}}
* GreenEyes
* TheHero: He is the one who canonically wears the True Fire Rune and [[TakingUpTheMantle becames the sucessor]] of the Flame Champion.
* HeroicBastard: It's implied by the timeline (and the fact that no one seems to know Hugo's father's identity) that he was conceived while Lucia was aiding Highland in the war against Jowston during VideoGame/SuikodenII.
* KidHero[=/=]AChildShallLeadThem: He's ''14'' during the events of Suikoden III and is the canonical successor to the title of Flame Champion and the new leader of the Fire Bringer.
* KnifeNut: His weapon.
* TheLeader:
* LegacyCharacter / ElementalPowers: Canonically, he will inherit the [[PlayingWithFire True Fire Rune]]. But depending on who you choose as the TFR successor, he'll either have the [[ShockAndAwe True Lightning Rune]] (If the player chose Geddoe) or the the [[KillItWithWater True]] [[MakingASplash Water]] [[AnIcePerson Rune]] (If the player chose Chris). He is also the only one of the three main characters who has access to inheriting all three Runes.
* LightningBruiser: He's fast, he's powerful, and he has a griffin.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: By Grassland standards.
* WarriorPrince: Is son of the Karayan chief, Lucia.

!!Sergeant Joe

* AmicablyDivorced
* AnAxeToGrind
* BadassAdorable: He may be a cute anthropomorphic duck, but there's a reason he has the same star as Viktor from the first two games. This duck is a career soldier, and it shows.
* BifurcatedWeapon: Uses a Halberd, which is an [[AnAxeToGrind axe]] and [[BladeOnAStick spear]] hybrid.

!!Fubar (Hoover)
* BigDamnHeroes: Provides one at the end of Hugo's diplomatic mission to Vinay del Zexay.
* BlindIdiotTranslation: His japanese name ( フーバー - ''hoover'') was translated as "Fubar".
** UnfortunateNames: [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar ''FUBAR?'' Seriously?]] Well, f-ing up the enemies beyond reason with Hugo on its back seems more likely, though...
* BlowYouAway: Can creates hurricares with his Shining Wind Rune.
* IntellectualAnimal: Fubar clearly understands things said to him but can only respond with bird cries.
%%* MightyGlacier
* NonHumanSidekick: To Hugo.
* OurGryphonsAreDifferent: A classical griffin.
* PowerupMount: Put Hugo on a team with him, and Hugo will ride and attack simultaneously with him.

!!Chris Lightfellow
[[quoteright:157:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s3_chris_lightfellow.png]]

* 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
* DamnYouMuscleMemory!: Chris' killing of Lulu was for the most part, purely by reflex in response to a threat.
* 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.
* TheLeader: Leads the Zexen Knights.
* LettingHerHairDown: The tail end of Chapter 2 through the beginning of Chapter 4, only, sadly.
* LegacyCharacter: Canonically, she will inherit the [[KillItWithWater True]] [[MakingASplash Water]] [[AnIcePerson Rune]] from 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.
%%* MightyGlacier
* MilitaryBrat: Her dad was a knight before her.
* TheOjou: Lightfellow is a high up family, but her unit treats her like royalty.
* ParentalAbandonment: Her dad disappeared and her mom isn't around (implied to have died early in Chris's childhood). [[spoiler: By the end of the game, she finds her father only to lose him again shortly thereafter.)
* PurpleEyes
* RedBaron: The Silver Maiden, The White Hero of Zexen.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: In the Zexen knights there are no females but her.
%%* StatuesqueStunner
* TomboyishName: "Chris" is more commonly (though not exclusively) a boy's name.

* GuileHero: Just look at how he takes down the entire Zexen Council in the manga.

* BunnyEarsLawyer
* CloudCuckooLander
* DeadpanSnarker: Believe it or not. He tells at least two jokes without skipping a beat, and both are surprisingly funny.

[[quoteright:101:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/suikoden3_thomas01.jpg]]

* AbusiveParents: Due to being the product of a brief fling, Thomas is hated by his nobleman father, who responds to his attempts at reconnecting with coldness and sends him off to Budehuc Castle as a means of getting rid of him.
* AChildShallLeadThem: He is the lord of Budehuc Castle at only 15 years old.
* ActionSurvivor: Becomes competent by trying to keep his castle afloat.
* {{Adorkable}}: He's meek, cowardly, easily flustered, but both lovable and admirable nonetheless.
* BigFancyHouse: Castle actually but same diff.
* BlueBlood
* CowardlyLion: He hates fighting and is quite weak and timid, but he'll always help out on the front lines when he has to.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He's a pretty worthless fighter, a total coward and incredibly passive and indecisive, but he also has the heart and soul of a leader and a surprising amount of potential as a warrior.
* {{Determinator}}: The world seems dead set on crushing his spirit but he refuses to let it keep him down. The fact that he manages to make a run down castle he was only given to keep him away from his father into the base of a revolutionary army is all thanks to this.
* HeroicBastard
* IHaveNoSon: His dad sent him to Budehuc so he could forget about him.
* MartialPacifist
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: The feminine boy to Cecile's masculine girls. Thomas is TheHeart and a NonActionGuy, while Cecile is an [[ThePollyanna energetic]] ActionGirl.
* MessianicArchetype
* NiceGuy: Really nice. The castle inhabitants don't like him but he just stays polite.
** They warm up to him over the span of his chapters, eventually becoming fiercely loyal to protecting Thomas.
* NonActionGuy: He's a moderately wealthy city boy with no combat experience thrown into the middle of an all out war. He begins at level 1 wielding a rusty old sword that he flails around randomly, gets winded after jogging for a bit and gets dizzy whenever he does his CombinationAttack with Cecille, during which he contributes much less than her. His true contributions to the army are his kind heart and his unwavering spirit.
* ThePollyanna: He has a DarkestHour in his Gaiden but other than that he's always optimstic.
* ReassignedToAntarctica: He was given lordship over a rundown castle on a worthless plod of land as a means of getting out of his father's life.
* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: His characterization is a departure from the typical Tenkai Star. See NonActionGuy and SupportingProtagonist for details. He's also the first Tenkai to not get a True Rune, and the only Tenkai to not even get a unique rune.
* SupportingProtagonist: He is the Tenkai star, but he isn't TheHero or BigGood of the game. He is however undoubtedly the Tenkai star because he still does most of the recruitment of the 108 stars.
* TheUnfavorite
* TookALevelInBadass: From a cowardly boy forced into a run down castle as a way of keeping him out of his neglectful father's hair to one of the main contributors to the revolution. This is reflected in his weapon, which spends all of its first two forms as pretty much worthless before getting a huge surge in stats that continue to skyrocket in its final form.
* WideEyedIdealist: Thomas is naive and rather sheltered, so he's unaware of many of the world's problems. As a result, he's perfectly willing to take in anyone, regardless of their background.
